174 Calories: Two Decisive Moments
Today I helped cook a zen meal for a 5 day sit (I wasn't doing the sit). Sweet potato and miso soup, short grain brown rice ((with a mixture of sesame seeds and salt (1:16) that people put on it)), and a salad with romaine lettuce, cucumbers and tomato. I was under suspicion of mis-measuring the rice and water, but it turned out fine. Seeing the fine lunch ready for the sitters was a good moment, though maybe not decisive.
Stupidly the second half of my walk today was when it was 101 degrees. Shade and a breeze were my best friends. And then I saw this sign. As confused and tired as I was, it seemed to define the moment.

The League for Animal Welfare, a no-kill animal shelter in Batavia, OH, will host a March Meowness Cat Adoption Event Friday, March 2, 2012, through Sunday, March 11, 2012. During this time only, cat adoption fees for all cats will be reduced to $35. Additionally, with every cat adoption, you will receive a free gift bag filled with cat food, treats, toys, and more! All adoptions include vaccinations, spay/neuter, vet checks, micro-chips, and tests for FIV and Feline Leukemia. The event is sponsored by Highland Heights Animal Hospital.
“Adopting out cats in this tough economy is difficult, but even more challenging is matching the right cat with the right home,” said Joyce Blersch, League for Animal Welfare board member. “If you’re considering adding a cat to your family, then now is the time,” Blersch adds.
The League for Animal Welfare has more than 60 cats looking for their “fur-ever” homes.
Help our cats score a slam dunk with a forever home!

Over the next couple weeks, I’ll be doing several posts in a series that I’m calling “Birding for Beginners”. I decided to start with one of the most important choices that a beginning birder can make – choosing a field guide.
The volume of choices available when you start looking at field guides can be extremely overwhelming. How in the world are beginning birders supposed to know which of the dozens of field guides that are available will be best to help you learn about the birds that you are seeing? In order to help you decide which field guide to choose, there are several questions that you should ask yourself. First,do you prefer guides with photos or with drawings? Everyone seems to have a strong preference towards one or the other. Second, what region would you like the guide to cover? Is covering just part of North America good enough, or would you like a guide that covers everything you might find in North America?
Once you have answered those questions, you will be much more prepared to select a field guide. I recommend the following field guides based on my experiences using many different guides over the years.
1. The Kaufman Field Guide to Birds of North America
In my opinion, this is the best field guide to the birds in North America for beginning birders. The book is laid out in a way that really helps you find birds in the book as well as learn them as you go. It features photos of each species and very helpful text explaining many of the key identification points in addition to other useful information such as habitats and nesting behaviors. This is also the first field guide to the birds of North America that is translated into Spanish (Guia de Campo Kaufman a las Aves de Norteamericas).
2. The Sibley Guide to Birds
If you prefer drawings to photos, the Sibley Guide to Birds is definitely the book for you. The drawings are very accurate and highlight all of the best identification points of each species. The text is also well written and extremely helpful for those that take the time to read it. This book is offered in three versions: North American, Eastern North America, and Western North America.
3. The Peterson Field Guide to Birds
The first good field guide in the United States was the Peterson Guide to Birds published in 1934. There have been many revisions and upgrades to this book over the years, and it’s still a very good field guide. The book also features drawings of bird species, but I personally prefer Sibley’s artwork. It’s also offered in three versions like The Sibley Guide to Birds – North American, Eastern North America, and Western North America.
No matter which field guide you choose, I highly recommend that you read the introduction chapters of each book before diving into the more fun images of the birds. There’s an incredible amount of info that can be learned by reading the intros to these books. You’ll learn how to use the field guide, bird topography (parts of the birds), and how to understand range maps that are included for each species.

Our stockpile reports also feature a black and white topographical map of the pile, rendered using contour lines.
Stockpile Reports has customers located all over the world. Our team views color images from stockpiles that have been measured from exotic locations such as Australia, India, South America, Chile, New Zealand and more. It is wonderful to view sunny stockpile images with blue skies, especially when the weather is dreary here in the Pacific Northwest.
We enjoy viewing the black and white contour lines that are generated from each pile measured just as much as the color images. Every contour map is unique! Some are jagged, others are almost perfectly symmetrical. Some of the contour maps look like outlines of animals such as fish, or butterflies.
Contour lines are lines drawn on a map connecting points of equal elevation. Contour lines show both the elevation and illustrate the shape of the terrain.
A contour map is another name for a topographic map, illustrated from contour lines.
A topographic map is a two-dimensional representation of a portion of the three-dimensional surface of the earth. Many of you who hike outside are familiar with this type of map. Topographic maps show contour lines for only certain elevations. These lines are evenly spaced apart. This spacing is called the contour interval.
To make topographic maps easier to read, every fifth contour line is an index contour. The index contour lines are the only ones labeled. The index contours are a darker or wider line in comparison to the regular contour lines. Elevations are marked on the index contour lines only. To determine the gradient of elevations, observe the amount of space in between the lines. If the contours are placed close together, then you’re looking at a steep slope. If the contours have wide spaces in between — or aren’t there at all — then the terrain is relatively flat.
Some industries that use topographic maps extensively are: engineering, exploration, construction, natural resource management, recreation, and public works.
When viewing a Stockpile Report, it is easy to see how steep the stockpile is, view the edges, and the height from looking at the stockpile’s contour map.
Collecting regular measurements enables remote site management and site accountability. With each report, remote managers can visually inspect the quality and state of each pile via the stockpile image and contour map, to ensure proper stockpile management.

Revolution & History
Knowing a culture’s origin is extremely difficult, especially when its history has been mostly shared orally. The first thing we can say about the Kuna people is that they originally inhabited forests and mountains, when there were no frontiers. For many centuries, as it is known in America, indigenous peoples went through a long struggle with European conquerors and pirates, some were successful, some others weren’t. The Kunas resisted the Spanish conquest for centuries, and they would stand firmly and fight against any threat.
Around the middle of the 19th century, the Kunas started moving towards the coast and nearby islands. This took more than 80 years, and brought more access to merchandise exchange, less diseases and less mosquito and snake bites.
In 1903, while Panama was planning its separation from Colombia, the Kunas were forced to choose which country they would be part of. They were divided: one pro-Colombia group, led by Inabaginya, and one pro-Panama group led by Simral Colman.
Between 1912-1924, Belisario Porras was elected 3 times as president of the young Panama, along came his plans of “civilizing” the Kunas: consumption of traditional alcoholic drinks, use of nose rings, molas and winis were prohibited. In each community, the government imposed its rules by beating and imprisoning rebels. Colman and his successor, Nele Kantule, looking for support, were the main organizers of what is now known as the Tule Revolution of 1925: on February 22, 1925 –the first day of the Panamanian Carnival-, the Kuna communities revolted against the police.
With some North American support, negotiations between Panama and Kuna Yala were achieved. It was agreed that violence and culture suppression would stop in return of loyalty from Kuna Yala to the Republic of Panama. In 1938, the San Blas Comarca was created (later renamed: Kuna Yala).

Title: Ask of the North Wind News of Them
Characters: Legolas, Gimli, Aragorn
Source: LoTR and Appendices
Disclaimer: Middle-earth belongs to Tolkien and his heirs: I wander there for fun, not profit
This seemed like a good way to resolve the arc that began with The Axe of His Fathers and continued with What Goes Around, Comes Around...
Ask of the North Wind News of Them
“Dispatches, my friends.” Aragorn passes sealed parchments to Elf and Dwarf, hurriedly summoned to his Cormallen tent. “From the North.”
As the pair hastily break seals and scan he watches closely. Through pursuit, siege, battle they hid their fears well; but with Quest achieved and Mordor routed, there’s been space and time for thoughts and hearts to turn anxiously homewards…
Gimli puffs out a long breath; Legolas’ shoulders relax just a fraction. They exchange glances, satisfied nods; then sink together by unspoken consent onto the tree-trunk stools and begin comparing news and notes.
Aragorn smiles. A small, unexpected extra happiness.
('Now why did not we wish for some of our own kinsfolk, Legolas?'
Legolas stood before the gate and turned his bright eyes away north and east, and his fair face was troubled. 'I do not think that any would come,' he answered. 'They have no need to ride to war; war already marches on their own lands.'
The Return of the King, LoTR Book 5, Ch 2, The Passing of the Grey Company)
BTW, dearest mods, I couldn't tag this with a "challenge: blessings: happiness" tag, there doesn't seem to be one yet? Thx!

The Office is always the Office and it means work, but if you spend more time in your “home office” then South Florida could be your best choice. House prices compared to New York or California are low enough for you to get that extra room, which you can use as your working place for the “New Norm” or COVID-19 Norm.
Also you will be able to take the TAX benefit of not paying State Income Tax or City Tax. Even if you spend some time of the year in Florida you may be able to offset part of the yearly tax.
Miami Homes have bigger rooms with plenty of natural light, in some cases you may find houses with Dens, that can be used as home Office or you may end up with a big open space or a Florida Room that can be a perfect space for your working desk, while you can experience a lake view or to the Golf course.
Ocean view, Bay view, Lake View or Golf, any of those can be relaxing and can benefit your work day, if you can work from your Home Office.

I was cleaning my bike yesterday and I noticed on the left side of the bike on the front part of the engine (next to the gear shifter), there is a small unpowdercoated section; and in the middle of this section there is hole that appears to be threaded. Just wondering what the heck it it? I have a 2011 Vegas.
What is it? It is a small unpowdercoated secton with a threaded hole in it. What it is for is beyond me, but I have that too. Probably to mount a bracket or something on different model bikes. I just masked it off and gave it a touch of flat black high temp paint.

Jackson police officers will have to wait a bit longer to see if city council members will use money to thank them for dealing with the long hours they’ve incurred in dealing with a department that’s short more than ninety active-duty officers.
Madison police gave few details for why they still haven’t completed the investigation into a deadly crash between a pickup truck and four motorcycles that took place in July 2018, citing lab results as a contributing factor.
Carfax experts say there are potentially more than one million cars on the roads with false odometer readings - meaning their mileage has been rolled back to make the vehicles look like they have less wear and tear.
From less-than-truthful crime statistics to details of high-profile killings intentionally left out, our investigation into the Jackson Police Department has established over the last three months that certain aspects of the department remain shrouded in secrecy.
Jackson city leaders unveiled a brand-new website Monday, specifically designed for data on everything from public safety to population, which will eventually include real-time collection of information from every department.
After two months, Jackson’s police department is now sharing the Capital City’s crime picture online, releasing those February numbers to the public after a 3 On Your Side investigation showed inaccurate statistics had been put out by the department last year on multiple occasions.
The Uniform Crime Reporting Act of 1988 requires federal law enforcement agencies to submit information about their cases to a federal database maintained by the FBI; however, those agencies are currently not submitting data, including information about hate crimes.
An impromptu meeting Friday morning with a Hinds County Democratic election subcommittee -- triggered by information 3 On Your Side discovered -- now raises residency concerns about Colendula Green’s candidacy for sheriff.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau provides information about financial institutions, including complaints. But NerdWallet and InvestigateTV have found examples of complaints that don't show up in the database.
The Jackson Police Department canceled Friday’s Uniform Crime Report meeting, the second held since JPD decided to end its public COMSTAT meetings amid scrutiny over a 3 On Your Side investigation into the department’s reporting practices.
While critics of Senate Bill 2161 say it’s dangerous and could lead to more unsolved homicides, one supporter believes it will relieve the massive backlog of cases at the state crime lab by redefining the word “autopsy.”
A 3 On Your Side investigation finds less than nine percent of all law enforcement agencies in Mississippi actually reported hate crime information to the federal government, making it difficult to determine how prevalent they are in the Magnolia State.
After months spent planning for the city’s pilot parking meter program to launch in Fondren, city officials reversed course and now will debut the tech-savvy meters on a downtown street instead, more than four months behind schedule.
According to government reports, there is evidence that the main oversight agency for seafood, the Food and Drug Administration, has failed to meet new mandates to increase inspections at foreign food facilities.
One week after a 3 On Your Side investigation revealed inconsistencies with the Jackson Police Department’s own crime statistics, links pointing to those crime stats have now disappeared from the city’s website.
Over the last year, 3 On Your Side has discovered a disturbing trend within the Jackson Police Department: a lack of transparency that could threaten the safety of those who live within the Capital City.
Every child in Mississippi who rides a school bus should be able to get on and off those buses getting to and from school safely, but the reality is more and more children are losing their lives because of impatient or distracted drivers.
Internal emails obtained recently by 3 On Your Side show the Jackson Public Schools' campus enforcement division removed a requirement to track the district’s crimes after our investigation revealed they weren’t following that requirement.
We're on the brink of the big holiday shopping rush. But before you hand over your plastic, learn where identity thieves are most likely to lurk. They leave their footprint in places you might not suspect,
Hundreds of Americans live in deplorable rental properties and their landlord is the federal government. The properties need $50 billion in repairs. Uncle Sam now is hoping that private investors will save public housing.
Research shows many Americans are concerned with whether Social Security will be available when they retire, but many aren’t saving. NerdWallet experts help explain the realities of Social Security and what you can do.
Jackson Public Schools' Oct. 14 appeal to the Mississippi High School Activities Association points the blame squarely at Forest Hill High School’s band director, not the students themselves, in an attempt to reverse the organization’s decision against the band program as a whole.
A months-long 3 On Your Side joint investigation with Mississippi Today reveals a low-income housing system that disproportionately affects many of its tenants and suggests America’s bipartisan affordable housing efforts -- funded by federal tax dollars -- may be trapping even more within its walls
When you post a picture, a locator, or any information on Facebook, it then belongs to Facebook. Third party companies can buy access to information you have freely offered. Companies like health insurance providers might be buying that data and using it to help set insurance rates.
A two-year search for justice in 22-year-old Michael Collins' drowning death will come to a close in the coming weeks, even though it's an outcome that worries his father because of so many others who work up and down the Mississippi River.
Tracing the path to long-lost relatives has never been easier. For roughly a hundred bucks, people can unlock information about their ancestors. It's especially useful for adopted children, many of whom believe that knowing the identity of your birth parents is a civil right.
Dozens of people all over the country say they were charged thousands of dollars more than they should have been by a moving company. Some claim they never got their belongings back. Now, one family's ordeal has drawn the attention of federal authorities, investigating a business that claims to have ties right here in the Jackson metro.
For a half century, Malaco Records' soul, blues and gospel music have made the independent, southern soul label a national success. To the surprise of many, the record company is located right here in Magnolia State.
Chances are, your phone rings at least once a day with a call you didn't want and didn't ask for, with someone trying to sell you something or otherwise separate you from your money. How do you make the calls stop?
In a special investigation, 3 On Your Side broke down just how much the Capital City had been losing on parking meters over the last decade. We examined hundreds of those parking meters back in 2016 to see how many worked, after trying to get these numbers from the city.
InvestigateTV is available now on Roku and will be released to other digital streaming services soon. Raycom Media President and CEO Pat LaPlatney made the announcement Thursday at the annual Investigative Reporters and Editors conference in Orlando, FL.

More than two-thirds of African Americans polled by CNN said that Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision of race relations, outlined in his “I have a dream” speech, has been fulfilled. Just 46 percent of whites felt the same way. The poll was released on Monday—the holiday honoring the slain civil rights leader and the day before the inauguration of the first black U.S. president. (CNN)
What the commentators said
Obama's election proves we've come a long way toward racial equality, said Ed Morrissey in Hot Air. Glenn Reynolds said in his blog that whites are more pessimistic because of lingering white guilt. But the truth is that white Americans haven't lived the black experience and aren't as aware of the barriers that exist, so we don't feel it's our place to "make the call."
"Racism still exists in America," said The Oklahoman in an editorial, but there's no denying that Obama's elevation to the highest office in the land marks the realization, in large part, of King's dream. This should renew the hope that we will soon reach other milestones of progress that King envisioned.
"I wish Martin Luther King were here to see a Dream coming true," said Leonard Pitts in The Miami Herald. But not just King. "I wish Emmett Till, Jimmie Lee Jackson, Goodman, Chaney and Schwerner, Viola Liuzzo and all the other martyrs were here." And Rosa Parks, along with so many other soldiers of the civil rights era. "They are dead now," but this inauguration day we saw that the things they gave live on.

“I just got off stage 15 minutes ago, so the adrenaline is still pumping” Nate Ruess said as he chatted with Fuse behind the scenes at Washington D.C.’s first-ever Landmark Music Festival this weekend. The Fun. singer shared his thoughts on the art of playing a sunset festival set, the Nation’s capitol, and the good times surrounding his recent solo album, “Grand Romantic.” Check out the interview in the video player above.
His experience on the road playing the new songs has been another joy because he’s been enjoying his band and the fans’ reactions so much. “It reminds me of being a kid again,” Ruess says.
