In writing our personal accounts about our years with the Gentle Wind Project,
we are reminded of a quote by
E. L. Doctorow . . .
"When ideas go unexamined and unchallenged for a long enough time, certain things happen.
They become mythological, and they become very, very powerful.
They create conformity. They intimidate."
Leaders of organizations such as GWP
, who have never been examined and challenged, come to believe in a distorted reality –
that they can do and say whatever they want
. Being challenged is a new reality for the GWP leaders, one they are inexperienced to deal correctly with. So what did this self-proclaimed "highly evolved world-healing organization" do when faced with questioning and criticism? They attempted to use legal means as a form of intimidation to censor the freedom of speech of former members (and anyone else questioning their practices), who, in telling their personal stories, for the first time, provided an examination of hitherto unchallenged ideas and activities of the GWP organization and its leaders.
GWP leader, John D. Miller, and his five housemates
Mary E. Miller, Carol R. Miller
(John Miller's legal wife)
Shelly Miller, Pam Ranheim, and Joan Carreiro
(Mary Miller's sister)
were the plaintiffs
(please see
Insiders' Stories
for other names used by these individuals)
All plaintiffs were, until recently, Board Members of GWP.
As per Gentle Wind's 2003 IRS Form 990
each of them received a salary increase in that year -- from $52,839 in 2002 to $71,799 per person, in addition to paid food and living expenses.
The plaintiffs, who, as of September 2006,
resided in GWP's Durham, NH residence
(a luxury property that was titled privately to these individuals for many years -- purportedly due to a "scrivener's error" -- until Feb 2004, when it was suddenly transferred to the "Gentle Wind Project")
in Kittery, ME (where GWP property was sold in November 2005 to Mary Ann Hale and Richard Hanelius, both associates of the Millers),
and, until November 2003, in Melbourne Beach, Florida, hired
Verrill & Dana
law firm, Portland, ME, to file a lawsuit in Maine District (Federal) Court (which was dismissed), and then a new lawsuit in Maine Superior Court (also now dismissed) against former GWP members and others who dared to speak their minds about personal experiences with GWP and what they believed to be happening with GWP.
GWP Address Update:
According to the newest design for the Millers' GWP website, their contact address is now in Starks, Nevada,
though the Millers' most recent lawsuit listed a Portsmouth, NH post office box, and they are now living in MA. The latest names used by GWP leaders to market their wares:
Family Systems Research Group / FSRG / IChing Systems
As described on this page, the Maine Attorney General's lawsuit against GWP resulted in a signed
Consent Decree
with GWP's leaders that required the "nonprofit" to give up all business and assets. Additional terms of the AG's
Consent Decree
prohibit GWP from operating in the state of Maine, and the GWP leaders from running any other
nonprofit in Maine.
After reading what the GWP leaders have to say, we suggest that you
do your own research
of GWP's statements, talk to people
of the Gentle Wind group,
and then decide for yourself what makes sense.

To Followers of the Millers
We've heard some very strange and outrageous
tall tales
, apparently spun by Mary and John Miller to discredit/demonize former followers and Maine's Attorney General. Examples:
Tall Tale #1)
[A male whistleblower is] "in prison for a very long time for hacking into the Jimmy Fund"
Call or email us to verify that we're here where we've always been and have never been incarcerated. This would be funny except that some followers believe it.
Tall Tale #2)
[A female whistleblower] "drowned an elderly woman, covered up the crime, and then took her money"
If you are a follower of the Millers and believe this, you may want to consider some psychological help, but not from the Millers.
Tale Tale #3)
"Maine's Attorney General was relieved of her
job after this internet smear campaign"
[Millers' gobbledygook for their fraud and con schemes]
Steven Rowe, Maine's AG, and Carolyn Silsby, the Assistant AG who, on behalf of the state of Maine, conducted the multiyear investigation into the illegal activities of Gentle Wind and the Millers; sued the Millers and their GWP for fraudulent practices; and banned them from any future activities in Maine, have continued successfully in their positions (Rowe's term ended Jan 09). Just call the Maine AG. Fact checking is important when dealing with cults.
Tale Tale #4)
"Two disgruntled former members who will remain nameless
have and continue to launch relentless, baseless attacks against [GWP} . . .Use their considerable wealth and political connections to intimidate, threaten, harass. . . extortion, bribery, hacking, wiretapping,
physical violence
. . . ."
Most people understand that cult leaders fling out desperate and amazing fabrications to demonize whistleblowers. This laughable defamation is a classic example.

Cult News
Stipulation of Dismissal
Wind of Changes, this public service website, is offered by former
"instrument keepers" of the Gentle Wind Project (ex-members)
to former and present followers and current "instrument keepers,"
as an alternative viewpoint to the GWP leaders' self-promotion, claims, and publicity.
These detailed accounts of manipulation by GWP leaders -- who claim(ed) to have
exclusive connections with the "spirit world" -- in the day-to-day lives of followers,
and the subtleties of how commitment to the group happened, should also be helpful
to families and friends of present members who are looking for answers, and
to anyone searching for more information about the group.
If you, or someone you know, are considering a personal commitment
/I-Ching Systems/etc. – by attending an "open house" or seminar, requesting a "telepathic healing," or using or purchasing a "healing instrument" - you can now read the actual experiences of former members in
A Husband's Perspective
Insiders' Stories
and judge their stories for yourself . . .
before getting involved.
Here you will find highly personal accounts combined with vivid examples from 17-year members, former "healing instrument keepers" and former Board Members of GWP.
In spite of the hurt and personal losses experienced during their involvement in the GWP cult, these former members offer a very hopeful message of enthusiastic and grateful reconnection with the wider world following their recovery from GWP. By relating to these positive and poignant stories, present GWP members may come to believe that they, too, can find fulfilling lives after releasing themselves from GWP's bonds.

News Report
about gwp. We assume from the report that the central figure in the story - a Sparks NV school teacher who alledgedly used "healing instruments" on her students in the classroom-is a gwp follower. After being put out of business by Maine's Attorney General, the Millers revamped their gwp website, listing a Sparks NV address, though they are probably living in MA.

You are welcome to ask us questions
about stories/fabrications you might have heard or read about
ex-followers of GWP, or other critics, on the Gentle Wind websites or directly from the GWP/FSRG/etc leaders, followers, and "instrument keepers." Since we anticipated these reactions from the GWP leaders, we aren't surprised at their allegations and misinformation. It was predictable and is a universal reaction from leaders of these types of groups and their followers.
The most obvious examples of this predictability were the lawsuits filed by GWP and its leaders against critics.

"It is useless to attempt to reason a man [or woman]
out of a thing he [or she] was never reasoned into."
"In the entire history of man, no one has ever been brainwashed and realized, or believed, that he had been brainwashed. Those who have been brainwashed will usually passionately defend their manipulators, claiming they have simply been 'shown the light' . . . or have been transformed in miraculous ways."

to think that their own minds and thought processes are invulnerable.

Extra Background & News Coverage
GWP's / the Millers et al Lawsuit Against Former Members
was Dismissed from Federal Court
. . GWP / the Millers et al filed yet another lawsuit in Maine State Court
Dear Friends and Visitors,
On January 3, 2006 we received the long-awaited news that
Senior District Judge Gene Carter
granted our
Motion for Summary Judgment
on the Gentle Wind Project's RICO (racketeering) claim - the only Federal claim that remained in GWP/the Millers' convoluted lawsuit against us:
Order Granting Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment on Rico Claim
Judgment for Defendants.
The Summary Judgment Order is also at
United States District Court -- District of Maine
The Federal Court decision -
Judgments entered for Defendants
and against Plaintiffs
(Plaintiffs = GWP leaders: John "Tubby" Miller, Mary "Moe" Miller, Carol "Max" Miller, Shelbourne "Shelly" Miller, Pam Ranheim, Joan Carreiro, and Gentle Wind Project, Durham NH and Kittery ME) -
is a positive outcome for anyone interested in the preservation of free speech on the Internet.
Judge Carter further ordered that GWP's lawsuit Counts III through VII against us (the state claims, such as defamation) also be dismissed from Federal Court.
A large victory was also granted to Ian Mander of
New Zealand Cult List,
one of our many Federal lawsuit co-defendants originally sued by GWP leaders:
Order Denying Plaintiffs Application for Default Judgment against Ian Mander.
Judge Carter dismissed GWP/the Millers' Federal claims against Mander and denied their motion for default judgment against him. Ian Mander won this judgment without spending a dime on defense or responding to GWP/the Millers' lawsuit.
Our other original co-defendants included Rick Ross of
Cult Education Institute
; Steve Gamble of Equilibra; Ivan Fraser of The Truth Campaign; and Steve Hassan of Freedom of Mind.
GWP/the Millers et al Maine State Court lawsuit:
On 1-10-06 the Millers et al, and their lawyers, "came back," and re-filed their lawsuit (minus the dismissed Federal claims) in Maine state court against Jim Bergin, Judy Garvey, and also, oddly, against Ian Mander, Editor of
New Zealand Cult List.
As described at the top of this page, that lawsuit is also now dismissed, marking the end of GWP's relentless attempts to silence former members and critics and force removal of this website.
We filed our
Answer and
including defamation, against GWP, the Millers et al. GWP's lawsuit, and our Counterclaims, were assigned to Maine Superior Court Justice G. Arthur Brennan of York County Maine Superior Court (Alfred, ME) and a Maine jury trial was scheduled for December 2006. Shortly before this happened, the Millers wanted out and victory was secured by Jim Bergin and Judy Garvey. Thus, the website you are reading still exists.
Rather than filing Motions for Dismissal or Summary Judgment to end the Miller's new Maine State lawsuit, it was important for us to go to trial since there were contested facts. A few examples. . .
The Millers et al contended that Judy and Jim defamed them by reporting – in their personal stories about 17 years as followers, "instrument keepers," and board members of the Millers' GWP that there was group sexual activity (called "energy work") among the leaders and female followers and that followers were told that this "energy work" would bring in designs for new GWP "healing instruments" from the "spirit world" to the GWP leader, John "Tubby" Miller. The Millers et al each denied, under oath during depositions, that group sexual activity of any kind took place among GWP leaders and an inner group of followers.
The Millers et al also deny that Gentle Wind Project is a cult, and they claim in their promotional material that they have "clinical research" on the effectiveness of their "healing instruments" and that this "research" meets scientific standards. Based on our years of association with GWP we disagree with the Millers, and have also shown how the GWP so-called research is anecdotal and/or conducted by GWP believers / "instrument keepers." This is described in
Insiders' Stories
A Husband's Perspective.
If the purpose of the Millers' Federal/State lawsuit was to silence us and others, it was a misuse of the judicial system requiring large amounts of their donors' money to pay their lawyers. As Carl Starrett, Esq., moderator of the
Gentle Wind Victims' Forum
"GWP must have spent several hundred thousand dollars in legal fees
[in their Federal Court lawsuit alone] and they came up empty."
In addition to the correct application of the Federal law for us, the defendants, Judge Carter's U.S. District Court Order was an extremely important decision for anyone who believes in an individual's right to speak freely about personal experiences, and to share information of public importance through the Internet without fear of being intimidated, sued, silenced, and harmed financially.
The Berkman Center for Internet & Society, Harvard Law School,
called the Federal decision,
"An important victory for free expression on the Internet."
(For a link to The Berkman Center's story, and for other news, see "Important Updates," below.
We are very grateful for the support and encouragement – from a wide variety of individuals and institutions, including the pro bono assistance by the Berkman Center – that we have received throughout this process.

Nonprofit Accused of Cult Activity
(While we are grateful for publicity about the difficulties we have had in struggling for the right to tell our personal stories, we regret that there were inaccuracies in this article.
These are explained in our
Letter to the Edito
ult Activity' Article Missed the Mark
To the Editor,
"We wish to correct some misinformation in the article "Nonprofit Accused of Cult Activity"
(Portsmouth Herald
, 7-23-04). In our personal stories on www.windofchanges.org
we do not allege child neglect, extortion, or misappropriation of funds by Gentle Wind Project.
This information actually comes from Gentle Wind who claim in their lawsuit that this is what we said. They are using what some might call a "straw man argument
– turning words around and then arguing against the new statement. Unfortunately, the reporter for this story took her information from the Gentle Wind websites or sources rather than quoting from our stories.
"In addition, Garvey was briefly part of the GWP group sexual activity in the early years of her involvement with the group only, not up until four years ago. This is completely inaccurate and does not reflect our personal stories or our conversation with the reporter.
"The information presented about Gentle Wind Project in the
Portsmouth Herald
article sounds more like an infomercial for Gentle Wind products as opposed to investigative reporting. If you wish to provide accuracy for your readers, we would suggest further research into: costs ("donations") for Gentle Wind's so-called "healing" instruments; real data -- outside of Gentle Wind created data -- showing efficacy of their products based on objective scientific studies; personal stories from victims and donors who have lost large sums of their personal income in the purchases of GWP products; and a discussion of the unsubstantiated claims made by GW. All of this is already available on our website.
"Thank you for printing this statement so that the inaccuracies in your article can be corrected."

The best advice I could possibly give you, and forgive me if this seems glib, is to work. Work. Work. Work. Every day. At the same time every day. For as long as you can take it every day, work, work, work. Understand? Talent is for shit. I've taught school for nearly thirty years and never met a student who did not have some talent. It is as common as house dust or kudzu vine in Alabama and is just about as valuable. Nothing is as valuable as the habit of work, and work has to become a habit.

Some days things go horribly wrong.
I wonder if there is matter under my wild blond hair and between my big ears.
I love making old fashioned chocolate cakes. Two layers of moist chocolate cake, frosting to hold the cake together, ganache poured over the entire pastry and chilled. The result is a chewy layer of rich chocolate that encases a thoughtfully frosted cake.
Well, that is the intent of an old fashioned chocolate cake.
Needless to say things go horribly wrong sometimes.
For example, I frosted a perfectly honorable chocolate cake with a light whipped cream icing, all in a days work right? Toss it in the freezer and warmed a chocolate ganache in a double boiler. I had 15 minutes left on my shift, the last shift of the week, Friday. With 5 minutes left for the day I casually pulled the chilled cake out and set up a wire rack to pour the melted chocolate over the cake.
Only at the end of a day on Friday would this ever occur....
Whipped cream and hot ganache make a huge mess.
Did you hear me - don't be like the baker and melt a perfectly good cake.
What happened? I was left with a cake, you see above melting into a huge puddle of sweet disaster.
I kind of wanted to cry but I wanted to laugh even harder. I grabbed my camera and snapped a quick photo, then chef reminded me that the key to success is to be able to fix your mistakes. Believe it or not this massive disaster was saved.
One more good laugh with chef, no tears, I was out the door with yet another week of baking and "pastry school" under my belt.
Old Fashioned Chocolate Cake
Source, Chef Christy Fox
Makes 2, 8" cakes
This is a great everyday chocolate cake, it is the recipe that I use at the bistro and was handed down from the chef. Please note that there are roasted beets in the cake, they give the finished product moisture and a deep rich color. Simply roast a few beets in a bit of olive oil until soft to a fork, cool, peel, and puree.
4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
4 ounces unsalted butter
1/2 cup sour cream
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 cup beet puree
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 cups cake flour, sifted
2 tablespoons cocoa powder, sifted
1 cup hot water
Pre heat the oven to 350. Line two 8 inch cake tins with parchment paper and oil.
Melt chocolate and butter together in a double boiler until smooth. Set aside.
Mix sour cream and baking soda in a small bowl and set aside.
In a mixer, combine sugar, vanilla, salt and chocolate/butter mixture. Mix until well combined. Add eggs, one at a time until just mixed. Do not over mix.
Add sour cream mixture and beets to the batter until just mixed.
Alternately add flour/cocoa mixture and hot water to the batter. Watch for lumps and mix until just combined.
Pour batter into prepared tins. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the the center of the cake springs back when your index finger lightly taps it or a tester comes out with only crumbs.
Cool and invert onto wire rack to cool completely. Frost how you wish!

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
The opening of an exhibition of paintings by a famed Holocaust survivor in Hong Kong had a surprise guest of honor: US President Barack Obama's half-brother, Mark, who is Jewish.
The exhibition was put on to celebrate the work of artist and Holocaust survivor Sara Atzmon, and was hosted by the University of Hong Kong. The event was sponsored by the local Jewish community and the Israeli consulate in Hong Kong. Atzmon's work will be on display until the beginning of May.
The opening ceremony aroused great interest in the local media, which eagerly interviewed Atzmon, who traveled from Israel to be there.
But it was Mark Obama who really stole the show. Mark, who is very open and proud of his Jewish heritage, lives in China, where he is a teacher and business consultant.
Years ago, Mark Obama visited Israel. He said that visit had been important as a way to connect to his roots and honor his mother and grandmother, who had fled anti-Semitism in Lithuania. Mark said that Atzmon's paintings reminded him of his time in Jerusalem, "an experience I will never forget."

Wot? No glasses! Tosh goes 3D crazy
Spectacles-free spectacles
CES 2011 Toshiba talked up glasses-free 3D viewing for its first day splash at CES.
The Japanese company will start selling big 3D TVs - 40in and above- which don't require glasses in in April, it said in a Bloomberg briefing.
Tosh already sells 12in and 20in glasses-free 3D TVs in its home country.
The company is also prepping glasses-free 3D displays for laptops, according to Engadget, which has seen a concept demo unit that Tosh is taking to CES.
Tosh thinks the technology will be production-quality by the end of the year. Whether it makes it into production is a different matter, of course.

Brief Synopsis
Creating and maintaining a highly competent U.S. Army Officer Corps has always been the cornerstone of the nation's defense. The authors consider America's continuing commitment to an all-volunteer military, its global engagement in an era of persistent conflict, and evolving changes in its domestic labor market. They argue that the intersection of these factors demands a comprehensive Officer Corps strategy recognizing the interdependency of accessing, developing, retaining and employing talent. They believe that building a talent-focused strategy around this four-activity human capital model will best posture the Army to match individual officer competencies to specific competency requirements. Such a strategy will enable the thoughtful and deliberate integration of resources, policies, and organizations to employ "the right talent in the right job at the right time." The authors conclude that without such a talent-focused strategy, the Army and its Officer Corps confront the increasing likelihood that they will be unequal to future American national security demands.

Steve Smythe - KM (End Of Print)
- 2018
- Silkscreen on newsprint
- Unique 1/1 (All of Steve Smythe's works are hand finished and totally unique)
- Signed, dated, blind stamped and inscribed 'KM End Of Print'
- 75cm x 54cm (Unframed)
- Framing Available
If ordering framed, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com after your order, to start your bespoke framing consultation.
Steve Smythe is a British Contemporary artist, who pushes the boundaries of the now established mediums of collage and screen printing. Coming from a graphic design background, he explores the idea of graphic work with an added unique painterly quality.
Steve's work is a microcosm of homages to the greats of typography such as Christopher Wool, the 20th century screen printing masters - Rauschenberg and Warhol, the artists of the mixed media focused Nouveau Réalisme movement and finally, street art in its very purest form - graffiti, torn posters and pop culture images. This is all added to his own take on Pop Culture and its associated messages and imagery.
Eschewing the idea of printed 'Limited Editions' for his work, Steve Smythe creates a unique piece of art with every print. Each piece is a heavily worked paper that can includes screen printing, layered colleges and papers, printed or hand drawn text, stamps and hand painted colour, creating a work rich in details, spontaneity and texture.

Covert Cuisine: Underground Supper Clubs
The masked man in the corner isn't the entertainment. He's your chef. And that's just one of the delicious mysteries behind underground supper clubs.
Last October, more than 40 people followed signs depicting a skull and crossbones, with a knife and fork in place of the bones, to a secluded Bavarian-style hunting lodge 30 minutes north of St. Louis. The attendees didn't have any idea where they were headed or what to expect. All they knew was that they were in for a five-course meal courtesy of John-Jack, an undercover chef who'd invited each of them via a top-secret e-mail to the latest of what he calls his Entre dinner parties. Guests arrived to a bluegrass band jamming in a room decorated with deer antlers. As a fire crackled in the massive stone fireplace, they dined on wild-elk medallions, home-cured bacon, grapefruit confit, and butternut squash ice cream—and toasted their good fortune with pumpkin ale from nearby microbrewery Schlafly.
Welcome to the world of underground supper clubs. Getting a reservation requires a little detective work, but once in, you may never go back to eating out the old-school way again. The idea behind these dinners is to let talented chefs work their whisks in an affordable, relaxed setting. And since they're often operating out of their own kitchens, without a license to serve the public, these cooks have to keep the locales, and their own identities, under wraps. "The trend started in food-centric cities like San Francisco, but in the last year, groups have been popping up across the country," says Jenn Garbee, author of Secret Suppers, which spotlights some of the more than 80 clubs now up and running in the U.S.
One such is Guerrilla Cuisine, founded by an incognito cook in Charleston, S.C., who uses the alias Jimihatt and wears a ninja mask at his gatherings. As at many clubs, diners must submit their reservations weeks in advance on Jimihatt's website and then wait for an e-mail with directions to the hush-hush locale. Based on his track record, you won't be disappointed: The bearded Jimihatt and his rotating crew of sous-chefs have served secret, Southern-style suppers (andouille sausage gumbo, Cajun smoked chicken, chocolate beignets) in galleries, wineries, even a grocery store.
Jimihatt now has a little friendly competition from an Atlanta cook named Lady Rogue. Her RogueApron shindigs each have a different theme. At a recent event, a Great Depression–style repast in Lang-Carson Park, guests stood in a soup line for pancetta minestrone with porcini mushrooms, and lemongrass-spiked corn broth. Then they divided into teams for an impromptu game of Wiffle ball. "Our goal," Lady Rogue says, "is to make dining more inclusive and to have strangers connect over food. What better way to meet people?"
For those hoping to break bread with their own buddies, there's 12B in Vancouver. To keep operations simple, its mastermind, Chef Todd, hosts the six-course dinners in his own apartment, hence the name. And unlike most supper clubs, 12B cooks only for groups of friends (up to 12 at a time). "Even after working 16-hour days, I would sit at home and think, 'I've got to find a way to feed more people,'" Chef Todd says. Money isn't the incentive. His minimum-donation fee of $50 just covers costs for a feast (stuffed artichoke hearts, five-mushroom ravioli, butter-poached scallops served with BBQ pulled pork) that would average twice as much in a restaurant. But as Chef Todd will attest, these clubs are less about saving and more about spending a night eating exceptionally well in the unlikeliest of places, whether a cozy lodge straight out of a fairy tale or a humble living room.

Derby History Quiz

Frances Eliza Osborne Kellogg may never have been mayor of Derby, but her impact even in death may have been much greater than if she had been elected. Her home on Hawthorne Avenue is now the Osborne Homestead Museum and the adjacent parcel of land is the Osbornedale State Park. This amazing woman who was "liberated" long before the term came into vogue had the foresight to leave the city a legacy of open space, respect for learning and love of the environment that will be here for generations to come.
The answer to this quiz could have been obtained by simply clicking on Mrs. Kellogg's picture which brings you to a short history of the Osbornes. Of course, you can learn a lot more and enjoy her legacy by visiting the museum, environmental center, state park and Derby Neck Library.

"SEVENTEEN Stay Pout is the long-wear lip colour with stain you need , for hours of kiss proof colour!! Containing Shea butter to keep lips soft." Boots website.
Available in fifteen (15) shades : Infared, Audition, Just a Fling, Rule Breaker, Showmance, Saintly, Its a Kiss Off, Make an Entrance, Kiss Me Quick, Going Steady, Its Complicated, Delinquent, Date Night, Fond Farewell and Man Hunt
I bought this lipstick in Man Hunt and here are my thoughts:
I can guarantee you that there is a shade in this collection for everyone. It's available in brown shades, reds, oranges, pinks, purples..just any shade you can think of. This is definitely a plus for a drugstore lipstick as most of the collections do not have such a huge variety of colours and even high end ones like the Shiseido Shimmering Rouge (review - here)
This lipstick retails for £4.49 which is a really good price for a lipstick.
There something about the packaging that I really like. It comes in a really nice, matte black packaging with a couple of glossy lines. I really like the simplicity of the packaging and the black matte packaging makes it really interesting in my opinion.
|Seventeen Stay Pout Lipstick in Man Hunt
- Good price
- Great lasting power
- A king of shimmery result
- Moisturizing
- Easy, soft and smooth application
- Doesn't transfer
- It doesn't apply evenly
- Weird smell
- Needs more than one coat

Rhett Felix, a first-year government and law teacher in Eureka, Illinois, has been suspended for six days and reassigned for showing clips of The Daily Show to high school students. The segments shown in class didn't focus on Jason Jones' vasectomy, but sexual harassment allegations against Herman Cain and the issue of health insurance discounts for exercising. Mayor Scott Punke, whose nephew was in the class, protested Felix's lesson because teens in their "conservative community" can't handle the Daily Show's dirty (and liberal) humor. He said:
"I did [support the suspension], because of the language and the sexual overtones that were included in the show that were being shown to sophomores in high school ... Many of the children don't even have TVs in their houses because of religious beliefs."
Felix has certainly learned his lesson about trying to get high school kids engaged in politics with sexy talk about health insurance discounts. Looks like it's back to reading from the textbook and watching old Schoolhouse Rock videos when Mr. Felix is out sick.

Drive, He Said
Written by Locke Peterseim on February 21, 2012 — 5 Comments
Some of us critics got a little googly eyed over director Nicolas Winding Refn's Drive when it hit U.S. theaters early last fall. (It had already been a sensation at Cannes earlier in the year.) Yes, it has Refn's confident balance of visual flair and economy and an instantly iconic tough-guy performance from Ryan Gosling. […]

CA-125 is a protein that is found more in ovarian cancer cells than in other cells. The protein enters the blood stream and can be easily measured.
This article discusses the blood test done to measure CA-125. The test is used to follow someone during and after
How the test is performed
How to prepare for the test
No preparation is necessary.
How the test will feel
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Why the test is performed
The test is often used to monitor women who have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. The test is useful if the CA-125 level was high when the cancer was first diagnosed. In these cases, the CA-125 test is a very good tool to determine if ovarian cancer treatment is working.
After surgery and chemotherapy, patients should have the test every 2 – 4 months for the first 2 years. This is followed by every 6 months for 3 years, and then yearly.
The CA-125 test may also be done if a woman has symptoms or findings on ultrasound that suggest ovarian cancer.
In general, the CA-125 is not a good test to screen healthy women for ovarian cancer when a diagnosis has not yet been made.
Normal Values
The normal value for a CA-125 depend on the lab running the test. In general, a level above 35 U/mL are considered abnormal.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What abnormal results mean
In a woman with known ovarian cancer, a rise in CA-125 usually means that the disease has progressed or recurred. A decrease in CA-125 usually means the disease is responding to treatment.
In a woman who has not already been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, an elevated CA-125 can mean a number of things. While it can indicate that she has ovarian cancer, it can also indicate other types of cancer, as well as several benign diseases such as endometriosis.
When used in healthy women, an elevated CA-125 usually does not mean ovarian cancer is present. The vast majority of healthy women with an elevated CA-125 do not have ovarian cancer (or any other cancer for that matter).
Any woman with an abnormal CA-125 test will need further tests, and sometimes invasive surgical procedures, to confirm the result. These additional tests all involve risks and anxiety.
Therefore, the CA-125 should not be considered an effective general screening test for ovarian cancer. Studies are underway to determine whether it might be effective when combined with other blood tests or radiologic studies.
What the risks are
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
- Excessive bleeding
- Fainting or feeling light-headed
- Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)

I am usually on the lookout for new and interesting ideas to pack for my lunch. I prefer light lunches that way I continue feeling alert in the afternoons.?
This rice recipe with cabbage works well, as it is light and not too heavy. It is easy to make and does not take a long time. If there is some left over rice from the previous night, then this gets done in a jiffy. All that is needed is to season and sauté the vegetables and then mix the powder and rice.?
I use the readymade MTR brand Vaangi Bhaat powder (easily available in the Indian store) for this dish. It is so flavorful and enhances the taste of cooked vegetables. Some people, who do not like cabbage, prefer eating this rice without problems. In this dish I do not add onions or garlic or tomatoes, but you can add it if you choose to.?
I change the vegetable depending on what is available in the fridge it could be capsicum, cabbage, eggplant, potato or even carrots.
- 1 cup rice (raw)
- 3 cups finely chopped cabbage
- 1 Tbsp vaangi bhat powder ( I use MTR brand readymade)
- ? tsp red chilli powder
- 1 Tbsp urad daal
- 2 Tbsp peanuts
- 5-10 curry leaves
- 2 Tbsp coriander leaves (for garnish)
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- ? tsp jeera seeds
- Juice of half lemon (optional)
- 2 Tbsp oil
- Salt to taste?
- Cook the rice separately either on stove top or pressure cooker using enough water. Make sure it cooks well without getting mushy.
- Take a plate and spread out the rice, add little oil and make sure there are no lumps.
- ?Heat a big skillet on medium and add oil on medium heat. Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, curry leaves and urad daal.
- After the urad daal is very lightly cooked add the peanuts and roast until it becomes crispy.
- Add the chopped cabbage, salt to this and stir. Cover with lid and let it cook.
- Add the chilli powder, vaangi bhaat powder and mix again. Again little oil if it is too dry.
- ?Add the rice and mix thoroughly. Cover the lid and let it cook for a minute or so.?
- Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and juice of lemon (optional). Serve hot.
- Tastes delicious as is or with side of raita and some roasted pappad.??

Nine charged over derby crowd trouble
Nine people have been charged after Sunday's derby between Manchester City and Manchester United, police said on Monday although they are still trying to identify the person who threw a coin at Rio Ferdinand.
United defender Ferdinand was cut just above his left eye after being hit by the coin while celebrating Robin van Persie's late goal which gave the Premier League leaders a 3-2 win at City's Etihad stadium.
"Despite fierce rivalry and high tension there was no major disorder," Greater Manchester Police chief inspector Steve Howard said in a statement.
"However, we will continue to investigate the coin throwing incident and are determined to work with the club to bring the perpetrator to justice."
City fan Matthew Stott, 21, ran on to the pitch and tried to reach Ferdinand as he was recovering but was restrained by the home side's goalkeeper Joe Hart.
Stott, one of two men charged with pitch encroachment, issued an apology through his solicitors on Monday, saying: "I would like to apologise to all those affected by my actions yesterday particularly Mr Ferdinand and the other players.
"I am extremely ashamed of my actions. I have let myself down, my family down, my fellow fans down and Manchester City Football club. I intend to write personally to Mr Ferdinand to express my extreme regret and apologies and also apologise to Manchester United and their fans.
"I would like to thank Joe Hart for his actions when I came on the pitch."
A total of 13 arrests were made by police. Of the nine people charged, one was for a racially aggravated public order offence.
Those charged are due to appear at Manchester City Magistrates' Court on January 4.
Manchester City also issued an apology to Ferdinand "unreservedly condemning the actions which led to him being injured" and in a strongly worded statement said they would discipline any fans found guilty of offences.
The FA is also investigating the incident which led to calls from the governing body's chairman David Bernstein to ban those found guilty of anti-social behaviour at football matches for life.
Professional Footballers' Association boss Gordon Taylor has suggested netting should be erected in vulnerable stadium zones, including corner flag areas, to protect players from objects thrown by the crowd.

Equipped with the skills and knowledge learned whilst studying BA hons in fashion design with Technology, as young designers they were initially tempted to start a clothing fashion label focusing on ladies wear, as it seemed like the most logical thing to do at the time.
Oliver "Fortunately our attention quickly turned to menswear because we realised that there wasn't many men's designers which we felt captured the styles and mentality of the young Brit male". Gia "We wanted to create a brand based on our fundamental vision for men's clothing being Contemporary, Good quality fabrics with attention to detailing and finishing". So what happens when the city's streets decide to put on their tees and jackets?
The British Nation brushes up into a bunch of super trendy, ultra cool ubranites … and Giaroye are their stylists. Giaroye Clothing captures the essence of Britain, embracing its traditions with elements of inner city youth culture. Its influences are mirrored in the look, easy to wear, casual smart and with all the proper components with a touch of Brit heritage.
Giaroye Clothing is an independent menswear fashion led label whose style focuses on a Semi - tailored/street look, being clean, crisp and a little bit classy, relying on the quality, detailing and cut to carry the look of the brand. Taken as a whole Giaroye Clothing aims to complement the British style of menswear, its distinctive looks include the use of sportswear styling and insert piping detailing, with a mix of traditional wool fabrics, which creates a versatile look.
A bit like a gentleman with a streetwise attitude, they take pride in being British but realise that the days of the bowler hat are over, the modern gent needs to adapt. The versatile cut of the garments make sure you look fly even when you're on the fly, and don't be surprised when people start asking you what tailor you went to rather than which Sports store.
Giaroye manufacture their range in the UK using British mills to buy their fabrics, and when this can't be achieved, as close to home as possible. "Giaroye believe in British manufacturing and continue to manufacture and source fabrics and trimmings from the UK". They take a lot of pride in being a Brit fashion led label and want their brand to embody that pride, which is achieved by always trying to have garments made in England, with only limited quantities produced.
Equally at home on the floor next to the bed as at the bar, Giaroye garments are with you for the ride. Distinctive or instinctive is up to you, but if you're new generation Best of the Brit pack, Giaroye has already chosen you. More than just a fashion label, we are Giaroye.
