Government agencies and municipalities are subject to scrutiny by the public, politicians, grantor agencies, law enforcement agencies, consumer watchdogs and bondholders. A very public profile requires a very competent accounting firm. White Nelson Diehl Evans has been serving the government sector in Southern California since the 1950s. With more than 100 governmental clients, we are one of this sector's largest regional practices within the state.
We are a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Governmental Audit Quality Center, which requires a commitment to the highest quality standards. We also are independent members of the BDO Alliance, with access to its Government Industry Group, a highly valued resource for developing government accounting solutions.

We perform extensive substantaive work and examine more detail to ensure that the information reported is correct and complies with all regulations.
Agency administrators and elected municipal officials want to serve the public, not be sidelined by the threat of fraud and mismanagement or bankruptcy. Agencies and municipalities are subject to close scrutiny, and media exposure can magnify even relatively minor irregularities.

White Nelson Diehl Evans is uniquely equipped to service the Southern California governmental community because of our deep talent pool – we have six partners devoted to government advisory services. Most of our competitors are smaller and have only two or three partners with this expertise. If one of our partners must drop out of governmental engagement, we have enough resources to assign another partner to take over the work without missing a beat.

|David E. Tolchinsky
Many times when artists adapt movies into plays or musicals—or even write new plays—the question is raised, why theatre? Why is this piece meant for the stage rather than the big screen? What in the script calls for this theatricality? Recently I got to chat with David E. Tolchinsky, playwright of Where's the Rest of Me?, premiering in Series E of our one act festival. David is a Hollywood screenwriter (Girl, starring Dominique Swain, Selma Blair, Tara Reid and Portia de Rossi) and the director of MFA Writing for Screen and Stage program at Northwestern University. As a screenwriter now turned playwright, Tolchinsky had an interesting insight to both process, and the differences of writing for theatre:
I founded the MFA in Writing for Screen+Stage at Northwestern University School of Communication on the idea that there are commonalities among different forms of writing screenwriting, playwriting, and television writing. So conflict, character, structure, tone, forming a creative community, being entrepreneurial are constants and can be universally applied.
|Table Read with the Cast
But in the program, we also teach students to think about what's unique about each form and why a particular story should be a pilot versus a screenplay versus a piece of live theatre. Also, how can you adapt one into the other based on creative concerns or business opportunities? So I think about the differences between film and theatre all the time. In my own work and in my teaching.
One thing I've been thinking about in terms of what's different about film and theatre [has been] in screenwriting and filmmaking, a character's emotional revelation is usually conveyed by a close up or a change of expression in a face. In theatre, somehow that transformation has to be bigger, [it] has to project to an audience sitting far away in the theatre. And of course–the performance of the actor in a film is splintered into shots and reconstructed in the editing room. The performance of the actor in theatre is whole, live, in front of a live audience.
So, with this in mind why did Tolchinsky write Where's the Rest of Me? for the stage rather than the screen? The piece has been adapted from a monologue, to an essay, and now to a play. Why tell the same story in different mediums? It seems that some things just work best on stage, where you can be theatrical and not have to worry about realism.
I thought [the] essay might make a good comic play—funny descriptions of characters and incidents could be actual funny characters and interactions on stage.
I love the way that the play presents three seemingly unrelated things–my difficult psychiatrist father Marshall Edelson, the monologist Spalding Gray, and the movie King's Row—all together on stage. That's something you can't do in a film (well, you can, but it works differently). And I love that one actress in the play can transform herself into many different characters, live in front of an audience. And I love that I can combine a film screen with live actors.
Plays and movies are very different. Movies can more easily show different perspectives. They can also combine many short scenes in ways that don't always work on conventional stages, but Where's the Rest of Me? is a new kind of play. It combines both movie and theatre aesthetics that blend into a hybrid theatrical story. It works. It's funny, it's smart, and it's moving. Everything you would wish a play to be in a very unexplored form. Theatre is heading in an interesting direction, and I think we should all try to be a part of it.
Where's The Rest of Me? will premiere at the Hudson Guild Theatre, 441 West 26th Street, NYC, as part of Series E in the Riant Theatre's Strawberry One-Act Festival on Saturday, February 14th and Sunday, February 15th at 5pm.

Improve Your Space With These Simple Home Improvement Tips
The art of home improvement is so much more than just putting in a new sink. It takes a great deal of research, a lot of hard work, and careful attention to detail to really make sure that things look nice and that they are safely installed. The tips below can help you improve your home improvement skills korkgulv.
When building your own home through use of a contractor, add a clause to the contract that gives the builder a bonus for finishing on time and on budget. This clause will encourage your builder to do a good job in the time allotted, and can save you a lot of headaches due to missed deadlines and extended budgets.
If your rooms are looking rough because of nicks and dents in your wall, then you should try putting toothpaste in the hole to patch it up. Toothpaste epoxymaling can fill small nicks easily and can keep your room looking great. This is a cheap alternative and a quick fix.
You can speed the drying of your drywall patch by using a hair blower! Any hair dryer will work as long as it is portable enough that you can direct the air flow from it over your patch. Keep the air temperature set to low and don't try to dry the patch too quickly or it will crack.
Replacing your carpets can be a breath of fresh air. Carpets can be a hotbed of allergens making your own home hard to live in. Consider replacing your carpets with hardwood, tile, or vinylgulv laminate floors for a healthier living environment. Hard surface floors will also provide an updated look to your home.
If a price sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Make sure you get estimates from multiple contractors before making a choice on a company. It's tempting to go with the company that comes in thousands of dollars lower than their competitor, but often you'll end up paying for shoddy work that could have been prevented by going with the more reasonably priced company.
Install solar panels on your home. This is a great investment, especially since you will have to pay more for electricity. By doing this, you can significantly reduce your electricity bills due to the fact that the majority of your electricity will come straight from the sun. This option is natural and an overall good choice.
Use your creativity and develop a plan before beginning a home improvement project. After you have started the project, you'll be free to focus on what it takes to accomplish it rather than elements of design. There are many places out there to draw inspiration from. Your friends' homes, teppefliser, design TV shows, books and magazines and much more. You can certainly find it if you're looking.
The art of home improvement is something that can be enjoyed by nearly everyone, but only those very serious will try to perfect their home like a true professional. Now with more home improvement knowledge to add to your "bag of tricks," you can easily become a great home improver too.

One Man's Tash
by Ed Zaun
like to fish. Ok, that's probably not news to anyone, but I tend to approach it differently than most people do. Don't get me wrong, I like to recount my successes as much as the next liar, eh I mean fisherman, but when I'm alone and have time to think, what I replay in my mind are the fish I failed to catch. The ones I never got to tighten up on even more so than the ones that spit the hook. That leads me to the topic of this article… (nice segue, huh?)
It's been a pretty sparse year for me so far fish-wise, I've gotten out a fair number of times, but with work and family obligations it just seemed I never hit the tides right, or the fish were somewhere else. You know the story. Well, this past weekend, my brother phoned and asked if I was up for a little frustration and we decided to try our luck at the Manasquan Inlet. It seemed like a good idea as we had heard rumors that the fish were there, but there's that tide thing again, the tail end of the outgoing and then low slack was when we would fish. Harumph… Oh well, beggars can't be choosers…
When we arrived however, we had a nice surprise. There were fish jumping out of the water about 150 yards away and there was plenty of room for both of us to cast. We set up and for the life of me, I would have thought they were Tailor Blues from the size and they way they were smashing the bait. So I tied on my old standard, a 3" White Deceiver and began flailing. Fast strip, slow strip, twitch and drift, darting up and down but nothing worked. Ok, let's try a 4" Chartreuse and White Lucky Strike, a known bluefish killer. Same trial and error with retrieves and again, no dice. Not even a follow or a swirl.
The bait would crash and scamper around, there would be a splash, usually with a fish in it, sometimes right in front of me, but nothing on the hook. The bait, I could see, was spearing about 1½" to 2" long. The predator is now a mystery, because I've gotten a better look at them, and they are way too pointy to be blues, hmmm mebbe Mackerel? I'd heard some rumors about them being around too. OK, new fly. Gotta hurry now, the fish are getting more numerous by the minute and the Sun ain't getting any higher.
I had some smallish Sar-Mul-Macs in the vest, so I choose one about 3" inches long and in a generally white hue. I like to have my fly just a touch bigger than the bait, because I believe it gets noticed, and it makes a better looking meal for the munchers. Same step by step run through the retrieves with the same dazzling results. My brother grabbed his plugging rod in an attempt to see if more action would do the trick. I started looking for some rocks to throw.
By now, I'm thoroughly frustrated. I mean, I understand that you don't always catch fish, but I'd prefer not to see them all around me when I'm not catching! That's adding insult to injury. I have a tee shirt that reads, "Sometimes, when the lake is very still, you can actually hear the fish laughing at you". It seemed this would be another of those times. One more trip through the fly boxes, maybe I could get an Inspiration.
I found a box I didn't think I had with me; the one I keep all my "Well, nothing else has worked" flies in. I found a tan Crazy Charlie with Sili-Legs sticking out of it, and small dumb-bell eyes. It was about an 1½" long and rather subdued looking, but what the hell, it matched the size of the bait well, even if it is supposed to be a shrimp pattern. What the hell, it's all in the advertising anyway. I tied on a 3' length of 6lb. fluorocarbon for a tippet and let it fly. On the second cast I had a fish on and promptly lost him, but at least I was making progress.
Three more casts and I felt that welcome tug and watched the end of my fly line dart to the side. I struck and was hooked in solidly. The fish put up a good fight for his size, but when I got him to the rocks, my brother let out a groan that I had made him get the net for, believe it or not, a shad! That's what we had seen for the past hour, chasing baitfish all over the place. It was a nice fish too, about 12". "Is that all you can catch is trash?" he asked me, throwing the question back that I had asked him when he had skunked me by catching a single herring one day last fall. I sniffed and replied something to the effect that
was more than he had landed tonight and went back to fishing.
Now here's the funny thing about it, I cast into, past and around several swirls, but no fish. I changed the retrieve, speeded it up a little and wango, another hit.
I lost more than I landed that night, and had to change flies twice more because I lost a few. An original color Crazy Charlie, then finally to a sparsely tied 1/0 Platinum Blonde. They both caught fish, but never on the some retrieve twice in a row. These "trash fish" were teaching me quite a lesson in tactics. I needed to keep changing my retrieve, or I would come up short. It wasn't the fly that mattered as much as the retrieve.
That's the thing about fishing. Be adaptable, keep thinking and most importantly, keep learning. Don't get so focused that you ignore the obvious. If the fish aren't taking what you're offering, change something. The retrieve is easiest, so try that first.
I had more fun that night catching shad with my fly rod than almost any other time in recent memory. I must have lost 7 fish in a row because I didn't get the hook set right, or I fooled around playing them, but I didn't care. I was adapting to some cue the fish were using and I was catching them. Some of them actually put up a good fight. I had two jump clean out of the water and another wanted to go to the bottom in the worst way. The fights didn't last long, but Shad aren't Bluefish.
The point I'm trying to make here is just because they are called "trash" and lack the mystique of the "glamour" species, don't turn your nose up at them. There have been many times casting small fly poppers to Bluegills saved my afternoon when the local Largemouth developed lockjaw. You may find those trash fish aren't as easy to catch as you think they are and they'll put up a better battle than you would believe. For myself, I'd much rather catch shad or herring, sea robin or skates than nothing at all. One Man's Trash is another Man's Treasure!

In a steady climate the Earth receives as much energy from the Sun as it sends back into space. Some of the solar energy is reflected, for example by clouds and small particles (aerosols), some of it is absorbed by greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, ozone and water vapour, and some is reflected or absorbed by Earth's surface. Climate forcing measures the imbalance in the Earth's energy budget caused by a perturbation of the climate system, for example changes in atmospheric composition driven by human activities. Climate forcing, also known as Radiative Forcing, therefore determines the change in globally-averaged temperature change due to the natural or human-induced changes to the energy budget. Increases in greenhouse gas concentrations over the industrial era are responsible for a positive climate forcing, causing a gain of energy in the climate system. In contrast, changes in atmospheric aerosol concentrations result in a negative climate forcing leading to a loss of energy. It is the balance between these various climate forcings that drive the change in global temperature.
CAMS provides estimates of climate forcings separately for carbon dioxide, methane, tropospheric ozone, stratospheric ozone, interactions between anthropogenic aerosols and radiation, and interactions between anthropogenic aerosols and clouds. Climate forcing estimates produced by CAMS follow the definition of the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and therefore are defined with respect to the year 1750 and include adjustment of stratospheric temperatures for greenhouse gases and ozone.

Armadale moved off the bottom of the PlayStation 4 NPL WA table for the first time since Round 14 last season after a stirring come-from-behind 4-2 win against ten-man Perth Glory at Inglewood Stadium in Round 13.
The home side raced to a two-goal lead after 16 minutes thanks to a brace from striker Nikola Talimdzioski.
But the game changed when former Armadale defender Nathan Costello was sent off for the home side just after the half hour mark.
Danny Hodgson bagged a brace and the unfortunate Talimdzioski scored his third, but in the wrong net. The points were made safe eight minutes from time when substitute Jackson Bealey added the fourth.
Hodgson said they were stunned early, but showed great character to fight back.
"We knew coming into the game it was a six pointer, and to find ourselves two goals down wasn't the way we wanted to start such a vital game," he said.
"But we've come back from the same situation a few times this season, so we knew we could do it.
"The sending off was a real game changer, and it was nice to score from the resulting free kick and we grew in confidence and deservedly won it."
Armadale coach Paul Price said they were totally dominated early by the Glory, but said they steadied and fought it out, and deserved the three points.
"We got caught in the first minute and to be fair the Glory was on top and we weren't at the races," he said.
"But the sending off changed the game and I thought the lad was unlucky, he got the ball but it was a tackle from behind.
"Danny scored from the free kick and I was delighted the way the lads finished the half to go in to the break in front.
In other results, Adam Tong scored a memorable 90th-minute debut winner as Bayswater City snatched a 2-1 victory over ECU Joondalup at Frank Drago Reserve.
Cockburn City came from behind twice to earn a share of the spoils in an entertaining 3-3 draw against Floreat Athena at E&D Litis Stadium.
Perth SC proved far too clinical in a 3-0 win against in-form Inglewood United in their PS4 National Premier Leagues WA fixture at Dorrien Gardens.
Sorrento continued their improved form by beating a spirited Stirling Lions side 4-2 at Macedonia Park.
While, Subiaco put on a great defensive performance in a surprise 1-0 win over Balcatta at Rosalie Park

In traditional medicine, a cold, flu or fever is viewed as a superficial condition – the invasion of some kind of exogenous agent that challenges the body's mechanism of non-specific resistance and immunity. All systems of traditional medicine have unique and yet remarkably similar perspectives on this dynamic, in Ayurveda as the imbalance of the dosha, whereas in TCM it is the relative balance of yin and yang, and the influence of the Six Evils. From a Western medical perspective superficial conditions are the result of some kind of viral or bacterial invasion.
Jvara: The Ayurvedic concept of febrile disease
Jvara is the term in Ayurvedic medicine that is most commonly understood and translated as 'fever.' The pathogenesis of fever in Ayurvedic medicine however, is distinctly different from that of medical science. Ayurvedic medicine designates that the center of all metabolic activities in the body is the digestive tract, or the amasaya. Changes or alterations in metabolic patterns, such as increase or decrease in body temperature, almost always relates to the activity of digestion, called agni.
Agni becomes affected when the other doshas influence its function. When kapha accumulates, representing moist, sticky, heavy and oily influences, the effect upon agni is to slow it down, called mandagni, in much the same that a fire is slowed when wet leaves and branches are thrown upon it. The accumulation of kapha in the gastrointestinal tract is marked by a thick whitish coating on the tongue, lassitude, pelvic heaviness, slowed peristalsis and nausea. If this process continues unabated ama begins to form.
In contrast, hot, light and dynamic influences vitiate pitta, and cause an increase in the function of agni, called tikshna agni, such as an increase in hunger and thirst, a red tongue, burning pain in the mid abdomen, biliousness, and frequent loose motions or constipation from dehydration.
Vata has a labile effect upon digestion, called vishamagni, like a wind that blows on the embers to create symptoms of a pitta increase, or a wind that gusts across the fire, causing it to smolder like a kapha influence. Often these influences will change with each meal, and are linked to food sensitivities and the irregular function of visceral nerves. The symptoms of vishamagni are irregular appetite, eructation and acid reflux, bloating and flatulence, and irregular bowel movements.
When kapha enters the amasaya, thereby inhibiting the catabolic capacity of agni, the resultant ahara rasa is improperly refined and contains ama. Further, when these products of improper digestion enter into the dhatus, it causes srotorodha, the blockage of the channels of circulation (srotas), including perspiration (sweda). This obstruction within the srotas and the amasaya, forces agni out of the digestive tract into the periphery of the body, but is contained in the periphery because of the blockage of sweda. If the influence is of a kapha nature only, the result of this scenario is a constant low grade fever that peaks in mid afternoon, mucus congestion, dyspnea, generalized low grade body pain and lassitude called kapha jvara. If vata accumulates in the amasaya because ama blocks its flow, agni is forced to the periphery of the body as in kapha jvara. The labile nature of vata however, promotes a fluctuating body temperature with the fever peaking in the evening, with migrating body pain that alternates in intensity, a loss of sensation, dehydration, shivering, and weakness. Pitta jvara is the association of pitta with vata, with the presence of ama forcing vata to push agni out of the amasaya into the periphery of the body, promoting a consistently high body temperature, thirst, hemoptysis, ulceration of the mouth and nose, rashes, dizziness, profuse perspiration and loose motions. Apart from the three principle forms of vata, pitta and kapha jvara, two or three of the doshas may associate to form a combined dosha jvara that displays the signs and symptoms of each dosha.
When the fever continues even beyond the presence of ama, this is called jirna jvara, a condition in which kapha and ojas becomes depleted. Vishama jvara is a chronic fever that comes and goes over a period of days or weeks, resulting from the continuing influence of ama.
Treatment of Jvara
The first and primary treatment of any form of jvara is to eliminate ama and rekindle the digestive fire (agni). If the strength of the patient is strong, an emetic therapy is often administered to remove ama, followed with foods and medicines that increase the digestive fire. Emetic therapies are an important aspect of many traditional healing systems, and do not have to be totally unpleasant. A common method in Ayurveda is to have the patient drink 2 litres of a weak decoction of equal parts Yashtimadhu (Glycyrrhiza glabra), Vacha (Acorus calamus) and Shatapushpi (Anethum graveolens), prepared with 20 g of saindhava (rock salt) and 60 g of honey, as quickly as possible. The patient should then prepare themselves to vomit, perched over the toilet or a large bowl, and induce vomiting by sticking their index and middle fingers of their right hand down their throat, with their left hand gently massaging the stomach. Upon emesis, the patient should notice the voiding of much liquid, mucus, undigested food and, at the end, yellowish bile. After vamana therapy the patient should lie down for 10-20 minutes, after which drinking small amounts of ginger tea.
There are many herbs that are used in jvara, and all of them in one way or another are considered to be dipana-pachana, or herbs that enkindle digestion (dipana) and help to dentaure or 'cook' the consumed food (pachana). Examples of such herbs include:
- Musta (Cyperus rotundus): root; pungent, bitter and astringent in taste, cold in energy; dipana-pachana, slightly constipating, alleviates kapha and pitta; used in the treatment of jvara, ulcers, gastrointestinal inflammation, diarrhea, dysentery, Candiasis, parasitic infection, skin diseases, bronchitis, amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, PMS, hemorrhaging, renal calculi, neurasthenia, epilepsy and poor memory; dosage is 3-9 g in decoction, 2-4 mL in tincture (dried root, 1:5). Contraindicated in constipation and in vata conditions.
- Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia): peeled stem; sweet, bitter and astringent in taste, warm in energy; dipana-pachana, slightly constipating, alleviates vata, rejuventative; used in the treatment of fever, dyspepsia, gastralgia, candidiasis, parasitic infection, inflammations, skin diseases, cough, bronchitis, asthma, jaundice, anemia, splenopathy, diabetes, gout, uropathy, and debility; 3-9 g in decoction, 2-4 mL in tincture (dried stem and root, 1:5). Contraindicated in constipation.
One formula that can be used generally for any form of jvara is a weak decoction called Shadangam jala, comprised of equal parts Musta (Cyperus rotundus), Chandana (Santalum album), Shunthi (Zingiber officinalis), Ushira (Vetiveria zizanoides), Parpata (Fumaria parviflora) and Balaka (Coleus vettiveroides), dosed a 100 ml t.i.d. Another formula that may be used is Vyakriadi kashayam, a decoction prepared from three parts Vyaghri (Solanum xanthocarpum), two parts Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) and one part Shunthi (Zingiber officinalis).
In regard to diet, a thin rice soup called peya, cooked with a little ginger and salt, is considered to be very useful, but should be avoided in Kapha jvara. Cold foods and drinks are strictly avoided in any form of jvara, as is oil massage, bathing and the consumption of heavy and oily foods like dairy, meat and flour.
External evils: Chinese treatment of superficial conditions
In TCM, an upper respiratory tract viral infection is regarded as an external pathogen that invades the superficial levels of the body. These pathogens, such as Wind-Cold, Wind-Heat, Wind-Dampness and Summer Heat, become lodged in the superficial levels of the body, manifesting as chills, headache, stiffness and muscular pain. Initially, warming and acrid herbs are used to release the exterior, acting as diaphoretics (herbs that initiate sweating) to initiate the elimination of the pathogen through perspiration. Example of such herbs include:
- Ma Huang (Ephedra sinica): stem; releases the exterior and disperses cold; for wind-cold excess with chills, fever, headache, absence of sweating and a tight, floating pulse; promotes descending of Lung qi, controls obstruction of Lung qi by Wind and Cold; 3-9 g in decoction. Contraindicated in high BP, deficiency and insomnia. Ephedra is very drying, and astringe mucous membranes excessively, inhibiting IgA-laden mucosal secretions that ward off infection.
- Gui Zhi (Cinnamonum cassia): twig; releases superficial area; warms meridians, unblocks and circulates yang energy; 3-9 g in decoction. Contraindicated in excess heat, yin deficiency with heat, and pregnancy.
Other similar herbs include Sheng Jiang (Zingiber officinalis), Xi Xin (Asarum sieboldii), Gao Ben (Ligusticum sinense), and Xin Yi Hua (Magnolia liliflora).
If diaphoretics do not dislodge the pathogen, it begins to move deeper in the body, into the muscles. At this point there is profuse sweating, high fever, mild chills and sore throat. The next category of herbs to be used are cooling, acrid herbs that releases the exterior.
- Bo He(Mentha haplocalyx): herb; disperses wind-heat; vents rashes; allows constrained Liver qi to flow; 1.5-6g in infusion. Contraindicated in exterior deficiency, yin deficiency with heat, lactation.
- Niu Bang Zi (Arctium lappa): seed; disperses wind-heat and benefits throat; clears heat and relieves toxicity; vents rashes; moistens wind-heat constipation; 3-9g in decoction. Contraindicated in qi deficiency, diarrhea and open sores.
Other similar herbs include Ju Hua (Chrysanthemum moriflorum), Ge Gen (Peuraria lobata), Chai Hu (Buplerum chinense), and Sang Ye (Morus alba leaf).
Viral infection
The phytotherapeutic method of treating upper respiratory tract viral infections resembles both that of Ayurveda and TCM, and a Western clinical herbalist may incorporate elements of each of these systems during treatment. For the nascent symptoms of an upper respiratory tract infection warming and stimulating botanicals are favoured, often combined with botanicals that can inhibit viral replication:
- Toothache plant (Spilanthes acmella): native to Africa and western Asia, this plant is exceptionally high in immunostimulating isobutylamides, also found in Purple Coneflower (Echinacea spp.) and Prickly Ash (Zanthoxylum spp.). It has a spicy and warming energy that stimulates glandular and mucosal secretions. Dose of the tincture (fresh plant 1:2, 95%) is 30-60 gtt, t.i.d.-q.i.d.
- Biscuit root (Lomatium dissectum): Long used by the First Nations people of North America, Biscuit root gained the respect of early European settlers for the treatment of influenza. It has antiviral and antimicrobial and is very safe, although longterm usage may produce a rash in some people. It is, however, endangered, and care should be taken not to overuse it. Dose of the tincture (fresh plant, 1:2, 95%) is 30-60 gtt, t.i.d. – q.i.d.
Special mention should be given to "Composition Powder," a time-honored Thompsonian remedy. The following recipe is taken from Benjamen Coby's 1864 book "A Guide To Health," and in my opinion, should be in every bathroom medicine cabinet to combat an oncoming cold and digestive troubles. Take the powders of:
- Bayberry bark (Myrica cerifera) 2 parts
- Ginger root (Zingiber officinalis) 1 part
- Cayenne fruit (Capsicum spp.) 1/8 part
- Cinnamon bark (Cinnamomum cassia) 1/8 part
- Prickly ash bark (Zanthoxylum americanum) 1/8 part
Mix well and sift through a sieve. The dose is one teaspoon in a half a cup of hot water. There are endless variations of this formula, and instead of powders, tinctures of the same herbs can be combined in the same proportion, but the dosage can be reduced by half. Other herbs may be added for additional benefit including Biscuit root (Lomatium dissectum), Turmeric (Curcuma longa) and White Pine bark (Pinus albicaulis).
Fever is regarded a friend in herbal medicine, and therapies are used to support the fever, to enhance the body's innate resistance and speed resolution. Modern medicine, even in the face of sound physiological reasons to support the fever process, still emphasizes therapies that shut it down, such as acetaminophen and paracetamol. As can be seen in the Ayurvedic or TCM model, such an approach, while alleviating the symptoms of heat, actually drive the pathogen deeper into the body where it will manifest as a disease at some later point. The modern medical approach thus inhibits the body from mounting a defense.
Fever management
Fever management in herbal medicine rests upon understanding the two stages of any fever:
- Initiation, with coldness and chills, indicating that the body temperature is lower than that which is set in the hypothalamus, and is likely going up. If the fever is having trouble starting, circulatory stimulants such as Ginger root (Zingiber officinalis), Cayenne (Capsicum spp.), Cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia) and Angelica (Angelica archangelica) are useful to raise body temperature. Sudation therapies are also warranted, such as hot fomentations and warm water enema.
- Crisis, with hot, flushed skin and sweating, indicating that the body temperature is higher than that which is set in the hypothalamus, and is likely coming down. In most circumstances nothing needs to be used at this point, except perhaps sponging with cool water, or sliced tofu placed on forehead
The use of a thermometer is a useful tool in fever management to asses the progress of a fever. If the body temperature is 40 degrees Celsius and the patient were feeling hot, we could expect that the temperature would fall. The use of cooling diaphoretics such as Lime blossom (Tilia), Catnip (Nepeta cattaria), Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) and Elder flower (Sambucus nigra) are all useful in this case, and especially so for children. If, on the other hand the patient felt cold, we could expect the temperature to increase. If the latter occurs, we must monitor the fever often, and be prepared to use antipyretic therapies to inhibit the dangerous and life-threatening progression of the fever. Initially however, it is still better to try to use stimulants, such as Lobelia (Lobelia inflata) or Cayenne (Capsicum spp.). If the fever remains persistent and high, herbs with an antipyretic activity such as Trembling Aspen (Populus tremuloides), Willow bark (Salix ssp.), Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis), and Peruvian bark (Cinchona spp.) can be used. After a fever has resolved, stomachics such as Elecampane (Inula helenium), and Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum), and bitter restoratives such as Dandelion root (Taraxacum officinalis), and Gentian (Gentiana luteum) are all useful, to restore digestive capacity and stimulate appetite.
In addition to the timely and appropriate use of diaphoretics, antipyretics and digestive stimulants, herbs with antiviral roperties can also be used. There are several plants that have antiviral activities, but those that have the greatest activity upon upper respiratory tract infections include Biscuit root (Lomatium dissectum) and Osha (Ligusticum spp.). Additionally, both these herbs have a profound diaphoretic activity and will promote a fever to break.
During a fever, one of the most unpleasant side-effects is muscular and joint pain. Although uncomfortable, such symptoms indicate that interferon is doing its job, enhancing antiviral and phagocytic activity. While heartening to know, this rarely provides all that much comfort. Thus, a special class of herbs that have diaphoretic, antipyretic and antispasmodic properties can be used, such as Boneset (Eupatorium perfoliatum), Crawley root (Corallorhiza odontorhiza, C. maculata ) and Black Cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa).
Immunomodulants are herbs that regulate the activities of the immune system, enhancing immune activity but also regulating the inflammatory response. Many immunomodulant herbs are actually contraindicated in fever, as many have a building and restorative activity that will actually further and prolong the congestion that underlies the fever. These herbs, such as Huang Qi (Astragalus membranaceus), Marshmallow root (Althaea officinalis) and Ashvagandha (Withania somnifera) are used more appropriately after a fever has resolved and the appetite returns.
Bacterial infections
If an upper respiratory tract viral infection is sufficient to provide enough of a challenge, which of course is dependent upon host resistance, a bacterial infection will likely result. This is noted by a change in the mucous membranes, which may become dry and irritated, and begin to crack or bleed. There may be ulceration and mucosal secretions will be mucopurulent (yellow-green discharge). Additional symptoms may include fever, a swollen sore throat and lymphadenopathy.
In Ayurvedic medicine bacterial infections are a pittasama condition, in which pitta is aggravated by the ongoing presence of ama. Pittasama conditions are addressed by botanicals with a cooling and antimicrobial energy that reduce pitta, such as Neem(Azadirachta indica), Bhunimba (Andrographis paniculata), Bhringaraj (Ecipta alba), Katuka (Picrorrhiza kuroa), Manjishta (Rubia cordifolia) and Chandana (Santalum album). In TCM, herbs that clear heat and relieve toxicity are useful, such as Ye Ju Hua (Chrysanthemumindicum), Huang Lian (Coptis chinense), Lian Qiao (Forsythia suspens), Jin Yin Hua (Lonicera japonica), Ban Lan Gen (Isatis tinctoria) and Huang Qin (Scutellaria baicalensis). Important Western herbs with antibacterial properties include Garlic (Allium sativum), Wild Indigo (Baptisia tinctoria), Purple Coneflower (Echinacea angustifolia), Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis) and Old Man's Beard (Usnea spp.).

Three Meanings of E=mc²

Einstein deriving special relativity, for an audience, in 1934. Public domain. It's so much more than mass-energy equivalence; it's the key to unlocking the quantum Universe. For hundreds of years, there was an immutable law of physics that was never challenged: that in any reaction occurring in the Universe, mass was conserved.

As Woodward said this week: "There is no good judging me and the team now, let's make our judggments after Saturday night." It's a fair point. The Lions have won five of their six games to date and though others would beg to differ, the fact is that they have rarely been troubled.
It took them time to get going against Taranaki and Otago, but they won those games with room to spare, just as they did in the Bay of Plenty and Wellington; and those victories were achieved with Woodward having to experiment with various combinations, both at forward and behind the scrum.
One of the biggest talking points with regard to combinations has come at half back where, tomorrow, Welsh pair Dwayne Peel and Stephen Jones will start a game together for the first time since Mike Ruddock's dragons carried off the Grand Slam against Ireland. Peel has been in wonderful form to date, whilst Jones has come under the spotlight for the simple fact that his form this season, means Jonny Wilkinson is pushed out to inside centre.
A gamble? Yes. Could it work? Well, there is no reason why not, although the twin threat of openside Richie McCaw and centre Tana Umaga, means Wilkinson could be a busy boy. Elsewhere, the Lions might struggle a little if the game is played at pace, although if they can things tight there is no reason why they can't frustrate the All Blacks who displayed their soft underbelly in last season's Tri Nations. Whatever the outcome, it promises to be a torrid affair with two sides desperate to move on to Wellington with a significant advantage.

Home on the RV Park
We have four of our kids in one. Michael, one kid and I are in the other. We have a little accordion curtain to separate off our "bedroom." If you are familiar with RVs, you know this is pretty much the equivalent to a thick pull shade. However, I do have a loud radio right next to our child's head and a full supply of Benadryl, for nights we're feeling amorous.
The kids' trailer is the best place for cooking and cleaning up. There is much more room in the kitchen area. Yet, we are out of propane in that trailer. I know I have already noted how much we screw up and forget things. We have yet to leave a kid somewhere, but forgetting to take in the propane tanks to get filled is now a regular thing. So, I cook in one trailer right now and have every other kitchen item in the other trailer.
If I did not have 4 million other things to think about, I would already have this worked out. Perhaps when my "To Do" list is whittled down to the 2 million mark? We'll see.
We have a great laundry room. The kids take their showers down at the park facilities, because they can spread out. While it is a lot of fun showering in an RV (unless, of course, you want to say … turn around!) they enjoy the wide open spaces of our restrooms. We also have a strict "no taking a dump in the RV" policy in our two trailers. When you have that many people in close proximity, and some children with behavioral issues, and seven people needing to relieve themselves regularly, you have to draw the line.
We also have a sink and toilet in the back room of our office. In those ways, we have a LOT of room. The toughest part is when you are in bed for the night, and you forget something and have about a 6" space to maneuver (and the 6" space is still full of the box labeled "night stand" and "Mom's clothes"). Those are the moments you lose your NICE.
We really thought we might be able to swing a house in about two months. Now, we realize it will be at least four months. I would say the red tape is strangling us, but the reality is this:
We are currently living just like the average American.
Most Americans live in very small spaces. Most Americans have things breaking down constantly they either cannot afford to fix or don't have the time (unless they don't care about any R&R). We have been blessed beyond belief over our lifetimes. The truth is, we have absolutely everything we need. Everything. We are crazy rich.
Cramped, yes. Frustrated with things constantly, yes. However, every single need is met.
Can't beat that.
Come visit me. Make me laugh. Laugh AT me. I'll put on the coffee, and I promise not to take a dump in your RV.

Nice website! Makes me want to buy an RV just so I can come visit you. Then the "noise factor" of your park can be the three screechy boys of some lady who loves your blog. :-)
(And I just noticed the label on all of these posts. LMAO.)

This place looks great! I loved looking at the website and seeing some pics of where you are now. I hope living in the RVs for a few months is fun and not too stressful... Good luck!!!
PS Proofreading is probably not top priority right now, but just in case it's helpful - if you are messing with the website sometime, you might want to just fix up the spelling of "clean restrooms" and "handicap accessible" in the sidebar. When your to-do list is down below 2 million! :)

Now you know I'm going to pimp the website all over the internet, right? :) I so envy you, then I don't. My organization skills are so lacking we'd all be eating nuts and berries growing along the side of the road. LOL Take care!
- August 07, 2009 10:37 AM
Christine, I definitely want to come and visit and I'm in a "testing my limits" kind of mood- I think I'll take a dump in YOUR RV! I wonder what my consequence will be! LOL!!! Keep up the good work, this is such an inspiring adventure!

You're a bigger woman than me (Well must be quite a bit smaller to live in cramped quarters) I like open spaces and room to breath and i have many "leave me alone" moments.

OK, seriously, can I come next Friday (the 14th)? I could help do some things. My kids will be with me, but I am willing to do whatever you need help with. Send me an email and let me know...

what a beautiful peaceful place. if i ever come to texas (or the US for that matter) i will try to look you up. actually, i'm laughing at your situation because it sounds a lot like missionary life (which i am intimately acquainted with, having been one for 23 years) in a third world country. minus the hot showers and PLUS a lot of nasty bugs and about a thousand people living next door. enjoy enjoy enjoy your lovely inconveniences!

What an adventure! I love your positive attitude about it all. You are also close to one of my favorite cheap getaways - Krause Springs. Well not superclose, but it could be a fun "staycation" day for your family.

Love the campsite website...
You are a woman after my own heart...pics of a super clean bathroom! That really will keep them coming. Nothing is worse than a gross camp toilet. I want to make the trip down from New York just to pee.

The decision to renovate and restore monuments in the Mehrauli Archalogical Park was long overdue, though late it is nevertheless welcome. Among the tombs to be renovated is that of Ghayasuddin Balban which dates back to 1286. Just like the older tomb of Illtumish, this one also doesn't have a roof. But since mausoleums of such important personages couldn't have been built roofless, it is fair to assume that the roofs collapsed during the course of the centuries after weathering many a monsoon or invasion by hostile forces. It would be in the fitness of things if the ASI takes up the challenge of restoring them as also that of Alauddin Khilji. This will no doubt be a daunting task as no depiction of these tombs, complete with the roofs, is available but architectural trends in those days and guesswork may be of some help.
When one visited the tomb of Alauddin, one found that a mongoose had made its home there in a hole. That was over 40 years ago. A recent visit to Balban's tomb revealed that a whole mongoose family was active in it. Illtutmish's tomb had a chameleon, a big one, which changed colour frequently, with its throat getting knotty as if it was about to shoot the poisonous "goli" which, as erroneously believed, the "girgit" uses to attack those who try to impede its path. One of the caretakers, however, disclosed that mongooses are pretty common in the area and hide in Illtutmish's tomb too. And this, he thought, was a welcome sign since it kept snakes away, for no snake however venomous would like to meddle with a mongoose. Otherwise snake-bite cases in and around dilapidated monuments are not uncommon during the rainy season.
One thing that ASI must keep in mind while renovating Balban's tomb is that the Slave ruler spent a considerable part of his life at his estate in Hansi (now in Haryana). Surely the ruins at the place if renovated, could throw fresh light on this stern and able administrator. His palace, Kushaki Lal in Nizamuddin is in a pitiable state and despite some repairs is still far from being labelled as "restored". Sikandar Lodi's tomb in Lodi Park is also to be renovated but what about the tomb of his son, Ibrahim Lodhi in Panipat, the only tomb of the dynasty not in Delhi? Open to the elements, this tomb can hardly be called a mausoleum.
It was built courtesy Babar who, after the First Battle of Panipat, sent out his men to find out the fate of his rival. They discovered the body of Ibrahim among the slain, for he had died fighting gallantly and the Mughal invader could not but salute his bravery. Babar had the body buried in a mud grave which was later built upon by Ibrahim's mother (the Sultana Begum). She had been taken into protective custody by Babar, who later allotted a special place to her among the ladies of his harem. But bent on avenging her son's death she bribed a cook to mix the dreadful poison Kalakuta in the Mughal emperor's food. Babar became seriously ill but somehow survived. The effects of the poison, however, it is said, led to his early death. A debatable point but worth consideration.
Ibrahim Lodhi's tomb should also get a roof and the buildings at Sikandra in Agra, where Sikandar Lodi wanted to establish a new capital, too need to be reclaimed. The tank he built is now known as Guru-ka-tal and the tomb of Khwajasarai Itibari Khan, the royal eunuch who tortured Shah Jahan in his last days in the Agra Fort, has become a gurudwara. Actually the Khwajasarai had converted a Lodi monument to serve as his future tomb. Nizam Khan Sikandar Lodi was the greatest king of the short-lived dynasty and preserving his legacy so close to Delhi should not be difficult. But one thing that no renovation can probably restore is the missing grave of Balban. The grave of one of his sons and that of another relative can be traced in the mausoleum but not the Slave Sultan's. It is said that he was cursed by a dervesh that after death there would be no trace of his remains as he had punished a holy man on the mere suspicion of witchcraft. But this is just a myth. May be a successor king, the elements or vandals were really responsible for the vanished grave. Still it takes away from the sanctity of the monument.

Can you stand on your head or do a handstand?! If so do this daily for at least 3 minutes, or more if possible. This, for me has been the most effective method for banishing the blues.
Try using a wall for support on your back.
If these poses are not accessible to you then try a modified inversion such as Downward Dog or Forward Fold.
The Breath of Joy will also give you an energy boost.
Eat more fruits and veggies.
The sun may not feel warm in winter's colder climates but it will provide you with the needed vitamin D. Get outside! You may also want to addVitamin D supplements.
Eat more fatty fish like Salmon, Lake Trout, Mackerel. If you are not a fish eater simply take a fish oil supplement.
Listen to music that makes you happy! Here's one of my favorites. Maybe even dance to the beat!
Get some exercise every day. You don't need to make it into a big thing – simply take a walk or do a few jumping jacks. Anything! Just Move! If you do belong to a gym then use it.
Have a few Reiki sessions to get your energy balanced and your body in the best state to start healing itself.
Try wearing some joy making crystals like Carnelian, Lithium Quartz, Bloodstone, Rose Quartz.
If these methods do not make a difference in your mood please do not hesitate to call a professional! You are not alone in sadness/depression and it is nothing to be ashamed about. You cannot achieve your purpose on earth when you live in sadness so help the world out and get yourself in peak emotional condition.

Center Pivot Irrigation Quilt
I actually finished this quilt a few months back, but just got around to doing nice pictures because I wanted to enter it into a few quilt shows.
Like most quilters, I gaze out airplane windows and see endless landscapes of potential quilts.
The scrap circles and white stained sheet were found in a garbage bag intended to be made into dog bed filling, cut by an unknown maker for an unknown purpose. The cheap polyester fabrics were a construction challenge, and the old sheet had a subtle color variation that seemed an interesting interpretation of the phrase "hand dyed." I experienced constant self-doubt during the extravagant hours of quilting time spent on this old trash, but in the end, it is a favorite piece.
