Gluten Free Chickpea Burgers, Photo by Kate Chan
The beauty of maternity leave, as I am discovering, is being able to spend time with my girls as our own pace. On the weekends, rather than running every errand imaginable, we can have little adventures with the girls as a family. (Although, I do reserve plenty of errand running to be down with My Love's help as an active toddler and a newborn can make "quick trips" into afternoon outings.)
This weekend, we were lucky enough to meet with a family who is also in the adoption process – waiting for their child to be ready to travel. We drove up to Seattle to a public park where we visited as best anyone can with a toddler itching to ride down the slide MORE MORE MORE or swing MORE MORE MORE. Poor little thing thought that the random soccer balls or bicycles were part of the "community playground" as well as she was quite disappointed to learn that they weren't. Her disappointment was brief, however. As soon as she had turned her head away from the longed-for-object, she spotted yet another delight that made her squeal and off she went with one of us close on her heels. (And yes, the Peanut/baby was with us… just snuggled up and completely asleep. She's very accommodating like that. My life is going to be much more challenging as soon as the little one is mobile, that's for sure!)
We decided to continue our adventure and bring Z on her first ferry ride, too. She was delighted to have Daddy "drive the car on the boat, Momma!" (repeat statement 1,000 times for full toddler-loving-joy effect). Even more exciting to her was learning that we could all get out of the car and go upstairs for the brief ride across to the island. Oh, she was in heaven. And I was trying to balance a camera along with a loosely wrapped baby in order to get some pictures to document her joy. Only…. the Chicklet didn't want to do anything but rush to the side to see the water and life passing by.
(And no, he isn't scowling. Between the wind and the Chicklet leaning, I think he thought she might just go over. LOL)
We were lucky enough to head over to The Hardware Store where Daniel Ahern (aka "The Chef" of "Gluten Free Girl and the Chef") works. I knew he would be cooking that night so the chances of my getting a delectable gluten free meal were spot-on. And I was SO RIGHT. The food was great! I dreamt of that fabulous gluten-free buckle all the way home and wondered why I hadn't bothered to just buy some more for the drive home! OMG. SO freakin' delicious. (Even better, Shauna has the recipe on her blog. So now I can make it any time I want and not have to pay the ferry fee! Who knew! I always thought a "buckle" was something related to Texas and belts! LOL)
Another thing I didn't know (among many), is that we would also be lucky enough to have Shauna (Gluten Free Girl) and her little Lu join us as well. It was great as I hadn't really planned anything, but as soon as I knew we were heading to Vashon Island, I might as well try to see if she was available to meet up. LUCKY US! And really – lucky Zoe!
Zoe and Lucy are a few months apart in age. It was fun to watch the girls twirling about and toasting each other with apple slices. (Seriously, each spontaneously hold up their apple slice and tapping the other's while saying "Cheers" quietly. I hope I remember that cuteness for quite a long time!) Zoe apparently has a little Mother Hen in her (I am avoiding the control freaky term I really want to use). When Lucy will skidoodle off to greet and play with a restaurant patron or employee that she knew (obviously, Dad works there…), Zoe would rush to her and say "Lucy-ah! Oh, no!" and then put her arm around her to herd her back toward her Momma. (Ay ay ay…) But hang on, it gets even more 2-year-old. Lucy is getting her molars (poor babe), so just as Zoe did, she is eating ice. Unlike Zoe, however, Lucy can reach in to a water glass to get her ice cubes without having a conniption that her hands or clothing are wet…. requiring (in Z's mind) a wardrobe change. Since Zoe loathes wet clothing, we just instilled the rule "No hands" if it was going to lead to a mess. So as soon as Z saw Little Lu reaching in for her ice cubes, the tattle-tale came out full force "Oh, oh, oh! No hands, Lucy-ah! No hands". She was fixated. And we talked briefly about different strokes/rules for different folks. Thankfully, the apple slices appeared then and the two-year-olds did their thing: off dancing and twirling and saying cheers…. and dreaming of Buzz and Elmo. Cuties. I hope they can play together again some day. It was hard for Zoe to leave her new found friend.
Shauna and I got a chance to talk about food. We both thought about the good things that our kiddos are eating. And how they eat things just because we do. I know this is true from a cultural standpoint as well. Zoe will eat things that I never even knew existed when I was growing up: tofu? chicken feet? sushi? roe? Yeah… these items were not on your standard Minnesota menu in the 1970s, that's for sure. I actually think that learning about food because of my diagnosis in 2000, made me more aware of the huge variety of foods. Living in a city (Chicago) made access to all of those things SO much easier too. It was an easier transition from gluten to gluten-free than it could have been considering in 2000 there were not the plethora of blogs or internet resources that exist today… let alone the variety of foods in the grocery stores that are clearly targeting the gluten-free group.
More importantly, I was able to put those middle school cooking classes to work for more than just soups and cookies. I could easily follow instructions to make new things and I wasn't afraid to try something different (although it did take me another year or two before I would try to recreate any of my childhood favorites). Mostly, I wanted to keep learning about fresh food and keep trying new things to eat healthier. Now that there are kids in the house, this is more important than ever.
It blows my mind when I learned via Jamie Oliver/Food Revolution that this generation of Americans has a lower life-expectancy than do we due to their poor health. And poor nutrition is certainly a major contributor to that. And while my Love and I are not the fit-King/Queen that we want to be, we have vowed to work to get there for our kids and to continue to eat whole, healthy foods as a family.
It's not gourmet. It's natural, whole foods. And cheaper too.
On the ride home, I was thinking about the different things we had discussed and laughed about together. Mostly, I was thinking about her upcoming book tour (NY in just a few days, people! Go see her!) as well. I was wishing that more people could meet her and see that she really knows how to grab the bull by the horns well, okay…. I think she could probably grab a little lower… and call it like she sees it. The food that is in her latest book Gluten-Free Girl and the Chef is GORGEOUS and will make you do two things (1) go buy a kitchen scale, if you haven't done so already) and (2) make you dream of licking the photos like I was doing the first night I got the book home. When you read it, you will see that she isn't cooking to be pretentious. She is cooking what they love. What they "play with". What makes them "dance" in the kitchen. She writes short vignettes of life that make reading the book a delight. (Especially for those of us with little ones around!) I can't wait to cook my way through the recipes…let alone read the snippets too.
Making it for yourself.
Today, I was craving buckle (again) but the Chicklet asked for Chickpea burgers for lunch. It surprised me a bit because she really likes these when I make them with mung beans or black beans. I thought about her request in relation to Jamie Oliver and Shauna. How many other kids are asking their parents to make bean burgers for lunch? I know quite a few, actually. And I'm hoping with books like Shauna's, programs like his, and efforts like all of us gluten-free folks to make whole, natural foods for our families is taking hold. Maybe we can reverse that prediction for our kids. Now wouldn't that be worth it? (PS. Shauna! Good luck with the book!)
Try it. Try out these easy-to-adapt bean burgers. In lieu of chickpeas, use black beans or pinto beans or mung beans (cooked, of course). Use the flavors and seasonings/herbs that make your tongue and tummy happy. You can't go wrong.
Gluten Free Chickpea Burgers
Makes 4 large burgers or 16 "sliders"
1 can (16 ounces) chickpeas (or other bean) (if not using canned, than 16 ounces cooked beans), drained/rinsed
1 cup leftover or cooked brown rice
1 egg
1/2 cup grated (or shredded, if you prefer) carrot
1/2 cup finely diced apple
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
2 Tablespoons dried minced onion
1 Tablespoon cumin
1/2 Tablespoon (1 1/2 teaspoons) chili powder
1/3 cup roughly chopped cilantro (or basil or dill or other fresh herb)
3 green onions, chopped
1 Tablespoon sesame oil
salt/pepper for seasoning
- In a small processor (or with a fork), mash the chickpeas into a medium bowl. (I prefer to use a mini-food processor when using chickpeas)
- Add the remaining ingredients and mix very well.
- Form into 4 large patties or sixteen small patties. Set aside. (Some people cover and refrigerate their patties for 1 – 2 hours at this stage to help them stick together and bind better. I don't mind if my burgers aren't completely patty-set when I cook/eat them, so I skip this step for convenience too.)
- There are two ways to prepare the burgers: with or without oil for frying. Either way, heat your pan up over medium-heat for a couple minutes. If using oil, add a swirl of olive oil (not the sesame oil – that should be in the bean burger mixture) to the pan. When the oil (or just the pan, if not using oil) is hot, add the patty (or patties). Cook on each side 3 – 4 minutes or until browned. Flip gently with a spatula.
- Serve with gluten free buns or lavash bread or without. Serve with tomatoes, lettuce, spinach, feta cheese, tomato relish, salsa, greek yogurt, cucumber raita or tzatziki or whatever you enjoy. (Z always votes for barbeque sauce!)

Tap, tap, tap… Testing, testing, one, two, three… is this blog on?
Hello, Green Day Mind readers!
It's been a "long time no see" situation here on the little old blog called Green Day Mind. You may or may not be following me on my very active Twitter account (and thanks if you are!) but frankly, the blog has gone stone cold silent since December. I can hear the sound of tumbleweeds across these here pixels, for sure. I mean, what was there to talk about? Has anything happened in Green Day land in the last few months? Hmmm… oh yea… this epic trilogy thing called "Uno!" "Dos!!" "Tre!!!" coming out from Green Day beginning this September 2012 and continuing to January 2013. I guess there is something solid to start talking about! I mean, I'll leave all of the important stuff to the Green Day Authority and GreenDay.com. This little blog here is a specialty site, mostly posting about Green Day, but also branching out to other bands as well.
Now that there's solid albums coming out (dates are set, the tracklist for the first album released, and some summer/fall tour dates happening in Europe and at least one here in the United States), we have the date of July 16th to look forward to when the first song from "Uno!" entitled "Oh Love" will be released upon the public! Oh yes! Can't wait!
I've read that a theme runs through the three albums, primarily the before, during, and after of a big party or celebration, and the emotional highs and lows that come from celebrating just a bit too much. You can read the most recent Rolling Stone interview on the trilogy at Green Day Authority here.
Green Day has put out multiple 30-second videos while they've been in the studio, including the little gem for "Tre!" below. This clip is my favorite for two reasons: I'm very much looking forward to some drumming action from Tre Cool first of all. I have no idea how the writing credits "drum out" in the trilogy, but I suspect that this album will let us really get a taste for Tre's wide range of drumming skills. I read awhile ago that he had been in Cuba taking lessons and sitting in on drumming sessions with Cuban masters and I'm looking forward to hearing what he's learned. Plus, I just miss his wacky face.
The second reason is a little more personal… There's a super quick segment in the video from Green Day's Halloween show at Webster Hall Studio that me and one of my favorite super people, David Burgos, are in that includes another super guy, Michael Esper from "American Idiot on Broadway." In the segment, Esper crowd surfs over both of us, and there's an awesome shot of David surfing like the pro he's becoming, too.
Green Day teaser for "TRE!!!"
I know, though, that's not why you'll enjoy this clip so much!
Stay tuned for more on Green Day as well as a few other things in the works. I will be at the first CBGBs Festival beginning this week (July 5-8) and will post on the Music and Film Conferences there and some music that I'll see. In addition, I will finish my post on the KERPUNK Festival from January 2012 (yea, it's a little late), and will also introduce you to a band I met along the way called Mad Anthony from Cincinnati, talk about my love for The Dopamines, and tell you all about Larry Livermore's "The Thing That Ate Larry Livermore" shows at the Knitting Room in Brooklyn last week.
Until then, thanks for sticking around!

Bachna Ae Haseeno – Movie Review
Bachna ae haseeno (Beware pretty girls!) from Yash Raj Films is a romance, but the kind of romance that I have not seen in Hindi cinema before. There are three leading ladies which our hero Raj (Ranbir Kapoor) meets at different points in his life – from the age of 18 to the age of 30, and that's about all I am going to reveal about the story. That's not the only reason I liked the movie though. I liked it because Raj has shades and shades of gray and there is actually a story to the film. But be prepared, Raj's character is just about the only realism you can expect from the film. Not that it took away any of my enjoyment…the dramatic presentation of various events in the movie was the method that the director (Siddharth Anand) used to tell his very sweet, though unbelievable story. Luckily for me, I don't see such films for my daily dose of reality.
The locale
The film was shot in Europe and Australia and the viewer is treated to some exotic locales. Frankly that's getting boring. I mean, who wants to see the Swiss Alps in Hindi movies again and again and again! Sometimes I wonder if the actors and crew go abroad because they want a foreign holiday or because they want the film to appeal to the NRI market…it certainly isn't necessary for the story. And I am sure NRI's would love to see India more than anything else.
The story (no spoilers)
An apology is important. All of us have been hurt by someone or the other at some point in our lives and all of us have hurt others, knowingly or unknowingly. And it's not just romantic relationships that I am talking about here. And we have all longed for a way to mend the relationship…but having the understanding to realise where one went wrong or summoning up the courage to apologise is not common. In fact the deeper the hurt caused, the greater the reluctance the apologise. What we often don't realise is that unless a genuine apology is given (which can only come with true repentance) the relationship cannot mend. I thought the director tackled this issue sensitively, bringing out the dilemma of the characters – whether to apologize and/or whether to forgive and the consequences of it.
The characters and the actors
Mahi (Minissha Lamba) is a romantic and quite besotted with the film Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge (DDLJ) and so it's not really surprising that she meets our Raj (Ranbir Kapoor). Raj, who has stars in his eyes and love in his heart. Raj, who loves to love girls…but wait a minute, this story is not a bit like DDLJ, which is another Yash Chopra flick. And that's because our Raj is not the perfect hero. What, a smart and good-looking guy who is willing to take off his shirt at any given moment and is the best beau any girl could have – considerate, chivalrous, charming and persistent – is not a nice guy? The script-writer has got it all wrong, surely there must be something good in him…but well, that is what the movie is about…us trying to discover the decent Raj. Not just us, it's a process of discovery for Raj too. Thankfully the director didn't try to pass off Raj's flaws as virtues and nor does he try to whitewash them…
Out of the three women in the movie I liked Bipasha Basu (she plays the role of Radhika) the best. I am not sure whether she got the most screen time, but it seemed as if she did. She dominates the movie. She is right for her role too, the role of a glamorous model. She looks gorgeous and though her beauty does not eclipse that of Deepika's beauty (who plays Gayatri), her performance does. I am not saying that Deepika didn't act well. She has an expressive face and I think she has a lot of potential. However, I felt she wasn't quite suited for the role. In this movie her character (Gayatri) is tough and independent, but she comes across as just the opposite. She had all the right scenes, but she still comes across as fragile. Minissha Lamba (Mahi) acted well too. Another good performance was that of Kunal Kapoor. He comes in only at the end but delivers a hard hitting performance. As for Ranbir…well he has those chocolate boy looks but I thought his acting was average.
In Conclusion
I think this is a nice movie, all about young people and about love but it isn't another Jaane Tu. The story is far more complicated than that…actually Jaane Tu didn't really have a strong story line (although it is a better quality movie). This does, even if it's one that raises eyebrows. It's a sweet heart-warming tale, a bit slow in parts, funny in parts, and with average music. I enjoyed it. Not great cinema and not for everyone but I hope you can figure out from the review whether you'll like it.

BAH is a lovely film! Its not a comedy, more a sensitive story with funny moments. Its true strength are in its performances as each character is so true to their basic nature. Cinematography is excellent….certainly worth the watch! ! !
I agree that it's not a comedy and I liked the story too. – Nita.

I always read your movie review blogs on Saturday following release of the movie the previous day.
I happpened to see B..A..Ha.. first day first show and realised that this is the first time ever I have done that. 🙂
A uncomplicated movie with some good songs, stunning locales and the works. All in all time well spent as I went in with no expectations.
Thanks Mavin, I do try but often i tend to see the movies on sunday and at times not at all! but yeah, I try to see the important movies. I feel pretty bad if I miss a movie. – Nita.
August 17, 2008 6:49 am
Oh God, now I get the gravity of your statement which you made maybe a year ago which said 'I like watching movies'… खरंच् तु काहीपण बघते, or almost something like that 🙂 Do you get itchy if you miss a movie release?
tempted to reply in marathi but don't have the script installed! But yeah. 😦 and what's worse is that I cannot sit in front of the tv and watch the same movie! – Nita.
Ravi permalinkAugust 20, 2008 1:21 am
How is the music and cinematography? I dont like still photography at least not in movies. Is it a 3 hr movie? please lemme know then only I can decide on watching this movie.
Ravi, cinematography is good (of foreign locales) and the movie is about 3 hours. Music is below average (according to me) except for one, the title song. – Nita.
Aaradhana permalinkAugust 20, 2008 8:56 am
this movie was sooo cliche..doesn't compare to jaane tu in any way….bipasha is the saving grace of the film…
August 22, 2008 12:56 am
I dont Raj character was new it was taken from DDLJ and Salam Namastey in first half and in second half it was SRK of yesterday trying to charm everybody.
I think Yash Raj will do themselves good by making less movie otherwise they are losing there name.
Bipasha is saving grace of the movie.
September 1, 2008 9:43 am
i saw the movie very recently, movie was fine, and was very funny at times..excellent entertainment, but i didn't like Ranvir Kapoor, he was just ok..i was more disappointed because he is son of a wonderful actor like Rishi kapoor
actually I was disappointed with Ranvir too…he is not as good as rishi kapoor was in his first few films. – nita.

Happy 1st Blogiversary Western District Families. I thought we would never make it, but 84 posts and 12 months later, here we are.
What a fun year it has been. It really was worth procrastinating about whether to blog or not to blog. Over time I have made some great online friends, met some previously unknown family members, and found out so much more about my Western District family. Western District Families even got a Google+ page!
I hope some of you have also found out something about your Western District family, where they lived, and the things they did through posts such as In the News and the Pioneer Christmas series. Maybe you have found an obituary of an ancestor at Passing of the Pioneers.
I have found that the act of writing out my family history has been so useful for my research. It has helped me sort out what information I have but more importantly, what I don't have. Also, lining up the lives and events of siblings, in the case of the Harmans for example, has given me a better understanding of the dynamics of the family (can you tell I was a Social Sciences student?).
So what have been the most popular of the past 84 posts?
1. The Fastest Ship in the World
2. A Tragic Night – January 24, 1882
3. Histories of South-West Towns
4. Witness for the Prosecution
Which posts have been my favourite to share? Well it was hard to narrow them down to just five but here they are:
4. From Stone Country to High Country
5. A Tragic Night – January 24, 1882
An Honourable Mention must go to What the Dickens? and the follow-up post Another 'What the Dickens" Moment. They were both interesting and fun to write.
Over the past year, I have had made contact with Gamble and Jelly cousins and members of the Condon, Adams, and Oakley families.
I also heard from Rosemary of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Her great grandparents were married in the original St Stephens Church in Portland.
Plenty is planned for the next 12 months. I thought I would run out of things to write about. Instead, I am finding it difficult to keep up with all the subject ideas I have. There will be more Passing of the Pioneers and later in the year, I will look at Christmas in the early part of the 20th century. Of course, I will have more stories about my family. I've barely touched on some of the stories I had planned when I started the blog as I keep finding more great stories in the meantime.
A big thank you must go to my fellow Australian geneabloggers. Your support and encouragement have been fantastic and you have all inspired me to keep going. What I have learnt from each of you has been invaluable. It was great to meet some of you at the Unlock the Past Victorian Expo at Geelong last year. Also to the 29 followers of Western District Families, thank you for following and for your great comments.
I must also make a special mention of my maternal grandmother, Linda Gamble (nee Hadden). Nana did not get to see my blog. She passed away six days before I published my first post. It was Nana that got me to this point. Her love of the past and her family inspired me almost 20 years ago to start researching our family tree simply to find out more about them for her. What a wonderful family she gave me.

This is a description of my workflow and costings for producing Fedora discs for the Freemedia project. Your mileage may of course vary. You may have less resources both financial or time, but the principles remain the same. All production is accomplished while running Fedora, Fedora 12 in my case.
DVD burner, blank DVDs, disc printer, disc sleeves, disc mailers, Fedora.
Download the Fedora Images
There are various ways to obtain Fedora by downloading. http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora is the first and easiest way, but this method relies on the fedora servers.
I prefer to use a mirror that is closer to my location. To find a mirror, I go to http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/ and select a mirror from there. (I use HEAnet in Ireland) Rather than tie up my browser during the download, I use wget from a command line. I cd to the desired download location then run :
wget -b http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/fedora/linux/releases/13/Fedora/i386/iso/Fedora-13-i386-DVD.iso
I also make sure I download the CHECKSUM file for each version.
wget http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/fedora/linux/releases/13/Fedora/i386/iso/Fedora-13-i386-CHECKSUM
Check the downloads for integrity using sha256sum
Once the files are downloaded, I open a terminal and cd to the download location. Then I run the sha256sum utility against the downloaded image(s) :
sha256sum -c *-CHECKSUM
This gives output similar to the following :
[smoker@xeon Fedora-13-i386-DVD]$ sha256sum -c *-CHECKSUM Fedora-13-i386-DVD.iso: OK sha256sum: Fedora-13-i386-disc1.iso: No such file or directory Fedora-13-i386-disc1.iso: FAILED open or read sha256sum: Fedora-13-i386-disc2.iso: No such file or directory Fedora-13-i386-disc2.iso: FAILED open or read sha256sum: Fedora-13-i386-disc3.iso: No such file or directory Fedora-13-i386-disc3.iso: FAILED open or read sha256sum: Fedora-13-i386-disc4.iso: No such file or directory Fedora-13-i386-disc4.iso: FAILED open or read sha256sum: Fedora-13-i386-disc5.iso: No such file or directory Fedora-13-i386-disc5.iso: FAILED open or read sha256sum: Fedora-13-i386-netinst.iso: No such file or directory Fedora-13-i386-netinst.iso: FAILED open or read sha256sum: WARNING: 6 of 7 listed files could not be read
The warnings can safely be ignored as this directory only contains the DVD.iso and that reported as OK.
Burning the iso image to disc
I use the standard burning utility provided with Fedora, Brasero. I insert a blank dvd to the drive and wait a few seconds while it is recognised. A "Blank DVD-ROM Disc" icon will appear on the Desktop when the disc is ready for burning. Click on this icon to open the burn:/// directory.
Once the iso is in place, just click the "Write to Disc" button at top right of the CD/DVD Creator (burn:///) window.
You will immediately be asked whether to burn the iso as a file, or to burn the contents.
After clicking "Burn Contents" the Image Burning Setup dialogue is accessible.
I find the defaults are fine, but you may wish to change the burn speed. To do this, click the Properties button and select your required speed from the drop down list. I always burn at a slower speed than the disc is advertised as supporting. So for a 16x disc I will burn at 12x. I get less failures this way.
Now just click Burn and Brasero will get on with the job.
Once the job is finished, you get the option to burn another disc or close the program. You will also get a Desktop icon for the disc you just burned.
Verifying the burn integrity (mediacheck)
I always like to verify the burned discs before sending them out, as it would be quite a disappointment to receive a non-functioning disc after waiting weeks for it. To begin with, I used to burn a batch of discs, say 10, then reboot with one in the DVD drive and run the install program as far as the second screen, where you may test the disc before installation. This MediaCheck is the final way of checking the discs other than actually installing, and if the disc passes, it is fit for distribution. You can test multiple discs using this method, there is no need to reboot for each disc. Simply remove the final disc when done, and Ctrl+Alt+Del to reboot the computer.
However, there are serious drawbacks to this method. Not least is the fact that you can't use the computer for anything else while the disc checks are carried out. Also, if there have been any errors in burning, you won't find them until 10 discs have been wasted. After some research I have discovered that the MediaCheck utility is available from the Fedora repos, and can be run from a terminal. To check whether the utility is on your system run
yum install isomd5sum
If it is already installed yum will tell you.
To run the check, you must
su – to root, as a normal user does not have privileges to access the DVD device directly.
The terminal command to run is
checkisomd5 --verbose /dev/sr0
where /dev/sr0 is your DVD device designation. --verbose will show a progress meter as the task is run. I also like to time how long the job takes, and pin the task to a single or several CPUs. This is accomplished using the following command line
\time -f %E taskset -c 4,6 checkisomd5 --verbose /dev/sr0
\time -f %E
is the job timer part of the command and produces a simple HH:MM:SS result defined by the format (-f) %E
taskset -c 4,6
pins the job to CPU cores 4 and 6 on the second CPU of my dual quad core Xeon.
I have found that it takes approximately 4 minutes to run each check. You should end up with output similar to this :
[root@xeon ~]# \time -f %E taskset -c 4,6 checkisomd5 --verbose /dev/sr0 /dev/sr0: f310d06caa94332915f670aa7dffb3a7 Fragment sums: ca78f1c736792f8cd38c9aa9d4334c52ace6565532d837683be671b7bfd1 Fragment count: 20 Checking: 100.0% The media check is complete, the result is: PASS. It is OK to use this media. 4:04.52
The last line is the output of the \time command, so the job took 4 minutes 4.5 seconds to complete.
I use disk1 as the alias because I have two DVD drives on the system. disk2 is aliased to /dev/sr1
I have found it is not practical to burn on one drive and check a separate disc on the other drive, as the IDE channel is saturated and everything takes much, much longer. This may be down to my hardware setup, so I will try using separate IDE ports and cables for each drive to try and improve the situation. It is possible to check 2 discs at the same time and it takes the same amount of time to complete, just over 4 minutes. Of course I have pinned the second job to different cores on the CPU (5,7).
Printing the disc
The advantage of not having to reboot for the disc checks means that while I am checking one disc, I can be printing a previously verified disc. I use the GIMP for this purpose.
Using one of the disc label images available here , I open the image in the GIMP, then use the Gutenprint plugin to print to the disc. I have an Epson R200 printer which is fully supported by Gutenprint. The actual print once the initial setup is complete takes about 45 seconds. This is mainly due to the disc tray loading time. It is wise to use the "Save and Print" option in Gutenprint to retain your settings permanently. Unfortunately, you can only have one set of saved settings, so it is also wise to document your disc printing parameters separately.
I have documented the procedure for creating an image and setting up the print and Gutenprint plugin here
Mailing the disc
When I mail the discs I use cardboard mailers and also a plastic sleeve. These items are widely available and pretty cheap to buy. I get 100 sleeves for around £2 for a unit cost of 2 pence each. The cardboard mailers cost me around £2.90 for 50 mailers, which is a unit cost of 6 pence each.
The cost of postage varies from location to location so I cannot define your costs here, except to say that a single disc in a sleeve and mailer weighs less than 40g and can be airmailed from the UK to Europe for around 88 pence. I can send by airmail to India for £1.46.
I don't use overland post for overseas destinations as the next version of Fedora will probably be released before the person gets their disc !
I have now started adding labels to my disc mailers, which include a fedora logo, my name and address, and my fedora email address. This adds to the capital cost (see costs section). 0.02 on to ink and 0.03 for the labels. An extra 5 pence per disc in total (estimated).
Editable GIMP image template here. This image is suited to a label of dimension 100mm x 30mm, Avery label code L7172. Available in Open Office as a template.
Unit Costs
This put my total current per unit costs (in UK £) at
|Blank Disc
|Plastic sleeve
|Printer Ink
|Cardboard mailer
|Mailer label
|Materials Total
|Postage (Europe / Worldwide)
|0.88 / 1.46
|Total Costs (Europe / Worldwide)
|1.36 / 1.94
I regard the costs of electricity, broadband and time as being outside the scope of this document. I use relatively expensive discs, as lesser brands seem to fail too regularly (10 out of 50 recently). The disks I now use are Taiyo Yuden 16x full face printable DVD-R.
Printer ink may be a concern to some, but as the label images I use require minimal ink and I can get compatible Epson cartridges for £4.64 for a complete 6 cartridge set, I don't see it as a major cost. I get probably 200 discs printed from one set of cartridges, which puts the cost at 2 pence per disc. I allow the same for the mailer label.
When all settings have been made and saved, and everything is set up, each disc will take around 10 minutes from burning to printing.
With the ability to burn and check simultaneously I hope to reduce this time by half. By using two drives while checking, I can currently complete 2 discs in 14 minutes.
It is possible to fulfil the Freemedia Groups minimum requirements of 2 discs per month, in less than 15 minutes and for less than the cost of a beer !

Dell has unveiled a wireless dock that can handle speeds of up to 4.6Gbps, allowing wireless connections from a laptop to USB storage devices and one or two monitors.
This is the first usable product based on WiGig (wireless gigabit, aka 802.11ad), which uses the 60GHz band to allow short-range transmissions far more powerful than standard Wi-Fi on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. As we noted last month in our overview of WiGig, the Dell Lattitude 6430u Ultrabook was the first product to include a WiGig chip, but it had no other WiGig products to connect to. Dell filled that gap this week with the Dell Wireless Dock D5000. The dock is tri-band, meaning it supports 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 60GHz transmissions.
"Designed for use in offices, meeting rooms and classrooms, the Dell Wireless Dock offers quick and easy connectivity to displays, projectors, networks, speakers and other peripherals for unparalleled connectivity and convenience," Dell's announcement said. "The new dock supports up to two external displays with both DisplayPort and HDMI, features ample peripheral connectivity via three USB 3.0 ports and facilitates easy collaboration with a front Audio In/Out port for voice over IP at speeds of up to 4.6 gigabits per second. The Dell Wireless Dock can also be easily managed connect with the updated Dell Connection Manager that now supports both WiGig and Wireless LAN settings."
The Ultrabook and dock include a chip from WiGig silicon vendor Wilocity and Qualcomm Atheros. WiGig is based on the new Wi-Fi standard 802.11ad, which theoretically allows speeds of up to 7Gbps, perfect for large file transfers and video streaming. At the Consumer Electronics Show last month, Wilocity demonstrated WiGig-enabled laptops and tablets powering HD monitors, and ultra fast file transfers between computers and WiGig-enabled docks and routers.
Dell sells the Wireless Dock by itself for $270, or for $187 when added to a purchase of a Dell Latitude 6430u. Adding the dock may delay ship times.
While WiGig is limited today to this one laptop/dock pair, those pushing WiGig believe it will expand over the course of this year and especially in 2014. The Wi-Fi Alliance group is expected to begin certifying 802.11ad products at the end of 2013, providing greater assurance that products from different vendors will be able to work together. Wilocity is soon coming out with a second generation of its chip that will be able to power wireless routers.
60GHz transmissions are easily blocked by walls, but the future routers should be able to support traditional Wi-Fi standards to let devices fall back to the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands when people roam around their homes or offices. Wilocity's second-generation chip will also support 802.11ac on the 5GHz band, which is pretty fast itself.

Before and After: Dining Rooms
Before: Hidden charm
You'd never know this is a 125-year-old waterside home. The next slide reveals the hidden charm.
After: Hidden charm
After stripping the carpeting and paint off pine floors, homeowners installed era-friendly baseboards, window and door casings, and crown molding. White paint on woodwork means it stands out against the soothing green walls. Fabric and furniture add subtle elegance.
Before: Cozy center
The warmth of traditional style was lost in this dining room. Click ahead to see the changes.
After: Cozy center
Furnished with family heirlooms, the dining room is now a clubby, cozy spot. Rich wood, wallpaper, fabrics and paint get brightened with a little white paint on woodwork and the crystal lighting.
Before: Cottage charm
This 1875 cottage pales in comparison to one with charm of its era. Click ahead to see its renewed look.
After: Cottage charm
A 19th-century pine breakfront and custom trestle table add a touch of formal elegance and warmth. The moss-green wainscoting matches cabinets in an adjacent kitchen.
Before: Nothing standard
The standard-issue chair rail and brass chandelier can't stand up to floral wallpaper trying for cottage charm. Click ahead to see how the owners injected style.
After: Nothing standard
There is nothing standard about the combination now. Blue-painted walls, an oil-rubbed light fixture, shutters and a fun mix of furniture create style fitting for a 1912 cottage.
Before: Twice as nice
Sunshine, but little else, warms this bungalow's dining area. Click ahead to see how a makeover doubled its impact.
After: Twice as nice
Floor-to-ceiling shelves filled with books now line the dining room so it doubles as a den. A couch and reading chair make it just as easy to enjoy a book as a meal at the dining table. The books, pillows, masks and other accessories stand out against the white of the walls and shelves in this bungalow.
Before: Bright and airy
White is bright but cold before this room was remodeled. Click ahead to see how it got warmed up.
After: Bright and airy
Colorful art and fabrics punch up this white dining room, keeping it bright while injecting personality. A sisal rug tops wood flooring that echoes the tones in the traditional furniture. Sweetheart fabric on seats adds a little kick to that furniture though! A graceful glass chandelier crowns the look.
Before: Respecting the past
Dark and dingy transforms into sunny and classy in this rehab. Click ahead to see.
After: Respecting the past
A pair of antique doors from a flea market in France flank the entrance to the revived dining room. Like architectural art, they hint at the more subtle architectural updates, such as the substantial clean-lined plaster moldings replacing cheap wood trim and wainscoting. Subdued color keeps the space peaceful.
Before: Overdue updates
This Edwardian home hadn't been updated for three or four decades. The next slide shows the updates.
After: Overdue updates
Chairs in comfort-extending upholstery surround a vintage-style wood table. Neutral yet textural grass cloth on the wall complements a group of drawings, which seem to reference the squares of the patchwork-look rug.

My name is Doug Olson
I'm from Nebraska
Western Nebraska
And, uh, my mother has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer
So, we, uh, middle of November, now this is first of, first of the year, eh, but in the middle of November her weight, she was losing weight, you know
She was suffering from indigestion and, and stomach pain, and so we started to have her checked, uh, for problems with her stomach for ulcers and that kind of thing, and all that proved negative, and they put her on an ulcer medicine anyway, thinking that maybe that would solve the inflammation in her stomach, and, uh, then we decided that we (?) better see another physician, and so we did that, and they then ultra sounded and then CAT scanned and found that she had tumors in her pancreas and in her liver
Uh, many years ago, back in, in the late 70's, my parents had been involved with, with the cancer, uh, subject in regards to my father's sister, and then his cousin
He started researching cancer and cancer treatments when his sister passed away, and then, uh, they got in contact with a doctor in Orden, Nebraska, that treated cancer patients with Laetrile, and he also did other, not so ordinary things
He did duculation therapy
Uh, a number of things that were really treatments for the disease rather than just treatments for the symptoms, and, uh, during that time, dad testified at the state legislature; they were trying to work against Dr. Miller's license
This was the Dr. Miller in Orden, and, uh, so dad testified on, on his behalf
Uh, dad's cousin was, uh, a patient of his, and she had a brain tumor the size of a lemon, and Dr. Miller put her on, uh, Laetrile treatments on a, on a special diet and some things, uh
And this was what, in the 70's ?
This was back in the, probably the late 70's, and, so, when they
Well they cured her
She had been sent home from the Mayo Clinic
Given 3 to 6 months to live, and, uh, they had, uh, burned with radiation and cobalt I believe is what they were treating her with at that time
Uh, they burned the, uh, nerves in her eyes so that her eyes crossed
Uh, they sent her home to die
They, uh
She was in a wheelchair
She was a young woman and she had a young child
Wasn't able to hold that child, and so when my dad saw her, met her, she was in that condition
She was it, in the last 6 months of her life
Gave her a book about, uh, the subject, and told her about Dr. Miller, and her family
She then went to Dr. Miller to see if there was any help for her, and he, and he immediately put her on Laetrile treatment then and, and, uh, the interesting thing about it, looking at his doctor's protocol; because I've come across his protocol, uh, Dr. Miller was also giving his patients antineoplastons, and
Yeah, because we've got this thing here that you gave me
Just explain to me what this is
This was his physician's protocol, to list, uh, the different medicines a person should, should be on
If they had cancer
Uh, if they had cancer, and so, uh, this was given to another friend of ours, a friend of the family, uh, the folks that rented one of our properties, uh, the woman got a, a tumor as well, and this was given to her as part of the regimen she should follow, and she was given Laetrile injections, and then as soon as the injections, uh, were over they went then to pills as the size of the dosage went down, and when you got to pills you got to go home
So, uh, I remember speaking to her at the time
I had a
I was in high school, and I had a summer job with her husband, who was the county engineer
So, uh, we saw them all the time, and she told us, uh, the circumstances when, when she was allowed to come home
She was feeling strong
She said: "I haven't felt better"
As a part of the diet and the things that, that they had her doing
She said she felt better than she had in many years
So she and her daughter, started a business in town in order to pay for the treatments, and, uh, she recovered
The tumor continued to shrink and shrink until it was nothing
Uh, what had been listed as inoperable, uh, after it shrunk halfway they decided, well maybe we can operate on you
Uh, we think it's operable now
She said: "Why would I let you operate when what I'm doing is working" ?
But, uh, she is alive yet today and in her mid-80's and, uh, so, uh, when it came to my mother's illness, we contacted her, and asked her how she's doing, and she's sent this protocol she's been keeping all these years
Uh, as a result of my parents knowing Dr. Miller back when he was alive
He is, he has passed away, uh, 7 maybe years ago, and, uh, many years ago when they were taking chelation therapy from him, he had given my mother, uh, a flyer on Dr. Burzynski, and, uh, said if anything ever happens to you after I'm gone, this is the man to contact, and so we've had that flyer in a file for many years at my parents house, and so when mom got sick she immediately began digging that out and found
So your mom immediately started thinking, well I need to find that leaflet
That's what we were told to do
And did, and did she go and speak to an oncologist ?
Did she say that she wanted to come here, or ?
We had a local physician, who was not an oncologist, that had, that was the 2nd physician we, we consulted, that did the ultrasound and the CAT scan for her and, and they knew that she had tumors, and no we did not go to an on, oncologist from there
Why ?
because we knew that we did not want to take their treatments, uh, so we immediately contacted the clinic here in, in Houston, Texas, and, uh, we had to wait on, uh, certain things to be completed
CAT scans
Different things had to be done, and, and information had to be sent down here and examined, and then, uh, after a period of maybe 2 weeks, hassling with information, we were told that, yes, uh, we, they would accept her as a patient, and we were getting in towards the holidays at that time
Would we like to wait until the holidays were over, because Christmas
You know, there would be 5 days off for Christmas, uh, over a weekend and 5 days off for New Years over a weekend, and we would be down here in Houston over those times, but we elected to come anyway because we could get the treatment started right away
rather than to wait another month before starting treatments, and, uh, so they, uh, immediately put, put her on antineoplastons and, uh, they sent away the tissue samples to Arizona to have a CARIS test done, and determine what medications would be
So did you have those results come back ?
Yes, those results came back quicker than what we expected
And wh, what did they show ?
Well they, they show a, a list of treatments that are effective, and against it, and then a list of treatments actually that encourage it's growth
So you end up with a list of, uh, approximately 7 on each side
7 good
7 bad
And these are all different cancer drugs
So what they're looking at is all
is all the different cancer drugs, and which ones
And whether we've got a, a thousand or 2 thousand different drugs that person might try, and, uh, so
So the (?) for how to, to try a few of these chemotherapies, but in very small doses
Is that right ?
There's 2, 2 chemotherapies
One is an, is an oral chemotherapy that is, uh, quite mild in its side effects, and then, uh, there's another much stronger one that was, uh, also one of th, the top 2, and, uh, the side effects for it are more varied and more violent, uh, if you will, and, uh, my mother's had one treatment of that so far, and the treat, the side effects
She did, is suffering from side effects from that particular
It's Oxaliplatin, and, uh, some people have very violent side effects but she's thankfully not had any violent side effects
So why didn't you go down the conventional road of having high-dose chemotherapy ?
Well, when you research the, uh, success rate, with pancreatic cancer, going the normal way, uh, or the normal, uh, road, the success rate is very, very small, and so you're just guaranteeing, in my opinion, if, if the success rate is 5% or under, uh, you're introducing yourself to a, a road to death, that's very unpleasant
You know, you just want to go home and make yourself very comfortable on painkillers and, and enjoy the rest of your life, uh, if that's the, if that's the road you're planning to take
Uh, that was our opinion, and so
What do you think about all the resistance then of, of Dr. Burzynski and all of the kind of, uh, ?
We have
(?) people just calling him a
What's the word ?
Yes, we, uh, we have seen course, of course these things through our, our life
Dr. Miller
The whole Laetrile treatment thing was something that was, uh, thrown out
You know, it's pretty well suppressed now
You can go to Mexico and get those treatments
Why do you think they were, pushed aside ?
This Laetrile
What is Laetrile ?
Well Laetrile is a naturally occurring, uh, substance that you find in some of our foods
It's, they call it B17 although, vitamin B17, although there's some discussion as to whether it's really a vitamin
Another name for it is Amygdalin
Uh, it's found in peach pits and apricot pits in high levels but there's a number of other foods that you find it in
Uh, it, it,
I'm not sure, whether this is 100% accurate, but my understanding of it is it's associated with, with cyanide, and it would be, uh, like an encapsulated cyanide, that as it travels through your body, the cyanide portion, um, does not become available to your body until it becomes in, uh, associated with a cancer cell
and the cancer cells attack the outer shell of that molecule, and the cyanide becomes, uh, uh, available then, and it kills the cancer cell that's right there
So it was apparently a very nontoxic substance
Uh, you have regulated dosages
I mean, it seems to me interesting, uh, when a doctor prescribes a dose of chemotherapy, uh, there's nothing that I can think of much more toxic than a, than a chemotherapy drug, and certainly they'll kill you if they don't, uh, give you the right dosage, but it was not seemed, deemed accessible that a byproduct of food; which a doctor could regulate the dosage of as well, could be used as a transfer, cancer treatment
Uh, and we've seen things in the past, as well
When I was a, a very young child, I had a great aunt, that, uh, I was not even aware; at the time I was very young, she was traveling to Texas and getting treatments
Uh, one of them was called the Hoxsey treatment and, uh, she was living a very comfortable life on treatments that she got there
There were 2 treatments in Texas at that time, that, uh, were available
The FDA would come in and raid the clinics, and make just life miserable for them
They got one of them closed down, and that was the one that my great aunt was on, and that treatment was, was pills that she could take, uh, and live quite comfortably, in Nebraska
Once they closed that clinic down, then she had to go down, uh, to the other clinic in Texas, which was a supplement that was a liquid that tasted bad, and she had to make frequent trips, at that point, but still, as long as she could get that treatment she was comfortable and, and lived a normal life
A productive life
Uh, we knew her as our great aunt and, and didn't even know her, uh, uh, that there was a health problem and, uh, but then the FDA got that clinic closed down
So, as soon as she lost access to those, her treatments, then her cancer which, uh, was no longer able to be controlled, came back strong and, and she died
So, uh, the family had been, had access to this knowledge and this, the FDA's games with cancer treatments for many years
Um, I'm also married to, a, a gal whose father did blood research as a, he was a Ph.D and worked in university hospitals, in blood research all of his life
He, he discovered a blood protein that was associated with cancer
Uh, it was actually associated more with good health, maybe than you could say with cancer, but he discovered a, a blood coagulation protein, uh, or associated with blood coagulation that would, that could be used as a flag or a test, to see whether a person was healthy or not
Uh, as they applied it to patients in these hospitals, during their research trials, they found that this protein was an indicator whether a person had cancer or thrombosis
Uh, 2 of the very largest killers, and this protein, if present in high enough amounts in our blood, uh, was an indicator that you were healthy, and as the protein's amount, uh, declined, then it was an indicator that something was wrong, and below a certain amount you knew something was wrong
You better be taking further testing
to find out what your problem was
Uh, that has run into resistance
Uh, that (?) has not been approved by the FDA, and, uh, th, our family's experiences with cancer treatments, cancer drugs, as they're affected by the FDA, we have determined by our opinion that, uh, it's, un, unless there's something that's going to generate a, a lot of capital, and then a lot of tax money for the Federal Government, the FDA's not very interested in it
Uh, so, cynical attitude, but evidence bears it out
and so we remain cynical until so, until something proves
Yeah, absolutely
So this is this doctor in, uh, in the 70's
This is information that he provided
and you can see here that he is obviously, antineoplastic enzymes
See, here obviously
Do you think he meant Dr. Burzynski ?
He just knew of him ?
You have no idea ?
I have no idea
He was obviously a fan, if he was someone that eventually said
He said it to you
Did you say he said it to your mum or to your dad?
To my mom
Probably to mom and dad
Uh, my mom was the record keeper, and so, she kept the flyer
but they both took, uh, the, uh, the therapy from, uh, well, the blood therapy
I mentioned it earlier
Suddenly the name's gone away
but, uh
That's ok
So what about, um
You know, one of the barriers that we had is, when we spoke to oncologists, they just said, no, you mustn't come to see this guy
His work isn't peer-reviewed
He's a charlatan
Why, why do you think they would say that ?
I mean I'm surprised, that these oncologists don't actually come here, to actually see what, what's going on
So your opinion about that ?
My opinion is, that physicians are, very much, tied up, with large pharmaceutical corporations
Uh, I spoke with my father-in-law
My father-in-law had to have research done in, in his Ph.D work, and he had to get cooperation from hospitals, from doctors, and, uh, all of these organizations in order to have the research done that he needed done, 'cause past his lab, when he wants to introduce research, onto a patients, uh, live blood, and he needs to collect specimens from patients, then a whole 'nother group of, uh, set of authorizations have to be signed and, and he being a Ph.D working with the medical profession all his life, he knew how tied up the medical profession is, by, generally by M.D.'s, that control the money flow, uh, in the medical profession
Ph.D's do the research, but they have to apply for grants, and typically the grants are controlled by M.D.'s, and so if an M.D. Decides that your, your particular research is either applicable to, uh, something they think will make a lot of money, or it's the, the quote, uh, popular, popular item of the day
Politically correct, you name it, then you're going to get funded
Otherwise, uh, my father-in-law noticed at different times, his research had to be funded out of his own pocket, and at other times, it looked like, it was something that doctors would like, and so they would, he would get funding, but I think that, ah, as he commented, any doctor, coming out of med school, has been contacted by a pharmaceutical company, and has probably signed a contract, that when that pharmaceutical company wants to test a drug, or test an item, that that medical, uh, doctor, will be accessible to them, to test their products
So, with the number of pharmaceutical companies that you have, and all of them recruiting M.D.'s as they come out of med school, and saying, you know, would you be part of our group, you end up under contract with the large pharmaceutical companies
and if, if 90% of the doctors are under contract with pharmaceutical companies, to, uh, to cooperate with their drug testing, then large Pharma, has control of virtually all doctors, and so, uh, uh, if you have large Pharma saying, we don't want to see a cancer cure, that we're not in control of, we don't want to see something that makes curing disease cheap, and easy, and food related, then you're not gonna
They're going to put the word out to all their doctors: Don't have any wo, don't have anything to do with this
Uh, they can come up with, some written material for their, their doctors to read
They send them the evidence
It may be accurate
It may not be very accurate, and, uh, but it's just a smear campaign to destroy reputations so that they don't get hurt financially
and, uh, so, uh, that's the reason I believe
You know, most of these doctors, they don't have the time, or the expertise to do the research themselves
They can't read everything, and so when someone they trust, or someone that they're financially, uh, obligated to, comes down and says: Here's the stand that we want you to take, and it's against this particular treatment, or against this doctor, they do what they're told
They do what they know best
Uh, my father-in-law, for instance, was, uh, also involved as a professor in these med centers
He taught nutrition, and he said it's always a, been amazing to me that you can get through med school, and never take a class on, on nutrition
So you can become an M.D., and not understand the value, of nutrition, to a person's health
That's a problem
Uh, he recognized it as a problem
I recognize it as a problem because I particularly believe that most of our ill health is because how we treat our bodies
What we eat
Whether we exercise or don't
Whether we provide our body with a way to flush the poisons or not
Uh, healthy living, and if you don't teach our medical profession, healthy living, how can they teach their patients
So this, this whole system is, is just flawed in some ways, and weak in other ways, and, uh, controlled, for the purposes of commerce, instead of the public
So you, you think it's a good idea treating people as an individual and finding out what they need as opposed to like carpet bombing them ?
When we understood the, the individualized approach, here at the Burzynski Clinic, that they would take where they would test the cancer cells, uh, against all of these treatments and all of these chemotherapy treatments and, and anything else that might be out there that would, would treat cancer, and come back with a, a individualized care approach to the individualized cells of cancer that my mother has, that's when we knew that we had to come here
We wondered, and I've told my friends, and everybody wonders, that oughta be the standard approach everywhere
Why wouldn't you test, every cancer, and see what it is that's gonna treat it best ?
You, you tell me

[WP:SOP] "Statement of principles from Wikipedia founder Jimbo Wales, as updated by the community since then. 7.")
Due & undue weight: [3]
"The relative prominence of each viewpoint among Wikipedia editors or the general public is not relevant & should not be considered,"
[WP:NPOV] "History of NPOV:" (Content # 6, Note 3)
(Neutral Point of View)
TRANSLATION: Wikipedia editors, YOUR OPINION IS NOT RELEVANT
MEANING: It is meaningless to attempt to slather your biased OPINION all over Wikipedia like butter on Texas toast, since supposedly, we only care about verifiable FACTS
Wikipedia, what the problem is ?
Jimmy Donal Wales
Who ?
No, "The Who" is actually really British !
(as opposed to some "furreigner" who plops across the pond, wants to pound one of your pelts after a celebrity hunt, pops it in his bonnet, pip-pips about, and mounts it up on his rented wall along with what's left of his balls)
I'm writing, of course, about "Jimbo," the one who got away . . . Thankfully
The recipient of the write-up earlier this year in The New York Times [1] (Oh, pithy !!)
Wales, who no longer runs the day-to-day operations of Wikipedia
"He applies his libertarian worldview to the Internet and has taken on institutions like the United States government"
You must be bloody well right joking me
(joking me ? Quit jokin' me !)
JimCrow's 'bout as "libertarian" as Fidel Castro with a gun in his hand and (f)lies between his teeth; from traveling with the windows down
Stephen Colbert shoulda seen that comin' from a 8 mile away
Hey Stephen, Report' THAT !!!
"He grew up in Huntsville, Ala., the son of a teacher and a retail man"
And obviously, he didn't "learnt" well
I think a refund's in order
And here's your free school Insolence to go with it
Happy eat in'
It is claimed that "HE" spends time:
"traveling the world giving talks on free speech and Internet freedom"
seriously ?
Seriously ??
Welcome to MizFitTV
What would "Jymboree" know about "free speech" and "Internet freedom," anyway ?
How many days did you serve your country in the United States military ?
Oh, you did NOT realize that while you were in San Diego, you could have signed that contract ?
After all, he's no Vincent Kennedy McMahon"
("HE" knows where "HIS" GRAPEFRUITS are)
"B.D.F.L., or the Benevolent Dictator for Life"
How 'bout:
Loser ?
"Argumentum ad Jimbonem" means dutifully following what Wales says, but there are even arguments about that"
WP:NICETRY, but that's "SHEEPLE"
"One Wikipedia editor said, for instance, that Wales was no longer comfortable with the B.D.F.L. description"
Jiminy Cricket !
Whazzamatta Jiminy?
Did "FASCIST" hit a bit too close to home ?
"(There is, among some, a debate over what to call him)"
"Some users have also disputed the Latinized version of "Jimbo.""
"(Should it be "Jimboni" or "Jimbini"?)"
Can you smell what "The Rock" is cookin' ?
La-La-La-La-Laaaaaaawwww, JIMBRONI !!!!!!!
Get ready, and bend over, 'cause I'm gonna shine this thing up, turn it sideways, and shove it straight up your Candy AstroTurf hatch
Introduction (statement of principles) [WP:SOP]
"This is a statement of principles from Wikipedia founder Jimbo Wales, as updated by the community since then"
(Or if you go by The New York Times article, [1] Jimbroni is the "co-founder" who tries to re-write history to make it appear that "HE" is the one-and-only Fascist Founder ?)
"I should point out that these are my principles, such that I am the final judge of them"
"This does not mean that I will not listen to you, but it does mean that at some ultimate, fundamental level, this is how Wikipedia will be run"
No, actually, it DOES mean that he will NOT listen to you, as was the case when he ignored my 2/7/2013 appeal
In his defense, perhaps Kate Garvey has his balls
1. "Wikipedia's success to date is entirely a function of our open community"
"This community will continue to live and breathe and grow only so long as those of us who participate in it continue to Do The Right Thing"
"Doing The Right Thing takes many forms, but perhaps most central is the preservation of our shared vision for the neutral point of view policy and for a culture of thoughtful, diplomatic honesty"
The problem with this Wacky Tobacky "We are the (Wiki) World" WikiWhOReD Wonderland Jimbroni's living in, is that "HE" has NOT been Doing The Right Thing since "HE" abdicated "his" "neutral point of view policy" and "culture of thoughtful, diplomatic honesty," to "The Skeptics"
"The Skeptics," who serve as gatekeepers of the Burzynski Clinic article, and who cite Dr. David H. Gorski a/k/a "Orac" aka GorskGeek as if he were a "reliable source"
"The Skeptics," who bring new meaning to the term "Wikipedia Zero"
"The Skeptics," who are Intellectual Cowards like their false god Gorski, the Closet Communist of Science-Based Medicine a/k/a Science-Basted Medicine aka Science-Based Mudicine (Spinning Bowel Movement), Wiki Wordsmith Wannabes, nut-jobbers, stale from their failure at the National Peanut Festival in Dothan, Alabama
3. ""You can edit this page right now" is a core guiding check on everything that we do"
"We must respect this principle as sacred"
Do the lies just dribble off your chin like phlegm?
You canNOT just go in and "edit" the Burzynski Clinic article "page right now"
That statement is pure, unadulterated Alabama B.S.
That's NOT a "sacred principle," it's sacré "bull"
7. "Anyone with a complaint should be treated with the utmost respect and dignity"
Unfortunately, you do NOT practice what you preach, do you, HYPOCRITE ?
"They should be encouraged constantly to present their problems in a constructive way"
So that you can ignore the problem(s), right, Jimbroni ?
"Anyone who just complains without foundation, refusing to join the discussion, should simply be rejected and ignored"
THAT would automatically exclude all of "The Skeptics" now, wouldn't it ?
"We must not let the "squeaky wheel" be greased just for being a jerk"
Jimbroni, why have you allowed "The Skeptics" to choose from their "squeaky" wheel-house bag o' tricks, get all "greased" up and jerk" so many people around in such a big CIRCLE-JERK, for so long?
8. "Diplomacy consists of combining honesty and politeness"
"Both are objectively valuable moral principles"
"Be honest with me, but don't be mean to me"
"Don't misrepresent my views for your own political ends, and I'll treat you the same way"
"Honesty" and "politeness" are really great "buzzwords," Jimbroni, but they are as foreign to your "Skeptics," as "moral principles"
A great example of the questionable "honesty" and "moral principles" of one of your apparatchiks, was demonstrated 2/3/2013, 6:56, when I sent an arbitration appeal e-mail to Wikipedia, advising, in part, that the e-mail listed on Wikipedia; as the one that blocked users should use, did NOT work, because there was NO "@" sign in it
There was a . (period) where the "@" sign belonged
2/3/2013, 8:11 AM, Anthony (AGK) BASC
email@example.com advised:
"Everything you have said in that e-mail demonstrates a misunderstanding or misreading of Wikipedia policy"
Check the "time" and "place" where you are, so that you, too, can advise, that according to Wikipedia, pointing out to them that the e-mail they advise people to use, DOES NOT WORK; because there is no "@" sign in it (instead, there's a . (period)), translates into meaning:
"Everything you have said in that e-mail demonstrates a misunderstanding or misreading of Wikipedia policy"
Core principles
Wikipedia:Simplified ruleset [WP:SR]
Wikipedia does not have its own views, or determine what is "correct"
I wish I could LIE like that, but I have a conscience
12/24/2012, Monday – 3:52 pm – 21:52 (UTC) –
"We are told that 2013 will be a big year, but apparently his plan is to release another bullshit movie not to publish useful research"
[User Talk:JzG|Guy] ([User JzG/help|Help!]) [2]
"Bullshit movie" ?
Does anyone other than me NOT think it a "coinkydink" that some "Guy" on Wikipedia, going by the name "Guy", using the same 2 words ("Bullshit movie") as a "Guy" on Twitter ?
2. Founding principles:
"Neutrality is mandatory . . . "
I call B.S.
"Neutrality is mandatory," EXCEPT on the Burzynski Clinic article, controlled by "The Skeptics"
4. "Ignore all rules (IAR):"
"Rules on Wikipedia are not fixed in stone"
Especially when Jimbroni allows "The Skeptics"
to "dictator" the "rules"
"The spirit of the rule trumps the letter of the rule"
"The common purpose of building an encyclopedia trumps both"
"This means that any rule can be broken for a very good reason, if it ultimately helps to improve the encyclopedia"
And "The Skeptics" are NOT required to provide ANY reason for having broken "any rule"
"It doesn't mean that anything can be done just by claiming IAR, or that discussion is not necessary to explain one's decision"
But do NOT expect Wikipedia to require anything from The Skeptics"
Founding principles
1. "Neutral point of view (NPOV) as a mandatory editorial principle"
EXCEPT when it comes to the Burzynski Clinic article
12/26/2012 – I attempted to get Wikipedia to reference the interview which Burzynski's attorney, Richard (Rick) A. Jaffe, and Lola Quinlan's attorney; who posted it on his web-site, had given: [4]
Please add re WP:NPOV that Burzynski's attorney, Richard Jaffe has disputed Lola Quinlan's claims:
"On February 1, 2012, Dr. Burzynski's attorney, Richard Jaffe, disputed Lola Quinlan's allegations on Houston's KPRC News."
Thank you very much.[[User: Didymus Judas Thomas 15:03, 12/26/2012 (UTC)
So? [OR] Disputing it in the media probably means he doesn't have a case. [/OR] In any case, a lawyer disputing the allegations against his client is not even news. — [[User: Arthur Rubin 15:24, 12/26/2012 (UTC)
Arthur Rubin, I'm not sure what relevance your above post has re WP:NPOV since the article includes statements from attorneys representing both sides
17:51, 12/27/2012 (UTC) Didymus Judas Thomas
12/24/2012, Monday – 3:54 pm (21:54.UTC) – "What they mean is that nobody else is doing any meaningful work on it, which necessarily means that it's not considered in the least promising."
[[User Talk:JzG|Guy]] ([User JzG/help|Help!])
"Nobody else is doing meaningful work on it" ?
Ignores independent research done in Poland, Russia, Korea, Egypt, Japan, & China which specifically reference SRB's publications in their publications re antineoplastons & phenylacetylglutamine (PG); which is AS2-5, & includes phase III trials published in China & continued research being published in China 12/17/2012?
1. I pointed out to Wikipedia, a 12/17/2012 scientific publication re antineoplastons, which referenced Burzynski @ 22. (antineoplaston AS21)
2. 7 days after this scientific journal was published, Wikipedia'a "Guy (Help!'s) "response, Monday, 12/24/2012 @ 3:54 pm, is to advise me:
"What they mean is that nobody else is doing any meaningful work on it, which necessarily means that it's not considered in the least promising."
Guy (Help!) 3:54 pm, 12/24/2012, Monday
3. So, Wikipedia's, Guy (Help!), defines an event having been published 7 days ago (12/17/2012 to 12/24/2012) as:
"…nobody else is doing any meaningful work on it…"
CDA-2 (cell differentiation agent 2), a URINARY preparation
CDA-2 and its main component PHENYLACETYLGLUTAMINE (PG or PAG)
Antineoplaston AS2-5 is PHENYLACETYLGLUTAMINE (PAG or PG)
Antineoplaston AS2-1 is a 4:1 mixture of phenylacetic acid (PA) and PHENYLACETYLGLUTAMINE (PAG or PG)
Antineoplastons AS2-5 and AS2-1 are derived from Antineoplaston A10
BURZYNSKI Reference: 22.
antineoplaston AS21
12/26/2012, Wednesday – 12:43 – "There is unlikely to be any dispassionate debate over ANPs while Burzynski continues with his unethical practices."
JzG|Guy User:JzG/help|Help!
Wikipedia: Judge, Jury, Executioner
"The world, right now, considers Burzynski to be at best unethical and at worst a quack…"?
Since when did Wikipedia conduct a world-wide "opinion poll" re Burzynski ?
And if Wikipedia is correct, how did this happen ?

What a Wipocrite (Wiki + Hypocrite)
Steve Pereira (SilkTork) is such a "WIPOCRITE," that he claims:
"the community were united that your contributions were biased"
He conveniently; like a good little mini-Jimbroni would, ignores ALL of his fellow WIPOCRITES comments, which completely ignored:
([WP:SOP] "Statement of principles from Wikipedia founder Jimbo Wales, as updated by the community since then. 7.")
Due & undue weight: [3]
"The relative prominence of each viewpoint among Wikipedia editors or the general public is not relevant & should not be considered,"

4. 12/30/2012 8:58 "The world, right now, considers Burzynski to be at best unethical and at worst a quack…"?
Am I NOT the only one convinced that "the community" was also "united" in something more than just their "goose-stepping ?
Pereira, the imperfect 'pedia Pimp tries to Wow his readers by waxing WikiWhOReD, by ignoring that ALL the previous BIASED opinion B.S. that his fellow-Facist forged ahead with, and which Wikipediantic history says means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING (say it again) because it is their BIASED OPINION and is ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS, and it was as so much WikiLitter, well, he's just facist-free speechless about that, as any Jimbroni AstroTurf Twerk should be
To show exactly what zealots these WikiPimps are, just absorb this exchange:
"The Burzynski Clinic Article has:
"…a Mayo Clinic study found no benefit…."
But that was not what the study concluded
See below:
Although we could not confirm any tumor regression in patients in this study, the small sample size precludes definitive conclusions about treatment efficacy."
In the interest of Neutrality, please remove the reference to Mayo entirely or change to;
"…a Mayo Clinic study found that "the small sample size precludes definitive conclusions about treatment efficacy."
Thank you very much

I feel that the average reader reading this will read it as meaning a study was done & completed with the necessary # of people for an effective study, when that was not the conclusion as pointed out in my above post
Thank you very much."

That's right !
"NO RESPONSE" from the "mini-b" (a/k/a "mini-brain"), wannabe Fascists who are so zealous about using their alleged "Fair and Pithy" "found no benefit" WikiWhOReD; which they utilize in an effort to deceive those who are NOT smarter than a fifth-grader
These WikiPimps are so certain of the righteousness of their evangelical cause, that they do NOT even have the "GRAPEFRUITS" to use what the study's conclusions actually said, and let the chips fall where they may
There are a lot of "chips" falling at Wikipedia
JIMBRONI, you're no Maggie Thatcher

These mini-b's went so far as to allege all sorts of sockpuppetry
Wikipediantic, why don't you list all the dates and times I was supposedly doing all of these activities; and don't forget to include all the time I spent blogging, on Twitter, making comments on articles, etc., and once you have all that data compiled, explain how one individual could do all that in a 24-hour day
That's right Wikipediantic
I'm challenging you to put up or shut up your cornholio
