What our customers say
- Fertility:C.B.
"My husband and I came to Jana after 18 months of trying to conceive and after 2 miscarriages. I was at my wits end. I was so emotionally drained from the different drugs and procedures. Each month riding what felt like a roller coaster of hope, excitement, disappointment and despair. It was really hard not to be completely obsessed with it all. Charting, temping, ovulation tests, IUIs, follow up blood work...it was all so exhausting! Jana helped balance that. Although she was treating me for fertility, she was focused on helping balance me so that when I did get pregnant again, I could sustain it. When I felt anxious, she helped calm me, when I was feeling hopeless and low, she helped pick me up. My husband has never been a huge believer in eastern medicine, but after he saw how much Jana helped me, he quickly climbed aboard. When I would have a rough day, or a disappointing day in my cycle, his first words would be, "Can you go see Jana?" I saw Jana for 7 months, and when I finally got that wonderful positive pregnancy test, I felt more assured that my body was in a good place to support a pregnancy. Although I was working with a reproductive endocrinologist, I believe Jana is the reason I am holding this pregnancy. All of my doctors were so focused on just getting me pregnant, but Jana was focused on helping me stay that way. Thank you Jana from the bottom of my heart for all you have done for me and our growing family!"
- Acupuncture:Kristy L.
"My son has been suffering from severe eczema since he was 6 months old. We've tried the dermatologists, steroids, lots of creams and we were getting ready to try the shots when we found Jana. She encouraged us to wait to see how his skin changed with the allergy elimination treatments. After a series of treatments we are pleased to say his skin is completely clear and healthy! Plus Jana is WONDERFUL with kids and our son still asks to go see her!"
- Fertility:Adrienne and Dave F.
"My husband and I had been trying to get pregnant for 8 months when our doctor recommended acupuncture. Jana told us it would be 3-6 months of weekly treatments, but it happened in 5 weeks! So far I feel great and we can't wait to welcome this baby into our family."
- Acupuncture:Sue Penland
"Jana is a truly intuitive healer. She has helped me improve many of my health issues. She is an exceptionally skilled and knowledgeable acupuncturist. Jana is committed to my health and well-being in that she tailors each session specifically to meet my needs as well as continuing to treat ongoing health problems. I appreciate her dedication to improving my health, as well as her nurturing manner. I would highly recommend Jana to anyone."
- Pain Management:Jason B.
"I originally went to see Jana for Bursitis in my hip, a condition that had been giving me pain for almost a year. She not only treated it (successfully), but she taught me things to do at home so I could get even faster results. During the treatments I was surprised that I also started sleeping better and had more energy. I wasn't a believer in acupuncture when I started, but now that is my first stop for everything!"
- Fertility:M.C & S.T
"Jana, if it had not been for you and your superb acupuncture therapy and your caring, accepting nature, Meghan and I would not have had such a magnificent experience conceiving, growing, and delivering this breathtaking baby girl! You were there to help get Meghan ready to conceive- getting her ready to create a life! You helped us get past the days of sadness for the lost first attempt, to the exuberance of a positive pregnancy test from the doctors office. You got us through the morning sickness and days upon days of saltines, pretzels and water to days of hunger that could not be satiated fast enough, resulting in the treks across Thornton hunting the best Chile Rellenos, or Mickey D's for Dr. Pepper and French Fries. You eased Meghan's mind from too many nights of dreaming dreams that belong to someone else, and heartburn that could make the devil scream in pain. You released stress and opened arteries for feet that no longer resembled thee feet of a human. Then there is the back pain and inability to get a full night's sleep- (which you will not get again until this child is at least 13 anyway), the moment to moment self-questioning 'am I going to be a good mom?' what if… this and that…. When… how… what… where… you were there for all of it. You got us through- when we got to the last week before she was due- we thought that she was going to be the biggest baby in the world and it was time for her to come out of there---- 'get her feet out of my ribs' 'get her head off of my bladder' 'I can't sit, stand, lay, or sleep- I am famished, but there is no room for my stomach past one bite of food. There you were again- calming and reassuring and 2 days later----the sound of a woman's water breaking at 5:15 in the morning is one of the most amazing sounds in the world…. And 29 and a half hours later she's here, the most stunning baby girl in the whole world! So thank you, thank you for being you. Thank you for helping us experience the most marvelous experience in the life. We know it would not have been as amazing as it was if it had not been for you."

As the EPA takes next steps to replace the plan, an engineer at Washington University in St. Louis who studies fossil fuel combustion says this week's move will make it difficult for power providers to plan ahead.
"The power industry makes billion dollar investments that can last 50 years or more, so it is critical to them that they have an understanding of policy and that the policies do not change drastically during that time," said Richard Axelbaum, the Stifel & Quinette Jens Professor of Environmental Engineering Science at the School of Engineering & Applied Science.
"During the last administration, there were many changes to policy so it was difficult for utilities to make major investments. The reversal of the Clean Power Plan once again brings uncertainty to the power industry, and it delays efforts to contain carbon emissions. The democratic form of government is extremely effective in most areas, but when it comes to long-term planning for the power industry, it presents challenges that can be costly to the American people."
Axelbaum's studies the formation of pollutants, such as soot, and develops new approaches to eliminate them. His current efforts focus on addressing global concerns over carbon dioxide emissions by developing approaches to carbon capture and storage (CCS).
He is available for interviews and may be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The School of Engineering & Applied Science at Washington University in St. Louis focuses intellectual efforts through a new convergence paradigm and builds on strengths, particularly as applied to medicine and health, energy and environment, entrepreneurship and security. With 88 tenured/tenure-track and 28 additional full-time faculty, 1,200 undergraduate students, 1,200 graduate students and 20,000 alumni, we are working to leverage our partnerships with academic and industry partners — across disciplines and across the world — to contribute to solving the greatest global challenges of the 21st century.

Work on number recognition and expressions with these clip cards that use base ten blocks. You can also get them with tally marks and ten frames.

For some reason, clip cards are loved around here, so on this rainy Friday before Spring Break this is what we will be doing in math.
We've been working hard on number recognition with our caterpillar activity, our new calendar pieces, concentration from Playdough to Plato, and these fun number cards from This Reading Mama. Today we get to continue this work and for the first time in my four
Today we get to continue this work and for the first time in my four-year-old's life begin to figure out expressions.
Prep work for NumberRecognition Clip Cards
- Print off the cards on cardstock, cut out, and then laminate
- Provide
- clothes pins or clips
- dry erase markers
- hundreds chart
Figuring our Expressions
So how did I move from just figuring out a number to figuring out expressions?
It was actually easier than you would think.
Again, we have been playing with base ten blocks for awhile. If your students are not familiar with them you could start with these cute printables where the students put base ten blocks on cards based on the number provided. After they are comfortable with the value of a long, then you can move to expressions.
For each card, we started off figuring out the number. Of course, we had out our well used and worn hundreds chart to provide extra support when he got to count the ones. Once he had correctly figured out the number, we focused on the expressions.
For this card, we began by looking at the first expression 20 + 10 + 3. My four-year-old circled two longs first knowing that this represented 20. He then circled 1 long to represent the ten, and finally the 3 cubes to represent the three. Since all the longs and cubes were circled he was able to clip this expression.
Next, we moved onto 30 + 3. He erased all his circles and then proceeded to circle the three longs for 30 and the three cubes for 3. He excitedly added the clip since he realized this expression worked too.
Finally, we moved to the last expression. He circled one long for 10, another long for the next 10, and then the three cubes for 3. He immediately knew that this was not the correct expression for 33, because he hadn't circled all the longs. We discussed that this expression equaled 23, and then moved on to the next card go through this process again.
I'm excited about how much this little guy is learning, and the time he took to think through his answers.
I hope Enjoy this fun time of learning with your Kiddos.

If you find yourself having back and forth misunderstandings with your employees, then you might have a communication problem. And this could be creating bad feelings, low morale and inefficiencies. To remedy this, perhaps it's time you thought about creating a Policies and Procedures Manual. You can also follow these methods to empower employees.
A Policies and Procedures Manual is a communication tool designed to empower employers, managers and employees with a consistent approach to accomplishing their daily tasks. It provides a set of policies, plans, reports, forms and work routines that convey the pulse of the organization.
Having a properly developed manual is one of the methods to empower employees because it focuses everyday business communications between employees and management on what is really important to get the job done. This focus is the first step in empowering employees. Empowerment requires a shared vision, the communication of necessary information and adequate training.
An organization's policies and procedures manual should be used to communicate both corporate policies and the appropriate procedures for implementation of the policy in a combined style format. If employees know the vision, then they feel confident to make decisions, making this one of the important methods to empower employees. Keep in mind, though, policies should not be confused with procedures.
Policy – A definite course or method of action to guide and determine present and future decisions. A policy is a guide to decision-making under a given set of circumstances within the framework of corporate objectives, goals and management philosophies.
Procedure – A particular way of accomplishing something, or an established way of doing things. A procedure is a series of steps followed in a definite regular order that ensure the consistent and repetitive approach to actions.
A policies and procedures manual serves to translate the company's business philosophies and desires into action. A well-designed manual is an invaluable communication tool for efficiently running operations within departments and bridging the gap between interrelated departments. How does this serve as one of the methods to empower employees? If a department has specific information that it requires to process a task, then this information is easily captured in a form that accompanies the task. Forms are commonplace in business, acting as a guide for such things as purchase orders, employment applications or asset requisitions.
A policies and procedures manual is a functional guide for training new and existing employees. It prevents difficulties in performing duties due to lack of understanding or inconsistent approaches from personnel changes. And it will assist in developing a consistent method in handling any task.
Policies and procedures speed up employee decision making, which is one of the methods to empower employees. It's beneficial to have a handy, authoritative source for answering questions. Well-developed and documented manuals can ensure compliance with regulatory agencies affecting your business, including the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), government contracting authorities and independent certification organizations (i.e. ISO).
A comprehensive policies and procedures manual covering all departments within an organization can become a quality manual for the whole company. This will help ensure optimal operations and consistent delivery of the finest in product or service from the company.
Something that helps employees make decisions independently without the need or time delays of involving various levels of management is definitely one of the methods to empower employees. A well thought out manual will enable just about everyone in the organization the ability and flexibility to make the right decisions in his or her job responsibilities.
For example, a customer service representative should be able to handle a customer's problem and have the authority to resolve the problem right on the spot. In addition, a production team should be able to diagnose a quality problem and formulate and resolve the problem in conjunction with engineering without having to go through various channels up and down the corporate ladder.
The goal of the policies and procedures manual is to identify the ways and means of communicating, as well as getting the service performed or the product manufactured at the least cost in the minimal amount of time. These methods to empower employees can also come with the added benefit of increasing job satisfaction and employee morale.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
Platinum recording artist Puddle of Mudd released their first record in 2001, Come Clean, which went on to sale more than more 3 million copies. The group would give us rock hits like "Control," "Blurry," "She Hates Me," "Famous" and "Psycho," just to name a few.
Formed in 2009 in Houston, Killing Clover gives us a sound reminiscent of Bad Religion, The Misfits and a little of The Ramones. Forming in 2009 in Houston, the band plays gigs at Warehouse Live and will soon be competing in the Battle of the Bands at Fitzgerald's on Sept. 4.
Many thought Richard Patrick was crazy for leaving Nine Inch Nails in 1993, but after millions of fans heard the first album from his band Filter, they applauded him.Filter graced the music world with five studio albums with popular tunes such as "The Best Things," "Welcome to the Fold," "Dose," "Where Do We Go from Here?" and, of course, "Hey Man, Nice Shot" and "Take a Picture."
The Kottonmouth Kings are back for a their 18th studio project — Sunrise Sessions. 18th you say? Yep. This group has been going strong since the early 90's and that shows a big commitment from not only the group itself, but a strong and loyal fan base.

13 Oct Standing of Non-Debtors under 15 U.S.C. 1692d
Posted at 12:04h in Bankruptcy Basics 0 Comments
As I previously wrote, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ("FDCPA"), 15 U.S.C. 1692d makes it unlawful for a debt collector to engage in any conduct the natural consequence of which is to harass, oppress, or abuse any person in connection with the collection of a debt.
A key phrase is "any person." This means that even a person who does not owe (and is not alleged to owe) a debt can bring a suit against a debt collector for harassing conduct. Such people have standing to sue under this section of the FDCPA. Family members of a debtor who are abused will sometimes bring suit under this section of FDCPA.

Did Diddy Confirm Relationship with Cassie?
It's no secret that the rumored relationship between Diddy and Cassie has been kept a secret for years.
Though he has thrown intimate celebrations and gifted her with Rollies, Sean Combs has kept his affair with the "Me & U" singer (who is also signed to Bad Boy) private. However, the two have started to slowly open up on Instagram.
Several weeks after Cassie's anonymous blog-directed Tweegram rant where she revealed being "committed 4 a long time," Diddy took the social app to post a photo of his supposed boo with the caption, "I'm a very lucky man #know that."
Guess, Cass out the bag.

Superheroes at the Met: January JonesPosted: May 9, 2012 Filed under: Interactive, Red Carpet Fashion | Tags: january jones, met gala, superhero actor Leave a comment
January's look is so heroine chic fashion people on twitter called her a superhero.
Her bodice is amazing. It's the definition of heroine chic. But the best part of this image is that smile. I've professed my affection for Ms. Jones and her Frosty Performance but I love to see her look so happy.
Here's the rest of the dress:
The floor-length hip-hugging skirt is why Gwyneth was named Superheroine of the Night — January's not going to ice anyone in that — but I can imagine her ripping it away to reveal a mini, or preferably pants, and breaking out the kung-fu. Y/y?
There's the glare she does so well. And here is where I explain that when I first saw this dress I described it as "January Jones is wearing a cylon".
Which is a whole other layer of geekery/awesome. I love the cast of New Battlestar Galactica as it was but imagining a movie version with January Jones as Number Six is not horrible.
This dress could also be "when Emma ran away with Wolverine". All of which leads me to believe January Jones is courting the geek chic audience. She's crafty that way.

On the drive to work, I pass a multitude of really cool barns, some of which are more than a century old. I love them, and I keep kicking this idea around in my head that I want to get the owners' permissions and do extensive photo documenting of their every aspect. It's an idea I'm in love with, but it gets shuffled down in priority – there will be time later.
One little structure, probably a barn used predominantly for storing a tractor or two and nothing more, popped up on my radar a couple of weeks ago. It was interesting in that it had a nice tin roof, and the side boards were peeling off – it was on the verge of collapse. "I should get to that one soon," I mused as I drove by, forgetting a mile down the road.
Earlier this week, after heavy winds, all that remained of the little barn was its tin roof sitting atop a collapsed pile of boards and supports. "Rats," I fumed.
It still looked interesting, though, with the perfect tin roof atop the rubble, so I made a note to come back – sometime.
Two days later, the tin roof had been stripped off, leaving only the rotting wood behind.
I really need to get started on this project, before more of these old treasures are lost for good.
In other news, I only have a few thousand more words to go for Nanowrimo – in terms of word count. The story itself is probably only 2/3 done, and holy wow, it's pretty awful. Oh well. In the kick-off on October 31st, the organizer had us draw our inner editors. This is mine:
Even though he is, ostensibly, locked up, I think he is still capable of sending me telepathic messages. For the most part, I think I'm winning, though. I wrote a line of dialogue that had both "yonder" and "adjacent" in it, and did not go back to change it. Ha, so there, editor.

Never underestimate the power of a good travel day pack on a trip. These versatile day packs are perfect for any active vacation or urban travel if a backpack is more your style. Plus, if you run out of space in your bag on the way home, they make for a great spare carry-on.
Patagonia Lightweight Travel Tote Pack 22L
This hybrid tote and backpack makes it one of the best day packs for travel because of its dual-functionality and lightweight material. And not only is it lightweight, it's also tear- and weather-resistant, too.
The main compartment is zippered and there are two mesh water bottle side pockets, as well as a large zippered front pocket, so it can hold all of your carry-on essentials. And the 22L size makes it roomy enough for an overnight stay, and it folds into itself for easy storage.
Price & Where to Buy: $79 on Patagonia's website.
Sea to Summit Ultra-Sil Day Pack 20L
Sea to Summit makes a great streamlined pack that stuffs into its own built-in pouch, which packs so small you can even attach it to a keychain. The straps are reinforced with bartacking and made from silicone nylon for longevity. It only has one main zippered compartment, but is one of the best travel day packs for its simplicity or if you're looking for a space-saving travel day pack.
Price & Where to Buy: $32 on Amazon.
Patagonia Black Hole Backpack 25L
This is one of the larger travel day packs on the list, but it's a sturdy option for those looking to do some hiking or other outdoor activities. Even though the bag is made of strong polyester, it's still lightweight and waterproof. It has a padded sleeve for a 15-inch laptop, stretch-woven side pockets, padded shoulder harness, and a zippered top pocket for essentials.
Price & Where to Buy: $129 on Patagonia's website.
Matador Freerain24 Backpack
The Matador Freerain is the latest style in Matador's compact packs range. This ultra-light style is watertight with waterproof rolltop construction, making it super durable for any type of outdoor activity. It has a 24-liter main compartment, dual side pockets, and a front vertical pocket for easy access to essential items.
Price & Where to Buy: $65 on Matador's website.
Osprey Daylite Backpack 13L
Whether you're taking on an urban city tour or a summit excursion, the Osprey Daylite is the perfect travel day pack. For hikers, it has a slot for a hydration bladder and is designed to be attached/removed from larger Osprey bags. For the urban traveler, it has a large main compartment, front pocket, and side mesh pockets. At 13-liters, it's on the smaller side, but it still fits everything you would need for a day.
Price & Where to Buy: $50 on Amazon.
Sherpani Spire Pack – Women's
This is a great travel day pack for urban travel due to its zipper locks, RFID-protected pocket, anti-slash mesh bottom, and chair lock loop system, which can secure your bag to a chair if you need to leave it. The bag also has a deep main compartment, tablet sleeve, and exterior zipper pockets.
Price & Where to Buy: $100 on Amazon.
Sydney Paige Guidi 18″ Laptop Rucksack
This stylish travel day pack option holds a large laptop in the padded sleeve compartment, and has three external zip pockets to hold your essentials. The main compartment has a drawstring and magnetic closure, and the back and shoulder straps are padded.
What makes this travel bag even more special is that Sydney Paige donates a matching backpack full of school supplies to a student in need with your purchase.
Price & Where to Buy: $90 on Amazon.
Fjallraven Kanken Classic
I've been flying with my Kanken as my personal item for more than a year now and I love its size, durability, and shape. The Classic style makes for the perfect travel day bag as well, with a roomy main compartment and front pocket for your essentials. The simple design is stylish and you can fit a surprising amount of clothing and gear inside.
Price & Where to Buy: $80 on Amazon.
REI Co-op Flash 18 Pack
REI's Flash Pack is travel day pack with dual-functionality. Simply turn it inside out and the backpack doubles as a stuff sack for packing. This day pack is super comfortable to wear with a lightly padded back panel—which also slips out to double as a seating pad—as well as padded shoulder straps and detachable hipbelt and sternum strap. The sternum-strap buckle can also be used as a safety whistle. And, at 18-liters, it's the perfect size for day trips. What can't this day pack do?
Price & Where to Buy: $28 on REI's website.
Cotopaxi Luzon 18L Packable Daypack
Cotopaxi makes a great lightweight travel day pack, perfect for hiking. The 18-liter pack has a large main compartment with internal hydration sleeve, mesh shoulder straps, a front zippered pocket, buckled strap support, and top drawstring closure. Plus, it comes in an awesome collection of colors, so good luck choosing your favorite!
Price & Where to Buy: $50 on Amazon.

"The GMVS staff is the base of the pyramid we students rely on to make men and women of ourselves. Before I came to GMVS, there were no teachers who took the time to sit down with me and just talk. This is what impresses me the most about this place. What I'll remember from my experience here is: when you go down, you always have the choice to get up and when you make that choice, you can stand, proud of what you've done, because you've tried."

On Thursday, Dr. Matt Gammons of Vermont Orthopaedic Clinic in Rutland spoke with the whole community about head injuries, as well the importance of sleep. His comments and answers to students' questions will help us all understand not only the importance of recognizing head injuries, but also how the recovery process works. He also stressed how quality sleep helps the body recover and grow, two critical aspects of an elite athlete's program. Hopefully everyone will heed his advice!

Here is some staggering and enlightening information which i have condensed from the fantastic research of Dr. Bruce Lipton's book the "The Biology of Belief" which will open up your understanding of how we Think and Process Information…..
Dr. Lipton presents this information within the context of Health, and without a doubt if you or a loved one is suffering from any disease or disorder these observations will absolutely be of service and interest.
However, i could not help noticing how this research also explains quite a bit about how Mind Control and Manipulation are actually very easily perpetrated upon us…..
The insidious implications of this are really quite insane which you will see….
Are you ready?
Here we go…..
95% of the Conscious decisions we make ARE ACTUALLY MADE ABOUT 1 SECOND BEFOREHAND IN THE SUBCONSCIOUS!
i'll give you a second to take that in…..
Now the Subconscious is a Computer-Like Matrix Storehouse of absolutely everything we have seen, heard, felt or experienced EVER….it records absolutely EVERYTHING AND ALL ITS DETAILS AND KNOWS EVERYTHING THAT AFFECTED EVERY CELL, a complete record of our Experiences which our Conscious Mind in no way could come close to remembering as it would be Information Overload and we would naturally go insane.
In other words, every detail of every Television Image, every Movie, everything we experienced growing up at home and in school and at play, every lie or twisted concept we have read or heard, ALL OF IT has been recorded in every single detail, and here is the kicker, folks……
Regardless of how we feel about the Event, whether we Consciously consider it right or wrong or Good or Evil,
And so this later becomes what we believe to be our Conscious Thoughts…..
Are you digging the implications of this?
But wait, there's more!
It turns out that the brains of Children aged 2-6 ( and even before and after but slightly different ) are in a Theta-Wave State…..
Our Brains enter a Theta Wave State when we are being Hypnotized……so Children are in a natural state of hypnosis, and this is what accounts for their ability to download the vast amounts of information that they need from the world around them……
You probably see where i am going with this….
So what do we do with our Hypnotized Children? We them send to the State Indoctrinating Schools for the duration of their entire youth, and we place them in front of the Television, where disgusting, immoral images, violence and fear, and behavior modifying ideas and lies are downloaded and imprinted on to their Subconscious without any Moral reference to what is Good or Evil……
This is why Television shows are called Programs, or Programming…..get it? It is because the Controllers of these Images need, as always, the permission of your Free Will before they commit these Evil acts, which will be the topic of another Time….it is the same reason why soldiers wear DOG tags and must go through TRAINING…..and why it is referred to as CULTURE, which is a dish of bacteria that is being experimented upon…..
Now this does not mean that we are all semi-conscious, immoral zombies…..we do Control our actions and thoughts, it is just that they are mostly based upon what Society has dumped in there, with all the more reason for critical and Spiritual thinking,
As for De-programming the Subconscious of all Negativity, i am currently attempting to figure that out, and will of course pass on what i learn as soon as i do….
( and that is from my Heart, not my Subconscious )

The only thing missing from the reply of Jay Nixon to this basic question are chirping crickets.
This is incredible. You have to listen to it to believe it.
Does "Unified Command" mean the governor is in charge, or does it mean someone else is in charge? Nixon somehow can't bring himself to commit either way!
[See also, "Ferguson Just Waiting for the Match to be Struck."]
As CNS News reports, "Missouri Governor Goes Silent When Asked Who's in Charge in Ferguson."
But silence is the most cogent part of his reply. When he breaks silence by rambling he manages to give us even less real information.
In an excruciating press teleconference, Missouri Governor Jay Nixon (D-MO) attempted to answer questions related to his declaration of a state of emergency in the Ferguson and St. Louis areas.
In audio captured by Guardian reporter Jon Swaine, Nixon is asked by a Huffington Post reporter: "Does the buck ultimately stop with you when it comes to how any protests are policed?"
Nixon answered:
"Um, we're, um, I, you know, it, uh, our goal here is to, you know, keep the peace, and allow all voices to, uh, to be heard."
His answer meandered in a similarly bumbling fashion for another minute or so. Nixon's only attempt to answer the question was to say, "I don't spend a tremendous amount of time personalizing this" and "I'd prefer not to be a commentator on it."
The reporter then posed the question in a different way: "Is there any one official or agency ultimately in charge here in terms of response?"
Nixon's replied:
"Well, I mean, it uh, clearly… (4-5 seconds of dead air) I feel good about the… we worked hard to establish unified command, to outline our responsibilities now with the additional assets provided by my order today of the Missouri National Guard we have worked through, uh, a number of, uh, operational issues the folks have and, uh, I'll only say, uh, our efforts today are on top of a lot of last hundred days to make sure we're prepared for any contingency."
If the responsibilities are outlined then why couldn't Nixon give a brief answer as to who had what responsibilities? Nixon doesn't seem to want anyone to think he is in charge of the results of his own executive order. But he doesn't want anyone else to be named as the one who is in charge either.
This inspires no confidence at all. As a resident of the greater St. Louis area, I have to wonder what is in store for Ferguson and the rest of the metro region.
I'm certain of one thing: someone is in charge. But if not Nixon, then who?

Feminism is a label I struggle with more than I'd like to admit. At the simplest level I identify as feminist because I truly believe that all people are created equal, and that the shape of our chromosomes shouldn't dictate how we are treated by the world and I have an issue with the fact that right now it does. What I have a hard time with is feminist expectations and how to reconcile living a life that will make me happy with a life that fights for equal rights and freedoms.
When I fit so easily into the model of the woman who cooks and cleans and sews and would be happy to be a stay at home mom it becomes even more important to do the small every day acts of equality.
Things like holding the door open for a man, when I happen to reach it first. (Seriously, the stunned looks I get at this blow my mind.) Having entertainment expenses come out of my part of the budget, so I get to be the person to whip out the debit card when we're out and about. Making Bunny take an active role in the work of changing my last name.
It's challenging the men in my life to think about the inequalities in a world. Making sure that they know that yes, sexism exists and it affects me and it affects them and it is real and problematic. It's calling them out if they say sexist things and getting them to think about their assumptions.
It's making political statements, and supporting women's rights by writing letters to my political representatives and voting with equality as a key issue. It's being aware of other forms of inequality and speaking up about them, especially when they don't affect me.
There are others, of course, things that I do and things that I don't do because they don't feel right to me. Some of them come naturally, some I stumble across and make my own and some that I try on for size and end up keeping up with. The little things matter and they count. At the end of my life I don't necessarily expect the big obvious acts to point to the fact that I'm a feminist, but I hope that when people see the small acts, the everyday ones that matter to me, that they make a difference.
What are your quiet acts of feminism, the ones that aren't large and obvious but you hope make a difference in people's lives?

Explore captivating parts of America's West Coast
Explore the most captivating parts of America's West Coast on this exciting tour that takes you from bohemian San Francisco to iconic Los Angeles, by way of the sights and sounds of fabulous Las Vegas. This tour is operated by our sister company Rail Discoveries.
This tour is part of our 'Great value & highly inclusive' range operated by our sister company Rail Discoveries.
Meet your group and Tour Manager at the Tour Inn Golden Gateway in San Francisco.
On Day 2, you are picked up from your hotel by a coach to begin your half-day sightseeing tour. San Francisco is filled with incredible sights, such as the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, which spans 1 mile over the Pacific Ocean, connecting the city of San Francisco to Marin County.
This afternoon you are at leisure to continue exploring San Francisco. Perhaps take a closer look at attractive Fisherman's Wharf? Alternatively the infamous prison island of Alcatraz is accessible by ferry. It is on this island where some of America's most dangerous prisoners were kept, including gangster Al Capone.
Today, depart San Francisco along the San Joaquin route which takes you through California's Central Valley by rail. Arrive at Merced, where you transfer by coach into the incredible Yosemite National Park. Here, enjoy a tour of the valley floor. Some of the main landmarks that you see include the Half Dome, which stands 4,000 ft. above the valley, as well as the thundering Bridalveil Falls, which sends water tumbling down an enormous height of 617 ft. (188 m.)
From the natural beauty of Yosemite, head to the glamorous and glittering sights of Las Vegas. Re-join the San Joaquin to travel to Bakersfield, heading across the eerily beautiful Mojave Desert and past derelict ghost towns and atmospheric villages. The buildings and lights of Las Vegas are unveiled on the horizon, and here, you head to the SLS Las Vegas, your base for the next two nights.
On Day 5, you are free to discover Las Vegas for yourself. With no end of entertainments to enthral and delight, Vegas is a favourite city of tourists the world over. With an incredible selection of resorts, casinos, and shows, take this day to truly experience the glamour of Sin City.
Depart Las Vegas today and travel across Nevada to Arizona. On your way to your final destination of Flagstaff, stop off at the Hoover Dam. This masterpiece of engineering was built during the Great Depression of 1936, as an attempt to control floods and produce useful hydroelectric power. It is now one of the most visited tourist attractions in the United States. Travel further along the legendary Route 66, stopping off in Kingman for a short break, before you finally reach Flagstaff, and check into the Little America Hotel.
Today is an undoubted highlight of the tour, as you have the chance to visit the Grand Canyon. Begin by travelling on board the Grand Canyon Railway to the South Rim of the natural wonder. It is from the South Rim that it is possible to see way out over the incredible valleys, forged by the powerful Colorado River thousands of years ago.
Make the return journey from the South Rim on board the Grand Canyon Railway, then travel back to Flagstaff and join Amtrak's overnight service on the Southwest Chief to Los Angeles. The journey takes you through the heart of the Western side of the USA.
Arrive into Los Angeles this morning, where you are picked up by coach for a half-day tour of this bastion of entertainment. During the tour, visit the famous Hollywood Boulevard, which features the numerous stars of the Hollywood Walk of Fame as well as the TCL Chinese Theatre, home of the Oscars.
The rest of your afternoon is at leisure in LA until this evening when you travel to Long Beach for a night aboard the RMS Queen Mary. Originally a luxury ocean liner, the RMS Queen Mary later became a troop carrier during the Second World War, and now serves as a fabulous floating hotel.
This morning, take a ride on the Coast Starlight for a wonderful journey along the stunning Pacific coast shoreline. Reaching the coast at Ventura, the train hugs the coast along the Pacific Coast Highway, offering wonderful coastal views. Enjoy the sights of the mesmerising Salinas Valley, with the Santa Lucia and Diablo mountain ranges surrounding you en-route to Salinas. Here, you disembark, and make the short coach transfer to Monterey. This evening is your last in America, and you are free to enjoy it at your leisure.

It seems to be a little-known fact that once upon a time there was a fourth water of significant size in the Earlswood area, though much smaller than the three lakes. Little-known, hence the only information I've been able to find out about it is that which I've gleaned from maps and aerial photos. It was a large pond called Cleobury Pool, situated to the northeast of the junction of Norton Lane and Rumbush Lane. It seems to have been fed by a brook which ran through the pond and out towards Big Cleobury Farm, and was surrounded by broadleaved trees. It was certainly as old as the lakes, being present in the first OS map of the area in 1831, but could have been much older as in an article by B.K. Roberts it's included as a fishpond in a map reconstructing how the local area would've looked in c. 1350! OS maps from the 20th century suggest that the pond was gradually silting up, with the trees becoming woodland and the surface area of water decreasing and, although still present in the late 1950s, by the early 1970s the site is shown as two fields with a little woodland, and it has remained in a similar state ever since. I recently had the opportunity to see these two fields from Rumbush Lane, whilst there are no leaves to obstruct viewing, and there is indeed no sign whatsoever of the pond. I often wonder which bird species might've visited it, and if anything unusual like Teal might've bred there, but suspect I'll never know for sure. Hopefully the fields might come up for sale and I'll buy them and re-create the pond! ;-)
I'd love to hear of any records of birds seen at this pond, and if anyone has any further information or memories of it, do please get in touch. I intend to write about how the habitats and landscape of Earlswood have changed over the years in my book, as it is very relevant to the study of birds.
I just can't stop thinking about the "wildlife pond" that's been proposed, and eagerly await news of whether permission is given or not. It would be 2 acres - a similar size to the extent of the Cleobury Pool in the 1950s, and could potentially be great for wildlife, especially as there is no public access to the field, and many of the best nature reserves for birds in the midlands are centred around shallow pools (e.g. Upton Warren). If part of the meadow was restored and no further trees planted, such a shallow pond would be an ideal breeding ground for Lapwing and Redshank. Another species that doesn't breed at the lakes but might do at this pond is Little Grebe, whilst Green Sandpiper might over-winter. It could act as a refuge for waterbirds fleeing from the lakes at weekends! Other wildlife that could particularly benefit are amphibians and invertebrates, such as damselflies and dragonflies.
At Morton Bagot (about eight miles from Earlswood), there are two shallow pools similar in size to the proposed "wildlife pond". These two pools have attracted over 40 species of waterbird in recent years including White-fronted Goose, Pink-footed Goose, Shelduck, Garganey, Pintail, Little Egret, Wood Sandpiper and Ruff, plus both Water Pipit and Rock Pipit. Lapwing breed there, and in winter flocks of over 100 are frequently seen, whilst large numbers of Wigeon and Teal have also been recorded. This proves how good a 2-acre pond could be for the birds of Earlswood. I'll take this opportunity to mention that Richard Harbird has set up a blog for the birds of Morton Bagot at http://mortonbagotbirder.blogspot.com/.
Edit: I wrote most of the above a few days ago, but earlier today found out that the planning application for this pond has been refused, although the reasons for this have not yet been given. If the landowner would like to push for a wildlife pond, permission for it may be more likely if it had the backing of the Earlswood Wildlife Partnership; please get in touch if interested.

Precision cut Polyester fibre is a very strong and stable manmade fibre that is widely used in many industries. Polyester is resistant to stretching and shrinking and perhaps more importantly for industrial applications it is resistant to abrasion and acid degradation. Polyester has a relatively high specific gravity, leading to it dispersing well in water and a relatively high melting point making it a good all round choice for a variety of applications. The short cut 3.3 decitex grade is widely used in the manufacture of lead oxide paste with cut lengths 1.6mm and 3mm being most common.
Polypropylene (PP) is a thermoplastic polymer used in a wide variety of applications including packaging, textiles and automotive components. It is rugged and unusually resistant to many chemical solvents, bases and acids making it an ideal material for use in Lead Acid Batteries and concrete.
Nylon is a generic designation for a family of synthetic polymers known as polyamides. Nylon is one of the most commonly used polymers and has found applications in everything from tooth brushes to textile manufacture. The most common grades used in industrial reinforcement are Nylon 6 and Nylon 6.6
Nylon flocks can be used to reinforce thermosetting resins for the compression moulding of electrical components. Composites reinforced by fibre flocks offer low warpage and excellent wear and abrasion resistance for applications including chain guides, gears, bearings, compressor vanes and impellers.
Natural ground olive stones are odorless organic materials ground to fine flours, granules and pits. These inexpensive natural materials are used in a variety of applications such as paints, cosmetics and non slip coatings.

I realized I was nominated for this quite awhile back, but never did it!
And also, I haven't been tagged for anything in awhile and I miss the blog-tagging-circle that used to be crazy
popular a couple years back! or maybe they still are, and I am just oblivious.
yeah I am probably just oblivious. :-/
When you receive the award, you must link back to the blog that nominated you.
Answer all of the twelve standard questions listed by the blogger who created the award.
Nominate five other bloggers you think should receive the 'Elegant Blogger Award'.
Notify them that they have been awarded.
The Questions…
What made you decide to start blogging?
Back in 2011, I believe, My older sister, Amber, started her blog,
and so I was jealous, honestly, so I started one! I thought it was weird
for a 10 (at the time) year old girl to start a blog, but once I did start it, I found LOTS
of girls my age, from all around the world!
As I got older, I turned into
also wanting a place where I could publically share my thoughts,
instead of just it being a public log of what I had been up too.
What is your fashion style?
Wow. This is so difficult to answer.
When I was younger, I lived in the color pink.
I was probably the girly-est kid on the planet.
But now, I like more darker colors, graphic tees, combat boots, etc.
What you would probably describe as "hipster", but I don't fit in that category to a T either.
I am a mix of everything I believe.
I defiantly dress very casual.
Where is your favorite places to shop?
Rue21 (they have FAB graphic tees), Cato, (for the rare occasion I dress up),
and does band shirts count? I think so.
What would your ideal amount of blog followers be?
My goal is to have 200 followers, and then I will be content. haha!
I dream to have more someday.
What are your talents?
I actually hate this question because I am NOT the type of person who can
easily brag about what they can do well.
But, I am a musician, singer, typographer, photographer, crafter
and writer, though I don't claim to be fab at any of them.
Are you a leader or a follower?
Wow this is tough.
I am the oldest child at home right now, so I am a leader at times,
but I also hate being the leader.
I like to be on the side lines, and watch and follow.
I don't enjoy being the center of attention.
What is one of your favorite quotes?
I am a quote-lover extremist.
Go a little back in my posts and there's a whole post
with about 10 I love.
Do you have a favorite book or book series?
I loveeeee reading!
I am currently working on finishing "Little Women" which I am loving.
I had always loved the movie (the newest version), but never read the book!
I also love "October Baby" (along with the movie), "One Night with the King" by Tommy Tenney and
"Stepping Heavenward" by Elizabeth Prentiss.
What is your favorite flower?
Ah. Flowers.
I love roses because they are the flowers my dad never fails to get me
for my birthday (the age I am determines how many roses I get), and valentines day, and
they just remind me of special memories, but my favorite would probably have to be peonies!
What is something none of your followers know about you?
Um. Well.
I'm not to interesting of a person so not much.
But, a lot of people are surprised by this because i'm a girl (stereotypes I guess) and apparently
loving StarWars is weird.
But yes, I am a girl, who watches StarWars for pleasure.
I nominate:
JacyRayn from "Loud and Clear"
Becca from "In Every Season"
Tane from "Fifth out of Ten"
Kathryn (so happy you're blogging again girl!) from "Chatty Kathy"
And anyone else who wants to take it!
Aaliyah xoxo

I was then handed over to Sammy, who was to tell me about her role as a Performance Media Manager in RTB (real time bidding). Sammy introduced me to the idea of dropping a cookie on a user when they visit MoneySupermarket's website and then bidding on that user to show them display ads as they visit other websites. This is a process within RTB called retargeting which you can read about in more detail here.
One of the interesting things about this team is that Sammy has her own creative sitting next to her who can knock up a display add to her specifications in no time at all. This is an example of the integrated nature of MoneySupermarket and one of the innovative reasons that Sammy decided to join the company in the first place.
Sammy explained to me how rich the data was that they collect because of the nature of obtaining a quote from a comparison site and this helps her when trying to attract partners (those companies that appear in the price comparisons). Partnering with MoneySupermarket means access to their data and expertise for their campaigns. There is another element of trying to access premium environments (e.g. a homepage takeover on the Guardian) in order to try to build a private marketplace.
Sammy also mentioned that MoneySupermarket was a great place to work because the company is open to new ideas, the active social side and flexitime.

Rate of Cellular Energy Production Lower in Persons at Risk for Type 2 Diabetes
|Kitt Petersen
The rate of insulin-stimulated energy production is significantly reduced in the muscles of lean, healthy young adults who have already developed insulin resistance and are at increased risk of developing diabetes later in life, according to a Yale School of Medicine study.
The new research by Gerald Shulman, M.D., professor of internal medicine, endocrinology, and senior author of the study, indicates that a decreased ability to burn sugars and fats efficiently is an early and central part of the diabetes problem. The new data also suggest that the basic defect lies within the mitochondria, which are the energy factories inside cells that produce most of the chemical power needed to sustain life.
The young adults studied by the research team are the offspring of parents who have type 2 diabetes, adding support to the idea that the risk can be inherited and that the problem begins well before diabetes symptoms become evident. The researchers observed that the mitochondria in the subjects' muscle cells responded poorly to insulin stimulation. Normal mitochondria react to insulin by boosting production of an energy-carrying molecule, ATP, by 90 percent. But the mitochondria from the insulin-resistant people they tested only boosted ATP production by five percent.
Among their findings was also evidence for a severe reduction in the amount of insulin stimulated phosphorus transport into the muscle cells of the insulin-resistant participants. This also points to a dramatic defect in insulin signaling and may explain the observed abnormalities in insulin-stimulated power production in the insulin-resistant study subjects. Phosphorus is a key element in the mithochondrion's complex energy-production process.
The co-authors were Kitt Petersen and Sylvie Dufour.

Unilever complains Collective Shout encouraged complaints
The Advertising Standards Board have upheld complaints against Lynx's sexist 'Rules of Rugby' advertisement.
The advertisement was supposedly created to educate men about the rules of Rugby Union. It is of course just another excuse for Lynx to objectify women. It would appear that objectification is Lynx's one and only marketing strategy. We've written about this before.
The advertisement, which appeared on YouTube and was reported to be launched as a television advertisement to coincide with Rugby World Cup, featured scantily clad women wearing modified Rugby Union uniforms (ie. underpants and midriff tops) running in slow motion. The camera zooms in on women's body parts at different intervals while the voice over makes reference to 'shape' and 'size.'
The Advertiser – Lynx's parent company Unilever – defended their advertisement in the way they usually do. It's funny! It's tongue in cheek! Our consumers love it! In their response to the ASB, they also complained about Collective Shout:
We have noticed that a Facebook group called "Collective Shout" asked other Facebook users to send complaints about the Video to the Advertising Standards Bureau (see attached screenshot). The Collective Shout Facebook site contains the following statement:
"Have you seen this Lynx television ad? Please make a complaint to the ad standards board via the on line form at www.adstandards.com.au. … "
Directly underneath this statement a link to the website of the Daily Telegraph was posted together with the following statement:
"Scantily clad models play out the rules of rugby in this controversial new TV ad that's been launched to coincide with the World Cup."
Both statements incorrectly refer to the Video as a television ad although in fact it is not shown on TV. We have reviewed the Collective Shout Facebook site and have not noticed that the Video was made available on this website. It is not unlikely that the nine complainants who claim to have seen the Video on TV have been encouraged by this Facebook site to lodge a complaint without having seen the Video on TV.
In its determination the Advertising Standards Board found that the advertisement breached Section 2.1 of the code (advertisements shall not portray or depict material in a way which discriminates against or vilifies a person or section of the community on account of race, ethnicity, nationality, sex, age, sexual preference, religion, disability or political belief. )
The Board considered that the advertisement is clearly shot to emphasise various physical attributes of the women – with lingering shots on the women"s breasts, groins and bottoms. The Board considered that the advertisement depicts the women as sexual objects. The Board considered that the "fantasy" element of the advertisement takes away any suggestion of the women actually being presented as sportswomen and increases the impact of them being presented as sexual objects.
The Board considered that the advertisement depicts women in a manner which amounts to discrimination against women.
Based on the above the Board determined that, in this instance, the advertisement did depict material that discriminated against or vilified any person or section of society.
