Tummy time is recommended from birth to strengthen baby's arms, back and
neck muscles and prevent the back of his head becoming flat. Jay L. Hoecker,
M.D, of the Mayo Clinic, says babies should not sleep or be left unattended
on tummies, but the position will help move them toward milestones of
rolling and crawling. If your baby does not like lying on his tummy, there
are ways you can help him learn to enjoy it.
Comfort
Make sure baby is nice and comfortable by using a soft surface like a bed
and a fleecy blanket. Your baby may feel more comfortable on his tummy if
you take his clothes and diaper off, making sure the room is nice and warm.
This way he will not have anything pressing into his tummy and the feeling
of being naked may add to his enjoyment. It is best not to make tummy time
straight after a feed as his full tummy may not feel comfortable. Try to
position his arms in front of him as he can eventually start to use them to
lean on. Don't make tummy time too long to begin with; HealthyChildren.org
advises that a newborn only needs three to five minutes two or three times a
day, which can gradually be increased.
Touching
Your baby may enjoy the sensation of your fingers running gently down her
back while she lies on her tummy -- this works better on bare skin. You can
also stroke her cheeks, tickle her toes and gently massage her hands, feet
and legs. If she is feeling a bit uncomfortable or unsure, this touching may
help to put her at ease. Massage will also relax her muscles, helping her
whole body feel more comfortable.
Stimulation
Keep your baby stimulated with lots of visual aids. Dr. Sears says young
babies like to look at bright colors, stripes and black and white objects,
so place some of these around your baby to catch his attention. Wave noisy
toys, such as rattles or scrunchy toys for him to look at, or wiggle your
fingers in front of him. You could also play some music during tummy time,
as this sound stimulation may be another way of distracting him from any
anxiety about this new position.
Interaction
Your baby loves listening to your voice, so try reclining beside her and
singing or talking. You could also place her on a bed and sit on the floor
so your face is level with hers. Tummy time can also work if you lie on your
back with baby on her tummy on your tummy. You make a warm and soft surface,
and she will love being that close to you and looking into your face.
Another way of introducing tummy time is by laying her across your lap on
her front.

Interview with Subject Of Thoughts!
- Details
- Category: Interviews
Thanks for this interview for PerfectProg.Com ----Mark Baston (interviewer)
1. When did Subject To Thoughts come to be?
Well, it's funny how this project came alive. Back in 1999, when I got my
first keyboard, it really started out as a joke. I thought, I'll write a
couple of songs and that'll be the end of that, but then things started to
take a turn. I first started calling the project Symphony of Thoughts, but I
decided to change it to Subject to Thoughts. The first songs I wrote were
utter crap, but I was starting to develop a style. It was not until I did
“The Thought Process” cassette demo (back in 2003) when I realized that this
was starting to get more serious. Eventually, it has.
It was not until late 2006 or early 2007 (2 cassette demos & 2 CD's already
completed) that I realized that I needed to add a vocalist because I was
getting no where with my singing, so I added Brandon Strader to the mix. How
me and Brandon started working together is funny. I sent my CD “From
Emptiness to Beyond” for a review at Ultimate Metal, fortunately, Brandon
was the reviewer. I guess he liked the music that much thus gave it a
favorable review. We've been friends ever since.
2. The style seems quite moody, Who are your influences musically?
My influences are Dream Theater, My Dying Bride, Katatonia, Anekdoten &
Enchant. Two other bands that have been a big influence are Type O Negative.
R.I.P. Pete Steele & Vanden Plas. Even though we sound nothing like these
bands, I guess that's where the mix of moody & Progressive sound comes from.
3. What do you think of today's mainstream music?
Crap. Don't listen too it & don't care for it.
4. What sort of audience are you trying to connect with, be it Prog,
Ambient, Doom or other?
Well, I really don't have a specific fan base I'm trying to reach, but I
guess since our music is in the Progressive genre, that's probably the
people who will probably take more of an interest in our stuff. However, I'm
content with any listener who wishes to listen and appreciate what we're
trying to accomplish. Of course, our music is not for everybody.
5. You have 2 projects, the other being "Transcend with Time" Is it hard to
do both of them simultaneously?
Well, for me not really. I guess that's where my passion for music takes
over. Of course, sometimes it can get a little hectic writing music for 2
different genres, but that's why I pace myself and I usually work on
finishing one album then start working on the next. Since I tend to release
an album every year for Transcend with Time which is my New Age/Ambient
project, I usually start by first getting into my “New Age” mode. Then I
start writing the music around Spring & into Fall. But I always go in
knowing the direction I want the album to take, so that makes my work much
easier.
For Subject to Thoughts which is my/our Progressive Rock/Metal project, it's
a little different because I have to write both the music & lyrics; however,
that'll probably change for future releases. Well, musically only. I guess
getting into my “Prog/Doom” mode is much easier because that's the type of
music I listen to everyday; however, before anything I go in with a plan as
to which direction I want the lyrics to go in & music. Since we don't
release an album every year that makes my job easier; however, when this
project was still a solo one, I used to release an album every year. Brandon
however told me to slow down, so I'll try. Usually how like doing this is I
first write the lyrics then the music. For me, writing lyrics is the easy
part. I guess because I've been writing lyrics since I was about 12.
So, it sounds like a lot of going back and forth with both projects.
Sometimes it is, but that's the price of being a musician with multiple
projects. In the end, I'm content because both projects give me the
different levels of gratification.
6. The Culmination was just released on May 5, 2010, what's the album about?
Well, “The Culmination” is the final part to the 4 part conceptual vision I
started with “From Emptiness to Beyond” back in 2005. “The Culmination” is
about finding closure to life. Lyrically, this album dealt with a lot of
personal stuff, but all the albums I've written, are about real-life.
Musically, it's Dark, Progressive & Melodic.
7. What would you like Subject to Thoughts to be remembered as?
Well, even though it's already been 11 years since I started this project, I
hardly think we'll be remembered. Geez, most people don't even know we
exist. But that's okay, all that matters to me anyway is that I have (in
some way) fulfilled my dream of becoming a musician and along the way made
some good music. But to answer your question, I would like Subject to
Thoughts to be remembered as a Progressive Rock/Metal band that always
strived to play original, thought-provoking music and thus creating our own
unique sound. But we are not going anywhere just yet, we're going to
continue to make the music we love for as long as we can. I can honestly say
that probably the best is yet to come (hopefully).

Power plant enters planning process
The Four Corners region could be facing a hazy future. A massive, new
coal-fired power plant planned for the region is undergoing review, and the
public is being asked to comment on the proposal.
The $2 billion plant would be the third coal-burning plant in the San Juan
Basin. It would be built on the Navajo Nation roughly 20 miles south of
Kirtland and has been tagged the Desert Rock Project. It's estimated that
the plant would generate enough energy for 1.5 million homes.
"It's a very large plant at 1,500 megawatts," said Dan Randolph of San Juan
Citizens' Alliance,
A fourth, smaller plant, named the Mustang Project, is also seeking approval
to begin construction between Farmington and Grants, N.M. Originally, the
plant was expected to be operational by next year, but there have been
delays. Mustang has categorically refused to consider alternative and
environmentally friendly technologies, yet recently received a $20 million
subsidy under President Bush's so-called Clear Skies Initiative.
While these plants are not within La Plata County's viewshed, they are well
within its airshed, according to Randolph. Plus, local air quality is
already significantly impacted by the two existing power plants in northern
New Mexico.
"A good respiratory health study for the basin has not been done at all,"
Randolph said. "Before we put more smoke up in the air, we should know what
the impacts already are."
The Bureau of Indian Affairs has invited the public to submit written
comments through Dec. 17 on the Desert Rock plant. There is also one public
hearing planned in the region and it will take place Tuesday, Dec. 7, at the
Farmington Civic Center.
"At this point, there is only one public meeting scheduled locally,"
Randolph said. "We're pushing for an additional meeting in Shiprock."
Randolph concluded that this scoping period is an opportunity for locals to
raise issues they would like to have addressed during the review process.
Written comments can be sent through Dec. 17 to: Eloise Chicharello,
director, Navajo Regional Office, Bureau of Indian Affairs, P.O. Box 1060,
Gallup, N.M., 87305.
Buena Vista voters repeal RGI
One of the poster children for Durango's proposed Responsible Growth
Initiative has gone away. On Nov. 2, Buena Vista voters repealed an
initiative that required a popular vote for large annexations. It had been
in existence for five years and touted as a success story by proponents of
Durango's similar measure, which was also rejected by voters Nov. 2.
Buena Vista resident Randy Loback told the Denver Post that easing
development restrictions was the only way to keep the town from dying.
Loback noted that residents, "used to be concerned about what's affecting
them now. I think a lot of people have turned their thoughts to the long
term. What's good for their kids?"
In particular, Buena Vista residents were interested in boosting sales tax
revenues by attracting commercial properties. The Post noted that residents
have realized that the summer tourism economy is not enough for Buena Vista.
"We have young people graduating who have to move because there's very
little here in terms of finding jobs that can pay for you to live," said
Mayor Sharyle Solis.
Public lands "passport" in works
Bikers, hikers and all users of public lands may have to start carrying a
"passport" when they recreate. An Ohio congressman has successfully pushed a
measure through Congress that would require members of the public to
purchase an "America the Beautiful" pass to recreate on all land managed by
the Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service,
and Bureau of Reclamation.
Ralph Regula, R-Ohio, succeeded in attaching his bill as a rider to the
giant Omnibus Appropriations Bill recently enacted in the lame duck session
of Congress. The bill was never passed by the House and was never
introduced, given a hearing or voted upon in the Senate. Omnibus bills are
considered "must pass" legislation because of the potential for a government
shutdown.
Regula's bill, HR 3283, allows the federal land management agencies to
charge access fees for recreational use of public lands by the general
public. The bill has been highly controversial and is opposed by hundreds of
organizations, state legislatures, county governments and members of the
public.
"This was a victory of pork over principle," said Robert Funkhouser,
president of the Western Slope No-Fee Coalition. "Ralph Regula is
responsible for the first tax increase of the Bush administration."
The Regula bill will go into effect when Fee Demo expires at the beginning
of fiscal year 2005 unless the new congress acts to derail it. Failure to
carry the pass will be a criminal offense punishable by up to $5,000 and/or
six months in jail. The America the Beautiful Pass is expected to cost
between $85 and $100 annually.
"This is an abuse of position by Congressman Regula" according to
Funkhouser. "Changing public land policy in the middle of the night via a
rider is despicable. Once again the congressman has proven to be hostile to
rural and Western values and will stop at nothing to push his agenda."
Fugitive pot grower nabbed
Members of the Southwest Drug Task Force recently concluded a three-year
investigation with the arrest of former La Plata County resident Edward
Pole. Pole was arrested on Thursday in Humble, Texas, after evading officers
since December 2001. Pole was involved with a "sophisticated" marijuana
cultivation operation located at the La Plata County home of Lynn Crandall.
Crandall and Pole had been charged in U.S. District Court with charges
related to conspiracy to manufacture marijuana, conspiracy to distribute
marijuana and money laundering.
According to investigators, Pole is believed to have traveled to Canada,
Panama and Costa Rica after learning about the December 2001 bust. The task
force was able to locate Pole in Texas after he re-entered the United States
several months ago.
The Southwest Drug Task Force is a multi-jurisdictional investigative body
comprised of the La Plata County Sheriffs Office, Ignacio Police Department
and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. The Southwest Drug Task Force
routinely files criminal cases in both Colorado State Court and the U.S.
Federal Court System.

Early this year, there was a buzz on Motorola inviting T-Mobile Moto X
owners to take part in a soak test for possible future update. Motorola
seemed skeptical in disclosing facts at that point of time but since Moto G
was recently upgraded to Android 4.4.2; enthusiasts anticipated the same for
T-Mobile Moto X. And it turned out to be true.
News Update
This T-Mobile version of Moto X is now receiving the upgrade which is a file
size of 147.6 MB. The Android 4.4.2 is the latest version of KitKat that
includes all the goodies from the earlier installments, plus a few
additions. The good news is, Motorola has customized the whole package and
made a few tweaks into the update. The Software Version bumped to 161.44.25
and the notable changes are listed as below:
- It added substantial support for services like printing photos, Google
Docs, Gmail messages and other such content via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and hosted
services such as HP ePrinters and Google Cloud Print.
- It fixed all the bugs identified during the preliminary runs, including
the ones that caused a few users to experience short battery life after
upgrading to KitKat.
- Another bug that caused delays in synchronizing email services like
Microsoft Exchange was resolved, thus adding to the convenience of the user.
This is a noteworthy upgrade, considering the fact that bugs and errors were
fixed. Mobile addicts across the world will rejoice, for they can experience
the smartness of Android KitKat flawlessly in their devices. This is
significant development in terms of update.
This variant is an unlocked GSM device so chances are, you can use it on
networks of other service providers. In all probability, the update should
not be affected and the installation should hardly take much time. The
T-Mobile Moto X Android update is now available for manual download. It is
accessible in the following sequential way:
- Click on Settings
- Click on About Phone
- Click on System Updates
- Click on Download
Recommendations
For ensuring a successful installation, it is highly recommended to install
this update with at least 50% battery and a strong connectivity; preferably
Wi-Fi. Follow the notification message and select download-> once the
download is over, select Install-> Once the installation is over, and the
phone will automatically restart. This marks the completion of the
installation process. The phone is now updated to 161.44.25 – This build is
same as the soak test.
This upgrade is free in the carrier network and Motorola and Google has
collaborated for a back up service for those in trouble. In case of
distress, a user can contact them through the Moto X web interface and avail
the service. There is still no news on other carrier variants of this update
but we can safely hope that it will roll out very soon. Though the upgrade
doesn’t appeal in terms of version number but it is definitely significant
for users to live with the latest KitKat.

| Caption: Tasmanian berry grower Nic Hansen showing Macau chef Antimo Merone around his property as part of export engagement activities.
THE RISE and rise of the Australian strawberry, raspberry and blackberry industries has seen the sectors redouble their international trade focus, with the release of a dedicated export plan to grow their global presence over the next 10 years.
Driven by significant grower input, the Berry Export Summary 2028 maps the sectors’ current position, where they want to be, high-opportunity markets and next steps.
Hort Innovation trade manager Jenny Van de Meeberg said the value and volume of raspberry and blackberry exports rose by 100 per cent between 2016 and 2017. She said the Australian strawberry industry experienced similar success with an almost 30 per cent rise in export volume and a 26 per cent rise in value to $32.6M over the same period.
“Australian berry sectors are in a firm position at the moment,” she said. “Production, adoption of protected substrate cropping, improved genetics and an expanding geographic footprint have all helped put Aussie berries on a positive trajectory.
“We are seeing a real transition point. Broad industry interest and a strong commercial appetite for export market development combined with the potential to capitalise on existing trade agreements and build new trade partnerships has created this perfect environment for growth.”
High-income countries across Europe, North America and Northern Asia have been identified as having a palate for Australian grown berries with more than 4244 tonnes of fresh berries exported in the last financial year alone.
The strategy identified the best short-term prospect markets for the Australian blackberry and raspberry industry as Hong Kong, Singapore, The United Arab Emirates and Canada. The strongest short-term trade options identified for the strawberry sector were Thailand, Malaysia, New Zealand and Macau.
The strategy focuses heavily on growing the existing strawberry export market from 4 per cent to at least 8 per cent of national production by volume, in markets with a capacity and willingness to pay a premium for quality fruit. For raspberries and blackberries, the sectors aim to achieve a 5 per cent boost in exports assessed by volume across identified markets by 2021.
Tasmanian raspberry exporter Nic Hansen said Australia offers some of the sweetest and most attractive berries in the world, and this combined with our stringent food safety standards across all stages of the supply chain puts growers in a solid position.
“We have a great product, we are hungry to expand trade and now with this new plan in place, we have a clear roadmap towards driving growth,” Mr Hansen said.
He said it is exciting to see new export market prospects for raspberries: “The more options we have for export the better. Now we just have to get on with the job of ensuring industry has all the tools it needs, such as supporting data and relationship building opportunities, to thrive in new markets.”
This project was commissioned by Hort Innovation, and developed by market analysts and research consultants Auspex Strategic Advisory and AgInfinity. Hort Innovation will work now with berry sectors to determine levy-funded activities to support trade.
See a summary of the strategy on the Hort Innovation website.

Southern Africa Self-supply Study Review of Self-supply and its support services in African countries

Project Description
UNICEF and Skat have collaborated on a).
Perspectives
Reach and benefits:
- Self-supply is practised by millions of rural households in Sub-Sahara Africa as well as in Europe, USA and other areas of the world.
- Benefits reported from having access to Self-supply water sources include convenience, less time spent for fetching water and access to more and better quality water. In some areas, Self-supply sources offer important added values such as water for productive use, income generation, family safety and improved food security.
- Sustainability of services from Self-supply is high as there is strong ownership by people investing in own sources.
- As Self-supply sources are shared sources, many people, including poor and vulnerable households, benefit from investments in Self-supply, often at no costs. This means that Self-supply can be effective in reaching the hard-to-reach.
- For millions of people in rural areas of Africa, supported Self-supply will be the most cost effective service delivery model to provide access to safe water. This also includes those parts of the population which actually have poor access as they e.g. cannot afford water from communal supplies.
- However, in areas where external support for Self-supply is lacking, only marginal improvements can usually be achieved, and the quality of services is lower than in areas where a dedicated support effort was made.
Costs and business model for supported Self-supply
- In many rural contexts, supported Self-supply is the most cost effective approach for water service delivery. However, as it is not applicable in all contexts, a blended approach combining communal water supply and supported Self-supply models should be followed.
- Based on a Life Cycle Cost (LCC) analysis of different service delivery approaches, the LCC for communal supplies are about 40 US$/capita served in the study countries, whereas the LCC for supported Self-supply is about 10 U$/capita.
- In sparsely populated areas, communal supplies (e.g. handpumps) are even more costly (up to 100 U$/capita served) as only few people can be served with one additional unit. Serving all rural people with communal supply is therefore not financially viable.
- Considering the applicability of Self-supply technologies, in Zambia and Zimbabwe, the cost saving of following a blended approach using both communal supplies and supported Self-supply is almost 50% of the total LCC for reaching 100% of the population by 2030. These cost savings are equivalent to more than 330 million US$ in Zambia and more than 260 million US$ in Zimbabwe.
Support services needed
- Supported Self-supply is a service delivery model putting support services in place to improve Self-supply, so it is not about a particular technology.
- Supported Self-supply is aligned with the Human Rights to Water and Sanitation, which allows a progressive realisation of the universal access to safe water. However, supported Self-supply is not a way to exempt government from its duties: Government has specific roles to play to ensure that everybody will have access to safe water finally.
- To sustain and to take Self-supply to scale there is need for contextualised support as well as long-term engagement, capacity development at all levels, M&E and technical support, reliable funding and learning and sharing.
- Interministerial cooperation and champions within government agencies are needed to ensure sustainable embedding and for taking Self-supply further, particularly in remote rural areas.
- There is no-one-size-fits-all solution for supported Self-supply – for each programme, it needs a contextualized design and follow-up to achieve desired impact.
- Hygiene promotion, including Household Water Treatment and Safe Storage (HWTS), is highly recommended for any non-piped water supply services, including Self-supply water sources.
- The huge potential for substantially improving the level of water supply for millions of people in rural areas should be accessed through supported Self-supply. Some countries have endorsed supported Self-supply as service delivery model, such as Zimbabwe or Sierra Leone, and in Ethiopia, Self-supply is now being scaled up at national level.

Description
Coolands for Twitter is a revolutionary twitter client. It has many unique features, gives you the best mobile twitter experience you never imagined before.
The first unique feature is Real-Time.
You can’t find any refresh button in this app, because you absolutely don’t need to. Every time you open it, you’ll get the latest tweets and while you’re reading, you’ll get incoming tweets in Real-Time. So if your friend mentioned you, you can reply instantly.
The second unique feature is Avatar Indicator.
Avatar Indicator is small avatars showed on the title bar to indicate that you’ve got new message/tweet/mention. Since it’s real-time, you’ll keep getting incoming tweets while you’re reading your older timeline, Avatar-Indicator will let you know who’s tweet you’ve just got, and decide whether to check it out right away.
The third unique feature is Direct Link
I think it is obviously the most intuitive and convenient way to open a link. When you want to open a link, just click it in the time line . You can also click a username to open a profile window, click a hash tag to open a search result window. Different kind of links displayed in different colors, you can change it to whatever color you like.
The fourth unique feature is Smart Bookmark
Have you ever experienced this scenario? When you are reading your home timeline, the app notified you that you’ve got some new tweets, you click “go-to-top” button to read the newest tweets, and then you want to get back to the previous position to continue your reading. How can you do this? In other twitter clients you have to scroll down all the way to find where you were, a lot of time wasted. But in this app, “go-to-top” button will appear when you scrolling up, click it, you can got to top, read the newest tweets. After that when you scrolling down, Smart Bookmark button will appear at the corner. Click it, you can get back to exactly where you were.
The fifth unique feature is User Level Notification
Notification for all your new tweets is meaningless, if you following more than a few users, you’ll get new tweets all the time. What if you only want to be notified when someone you most care about posted a new tweet? In this app, it’s easy. You can change your friend’s notification setting directly in his/her profile screen. You can also set different notification ringtone for your friends respectively. So when you heard a notification ringtone, you’ll know who he/she is without the need to open your phone. And you can manage all the enabled User-Level-Notification settings in one place.
Also has most of the basic twitter client features, like post/delete tweets, retweet, retweet with comment, reply, quote, send/delete direct message, subscribe/unsubscribe lists, follow/unfollow user, multiple accounts support, append picture with your tweets, mention auto complete, recent search auto complete, conversation view.

| Perhaps Not such a Good Idea
I have found trying to run a blog is very time-consuming, and there are other calls on my time. I think it has been demonstrated that if enough people are unable to self-moderate, the nuggets of interest are swamped by the rubbish. Sadly I agree with Mark Frank's assessment. I had hoped more thread topics would be proposed nothing has been suggested by anyone for a while.
My personal view is that, considering DaveScot's generally perceived blog persona, I have to admit that he hasn't been (on this site) quite the unmitigated disaster predicted. John Davison, on the other hand has conformed perfectly to predictions, which is a shame, but his choice.
I am happy to let things run for a while, but would like to hear from anyone who has a suggestion for a thread topic. Post here or in the suggestions thread
23 comments:
How about an "ID: show me the research" thread?
OK Rich, put some meat on the bones and I'll paste it.
Of course I have. I have no respect for you or your cronies from Psnda's Thumb. What did you expect kudos? What do you want another thread for? No one has even attempted to answer my four challenges yet. You know why? I do. It is because they can't, because everything you and your Darwimpian cronies stand for is a myth, an illusion and a hoax. That's why. You might as well close down this flame pit while you are behind as it isn't going anywhere.
It is hard to believe isn't it?
I love it so!
" "How about an "ID: show me the research" thread? "
Alan Fox said...
OK Rich, put some meat on the bones and I'll paste it. "
Why is there no ID research, even on Dembski's blog?
Why does ID consist solely of an opinion that some parts of human biology are designed?
How would IDers actually prove that some parts of human biology are in fact designed?
Expand a bit on the theme, Wonderpants and I'll start a thread if you like.
"My personal view is that, considering DaveScot's generally perceived blog persona, I have to admit that he hasn't been (on this site) quite the unmitigated disaster predicted. "
At a guess, it's because he can't duck or delete awkward subjects. I note from skimming through the threads though that he's been rather selective as to which ones he posts in, namely the ones that don't pose awkward ID questions. ;-)
Well, we can't torture a confession out of him. As Lenny points out frequently, an absence of an answer is in itself an answer. What about a thread from you, entitled " My awkard questions for DaveScot"?
I'm not sure how much meat can be put on the bones of a non-existent project, but here's my thought:
I would really like to hear about actual research projects that can be / are being done. Without knowing of any that are running currently, I'm not sure if it would be a good thread to start, but maybe you could ask for ideas.
It could be a thread dedicated to lab experiments. If X is designed, we will find Y. Here's how we find Y in the lab. Then we watch for the landslide of X and Y that get suggested and, of course, the methods that actually find these things.
Why would they start posting it now, though, after years of keeping it secret?
JAD: I have no respect for you or your cronies from Psnda's Thumb.
Which raises the obvious question of why you hang around in forums like this. Why not submit your work to a technical journal where real scientists will read it?
Well, unless and until Wonderpants or Blipey want to expand on it, I have framed a thread along the line suggested.
I think a good thread would be "Place A Vote For or Against the Banning of Professor Emeritus John Davison".
I invade the ephemeral meaningless world of cyberdom for amusement on the outside chance that I might find a rational mind once in a while, one like johndarius for example. Mostly I encounter mentally impaired ideologues with IQs in the room temperature range or hostile, rabid, certifiably deranged schizophrenic sociopaths like Spravid Dinger. This particular blog seems to be blessed with both varieties.
Naturally -
I love it so!
I'll try and think of something tomorrow.
Been watching the footie tonight.
Props to France for winning aghainst Spain, Alan.
Ah, the World Cup. Something else Mrs Fox and I disagree on. Yes there would have been a few glum faces at work tomorrow. Now if only France can beat Brazil, and England beat Portugal.
JAD, you didn't answer my second question: Why not submit your work to a technical journal where real scientists will read it?
Why would real scientists want to read the nonsensical ramblings of a pseudoscientist?
Give me a shout if you need some "help."
Naturally -
I love it so!
But JAD won't publish in a scientific journal any longer. According to his second post, we can assume that he visits Nature's website "for amusement on the outside chance that [he] might find a rational mind once in a while, one like a [creationist] for example. Mostly [he] encounters mentally impaired [evolutionary biologists] "
I can't think of a single great scientist who wouldn't describe himself as a creationist, not one. Can anyone?
I love it so!
Democritus, Sagan, Darwin, Edison, Feynman, Curie, just to name a handful.
Of course, they never managed to publish in Rivista... [snicker]
Feynman once described scientific discovery as a religious experience. I agree entirely as I have had the same experience. That anyone could describe Darwin as a scientist is unthinkable. I didn't know that about Curie and tend not to accept it without some documentation.
I love it so!
What a sad little weasel you are. Feynman was an avowed atheist. Curie was raised Catholic but became an atheist on the death of her mother. Darwin was 100 times the scientist you are.
Creationism is all but dead among true scientists; critical inquiry is poison to that superstitious twaddle. | What is the author's personal view on DaveScot's blog persona? |

| I just started a new blog on my ultralight gear. My gear list in all it's glory is located on: each item of gear, I'm writing an in-depth review for the item and how we have used it. Would love to get feedback and the site and our gear and/or comments from people on how we can fine tune.Currently my wifes pack is 7.5 lbs base weight, and mine is 10.5 lbs.Thanks!-Brett
Edited by brettmarl on 09/09/2006 15:59:48 MDT.
Brett, Your BLOG looks good.You should put the size of your items where their is one such as pants, shoes, jacket etc. There is a golf like "handicap' for anyone that wears larger then size medium or size 9.5 shoe. Sure.I think you might recheck some of your math. Not sure but some totals look low. Don't trust the posted weightof gear, weigh it yourself if you haven't.Why is your pack list so heavy?
I agree, nice looking blog. Bill is right on listing the sizes, other than that....looks great!
Brett - nice list, and nice format!(One small typo: it currently says "Cloudburt" for the tent.)
Edited by slnsf on 09/09/2006 18:08:48 MDT.
Great site with good info. I'm trying to decide between the GoLite Infinity and Jam and I think after reading your blog, that the Jam should be plenty big.I'm interested to see what's in your first aid kit.Also, any issues with the water purification tablets? I currently use a MSR miniworks pump and I'm looking to lighten up...
At first I thought you might not be warm enough as I reviewed your North Cascade hike, then I recounted your layers. Very nice site! What I was a little confused about was the opening statement of getting four days of backpacking gear into a pack, yet at the bottom the food for two was estimated for three days. However I now understand that these are not mutually exclusive statements.
thanks for the feedback.i fixed the cloudburt typo (thanks), and the 4 vs. 3 days. ai also completed all my gear posts - including the innards of my first aid kit and my experiences with the MicroPUR tabs.the weights listed should be the ones that i weighed myself (unless, i've mis-typed in some areas)bill - you say to check my math with "Why is your pack list so heavy?". not sure what you are refering to here.great idea on including the sizes.
