Amid perceptions of political motives behind the deployment of Prosperity Teams (Pro-Teams) in some twenty-three towns, top officials of the police, army and the provincial government yesterday defended the peace and development program initiated by Governor Edgar Chatto.
Col. John Bonafos, commander of the Philippine Armys 802nd Brigade; SSupt. Constantino Barot Jr., PNP provincial director; and Provincial Administrator Alfonso Damalerio II all said that they see no political dimension in the deployment of Pro-Teams in 55 barangays in 23 municipalities.
The decision to put up Pro-Teams in selected barangays is not based on political considerations, but was a result of studies made by a technical working group composed of different provincial government agencies, the PNP and Army, Damalerio explained over a radio interview.
Pro-Teams are mainly conducting peace and development operations which helps particular communities, from the purok level through the implementation of the Purok Power Movement (PPM), and sustain Bohol as an insurgency-free province by also putting in place tools for livelihood and other basic services, said Bonafos in a separate interview.
Earlier, Carmen Mayor Conchita Delos Reyes ordered Pro-Teams assigned in barangays Montesuerte and Villa Arcayo in her municipality to cease their activities and conduct their program instead in other towns which the lady mayor considers less progressive such as Balilihan the hometown of Gov. Chatto.
Delos Reyes, who is eyeing a gubernatorial bid in next years mid-term election against Chatto, apparently views the presence of Pro-Teams in Carmen as a political ploy of the incumbent governor.
Catigbian Mayor Roberto Salinas shares a similar view saying the Capitol-initiated program is a waste of government funds since it just duplicates existing programs in their barangays.
However, Damalerio explains the Pro-Teams monitoring group have not received such adverse comments from the other 21 municipal mayors where they are implementing the program.
Except for the Carmen and Catigbian mayors, there are no negative feedbacks or complaints so far from the other mayors, but just the same, we will continue to monitor and evaluate the implementation of the program, Damalerio added.
He said the two mayors may have misinterpreted the genuine intent of the program which operates through the recommendations of the PNP and the Army components.
SSupt. Barot on the other hand clarified that Pro-Teams are trained to be rural development specialists and have no political orientation of sorts.
If Mayor Delos Reyes thinks our teams in Carmen should stop the program, then we will have to respect her decision. Right now we still have to consider how to utilize the trained personnel so they may be deployed in other areas, Barot said.
According to Damalerio, all municipal mayors were invited during the launching of the program which officially took effect in July 2011, on the occasion of the Bohol Day commemoration where the governor signed an Executive Order for the program in support of the national governments PPM.
Since then, trainings and workshops were conducted for personnel who will compose the Pro-Teams which eventually saw its initial deployment sometime in October and November last year.
The program has been in the pipeline even before talks of 2013 (election) surfaced, Damalerio added.
The Pro-Teams are composed of peace and development teams (PDT) comprising military personnel, and the Community Organizing for Countryside Development (CO-CD).
The main effort is the task of the CO-CD undertaken by its 30 employees, while the Special Forces of the military field 60 personnel to undertake support effort, and 15 police non-commissioned officers (PNCOs) take charge of another layer of the support effort.
Each team is composed of two members from the CO-CD, four from the Special Forces, and one police officer.
When told of Mayor Delos Reyes comments that Pro-Teams assigned in Carmen should be sent to Balilihan instead, Damalerio said there are three teams in said town.
We still believe in the intentions of this program; that it is for the good of our communities and it is important that the gains we have achieved in eradicating insurgency in the province be sustained through the Pro-Teams, Damalerio said.
Bonafos bared that based on their intelligence reports communist legal fronts have been trying to re-establish their strongholds in areas they have previously controlled one of which is Carmen.
The proactive measures implemented through our Pro-Teams, with the help of our stakeholders and the local government units, can prevent the resurgence of armed groups and formerly communist-influenced areas, Bonafos said.
Damalerio assured that Pro-Teams will continue to implement their tasks and objectives not only to maintain peace and stability but also to promote development in the barangay level.

Zipi y Zape
Josep Escobar Saliente, who is considered one of the pioneers of Spanish comics, published his first cartoons when he was fourteen years of age. For years he combined his work as an illustrator with a job at the post office. At the end of the Civil War, in 1939, Escobar focused completely on drawing. Soon he became one of the main collaborators of the publisher Bruguera and the magazine Pulgarcito, where he started his two most famous series: 'Carpanta' and 'Zipi e Zape'. This last series had a big resemblance to 'Max und Moritz' and 'The Katzenjammer Kids'.
At the same time, Escobar created lesser known characters, like Petra, Doña Tula, the dog Toby, the duo Don Optimo and Don Pésimo, and the super-hero parody Plim el Magno. In 1957 he was one of the co-founders of Tio Vivo, for which he also created 'Blasa, la Portera de su Casa'. He also published in La Olla and España de Tanger, and set up an art correspondence course.
He multiplied his side-activities with drawing caricatures, press illustration and working in the animation field. Many of his works has been collected in album publications. Until the early 1990s, he continued to work on his major characters, 'Zipi e Zape', in periodicals like Zipi y Zape ad Super Zipi y Zape.

Jelly-Filled Cupcakes With Peanut Butter Frosting
- Baking spray with flour
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
- 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 cup grape jelly
- Peanut Butter Frosting, recipe follows
- Candy bars, crushed with a rolling pin, such as Reese's Pieces, Butterfinger, Nutter Butter, Heath Bar, or small sandwich cookies, for decorating
- Peanut Butter Frosting:
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons milk
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line one 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper cupcake liners. Gently spray the liners with baking spray and set aside.
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt over a large piece of paper. In a large bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar with a hand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, egg yolk and vanilla. Reduce the speed to low and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Pour in the milk and continue to mix until smooth (the batter may look curdled at first but will smooth out). Pick up the paper with the dry ingredients and gradually pour into the wet ingredients. Continue to mix just until blended.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared tin, filling the cups about three-quarters full. Bake until the tops of the cupcakes spring back to the touch and are not too golden, about 20 minutes. Cool in the tin for 15 minutes, and then allow to cool completely on a wire rack before filling, frosting or decorating.
Fill a squeeze bottle with the grape jelly and screw on the cap. Carefully insert the tip of
the squeeze bottle as far as it will go into the tops of the cupcakes. Gently squeeze about 1 tablespoon jelly inside of each cupcake. Ice the tops of the cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting to cover. Decorate with your favorite candy.
Beat the peanut butter, butter and cream cheese with a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Slowly add the confectioners' sugar and continue to mix until the frosting is smooth. Mix in the milk and continue to mix until it reaches a good spreading consisting. Makes 1 1/2 cups.

Judy Rohrer is an Assistant Professor in Diversity and Community Studies at WKU. She earned her Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Hawai'i in 2005, and her B.A. in Political Science from Bryn Mawr College in 1989. After the completion of her B.A. and during her graduate studies, she worked for progressive nonprofits and activist organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area. She is an interdisciplinary scholar with interests in indigenous studies, critical race studies, feminist theory, LGBTQ studies/queer theory, and disability studies.
Dr. Rohrer's third manuscript, Staking Claim: Race and Indigeneity in Hawaiʻi is being released in spring 2016 through The University of Arizona Press. It brings together an analysis of racial formation and colonization in the islands through a study of legal cases, contemporary public discourse, and Hawai'i scholarship. In it, Rohrer argues that the dual settler colonial processes of racializing native Hawaiians (erasing their indigeneity), and indigenizing non-Hawaiians, enable the staking of non-Hawaiian claims to Hawai'i.
Queering the Biopolitics of Citizenship in the Age of Obama, Dr. Rohrer's short monograph, was released in September 2014 through Palgrave MacMillan. It furthers an evolving discussion of what it means to be an American citizen in the Obama era and demonstrates the importance of developing an understanding of the machinations of governmentality and biopolitics in the (re)production of the (proper) citizen.
Professor Rohrer's first book, Haoles in Hawai'i, was published in 2010 through the University of Hawai'i Press. It is the first volume in a series on race and ethnicity in Hawai'i. The text strives to make sense of haole (white person/whiteness in Hawai'i) and "the politics of haole" in current debates about race in Hawai'i. Recognizing it as a form of American whiteness specific to Hawai'i, Rohrer argues that haole was forged and reforged over two centuries of colonization and needs to be understood in that context.
Professor Rohrer has published and lectured on race and colonization in Hawai'i, gay marriage, disability studies, and citizenship in a variety of venues. A selected list of publications and lectures follows:

Skip to comments.Mind Over Matter: Debunking Alternative Medicines
Posted on 07/03/2013 12:49:19 PM PDT by EveningStar
When Dr. Paul A. Offit published Autisms False Prophets in 2008, he elected to skip the usual round of book signings. His defense of childhood vaccinations so enraged some people who consider them a cause of autism that he was getting credible death threats.
Others might have chosen to flee the public arena after that, but not Dr. Offit, the chief of infectious diseases at Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia, whose appetite for the good fight seems only to have grown. Over the last decade he has become a leading debunker of mass misconceptions surrounding infections and vaccines, and now he is taking on the entire field of alternative medicine, from acupuncture to vitamins.
(Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ...
Reviews of Do You Believe in Magic?: The Sense and Nonsense of Alternative Medicine at Amazon
So we've learned more in the last 200 years than was learned in the previous 5000?
Well, yeah.
I have tried many supplements that did not work. I have tried a few that do work. I take those daily.
I have seen some of these remedies work in infants, animals, and yougsters who did not know they were receiving them. It is not all self-suggestion.
In many disciplines that is true. In fact, in many disciplines, we have learned more in the last 100 years than the previous 5000.
In most cases they've learned how to mask symptoms but cure few diseases. They also prevent very few and do nothing to prevent disease.
Is all alternative medicine valid? no
Is all of it useless? No
I've met many a western medical doctor who could do nothing but prescribe pills.
We've relied on Hyland's teething tabs for years. Most of the time, as infants, my kids never even knew when they were getting them. They always calmed down within five minutes and rested so well. The bonus was they were a fraction of the price of even generic acetaminophen and ibuprofen. I type "were" because the FDA made Hyland's start labeling them after 50 years of being on the market. Of course the company had no choice but to pass the price increase on to the customer.
Absolutely! Just a few hundred years ago, the majority of doctors thought that the idea that infections are caused by germs was ludicrous.
Agree and the short list changes from person to person so its validity is always is question.
The best alternative medicine is a healthy diet of fresh foods, regular vigorous exercise, no smoking and limited alcohol. Eat right, move, and don't work at killing yourself.
My wife bought those Hylands teething tabs for our first son. In our experience, they made no difference at all.
And in the last ten years caffeine has been bad for you then no problem, and now it has health benefits. Cholesterol was thought to be the cause of blocked arteries, but now inflammation is the culprit.
You are the first person ever to tell me that. Usually when I say "teething tabs" near parents they comment about what a God send they are. I recommend them to everybody, and I've always received back a positive reaction.
While I agree that there is insufficient research to support vaccines as the cause of autism, throwing the baby out with the bathwater on all alternative medicine is not the solution.
I've been asked to publish a book on my research relating to psychological defense mechanisms and the resulting medical symptoms. It's finally time. It's not that hard to understand mysticism and how Jesus did his healings. While I would never compare myself or others to the "Greatest Teacher " ever, He was a teacher and came to teach us "How to do the things that He did and more in His name."
Too many Christians say Jesus is their savior and treat Him like a lifeguard who can pluck them from drowning. In the interim they fear water (death) and never learn to swim.
While Jesus can pluck us out after death, He would much sooner that we learn from His teachings and grow to heal ourselves.
The greatest healing of the body results from healing the soul.
Doctors bury their mistakes, both now and 200 years ago.
He considers vitamins to be a hoax too? Basically that is saying that nutrition is a hoax. Will his next project be to prove that fats, proteins, carbohydrates and water are a hoax?
Remember when eggs would kill you? The war on saturated fat is still ongoing, yet coconut oil is one of the healthiest for us.
Thank you! Let's not forget to question all information put forth by those with agendas, and I mean agendas on both sides if the aisle! Remember that scientists, doctors and experts have tried to hammer into us global warming and a fetus isn't a baby.
This is a concerted media prelude to reintroducing Codex Alimentarius.
It's been defeated many times in the past but maybe this time they've got enough dirt on enough congresscritters they're certain it will pass. Or maybe they've met the price of the rest of them.
They're just laying the preliminary ground work to get the LIV's to accept it as in their best interests.
In most of Europe multivitamins only contain 150% of the RDA and come in expensive bottles of 30 only. So if you've got a documented SNP involving methyl donor metabolism you're screwed.
At least sunshine is still free. For now.
***the majority of doctors thought that the idea that infections are caused by germs was ludicrous. ****
You mean it is not caused by bad air (Miasma)?
"Ive met many a western medical doctor who could do nothing but prescribe pills."
Western doctors do all sorts of things besides prescribing pills. They can tell you to get at least 30 minutes of vigorous excercise every day. They can tell you to eat less fat, red meat, and sugar and more green vegetables. They can tell you to reduce emotional stress. No one listens. That's not the fault of western medicine.
I expect that you are right. Follow the money. This goes hand in hand with 0bamaCare. Total control of people's lives.
We have alternative medicine guy who is all over the radio locally. I think I agree with him about 60% of the time. I'm all for trying diet and nutrition over prescription drugs and surgery whenever possible.
On the other hand he rails against fluoride. I think it's contribution to improving dental health is pretty well established at this point.
"No one listens. Thats not the fault of western medicine."
bah! way to give a simplistic answer to a complex question.
MDs are very good at Symptomatic treatment.
Poor patient compliance is just as much of a problem for an herbalist as well. They don't work if you don't take them and take them properly.
People with a lot of money and a self-serving agenda are capable of hijacking just about anything. Politics, government, medicine, education, etc.
" I think its contribution to improving dental health is pretty well established at this point."
Its also pretty well unnecessary because of changes in the diets, culture, and hygiene practices of Americans.
Likewise witch-doctors, wise-women, medicine-men and faith-healers.
They also all bury their successes.
I switched over about four years ago to what some now call a pure foods diet. It's very sensible foods....some processed foods are okay, manufactured ones are not.
It's getting easier to choose decent foods, as more people become aware. The unintended consequence is that it's very easy to avoid over-eating. Pure foods get into your system very quickly so you're not hungry. The trick is to NEVER eat stuff your body shouldn't ingest.
That includes avoiding pharmaceuticals.
Smallpox. Diptheria. Cholera. Plague. Dysentery. Typhus. Typhoid. Scarlet fever. Tetanus. Pertussis. Syphilis.
I think plumbers and engineers had as much to do with wiping out a few of those diseases as doctors did.
Here half a century and still no cavities.
Water seal flush toilets with post flushing sanitary isolation from water supplies and food has done a lot to prevent the spread of disease.
Not to mention that people used to routinely die from what we now consider minor infections.
Maternal mortality rates used to range from 10% to up to 50%, though admittedly the high end was due to late pre-modern hospital procedures.
Absolutely. But we can cure most of them if somebody comes down with it anyway.
I will only see a D.O. or MD who uses natural remedies and practices the eastern variety of medicine-and then only if I'm badly injured or dying-and I know a very good Chinese acupuncturist. I take vitamins and supplements, don't eat processed food, don't weigh much for my height, and both my work (construction) and my lifestyle-living alone in the country-require physical labor. I do like wine or beer and a cigarette two or three times a month or so. And I do believe totally in the power of prayer.
We should make our own choices-not have them made by a nanny government-and be responsible for those choices-if you consent/buy into taking the drug, then the consequences are yours to accept-not anyone else. It would cut down on the prescription drug abuse problem, the lawsuits, and everyone might just live a healthier, happier life-but that is just my opinion...
Sounds like Dr. Offit is one of the good ones.
Absolutely. Just to pick one subject out of many, try comparing any pre-1814 book on astronomy to a modern one.
Has more to do with hygiene and diet then fluoride in the water.
few does not equal none.
Yeah. I would add that my maternal ancestors who had their babies at home with midwives had much much lower mortality than those who had their babies in hospitals prior to the advent of antibiotics. I only counted one 'country mom' who lost her life in childbearing in the 150 years prior to 2000. And that was her first. The first baby was the litmus test apparently.
Both my parents were born at home. I asked my grandmother once why she had my mom at home, in 1941, when there was a hospital literally 2 blocks away. She got a horrified look on her face and said hospitals were death traps prior to antibiotics and nobody went there unless they were near to dying. My great aunt was a RN and was the assist at my grandmothers births prior to the doc getting there.
Antibiotics are great things. Proper sanitation ensures they're not unnecessarily overused and invalidated via resistance mechanisms.
Absolutely. Soon alternative medicine may be the only option if the govt decides you arent worth spending money on.
Egyptians were doing brain surgery.
Western medicine is better at some things. They are much worse at others.
Actually, it was prior to the advent of handwashing.
Puerperal fever, the great maternal killer, was almost always a result of poor attendant sanitation.
Hospital mortalities declined significantly post introduction of sulfa drugs and even more significantly post antibiotics.
My mom was one of the first kids in this state to receive antibiotics after surgery for appendicitis.
But yeah, Semmelweis was a genius. Too bad the 'establishment' shunned his ideas and killed women for decades afterwards.
So much for established medical 'consensus' being the best guide for effectiveness.
That worked out great for the H. Pylori guys too. They nearly lost their licenses to practice with that idea. Who ever knew most ulcers might have a bacterial cause.
Good thing consensus was wrong then too. My hubby was treated for that.
I will not drink water with flouride-I drank bottled water in the city because of it. I've heard that some cities are discontinuing the fluoride in their water-must be a reason. Why not stay away from the sugary stuff, brush and floss, and teach the kids to do the same? People's teeth aren't the government's business, any more than what we eat or drink is...
Unfortunately, Semmelweis was also a world-class jerk.
If you're far ahead of your time, it's a good idea to not be so confrontational about it that people reject your ideas because they can't stand you.
Or at least that's my explanation for why my ideas aren't more widely accepted.

Well the way the auto trigger works will all depend on the marker
Posted 11 February 2013 - 12:09 AM
^ yup, although I'm going to assume cocker, as Nelson's have them built-in, in which case just get the ccm autotrigger kit. From my understanding making the autotrigger itself isn't hard (and I couldn't imagine it being difficult, I could probably make one by hand) but god have mercy on your soul if you try and drill into the side of a pump rod.
what did I tell about doing that?

Surprisingly $100 Spyder Hammer 7 has one. Mighty tempting to get one...

Isn't the hammer a Nelson? (haven't seen the internals yet, just assuming) but if that's the case then ALL Nelson's are inherently designed with an a/t into them....so it's not as though kingman went out and added an autotrigger into the gun.

One more time: thumb-sucking still not a big deal
In a recent column, I said thumb-sucking is not, as was once thought, a sign of insecurity or other psychological problems. Well-adjusted children suck their thumbs and grow up to be well-adjusted adults.
My daughter, who began sucking her thumb minutes after she was born (I think she used it to pass the time in utero), occasionally sucked her thumb to get to sleep when she was in high school. One time, when she was home from college, I checked on her around midnight and there she was, fast asleep with her favorite digit in her mouth. Today, Amy is a happily married homemaker with three children. She no longer sucks her thumb. She hasn't the time.
I much prefer children sucking their thumbs to pacifiers, which have been shown to interfere with speech development as well as the ability to self-comfort. Thumbs have never been associated with speech problems, and they are an ideal form of self-comforting.
Fathers are prone to having a peculiar anxiety reaction when their sons suck their thumbs. I suppose they think this is the straight path to effeminacy, or becoming a momma's boy, or something equally unmanly. No statistics exist on the number of SEALs or SWAT team members who sucked their thumbs as children, but I would venture to guess the percentage approximates that of the general population. Occasionally, I run into folks who tell me that hot sauce or mittens or dental appliances persuaded their kids to stop sucking their thumbs, but I meet a whole lot more parents who tell me that stuff didn't work. We tried a dental appliance for a few weeks on Amy when she was a preschooler. She simply adjusted the position of her thumb to avoid the poisoned spikes and went right on sucking.

Wearing the Moneymaker, actor Barry Tubb watches John Wayne Film Festival go big time
During the weekend, John Wayne's DNA was everywhere as several of his kids and one of his grandkids hit Dallas for the John Wayne Film Festival. But the one person who had the Duke's swagger, the Duke's never complain/never explain mien, was actor/director Barry Tubb of Lonesome Dove and Top Gun fame.
It was Tubb who founded the festival in his West Texas hometown of Snyder. But this year, the small-town event moved to the big city where it brought in serious money (still being counted) for the John Wayne Cancer Foundation.
That was in large part due to this year's co-chairs, book agent David Hale Smith, and film buffs Anne and Steve Stodghill. Steve is vice chairman of the National Council of the American Film Institute, which might explain the presence of AFI president and CEO Bob Gazzale at opening night.
Tubb attended the opening at the post-screening party at Gilley's in his well-worn white cowboy hat that he refers to as "The Moneymaker." A former junior champion bull rider, Tubb purchased the hat in 1984. "I cashed my per diem check from The Legend of Billie Jean and bought it. I was wearing it when I auditioned for Lonesome Dove. If this hat could talk, I'd be dead."

Pepperdine to Induct Ctvrtlik, Wilde into Hall of Fame
B.J. Hoeptner Evans
Manager, Media Relations and Publications

E-Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Oct. 23, 2009) – U.S. Olympic volleyball gold medalist Bob Ctvrtlik and Olympic coach Rod Wilde will be inducted into Pepperdine University's Hall of Fame in a ceremony on Sunday (Oct. 25).
The ceremony will be held at the Warner Center Marriott in Woodland Hills, Calif. A reception will be held at 5 p.m., with dinner and the awards presentation at 6 p.m.
Ctvrtlik played one season with the Waves (1985) following two seasons at Long Beach State. He led the Waves, under coach Marv Dunphy, to their second NCAA championship. He was named the National Player of the Year and the MVP of the NCAA Tournament. He was also named All-American first team and All-SCIVA first team. He led the Waves in kills (424), digs (103) and service aces (27) that season.
Ctvrtlik went on to play in three Olympic Games, winning the gold medal in 1988 and the bronze in 1992.
Ctvrtlik has served as the Vice President of International Affairs for the U.S. Olympic Committee and was a member of the International Olympic Committee. Most recently, he served as the Chicago 2016 Olympic bid committee vice chair.
Wilde played setter for four seasons (1976-79) at Pepperdine. He was named to the All-American first team three times. His teams shared two SCIVA titles and went to the NCAA Championships three times He made the NCAA All-Tournament Team in 1978 when the Waves won their first national championship. He was a four-time all-conference selection (twice on the first team).
Wilde later served as Pepperdine's men's volleyball head coach from 1986 through 1988 when Marv Dunphy was coaching the U.S. National Team. Wilde's Wave teams went 58-27 and won the 1986 national championship.
Wilde was a member of the U.S. National Team and was an alternate on the 1984 Olympic squad. He served as an assistant coach for the U.S. teams at the 1996 and 2000 Olympics. He has worked as the men's head coach at UC San Diego, the women's head coach at Drake and an assistant women's coach at Wisconsin.
"The Pepperdine Athletics Hall of Fame is enriched each year as we continue to add some of the most distinguished and accomplished student-athletes in the program's history," said Pepperdine Director of Athletics John Watson in a press release. "These are seven individuals that are very well deserving of this honor. We look forward to honoring them and recognizing their achievements, both what took place at Pepperdine and in their professional lives."
The Pepperdine Athletics Hall of Fame was established in 1980. These seven will join 77 individuals and 12 teams that have already been enshrined.
To be eligible for induction, nominees must have competed, coached for or rendered an extraordinary service to Pepperdine University Athletics. After a list of nominations was gathered, Pepperdine's Hall of Fame Committee made the decision on this year's inductees.

Toast of the Nation New York - The Place
December 31, 2007. Posted by Joshua Jackson.Add new comment | Filed under: ben allison, blue note new york, chick corea, chick corea new trio, chief monk, danny meyer, field producer, gary burton, herbie hancock, herbie hancock quartet, jazz standard, joshua redman, kora player, manhattan neighborhoods, mason dixon line, millenial, seth abramson, steven bernstein, toast of the nation, Toast of the Nation 2007/2008, village vanguard
The Jazz Standard's address is 116 East 27th Street in Manhattan, between Park Avenue and Lexington Avenue. The club seems to exist in some type of gray area, as far as Manhattan neighborhoods. The location is conceivably an eastern part of the Flatiron section of town, but more like a northern extension of the Gramercy area, since it's a full six blocks from the exclusive enclave of Gramercy Park.
Whatever. I'm glad we're spending New Year's at Jazz Standard.
Don't get me wrong. I've spent some quality time at clubs during the last six Toast of the Nation celebrations. Each one of them has contributed some special moments. And there are always some delightful stories when you work in the trenches to bring people across the country some live music. Here are the last six I've worked as field producer, in order:
The Village Vanguard - Michael White's Original Liberty Jazz Band 2001/02
Blue Note New York - Chick Corea New Trio with Gary Burton 2002/03
Blue Note New York - Herbie Hancock Quartet 2003/04
Yoshi's in Oakland for Joshua Redman's Elastic Band 2004/05
Tipitina's in New Orleans for Big Chief Monk Boudreaux, The Hot 8 Brass Band, and Galactic 2005/06
The now-defunct Tonic on the Lower East Side - Steven Bernstein's Millenial Territory Orchestra 2006/07
So this year, we're at Jazz Standard. Thanks to Seth Abramson, it's one of the most creatively booked jazz clubs in the city. And thanks to Danny Meyer, it has some rockin' barbeque (not bad, considering we're above the Mason-Dixon line).
Not so incidentally, WBGO broadcast Ben Allison's Medicine Wheel, with the kora player, Mamadou Diabate, live during the club's opening week celebration. It's been a long time since that show, but we're finally back at the club for another live shot. "Ain't that good news?"

This sensory activity allows kids to use their imagination to give you or themselves a new hairdo with playdough. My toddler is a huge fan of playdough play and its great stuff for toddlers and preschoolers… but my 5-year-old gets bored easily sometimes. It's not essential we all play the same things, but it's nice to play and be silly together.It was inspired by this paint project from Putti Prapancha . Adapting it to playdough allowed us all to sit and play together.
- Gather your materials. You will need some sheet protectors, some photos of faces that you can cut, playdough ( ours is store bought but homemade will work a-ok), a few sheets of construction paper, some scissors, painters tape, double stick tape and a garlic press.
- Start by cutting out the faces from some family pictures. Cut off the hair!
- Tape them onto the construction paper using double stick tape.
- Slip it into a page protector. I had to trim my construction paper to fit.Tape to the table with painter's tape if you have a little one like my daughter who takes great pleasure in "clearing off" tables.
- Start playing. We used the garlic press, our hands and scissors to make the hair.
- My daughter loved putting it on my face, apparently she wants me to have a goatee. Don't worry about toddlers putting the hair in the "right" place, there is no "right" place. Talk about who they are looking at , talk about how squishy the playdough is and ask if they have hair etc… no need to make it a battle of wills, this is supposed to be play, so let them explore.
- We rotated through the pictures taking turns ( another good lesson) .He loved mixing the colors in the garlic press.
- Squeezing it out.
- Adding it on. For some reason the concept of chest hair has been a big topic at our house – not something I was expecting until closer to puberty but ok. He added some on his sister and himself. Have fun with this.
Books About Families
Something From Nothing by Phoebe Gilman is one of those books that you read and think oh I love it, but will kids? I am here to tell you yes! They love this old Yiddish folk tale about a little boy, his very special blanket and his grandfather who made it for him. Over the years Joseph's blanket transforms into a jacket, a vest, a tie, and handkerchief and finally a button. The story is beautiful and kids love not only the repetitive text when the grandfather is sewing but also the continuing storyline of the mice that live under the floor boards who use the scraps of material for all sorts of things. There are no goofy gimmicks, no lights or sounds just a great story and beautiful illustrations in this gem! A fantastic book about family and growing up.
All Kinds of Families! by Mary Ann Hoberman was not what my son or I expected at all. The story is really disjointed both connecting similar objects into families and talking about the generations of a family. I like that it explains that there can be all sorts of families and that it talks about how your family makes you into new things like a son, sister or cousin but I think mixing the two is too disconnected for the average picture book reading kid. To be honest it was a little disjointed for me too. My son was ready for it to be over half way through and that is never a good sign. Usually by the time he's asked if it's over he's tuned out. The illustrations were cute but even they didn't save it for us.
The Family Book by Todd Parr is a book that doesn't give readers a narrow definition of family , it doesn't say that your family has to look a certain way, or be the same as your neighbors. As a teacher I really appreciated the matter of fact way it embraced diversity. Kids see that families are not all like theirs and it's important to validate the truth while recognizing that while they may not all look alike, all families are made with love. Great book , cute illustrations and children love it.This post contains affiliate links.

John McKay Scarborough East, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to stand in this House today to congratulate Liz Warden who swam a personal best and won a silver medal in the 400 metre individual medley at the 16th Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in September.
As originally a member of the Scarborough swim club and presently with the University of Toronto, Liz represented Canada with pride and accomplished a great feat.
She is now training to go to the World Cup in Edmonton on November 28 as a member of the Canadian swim team. Liz was telling my daughter and I that she practices six hours a day.
I congratulate Liz. She is a role model for what dedication, hard work and perseverance can achieve. Canada is proud of her. I wish her luck in her next event.
Canadian Farmers
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Leon Benoit Lakeland, AB
Mr. Speaker, many farmers across this country, especially in western Canada, are facing an income crisis. This is through no fault of their own. The Asian economic situation is part of the cause, but government inaction, unreasonable user fees and tax increases over the past five years are the unforgivable causes.
Unreasonable fees have been charged through so-called cost recovery programs. Tax increases on fuel and other inputs have squeezed farmers too hard.
Farmers do not want handouts. All they want is fair treatment. That is why back in the 1993 election campaign and during discussion on the elimination of the Crow subsidy Reform MPs called for the government to put at least part of the value of the Crow into its trade distribution adjustment program. This fund would, as I speak, be paying money to farmers to help compensate for low prices caused by unfair trade practices in other countries.
But did this government listen? No. This government abandoned Canadian farmers. Now what is this government going to do?
National Sleep Awareness Week

Elinor Caplan Thornhill, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to draw the attention of the House to the fact that the week of October 19 to 25 has been designated National Sleep Awareness Week.
This week, which coincides with the changing of the clocks, reminds us how important sleep is to our everyday lives. Over two million Canadians suffer from sleep disorders such as insomnia and sleep apnea during which breathing actually stops. Sleep disorders affect the quality of life by decreasing alertness and performance.
Sleep/Wake Disorders Canada, a national voluntary health organization with chapters across the country, recruits and trains volunteer leaders who help people suffering from sleep disorders to improve the quality of their lives.
Please join me in supporting the work of Sleep/Wake Disorders Canada and in wishing them a successful national sleep awareness week.
I would also like to take this opportunity to inform the House that today my granddaughters and my grandson, Findlay, Tillie and Max—

Radio Nord
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Guy St-Julien Abitibi, QC
Mr. Speaker, Radio Nord has asked the federal labour minister to give mediator Jacques Lessard the power to decide the 85 employees' future terms and conditions of employment. What Radio Nord is asking for represents an abuse of power. The minister is not authorized under the Canada Labour Code to impose terms and conditions of employment on the employees of Radio Nord.
In fact, according to the union, it is contrary to the spirit of the code, because section 107 provides at most that the minister may do such things as to him seem likely to maintain or secure industrial peace and to promote conditions favourable to the settlement of industrial differences.
Radio Nord is basically asking that the right to free collective bargaining and, where legitimate, to go on strike to advance their demands be taken away from the employees. In addition, the employer abolished a dozen or so positions during the conciliation process.
The union believes that a negotiated solution is the preferred option for the employees and for the people of Abitibi-Témiscamingue, who complain about the fact that Radio Nord has been cutting back services for several years.
Commonwealth Jewish Council And Trust Award
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Mac Harb Ottawa Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay tribute to this year's recipient of the Commonwealth Jewish Council and Trust Award.
He is one of the finest public servants this country has ever known. For over 30 years before and after his election to parliament he has consistently been a champion of justice, an advocate of fairness, a visionary and a compassionate friend of the people.
The Commonwealth Jewish Council and Trust Award is given to those who have gone beyond the call of duty to help their fellow human beings and whose contribution has been truly outstanding.
Other Canadians who have received the awards are Judge Maxwell Cohen and Mrs. Dorothy Reitman.
I join all my colleagues and all Canadians in congratulating our Deputy Prime Minister, the hon. member for Windsor West, on this latest addition to his many achievements.
Aboriginal Affairs
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Myron Thompson Wild Rose, AB
Mr. Speaker, last week Judge Tom Goodson, an aboriginal member of the provincial court of Alberta, was appointed to conduct a fatality inquiry into the shooting of Connie and Ty Jacobs.
I hope that Judge Goodson will follow in the footsteps of Judge Reilly and investigate this case as broadly as possible. He would be doing all aboriginals a great service if he were to investigate the social conditions, accountability of band leaders and financial mismanagement on this reserve.
I would hope he would consider looking into why Connie was living in a condemned house and why there is a chronic housing shortage on a reserve that received over $20 million last year, or why these people in August took over deserted army barracks on the reserve in the hope of better housing.
Why do these people continue to live in poverty and ill health, plagued by violence and unemployment despite the billions of dollars of public money reserves receive each year?
This inquiry cannot assign blame, but Judge Goodson can make many recommendations on how to prevent such an incident from happening again and subsequently change the quality of life for all aboriginals across Canada.
New Information Technologies
Statements By Members
October 28th, 1998 / 2 p.m.
Bernard Patry Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC
Mr. Speaker, last Friday, the Canadian government announced $10.5 million in comprehensive financial assistance to implement approximately 20 projects related to new information technologies and new media in the greater Montreal area.
A first financial contribution was made to Behaviour Communications Inc. This $9 million contribution will generate investments totaling $30 million and the creation of 200 new jobs.
Eighteen businesses sponsored by the multimedia consortium CESAM were granted $1.5 million out of the multimedia experimentation fund. This government support is provided as seed money for new businesses.
It goes without saying that governments and their private sector partners must work together to create conditions conducive to attracting highly skilled labour to Montreal and curbing the drain of talents and skilled resources.
The Canadian government encourages Quebec initiatives and ensures that our businesses can assume their rightful place.
Wilno, Ontario
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Hec Clouthier Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke, ON
Mr. Speaker, if hon. members don't know, they and all of Canada will know about Wilno when they watch On The Road Again tonight on CBC television.
Host Wayne Rostad visited Wilno, the oldest Polish settlement in Canada, which is yet another incredible attraction in the great riding of Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke.
Mr. Rostad said "I have been aware of a very special quality that this region holds for people. There is a real spirit of neighbourliness. There is a sense of community. There is magic in the hills of Wilno."
Mr. Rostad visited the famous Wilno Tavern on Tuesday blues night where he met many of the local musicians, artists and colourful characters who make Wilno and area such an incredibly diverse community. One of those artists is marionette maker Alex Sztasko whose lifelike puppets reflect the character of this region.
Mr. Rostad added: "Alex is a person who is perfect for our show because we bring Canadians to Canadians."
Now, Mr. Speaker, you know about Wilno.
Child Abuse Prevention Month
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Gurbax Malhi Bramalea—Gore—Malton, ON
Mr. Speaker, October is child abuse prevention month.
In 1997, children's aid societies in Ontario conducted 96,039 investigations into suspected cases of child abuse and neglect. This includes 634 cases investigated by the Children's Aid Society of the Region of Peel. It is one of a number of child welfare agencies holding purple ribbon campaigns in October to educate, advocate and generally raise awareness about child abuse. Up to 12,000 ribbons will be distributed in the Peel region.
While child abuse prevention month and the purple ribbon campaign end this Saturday, I wish to remind Canadians that every person who has reason to suspect that a child is being abused or may have suffered from abuse must report that suspicion to a Children's Aid Society.
The Nisga'A Land Claim Agreement
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Mike Scott Skeena, BC
Mr. Speaker, on August 4 the Liberal government initialled the Nisga'a Land Claim Agreement with much fanfare and hype.
The provincial NDP government, also a signatory to the agreement, is now spending millions of taxpayers' dollars in a paid campaign reminiscent of the Charlottetown accord.
Once again all of the talking heads who told us why Charlottetown was the only hope for Canada are trotted out to tell us why we must have the Nisga'a agreement.
The parallels are striking. An agreement is crafted behind closed doors by an elite group of politicians and intellectuals. The public is told in no uncertain terms that the agreement cannot be changed and must be accepted to save the country. The intelligentsia lauds the agreement in glowing terms without hesitation or reservation and those who express concern or opposition are labelled the "enemies of Canada" in the case of the Charlottetown accord or the "forces of darkness" in the case of the Nisga'a agreement.
These are all clear indications of governments which are morally adrift, intellectually bankrupt and distrusting of their public.
When governments make major changes to the social contract they must never do so—

Bill Blaikie Winnipeg—Transcona, MB
Mr. Speaker, tonight the Canadian Medical Association will induct Tommy Douglas into its hall of fame. Tommy would be pleased to see how much things have changed since the doctors' strike in Saskatchewan, how the medical community itself appreciates the virtues of publicly funded health insurance and how they are, along with others, trying to save it from death by underfunding.
But Tommy would also want us to note that medicare still has its enemies, both seen and unseen: seen in the form of the Reform Party which openly advocates an American two-tier system, and unseen, or at least hiding, in the form of the federal Liberal government which has knowingly created the conditions that may allow the enemies of medicare to succeed.
Tommy's warning in his final years about medicare was "Don't let them take it away." The NDP urges all Canadians to heed his warning and keep an eye on the Reformers and the Liberals.
Journées Québécoises De La Solidarité Internationale
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Maud Debien Laval East, QC
Mr. Speaker, we are celebrating this week the Journées québécoises de la solidarité internationale.
This is an opportunity to reiterate our commitment to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Everyone in Montreal, Sherbrooke, Trois-Rivières, Quebec City and in the Outaouais, Abitibi, Lanaudière, Bois-Francs and Saguenay—Lac-Saint-Jean regions is invited to take part in the numerous activities organized in co-operation with the Quebec Ministry of International Relations, to discover the Quebec way of showing solidarity with the rest of the world.
For example, the Quebec government provided financial assistance to the victims of a hurricane in the Dominican Republic and, on November 20, a collective mural on human rights will be unveiled in the national assembly.
The reason Quebeckers are increasingly involved on the international scene is not only to assert their identity, but also to show their solidarity towards the other nations of the world.

Week VI was another great week. On Friday I showed Cartier in the USEF Medal to warm up for the Ronnie Mutch Equitation Classic, and we were third.
Ocala has been a blast so far. I have been able to ride so many different horses, and every week has been a successful one in my eyes as far as how good the horses are getting. Emil and Kate are so much fun to work with, and they have taught me so much.
Kristen Mohr, winner of the 2010 R.W. "Ronnie" Mutch Scholarship, has agreed to blog about her showing experiences this year and the opportunities she's been able to take advantage of after winning the scholarship.
I have recently been fortunate enough to receive the Ronnie Mutch Scholarship, and I am so grateful as I have been given the opportunity to ride horses for Emil Spadone in Ocala, Fla. This scholarship is allowing me to pursue this great opportunity.

Skip to comments.Let's put Aurora in perspective
Posted on 07/22/2012 4:56:11 PM PDT by klb99
Remarks I will never hear on the lame-stream media:
1)Tens of thousands of Americans bought firearms and ammo in the last 6 months and did NOT open fire in a crowded theater.
2) Hate to be the one to tell you but an AR-15, 2 Glocks and a 12-gauge is NOT an arsenal. It's not even a lot of firearms - as things go.
There will be more and more crazies as our culture continues to circle the drain.
"1)Tens of thousands of Americans bought firearms and ammo in the last 6 months "
Make that 'millions'. Millions of people bought guns and ammo in the last six months.
Listen to Congressman Paul Broun's urgent message on the UN Small Arms Treaty!Includes petition! Gun owners only have until July 27th to prepare for this battle...
Sorry it's not a petition but a survey.
Timothy McVeigh didn't use a gun.
Neither did the London subway bombers, the 9/11 creeps, many more.
This guy in Aurora was an accomplished bombmaker, from all reports. Take his guns, he'll use grenades.
Killers will kill. Concentrating on method rather than cause and prevention is short-sighted and stupid.
And Switzerland, one of the most heavily-armed countries on earth, is also one of the most peaceful and crime-free.
For the record, I really do not like guns. At all. Own them, don't like them.
Another limiting factor as far as the carnage goes, is that the guy didn't have a death wish. He was not intent on dying with his victims..if it were the case, it could (would) have been a lot worse. For as methodical as the shooter was, it is obvious to me that he values his own life by the fact that he gave up to the Police outside the theater.
You are correct - I was warding off ridiculous criticism!
Plus....if you go to the range with older kids/teenagers you can go thru $300-$400 of ammo in a few hours so it's not even unusual to spend a great deal of money buying ammo online....a fact that libs would ever understand even tho they have higher monthly payments on their Prii and Subarus.
Public schools and liberal colleges are breeding these malcontents . In Mexico the civilian population is forbidden to have guns period so our presidents admin. has sent them real nice ones .
Chicago had 41 murders last month ,, making the Colorado incedent look like a small affair . I can hardly wait til this months casuality count is released . Did the president lower the flag for them ???
Feral youths are a product of a liberal agenda . Liberals create a problem so they can apply the politically correct solution they wanted in the first place and created it . What the hell do you think Fast and Furious was all about ,,,,, gun control was their rational .
In my fantasy world, this is the story I am waiting to hear:
"An assassin stood up in a crowded theater last night and began to open fire on the theater patrons.
Shortly afterwards, an armed theater patron shot and killed the assassin.
The armed theater patron disappeared into the crowd and is not being sought by law enforcement."
Noun: A collection of one or more weapons or items of military equipment stored by a country, person, or group: "Britain's Nuclear Arsenal" or "Ralphie's Red Rider Air Rifle Arsenal".
Note: These bullets were fired through the theater wall and killed one person in the next theater over and one in Iraq - that sounds like an arsenal to me!
Jedidiah..your comments are the first I always think of in these situations. It's the difference in "us" and "them". My first thought was that if most everyone in the theater had been armed, the shooter would not have gotten off so many shots. His vest was "bullet resistant" according to the police chief...a .357 would have at least knocked him down then he could have been disarmed or killed.
Why libs think that people who don't obey laws against murder are going to obey gun laws is something they cannot logically explain.
You won't see this discussed either.
Your preaching to the choir buddy, we both know public opinion on gun control will take a turn for the worse. Brace yourselves for more gun control laws coming down the pipeline.
Of all the tools I own, I hate my chain saw the worst.
How many die from shootings in Chicago's worst weekends and the media treats it like business as usual?
No, actually the fact which should put Aurora into perspective is this:
Deaths from mass shootings (which kill 4 or more) per year in the US: 163
(from http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/20/dark-knight-shooting_n_1689505.html?utm_hp_ref=mostpopular, not my favorite source, but data is data)
People falling/drowning in their bathtub per year: 314 (for year 2000, appears to be about normal-http://danger.mongabay.com/injury_death.htm)
So people might want to consider the fact that bathtubs are considerably more deadly that mass shootings.
I thought that scenario out before and I think the police would search out a witness to ID that CCW because he had a firearm in a (Cinemark policy) free fire zone. If caught, the media would perp walk him and conservatives would hail him as a hero.
"...police would search out a witness..."
In my fantasy world,
all of the other theater-goers would say they were unable to identify the hero...
...you know...
...because of all the shock and emotion and er'-thing...
Why We Should Swallow Our Vomit And Vote Straight Ticket
I'm just here to stir the muck ....
Extrapolating from your facts, the salient difference between firearms and soap is that there is no constitutionally protected right—or obligation—to bathe one's self/skanky a**.
Of course this might explain the olfactory pungeance of OWS, their parents and the like/ilk.
They may use your argument to say that they fear bath tubs and shower stalls.
As a result when they attempt (once again) to burden our 2nd Amendment rights, we will have to pass a law requiring that stinking hippies of all ages, stripes and socio-economic classes adhere to a certain minimum standard of bodily hygiene.
In order to do that we'll need a A GOP congress and executive branch.
Admittedly, there is no guarantee that a GOP congress and executive branch will be conservative, but I tender for your consideration that it is more likely that Republicans will have higher sanitary standards than Democrats (to wit, Mrs. Barney Frank) and require similar standards from others.
I'm sure that Mitt Romney, as life-like as he is or can be, doesn't stink up a room like, say, a Reverend Al Sharpton. I mean, they don't let just anyone try on those celestial undergarments; I'm sure you have to pass some sort of `sniff test' to become a Mormon bishop
So that's the choice: a stinking Obama and his anarchic, odoriferous fellow dhimmicrats, or a hygienic GOP and your 2nd Amendment rights.
*an AR-15 AK-47 assault rifle machine gun
*two fully-automatic Glock AK-47 assault rifle revolvers
*12-gauge automatic AK-47 assault rifle shotgun
There are sure alot of firearms that I've never heard of and I have my FFL.
Yesterday I read about an 8ga Remington 1270.
WHO are these people?
One of the things I always point out whenever I'm drawn into conversations about things like this is that I could go to the local Home Depot and a gas station and come home with everything I would need to murder a lot of people.
And a .380 or .38 special between the lights would have put him down, permanently. But a bunch of peripheral hits on arms and legs, would have also taken him out of action, long enough at any rate.
Aurora Death Toll = 12
2012 Chicago, IL homicides as of 6/30/2012 = 283
2012 NY City homicides as of 6/30/2012 = 193
2012 Death Toll In Afghanistan as of 6/16/2012 = 144
Its almost as if this rampage was made to order to give Obama an issue to inflame anti-gun passions just at the time when liberals are trying to force a UN gun control treaty on the USA.
A suspicious person might wonder if this was another False Flag project (like Fast and Furious), calculated to provide liberals with a gun issue at just the right time to bolster their pro-treaty arguments (and maybe help with Obama's reelection too)
Id say the lessons learned are:
1) Make sure your CC (concealed carry) weapons have a well adjusted laser.
2) Target practice like crazy, practicing shooting while diving, running, jumping out of helicopters and repelling down walls if possible
3) save lives first then worry about CC restriction laws later.
Not saying doing these things could have stopped Holmes, but I think several people doing all these things in the audience might have had a better chance at less causalities.
Do we let them disarm us? Never! They can pass all the laws they want. Too many guns already out there. Most of them in the hands of good people ready stop the tyranny of a government hell bent on controlling us.
Thank you for the only laugh I've had today. That's good!

45th Presidential Inauguration photo gallery
Shirvani must quit right now
What a joke. Seriously, we couldn't stop laughing out loud when we read the latest comments by fired North Dakota University System Chancellor Hamid Shirvani.
The outgoing chancellor criticized three university presidents in their annual reviews, questioning the leadership abilities of Minot State University President David Fuller, North Dakota State University President Dean Bresciani and University of North Dakota President Robert Kelley, and recommending no raises for Kelley and Fuller.
We're not making this up. Shirvani actually had the gall to question someone else's leadership ability after failing miserably as chancellor. It's laughable.
Shirvani, in case you've forgotten, had the last two years of his contract bought out by the State Board of Higher Education recently, after a year of angst and tension with a host of employees of the university system, lawmakers and members of the public. For his year of "work" as chancellor, which included habitual violations of state open meeting laws, Shirvani walked away with a hefty severance package that includes two years of his full salary of $349,00 a year (plus two yearly raises), health insurance benefits and other perks. And now he says two presidents who are still actually working don't deserve raises?
Of course, it's purely coincidental that Shirvani has issues with Fuller, Kelley and Bresciani, who just happen to be the three biggest outspoken critics of Shirvani's "leadership" as chancellor. Hence, Shirvani's opinion that the three presidents display poor leadership abilities cannot be taken seriously.
Shirvani is scheduled to remain in office until July 31, and be a consultant to the university system until January. It's obvious he needs to leave immediately.

I think that Unohana, Byakuya and Kenpachi are going to show us what a real badass Ban Kai looks like.. Their un involvement during this fight, means that they are going to play a bigger role later on in the manga.
- and after re-reading this chapter, I hope that Gin will come more into the picture. It could be a " Itachi Uchiha " move ( being double- agent ), but right now without any further evidence; I seriously think that Gin just don't gives a fck about anything and he went with Aizen to HM, just too be free from SS.

- Description
DetailsBlueberry OG is, as the name suggests, a cross of two of the most revered strains around, viz. Blueberry and OG Kush. This combination is a sure-fire winner and it delivers a strong, euphoric yet relaxing effect as well as having pain-killing properties. It shows colourful purple and blue tones and has a nice berry/fruity flavour. A good yield and a high level of THC are produced by this plant.
- Characteristics
- Rating
- Breeder
It was the late 1980s and high atop the Himalayas, heavy snow hurling its way down from the skies, a small group of breeders began to cross-breed marijuana strains carefully selected from every corner of the Middle East and Asia. Bountiful harvests of sativa and indica hybrid cultivars kept the group's spirits up during a 3 year stint in the rural, desolate mountains. One member of this talented group would go on to create one of the most prominent cannabis seed production businesses in the world. That business is Barney's Farm and the man who started it all is Derry.
After his period of successful cultivation in Asia, Derry returned to Amsterdam in 1992 with his newly created cannabis seeds and took the helm at Barney's Coffee Shop. The popularity of his strains made Barney's the must- go-to place for interested parties worldwide.
The unique nature of the beginnings of a company like Barney's Farm only adds to its already vast popularity. The winner of countless awards and a never ending desire to produce 'new and exciting' strains of cannabis, it's no wonder that there is an international demand for Barney's Farm creations.
Over the last decade, Barney's Farm have produced some of the world's most popular varieties of cannabis, with Pineapple Chunk winning the Indica Cup in 2009, and Critical Kush becoming a bestseller within months of release.
Despite a history spanning nearly 30 years, Barney's Farm's popularity has never diminished. New strains are frequently released, allowing for an ever-increasing audience to continue to enjoy high quality seeds from a company that started, literally, at the top and has remained there ever since. Experience this for yourself - buy Barney's Farm seeds from Seedsman now.
