Raccoon Elimination
Information can be viewed at http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/PESTNOTES/pn74116.html for biology, feeding habits, what their feces looks like, footprints, etc.
Most people hear possible raccoons in the attic or chimney and place a call to have them removed. If no visual sightings have occurred, sometimes all that's left behind are the feces, fur or footprints. If you don't know what you're looking at call a licensed trapper.
Our job is to locate entry points, also the potential entry points, check the chimney, outside trash areas, etc. As trappers, we establish if we need to trap or can a condition be changed to stop promoting the activity. Can we use one way doors effectively to let the animal leave on its own and then seal the area off? It may be baby time and one way doors are not a proper method. Can they be trapped on the property and then have all the entry points sealed off and released on the property. No raccoon is allowed to be released off the property where it was originally trapped per CT State law. A good NWCO trapper will give you all of the options.

"Low right now" can change on a dime.
Balance is the name of the game.
You decide to work less now and when life turns around and bites you "you know where" you won't have much time to enjoy all of the above ~~ you will be too preoccupied, too snowed under, to enjoy those things. You will ask yourself: "Why, oh why, didn't I learn the lesson which the squirrels try to teach me.
Observe the squirrels!!!!!!!!
Try for a happy medium.
Swim somewhere between the stoic and the epicurean.

Pointless money vs time. Time wins everytime, it's precious..
I am also financially secure for life and currently maintain low living costs...
exercising, reading books, watching movies, playing world of warcraft with aaron, and painting is way more important....

If you're a simple organism, with few needs, then yes.
However, if you're a complex organism, with great number of needs, then no.
Working less won't resolve much, indeed it's only going to reduce unnecessary build up of energy and subsequent need to release it, because it will bring to your attention other needs and make you depressed once you understand that we are living in the age of decadence and that these needs will most likely never be met.
This is why I say . . . keep working.
I say this to people who want to run away and hide from reality.
The more you work, the less you see, the less you worry.
It's a well known fact . . . people would rather harm themselves than listen to their thoughts.
There are simpletons everywhere who do nothing but work.
It's all work for them.
Nothing else.
I'm pretty resourceful, I think I'll be able to handle whatever comes up.
I'm a minimalist, I can get by with very little.
Maybe when I'm in my late 30s or early 40s I'll think about my financial future more, right now I've got other priorities.

Quote from: Coolio! on February 25, 2012, 08:42:17 PMBut it says it's a new series.What do u mean?
But it says it's a new series.
Survivors 25th and 26th seasons will be filmed earlier than usual and start production soon, with crew members heading to the location this weekend. And while theres been rampant speculation about what exactly these seasons will consist of, and how returning cast members will be included, theres very little concrete information except that the show will be filmed in the Philippines, specifically in a place known as CamSur.News that the show would film in Caramoan, in the Camarines Sur province, has been coming from the islands, particularly over the past month. In January, a regional newspaper reported that Survivor USA shoot will be the thirteenth season series of the globally broadcast reality show to film there, and in mid-January, personnel of the Provincial Capitol trooped to Gota Village Resort to attend to and oversee requirements at the facility in terms of personnel, housekeeping and logistical requirements in order to be ready for the coming of Survivor USAs cast and crew. Another report mentioned that a U.S. television series would film for four months, following production on the next Bourne film there.More recent confirmation comes from a kayaking company and inn, which says on its web site that Matukad island will be closed during March as production team of USA is now in Caramoan preaparing for the Survivor show!, while a tour company advertised its experience on Facebook by saying Survivor USA is setting up now at CARAMOAN, shooting will start by March
get the chance to have a glimpse of it.That the show would be filmed in Caramoan, in the Camarines Sur province, was reported two years ago, when a government official revealed that in a newspaper reportalthough the paper reported it in an odd way, saying that CBS version would also be filmed here next year until 2012. That, of course, wasnt true, and the until 2012 made little sense; its likely there were discussions back then, perhaps even with SEG tentatively reserving filming slots for 2012.
7107 islands! I hope this opens up increase tourism for a beautiful place like Philippines! <3
^ Its 2 seasons.http://survivorskills.com/forum/index.php?topic=8039.0Basically saying that it might be All Stars, but less memorable(I think they pull that card every time an All Star is spec'd lol, though since UB aired I think its possible)Bring back Parvati
DEF returning Teams. But more of a second chances/Unfinished Business I think. Survivors who either got screwed badly or screwed themselves badly. NOT a classic AllStars.

Over the years, Jaguar has built their legacy by producing more exciting front-engine sports cars than almost any other manufacturer. By combining unmistakable proportions with high performance engineering they have created unique sports cars that come with a uniquely British feel. From Dec. 7-Feb. 16, the Petersen Automotive Museum will be paying tribute to this legacy by showcasing five of Jaguar's most iconic vehicles.
These five vehicles are:
Mel Torme's 1937 SS100: Named for its then remarkable top speed of 100 miles per hour this is considered one of the most aesthetically beautiful Jaguar cars and is also one of the rarest with less than 350 produced.
A 1949 XK120: Named for its top speed of 120 miles per hour, which made it the fastest regular production car at the time, this specific car was the one driven by Emma Stone in the 2013 movie, Gangster Squad.
A 1956 Jaguar XKSS: Derived from Jaguar's LeMans-winning D-Type racing, this is one of the rarest road-going production Jaguar cars ever made with only 16 produced. This particular XKSS was owned by iconic actor, Steve McQueen.
A 1965 E-Type: Also known as the "XK-E" the E-type is widely considered by both enthusiasts and designers as one of the most beautiful cars ever built and 1966 become the second car added to the Museum of Modern Art in New York's permanent collection. This specific E-Type was driven by Don Draper, Jon Hamm's character in the television series Mad Men.
2014 F-Type V8 S: Jaguar's all new roadster the new F-type has been designed to embody Jaguar's latest engineering, performance and luxury features.

February 2014, Algiers, People's and Democratic Republic of Algeria. Within the framework of the three-year partnership between UNITAR and the Institute for Diplomacy and International Relations of the People's and Democratic Republic of Algeria; a preparatory seminar to the 25th session of the Human Rights Council was held at the of Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Algiers in February 2014.
Closing the second year of this rich cooperation, the seminar provided a wealth of resources to the members of the Algerian delegation participating in the 25th session of the Human Rights Council taking place in Geneva, following the objective of strengthening the impact of the People's and Democratic Republic of Algeria in the negotiations that will take place as of next March.
Sixteen diplomats gathered in the premises of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Algiers to attend this three-day seminar facilitated by high-level speakers and training experts, from the United Nations diplomatic realm. Focused on enhancing the Algerian delegates' presence in the Human Rights Council through pragmatic as well as theoretical experience sharing, this seminar facilitated for the participants to strengthen their knowledge of the mechanism of international human rights protection while exercising skills pivotal for effective participation in this forum.
The first day was facilitated by Mr. Fatsah Ouguergouz, judge and former Vice- President of the African Court of Human and Peoples' Rights. During this session, participants gained an in-depth overview of the international system of human rights protection, with a particular focus on the role of the Human Rights Council within this architecture.
The days that followed where were led by Mr. Philip Tissot, a former British diplomat who served for nearly 35 years in bilateral and multilateral grounds. Explaining the mechanics of the Human Rights Council, Mr. Philip Tissot, covered topics ranging from the rules of procedure and their strategic use in such a grand multilateral setting to the decision-making process within the context of the Human Rights Council, insisting particularly on the drafting and the negotiation of resolutions.
Members of the Algerian delegation provided remarkably positive comments at the end of the training session, stressing the high degree of the training quality and the trainers' approach to knowledge and skills transfer. The participants exhibited confidence in their ability to use the lessons learned during this seminar in the context of their mandate; an objective that lies at the heart of UNITAR and IDRI partnership.

Patricia Lucille Wessman was born on March 13, 1957. She was a cute, chubby-cheeked child, the sixth of eight children born to John and Beverly Glade Wessman the year they moved from the Rose Park neighborhood of Salt Lake City to a new home in the Sugar House neighborhood.
March 13, 1957, our sixth child was born. A beautiful little girl. After four boys we were thrilled for a change, especially [oldest child] Ann. Our small house in Rose Park seemed to burst at the seams. It was a four room home. John had built two bedrooms in the basement. We needed a bathroom which was a major expense. It was logical to me that this would be a good time to move as I wanted the children to go to school on the east side of town....Patty was a good baby but I tried to nurse her and supplement the feedings. She did not get enough. She seemed hard to feed but I worked at it. At three months she had Roseola. I gave up nursing her. She gained barely enough to be within normal bounds. She wasn't thin or malnourished... (From an interview with Beverly's granddaughter Eliza.)
Two months after the Wessmans moved to their new home at 1839 Bryan Avenue, Patty became very ill and Beverly took her to the doctor. The doctor's first diagnosis was influenza, but Patty was very sick. She was taken to the hospital where she died on October 20, 1957.
Since this week is the 55th anniversary of Patty's death, this week will include a series of posts about her, concluding on October 20.

On Saturday May 24th the American Red Cross launches its "100 Days of Summer. 100 Days of Hope" blood donation campaign.The donation drive ends on September 1st.
During the summer fewer people donate blood and this can cause blood shortages. According to WIVB, "about two fewer donors give blood at each Red Cross blood drive than what patients need."
According to the Red Cross, "1 pint of blood can save up to 3 lives."
The following infographic shows that one person injured seriously in a car wreck, may need 100 pints of blood.
Are you a blood donor? Maybe it is a good time to start.

In 1990 Michael van Straten and Barbara Griggs authored the book Superfoods which popularized the idea of preventing cancer and other ailments with nutrition by eating specific fruits, vegetables and seeds.
The superfoods have their supporters and critics. In The Daily Beast article "The Dangers of Superfoods", The Paleo Diet author Dr. Loren Cordain warns people to avoid some superfoods. Vogue Magazine quotes Cordain saying, "Goji berries are one of the most concentrated sources of dietary saponins - a chemical compound that increases the potential for intestinal permeability [leaky gut]." Nutritionist Petronella Ravenshear warns that kale may "interfere with thyroid function" if eaten raw. FULL POST

According to a recent survey of workers, 89% admitted they waste time daily during work time. In 2013 Forbes Magazine reported, "Millennials waste about 2 hours per day—an entire 40 hours a month!"
Social media websites -- Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram -- are the most obvious culprits for workplace distraction. Other bad influences include March Madness and pornography. Forbes also reported, "Nielsen has found that 25 percent of working adults admit to looking at pornography on a computer at work. And 70 percent of all online pornography access occurs between 9 AM and 5 PM."
This infographic reports the least productive workday is Friday and the hours of 3-5 pm are the most wasteful. Besides the internet, meetings and interacting with other employees are other major forms of workplace time wasting. FULL POST

In Israel people often greet each other with the word "shalom" which means peace. Jesus used this word in speaking to his disciples.
In John 20:21 KJV we read, "Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you."
The Complete Jewish Bible translates this verse as: "Shalom aleikhem!" Yeshua repeated. "Just as the Father sent me, I myself am also sending you."
According to Wikipedia, the phrase shalom aleikhem "is a Hebrew equivalent of 'hello.'"
This infographic lists 21 ways to say hello and may peace be unto you. FULL POST

One day Jesus asked his disciples, "Who do you say I am?" Peter responded, "You are the Messiah." - (Source: Mark 8:29)
The word "messiah" means "anointed one." Kings and prophets were anointed with oil. They were specially set apart for serving God. Jesus was set apart because he was without sin and could be the perfect sacrifice to take away our sin.
Hundreds of years before Jesus birth the prophet Isaiah gave us a list of names for Jesus, "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." - (Source: Isaiah 9:6)

While Congress has approved a minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, some states have established higher pay requirements. Politicians at the city, state and federal levels are attempting raise the minimum wage. President Obama has recommended an increase to $9.
According to The Boston Globe, "Twelve states and the District of Columbia will be considering minimum wage hikes this year through legislation or ballot initiatives."
Seattle's city council member Kshama Sawant is promoting a minimum wage of $15. Seattle TV station King 5 reports that Seattle's Mayor Ed Murray also supports this wage hike. Opposition to the measure also exists. Justin Boswell told the station, "It's going to shut the door of opportunity on so many people."
How does America's minimum wage compare to other countries? This infographic shows what the minimum wage is for various countries and how that compares to the purchasing power of Americans. Even though Australia's minimum wage is $16, this money equals $9.77 in American spending.

I'm a fan of chocolate and I'm not alone. Chocolate cake and Hershey Kisses don't last long if I'm around. Even Cookie Monster knows that chocolate chip cookies are a classic.
The way I see it: Why drink coffee when there is such an awesome thing as hot chocolate?
Sadly we don't read about people eating chocolate in the Bible because it was native to Latin America. Still chocolate played a role in the religion of the Aztec and Mayan tribes. The Field Museum reports these Indians used cacao seeds in their religious ceremonies.
Cocoa beans go through a long process before we eat the delicious chocolate. This video and infographic show how chocolate is processed. FULL POST

Loneliness is a growing problem in America and around the world. Scientists report that loneliness is deadlier than obesity. Technology is part of the problem. Through Facebook and cell phones more people are interacting with others through impersonal means. As the following infographic notes, "Experts say it's not the quantity of social relationships but the quality that really matters."
Last year the BBC reported that 48% of British adults were lonely. Mervyn Kohler told the BBC, "We find fairly horrifying the number of elderly people who feel the TV is their best friend."
LifeWay Research polled pastors with the statement: "Pastoral ministry makes me feel lonely at times." 15% responded with "strongly agree" and 40% with "somewhat disagree."

With the United States Supreme Court favoring gay marriage in California and a federal court ruling in favor of gay marriage in Utah, the gay marriage activists are likely to file more lawsuits challenging laws that ban gay marriage.
The following infographic provides shows where gay marriage is legal throughout the world. This is a recent development considering that 15 years ago there were no laws permitting gay marriage.

Brook Allen asks a very good question: "Will others benefit from your new year's resolution—or will it only be you?"
Helping others is one of the top ten resolutions listed in the following infographic. I've been thinking about how I can help others and came up with two tasks that I will attempt in 2014. Perhaps you can join me.

USTR Finally Realizing Its All Encompassing Secrecy May Be A Problem, Calls Frantic Meeting For All 'Cleared' Lobbyists
from the you're-doing-it-wrong dept
Given that, it appears that the USTR is in panic mode, and has frantically called an all day meeting for all "cleared advisors" (i.e., the corporate representatives who actually do get to see the document) concerning the whole transparency issue.
In an apparent effort to defuse mounting criticism that the Obama administration is being too secretive about the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative on short notice has called an all-day briefing for all cleared advisers on Feb. 11, according to sources familiar with a memo sent by USTR announcing the meeting.The only way they're going to defuse such criticism is to actually be transparent instead of secretive. Anyone taking bets on the likelihood of that happening?

Hey everyone.
In Australia, much as in the UK and USA, our politicians (either because they're religious or because they're pandering, like our atheist PM is prone to do) are fond of claiming our democratic secular nation is founded upon "Judeo-Christian" values - not the Enlightenment values of exploration, discovery, rational enquiry or the rule of law that arose & dominated the late 18th century, nor the openly imperialist values of England that set in motion the colonisation of Australia in the first place.
What I'd like to know is this: what exactly are the Judeo-Christian values we're told we all should be grateful for? If they're things like, democracy, fairness, equality and "do unto others", are these things meant to be impossible without worship of God? And why is it that many basic freedoms & civil rights - e.g. votes for indigenous people & women, decriminalisation of abortion & homosexuality - were vehemently opposed by the very religions that are now being credited for our freedoms?
Finally, as an aside, why are the only people who the phrase "Judeo-Christian" Christians?
If they seem like loaded questions; I must confess that's the truth. I don't for a moment think that Judaism or Christianity informed our current secular democracy anywhere near the extent claimed and I believe that religion has quite often been at the forefront of attempts to hold back all manner of social & political progess in this country - we need only look at the marriage equality debate which is transforming political discourse across Australia & the world.
I honestly would like to hear from someone knowledgable - or someone with a good guess - what precisely are these sacred "Judeo-Christian" values that allegedly underpin our country's values. Apart from the exhortations to be nice to others, which are no-brainers and not at all unique to Christianity or Judaism, the values I've found in the Bible & through my experience with Christianity seem more focused on believing & doing what's required to enter Heaven and not a great deal to do with treating all citizens equally regardless of gender or ethnicity or sexual persuasion - the kinds of things secular democracies like Australia are usually proud of.
So: what exact Judeo-Christian values should we Australians acknowledge as underpinning our secular democracy, and how are those values unattainable through any method or philosophy other than Judaism or Christianity?

This morning I made my way to the very pleasant Nana Bar (Rehov Ahad HaAm 1 and if you haven't been there, well worth visiting for lunch, dinner or just drinks) to a tasting of a dozen of the recently arrived wines of Francis Ford Coppola.
Francis Ford Coppola is probably best known and admired by many as the director, writer and producer of films such as The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, Patton, and The Rainmaker. Coppola is equally known to wine lovers, however, as the person who entered the wine industry with the idea of producing highly tannic wines, much in the tradition of Bordeaux, that could live for fifty or more years. The truth is that Coppola has yet to attain that goal, his first wines, released in the 1980's being so highly tannic and coarse what they were far from great. Those earlier days have been forgiven however, for Coppola, who purchased and revitalized the old Inglenook and Rubicon Estate wineries has for almost twenty years now produced Rubicon and that has become one of the most sought after wines in the United States, the wine often showing elegance, balance and sophisticated restraint. .
Rubicon may be Coppola's best and best known and most expensive wine but in the thirty years since he started his adventures on the wine road, his wine interests have expanded and he now produces well over 2.5 million bottles annually, those in series known as Rosso & Bianco and Diamond Collection. What the producers seem to have lost track of, perhaps in their efforts to please every level of wine drinker, is that there are now so many different labels in those series that consumers have become a bit confused. In the Diamond Collection series for examples there are varietal wines in red, yellow, black, gold, silver and platinum sub-series.
As will be seen in the following tasting notes of twelve of these wines to recently make their appearance locally, all imported by Y.D. Enterprises, Coppola's Rubicon and the Rubicon Cask wines remain of high interest and quality. As to others, those range in quality from merely acceptable to quite good. This is not the first time that Coppola's wines have been imported and now, as earlier, it remains difficult to understand why these wines cost nearly 100% more than they do in the USA.
The More Serious Wines
Francis Coppola, Claret, Diamond Collection, Black Label, California, 2006: In the beginning (let's say the 14-16th centuries), wines from Bordeaux were far lighter in both color and tannins than they are today and largely because of that the wines became known, especially in England,. as "clairet". Later, as Bordeaux became a wine force with which to be reckoned, the English kept the name, changing it somewhat to "claret" and even today tend to refer to all Bordeaux wines by that name. A true Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc (79%, 9%, 7%, 3% and 2% respectively) but no-one will ever take this for anything but a California wine. Whatever, medium- to full-bodied, with silky tannins and opening to show blackcurrant and blackberry fruits, those supported by notes of espresso coffee and Oriental spices. Drink now-2011. NIS 118. Score 87. (Tasted 24 Sep 2008)
Rubicon Estate, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cask, Rutherford, California, 2004: Made entirely from organically raised Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, developed in 500 liter American oak barrels for 28 months. Dark, almost inky garnet in color, opens with generous spicy wood and blackcurrants, those yielding in the glass to blackberries, purple plums and licorice and finally, on the long and mouth-filling finish fruits and tannins rising along with a generous note of vanilla. In regular format (i.e. 750 ml. bottles) best from 2009-2014. In magnum bottles (1.5 liter) best from 2013-2025. NIS 450 in regular format, NIS 1070 in magnums. Score 91. (Tasted in magnum and regular format bottles 24 Sep 2008)
Rubicon Estate, Rubicon, Napa, California, 2004: Deep garnet towards black in color, reflecting its 22 months in new French barriques with overtones of spices and vanilla, a blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2%Petite Verdot and 1% each of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Still in its infancy but already showing fine balance and structure. Opens slowly at this stage to reveal blackcurrants and blackberry fruits, those on a background of anise, licorice and minted chocolate. A complex wine with a long and generous finish. NIS 750. Approachable now but best 2009-2020. Score 91. (Tasted 24 Sep 2008)
Not Quite as Serious
Francis Coppola, Cabernet Sauvignon, Diamond Collection, Ivory Label, California, 2006: Dark garnet in color, medium- to full-bodied, with soft, well integrated tannins and showing appealing blackcurrant, raspberry and cherry fruits on a background of Oriental spices. Drinking nicely now-2010. NIS 115. Score 87. (Tasted 24 Sep 2008)
Francis Coppola, Syrah-Shiraz, Green Label, Diamond Collection, California, 2006: An odd name for a wine considering that Syrah and Shiraz are simply different names for the same grapes and that the wine also includes 7% of Petite Sirah which is a completely different grape. Whatever, medium-bodied, smooth and round, showing appealing red and black berries and purple plums along with hints of chocolate and white pepper. Drink now-2009. NIS 103. Score 86. (Tasted 24 Sep 2008)
Francis Coppola, Zinfandel, Red Label, Diamond Collection, California, 2006: Dark but dull garnet in color, with an appealing sweet berry nose and showing generous vanilla from its 14 months in French oak. Opens to show wild berry and red plum notes on a lightly spicy background. Drink now-2009. NIS 103. Score 85.
Francis Coppola, Chardonnay, Gold Label, Diamond Collection, California, 2007: Light gold in color, developed for 10 months in oak and then 10 months in stainless steel vats, showing tropical fruits, apples and melon notes along with a hint of vanilla that comes in on the finish. Drink now. NIS 96. Score 85. (Tasted 24 Sep 2008)
Francis Coppola, Sauvignon Blanc, Yellow Label, Diamond Collection, California, 2007: Light straw colored, light- to medium-bodied, an unoaked white with generous acidity and showing aromas and flavors of melon, and grapefruit and lemon rind. Not at all complex but easy to drink. Drink now. NIS 96. Score 84. (Tasted 24 Sep 2008)
Francis Coppola, Merlot, Blue Label, Diamond Collection, California, 2006: An oak-aged blend of 92% Merlot, 6% Petite Sirah and 2% Syrah. Medium-bodied, with chunky, country-style tannins and opening slowly to reveal blue- and blackberries, currants and notes of vanilla. Pleasant enough. Drink now. NIS 115. Score 84. (Tasted 24 Sep 2008)
Francis CoppolaRosso & Bianco, Rosso, California, 2006: Garnet red, medium-bodied, with soft tannins a blend of Zinfandel Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon (48%, 27% and 25% respectively). Shows an easy to take berry-cherry personality. Not at all complex but a simple quaffer or good entry-level red. Drink now. NIS 70. Score 84. (Tasted 24 Sep 2008)
Francis Coppola, Rosso & Bianco, Bianco, California, 2007: The color of light straw with a green tint, an unoaked blend of 89% Pinot Grigio, 6% Sauvignon Blanc and 5% Chardonnay. On the nose and palate tropical and summer fruits along with a hint of pink grapefruit. As it is intended to be, a simple but pleasant little wine for everyday drinking. Drink now. NIS 70. Score 83. (Tasted 24 Sep 2008)
Francis Coppola, Pinot Noir, Silver Label, Diamond Collection, California, 2006: Pale, almost washed out ruby in color, a light- to medium-bodied wine that shows no reflection at all of the 12 months in spent in oak. A few red berry and cherry fruits here but beyond that a rather banal little wine. Drink up. NIS 126. Score 78. (Tasted twice with consistent notes 24 Sep 2008)

Here's a link to where this came from: www.centenarylex.org/2cents/JesusFreaks.html
Jesus Freaks
Today is March 16, 2001, and Ted Turner is in the news again, and again because of his inappropriate comments. According to television news agencies Turner insulted some of his own employees by referring to them as "Jesus freaks," apparently because they had ashes on their foreheads (following an Ash Wednesday service). One reporter said Turner also said, on this or another time, that religion is for "losers." Minnesota governor Jessie Venture said much the same thing last year, for which he apologized. I suppose Ted made some Christians see red but I thought, "Hey, this man knows his Christian theology (whether he actually knows it or not)." If not religion, certainly Christianity is for losers. Good for you, Ted!
I'm not ready to give Turner the "Theologian of the Year" award because I'm not sure at this point he appreciates the significance of his statement. But, as you know, out of the mouth of babes . I think if Ted and St. Paul were having a coke and comparing notes, both would shake hands and smile on this issue, even if for different reasons. Religion is precisely for losers, that is, losers who know it and own up to it.
Do you remember that socially up-setting parable Jesus told about the two men in the temple? (Luke 18:9-14) Two men went into the temple to pray. One was a respected, honored, and self-righteous Pharisee. The other was a socially despised, disrespected, and shamed tax collector. The Pharisee bragged about his righteous acts to God and even compared himself to the tax collector. "This tax collector," he said with a sneer, "is a loser!" The crowd cheered (a little Mercerism here). The tax collector didn't respond. He just beat his chest, hung his head, and said, "God, please me merciful to me, for I am a loser." Jesus said, "Guess which man God heard with favor?" You're right, the loser. Actually the loser was the winner and the supposed winner was the real loser. That is the way things are in the kingdom of God. Those who admit their need of God and turn to God receive God's mercy. Those who think they are heads and shoulders above others, and that they have the right to judge others, well, all they get is the little they have. And when they stand before God ...
You see, we all need God and we all need one another. Maybe Ted would think the same way if he dug ditches for a living, rather than managing empires. I don't know. Its not mine to say. I do know that whether we accept the reality of God or not we are all losers. A great scientist has a great mind, but his wonderful mind is trapped in a dying body. Maybe it gives some people a fleeting sense of triumph to thumb their noses at God until their last breath. That, though, is a losing proposition. I am not concerned here with philanthropy, because we all know Ted Turner is a great philanthropist. I am thinking about the very reality that seems to cause Ted problems: God. I do not know if Ted is upset at organized religion or at the thought of being religious or because his sister died and that caused him great sorrow (as it should).
I apologize, Ted, if I have misread you. Maybe deep down you realize you too are a loser in the gospel sense. Then you and, maybe me too, will receive mercy.

I am 97 years old living with my children in a two-story home and obviously I need to have some kind of protection device. For my last birthday I was given a " myHalo Monitoring Device".
I was told that this was far a far superior device compared to the pendant I have been using for years. The pendant would be of no use if I were to become unconscious, or be unable, or unwilling to press the pendant's button. Even with this knowledge, I was uncomfortable with the thought of a new device, one that I was sure would be uncomfortable as the best monitoring is done with a strap that would be over my chest. I was sure that I would need to change to the belt model that is also available. However I was motivated to try it out because in addition to being a kind of alarm device, it is also a monitor.
Finally the big day arrived when the device was going to be set up.
All instructions on what to do, how to connect, and so on, were conveyed over the phone in a thorough, pleasant manner.
Both my daughter and I didn't think I would like it because of the strap but we were surprised when I said, "I'm not even aware it's on." That very evening we went to a gathering. It was so comfortable that neither I nor anyone else was aware that I was wearing it, and I was amazed that I was able to comfortably sleep with m yHalo in place!
The only improvement I would appreciate, is something to bridge the gap during the daily one-hour recharge process. I continue to be comfortable and delighted. I look forward to enjoying the comfort and security this device provides me.
Chris Otto, CEO of Halo Monitoring. Says "myHalo allows seniors to preserve their independence and live at home where it's comfortable and familiar by assuring help will be called automatically if they fall, there's no need to push a button," "While myHalo is not a substitute for professional care, there are many situations where seniors are unnecessarily admitted to skilled nursing facilities as a result of fall risks. myHalo can deter or avoid these admissions and extend the seniors stay at home." " myHalo provides families peace of mind knowing help is always available for an elderly loved one no matter how far away they live," adds DuBois. Falls are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries for seniors. Through the use of a small, comfortable, wearable, wireless device, the advanced myHalo system sends an automatic alert in the event of a fall. myHalo is also the first system of its kind that monitors heart rate and temperature allowing family members or designated caregivers, using a secure website, the ability to check on an elderly loved ones' situation without invading a senior's privacy.
In addition, Halo Monitoring's products assure security for seniors and peace of mind for their caregivers. The advanced myHalo system is the first medical alarm that sends an automatic alert- no need to push a button- in the event of a fall. While most medical alarms are only able to react to an emergency, myHalo is the first system of its kind to provide 24/7 activity and health monitoring. Seniors get proactive care when they need it, while remaining independent. Website: http://www.halomonitoring.com/
Why myHalo?
o 40% of all people over 65 will fall this year.
o Falls are the #1 cause of death among those over 65.
o If someone over 65 falls, the first four hours are the most critical. Serious consequences such as dehydration and pressure sores can occur over a short period of time.
o 4 out of 5 people who use a traditional manual medial alarm with a panic button are unable to push the button after a fall.
o Manual medical alarms do not provide the necessary protection in the event of a fall.
Automatic Fall Detection
How does myHalo work?
1. Following a fall, myHalo's automatic fall detection immediately alerts the emergency response team and caregiver.
2. Caregivers will be notified via text, email or a call from myHalo's 24/7 professional call center, according to the caregiver's preference.
3. If the fall is serious, an emergency team is sent to the fall site to immediately administer support.

Self Portrait Assignment
The Art of Constructing a Self-Portrait
A self-portrait comes from within. Injecting 'those we love' into the portrait steers one away from the harder task to trying to reveal self without adornment.
If you eat, sleep, and live for speed then your self-portrait should reflect motion and movement as one of its cornerstones.
If you are a reflective type, then reflections and patterns and their intersections should occupy a primary space.
If overall you feel more flawed then whole, then you wouldn't want to go about photographing the most pristine parts of yourself; you would want, instead, to capture your essence in a manner that describes and defines you without complaining. I say that because the essence of self-discovery requires you to be a benign observer of self so as not to hone in too closely on this or that part.
A sense of 'wholeness' is difficult to capture at best. Indeed, wholeness is almost impossible for some people to even understand -- let alone capture in themselves -- because their persons and their lives are so fragmented, so disorganized in general.
But that is what self-portraiture is all about, capturing the whole -- the whole of who you are as a person.
Try to be unforgiving in a benign and neutral way. Study yourself in the mirror and paint what you see there. Then go inside yourself and paint what you see there.
You will shoot four different self-portraits over the next week. You need to pick four photo types from the following five categories.
1. A self-portrait where color is emphasized. Color may include wardrobe, location, props, or natural objects. Think of your picture as a one or two color concept picture.
2. A picture that emphasizes lighting and shadows. This will be a greyscale self-portrait.
3. A self-portrait that showcases your interests and hobbies. In this picture we learn what you like to do away from school. Think about what interests you and transfer that into a photo.
4. A fantasy self-portrait. Dress up and use costumes. In this self-portrait you can use Photoshop to enhance your picture in any way, shape, or form. Transfer yourself to Hawaii or become a Viking like you have always wanted.
5. The Supermodel self-portrait. Dress up like a GQ or Cosmopolitan magazine model. This can be a grayscale or color picture. You will use Photoshop to airbrush and enhance this photo.
First of all, I want you to look at the photos on the following websites for self-portrait ideas and then answer the following questions. Please use text edit, Abi Word, or Word and drop the answers into the proper class folder.
Teaching Photo
Also, go to Getty Images and do a portraits search (self-portraits on getty show people taking pictures of themselves. We do not need to see the camera)
What four categories do you think you will pick? Why?
What are your interests and hobbies that you can showcase in your self-portrait?
What colors will be the best for you to work with for self-portrait where color is emphasized? What are your favorite colors?
Do you have any costumes or props you can use for the self-portraits?
Next, I want you to grab two separate sheets of paper and sketch two of your ideas for self-portraits. Include location, outfits, poses, costumes, and facial expressions etc. I realize that not everything is an amazing artist, but do your best.
Hints for self-portraits:
Use colors or lighting to create a concept.
Costumes or uniforms work great.
Change angles.
Use props.
Vary the lighting.
Try different emotional looks.
Pose in action.
Most importantly for this assignment don't forget your composition rules. Use framing, leading lines, rule of thirds, color contrast etc. to enhance your photo. Fill the frame.

NINETY-SIX YEARS ago — on Aug. 25, 1916 — Congress passed the National Park Service Organic Act. Largely in response to the Sierra Club's call for a single federal organization to manage the nation's parks and monuments, this remarkable piece of legislation attempted both to "conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects" of the parks and to "provide for the enjoyment of the same […] by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations."
With the funding cuts that national parks could soon face, however, posterity may no longer be able to count on the parks preserving the nation's fruited plains and purple mountain majesties. Although Congress hasn't yet agreed on a budget for the coming fiscal year, park officials told The Post's Juliet Eilperin that, if lawmakers can't decide by January, the Park Service could face a possible 8 percent decrease next year; the parks already have suffered significant cuts in recent years. The president's budget proposal for fiscal year 2013 would reduce the number of full-time employees and volunteers (who require some administrative funds), which would impede the agency's ability to maintain the land and monuments it protects.
In the midst of a budget crisis, this is a perfect example of what will happen if the question of entitlement spending is avoided. Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, absent reform, will consume an ever-larger portion of the budget, squeezing out everything else the government does, from national defense to national parks. That reality is sometimes disputed, sometimes acknowledged but in the abstract, removed from the programs and initiatives that are bound to suffer. They will suffer too if the nation refuses to levy sufficient revenue.
The National Park Service is one such program at risk. Its purpose is to preserve some of the most beautiful pieces of America's landscape and heritage for the enjoyment of all citizens — a public good in the truest sense of the phrase. If it's defunded, everyone loses, and it's only one of many organizations that could be at risk for cutbacks.

Insider steals data on 2 million Vodafone clients
BERLIN (AP) — Cellphone and broadband provider Vodafone Deutschland says it was the target of a large-scale data theft affecting the personal details of 2 million German customers.
Spokesman Alexander Leinhos says the attack was conducted by an unidentified IT systems administrator who worked for a company contracted by Vodafone.
Vodafone said in a statement Thursday that the stolen data included customers' names, addresses, date of birth and bank details.
Credit card information and passwords weren't stolen.
Vodafone said it regretted the incident and warned its customers to be on guard against unsolicited phone calls or emails from people seeking to exploit the stolen data.
The company has more than 32 million cellphone customers and more than 3 million broadband subscribers in Germany.
It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Vodafone Group Plc.
Separately, Canadian cellphone company Rogers Communications has announced it has hired Guy Laurence, the chief executive of Vodafone's U.K. division, as its new president and CEO.

[Illinois] Illinois Global Health Initiative - Dr. Ratzan Seminar
Licensed according to this deed.
Published on
The Global Health Initiative at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is a campus-wide coalition of students and faculty which aims to:
Coalesce a research community around global health issues on the Urbana-Champaign campus
Create capacity for future interdisciplinary research on global health issues
Promote first-hand exposure to global health issues for graduate students and faculty
Promote progress toward a Global Health Center on the Urbana-Champaign campus
The Initiative pursues these goals through programs that foster interdisciplinary discussion and awareness of global health issues. This includes seminars on campus delivered by global health experts in academia, industry and government. Additionally, we organized an international global health experience with 19 graduate students, MD/PhD students and faculty in January 2012 travelling to Cape Coast, Ghana to observe in health care facilities, discover public health challenges, learn about Ghanaian culture and network with Ghana's research universities. The Initiative strives toward establishing future programs which will provide more international exposure to students and faculty and new curricula in global health issues.

More Isiah Thomas comedy
And no, this isn't a fictional article, this is another chapter is Isiah's attempt to build the most toxic team in NBA history. Unfortunately, it was averted by the signing of Jared Jeffries.
Isiah had a deal in place to acquire Darius Miles
You can't make this **** up.

NBA's Biggest Cancers
1. Dennis Rodman
Rodman wormed his way through the NBA like an infectious virus.
He kicked a photographer. He head-butted a ref. He bickered with coaches. He took off his sneakers before a game was over. He was fined, and suspended, and while drawing attention to himself, drew energy away from his teams. His short-lived relationships with Madonna and Carmen Electra were just a few public examples of how he had trouble getting along with one other person, much less entire teams (which really includes coaches, the front office and fans). His Newport Beach escapades showed he didn't give a whit about being a good neighbor.
Few questioned Rodman's determination on the court. Because he was so good, and played on winning teams, he got lots of chances, and lots of special treatment. But when the going got tough (think Dallas, his last stop in the NBA), Rodman was of no use at all.
2. Isaiah Rider
Talk about trouble. He has been North (Minnesota). He has been South (Atlanta). He has been Northwest (Portland). He has been high (in Denver). He has been in sunny L.A., with the Lakers. A great talent, a 16.7 ppg scorer, wasted everywhere he went. The 2000-01 season, with L.A., provided a recent sampler of a 30-year-old who'd never grown up.
Things didn't start out well -- Shaq made it clear he wasn't happy that the Lakers had acquired Rider. Rider proved Shaq knew of what he spoke, continuing his old stuff. Lateness (showing up 15 minutes tardy for one practice, he gave Phil Jackson a note from a hotel manager, saying it was the hotel's fault for missing his wake-up call). A suspension for violating the NBA's drug policy. A missed flight. For nine NBA seasons, Rider proved again and again, with team after team, that he was nothing but a kindling of talent that could ignite a blaze of bad news.
3. Donald Sterling
This is a guy who proves the point that you can make millions in one business (real estate) and still be a complete dolt in another (running a sports team). His biggest celebrations as longtime owner of the hapless (yet, surprisingly enough, still "Big Market") Clippers have been his famous "lottery parties," during which he hoped that some second-rate Hollywood wish-we-were-insiders would drown out memories of the Clippers' most recent humiliating season with cheap wine served in plastic cups. This is a guy who once asked his head coach to tape the players, in order to save a few bucks on a trainer's salary. Who slashed his scouting budget, to save a few bucks. Who has shuffled through head coaches the way George Steinbrenner used to. And who has shown players (and fans) how much he cares by keeping his payroll among the lowest in the NBA.
And it ain't gonna stop. As an opposing scout was recently quoted in Sports Illustrated, "Owner Donald Sterling let another summer go by without locking any of his players into long-term deals. This is his one chance to have a really good team, and the fans are showing their support, yet he still refuses to put money into a club that is the envy of every other franchise in the league. ... If they were playing for just about any other owner, I'd say these guys (were) going to make the playoffs."
4.Latrell Sprewell
The "choking incident" might have been a mano-a-mano thing -- at least a few people sympathized with Latrell, saying that if any coach could inspire such wrath, it was then-Warriors head coach P.J. Carlesimo, who Seattle Times sportswriter Steve Kelley called, after the incident, a "fatuous fathead."
Spree and his behavioral demerits spend many a game in civilians.
When he arrived in New York, it seemed like Spree was a new man, with new maturity. And maybe he really would prove to be the Knicks savior. But no. He skipped training camp. He arrived late at games. He walked out of mandatory team meetings.
And on and on. Now, the hand jive, complete with banishment, fines, half- or un-truths, and a lawsuit that can be nothing but a distraction. For a while, it looked like the Knicks had a new, genuine leader, but Sprewell hasn't led the team anywhere, and clearly hurt his teammates by not revealing his hand injury right after it happened.
Lots of Knicks fans like Sprewell. Knicks fans also like winning. But you can't have both.
5. Marvin Barnes
Before he even got to the pros (Barnes played six seasons in the ABA and NBA), "Bad News" Barnes earned his nickname by beating a Providence College teammate with a tire iron. During his great rookie season with the Spirits of St. Louis, the former All-American left the team and then said he wanted to renegotiate his contract. Then he got into trouble with drugs. He got into trouble for carrying a concealed handgun. He got into trouble with alcohol. And on and on and on. He squandered his great talent, and became a hot potato, moving from the Spirits to the Pistons to the Buffalo Braves, ending his career, fittingly, with the last-place Celtics in 1978-79.
6. Roy Tarpley
Tarpley, the Mavs hugely-talented center, entered the NBA as part of the draft class of 1986, and is part of the reason that draft year is so often lamented. In 1991, he was banned from the NBA, for cocaine use, for almost three years, and the Mavs, one of the worst teams of the '90s, sank to their lowest depths without him. Then, less than a year after signing a six-year, $22 million contract and returning to the court, he was banned again in 1995 for drinking alcohol, which violated his aftercare agreement.
Even after his NBA career ended, being around Tarpley was bad news -- he was arrested on charges of burning his girlfriend's stomach with an iron, then he failed to show up for his court date. Perhaps he was in Greece, or Russia, or Poland, or China -- among the places he played while barred from the NBA. "He could have been one of the great ones, no question," said Richie Adubato, who coached Tarpley in Dallas.
7. Jason Williams
"White Chocolate" might be sweet sometimes, but he's not good for a team's health. With the Kings, he was suspended for violating the league's drug policy, he was fined for getting into it with fans, and he followed the John Rocker P.R. Handbook when he made derogatory comments about Asian-Americans and gays. Sacramento management was glad to see him go. With the Grizzlies, he's, well ... let him speak for himself. After an 8-for-23 night during which he was personally responsible for six turnovers (including a spectacular behind-the-back pass to Sonics coach Nate McMillan), he said, "We suck. We suck. We're the worst team in the league. You can print that." We did, Jason. Did it help your team?
8. Rasheed Wallace
Wallace's slew of technical fouls and Rage Against The Refs act is getting old.
There's nothing technical about the foul influence Wallace has had on the Blazers, who he has led to -- how many is that? -- zero championships, despite his great talent and the excellent players who've surrounded him. The Rage Against The Refs act is just old, and it doesn't work. Wallace's technical fouls disrupt the game, give easy points to opponents, and lead to self-inflicted early trips to the locker room. No matter how good you are, when you're not injured, and you're not playing, you're doing nothing but hurting your team.
9. Micheal Ray Richardson
Richardson, back in 1986, achieved the most dubious of NBA firsts, becoming the league's first player to be banned for drug use after he tested positive for cocaine for the third time. The All-Star guard had admitted he had a problem, had undergone multiple rehabs, but the drug use didn't stop.
Richardson played eight seasons in the NBA, bouncing around from the Knicks (where he was supposed to be the next Walt Frazier) to the Warriors to the Nets, and the four-time all star was the Nets' leading scorer when he was finally banned. "He'd play well, then 'go on three- or four-day binges,' (Richardson) said," wrote the Denver Post's John Henderson. "He missed flights. He missed games. The stats didn't show it, but insiders could tell."
The Hackensack (N.J.) Record named Richardson the "biggest waste" of the 1980s, and when Richardson finally recovered, he showed what he could do on the basketball court -- in Europe, where, post-NBA, he enjoyed a lengthy, successful career (well, if you don't count the time Knorr Bologna of the Italian League released him after he tested positive for cocaine).
10. Vin Baker
Before he was traded to the Celtics, here's the impact Baker had on Seattle last season: with him, the Sonics were 26-29. When he was out of the lineup, they were 23-4. Enough said? Maybe not. Here's what an NBA scout recently told SI about the Sonics going into this season, without Baker: "There was a bad aura around him that carried over to the other players, plus he demanded the ball and took a lot of time when he got it, which bogged down the offense."
And here's what ESPN.com's Frank Hughes wrote about Boston's acquisition of Baker: "It might look good for a month, it might look good for four months. But I know Vin Baker ... this is his modus operandi on a basketball court: Work really hard for a little while, because he wants to prove people wrong, and then when they are sold that he has changed, start slacking." Hughes' final words on Baker's four-year, $56 million deal: it's "going to cost the C's their soul."

Good for you! Wish you all the best, I live with RA and FM and have for years. I do what I can when I can and most times I pay for it but that's okay, I can't just sit and watch life go by.ReplyDelete
This made me laugh because I felt the same after doing the decking. However there ae some things I won't do and the ceiling would be one of them! I am looking fo something part time to fit in but it has to be very part time. People who don't suffer with arthritis just don't know what it feels like inside when all your bones and joints ae hurting. Lots of blessings and good luck with the cakes JoannaReplyDelete
You have a great attitude. Continue on the road you travel and allow no one to stop you or discourage you. I hope you're successful with your cake business! (I wish I lived there so I could try some of it! :-) )ReplyDelete
I can relate one hundred percent! See my post today about maintaining balance. It ain't easy. I'm like you, driven beyond what my body can support sometimes! ~ PeterReplyDelete

PABLO GORONDI, The Associated Press
BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Sandor Racz, a labor activist and leading figure during Hungary's anti-Soviet Revolution of 1956, died Tuesday at age 80.
The World Federation of Hungarians, of which Racz was honorary president, confirmed that he died while receiving treatment for an undisclosed illness at the National Institute of Oncology in Budapest.
The 1956 uprising broke out on Oct. 23 and was crushed by the Soviet army in early November. But as president of the Budapest central workers' council, Racz and other labor leaders pressed ahead with the objectives of the movement for several more weeks, negotiating with pro-Soviet Prime Minister Janos Kadar and top Soviet military officers.
"For me, the revolution was so unambiguous, that I could not even imagine a Hungarian who does not feel that the Hungarian people are 1,000 percent right when they want to free themselves from an unacceptable foreign, murderous and pillaging system," Racz wrote in memoirs published in 2005.
Even as the crackdown on those who took part in the revolution was under way — at least 225 people would be executed by 1958— the workers' councils held two nationwide strikes in November and December.
Racz, then a 23-year-old a tool maker at an electronics factory, was arrested on Dec. 11, 1956, after being lured to Parliament with the excuse of holding talks with Kadar, who ruled Hungary until a few years before the end of the communist regime in 1990. Racz was sentenced to life in prison in 1958 but released under a 1963 general amnesty.
After his release, he returned to work as a tool maker and participated in secret meetings with students, telling them about the events of 1956. He retired due to poor health in 1987 and spent the rest of his life keeping alive the memory of the 1956 events.
"The workers' councils were very important but they tend to be forgotten because most of the attention is given to the armed aspects of the revolution," said British writer Bob Dent, author of a book about the revolution. "The councils were unofficial trade unions representing workers during and after the uprising."
Racz was born on March 17, 1933 near the city of Hodmezovasarhely in southeast Hungary. He is survived by his wife, Aniko Damasdi, and two children.

Knife Blocks
An organized kitchen makes creating meals all the more enjoyable, especially when your cook's tools and cutlery are close at hand while cooking. If you prefer to keep your knives displayed on the countertop as opposed to an in-drawer knife compartment, a knife block is an efficient choice. Knife blocks always have slots for your most used knives, like chef's knives, slicers and paring knives, and larger blocks also accommodate bread knives, butcher knives and steak knives. We have a wide selection of wooden and stainless-steel knife blocks of various sizes for you to choose from – featuring just five slots to a generous 35.
All knife blocks have a slot for a honing steel, an instrument as essential as your knives, for regularly keeping knife blades at their top performance between sharpenings. Larger knife blocks also have a slot for kitchen shears, one of those essential kitchen tools that comes in handy in a wide variety of situations. A knife block with rubberized feet will protect your countertops as well as remain in a stable position as you take out and replace knives.
Knife blocks with horizontal slots are ideal for eliminating contact stress on your blades, keeping them sharp longer. If you do choose a knife block with vertical slots, however, you can get the same beneficial effect by storing your blades with their knife edges up so they are not coming in contact with the block's material. That's also why knife blocks are generally angled, keeping the knives from coming in contact with the knife block and preserving the edges of your blades.
Browse our selection of knife blocks with the exclusive Williams-Sonoma label. These blocks, both large and small, are made of solid maple wood or of walnut harvested from FSC-certified forests in the USA. Bamboo, acacia and cherry are other hardwood alternatives, along with designer knife blocks made of beech wood. This storage option is comprised of a crisscross top-loading pattern, allowing you to arrange knives of various sizes in any pattern you choose.
We also offer Shun knife blocks in sustainably harvested bamboo as well as cherry, both with a laminated coating for longevity. Shun also gives you the option of choosing modular knife blocks. Great for both left- and right-handed cooks, modular knife blocks allow you to arrange your knives in any order you like, changing the pattern whenever you want to. A stainless-steel option will give you a hygienic knife block that is easy to clean, and our magnetic knife block by Nesmuk affords you the convenience of a magnetic strip for your knives right on your countertop.
