Munia birds rescued
June 15, 2010 Leave a comment
Coimbatore: Following a tip off from a nature enthusiast, Forest officials on Monday rescued four Munia birds (small finchlike Asian birds) from a person and fined him for the offence.
The team deputed by Conservator of Forests, Coimbatore Circle, R.Kannan and District Forest Officer, I. Anwardeen and led by Forester S.M. Natarajan apprehended P. Murugesan (35) of Dharmapuri, currently working in Tirupur, after he was found in possession of four birds belonging to Schedule IV of the Wildlife Protection Act.
Preliminary enquiries revealed that a house owner in his area in Tirupur gave the birds to Murugesan asking him to either free them or sell them. Murugesan was trying his luck to make some money by selling them.
The birds were found in iron cages.
Based on his information, Forest officials have asked the officials in Tirupur to ascertain the source of these birds from the house owner to track down the primary seller of Munia birds. Murugesan was fined Rs. 1,000 for the offence.

Finding Shelter is a new photography project of mine documenting our nation's amazing animal shelter volunteers, and the intimate bond they form with abandoned animals at shelters and rescue groups across the country. I have been photographing volunteers for the past year within California, and will be traveling coast to coast this fall to document over 150 more volunteers. This work plans to be released in a book in early 2016.
Finding Shelter is not a shelter dog project - it is a people project. It is a story about the symbiotic relationship animal shelter volunteers share with their canine and feline dependents, and the beautiful care-taking that happens between the two species. Each portrait is accompanied by a moving testimonial about why each individual gives themselves to such challenging and emotional work, telling a story that truly has not been told before.
The silent love a shelter dog gives to the human who cares for him is very powerful, which I believe makes shelters a place where humans and animals can heal together. Though many of my colleagues in the pet photography industry give back by photographing adoptable animals at shelters all around the country (an amazing way of increasing adoption rates, and such important work), there still remains a lack of discussion around the human side of the story. Volunteers carry an enormous weight on their shoulders, and deserve to be honored for their incredible dedication and hard work.
I truly believe that dog photography is simply a study of the human condition, and that animals shelters are a place where humanity thrives. My hope with Finding Shelter is to inspire more people to volunteer, adopt, and share their own story.

Almost 75% of workers live paycheck to paycheck, so you aren't alone if you are struggling to keep ahead of your bills.[1] X Research source Fortunately, financial peace of mind is closer than you might imagine. To give yourself some breathing room, create a budget and reduce your discretionary spending. Pay down debts with high interest rates, such as credit cards. Increase the money coming in by getting a part-time job and claiming all of your allowable tax deductions. Once you find your footing, invest in your future by saving for emergencies and your retirement.
Part 1 of 3:
Reducing Your Expenses
1Create a budget.[2] X Research source The only way to stop living paycheck to paycheck is to get your spending under control. You'll need to create a budget so that your income exceeds your expenses. Sit down and crunch the following numbers:
- Income. What do you bring in every month? Count your paycheck, as well as any retirement benefits, unemployment benefits, disability payments, child support, etc. that your spouse brings in. Add it all up.
- Fixed expenses. These are bills that cost the same amount every month: rent or mortgage, health insurance, car payment, etc. Total the amount.
- Discretionary spending. This is everything else you spend money on: groceries, entertainment, etc. The amount you spend will fluctuate from month to month.
2Cancel an unused gym membership. Ask yourself whether you are really using your gym membership.[3] X Research source If you only go a couple times a month, then you can easily cancel and find cheaper ways to stay in shape.
- Go running outside in the spring or summer, or join a walking club in your neighborhood.[4] X Research source
- Play tennis, basketball, or volleyball at public courts.
- Check how much it costs to join a community recreation center. Typically, it is much cheaper than to join a private gym.
3Cut your cable. More and more people are cutting the cord. Fortunately, there are alternatives to cable TV which will allow you to keep up with your favorite TV shows. Consider the following:[5] X Research source
- Hulu lets you watch current shows soon after they are broadcast. Pay $8 a month.
- For $20 a month, you can get Sling TV. The basic package includes more than 25 live channels, such as CNN, ESPN, and Disney.
- Check out videos from your library for free.
4Find a cheaper phone plan. You might be paying too much for your phone. Fortunately, there are new companies entering the market every year, and they offer rock bottom prices. Do some research online to see if you can find a cheaper plan.[6] X Research source
- To not get locked into a phone bill you can't afford, you should probably avoid cell phones that have contracts.
5Learn how to do things yourself. You pay other people to do all kinds of things you can do for free. Spend a weekend learning new skills that will save you money:
- Change the oil in your car.[7] X Research source Get a book like the Popular Mechanics Complete Car Care Manual and read it cover to cover.
- Cut your own hair. Buy scissors or an electric razor and give yourself a new haircut.
- Cook meals at home.[8] X Research source You can save money by not ordering take-out or eating at restaurants. Instead, get a cookbook and buy generic label goods.
6Consider downsizing. You can reduce fixed expenses also, but you'll probably have to downsize your life. For example, if you can't afford your mortgage or rent, then you should move into a smaller place.[9] X Research source If you really need to cut expenses, consider whether you can move back home or in with friends temporarily.
- Also think about selling your car if your car payment is too large. Instead, use public transportation or get an older model.
7Pay down your debts. High interest debt (like credit card debt) is probably costing you hundreds or thousands of dollars a year in interest payments. This is money you need if you are ever to build financial freedom. Accordingly, focus on paying down your debt as quickly as possible.
- If you have multiple credit cards, focus on paying off the one with the highest APR first. Pay the minimum on all cards, and apply extra amounts to the highest-interest card. Once you pay that one off, focus on the card with the next highest APR.[10] X Research source
- You might also consolidate your debts using a balance transfer. Many credit cards offer an introductory 0% APR for up to 12-18 months.
8Limit the money you spend on fun. You shouldn't stop spending altogether on luxuries. If you do, then you will probably stop following your budget and never stop living paycheck to paycheck. Instead, allocate a certain sum of money each month and put it in an envelope. Only use this money and stop spending on luxuries when it is gone.[11] X Research source
9Pay your bills immediately. People who live paycheck to paycheck often spend quite a bit of money on late fees. You can save money by paying your bills as soon as you receive them.[12] X Research source
- Once you've saved an emergency fund, you can devise a monthly routine for paying bills. For example, you might get paid twice in a month. Check the due dates on your bills and divide them in half.
- You might be able to get your credit card company to move the due date around a little. Call them and check.
10Carry only one credit card. Credit cards make spending too easy. To keep yourself from spending, carry only one credit card with you for emergencies.[13] X Research source Also make sure that it is a card with a low credit limit so that you don't rack up high charges if you do splurge.
- Alternately, you could carry a secured credit card. You deposit a sum of money on the credit card and then can spend only that amount.
Part 2 of 3:
Increasing Your Income
1Get a part-time job.[14] X Research source The more money you make each month, the easier it will be. Accordingly, consider part-time work. Even working 10 hours a week at $10 an hour nets you $100 a week. Before taxes, you'll make an additional $5,000 in a year. With that kind of money, you'll soon stop living paycheck to paycheck and instead begin building financial freedom.
- Part-time work isn't always possible if you have young children or are a single parent. However, there are many work-from-home options, such as writing freelance articles.
2Ask for a raise. Dedicate yourself to your job for the next six months. Show up on time and go the extra mile. At the end of the six-month period, ask your boss for a raise or a promotion.[15] X Research source
3Sell items you don't use. Now is the time to clean out your house and sell things you no longer use.[16] X Research source Divide objects into three piles and sell them where they are likely to get the most value:
- Larger items like furniture and bookcases can be sold on Craigslist. You'll be surprised at how many people contact you. Ask them to pay in cash and show up at your home to haul the items away.
- Smaller items worth $5-10 can be sold on eBay. This category includes things like hardback books, old DVD players, and smaller electronic items.
- Sell everything else in a yard sale or a garage sale. Pick a sunny day and paper the neighborhood with flyers.
4Get child support, if necessary. Your child's other parent is legally required to support their children, whether they want to be involved in the child's life or not. Accordingly, you should file for child support. Contact your local child support agency. They can find a missing parent, establish paternity, and sue to get child support payments.
- Look in your phone book or contact your state's Attorney General's office, which is responsible for establishing child support agencies. Also check this website: https://www.acf.hhs.gov/css/resource/state-and-tribal-child-support-agency-contacts. Click on your state.
- You can also file for child support on your own, but it's easier if you work with the child support agency. They charge only a small fee.
5Find government assistance. Depending on your income, you might qualify for government benefits, such as health insurance or food stamps. Investigate your options and contact the relevant government agency to check whether you qualify. Many working people qualify for help.
- For example, you can qualify for Medicaid health insurance if your income is sufficiently low. Contact your state's Department of Health and Human Services to check. Even if you don't qualify for Medicaid, you can buy health insurance on the government health exchanges. You might qualify for help paying your premium and any out-of-pocket expenses.[17] X Research source
- Some workers also qualify for food stamps. Generally, a single person will qualify if they make less than $1,287 each month in gross income, and a household with three people will qualify if they make less than $2,184.[18] X Research source
6Take all of your tax deductions. You can save big at tax time if you know which deductions you are entitled to take. Each deduction will lower the amount you must pay in taxes. Consider the following:
- Business owners who work from home can claim the home office deduction. You will qualify if you use a space in your home exclusively and regularly as your office.[19] X Trustworthy Source Internal Revenue Service U.S. government agency in charge of managing the Federal Tax Code Go to source
- Business owners can also deduct business expenses, so long as they are ordinary and necessary. An expense is ordinary if it is accepted and common in your business, and an expense is necessary if it is appropriate and helpful. Necessary expenses do not have to indispensable.[20] X Trustworthy Source Internal Revenue Service U.S. government agency in charge of managing the Federal Tax Code Go to source
Part 3 of 3:
Saving for Your Future
1Build an emergency fund. Financial experts encourage people to sock away at least six months of expenses in case of emergencies. If your car breaks down or if you lose your job, this money can tide you over. If possible, build up to twelve months of savings. Visit your nearest bank or credit union and open a savings account. You can also open an online savings account.[21] X Research source
- Start small. You might only have $5 a week to contribute to your emergency fund. However, at the end of the year, you'll have $260 saved. If possible, increase the amount you save each month by cutting expenses or increasing your income.
- Remember to start building your fund right away. Don't wait until you've paid off all of your credit card debt. Instead, you'll need a cash cushion right now. Contribute at least a little each pay period to your emergency fund.
2Start saving for retirement. Once you get some breathing room, you can begin to think about the future. Everyone can begin saving for their retirement. If your employer sponsors a retirement plan, then sign up. Some employers offer to match your contributions up to a certain amount.[22] X Research source
- If your employer doesn't offer a retirement plan, then you can buy your own. Open a traditional IRA and make pre-tax contributions. This will lower your overall tax burden.
- Also consider opening a Roth IRA. Although you have to pay taxes on your contributions, they will compound tax-free. When you reach age 59.5, you can withdraw without paying taxes on the income. You can also withdraw your contributions penalty-free (and tax-free) if you face a sudden cash crunch.[23] X Research source
3Handle sudden windfalls wisely. At some point, you might get an unexpected raise or a tax refund. In these situations, you need to avoid blowing all of the money on a trip to Vegas. Instead, do the following:
- Splurge no more than 10% on something fun. If you get a $2,000 rebate check, limit your spending to $200.[24] X Research source
- Use some of the money (30-40%) to increase your emergency fund if you don't yet have 12 months of expenses saved.
- Also funnel about 50% of the money to pay off debts. If your debts have all been paid off, then invest it in your retirement.

A changed to the advertised schedule: Pedro Almodovar's magnificient The Skin I Live In will replace the previously announced film, Snabba Cash.
Basically, Snabba Cash is being handled exclusively by The Weinstein Company and they've not replied to any of my emails to inquire about the rights to this film. And there appears to be no UK distributor or DVD contact for this film. It's a great film, but trying to chase the Weinstein Company about is tiresome. So, it's easier to replace it…
We're replacing it with Pedro Almodovar's brilliant The Skin I Live In, which reunites the director with Antonio Banderas, for the first time since 1990's Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!
Here is the trailer for The Skin I Live In:
The Skin I Live In is 15 cert and will be shown 20 May, 2012 at the Worcester Arts Workshop. The box office will open that evening at 7:00PM for a 7:30 film start. As always, Cafe Bliss will be open for pre-film drinks.

Trump Open to Hiking Gas Tax to Fund Infrastructure Package
When the issue of raising gas taxes arose at the start of the previous administration, President Obama made it clear that he would oppose raising the 18.4 cent per gallon federal gas tax, not increased since 1993 by President Bill Clinton. It violated his pledge not to raise taxes on the middle class.
While his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, repeated that pledge, candidate Trump did not. In fact, as Politifact acknowledges, "15 of the 17 GOP candidates had signed no-tax-hike pledges - not just the middle class but everyone." Jeb Bush and Donald Trump were the exceptions.
Damian Paletta, White House economic policy reporter for The Washington Post, reports on the May 1 Bloomberg interview on the issue of hiking the gas tax.
"It's something that I would certainly consider" [emphasis added], Bloomberg quoted Trump as saying. The president added that he would be inclined to back the idea "if we earmarked money toward the highways."
Paletta adds that the context of the remark was funding Trump's much touted $1 trillion infrastructure plan, few details of which have been released.
Aides have said the package would be financed by roughly $200 billion in federal money, with the rest coming from private financing. But Trump has also suggested that he could back a plan that received only federal support.
Heretofore, "federal support" meant general fund transfers which would would either be offset, or added to the growing federal deficit. Private funding has been widely interpreted to mean that user fees, such as tolls, would have to be charged, which would rule out many projects, such as rural roads.
Hiking fuel taxes to pay for infrastructure would allow for public financing without need to offset or add to the deficit, and provides an alternative, or supplement to "tax credits for developers," which Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) has stated he would not support.
Polling in January showed that "66 percent of those surveyed said they oppose a plan that would grant close to $140 billion in tax credits to investors who put their money into roads, bridges and transit in return for the right to impose tolls." However, that poll didn't ask how respondents would view increasing gas taxes to pay for those investments.
In the interview, Trump pointed to support by truckers' groups for raising fuel taxes (yes, even diesel taxes) provided funds are used for road infrastructure.
Trump released a one-page tax plan on April 26 that was silent on a gas tax, write the Bloomberg reporters who conducted the interview. They add:
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said Monday afternoon that Trump isn't specifically supporting an increase -- but the president is keeping an open mind about it "out of respect" for trucking-industry interests who Spicer said support an increase as a way to pay for needed road improvements.
Perhaps all this "consideration" was merely throwing a bone to the trucking industry, who are known to be staunch opponents of road tolls?

Students, staff and members of the community will celebrate the official opening of Beryl Ford Public School on June 5. The event will run from 6 to 8 p.m. and will include student performances and greetings from dignitaries, including the school's namesake Beryl Ford.
"We're all so excited to showcase our wonderful school to the community," says Connie Stella, principal at Beryl Ford Public School. "This is sure to be a special event, and I'm sure our parents and community partners will be impressed by the new facility, and the talent of our students and staff."
The school is named for long-serving trustee Beryl Ford, who is trustee for wards 7 and 8 in Brampton. Ford was first elected to the Peel District School Board in 1985. She served as vice-chair from 1991 to 1993 and chair from 1993 to 1998. Prior to becoming trustee, Ford worked as a library technician at Bramalea Secondary School in the early 70's. She became head secretary at Williams Parkway Senior Public School in 1976 and head secretary at Goldcrest Public School in 1983. In the fall of 2011, Ford was honoured for 40 years of service with the board. Ford has been honored with a Women of Achievement Award and more recently the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal for community service.
"I am so incredibly honoured for the chance to join the celebration at the opening of this beautiful school," says Beryl Ford, trustee. "I have been a trustee for over 28 years and in that time I have had many awards and honours —but none as great or a humbling as to have a school named for me."
Beryl Ford Public School opened its doors to students in September 2012. The school is located at 45 Ironshield Drive in Brampton.

As another stellar PAX show wound down this weekend, Sony completed a more-or-less clean sweep of industry show prerelease buzz for LittleBigPlanet. The construction/platformer/multiplayer collaboration defies all current genre (yours truly is calling it a "toybox" game) and is quick to make fans wherever it pops up. It dominated E3 "Game of Show" lists, was named Leipzig's Game of the Show, and popped in quite a few places at PAX, including the offbeat "How to Get Your Girlfriend into Video Games" panel.
Perhaps the most compelling argument for LBP is just how much stock Sony is putting in the game's all-things-to-all-people mascot, Sackboy. He's truly a modern icon for the consumer generated content era: a blank (albeit cute and cuddly) slate to take on whichever identity makes the most sense for your game. Whereas Mario (nee Jumpman) injected a little character into stacks of pixels nearly 30 years ago, Sackboy and his crew can be infused with all the personality you need. Sony's even releasing an 80G hardware bundle featuring LBP in Europe.
Perhaps most importantly, LBP is the latest in a line of unbelievably good titles that aim to occupy the space somewhere between a game and full-blown platform. Rock Band and later editions of Guitar Hero continue to deliver weekly content to suit a wide variet of tastes, from The Who to Nirvana song packs. Nintendo packed a robust level editor into the already-superb Super Smash Brothers Brawl, and the community still pumps out engaging level designs almost 6 months after its release. Soul Calibur IV is currently flying off the shelves, due in large part to one of the deepest create-a-character modes ever seen in a console brawler.
While it's true that these games rely heavily on the efforts of an engaged community, they also require a substantial commitment from developers. LBP developer Media Molecule has made it clear that they have no followup project in mind yet. For the months, maybe even years after it ships, they will be in the business of supporting and expanding LBP. And I applaud the effort.
Can LittleBigPlanet deliver on expectations? Will it truly make us all one step closer to self publishers? Will it finally deliver a sustainable experience supported by smart, effective in-game advertising? Only time will tell, and I can hardly wait until October to find out.

Cooler Master unleashes HAF X packed full of goodies
Everything but the kitchen sink? Not far off the mark
Cooler Master took wraps off its latest HAF (High Air Flow) full tower chassis today which it calls the HAF X. The second you lay eyes on the beast you know you are looking at a high end piece of equipment and Cooler Master has thrown as many of its tricks as possible at this one to deliver without dissapointment.
The beast weighs in at just over 14Kg, using steel material and a sleek all-black (inside and out) paint job. Measurements of the case come in at 230 (W) x 550 (H) x 590 (D) mm.
Some of its many features include full tool-free installation, unique cable management system, front I/O panel with USB 3.0 support as well as eSATA, USB 2.0, FireWire and audio ports and a large side window to show off your components.
The cooling system is also very impressive with room for not one, but two 200mm fans up top, 230mm at the front for intake, 200mm on the side and 140mm for rear exhaust. That oughtta be more than enough to keep your 3-Way SLI / CrossFireX systems content.
Although the case isn't ready for mass market just yet, it will be just around the corner (whispers of June). In the meantime, we were able to get hold of an early sample for a good lookover and were highly impressed, especially at the $199 price point Cooler Master plans it to hit shelves at.

Here it is! The Brain Misconceptions, Part II. If you read my previous post, I have been entrenched with exams and work, and I haven't had much time to write, much less do research for this blog post. But here it is – finally! The "Crimeful Men" section took the longest to write just based on research and attempting to sort through the points I wanted to make. I was honestly caught between explaining two different disorders and a subsection of a disorder before I could really understand what I wanted to say. Since Crimeful Men is also a section comparing genders, I felt it was my responsibility to look at underlying media themes in the portrayal of women in crime and scholarly articles ranging from the late 90's to now to try to find the most precise analysis of the subject I chose.
6. Crimeful Men
On behalf of all the men in the world, antisocial personality disorder has a 3:1 ratio of men versus women affected. Antisocial personality disorder is characterized by, "aggression towards animals and people, destruction of property, deception or stealing, impulsiveness, hostility, engagement in dangerous acts, irresponsible behavior, and an absence of remorse," by at least 18 years of age. In addition, the individual must fulfill at least 3 of the following characteristics,
- "A failure to observe social norms which can result in legal action
- A deceitfulness including lying to and using others
- Failure to plan ahead
- An irritability and aggressiveness that escalates to physical fights
- A reckless disregard for the safety of others
- An irresponsibility such as a failure to pay debts or perform duties at work
- A lack of remorse when another person is hurt."
Let's be honest, sometimes we all feel numbers 3 and 7, like I tend to laugh when a little kid falls down. Although antisocial personality disorder is not the only disorder which may lead to violence, it is one of the most commonly referred to in the media, usually by the term psychopathy. Despite the fact that psychopathy is a subsection of antisocial personality disorder, it, and sociopath have recently become interchangeable in society even though the terms defining very different behaviors. Additionally, the American Psychiatric Association does not recognize the terms sociopath, and other interchangeable descriptions, as an actual medical condition to fit within the umbrella antisocial personality disorder.
Now, personality disorders, in general, have a higher prevalence in women than in men; however, as I stated above, antisocial personality disorder is seen thrice more in men than in women. In the cases in which women were diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder, the symptoms and signs were less apparent than in men. Though men tended to use violence more often, have a history of arrests, starting fights, and cruelty to animals women showed an array of different behaviors. This could suggest antisocial personality disorder may be just as common in women as it is in men; however, either due to biological predispositions or social expectations on how women should act, women are less likely to be diagnosed with the disorder. To expand further, there may be a difference in the ways women react to a threat in comparison to men – the "Tend and Befriend" Theory. This theory states when a female is stressed by a threat or environmental circumstances, they tend to befriend others in the community and tend to any offspring. Although this is most likely not true when it is applied to individuals with personality disorders (and is a general theory, therefore shouldn't be applied to individual cases), it portrays a difference in sex which may have been overlooked when creating diagnostic criteria for antisocial personality disorder. In fact, women diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder were found to be more irritable, lack remorse, and have multiple sex partners, and higher incidences of childhood trauma and neglect.
However, the data is limited to individuals who are either mandated therapy or seeking therapy for their problems (typically, antisocial personality disorder is comorbid with substance abuse disorders). This leaves a large portion of individuals who do not seek help or who are antisocial but do not see fault in their actions. An additional hindrance to data research is the lack of observation in support groups differences between men and women, for example, close friends. For instance, women may talk more often about issues they are facing with their close friends versus their male counterparts. The support group may be an integral part of why there is a diagnostic difference in sex. Further research showed women with antisocial personality disorder also had higher rates of adult adverse events than men. These adverse events may have preserved or increased the symptoms of antisocial personality disorder. Also, it may be a woman's physical strength which acts as a hindrance to both defending themselves from adult abuse and encountering physical fights.
Let's redefine this movie- the character portrayed by James McAvoy suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder. This disorder has been portrayed (and dramatized) many times in Hollywood, firstly by Sally Field playing Sybil in 1976. Dissociative Identity Disorder is less multiple personalities or beings inhabiting one mind, and more like all the personalities, or faces, not meshing completely into one unified individual. For instance, the personality you use at work is different than the personality you use around your roommates which is also very different from the personality you use around your parents. Imagine all those different "faces" you wear not meshing correctly and, instead, projecting in multiple directions and developing separately on their own. In that sense, it is similar to having multiple personalities, but in reality, it's one's self not creating a unified whole. Dissociative personality disorder is typically 1-3% in a population with more diagnoses in men than women. During an "episode" the affected individual may shift between completely different personality sets. The personality – separate from the "host" personality – can have separate memories, behaviors, and traits. Additionally, the host can be completely unaware of the separate personality or occurrences during the personality's control – giving the host a sense of amnesia and lost time. Sound familiar? These are some of the same symptoms Christianity defined to "diagnose" demonic possession. Regardless, 90% of individuals suffering from this personality disorder had severe childhood trauma and almost 100% of them suffered from amnesia during one event of their life – which may have played a key role in their personality incongruence.
8. Vaccines Cause Autism
Let me take a moment to break this argument down to its bare bones since there are multiple angles to misinterpret information. Firstly, mercury derived preservatives were removed from vaccinations in 1990. Secondly, and most importantly, Andrew Wakefield, the gastroenterologist who originally published false data stating that the Measles-Mumps-Rubella vaccination caused autism was banned from the scientific community after his findings were proven false – mainly because he lacked a control group and his findings were not reproducible in any lab setting.
Here's a historical example in which a case was made: Dr. Ignaz Semmelweiss who championed hand-washing during surgery. Dr. Semmelweiss worked at a maternity clinic, trying to determine why so many mothers were dying of puerperal fever. He compared two wards of the clinics, one with doctors and their medical students and the other with midwives. He found the mother in the doctor's clinic were five times more likely to contract and die from puerperal fever than the mothers in the midwives' ward. Dr. Semmelweiss needed to know what was different in either case so he varied each environment. Sometimes he would vary the way the woman was laying on the bed, etc. It wasn't until a pathologist pricked his finger and died from puerperal fever did he realize that the fever was not restricted to just the mothers in bed, that it had been transmitted from patient to doctor. What was the difference between the doctors and the midwives though? The doctors and medical students were performing autopsies on individuals who had already died from puerperal fever then going to the maternity ward and transmitting the fever to the mothers. Once doctors and medical students began washing their hands between patients, deaths decreased significantly. How does this relate to the autism debate?
Dr. Semmelweiss's procedure, although incidental, is a perfect example of cause and effect and scientific study. In contrast, Dr. Wakefield's study did not even have a significant correlation to the data. For instance, Wakefield's main argument was based on autistic children's gastrointestinal sensitivity. He theorized the vaccinations induced intestinal inflammation which released encephalopathic peptides resulting in autism spectrum disorders. If this was a key ingredient to developing autism, then all autistic children should have gastrointestinal sensitivity prior to developing autism but after having the vaccinations. Based on the children's medical records this was not found. In fact, some autistic children did not have sensitive gastrointestinal tracts both before and after autism symptoms appeared. Additionally, the same time individuals develop autism is roughly the same time they receive the vaccination. To further diminish parents' fears, a comparison study was made in countries which did not have the Measles-Mumps-Rubella vaccinations. In these countries, the incidence was the same as our developed countries, if not less. Thus, based on basic scientific theory, autism is not caused by vaccinations or the mercury-based preservatives in vaccinations. If this was the case, large populations of children would be suffering from autism spectrum disorders.
9. Old Dogs Can't Learn New Tricks
The aging process has two main aspects: an inability in reestablishing homeostasis and demyelination of neurons resulting in a slowed neuronal action potential. Despite these setbacks, older individuals are still able to learn new information and maintain their quality of comprehension. Mainly through maintaining a healthy lifestyle. This has a lot to do with having a healthy circle of friends – loneliness is a leading cause for the development of physical illnesses. Additionally getting enough sleep every night, eating healthy, and exercising plenty. Essentially, enjoying your life. Sleep, exercise and keeping positive energy help with maintaining your brain; however, there is little that can be done to prevent the reduction in homeostasis. But, on the upside, there are the Tarahumara people of Mexico who run 200-mile marathons, regardless of age.
10! My Brain Made Me Do It
You are your brain and body – they are not separate but work together in equally different ways. Which means you should take care of your brain the same way you would care for your body. For instance, you wouldn't go to sleep without brushing your teeth, right? It's the same concept applied to your brain. It's constantly working and making sure every aspect of the body is in order whilst dealing with your consciousness. It needs a break – you need a break- from everyday life and a good tidying through self-reflection.
Now, when I mean you are your brain that is not to give an excuse to anyone for bad behavior – if at any point in time, you're conscious of an action being wrong or hurtful then that should be a clear sign to you that it probably is. What I mean by this is that people have the ability to change. Information is so widespread and all people have to do is click – and the answers are all there – but I think we're just so caught up in social media and opinions of other people, news, etc. that we're missing all this knowledge we could be gaining. With knowledge comes power, and with power comes the responsibility to make the world change for the better. First, people, including myself, should reflect on themselves, and try to find the changes they want to see within them.

It was that kind of day. Truly earth shattering.
I got 'my' letter. The letter. The one from the Canadian Federal Government that says I have been approved to receive my Canada Pension Plan starting in January. (For my American friends, this is the equivalent of Social Security.)
I'm almost retired – even though I plan to work for another decade.
Holy Hannah – it feels important.
How did this come about? The federal government decided that if you were over 60 as of January 1, 2012 you could receive your Canada Pension Plan even though you're still working full time.
This is a big change in policy for the feds. As soon as I heard about the possibility (big thanks to my daughter Sabrina) I called their office and asked the important questions: "When does it start? And how much does it pay?"
The answer to the first is January 1 and to the second: "Enough." You get less than if you wait for the 'official' date of retirement, which is seventy. But as long as I continue to contribute, my federal pension at seventy will increase at that time.
Since I'm single and since I bought a real estate investment to live in (ie a house), I'm going to use this to pay down my mortgage. It means I will have my house paid off fairly quickly. That's cool.
It doesn't matter how I cut it, once I signed the application, I acknowledged that I am willing to receive a pension. Me…sweet young thing Louise, getting a federal pension. Who'd have thought it could happen to … me?
I'll take my tongue out of my cheek now. Yes, I know how old I am. After all, I have grandchildren. My son turned forty this year. But I have to tell you, being approved to receive a pension caused me a few moments of consideration. Like it or not, I'm getting older.
Bring on the Botox…it must be time to start paying attention.

Discussion in Gaming started by nyronic, Sep 2, 2012
click it
Wait.. they finally did it?? Nice
A remake of an original when a remake already exists, sounds like these guys work for Hollywood.
Other than this one being free, whats the difference between this one and valve's HL:S?
HL:S isn't a remake, its just a port. All the maps/models/sprites etc are still hl1 detail level. This mod is a COMPLETE remake on the source engine.
I have never played any Half Life games, should I start with this one?
tbh you should start with the originals- they are not to be overlooked
Well, this is HL1, so technically he is starting from the beginning.
from a story viewpoint yes, but as far as anything else is concerned i disagree. Original is the original. He can play whatever he wants, i gave my opinion. People think that if they spice up the graphics it will make the game twice as good or something but fail to see the aesthetics of the true thing are often lost. -kyle you seem to be so busy trying to make other people look stupid you rarely ever get the point.
I'm not saying you're incorrect, I'm not saying your opinion is wrong. If he's going to spend a few days playing through all of them, I believe BMS is the way to go instead of going with HL:S or HL1.
Are you kidding? Is my opinion on this matter of any less value then yours?
If you have been living under a stone for the past eight years... You should think about leaving it and see the sunlight O.o
8 years? That was HL2. HL was released in '98.
I'm ignoring arguments because I'm too excited for BM:S.
did i ever say it was not? I do not believe I ever once made that statement. This shit right here is why i said that you spend far too much time trying to make someone look stupid and miss the point entirely. which of course is my opinion
anyways should be a really fun way to replay a classic
Stop the hate and pet lamar!
Is that a piece of watermelon hes holding?
Separate names with a comma.

Angels For Katherine
UPDATE April 17th, 2018
Dear friends and family,
My last CT scan Friday, 04/13/2018 results
Report of findings shows that the right side of my neck has a large lump on my lymph node almost the size of a golfball. Also, in other areas at the reconstruction site, there appears to be a highly suspicious cancer recurrence which is very aggressive. My doctor recommended chemotherapy but unfortunately, my type of cancer will not likely respond favorably with the treatment.
I don't want to quit! I want advanced alternative cancer treatment and have chosen CMN Hospital in San Luis Mexico. I learned of CMN hospital from a 7-year breast cancer survivor Shannon Knight. You can learn about her and even her twin sister who also is a survivor that received cancer treatment at CMN hospital instead of chemo. Shannon's breast cancer diagnosis was a recurrence of metastatic disease in 2010. In fact, her UCLA doctor told her she only had three months to a year at best to live. Her doctor was wrong; she is alive and well seven years later thanks to CMN Hospital and their alternative treatment.
I am a mother of two precious children; a daughter age 6 who has her challenges with autism and a son age 18. I believe everyone deserves a miracle; I have seen others just like Shannon Knight beat cancer without chemo. I must try for my kids and myself.
Please help me and donate to my fund which will get me to the battleground one more time but this time with advanced alternative cancer treatment. Here is the link to the CMN Hospital treatments I have chosen CMN Hospital Treatment Summary. These therapies could potentially save my life! I don't have much time left, and I humbly ask for your contribution and thank you with all my heart!
Please share this page with the link to my GoFundMe page. Thank you, and Love to you ALL!!

Sony Santa Monica's Canceled New IP Was Sci-fi, Really Unique, Set to Be Unveiled at E3, Insider Says
The recent round of layoffs at Sony Santa Monica apparently was caused by the cancellation of a new IP in the works at the studio, as confirmed by the project's Lead Level Designer Jonathan Hawkins (that also mentioned that the dropped project was the one led by God of War III Director Stig Asmussen), and today we got some insider info on what it entailed from former NeoGAF user Shinobi602 that is known to have very solid contacts across the industry.
Sad to hear Santa Monica's new IP is canned. It sounded pretty darn good from what I was told. RIP, we hardly knew ye.Advertisement
New IP was really unique, sci-fi…legitimately saddened at the news. Sorry to everyone involved, damn.
What's worse is that it was set to be unveiled at E3. Something massive must have happened. : (
Shinobi also mentioned that he was told that the project was going "swimmingly" and that it "supposedly" was the project involving Battlestar Galactica's writer Michael Angeli. He also explained that (predictably) the assets for the game are being preserved, so we might very well see something made out of them some time in the future.
This doesn't mean that Sony Santa Monica's has now no new IP in the works, as it apparently had three projects undergoing development: one by the God of War: Ascension Team, one led by Cory Barlog (that according to Shinobi still seems to be going on) and the canceled one one with Stig Asmussen at the helm, and we know very little to nothing at all about them. Shinobi Mentioned that he's sure that a new God of War is in development, but that sounds more like personal (even if most probable) speculation.
Interestingly enough another insider, Pete "FamousMortimer" Dodd, mentioned that his sources had a different opinion of the game, also explaining that the decision was taken directly by the studio's director Shannon Studstill:
Teams have to hit development goals. They also, for better or worse, go through extensive playtesting.
No one that's seen it thinks it's a shame that the game was canceled. That sounds like a given. The surprise is that most of the team was fired.Advertisement
Mind you, it's not too surprising that different sources may have different opinions about a game, and developers directly working on a project often see it differently from people that have a less direct involvement with it, as Shinobi mentioned.
Could be dev bias but like I said they were hitting milestones well, shaping up well from what I was told.
Ultimately, whether the new IP was great or not, it's always extremely saddening to see projects canceled, and even more so when talented developers lose their jobs out of the deal. We can only hope that as many as them as possible will fall on their feet and find another mean to express their talent soon.

I am unable to make a map using American factfinder. Any time I try to make a map using any kind of data, I get an error where the map reads nothing. What is going on here? Is there an issue with the website at the moment?
There is no legend and there is nothing visual showing up on the map aside from the base map. This is what I mean by "I get an error".

McCanns' pain doesn't justify censorship effort
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, as Kate and Gerry McCann have discovered to their cost.
It only takes five minutes on the internet to uncover a web of rumour, half truth and innuendo which would convince even the couple's most fervent supporters that they are hiding something about the disappearance of their daughter Madeleine in Portugal in May 2007, or, worse, that they actually killed her, either by accident or design, and then concocted the story of her abduction from a holiday complex in the Algarve to cover their tracks.
Which version one chooses to believe is a matter of personal taste. When it comes to outlandish conspiracy theories, there really is one for everyone in the internet's global audience of nutters, giving ever greater credence to the old line about a lie getting round the world before the truth gets out of bed. But if you're on the receiving end of it, like the McCanns and their friends, you certainly don't expect the police to add fuel to the fire.
Say what you like about the gardai, but it's impossible to imagine a senior Irish police officer behaving like Goncalo Amaral, the former investigating officer in Portimao, who was so stung by criticism he received for his handling of this case that he marked his own dismissal from the investigation by writing a book alleging that Madeleine died accidentally in the family apartment on the night of May 3, 2007; that Gerry then disposed of his daughter's body on the beach; and that the holiday party all colluded in a cover-up to prevent possible charges being laid against them for child neglect.
The controversy surrounding Amaral's book, Maddie: The Truth of the Lie, finally reached the courts last week, as the author sought to overturn a ban on its publication, previously won by the McCanns. This could well be the closest the McCanns' Portuguese tormentors ever get to their wish of putting the couple on trial.
"They are trying to judge in a civil court what they could not judge in a criminal court," the couple's lawyer points out.
The case has now been adjourned until next month, when two more witnesses, currently unavailable, will give evidence; but even if the former police officer loses this one, it won't stop there. He insists this is about the right of free speech under the Portuguese constitution, and has pledged to go all the way to the European Court of Human Rights to defend his freedom to publish his allegations.
And here's hoping he ultimately wins. Goncalo Amaral might be a disgrace to the name of detective, whose book, far from being the fearless expose which it boastfully purports to be, is a shoddy cut and paste job that is shamelessly selective in its use of evidence, cynically exaggerates the significance of DNA traces found in the McCanns' apartment and hire car, makes leaps of logic which would embarrass Inspector Clouseau, never mind a supposedly senior policeman, pads out its thesis with silly cod-historical digressions on the "turbulent" ancient history between England and the Algarve, and the proud noble independent spirit of the Portuguese people; and which ultimately resorts to ludicrously overblown paranoia about political interference in the case (though naturally Amaral struggles to explain why so many powerful people, up to and including the British prime minister, would go to such extraordinary lengths to protect a bunch of obscure doctors on holiday from being held to account for neglecting their children).
But even bad detectives and worse true crime writers should be free to speak about their experiences and conclusions in a case whose ongoing lack of resolution is clearly not in the public interest. Not least when all the material contained in The Truth of the Lie comes from the official police files, which, since the investigation was archived, have largely been in the public domain anyway. What contrary right are the McCanns asserting here, after all? The book has already sold 200,000 copies in Portugal, been translated into six other languages including Spanish, Italian, Swedish and German, and is freely available in English versions over the internet. Ten seconds on Google and it's yours to read, whatever the courts decide.
The documentary which Amaral helped make for Portuguese TV can also be seen, subtitled, on YouTube, while numerous websites continue to rake over the same small disputed scraps of evidence which he uses in his book to crudely smear the McCanns. Indeed, he will soon be visiting Britain to give a talk at the invitation of a virulently anti-Kate and Gerry group known as the Madeleine Foundation. All of which sounds like healthy free speech to me. The McCanns' pain shouldn't give them carte blanche to silence those who say things they don't want to hear.
Unfortunately, this is what they have done from the start. These are people who issue solicitors' letters the way other couples send out wedding invitations. There's even a website now devoted to people who claim to have been "Gagged By (The) McCanns", with the tagline: "Has Team McCann tried to silence you?" Free speech isn't so free when you're working on a shoestring and your opponents have multi-million pound funds at their disposal.
The McCanns insist they act this way only because they don't want a sense of defeatism about Madeleine's fate to dilute the continuing effort to find their daughter. That's understandable, though Kate McCann's claim last week that the proceedings have "shown again there is no evidence that Madeleine came to any harm" are bewildering, to say the least. Sniffer dogs who had been trained to detect the presence of cadavers and blood both reacted strongly in the couple's holiday apartment. Something bad happened there, even if there is not a scrap of credible physical evidence that it had anything to do with them. It seems like another example of a couple who have never exactly come across as warm or likeable in the public imagination doing themselves no favours, especially when so many questions remain to be answered about that awful night and the following weeks.
They can't have it both ways, demanding that interest in the disappearance of Madeleine remains high while also continually asserting their right to control the tenor and nature of that interest.
Goncalo Amaral's claims need to be rebutted, not censored. That's the real tragedy. It's coming up to the third anniversary of this little girl's disappearance, and the effort to find out what happened to her has become swamped in an unseemly battle among people desperate to protect their own reputations. It could drag on for years.
The McCanns will soon be back in court seeking €1m in libel damages against Amaral. By the time all this is concluded, Madeleine McCann might as well be known as, "Madeleine Who?" for all the progress which will have been made to bring closure to the saga.
in Irish Sunday Independent
* This journalist makes several factual mistakes, however she arrived to the same conclusion that we all have: Will the censorship of a book, and of a documentary - indeed of all the investigation process where both works are fundamented, bring Madeleine back? Is it, by spending the Find Madeleine Fund money, in legal actions and on image consultant companies, that the McCanns are proactively searching for their daughter?

St. Raphael Catholic Church
To play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your Flash plugin.
Prior to the construction of St. Raphael Catholic Church, the few Catholic families living in Springfield in the mid-1800′s generally held services in private homes and, at times, available public halls. Construction on the original church began in 1848 on this plot of land that was purchased several years prior. Construction was completed in 1849.
In the Spring of 1892, demolition began to make way for the stone, Gothic Revival style building that exists today. The church was designed by prominent Springfield architect, Charles A. Cregar. Construction on the new St. Raphael Catholic Church was completed in 1898 and came at a cost of $75,000. The west tower is 184 feet in height and the east tower, which contained the bell, is 135 feet high. At the time of its completion, St. Raphael was visible for many miles in every direction and still is today.

Here in West Virginia, caring for yourself, your family, and your neighbor is a way of life.
No, it isn't required care by the government – no bureaucrat forces an individual or a company to be generous. Instead, neighbors know you by name. They're willing to lend a hand, and aren't shy about sharing in their good graces. When a loved one passes away, friends and family will say "let me know how I can help." This isn't a light hearted statement – fellow church members, coworkers, and others will take food to family members, donate their time and money, and even help take care of pets and everyday life for those struggling with their loss.
Maybe that's the thing I miss most when I travel across our great country. For all the stereotypes and jokes, West Virginians demonstrate more compassion and caring than anyone I've ever met.
Traditionally, West Virginia has been dominated by the Democratic party. The party built a reputation in our state for being the party of the working man – the ones who will fight for those every day workers, those going out to earn their keep. This explains the popularity of the late Senator Robert C. Byrd, who sent millions of dollars over his tenure in Washington back to his home state, ensuring job creation and progress (albeit through pork barrel spending).
Yet for all of the work that the Democratic Party has done trying to build a blue collar reputation in WV, they're beginning to see their work unravel. As the national party makes a sharp left turn, conservative voters in the Mountain State are facing a decision. The once dominant party is beginning to splinter as its members and leadership try to respond to the increased regulations out of Washington. Senator Joe Manchin has already begun advocating for more restrictions on the Second Amendment, not two years after launching a television commercial of him shooting the cap and trade bill (without blaze orange required by most hunters in WV). Democratic legislators suffered big losses in the 2012 election cycle, mostly associated with West Virginians voting overwhelmingly against President Obama. In fact, every county in the state went for GOP nominee Mitt Romney. Jay Rockefeller has decided not to run for his Senate seat in 2014, leaving the seat to Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito, who is the popular favorite for the job.
What does this mean for conservatism in West Virginia? Well, certainly the Republican Party stands to benefit. But more importantly, West Virginians stand to benefit.
The decisions currently being executed by Governor Earl Ray Tomblin's administration, such as his recent implementation of Obamacare, stand in direct contrast to the wishes of the people of West Virginia. Why are our hard earned dollars going to expanding Medicaid? Certainly, people aren't happy with the fact that our welfare system is wracked with abuse and fraud. Legislators who used to conspire with government officials are suddenly being voted out of office by citizens who have finally had enough. One example is Patrick Morrisey – the state's first Republican Attorney General in 80 years.
This transformation is just a natural continuation of West Virginia values. Caring for one another, lifting each other up, and valuing individualism are what make us a great people of faith and respect.
Liberal outsiders have tried dismissing this Appalachian wisdom as stupidity or simple mindedness. Instead, it represents something much more detrimental to their cause. In order for socialism to succeed, it has to be an expansion of government that's never been seen before. The type of government growth that exploded during the Great Depression and continue throughout the 1960s is what must be required for government to effectively control society. When gun carrying West Virginians say that they're tired of government controlling their lives, well, that's not something that fits neatly into a progressive plan for the future.
The fact of the matter is that West Virginians have always provided for themselves, and have empowered those who want to work. The key is actually wanting to work; so many have worked and built their lives and their communities, and when drug abusers or lazy cretins get caught manipulating the system, they aren't appreciated. What we do appreciate are the things that made our state great. These include hard work, earning your keep, being faithful to your friends and family, and holding government officials accountable.
Maybe our nation can learn something from Appalachian conservatism.

Book Review: The Immortals Series by Alyson Noel
Okay, so I just made it sound like I'm negligent about the review and a lost cause when in pursuit of a speedy beautifying process. Not true, I'm simply distracted by the prospect of actually wandering further than my own backyard. I've been writing, blogging and generally arsing around in cyberspace for far too long without interaction with the general public.
My weekends are fast becoming a snore-fest.
So it's time for me to get my nose out of a book or away from the computer screen long enough to scream at my curling iron, gyrate with unknowns, and laugh with mates until the wee hours of the morning.
This series is highly geared towards the YA market. There are a few supernatural elements in it, but not enough to excite anyone drawn to the horror genre. It's more of a spiritual novel, exploring chakras, potions, gemstones and nature's magic. It's also a love story, one that makes you want to slap a few people along the way.
I enjoyed this series, following the story of Ever and Damon, two beings fated as soul mates, destined to always be separated by their own stupidity, lack of faith and general interference from others. I say enjoyed because I didn't dislike it, but it wasn't exactly enthralling either. The writer has a wonderful idea encapsulated with beautifully written words, but unfortunately, it just fell short on the excitement levels that I've come to expect from the YA genre.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for ill fated romances, love triangles and even a bit of spirituality, but for two people wagering eternity, they both spend a lot of time complaining about what they don't have rather than the opportunities they do have. Fortunately the writer does wrap this series up smoothly. All characters are given their appropriate send offs, and any ill will between interacting characters is diminished. Overall it's wrapped up in a nice little bow for the reader, though I'm not certain I would have made the same choices if given the opportunity.
All in all, I'd give this series 3 out of 5 for it's light, but entertaining foray into the world of teenage immortality.
Well, have a good one - I will be ...
Kristy :)

Kristy, I know exactly what you mean. I started this series, read the first two books and then stopped. I just couldn't get excited enough about the characters to want to continue. They both left me vaguely unsatisfied because they never seemed to make choices that I would have made. Anyway, I agree with your 3 out of 5 stars. :)ReplyDelete
We have an awesome Giveaway on our blog. Feel free to stop by and check it out =)ReplyDelete
Kristy, Your review is dead on and i agree with you and Elizabeth. I read the first two books and on the third, but its the type of novel that doesnt quite make me want to sit in a room and read until i just cant bare sleeping. If given the opportunity i would have given the characters a more likable vibe. Concluding, a 3 out of 5 works perfectlyReplyDelete

I was accidentally bought the immortals series: shadowland and i had never read the previous books. Do you think i would understand the storyline? I dont want to read it but ive wasted my money so yeah. Should i read it? Or buy the previous novels? Pleasss reply i need your help.ReplyDelete
Yes! I absolutely love your comments, and, now that I have read through the blogger instructions and actually know how to answer them, we are all sweet - so please, write!

Newport Pizza Company Review
So we headed a few blocks towards the Levee and came across Newport Pizza Company - I'd heard a few things about this and thought we should check it out!
It's on the corner on Monmouth and has a small outside seating area as well as about 10 tables inside.
Scott wasn't fond of having his picture taken and kept pushing away the camera and it turned out to be a cool picture!
We ordered a salad and planned on splitting it between the 3 of us. Here's the bone of contention for the evening. The house/caesar salads were approx. $3 each (they don't have a website so I can't look up menu). The server said the other salads were much larger - they were also $6.50 or more so we figured they would be bigger. Well they aren't - we saw our BLT salad and the other's house/caesar - all the same size - yet this was twice the price. It's some lettuce people - good God!
The salad tasted fine but if I'd paid that and thought it was an entree salad - I would have been even more peeved! FYI that's a small probably 6" plate - just for reference.
Now they do have good beers - these are a couple of fancy pants beers that were about $10/bottle but the bottles had probably 3 glasses in each. I think they were both Belgian beers - the boys were very happy. The one on the left has double the alcohol...just fyi.
Finally - the 'za - we got the Monmouth - basically the "combo". Sausage (very good - like really great), pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers, onions, bacon, etc...
It's a thinner crust but still not the super crispy thin crust that is my favorite. It was far superior to that of Chi-nnati's from last weekend.
My Dad used to put LOTS of sauce on pizzas and I miss that - it's used so sparingly I don't really remember it. Overall it was a good pizza pie. Probably on par with Deweys - (but not in the salad dept). I like Dewey's unique choices more than the standards...but for a standard this was good.
They also had sandwiches on the menu but we were all in a pizza mood. We got the 16" and we ate all of it with 3 people (they also have a 12" - that's what she said - dammit - sorry - just watched the office.)
I'm still searching for my favorite pizza - I think my two favorites of all time are probably Godfather's Combo - fond memories of it as a child - remember the dude in the commercials? And my other favorite: Pagliai's where I went to college - my best friend and I would get 1/2 pepperoni/green pepper and 1/2 sausage/mushroom. Ahhhhh.
What's your favorite pizza?
10 comments
Fin du monde is definitely Belgian and pretty good (and it is a fantastic name).ReplyDelete
I am from Iowa City and Pagliai's was by far my favorite. ooohh I miss it. Its so nice to find another Iowan here in Cincy. I love your blog.ReplyDelete
Well Sarah - pleased to meet you!!! I'm from West Liberty - we were practically neighbors!ReplyDelete
- MichaelJune 27, 2009 at 8:19 PM
Kudos for the Godfather's reference! I thought I was the only person in Cincinnati that knew about Godfather's. I would kill for their cinnamon dessert pizza!ReplyDelete
It's probably a good thing that there isn't a Godfather's around here or I might have a serious problem.
Oh I know - pagiliai's and godfather's how i miss you both!!!!ReplyDelete
i love the newport pizza co as well - i have a post coming sometime :)ReplyDelete
the pic of scott is way cool
oh, my favorite pizza currently is noce's. on the westside, of course.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 27, 2009 at 4:25 PM
K - I think you must work for them or something. I just had their pizza and I found it to be mediocre at best. Bud at $2.00 was by FAR their best menu item. The decor looked like an old subway store and the kitchen (like the toilets) was unsanitary. Lat time I will EVER eat there.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 27, 2009 at 4:28 PM
Yea, Godfather's was some really good pizza! Newport Pizza company falls way short of that. More like a dressed up frozen Tony's.ReplyDelete
I definitely do NOT work for them...but yeah - i'd rather have deweys!ReplyDelete

CSU Worker Graduates in Building He Has Been Cleaning for Years
COLUMBUS, Ga. – Gary Freeman, 59, has been a custodian at Columbus State University for nine years. Recently promoted to a team leader, he is responsible for cleaning a variety of buildings around campus, including the Frank G. Lumpkin Center, home to CSU basketball games and other major events.
Friday night, the Lumpkin Center hosted a graduation ceremony for the College of Education and Health Professions. Gary was there on his usual shift until 1:30 a.m., cleaning up after a packed house.
Saturday, he was back in the Lumpkin Center.
But this time, he was there in a cap and gown, not his work uniform.
After working toward his degree one class at a time, when he had the time, Gary graduated on Saturday with a Bachelor of Business Administration, with a major in Management Information Systems.
"I consider it very special to graduate in the building that I have been cleaning for nine years," he said shortly before walking across the stage and shaking the president's hand.
Monday, he was back at work, proudly doing his rounds and humbly accepting hugs from co-workers. Still, he wanted to make sure his supervisor was OK with him taking a call on his cell phone about his degree since he was working.
He said it felt "great" to be a college graduate, and he was planning to send out resumes soon in the hopes of finding a job "in his field."
"Gary is a great example to us all," said Steve Morse, senior director of University Support Services, the division that encompasses custodial services at CSU. "Not only is he the kind of worker we want at CSU, he is a reminder of why we are all here at this university: to provide an environment where people can get a higher education that can improve their lives."
