Care instructions
Some tips on caring for your jewelry
Be careful with light and heat - Light and heat can affect a colored gemstone's durability and color
Exposure to chemicals can damage or discolor precious metals – gold, silver, and platinum – and may harm some colored gems. Even everyday substances like hairspray, lotion, perfume or other cosmetics can contain chemicals that will permanently damage the surface of your pearls and other delicate or porous gems (like turquoise). Fine jewelry should be removed before diving into a chlorinated swimming pool or before using household cleaners. Many of these cleaners contain ammonia, which can be too harsh for delicate gems or vintage jewelry.

It's a new dawn, It's a new day…Posted on Jan 05, 2011 under Challenge, Exercise, Goals, Weight | 1 Comment
Now that the holidays are over, the new year has begun and the routines are starting to fall back into place, it's time to focus again. I feel like the past year has been about me giving to other people. There was the pregnancy and literally giving myself to another person. Then there was newborn care, parenting three small children, nursing my husband through another illness and surgery and recovery, and the list goes on. What I did not do very well last year was care for myself. I had 2 haircuts in the entirety of 2010. One was in January, the other was December 30th. I bought myself a couple new pieces of clothing all year. I had zero massages. I had a couple nights out with friends but not enough. I had very few date nights with my husband which is something we both desperately need to stay connected. Overall, I did very little for myself. I took very little time to just do something for me. This carried over into my health as well. After the initial post baby weight loss, my weight basically plateaued the rest of the year. Low 160′s is seemingly where my body would like to be right now.
But 2011 is a new year and I'm unofficially dubbing it the Year of Me. I'm going to take time for me this year. I've already purchased myself two new pair of jeans (really, really needed after 1 pair sprouted a giant hole in the knee last week!) and used a Christmas gift card for two other new items of clothing. I have a gift card (from my truly awesome sister) for a massage but I'm going to have to complete another challenge before I'll let myself use it. Kris and I have some gift cards from Christmas to go on some date nights. We must make time for these. But I'm also going to make time for my health too.
New Year Challenge ending Friday February 4th: Tuesday and Thursday nights are work out nights for me when Kris gets home from work. If I'm tired or if there are house chores to be done, well, too bad. I'm worth it. I'm also going to get a workout in on Saturday and Sunday, even if it's a short one due to being busy. I'm worth it. I'm also going to watch my eating. I'm back to a schedule now with work and that should help to make it easier. I just have to remember that I'm worth it. That's it. Just make time for me to work out 4 times a week. It's achievable.
Annika asked me last week if I was pregnant again. When I told her no she asked why my belly is big again then. There is nothing like the truth spoken by a child.
So, my goal for this year, beyond taking time for myself both for my health and fitness and for my mental sanity (time to myself – massages – more than 2 haircuts!) and for my marriage is to finally hit my goal weight of 135 pounds. I'm giving myself the entire year to go from 164.8 (my weight this morning) to 135. This is achievable and realistic and Kris is on board with this and will no doubt support me as best he can.
Now it's up to me.
To take care of me.

If you've followed the blog for a little while, you'll know I get a lot of inspiration from my favourite chefs and cooks. Nigella Lawson, Jamie Oliver, Sophie Dahl, Nigel Slater, Rachel Allen, Bill Granger, Rachel Khoo, and my take on the Londoner's devilish Slutty Brownies… can you guess who's missing?
It's time for one of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's recipes!
I was so impressed and mesmerised by his series River Cottage Veg Heroes, in which he places vegetables at the centre of his diet. In that series, he created the most mouth-watering recipes; in fact they converted quite a few sceptics to vegetarianism.
The Chachouka Chow Chow drew my attention, not least because I couldn't figure out how to spell it (but the name sure is funny). Warming spices, tender, juicy peppers, the colours of Africa on your plate. Your house will smell of cumin for hours after you've had the last bite of your chachouka.
Serves 3-4 with bread, 2 as a main meal
Prep time: 5 mins
Cooking time: 30 mins
2 tbsp coconut oil
1/2 onion, minced
1 green chilli, deseeded ad finely sliced
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1 clove of garlic, finely minced
2 medium sized tomatoes (NOT beef)
200-250g tempeh, sliced into strips
3 large peppers, deseeded and sliced into strips
1 400g can tinned tomatoes
1 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp cayenne (or paprika) powder
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 small loaf (pecan and raisin) bread
Heat the coconut oil in a large, deep pan. Fry the cumin seeds for a minute before adding the onion, garlic and chilli. Fry for about five minutes, until the onion is translucid, before adding the peppers, tinned tomatoes and the rest of the spices. Let it all bubble for 20 minutes on low to medium heat.
Serve with a few slices of crusty, rustic bread.
* This dish is best served with a couple of slices of crusty bread. I suggest this recipe for a Pecan and Raisin Loaf I chanced upon while I was browsing the Circo website. Crusty bread crunching underneath your teeth and mellow peppers melting on your tongue — it's a magical combo. It's quite a sweet meal — ideal when you need a comforting end to a possibly harrowing day.
* If you don't like tempeh, you could try replacing it with fried tofu. If you want to make the dish even more wholesome, red kidney beans would be lovely, too, as they go so well with tomatoes and spices.

Steve just recently finished teaching another Paratext 2 course here in Ukarumpa. There were nine Papua New Guinean translators in the course, coming from five different languages and four provinces of Papua New Guinea (PNG). As you might remember, Paratext is the main software used to do Bible translation here, and learning it really helps these translators to translate the Bible into their own languages. In addition to learning about Paratext, they also learned more about God through daily worship, prayer, and devotions.
Here are some comments from the Paratext 2 students:
"I am very happy because the course has helped me more in doing translation..."
"My own spiritual life improved alot."
"It challenges me to use the skills that I learnt to do more in our translation project."
"This course gave me strength in my weak parts of the translation work."
"My own spiritual life improved alot."
"It challenges me to use the skills that I learnt to do more in our translation project."
"This course gave me strength in my weak parts of the translation work."
Answers to some of your questions about our return in June:
Why are you coming back to the States?
Our oldest son, David, will graduate in June 2018 and will need to go back to the States for college. Karah, who has been doing online college classes, will also need to start doing classes in person. We need to give them a stable home base in the States until they are ready to live on their own.
We did not know what our life looked like beyond serving in PNG for 2 years. We have been relying on God in faith to show us the steps along the way. Now that our time of returning to the States is upon us, we have made the decision (through much prayer, discussion, etc.) to return to Lynden, WA after David's graduation this June.
What about your role in Bible translation?
The last 2 years brought many new changes and opportunities to us. During this time we were allocated to Manus Island to help the Titan (pronounced TEE-tawn) people translate the Bible into their tok ples (heart language). The Titans have been praying for years for help and we had been praying to serve God where He was already working. Praise God for this allocation, because we will still be able to help them with their Bible translation from the States. We are NOT going on furlough, and we are NOT done with helping the Titans with translation. We are coming home with a REMOTE ASSIGNMENT of continuing to help the Titans.
What does remote assignment mean?
We love the Titans for a number of reasons. One reason is that they have computer skills and the ability to access the internet. This means we can work with them remotely from the States. Steve will also be flying back to PNG a few times a year to meet with the Titans in person. He will do this until we (together, WITHOUT KIDS) can go to live with the Titans in our house in the village of Pere. Empty Nest years for us will be spent helping the Titans, after our children are settled into their young adult years in the States.
How long will you be in the States?
Our youngest son, Jonathan, is now in 10th grade. He will finish 11th and probably 12th grade in the States, preferably at Lynden High School. So for a minimum of 1-2 years (never know for certain how long), we need to be in the States for him to graduate, and for Karah and David to get established in their young adult years.
Will you go back to PNG?
Lord willing, yes! Our plan right now is this: Steve is currently setting up a small house in the village of Pere with our Titan team on Manus Island. He has been, and will be, going out there to set up solar electricity and indoor plumbing so that we can live and work out there in a way that is sustainable for the long term.
In fact, Steve will be heading back to Manus in the next few days with two missionaries from our Computer and Technical Services department (pictured). They will install a solar power system, while Steve works on plumbing for our house in the village of Pere.
Please pray that:
- All will go well with the solar and plumbing install on this next Manus trip.
- Steve will be able to work some more with the translators on this visit.
- God will provide housing and a vehicle for us when we return to the States.
Steve, Mindy, Karah, David, & Jonathan Clover

It keeps the behaviour of the file untouched, but with its size reduced thanks to several recompression and optimization techniques.
- Suitable for home users that need to speedup file transfers no matter if they are in email attachments, P2P or shared upload servers.
- Suitable for webmasters to increase the page load speed.
- Suitable for web developers to reduce content weight.
- Suitable for desktop developers in any platform (Windows, Linux, MacOS, ...) to reduce distribution sizes and reduce load times.
- Suitable for mobile developers (Android, iOS, Windows Phone, ...) to reduce distribution sizes and reduce load times.
- Suitable for server administrators that could integrate FileOptimizer via commandline.
- Suitable for content creators and distributors to reduce content weights.
Drag the files you want to optimize to the files grid in FileOptimizer, right click with the mouse to open the contextual menu, and then click on Optimize. This will process all supported files added, and overwrite them with the optimized version.
Alternatively you can add the files and directories to process on the program's commandline, or dragging them to the executable file. A context menu for Add files, also does it.
By default, FileOptimizer will remove additional metadata, and other unneeded information, but will keep original files in your recycle bin just in case you want to further modify the originals.

Nice alternative to salmon served traditionally. I used ciabatta bread rather than sour dough. Simple. A keeper.

This was soooo good. Way better than I expected. Definitely a keeper! So fast and definitely delicious!

President Obama backs 'Gang of Six' deficit plan: Best Deficit Reduction plan so far
Glad to see President Obama finally show some leadership and take some action on the Deficit Reduction and Debt Ceiling issue. And actually come out in favor of a plan, the plan introduced by the "Gang of Six" in the Senate a Bi Partisan group of Senators led by Sen. Kent Conrad Chairman of the Budget Committee and Sen. Tom Coburn a very iimportant Republican Senator and Fiscal Conservative. This plan closes Tax Loopholes, cuts Military Spending but in a strategic way. But it sorta punts on the Tax Cuts for the wealthy and Entitlement Reform, where we could save hundreds of billions of dollars every year without hurting anyone. But apparently this is a 4T$ Deficit reduction plan over ten years, with serious Budget Cuts and Revenue Raisers. And if this were to come true, would get our Federal Debt and Deficit under control and I believe be a jump in the economy and strengthen our dollar. Which would also be a boost to the Stock Market. Not the plan that I would've written, because it does nothing on the Tax Cuts for the wealthy, Entitlement Reform or closing some of our Foreign Bases in Developed Countries that can afford to defend themselves. That we can no longer afford to defend with our debt situation and our own Foreign Policy issues. We'll have another opportunity within a year or so to save an additional hundred billion dollars a year to pay down our debt and deficit. By bringing our troops home from Afghanistan and Iraq, knock on wood as the saying goes. This is a hell of a lot better then the McConnell Punt from the Senate Minority Leader or Crap Carry and Bounce from the House Tea Party. And it shows that there are still some Members of Congress, at least in the Senate. That understand the debt issue, what needs to get done and which is as important. What can pass at least in the Senate and if the House GOP ever wakes up, what should be able to pass in the House as well. Because both sides will be giving up plenty to get plenty in return, Budget Cuts and Revenue Raisers, without having to make tough political choices on Entitlement Reform and Tax Hikes on the wealthy. Which is why this wouldn't of been the plan I would've written.
If I had to coin this Deficit Reduction and Debt Ceiling plan, I would call it The Comeback Drive, that got us back in the game so to speak. And bought Congress and the White House more time to deal with the tougher issues to win the game. And I'm done with sports analogy's, at least football for this blog. Its that time of year.

Among the last few continuations of this story. (I'm predicting maybe 13 or 14 parts in total.) Trigger warnings for relationship abuse and self-harm.
It worked — as much as you can call it that — for a while. I had control again, even if he couldn't see it at first. That control comforted me, even at the cost of tearing my skin and watching blood seep out of me. Which probably doesn't say good things about my mental health, but it did seem to work.
I want to say I stopped caring about what he did to me, though that isn't quite true. I still cared, but not in the same way. The comments and the hitting shamed and humiliated me, but I didn't spend nearly so much of my brain planning them out anymore. I stopped provoking, stopped inciting. I stopped playing by his rules; he stopped being in control.
Of course, this only infuriated him more. What he wanted, what he craved, was that control. Yes, he wanted to see my shame and tears afterward, but he also wanted to see my terror beforehand. When he couldn't have that anymore, it not only deprived him of power pleasure, but I think it actually made him scared.
"Class is going to be over soon," I commented dully one evening during our break.
"You think so?" he asked, falsely casual. "We haven't even discussed half the readings yet. You don't think it will go the full time?"
"I meant, the final exam is next week."
He started to massage my shoulders, a gesture that looked caring but that I'd learned could be made painful with relative subtlety. Worst case scenario, if I cried out, he could pretend it was accidental due to unknown muscle tightness. "Good call. Are you saying you want to make a study date? We haven't had one of those in a while."
I shrugged my shoulders into his hands. "We can do that if you want."
"Are you saying that isn't what you want?" He dug in nails.
It didn't hurt much, so I didn't move. "I just wanted to make sure you wanted to spend our last week of class together studying for an exam."
He bit my neck. It hurt, would bruise, but my hair would hide it. "What do you mean our last week together?"
"Of class, I said."
Mouth still close to my ear, he whispered, "That's not all you said. You said last week together. Do you not like me anymore?"
Well, no, I didn't, not like this. "Class is starting again." Everyone else had trailed in though the professor hadn't yet closed the door.
His hand at the back of my skull slammed my head into the corner of the brick wall. My vision whirled and sparkled for a few seconds. Instinctively, I brought one hand to my head and pressed the other into the wall as I stood up.
"I'll see you Friday at eight if that works for you. In the library." I stepped into the women's bathroom and didn't let the first tear come until the door swung shut behind me.
No one entered for several minutes, well after I'd locked myself inside a stall.
"Are you okay?" I recognized the voice of one of my classmates. "You've been gone from class a while."
I willed my voice calm; I managed exasperated. "Yeah. Genius me just managed to bleed through my pants again." Which wasn't true this time but had been before. More importantly, it was an awkward enough explanation as to escape further questioning.
"Do you need anything?"
May as well commit to the lie, I thought. "An extra pad if you have one."
"I only have tampons," she said apologetically. "Will those work?"
I brought my fingers down from my head; they were rusty brown with dried blood. "Thanks, but no. I think I'm just going to go home early tonight." I pulled off my jacket, the one I wore because school's classrooms were about fifty degrees by evening, and tied it around my waist.
"The last class before the exam? Are you sure?"
I raked my hair forward, hoping it covered whatever mark or mess was visible on my head. "If I have questions, I'll find the prof during his office hours." I came out of the stall and rinsed my hands, careful not to look in the mirror or at her. I don't know what she saw.
"I'll be fine, really." I left.

|Leaving Bucksport this morning with the full moon still hanging around in the brightening sky
So, instead of overnight runs through clear ocean water it has been day runs through the brown; Wrightsville Beach – Southport – N. Myrtle Beach – Bucksport – Minim Creek. We passed through Lockwoods Folly and the Rock Pile with nary a drama, and have a good plan for slipping over the Mud Flats instead of plowing our way through them. I don't think one can get enough practice at this sailing thing to be perfect at it, but a couple of years of practice sure seems to make it easier.
|The moon and the endless trees along the Waccamaw River
Minim Creek is out near the edge of the grid, though there has been a lot of little boat traffic today. Camo colored boats filled with camo dressed people. Given that we heard pretty loud gunfire several times this morning my guess is some kind of hunting season opened around here today. (That, or there was a Wal-Mart somewhere near and the Black Friday crowds are getting serious about their Christmas shopping.)
I have no idea what kind of hunting is done from little boats. In any case I was glad my jacket is bright yellow. Then again, maybe they hunt something big and yellow from little boats? Oh well, we are here safe and sound, and hope to be in Charleston before the weekend is out.
Even though we left Oak Harbor months ago and have traveled nearly 800 nm, it feels like we are - just now - getting back to our tribe of sailboat gypsies. With friends close behind and other friends ahead, it seems like nearly everyone is on the move. The chatter is of where we might meet and places we might go instead of the list of summer boat projects that lay ahead. Some are still working on projects. There are bimini tops and enclosures, mast work and rigging, bits of this and pieces of that still being finished by impatient crews. On Kintala the first thoughts of things that will need addressed next "work season" are already flirting around in the gray. (The Beast has taken to oozing more oil than normal, the list of teak bits that need attention is starting to grow, and the non-skid remains unpainted in spite of the best intentions of last summer.)
But, for now, most thoughts are about where to go, when and how to get there, and the friends that will be met along the way.
It is good to be back with the tribe.
|A boat school bus? Maybe it needs a coat of yellow paint.
|You see all kinds of boats on the ICW

Many patients with DM in Asia, South America, India and East Africa have traditionally used the water extract of unripe fruits of Momordica charantia (bitter melon) as some form of complementary and alternative medicine. Studies of laboratory animals have shown the beneficial blood-glucose lowering and anti-diabetic effects of this remedy. Some oral components that bring lower blood glucose level have been isolated : charantin (sterol glycosides), charantin (polypeptide) and cucurbine-type triterpenes. Part of their actions are related to AMP-activated kinase and repression of the oxidative stress that is increased in DM. Most clinical reports are not fully convincing due to the lack of randomized control studies. The present article reviews the pharmacological and clinical effects of bitter melon with special emphasis on the anti-diabetic effects, and some effects that would require caution in the context of human trials. No potential conflict of interest relevant to this article was reported. ニガウリ (bitter melon) Momordica charantia 糖尿病 (diabetes mellitus) 酸化ストレス (oxidative stress)

Several NIAID Category B select agents are pathogens capable of causing infectious gastroenteritis. In addition to their potential use in a bioterrorism attack, naturally occurring gastrointestinal illness is a major health concern. An estimated 3-4 million children below the age of five years die worldwide each year as a result of complications related to diarrhea. Every year in the United States, there are an estimated 211 to 375 million episodes of acute diarrhea resulting in 5,000 deaths. The number and diversity of diarrhea causing pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, and protozoa along with the similarities in clinical presentation pose significant problems for diagnosis and subsequent treatment. Current microbiological methods used to identify the responsible pathogen are often slow and laborious, requiring several days to obtain each result. Meanwhile, the patient remains undiagnosed, untreated, and possibly spreading infection. This results in individual patient suffering and a public health threat if an outbreak spreads undetected. Idaho Technology Inc. has developed the FilmArray Gastrointestinal (GI) Panel, an innovative molecular diagnostics device that streamlines gastrointestinal pathogen identification in individual human stool specimens. The FilmArray GI Panel simultaneously identifies 26 different analytes in ~1 hour (18 of which are NIAID Category B agents), and requires only a minimally trained operator to perform the test. The FilmArray GI Panel system comprises a uniquely designed """"""""lab-in-a-pouch"""""""", which together with the FilmArray instrument, automatically performs all steps needed for detection and identification of pathogens (from nucleic acid extraction to multiplex real time PCR and data analysis). The goal of this project is to determine the performance of the FilmArray GI Panel when testing clinical specimens, and to use this data (as well as data collected under a previous award) to create regulatory documents for the United States (FDA) and Europe (CE Mark). Regulatory clearance of the FilmArray GI Panel will allow the device to be used as an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test for GI illness in these regions. Establishing clinica performance of the FilmArray GI Panel will require testing of both prospectively collected, freshly tested specimens as well as preselected, known-positive archived specimens. The analyte status of the specimens (positive or negative for a given pathogen) must be determined by standard laboratory reference methods in order to calculate sensitivity and specificity for the FilmArray GI Panel. PCR reference methods will be required for testing of many analytes, and these PCR assays must be designed and validated. Thus, the main tasks will be to (1) design and characterize PCR reference methods for assessment of clinical specimens, (2) establish FilmArray GI system performance using prospective and archived clinical specimens, and (3) develop and submit regulatory applications.
A number of gastrointestinal pathogens have been recognized as potential biothreat agents due to their potential to cause severe and wide-spread outbreaks following deliberate or accidental contamination of food or water. In this proposal, testing will be conducted to support regulatory clearance for the FilmArray Gastrointestinal (GI) Panel, a rapid (~1 hour), automated, sensitive, user friendly, and inexpensive test able to detect 26 GI pathogens. A regulatory-cleared FilmArray GI Panel can be marketed as a diagnostic test that will speed up the time to correct diagnosis, improve the treatment of illness, prevent the spread of disease, and enhance the ability to monitor natural or bioterror-related outbreaks.

G is for Gifts
I am going to just say right now that this is going to be a short one. Because it's my second post today and because I am tired.
God gave us each gifts and talents. Figure out what they are. Use them. But not for your own purposes. For others. To serve them. To love them. To serve and love Him.
The end. :-) Happy Friday!

Mr. Lopez's plea for an education that educates is reprinted here from netrightdaily.com
On Dec 30, 2013
By Mario H. Lopez
Ask any parent what are the key factors that will help their children achieve the American Dream, and the top answer will almost certainly be a quality education. Sadly, for generations it seems that there has been a steady increase in bad headlines and alarming stories about the state of education for American children, especially in urban and underserved areas—precisely where it is most critical.
Yet there are inspiring success stories. In Hartford, one school in particular, Capital Prep, has managed to compile a record that is nothing short of outstanding.

Growing up in Buenos Aires, Argentina, María Celeste Medina watched her parents teach Informatics classes at her neighborhood schools. She recalls her mom using a bulletin-board system (BBS), long before the days of the Internet, to connect with people as far away as Antarctica over e-mail.
María Celeste herself dabbled in some web development as a youngster, building websites dedicated to her favorite hobbies: Japanese anime and Christmas. But she didn't seriously consider a career in Informatics like her parents until the time came in college to choose a major.
"I wanted to work with computers and understand how to create systems, and also have the possibility to grow personally and economically," she says. "The most exciting part of being a woman in technology is the analytical way of thinking which helps in every part of my life, from building applications to web platforms."
Today, as she pursues her own education at the Universidad Tecnologica Nacional, María Celeste is actively working on initiatives that help attract more women and other diverse demographics to the world of computer science.
She's the co-founder of Ada IT, a software development and testing startup which focuses on generating job opportunities for women. María Celeste won several rounds of seed capital funding through the IAE Universidad Austral Business School in Buenos Aires, which went towards starting Ada IT.
"When I won this seed capital, I had two choices: continue with my life as it was, or take the prize as a kickoff to start my entrepreneurial life," María Celeste says. "The most inspiring thing is to be able to reduce the gender gap in technology by creating real-world jobs for women in the software industry."
Through her position at Ada IT, María Celeste has become a visible and vocal proponent for making the tech community in Argentina more welcoming and inclusive for women. She has spoken at several public events and has been featured in the city's most formidable newspapers, Clarin and La Nacion.
She says she was inspired to create her own technology startup to create value for society and create real labor opportunities for her community. She also cites her parents as strong influences.
"We were raised with the belief that with effort and work everything could be reached," she says.
María Celeste is also actively involved in Programa tu Futuro, a coding initiative started by the government of Buenos Aires. In just one year, she has helped introduce more than 6,000 people to coding through mentorship programs and events around International Women's Day, including kids, adults, teenagers and senior citizens — 30 percent of whom are women.
María Celeste is also helping to organize a hackathon as part of Girls in Tech Argentina, where she's a board member.
"We're going to teach high school girls how to code and create mobile applications with the MIT App Inventor, visit some technology companies and hold a competition where they will present their mobile apps to a jury," María Celeste says.
María Celeste's contributions to the Buenos Aires tech community have positioned her as a strong role model to young girls pursuing careers in computing. For these girls, she has this piece of advice:
"Don't be afraid to do what you love in tech, especially if it's very technical," she says. "Be happy with your everyday work, and know that you can reach whatever you want."

Once again Anthony Gucciardi from Storyleak brings us a video exposing what gun control fanatics actually believe. The man he is interviewing doesn't seem to want to believe the facts, but rather inserts his own random statistics.
Hmm, wonder where he learned how to make up figures like that? Maybe he's been listening to President Obama's made up stats about 90% of American's wanting background checks. Once someone decides to believe their own facts instead of the REAL facts, their entire argument is baseless.
Watch the video of this gun control activists below and you tell us what you would have told him:
So no one has a gun in England, Australia, Japan, Holland, and India? In addition to a willing ignorance of the facts the man seems to think those countries are a utopia. If he looked at the actual statistics he would see that after gun bans went into effect in these countries the crime rate skyrocketed because criminals did NOT turn in their guns and had free reign in their crime sprees, but I don't want to let something pidly like the truth get in his way.
Besides having an amazing sense of fashion, the gun control fanatic seems to have a breakthrough at the end of the video. Anthony is able to get him to admit that the real solution is to "teach people and not ban everything".
Of course if you want a nanny state or live in martial law you would advocate banning everything a little at a time, kind of like some in our government are trying to do.
This survivalist expert is saying you should be hoarding these 37 things now, before the next crisis hits. Since stores only had 3 days worth of food and they can run out in just a couple hours, these 37 items are more vital than ever. Read more here.

In July 2005, four prisoners were executed by the
Palestinian Authority. There are 50 more
Palestinian-held prisoners under death sentences.
QUIT! issues the following statement, in solidarity with
Palestinian and international human rights
As supporters of full liberation
for the Palestinian people, we were very distressed to
hear of the recent execution of four prisoners by the
Palestinian Authority.
The death penalty is a severe human rights abuse.
As United States human rights activists, one of
our priorities is to eliminate this abuse in our own
The Palestinian people very know
well how much suffering is caused by disregard for
international human rights standards.
The international human rights community is
united in the belief that the death penalty is wrong in
all cases, and cannot have a place in a just society.
To quote the statement recently issued by the
Palestinian Center for Human Rights, "The right to
life is the most basic and fundamental of all human
. PCHR condemns the death penalty, irrelevant
of the justification provided for imposing it, and holds
that the right to life is sacrosanct."
QUIT! joins the call of PCHR,
Amnesty International and Btselem (The Israeli Center
for Human Rights In The Occupied Territories) for the
abolition of the death penalty in the Palestinian
Authority area. We
urge other groups in solidarity with the Palestinian
people to endorse this call as well.

Bees Want a Little Caffeine Kick with Their Morning Smoke
Kidding of course, but science discovered that caffeine boosts a bee's memory. Out on a picnic and notice bees buzzing your soda can? Like us, plants took a cue a very long time ago by adding it to nectar.
Many plants contain alkaloids such as caffeine and nicotine. Nicotine is found in 67 species of plant. Caffeine is in over 50 different plants.
These alkaloids are nasty tasting to herbivores and keep them from eating the plant, but the pollinators don't stop visiting. That begs the question, "Why". Pollinators don't like bitter, but at low concentrations, bees appear to prefer caffeine infused nectar. The same with plants containing nicotine, bees love it.
Coffea and Citrus plants add caffeine into their sweet nectar. So why is it added? For the same reason humans ingest caffeine, to enhance cognition, memory and stamina.
Simply with sensory stimuli, the plant basically makes its flowers easier for the bee to learn, find and remember. These plants developed levels of these addictive substances to aid in attracting, while not repelling bees. Science does not know if bees have a preference or an addiction to caffeine or nicotine.
So science spiked the bee's sweet nectar with a tiny drop of caffeine and found twice as many bees remembered the nectar scent of the treated flower three days later. Pretty cool, smarter bees, but not to mention, plants making sure the bees keep coming back!
Sleepy Bees Waggle Dance but a Slow Waltz
Who knew bees could be sleep deprived, but sleep deprived bees might be giving the wrong waggle. If their ability to communicate was diminished, this affected their efficiency of the nest-mates to forage by giving the wrong information.
How did scientists come to this conclusion? By scientists keeping bees up all night, bothering them continuously to the point of exhaustion. The bees were sent to forage, and upon their return, the scientists compared them to rested bees and watched them waggle. The rested bees were successful in sending the worker bees to the flower patch, but the exhausted bees made more errors when communicating the direction of the flowers rich in nectar.
Sleepy bees also have "difficult relearning", who knew? Without sleep, the bees' brains could not properly secure memories from the previous night, and the bees were forgetful. A cup of coffee might have given those sleepy bees a morning buzz. They should take a cue from the bees feeding on caffeinated nectar!
Bee Venom Gives a Knockout Blow to the AIDS Virus
Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri have uncovered the virus killing toxin in bee venom which can kill the virus of AIDS. Remarkably the technique not only kills the virus, it leaves surrounding cells intact. So far, they have only shown this successfully in vitro, but it could lead to a possible cure in living creatures someday. Currently, they are only focusing on developing preventive treatments.
"Part of what makes the HIV virus so difficult to kill is its tiny size. It's many times smaller than your average blood cell, which allows the sneaky virus to infect and kill white blood cells" says Before It's News — "the very cells that are supposed to rub out viral infections," says WebMD. More information on this fascinating discovery can be found here.
I have always been intrigued by bees from a very young age. Maybe we are programmed to see this creature as a miracle. It seems that much the bee comes in contact with, does or produces benefits us. Does this development not make you really appreciate the bee? How about wanting to make sure bees stay healthy and working?
Bees Get a Charge
Think caffeine is the only kick the bees are getting? Bees are also getting lured in by floral electrical fields sent out by those crafty flowers which react to the naturally charged bees. Honeybees usually possess a positive electric potential, where flowers often exhibit a negative potential. Hey opposites attract! It probably gives the sleepy bee a jolt too.
When bees are out flying around, air friction and the friction of their body parts causes the bee to become positively charged. When the bees lands on a flower, the negatively charged pollen just jumps on the bee and sticks like Velcro.
Bees get sweet nectar and flowers send off pollen. Any cue that increases pollination and foraging efficiency should be mutually beneficial to both parties, right? Right.
This study was reported in Science.
It is hard not to have respect for this tiny, remarkable creature. Bees rule!

How Effective Is The Program?
Multiple University and community trials have shown SAS to be effective in improving children's emotion regulation and social skills when delivered in clinic, school and home contexts.
Funding bodies are following the ever growing evidence base of SAS.
Research studies and implementation projects involving children with Autism, Anxiety Disorders, ADHD, Anger difficulties and other undiagnosed difficulties with social skills and emotions have included collaborations amongst universities, schools, and hospital clinics from around the globe.
Autism Spectrum Australia (ASPECT)
University of Queensland (Australia)
University of Sydney (Australia)
Westmead Children's Hospital (Australia)
Children's Hospital Los Angeles (USA)
Australian Mainstream Schools
New York Presbyterian Hospital (USA)
Monash University (Australia)
Buffalo School Districts (USA)
York University (Canada)
King's College (England)
Griffith University (Australia)
Geneva Centre for Autism (Canada)
National Educational Psychology Service (Ireland)
Children With Autism
Results from the initial clinic-based randomised controlled trial of the SAS Small Group Program (formerly called the Junior Detective Training Program) showed 76 per cent of children aged 8 to 12 years with Asperger's Syndrome who had clinically significant delays in social functioning improved to showing social skills within the range of typically developing children on a parent-report measure (Beaumont & Sofronoff, 2008). Improvements in social skills and emotion regulation occurred across home and school and were maintained 5 months after the program ended. This Australian study currently holds the most clinically significant change published in the world for a social skills program for children with High-Functioning Autism.
An independent evaluation of the SAS Small Group Program conducted in Autism Spectrum Australia (ASPECT) Satellite Classes across five NSW school districts showed that SAS led to improvements in the emotion regulation and social skills of students with Autism, with treatment gains maintained one year after the program ended (Einfeld et al., submitted). Results indicated that supplementing the school curriculum with SAS led to significantly greater gains in students' social-emotional functioning than the standard curriculum alone, with SAS shown to be equally effective irrespective of students' socio-economic status, verbal comprehension level, gender, or age (between 8 and 14 years). This three-year evaluation involved ASPECT collaborating with academics from the University of Sydney, University of Queensland, Monash University, Griffith University, Westmead Children's Hospital and King's College (London).
Multiple sites across the world have conducted community implementation projects demonstrating the benefits of using the SAS Small Group Program in local hospital and school services. These include the National Educational Psychology Service in Ireland, Geneva Centre for Autism in Canada, the Children's Hospital Los Angeles and Buffalo School Districts in the USA.
A Queensland-based trial of SAS was conducted in mainstream schools comparing the effectiveness of a variant of the SAS Small Group Program to the SAS Computer Game Pack. Results showed that both interventions led to improvements in the emotion regulation and social skills of students with Autism, although the small group intervention led to greater treatment gains (Beaumont, Rotolone & Sofronoff, 2015). The small group program participants also displayed reductions in child anxiety, improvements in student behaviour and enhanced parent and teacher self-efficacy.
Parent-directed variants of SAS, now known as SAS Remote have also been evaluated through the University of Queensland. Parents were supported by a trained SAS Facilitator via phone/web link, to deliver either a variant of the SAS Small Group Program (Sofronoff, Silva & Beaumont, 2015) or the SAS Computer Game Pack with results showing improvements in the emotion regulation and social skills of children with Autism. Results of a SAS Computer Game Pack randomised controlled trial are currently being prepared for publication. Guidelines for providing SAS Remote, including phone/online parent group coaching to parents wishing to help their child through the SAS Computer Game Pack will be coming soon through the Social Skills Training Institute.
Individual Delivery
Preliminary evaluations of individual delivery variants of the SAS Small Group Program in Australia (Tan, Mazzucchelli & Beaumont, 2015) and Canada (Thomson, Burnham Riosa & Weiss, 2015) have also shown positive findings for improving the emotion regulation and/or social skills of children with Autism. A randomised controlled trial of a variant of SAS that just focuses on teaching children how to recognize and manage their emotions (i.e. not social interaction skills) is currently underway at York University, Toronto.
Children With Other Social-Emotional Challenges
A pilot evaluation conducted at the University of Queensland has demonstrated the effectiveness of the SAS Small Group Program for children who have social-emotional challenges, but who do not have an Autism. This trial included students with learning difficulties, ADHD, Anxiety Disorder and those without any diagnosed psychiatric disorder. SAS was as effective for these children as for those with Autism (as demonstrated in previous trials), with significant improvements in children's emotion regulation skills, anxiety levels and social functioning shown. Results from this trial are currently being prepared for publication.
A multi-site randomised controlled trial of the SAS Small Group Program for children with Anxiety Disorders, ADHD and Autism is also underway through Weill Cornell Medical College, New York Presbyterian Hospital in New York.
Girls Relative To Boys
Findings from several trials described above have shown SAS to be as effective for girls as it is for boys. However, the Second edition, SAS Small Group Program materials have been updated with more girl-friendly graphics, activities and specific program content in response to feedback from children, parents and professionals.
Children Of Different Ages And Intelligence
Results from the ASPECT Satellite Class Trial and the initial clinic-based randomised controlled trial described previously showed SAS to be equally effective irrespective of a child's age (8-14 years in the ASPECT Trial; 8-12 years in the clinic trial) or IQ (a small number of students had mild to moderate intellectual impairments in the ASPECT Trial; all had an IQ at least within the average range in the clinic trial). The Second edition of SAS Small Group includes more simplified language and facilitator tips for tailoring to lower levels of intellectual and/or learning difficulties.

"The single most important thing"
There's lots of buzz these days about how Barack Obama would need to recalibrate his presidency in the wake of a major power shift on Capitol Hill. To my ancient ears, the buzz conjures memories of 1995, when Bill Clinton reinvented himself in the wake of Newt Gingrich's House Republican takeover by governing as a centrist, by doing deals with the Republican leaders. And now, nearly 15 years later, it feels as if the past is prologue; Obama is widely being urged to take the same route.
The problem, however, is that deals can't be done unless both sides compromise. In the House, from 1995 to 1997, Gingrich compromised. In the Senate, GOP leader Bob Dole compromised. But that was the old Republican party. The new Republican party, the one that is presumably poised to win back at least one congressional chamber, considers compromise to be a form of surrender.
Why do I say it? Because the Republicans are already signaling it.
In the new issue of National Journal, a Washington magazine, GOP Senate leader Mitch McConnell said that, in the aftermath of a midterm victory, he wants to "finish the job." The reporter then asked, "What's the job?"
McConnell replied: "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president."
He added: "Our single biggest political goal is to give our nominee for president the maximum opportunity to be successful." And he dissed the Republican leaders who did deals with Clinton: "We need to work smarter than we did (in the '90s)."
There you have it: what the GOP most wants to "achieve" is a partisan victory. In the short run, this is a blueprint for perpetual brinkmanship and gridlock.
And McConnell is hardly alone in his belief that bipartisanship is for wimps. Here's what Mike Pence, the rising House Republican star, said the other day on conservative talk host Hugh Hewitt's radio show: "There will be no compromise on repealing Obamacare. There will be no compromise on stopping Democrats from growing government and raising taxes. And I haven't been clear enough yet, let me say again: No compromise."
It's tempting to dismiss this as pre-election bluster aimed merely at ginning up and maximizing the tea-party vote; Pence knows full well that "repealing Obamacare" won't happen, not with Obama wielding a veto pen. It's standard practice on the eve of a midterm election for a party to rhetorically stoke its base. But what's really going on is far more profound. McConnell, Pence, and other elected Republican leaders are basically hostage to their tea-party base.
Starting next January (if we assume a GOP takeover of one or both chambers), any Republican who tries to work across the aisle with Obama is likely to be savaged by the base. Which means that the budget deal-making process would be quite fascinating. Out of necessity, Republican leaders would have to break bread with Obama simply to pass the budget. But what happens if the Republican leaders sign on to a red-ink budget that fails to radically slash the federal safety net? Would the tea-partiers insist, in the spirit of "no compromise," that the Republicans shut down the government instead?
Perhaps McConnell, in particular, can be excused for his rhetorical brinkmanship; like so many other Republicans, he may be living in terror of being primaried down the road by a tea-partier on his right flank. But for a Senate leader to declare that defeating Obama in 2012 is a more important goal than doing deals for the American people in 2011…well, I'll give the last word to talk show host Joe Scarborough, the former Republican congressman. As he said on the air yesterday:
"Mitch McConnell said that?!?…He admitted that on the record?!? That is embarrassing…Can I just say for the record – that is pathetic."
I had more to say today in an hour-long Live Chat on another website. I'm always happy to invoke Neil Young.

Despite the monsoon weather in San Sebastián this weekend, djDD and I still had a blast pintxo-hopping in Gros and walking it all off in the torrential downpour. Yes, we ventured all the way from the Euskotren in San Sebastián to the opposite side of town, multiple times in multiple monsoon-ish storms. Every bite counts:

"Para todo mal, mezcal, y para todo bien, también."
Who said Mexican food? Si por favor! La Fondita, from Rosewood Mayakoba, is an authentic replica of a delicious tostaderia most commonly found in Mexico City. Keeping in line with the Mexican style and flare of El Pueblito, La Fonditaoffers more than seven tostada varieties prepared with fresh and authentic ingredients.
Try classic Mexican combinations or venture out and taste bolder tostadas fusing Mexican flavor with gourmet ingredients. To get the party started, go for some Mezcal, the best way to beat the heat? A cold Mexican beer or the daily aguafresca.
Mezcal: A distilled alcoholic beverage made from any type of agave plant native to Mexico. The word mezcal comes from Nahuatl mexcalli [me??kal?i] metl [met??] and ixcalli [i??kal?i], which means "oven-cooked agave".

Last week, while at Target, we gave in and bought the kids snorkel gear (Meg just wanted new goggles) and the reds got new, thin swimming vests. They all practiced with their gear in the bathtubs for a few days. Today we went to the pool. The money we spent was so worth it. Look at this!!
Mattey never goes under water but here she is snorkeling! Kade was too. He swam the width of the pool several times, staying in the 3' section.

Great question!
Conventional (non-organic) cotton is one of the dirtiest crops in the world. Heavily sprayed with toxic pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, the cotton carries the residue of these chemicals, which are then exposed to a woman's delicate and absorbent vaginal tissue.
Organic cotton is grown without chemical pesticides and is completely natural and pure.
We want what is best for you and your body!

Blizzard.com does better, way better
Hello! I haven't been able to write anything on this blog for the past few weeks because of the high amount of work and deadlines I've been trying to chase. What can I say, I love what I do. I was set to launch two websites in three weeks but I'm basically done with one so my time is freeing up a little.
Back in August when I had just launched my site, I wrote about how Blizzard.com can do better with their website. I talked about how their website inspired me to learn web design and development a decade ago and how they seriously needed a makeover.

For one thing, I did not work a lot during the past week so I thought I might as well do something extremely productive with my time.

Wordpress vs Drupal: WYSIWYG Editors
In a past article, I've already talked about how Drupal bests Wordpress in out of the box page optimization techniques but also, how Wordpress is not far behind. Today, I'd like to continue my series by talking about how Drupal and Wordpress both differ in their implementation of WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) editors for content.
WYSIWYG editors seem to be standard issue these days. Blogging platforms like Blogger and forum packages like PHPBB have them pre-installed to help users add styling and HTML to their content. In content publishing, having those quick and handy buttons on the top help writers to quickly pull together styling the content without having to know any HTML or CSS.

Politicians on the Web
It's that time of the year when politicians start ramping up those television ads and candidates start declaring their intent to run for office. Yes folks, it's election season here in the Philippines and the web has become another battleground and platform which politicians can utilize.
As we saw in last year's US Elections, the web was a way that candidates could connect with voters (albeit, they had someone handling their internet presence) and was a platform for them to disseminate information. Judging by the highly successful Obama campaign and website, it seems that candidates can no longer ignore the web as a emerging information platform.

Wordpress vs Drupal: Page Optimization
As many of you know I use two well-known open source Content Management Systems (CMS) when developing websites, that is Wordpress and Drupal. These are two of the top guns when we talk about CMS's. As with any job, there is always the best tool. Sometimes Drupal is the right choice, in other instances, it's Wordpress. They both have a place in building awesome websites.

The Living Room Photography Studios
Yesterday, two of my friends and clients Dwight Co and Mye Chung opened their new Photography studio right here in Metro Manila. It's called the Living Room Photography Studios and it's located along P.Guevarra. If you are interested in finding a place to shoot, this is a fantastic place to do it and I'm sure you'll love what they got.
Aside from being a photography studio, they offer photography lessons for all the hobbyists out there. With the dramatic decline in the price of photography gear over the last couple of years, this is an affordable way to finally get the most out of your camera and to hone those budding skills.

Why you should be using HTML powered E-mails
We've all seen them and admired them, or for many, are annoyed by them. Yes, I'm talking about those HTML e-mails which look like a website has been torn and brought right into your inbox. For many of us we will recognize them as the newsletter we get from our favorite online shops or the nice looking alerts we get from our social sites. Unfortunately, sometimes they take the form of unsolicited mail we get offering us a new product we don't need.
Albeit annoying, no one can deny that the impact of an HTML powered e-mail can bring to mail we do want to have. If your a freelance worker or a small to enterprise business operation and have not considered sending out HTML powered e-mails for official business, I give you two important reasons why they should be considered.

Tom Shakespeare, who was my chair when I was at Arts Council England, North East, has just made a Radio 4 'Great Lives' programme about Antonio Gramsci, the Italian communist and writer who I think about as one of the best left writers on culture. You can listen to Tom not quite persuading former Tory MP Matthew Parris here. You can also read a short biog on Tom's excellent site our statures touch the skies, which features his short biographies of notable disabled people.
Anyway, here's the quote, which when I read it made me think, yes, that's one of the closest things I've read to how I think and feel about culture.
Culture is about 'organisation, discipline of one's inner self, a coming to terms with one's own personality; it is the attainment of a higher awareness, with the aid of which one succeeds in understanding one's own historical value, one's own function in life, one's own rights and obligations'.
Maybe it's me, but 'coming to terms with one's own personality' feels far closer than some other 'intrinsic' descriptions for what reading and writing have helped me to do.
Anyway, at least now I can take down that post-it! (The Scritti Politti song above was my first introduction to Gramsci, to whom their name was a homage, and his key idea, hegemony. Oh the days when listening to John Peel and reading the NME was an intellectual education...)
