On a Japanese Teapot
It is a small, iron teapot from Japan
With signs of tradition amid function
Cast into a shape with a simple plan
Both bold and serene in its conjunction.
Though it does not require, it may be viewed
As art: one notices or else does not,
Inasmuch as it is at all construed
As expensive, or as worth a certain spot.
And thus, much is left to the beholder,
Where to be is to see or not to see,
As it is with beloved and lover;
Yet, this is fair if one's look be worthy.
And indeed, while this beauty never hides,
Something is kept secret where it resides

Particle physics is the study of fundamental particles and the forces that guide them. Because many of the fundamental particles only appear during relativistic collisions in particle accelerators, colloquially called "atom smashers," particle physics is also known as "high-energy physics". Physicists have been slamming together particles at extreme speeds since 1929.
The best picture of particle physics we have today is called the Standard Model, developed painstakingly in the 1970s. It was a reaction to the "particle zoo", a huge proliferation of unusual fundamental particles discovered during high-energy physics experiments in the 1950s and 1960s. The final particle count ended up to be around 31, including 24 fermions (quarks, electrons, neutrinos, and their antiparticles), 6 bosons (one of which, the graviton, has yet to be observed), and one elusive particle responsible for the property of mass itself, which also has yet to observed, the Higgs boson. Basically, the fermions make up matter and the bosons mediate interactions between matter. The light coming from your computer screen is made up of photons which are bosons. They are interacting with the fermions making up your eyeball.
Most of the matter all around us is composed of only a few fundamental particles: up quarks, down quarks, and electrons. There are also 50 trillion low-mass neutrinos streaming through our bodies every second, passing through the entire Earth almost as if it wasn't even there. Neutrinos, whose name means "little neutral particle," are so elusive that it wasn't even known that they had a mass until 1998. One of the newest areas of astronomy is known as neutrino astronomy, whereby neutrino flux from the Sun and supernovae are observed using huge detectors.
Although only a few of particles in the particle zoo make up the matter we are familiar with, particle physics gives us great insight into the structure of reality by showing us the less common variants and how they fit together into a unified family. Particle physics can be said to be responsible for the existence of nuclear power, nuclear medicine, and nuclear bombs. Particle physics is considered one of the most respected areas of science because it ends up producing insights which are useful to other areas, sort of like math.
Post 4
Save your time and research money; the graviton does not exist.
I could tell you what creates gravity; I could tell you why it doesn't show itself the way you think it should, and that is probably why you can't figure it out. I could tell you there is no magic particle that creates gravity and yet it is particle based. You must visualize the whole cycle to understand. Surely I'm not the only one. Happy trails.
Post 3
What are the modern discovery or inventions in physics?
Post 2
In this article, you say 50 trillion low mass neutrinos stream through our bodies every second. What is your source for that bit of information, and also, how do you determine they 'are' low mass or whether they have 'mass' at all. If you could be so kind to tell me because I would really like to know.

Strike Zone podcast: On Mets' NLCS win, Daniel Murphy's red-hot playoffs
For the first time in 15 years, the Mets are going to the World Series. But how did New York get there? On this week's edition of The Strike Zone podcast, hosts Ted Keith and Stephen Cannella step right up and greet the Mets, breaking down their path to the National League pennant.
To start this week's show, Ted and Stephen wrap up the NLCS and the Mets' sweep of the Cubs before pivoting into a quick postmortem for Chicago's season, including why the team fell short in its quest for a pennant and the new expectations that will be on the franchise going forward. From there, Stephen and Ted dive back into the Mets, examining how the front office built a league champion and debating which of their young aces should start Game 1 of the World Series.
Finally, Ted and Stephen turn their attention to Daniel Murphy, whose red-hot postseason has the Mets within four wins of their first title in 29 years. They try to make sense of his incredible run and then discuss whether New York should make every effort to re-sign him this off-season, or if the Mets should let their playoff hero walk in free agency.
Looking for some ALCS talk and a look ahead to the Fall Classic? Be sure to tune in again next Monday as Ted and Stephen bring you a special World Series preview edition of The Strike Zone podcast.

2014 SEC Top 100 Countdown: No. 74 Skai Moore, South Carolina
SDS talent evaluators Jon Cooper and Brad Crawford spent several months breaking down last year's highlights, incoming talent and projected 2014 impact following spring practice to compile a list of the SEC's Top 100 players heading into fall. Athletes were selected by position then ranked overall counting down to No. 1.
Stick with SDS throughout summer and get in on the action using the hashtag #SDSTop100 as we unveil a new player daily leading up to opening night on Aug. 28.
74. Skai Moore, Soph., LB, South Carolina
Recruited out of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., as an instant impact player on a unit depleted at the linebacker spot, Moore was everything Gamecock defensive coaches expected and more as a freshman last season. He led South Carolina with 56 stops and his relentless pursuit of the football led to four interceptions and a fumble recovery as the top playmaker in Lorenzo Ward's back seven.
Built like a wide receiver, Moore's rangy and one of the SEC's best in coverage as a linebacker. Production picked up in October when Moore had a better understanding of college formations and offensive tendencies. The game slowed down, play recognition was easier and Moore blossomed into a reliable playmaker.
Before recording two interceptions during the Gamecocks' Capital One Bowl victory over Wisconsin, Moore was named to the All-SEC Freshman Team by league coaches and a second team Freshman All-American courtesy of 247Sports. This fall, he'll help understudy Bryson Allen-Williams adjust to the college level in his true freshman season and create a dominant duo with Kaiwan Lewis, No. 98 in our Top 100, and Sharrod Golightly at linebacker.
2013 statistics: 56 tackles, 3.5 TFL, 4 INT, FR
2014 projection: 67 tackles, 4.5 TFL, 3 INT, 2 FR

Pesticide Alternatives for Spiders and Tarantulas
Spiders are more beneficial than they are dangerous. The majority of spiders are harmless and of use to people because they feed on mites and insects. The contribution that spiders make certainly outweighs their limited potential health hazard.
Using pesticides for long term spider control, including chemical spraying, is typically not effective and can be dangerous. Fortunately, you can use a number of basic pesticide-free techniques to control spiders.
Take Precautions
Approximately 3,000 different spider types inhabit North America. Very few of these species are dangerous to humans. Tarantulas, which inhabit the southern United States, are considered by many people to be dangerous, but these large spiders are mainly harmless. The bite of a tarantula does not cause lasting discomfort, although sensitive people may experience an allergic reaction to their hairs. You can take a number of precautions to discourage spiders from entering you home. Seal any cracks in the foundations of a home, together with those around doors and windows. Chalk up the places where electrical cables and water pipes enter the building.
Physical Removal
Remove spiders physically from indoors or from your garden, by placing a glass jar or similar container over them. Slip a piece of paper under the container -- it will seal it sufficiently enough to allow it to be picked up and moved. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove both potentially dangerous spiders and their webs. Spiders are soft bodied and will not survive this procedure. Crush dangerous spiders, such as the black widow, brown recluse and hobo with a fly swatter, broom or rolled up piece of newspaper.
Natural Approaches
According to the University of California, pesticides do not provide long-term control of spiders. Washington State University Extension concurs that the majority of spider problems can be overcome without resorting to the use of chemicals. Home owners should not have piles of debris or wood near the house. Flower beds should also not be placed immediately next to the foundations of a building. In storage areas, put boxes up off the floor and away from walls. It is best not to position outdoor lights close to the house, as these attract insects at night, which in turn attract spiders.
Organic Pesticides
A number of organic pesticides will discourage spiders. The scent of citrus is a natural repellent for spiders and lemon, lime and orange peels will keep spiders away. Living mint and lavender plants will also deter spiders, as will chestnuts. Lavender can be planted in indoor pots, as well as in the flower beds which surround the home. Apply a combined chilli pepper and vinegar spray directly to existing webs and spray it around window sills and doorways to deter spiders.

A friend and I had the privilege of fly fishing the Kootenay River in northwestern Montana last weekend. The Kootenay, a freestone river, has decent numbers of cutthroats, rainbows and bull trout. Most of the river is big water with strong, swift current at this time of the year, so it's not a particularly friendly fishery for fly fishermen. But several fishable riffles and eddies can be accessed from the bank or by wading in shallow water. In April, the weather is still pretty cool and unpredictable with the temperature dropping to the 30s each night but the sun warmed up the day reliably. The fishing itself was not great but the scenery was fantastic. The blue-green waters of the Kootenay were encased by rugged, rocky canyons bursting with evergreens. If you go, you'll need to bring a supply of patience, an appreciation of gorgeous scenery, and a warm sleeping bag.

The Clinton Foundation has been investing in green energy in Haiti to boost Haiti's recovery, recognizing that providing efficient renewable energy sources to reduce energy costs and dependency on fossil fuels are key to improving Haiti's energy structure.
The Foundation has worked with a variety of green technology organizations in Haiti to address Haiti's high-energy costs, low electrification rates, and high dependency on fossil fuels. Through the Clinton Global Initiative, the Foundation has worked with NRG Energy and the Solar Electric Light Fund (SELF) to create a model solar village in Boucan-Carré, Haiti, a project valued at over $1 million. Since this project, the Foundation has continued to work with NRG to identify new sites in need of solar power. Most recently, NRG installed a 117 KwH solar power system at Project Medishare's Hospital Bernard Mevs in Port au Prince, taking the hospital off the grid and ensuring the consistent clean energy needed to operate the hospitals machinery. Clinton Foundation partners are also working on low-cost clean energy alternatives, creating recycling systems to help manage Haiti's waste, and developing new methods for cooking through effective cook stoves and recycled briquettes to replace charcoal.
Additionally, the Clinton Foundation has provided the Mission of Hope Housing Community in Leveque, Haiti with approximately 40 solar streetlights and worked with staff to solarize the primary school for the community. The solar streetlights that the Clinton Foundation provided are particularly important for these communities, as the Mission of Hope has relocated over 150 deaf families from Cite Soleil to the Leveque community. The lights provide these families with better security and constant visibility in an otherwise dark area.

The laws that govern sport are complex and constantly developing.
Indeed, the belief that there is something specific about sport that leads to different solutions to legal problems is potentially dangerous. In reality the various branches of the law apply in generally the same way to sport as they apply to every other legal sector.
As ever, clients assume legal expertise; what they are really looking for is industry knowledge as well; for it is only by uniting these that lawyers can add value that clients need in a sector that is challenged financially.
We offer a comprehensive range of advice covering the entire range of legal issues affecting our clients in the sporting sector. From governing bodies to leading players and their agents, our clients can look to us for pragmatic and commercial advice, tailored to meet their legal needs.
Key Services
We advise on a wide range of commercial matters including sports financing and the negotiation and drafting of contracts for broadcasting and digital rights, venue, ticketing, sponsorship, marketing and advertising, merchandising and agency arrangements. In this fast growing and specialist area we have the experience, the expertise and the sector knowledge to provide real added value for our clients.
Competition & EU law
Governing bodies (and leagues) can monopolise access to commercial markets. This leaves them vulnerable to fundamental attack. We can advise both on resisting such attacks and on making them.
Governing bodies
We are involved in the formation and regulation of governing and other sports bodies, including legal framework, revisions to existing constitutions, procedures and selection policies and codes of conduct.
Corporate acquisitions
Sports related acquisitions can bring with them their own particular problems. For example they may require a detailed understanding of intellectual property rights or of image rights or a specialist knowledge of how the relevant governing body regulates the sport. We have this specialist knowledge and experience and this is complemented by the corporate and taxation skills and experience of our corporate department generally.
Disciplinary matters, disputes and crisis management
Careful attention to procedural detail is vital here and we draft procedures for disciplinary processes for governing bodies.
Reputation Management
All aspects are covered, including defamation, privacy, injunctions, breach of confidence, harassment and data protection. Urgent advice can also be provided in relation to crisis management issues.
Sport can be a very contentious arena and disputes are legion. However only in extreme cases is litigation justified as the parties in a given sport have long term relationships which means that legal "victories" can prove valueless in the medium term. Where litigation is unavoidable we pursue it vigorously; however we are alive to possibilities afforded by other forms of dispute resolution having regard to the particular nature of the sector.
Intellectual property
Intellectual property underpins most aspects of the sporting industry and is one of the most valuable assets that can be owned, acquired or licensed. We help protect and exploit this valuable commodity in all its forms. We advise on a full range of IP issues, including brand management and the protection of image rights, trade marks and designs. We provide help with domain name and internet-related issues. We also assist with product endorsement, advertising and licensing. We appreciate the importance of IP protection and can act promptly and effectively to safeguard these interests and help manage and exploit IP rights.
Venues and stadia
We can assist with all property negotiations and transactions, including sales and purchases, leases and property financing in relation to all manner of sporting venues.
Talent & Player contracts
All aspects are covered including contracts, benefits and compensation. We can also advise on commercial agreements to help an individual player capitalise on his/her image and reputation.
Charity law
With a number of prestigious charity clients, we are also acknowledged experts in the field of charity law and can assist with the formation and operation of sports charities.
If you require any further information about the services offered by the Sports team, or wish to make a specific enquiry, please contact Stephen Hornsby by email or call 0207 404 0606.


text: MOVIES Russian Rights Holders File First-Ever Collective Lawsuit Against Online Video Service 9:59 AM PST 2/20/2014 by Vladimir Kozlov FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME The move is expected to create a new precedent in fighting piracy. MOSCOW -- Several leading Russian movie and TV companies have filed the first ever collective lawsuit against an online video service, in a move expected to create a precedent in fighting online piracy. Direktsiya Kino, the movie production wing of the country's biggest TV network Channel One; major film company STV and TV series producers Amedia and Star Media are suing the online video service intv.ru, accusing it of unauthorized use of content to which they own copyright. They claim that the video service illegally offered several dozen popular TV series and movies to its users. The move comes amidst the Russian government's efforts to curb online piracy, and the fact that producers have begun to join forces in protecting their copyrighted materials is intended to send a strong warning signal to online pirates. Last summer, a set of amendments to the country's copyright law was adopted, introducing an easier procedure for blocking web sites containing allegedly copyrighted material at a rights holder's request. Several pirate web sites have been shut down since then, but many are still in operation. FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Vladimir Kozlov email@example.com @thr

Welcome to Villa Siam a luxury villa set on the golden sands of Natai beach and part of a 6 stars unique destination property. The absolute beachfront 3-bedroom villa is a maximalist fantasy inspired by Thai culture and Buddhism and includes beds and sofas suspended from the ceiling by wicker bamboo.
Designer Eggarat Wongcharit has sculpted an extraordinary celebration of contemporary Thai art, craft and design. This remarkable villa will awaken your senses and immerse you in an experience like no other.
The curved roofs of this villa represent the 'Hands of Welcome' at Iniala. There's plenty of space to relax or entertain with a large deck complete with a grand dining and living area and refreshing 20-metre swimming pool, perfect for laps. This villa has a dedicated team including a driver, butler, chef, spa therapist and a housekeeper.
Siamese Spirit
The Gallery living room is complete with a collection of significant pieces of photography, ceramics and tapestry from Thailand's most celebrated artists. Novel hanging sofas provide a relaxing place to be and the splendid white and gold dining table provides a memorable setting for dining.
Golden Bell Spa
Once you step inside this re-creation of a Thai temple bell wrapped in ornate woven bamboo, a feeling of serenity immediately overwhelms you. Gold leaf and sacred Buddhist text are engraved into the splendid dome. Eggarat created beautiful golden massage beds and pedicure chairs especially for Iniala.
Relaxation Terrace
Relax in complete privacy with your own infinity swimming pool and terrace, which offers absolute beachfront views of the Andaman Sea.
Villa Siam has 3 suites for 3 to 8 people in total.
Cocoons, By Eggarat Wongcharit
Inspired by Thai culture and nature, these two beach suites feature interestingly sculpted beds and sofas that are reminiscent of a temple stupa and silkworm cocoons. The ornate bamboo detail, by artist Korakot, adds to the fluid organic nature of these rooms. Private terraces adjoin the suites with access to the 18metre lap pool.
Lotus Flowers, By Eggarat Wongcharit
The Lotus suite is inspired by the organic nature of the four Buddhist elements of Earth: Earth, Wind, Fire and Water. Dozens of pretty bronze lotus flower leaves adorn the walls and ceilings above the bed and the artwork in the bathroom depicts the movement of life aquatic.
Rising from the idea of Buddhism's four natural elements of earth, water, wind and fire, the concept is moulded by the organic forms, lines, colors and textures that harmonize the interior space, I hope that this harmony will bring balance to your stay in Villa Siam.

When a decedent makes a valid will, the person named as executor in the will is generally appointed as the estate's representative since probate courts prefer to honor the decedent's wishes. The executor named in the will must admit it to the appropriate probate court, usually in the county where the decedent lived.
No Will
When a decedent dies without a will, a person who wishes to be the estate's representative may file an application for appointment with the appropriate probate court. Generally, courts prefer to appoint persons with priority before considering appointing another person. For example, your state may permit only close relatives – spouse, child, parent or sibling – or persons entitled to the property of the decedent to become appointed. Your state may also allow a creditor of the decedent to be appointed as the estate's representative, if no one else applies after a certain length of time.
The procedure for appointment is usually similar whether the decedent left a will or not. The individual wishing to become appointed as the estate's representative must submit an application for appointment to the appropriate probate court. The application may require the person seeking appointment to give details about the decedent's potential heirs or beneficiaries and information about the date and place of death. If the decedent had a will, the executor often must file the will itself along with the application for appointment. If someone who could have been appointed as the estate's representative wishes to waive their potential appointment, they may complete a waiver form so the court knows they do not wish to become the representative. For example, the will may have appointed someone to be the executor, but that person does not wish to take on the responsibility.
Someone seeking appointment as an estate's representative must notify other interested persons in accordance with the probate court's procedures. This will likely involve sending letters to potential heirs and beneficiaries. In some states, notices are published in the newspaper or posted in the courthouse. Giving notice allows interested parties to oppose the applicant's appointment if they don't agree with it. If no one opposes appointment – or if the probate court disagrees with the opposition – the court will likely appoint the applicant as the estate's representative.

Kate Bornstein's memoir, A Queer and Pleasant Danger: The true story of a nice Jewish boy who joins the Church of Scientology and leaves twelve years later to become the lovely lady she is today (Beacon Press), is infused with such brains and grace that even the most vanilla of readers will find themselves caught up in tales of sadism and sex, not batting an eye, but with a twinkle in it. Bornstein writes with conspiratorial charm -- more like gossip between best girlfriends (more on "girl" later) than a stranger's intimate moments. She packs it full of queer theory, American art and history, and gut-busting farce. And it's all true!
Sort of.

On Thursday July 24, 2014, yeahstub.com was invited to a special lunch honoring Fox Searchlight's latest film "Calvary" at the elegant Explorer's Club on the Upper East Side. The intimate reception was hosted by Dan Abrams, Jimmy Breslin, Dana Delany, Terry George and Lawrence O'Donnell. From the film: Brendan Gleeson, Kelly Reilly, Chris O'Dowd and director John Michael McDonagh were in attendance.
Father James (Brendan Gleeson) is a good priest who is faced with sinister and troubling circumstances brought about by a mysterious member of his parish. Although he continues to comfort his own fragile daughter (Kelly Reilly) and reach out to help members of his church with their various scurrilous moral – and often comic – problems, he feels sinister and troubling forces closing in, and begins to wonder if he will have the courage to face his own personal Calvary.
Guests were treated to a Q&A with the film's cast. Read exclusive highlights from the conversation.
The character you play in this movie is drastically different from the one you play in "The Guard", what was the difference between making the two projects?
Brenden Gleeson: Well, I suppose he had the burden of protecting an overall goodness and he was committed to it, which takes a lot of courage. Gerry on the other hand, pretended that he didn't have that and pretended that he didn't give a damn. Father James didn't have that wall, he opened up his heart which in a way that was extraordinarily brave and I think this is kind of what we've been talking about. So the idea was that Gerry was hider, but in the end he was a very well reasoned man in the "The Guard", while Father James was open, and open to all the abuse.
(On Chris O'Dowd) John, did you cast him to kind of subvert the audience's expectations based on what we already know of his on screen persona?
John Michael McDonagh: Yeah, it was just supposed to rock the audience at the very beginning.
Chris, reflect on playing the role.
Chris O'Dowd: Whenever you do anything I suppose, all you're aiming for is it to be good and so you try to work with people with integrity, whether that's comedic integrity, which is a really great fart joke or rather than a box standard fart joke, or somebody with the integrity of everybody involved in this film, it doesn't really matter. I don't really think of myself as a comedian or an actor that just does comedy, so it's not necessarily something that I overly concern myself over.
Kelly, in the movie it shows that there are bandages on her wrist and it's never fully explained about her attempt at suicide. Did you feel the need to flush out the background of the character as an actress?
Kelly Reilly: Because it's on the written page, I obviously want to indulge myself in what has happened to her because that helps me perform. But it's not that exact. She is obviously traumatized and unable to have healthy relationships with men, hence coming home to her main man (referring to her father), she tries to find peace in order to have healthy relationships in the future. But obviously it's not her fault, she is someone who is melancholic, she has a tender heart like her father I think and she hasn't been able to protect herself and therefore she arrives a little bit broken. I think she's a bit of a broken bird but I never wanted to play her as a victim. I think that's what says most about the journey she goes on with her father, he does kind of help her by the last scene. I don't think she would have been able to do that without him.
How did you manage to prepare in order to have such a believable father-daughter relationship?
BG: I think the difficulty of that was more or less surpassed when she arrived on the set. She arrived on the set and that was it, I didn't have to think twice, I didn't have to think anything. I was just thankful that she arrived the way that she did because it was nothing new that was needed. I think her spirit and her generosity – she has just such a beautiful spirit and it just sunk in.
How important was cynicism along with fate faith in your character, the construction of the character?
BG: Essential. Because it's what is denying people access to be brave and good.
Who killed the dog?
JMM: In the film, after the dog is killed there is scene where they're all in the bar; one of the characters has a bandage on his hand which implies that while killing the dog, the dog bit him so you have to go and see the movie again to see who did it.
Are you planning on making another film to make this a complete trilogy?
JMM: Halfway through "Calvary", I thought, if I release a new movie I can release a box set on Amazon and call it "The Glorified Suicide Trilogy". But that means I have to write a new one, so I guess it's that it's compelling me to write a new film, what started off a joke might really become a reality.

Therefore, based on the median sale price barometer (the barometer used by the NAR National Association of Realtors) within 70808, the market direction appears to be increasing just slightly.

It's the time of year we gardeners have been waiting for… harvesting and eating the fruits of our labor! But there are always questions: When exactly to harvest? What is the best way to pick that zucchini? What if I harvest too early? Which veggies can I pick that will produce again?
Following are some tips from the National Garden Bureau on harvesting your produce.
Bean stems are easily broken. So, don't yank. Pick every other day when the beans begin bearing to make sure that they produce to their full potential. Healthy plants will often rebloom and produce a second and third flush.
Beets can be harvested at any time, often with the smaller ones being the most tender. With red beets, look for ones that are dark in color with a shiny coat. Cook the leaves as well as the roots. All parts of the plant are delicious.
Harvest cabbage heads when they have formed tight, firm heads. Cut the stem below the head but do not pull the remaining plant. Smaller cabbage heads often develop near the base of harvested heads.
Harvest carrots as soon as the roots show color. Carrots will take a frost and actually get sweeter with cooler fall weather. For a fall carrot crop, succession plant carrot seeds in midsummer.
Harvest eggplants when the fruits reach full size, the skin is glossy and the flesh firm. Press the skin gently with your thumb. If it bounces back without cracking, the fruits are ready to harvest.
Start picking squash when the skin is shiny. In general, summer squash are most tender and flavorful when very young. It's true: the more you harvest, the more you will get!
The exact signs of ripeness vary with variety, but in general, perfectly ripe tomatoes show deep color yet still feel slightly firm. You can pick tomatoes a little green to ripen indoors, but the best flavor comes from ripening on the vine.
Happy Gardening!
We thank Diane Blazek, the Executive Director of the National Garden Bureau, for sharing some tips with us. Founded in 1920, the NGB is a non-profit organization whose mission is to disseminate basic instructions for backyard gardeners and those who want to garden, that will inspire them to spend more time outdoors, enjoying all nature has to offer.

Steven Kline, Jr.
In my January column, I wrote about my concern for how the proposed MP&M rule would affect SGP.
Since that time, I've had some correspondence with EPA that has opened my eyes to the relationship between the proposed rule and SGP. My conclusion: participate in SGP and you might be able to avoid the MP&M regulations; fail to participate in SGP and EPA will want to slap the strict effluent guidelines of MP&M on you.
Featured Content
In a series of e-mails with an EPA director, it was repeatedly stated in a variety of ways that SGP was a bargaining tool for the finishing industry that would bring the industry more clout at the negotiating table. At one point, this EPA director stated that the best way for the finishing industry to deal with MP&M was to have continued SGP success.
A few days later, I received a memo, which supported the statements of the EPA director, from the National SGP Outreach Team. The memo stated that EPA was "soliciting comments on a possible P2 alternative in the MP&M proposal to help reduce the economic impact on metal finishing job shops and leverage the innovative environmental approaches (read SGP) that many finishers are already implementing." The memo went on to say that the proposed MP&M rule makes it an ideal time to become a member of SGP.
I'm in agreement with EPA about the potential value of SGP. And, I believe that leveraging SGP and the finishing industry's initiative and commitment to reduce pollution is one way to fight the MP&M rule. But, I don't like the way EPA is going about it, virtually nullifying our industry's efforts in creating SGP. Essentially, EPA wants to take a voluntary program (one that by many accounts is revolutionary in its attempt to bring together industry and regulators) and turn it into a quasi-voluntary program. Sure, you don't have to participate. But, if you don't, you're going to pay for it. One way or the other, EPA will get finishers to lower their discharge limits regardless of the benefits or potential costs. It's like a bully asking you to give him your lunch money, but you know he's going to punch you in the face whether you cooperate or not.
Again, I urge all finishers to send your comments to EPA at email@example.com or Government Relations. The comment period will be open until May 3, 2001.

The INSIDER Summary
• There are some habits that are perceived as healthy, but really aren't.
• Having a low-fat diet can do more harm than good to your body.
• Cardio is great, but it shouldn't be your only form of exercise.
• Skipping a meal to lose weight can lead to fatigue and increased cravings.
The constant flow of new nutritional and medical research sometimes makes it seem all but impossible to know which healthy habits to follow. If a study's conclusion is embellished or misrepresented it can result in people thinking, for instance, that they should wake up every morning to a shot of tequila, or not vaccinate their children.
So how do you differentiate between which habits are healthy and which ones are just a product of popular hype? For a lot of the healthy habits in question, the science is more or less inconclusive. Weight loss, hygiene, and fitness advice is complicated, and rarely does one eating regimen or fitness routine work for everyone.
This article isn't suggesting that you never go on a juice cleanse, completely eschew supplements, or stop doing cardio, but rather that you be aware of the fact that these remedies, eating tips, and exercises may not be as life-changing as advertised.
Here are the 10 worst "healthy" habits you have.
Being Addicted to Antibacterial Soap
There is little evidence backing up the claim that using antibacterial soaps are more effective at eliminating germs than simply washing your hands with warm, soapy water. Worse, about 75 percent of antibacterial soaps contain the chemical triclosan, a drug that's never been comprehensively evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. According to the FDA, "some short-term animal studies have shown that exposure of high doses of triclosan is associated with a decrease in the levels of some thryroid hormones," while other studies, "have raised the possibility that exposure to triclosan contributes to making bacteria resistant to antibiotics."
Drinking Diet Soda
Diet soda and zero-calorie soft drinks pretend to be weight-loss-friendly, but a number of studies argue the opposite, suggesting that drinking diet soda may lead to heart problems, increased appetite, and weight gain. Preliminary research also points out artificial sweeteners like aspartame may lead to headaches, anxiety, and insomnia, while sucralose, the main component in Splenda, can have a laxative effect.
Eating Only "Fresh" Foods
For whatever reasons, there is the perception that canned and frozen foods are nutritionally inferior to fresh foods. Foods like canned beans and fish and frozen vegetables are easy to work with, low in calories, and rarely laced with superfluous additives and seasonings, and often have a shelf-life of more than a year. A 10-ounce package of frozen vegetables contains only 166 calories, while a three-ounce can of tuna contains 70 calories and 16-grams of protein, making both healthy and convenient options.
Focusing on "Low-Fat"
For decades, American dietitians, doctors, and nutritionists have singled out "fats" as the source of weight gain and heart disease, but new research shows that a low-fat diet is not the way to go. Though an overconsumption of trans-fats and animal-fats has been linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease, the mono and poly-unsaturated fats found in oily fish, avocado, and olive oil actually improve heart health by lowering triglyceride, cholesterol, and blood pressure levels, while also fostering brain health. Don't think you're doing your body any favors by eating low-fat foods, especially if those foods come in a package and are covered with sugar.
Going on Juice Cleanses
Little evidence exists supporting the idea that drinking fiber-less fruit and vegetable juice will remove toxins from your body. A juice cleanse can help you temporarily lose weight, but the adverse effects outweigh the benefits. The high amount of sugar paired with a lack of fiber, fat, and protein can pose a problem for people with existing medical conditions like diabetes, osteoporosis, or anemia. The absence of any fiber might also exacerbate digestive issues like constipation and diarrhea.
Only Doing Cardio
Running, biking, swimming, or pick-up basketball burns calories, strengthens the heart and lungs, and improves blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels, but cardio shouldn't be your only form of exercise. Combining cardio with strength and resistance training is preferable; it can accelerate weight loss, but also offers a handful of other benefits such as reduced depression symptoms, lowers risk of diabetes, improves balance, and prevents back pain.
Overrelying on Protein Bars
Protein bars tout their high-protein and low-sugar contents, but this magical ratio is only achieved through the use artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohols which may lead to bloating, abdominal pain, and flatulence. Mainstream protein bars are usually absent of wholesome ingredients, and most rely strictly on soy protein isolate, a vegetarian protein source that is stripped of its other nutrients. For bars that don't use artificial sweeteners, their sugar content can rival that of conventional candy bars.
Skipping Meals
Missing out on meals may seem like an easy way to cut down your calorie intake, but over the long run it's not a sustainable weight-loss solution. Skipping meals, especially breakfast, deprives the body of important nutrients that leads to a day of fatigue, poor concentration, and irritability; it also increases the likelihood of over indulging during other meals. Three nutritionally balanced meals a day is still the ideal way to lose weight.
Taking Too Many Supplements
Although some nutrient deficiencies disproportionately impact certain demographics — such as vitamin D deficiencies in Mexican-American and non-Hispanic black populations or iron deficiencies in pregnant women — the majority of Americans don't need nutritional supplements. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published a report that found that fewer than 10 percent of Americans suffer from any form of deficiency for iron, folate, or vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D, or E. Other supplements, like those used for body building and weight loss have also been associated with an increased risk of liver damage. A balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins should supply you with a healthy array of nutrients.
Using Q-Tips
The foundation of ear hygiene, Q-Tips have recently come under scrutiny. "Do not insert swab into ear canal," is plastered right on the package of most Q-Tip brands, but despite this warning, we willingly shove them into our ears. Dr. Martin Burton, a professor of otolaryngology at the University of Oxford in England warns that Q-Tips can do more damage than good by irritating the delicate skin of the ear canal, puncturing the ear drum, or introducing bacteria into the ear canal. Burton says that ear wax is anti-bacterial, and isn't really meant to be cleared out.

Do you like change?…
That is always a tricky question to answer. I know lots of people that get really stressed and more than a bit panicky just thinking about things changing. I like to know what is what but certainly over the past few years have learned to see it as an opportunity rather than an ordeal to face. My blog looks more closely at how we can rise to the challenge and seize new opportunities. I would love you to share this with your contacts using the link below.
I liked the following quotation from Rowan Coleman's 'The Memory Book' and I think that it sums up where I am right now.'Being a mother is about protecting your children from every conceivable thing that might cause them hurt, but it's also about trusting them to live the best way for them, the best way they can, and trust that even when you are not there to hold their hand that they can succeed'
I encourage my girls to go and follow their dreams and will do all I can to support them. It is their adventure though – I just need to find a way not to show exactly what I am thinking on my face!! I have always felt supported and loved by my parents and hope I am doing the same for my family. Perhaps that is the most important thing about change – if you are facing change from a positive place then it is much easier to embrace it as an opportunity and to take a chance.
Take care

Barack Obama helps out flood victims in the Midwest by bagging sand. Finally when someone asks one of his followers: Name one accomplishment of Barack Obama? They can say he helped flood victims in the Midwest. And, he did it in dress slacks and a crisp white shirt. I'm sure this will end up on his painfully thin resume' as Floodplain Management. Much in the same way his time working in Street Outreach became Community Organizing.
Presidential candidates should stay away from natural disasters. It just looks smarmy. The people living the nightmare are suffering enough.

Health clinics offering abortions in Texas filed a federal lawsuit on Wednesday to block a new state rule that could shut down more than half of the state's remaining providers this fall, forcing women seeking an abortion in southern and western Texas to drive several hundred miles each way or go out of state.
The rule, part of a sweeping anti-abortion law passed last year, requires that all clinics providing abortions at any stage of pregnancy, including nonsurgical drug-induced abortions, meet the costly building standards of ambulatory surgery centers.
Only six of the state's 24 abortion clinics now meet that standard, which will take effect Sept. 1.
Also on Wednesday, a new law in Arizona to restrict medication abortions was put on temporary hold by a federal appeals court, which will decide as early as next week whether the limits should take effect until a challenge, brought by Planned Parenthood and other groups, goes to trial.
Proponents of the Texas law, including Gov. Rick Perry, a Republican, say the surgery center requirement will enhance patient safety. But the clinics, backed by major medical associations, say it is unnecessary and singles out abortion clinics for costly regulation when other, riskier outpatient procedures do not have to meet the same standard.
The new suit comes less than a week after a federal appeals court refused to overturn another provision of the 2013 law that has already forced several clinics to close, leaving the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas without abortion services. That provision required doctors performing abortions to have admitting privileges in nearby local hospitals, a rule that has proved impossible to meet in several smaller cities where clinics use visiting doctors. But the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, in New Orleans, held that the requirement did not pose an undue burden on access to abortion since many other clinics continued to function.
The effort to block the surgery center requirement may be more likely to prevail in the appeals court, legal experts said, if the clinics can show that it imposes still greater burdens on abortion rights, without commensurate benefits.
"The greater the evidence that this rule will cause more clinics to close, and leave large areas of the state without abortion providers, the greater their chance of success," said Caitlin E. Borgmann, an expert on reproductive law at the CUNY School of Law.
The mandates for surgery center standards and admitting privileges in the 2013 law, the new suit says, "are inconsistent with accepted medical standards, impose costs that are far in excess of any potential benefits and will dramatically reduce the number and geographic distribution of medical facilities in the state where women can access safe and legal abortion services."
The suit was filed in Federal District Court in Austin by the Center for Reproductive Rights on behalf of several abortion providers in Texas that have been forced to close, or could be in the months ahead.
The suit also brings a new, narrower challenge to the admitting privilege requirement on behalf of just two clinics, Whole Woman's Health in McAllen, which has already shut down, and Reproductive Health Services in El Paso, which fears it will have to close in May when a temporary hospital agreement expires.
Just before the law was adopted last year, about three dozen clinics provided abortions in Texas. Recently, as the admitting-privileges rule took effect, the number has fluctuated from 20 to 24. Six of them, in Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio, are licensed as surgery centers. In response to the rule, Planned Parenthood has started construction on a $5 million surgery center in San Antonio, where an existing center would be unable to meet the demand as other clinics close.
The centers need to be in larger cities in part so they can meet the other requirement, employing doctors with local hospital privileges. Abortions beyond the 16th week of pregnancy must already be performed in surgery centers, and that is not under challenge.
If the surgery center rule takes effect on Sept. 1, clinic owners say, the effects are likely to be the greatest on low-income women and women to the south and west of San Antonio.
Amy Hagstrom Miller, the chief executive of Whole Woman's Health, which also runs the surgery center in San Antonio, said it could not afford to meet the standard in other clinics because the construction costs could range up to $7 million each. In addition, she said in an email, surgery centers need to charge higher fees to meet expenses, while the shut-down McAllen clinic served many uninsured and poor women, offered subsidies and charged an average of $400 per procedure.
While some groups may raise millions to build surgery centers, she said, it is a pointless diversion from real needs. "Our long-term strategy must not simply be to comply and comply and comply with every new restriction," Ms. Miller said. "Putting millions of dollars into construction that could be used to offer direct care and services is a misuse of our precious few resources."

Recent reviews
Very good 8.2 From 35 reviews
Great location, comfy rooms. Air conditioning worked very well. The out of room, shared bathroom was the only less comfortable thing but really not a big deal at all. The host had a plethora of good information for us upon check in. Highly recommend!
Small B&B, had to communicate several times so they could meet us with keys but all ended up good. They were there to meet us so it worked out. Room had adequate beds and private bath was decent for the space. We only stayed one night but slept well enough. Lots of noise from both others in the B&B and street.
We had a clean comfortable room with private bath. Excellent location above the marketplace. Very close to the train station and easy walking distance to everything important in Florence. We very much enjoyed our stay!
Convenient for shopping and very near to the train station
Well kept, nice looking room. Clean, modern shared bathroom. Nice kitchen, with extensive dishes & cookware & a brand-new gas burner + microwave. Also basic spices, salt, pepper, tea, instant coffee, sugar. All free for use; though we only used them to make tea. No regular attendant, but they have extra keys to dining room/lobby area if you want to store luggage after checkout. Only downside was that the air conditioning didn't work well in 35 - 38 degree weather, so the room was a bit hot.

Doctor Harold Majolica and the Sideshow
All the lonely old bastards and freaks join a circus at some point. That would have been close to fact one hundred years ago, maybe even fifty. But today it seems unthinkable – a well educated bird from a clean, prosperous town was destined at one pivotal moment of misjudgement to adopt a gaggle of misanthropes and perverts as his family. For a short time, I am relieved to observe. I have a new job set up for me over in the next county west, but I don't want to think about that yet. It's not much more pleasant than my current employment, but I get to live in the one nest and the reek of failure is a little less Victorian in vintage.
I won't miss many of them for long. It makes a change to be employed somewhere with other animals, but most of them are from more exotic places than I and we don't have much to talk about. The lions boast tediously, the horses only seem interested in their costumes. Of the humans there were a few memorable characters. Develon the strongman has an acute lack of self esteem which I find endearing. One of the trapeze twins goes out of her way to be kind to me, the one with the slightly longer nose and crooked brow. I can never keep her name separate in my mind from that of her sour sister, her memory will fade quicker than I'd like. Richelle, Nadine, whoever you were; I am sorry. There is one who I feel will stay with me for long time – the unbelievable, the uncanny Garry "The Squawker" Davis. While working the drain on Gale Street as a Constricted Object Retrieval Specialist, I'd received my offer to join this circus from a greasy young lad, whose job I found later to be some strange merge between barker, stable boy and recruitment officer. He introduced me to the ensemble in the canteen as though I were the punch line to a joke they'd all been aching for. Nadine, or Richelle, (the shorter nosed twin) didn't even bother to hide her giggles when I was introduced.
As laughter subsided I noticed a fellow hunched over his meal at the dining table. A scrawny middle aged man covered in irony grey fuzz, with the tiniest paunch resting on his bone-thin frame like some monstrous pregnant belly. He wore no shirt. His legs were like knotted pipe cleaners, his arms may once have been similar, but they had been separated from his torso a long time ago. Now his shoulders ended in a pair of lopsided grey wings, a little shorter than my own had been. They spasmed and flapped sluggishly. His fork rested between the toes of his left foot.
We became friends, partly because everyone acted as though it had to happen. I juggled, quite badly, but no one in the audience seemed to mind since they'd never seen a crow juggle before. Garry's act was more sideshow. The wings gave him no talent or even visual intrigue being so grotesque and tiny. It was not enough for poor Garry to stand in the ring in the same way the bearded lady or three armed man could, their very presence giving enough gawp for any audience. Garry had to put on a show, his stage name "The Squawker" was part of a larger act. He pretended to be a simpleton with a country-gothic aesthetic, whose cursed bird appendages had given him a fixation with flight which his hilarious little bird wings only emphasised as futile. He'd lunge about the ring cooing and throwing himself off any structure he could climb arms-free. Part pratfall, part freak, part myth. He was quite popular.
Garry and I never shared a stage. I can't fly any better than he can with these weighty hands. Besides, Garry never showed any interest in putting an act together ourselves and, despite the prods and hints of the rest of the cast, the Ringmaster seemed ambivalent. Next Thursday I start my new job. I'll miss Garry, I'm sure of that – but I reckon I'll be happier if I never see such a sharp and misshapen reminder of my own mistakes ever again. But my own mistake: that's a story for another time.

Thursday 21 July – Holy Communion at St Giles
Gospel Matthew 13
When the Gospel is announced the reader says
Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to N.
All Glory to you, O Lord.
10 The disciples came to him and asked, "Why do you speak to the people in parables?"
11 He replied, "The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. 12 Those who have will be given more, and they will have an abundance. As for those who do not have, even what they have will be taken from them. 13 This is why I speak to them in parables:
"Though seeing, they do not see;
though hearing, they do not hear or understand.
14 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:
"'You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
15 For this people's heart has become calloused;
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.'
16 But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. 17 Truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.
This is the Gospel of the Lord.
All Praise to you, O Christ.
A commentary on this chapter starts remarkably: this discourse is not a solution to the problem of evil in general, but a solution to the rejection of Christ in particular.
Striking – I thought this part of Matthew as all about Jesus' teaching in parables. The heading is "Explaining Israel's Response."
I started sermon a fortnight ago with the words 'Parables are so stupid.' This from the lips of a teenager. It was about Parable of Sower. Why did sower broadcast his seed all over the path, rocks, shallow, choked and thorny soils with same abandon he use for good soil? Reason: it's not about agriculture. It's about spreading the Word. It's about God's grace, and how he treats all of us just the same, regardless of what soil type we are.
The Sower is one of only 2 parables with a clear explanation. Why doesn't Jesus explain all his parables, so we can be sure to understand? Why does he use this form of teaching at all? Is it just so the memorable images stick in our mind? Or is it more than that?
The Sower is also all about rejection. It was told as opposition to Jesus' message was growing. Even his own family rejected him. Only the crowds hung on his every word, and they would shortly turn and cry for his blood.
Rejection was illustrated by the poor soil types. They get just as much chance as anyone else to hear and accept the Word leading to God's Kingdom, but for one of many reasons they do not receive it and accept it.
So when Jesus answers the disciples' question and says: "The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them." – he's not saying the message has been deliberately concealed, but that for those hearers who are distracted, or who ignore it, or are too worldly, or for whatever other reason they reject it, - to them it is a secret.
When my mother used to teach me there were jolly unfair bits in the gospels, taking them out of context they were a secret to her because she had not fully understood what they meant. For her, the workers in the vineyard were treated unfairly and should be unionised. For her, it was wrong that: 12 Those who have will be given more, and they will have an abundance. As for those who do not have, even what they have will be taken from them." – but that was a literal interpretation, and not an explanation about the revelation of God's word through parables.
What is all means is this. Only those who hear the word and do the will of God will understand Jesus' parables. The so-called mysteries of the Kingdom are given by God's grace through the parables, which is why the teaching they contain falls on closed as well as open ears. The one who has ears to hear, let him hear. Amen
