On the name polls, I saw Molly Eliza, and I thought it was gorgeous! But the flow seems a bit off- the end of Molly and begining of Eliza seem to kinda mush :L
I've thought of Molly Claire too, but it doesn't seem to quite cut it. Along with some others I've found to kinda like, it seems to much like a "filler name".
Here's a list of names I've so far put together, I'm open to commentary, but I mainly want some other name suggestions, please! Here's what I've got:
~ Molly Eliza
~ Molly Claire
~ Molly Ophelia
~ Molly Hope
~ Molly Paige
~ Molly Arabella
~ Molly Annabel (too childish?)
~ Molly Olivia
~ Molly Alice
Thanks so much! ~Haddie

The hard thing with finding a middle name for Molly is how it almost sounds childish, so I'm hoping to have a middle name that doesn't make it sound to childish :L (I think someone here told me something like that before )
Thanks! ~Hadds

~ Molly Eliza - LOVE Eliza, but the flow is a bit off because Molly ends with an E sound and Eliza begins with an E sound.
~ Molly Claire - Claire sounds pretty, but it is a bit filler and I think you could do better.
~ Molly Ophelia - Ok, but I'm not a fan of Ophelia. Makes me think "Oh, feel ya" every time. Very unattractive.
~ Molly Hope - Hope is too filler, and I think 3 syllables would be best for Molly. Plus, I'm not fond of the virtue names.
~ Molly Paige - I like Paige, but again it is a bit filler an short. It is better than Hope, though.
~ Molly Arabella - I think this has the best flow of the bunch, but the two sets of 'll' make me not like the look.
~ Molly Annabel (too childish?) - No, not too childish. Just kind of eh. Very little spice to the name.
~ Molly Olivia - I think the L sounds are too close together.
~ Molly Alice - Ditto Molly Olivia, though the 3 syllables is better than two.
~ Molly Briar - Briar feels too masculine to me. If anything, I'd use Briar-Rose. Briar-Rose link
I would go for a longish name (6+ letters and 3+ syllables) with out any L sounds in the beginning.
Molly Séraphine - or you can use the Anglicized form, Sraphine.
Molly Cordelia
Molly Vivienne
Molly Rosalind
Molly Emmeline
Molly Victoria
Molly Johanna
Molly Adelaide - the L doesn't come until the 3rd syllable, so I think it is okay.
Molly Aurora
Molly Imogen - I'm suprised, but I actually like Imogen here.
Good luck.

Claire sounds pretty, but it is a bit filler and I think you could do better.
Hehe, that's what I'm trying for!
Hmm, the "Oh, feel ya" of Ophelia never really hit my mind
Does Molly Arabela look better?
Molly Briar Rose sounds really pretty, actually! It's added to my list
I like these from your suggestions:
Molly Vivienne
Molly Rosalind
Molly Emmeline
Molly Adelaide
Molly Aurora
Molly Imogen - I don't usually like Imogen either, but it does sound nice with Molly
Thanks so much! I think I also really like Molly Adelaide Not sure if it's perfect, let's see what stands the test of time!

Molly Briar-Rose ~ Normally, I don't approve of hyphens, but I used one here because without it the names look too similar in length to me. I like the sound okay, just not the look.
It seems you like quite a few of my suggestions, so I guess I'm on the right track with what you want? From the ones of mine that you like, I would go with Molly Imogen or Molly Adelaide. Both are very, very proper sounding names that ground Molly's somewhat childish vibe. Of course, I don't think Molly is childish in itself. The problem is that so many of the kiddie names that are short and end in -ly or -lie are getting butchered (like the -leigh ending. Yuck). Kylie comes to mind. Or Bryleigh, Marleigh or something.
Molly, on the other hand, is very mature. I think it is gorgeous, and, honestly (not to be rude), it is the first name that I like the best from the list in your signature.
Oops, typo in my previous post, I meant: "or you could use the Anglicized version, Seraphine."
Posted 15 September 2010 - 11:57 AM
Hmm, the look is odd. But I do like the sound a lot! Does it look lengthy, Molly Briar Rose? Though I've been looking at a lot of double middle names, so I don't notice lengthy as much lately! Haha!
Ick, I greatly dislike the -leigh endings! I do like Leigh, itself. Being Brynleigh bothers me so much!
But your on the right track, I think! I do like really classic names a lot of the time, I do like some modern twist into a lot of them. Like I love Juniper and Shiloh
Hehehe, I'm glad you like at least one! No worries, I don't easily take offense to anything
So Molly really does sound mature? I'm glad! Cause I'd hate do give my kid a childish name that wont grow up with them!

Age check:
Can I see someone named Molly at age...
1? Yes
5? Yes
13? Yes
25? Yes
40? Yes
70? Yes
See, Molly totally checks out. I have zero problems imagining a Molly in a crib, high school or nursing home. Your name is Brynleigh? Yeah, the -leigh ending probably won't age particularly well. (I'd use a sheepish face here, but apparently we don't have sheepish faces on this forum)
No, Molly Briar Rose doesn't look lengthy. I meant that I didn't like how close the lengths are at 5, 5, and letters. I just think it would look more attractive if you look at Briar-Rose as one name, which it can be. Also, I was going by your other name with one middle name. Personally, I would either do all 1 middle name or all 2 middle names. Molly will stick out if she is the only one with two. According to this, it is a version of Sleeping Beauty that the Brothers Grimm wrote. Neat. Briar Rose disambiguation
Posted 15 September 2010 - 12:33 PM
so maybe something similar but different
sorry,, not much help,, am I? haha x
Posted 15 September 2010 - 12:34 PM
Hehe, they need a sheepish emoticon!
I don't mind the dash, cause adding a last name in there, it probably would look better with a dash!
Molly Briar-Rose Taylor does look more connected with a dash
Ooooh, that's cool! It has a cool association to go with it, too!
Posted 15 September 2010 - 12:45 PM
Hehehe, all input is appreciated! Plus, I'm bored at home all day, so anyone to talk to is always wonderful
Posted 15 September 2010 - 12:47 PM
I'm glad you like it! I was trying for ages to find a middle name that wasn't too 'filler' and then when I found Chantelle it just fit perfectly. I like it cuz it's a modern twist on a classic name. Why aren't you at school?
I like Molly Chantelle, too!
Hehehe, all input is appreciated! Plus, I'm bored at home all day, so anyone to talk to is always wonderful
Posted 15 September 2010 - 01:16 PM
But me, at school?
But my mum is making me do some weird schooling thing :L Duel enrollment..... :0
Posted 15 September 2010 - 01:55 PM
Posted 15 September 2010 - 02:03 PM

But me, at school?
But my mum is making me do some weird schooling thing :L Duel enrollment..... :0

~ Molly Eliza- Not a fan of Eliza. I like Molly Elizabeth though but it might sound like a filler name.
~ Molly Claire- I LOVE it.
~ Molly Ophelia- Dont like this one. Kind of out there for my taste.
~ Molly Hope- Its alright. Molly Faith would also sound good.
~ Molly Paige- Again, its okay.
~ Molly Arabella- Never been a fan of Arabella but it does sound pretty good with Molly.
~ Molly Annabel (too childish?)- Molly doesnt seem childish but Annabel kind of does.
~ Molly Olivia- LOVE
~ Molly Alice- Alice is kind of old fashioned to me but it sounds good together
I think Molly sounds better with a shorter middle name (Claire, Hope, Paige, Olivia)
Those would be my favorite from your list
I also like Molly Johanna which someone suggested earlier.
Some other suggestions
Molly Grace/Molly Brooke- I realy love these. If I had a daughter named Molly I'd use Grace or Brooke as the middle name
Molly Savannah
Molly Alexis
Molly Renee
Molly Faith
Molly Kathleen
Molly Lucia
Moly Elise/Elyse
Molly Noelle
Molly Corinne
Molly Sophia
Molly Quinn
Molly Rochelle- I like the double L's, it looks very classy
Molly Francesca- Another one of my favorites
Molly Cecilia- Again, another favorite!
Molly Teagan
Molly Reese- I like this one a lot
Molly Charlotte
Molly Christine
Like any? Sorry its such a long list!
Hope I helped!
Posted 16 September 2010 - 04:34 AM
You have so many pretty names on that list that Claire just seems like such a filler. But thats why were here to help you
~ Molly Eliza: Opinion's above lol
~ Molly Claire: Opinion above
~ Molly Ophelia: I dont like this one, the O in Molly and O for Ophelia dont sound great together.
~ Molly Hope: I like it
~ Molly Paige: Very pretty (but thats cause Paige is my name lol)
~ Molly Arabella: Ohh my fav on this list, gorgeous. Maybe eliminate one of the L's though because of the two L's in Molly and then two in Arabella.
~ Molly Annabel: Cute but I prefer Arabella
~ Molly Olivia: I dont know if the O's together bother you. But it sounds 'off'
~ Molly Alice: Lovely
I love your list.
Molly Scarlett or Charlotte (haha)
Molly Jasmine
Molly Faith
Molly Indigo
Molly Blair
Molly Selene
Molly Willow
Molly Madelyn
Molly Katherine
Molly Alicia
Molly Natasha
Molly Harper
Molly Harlow
Molly Emmeline
Molly Sophia
Molly Briar is gorgeous, good luck deciding because I love most names on your list.
Posted 17 September 2010 - 08:41 AM
and ohh,, have you quit school? confused.
and what the hell is that? :L
No, no! I haven't! Duel enrollment means I go to a local college (or, university ) and take classes there for both high school and college credit (: (I didn't know people could do that until now! )
Katie: I do like Molly Camille, too! Though I don't know if it's quite... the one
Ashooles: I kinda like Molly Anna too, but it makes me think of someone I don't like D:
Nicole: I love Molly Clare, but it is too "filler" name for a combo I would use
I like:
~ Molly Renee
~ Molly Noelle
~ Molly Francesca
~ Molly Cecilia
~ Molly Teagan
~ Molly Reese
~ Molly Charlotte
Paige :
Hehehe, that was my problem! Cause no matter how much I like Claire, it really does sound like a filler!
Ahh, the Charlotte/Scarlett's D: I better not, cause I'll never decide... <3
I like:
~ Molly Indigo (though I'm not sure I "love" it :L)
~ Molly Willow (does this sound a bit "off" too, though D:?)
~ Molly Madeleine (instead of Madelyn )
~ Molly Katherine (though Katherine is a fn on my list D:)
~ Molly Harper
~ Molly Harlow
~ Molly Emmeline
~ Molly Sophia
I absolutely LOVE Molly Katherine! It's just that I already have a combo for Katherine, and definitely want Katherine as a first name, being I've wanted a baby named Katherine nick name Katie/Kate So any name that has a similar feel to Katherine would probably work, lol.
Thanks so much for all the input! It was all extremely helpful!
Posted 17 September 2010 - 01:03 PM
I kinda like Molly Anna too, but it makes me think of someone I don't like D:
Molly Anna reminds me of Pollyanna.
Posted 17 September 2010 - 02:13 PM
Yeah the two L's in Molly and Willow yet again. I love Molly Emmeline.
Molly Katherine is gorgeous but if you wanna use Katherine as a first name then dont settle for it as a middle name.
Heres some names similar to Katherine.
Molly Katarin
Molly Katalin
Molly Kathleen
Molly Cadence
Molly Kaitlyn
Molly Katryn
Molly Kayla/Cayla
Molly Catriona
Molly Caterina

The folllowing is a news release issued by Fight Crime: Invest in Kids Illinois:
Citing research that shows preschool is effective in preventing future crime, law enforcement leaders from Kane and Kendall Counties visited the East Aurora Early Childhood Center Friday to recognize State Representative Linda Chapa LaVia for her long-time leadership in the Illinois General Assembly as an advocate for the state's preschool program.
Kane County State's Attorney Joe McMahon, Kendall County State's Attorney Eric Weis, Aurora Police Chief Greg Thomas, and St. Charles Police Chief James Lamkin presented Rep. Chapa LaVia with the Champion for Children Award. The award was presented on behalf of the over 300 Illinois state's attorneys, police chiefs, and sheriffs who are members of Fight Crime: Invest in Kids Illinois, a bipartisan anti-crime organization.
"I know I speak on behalf of state's attorneys, police chiefs and sheriffs across Illinois when I say that the state's preschool program is one of the most important tools we have when it comes to crime prevention. Common sense tells us that if we give children the skills they need to succeed right from the very beginning, chances are that they will start and stay on the right path in life – and the research backs that up," said State's Attorney McMahon. "We're grateful that Representative Chapa LaVia is willing to go to bat for quality early childhood education to ensure it remains a priority in Illinois."
The group acknowledged Chapa LaVia's work in her capacity as Chair of the House Elementary and Secondary Education Committee and as former chair of the committee that deals with the Illinois State Board of Education budget. Citing her many years as a vocal advocate for the state preschool program in the General Assembly, the law enforcement leaders noted that her efforts have become even more important as the program has been significantly impacted by state budget cuts.
Illinois' state preschool program is nationally recognized for its quality. But cuts to the program over the past 5 years have resulted in nearly 22,000 children losing their spot in preschool across the state. In Kane County, nearly 300 slots were lost, adding to the over 8,000 unserved 3- and 4-year-olds in the County who are from families that cannot afford quality preschool on their own.
"If many of the people I see in the courtroom had learned early in life how to get along with others, resolve conflict, listen, and take direction, they wouldn't be where they are today," said Kendall County State's Attorney Eric Weis. "Research shows that preschool gives young children these skills, and that they'll carry them into adulthood."
Law enforcement's experience and rigorous research supports the value of preschool. A study of the Perry Preschool in Michigan tracked at-risk children who attended the program and similar children that did not attend. At age 27, adult non-participants were five times more likely to have been arrested for drug felonies and twice as likely to have been arrested for violent crimes. Another study of the publicly funded Child-Parent Centers in Chicago found that kids left out of the program were 27 percent more likely to have been arrested by age 28 than those who participated.

Hi all,
Was hoping for a bit of help with picking out a replacement for my 2009 12m North Rebel. I loved the kite, incredibly stable and a massive wind range. I seem to be going more and more down the route of unhooked stuff, though still love waves and boosting. I unhook with it at the moment, but don't have anything to compare it to in terms of how good / bad it is (pop doesn't feel great, and if it's too windy, the it keeps pulling until you land, but it has served me well getting to S-bends at least).
The obvious choice would be the Vegas, but the other issue is that I am pretty heavy at a nice round 100kg.
So my question is (as my biggest kite) which kite is likely to give me a better day for those 15-16 knots marginal days that I seam to have by far the most of:
- a 2012 12m Evo, which is meant to have a good low end, and be decent for unhooking and is more of an all round kite (like waves if they are around)
- or a 2012 12m Vegas, which is obviously great for unhooking, but isn't meant to have a great low end.
As a bonus question - does anyone know what the largest size of the 2 kites you can do decent kite loops with? Imagine the 12 Vegas probably works, but not sure if a 12 Evo will??
I suppose I could go a bit bigger in sizes to get more low end, but I really want to only have 2 kites for travelling so I currently think a 12 and an 8 is optional.
Sticking with North at the moment as I have a couple of their bars and the brand has done me well, but happy to take recommendations on other good low end, unhooking, kite looping 12s
Cheers in advance for your collective wisdom

March 26, 2008
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The MIT women's lacrosse team picked up its first win of the season following a 13-8 decision over SUNY Fredonia. Casey Flynn tallied two goals, three assists, and four draw controls as Laura Watson totaled four goals. Erica Little posted three points on two goals and an assist while Stephanie Brenman collected six groundballs and two caused turnovers. Monique Squiers notched nine saves in the first win of her intercollegiate career.
Watson recorded her first goal of the day after connecting on a feed from Flynn 6:50 into the contest. Kelly Duncan increased MIT's margin with a free-position shot three minutes later. The Blue Devils quickly cut their deficit in half, but the Engineers (1-3) responded with three straight goals for a 5-1 advantage. Flynn set up Watson for the first goal and then added a pair of strikes of her own, including a free-position shot.
Fredonia State found the back of the net at the 7:24 mark, which was followed by almost six minutes of scoreless play. Watson ended the drought when she connected on a pass from Little with 1:49 on the clock. Exactly 17 seconds later, Little tallied an unassisted goal to make the score 7-2. The Blue Devils wrapped up the first half scoring with 36 seconds remaining.
Fredonia State carried the momentum into the second stanza as it narrowed the gap to three (7-4) after 1:13 elapsed. This was a close as it would get as the Engineers rattled off three unanswered goals. Samantha O'Keefe's free-position shot started the spurt, which was followed with an unassisted strike by Edith Reshef. Just 21 seconds later, the Watson-Flynn connection returned to increase MIT's margin to 10-4.
Midway through the frame, the Blue Devils converted a free-position shot which was immediately answered with an unassisted blast by Little. Fredonia State countered with another free-position goal however O'Keefe and Stephanie Brenman registered back-to-back tallies to make the score 13-6 with 9:55 to go. The Blue Devils recorded their third consecutive free-position goal two minutes later and then capped the scoring with 52 seconds left to play.

Best Kids Parties: Carnival
Name: Nathan, 8
Location: Washington State
Our son Nathan turned 8 in January and since the weather is usually cold and wet during that month, we wanted to create a fun indoor party at home for him and his friends to enjoy. Nathan loved the idea of having a carnival theme with games, tickets and prizes!
I started by sending an invitation out via Paperless Post which was nice and easy. On the day of the party, we decorated using custom signs we designed and printed at home. We set up games throughout the house that we either created (soup cans stacked up) or purchased online via Oriental Trading. We kept the snacks simple and went with finger foods like mini corn dogs, popcorn and apples. The kids really enjoyed getting tickets for each game they played and at the end of the party, they got to choose little goodies from small bins that we had set up. The indoor mini carnival was a birthday success! :)
Thanks, Jenn!

There are advantages to having your family roots lying in a small country – less area to cover in genealogical searches, for instance, as well as a smaller population and ease of travel to visit cemeteries and ancestral towns.
However, actually finding the sources of information available can sometimes be difficult in these cases, especially if you do not speak the language.
This is where I hope to help. At least for one small country in the world.
My family roots lie in Latvia, a small country on the east coast of the Baltic Sea in northeastern Europe, bordered by Estonia to the north, Russia to the east and Lithuania and Belarus to the south. Latvia has a present-day population of 2.2 million people, and there are tens of thousands of Latvians living around the world.
I live in Canada, home to approximately 27,000 people of Latvian descent. I was born in Canada, as were my parents. My grandparents came to Canada after the Second World War, as did most of the Latvians living in countries such as Canada, the United States and Australia. I will elaborate more on history and historical migrations in future posts.
I have been searching for my family history since I was a teenager. Now, shortly after graduating from university, I have started to work towards becoming a professional genealogist, specializing in Latvian research, so that I can help others find the family roots they may have been brick-walled on for years.
Information on the best way to research Latvian genealogy is hard to come by. Most of it that does exist is in Latvian, which may be a stumbling block for many researchers who do not speak Latvian. Since I grew up speaking Latvian, this is not a problem for me, and I am open to helping others on their journeys to discovering their Latvian ancestors.
This blog will chronicle my journey in discovering my Latvian ancestors, which is always a work in progress, as well as providing general information for other researchers about Latvian research, history, surnames, geography, techniques and languages involved.
It may not be as difficult as it first appears to be.

Quote from the Release notes:
This is the companion disc to the one called "LA Without The Words" (ATM 006). Some time after I had made up that set I decided to put it with this disc to make a 2CD set called 'The Electric Church". Both of these discs I put onto Mini Disc [MD] from the CDRs so I could listen to them on the move. I actually made a couple of cassette copies which went out in trades. At the time certainly most of the material on this disc was uncirculated and therefore the inevitable happened - it got bootlegged. Those of you familiar with the "Mixdown Master Tapes Vol.1-3" (ftbfs: B621 / B622 / B623) will recognise this as being the first disc. They had taken material sourced from MD copies, added no-noise and ruined the music. Most of the tracks on those 3 CDs came from MD sourced material.
Here is the music as it was meant to be... straight from the CDR master and in the original running order and without a trace of MD lineage.]
- Some sources list the origin for "Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window" (5) - listed here as being from Winterland Arena, San Francisco, CA 11.10.68 [Soundcheck] - as the rehearsals for BBC Radio's "Rhythm & Blues" Show , Playhouse Theatre, London 17.10.67.
- Featuring material found on "Mixdown Master Tapes Vol.1-3" (ftbfs: B621 / B622 / B623) but in better quality (Lower Gen and no de-noising).
- Disc 2 is the same as ATM 006 "LA Without The Words" / "Outtake Masters: LA Without The Words".
- Alternate versions of this set is available.
**Skibum Notes**
Disc Two is the upgraded version of LA Without the Words without the MD in the lineage and it includes an extra track, 1984...(A Merman I Should Turn To Be). The original artwork did not include this track so I added this on to it and is listed as (Electric Church - Back) modified.jpg and (Electric Church - Front) modified.jpg. The originals are included as well.
Peace, Illumination & Music

I took my 2x4 reindeer and gave him a body, legs, a girl-friend, and a ride! Yeah, I'm telling you, today I impressed myself with this one.
Want details? Here you go:
2x4 block cut to 3.5 x 3.5 inches {head}
2 2x4 blocks cut to 3.5 x 1.5 inches {hooves}
1" diameter dowel cut into two 6 inch lengths {legs}
2x6* block cut to 5 x 7 inches {body}
I used a leftover piece of paint stick for the nose piece about 2" long
*I actually used the 2x10 board that I bought for the sleigh and just split it in half,
hence 2 reindeer instead of 1!
1. Paint and sand the edges of each block.
2. Drill placement holes into body and feet, holes for antlers into head.
I used a 1/2" bit for the antlers, and a 1" boring bit for the dowels.
I drilled completely through the feet and about an inch and a half into the body.
3. Assemble the body. Glue dowels into place and let completely dry.
5. Glue on the tail and head pieces. If you wish, the wood is thick enough
to use a screw or two. Just be sure to pre-drill pilot holes.
Add a fun collar and other embellishments and your reindeer is good to go!
To make the sleigh I cut down a 2x10 inch piece of wood with my band saw.
2x4 block cut to 8 inches long
and 1" diameter dowel cut to two 3" lengths
I originally kept this really square to match the shape of the deer. Still an option if you only have a miter or jig saw. This piece of wood is to thick for a scroll saw-you'll kill your blade and it will take forever to cut!
Follow the same basic instructions for the sleigh as you did for the deer.
Paint and sand.
Drill placement holes-be sure they are in the same place on the sleigh and runner piece.
Assemble with a little glue.
Add your embellishments and your done!
*I ran a length of ribbon from the front of the sleigh to each of the deer collars to connect the pieces.
Have fun and Happy Crafting!

Skip to comments.Facebook apologizes for removing self-abortion profile picture
Posted on 01/03/2012 3:58:12 PM PST by wagglebee
NETHERLANDS, Amsterdam, January 3, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) The director of an abortion advocate group was incensed last Friday after Facebook removed her profile picture that provided step-by-step instructions for self-inducing an abortion. Facebook later apologized and allowed the profile picture to be reinstated.
Dr. Rebecca Gomperts, founder of Women on Waves, an organization that packs an abortion clinic into a ship and brings the procedure to mothers in countries where it is illegal, told Radio Netherlands that the profile picture was designed to provide information on how women can safely induce an abortion using a medicine called Misoprostol.
The text is based on information and research from the World Health Organization. So it is really quite safe, said Gomperts.
The instructions for what Gomperts calls a safe abortion till 9 weeks of pregnancy begin with a visit to a pharmacy to buy 12 tablets of Misoprostol. Gomperts encourages the pregnant mother to lie to the pharmacist saying that the tablets are for your grandmother with arthritis.
Gomperts then instructs the pregnant mother how to ingest the tablets.
Within 4 hours you can get cramps, nausea, chills, diarrhoea, bleeding. If you soak more than 2 maxi sanitary pads per hour for more than 2 hours; if you have a fever or severe pain you have to go to a doctor (you can say you had a miscarriage).
Facebook at first removed Gomperts profile picture stating that it violates Facebooks Statement of Rights and Responsibilities. The company did not mention which part of the legal terms Gomperts profile picture violated.
Under their legal terms for safety, Facebook demands that users will not post content that is hateful, threatening or that incites violence.
Under their legal terms for protecting other peoples rights, Facebook demands that users will not post content or take any action on Facebook that infringes or violates someone elses rights or otherwise violates the law.
Facebook apologized to Gomperts two days after the removal, stating that the profile picture was not in violation of our Statement of Rights and Responsibilities, and appears to have been removed in error.
We do apologize for the removal of this content and the subsequent warning that you received, the company said, adding that when they make a mistake and remove a piece of content we shouldnt have they work quickly to address it by apologizing to the people affected and making any necessary changes to our systems and processes.
Woman on Waves said in a press release that by removing the profile picture, Facebook had severely violated articles from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and of the European Convention of Human Rights.
Facebook has a social responsibility to guarantee and protect human rights, the group said.
Gomperts has reposted her self-induced abortion profile picture and is encouraging all Facebook users that support abortion rights to repost the message on their page.
LifeSiteNews contacted Woman on Waves by phone but did not receive a comment by press time. LifeSiteNews also contacted Facebook by e-mail but did not receive a response by press time.
However, nudity on Facebook is prohibited.

Of course they would. Zuckerberg is a Harvard guy and a big Obama fan.
Baby killers on Facebook. Nice.
My guess is that Facebook is agnostic on the issue and would take money from both Pro Life and Pro Abortion groups.
If a woman "terminates" her child does she retain her status as a mother? Perhaps a more appropriate name would be "terminator".
I had to read that three times to make sure I got that right.
I don't know whether it is more mind boggling that they restored the facebook page or had put allowed it to be put up in the first place.
I know some strongly pro-life teens and adults, come to think of it, who would be VERY interested in knowing this, like my kids for example. They've not been happy with the direction facebook has been going in lately but this just might push them over the edge and get them off.
If someone would come up with a moral and conservative social networking site, I think it could really take off.
Ping to the homeschool list as this would likely be of interest to them as well.
Not for the baby it isn't.
Glad I never drank the Facebook kool-aid.
What a great home school project for computers class! Setting up a conservative social networking site, and in a election year, too, giving it an additional purpose. It would make a great poli-sci project as well.
Considering what computer whizzes some teens can be, it ought not be hard.
Up to nine weeks? I notice there is no mention of the possibility that, if the "abortion" should fail, what damage would be done to the child.
Some nasty stuff. Even taking as directed I had mild stomach cramps and constant diarrhea. Quit after a week and told him to give me something else.
My husband's been talking about this for a few months now — reading these comments, he's going to go to his office and tinker around and work out the details...

Okay, I decided to just post all kinds of random stuff up here...We have Reverend Billy and I up to shenanigans on St. Marks Place..He had me sing a few lines of a song for a music video they are putting together..I think they are screening the video this sunday at his headquarters around 9:00 p.m. at 250 Lafayette St, if I'm remembering correctly..All that info should be on his website and facebook and all that..I want to go so I can see how this video came out..They had a lot of neighborhood characters sing I think..That photo was taken by Jefferson Siegel.
Then there's the poster up at C Squat that says Polka Dots are awesome and hypocrites are lame..I really like that poster for some reason! Then I spotted the crazy Caveman Car parked on First Avenue a few days ago..Does its greatness really need to be expounded on? The dinosaurs and Barney looking like he's on acid glued to the roof, the primitive art painted on the sides, the leopard fun fur all over it..I mean, REALLY people!!! Does it GET any better than this?
And speaking of acid, the new DEAD are on tour and in the area and there are smelly hippies everywhere! The hippie on the bench had his headphones on and was playing air guitar for hours across from where I was sitting in Tompkins..What was he jammin' out to? My guess is either an old Grateful Dead SPACE jam, Peter Frampton's COMES ALIVE album, or maybe that weird numerology album that Cat Stevens put out decades ago. Now THAT shit was weird!
I stole the photo of Hotdog and I funning around with the cops on Avenue A from Bob Arihood who pretty much inspired me to start blogging in the first place. Anyone who doesn't read his blog already, should. Hotdog dragged me over to the cop car and told them I was her BFF. They told me they thought I was her daughter. Then she bummed a cigarette off of them. Good times!
The last pic is just a nice shot of Biker Bill and I on Avenue A. It was taken by Lorcan Otway.
So that's the news for now. I can't think of any clever way to end this post so i'll just write the word ASSNECK because that word is funny.

Tuesday, January 22, Sunward Cohousing Community Common House
424 Little Lake Dr., Ann Arbor, MI 48103
Same agenda: Wednesday, January 23, 11:00 am - 2 pm, Washtenaw County Learning Resource Center (on the Sheriff's Department Campus) , 4135 Washtenaw Ave., Ann Arbor, MI, 48108
Community Conversations are offered as part of the Understanding Race Project, an audience engagement effort launched in support of the RACE: Are we so different? exhibit coming to the U-M Museum of Natural History from February 9-May 27, 2013. Building on the 2012 series, the 2013 Community Conversations series will focus on issues of systemic racism, complexities of racial justice, and moving ahead of the "new racism." January's community conversation is entitled: Colorblind: How not seeing "color" actually hinders justice and equality. We often hear people adopt an approach of "colorblindness" and try to minimize or ignore "racial" differences. "I don't even see color. We're all just human and I treat everybody the same." This month, we'll explore this approach of ignoring race. Is it possible to truly be "colorblind?" How has this played out historically in the U.S., and how does "colorblindness" currently affect systems of education, employment, criminal justice? Could it possibly do more harm than good? We invite community members to share their thoughts through a facilitated conversation. Please bring teens, a friend, your voice, and an open mind. Refreshments will be served. RSVPs are not required, but appreciated for planning appropriately. RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com

Xbox Live is the popular gaming console that has sold million devices all over the world. It allows both online games and DVD based games. When you buy it, you get usually a two month free trial card that contains the basic Xbox Live codes that allow you to play the games of the console free for two months. Once this trial period ends though, you need to buy the codes or find them somewhere else.
Right now there tend to be a lot of Xbox live lovers playing right now which would certainly want to be able to acquire their own membership which is free of charge. This is not a big surprise considering the popularity of the xbox live gaming community. Especially the hard core gamers who spend most of their time playing online games However several individuals have a significant issue with having to spend the fairly large prices which are required in order to play the actual online game. Especially with the current economic state. Most gamers will struggle to afford a game not to mention the membership. Which is the reason why there tend to be so many consumers searching for free gold Xbox Live membership.
If you're a Microsoft subscriber, you have an extra chance of getting free microsoft points. Microsoft does give away freebies such as free gaming for a certain number of hours. However, don't hold your breath. These occasions aren't common and only occur when sponsored by some other company.
Finally, the only way to get a consistent influx of free microsoft points is to work for it. Although that sentence might be considered a bit of a paradox, there are websites out there that reward you with gaming codes when you complete whatever it is they ask you to do. These tasks may range from surveys to referrals to anything else that benefits the website.

Genetic markers for growth, leanness and meat quality discovered at Iowa State University (ISU) have been made available to pork producers in the United States.
"This offers a unique opportunity to use molecular genetics to improve pigs' growth, leanness, feed conversion and meat quality for all breeds typically seen in the United States," says Max Rothschild, C.F. Curtis Distinguished Professor in Agriculture and director of the Center for Integrated Animal Genomics at ISU..
The Iowa State University Research Foundation has signed a licensing agreement with GeneSeek, Inc. of Lincoln, NE. The license permits GeneSeek to use the technologies as markers to identify hogs that have the potential to improve economics of hog producers operations' and enhance pork quality for the consumer.
Those markers offer:
- MC4R controls growth and leanness. The producer and breeder can choose the "fast" growth form of the gene, cutting three days off the time it takes a pig to reach market weight, or the "lean/efficient growth" form of the gene, reducing the pig's backfat and the amount of feed it eats.
- PRKAG3 controls meat composition. Producers and breeders can select for animals having a high pH, improving quality and offering better meat color.
- CAST affects meat tenderness and quality. Producers can test and select those animals that are likely to produce more tender meat and improved meat quality.
- HMGA1 is highly associated with backfat and lean growth. Producers can test and select animals that are likely to be leaner and produce offspring that are leaner.
These genes are best used in combination, explains Rothschild. Use of all four would benefit overall line development for improved growth, leanness and meat quality.
A combination of MC4R and HMGA1 could be used for growth and backfat improvement only, or MC4R and HMGA1 could be used together for significant leanness in breeding stock.
Finally, PRKAG3 and CAST could be used together to improve meat quality.
Rothschild advises producers and breeders to work together to develop the best multi-gene combination for their herds.

Denny Hamlin Cleared to Race at Martinsville
Denny Hamlin will be back behind the wheel of his No. 11 car this weekend at Martinsville Speedway, after NASCAR received official confirmation from his doctors that he has been medically cleared to resume regular racing activities.
Joe Gibbs Racing made the announcement Wednesday afternoon, three days after Hamlin missed the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event at Auto Club Speedway due to what the team originally termed a vision problem stemming from a sinus infection. According to JGR, it was actually a piece of metal that doctors removed from Hamlin's eye that proved to be the source of his vision issues.
While in Southern California, Hamlin was sent to a local hospital for tests, and upon returning home he met with doctors both Monday and Wednesday. It was following Wednesday's follow-up examination that doctors provided the necessary approval for Hamlin to resume all racing activity without restriction. NASCAR has received official confirmation from his doctors clearing him to resume racing this weekend.
According to JGR, Hamlin first visited the infield care center at Auto Club Speedway this past Saturday night, bothered with irritation in his eye. He returned again on Sunday morning because the condition had worsened, and it was determined by the medical team onsite that he not be allowed to race due to what was believed to be a sinus infection impacting his vision.
Darian Grubb, Hamlin's crew chief, told NASCAR.com at Fontana that the headaches were so severe that Hamlin was holding his head, and that pressure on the driver's left eye left him unable to pass a test in which the subject visually follows a finger being moved horizontally back and forth. Sam Hornish Jr., who races a partial NASCAR Nationwide Series schedule for JGR but was only in Fontana in case the wife of Gibbs driver Matt Kenseth went into labor, was pressed into fill-in duty and finished 17th.
While being evaluated at the hospital, doctors found a small piece of metal in Hamlin's eye, according to JGR, and the driver's condition improved immediately after it was removed. A CT scan did not find any further complications, and JGR said the piece of metal is believed to have been the source of Hamlin's vision issues. Hamlin was released from the hospital Sunday night, and received doctor's approval to fly home.
Hamlin, 33, is a 23-time winner in the Sprint Cup Series. The Virginia native is a four-time winner at Martinsville Speedway.

How wonderful to be connected to people you grew up with. They are indeed like family when you share so many memories and commonalities. My attention particularly zoomed in on the Girls Basketball State Champs of 1946. My Mom was a State Basketball Player in 1943 in Iowa, and the tradition of Basketball carried on into my own high school days. Although not a on a state champion basketball team, I loved the game enough to become a high school girls basketball and volleyball coach.ReplyDelete
I'm visiting your blog via GeneaBloggers Sentimental Sunday. Hope you'll have a chance to stop by and see my Sentimental Sunday Post listed just above yours for today.
I've enjoyed browsing your blog and look forward to more of your stories and posts. I'm a new follower.

I just realized I forgot to tell you where in Iowa my Mom was a Basketball Champ. It was in Exira, Iowa. Her scrapbook from Exira High School has been the source for many of my ancestor stories and photos. I was born in Iowa and raised in Texas! That's one of my posted stories, too! Nice to meet you!ReplyDelete
Small world. Exira just down the road in the next county for Coon Rapids. Always in our conference when I was growing up. Still drive thru Exira regularly, when in Iowa. Love your web sites... keep up the good work! ;-)ReplyDelete

Lamkin N-DUR 3GEN White/Black Midsize Grip
Since 1925, Lamkin has left an enduring footprint on both golf grip innovation and the entire grip market. That tradition continues in the form of N-DUR with 3GEN, a functional and innovative synthetic rubber compound that can help golfers improve control of their swings. The Lamkin N-DUR 3GEN White/Black Midsize Grip is Lamkins latest premium grip for all woods and irons that combines a revolutionary new material, distinctive surface pattern, and tapered design. All three of these aspects blend to allow the golfer to apply very light grip pressure and gain more control of the club throughout the golf swing. Its for golfers who want less wrist action in their swing or have arthritis or other conditions that prevent them from completely gripping a standard-sized grip.
3GEN's advanced synthetic rubber compound reduces impact jolts without dulling shot feel -- producing a smooth, single-strike impact. The minimal surface pattern helps maximize surface area contact with the hands, providing enough pattern for comfort and a loads of tackiness - thus reducing the tension necessary to maintain control through swing and impact.

A painting by Claude Monet fetched $30.8 million at a Sotheby's auction in London on Wednesday after a bidding battle jacked up the selling price of the work. The auction of Impressionist and Modern art brought in a total of $165.9 million.
Monet's "Le Palais Contarini" depicts a Venetian palazzo and was created in 1908. The painting was the subject of a four-way bidding skirmish that caused the selling price to rise slightly above Sotheby's high-end estimate of $30.2 million.
The painting belonged to the Nahmad family of art dealers, who had purchased the work for $4.2 million in 1996 at a Christie's auction. The Nahmad family has been in the news recently following allegations that one of its scions, Helly, was involved in a gambling and money-laundering scheme.
ART: Can you guess the high price?
A number of other works managed to exceed sales expectations. A work by Piet Mondrian -- "Composition with Red, Yellow and Blue" (1927) -- beat estimates by selling for $14.5 million. The abstract work had been expected to sell for $9.2 million at the high end.
Another Monet -- a 1872 painting titled "Le Pont de Bois" -- sold for $9.6 million, beating estimates. The painting was part of the collection of the late Gustav Rau and was being sold to benefit UNICEF. A small-scale bronze statue by Camille Claudel -- the lover of Auguste Rodin who went insane -- sold for $7.9 million. The piece is titled "The Waltz, first version," and was cast in 1893.
Sotheby's said in a release that Wednesday's auction saw a record number of participants from Asia for a London sale of Impressionist works.
On Tuesday, a Christie's auction of Impressionist and Modern art brought in a total of $100.4 million. The sales are part of the London summer auction season that draws high-end collectors and museum representatives.

Twelve months ago we compiled an Index evaluating 50 of the leading FM businesses in the UK, aiming to spark some debate, particularly as FM is rarely seen as a coherent industry – even by many participants.
Our view is that there are more similarities than differences between Soft FM, M&E and the other sectors, and that examining the strategies and performance of a wide set of business can be instructive about which of them are likely to be the long-term winners. We are updating the analysis now in order to take stock of the industry and to see what differences are emerging between the largest players. Specifically, we have used some financial analysis based on published accounts as a starting point for some investigation of the trends likely to define the market over the next 2-3 years ...

The son of NFL great Lawrence Taylor was arrested in Georgia on Sunday on three counts of statutory rape, sodomy and child molestation, the New York Daily News reports.
Lawrence Taylor Jr., 31, was jailed without bond in Powder Springs, about 25 miles northwest of Atlanta. The charges stem from an alleged incident at the younger Taylor's home on Saturday when a girl, described as under 16, claims Taylor Jr. "did with force spread her legs then pulled her bathing suit to the side and gave her oral sex," according to the arrest warrant.
Taylor Jr. could face up to 25 years to life in prison if convicted of the aggravated sodomy or aggravated child molestation charges. A statutory rape conviction carries 10 to 20 years in prison under Georgia state law.
Taylor Sr. faced felony statutory rape charges in 2010, after being found guilty of having sex with an underage prostitute. While he served no jail time, he is a registered sex offender and is on probation. He ended up pleading guilty to lesser charges of patronizing a prostitute and sexual misconduct.
When a 17-year-old Taylor Jr. spoke at his dad's Hall of Fame induction ceremony in 1999 in Canton, Ohio, he spoke highly of him.
"If I could pick anyone to be my father, I'd pick Lawrence Taylor," Taylor Jr. said that day.

First off, my name is Tiffany Bozic. I paint all things feathery and slithery, mostly on maple panels with acrylic washes. Below is an example of a painting called 'The Raft' I made this past summer - you can see more of my work here: www.tiffanybozic.net.
My husband Jack is the curator of Birds and Mammals at the California Academy of Sciences. He has been traveling around PNG for many years studying mostly Birds, namely a poisonous bird called a Pitohui. But he's always dreamed of surveying these very remote islands off the eastern tip of PNG called Milne Bay. Our mission was to set up mist nets on as many islands as we could and collect samples from local bird populations to screen for viruses. I'm just giving a tiny taste of our sailing adventure. If you are interested in any details you can get the full account here: calacademy.org/blogs/jdumbacher/
I hope you enjoy!
The Raft by Tiffany Bozic
PNG is located right above Australia. On this trip we visited Milne Bay Islands off the South Eastern tip.
Our Sailboat Dalai - Bruno and Charmin along with their son Aladin built this boat from scratch.
The locals still use these traditional dug out canoes to get around from island to island.
Traditional local sailing rig - these boats could move really fast!
It seemed to us that every kid had their own boat and they would sail up to us and trade items like fresh fruits and veggies for rice and sugar.
A lot of the boats had beautiful carvings like this.
A beautiful and safe place to anchor, don't you think?
Many of the islands were too small to support human populations like this island here in the distance. But a great place to look for birds! A yam garden is in the foreground.
The water was about 80-100'visability - great snorkeling! Sadly, my camera couldn't capture the bioluminescence at night!
There was trash washed up on the shores of every single island we visited. The one item we saw most frequently? You guessed it: flip flops. Sigh.
palm cliffs
orange shrooms
Here is an example of typical house in a village. Sago palm roof and Pandana walls, and black palm floor boards.
Here they laid out coconuts to dry in the sun. The land and ocean provides them with fresh fish, fruit, bush material for their houses, just about everything you need to get by in this world except I-phones and Television ofcourse.
A portrait of a beautiful happy family
No doubt in my mind that this boy is going to be a sweet little heartbreaker...
Almost every island we arrived children would start crying "Dim Dim!!!" which translates to 'white people'. A lot of them had never seen a white person. It is quite possible then that this young boy had never had his photo taken by anyone, let alone a Dim Dim. Hence the expression on his face...
This poor little girl was running a bad fever. Malaria is very present in this region. Without a test it's hard to know but reasonable to assume.
Ahh... Sumatra is so cute! She lives in a Matrilineal Society so she will grow up and inherit generous parcels of land and hopefully live a long happy life.
Without the benefit of the ability to give notice, we had to show up to every island unannounced. But rather quickly we were ushered to whoever was in charge and explained what it was that we wanted to do there. Here is Jack with a map receiving advice from the local chiefs about which islands yield the most promising birds.
Spectacled Monarch - Some of the beautiful birds we caught in our nets seemed to give us a glimpse into a very strange and unfamiliar world.
This is a male Shining Flycatcher with a bright orange mouth (used to impress the ladies).
Meeting a Frogmouth bird was in my 'top 10 gotta'do's' before I die. I felt extremely elated followed by the quick realization that I am now 10% closer to death.
Holding a sea turtle was also in my top 10. So now I am 20% closer to death. And they were worth it!
Here I am holding a live Cus Cus (Possum). They really do play dead!
Nephila Spider - As big as your hand!
These little red ants sew leaves together to make a nest. They also bite. It was difficult to avoid brushing up against one of these nests in the forest. Within seconds we were covered in what seemed like thousands of them and screaming every profanity you can imagine. On that note: I find it interesting how long they can live without their head.
An egg fell out of its nest and broke open when it hit the ground. I put it in a betel nut and took a photo of it while it's heart was still beating. My heart goes out to all the baby birds that don't even make it up to bat.
Painted Lobsters... A fitting name!
Jungle mask
shells The feast
peeling yams... An important woman in the village died so they invited us to their ritual feast to celebrate her life. Here woman are peeling yams they grew in their gardens to cook in their clay pots.
pig slaughter... I doubt any of the children in this village are confused about where their meat comes from.
fruit dove
BBQ fruit bat... On tonight's menu they have delicately roasted fruit bat hors d'oeuvres and locally harvested Bush tobacco.
The locals ate fruit bats because they have traditionally lived off the land for thousands of years.
Field sketches:
Hornbill... Painting out in the field certainly has it's challenges, but this little Hornbill kept stealing my pens making it quite impossible to get any work done.
Hornbill eye... I couldn't stay mad for long though - she had the longest eyelashes!
I leave you with a few little watercolor (3-4") sketches...
a drawing of a girl... For those of you reading this that have followed my work and say "why no more people?" well, Here you go! (Sorry I'm out of practice)
water color branch... And this is for everybody else. If a Wattled Ploughbill mated with a Golden face it might look like this.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this. If you are still interested in checking out more photos from our travels you can find more here: calacademy.org/blogs/jdumbacher/

Confused? Is Tenkara new to you? Ready to learn a new/old method which just might put some excitement and fun back into your fishing? Here is the place to begin: http://www.tenkarabum.com
Tenkara fishing is simple - it's fly fishing the way it used to be. Before things got complicated. Before you needed a truck to haul your gear and a second mortgage to pay for it. It's fishing with just a rod, a line and a fly. You don't use a reel, but then again, you don't need a reel when fishing small streams. And it is the ideal technique for fly fishing small streams.
Most Western anglers don't know what tenkara is - and I'm sure many will want to learn more after they first hear about it. Tenkara fishing is a technique all its own, and to do it well requires specialized equipment. It's easy to learn and it doesn't require expensive equipment, but it's hard to mimic with any other rod.
I feel it is a disservice to anglers to let comments that suggest tenkara is just dapping or glorified cane pole fishing go unchallenged. Similarly, I feel it is a disservice to them to let comments that suggest they've already been doing it for years without ever realizing it go unchallenged.
The truth is the Tenkara fishing method has been used in Japan for centuries. Tenkara is also the absolute best way for a beginner to learn fly fishing. It is intuitive. You can probably pick it up on your own in a fairly short period of time. The emphasis is not on matching the hatch or expensive equipment or casting lessons. It is on presentation: making the fly look like trout food (or bluegill food, for that matter).
Is it magic? Of course not. But you probably will catch more fish than you do now, particularly in the small, high gradient streams on which tenkara was developed and refined over hundreds of years. The presentation really is that much better than you can get with a shorter rod and heavier line.

After six days straight of working, I finally had a day off. Marcus and I had a hike scheduled but unfortunately the heat wave held us back. Instead we went down to Davis Square in Somerville and had a leisure lunch at the Diesel Café. The environment is hip, friendly and fun. There are antique automotive signs and car memorabilia on the walls along with paintings from local artists. There is a lot of seating but it is always crowded. It is a good idea to have someone from your party search for a table while someone else waits in line.
Most importantly, the food and coffee are delicious. The menu is perfect for a trendy café in Somerville. They offer a wide variety of vegan, vegetarian and gluten free items that definitely do not skimp on taste. The menu mainly consists of sandwiches and salads that are anything but ordinary. However, if you are a picky eater and don't enjoy trying new things, this may not be the place for you.
Marcus ordered The Little Piston; fresh mozzarella, pesto, onion and tomato on a baguette.
Crisp and fresh!
They even give you a few spoonfuls of pasta salad on the side.
I ordered The Bow; salmon, sun-dried tomato ricotta, onion and baby spinach on brioche. I love traditional salmon and lox but this was definitely a much interesting and more flavorful twist.
The brioche was crispy on the outside and fluffy in the inside and the smoked salmon was to die for. The ricotta is my favorite part of the sandwich. The sun-dried tomato ricotta was creamy, rich and paired perfectly with the smoked salmon.
They also offer scrumptious baked goods
My vegan chocolate chip cookie was good but I would have enjoyed it a bit sweeter.
Marcus loved his shortbread dark chocolate cookie.
The cafe is a very short drive from my house and I thought that I had found my new hot spot to work on my blog and papers. But I was very disappointed to find out that Wi-Fi is not free. You must pay a monthly membership fee. This was the only down side to the cafe.
I recommend the Diesel Cafe with 4 stars.
Relaxed yet fun atmosphere, delicious food with wonderful options and a neighborhood with lots to do after lunch!

Credit unions have been booming over the past few weeks, thanks in part, I believe, to the Occupy movement. Indeed, one of the more promising trends I've seen in Occupy teach-ins, discussions and literature is a focus on promoting alternatives to corporate consumption. To that end, I'd like to recommend that the occupiers and their allies all read up on the Mondragon Corporation, a sprawling association of worker co-ops in the Basque region of Spain. Through Mondragon, some 84,000 Basque workers democratically run their own factories, schools, grocery stores, credit unions, insurance companies, and then some. Via the New Left Project, here's a 1980 documentary on the corporation's history and the community it serves:
A co-op network this sprawling probably isn't replicable in the United States any time in the near future. And our manufacturing base is so corroded that an American Mondragon would likely have to build its foundation on a separate industry. But Occupy is playing the long game, and it has no shortage of resourcefulness.
Besides, the Mondragon model appeals to some of the principles that seem to resonate most deeply with Occupiers: democracy as a way of life, economic justice, and a way of bringing these things into the real world that doesn't involve slogging through traditional legislative channels. Clearly, Occupiers must deal with dominating state and corporate power head on, but they also have a real opportunity to introduce alternatives. The Mondragon model may not be the solution, but it's something to learn from.
The experiment in promoting credit unions has thus far been a success, but it's time to think bigger and more comprehensive. It doesn't get much more comprehensive than an entire community run on economic democracy.

With spring fast approaching, the sun continues to climb higher in the sky each day. Its brilliance gives the illusion of warmth even if it's still a bit chilly out. Such was the case today. Even with the breeze, it still felt about ten degrees warmer than it actually was.
Legs felt about as sore as I'd expect them to after yesterday's race (still stoked about how I did). Easy pace on a hilly route was on tap. Felt pretty good overall.
Looking ahead for the week, I'd like to have fresh legs for the Midcoast Half Marathon on Sunday. Will take it pretty easy this week as a result. Would like to get some turnover in mid-week just to keep the legs remembering. Might opt for a light session of 400M or 800M repeats.
Ran 5.6 miles @ 8:09/mile pace.
Paved roads.
Very hilly.
Upper 20s, sunny, breezy.

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of 21st century diplomacy and international governance. Given the many different stakeholders and communities who have roles to play, it is a contemporary challenge with regard to its demand on interdisciplinary knowledge, skills and languages, and the personal capacities needed to combine these so as to make diplomatic sense and success. Competing interests, political tensions, and challenges of the world today, such as the economic recession and competing development priorities, mean that negotiation deadlocks are rife and ways to overcome them are becoming more and more challenging to find.
This online course will develop participants' understanding of the climate change policy framework, by building an appreciation of the science, causes and impacts of climate change, the history of the policy making process and the UNFCCC framework, and will also consider the pertinent challenges currently facing diplomats and international decision makers in making progress with what is currently on the negotiating table. The course will take a close look at the negotiations to-date and will consider the hot topics for negotiators as we move towards establishing a new global agreement on climate change by 2015. The course will take a close look at gender in the negotiations and also the specific interests of parties who are most vulnerable to impacts of climate change.
At the end of this course, participants should be able to:
- Describe climate change science and the observed and projected impacts of climate change;
- Track and explain the international climate change policy framework, including the climate change negotiations to date under the UNFCCC;
- Define both climate change mitigation and adaptation;
- Analyze international considerations for climate change decision-making;
- Appraise the key issues in the ongoing international climate change negotiations,and how to build and move forward from the outcomes of COP19.
The course content is to be confirmed but will tentatively include the following one-week modules:
1. Understanding Climate Change and Global Vulnerabilities
2. Introduction to Climate Change Diplomacy
3. Implementation, Compliance and Enforcement of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and Kyoto its Protocol
4. Mitigating Climate Change
5. Adapting to Climate Change
6. International Considerations for Climate Change Decision Making- International Climate Financing and Technology Transfer
7. Capacity Building, Education, Research
8. Progressing Towards Future Climate Agreements
e-Learning:The course is internet-based, moderated by senior international experts, asynchronous, and places emphasis on online discussions and self-paced learning. The participants will be primarily responsible for their own learning over the eight-week span of the course. The course will consist of the following components:
• Compulsory and optional reading material, intended to teach the basic concepts and principles of the lesson's subject-matter;
• External links to additional books, articles, documents, and websites related to the lessons;
• Quizzes and case studies at the end of each module. To be eligible for the course certificate, a passing grade of 80% on both quizzes and case studies is required;
• A Community Discussion Board will be available for participants to post questions or comments visible to the instructor and other participants. This discussion board will be moderated by the course director and UNITAR;
• Estimated learning time: minimum of 60 hours;

The Niagara USA Chamber released the following statement Tuesday:
"The Niagara USA Chamber recognizes the iconic nature of the Maid of the Mist attraction in Niagara Falls, N.Y., and the long-term commitment the corporation has made to our community and region for decades. The chamber believes the Maid of the Mist has a valid contract with New York state that is in full effect and should be honored.
"Furthermore, the chamber believes that the recent uncertainty that has been caused by the Canadian procurement for boat service on their side of the border underscores the fact that it is in our best interest to have winter boat storage and docking facilities on the American side of the border. This would allow New York state to independently procure future boat service contracts irrespective of any Canadian action.
"As such, the Niagara USA Chamber supports Gov. Cuomo's plan to allow the Maid of the Mist to build winter storage facilities at the site of the former Schoelkopf Power Plant. This ensures the future of the American attraction, improves access and amenities at the site, which has been nothing more than debris, and improves the amount the state will collect from the Maid of the Mist attraction over the life of the existing contract."

The mafia. The mob. La Cosa Nostra. Whatever you call it, America's national crime syndicate is powerful, entrenched and almost impossible to nullify.
Federal and local law enforcement have tried to stamp out organized crime for almost as many years as it has existed. The sheer size and scope of organized crime makes that nearly impossible.
Organized crime activities bring in a worldwide annual income of between $50 billion and $90 billion according to a 2002 FBI study — more money than any major legitimate national industry. From loan-sharking and labor racketeering to illegal gambling and murder for hire to its recent invasion into Wall Street — it's all part of the life-and-death business of organized crime.
And it's all lead by the bosses. The often dapper, sometimes charming and always lethal men who rise to the top of the ranks and become known to the mainstream world.
Here, we look at some of the most famous mobsters in US history.

Once again, we are considering the first movement of Fukyugata Ichi -- a left zenkutsu dachi (front bent leg stance) with a left gedan barai (downward block). This will offer a good example for this discussion but the principle will apply to all similar stance/block situations.
As you perform this first movement of Fukyugata Ichi, when does: (1) your left foot reach the zenkutsu dachi position; and (2) your left hand/arm reach the blocking position? This may seem like a strange question. But it illustrates an important issue. Does your left foot get into position first, and then you execute the block? Or do you throw the block before your left foot has gotten into position so that your block will hit at the same time as your foot?
Put another way, do you step into position and then block, or do you time it so that your foot and block hit at about the same time?
Of course, it is much easier to place the foot, and then initiate the block -- (1) step, (2) throw the block; and (3) the block hits. But in almost all cases, this will make the block too late. By the time you step into a position, the attacker will have already hit you. Thus, you must be prepared to block by the time you step into position.
Getting back to Fukyugata Ichi, by the time you reach zenkutsu dachi, your block must already hit. This means that you must initiate the block earlier -- at about the same time as your foot starts to move. Otherwise, by the time you reach the zenkutsu dachi, the attacker will have already kicked your leg (or done whatever he is doing)!
This gets back to the issue of (1) step and then punch, (2) step and punch simultaneously, or (3) punch and then step. There are many ways to time the step/punch combination, just as there are many ways to time step/block combinations.
Beginners are taught to step first, gain a firm stance, and then to block. Teaching all three things at the same will result in confusion, a weak stance, and conflicting recoils. But as the student advances, he will be taught to combine the movements such that the step and block are powered by the whole body -- a single movement with a single recoil. An advanced student will be taught to move quickly based on instability -- to not seek a strong stance first.
Consider again Fukyugata Ichi. If you step and then block, there will be a time delay before you can step forward to punch. You will have to wait for the block. But if you step and block at the same time (or close), then there is no delay and you can step forward to punch on the recoil of the block.
