Recently I had an odd encounter with a long-time-forgotten habit that I thought I should not have done any longer.
I had learned about alphabets (writing and reading) very early, even before I was introduced to school. When I started elementary school at 5 years old, I began to write on a diary. It was nothing fancy. I used a simple grid-spaced notebook that was supposed to be a math notebook. I hated the subject so much that I doodled and wrote rants about it instead of working on homework. My teacher of course called my grandma, advising her to give more attention to my homework completion.
My grandma, after a bit of investigation, realized that the root cause of all those troubles was the 'diary.' Her solution was simple: She bought me a fancy thick diary every year. Like gasoline thrown into fire, more and more words burst out of me.
Inside I usually wrote all important stuff–well, important for a six-year-old. Like, "Shoot! Math test tomorrow. Wish I had wings so I could fly and skip the class!" or, "Why wouldn't grandma allow me to play NES?! It's just right there and I can't reach it, so what's the point of having it at the first place?!" or, "Miss Linda (my second grade teacher, btw) is really nice, she shared her chocolate pudding with me today."
Then… Life happened. I graduated and went to junior high school. I thought, "Hey, I'm a big girl now. I don't need these dumb diaries any longer." Also, it was embarrassing to see those chubby handwriting and Hello Kitty stickers and ugly doodles I had made. There were 4 or 5 diaries I guess, and I burned them all.
Life continues. I am now an adult renting my own place, with bigger responsibilities, bills to pay and a career to build. It has never been easy for me for the last decade. I tend to be depressed easily. And get sick too often.
My fears accumulate over these years. Fear of losing more people I love. Fear of losing my job. Fear of not being accepted by other people. Fear of not being recognized for what I truly am. Fear of not being able to reach my dreams. Fear of not being good enough.
I am losing myself.
I am no longer happy nor brave as I used to be. I wish I could once again experience the happy life of a 6-year-old girl. She would cry for 10 minutes over not being allowed to play NES, and then cheerfully played Tamiya with her cousins. Her arrogant, snarky grandma? Totally forgiven. She had ranted about it on her diary anyway.
Recently I gave deeper thoughts into happiness. What can I do to be happy?
And then I stumbled upon Julia Cameron Live. Apparently it is the official website of Cameron's 20-year-old book The Artist's Way. Where the heck have I been?!
I have not read the book yet, but this particular chapter intrigues me more than the book itself: Morning Pages.
Quoted from the site:
Morning Pages are three pages of longhand, stream of consciousness writing, done first thing in the morning. There is no wrong way to do Morning Pages– they are not high art. They are about anything and everything that crosses your mind– and they are for your eyes only. Occasionally colorful, more often than not Morning Pages are negative, fragmented, repetitive or bland.
Excuse me. Wha…?!
That is actually… a diary. That is what I did when I was 6 years old!
Here I am, sitting and thinking that writing diary is dumb, silly, for kids only, while out there a famous lady–who happens to be Martin Scorcese's ex wife, btw–gains millions of dollars from the royalty of her book encouraging people to do it. And, apparently, more than a million people read it already. Including Mötley Crüe's Nikki Sixx!
That is it. I am going back to
diary Morning Pages! It has to be my new routine. I want to be as happy as that cute 6-year-old girl from the past!
What about you? Do you keep a diary or a journal? Or, perhaps, do you think it is for kids only?

Arrives in 3-7 Business Days
This comprehensive introduction to probability and statistics will give you the solid grounding you need no matter what your engineering specialty. Through the use of lively and realistic examples, the author helps you go beyond simply learning about statistics--you'll also learn how to put the statistical methods to use. In addition, rather than focusing on rigorous mathematical development and potentially overwhelming derivations, Probability and Statistics for Engineering and the Sciences emphasizes concepts, models, methodology, and applications that facilitate your understanding.
About This Edition
This market-leading text provides a comprehensive introduction to probability and statistics for engineering students in all specialties. Proven, accurate, and lauded for its excellent examples, Probability and Statistics for Engineering and the Sciences evidences Jay Devore's reputation as an outstanding author and leader in the academic community. Devore emphasizes concepts, models, methodology, and applications as opposed to rigorous mathematical development and derivations. Aided by his lively and realistic examples, students go beyond simply learning about statistics; they also learn how to put statistical methods to use.
New Features
- More than 40 new examples and 100 new problems were carefully researched and written using the most up-to-date real data.
- Chapter 1, "Overview and Descriptive Statistics," contains a new subsection, "The Scope of Modern Statistics," which describes and exemplifies how statistics is used in modern disciplines.
- A significantly revised and simplified Chapter 8, "Tests of Hypotheses Based on a Single Sample," also has a new subsection entitled "More on Interpreting P-values."
- Wherever possible throughout the book, the language has been tightened and simplified to improve clarity.
Additional Features
- "Simulation Experiments" help students gain an understanding of sampling distributions and the insight they provide, especially when a derivation is too complex to carry out.
- Strong computer coverage, especially with ANOVA and regression, is supported by an abundance of computer output from SAS and MINITAB and coverage of computer methods. Inclusion of JavaTM Applets from Gary McClelland's Seeing Statistics, specifically designed for this calculus-based text, allows students to experience statistics firsthand.
- Sample exams help students build confidence and master concepts prior to taking class exams; the glossary of symbols/acronyms, which includes text page references, is another useful study aid.
- Several exercises refer to material covered in earlier sections and chapters, allowing students to more easily see the connections between concepts.
- Virtually every example and exercise has a real-world context. Real data in exercises and examples stimulate students' interest and enhance their comprehension of concepts.
- Notable content includes a strong emphasis on the role that variation plays in statistics, emphasis on the nature of variation in the slope estimate in simple linear regression, and inclusion of a detailed description of pooled t procedures to provide a balance between un-pooled and pooled analyses.

We definitely enjoyed a couple of warm days, but the crazy rain weather is back. As for this post, I don't know what's crazier- the pirates or the seas!
We definitely enjoyed a couple of warm days, but the crazy rain weather is back. As for this post, I don't know what's crazier- the pirates or the seas!
The sun's shining so bright today, so I think it's just proper to post something appropriate to the weather 🙂 I know I'm not the only one missing the sea ❤
Believe me when I say, London is more MORE than this set, but given the number of desserts and space that we have, we had to limit our imagination to what we know of whatever's in London which are the guards, black cabs, brick structures, London, Big Ben, the Harrod's bear, Underground, red bus and of course, never EVER forget- the queen 🙂
This will probably the only time in my life I'd be able to do this ———– #WOD
When I received this order, the client was thinking more of muscles and weights around, and stuff. I suggested to make him do pull-ups! WHAT WAS I THINKING?
So after I vomit that idea, I had to think of how to make this guy float! It's not the first time I've done it, but this had a man, a cross fit coach who had to be upright while doing pull-ups! So there was the structure of the bars, and the skeleton of the little body and such. Twas so much fun and crazy and challenging, but hey, had loads of fun 😀
The funnest part about Alice in Wonderland cakes is being able to go crazy and even crazier on ideas! You can basically put anything whimsical on a cake, making possibilities endless!
This cake pretty much sums up how we perceive Alice in Wonderland, and everything we love about that story 😀
If you want to know what happens when giraffes and squirrels are given spaghetti, donuts given to foxes, and rainbow cakes given to lions, you will enjoy these funny little creatures that have gone wild in Rocco's party!
Styled by the super duper nice Kaye Garcia, this party was such a beautiful oxymoron of party animals in a chic setting of browns, greens and whites.
Whoa, that's a lot of photos. Anyway, we had so much fun making up the characters of these cheeky animals, and we were so blessed with Rocco's mom, Debbie, who just let our imagination run wild for Rocco's cake! Thanks again Debbie and Kaye! Loved, LOVED working with you and your awesome party theme 😀
Like I said last week, here's a nursery rhyme inspired cake! And yes, the baby is hanging on a tree ❤
When my client requested for a nursery rhyme cake, the first thing that came into my mind was a cow jumping over a moon. But then, she wanted specifically, Rock-a-bye, baby theme, and I LOVE that she said she wanted something for a baby girl, but not pink!
So there, no pink, but I tried to make it as girly as I possibly could. Well, I guess without pink, I had to focus on making it adorable 😀
And yes, I couldn't stop at a baby on a cradle, so to add more life, I put these curious little critters to entertain the little baby! After all, it's kinda boring when you're hanging up on a tree.
So there 😀 This, I think stands as one of my favourites because it's so simple ❤
Next week, I think we'll rest from tree cakes. I'm still thinking of what to post, but I have a feeling, Imma choose something bippity boppity boo. 😀
'til next week!

New Mob Wives star, Alicia DiMichele, not only has to worry about facing time in jail, but it seems she is also having to deal with being accused of cheating on her mafia husband with a Philadelphia restaurateur! Alicia denied the affair to Radar Online, and shares with them how she has been dealing with everything, and how she would like to focus on keeping her family together and be a role model to her children. Check it out
On copyright violation charges against her, Alicia says,
"They dropped all the charges for that. Just to clarify, they were handmade items. We weren't trying to sell something that was said to be Gucci that wasn't." Alicia adds this case is now dismissed.
When asked about doing the show, despite her anxiety,
"Tell my own story. That was my decision because for me to be portrayed as who I am, you need to see me as me and that's with my children." Her husband will not be featured on the show, but her kids will appear on camera.
As for how she likes being on reality TV and what its been like, she continues,
"Renee (Graziano) and Big Ang have known my husband for 30 years and I just met them coming on the show, but the person that I'm most compatible with is Drita (D'avanzo) because I feel like her situation with her husband four years ago is me with mine now."
"And Natalie (Guercio) is from Philly. We run in the same circles and she's a great girl. But there's some people you have more things in common with than others, though."
Even thought Alicia is going through this difficult time, she says her children are very close with her husband and they visit him often, and she describes herself as family oriented.
"At this time," Alicia says she is not divorcing Edward and she does not regret marrying him because of her children.
"I don't like the situation that I'm obviously placed in now, and I don't think I knew everything I know now. Of course if I did, my decision — I just don't see myself as the typical mob wife. I'm the soccer mom."
Alicia also shares what she hopes to accomplish on the show, she adds,
"I'm just really trying to show how I'm trying to survive with my three kids while my husband is incarcerated and I could possibly be facing jail time. I just want to be some kind of inspiration to my children or towards someone else watching."
I cannot imagine what she is going through. I hope for the sake of her children she doesn't get sentenced to prison. What are your thoughts on what Alicia had to say? Do you think she will serve time?

Directors Note December
Hi all,
I'm looking forward to our Winter Performance on December 10th. I hope to see you there, and I wish
you a very joyous and safe holiday season.
TerraNova results arrived last week, but we are still waiting on the results from the state assessments given last April.
Below are tables and charts that outline student progress as measured by the TerraNova 3 assessment. The table provides you with the aggregate mean of the National Percentile (NP) and Scaled Score (SS). The national percentile is determined by the pool of students taking the exam any given year. As this pool of students changes each year, fluctuations in the NP are common. The scaled score is based on the number of questions a student answered correctly, and is a better reference to measure actual student achievement. A decrease in the scaled score from one year to the next indicates less than one year of academic growth. An increase in the scaled score from one year to the next indicates more than one year's academic growth. This year, many of our scaled scores have decreased. This is largely due to a change in the assessment period. In the past this assessment has been given in April. This year it was given in October, which means a decrease of instruction of six months. This change was implemented because of the change in the state-testing calendar.
Any one assessment can only give us a snap shot of how a student or group of students is performing on any given day. There is always the chance that other influences can impact a student's performance negatively. It is for that reason that I prefer to look at patterns.
The table below provides mean grade level scaled score for the most recent assessment windows.
Individual reports will be sent home in your child's planner or Friday folder on Friday, December 4. If you have questions regarding your child's performance, please contact your child's teacher. If questions remain, please feel free to contact me.

for HIF-1 alpha antibody (mAb) (Clone ESEE122)References
HIF-1 (hypoxia inducible factor 1, alpha subunit, MOP1, PASD8, bHLHe78, PAS domain-containing protein 8) is a transcription factor found in mammalian cells cultured under reduced oxygen tension that plays an essential role in cellular and systemic homeostatic responses to hypoxia. HIF1 is a heterodimer composed of an alpha subunit and a beta subunit. The beta subunit has been identified as the aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (ARNT). This gene encodes the alpha subunit of HIF-1. Overexpression of a natural antisense transcript (aHIF) of this gene has been shown to be associated with nonpapillary renal carcinomas. Two alternative transcripts encoding different isoforms have been identified.

T.I., like most of black America, doesn't like Donald Trump. In March he went on a Twitter rant, saying, "[F—k] you" and "[F—k] what you stand for." During a recent interview with DJ Whoo Kid on Shade 45's Whoolywood Shuffle, Tip said that the Donald bore an uncanny resemblance to Jabba the Hutt.
"What's the big blob [motherf—cker] in Star Wars? He looks like a big pile of [s—t]," T.I. said. DJ Whoo Kid jumped in to help name the Star Wars villain, and T.I. continued, "Yeah, with that little bitty arms. Yeah, that's what this [motherf—ker] look like."
T.I. also said that Trump looked like Dr. Evil—the villain in the Austin Powers series—the hairless cat.
But Tip didn't let his hate for Trump spoil his broader message of encouraging kids to get out and vote.
"Not voting is like voting for Trump, and I just can't go for that one," he said. "If you can't think about doing what's best for the country, well, think about what's worse for the country and then just go against that. You got to do something. Doing nothing should not be a call to action ever."

My third visit to L'Ambroisie (you could find the reviews of my earlier visits at the blog archive), the place that arguably presenting French haute cuisine at its finest, took place at early Feb '10 - finally I had a chance to dine here during the black truffle season. In L'Ambroisie, many things simply would never change: there are always two kinds of bread (white and wheat), one will start the meal with its wonderful gougeres served with delicate cheese and minimum salt, and the decor in the dining room was exactly the same as my first visit in the summer of '07, perhaps it's always been this way for a longer period. Except one thing change: Pierre Lemoullac, a legendary sommelier and restaurant manager, resigned at the end of 2009. It seemed trivial, but somehow I felt that something was missing. It would never be the same. It sounded funny since my previous interaction with Monsieur Lemoullac was rather minimal, but his presence made a difference. To me, he's L'Ambroisie's ambassador in the dining room, the same way Bernard Pacaud is the true master in the restaurant's kitchen. It looked as if half of the restaurant's soul was gone, but I think Pascal could take the baton and carry on. The current sommelier is Christophe - he's been with the restaurant on my previous visit as well.
I observed that the maitre d' always promoted two things: langoustine with curry sauce and chocolate tart for the dessert. No wonder these dishes became more and more famous though I don't think they're the best items L'Ambroisie could offer. However, this time I knew exactly what I wanted and did not really bother to consult with him for my main three dishes. Here are my dishes,
Crème de chataignes (Chesnuts cream) - Warm chesnut veloute served with truffle cream and foie gras. Luckily, these three ingredients were prepared in light flavors
Velouté de cresson aux noix de Saint-Jacques, emulsion de truffe noire (Scallop in the cream of watercress and walnut served with black truffle emulsion) - The tender scallop is barely heated to retain its texture and sweetness. The black truffle was not that strong but it gave smoky and earthy sensation; the watercress veloute is rather thick and focused
Fricassée de homard sauce civet, purée Saint-Germain (Lobster tail fricassee served with stew sauce of smashed Saint-Germain peas) - A beautiful presentation. Lobster tail cooked here is consistently firm, sweet and meaty while the claw is more tender. The peas puree balanced the strong flavor generated from the red wine reduction - rather intense, quite typical for winter dish
Feuilleté de truffe fraîche "Bel Humeur", frisée à la crème (Golden brown puff pastry of fresh black truffle served with truffle puree and mache salad) - Thick black truffle sandwiching a tranche of foie gras. The airy pastry is excellent; the truffle including its puree is solid, smoky and earthy while the duck liver is relatively light. The zingy and sour salad is useful to bring down the truffle's richness
Biscuit fondant tiède, sorbet à la mandarine (Warm melting biscuit served with mandarin sorbet) - The tasty biscuit is slightly eggy, hence tasted like souffle. The tangerine sorbet is great - balancing some sweet and sour flavor. A good recommendation by monsieur Pascal, especially after eating truffe "bel humeur"
Confiseries et friandises (Sweets and petit four) - Canele (decent), Opera, Banana biscuit and excellent home-made dark chocolates
For this visit, I had a half-bottle of 2005 Mersault to accompany my entire meal. The wine was not really dry with medium aroma of citrus and light golden color; it has some apple and peach taste with a nice and balanced finish. The reservation at L'Ambroisie is relatively easy; similar to my previous two visits, only about another dozen of people filling its dining room. Despite being not so busy in general, it is still one of the ultimate places to eat for gourmands, especially during the truffle season. There are several wonderful dishes executed precisely with Tuber Melanosporum supplied by monsieur Pebeyre. As a matter of fact, this was my best meal at L'Ambroise, possibly because they know and understand me better. Service wise, it was a standard one (professional) within 2-3 star institutions, but do not expect enthusiastic and guest-is-king type of hospitality that's consistently offered at Le Meurice, Ducasse or L'Arpege. After visiting this place at a few different seasons, I'm not sure if I will return here in the near future since I've tried nearly all of its delicious dishes. Bernard Pacaud, the living legend of French gastronomy, is not getting any younger. If any gourmand has not been here, come before he retires and focus on the food - you will enjoy it. Don't be too picky about the service and ambiance (I enjoyed the atmosphere though). It's not my favorite, but certainly in my top 3 or 5. Below is the link for the pictures,
Food (and Wine): 98 pts
Service (and Ambiance): 93 pts
Overall: 96.5/100

Merry Christmas vs. Happy Holidays
Salutations. First, and foremost, I hope that everyone out there enjoys the blessings of our Lord and Savior today… whether you celebrate Christmas, or something else. As I monitor the news I have noted that the "Merry Christmas vs. Happy Holiday" wars continue to escalate. Recently, a store owner posted "Merry Christmas" on her store … Read more

Besides papakhi, which is still worn by Cossacks, native peoples of Caucasus and Russian colonels and generals. This distinction is most seen in connection with religions aside from Christianity, many of which either require their adherents to put on hats always, or require all visitors to the place of worship to cover their heads.

Gratuitous Space Battles 2 (pc game)

- Digital Download (2)
There are 2 shops proposing this game for download at an average price of $ 9.99.
No classic box available at the moment.
Orders, captain?
With a title like this, you know pretty much what you're getting yourself into, and while this is a far cry from sci fi strategy games like Master of Orion, it makes for an entertaining, if flawed, time. The game has a great Star Trek-style vibe and provides plenty of fast paced space battles with ample opportunities for customization. This is less an RTS and more of a spaceship management/simulator which focuses on large scale battles that thrust you into the command seat and which gives you a great overview of the big picture. You get to design pretty much every aspect of your fleet, tailoring your ships to the way you want to play, kitting them out for a variety of a roles with an extensive array of weapons and hi-tech gadgets. Once you've got your fleet how you like it, it's then time to head into battle, and here you'll have to issue orders, create formations and generally keep an eye on pretty much every aspect of the battle in order to emerge victorious. The game manages to retain a fast pace though, and doesn't get bogged down in tedious details, and which makes for a mostly entertaining time thanks to the speed at which it plays. The visuals are pretty slick for the most part, and the screen gets full of explosions, missiles and effects, and which gives the game a great and very exciting feel. The interface might look daunting, but it's actually pretty easy to get to grips with, and there's a lot of fun to be had with playing around with all the ship details. There are a few minor issues with things like the enemy AI, but for the most part, this is a fun time.

Photographer's Note
Katmandu is a city brimming with stunning and historic buildings; none more so than Durbar Square, Patan. It is, in fact two cities divided only by the river Bagmati. On one bank stands Katmandu and on the other Patan. The Royal Square of Patan is a United Nations Word Heritage Site and deservedly so. The beauty of the many ancient temples is overwhelming.
Due, however, to the political instability of the country in recent times, many of the buildings are in a bad state of neglect. During the Middle Ages, Patan was a thriving merchant kingdom on the trade routes from India to China and Tibet. Its past wealth is reflected in the magnificence of its architecture.
This picture shows the steps of the Vishwanath Temple, built is 1627 and dedicated to the God Shiva. As well and being a repository of Narwi art and architecture, the square is a popular meeting place for local people, many of whom like to hang out their, meeting their friends or chatting in the shade.

Hello Kevin
I've been twice to Katmandu in the early 80's then again one more time in 2004 (just for 6 days without camera) and I have to say that I was again amazed by the beauty of the architecture in Durbar square and its environments.... On the way to Swayanbunath I found a lot of change and didn't like so much the new constructions...I was quite shocked with the river, the black thick mass, which smelled awful.
Good low POV showing these majestic sculptures and behind the architectural details of the temple with people adding life to your compo.
Good you opened a theme on Patan and I'm waiting to see more of your photos.
Have a nice day
Are you in Thailand?
riclopes (35577) 2007-06-04 2:15
Olá Kevin, good composition of the elephants and impressive architecture seen in the background. The people give scale and I supposed that the elephants are smaller than the real ones, although your low POV give them a more majestic look.

Hi Kevin,
It is amazing how these statues had withstood the ravages of time. I'm glad the people took some effort in preserving them as they are windows to the past. Well captured and good overall image quality. Well done! tfs
Stepan (27210) 2007-06-05 14:24
A typical tourist scene and mood... Not the best pic you posted, but a "daily travel" one. And I must admit I like that...
oochappan (4880) 2007-06-06 16:35
I prefer this one with the good perpspective on the contrasting elephants towards the red of the temples and the key is the man just peeping out from behind the statues, don't be afraid of colors/contrast Kevin, the counter-weight and extra dimension of a colored shot but keep colors balanced harmonious.

In the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, local food networks, including local fisheries, need your help. Last week, we spread the word about funding disaster relief efforts for fisheries and fishery-related businesses.
Now, with more news from the coastal zone trickling out, there's more that consumers can do.
Village Fishmonger NYC works with fishermen in the tri-state area [New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut]; the hardest hit docks and shellfisheries (in New Jersey) have suffered significant losses. Our latest intelligence indicates that nearly all New Jersey shellfish hatcheries have sustained damage; two of the largest have near-100% loss in infrastructure.
There is good news for many of these baymen and shellfisheries – while Hurricane Sandy's waves, storm surges, and winds decimated docks, hatchery houses, power lines, and boats, early signs point to safe and secure clam and oyster beds. Rising sea waters during the storm insulated most of the clams and oysters from the worst of the storm's effects. As such, we're hopeful that once these aquaculture and shellfishery operations get their docks and processing facilities rebuilt, the fishery will bounce back!
Fin Fish
For the finfisheries, many coastal New Jersey and New York docks also sustained heavy damage, especially to processing and shipping facilities. Even the operations that survived relatively unscathed are being impacted by the loss of power, difficult-to-find fuel, and inaccessibility of nearby urban markets. To make matters worse, many docks are in areas with travel restrictions and no power – making it impossible to even start bringing in supplies for rebuilding.
New Jersey's commercial fishermen landed and processed seafood valued at almost $200 million dollars at the dock in 2011. These landings generated more than $1 billion dollars in economic activity for the state, so the immediate and long-term effects of the storm will have major impacts on local economies.
Just this week, the Garden State Seafood Association (GSSA), which represents the interests of most New Jersey commercial fishermen, asked Governor Chris Christie to declare a fishery disaster – a move that would free up significant federal funds for rebuilding.
How To Help
Overall, we suggest you buy local – fish, produce, beverages, and fashion.
Fish. Perhaps the best way to help coastal fisheries is to boost the demand for their products. When out at restaurants in storm-ravaged areas, ask for local fish and that day's catch. Also, check out community supported fisheries (like ours!), where you can order for a few months' fish in advance – a move that can (depending on the CSF) result in the fishermen getting more capital to start repairs with. Find out more about CSFs here, and search for CSFs near you here.
Produce, Beverages, Fashion. With Thanksgiving coming up, besides the traditional turkey, think about adding seafood to the mix so that the very act of getting together for a meal with family and friends can be a regenerative gesture for whole communities. Along those lines, look for local farm-to-table CSAs (community supported agriculture) near you, where you can get farm-fresh veggies. Also, spending money at local craft breweries and wineries in storm-torn regions will directly send funds to those that need it most (and help support new small businesses). Finally, there are fashion options – t-shirt companies and clothing sites that are giving proceeds to local communities.
We ask you to please take a moment to think about how you might contribute to these local businesses and communities in the upcoming weeks and months. Donations to The Red Cross and The Food Bank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties are a good place to start for overall aid to the areas affected by Sandy.
Village Fishmonger is a New York City-based seafood start-up that brings local, responsibly harvested seafood to NYC direct from fishermen and baymen from the tri-state area. Learn more about the Village Fishmonger CSF and seafood sourcing at www.VillageFishmongerNYC.com.

MIAMI COUNTY — A Casstown man was taken into custody on Wednesday morning after being charged with the rape of a minor.
The Miami County Sheriff's Office charged Norman E. Smock, 81, of Casstown, with first-degree felony rape on Wednesday.
According to Chief Deputy Steve Lord, the victim was a child under the age of 13 years old. The assault reportedly took place in Casstown.
The time frame of when the assault occurred is unclear, as the sheriff's office is still investigating this incident. Smock was incarcerated in the Miami County Jail at approximately 9 a.m. on Wednesday, as detectives with the sheriff's office continue to investigate Smock's alleged actions. There may be additional charges as the investigation continues.
Smock also faces an unrelated citation of minor misdemeanor possession of marijuana.
Smock is continuing to be held in the Miami County Jail as he awaits arraignment.
Anonymous tips can be submitted on the sheriff's office website at www.miamicountysheriff.org/contact-us-1/tips. The non-emergency line to have a deputy dispatched is (937) 440-9911.

I have recently found a resonably priced senior walk in tub....similar to the ones ed mcman sells on tv...Ed's tubs are $15,000 installed.
Ive gotten calls for them over the years and the lowest price tub i could find by a major manufacturer was $7,500...after the plumbing, drywall repair,tile, flooring it would end up being $11,000 range...not much of an improvement on $15,000
now a homeowner found one for $3,000 range...he ordered it and i will be installing it.....The brochure sounds great...its 200 lbs, is built on a stainless steel stand and is made in the USA...seems very well thought out and very easy to install.. If i team up with a remodeler and an electrician i can offer these in a complete package deal for around $6,500 range....now thats a significant savings and many seniors can afford $6500
my question is where is the best place locally to advertise??
magazines? newspapers? a billboard? back door of my van?
right now i dont know the quality of the tub, but i should be installing it next week....before i go forward with any advertising i want to call this customer back in 2-3 months to make sure it hasnt fallen apart. I may have them order it direct and lose the markup just to avoid the liability on the actual tub.

House Passes Foreign Relations Authorization Bill Larded with Negative Provisions
McArthur, Shirl, Washington Report on Middle East Affairs
House Passes Foreign Relations Authorization Bill Larded With Negative Provisions
Shirl McArthur, a retired foreign service officer, is a consultant in the Washington, DC area.
The Foreign Relations Authorizations Act for fiscal years 2002 and 2003, H.R. 1646, which the full House passed on May 16, included several provisions designed to further erode American interests in the Middle East. Before discharging the bill to the full House, the International Relations Committee inserted a section that effectively recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel by requiring that (a) the U.S. Consulate in Jerusalem be under the supervision of the U.S. ambassador to Israel; (b) any official U.S. government document that lists countries and their capital cities identify Jerusalem as the capital of Israel; and (c) a passport, registration of birth, or certificate of nationality of a U.S. citizen born in Jerusalem shall, upon the request of the citizen, record the place of birth as Israel. In addition, the section includes a fourth clause urging the president "to immediately begin the process of relocating the United States embassy in Israel to Jerusalem."
While the Jerusalem provisions were no surprise, it was not expected that International Relations Committee ranking Democrat Tom Lantos (CA) would introduce an amendment seeking to punish Lebanese educational institutions and non-governmental organizations for the activities of Hezbollah on the border with Israel. Lantos' amendment would terminate military aid (only about $600,000) to Lebanon until the Lebanese armed forces are deployed along the border and have controlled Hezbollah's activities against Israel. If this doesn't happen within six months, the $35 million or so in economic aid would be suspended.
Responding to a question during his testimony before the House Foreign Operations Appropriations Subcommittee, Secretary of State Colin Powell publicly opposed the amendment, pointing out the educational and humanitarian nature of the majority of U.S. aid to Lebanon. In a subsequent letter to Rep. Joe Knollenberg (R-MI), Powell went further, saying, "If enacted, this amendment would severely impede our ability to pursue critical U.S. policy objectives in Lebanon and the region."
In addition, Reps. John Dingell (D-MI) and Darrell Issa (R-CA) sent one letter and Reps. Ray LaHood (R-IL) and Nick Rahall (D-WV) another, with individual letters sent by Reps. Sonny Callahan (R-AL), Marcy Kaptur (D-OH), Knollenberg, and John Sununu (R-NH) to their colleagues urging them to vote against the amendment. Dingell, Issa, LaHood and Rahall, plus Reps. David Bonior (D-MI) and Jim Kolbe (R-AZ), all spoke against the amendment on the floor of the House. In the end, however, loyalty to Israel won out over humanitarian and U.S. national interest concerns, and the amendment passed by a vote of 216 to 210. (Those representatives who voted against the amendment are listed below.)
That, however, was not the initial tally. At the conclusion of the voting, but before it was officially recorded, the totals stood at only 206 for the amendment and 220 against. But then, 17 members announced that they were switching their votes from no to yes. They were partially offset by seven members who switched from yes to no, resulting in a net gain of 10 votes for the amendment.
One can only speculate about what or who caused those particular 17 members to abandon principles, but some members, who cannot be named, complained privately about the inordinate amount of pressure AIPAC was exerting to gain passage of this amendment. The 17 who switched from no to yes were Reps. Roscoe Bartlett (R-MD), Corrine Brown (D-FL), Dave Camp (R-MI), Howard Coble (R-NC), Randy Cunningham (R-CA), Elton Gallegly (R-CA), Virgil Goode (I-VA), Luis Gutierrez (D-IL), Melissa Hart (R-PA), Van Hilleary (R-TN), David Hobson (R-OH), Chip Pickering (R-MS), Christopher Shays (R-CT), Louise Slaughter (D-NY), Thomas Tancredo (R-CO), David Vitter (R-LA), and Greg Walden (R-OR). …

Have to admit..Not cm, but..I did p*** in my ex-wife's one friend's coffee mug and travel cup for fun. She hated me and I was no fan of hers, so..I saw it as payback for being a b****. She'd pick my ex up for work some mornings when they worked together, and I'd play the "good husband", preparing coffee for them both. Sneak the friend's cup or mug into small bathroom off the kitchen, and let loose in it. B**** never knew.
sick f***.

Legendary Seattle rock band SOUNDGARDEN in the group's only U.S. festival appearance of the year is the first headliner to be announced for the 2011 The Voodoo Experience Presented By Stephen Rehage. Voodoo the final musical celebration of the annual U.S. music festival season is set to take place in New Orleans' City Park, Friday, October 28, Saturday, October 29 and Sunday, October 30.
The lineup for Voodoo's 13th consecutive year will be unveiled in the months leading up to the Halloween weekend celebration. The talent will once again feature top-tier and innovative artists from a variety of musical genres, plus reflect the multitude of cultures that define this historic and beloved American city. This year's Voodoo will continue to grow its dedicated dance space, Le Plur, which was reintroduced to concert-goers last year and quickly became a fan favorite.
This year's Voodoo will once again partner with Gingerbread Shed Corporation, producers of the powerful Elevate platform for festival ticketing, gate management, and advanced distribution and marketing solutions for their ticketing needs.
Tickets for the 2011 Voodoo are available now at this location utilizing Elevate's easy online shopping experience with helpful customer service that allows buyers to print their own tickets. A limited number of pre-sale tickets are available through June 8 at these prices: three-day weekend GA tickets are $125; LOA Lounge VIP three-day pass are $375 and LOA Lounge VIP three-day pass with parking are $425. In addition, concert-goers can utilize the Voodoo EZ Pay on any ticket purchase over $300. EZ Pay features three equal layaway payments the first deduction will be made the day of purchase with two subsequent payments to process on the same day of each subsequent month until the ticket(s) are paid in full.
Voodoo annually takes place in historic City Park, amid lush lagoons, bayous and one of the largest collections of mature oak trees in the world. The 1,300-acre park the region's principal recreation site that attracts over 7 million visits each year has been home to the Voodoo since its 1999 debut, with the exception of 2005 Voodoo which was displaced by the city's hurricane damage.

A recent conversation on Twitter got me thinking about how I find myself straddling the line between what folks might call "conservative" and "progressive."
Now, my definition of "conservative" here is more literal than political. I'm not saying that I am conservative in the sense of identifying as a political – whether social or fiscal – conservative. The entire American conservative political movement is fairly repulsive to me. Listening to the local evangelical (read: baptized American political conservative) radio station on my morning drive confirms this regularly.
But I am conservative in that I believe in an actual baseline for human values. In other words, I believe that there is a "good" that really exists and is binding on all people throughout all time. There is certainly some relativity in how that good is perceived and applied, but the baseline is always there. In one sense, the calling of each generation is to keep society tethered to this baseline – to conserve, as it were, the values that make us decent human beings and not baseless biological blips on the radar of time.
Jesus, of course, defined this baseline as "love" – for God and for neighbor. Love is that which anchors us to human meaning by demanding honesty, generosity, mercy, equality, and safety in all relationships with all people. Love is manifest and applied at individual, interpersonal, communal, and societal levels. Love is that which makes the human divine and fulfills all divine law. Love makes life sane and humane.
But this kind of conservatism actually leads to my progressive bent. Whereas there is a baseline for human values that make life sane and good, there is also constant progression in how to best apply those values to life in each generation. Thus, there is actual scientific progress. There is actual medical progress. There is actual therapeutic progress. There is even actual theological progress! Certainly, not all that claims to be progress is, in fact, progress, and what is actual progress must be discerned and proven in each generation. But the philosophical position that would make all progress provisional and unreal is a hideous one indeed. Abolition is progress. The granting of civil rights is progress. Every successful vaccine or treatment is progress. Protection from oppression and abuse is progress. A Jesus-centered interpretation of Scripture is progress.
That is also not to say that progress is perfect. By its very nature it must be improved upon by further progress. And some progress is, in fact, a correction of "progress" gone wrong by returning to the way the baseline was better applied in generations past (perhaps much theological progress fits into this category). But to deny that progress has been made, or to obscure the reality of healing, safety, and empowerment for those formerly sick, endangered, or oppressed is nothing more than philosophical hogwash. Embodied reality is the place in which both the baseline of human values – summarized as love – and the progress of application are clearly seen.
The child finally protected from the sexual predator and the woman finally treated as an equal have no misgivings about these clear embodied realities.
And they have no time for fanciful philosophical muddiness.
Ok, philosophers and realists alike…Opine!

New Construction market report from Business Monitor International: "Kazakhstan Infrastructure Report Q3 2012"
Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/20/2012 -- BMI View: Kazakhstan's construction industry is forecast to post strong growth in 2012, driven by demand for the country's resources. Year-on-year (y-o-y) growth is at 6.0% for 2012 rising as high as 9% by 2014. The industry value is expected to increase from US$15.2bn in 2012 to US$29.2bn by the end of our forecast period in 2016. Despite strong growth figures, long-term political stability does raise some potential issues for the country.
Key developments in Kazakhstan's infrastructure industry include:
- The manufacturing division of General Electric has signed a memorandum of understanding to build a US$90mn diesel manufacturing plant in Astana, Kazakhstan. GE Transportation will undertake the project as a joint venture, in conjunction with KTZ and TransmashDiesel. The plant is to produce 400 Evolution Series engines annually, with operations to begin before the end of 2013.
- The World Bank has announced that it will provide a US$1.068bn loan to Kazakhstan's government for its East-West roads project. This will see the construction of a new road between Almaty and Khorgos that will be 13% shorter than the existing one. The project aims to improve transportation along the Western Europe-Western China road corridor, thereby facilitating trade.
- Kazakhstan's government has announced that it intends to collaborate with Malaysia to develop the former country's infrastructure. Work in the pipeline comprises public transport facilities and 20 new hospitals.
View Full Report Details and Table of Contents
While we acknowledge its vast economic potential and the concurrent opportunities for investors, we remain concerned over Kazakhstan's long-term political stability. Political power is concentrated in the hands of the 72-year-old president, Nursultan Nazarbayev, and the country's investment appeal could be undermined if no clear process for his succession materialises.

Smart pigs amaze us but we eat them anyway
It's common to hear North American animal lovers express their horror at cultures that find eating dogs or cats acceptable. And, indeed, it is repulsive to see these sensitive, intelligent animals abused and raised for slaughter.
But two recent stories in the news highlight a double standard in attitudes about animals killed for food – at least for those who eat meat.
Media in the United Kingdom and around the world have been raving about the accomplishments of Louie the pig, who has amazed and amused the British public by learning how to compete in dog agility competitions. Louie has demonstrated intelligence and trainability on a par with his canine friends.
Meanwhile, two Dutch pigs called Rudi and Felix, are making a claim to fame for their therapy work in seniors' homes – a role also usually associated with service dogs. Again, media have lapped up the heartwarming story of clever and gentle pigs showing off their talent.
Of course, the intelligence of pigs has been well-established in scientific studies, and, like other animals, they can feel pain and suffer.
Yet pigs endure some of the worst treatment of animals raised for food. Hog barns house up to 5,000 pigs in crowded pens. Stress from overcrowding creates aggression and boredom, so most pigs have their tails cut off to prevent tail-biting. Breeding sows are confined for almost their entire reproductive lives in stalls that are just slightly bigger than the sows themselves. They eat, sleep, and defecate in the same space; their manure falls through slatted floors to a cesspool beneath.
So the next time you hear someone who loves bacon telling you how appalled they are about dogs being eaten in Korea, remind them of how we abuse, slaughter and eat intelligent, sensitive pigs by the million right here at home.

Bravo! More work needs to be done to bring attention to our hyprocritical views on meat-eating. We say we love animals, but we really only mean cats & dogs. Let's turn this hypocrisy around and go.veg.
I'm not completely on board the "cut meat from your diet" idea. However I do agree that the animals our food come from should be treated better and not tortured before slaughter (as in the Calgary Stampede). There are humane ways to slaughter animals. If I could I would rather raise my own meat but, like many, I live in an urban area.
Yes, to me eating dog, cat and horse meat is appalling, but in some countries it can be an acceptable source of food and sometimes the only source. I do not judge. All animals are intelligent to a degree (humans included). No one species deserves a pardon from the axe more than another.
Animals have been our source of food since the stone age. All humans are not going to become vegetarians and it's incredibly judgmental to say that because a person eats meat they don't care about animals. Rather than trying to save animals from inhumane existences one vegetarian at a time (which will take awhile and is unrealistic) how about boycotting the industries that require such mass produced animal meat, (fast food chains, mass producers of meat products, etc…). There's much more you can do as well with a bit of research. Just find out where your meat comes from and support those that have humane practices in place.
I whole-heartedly agree with your opinions. I too care about animal welfare but am not a vegetarian nor a vegan. What I am against is factory farming and the awful conditions that this food-making system imposes on animals bred for food. I think as a society though we do need to reduce the amount of meat we eat as to produce meat in a humane, free range, organic way would take us all to reduce the amount we eat.
My main issues with vegetarianism are that we feed our pets meat so we have to kill some animals for food irrespective of our diets. Also, I personally feel much better on a diet that includes meat as my year as a veggie testifies to. What we need to do is educate society as to the terrible conditions surrounding our current habits and how they are degrading and harmful to animals, ourselves and the environment.
Not only are sows kept in restrictive confinement the majority of their lives, while pregnant they are put on restricted diets- up to 60% less than when lactating meaning they are continually hungry throughout pregnancy. This is done to save money. The rations they are fed are consumed within minutes, leaving them with feeling hungery and with nothing to do for the next twelve hours, depsite having evolved to forage for at least eight hours a day. As a consequence they develop behavioural abnormalities called sterotypies as they try to cope with the constant boredom and hunger.
Its so easy to leave meat out our diets and you can be much healtheir if you do. Recent meta analyses of studies of meat eating and bowel cancers in the US, Europe, Japan and South Korea found a direct link between how much meat you eat and the risk of developing bowel cancer. The only humane meat is the muscle on the living animal. Unlike carnivourous animals, humans do not need to eat meat to survive and it is completely possible to eat a balanced, nutritious diet which doesn't involve meat. Boycotting industrial animal agriculture is a great place to start, but so many accreditation schemes run by industry are so watered down as to be little different to the regular systems.
I don't see anything humane about keeping an animal in life-long captivity, torture and killing it, before eating it. Sure there is "better," that hardly means it is good.
Animals evolved alongside us and have every right that we do to be here and to live out a proper life. Just because we evolved to use tools and brains, does not mean we should use them to hurt other species. In fact, we should be using our brains to make the world a better place (for us, for other species, for the planet. All of this can be achieved by going vegan).
I'm sorry, killing and eating is not caring. It is only taking a long time because people are so good at making excuses and convincing themselves that they are caring.

SYRACUSE — Starting Monday, viewers will be able to catch live, local television newscasts as early as 4am. CNY Central announced today that NBC 3 (WSTM) will expand its Today in Central New York by a full hour, starting at 4:00am. But there's a flip-side to the expansion: the station will no longer offer the noon newscast it had been simulcasting on NBC 3 and CBS 5 (WTVH).
The changes were announced tonight on the stations' early evening newscasts and online at CNYCentral.com. President and CEO Chris Geiger said "viewers are turning the television on earlier." The expansion of Today in Central New York will give WSTM the distinction of being the first broadcast outlet in Syracuse to get on the air with breaking news and severe weather. For now, that honor goes to ABC affiliate NewsChannel 9 (WSYR-TV), which begins The Morning News at 4:30am. Just a few years ago, both stations started their early morning newscasts at 5:00am.
Geiger explains the cancellation of the noon newscast is attributed to those early morning viewers "shifting to online and mobile news sites" during the middle part of the day. Another possible reason — though not mentioned in the stations' announcement — is the fact that having talent and crew start their day prior to 4:00am would mean an eight-hour workday ends before noon. At that point, producing a noon newscast would require the station to pay everyone overtime or add an additional shift of workers, a move which might not be cost-effective for a single, 30-minute newscast.
In place of the noon newscast, NBC3 will air Access Hollywood, while another syndicated infotainment program, Extra, will fill the timeslot on CBS5. According to the program schedule on CNYCentral.com, the shows will also continue to air in their current timeslots, at 7:00pm and 7:30pm respectively, on NBC3. Since both shows are produced on the west coast, we presume the noon timeslot will be a repeat of the previous day's program; the shows aren't typically completed in time for airing at noon eastern.
As of 9:00pm Wednesday, about a dozen viewers have posted comments below the CNYCentral.com article. So far, most of those comments seem to be split evenly between questioning if there's really a need for news to begin at 4:00am, and questioning the decision to cancel the noon newscast. One viewer who identified herself as an early riser did praise the additional morning hour, and said she wouldn't miss the noon show since she's at work at that hour. For those who will miss the lunchtime newscast on WSTM and WTVH, it appears NewsChannel 9 will be the only broadcast option for noon news as of next week.

Sableco Rocks!
They have a bunch of stuff and most of their prices are competitive with the lowest prices out there, and some a way lower. They are in the process of moving to a new location and will be offering many more items, including complete Rock River Arms rifles sometime in December. If their prices on rifles are like those on the complete uppers they sell they will be THE place to go for Rock River Arms stuff.
Now to my good news, I bought a Leupold Vari-X III 3.5-10x40 M1 Tactical Illuminated Duplex reticle NIB scope for $625 plus shipping, etc. It totalled to about $646! That's sweet. Scope arrived in the sealed Leupold box complete with warranty, instructions, etc. Best price I found elsewhere was around $850. Donnie had a few left when I ordered mine so jump on it now. These are the older version and the new replacements apparently have the brightness dial in a different location, identical otherwise.
Sableco gets an A+ from me.

They told me they were shipping my scope and rings out at least 10 days ago, and I don't have it yet.

Mine took about two weeks or so to get but it was just as described and for the price it was well worth the wait. They didn't charge my card until it shipped either

Well, I'll keep you posted.
What has me worried is they they haven't returned my two email in the last two days and it seems that their answering machine is full and no longer taking messages.
So far, my credit card has not been charged.

Have looked at their web site, they are in the process of moving. There is a notice on the home page to expect delays in answering emails and messages and such because of that.
No, I don't have any relations in any way with Sableco. I just went to their web site for first time following the link on the first post.

No worries Mikul
These guys are top notch and as someone mentioned before Sable Co. and RBPrecision (Donnie and Robert) are in the midst of a merge and setting up shop in a new location as we speak. They will open their doors Dec 2nd (Mon.). I can assure you that any delay was because of the chaos of the move and not shoddy service or shady business. If your order isn't resolved, call them first thing on Mon. Personally, I know things are busy for them because my friend and I have been to their new location several times and they are always balls to the walls busy perfecting the business. We haven't had much luck reaching them by phone recently either. I hate to tell you to be patient, but give them a couple more days of trying, till you write them off. I am sure after you explain the situation they will do anything reasonable to make it right. And, I'll remind them to check their emails on Mon. morning when I'm over there.

The scope finally arrived on November 25th.
I called SableCo repeatedly for two weeks prior and left several messages and e-mails which were never returned. I finally caught them at the office on November 15th, and they apologized profusely and said that they had not received the scope from Leupold and lost track of my order in the process. After he called his Leupold representative, he said it would arrive at SableCo the next day.
I mentioned that I wanted the rifle for a trip that I was taking and that I would be leaving on the 22nd. He said it would be there by that date. Needless to say, it wasn't, and I didn't have the rifle for my big shoot, much less in time to have it sighted in before I left.
The scope and rings are excellent. SableCo's prices are good even though they charge an extra fee for credit card orders. I would have sent a money order to avoid this extra cost, but I didn't want to delay my order. If I knew it was going to take 24 days, I could have saved myself 7 or 8 dollars.
Considering the extra wait that I had already gone through, they could have overnighted my order to me and I would have had it by the 19th at the latest.
I will consider other options when I order my next scope.

Parrot found the lecture on identity just too anthropomorphic.
Edna was on her way to the beach but there was something wrong…
Everyone was waiting to see what the pencil would do next, but the mouse was taking no chances.
Parrot was impressed by Cindy's command of the instrument but found it hard to follow her maudlin lyrics.
Edna and her new pet from Florida — Gastropodus Gigantus — had brought Parrot some kitty niblets, but neither Kitty nor the mouse were having any of it.
This sort of thing just wasn't right in Costa Rica.
He had thought they had been getting along fine.
