The search for atoms of space and time
Quantum gravity experts to meet at FAU in July
Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity – which is 100 years old this year – is essential for describing our universe at a large scale, from our solar system, to galaxies, to the earliest stages of the universe. However, whether and to what extent Einstein's theory can also be applied at the microscopic scale has not yet been sufficiently researched. Together with international colleagues, researchers at FAU's Institute of Quantum Gravity are working on developing and researching a theory that combines general relativity with the laws of quantum physics – a quantum theory of gravity. From 6 to 10 July 2015, around 200 experts from all over the world will be meeting at the Loops '15 conference in Erlangen to discuss the results of the latest research in quantum gravity. The general public are also invited to attend the popular science lecture by Italian researcher Prof. Carlo Rovelli. The lecture, which will be given in English, will be held at 8.30 p.m. on 9 July at Heinrich-Lades-Halle in Erlangen. Rovelli will take his audience through Einstein's work, explain what it says about black holes and the big bang, and outline the search for a quantum theory of gravity.
Exactly 100 years ago, Einstein revolutionised our understanding of space and time with his general theory of relativity. He showed that space and time do not exist independently of other physical processes but interact with them dynamically. His theory is not only essential in order to understand our universe, it also plays an important role in everyday life. For example, it has to be considered in GPS positioning. Yet the general theory of relativity also has a few unanswered riddles for researchers. The theory describes the beginning of our universe with the big bang, but it appears to lose its predictive power here, at the beginning of space and time, as the physical quantities that it defines would take on infinite values. This phenomenon is known as a singularity. The same applies to what it says about black holes. Einstein's theory implies that gravity causes particularly heavy stars at the end of their lives to collapse unstoppably and a singularity – a hole in spacetime – is what remains.
It is not unusual for a physical theory to reach its limits in certain areas, and in the history of physics this has always served as motivation to question old concepts and develop new theories that are able to describe nature even in its extremes. A particularly impressive example of this was the introduction of quantum theory at the beginning of the last century which allowed physical models to be applied at the atomic scale, an area in which classical physics at the time was unable to provide an adequate description of the laws of nature. Quantum theory describes the world at small scales, while the general theory of relativity describes its at large ones.
To answer the questions about the big bang and black holes that cannot be explained by the general theory of relativity, gravity – and therefore the geometry of space and time – must also be understood at the microscopic scale. Researchers assume that this requires a new type of quantum theory that can not only describe the quantum properties of atoms but is also able to describe those of space and time – and therefore gravity. What they are looking for, therefore, is a quantum theory of gravity.
What such a theory might look like and what its physical consequences would be is one area of research that FAU's Institute of Quantum Gravity specialises in. A team at the Institute, led by Prof. Dr. Thomas Thiemann, is carrying out research on loop quantum gravity, one of several possible approaches to a quantum theory of gravity. The predictions about microscopic properties of gravity that loop quantum gravity allows for is one of the topics up for discussion at this year's Loop '15 conference from 6 to 10 July, which is being hosted by the Institute of Quantum Gravity. The participants will include renowned researchers such as Prof. Abhay Ashtekar, Prof. Carlo Rovelli and Prof. Lee Smolin, who are considered the founders of loop quantum gravity. Lee Smolin is also well known among a wider audience thanks to his popular science books, such as 'Time Reborn: From the Crisis in Physics to the Future of the Universe'. The conference's programme includes longer plenaries that provide an overview of topics such as current research in quantum gravity and short parallel sessions in which young researchers in particular have the opportunity to present their latest findings.

In the spirit of this magazine, I'd like to debate debate. Anonymous debate, that is. Much to the dismay of Facebook, the Middlebury study break website of choice changed in late April, as thousands of students browsed and posted anonymous remarks on Middlebury Confessional. Though the web site's intent, as stated by its creator Shibo Xu, is to promote discussion on "controversial issues, such as race, sexual abuse or any other taboo," it is by and large a series of slanderous, inflammatory or untruthful threads. In short, I am not a fan, and here is why.
When I graduate, I will treasure my memories of the gorgeous campus, and even those ugly fluorescent shades that the commons like to spend their money on, and other small details. Yet most of all, I will cherish the many conversations that I have had with friends and strangers. I will miss the Middlebury which has taught me to ask that girl across the table what she has put in her pasta because it looks delicious (pesto, cheese and basil), and to explain to someone in an a cappella group why I don't think it's right for them to partake in certain traditional initiation ceremonies. I enjoy having these talks and think they are an integral part of our education, but only if we are in full knowledge of who we are conversing with, and not hiding behind our computer screens.
I sincerely believe there is not a single issue one might wish to confront on this campus that they cannot sit down and talk about. Furthermore, the value of the conversation will be much higher than one in which "The Dinosaur" makes five mysterious appearances.
This site will not resolve whatever communication problems we may have on our campus; if anything, it will create hurt feelings, inflated egos, and nonsense. So, sit down and talk about it. I promise that if you have enough time to browse this site, you have enough time to stick around longer for a post-dinner chat. And please, do not post a thread to discuss this article. If you have any remarks, please, just come talk to me. Let's put a rest to anonymous bashing and return to the old face-to-face approach.
Disclaimer: Sorry, girl on Confessional with that tampon issue, but just to be clear, this is not an invitation for private instruction.

I suppose you have seen this link:
Yes, but if you read the post, it says that you connect the reader BEFORE opening ADE (my previous post was a mistake). Anyway, if it doesn't work, change the USB port and, if it doesn't work either, I would write to Bq.
And now it suddenly DOES work!
But here's the next problem...
When I try to read Una_temporada_en_el_infierno.epub, I get "Este libro no es legible."
I just bought that book off ebooks.elcorteingles.es. Why would it be unreadable?
Última edición por voskat; 12/03/2012 a las 18:08
No idea. I'm afraid you'll have to write to "El Corte Inglés". BTW, can you read it at the PC?
Going crazy with this..
Now ADE suddenly won't recognise the reader anymore. The cervantes no longer appears in the left menu when I connect it (even though I can access the reader through My Computer).
And now it suddenly does appear there. How very random..

The play, which had sold out its run, will extend until Nov. 19. Previews began on Sept. 26 in the Anspacher Theater. The opening is Oct. 10. Ed Harris stars. LaBute also directs. The play had its world premiere at the Everyman Palace Theatre in Cork, Ireland, on Nov. 23, 2005. Harris starred then as well.
Wrecks takes place during a funeral service. Harris plays Ed, a man who has just lost his wife of 30 years, JoJo. The relationship turns out to have been one of enduring love, but also founded on a secret of classical proportions.
Ed Harris received Academy Award nominations for his performances in "Pollock," "The Hours," "The Truman Show" and "Apollo 13." He recently completed filming the title role in "Copying Beethoven" and can currently be seen in "A History of Violence." The actor has appeared on Broadway in Taking Sides and Precious Sons, earning a Drama Desk Award for his work in the latter. Harris' other stage credits include Fool for Love (Obie Award), Prairie Avenue, Scar, A Streetcar Named Desire, The Grapes of Wrath, Sweet Bird of Youth and Simpatico (Lucille Lortel Award).
LaBute's plays include Fat Pig, The Mercy Seat and bash.

For over thousands of years, it's amazing to look back and keep in mind how people's lifestyle has been modified by means of the evolution of expertise. People see superstars as one thing aside from human as a result of there is no private connection or interplay, if understanding them on a private degree had been simpler it could be more difficult psychologically to make the most of them. Talking about the identical, we just lately published an in-depth article about modern expertise at -know-how/. Another prominent critic of technology is Hubert Dreyfus , who has revealed books resembling On the Internet and What Computers Still Can't Do. I strongly agree with the assertion that fashionable expertise is creating a single world tradition. People cannot interact with others round them if they don't see them or hear them.
They stay for the nursery." Similarly in the trendy context, the article goes into details of the damaging results of having an obsession over modern technology. In this point in time, although the previous traces of communication are still available, such as land line telephones and the United States Postal Service, most individuals desire to make use of the brand new technology to allow them to talk immediately with people across the nation or the world over. We can watch it on televisions, or see it on the internet or even simply hear it on the radio.
Technology has additionally elevated our connectivity, with cell phones and different units providing an always-on link to the global communication community. Weber would possibly have a look at this structure and mechanically see how unproductive it truly is. In this case, it is apparent that companies really need departments to observe web utilization if they're concerned about what their workers are doing online on company time. Therefore I conclude that, know-how is good if you know the way to handle your time.
In terms of communication, there are a selection of enhancements which expertise has contributed to the society. In fact, there is currently one widespread satellite tv for pc service provider that has made the DVR technology programmable from a cellular phone! Modern technology permits sources to be expanded and for previously unused ones to be tapped into. I surprise how long we will improve these already extremely advanced gadgets and if there can be much more useful innovations in future.
Thus, we can make certain that the fashionable know-how make life more convenient and this had been proved by the assorted innovations and discoveries made in the last century. Although fashionable expertise has made speaking simpler than it has ever been, it has come at a price. The negative impact of the affect of technology on children shouldn't be underestimated as effectively. One of the areas where trendy expertise is most essential is in the realm of communication. In the trendy world, we explore some of these tombs so that we'd understand the distant and longstanding tradition of Qin Dynasty in China's history.

We hope you enjoyed our Lights Out video in response to the artistic creation from Jimmy Guthrie. He was given a fox's head to decorate in response to Viral Pandas. His creation is beautiful and complex, so we wanted to make sure you got the chance to see what we see up close. Here's a wobbly film of the inside of the eyes.
Take from it what you will.
We felt that perhaps the inside of the fox's head represented the digital self, hidden behind the real face. The mirrors and gems are a distraction like smoke and mirrors: a dazzling, glistening, but disorientating view of the world that takes some examination to comprehend and find some truth in.
This reminds us very much of the work of Yayoi Kusama, below.

Everybody Has heard the expression,"There is no place like home", also knows it elicits a feeling of calmness and tranquility that is safe from the perils of the world about us. However, as much as house may be the location that you wish to escape, you may just look around and believe that a shift is required, much like kitchen remodeling.
A remodel can be looked At as a means to make what's old fresh once more, thus bringing some additional life into a place of the home that maybe has lost a little of its sheen. We are speaking about the areas where homework is completed, record cards are read, educators' letters home have been discussed, and important conclusions as a whole are created. Our fridges have a battering from children and adults alike, and based on how much your cabinets are managed, you might be studying some blue cabinet doors which require upgrading.
All That's, clearly, when you know a thing or 2 about remodeling any space. There's not any such thing as a'regular' project. Granted, your beloved DIY programming does its very best to make everybody feel as if they can manage virtually anything that needs some elbow grease.
– It is crucial to be aware of how much you're opting to invest from the beginning. This will definitely keep your job as financially fair as you can.
Consider Functionality Before Beginning – You may get sucked into the fun & excitement of selecting cool new items to put in on your own kitchen, but have you ever wondered where your dishes will be saved?
Consider Keeping your present Design – The further you physically alter the way that your kitchen is put out, the longer time and cash is going to be sunk in to your remodel.
Be Warned – If you are considering handling gas lines or transferring your present sink & dishwasher positioning, you will probably require building permits from town & may necessitate the hiring of accredited people to perform the job. Again, that is money & time you are losing.
About selling your house, but you want to take into consideration how your kitchen remodel may affect the resale value of your house down the street. What appeals to you along with your family members might not be anybody else's cup of tea, which may translate into a house that sits out there for more than it needs to.
Kitchen remodeling jobs are not any joke, and also the Purpose of getting advice across about their possible pitfalls Is done so to your sanity. However, is it really necessary? You may just discover that keeping matters The way they are and creating smaller changes might be simpler. But if you Still believe you wish to go through the remodeling path, make sure you connect With local, reputable tradesmen who will steer you in the perfect direction

Use Garlic Instead of AntibioticsAugust 28, 2010 No Comments
Use Garlic Instead of Antibiotics
By Kim Evans
Unfortunately, this uncertainty leads many people to doctors' offices for drugs that ultimately do more harm than good. So, here's some simple advice: if you need something that functions like an antibiotic, turn to garlic instead. Garlic is a powerful, natural antibiotic – and it doesn't kill off our healthy bacteria like drug antibiotics do. Unlike chemical antibiotics, garlic is also an effective antiviral and antifungal – and taking just a few cloves of garlic each day can really speed infections away.
In one small trial, seven AIDS patients all had normal T-cell activity after three months of taking the equivalent of two or four garlic cloves each day – and T-cell activity is a key indicator of the AIDS infection. While AIDS may not be your infliction, as one of the most dreaded conditions around, it's helpful to use it to demonstrate the powerful effects of garlic. The patients also showed improvement with other problems like chronic diarrhea, candida overgrowth, genital herpes and a chronic sinus infection. Garlic has also been found to be helpful for conditions including diabetes, high blood pressure, allergies, infections, toothaches, cancer, impotence, colds, heart disease, MRSA, and high cholesterol. And a one-month supply is a few bucks at your local organic market.
The fact that garlic is able to help with so many seemingly unrelated problems also demonstrates how connected different diseases are. The medical establishment likes to isolate diseases and target each with different drugs – just because they produce different symptoms and occur in different areas of the body. But the root causes of diseases that can appear very different are often the same. It's all far more intertwined than you might think.
For garlic to be effective as a healing agent and general antibiotic, it needs to be raw. It should also be crushed and exposed to air for ten minutes before it's consumed to fully activate its key germ-killing compound. And don't worry; raw garlic doesn't have to taste awful.
A simple recipe to make a delicious antibacterial and antiviral drink:
Juice four cloves of garlic
Two tomatoes
One lemon
If you don't have a juicer, simply toss the ingredients into a blender and make a tomato and garlic soup. To either, just add some sea salt; it'll be delicious.
If you have an infection, you can enjoy several of these drinks or soups each day to battle it away without the use of chemical antibiotics that are known to destroy our protective healthy bacteria – often in one fell swoop.

Nice blog. Have you seen your google rating? BlogFlux It's Free and you can add a Little Script to your site that will tell everyone your ranking. I think yours was a 3. I guess you'll have to check it out.
Computer News
Google plans instant-messaging system, report says
Google Inc. is set to introduce its own instant messaging system, the Los Angeles Times reported on Tuesday, marking the expansion by the Web search leader into text and also voice communications.
Citing unnamed sources "familiar with the service," the Los Angeles Times said that Google's Instant Messaging program would be called Google Talk and could be launched as early as Wednesday.
Google Talk goes beyond text-based instant messaging using a computer keyboard to let users hold voice conversations with other computer users, the newspaper quoted a source as saying.
A Google spokeswoman declined to comment on the company's product plans.
If confirmed, the combined computer text and voice-calling service would put Google in competition with a similar service pioneered by Skype, which has attracted tens of millions of users, especially in Europe, to its own service.
Separately, independent journalist Om Malik on his blog at http://gigaom.com/ pointed to technical clues that suggest Google is preparing to run an instant messaging service based on an open-source system known as Jabber.
Jabber technology would allow Google instant message users to connect with established IM systems that also work with Jabber, including America Online's ICQ and Apple Computer Inc.'s iChat, Malik said.
"This is the worst possible news for someone like Skype, because now they will be up against not two but three giants who want to offer a pale-version of Skype," he wrote.
Earlier this week, Google said it was branching out beyond pure search to help users manage e-mail, instant messages, news headlines and music. It introduced a new service called the Google Sidebar, a stand-alone software program that sits on a user's desktop and provides "live" information updates.
Over the past year or so, the company has expanded into e-mail, online maps, personalized news and more.
The product push comes as rivals Yahoo Inc., Microsoft Corp. and Time Warner Inc.'s AOL are all pushing to upgrade existing instant messaging systems and expand into new Internet phone-calling services.
Google's moves take it beyond its roots in Web search and closer to becoming a broad-based Internet media company.
With instant messaging, Google would be breaking into a market in which its major competitors boast tens of millions of subscribers to their established instant messaging services.
America Online, with its AIM and ICQ brands, counts more than 40 million IM users in the United States alone. Yahoo has around 20 million and Microsoft's MSN Messenger numbers some 14 million users, according to recent comScore Media Metrix data.

Good Morning all
We are looking at the Drewtech carDAQ-Plus J2534 pass-thru device as our next diagnostic tool.
Looking at the information available online it would appear to enable same as dealer level of diagnostics and possible technical information.
I am a wear of the subscriptions required and do not really see the problem of charging the customer an additional amount to cover these hourly or daily amounts for "manufacture technical information"
We currently use a good old Launce X431, Snap on Verdict and Tech II along with the Pico 4 channel scope to confirm.
Tech data we use Autodata and All data.
So my question is.. is the CarDAQ the next tool to get?
What are they like to use and live with on a daily basis?
Any feedback would be much appreciated

Generally, it's Labor Day or right around there when the hockey daydreams start.
Summer's coming to an end, NFL season opens, and you know there's something else going on. There are skates on the ice, the loud thud of vulcanized rubber against wood.
By now, you've cleared the nightmares of last season out of your head. You no longer see Patrick Sharp finding Roberto Luongo's chest in OT of Game 7. You don't see the Campoli turnover -- because you won't let yourself remember what came next.
You've stopped wondering how they could fritter away those games in February to Columbus or Minnesota or Dallas or whatever else they did as they told you everything would be ok. You no longer think, "What if this had happened?"
No, right about now, after all the moves have been made the rosters look set, after all the quotes are in and the contracts signed, after all the experts have chimed in and made predictions based on nothing but lines on paper, you only look forward.
I see you there, at your desk, with assignments pilling up, and all you're doing is trying to figure out if Kane and Toews play on the same line this year. I know, with a boss wondering where this or that is, you're configuring your own power play units. You head to the break room, wondering if at some point Steve Montador will light up Alex Burrows.
You drink your coffee, perhaps pretending to read the paper, but you're thinking about the first visit of Vancouver, or your first game at the United Center this season. Midseason trades, injuries, Kane wonder-goals, Toews-determination, the frustrating losses, the OT winners, the following of the standings. You're doing it all, right now. I know.
Winter is coming. Smile.

- 113g demerara sugar plus some for sprinkling
- 113g margarine
- 113g dried mixed fruit (currants, sultanas, peel etc.)
- 1 egg
- a splash of milk
- 1/2 tsp ground mixed spice
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon (if, like me, you are cinnamons biggest fan, then add a whole tsp instead of half.)
- Preheat the oven to 175C. Sieve the flour into a large mixing bowl and then add the ground mixed spice and the cinnamon. Mix through well.
- Next, add the margarine and mix to resemble fine breadcrumbs with your fingers. Add the sugar and then mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Pour a beaten egg into the mixture until it comes together to a sticky, dough ball. You made need a little milk at this point but add it a splash at a time.
- Place the mixture in generous lumps on a baking tray and then sprinkle with sugar. Don't smooth them out too much at this stage as they look much better when cooked, if they remain lumpy.
- Bake in the oven for 10-20 minutes, or until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- Then Enjoy! They are perfect with cups of tea and coffee and delicious with clotted cream when still warm from the oven!!

10/13/2008 Update- More info on why posts get published- or not!All comments are published unless they are spam, trolling, or irrelevant to the discussion of the Gosselin family. We don't require an email or even a signature.Comments don't have to be brilliant or profound, but they should be something more substantial than you would type in a chatroom and something civil enough that you would be OK with your Mom reading over your shoulder.All viewpoints regarding the Gosselin family are welcome, but if your comment is nothing more than a diatribe about the sanity of the other people posting here or any variation thereof, it will probably just go into a black hole. Same with quoting Scriptures -- not everyone here is a Christian or even believes in the Christian deity.
Finally, unverified or unauthorized links/information will be removed from the comment section.
Why did the TWoP thread close?
Basically, TWoP said that they were tired of people not following the rules. They left it open as long as possible because they didn't want to shut it down due to troublemakers breaking the rules on purpose to sabotage it and force them to close it. (Troublemakers being those who did not like the negativity being posted on TWoP.)But they said that it got to the point where, in their opinion, even the "regulars" -- those who should know better -- were repeatedly breaking the rules and they just did not want to devote the manpower to continue to deal with it.You can read our blog entry and comments regarding this topic.
Don't you have anything better to do than worry about a family on a reality TV show?
Yes, we are quite capable of multi-tasking. In addition to advocating for the Gosselin children and exposing the deceptive practices of their parents, we are raising children, we have jobs, we read, garden, travel, cook, knit, play sports, etc. Not to mention tons of volunteer work of many various kinds. Participating in a blog need not imply that one has "nothing better to do".
Why a blog to spew hate? (aka You're just jealous!)
The purpose of this blog is not to spew hate; the purpose of this blog is to make sure people know the full story behind the Gosselin family. How they are deceiving the public and robbing their children of a childhood.
What's to envy? We would never be jealous of parents who exploit their children and deceive their fans so as to encourage their "love offerings". We want to be able to sleep at night.
You're just a bunch of ol' cat ladies with no kids of your own, right?
Wrong. Some of us do have pets. Most of us are parents and grandparents with busy, fulfilling lives -- including careers in Social Work and in the Family Courts as Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA workers). Some of us also have careers in the field of law. In fact, many of us are quite highly educated... masters, law degrees, and beyond.Of course, an education doesn't automatically impute wisdom or credibility, but we certainly aren't forming our opinions in a vacuum. Our mutual concern for the welfare of children in general causes us to be deeply disturbed by the exploitation of the Gosselin children.
If it bothers you so much, why watch it? Doesn't that make you part of the exploitation? (aka Just change the channel!)
We can't challenge what we don't know. The best way to advocate for the children is to know what is happening in their lives. If the exploitation of the Gosselin children is never challenged, it will set a dangerous precedent for other children that come after them. We think it is better to try to get it nipped in the bud than to look the other way. Also, we do make it a point to note who the show's sponsors are and boycott them.
What's wrong with freebies?
Nothing at all- unless you have to...
- pimp out your kids to get them.
- force your kids to work in front of cameras three, four or even more days a week, all day long, just to get them.
- deny your children basic human privacy and dignity to get them and you begin to expect them and feel entitled to them or owed them, and the ones that aren't "good enough" for you get criticized or outright rejected.
People can worry about more than one child at a time. Worrying about the Gosselin children does not preclude worrying about other children, or other weighty issues in general. The damage done to exploited children is not always manifested by bruises, broken bones, or other physical evidence. In fact, emotional abuse is the most insidious and resistant to healing, often marginalized by people with the attitude that children being beaten, starved, or molested have it "worse".

Bill Clinton has been one of the biggest and earliest supporters of Kendrick Meek's Senate candidacy. He's been headlining fundraisers for Meek since early 2009 and is steadfast in his support. In fact, he'll be in South Florida in a week and a half to campaign on behalf of Meek. The events come just two days before President Obama comes to Miami with no plans to campaign for Meek.
Clinton will be coming down Aug. 16th and hitting up all three counties in South Florida:
In Palm Beach County:
Delray Community Center
50 Northwest 1st Avenue, Delray Beach
Doors open at 4:30 pm
In Broward County:
The Signature Grand
6900 West State Road 84, Davie
Doors open at 6:45 pm
In Miami:
Gusman Theatre
174 East Flagler Street
Doors open at 8:30 pm

The events are open to the public, but it's a good idea to register for tickets on Meek's website.
Meek supported Hillary Clinton during the 2008 primary, and got to know the former president on the campaign trail.
Meek hasn't gotten much support from other major democrats, most notably very campaign little love from President Obama. The Prez will be hosting a fundraiser with Alex Sink two days later on August 18, and there's no word on whether or not Meek has even been invited.
Some Democrat leaders have either written off any Democrats chances at winning the Senate in Florida in favor of holding the side door open in favor of independent Charlie Crist.

4-Point Inspection in Miami
The Four Point Insurance Inspection also known as 4-Point Inspection is created after Hurricane Andrew struck Florida in 1992. It is performed on behalf of the insurance companies and, typically, as a requirement for the insurer offering protection to the new homeowner. After last year's barrage of hurricanes in Florida, the Four Point Insurance Inspection has taken on added importance. As insurance companies are beginning to see the benefit of the inspection, the program is spreading to other areas of the country. The advantage to the insurance company is, of course, reduced loss risk on homeowners insurance policies. It is an area of business that has, for many years, been a money loser for insurance companies.
In 2002, the Florida Legislature passed a law that combined the Florida Residential Property and Casualty Joint Underwriting Association (FRPCJUA) and the Florida Windstorm Underwriting Association (FWUA). It resulted in the creation of Citizens Property Insurance Corporation (Citizens), which effectively provides insurance to, and serves the needs of, homeowners in high-risk areas and others who cannot find coverage in the open, private insurance market. By law Citizens insurance must be the most expensive insurance policy on the market. It is funded by premiums paid by the insured and from other insurance companies paying into the program to reduce their overall losses.
Citizens started the four point insurance inspections, they have quickly spread to most, if not all of the insurance companies that provide coverage in Florida. Several insurance agencies in the Alachua county area have been recommending the 4 point inspection for some time now.
The 4-Point Inspection in Miami is consists of a visual survey of the following four primary components:
- Roof
- Electrical
- HVAC (Heat, Ventilation & Air Conditioning)
- Plumbing
The insurance companies are expecting the condition of the components listed above to be working as intended within the manufacturer's specifications. The insurance companies are looking for the four systems to be in generally good working condition and fulfilling their intended function. If the home is an older home, the insurance companies want to see that the systems are up to date.
The criteria used to judge the components include:
- Current Operating Conditions
- Deficiencies, Repairs and or Safety/Fire Concerns
- Expected Life Service
Why do I need a four point inspection?
Insurance companies have become increasingly reluctant to issue Homeowner Insurance Policies on older homes (usually 30 years old or more). Their common concern is that there may be conditions in an older home that could become a liability to them. For instance; a home with a roof nearing the end of its reliable service life may fail while under the policy and the homeowner may seek reimbursement from their insurance company for damages to the home or its contents. Similar concerns extend to the condition of the HVAC, electrical and plumbing systems in an older home. If these elements are in poor condition, in need of being updated or replaced or were improperly installed, they may fail and cause a fire or water damage to a home.

FreedomWorks is disappointed that the U.S. Senate voted down a "motion to proceed" to a final vote on S. J. Res. 26., Sen. Lisa Murkowski's resolution of disapproval of the EPA's (Environmental Protection Agency's) carbon dioxide regulations. Today's vote clears the way for the EPA to enact sweeping new regulations that will have significant impact on consumers and small businesses. The EPA is already moving forward with these regulations, despite the fact that Congress itself has yet to address climate change.
"This is clearly a case where unelected officials at the Environmental Protection Agency will be leapfrogging Congress, which is not finished with its deliberations on climate change. A decision of this magnitude should be made by the legislative body, which is responsible to the voters," said Matt Kibbe, president of FreedomWorks. "Once again, Washington is ignoring grassroots America to pursue its own agenda. And it's doing so by sneaking climate change regulations through the back door."
The motion to proceed, which failed on a 47-53 vote, would have stopped the EPA from using the Clean Air Act to impose new regulations on carbon dioxide emissions. Doing so will be both costly and burdensome, because the Clean Air Act was meant to regulate specific pollutants, and not something as widespread as carbon dioxide, which is a byproduct of almost all economic activity. Even the EPA recognizes this problem, and has proposed a "tailoring rule" to exempt some businesses from the regulations. But the Clean Air Act does not allow such arbitrary discretion, and the "tailoring rule" will most likely be bogged down in legal battles that it may not survive.
"Using the Clean Air Act to regulate carbon dioxide is like using a hammer to drive a screw; it's the wrong tool for the wrong job," said Kibbe. "Congress is supposed to tackle these tough decisions because they can be held accountable by the people; instead, they are handing these decisions over to unelected bureaucrats with little oversight. Unfortunately, consumers will bear the burden of the EPA's actions, just like they did with the TARP bailout—another instance where the legislature abdicated it's responsibility to make law and instead just ceded power to the executive branch bureaucrats. And we all know the problems that created."

The degenerate left stands with Islam. Even American Gay leadership stands with Islam.
LGBT leadership stands with adherents to this viciously homophobic ideology that calls for their slaughter. When I created ads highlighting Muslim oppression of gays under Islamic law and ran them in San Francisco, the gay capital of America, gay leaders and organizations attacked me.
Read the whole story in my book: FATWA: HUNTED IN AMERICA.
I spoke at an LGBT event at the RNC decrying the treatment of gays under Islam, and the mainstream media attacked the event with a vengeance. This is leftist leadership. They condemn me (and my colleagues) who oppose the most brutal and extreme ideology on the face of the earth, while stumping for their executioners. They were loud and proud against our ads (below) hihgliting the brutal oppression and subjugation of gays under sharia. They were holding press conferences condemning me. Gay organizations in America say nothing about this, but loudly condemned my ad campaign highlighting Muslim oppression of gays under the sharia. That includes the San Francisco Board of Examiners, the Human Rights Commission, SFHRC head transgender Theresa Sparks, but most especially the enemedia. They called our ads hate and issued a resolution condemning our AFDI ad campaign (the first of its kind) against our organization for merely quoting Muslim political leaders, spiritual leaders and cultural voices in the Muslim community who call for the torture and death of gay people.

Indonesian city of Pariaman to fine LGBTI people for 'immoral behaviour
ABC.net, December 2018:
An Indonesian city has approved a new by-law to fine gay or transgender people up to 1 million rupiah ($96) for behaviour that could "disturb public order" or be considered immoral, the city's deputy mayor said on Friday.
Key points:
- Indonesian city of Pariaman wants to "eradicate LGBT" people
- New by-law bans any activities that "disturb public order" and are "immoral acts with the same sex"
- Human Rights Watch says the new by-law is unconstitutional and discriminatory
The regulation is the latest example of a rise in government and public hostility toward the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community in the world's largest Muslim-majority country.
Homosexuality is not regulated by law in Indonesia, except in the conservative province of Aceh, but the country has seen a growing number of by-laws targeting LGBT people.
The council in the city of Pariaman in West Sumatra passed a regulation on Tuesday banning "acts that are considered LGBT", deputy mayor Mardison Mahyudin said.
The regulation, revising an existing public order bylaw, would be evaluated by the Governor within 15 days, he said, adding that it was part of the city's effort to "eradicate LGBT".
"According to our customs, the Minang customs, we are against such acts and behaviour," he said.
The Minang are one of the main ethnic groups living in that part of Sumatra island.
The regulation contains clauses to penalise LGBT people "who conduct activity that disturbs public order" or commit "immoral acts with the same sex", according to a local media report citing the by-law.
Andreas Harsono, a researcher at Human Rights Watch, said the regulation was unconstitutional for being discriminatory.
"It's a local ordinance that has no grounds on Indonesia's constitution nor other national laws," he told.
"It's just another sign that Indonesia is increasingly having two legal systems: the constitutional one and the so-called Islamic sharia system."

I can't. I just died. *dies*
I want this as a poster on my wall so effing bad…
The most epic gif set you will see all day.
See? It didn't have to be so hard.
d00d… This is insane. I want to go here.
Just sayin'.
Artist Joao Pires has created a series of wrenching portraits of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles facing their final battle. In each illustration, one of the bruised and battered turtles mourns his fallen brothers.
This is a gorgeously depressing series. What gets me, however, is that many commenters seem to complain about the lack of the fun-loving personality that the cartoon had. They don't seem to realize that this is also the very thing that is not present in the original comics. One person gets it right and points it out nicely:
Sadly,people forget how violent and gritty the original Eastman & Laird comic was. In the very first issue of the comic series, Splinter reveals why he's been training the turtles for 13 years: to kill Shredder. Not "bring him to justice" or "stop the evil foot clan," but specifically to murder this one man for Splinter's personal revenge. They were single-purposed hit-turtles, trained in Ninjutsu by their insane master for over a decade just to take one life. The original comic doesn't show much of that lovable father-son relationship that the turtles have with Splinter in the cartoon, either. They are not a loving family obliging their master's wishes out of affection and duty; they're just Splinter's pre-programmed death machines.
Boom. And there it is. Yes, some of the comic was a bit goofy, but it was, for the most part, very dark and very violent. This fan-art series gets right to the heart of that, and takes it a step further. Depressing? Yes, but it's also quite humbling and brilliant.
… um.
It's been awhile since I've put together a playlist/mix, but I'm back! Enjoy, fellow metal heads!
"Full Metal Mix (9/16/2013)"
Nailed it
My afternoon.
Been a crazy stupid holiday week. It's finally Friday, and I think an early beer is in order. Looks like I may have two beers tonight. *grabs infinite beer can #1*
For those who don't know, a crazy stupid holiday week is any week with Monday as a holiday. I have Mondays off anyway, so the holiday itself doesn't effect me. What DOES happen, however, is my longer days get shortened. "Well, that's not so bad," one might think. For someone like me, it is. I'm used to having my longer days, because that's how I get things done. Cut two hours off my day, and I have to basically hit the ground running and rush through my entire week. I hate rushing. It sucks. It wears me out. By the time Friday afternoon comes, I'm more wiped out than if I had worked my whole week with longer days. Therefore, I've earned my double infinite beer.
For those who don't know what an infinite beer is, it's basically a pint that seems to last forever, because I don't drink my beer fast, and I keep the bottle/can in a frozen insulated cozie. Therefore, my beer that seems to last forever is also forever cold. It's perfect.
Winning at life.
Some snakes are super light and can flatten their body to glide through the air. The air used to be safe. Snakes don't need planes anymore.
why is this hilarious to me

More porn: just what Israel doesn't need
I came to Israel twenty-five years ago, a decade after the founding of the Tel Aviv Sexual Assault Crisis Center in 1978. Throughout my time in Israel, there have been more than a few American imports that I have enjoyed. I was delighted to have Skippy peanut butter available at my corner store. I was thrilled when Heinz ketchup arrived. But, somehow, I managed to survive in this country without Playboy. As a woman, a mother, and the current director of the Tel Aviv Sexual Assault Crisis Center, I won't be cheering when Playboy hits the stores. The magazine's introduction into the local market undermines the progress of the Israeli feminist movement and will inevitably exacerbate the presence of sexual assault in our society.
Like Daniel Pomerantz, Playboy Israel's owner and CEO, I too enjoy the absence of cars on the road during Yom Kippur. And I enjoy the culture that the city of Tel Aviv offers to its residents just as much as the next person. But, unfortunately, there is more to Israel than fashion shows, gay pride parades and peaceful strolls in Jaffa to the sounds of the Muslim call to prayer. Alongside the beautiful parts, I've also witnessed the darker side of Israel. One out of three women in Israel has been sexually assaulted. One out of five women has been raped. One out of seven is a victim of incest. In a recent survey conducted by the municipality of Tel Aviv and the Sexual Assault Crisis Center, we found that 83 percent of Tel Aviv's female population has reported being sexually harassed at least once in their lives. According to a survey conducted by the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor, 35-40 percent of women have been sexually harassed at the workplace. Playboy's blatant commoditization of women's bodies will only make the situation worse.
Playboy's arrival will harm the bodies and psyches of women and girls. The correlation between physical and mental damage and highly sexualized images of women has been amply demonstrated. In 2002, a study reported that between 60 and 80 percent of Israeli adolescents are dissatisfied with their weight and shape, although the vast majority of these adolescents had normal, or even low weight. Eating disorders are a global epidemic, with 1,500 new cases annually in Israel alone. Ninety percent of those cases are among women and girls. Girls as young as nine years old are exhibiting symptoms of eating disorders, including extreme dieting, fear of gaining weight and binge eating. Unrealistic portrayals of women in the media are driving women to drastic levels of discomfort with their bodies. This information has concerned the state of Israel, and the Knesset passed a law banning underweight models from appearing in the media, runway shows, and advertising. Introducing a new outlet for dramatically Photoshopped, and hyper-sexualized women, is a leap in the wrong direction.
Playboy's infamous pictorials will not only prompt women to injure themselves, but will also promote a culture in which men are increasingly hostile to women. Diana E.H. Russell, an expert in rape and sexual abuse, found that:
Pornography appears to foster rape fantasies and desires in the men who view it… recent research suggests that pornography also plays a role in overcoming internal barriers against acting out these desires, as well as in eroding external barriers by contributing to the cultural supports for rape. …[I]t seems that pornography may contribute to the undermining of some women's assertiveness of what sexual acts they do not wish to engage in.
According to the statistics of rape crisis centers throughout Israel, both sexual perpetrators and victims are getting younger. To have readily available and culturally accepted pornography flooding the Israeli market would only exacerbate that statistic.
The images in Playboy work to reduce women to their physicality, as hollow receptacles for male desire. Women are portrayed as willing and eager subjects for every advance, worth little more than the price of a magazine. Female autonomy and healthy sexuality are erased, replaced with a reader's fantasies. Women are infantilized and animalized in a demeaning fashion (think "bunnies"), reinforcing male supremacy through the graphic subjugation of women. There is nothing "glamorous" about this dehumanization, which serves to reinforce a culture that disrespects and violates women. The message may be subliminally wrapped in a magazine package, but the repercussions are evident. The evidence of the negative effects of sexualized images of women on both men and women's behavior is as clear as day. Yet our friend Pomerantz seems to think Playboy will show "the nice side of Israel."
Had Pomerantz done his research, he would have found a fiercely critical voice from within the Playboy camp itself: Izabella St. James. St. James was a Playboy Bunny, and wrote a withering book, Bunny Tales, about the experience. Her recollections said nothing about Playboy's "freedom and modernity," as Pomerantz put it. Far from it. St. James was a former girlfriend of Hugh Hefner's (at the time she was one of seven girlfriends) and lived with him in the Playboy Mansion. Bunny Tales paints a graphic picture of Hugh Hefner's personality behind closed doors. Far from the genteel bon vivant of his public persona, the Hef they knew was a temperamental curmudgeon who gave weekly allowances, popped Viagra faithfully two nights a week so he could participate in excruciatingly awkward orgies with his troupe of girlfriends (who he encouraged to call him Daddy in the throes of fake orgasms), and enforced strict 9 PM curfews. To see Playboy as empowering, or progressive, is buying into the carefully edited spin that Hefner has created himself.
Pomerantz describes Playboy as a "forum for argument and serious thought." If the articles are so well-written, informative and valuable to readers, why include the nude women at all? This kind of rhetoric is a smokescreen to legitimize the mass publication of objectified women. Additionally, there are many more noble and effective ways to highlight the positive sides of Israel. Why not show the world Israel's impressive developments in the fields of medicine and technology? Are naked women really the best this country has to distract from economic inequality and tense relations with every neighboring population? At a time when boys and men around the world are slobbering over Bar Rafaeli making out with a nerd in a Super Bowl commercial, the exploitation of Israeli women is in full force. A local edition of Playboy is utterly gratuitous, superfluous, and insulting.
Personally, I'm very proud that the Sexual Assault Crisis Center made aliya 34 years ago, and as far as I'm concerned, the Ministry of Absorption should close its doors to Israel's newest immigrant, Playboy. If Pomerantz sees Playboy's introduction to Israel as highlighting the country's nice side, I'm terrified to see his definition of the bad.

Bill Bader Jr. didn't need Jim Cantore to tell him he had a weather emergency. All he had to do was survey the grounds at Summit Racing Equipment Motorsports Park.
His parking lots were flooded. He stood in water that was more than ankle deep. When he unloaded a road roller in an attempt to effect repairs, "the thing immediately sank 2 ½ to 3 feet into the ground."
That's the kind of historic weather his northern Ohio track, located less than 20 miles south of Lake Erie, endured. It's why NHRA and Bader put their heads together and postponed the sportsman portion of the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals, originally scheduled for June 20-23, and trimmed the program to three days.
The sportsman action has been rescheduled for Sept. 5-6, which is the Friday and Saturday following the Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis.
"We'll probably do a Wednesday move-in, a free test-and-tune for all the racers, and qualifying on Thursday," Bader told CompetitionPlus.com on June 28. "We'll do as much of eliminations as we can that Friday, and that will give us a Saturday and Sunday. My Edelbrock Super Series season championship is that weekend, too."
It didn't take long for Bader, who is the track's president and equal partner to his father, Bill Sr., as the facility owner, to realize that the rain had created a situation that would require an extreme solution. Conversations with NHRA about the constant rain began June 11, and at one point that week, the track had been deluged by 6-plus inches of water.
"We were flooded," Bader said. "It was at that point that I had to make some tough decisions about camping. We had 600-plus campsites that we had to refund, so that was the first domino to fall, if you will. We put together call teams" that from June 14-16 and "reached out to over 600 credential holders that had camping or motorhome spots that we were refunding all their tickets. We tried to find some alternative campgrounds in the area, we tried to look at a shuttle system, and I just couldn't do it.
"Then we started talking about sportsman. We had conversions the 14th, 15th and 16th and actually decided on Sunday morning, the 16th, around 9:30, to postpone the sportsman part of the program. That was based on the amount of rain we had had all year, the amount of rain we had that week, the amount of rain we had that weekend."
It wasn't simply that Huron County had gotten wet, it had been deluged for days on end.
"It came inches at a time, not tenths of inches at a time," Bader said. "I have a farmer friend … who's nearly 80 years old, and he told me he's never seen the ground this wet in his entire life. I do know that (Gov. Mike DeWine) is trying to issue some legislation to get some emergency relief for farmers because the vast majority of ground has gone unplanted. I don't know how many inches, but I know it's just been ridiculous."
Then, once the camping situation was addressed, there was the issue of what to do about the sportsman portion of the program; racers who were to be parked on the wetter side of the facility.
"It wasn't like, 'OK, eliminate sportsman, end of story,' we talked about it for four or five days," said Bader, a fan of sportsman competition because "there's some pretty damn good racing in some of those categories."
Hosting a national event without sportsman action is "like going into a sporting event with only half the show," he said. "We're still charging full price at the gate, and we now had one less day; not a four-day national event, a three-day national event." That Thursday, June 20, which was originally set to be the first day of the race, 3 more inches of rain fell at the track.
"It felt very strange not having 350-plus race cars on the Summit side of the track," Bader said. "I felt a little naked, for sure, since so many of those folks are friends that I look forward to seeing and visiting with. There was no way -- in hindsight, having three beautiful days, could you have run sportsman? -- I had 10 vehicles get stuck over the weekend; all of them were motorhomes on the Summit side. There is no doubt in my mind that had we tried to park race cars, that would have been a disastrous outcome."
In order to accommodate fans on Friday, June 21, on the heels of Thursday's downpour, Bader's staff guided spectators into the drier parts of three parking lots. The staff would open the parts of two lots that could handle parking while a third lot was getting gravel spread in its wettest areas. When that third lot was suitable, traffic was directed into it and the gravel crews moved to the wetter parts of one of the other lots, and so forth.
"We made two complete rotations, so each of our three parking lots were closed twice throughout the day on Friday," Bader said. "We came back Saturday to better conditions, and by Sunday, Day 3, the ground was really starting to firm up."
With the race finally in the books -- for the professional categories, at least -- Bader was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
"I would prefer to never have another national event without sportsman racing, but I would also say that I think the right decision was made," he said. "From a success perspective, the event was really well attended. We had made lots of adjustments, we had made lots of refunds in advance, so we're going through and making all those adjustments. But my expectations were very low going into that weekend, and I think we had a hell of an event.
"The thing may have even been up from last year. I don't want to say that too loudly, I don't know that it's just a gut feeling."
And wouldn't you know it, once that 3-plus inches fell on Thursday, June 20, "we have had not had one drop of rain," Bader said.
With a laugh, he added, "We'll probably go into a drought now."

Found this place close to my house to get some help in treating my wrist tendinitis.
I booked an appointment through their website, got a confirmation call for an appointment at7:00AM. All looked good until I reached there and found that the staff there has no clue about who I am and what appointment I am talking about.
The clinic looked not so busy, so I checked if there is anybody who can attend me, but realized there were no physios either at that time.
I am never going to visit this place and would urge you all to double check your appointments before you visit them.

(Note: The Rude Pundit is in Los Angeles for a few days this week. So blogging will be light and quick, like his liaisons on the Left Coast. You can hear him each morning through Thursday on The Stephanie Miller Show, which probably needs to update his bio.)
In a display of too-little-too-late-ism that ranks up there with "Flowers from a cheating husband," John Kasich and Ted Cruz have agreed on a kind of alliance of fuckery, a Megazord of fail, if you will. Said a spokesturd for Cruz, "To ensure that we nominate a Republican who can unify the Republican Party and win in November, our campaign will focus its time and resources in Indiana and in turn clear the path for Gov. Kasich to compete in Oregon and New Mexico."
Meanwhile, John Kasich's campaign said something that no one gives a shit about.
That's the grand strategy. It's like fouling your opponent in basketball at the end of a game in an often vain attempt to eke out enough points to win. Or when a soccer player rolls around on the ground like he's been ass-raped by a gorilla after he's really been barely touched.
In other words, give it up, Cruz and Kasich. This whole thing is over. You can pretend there's gonna be an open convention and there will be some mighty fight to the death. But it's too late. The pooch has been screwed.
And after Trump wrecks both of them in Pennsylvania and mocks them relentlessly for this strategy (which he's already doing), it's gonna be pathetic watching those campaigns limp around until they finally have the sense to just lay down and fade away.

This book covers a series of security and privacy issues in network coding, and introduces three concrete mechanisms to address them. These mechanisms leverage traditional cryptographic primitives and anonymous protocols, and are redesigned to fit into the new framework of network coding. These three mechanisms are MacSig, a new message authentication method for network-coded systems; P-Coding, a new encryption scheme to secure network-coding-based transmissions; and ANOC, a new anonymous routing protocol that seamlessly integrates anonymous routing with network coding.
Along with these three mechanisms, the authors provide a review of network coding's benefits, applications, and security problems. Also included is a detailed overview of security issues in the field, with an explanation of how the security issues differ from those in traditional settings. While network coding can help improve network performance, the adoption of network coding can be greatly limited unless security and privacy threats are addressed.
Designed for researchers and professionals, Security in Network Coding explores major challenges in network coding and offers practical solutions. Advanced-level students studying networking or system security will also find the content valuable.

Young Turks Pace Sox to Victory Over Rockies
Two springs ago, my White Sox posse and I marveled at the number of legitimate future stars there were on the Sox horizon. Among them were Gordon Beckham, Tyler Flowers (pictured above), Jordan Danks and Dayan Viciedo.
At least three of these "can't miss" candidates took a step back in 2010. Beckham got off to a horrible start after a fine rookie season and ended the season injured. Flowers disappointed and there were whispers that he was no longer held in the high esteem as he was when he was acquired from the Braves in the Javy Vazquez deal. Little brother Jordan, who before last season was looked upon as a possible midseason call-up, gave no signs of being ready during the season at Birmingham. Viciedo didn't necessarily take a step back, but he spent most of the season in the minors and transitioned from third to first. Despite his high strikeout ratio and inability to draw walks, his "electric bat" was impressive in his short stint in Chicago.
If yesterday was any indication, it's a new day as the quartet led the Pale Hose to a 9-8 victory over the Rockies at Camelback Ranch.
–Beckham went 3 for 4 with an RBI
–Flowers went 2 for 2 with a homer and a pair of RBIs
–Danks went 2 for 4 with a pair of RBIs
–Viciedo went 3 for 4 with an RBI
More Ups:
Mark Teahen went 2 for 2 with a walk and an RBI, but the big news here is that he didn't commit an error at third after recording four throwing errors in his last two games…Alejandro De Aza went 2 for 5…After pounding out 31 hits in the two games yesterday, the Sox came back with 17 today…Reliever Anthony Carter pitched a scoreless 1 2/3 innings.
The Downs:
With eight runs on the Rockies scoreboard, it's no surprise that the pitchers were today's culprits…John Danks gave up two runs, including a homer, five hits and three walks in 3 1/3 innings of work…Matt Thornton surrendered two runs, two hits, a walk and blew a save in the seventh, although he got credit for the win…Freddy Dolsi gave up two runs and four hits in the eighth and Miguel Socolovich gave up a homer in the ninth before getting credit for the save.
The Sox travel to Scottsdale tomorrow to face the World Champion Giants.

This project has been a long time in the making so I am very excited to announce the publication of You're Joking: Animal Jokes for Children. The idea for this book began because my sister-in-law, May Farnsworth, and her 5-year-old daughter love to tell each other jokes. They began playing a game where her daughter would tell her the name of an animal and May would come up with a joke. When they went to the bookstore to look for books with jokes they could only find books full of text with no illustrations. That is when May contacted me with the idea to make our own illustrated joke book.
I began work on the book about five years ago. The illustration process probably took me a little over one year, fitting it in between my freelance work. To me, the most interesting part of making these illustrations was seeing how my simple sketches could be worked into full color finished work. Here are a few examples.
|Skunk Sketches
|Skunk outlined in Illustrator
|Skunk shading in Photoshop
As you can see I start with a very simple sketch which I scan and bring into Illustrator. Once in Illustrator I trace my sketch to outline all of the forms. Then each leg, arm, head, nose, ear, etc. is brought into Photoshop in a different layer where I do the shading to complete the final illustration. It is a tedious process but I love the soft, subtle shading you can do in Photoshop.
|Pig Sketch
|Pig sketch outlined in Illustrator
|Shaded version done in Photoshop
The final book includes 30 pages of illustrated jokes and a "Did You Know" section with fun facts about each animal in the book. You're Joking features everything from hungry jellyfish to fancy flies to playful armadillos. This book is perfect for the young reader interested in telling jokes and learning puns, and/or the budding biologist (not to mention those who just love beautifully illustrated books).
The book is now available at Amazon.com or Black Rose Publications. I would greatly appreciate any help in spreading the word about our new book. Also, if you feel so inclined, please leave a review on Amazon.
If I have any words of wisdom out there for someone who wants to write, publish, or illustrate their own children's book, it is to "BE TENACIOUS". Keep working at it, keep sending it out, and above all...make it happen in some way, shape or form. (Oh, and also try and have "pun" while your at it!)

State threatens to take over Isle's public housing rebuild
GALVESTON — The General Land Office said Thursday that it could take over the rebuilding of hurricane-damaged public housing in Galveston if the city housing authority fails to meet a deadline for submitting a plan the state agency can approve.
"Our staff doesn't feel like they have been meeting in good faith," agency spokesman Jim Suydam said about the Galveston Housing Authority. Suydam said the authority has only rebuilt 40 of the 569 units damaged beyond repair by Hurricane Ike more than three years ago and its plans don't make financial sense.
The land office sent a letter to Housing Authority Director Stanley Lowe Tuesday accusing the authority of failing to cooperate. "This will be the last opportunity for the GHA to provide a fundable financing plan and narrative," the letter said. The letter set an April 23 deadline for receiving a plan.
Shocked by letter
Lowe said he was shocked by the letter and accused the agency of failing to approve financing plans endorsed by U.S. Housing and Urban Development officials. He said the agency refuses to acknowledge the plan can be financed in stages as is done nationwide.
Suydam's comments came in response to a housing authority board decision Wednesday to a change that is certain to run afoul of the agency and two housing advocacy groups. The authority will ask HUD for permission to reduce the total number of rebuilt public housing units by 170 units, putting the authority in violation of an agreement with Lone Star Legal aid and a conciliation agreement two housing advocacy groups reached with the state and federal housing officials.
Under the new plan, which must be approved by the land office, 170 former public housing residents who have been transferred to a rental-voucher program would remain in the voucher program,.
Texas Appleseed and the Texas Low Income Housing Information Service reached the conciliation agreement after Ike to rebuild all 569 Ike-damaged units. Texas Appleseed attorney Maddie Sloan declined to comment until the housing authority formally submits its plan. Lone Star and the Texas Low Income Housing Information Service did not respond to a request for comment.
The two advocacy agencies made clear that they would oppose anything other than rebuilding all 569 units when they met March 21 with Lowe.
Rebuild all 569 units?
Suydam said the land office will require the city to rebuild all 569 units.
Authority Chairwoman Betty Massey blamed the change adopted Wednesday on the agency's insistence that the city rebuild traditional, concentrated public housing rather than mixed-income housing.
"This housing authority is not going to rebuild 100 percent public housing on one site," she said. "It didn't work in the first place and it wasn't a healthy place for residents and it wasn't a healthy part of the community."
The housing authority wants to build mixed-income housing that would include housing rented at market rates and managed by the developer, St. Louis, Mo.-based McCormack Baron Salazar. The plan aims to lift public housing residents out of poverty with job and education programs.
Suydam said the land office is not opposed to mixed-income housing, but it refuses to allow federal money to be spent on houses rented for private profit.
