VATICAN CITY, FEB 13, 2005 (VIS) - The annual spiritual exercises for the Holy Father and the Roman Curia began this evening at 6 p.m. in the Redemptoris Mater Chapel with Eucharistic exposition, the celebration of Vespers, an introductory meditation, adoration and Eucharistic benediction. Bishop Renato Corti of Novara, Italy, is preaching the retreat on the theme "The Church at the service of the new and eternal covenant."

  On the occasion of the Year of the Eucharist, the conclusion of the spiritual exercises will take place in the Vatican Basilica at 10 a.m. on Saturday, February 19 with a Eucharistic concelebration, followed by a period of adoration. Members of the Roman Curia, the vicariate of Rome and employees of the Holy See are all invited to attend.

VATICAN CITY, FEB 13, 2005 (VIS) - At midday today, the Pope appeared at the window of his private study to pray the Angelus with thousands of people gathered below in St Peter's Square.

  Prior to the Marian prayer, Archbishop Leonardo Sandri, substitute of the Secretariat of State, read a text prepared by the Holy Father.

  "I would like to thank you all," the Holy Father writes, "including those who are following us on radio and television, for your closeness, affection and, above all, your prayers during the days I spent in the Gemelli Polyclinic. I always feel the need for your help before the Lord, in order to carry out the mission that Jesus has entrusted to me."

  After recalling that Lent began last Wednesday with the imposition of ashes, John Paul II affirms that this liturgical time "reminds us of a fundamental truth: we do not enter eternal life without carrying our cross together with Christ. We do not achieve happiness and peace without courageously facing the interior struggle. This struggle is won with the arms of penitence: prayer, fasting and works of mercy. And all must be done secretly, without hypocrisy, in a spirit of sincere love towards God and our brothers and sisters."

  Before closing, the Pope asks the faithful to pray for him and his collaborators in the Roman Curia during their week of spiritual exercises which begins this evening. "In silence and meditation I will pray to the Lord for all the needs of the Church and of the world."

  Following the Angelus, Archbishop Sandri added in the Pope's name: "As I continue to pray for peace in the Middle East, I make a heartfelt appeal for the liberation of the Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena, and of all those kidnapped in Iraq."

  The Holy Father pronounced the blessing and added before leaving: "I wish everyone a happy Sunday. Thank you."

VATICAN CITY, FEB 12, 2005 (VIS) - Made public today was a Letter from Pope John Paul II to Archbishop Jean-Pierre Ricard of Bordeaux, president of the Conference of Bishops of France, and to all the bishops of France. It focused on a topic the Pope discussed with the bishops during their "ad limina" visits during 2003 and 2004, that is, the question of relations between the Church and French civil authorities in the perspective of this year's 100th anniversary of the law of separation between Church and State in France.

  In the 3,200-word document, the Holy Father starts by noting that the 1905 law, "which denounced the 1804 Concordat, was a painful and traumatic event for the Church in France," ruling that the way of life in France "would be according to the principle of secularity" and "relegating the religious factor to the  private sphere and not recognizing a place in society for religious life and the ecclesial institution."

   The Pope notes that, since 1920 "the French government itself has recognized in a certain manner the place for religion in social life." During the past century, there has been a dialogue between Church and State, diplomatic ties were reestablished and an entente was signed in 1924, all of which has allowed "a certain number of difficulties to be overcome."

  "The principle of secularity to which your country is very attached, if it is well understood also belongs to the social doctrine of the Church. It recalls a just separation of powers which echoes Christ's invitation to His disciples: 'Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and unto God what is God's'. ... The Church has no vocation to administer temporal affairs, ... but at the same time it is important that everyone work in the general interest and for the common good."

  "Christianity has played and still plays an important role in French society, be it in the political, philosophical, artistic or literary domains," John Paul II emphasized, pointing to great French theologians, pastors and educators. "One cannot forget the important place of Christian values in building Europe and in the lives of the peoples of the continent. Christianity in great part formed the face of Europe and it is up to the men and women of today to build a European society on the values which presided at its birth and which are part of its richness."

  France "can only rejoice" at having men and women "who draw upon the Gospel ... to serve their brothers in humanity, ...and to spread harmony, peace, justice, solidarity and good understanding among everyone." He urged the bishops to focus on teaching the Church's social doctrine to the faithful, especially the young of today who are the future of tomorrow.

  The Holy Father turns to "the crisis of values and the lack of hope that one sees in France, and largely in the West," saying "this is part of an identity crisis modern societies are going through. ... The Church questions such a situation and hopes that religious, moral and spiritual values, which are part of France's patrimony, which have fashioned its identity and forged generations of persons from the first centuries of Christianity, do not fall into oblivion."

  He invites the faithful of France to "draw from their spiritual and ecclesial life the strength to participate in public affairs" and urges collaboration, not antagonism or separation, between the religious and civil domains. He tells the bishops that "by reason of your mission, you are called to intervene regularly in public debate on the great questions of society."

  John Paul II says he knows the bishops "are very attentive to the Church's presence in places where the great and formidable questions about human existence are asked,"  especially in hospitals, health centers and schools. On education, he writes that "the State must guarantee to those families who wish it the possibility to have their children receive the catechesis they need."

  The Pope closes by expressing his "confidence in the future for a good understanding between all components of French society. ... May no one be afraid of the religious path of people and special groups! If it is lived in respect for a healthy secularity, it can only be the source of dynamism and the promotion of man."

VATICAN CITY, FEB 12, 2005 (VIS) - Made public today was the speech given yesterday at the United Nations to the 43rd session of the Commission for Social Development by Bishop Giampaolo Crepaldi, secretary of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace.

  Addressing the commission in French, he noted that, almost ten years ago at the summit for development in Copenhagen, the final Declaration underscored the "commitment to promote a concept of social development that is 'political, economic, ethical and spiritual'."  Since then, he said, this concept "has lost the quality of being an all-embracing idea. Leaders of nations and specialists have turned to an approach of eradicating poverty that is based rather on the realization of measurable economic results."

  Acceleration in uprooting poverty is necessary, stated Bishop Crepaldi, for many peoples and nations are living this scourge. "For their development to be finally able to take off, they are undergoing what has been defined as 'a big push' in public investment." He gave several examples of innovative mechanisms employed by some countries and groups and added: "In effect, this big push, urgently needed by the economies of poor countries, must be additional, concessionary, sure and regular, four inescapable exigencies respected by the mechanisms I have just mentioned.

  The true challenge we now face," he went on, "is that of working concretely for the realization of positive economic results to eliminate poverty and to safeguard, at the same time, the concept of social development as expressed in Copenhagen. ... In addition, if it is true ... that the eradication of poverty has become a moral imperative,  we could arrive, with its realization, at effectively considering it as a primary global public good." He said "this challenge can only be met if a moral condition is fulfilled: the creation, at an international level, of the sense of social justice which seems at the moment to be lacking."

VATICAN CITY, FEB 12, 2005 (VIS) - Made public today was the Holy Father's Message to Cardinal Javier Lozano Barragan, president of the Pontifical Council for the Health Care Ministry, on the occasion of yesterday's celebration of the 13th World Day of the Sick, whose principal celebration took place in Yaounde, Cameroon from February 9 to 11. The Message to the cardinal, the Pope's special envoy, was written in French and is dated February 1.

  John Paul II thanks the president of Cameroon for hosting this world day, and he also greets the bishops, priests, deacons and men and women religious and, "in particular, all the health care personnel because it is due to their generous commitment that the sick receive attention and assistance. My thoughts join in a special way you, dear brothers and sisters, who are sick and who carry in your bodies the signs of suffering and fragility and you, their families, who are closest to them in their daily lives: I am close to you with my heartfelt affection."

  "This year," writes the Holy Father, "the celebration of the World Day of the Sick takes place once again in Africa, a continent marked by many and serious problems, but also a continent rich in extraordinary human and spiritual resources, and animated by an intense desire for authentic peace and progress. Africa suffers because of the many sick people who, on her soil, silently invoke the solidarity of the entire world.

  "Dear brothers and sisters of Africa, Jesus is 'a man Who knows suffering'. In this year consecrated to the Eucharist, I invite you to unite yourselves in your thoughts and in your heart to the sacrifice of the Mass, an endless source of hope for all of life's trials."
 JPII-MESS/WORLD DAY SICK/LOZANO            VIS 20050214 (300)

VATICAN CITY, FEB 11, 2005 (VIS) - Today, liturgical memory of Our Lady of Lourdes, Cardinal Camillo Ruini, vicar general for the diocese of Rome, celebrated Mass at 4:30 p.m. in the Vatican Basilica for the sick and for pilgrims of Opera Romana Pellegrinaggi and UNITALSI (the Italian National Union for Transport of the Sick to Lourdes and International Shrines) on the occasion of the 13th World Day of the Sick.

  During the Eucharistic celebration, Cardinal Ruini read a Message from Pope John Paul - who returned last evening to the Vatican following a ten-day stay in Gemelli Hospital - to the sick assembled in St. Peter's.

   The Holy Father began the Message by referring to the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, who first appeared to St. Bernadette Soubirous on February 11, 1858 in a grotto at Massabielle. "From that grotto," he says, "which became a place of prayer and hope for many pilgrims from throughout the world, Immaculate Mary continues to invite us to prayer, penitence and conversion. ... When the sick and suffering run to the feet of Mary, that is a ceaseless exhortation to trust Christ and His heavenly Mother, who never abandon those who turn to them in times of pain and trials."

  "Dear sick people," the Pope adds, "if you add your pain" to the suffering of Christ Who died on the Cross to redeem us, "you can be His privileged cooperators in the salvation of souls. This is your duty in the Church, which is always aware of the role and value of sickness illuminated by faith. Your suffering, dear sick friends, is not useless! Rather, it is precious because it is sharing in the mysterious but real salvific mission of the Son of God.

  "For this reason," concludes John Paul's Message, "the Pope counts so much on the value of your prayers and your sufferings: offer them for the Church and for the world; offer them also for me and for my mission as universal pastor of the Christian people."

The Cupcakes That Wanted to Be Muffins

I tasted blackberry sage tea for the first time about five years ago. The sweet and savory brew immediately grabbed my tastebuds' attention and became one of my favorite tea varieties. As I tried to think of unusual taste sensations for cupcakes, the combination of plump berry and aromatic herb sounded particularly appealing.

Last Saturday, I didn't have quite enough cash to purchase the enormous blackberries available from vendors at the local farmer's market. So on Wednesday I took a deep breath, counted my cash, and dropped by the smaller market in hopes the same vendors would be there again. Fortunately, there were plenty of blackberries on hand and I eagerly scooped up a pint in preparation for my next cupcake creation.

But, sometimes, a cupcake would rather be a muffin. The flavor of the frosting I made overwhelmed the delicate flavor of the cooked 'cake' and I set it aside. And then my husband ate three muffins in under 10 minutes. I guess that's as good a recommendation as you can get!

Blackberry Sage Muffins

Makes 12-15 muffins
1/2 cup oatmeal
11/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
1/2 cup yogurt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
a pinch of salt
6 teaspoons dried leaf sage
1 cup large blackberries, halved
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grind oatmeal into fine powder, in a food processor. Combine all ingredients except blackberries in food processor. Pour batter into a large bowl and gently fold in blackberry pieces with a rubber spatula. Fill muffin papers approximately 3/4s full. Bake 25 minutes until golden brown.

Merry Kissmoose!

Hello there stampers!
I have a fun card to share with you today. Some days ago I was reorganizing the file folders on my laptop and came across a Christmas card I made a few years ago combining digital and rubber stamps. As I thought it was pretty nice and I needed a last minute card to put in the mail, I decided to make one quickly. That was truly fun, I love that whimsical Whippersnapperdesigns stamp with the moose and matching greeting, so cute! It's undoubtedly something different, tee hee!! ;-)

Thanks for stopping by and have a nice and relaxing Boxing Day, those of you who celebrate it, that is!!

Hugs, Vittoria

Biscuit boxes

Hello there crafters!!
How's your holiday season going on? I guess you're all very busy, right? That is part of the fun of Christmas, I guess.
I have a 3-D project to share with you today - 2 biscuit boxes I created for 2 friends. I was looking for something special to hold some chocolate and here is what I came up with. The biscuits were made with some Fimo Light and were coloured with acrylics. After arranging and glueing them on the lid, I added some ribbon and button et voilà.

Have a special, warm and merry Christmas you all!! :D
Love and hugs,

Christmas projects

Hello there,
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas day with your dear ones.
As usual, I haven't had much time recently to post here on my blog. Spare time is always scarce, I would need an 8th day of the week, tee hee!! :D I did manage to complete some Christmas projects, though. Here is one which was made for a couple of special co-workers - I filled the small boxes with Ferrero Rocher chocolate, yum! For the caddy and the milk carton I used a template from Papertrey Ink. They sell great templates for a fairly reasonable price, and once put together they look awesome.
The Christmas sentiment stamps are from Lily of the Valley, which I cut out using Spellbinders circles dies.
They fit perfectly on the cartons. Ribbon, button, baker's twine and rhinestones are all from my stash.

I have a couple more projects to show you, so stay tuned! :D

Have a nice rest of the day and thanks for stopping by!

Born May 21st, 1948 at Tongala, Victoria, Australia into a dairy sharefarming family. One of 5 children, schooled at Leitchville Primary, Cohuna Primary and Lockington Consolidated and Higher Elementary schools - all in Victoria. Left school at the ripe old age of 15 years, midway through ninth year, to work on a dairy farm.
Started a 1960's music band at Lockington called The Enchanters in 1965 (that's me on the right at 19) playing topical music from that era. We used to tape the American Top 40, learn to play the songs and be publicly playing them before they hit the local hit parades. Joined the Victorian Railways in 1966 on the track gang at Lockington to help pay for a car that I had purchased. It took me 25 years to leave the railways during which time I purchased a number of cars.
Transferred in the railways to Manangatang in North Western Victoria in 1969 and started studying to become a Stationmaster. Became interested in Amateur Radio during this time and resolved to qualify as an amateur after passing the Stationmaster's examination in 1972.
Appointed Stationmaster at Glenrowan in North Eastern Victoria (where the famous Australian bushranger, Ned Kelly, was captured in 1880) in December 1972. Gained the Amateur Operator's Limited Certificate of Proficiency in 1976 and obtained the amateur license VK3ZGV. Purchased an IC-22A and IC-502 and resolved to study morse code for the full call one day.
Appointed Station Inspector in Melbourne in 1977 and after an early stint as Relieving Station Inspector and Relieving Area Stations Manager all over Victoria, was appointed Area Stations Manager in Melbourne. Became President of the Victorian Railways Institute Wireless Club - VK3RI for a few years until it folded. Gained morse code qualifications, firstly Novice level in March 1983 (callsign VK3KKC) and the Unrestricted level in June 1983 (callsign VK3CKC) replaced the IC-22A with an IC-290A. Remained in the same general employment capacity until 1991 when I decided to "go off the rails" as it were, and leave the railways. There were many corporate name changes from 1965 to 1991 and which one was which, and when, is now starting to blur.
Self-employed until 1995 when a change of residence was planned and moved to Axedale near Bendigo in Northern Victoria. Time for amateur radio had become limited and the "unwanted" FT-107M was sold with the hope that some time in the future, more time would be available.

Started another local band called The Renegades which lasted until New Year's Eve 2003. Other commitments were too much to enable it to continue.

Worked for a shade company in Bendigo from 1998 to 2003. The business had changed hands in 2002 and after 12 months I had had enough. Free time led me to purchase an AOR AR8200 MkIII scanner and what I heard induced me to rekindle the amateur radio interest that had lain dormant since 1995. I had no intentions of resuming the level of interest that I used to have but, in 12 months, it appears that I have now surpassed it.
Purchased an FT-847 in December 2003 and discovered many changes in amateur radio. Digital modes had increased and my curiosity was aroused. In my thirst for greater knowledge, and to more completely occupy my free time, I enrolled in an Advanced Diploma of Electronics Engineering course at the Bendigo Regional Institute of Technology, graduating in 2005. My quest to enhance my amateur radio enjoyment led to a search for PSK interfaces on the Internet. I also needed a suitable software program for controlling the FT-847 and I found the Ham Radio Deluxe suite of programs. After looking for a manual and finding out that there wasn't any, I decided to write my own and wrote the first manual for the program. Sadly, the manual is now seriously out of date but I may get time in the future to update it.
Spent five years after graduation as part of an television and electronics repair business, finally exiting in April 2010 and now have more time to devote to amateur radio and electronics.

high reps low weights won't get you there

High reps low weights does NOT work

There is nothing NOTHING  more frustrating that putting in the hours at gym, only to be disappointed by a lack of results. So many women strive for a svelte bikini body. And yet they subscribe to the myth that doing high reps low weights is the answer. This is a complete misconception.

You vs the weights

Okay, so maybe those tiny little weights look cute. But the deal is that you want to look cute. Only one thing can be slim and cute: the weights, or you. You decide.

Do you want to look toned rather than bulky?

We have said this before, and we’ll say it again. Doing weights (and by this we mean proper weights, not little pink accessories) will NOT make women look bulky. There is a misconception that high reps low weights will burn more fat and leave you toned, whereas fewer reps with heavier weights will leave you looking bulky and muscular. WRONG.

Remember, those pro bodybuilders are on all sorts of supplements. You don’t get to look that bulky and muscular by lifting heavier weights alone.

High reps low weights is a myth – here’s why…

If you want to look fit and toned, then you need to lift heavier weights. You need to adhere to the principle of progressive overload. You’ll find that you’ll have a far more intense workout – and the intensity of your workout counts. Especially if you want that sexy bikini body.

When you say you want to look slim and toned, what you are really saying is that you want to improve your body composition. Using heavier weights for fewer reps is the most effective way to do that. (As an added bonus, it’s also takes less time.)

High reps low weights is NOT the answer if you want to increase your strength, burn fat, and look fabulous.

Most importantly, make sure you focus on the intensity of your workouts – that’s where the secret lies!

NY appellate court rules 5-0 against Bloomberg soda ban

The First Department of the Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court has ruled 5-0 against NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s soda ban, in the case of  In re New York Statewide Coalition of Hispanic Chambers of Commerce, et al. v. The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, et al. (The Hispanic Chambers opinion begins on page 22, following two other opinions released the same day.)

In New York State, the trial courts of general jurisdiction are the Supreme Court. The intermediate courts of appeal are the Appellate Division, which are divided into four geographic Departments, similar to the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal. The highest court is the Court of Appeals. Thus, Mayor Bloomberg has the option of trying to bring the case to the Court of Appeals.

The Appellate Division’s decision is quite straightforward: “[T]he Board [of Health] did not bring any scientific or health expertise to bear in creating the Portion Cap Rule. Indeed, the rule was drafted, written and proposed by the Office of the Mayor and submitted to the Board, which enacted it without substantive changes.” If the Board’s ban on the sale of sodas larger than 16 ounces were actually a health rule (similar, for example, to a ban on the sale of infected meat), there would not be so many exemptions for certain types of vendors.

The Appellate Division applied the four-part separation of powers test from Boreali v Axelrod, 71 NY2d 1 (1989). The Appellate Division summarized the four Boreali factors:

First, Boreali found the PHC [Public Health Council] had engaged in the balancing of competing concerns of public health and economic costs, “acting solely on [its] own ideas of sound public policy”. Second, the PHC did not engage in the “interstitial” rule making typical of administrative

New York Judge Nixes Super-Size Soda Ban

A state court judge has voided New York City’s much discussed (and much derided) ban on the sale of large sugary drinks, the New York Post reports.   The ban was slated to take effect tomorrow.  Due to the judge’s ruling, however, NY health inspectors won’t have to run around testing drink sizes and coffee sellers will still be able to add sugar to large drinks.  (Lattes and the like were exempted, however, due to their milk content — further evidence of the law’s udder irrationality.)  Here is the opinion, and more coverage from the WSJReason, and Reuters.

UPDATE: NYU’s Rick Hills comments:

Justice Milton Tingling of the New York supreme court (that’s a trial judge for you non-New Yorkers) struck down Mayor Bloomberg’s soda portion cap this afternoon, citing the state non-delegation doctrine and the state’s administrative law constraint on arbitrary and capricious rule-making. The essence of the opinion is that defining soda portion size is above the Department’s pay grade, because it is “legislative” in character, a major policy requiring the imprimatur of City Council. . . .

In favor of Justice Tingling’s anti-paternalism canon is that the doctrine simply forces Mayor Bloomberg to apply to the City Council to make controversial policy decisions. As I have elsewhere noted with respect to taxis, the Mayor has been excessively prone to bypass Council, either applying to Albany for direct state legislative authority or simply ruling by executive decree (or by the decree of mayoral sock puppets like the Department of Health).

But one might complain that judicial glosses on statutes, derived from nothing more than the judge’s libertarian suspicion that an agency’s intervention into the market is too novel or meddling, over-extend judicial power even as they constrain agencies’ power. The

Ernst Freund was one of the Founding Fathers of progressive constitutionalism. His 1904 book The Police Power: Public Policy and Constitutional Rights argued for a vastly expanded understanding of the police power. (The police power, broadly defined, is a government’s power to regulate health, safety, welfare and morals. It is distinct from other government powers, such as the tax power, or the military power. In the U.S. system, the federal government does not have a police power, except as to federal territories, but the States do have a police power.)

Freund’s expansive view of the police power aimed to overthrow the then-prevailing (at least in theory) view, articulated by Christopher Tiedeman in his 1886  A Treatise on the Limitations of the Police Power in the United States, that the police power could only be used to prevent people from harming others or violating their rights. In the long run, Freund’s view became the mainstream.

So what would Freund, that great advocate for loosening the restraints on big government, have to say about laws which prohibit the medical use of marijuana? Here’s what he wrote about liquor prohibition:

All prohibitory laws make an exception in favor of sales for medical purposes. This is not a legislative indulgence but a constitutional necessity, since the state could not validly prohibit the use of valuable curative agencies on account of remote possibility of abuse. “[T]he power of the legislature to prohibit the prescription and sale of liquor to be used as medicine does not exist, and its exercise would be as purely arbitrary as the prohibition of its sale for religious purposes….” The right to an adequate supply of medicines cannot be cut off by the legislature, and when legal provisions would have such effect they must that extent be inoperative.

Freund, at […]

“Failure: Why We Need It”

That was the provocative title of a seminar earlier this month organized by the Istituto Bruno Leoni, Italy’s free market think tank. The event was the IBL’s 9th annual Mises Seminar. As is common at multinational seminars in Europe, the event and the papers were in English, which is today’s lingua franca among well-educated Europeans.

My favorite paper was presented by Kaetana Leontjeva, who is a Senior Policy Analyst at the Lithuanian Free Market Institute. Her paper, Old-age state social insurance: may its failure be averted?, examines the history of old-age pension systems throughout Europe, with a special focus on the USSR, Lithuania and Georgia. She shows how these programs, initially of modest size, grew to an unustainable  level that is financed by borrowing. She argues that there are only two realistic alternatives:

1. Continuing the present systems, with only “technical” reforms. This will eventually lead to complete failure of the old-age pension system, as occurred in the USSR. ” This would lead to a sudden and dramatic change in conditions of the elderly, bringing about poverty and chronic insecurity.” OR

2. “managed failure.” This means starting to shrinking the existing pension systems, by requiring that they operate on a balanced budget. Young people should not be told to depend on the current system, but should be encouraged to start making plans for their own retirement, by setting aside some of their current income to provide for their retirement. “For the ‘managed failure’ approach to work, one generation has to concede and make a sacrifice by paying for the pensions of the current retirees and for their own. In the absence of such a consent and solidarity, the generation to make the sacrifice would emerge spontaneously, and the process of an unexpected old-age social insurance […]

Wright and Ginsburg on Behavioral Law & Economics

GMU law professor (and FTC commissioner nominee) Joshua Wright and Judge Douglas H. Ginsburg have a new paper in the Northwestern Law Review, “Behavioral Law and Economics: Its Origins, Fatal Flaws, and Implications for Liberty.” Here’s the abstract from SSRN:

Behavioral economics combines economics and psychology to produce a body of evidence that individual choice behavior departs from that predicted by neoclassical economics in a number of decision-making situations. Emerging close on the heels of behavioral economics over the past thirty years has been the “behavioral law and economics” movement and its philosophical foundation — so-called “libertarian paternalism.” Even the least paternalistic version of behavioral law and economics makes two central claims about government regulation of seemingly irrational behavior: (1) the behavioral regulatory approach, by manipulating the way in which choices are framed for consumers, will increase welfare as measured by each individual’s own preferences and (2) a central planner can and will implement the behavioral law and economics policy program in a manner that respects liberty and does not limit the choices available to individuals. This Article draws attention to the second and less scrutinized of the behaviorists’ claims, viz., that behavioral law and economics poses no significant threat to liberty and individual autonomy. The behaviorists’ libertarian claims fail on their own terms. So long as behavioral law and economics continues to ignore the value to economic welfare and individual liberty of leaving individuals the freedom to choose and hence to err in making important decisions, “libertarian paternalism” will not only fail to fulfill its promise of increasing welfare while doing no harm to liberty, it will pose a significant risk of reducing both.

Definitely worth a read. […]

Researchers Whose Work Was Cited to Justify Bloomberg’s Large Soda Ban Explain Why it Won’t Work

In trying to justify his proposed regulation banning large-size sodas, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg cited the work of economists Brian Wansink and David Just. In this recent Atlantic article, Wansink and Just explain that he got their work wrong:

New York City’s mayor proposed a restaurant ban for any soft drink over 16-ounces. The hope is that by banning big drinks people will drink less and weigh less. He and others cited our research as the science behind the policy. Indeed, a dozen of our studies show when you randomly give people large sizes of food like popcorn and French fries, they overeat….

There’s a critical difference between the lab and Lexington Avenue that the mayor’s office didn’t account for: when Joe the Plumber and Bob the Banker buy soft drinks, they buy the size they want. They aren’t randomly forced to take a 44-ouncer when they really wanted a 12-ouncer. Moreover, their Coke or Pepsi doesn’t magically refill itself. If that happened, they’d overdrink. Instead, most restaurants give us a choice of a small or large drink — just as nearly every fast food outlet gives us a choice of small, medium, or large fries, and every movie theatre gives us a choice of small, medium, or large popcorn. People who want a little buy a little, and people who want a lot figure a way to get it.

Yes, we have found that when people are given larger portions, they do drink or eat substantially more. But to claim that these results imply that the ban will be effective is to ignore our larger body of work. In our experiments, subjects were given larger or smaller portions of food in a dining or party setting, where they were unlikely to notice portion size. It is exactly

Do Government Subsidies for Health Care Justify Paternalistic Soda Pop Regulations?

NYU law professor Rick Hills argues that New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s ban on large soda pop servings is justified by the existence of government subsidies for health care:

I am inclined to think that denouncing Bloomberg’s proposal as Orwellian is like ridiculing the Food, Drug, & Cosmetic Act as a Stalinist plot or attacking “no smoking” signs in public buildings as a Maoist re-education campaign. Such hyper-ventilated rhetoric against ordinary regulation is making us Republicans look absurd. So long as government subsidizes healthcare costs, regulations to discourage obesity are society’s self-protection, not nosy paternalism. Principled conservative will argue that these subsidies should be reduced so that insurance premiums will reflect the risk of the insured’s behavior. Fair enough…

But no one believes that such subsidies will be eliminated entirely….

Discouraging obesity either through insurance premiums or taxes on sodas (and forcing the purchase of two 16 oz. cups is essentially just a soft-drink tax) is not creating a nanny state: It is avoiding moral hazard by forcing those who undertake risky behavior to pay part of the price of their risk-taking. Despite empty libertarian rhetoric about letting people pay for all of the consequences of their actions, we know that…, the healthcare-subsidized we will always have with us. We will inevitably end up paying for at least some substantial part of at least some folks’ healthcare. So long as such subsidies exist, doing nothing about the effects of soda consumption on obesity is just letting soda drinkers slurp dollars out of their fellow citizens’ wallets.

The problem of externalities created by government subsidies for risky behavior is a real one. But I think that Rick too easily dismisses the far preferable option of dealing with the problem by ending the subsidy. Even if people who are obese […]

The FDA’s Unhealthy Salt Obsession

Is too much salt bad for you?  That used to be the conventional wisdom, but more recent scientific research has suggested the emphasis on salt is misplaced.  No matter.  As Walter Olson notes, the Food and Drug Administration appears to be moving ahead with plans to force gradual reductions in the salt content of processed foods.  Among other things, the FDA is concerning the adoption of federal targets for gradual salt content reductions to wean consumers from their taste for salt.  But reducing salt content will do more than alter food’s flavor.  It can affect texture and perishability as well.  Surely the FDA has better things to do than obsess over the salt content of processed foods.  But if the FDA persists, I suppose it just means these (no relation) will get more use.

Steven Levitt’s “Daughter Test” for Paternalistic Policies

Famous economist Steven Levitt, coauthor of Freakonomics, recently described his “daughter test” for assessing paternalistic policies:

Most of the time there is broad agreement as to which activities should be made criminal. Almost no one thinks that theft or violence against innocents is socially acceptable. There are, however, a few activities that fall into a gray area, like illicit drugs, prostitution, abortion, or gambling. Reasonable people can disagree as to whether it is appropriate to prohibit such activities… A common feature of these gray-area activities are that they are typically “victimless” in the sense that, unlike a theft or murder, there is no easily discernible victim of the activity…..

I’ve never really understood why I personally come down on one side or the other with respect to a particular gray-area activity….

It wasn’t until the U.S. government’s crackdown on internet poker last week that I came to realize that the primary determinant of where I stand with respect to government interference in activities comes down to the answer to a simple question: How would I feel if my daughter were engaged in that activity?

If the answer is that I wouldn’t want my daughter to do it, then I don’t mind the government passing a law against it. I wouldn’t want my daughter to be a cocaine addict or a prostitute, so in spite of the fact that it would probably be more economically efficient to legalize drugs and prostitution subject to heavy regulation/taxation, I don’t mind those activities being illegal.

It’s easy to poke holes in Levitt’s “daughter test.” If I had a daughter, I wouldn’t want her to not go to college. Does that mean college attendance should be mandatory for anyone with the requisite academic skills? I wouldn’t want my daughter to advocate racism or communism. […]

Broccoli, Slippery Slopes, and the Individual Mandate

Opponents of the constitutionality of the individual mandate have emphasized that upholding the mandate would give Congress the power to mandate virtually anything, including forcing people to eat broccoli. Northwestern law professor Andrew Koppelman appears to agree, but argues that this slippery slope is nothing to worry about:

One of the most rhetorically effective arguments that has been made against President Obama’s health insurance mandate is that it places us on a slippery slope to totalitarian government. If the federal government can make us buy insurance, what can’t it do?…

The Broccoli Objection, as I will call it, rests on a simple mistake: treating a slippery slope argument as a logical one, when in fact it is an empirical one.

This basic point was made long ago in Frederick Schauer’s classic article, Slippery Slopes, 99 Harv. L. Rev. 361 (1985). Schauer showed that any slippery slope argument depends on a prediction that the instant case will in fact increase the likelihood of the danger case. If there is in fact no danger, then the fact that there logically could be has no weight. For instance, the federal taxing power theoretically empowers the government to tax incomes at 100%, thereby wrecking the economy. But there’s no slippery slope, because there is no incentive to do this, so it won’t happen.

Similarly with the Broccoli Objection. The fear rests on one real problem: there are lots of private producers, including many in agriculture, who want to use the coercive power of the federal government to transfer funds from your pockets into theirs. But the last thing they want to do is impose duties on individuals, because then the individuals will know that they’ve been burdened. There are too many other ways to get special favors in a less visible way.

No Soda for You!

The WSJ reports:

Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Gov. David Paterson have asked the federal government to bar New York City food-stamp recipients from using the benefit to buy sugary drinks, an effort to determine if the move would decrease obesity and diabetes problems.

The request, sent late Wednesday to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, could affect an estimated 1.7 million city residents who receive food stamps. As much as $135 million in federal nutrition benefits is used to buy sugar-sweetened drinks, the mayor’s office said. . .

Food-stamp users cannot use benefits to buy alcohol and cigarettes. The request asks that the USDA allow city officials to have two years to assess if sugary-drink purchases drop, as well as problems associated with diabetes and obesity, a mayoral spokeswoman said. The proposal would not affect the total benefits received, she said.

So is this an example of over-weening paternalism? Or is it a responsible limitation on government assistance? […]

The FDA to Target Salt

From today’s Washington Post:

The Food and Drug Administration is planning an unprecedented effort to gradually reduce the salt consumed each day by Americans, saying that less sodium in everything from soup to nuts would prevent thousands of deaths from hypertension and heart disease. The initiative, to be launched this year, would eventually lead to the first legal limits on the amount of salt allowed in food products.

The government intends to work with the food industry and health experts to reduce sodium gradually over a period of years to adjust the American palate to a less salty diet, according to FDA sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the initiative had not been formally announced.

Officials have not determined the salt limits. In a complicated undertaking, the FDA would analyze the salt in spaghetti sauces, breads and thousands of other products that make up the $600 billion food and beverage market, sources said. Working with food manufacturers, the government would set limits for salt in these categories, designed to gradually ratchet down sodium consumption. The changes would be calibrated so that consumers barely notice the modification.

The legal limits would be open to public comment, but administration officials do not think they need additional authority from Congress.

Does the Supposedly Superior Expertise of Regulators Justify Libertarian Paternalism?

Some of the commenters on my last two posts criticizing libertarian paternalism accuse me of ignoring the possibility that such paternalism is justified by the supposedly superior expertise of government regulators. Actually, I have addressed this point in several previous posts, such as here and here. However, readers can’t be blamed for not taking the time to collect bits and pieces from previous posts scattered over a three year period. Therefore, it may be helpful to collect my thoughts on this point in a single post. To summarize, I think that the regulators’ superior expertise applies at most only to one-half of the relevant equation, that even with respect to that half it has serious drawbacks, and that consumers who need expert advice can usually do better by relying on the private sector.

I. Regulators Lack Expertise on the Subjective Benefits of Risky Activities.

Regulators may have greater knowledge than consumers about the health or safety dangers of risky activities. But they lack comparable knowledge of the benefits that consumers derive from those activities. A public health expert probably knows more than I do about the risks of drinking or smoking. But only I know how much enjoyment I derive from having a beer or puffing on a cigarette. This is especially true when we remember that preferences about such things vary widely. I get zero utility from smoking and (unusually for a Russian) very little from drinking alcohol. Many other people have very different experiences. With respect to the subjective benefits they get from risky activities, consumers actually have vastly greater expertise than regulators do. In a classic 1945 article, F.A. Hayek emphasized the importance of this constraint on expert knowledge:

It may be admitted that, as far as scientific knowledge is concerned, a body of suitably

Richard Thaler Responds to Critics of Libertarian Paternalism

Economist Richard Thaler, a leading advocate of libertarian paternalism, has briefly responded to some of the points I made in my most recent post on that subject. In that post, I argue that advocates of libertarian paternalism implicitly rely on the assumption that regulators and voters are rational, while consumers and other private sector actors are not:

Ilya Somin gets the discussion off to a unhelpful start by claiming (a) that we consider regulators to be perfectly rational, when again we repeatedly say in the book that regulators are human just like everyone else and (b) that “regulators have no reliable way of estimating the benefits and costs that consumers derive from potentially risky products.” If he means “perfectly reliable” then fine, but that is not a sensible standard. Suppose that a crib is found to strangle babies that sleep in it, as happened to the child of friends of mine. I think it is pretty easy to guess that parents would not want to buy a crib that has strangled a dozen kids. Don’t you?

Thaler’s response, I think, misinterprets my argument. Of course I am well aware that Thaler and other advocates pf libertarian paternalism realize that regulators are “human just like everyone else.” Indeed, in my post I linked some important articles on regulatory irrationality by Thaler’s coauthor Cass Sunstein. The problem is that this recognition of regulators’ “humanity” gets lost in libertarian paternalists’ policy recommendations, where the implicit assumption of regulator rationality plays a crucial role. If the libertarian paternalists built in to their theory the fact that regulators cannot be expected to be more rational than consumers (and, for reasons, I indicated in my post are often likely to be less rational), then it is unlikely that they would continue to advocate government […]

Why I Don't Have a Christmas Tree

I'm not really a Scrooge I just don't have any real enthusiasm for decorating my home or office for Christmas. My friend Matt put his finger on the issue this morning at work. I don't have a tree or decorate my apartment because I don't celebrate Christmas there. Christmas for me centers (focuses?) for me on two things, meditating on God's love shown in Christ's incarnation and celebrating with loved ones.
The former hasn't really involved any decorations for me. I know there are people out there attempting to invest trees, wreathes, and candy canes with Christian meaning but those attempts have never really resonated with me. There was a Wizard of Id cartoon once where the Spook (the prisoner) was given a Christmas tree by one of the guards. Somehow Spook knocked all the needles off, maybe by sneezing on it. The guard looks in on Spook and says, "Great! You've ruined the symbol of Christmas." Spook is standing there looking at a bare tree in the shape of a cross. I'd rather honor Christmas by reading a chapter from one of the Gospels every day, meditating on the Magnificat, and reading a book on the incarnation than by putting up decorations. Traditional decorations don't have much meaning for me so I don't spend time on them. But maybe this year I'll try out my nativity set.
The latter point also plays against decorations. I enjoy getting together with friends and family at Christmas and exchanging gifts, eating, singing, even decorating trees (at least watching people who enjoy decorating trees do it). But these are not things I do where I live. I don't have people over to my apartment for Christmas parties. The parties are held by people with bigger places who enjoy throwing parties. Eventually we reach the last few days before Christmas and I drive south to celebrate with Mom and Daddy, with the folks in Corbin, with the Campbells and Whites, with Lydia and Geron and Cora (Huzzah!), with Ann and Daniel. Christmas doesn't really happen in my apartment because there's hardly ever anyone there on 12/24-25. A few years ago when I lived with Matt, he put up some decorations because his sisters were coming to visit him for Christmas. He put up some lights and bought a couple of little "postmodern Christmas trees" at Ikea. I liked those trees. I came home one day and there on our end table was a red pyramid about a foot tall and maybe 4" wide at the base and a silver cone about the same size. Those were our Christmas trees the two Christmas seasons I lived with Matt. I was happy to find out that they had made it into his and Unity's decorations this year. But if his sisters hadn't been coming we may never have had them.
There was a time when I was a kid that a tree was an important part of Christmas and I'd still like there to be one at Mom and Dad's. One year when it was certain that my parents weren't going to have a tree Lydia or Ann drew one on posterboard and tacked it to the wall where the tree would have been. I like a tree where I'm celebrating but I'm not putting one up, so maybe the whole thing just comes down to laziness or thrift. I don't want to spend the energy or the time.

Jenn Hacker said...

'Nuff said. Of course, in our house here it's important to have Christmas decorations for the little 'uns. I'll quit "nagging" you about it.

annalu alulu said...

I hope you do break out your nativity set. I really really liked it. If you don't use it, you should pass it on. I think it's awesome. I'd probably keep it up all year, but it comes wtih memories for me. Anyway, I'm a little sad you've not been using it.

Lydia said...

Ann was the tree artist. I think she may have also been the inventor of Ewokiel, who you might want to mention in your next post, or not. Whatever the case, we have a tree waiting for you to stare at down in Chattanooga, so come on down!! Cora wants to see her Uncle Bubba again!
Love you!

Software name:

Theano is available to all users of HPC2N. It is installed with full GPU and cuDNN support.

Theano is a Python library that allows you to define, optimize, and evaluate mathematical expressions involving multi-dimensional arrays efficiently. It can use GPUs and perform efficient symbolic differentiation.

Theano is a numerical computation library for Python. In Theano, computations are expressed using a NumPy-esque syntax and compiled to run efficiently on either CPU or GPU architectures. Theano is an open source project primarily developed by a machine learning group at the Université de Montréal.

On HPC2N we have Theano available as a module on Kebnekaise.

Usage at HPC2N

To use the Theano module, first add it to your environment. Use:

module spider theano

to see which versions are available, as well as how to load the module and any needed prerequisites.

Note that while the case does not matter when you use "ml spider", it is necessary to match the case when loading the modules.

You can read more about loading modules on our Accessing software with Lmod page and our Using modules (Lmod) page.

When you use this Python module, a directory needs to be created, which is used for compiling etc. It is created automatically in your home directory first time you import the module in Python if you are running interactively, however this means trouble when you are running as a batch job since the batch system is not allowed to write to your home directory on AFS.

To solve this, delete the directory (and any subdirectories) from your home directory if it has already been created, and then create it in your pfs and make a symbolic link from your home directory:

cd /pfs/nobackup$HOME
mkdir .theano
cd $HOME
ln -s /pfs/nobackup$HOME/.theano .theano
Additional info

More information about Theano, including documentation and getting started guides can be found on the Theano homepage.

Operations are going very smoothly at WAIS Divide. Most of the construction in the drilling and core handling arch has been completed and is ready for the NSF inspection team. ICDS is popping out 2.5 m cores with excellent ice quality (typically no breaks and a smooth surface) every hour. They have it so well organized and designed they make it look very boring. The NICL crew and science techs are doing a fine job packing up the ice. We are getting nice annual layers on the DEP. We have been running two shifts, and as of today are adding a third shift. We only have 8 more days of drilling this season and I expect we will end the season around 600m. The spirit at camp is high, there is a great group of people out here.

New approaches to working with schools

We have had a busy start to the school year.  From delivering workshops in role as Tudors and Victorians to finding out about Toys from the Past, our collections have been brought to life to children throughout the district.

We've also been trying some new things!

National Wool Week earlier this month saw pupils investigating the textile trade in Victorian Ossett.  Ossett was one of the main producers in the area for Mungo and Shoddy – Victorians were recycling even back then!  Looking at maps of the town, trade directories and census records pupils begin to piece together the lives of some of the inhabitants of Ossett over 130 years ago.  Working closely with the West Yorkshire Archive Service, pupils were introduced to Healey Mills in the late Victorian era, to learn new skills and about thier local area.
"Thanks for the workshop on thurs, was great and the kids loved it! We’ve loads to investigate now... Mini bus booked for Ossett!”

“The workshop was very meaniful to the children so they really enjoyed”

"Well organised and informative. Well worth the money. Thank you"

We've also been introducing digital technology to Primary School pupils - right through from Year 1 to Year 6!

New digital sessions using i-Pads have allowed pupils to look at the museums collections and create their own pieces of storytelling.  Younger pupils have been storytelling using digital puppet applications, whereas the Year 3s and over created short pieces of animation to explore Charles Waterton and the cayman on display in Wakefield Museum.

“The ipads really inspired the children to draw and join in, especially the less artistic.”
“Very enjoyable, the children loved the whole morning"

To find out about the sessions available to schools, please see the listing here, and/or email for further details.

Final decisions near on Indiana’s new state budget plan

Indiana Statehouse, Indianapolis (File Photo)

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indiana Legislature’s budget writers are nearing final decisions on the state’s new two-year spending plan that will include a contentious plan for shifting money from many urban and rural school districts with shrinking enrollments.

Legislative leaders plan to release details of the budget proposal Tuesday afternoon, a day ahead of the General Assembly’s Wednesday adjournment deadline.

House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Tim Brown said Monday some school funding details were still being sorted out, along with some spending cuts because of slower-than-expected growth in tax collections.

Budget plans backed by House and Senate Republicans have different proposals on moving tens of millions of dollars to school districts in growing suburban communities.

Product Information
Publisher Stock #
File Size:
88.27 MB
Original electronic
Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.

Bose Alao Keeps Mum On Alleged Domestic Violence

Bose Alao-Omotoyosi has kept mum over a photo that circulated few days ago on social media. The photo was circulated with a message that her footballer husband,  Razak Omotoyosi allegedly battered her.

According to sources, Razak is fond of battering the mother of his four children, but since the photo of his alleged latest act circulated, it means Bose is ready to move on. She is saying enough is enough.

Though Bose and Razak have kept mute over the incident, Bose however stylishly confirmed it, when she was asked to speak on the photo. She simply says her lawyer has advised her to keep quiet and she is taking his advice.

Just March 21, 2017, Bose publicly on her instagram page called out Bidemi Kosoko, a fellow actress to stop sleeping with her man. It was alleged that Razak rented an apartment for Bidemi that serves as their love den and words got to Bose. Actualy, Bidemi won't be the first actress linked to Razak, many have been linked to him in the past, thanks to soft sell magazines, before the Forums boomed! lol.

12 Days of Christmas

Christmas is quickly approaching, but there is still time to buy some last minute gifts!

The automated machines at USPS tell me that domestic shipping will take 3 days to arrive; so when you add the few extra that an order will probably take to make its way through the windy world of holiday mail, you're left with about 4-7 more days of shopping possibilities.

Some new note card sets are being added to the catalog this week and include a little tea time fun, child's play, good fortune, vintage golf, and some new dandelion and wood grain products, so check back soon for pictures. Of course, if you're interested in any of these and working against the clock, you can email me and I will get the preview and product ready on a rush order.

Don't forget to steer clear of pear trees today, as there will be plenty of partridges a-pooping.

Enough with the Self-Help Bullshit - A slightly incoherent post-modern treatise

The next time someone tells me how something builds character, or what doesn’t kill me makes me stronger, or any of those zillion bullshit things that we keep saying because we’ve heard it from so many self-help sources, I’m gonna really lose it. Why? Because the facts don’t add up.

Seriously, what am I building so much character and inner moral strength for? To write another email?? Or so that someday in some imaginary apocalyptic future, when there are just a thousand of us survivors, maybe it’ll help me live for a few extra months than all those sorry billion plus losers who built all that character and strength just to die as cannon fodder for the first extinction-sized event? No thanks.

And why do we have so many people (becoming rich) telling us to self-help? Animals don’t do that. They thrive in communities and build a sustainable eco-system and keep a planet running for billions of years. But no, we’re reading productivity manuals and learning ‘manifestation’ and other motivational crap being spewed out by the same community (humans) that destroyed half of the planet’s assets in a tiny little fraction of the time it was here.

And if someone tells me that this is why we’re the dominant species, I’m gonna tell you to fuck yourself. An unchecked cancer cell growth will also be the dominant species in an unhealthy body. And just like we zap those cells to extinction, our planet’s trying to zap us out. And no amount of positive thinking, manifestation or tantric anything is going to change that. With this kind of thinking taking over the fucking planet, it’s no wonder we’re hurtling towards environmental heart-attacks all around.

And if someone calls me negative one more time, I’m gonna zombie attack you and see how your positive thinking turns into mulch in another undead asshole’s mouth.

How to Prevent Home Fires

Most home fires are unexpected because they’re started by the most ordinary, everyday tasks that can turn dangerous at a moment’s notice. Things like accidentally turning on a stove burner, forgetting to blow out a candle, or leaving on an electric space heater can turn a normal day into a nightmare. Below you’ll find some tips on how to prevent common household fires.

Cooking Fires

Cooking fires are the cause of 23% of home fires, and 9% of deaths. They can start with something as simple as a hand towel being placed too close to a stove burner, and can turn dangerous quicker than you think. To prevent devastating cooking fires, you should avoid ever leaving the kitchen while cooking something on the stove, and keep combustibles at least 3 feet away from the cooktop. This can also include curtains and wall hangings.

Heating Equipment

When it comes to heating equipment, space heaters and wood stoves are the most common culprits. They cause 15% of home fires, and 13% of deaths. Most heating equipment fires start when a space heater or wood stove is too close to combustibles while people are sleeping. You can prevent these fires by keeping space heaters at least 3 feet away from drapes, bedding, and other flammables, plug them into outlets and not extension cords, and don’t use space heaters while sleeping.

Electrical Equipment

Overloaded extension cords and bad connections can melt electrical wire and start fires in your home, causing 9% of home fires and 10% of deaths. To prevent fires caused by electrical equipment, you can replace extension cords that are undersized or frayed, never run extension cords under rugs, call an electrician to help with frequently tripping circuit breakers, replace undersized cords with larger-gauge ones or plug all appliances directly into outlets. Other causes can be attributed to miscellaneous incidents caused by negligence of the homeowner or random accidents.

If you’ve suffered from a fire in your home, the last thing you want to worry about is how you’re going to fix everything and make it look new again. That’s where Water Damage Recovery comes in. Our team of trained professionals knows how hard it can be to come back from a fire in your home, which is why it’s so important to us to give you the best service possible.

STGCC 2012 (and my spoils!)

    I went down to the Singapore Toy, Games and Comic Convention (STGCC) today to collect a pre-order and snoop around. I like it that they held it at Marina Bay Sands this year. It just feels....more posh lol.  Lets get right into the gravy -

    What's a toy convention without Hot Toys eh? These guys are pretty much a fixture at any event. There are some cool kits I wouldn't mind having but seriously, Hot Toys' prices are a tad too crazy for me, and with collectibles, all you do is put them up in your shelf or take them out to fiddle around with now and then. There isn't much else to work on, unlike model kits. Still, credit to Hot Toys, they have the best sculpts as always.

Custom-painted Iron Man. nice!

Movie Batman at 1/4 scale. In other words - HUGE. I think it's coming for $500+. No thanks lol.

Bat fans, are you ready for this?....I'm not sure if Hot Toys are actually SELLING it. But if they are, I don't think I can afford it anyway. Nor would I have space at home for this monster LOL.

And presenting, the centre-piece of Hot Toys' exhibition (and probably the entire event itself) a battle scene from the Avengers movie!

The Hot Toys 1/6 Hulk as you can see in the dio, is MASSIVE. Pre-orders are out for about $300++....I'm kinda tempted but maaaan I duno. Is it worth it? Hmmm....

Cutesy stuff...

Other usual suspects include Marvel and Street Fighter sculpts.

Love the dynamism of this Red Hulk!

Dio reference lol...

    And the fun part (for me)! Here are my spoils of STGCC 2012. I suppose not many of you who read my blog are particular fans of the Halo Xbox game series, but I've got a soft spot for it. And finally, FINALLY, Play Arts Kai, which is a more affordable, smaller version of Hot Toys in my opinion, with proportions that suit my taste, came up with the Gold version of the Spartan warrior:

Why did I have to get Gold? Well cos I've basically collected the entire range LOL -

    Next up, a Hot Wheels die cast super-heavy 1989 version of the Batmobile, which in my opinion, is still the best ever design of the car to date. It's about 30-cms long. I have to thank the missus here. I did not buy it. SHE did lol. I liked it but the $120 price tag was just too hefty. She went and bought it for me while I wasn't looking. Thanks, babe! I guess now I've gotta pay attention to which handbag she has her eye on when we go out LOL :P.

    Lastly for the finale, I pre-ordered this limited edition die-cast Batman tribute to superstar artist Jim Lee. Had to do it. It burnt a $300++ hole in my wallet. Was it worth it? Let's put it this way - if you're not a hardcore Batman fan, NO. Unfortunately for my bank account, I am LOL. And I don't dig the Hot Toys movie version cos somehow, suited superheroes in real-life proportions always look kinda weird - their heads are almost always too damn big. So when I saw this version of Batman based on comic book proportions modelled after my all-time fave artist Jim Lee, I signed up on the suckers list.

For over $300, at least they made sure they gave you some posh packaging!

This baby is about as tall as a PG Gundam, but twice as heavy due to the alloy cast.

Comes with a gargoyle head for Batsy to strike a pose on.

Bats has many points of articulation, though if you're expecting him to do the Gangnam Style dance, forget it. Batman is done in the style of Jim Lee's rendering in the Justice League series, where his suit is more like armour. If Iron Man had a Bat theme, I'm guessing this is it.

I like the fingers especially because they have triple joints on them. A nice touch.

Batman comes with a cape made out of real cloth which I don't really care for. It doesn't fit very well, and it just looks stiff on him.

    And that's all for STGCC this year! Maybe I might pop back down tomorrow for their final day, although it might be a good idea to leave my wallet at home LOL.

~RoBiN~ said...

Nice loot! :)

tulispendekpendek said...

That Hulk is nice! But look like it lack articulation. But articulation points could make its muscular body look too toy-ish. Urgh!

Waylander said...

Haha yes bro I get what you mean. Damn huh. I duno if I should get it. And then there's the Wolverine with his X-suit. Sweet stuff. And the modern costume Capt America. And Ironman and and......aargggh.

The dress (short story)

Image by Marta Santos

On that summer day back in 1945, mum and dad were happy. They said we had won the war. The allies had come to Reims to rescue us two months ago and that is the reason why mum had bought that dress, for celebration. At last we could forget about all the necessity and anguish we had gone through. The good had won.

So I went outside to use my dress for the first time. German corpses were piled up on the pavement sides, some with opened foreheads. The decomposing odor was increased by heat. Children were throwing stones at them. Women spat at them. Men kicked them and laughed. The good had won.

иностранец (Inostranets)

The alien

Your leaders are tricking you. Yes, it is something you already suspect but you don’t know how much. You name conniveroics those who unveil the greater lies in your humanity, and I tell you:
Conniveroics are your governments, managing directors of multinationals, bank managers, those leading advertising campaigns. They sell you protection for you to be afraid and to accept instaling the virus. But they conceal the fact that genuinely there is no threat to hide from.

They use your fear. They do it to make you consider the antinatural as normal. And there they create the monster. They make hell out of paradise and ask for your cooperation. They know they can’t do it without you. That’s why they are dying with fear. They fear your not being afraid, and then having no more chance to go on manipulating you.

You are invencible, but you don’t know it.
You have the power, you have always had it. Yours is the last Word.
You decide whom you want to bet on, either on death or Life.

On antidepressive pills or healing your emotions.
On hating or loving.
On smoking or your lungs.
On alcohol or your liver.
On caffeine or your brain.
On oil propelled cars or the air you breath.
On recycling your rubbish or polluting nature.
On wounding those who can not defend themselves or defending those attacked by all.
On drowning in your consumerist trends or saving your money and value your liberty.
On following fashion or shining in your own difference.
On consenting abuse or reporting it.
On using women or loving them.
On creating mascots or allowing animals to live in freedom.
On indoctrinating your children or listening affectionately to what they have come to tell you.
On creating meat industries for serial slaughter of your younger siblings and believing your own myths as dogmas, or feeding from the resources the Earth provides.
On scorning those who say something you don’t like or trying to listen to their reasons.
On using logic alone or using the logic that comes out of the heart.

Friends, we have been observing you for eons. We have accompanied you in your process and we have always loved you. We are extra-terrestrials from a very distant planet and though you don’t know who we are, we do know who you are. We have not forgotten your grandeur. Now it is your work remembering it. With love, your brother

Illustration by Marta Santos
The CIA director mumbled a few more harsh remarks and spat furiously to the floor.

‘Disgusting extra-terrestrial bugs’ he complained. ‘They think they can come here and speak their nonsense whenever they feel like. But now they will not interfere. We had enough difficulty trying to keep under control their green colleagues. Intergalactic trash…’ The outraged man crumpled the letter strongly, he took the Havana cigar out of his mouth and pressed it against one edge of the paper, then placed it in a glass ashtray.

After that he picked up the phone in his office.

‘Inform our president, Rockefappy, Eel Merchandiser, Her Majesty the Queen of Englaterrestrial, and that wimp called Anvil. Oh, and don't forget Pudding and the Chinese. The disgusting violets are trying to communicate again with humans.’ He took a gun out of the drawer, he observed it pleased and sketched a sardonic smile. ‘This time they will know what the United States of America are like’

The Value of Separating Oil from Water

Machine shop and fabrication operations create a lot of heat from friction and this requires cooling fluids and lubrication. However, during this process, moisture and petroleum products become mixed in the cooling system and they must either be disposed of or recycled. An oil water separator system provides many benefits to industry today and here are just a few to consider.

Water Conservation

In many parts of the country today, water is a precious resource. In fact, when it comes to priorities, personal needs are seen to first and then industry. It is extremely important for so many businesses to conserve water. An efficient oil water separator helps companies use less water because they can reuse the same water over and over again.

By recycling and filtering coolant, lubricant and water, you help to keep your shop cleaner. In fact, without an effective filtration system the air may become contaminated and this can make it difficult to breathe. This is extremely important for people with respiratory problems. In addition, contaminants can get on the skin and workers may become ill. It can also be bad for the eyes.

Financial Benefits

Sump oil can be a real problem for metal working businesses. For example, what are you going to do with the contaminated fluid once it has been used? If you do not recycle you’ll have to pay out a great deal of money in disposal fees. These services can be expensive and as more and more businesses are encouraged to recycle, the costs are expected to escalate in the future.

When you invest in oil water separator equipment, you eliminate the need to frequently dispose of used coolant and lubricant. This can cut your operating costs considerably. In fact, it is an excellent strategy for increasing overall efficiency.

Good for the Environment

When you practice eco friendly methods everyone stands to benefit. Instead of releasing dangerous chemicals and bacteria into the environment, it’s much better to filter and reuse.

Choosing the Best Oil Water Separator for Your Business

There are several different options when it comes to filtration systems. Some are inexpensive to install while others may cost more, but save you more in the long run. To find out more about the many options you have, you should contact a trusted source of industrial filtration systems. These people have many years of experience and can help you select the perfect system for your current and future needs.
