Judge James Lawlor, the probate court administrator, gets the boot — or rather, "made a decision to retire," according to Chief Court Administrator Barbara M. Quinn. What message does that send to our 117 different probate courts that have been excoriated for trampling the civil rights of the old, frail and impoverished?Lawlor has been the man pushing for change from inside, dragging renegade pr

Some of my new readers may be surprised to learn that I am, in fact, a Christian. I know it's kind of hard to tell, because I don't really believe in pushing my beliefs on people. Also, I'm kind of a jackass.Maybe what I need is a blog banner with one of those fish symbols on it, like you see on the back of people's cars. You know, like the song says: "They will know we are Christians by the c

This morning we met a student group at the Singapore Fishery Port to show them the start of the supply chain for fish products.

Many people who lived near rivers and oceans have used fish skin throughout history. It's not an original idea and tanned fish skins have long been used in Russia and Japan, where they were employed to bind sword handles. What's new is the way these discards are put to use in this brave new world. Two of them show a promising future.

I have to stop and ask myself - self, do you really buy the shit that American Airlines (AA) is spewing?   They’re upping ticket prices and charging to check all luggage.  Granted, I recognize the fuel increases, but correct me if I’m wrong - wasn’t AA just HEAVILY fined for shoddy flight inspections? Think they’re [...]

There’s something “fishy” with Nicole and Josef on Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus. Well, aside from the fact that Nicole is “head-over-heels” with the lethal lasallite, there are actual fishes swimming on the “aquarium-cum-goggles” that Josef is wearing. Nicole is very keen on examining the fishes or something else.

Have you ever thought of an island that looks like a fish from the globe overview? Isn’t it funny a fishy island surrounded with fishes inside the sea? Oh, you may think that my geography is awful, but I’m able to proof this reality. You may check out yourself via the map. Follow the instruction: It lies 3.2 km east of Java and approximately 8 degrees south of the equator. East to west, the island is approximately 153 km wide and 112 km north to south, with a surface area of 5,632 km². Oh, I think you have already found it – Bali itself – an island that makes your dreams true. Don’t you wish to be there while your holidays, spending great time in a wild nature and wide your dreams horizon? Also you may appear a person who is always ready for innovations, who is not afraid o

~Snooper~Now I am pissed off. We already have way too many retarded libtards in Texas and here we have the bastards moving here in droves. Perhaps they got sick and tired of their libtard garbage up north and east...since libtardism is a complete FAILURE, they are redeploying to see if it can FAIL someplace else as pitifully as it FAILED where they came from.I say we round them up at the next Texas Rattlesnake Rodeo Round-Up and ship them to Siberia.Damn libtards.

The Betta fish, also know as the Siamese fighting fish, is one of the most popular types of fish in the world. It is one of the most beautiful and recognizable types of fish. It'is also low maintenance compared to other pets. Caring for Betta fish is relatively easy as long as you follow a few simple rules. Follow the Betta fish care tips below and you'll be on your way to a happy and healthy pet. 1. Betta's need plenty of room to swim around, so a large enough bowl is important. They also need access to the surface. Betta's have a specialized respiratory organ that allows them to breath air directly from the atmosphere. 2. Betta fish do not require water filtration (in fact, they do better in standing water) so no pumps are necessary. But the water must be replaced every 3 days. The new

As part of my efforts to become financially independent, I am looking to diversify my investments.  Part of the goal is to be able to generate regular, recurring income.  The other part is to ensure that my portfolio covers a wide range of assets so I am not at risk if a single asset class does poorly. Since most of my portfolio is in stocks and bonds right now, adding real estate is something I am looking into.  I have been studying materials and trying to learn about the industry before I jump in.  Part of my learning process has been looking at online materials, including blogs, about real estate. One of those, Real Estate Investing for Real, has an interesting post on one of the homes they looked at.  They titled it A Fishy Abandoned House Tale.  This is not a typical tale, otherwise real estate investing would be a poor choice of careers. That kind of story is why I am not rushing in to real estate.  Still, I am convinced that real estate is an important asset class to add,

One of the many things my mother worried about when I told I would be going off to Senegal was my health. The bit about the yellow fever shot scared her quite a bit, of course, plus there was the laundry list of other dangers including (but by no means limited to!) malaria, typhoid, rabies, dengue, meningitis, amoebic dysentery, etc., etc. I think I got about 9 different vaccinations before I left home, but paradoxically, the sickest I got was when I was trying to avoid getting sick: I had a craving for eggplants and washed them in Clorox (or eau de javel as it is known here). I had the runs for three days, and I am convinced that it was not the fault of the poor blameless vegetable but the radical steps I took to cleanse it. I no longer brush my teeth with bottled water as I did at first, which just goes to show the extent to which I have let down my guard. (more…)

When I was reviewing what sold last month in the Greater Olde Towne East area, I came across this listing that sold for $217,000.  That seemed a little high for the address, so I clicked over the auditor’s page and found this picture for that address.  Last month’s Seller paid $24,000 for the property in April of this year.  Free enterprise is a beautiful thing and I love the idea of making money in Real Estate as much as the next guy, I just don’t like inacurrate values being placed on home that have no business selling that high – it’s bad for everybody.  Besides, nothing on this block has sold for more than $97,900, ever.  I haven’t driven by the property but it was advertised in the MLS as a brick home. Clearly, it is asbestos shingle according to the auditor’s picture.  It’s not a horrible neighborhood by any means, and maybe the house was worth every penny.  Maybe. Not a p

Charles Johnson at Little Green Footballs has more on the shady side of the Vlaams Belang and their worship or tolerance of nazism. Man, I am so NOT liking this political movement! Pure disgust. Charles also has links to a couple of past entries on the subject. It's a shame that mainstream politicians in Belgium, Britain and Sweden are leaving the field and the problems with Islamic extremism

Britney Spears cup-of-woes hath spilled over. But, the gritty Brit star is taking it all with a smile.It all began a few days back, when she rammed into a stationary car. To make things worse, she was driving without a valid driving license. She had to fork out $500 as out-of-court settlement of that headache.She did not mind shelling out the paltry sum of cash, but what will she do about her looking like a fish! I am not kidding. She now has a not very pretty pout that would be any trout’s envy.But, how did she end up with the “fishy” appearance?The thing is she wanted to look prettier; so she decided to take lip injections to enhance the appeal of her lips. She kept it all very hush-hush. A furtive visit to a Hollywood plastic surgeon and some pin-pricks ensued.But she got more than she had wanted. The lips filled out a bit too much and now she is the centre of attention of all fish lovers.There was some good news for her too last week. The court chose to overlook her sin of no

Of all the materials you wouldn’t want to put against your body, fish skin has got to be pretty high on the list. But now Thai entrepreneurs have developed a way of processing skins of tropical fish to make them into durable leather. And certainly the most eye-catching, and stomach turning, item they have developed is the fish-skin bikini. However perhaps it’s not so bad, the model who was wearing the item, Sudara Sae-lin said, “It’s comfortable. The bikini can really breath and I like that it’s waterproof, it means it can dry more easily.” Despite the obvious environmental benefits I really don’t think many girls or guys would find the sight or feel of a bikini made of old dead fish skin that sexy. While the effort must be applauded I think we’ll be forgiven for preferring our fish nicely cooked with a drizzle of lemon and a glass of white wine.

Barefoot Contessa with Ina GartenGood CatchParker's Fish and ChipsTartar SauceChopped PicklesSummer Fruit CrostataTo get the recipes: Click hereI finally caught up with The Barefoot Contessa from last weekend. TR* has invited Ina for dinner on his dock. He'll be catching the fish and she'll be cooking it. Why does this plan sound a little iffy? Maybe because TR has NEVER fished before. But, never mind, Ina gets to work on the dessert, an open fruit tart, which they'll have fish or no fish.She combines the ingredients for the crust in the food processor. First the flour, salt and sugar get pulsed. Then she adds the butter and pulses it until it's "the size of small peas." She adds 3 oz. of ICE water with the machine running. She pulses it until it just becomes a ball. She presses it into a disc and cuts it in half. One half she's going to freeze for later. The other half gets refrigerated for 30 minutes. I like to work with my dough immediately. I hate having to fight with it when

The Rod Originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl We, Stan, Stacia and I, went out Salmon fishing today. We found our spot, sunk our anchor, dropped our line, and waited. We spent a few hours out there, and at the end of the day we left without a fish. But really, who cares. We had a great time. Nothing like being on the water, chatting, enjoying an AM snack, chugging down some home made hot cocoa, and just watching the birds catch fish, and Ted go by. Yes, we saw Ted and Cindy as they left on their big adventure out to sea and warmer waters south. It was great to see them heading out. As for us… we may try again. And those fish… well…. they had best be ready! AM snack anyone?

An animal entering our house would be wise to bring an updated will and phone numbers for next-of-kin. We’ve boxed and buried guinea pigs, flushed fish, and had hermit crabs wander away in the middle of an electrifying race, never to be seen again.  Back in June we managed to kill a crawfish and Speedy the goldfish on consecutive days.  The very first post I wrote was about the death of a different goldfish named Speedy and his enemy, Brownie. Right now we have three pets, though that number could change at any moment.  Elvis, the dog from Hell, has managed to stick around for a couple of years now, mainly through sheer cussedness.  Drew’s parakeet, Texas Ranger, requires little care.  He’s extremely shy and has yet to utter a word, which is a great disappointment to Drew and quite a relief to me. Finally, there is the fish who swims in his bowl by the coffee maker, looking at us with baleful eyes, knowing his days are numbered.  He can feel his impending demise

For those people that have signed up for bux.to, they have been paying me, but lately something is fishy about it.

Catherine Zeta-Jones is "obsessed" with smoked salmon sandwiches and crushed potato chips. The 'Traffic' actress, who is widely acknowledged as one of Hollywood's most beautiful stars, admits she can't resist snacking on the tasty treat. Catherine said: "This sounds so crazy but I'm obsessed with smoked salmon sandwiches on ground bread with potato chips in the middle, crushed down. "I had it with each of my pregnancies and I actually had it two nights ago for dinner. It's one of those comfort foods." The stunning brunette, who stars as a top chef in new movie 'No Reservations', often rewards herself with her favourite sandwich after a gruelling workout. She said: "Exercise keeps my brain sane and gives me energy, but I have to admit I'm not a fitness fanatic. "I'm not going to lie and tell you I do have a regime. I've got to drag myself to the gym like everybody else, but when I finish it I do enjoy it. I can eat more smoked salmon sandwiches with potato chips, crushe

Since they opened the Underwater World all those years ago, I've never been there. In fact I haven't been to Sentosa in more than a decade. So when my first aunt asked if I wanted to go, I said YES and we did the touristy thing!We started the day early, which is a good thing because we got lost. We took the wrong tram and ended up at a beach on the other side of the island. At least, we had a chance to see the different beaches there. That way, I know which beaches to go to if I happen to convince my friends to come to Sentosa for the day. It was a very refreshing change for me as the air smelled like the sea and flowers, so different from the air in the city. Anyway, we finally arrived at the place and there was already a crowd. I was excited that there was a rock pool at the entrance where we could touch the exhibit. However, I was somewhat disgusted with the way the shark felt; leathery and slimy yet kind of cool. The other cool thing they had at the entrance was the interactive

Keith ErvinSeattle Times staff reporterScott Fischbach had just raised the U.S. flag at the Point Robinson Lighthouse on Maury Island when he heard a splash. Turning toward the water, he saw a startling sight: a young black bear in the water, heading straight from the eastern point of the island out into Puget Sound. For days, the bear had been the talk of Vashon and Maury islands, as people caught occasional glimpses of the furry beast and grown-ups warned children not to wander into the woods. Now, the bear is the talk of Des Moines and Kent, where it has been wandering since its two-mile swim across Puget Sound shipping lanes Friday morning. Not long after the bear made landfall just north of Saltwater State Park, Des Moines police received a rash of phone calls from residents nervous at the sight of a bear strolling across streets and lawns. "It didn't seem to be aggressive or anything — just wandered around," said Police Sgt. Bob Collins. State Fish and Wildlife officers

The Bat continues the narrative of our trip.The south coast of Jindo was beautiful, but we hadn’t prepared adequately and could find no accommodation that evening i.e. there were no obvious hotel or minbak signs. It was a great disappointment but we had no choice but to head for the largest centre of population at the heart of the island. Population was exactly what we wanted to avoid, but that’ll teach us!Waking up after our first night on Jindo (in Jindo Town), it was warm and culture was in the air. We headed off from our motel and soon found the Sojeon Art Gallery. This is a modern building in the traditional style, which houses calligraphy and ink drawings by local people. Complex Chinese characters offer huge scope for artistic expression and seem to be represented far more often than Korean or Japanese script. Scrolls of calligraphy are commonly displayed in N Asian galleries.S Korea seems to have an excess of culture centres; these monolithic structures occur in quite

It amazed my neighbour Aimee that I’d never been to the Fish Markets. It’s right underneath the ANZAC Bridge (and today is actually ANZAC Day) and it’s freakin’ massive. It’s fair intense too. To get a meal, you have to do a lot of pushing and shoving and when you finally get to where you want to be, it’s a screaming match to get your order in. Well worth it though; it was damn good seafood. And I’m not really a seafood-y person. To top off the day, we all joined in in waxing Matt’s chest. The nipples were by far the highlight of the ordeal. It’s bizarre - I always thought the blood coming to the surface was a myth… It’s not.

It was at least two or three years ago, maybe a little longer, when I heard an ad on our local Christian radio station that caught me off guard. It was one of the DJ’s from “The Fish”, pumping some type of magical weight loss elixir like Body Solutions or Corti-Slim. She talked about how just a spoonful-a-day had caused her to lose some amount of weight, and now her life was all better. It struck me funny, because I guess I would expect more from a semi-prominent Christian than a pitch of a better life through better looks. I’m not opposed to health or weight loss, but it was just cheeseball and had very little to do with Christian contentment. In truth, it sounded a lot more like the lies that satan feeds so many of us every day. You of course can imagine the good laugh I had about six months later, when the Food and Drug Administration announced that that product had absolutely no weight loss qualities. In other words, it was bogus. While I was saddened that a

Hmm …. what’s this? Just fish for dinner? Where’s the rice? Where’s my porridge? Daddy said it was delicious. OK then. I’ll give it a go. Mmmm …. interesting taste! But what’s that on TV? I think I’ll get Daddy to feed me so that I can concentrate on this programme. Perhaps I’m concentrating too much on TV. I can’t seem to finish the fish. You want my fish, Mummy?

Guest post from Peace Tree contributing author, American Socialist. Something Fishy Going On...Saddam's trial seemed like it would never end. Gas prices seemed like they would never go down. Bush was saying that he was keeping our country safe. Why is all of this changing around the midterm election?Doesn't anyone else find it a bit odd that Saddam's trial has been going on for over a year (it began in October of 2005) and they have never been able to reach a decision until now, right before midterm elections? Today, Saddam Hussein has been sentenced to death. Of course, this would give the Republicans an extra boost in the polls. Putting two and two together, one could determine that someone may have been paid off to finally have a decision made in the Saddam trial, an effort to get more votes for the GOP.But the dishonesty doesn't stop there. Think of how high the gas prices have been. Have you noticed they have been working their way down these last few months leading up to

Given that the Presidential Propaganda Catapult is jetting about America slinging rocks and stones at wide swaths of Democrats in only republican red-style states in front of vetted audiences, this one reporter has a very good question: Q What’s the President’s relevance right now? He’s going to Republican states, all 10 states that he carried. So he’s got a pretty narrow mission here, doesn’t he, in the final days? SENIOR ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL: Well, we’re focusing his energy on places where he can best turn out the vote for Republican candidates. These are all races that are close. These are all races that are likely going to come down to turnout. And so that’s the nature of all these visits. Any guesses as to who the “SENIOR ADMINSTRATION OFFICIAL” is? Uncle Karl is my bet. I suppose they don’t want you to know what wicked people ride with the president aboard Air Force One. Usually the Whitehouse lists who the offi

Remember how George Bush won’t answer questions about how he’ll work with a Democratically controlled Congress because he ‘doesn’t think that’ll happen.’ Bush has claimed that Republicans will continue to control Congress after the elections, despite polling and what he called conventional wisdom showing a GOP loss in at least one house of Congress. I remarked earlier in a comment here that the only way Bush could be so confident would be if he was either seriously deluded or knew something we don’t know. Like the fact that most electronic voting systems are neither secure or verifiable, making it all too easy to swing ‘official’ tallies one way or the other. Meaning, Bush isn’t worried because the GOP is all ready to bring home another victory, one way or another. Today, Brad Blog brings us another piece in the growing pile of pieces that show just how easy it is to hack electronic voting systems. This time it is the Sequo

As Zanna has mentioned, I am back to construction for the winter. We are building a huge house for some trust-funder punk from scratch, and today we were clearing trees on a sidehill, in an early season blizzard. The picture is my boss trying to show off in his truck, and planting it firmly between 2 trees.The crew and I said fuck it, we'll dig it out tomorrow; then went to the bar. Chainsawing in a snowstorm sucks. Sometimes you just gotta quit early.Anyhoo, you know how after drinking all day sometimes a story comes out that you may regret later? Our laborer, Chucky Chez Ezz, told just such a story moments ago. I hauled ass to borrow some wi-fi, while the story is fresh. Last winter, Chucky was working at Flap-Ass Mountain Ski Resort and Bass Fishery, when in walked a woman he h

AstrologickWeekly Forecast ReportOctober 13-19, 2006By Gary Paul Glynn Fishy Business Despite daily headlines raising alarms over real and imaginary threats, this coming week appears to be the proverbial calm before the storm. Paging through my notes, we're entering into the last full week of astrological calm that we're likely to see until December. With Sun,Venus and Mars moving toward the end of Libra, this is also a good time to solidify partnerships and to make peace before these three planets plunge into the dark waters of Scorpio next week. A standout alignment this weekend involves Mercury square Neptune -often the sign of a forked tongue. Deceptions, confusions, misinformation, disappearances, tamperings, straw men, shell games and red herrings. With Mercury also in Scorpio, there is a higher probability of conspiracies and manipulations as well. More innocently, Mercury-Neptune can often coincide with confusion, misunderstandings, blind faith, oversights and omission

{mosgoogle right}YUASA, Wakayama -- Some local residents have received an apology after their water supply was accidentally linked to a pond and a small fish called a loach poured out of a faucet used for drinking water, local officials said.Pipes supposed to carry water to a newly built residential district in Yuasa were mistakenly connected to a local pond where water is stored for fire-fighting
