Mrs MDS has a confession to make. Don't tell Rachel okay as she will laugh and then reproach me. In the spirit of old school journalism and research I tried the Dukon Diet. OMG I lasted a week, that is all I could take. I only had 3 days on the protein only attack thing and then went into cruise mode. It was awful. Now I know why I never diet. All this restrictive or x food only diet stuff is ..well quite frankly shite. Yes you can tell me I'm such and such blood group, yes we were once cavemen that only ate berries and hunted meat but guess what we've moved on!
In fact science has moved on and despite the many weirdy quasi sports/nutrition geeks out there who will tell us what we used to eat in a cultural context, it is usually based on commercial sales to fill a void. Basically there are lots of new thoughts on genetic development, mutations, physical anthropology and evolution and any diet can cherry pick which bit of science or research. Nothing is set in stone and btw caveman died at an average age of 30.
Over to the wise words of Rachel...
TOWIE recently touted the "no carbs before Marbs" rule as a quick way to lose weight and get that bikini body. There has been much discussion about the merits (or not) of reducing carbs and eating a diet high in protein in order to lose weight quickly – notably Atkins and Dukan – and, it has to be said, in the short term this does work up to a point, but really, do you want to live without what we consider to be "normal" food such as fruit, bread or potatoes? The Make Do Diet will help you understand why carbs get such bad press, and what it is about the high-protein diet that helps your body.
1. It's all about QUALITY and not QUANTITY – much like Animal Farm, not all carbs are equal, and unfortunately, in a society where cheap food full of Trans fats, processed sugars and little nutrition is everywhere you need to be savvy in your choice of what carbs you eat.
2. The Gspot – it's all about getting that high you know!! Or in the case of this, getting the low...in the best possible way. So, some carbs release into your body at an alarming rate (think of water going through a colander) – this affects the level of sugar in your blood stream, and you body, ever conscious to keep harmony, will immediately pour on insulin to calm down the sugar rush.
3. Insulin is a great little hormone that helps control glucose levels and synthesising fat...but it also wields its power with a sweeping hand and often over reduces sugar in the bloodstream too much which then makes the body crave more sugar...and guess what, when the body wants sugar it will make you seek it out, find it, devour it like a lion searches for its prey.
4. Pressing that insulin button with high sugar fixes and little exercise will encourage your body to rely (or even become "addicted" to sugar) and will not help you shift that weight. Worse, a side effect of insulin happens as it is working...cos when it is working, it stops your body burring fat...yep, when you eat lots of high sugar foods, you CAN'T burn fat at the same time....so keep sugar levels low.
5. So, get ready to understand that we need to seek out carbs that have slow release (much like trying to drain custard through a t-shirt..) which will help stop us spiking our sugar levels – this is called the "Glycaemic Index" or GI as it most commonly know – or G spot as we will call it!
6. Exercise is also going to play a part, as you have found out already, 30 mins a day makes a difference, and what happens is that as we start to exercise, insulin stimulates the release of glucose (sugar) into our bloodstream, but once we have been exercising for a while, the sugar levels drop and the body then reduces insulin which then makes us burn fat – yes, FAT. The side effects from burning fat (apart from getting rid of the stuff) is both heat and water...so you will need to now up your level of exercise until you start to get pink in the face and sweat – and it has to be over 20 mins.
7. Swap Shop – so, in order to get to the G spot, here are examples of how to reduce the sugar highs (or even buy a book to help you out) and keep your body ticking over nicely burning fat as you go about your daily life. xx
Items that have high sugar levels - eat sparingly, with other low foods and make sure you exercise on the days that you eat these!
Moderate levels of sugar, but still go easy. Think about having your meal with these items...and keep your sugar levels down.Sawp Boiled Potatoes/baked potatoes for Rice/long grain rice/pasta or even better have salad – inc lots of dark green veg such as spinach and green peppers. Plus add a sprinkling of seedsswap.
Bagels for Wholemeal muffins – get from health food shop or make your own even better.
Yogurt and fruit such as grapes, peach, and apple.
This is delicious - and it is made by the wonderful Rachel's Dairy (also based in Aberystwyth!)Swap Baguettes for French baguette or evn betterWholemeal organic bread – esp. spelt or rye
Cheerio's/Cornflakes/sugar puffs for Bran flakes or Make your own muesli with a mixture of grains, nuts, seeds and oats
PS I loved the M&M's info, it is the peanut ones of course. I had to tweet Rachel for clarification...had to put the tub of choc ones back!
Oh yes you can have these!! (Well if needs must.. ssshh)
PPS... if Rachel picks on me ref the M&M's it is because Daniel Craig married the wrong Rachel.

Bloomberg Pimps Coney I-sore
New York City Mayor, Michael Bloomberg unveils a $2.5-billion plan to revitalize Coney Island, building a year-round, amusement arena that will pump new life into the diminishing entertainment mecca.
The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce held an elite business luncheon featuring New York City Mayor, Michael Bloomberg, Thursday, November 8th, at Gargiulo's Restaurant in Coney Island, during which time, the Mayor unveiled a $2.5-billion plan to revitalize Coney Island, building a year-round, amusement arena that will pump new life into the diminishing entertainment mecca.
During the banquet, the Mayor stated that the City has been working with the Coney Island Development Corporation (CIDC) in an effort to alleviate outdated zoning restrictions, which have blocked improvements that would attract private investors, and that the revitalization of Coney Island would lead to $2.5 billion in private investment over the next ten years, resulting in the creation of at least 3,000 new permanent jobs, including 20,000 construction jobs over the next 30 years.
In collaboration with the CIDC, the Mayor devised a plan to revitalize 19 city blocks, covering 47 acres, both north and south of Surf Avenue. The proposal includes rezoning the land bounded on the east by Stillwell Avenue, on the west by West 20th Street and on the north and south by Mermaid and Surf avenues for residential and retail use. "That will create the capacity for up to 1,800 new apartments, including affordable units, and 100,000 square feet of retail space," the Mayor said.
The area between West 19th and West 24th Streets and south of Surf Avenue that is now used for parking, they propose, while preserving adequate parking, to connect to the Boardwalk and to the rest of the neighborhood by opening up a new network of streets, creating conditions that will lead to the development of 2,700 apartments and 360,000 square feet of retail space.
The area bounded by West 8th and West 19th Streets, Surf Avenue and the Boardwalk, the Mayor, together with the CIDC, propose to make it possible to have indoor amusements and sit-in restaurants, which are currently prohibited. They also propose to map the latter mentioned area as new City parkland, which would create 50 adjoining acres of public park for quality recreation.
According to the Mayor, the proposed changes would allow for development of a high-speed roller coaster, an ice-skating rink, new rides, a year-round water park and hotel with slides and rides, year-round aquatic attractions and outdoor performance areas for live music and entertainment on the Boardwalk and on the beach.
The New York City Mayor stated that he will work closely with Brooklyn Borough President, Marty Markowitz, City Councilmember Domenic Recchia and the community to go through the RFP process to find a "dynamic developer and manager to whom the City would lease the amusement area in Coney East."
Pursuant to the affair, a Q & A session was held, at which time, BSN inquired of Mayor Bloomberg if the proposed plan would force community residents out of their homes, to which the Mayor replied, "No. Nobody will lose their homes. In fact, the plan would create more affordable housing."
"This [Coney Island] has become an area that has seen its better days, but we can make its better days in the future," the Mayor chimed.

Roads for Off-Highway Driving in Boulder Ranger District, Roosevelt National Forest
Old mining and wagon trails and railroad grades weave across this area around Nederland and west of Boulder, Colorado. The mining and homesteading history has left a patchwork of private and public lands through which these roads pass. Stay on the roads. Off-highway does not mean off-road. All vehicles must travel on a designated Forest Service road. Get the Forest Service map. Most of these roads close for the winter and re-open between Memorial Day and the Fourth of July.
Apex/Kingston Peak The Kingston Peak Road crosses an above-treeline bench at 12,000 feet elevation. This affords spectacular views of the nearby James Peak Wildereness Area, as well as more distant views toward Longs Peak in the north and Mount Evans in the south. However, it also means there is snow late in the year so the season is short. Much of the distance is on the high-clearance two-wheel drive Apex Road. About eight miles is true four-wheel drive, with some quite steep, rocky sections near the top. The road passes the trailhead for the non-motorized James Peak Lake Trail and Ute Trail. Apex and Kingston Peak Roads connect to many more four-wheel drive roads to the south, within the Clear Creek Ranger District. NFSR 353
From the north, take Colorado Highway 119 south of Nederland to County Road 16 (East Portal Road) west to County Road 4N (Mammoth Gulch Road) south, then one mile past National Forest System Road (NFSR) 176 (Mammoth Gulch). From the south take County Road 4 (Apex Road), from Colorado Highway 119 near Clear Falls, two miles north of Blackhawk. The Kingston Peak Road also connects to Alice on the Fall River Road, County Road 275. In Boulder Ranger District, Roosevelt National Forest.
Beaver Bog Road Popular road for mountain biking and four-wheeling in Boulder Ranger District, Roosevelt National Forest. FDR 113A. Accesses Sourdough Trailhead.
Bunce School Road This is an easy to moderate 4WD road. The easy way to do the trip is to start from the Peaceful Valley Campground and complete the loop on the Peak-to-Peak Highway. Popular road for mountain biking. FDR 115.
Caribou Flats This is a 4WD and mountain biking road. The north end is off the Rainbow Lakes Road, one mile below the Rainbow Lakes Campground. In the middle it passes the townsite of Caribou (at the end of Country Road 128 out of Nederland) where there is a network of old mining roads on a lovely open plateau with fine views both up to the mountains and down over the plains. The south end is at County Road 130 in Eldora. The descent to Eldora is steep and narrow, and the switchbacks may be difficult for a long vehicle. Most of it is moderate, both in terms of climb and technicality, except the steep, loose, rough grade at the Eldora end. The crossing of Caribou Creek between the Rainbow Lakes Road and Caribou can be waist deep in the spring and early summer. The 4WD section can be made into a loop with the Peak-to-Peak Highway (CO 72) and your choice of the Rainbow Lakes Road, Caribou Road (County Road 128) or County Road 130. The Rainbow Lakes Road is rocky, high clearance 2WD with both up and downhill. Caribou Road is gravel and possibly washboarded, with a constant climb to the west. County Road 130 is paved and fairly flat, since the main elevation change is on the 4WD road.. Popular road for mountain biking. FDR 505, 128J, 116J.
The north end is off the Rainbow Lakes Road, one mile before the campground. In the middle it passes the old mining townsite of Caribou, at the end of gravel County Road 128 (Caribou Road) out of Nederland. The south end is at County Road 130 near Eldora.
Coney Creek Road "There are some short steep hills and the road is continuously rocky. In wet times there are muddy pools that can hide large rocks. The Coney Creek crossing is very deep and can be impassible in spring. The road ends at Indian Peaks Wilderness boundary at the Coney Flats Trailhead for the Beaver Creek Trail. At this point the Coney Cut-off road, an especially steep and narrow road, connects northward to the Middle Saint Vrain Road. The Coney Cut-off is easier negotiated starting from the Beaver Reservoir end of the loop."
Bikers, this is a rough 4WD road that ends at the Indian Peaks Wilderness boundary. This can make a loop with the Middle Saint Vrain Road, but is probably better started from Camp Dick. Be aware of heavy 4WD traffic. NFSR 113. Accessible from County Road 96 at Beaver Reservoir
Fourth of July Road This is a rough 2WD road that gains elevation gradually along the way and ends at Buckingham Campground on the edge of the Indian Peaks Wilderness. Popular road for mountain biking. County Road 111
Gross Reservoir Area There are several interconnecting 4WD roads and some single track on the northwest side of Gross Reservoir. Popular road for mountain biking. FDR 238
Johnny Park Area A 4WD road connects Big Elk Meadows with Meeker Park. Near Meeker Park, FDR 119 turns north and climbs steeply to House Rock. This road also continues to Pierson Park. There are some side roads and trails. FDR 118 follows the northern boundary of the Boulder Ranger District, and FDR 119 is in the Canyon Lakes Ranger District. Popular road for mountain biking.
On the east end, take US 36 west from Lyons. Take the turn to Big Elk Meadows on FDR118 to get to Coulson Gulch Trailhead. On the west end, turn off CO 7 in Meeker Park on the Cabin Creek Road.
Lefthand Canyon There is a network of four-wheel drive roads ranging from easy to difficult. There are some very steep hills and sidehill "leaners." Be especially careful of the latter, as there have been a number of roll-over accidents in this area. A free trail guide for the area may be obtained at the Boulder Ranger District Office.
Access west of Buckingham Park, four miles west of Altona, off the Lefhand Canyon Road, on National Forest System Road (NFSR) 286. In Boulder Ranger District, Roosevelt National Forest.
Lefthand Park Reservoir Road This road is fairly steep, but not too rough for a four-wheel drive road. At the reservoir, there is fishing and a good view of the Indian Peaks.
Mammoth Basin Mammoth Basin, FDR 176 / Mammoth Gulch Road, County Road 4N is a network of roads from difficult 4WD roads to rough 2WD roads.. Popular road for mountain biking.
Mammoth Gulch The Mammoth Gulch Road (NFSR 176) is fairly easy and not very steep. It continues up the valley for two miles until closed by a gate on private property. The Nebraska Hill Road, NFSR 183 forks right (north) just after Mammoth Gulch Road leaves 4N. It is a mile long to its end at the site of the old reservoir where there is good fishing and camping. A half mile farther west on 4N, the Baltimore Ridge Road, NFSR 416 turns left (south) and climbs a mile up to an old mining area.
From the north, take Colorado Highway 119 south of Nederland to County Road 16 (East Portal Road) west to County Road 4N (Mammoth Gulch Road) south, then 1.5 miles to National Forest System Road (NFSR) 176. From the south take County Road 4 (Apex Road), from Colorado Highway 119 near Clear Falls, two miles north of Blackhawk. In Boulder Ranger District, Roosevelt National Forest.
Middle Saint Vrain Road This four-wheel drive road is not steep, but can be very rough, with large rocks and logs. It follows Middle Saint Vrain Creek and crosses some side creeks. It ends at Indian Peaks Wilderness boundary, at the Middle Saint Vrain Trailhead on the Buchanan Pass Trail. The Middle Saint Vrain Road can make a loop with the Coney Creek Road. The connector road, the Coney Cut-off, an especially steep and narrow road, is easier negotiated from Beaver Reservoir end, on the Coney Creek Road. This can make a loop with the Coney Creek Road, returning either by the steep, loose Sourdough Trail or a longer, but easier return by the Beaver Reservoir Road and the Peak-to-Peak Highway. Be aware of heavy 4WD traffic. FDR 114.
Start at Camp Dick Campground. In Boulder Ranger District, Roosevelt National Forest.
Mofffat Road This is an old railroad grade and a rough 2WD road. It used to connect over the Continental Divide to Winter Park, but is now closed at mile 13 due to a collapse at the Needles Eye Tunnel. Popular road for mountain biking and 4WD. A self-guided auto tour booklet from the Rollins Pass Restoration Association is available at the Boulder Ranger District office for $1. FDR 149
From Rollinsville go west on County Road 16, west of the Peak-to-Peak Highway (CO 119) south of Nederland In Boulder Ranger District, Roosevelt National Forest.
Rainbow Lakes Road This is a rough 2WD road. Gradual elevation gain along the way ends at the Rainbow Lakes Campground on the edge of the Indian Peaks Wilderness. This connects to Caribou and Eldora by 4WD FDR 505. Popular road for mountain biking. FDR 298
Rock Creek Road This is a 4WD road. It starts with a gentle grade, then climbs increasingly steep. There are some short side roads. Popular road for mountain biking. FDR 116
Switzerland Trail This popular mountain biking and 4WD route is an old railroad bed, so the grades are moderate. Bikers, the surface is not technical, but it is rough and rocky. The stretch north of Gold Hill Road is less traveled because the connection at the north end at Sawmill Road requires a short, steep scree scramble with your bike on your shoulder where the new road fill covers the old railroad bed. The largest elevation drop is from either Gold Hill Road or Glacier Lake/County Road 120 to the junction of Sunset/Fourmile Canyon Drive. The Switzerland Trail can be made into a loop with a return by the Gold Hill Road an Peak-to-Peak Highway.
Drivers, much of this road is high clearance two-wheel drive, but it is one lane in places. It passes the Mount Alto Picnic Area. There are fine views to the east, and it is a good place for aspen colors in late September or early October.
Can be accessed from the Peak-to-Peak Highway (CO 72) at the southwest end, Fourmile Canyon at the low point from the east, Gold Hill Road or Sawmill Road near Lefthand Canyon on the northeast. In Boulder Ranger District, Roosevelt National Forest.
Taylor Mountain There are several 4WD roads, former roads that are now trails and the Taylor Mountain Trail, which is a single track. Moderate elevation changes occur. Popular road for mountain biking.FDR 330, #932.
Weather and road conditions determine opening dates for these off-highway roads. Roads east of the Peak-to-Peak Highway usually open mid to late May. Roads west of the Peak-to-Peak Highway open mid to late June. Check road status by calling 303-541-2500 or reading the Boulder District road closure web page.
Motor Vehicle Use Maps for the Boulder Ranger District (around Nederland, east of Rocky Mountain National Park, west of Boulder, Lyons, Longmont) are available online here. In addition, use the Forest map available from the district office listed on our Contacts page or by order from the link on our Maps page.

No name on the marquee was more pleasing to theater owners in 2008 than Will Smith, according to a survey of movie exhibitors.
Smith, star of "Hancock" and "Seven Pounds," was voted the star who generated the most box office revenue for theaters in an annual survey by Quigley Publishing Co.
Smith is only the second black actor to be chosen in the Quigley poll, which since 1932 has asked movie exhibitors to vote on the 10 stars who brought in the most business. Sidney Poitier topped the poll in 1968.
Smith's superhero summer blockbuster, "Hancock," grossed $228 million. "Seven Pounds," currently in theaters, has pulled in a somewhat lackluster USD 39 million in two weeks.
Following Smith, in order, were Robert Downey Jr ("Iron Man," "Tropic Thunder"), Christian Bale ("The Dark Knight"), Shia LaBeouf ("Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull") and LaBeouf's "Indiana Jones" co-star Harrison Ford.
The top 10 were rounded out by Adam Sandler, Reese Witherspoon, George Clooney, Angelina Jolie and Daniel Craig.
Last year's winner, Johnny Depp, who didn't have a film released this year, didn't make this year's poll, nor did seven-time winner Tom Cruise.
Anne Hathaway ("Rachel Getting Married") was voted the top "star of tomorrow" along with Chris Pine of "Bottle Shock."

Burke Supply
Burke Supply is a business to business New York City distributer of Janitorial Supplies, Foodservice Disposables and Paper & Packaging. The company, started in 1950, operates out of the Brooklyn Navy Yard in Williamsburg overlooking Manhattan.
We have a very broad range of customers. From large cleaning contractors who buy cleaning supplies and toilet tissues/paper towels for the largest NYC skyscrapers, to small delis who buy everything you need to hold and wrap the food they sell like disposable coffee cups, napkins, and the bag you put it in to take it with you. Generally any company that has a bathroom, uses a coffee cup, throws stuff away, cleans their facilities, sells food, or uses a cardboard box is a potential customer.
Please see the attached files. Meet "Burkulese". Burkulese is Burke's mascot who appears on the catalog, the trucks, and the paperwork of the company. Currently we only have two versions of Burkulese to work with, flying and standing.
This job is to provide us with five versions of Burkulese, two of them redrawing the positions we already have, and three in other positions, all that would be suitable for use in marketing materials. These versions of Burkulese should give him a somewhat updated look, yet still be completely recognizable to the former version. We are not looking to change our truck and other graphics right away, but gradually over time use this newer version of our company mascot. This new version should still look fun, maybe still even cartoonish. Burkulese's face should however, look less "goofy" and more "trustingly friendly".
Again, this new version should be very close to what we presently have. We are looking to review not only versions that look hand drawn as Burkulese presently looks, but also computer generated versions giving a more modern feel.
This job does hold the potential for doing future work with us. We may need other versions, and we have been discussing the possibility of doing short animations for our new website being designed. If these jobs come up we would prefer to return to the same designer.

ORLANDO, Fla., April 19 (UPI) -- Zeus, God of the Sky, may be out of work, as scientists at the University of Central Florida believe they've developed a technique -- which involves pointing a high powered laser at the sky -- to induce clouds to drop rain and hurl thunderbolts.
Scientists have known that water condensation and lightning activity in storm clouds are associated with large amounts of static charged particles. In theory, stimulating those particles with a laser is the key to harnessing Zeus-like powers.
The hard part, scientists say, is creating a laser beam with the right combination of range, precision and strength.
"When a laser beam becomes intense enough, it behaves differently than usual -- it collapses inward on itself," explained Matthew Mills, a graduate student in the UCF Center for Research and Education in Optics and Lasers. "The collapse becomes so intense that electrons in the air's oxygen and nitrogen are ripped off creating plasma -- basically a soup of electrons."
But students at UCF's College of Optics & Photonics have collaborated with researchers at the University of Arizona to create a "dressed laser" that they think might be up for the challenge of controlling the weather.
The dressed laser is a high-power laser beam surrounded by a second beam, which acts as a refueling agent, sustaining the strength and accuracy of the central beam over longer distances.
"Since we have control over the length of a filament with our method, one could seed the conditions needed for a rainstorm from afar," said Mills. "Ultimately, you could artificially control the rain and lightning over a large expanse with such ideas."
The students recently published their research findings in the journal Nature Photonics. Their efforts were supported by a $7.5 million grant from the Department of Defense.

Open-Silicon Improves Test Quality with Tessent Cell-Aware Test
September 11, 2013. Mentor Graphics Corp. announced at the International Test Conference that ASIC design company Open-Silicon has used the Tessent TestKompress product with Cell-Aware Test to improve test quality of SoC designs. By using the Tessent TestKompress product, Open-Silicon succeeded in detecting and resolving defects previously undetected using traditional techniques. Open-Silicon has also deployed the Tessent MemoryBIST product for at-speed testing, diagnosis, and repair of embedded memories.
"As our customers move to smaller process nodes and larger SoC designs, the challenge of detecting subtle defects becomes more complex," said Taher Madraswala, senior vice president of engineering for Open-Silicon. "To meet the demand for very low DPM, we need tests that not only detect defects at the standard-cell boundaries, but also capture defects within the cell. The Tessent Cell-Aware Test solution gives us this capability without increasing our test cost significantly."
Cell-Aware Test is a transistor-level test methodology that overcomes the limits of traditional stuck-at and transition fault models and associated test patterns by targeting specific shorts, opens, and transistor defects internal to each standard cell, resulting in significant reductions in defect (DPM) levels.
Open-Silicon provides its customers with fully tested parts, and the Mentor Cell-Aware Test capability and the Tessent MemoryBIST solution enhance their ability to provide more reliable silicon to their customers. Open-Silicon has used the Tessent TestKompress Cell-Aware Test capability to detect cell-internal defects that were not detected using traditional silicon test methods, which successfully reduced their defective parts-per-million (DPM).
"Cell-Aware Test is proving its value to companies like Open-Silicon who need to reduce DPM levels" said Steve Pateras, product marketing director at Mentor Graphics. "We are continuously enhancing our Tessent DFT solutions to achieve the highest test quality while reducing test development effort and production test cost."

I suppose you've all figured out I'm crazy about numbers. Stats. Useful information. It's kind of an obsession, as I explained to a friend this morning.
We've covered the top search engine terms people have used to find this blog. Now let's look at the top blogs during the 365 day outdoor commitment. (Although, it seems to me that these top blog numbers are not really accurate. If someone logs on to a blog and simply scrolls down the page without clicking on the actual title of the blog or the comments, no "hit" is registered in the statistics of a particular blog.)
#1 is Some Like It Funny and Some Like It Serious (1,247 hits) and #3 is Repeating myself like a broken record, record, record (or CD, CD, CD) (393 hits). Those two don't really "count" as random top blogs because these were the blogs featured on the home page of WordPress.com. The #2 top blog isn't really a blog at all. It's the "About" (612 hits) story which explains what this blog is about.
#4 is Fisher, Pine Marten, Bear and Moose (326 hits) which features photographs by Pam Boppel-Nankervis, a local wildlife biologist. The first photo (up above) was captured by a game camera.
#5 is The gall of that oak tree! That was the exciting day when we discovered that oak trees often grow green balls known as "galls". Very educational…for all of us. Apparently, many, many folks are interested in oak galls. 309 hits for this one.
I am also delighted to tell you that I discovered one of the dead birds hidden within this blog! At least part of a dead bird. The above raven's claw was featured in a post called Dead raven, deer hide, river and stones back in March. Perhaps all the people searching for "dead bird" end up on this post. It has had 284 hits.
#7 in the greatest hits series (ha ha, Barry made me use this title!) is A sucker for sucker fishing, written in May. I'm sure many fishermen have visited this post, wanting to know the secret for catching suckers. Bet they left not knowing much more than when they started. Here's what I remember about that day: throw the fishing pole into the water and wait until the sucker bites. Then jerk the pole up and hope that the hook caught the sucker. End of my knowledge of sucker fishing. 237 hits here.
#8 An all-time favorite of blog visitors has been Let's have a scavenger hunt! (235 hits). The idea for it popped into this brain on the way to the mailbox one day and we had a few eager participants. The rules: find some pussy willows, sumac or wintergreen, birchbark, animal scat and an animal. Photograph all five and email 'em to me. Some folks opted to put them in their own blogs. We had so much fun that Amy over at Flandrumhill decided to feature a follow-up contest. Hers was really classy and educational.
(Photo credit for above goes to Pam Boppel-Nankervis. And this was NOT from a game camera. She actually got this close to the fisher. Can you imagine?)
I hope that you don't consider this cheating. Putting in all these old photos and doing wrap ups of the year. The statistics just beg to be included, you understand. Besides, I didn't think you wanted yet another photo of me in that darn snowmobile suit from 1970 filling the wood room. That's what we did again today.
Almost forgot to tell you! More excitement. The temperature leaped back up into the 20's. Once again, we're living in the banana belt…

The Psychology program is designed to serve a number of purposes: to satisfy intellectual curiosity; to offer insights into human behavior, personal and social; to offer another dimension to the studies of those involved in education and nursing, in particular, and all disciplines in general; to prepare those choosing a major in psychology for graduate school and careers in the helping professions.
The required courses in the Psychology major are designed to provide students both with a background in scientific psychology and opportunities to apply their knowledge and skills in a community context via an internship experience. Students may also elect to complete independent studies in which the student contracts with a faculty member on a project of interest to the student.
Upon the completion of the program students will be able to:
Brainwaves is a peer-reviewed psychology journal accepting submissions from Mount Saint Mary College seniors. This journal publishes research proposals based on a contemporary issue in psychology. For more information or to read past issues, visit brainwaves.msmc.edu
General Psychology (PSY 1010) is a required course for all other upper division psychology courses. A minimum GPA of 2.0 ('C' average) in the major is required for graduation from the program.
Mount psychology students have had internship experiences at a wide variety of public and private institutions, including a number of different childcare facilities, public schools, mental health facilities, penitentiaries, and other community and state agencies.
Specific examples of where Mount students have interned in recent years:
Anderson School, Arlington Central School District, Beacon Community Center, Bethel Nursing Home and Rehabilitation Center, City of Newburgh Police Dept, Dutchess County Jail, Four Winds, FSI Teen Parent Program, Glen Hines Memorial Boys & Girls Club, Good Counsel, Head Start of Eastern Orange County, Hoops Express, Integrated Pediatric Therapies, John Jay High School, Kiddie Academy Child Care, Kids Peace Foster Care and Family Services, Learning Center, Mental Health Assn. in Fulton & Montgomery Counties, Middletown Schools, New York Police Department, Newburgh Enlarged City School District, Newburgh Family YMCA, Newburgh Healthy Families, NY Youth Advocate Program, NYS Dept of Mental Health, OC/AHRC New Windsor & Newburgh, PS 156. PS 203K Brooklyn, Putnam County Youth Bureau, Rehabilitation Support Services, Neighborhood Day Care Services, The Center for Recovery, The Center for the Prevention, The Children's Home of Poughkeepsie, The Johnes Home, The Learning Experience, Unity House-Domestic Violence Program, USMA Child Development Center, Vassar Brothers Medical Center, YAP Youth Advocate Program
Students with a baccalaureate degree in Psychology have a firm foundation for entry-level careers in social service agencies, consumer advocacy, business (such as personnel work and organization development) and community improvement groups. In addition, the psychology degree constitutes strong preparation for graduate studies.

It's being reported that the Oakland Raiders have waived offensive tackle Joe Barksdale. Barksdale was a third-round pick in Oakland's 2011 draft class. Yes, 2011.
It gets worse. Barksdale is the third Raiders player from that class to be released. Chimdi Chekwa, a cornerback drafted in the fourth round, was released on Sept. 1. DeMarcus Van Dyke, a cornerback also selected in the third round, was cut two days later. Dumping Chekwa isn't a huge deal—a handful of other fourth-rounders from 2011 have been released by other teams—but cutting loose two third-rounders just over a year after drafting them is not something that a well-managed football team should be doing. To add a little context, here are the other players that were selected in the first three rounds in 2011 who have been let go: Jaiquawn Jarrett and Terrell McClain (who was just signed by the Patriots). The Raiders have released as many players from the first three rounds of the 2011 draft as the other 31 NFL teams combined.
And what of the Raiders five remaining picks from the 2011 draft? Not a lot to be excited about:
Round 2 (48th overall): Stefen Wisniewski, C
Started all 16 games last season, split between guard and center. Has started two games at center this year, but came into the year on shaky ground.
Round 4 (125th overall): Taiwan Jones, RB
Sixteen career rushes for 73 yards. Two catches for 25 yards. Has not had a rush attempt or catch in the 2012 season. Is the third running back on the depth chart.
Round 5 (141st overall): Denarius Moore, WR
In the 2011 season: 33 catches for 618 yards and five touchdowns along with five rushes for 61 yards and a touchdown. In the 2012 season: eight catches for 112 yards and a touchdown. The most productive member of this class.
Round 6 (181st overall): Richard Gordon, TE
Two career catches for three yards. One came last week for a one-yard touchdown.
Round 7 (241st overall): David Ausberry, TE
Five career receptions for 70 yards. One rush for a loss of two yards.
Moore has been good so far and Wisniewski has been a solid contributor, but they hardly make up for what amounts to a staggeringly bad draft class.
So what were the Raiders thinking when making these picks? The answer is not surprising. The 2011 draft was the last one that the late Al Davis presided over, and we all know that Davis valued speed over almost anything else. So we checked the 40-yard dash times of Raiders' 2011 draft class. Outside of Barksdale and Wisniewski, a pair of linemen—who aren't expected to be fast—there was an obvious pattern. Among all cornerbacks, Van Dyke ranked first and Chekwa ranked third. Jones ran a 4.33 at a workout, ranking him second among all running backs. Gordon was listed running a 4.63, which ranked him fourth at his position, and Ausberry ran a 4.46 at USC's Pro Day.
The Raiders: Just run, and then get cut, baby.

At a news conference on Capitol Hill Friday, the self-styled "Gang of 10" unveiled an $84 billion measure they call the "New Era," more formally entitled the New Energy Reform Act of 2008.
It would permit producers to explore beyond a 50 mile buffer zone off Florida's Gulf coast and those of Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia, if those states opt in to the deal. It requires all new oil and gas production to be used domestically.
"I believe this effort epitomizes what the United States Senate is all about. Nothing gets done in this body without 60 votes, and you don't get 60 votes without a true bipartisan effort," said Senator Saxby Chambliss, a Georgia Republican who spearheaded the measure with Democratic Senator Kent Conrad of North Dakota.

While a simple majority of the 100 senators is enough to pass legislation, 60 votes are necessary to override a presidential veto and secure passage of a law should it be opposed by the president.
"Our country faces a critical challenge because of skyrocketing energy costs. This growing crisis is eating into the budgets of families across North Dakota," said Senator Conrad. "This is not a Democratic issue, or a Republican issue, it is an issue that affects all of us."
In an effort to rise above a partisan impasse that has stalled U.S. energy policy as gasoline prices skyrocketed, the New Energy Reform Act would fund the transformation of cars and trucks so that 85 percent of new vehicles on the road would be powered by fuels other than gasoline and petroleum diesel within 20 years.
The bill provides consumer tax credits of up to $7,500 per vehicle to motivate Americans to purchase advanced alternative fuel vehicles and up to $2,500 to retrofit existing vehicles with advanced alternative fuel engines.
It would extend renewable energy, carbon mitigation and energy conservation and efficiency tax incentives, including the production tax credit, through 2012 to spur greater investment in renewables.
The bill provides grants and loan guarantees for the development of coal-to-liquid fuel plants with carbon capture capability. Plants must have lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions below those of the petroleum fuels they replace.
And it supports nuclear energy by increasing staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, providing workforce training, accelerating depreciation for nuclear plants, and supporting research and development on spent fuel recycling to reduce nuclear waste.
Republican presidential hopeful Senator John McCain of Arizona said today that the only way to address the nation's energy needs is through an "all-of-the-above approach" that uses nuclear power, clean coal technology, and more offshore oil drilling.

"Anybody who says we can achieve energy independence without using and increasing these existing energy resources either doesn't have the experience to understand the challenge we face or isn't giving the American people some straight talk," McCain said.
Congress should return from summer recess to deal with the nation's energy crisis, said McCain, who offered to come off the campaign trail if Congress reconvenes.
Democratic presidential hopeful Senator Barack Obama of Illinois said today that he welcomes the New Era proposal, which he said avoids "partisan gridlock and special interest influence" and represents "a good faith effort at a new bipartisan beginning."
"Today's announcement includes many of the policies I've been fighting for during my time in the Senate and over the course of this campaign," Obama said. "It would repeal tax breaks for oil companies so that we can invest billions in fuel-efficient cars, help our automakers re-tool, and make a genuine commitment to renewable sources of energy like wind power, solar power, and the next generation of clean, affordable biofuels."
"Like all compromises, it also includes steps that I haven't always supported," said Obama. "I remain skeptical that new offshore drilling will bring down gas prices in the short-term or significantly reduce our oil dependence in the long-term, though I do welcome the establishment of a process that will allow us to make future drilling decisions based on science and fact."
Obama today introduced his own energy plan that would "require oil companies to take a reasonable share of their record-breaking windfall profits and use it to provide direct relief worth $500 for an individual and $1,000 for a married couple."

The rebates would be fully paid for with five years of a windfall profits tax on record oil company profits, he said.
To increase the U.S. gasoline supply and reduce prices that are hovering around $4 per gallon across the country, Obama proposed releasing light crude oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve now and replacing it later with heavier crude oil that he says is "more suited to our long-term needs."
Obama's plan would address global warming. "As a result of climate change," Obama said, "the polar ice caps are shrinking causing sea levels to rise; extreme weather is wreaking havoc across the globe; droughts are becoming more severe, tropical diseases are migrating north and numerous species are being threatened with extinction."
His plan includes an economy-wide cap-and-trade system to reduce carbon emissions by the amount scientists say is necessary: 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050.
Obama says he would invest $150 billion over 10 years to accelerate the commercialization of plug-in hybrids, promote development of commercial scale renewable energy, encourage energy efficiency, invest in low emissions coal plants, advance the next generation of biofuels and fuel infrastructure, and begin transition to a new digital electricity grid.
These investments will help the private sector create five million new green jobs, good jobs that cannot be outsourced, he said.
As part of that investment, Obama proposes a "Green Vet Initiative" to assist the more than 837,000 troops who served in Iraq or Afghanistan. It would offer counseling and job placement in the rapidly growing green economy and would work with industry to create career pathways and educational programs.
Obama's plan drew criticism from his opponent in the presidential race.
McCain said today, "Senator Obama has no plan to address the energy challenges we face as a nation. He has said no to offshore drilling, no to domestic drilling and no to nuclear energy. He has no plan to reduce our dependence on foreign oil."
Friends of the Earth Action president Brent Blackwelder said today the environmental group is disappointed that Obama would consider allowing more offshore drilling.
Blackwelder said his group prefers Obama's own energy plan to the New Era bill proposed by the Gang of Ten.
"The plan Senator Obama is announcing today is a much better approach. While not perfect, Senator Obama's proposal is a serious response to our nation's most pressing energy problems. It includes support for plug-in hybrid vehicles, a national renewable electricity standard, and a low carbon fuel standard, among other solutions. Senator Obama should focus on continuing to advocate real solutions and avoid yielding to oil companies and allowing more offshore drilling."
Other members of the Gang of 10 coalition are: Republicans John Thune of South Dakota, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Bob Corker of Tennessee, and Johnny Isakson of Georgia; and Democrats Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Mark Pryor of Arkansas, and Ben Nelson of Nebraska.

Wed Mar 07, 2012: i love the pendant. i edited the text though but the edited version did not appear on the final product. the black leather chain was too long for me. maybe an additional feature on your necklace chains could be that the client can choose the length and maybe you can just charge a basic amount for a certain length then add charges for any adjustments on the length? I was so looking forward to wearing the pendant with the black leather chain.
Reviewer: Jt B.

Israel, which has never been reticent about publicizing its rescue missions when disaster strikes in far-flung corners of the globe, is being unusually discreet about its aid to victims of the fighting in neighboring Syria.
For the past four months, doctors in the Jewish state have been quietly offering medical treatment to a small number of Syrians, even as the government and army push to limit the scope of Israeli assistance.
So far, Israeli doctors have treated about 100 Syrians, according to local press reports. Of those, 33 have been here in Ziv Hospital, which receives patients referred from a new army medical facility at the Syrian border, according to hospital director Oscar Embon. The army declined to respond to a query on how many people have been treated at its facility.
"This is a very cruel war," Dr. Embon says. "It is, however, a source of satisfaction and pride that we can realize the values of our profession to cross borders, be humanistic, treat those in need, and help others."
Given the magnitude of the tragedy next door, however, and its impact on neighboring Jordan, Turkey, and Lebanon, some here believe Israel is not doing enough to assist injured Syrians or offer refuge to the country's massive refugee population.
Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon has ruled out establishing refugee camps for Syrians, while a spokesman for the army would not say whether Israeli troops have turned away Syrian refugees.
''The instances when we provided [medical] care do not represent a policy choice to constantly provide aid, they were decisions made out of humanitarian considerations,'' the spokesman wrote in an e-mail.
More than 100,000 people have died in the 2-1/2-year-old conflict in Syria. Israel's stated policy is that it is not involved in the fighting between President Bashar Assad's regime and opposition forces. Still, it has conducted several airstrikes in Syria believed to target weaponry bound for the Lebanese group Hezbollah, which is fighting alongside the Syrian Army. The Syrian regime accuses Israel of siding with the rebels.
When Syrian patients first started coming to Ziv, they tended to be ''rebels who were involved in the war,'' Embon says. ''But now it's simple citizens. There are shellings of innocent civilians and a share of them seek care in Israel.''
Among the recent arrivals at Ziv was a 15-year-old boy who had been severely wounded by shrapnel while working on a tractor. He was brought by an army ambulance with a blood-stained referral note in Arabic summarizing his treatment in Syria. The youngest Syrian patient the hospital's doctors have treated so far was a nine-year-old who had lost his eye to shrapnel, who came with his lightly wounded father.
Amram Hadary, head of the hospital's trauma unit, said that in many instances, the Syrian patients do not know exactly what caused their injuries. ''We always try to understand the mechanism of trauma, whether the explosion was in an open space or a closed space, whether the penetration was a bullet or fragment of shrapnel," he says. "A large share of them don't know exactly what harmed them. They say there was an explosion but they don't know what it was.''
Dr. Hadary says that his Israeli patients normally receive follow-up care in outpatient clinics and undergo a supervised rehabilitation process. In the case of the Syrians, however, they are sent back across the border without Israeli doctors having a clear picture of the medical options there.
''For one of the first Syrian wounded who was treated here, there was an issue of continuity of care,'' Hadary says. ''I asked him what follow-up he would have there. He told me his family is very poor and he doesn't know how he'll manage. We tried to keep him a few days longer so his well-being wouldn't be so dependent on others. But continuity of care is definitely a problem.''
A government official declined to respond when asked if patients were sent back rather than offered follow-up treatment out of concern Israel could become a magnet for refugees. But the official said that Israel's situation is different than that of Jordan, Turkey, and Lebanon – countries that have taken in hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees each – ''because there is a formal state of war between Israel and Syria.''
Political analyst Yossi Alpher says Israel deliberately limits its humanitarian assistance so as not to give the Assad regime more ammunition to accuse it of taking sides in the war.
''The idea is to do the minimum that human morality demands from us as neighbors but not to be seen as the medical corps of the rebels.'' he says.
But Alon Liel, an academic who is the former director-general of the Foreign Ministry, says that minimum is not enough.
"Israel can do more," he says. "We should announce that refugees who feel endangered are welcome, and allocate space for them in the Golan Heights. Syrian patients should be given the option that if they need further treatment they can come again. This is the minimum Israel should do."

Windjammer Cruising (Part 3)by Paul Motter, CruiseMates Editor | July 10, 2009
Since the demise of Windjammer Barefoot Cruises a gap for sailing adventure is slowly being filled by other companies.
Maine Windjammer Adventures Last, but certainly not least is a Windjammer company that has already been in business for several decades. They are based in the state of Maine and do all of their sailing in the rugged Northeast where whaling and fishing from windjammers were once rich pasttimes.
Maine Windjammer Adventures harkens the sailing days of old. With a fleet of two sailing vessels, the Grace Bailey and the Mercantile, Maine Windjammer Cruises operates the first and oldest fleet of historic vessels in America. The company was established in 1936, giving it a sailing legacy going back over 70 years. Their two sailing vessels were turn-of-the-century coastal cargo schooners that have since been lovingly restored and today are recognized as National Landmarks.
Windjammer Cruises of Maine offers a sailing experience unlike the other windjammer cruises and tends to get passengers from the large cruise ships more often. Like modern cruise vessels, a trip on the Grace Bailey or the Mercantile offers scrumptious meals, and while the accommodations are certainly comfortable, you won't find private balconies. Instead, you might have a porthole, and if you are really lucky you'll snag one of the cabins with a private "head," also known as a bathroom to lubbers.
On a Maine Windjammer sailing, guests become part of the family. They are encouraged to help operate the ship by raising and lowering the sails, helping to drop anchor and even to consult with the captain as to where they may go for the day.
These sailing vessels are smallish but bigger than the Caribbean vessels described above, each accommodates about 35 people maximum. But their size is precisely the reason for their charm. Guests are on a first name basis by the end of the first day onboard. Meals are cooked on a wood stove and served "family style," and passengers enjoy breaking bread together and sharing their travel experiences.
Windjammer cruises hug the shoreline and the beautiful scenery passing by at any given time of the day takes the place of what passes as passenger entertainment on the large cruise vessels. Passengers have an opportunity to venture on shore daily, and each evening the ship drops anchor somewhere and passengers are again free to venture on shore, which they often do in a group.
Windjammer Cruises of Maine offers four separate cruising itineraries each week. These could span anywhere from three to seven days. A special "weekend getaway" sailing is offered throughout the summer months, and this itinerary is particularly popular with people who are long on their desire for adventure, but short on time. The sailing departs on Fridays at around 2:00 p.m., and returns on Sunday morning. A Lobster Feast onboard is also included on all of these sailings.
All of the line's sailings cover the same basic region -- up and down the picturesque coast of Maine, the specific locales sailed on any given day will often be determined by the wind and by the currents.
Prices are amazingly affordable and Maine Windjammer Cruises offers several "specials" to entice even the most budget strapped to try an authentic sailing adventure. Preseason and fall cruises are offered in all lengths at a discount. Special six-day discounted cruises are offered in the preseason, as are a special collection of "fall foliage" sailings. Singles, too, have cost-effective options with Windjammer Cruises of Maine. They can pay the double occupancy rate and be paired with another single of like gender, or they can opt for one of the limited single occupancy cabins available on these sailing vessels.
Most cabins do not have private baths, but rather heads and showers are located below deck for all to use.
The minimum age for a Maine Windjammer cruise is 16, however some exceptions will be made for younger teenagers as long as they are closely supervised by a parent or guardian. Children under 12, however, are not permitted unless on a voyage being operated as a full ship charter.
Prices start at a very reasonable $645 for a three-day cruise and $745 for a four-day itinerary. Five-day sailings start at $845, and special three-day "weekend getaway" sailings are priced at $545. Of course, all prices are based on double occupancy, though there are special single rates available.
Maine Windjammer Cruises pride themselves on offering their customers a genuine traditional sailing experience that simply cannot be had on other cruise lines. While they don't even attempt to compete with the larger cruise lines, what they do offer is an experience that is entirely different and most definitely unique. So the next time you are hankering for something new and different in a cruise experience, consider Maine Windjammer Cruises. While you won't receive the pampering that you may be used to on the more traditional lines, you will definitely have an enriching and maybe even life-altering experience as you discover what sailing was truly like in the years of old.

Curtis Hascall
Curtis Hascall was introduced to Shale Oak Winery while working for Kevin Patrick Riley. He was impressed with the project, and found owner Al Good's values and sustainable vision to be completely in line with his own. The transition to becoming Shale Oak's winemaker was a natural one, as Curtis has had a hand every vintage since the first in 2008.
Born in Watford, England, Curtis intended on becoming a master beer brewer when he grew up. He moved from the San Francisco Bay area to San Luis Obispo where he became a food-science graduate of Cal Poly State University. His focus on making beer took a turn, however, when a friend hired him to drag hoses in the cellar at Norman Vineyards in Paso Robles. After working there for a few years, he took advantage of an opportunity to work a harvest at Cumulus Winery in Orange, Australia. He would have considered staying longer than the one vintage, but he found the beer in Australia to be too expensive and to frankly not taste that great!
Curtis is now happy to be making wine back in Paso Robles; beautiful wine country where better, more affordable beer is readily available.
Kevin Patrick Riley
Kevin Riley is a well-knownand experienced Paso Robles winemaker, who not only consults for a handful of local wineries, but has his own wine brand as well. He met Shale Oak owner Al Good when Al first came to the area. Their shared vision of making high quality Paso Robles wine in the most sustainable manner possible made them fast allies. Kevin was instrumental in helping Al put together an entire team of knowledgeable professionals, ultimately bringing the concept to reality.
An east coast transplant, Kevin grew up in Connecticut where he worked for years alongside his father and grandfather at their Greens Farm Spirit Shop. As they were the most successful wine retailer in the area, Kevin was exposed to many wines both domestic and imported. He became enthralled with the industry, and took full advantage of the opportunity, continually asking questions of visiting winemakers and learning all he could about every aspect. He learned about AVAs, varietals, winemaking techniques, vineyard practices, even label design and how to market a wine brand. But what intrigued him the most was the fact that it was obviously possible to make a great wine with little impact on the environment, and was surprised that not many wineries were paying attention to their carbon footprint. Kevin has always led his life in an authentic sustainable manner, in both the business and environmental realms, as taught by his grandfather. As his career path was beginning to crystallize, he recognized that he could fold his lifestyle into the wine business and be wholly satisfied.
Less than two months out of high school, Kevin's father sent him to California to learn more about wine. He made his way to the Central Coast where he trained at several wineries, both small and large, while earning a degree in Agricultural Business with a minor in Viticulture at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. He knew wineries in Paso Robles were beginning to make great quality wines from their local vineyards, and that the region was on the cusp of making a true mark on the wine world map. He wanted to be a part of it, and between making Shale Oak wines, his own, and consulting for a few other clients, he is happy to say today that he is right in the middle of it.
Kevin lives on a nine-acre ranch in Paso Robles wine country with his wife, three kids, a yellow lab, three cats, and an unknown number of wild turkeys.

If it's tough love Lindsay Lohan needs, she isn't likely to get it from her mom.
Dina Lohan appeared on "Today" with Matt Lauer where she blasted the judge who sent LiLo to jail and rehab, insisted her daughter's problems are largely created by the media and vowed to bring her back to New York, away from California's court system. She also said she would fight to get the troubled former child star out of rehab early, insisting that she doesn't have a serious problem.
"She was in [jail] for just missing a couple of classes that she made up and she was working at the time," Dina Lohan said, appearing testy and defensive under Lauer's gentle but probing questions. "The judge went overboard and put her in serious lockdown for two weeks with murderers."
She said her daughter didn't deserve jail, and noted that the underlying offense is a 2007 DUI, for which Dina Lohan said she voluntarily sent her daughter to rehab. The case has been kept alive by LiLo's repeated parole violations and failure to complete alcohol classes on the court-ordered schedule.
Dina Lohan seized on the fact that LA Judge Marsha Revel has removed herself from the case after a prosecutor complained she improperly contacted experts or participants in the case privately, including a rehabilitation facility.
"It's a really serious offense for a judge," Dina Lohan said.
The star's mom said with Judge Revel's exit from the case, the LiLo legal team will move to curtail the 90-day rehabilitation Lohan is currently undergoing.
"It will be," she said when Lauer asked her if the term will be shortened. "I'm not gonna speak for the attorneys. Soon."
And when she does get finished with rehab, she won't be hanging out in Hollywood, Dina Lohan said.
"She'll be coming back to New York," she said. "California's a wonderful state, but it's a different game you play there. It's a different court system."
Much of her daughter's problems are "all propaganda," she said. "A lot of it is pre-orchestrated and you're reading things that aren't facts."

Nationals lure Gnome of Defeat away from vacation
The Nationals? Really?
My buddy Will thinks the Mets season started spiraling out of control when we saw them lose the awful Cubs at Wrigley just before the All-Star Game. The team hasn't been the same since.
This may be linked to depression over David Wright and R.A. Dickey getting hosed in Kansas City by Tony La Russa or the return of Jason Bay, I'm not sure.
But the team has been stink-o ever since.
Sunday offered a chance to win a series. But we knew that was unlikely with Jeremy Hefner on the bump. Not that Hefner has been all that bad, but he hasn't been that good, either.
And when the other team scores more than two runs, the Gnome of Defeat starts getting ready.
So here's the Gnome enjoying a day at the beach.

We are an energetic, creative small business doing software consulting in the electronic content management field. Our team works hard to design, implement and support out of the box and custom software solutions for our clients. Mainly, we help them get their paper records scanned in and stored on the computer to improve security, efficiency and access issues. Our business values thinking outside the box, finding solutions and answers, building strong client relationships, and making software approachable and usable. We are involved in helping clients go paperless.
We're coming up on our 10 year anniversary (Yeah! Made it through the recession!) and now that we've been around awhile, we are investing more into our marketing and image. We got a shiny new logo and color palette to celebrate the occasion and now we'd like to give people the opportunity to traipse around town proudly displaying it.
Our solutions make our clients sigh with relief, but our t-shirts make them fall asleep. We could really use some help bringing our company's creative spirit into a t-shirt design.
We'd like our t-shirts to appeal to our employees, clients and other general fans. This means, adult men and women, who can be anything from a government employee to a financial planner. They could range in age from early 20's and up.
We'd like them to be able to wear it to work, so nothing crude or offensive.
We're looking for a cool graphic and/or witty illustration. It could be a design based around a funny saying or mostly an abstract design. We really want it to have strong design, not just be funny/interesting text on a shirt.
We'd like our logo to be incorporated somehow into the design, but not be super prominent.
We want it to be a shirt that people will wear because it's cool or the design is a conversation-starter, not because they need another boring free t-shirt to throw on to mow the lawn.

By Nabeel Al Mulhem
Syria has pledged full support of UN secretary general's report on Israel's withdrawal from south Lebanon, without demanding a pullout from the disputed Shabaa hamlets, UN envoy Terje Roed-Larsen said in Damascus Wednesday.
The envoy said at a short presser following a two-hour meeting with Syrian foreign minister Frouq Shara that he came out of the minister's office "after a cordial and warm meeting where all the issues were discussed vis-à-vis, including that of Shabaa farms."
The envoy did not elaborate on the other issues, but said Syria and the United Nations were "in full agreement on every matter" of the withdrawal and told reporters that Syria did not demand that Israel pull out of the Shabaa hamlets.
Syria had earlier backed Lebanon in its demand that the Shabaa farms -- in an area between the Syrian, Lebanese and Israeli borders -- belonged to Lebanon and that Israel's May 24 withdrawal from south Lebanon was incomplete.
In reply to a question on Lebanese-Israeli borders demarcation, Roed-Larsen asserted that the Syrians agree to UN secretary general Kofi Annan's report on that issue, adding that cartographers and experts from Lebanon and the UN are now finishing up with the process.
Roed-Larsen, who went to Damascus for the day and was due in Beirut later Wednesday, was quoted by AFP as saying he would travel to meet the cartographers studying the borderline from northern Israel Thursday – Damascus, Albawaba.com
