Majang Meat Market - Seoul
I saw online that this is like a whole sale for meat in Seoul. I can get great quality meat for a fraction of the price. I can also buy the meat at the butcher and they will take me to a nearby restaurant where I can cook and eat my meat immediately. I like this idea and decided to come check it out.
I am not sure about the opening hours of this meat market. I got there around 8pm and almost everything was closed. The alley with lots of Korea BBQ next to this market is open though. However, I wanted to get my meat in the market instead of the restaurant. So, we left and came back here the next day. I somehow think that the market closed so early was because it was January 1st. Maybe they close on January 1st?
It's so deserted when everything is closed.
So, here we are back on the next day! Everything is opened!
There are lots of different cuts of meat. It seems there most of them sell beef. There are still pork, but not as much. As for the pricing, it's definitely a lot cheaper than when you order in a restaurants. As I mentioned before, I thought pork in Korea taste a lot better than beef. So, i didn't have much expectation for beef here. We looked through the display fridge with lots of different cut of beef. We tried to communicate with our body language to ask what type of cuts they are and if they will take us to a restaurant to cook the meet. Surprisingly, we managed to do that! That was a funny experience. We probably looking like idiots if somebody looked at as from afar.
We bought a pack of beef from a shop and the lady took us up these stairs to a restaurant where they charged us 5,000 won per head. They would then provide us with lots of kimchi and sauce for barbecuing our meat.
So this is the pack of beef we got for 45,000 won. At another restaurant, I order beef for 30,000 won for just 1/3 of this amount. To make it worse, the 30,000 won worth of beef I got in another restaurant was very crappy. If you love beef and want some quality meat, I'd definitely recommend coming here.
The shop owner also gave us "free service" meaning a pack of free pork, in the following picture.
Look at the pretty beef with the quite evenly distributed fat. I could already tell it was going to taste great.
The beef was so soft and juicy and buttery! I couldn't believe we could get beef of this quality with the price we paid. We ate our 45,000 won worth of beef and thought it's too good to stop. So, we went out to buy another 10,000 won of beef. In addition to the 15,000 won service fee (5,000 won per person), we each paid about USD$23 for our lunch. It's more expensive than the other meals we've had in Seoul, but it's still pretty cheap compared to the price in Hong Kong. Actually I wonder if we were ripped off at all. Is it possible to pay a cheaper price for the same quality of meat? Anyone knows?
I like how the grill is slanted with an opening for the oil and grease to drip down. Look at all the oil in the bowl!
Here are some more pictures of the market. Lots of animal parts lying around everywhere.
I will definitely come here again next time if I visit Seoul!
It is best to get off at Yongdu station exit 4 than at Majang Station. If you get off at Yongdu station exit 4, you will come across the Cheonggyecheon river/stream. It's a really pretty place to take pictures and a nice walk.

Lids are useful.
Lids are the things you put on boxes or jars to keep the contents in, safe, fresh or dry.
Eye lids are the part you close to cover up your eyes.
But as an idiom, keeping the lid on something is about keeping something from coming out into the open or into the public domain.
The government sold weapons to Iraq but they kept the lid on it.
Here's a guy who doesn't know how they keep the lid on a hallucinatory drug called DMT. He just doesn't know how - probably because he's stoned is my guess!

Kelly Ann Hudson was under the influence of alcohol and a prescription drug when her minivan collided head-on with a car occupied by four people, killing passenger Joyce Parsons. The sentence range is 8 1/2 years to just over 11 years in prison. Prosecutors will recommend the higher end of the sentence range when Hudson is sentenced on Nov. 22. Kirkland police say Hudson was driving south in the 12000 block of Juanita Drive Northeast when she crossed the centerline just before 9 p.m. and collided with the northbound minivan. Just before the crash, Kirkland police received a 911 call from a witness who was following Hudson's vehicle, concerned that the driver was impaired, police said. The emergency dispatch center was still on the line with the caller when the collision occurred. Hudson was the second person to be charged in King County since increased sentence ranges for vehicular homicide (DUI) went into effect in June 2012. Under the new law, the standard range sentence increased from 31-41 months to 78-102 months, making it equal to the range for first-degree manslaughter.

Environmental law regulates the interaction of humanity with the rest of the biophysical (natural) environment to reduce the impact of human activity on both the environment and, ultimately, humanity itself. Attitudes toward environmental protection and management have changed over the past decade with climate change and the protection of the environment becoming increasingly important globally.
In South Africa, the right to an environment that is not harmful to one's health or well-being is not only seen as important, but is also guaranteed by the Constitution. There is a progressive environmental regulatory system with an intricate web of legislation that gives effect and substance to this right, and the result of this is both significant and far-reaching on businesses and commercial related activities.
With this complex and developing sector comes a greater need for legal counsel and advice to ensure the effective management of corporate environmental and resource strategies and impact. At ENSafrica (Edward Nathan Sonnenbergs), our experience and expertise relating to these stricter and ever-changing regulations combined with our understanding of our clients' requirements enables us to assist clients in making informed and often critical decisions.
As Africa's largest law firm, our ability to cross reference with other business areas within the firm means we can offer legal, tax, forensics and IP assistance in all areas pertaining to the environment and our clients, both local and international, therefore receive the most cost effective and the best possible all-round solutions to their needs.

|The Isinglass River
|Report to the General Court
Beginning at the outlet of Bow Lake, the Isinglass River flows freely for approxproximately 18 miles through the communities of Strafford, Barrington, and Rochester until it joins the Cocheco River. The Isinglass River watershed, which includes the Mohawk River, Nippo Brook, Berrys River, Green Hill Brook, and the outlets of Hanson and Ayers Ponds, is approximately 75 square miles. Despite being situated in one of the fastest growing regions of the state, the Isinglass River is appreciated from a state and local perspective for itsas having outstanding, natural beauty, historical, educational, educational, water supply and quality, recreational, and wildlife and plant characteristics.
Natural Beauty
Most of the Isinglass remains in a naturral state with its banks lined by natural vegetation. There are few docks and, no manmade impoundments or diversions (not including withdrawals) along its entire length. Numerous areas of rapids occur along the river, including Locke's Falls, which is a site of singular beauty.
The beauty of the Isinglass in its present natural state is threatened by its location in one of the two most rapidly growing areas of the state. It does not have the protection afforded streams in more remote areas. The Regional Watershed map appended shows the river's proximity to the Seacoast.
The Isinglass offers pre-European archaeological evidence of Native American trails and living sites in its corridor. A Squamnanamagonic American Indian settlement in present-day Gonic is currently being restored.
The Isinglass also offers archeological sites that define the evolution of local economies from the eighteenth 18th century through to the mid-twentieth 20th century. A series of mills once operated along the river and its tributaries, which are now evidenced by their remaining foundations. The mills bear witness to production activities ranging from lumbering to agricultural products to fabric. Currently underway are efforts recognizing these mills collectively as a Historic District of value in New Hampshire's economic history. The Ayers Lake Campground, on Ayers Pond, which drains into the Isinglass via Betty's Brook, has been declared eligible at the state level for recognition as a Historic Site of early tourism. The ancestors of the present owners built its cabins in the last quarter of the 19th century.
The Isinglass has served as a laboratory for local students in grades K-12. The use of a river that is local, and known to the students, has promoted a strong sense of stewardship and provided a unique incentive and opportunity to engage them in projects such as water testing, examining drainage patterns, wildlife and plant identification, and investigating land use over time. In collaboration with the Cocheco River Watershed Coalition, the Isinglass communities are taking advantage of on-going opportunities to develop appropriate river-related curricula and provide teacher training.
Water Supply and Quality
The Isinglass contributes directly to the drinking water of the City of Dover and recharges numerous wells along its length. The River recharges Barrington's northern aquifer. Its high quality contributes significantly to the health of the water body into which it flows; the Cocheco River.
Present-day Bow Lake is approximately twice as large as it was before a dam was erected at the origin of the Isinglass. The expanded lake provides excellent swimming, boating, and fishing opportunities that are available to residents and visitors. Below the dam, the river is actively used for hiking, fishing, swimming, and boating. The Isinglass is referred to in the AMC River Guide/New Hampshire-Vermont as having 10 miles of flatwater and quickwater of Class I and II, navigable during high water from late March to the end of April. The Isinglass has formal and informal public access sites including canoe access at three sites. More access information can be found on The Isinglass River Nomination web page.
Wildlife Habitat and Uncommon Vegetation
The Isinglass River provides habitat for many species of wildlife, such as deer, beaver, mink, and barred owls. Significant areas of unfragmented land still exist and offer river-access to wildlife. In a number of sections, the river connects unfragmented parcels. Rare natural communities such as a Black Gum/Red Maple Basin Swamp and a Northern New England Rich Mesic Forest are found within these parcels. Uncommon herbaceous species, such as wild lupine and yellow lady slipper, have also been identified within the river corridor.

Liberal Arts as a career
Liberal arts majors are sometimes teased about having no direction in school and wasting their time in college without picking up practical, easily marketable skills that will help them find a job. But just because a liberal arts degree doesn't point to a single career path doesn't mean it isn't a highly productive way to spend your time in college. Liberal arts majors do need to work with advisors to create their own career preparation, but the subjects that fall into the liberal arts — English, history, religion, foreign languages, anthropology, political science, music, and more — can provide a basis of education that will leave you even more prepared for the real-world job market than your pre-med or finance friends. Subjects in the liberal arts will train you to become an independent thinker who can develop logical arguments and creative solutions to real-world problems, based on studying history, critiquing literature, and analyzing human nature. You will most likely pick a specialty within the liberal arts major, but even if you decide to major in liberal studies or liberal arts alone, you will have the freedom to pick your own classes that interest you and will prepare you for a career that holds real meaning for you.
Because the liberal arts discipline is so diverse, giving an overview of the career outlook for this field is extremely difficult. But if you're able to design a cohesive major and apply your education to the real world in a marketable way, you will be eligible for all types of promising careers in business and public relations, the social sciences, media, education, design, the arts, entertainment, and more.
Many students question the career opportunities available to them with a liberal arts background. Some believe their marketability is limited. However, the reality is that liberal arts graduates find employment in business, government, education, and the non-profit sector. General knowledge skills developed through liberal arts studies can have a significant effect on your career development. Although technical skills may be helpful with securing an initial job offer, general knowledge skills may contribute more to long-term employment success.
Liberal Arts puts great emphasis on inter-disciplinary perspectives and helps us understand the fact that life is not divided into majors, though universities offer degrees in a chosen field. Notably, what employers have been increasingly realizing is that it is the graduates with the right skills rather than the right majors who have an edge in the competitive marketplace nowadays.
Also, it is largely dawning among people that a Liberal Arts Education prepares students for real life challenges in a way that vocational schools often cannot promise to deliver. In today's economy, employers are on a lookout for qualities like desirable skills including written and verbal communication skills, the ability to solve complex problems and adapt well in a changing workplace, which are the hallmark of a Liberal Arts Education.
Thus, it can be understood that a Liberal Arts Education prepares students to assume positions of leadership, while being flexible in the market place. Many Institutions in India are now providing liberal education in India focussed on research and technology, providing a dynamic and unique academic system which includes key features like an innovative evaluation system, freedom to choose your degree and number of credits, and a flexible graduation pace among many other welcome things.
Social Sciences as a career
Social science refers to the academic disciplines concerned with society and human nature. "Social science" is commonly used as an umbrella term to refer to subjects like anthropology, archaeology, criminology, economics, education, linguistics, law, communication studies, history, political science, sociology, human geography and psychology.
Social science studies give you the skills to work in a range of jobs across different sectors. It is commonly seen that the majority of social science graduates and post graduates take employment within academia, but many postgraduates find work in other sectors. Although academia is the sector where most graduates find employment, the skills acquired through social science studies can be used in many types of employment – a valuable asset not least in today's job market. Career options for social science graduates include:
- Teaching
- Research
- Central and local government
- Politics
- Public services (for instance civil and diplomatic services, police and prison services)
- Health and social care
- Banking and finance
- Business management
- Advertising and marketing
- Journalism and broadcasting
- Accountancy
- Law
- Campaigning
Social science studies equip you for a range of jobs – not least important in today's job market. Among the skills you gain are:
- putting together reasoned arguments and question assumptions
- understanding the processes of change in society and its institutions
- drawing together, analyzing and critically evaluating information
- communicating concisely, clearly and accurately with others
- managing time and taking on responsibility for your own development
- responding positively to critical feedback
- interpreting, using and evaluating data.
In India, Social Sciences are often opted for while students prepare for the Civil Services Examination.

It's General Conference weekend, my friends. A time for inspiring messages to help you stand a little taller, and decadent breakfast foods to make you feel a little fuller. This is my all-time favorite french toast recipe (coming from a girl who hated the stuff all growing up). I don't have any photos to tantalize you with--some things mustn't get cold in a photo shoot--but it looks something like this:
And makes you feel a little like this:
Sadly, we won't be making it this year--it calls for Great Harvest cinnamon swirl bread, and our nearest is a nearly an hour away--so make a batch or two for me, will you?
Best French Toast Recipe Ever
Mix together:
4 eggs
2/3 cup cream
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Pinch of salt
Dip slices of Great Harvest cinnamoon swirl bread into egg mixture and cook both sides on a hot griddle. Slather in that amazing buttermilk syrup recipe that you probably already have, but I'll post below just in case, and then add a dollop of whipped cream and then some banana and strawberry slices (to keep it healthy). Makes enough for 6-8 really thick slices.
Best Buttermilk Syrup Recipe Ever (you know this already)
Melt together in a pan on the stove:
1 cube butter
1 cup sugar
Then add:
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla or maple flavoring
Continue stirring over medium heat until it gets all frothy white. Remove from heat and serve warm.

If you are going to enroll your dog or puppy in a day care service, it is recommended that you case out day cares with scrutiny the same way that you might scrutinize out a school for one o your kids. You should take a tour of each individual facility and ask a lot of pertinent questions each step along the way. If you need dog day care services then have a peek at this site: http://topdogtrainingandresort.com.
Besides doing a search on the web, ask different pet owners to get referrals of places they've used and talk to the community petstore, veternarians and you also your dressing group for references.

Be sure that all individual centre that you see enables one to see wherever your creature is likely to soon be eating and sleeping. Remain free from places that won't allow you to see pieces of the centre. Get a Sense of your employees.
Is it true that the spot require evidence of vaccinations and spay/neutering? Otherwise, do not ship your furry friend. All facilities must scrub with representatives which kill virus and bacteria, draining nicely after.
All facilities need a romantic relationship with a community vet therefore when there's a issue, help is along the method. Request the name of their vet and create a telephone call to the practice, simply to make sure. Visit places without a scheduled appointment.

OILDALE, Calif. — Two generations after it first brimmed with Dust Bowl migrants, this sprawling oil town remains saddled with a reputation for roughnecks and racists.
Some residents claim that the lingering stigma is unfair. But others point to recent hate crimes and say Oildale remains a mostly white enclave where blacks are not safe.
"If you're black, you're always looking over your shoulder," said Art Powell, a former president of the NAACP chapter in nearby Bakersfield.
"You're always wondering if one of those clowns might be around the corner."
David Brandon of the Chamber of Commerce denies that Oildale is a pocket of racial hatred.
"There's no more racial bias here than anywhere else," he said.
But Powell contends that two recent attacks on black motorists underscore racial attitudes dating back to the 1930s, when swarms of rural southerners from Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas sought a better life in California.

Edwin Encarnacion is no longer a Blue Jay. He is now a member of the Cleveland Indians, having signed a three-year, $60 million contract this week.
News of Edwin's departure has divided Blue Jays fans from coast-to-coast-to-coast. Whereas some blame management for losing a great slugger and fan favourite, others blame Edwin's agent for misreading the market.
Our take is that the business of baseball itself is to blame.
The facts show that Edwin was offered a 4-year, $80 million contract. In a market where the top rate was $25 million a year, this offer was very good considering Edwin's age and overall baseball skill. Although Edwin is one of the best power hitters in baseball, fans must acknowledge that he is not fleet of foot and that his batting average generally sits between .260 and .270. So he did not command $25 million a year.
Media reports say that Edwin wanted to stay in Toronto. The question one must then ask is why was the Blue Jays $80 million offer rejected?
Playing devil's advocate, management may have interpreted the rejection as a sign of insincerity. $80 million is a lot of money, even in professional baseball. If a player of Edwin's calibre truly wanted to remain a Blue Jay, then the offer should have been accepted, especially now that we now that his value on the market was $20 million a year.
The Blue Jays are obligated to field a competitive team. Indeed failure on the part of President Shapiro and GM Adkins could put their jobs in jeopardy. So once Edwin rejected the offer, Blue Jays management was required to examine contingencies. If they waited and signed nobody and then also lost Edwin, Blue Jays fans and the media would be levelling even more criticism at management. And so Blue Jays management did exactly what a good business would do; a key employee rejected a contract and they hired somebody else who they thought could be of value to the team.
The reality for the Blue Jays is that they lack depth in the farm system. Going for broke in 2015 with the acquisitions of David Price and Troy Tulowitzki cost the team a lot of young talent. The trade for R.A. Dickey a few years ago also cost Toronto two talented young stars.
And so Toronto must rebuild and look to future to secure new young talent and secure the young talent that it currently possesses on the pitching mound, namely Stroman, Sanchez and Osuna.
We wish Edwin all the best in Cleveland. He was a terrific player here and brought Blue jays fans a lot of joy. But in the professional baseball business we must recognize that very good players often finish their careers with teams other than the teams where they had the most success or where they provided fans with the most fond memories.

I am happy to report that at my office we made it through Valentine's Day and Easter without seeing too many dogs who binged on holiday chocolate or cats exposed to Easter lilies. (Yes, lilies are toxic to cats. If you don't know that by now, you haven't been reading my column faithfully. Bad reader! Go lie down!)
The next big national holiday coming up, if we don't count Cinco de Mayo or Hallmark occasions like Mother's Day, is (gulp) Memorial Day. You know what that means. People across the Island opening up houses that have been closed all winter. Caretakers going, with their dogs, to turn the water back on in houses with antifreeze in the toilets. Summer folk arriving, with their dogs, to houses with trays of forgotten rat poison in the kitchen.
Every spring it goes something like this. "Hey Doc, I just opened the house I caretake and Deke, my dumb dog, ran in and before I knew it, he was lapping the antifreeze in the john. Is that gonna be a problem?" Or "My dear Dr. Jasny. We are so glad to be back. We just arrived for the season, and Fifi, bless her heart, well, it seems our dreadfully careless caretaker left some rather nasty rat poison out and wouldn't you just know it? Our little darling actually ate it. I do think we ought to come see you right away, don't you agree?"
Yes and yes. As far as antifreeze goes, let me just hit the key points quickly. Antifreeze. Deadly. Even in tiny doses. Get help immediately. Really. Immediately. Like in right away. Not after lunch. Not after you finish what you're doing. RIGHT NOW!! Do not wait to see if Deke starts looking sick. Clinical signs of antifreeze toxicity can take days to appear. By that point Deke is not only a dumb dog, he is a dead dog. Now let's move on to today's main topic.
Anticoagulant rodenticides (ACRs). Now that's a mouthful. Anticoagulant means "against clotting." Rodenticide means "rodent killer." ACRs work by messing with an animal's ability to properly produce Vitamin K, which is essential for normal blood clotting. A critter who consumes enough ACR eventually bleeds to death. But just like with antifreeze toxicity (which kills by causing kidney failure), the deleterious effects of ACR ingestion do not occur immediately. It can take days before Deke shows signs. Therefore, veterinarians can face two different situations with ACR ingestion.
The first scenario is " acute ingestion," i.e. Deke ate the stuff within the last few hours. In these cases, the first priority is to get the poison out of Deke's gastrointestinal tract by inducing vomiting. It is best to have your veterinarian do this with apomorphine rather than your trying at home with hydrogen peroxide, since the former is more effective in completely emptying the stomach than the latter. Time is of the essence, so get to the doctor fast, but do take a minute to collect any remaining product and packaging you can find to bring along.
Most commercially available rodenticides are anticoagulants, but there are other products out there such as metaldehyde, strychnine, zinc phosphate, and bromethalin that have different mechanisms of action and require different treatments. Packaging will help the doctor accurately identify the toxin, as well as the strength and precisely how much Deke ate. Even you can only salvage a few saliva-soaked scraps of paper, over the years I have pieced together many such jigsaw puzzles to get useful information.
After Deke upchucks, your veterinarian may administer activated charcoal (a substance which stays in the gut binding any remaining toxin to prevent further absorption) then prescribe oral vitamin K supplements for two to four weeks. Some ACRs can be extremely long-acting, so length of treatment depends on the particular toxin, another good reason to bring that package. If Deke absorbed some of the poison despite our decontamination efforts, giving oral vitamin K during this period insures we will avoid any clotting problems.
Some veterinarians, if confident that their patient really barfed up all the poison, will not give the oral vitamin K but instead will regularly monitor Deke's clotting ability over time. Frankly, I am too chicken for this approach and would rather be safe than sorry. When Deke has completed his course of Vitamin K, blood tests can confirm that his clotting ability is up to par all on his own.
The second scenario veterinarians see occurs three to five days after ACR ingestion, when Fifi develops clinical signs. These may include lethargy, depression, bruising, nose bleeds, or blood in her stool, urine, or vomit. If she is bleeding internally all you may see is coughing and pale gums. Clinical ACR toxicity is a deadly situation. It is too late for simple Vitamin K administration, which can take up to 24 hours to kick in. Fifi could bleed to death in the meantime. She needs to be hospitalized, at a speciality facility with a blood bank where she can get multiple transfusions of plasma or whole blood, 24-hour-care, oxygen, and specific therapy depending on where in her body she is bleeding. The worst prognosis is bleeding into the brain or lungs. The good news is that if you get Fifi to the specialist quickly enough, the prognosis is fairly good. Unlike dogs with clinical antifreeze toxicity who usually die from irreversible kidney failure, Fifi has a good chance of surviving the crisis and coming home within a few days.Home. Where from now on you are going to make sure any mouse and rat poison is safely ensconced in pet-proof " black boxes" from the hardware store, right?
Now go open those houses, but leave the dog in the truck (or the BMW) until you have thoroughly checked for antifreeze in the john and rat poison in the kitchen. You did well so far this year keeping them safe from the chocolate and flowers. Keep up the good work.

Aunt Alice passed away Monday November 3, 2008 very early in the morning. It's taken me a little while to be able to write about it.
Alice was named after her mother. Of four siblings, she was the last to join them in heaven. Alice's youngest sister was my grandma, June. I loved Alice. As a child, we visited her and Uncle Mitch in Roswell, New Mexico; and all I remember was love, peace and joy. I am trying not to regret that our relationship in the past few years has been through an annual Christmas letter.
I have not lost many in this lifetime. My grandma June died when I was still in sixth grade and it was very, very traumatic for my sister and me. I still had nightmares and panic attacks in seventh grade over it. I will miss you, Grandma June,until that Day.
My family was not rich in treasure, but very rich in love and faith. My childhood family get togethers were a smorgasbord of love, joy, charity, and faith. We got together every holiday and many other times throughout the year. My Grandad, Aunt Alice's brother-in-law, was a preacher. He planted four Churches -- that I can remember -- with his own two hands, he even assisted with most of the building construction. I know we were at each Church dedication, as a family. These are memories that keep me going sometimes. They tell me that heaven is wonderful. It must be, if times such as these happen on earth, what great joy we will find in heaven.
Alice, June, Hattie, and Gene did not grow up rich. They were some of the first settlers in Oklahoma and New Mexico. Their parents traveled a great distant to give them a home, a hope, and a future. They lived in harmony with, intermixed and intermarried with the Native Americans, the true people of our great land.
I don't know much more about her. I know she is a fiber of my being and that she was truly important to me. I am not a scrapbook bunny. I don't collect pictures or news clippings. I am a writer. I collect stories. Aunt Alice, this is for you. And yet, I am not done. I will find more of your stories. I will not rest until they are written. I promise you, I will pass on to the next generation, your legacy of Faith, hope, love, joy, peace and charity.
I love you. I'll see when I get there.

Round Three: Concluding Remarks
In my opening statement I pointed out that 370 elected Democrats have switched and become Republicans since Clinton was elected in November of 1992. Phone calls and a letter to the Democratic National Committee asking how many Republicans have switched to Democrat have won the reply, "We aren't counting." This reminds me of people who are losing at tennis asking, "We aren't really keeping score, are we?" I put more stock in individuals who -- in their own towns, cities, and states -- bet their lives and careers that they are moving toward the winning team. Why bet on the forecasts of pundits who risk nothing if they are wrong? In round two of this exchange Chris Caldwell asked how many Democrats have become Republicans since the 1996 elections. Well, let's count. There were 2l4 switchers in the forty-eight months before the November, 1996, election (the one Caldwell finds so traumatic for the GOP) and 156 in the eighteen months since. This means that prior to the November, 1996, election an average of 4.45 Democrats switched to the GOP each month, and after November, 1996, fully 8.66 Democrats switched and became Republicans. The trend to the GOP is accelerating.
Also, since last we exchanged words on this topic Herman Badillo, the first Puerto Rican elected to Congress, has stood beside Rudy Guiliani in New York and become a Republican.
What Do You Think?
Join the debate in The Body Politic.
Stanley Greenberg believes that I should put more weight on the presidential-election results of 1992 and 1996. Greenberg urges us to discount the fact that thirty-two out of fifty states have Republican governors -- and that more than seventy-five percent of Americans live in those thirty-two states. We are further to discount the Republican majorities in the House and Senate and the growing strength of the GOP at the state legislative level -- there are now more than 500 more state reps and state senators than when Clinton won in 1992. Even liberals acknowledge that the Republican Party will increase its number of governors and senators this November.
But let's ignore the trends at the state and congressional level. Let's examine Bill Clinton's results in 1992 and 1996. In 1992, Bill Clinton won forty-three percent of the presidential vote. Less than Dukakis in 1988. Then, in 1996, with peace, prosperity, millions in illegal campaign contributions, and running against the last pre-Reagan Republican, Clinton won a whopping forty-nine percent. Not even a majority.
Greenberg argues that Clinton is like Reagan. No. Not even close. Reagan won with fifty percent in a three-way race in 1980, sweeping eleven senators and thirty-plus House members in with him. Reagan won re-election with sixty percent of the vote.
Clinton is more like Eisenhower, the Republican who validated the New Deal and allowed the Democrats to take the House and Senate. Clinton opposed welfare reform and was forced to sign the Republican welfare-reform bill. Clinton opposed Medicare reform and signed the Republican bill after demagoguing the same bill before the election. Clinton opposed the cut in the death tax and the capital-gains tax cut and signed both. Clinton opposed the IRS-reform bill and now says he will sign the Republican bill. Clinton signed Freedom to Farm.
And last, despite Clinton's rhetoric the Democratic Party remains the party of labor-union bosses, rich trial lawyers, corrupt big-city machines, welfare bureaucrats -- those who view the proper role of government as taking money from those who earned it and giving it to the politically well-connected. This group that controls the party purse-strings forces Clinton and the Democrats to support higher taxes, oppose tax cuts, enact such stealth taxes as the "Gore Tax" (now appearing on everyone's phone bill), and oppose tort reform (desperately needed by the high-tech community Gore claims to support).
And there is more good news for Republicans. The 1998 elections will determine who controls redistricting at the state level in all fifty states, and Republicans are prepared to increase their number of governships. This will lock in control of the House of Representatives for the GOP for another ten years. Cheers.

The Occupational Health and Safety Division (OHS) provides support and information to help identify hazards and prevent incidents that could cause illness, injury, or death. Everyone in the workplace is legally responsible for safety.
Below are prevention tips and guidelines for retail premises, offices, schools and public buildings.
Indoor air quality means the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of the air in a non-residential workplace (e.g., an office) where there are no work processes or operations that could affect the workers' comfort.
Some of most common symptoms of poor indoor air quality are headaches, skin irritation and dizziness.
Employers who own late night retail premises are required to conduct workplace hazard assessments that comply with the approved safety standards for their industry. Once the hazards have been identified, the risks can be assessed and the appropriate controls or preventative measures can be put in place. A hazard assessment for late night retail premises must be reviewed and updated every three years. Updates must also be made whenever there is a change in circumstances.
The Indoor Air Quality Guide assists workplaces with investigating and resolving common indoor air quality concerns. It is intended for workplaces such as offices, schools, and retail outlets. It is not intended for home-based businesses, manufacturing, or other industrial workplaces.
The Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, 1996 requires employers of late night retail premises to put additional safety measures in place to protect workers.
A late night premises is a place of employment that is open to the public between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. for the purposes of making retail sales to consumers. Retail sales include such businesses as convenience stores and gas stations but do not include hotels, food, or alcohol services.
Employers who own late night retail premises are required to conduct workplace hazard assessments that comply with the approved safety standards for their industry. Once the hazards have been identified, the risks can be assessed and the appropriate controls or preventative measures can be put in place. A hazard assessment for late night retail premises must be reviewed and updated every three years. Updates must also be made whenever there is a change in circumstances.
An employer who owns a late night retail premises, must implement the following additional safety measures:
In addition, employers who have one employee working alone must:
The Saskatchewan Employment Act (the Act) requires employers who own retail establishments open to the public between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. to develop and implement a written violence policy statement and prevention plan. During the preparation of this document, the employer must consult with their workplace occupational health committee, OHS representative, or where there is no committee or representative, the workers.
For more information on how to develop and implement a written violence policy and prevention plan, please visit Preventing Violence in the Workplace.
Employers are required to establish safety measures for people who are working alone or at isolated places of employment.
To work alone means working at a worksite as the only worker in circumstances where assistance is not readily available in the event of an injury, ill health or an emergency.
An isolated place of employment refers to a workplace/site that is located in an area where emergency response assistance is not nearby.
Under Regulation 35 of The Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, 1996, the steps to eliminate or reduce the health and safety risks of working alone or at an isolated place of employment are:

Teaching About Abstinence in Two N.J. Schools
Ridgewood, N.J.
Near the top of a sheet of newsprint taped to the blackboard here in Evelyn Shalom's 9th-grade class, students have written the word "horny'' as a reason teenage girls have sexual intercourse.
"I'll grant you the hormones are raging,'' says Ms. Shalom, "but who thinks it's a good reason to have sex?''
A few hands pop up, but the majority disagrees. "You can't just do it because you feel like it,'' says Kitty Lawn. "You have to control your emotions because of the consequences.''
Ms. Shalom concurs. "I think it's a terrible reason.''
Although she neither lectures nor dwells at length on sexual abstinence, the students in Ms. Shalom's classes at Ridgewood High School have no doubt how their teacher feels about teenage sex.
Sexual intercourse, in the health educator's view, is inappropriate for teenagers.
Emphasizing Abstinence
Ms. Shalom's methods may not be enough, however, for lawmakers who want to compel New Jersey public schools to stress abstinence as the only reliable method for preventing pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, including AIDS. (See Education Week, June 9, 1993.)
Last week, the legislature fell four votes shy of overriding a veto by James J. Florio, the outgoing Democratic Governor, of a bill mandating abstinence teaching.
The conflict has abated only temporarily. Sen. Gerald Cardinale, a prime sponsor of the vetoed bill, said last week that he plans to file a new version of the measure. If passed by the Republican-majority legislature, it will go to the new Governor, Christine Todd Whitman, a Republican who Mr. Cardinale believes will be more sympathetic.
Critics see the bill as part of an ominous trend that could have a chilling effect on classrooms like Ms. Shalom's.
"This is part of a nationwide effort from people who are anti-sex-education,'' said Susan Wilson, a member of a coalition that opposed the bill. "They are going to push very, very hard on this.''
In numerous states, some parents and politicians, as well as conservative-Christian groups, are seeking to revamp sex education, arguing that the way it has been taught promotes teenage sex.
'We Promote Thought'
A pioneer in the field of family-life and human-sexuality education, the New Jersey state board of education in 1980 mandated that schools teach sex education.
The board left to local councils of educators, parents, and community members, however, the questions of what and how to teach. Parents were given the option of removing their children from the classes.
Beginning in 1988, a few Republicans in the legislature began pushing abstinence-instruction bills. They succeeded last year, only to have Governor Florio veto the legislation.
Under that bill, teachers would still have been able to discuss contraception. But they would have been required to emphasize that abstinence is the only certain way of preventing pregnancy and disease.
Although districts would not have had to toss old materials, new ones would have had to follow that theme. If parents contested the existing materials, the district would have had to remove them.
While the bill did not specify what level of parental dissatisfaction would force a switch, Assemblywoman Marion Crecco, the bill's other chief sponsor, told reporters that three complaining parents would suffice.
Mr. Cardinale said his new bill would require districts to allow all parents and members of the clergy in a community to become members of the local council. Materials would be eliminated if a majority of either the clergypersons or the parents on the council opposed them.
Educators are uncertain how the bill would affect their teaching. But they believe that some lawmakers have inaccurately portrayed their classroom activities.
"I want the public to know what really goes on in health-education classes,'' said Ms. Shalom. "We don't promote promiscuity; we promote discussion. We promote thought.''
"We promote sound decisionmaking ahead of time, not at the spur of the moment,'' she said. "For people in the legislature to think we promote promiscuity is absurd.''
Deciding About Sex
Ms. Shalom has taught health for 11 years in Ridgewood, a predominantly upper-middle-class community in northern New Jersey.
Having been exposed to sex education since they entered kindergarten, Ms. Shalom's students also are thoroughly accustomed to the subject as a topic of classroom discussion. They do not giggle or snicker as they discuss the issues.
On a day this month, the lesson centers on sexual decisionmaking.
Ms. Shalom divides her class into six small groups and gives them each a piece of newsprint upon which she has written one of six questions: Why do teenage girls have sexual intercourse? Why do they not? Why do teenage boys have intercourse? Why do they not? Why do teenagers who engage in sex use protection? Why do they not protect themselves?
The students are told to write down all the answers they can, and then the class will reconvene to discuss the lists.
A debate ensues in the group pondering the reasons boys do not engage in sex.
"How many teen guys say they're not mentally mature enough to have sex?'' a female student asks.
"Some would. I would,'' replies an earnest young man.
The task completed, the newsprint is taped to the blackboard.
As the lists are read, Ms. Shalom asks the students if the reasons they have cited are good.
Peer pressure, curiosity, and experimentation are brought up.
"Would the same reasons for doing this be the same reasons for trying drugs?'' Taylor Caprio asks.
"What do you think?'' asks Ms. Shalom.
"Yeah,'' says Ms. Caprio.
How Long To Wait?
In another class, the discussion turns to how long the students are willing to wait until they become sexually active.
"I don't think waiting until marriage is that important, but being with someone you love,'' says one young woman.
Ms. Shalom asks how many would wait until marriage. Five hands go up. Seriously in love? Sixteen hands. Both people consent? A single hand.
Ms. Shalom probes further. "How do you get to the point where you know you're really serious?''
The responses are longer in coming, but when they do, it is clear the students are thinking about consequences.
"Would you be willing to marry the person,'' says Dan Pollock.
"If you get pregnant, could you raise the baby,'' says Jamie Weil.
It is also clear the students want to learn about the consequences.
"We know everything we can about abstinence,'' says Jessica Medina. "You don't have sex. But [stressing abstinence] is not giving us all the facts and consequences.''
'Say No'
South of Ridgewood, Lisa Frederick stands before 20 6th graders and asks them what is the surest way not to get AIDS.
"Say no,'' they respond in unison.
"I can't hear you,'' she says.
"No,'' they yell louder.
"I can't hear you.''
"No,'' they yell even louder.
With big, bold strokes, she writes ABSTINENCE on the board.
The lesson here at the Florence Street Annex in Irvington, an urban district with predominantly African-American students, is AIDS.
Ms. Frederick presents the facts about the disease--how it is transmitted, myths about transmission, and methods of prevention.
The students express concern about the risks of eating next to an infected person or getting bitten by a mosquito.
While allaying those fears, Ms. Frederick tells them that it is unprotected sex and contaminated intravenous needles that pose the greatest threats.
"When you're in school, we tell you 'No sex.' What protects you when you get older?'' she asks.
While she waits for an answer, one boy whispers to a classmate.
"Are you listening to me?'' she asks him. "I could be talking about your life right now.''
After a brief discussion of condoms, she returns to a familiar refrain. "That is it, boys and girls. That is the only sure way to prevent you from getting the AIDS virus. Say no.''
Claire Scholz, the family-life supervisor in Irvington, said teachers there would not have to change their methods if the bill required only an emphasis on abstinence.
Minority Rule?
It is the provision about parents that concerns Ms. Scholz, even though parents participated fully in the curriculum development.
Irvington spent more than two years devising its curriculum. Meetings were held at every school, and parental requests that children be given more information than the district had originally planned were incorporated in the final course of study.
Moreover, parents are annually sent letters and a list of topics their children will be taught.
Despite these efforts, Ms. Scholz said she worries that the curriculum could be jeopardized by a few members of the community.
"Why only in this one area of the curriculum can parents be able to say they shouldn't or can't use it?'' she asked. "Can you imagine a parent coming in and saying we're no longer going to use a calculus book?''

For three or four days before the colonoscopy, start a low-fiber diet free of raw produce, dried fruits, seeds, nuts and whole grains. The day before the procedure, consume only clear liquids, as stated by Harvard Medical School.
The purpose behind dietary restrictions in the days leading up to a colonoscopy is to empty the colon. If solid foods are in the colon, it is possible for the technician to overlook lesions and polyps, which can develop into cancer if left untreated. The colonoscopy can also take longer than planned, which can cause complications. In some cases, the technician has to reschedule the procedure, which means that the patient has to go through the hassle of bowel preparation another time, notes Harvard Medical School.
During the day before and the day of the colonoscopy, it is important to stick to clear liquid foods. This includes clear juices, clear bouillon or broth, black coffee or tea, clear sports drinks, and sodas, as well as such foods as popsicles and Jell-O. For two hours before the actual colonoscopy, a complete fast is necessary. The doctor gives the patient a liquid preparation that causes diarrhea designed to clear out the bowel. Generally, the patient takes half the liquid the night before the colonoscopy and the rest about six hours before the procedure, as stated by Harvard Medical School.

So finally all the paperwork has finished. Phew, a sigh of relief and then it's time to take another breath and realise that just around the corner, two days after settlement in fact, the renovating started.
In the past, my first and second home, I quite enjoyed the odd round of renovating. Doing a kitchen, a dash of paint here and there, tiling and making a few changes, I never minded the often innovative work that is required to solve reno dilemmas. Two weeks ago, it was a different story.
The missus and I (well, me mainly) have decided that this house of ours in Toowoomba will be our home for a few years. No longer will I chase the dollar, but settle in, plant some seeds and relax for a while. This of course has meant.....serious renovating. I have been painting walls, looking at door frames for days on end and recently discovered the joys of using a 'chisel drill' to rip up tiles faster than you can say "put on some knee pads."
It's been fun, but two weeks of go-go-go is starting to weigh on me, so I'm having an afternoon off and hence here I am blogging. And just to set the record straight, I'm not talking about "The Block" bullcrap renovating with contractors and $13,000 bathrooms, I'm talking about getting the job done myself.
I've attached some photos of the joy I have had over the last few days in particular, along with a small injury and plenty of good old fashioned hard work. I have a fair bit to go yet, but the quick progress I've made has given me encouragement to push on through, with a two week deadline before the removal truck comes, looming.
During. Surprisingly a lot of blood for such a small cut.
Almost there.
3 hours later; from go to finish. Now the fun bit.
