Like many fellow vegans, Cerulli abstained from animal-derived foods because he cared about the consequences of his eating, but his decision to hunt was an extension of the same feelings. Watching hunters headed to the woods each autumn, I used to shake my head.
As a vegan who abhorred violence and suffering, I wondered what possessed such people. That they ate flesh was bad enough. That they spent time and money in pursuit of the chance to deal death to fellow creatures was incomprehensible. From where I stood in our organic vegetable garden, I saw hunting as a barbaric relic of humanity's pre-agricultural past, the antithesis of our gentle efforts to coax sustenance from the soil. I couldn't possibly have pictured myself a decade later, mapping deer trails all summer in hopes of dragging home venison come November. Even local, organic greens and strawberries came to us courtesy of missing forests, smoke-bombed woodchucks, and rifle-shot deer. So I took up hunting. The Daily Pothole. Whitney Drug Probe: Investigators to quiz doctors who wrote Houston’s multiple sedative prescriptions Tibrina Hobson/WireImage Whitney Houston's death probe focuses on prescription drugs.
Investigators will question Whitney Houston’s doctors to determine who gave the dead diva the sedatives that may have played a role in her untimely death. "We will try to obtain medical records from her doctors,” said Ed Winter, assistant chief of the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office. “There were some prescription bottles that were not identified in terms of what they were.” Winter told the Daily News that cops did not find a large number of pill bottles in the fourth-floor luxury suite at the Beverly Hilton where she died.
Winter said there were a couple of older pill bottles in Houston’s hotel room and one that had been filled recently. Houston was seen visiting two different Beverly Hills doctors within a five-day period before she died - one on Feb. 2 and the other on Feb. 7, TMZ reported. Some of the meds in her room were reportedly benzodiazepines, including Xanax and Valium. Like a Roomba for outer space! Swiss scientists launch “janitor satellite” to clean up space junk Swiss Space Center/AP The Swiss Space Center launched the "CleanSpace One", a project to develop and build the first installment of a family of satellites specially designed to clean up space debris. GENEVA — The tidy Swiss want to clean up space. Swiss scientists said Wednesday they plan to launch a “janitor satellite” specially designed to get rid of orbiting debris known as space junk.
The 10-million-franc ($11-million) satellite called CleanSpace One — the prototype for a family of such satellites — is being built by the Swiss Space Center at the Swiss Federal Institute for Technology in Lausanne, or EPFL. EPFL said Wednesday its launch would come within three to five years and its first tasks are to grab two Swiss satellites launched in 2009 and 2010. The U.S. space agency NASA says over 500,000 pieces of spent rocket stages, broken satellites and other debris are being tracked as they orbit Earth. Next, the satellite has to be grab hold of and stabilize the debris at high speeds. Annie Murphy Paul: Your Morning Routine Is Making You Dull.
Brrriiinnng. The alarm clock buzzes in another hectic weekday morning. You leap out of bed, rush into the shower, into your clothes and out the door with barely a moment to think. A stressful commute gets your blood pressure climbing. Once at the office, you glance through the newspaper, its array of stories ranging from discouraging to depressing to tragic. With a sigh, you pour yourself a cup of coffee and get down to work, ready to do some creative, original problem solving. Good luck with that. (MORE: Paul: The Myth of ‘Practice Makes Perfect’) As several recent studies highlight, the way most of us spend our mornings is exactly counter to the conditions that neuroscientists and cognitive psychologists tell us promote flexible, open-minded thinking.
Your commute filled with honking cars or sharp-elbowed fellow passengers doesn’t help, either.

The 'Undue Weight' of Truth on Wikipedia - The Chronicle Review. By Timothy Messer-Kruse For the past 10 years I've immersed myself in the details of one of the most famous events in American labor history, the Haymarket riot and trial of 1886. Along the way I've written two books and a couple of articles about the episode. In some circles that affords me a presumption of expertise on the subject. Not, however, on Wikipedia. The bomb thrown during an anarchist rally in Chicago sparked America's first Red Scare, a high-profile show trial, and a worldwide clemency movement for the seven condemned men. Today the martyrs' graves are a national historic site, the location of the bombing is marked by a public sculpture, and the event is recounted in most American history textbooks. Its Wikipedia entry is detailed and elaborate. A couple of years ago, on a slow day at the office, I decided to experiment with editing one particularly misleading assertion chiseled into the Wikipedia article.
The "undue weight" policy posed a problem. LPT: If you're ever bitten by an ant, just rub something alkaline onto it to relieve the sting. : LifeProTips. "Amazing Dad Magic" by Caldwell Tanner. Hustler. Larry Flynt Hustler Club on West 52nd Street in New York Hustler is a monthly pornographic magazine published in the United States. It was first published in 1974 by Larry Flynt.
It was a step forward from the Hustler Newsletter, which was cheap advertising for his strip club businesses at the time. The magazine grew from a shaky start to a peak circulation of around 3 million; it has since dropped to approximately 500,000. It showed explicit views of the female genitalia, becoming one of the first major US-based magazines to do so, in contrast with relatively modest publications like Playboy.[1] Larry Flynt Publications also licenses Hustler brand to the Hustler Casino in Gardena, California which is owned directly by Larry Flynt as an individual through his holding company El Dorado Enterprises, the Hustler Club chain of bars and clubs, and Hustler store chain that sells adult-oriented videos, cIothing, magazines and sex toys.
Publisher[edit] Regular features[edit] Editorial policy[edit] NC preschooler’s “unhealthy” lunch replaced with cafeteria nuggets. UPDATE: This story has been updated with a newer version including statements from USDA officials. Click here to read the updated report. —————————- RAEFORD, N.C. — A Hoke County preschooler was fed chicken nuggets for lunch because a state worker felt that her homemade lunch did not have enough nutritional value, according to a report by the Carolina Journal.
The West Hoke Elementary School student was in her More at Four classroom when a state employee who was inspecting lunch boxes decided that her packed lunch — which consisted of a turkey and cheese sandwich, a banana, apple juice and potato chips — “did not meet U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines,” the Journal reports.
The decision was made under consideration of a regulation put in place by the the Division of Child Development and Early Education at the Department of Health and Human Services, which requires all lunches served in pre-kindergarten programs to meet USDA guidelines.

5 Ways We Ruined the Occupy Wall Street Generation. At this moment, a whole lot of people, most of them 15 to 20 years younger than me, are protesting in every major city. What are they angry about? A lot of things, some of which are partially my fault. See, I'm a part of Generation X, the post-Baby Boom era kids who grew up on a mental diet of Beavis and Butthead and Alice in Chains.
We wrote poems about how angry we were at our fathers, wore goatees like weapons and made panties burst into flames by playing Pearl Jam's Black on our acoustic guitars. We were a bridge from the Baby Boomers to all you guys who are in high school and college now. And I'm pretty sure we fucked up that handoff pretty badly. This is not a sarcastic apology, I'm not a big enough dick to write all of this as a backhanded insult about how lazy and entitled you are.

SyKoHPaTh comments on Why are they even on this planet..? How to measure your waist size without putting on pants or using a measuring tape. - this is fyf. When out shopping, sometimes you don't really want to try on a pair of pants to check if they fit. Whether there is a line at the dressing room or you're simply in a hurry, you need a method to determine size quickly. Because sizing seems increasingly arbitrary, having a rule of thumb is all the more useful. (Really Rag & Bone , your construction is superb, but your sizing is batty.) Shopping with a friend Sunday, the topic arose at A.P.C. Facing the waist of the jeans toward you, place the jeans over your neck where a tee shirt collar falls.

Adulthood, Delayed: What Has the Recession Done to Millennials? - Derek Thompson - Business. The Great Recession didn't just postpone financial independence for millions of young Americans. It also changed our attitudes about what it means to be an adult. Flickr image: Scarleth White Generations are social constructs.
There is no chemical or biological difference between Gen-Xers and Millennials, but we talk about them as if they were different species. That Gen-Xers grew up "independent" and Millennials grew up "entitled" aren't anthropological observations. Rather, they're marginally useful stereotypes. If it's true that members of a certain age group have commonalities that they don't fully share with older or younger groups, this isn't the result of generational determinism. The circumstances surrounding the Millennial generation are particularly strange.

We've heard a lot of iPad 3 rumors over the last few weeks. However, today we bring you something a little more ... physical, than the usual source claiming the next iPad will be announced on March (or February) X, 2012. Instead of wondering if the next iPad will pack this display or that port, one repair site decided to take some of the rumored parts people have been talking about and see if they fit together.
AppleInsider reports that iLab managed to get its hands on three individual parts rumored to be in the next iPad: An LCD panel from Sharp, a back plate/casing, and a newly-designed 30-pin dock connector. Probably the most interesting part of all this is that the display from Sharp has a screen resolution that measures in at 2,048 x 1,536 and a pixel density of 264 ppi. When Apple launched the iPad 2 last year, the company surprised many by not including Retina display.
