April showers bring flowers – and mosquitoes!!! The one good thing about our prolonged dry spell is that we have had almost no mosquitoes for months…but that is about to change. Truly, mosquitoes are some of the most pestilential insects on this earth – not only is their bite unpleasant, but some species have the capacity to transmit diseases. People will do almost anything to get rid of them. And pest control companies prey on this urge, and will sell you just about anything.
The device the pest companies are pushing these days – the "mosquito misting system" – costs several thousand dollars to install, but it does actually kill mosquitoes. These systems use a series of nozzles, usually placed around the periphery of the homeowner's yard, which emit a fine mist at intervals (many have programmable timers). The mist, which contains water mixed with a pyrethroid insecticide, kills mosquitoes on contact. Pyrethroids are widely used, generalist insecticides touted as "safe" for humans and pets such as dogs and cats, because they are derived from plants (learn more about these "safe" chemicals by clicking here.)

Some pest control companies boast right up front that these misting systems also kill "spiders, ticks, fleas, wasps, gnats, and roaches" as well as mosquitoes. Of course, they don't mention that along with these "undesirables," the mist also destroys butterflies, honeybees, ladybugs, praying mantids (and some of us consider spiders to be beneficial), etc., and is toxic to fish and amphibians. In other words, although the chemicals used in these systems may be relatively safe for humans (but check out this link for some sobering information) I wouldn't want my child or dog or cat to be directly exposed to them. Yes, pyrethroids are derived from plants, but they are generalist poisons that are bad news for many creatures. And just because something comes from a plant doesn't mean it is safe – would you want to be sprayed with extracts of oleander, foxglove, or poison ivy???
We frequently receive calls from butterfly gardeners around town who worry when their neighbors install one of these systems that it will impact their gardening efforts. We don't have good news for them – yes, it will. Gardening for butterflies with one of these systems next door (since the mist can drift, and flying insects don't stay put) is like putting out bird food if you have an outdoor cat. You are luring butterflies and other beneficials to their death.
The companies installing these systems will assure you that since you can use the spray just at night, day-flying insects will not be affected. But think about it: first, many beneficial insects are active at night, and many larval insects (e.g., butterfly caterpillars) are not able to fly away from areas that are sprayed. Furthermore, plants or other objects near the spray nozzles build up a residue of the poison that is certainly not good for anything eating them or living in or on them.
|Mosquito Misting System
You may be surprised to learn that scientists working on mosquito control do not like these home misting systems any better than I do. A couple of years ago, while doing research on mosquitoes and careers in entomology for the new insect wing, I talked at length to Dr. Rudy Bueno, head of the Harris County Mosquito Control Division (part of Harris County Public Health and Environmental Services, www.hcphes.org ). I was impressed (and frankly surprised) by the conservative nature of their spraying programs. For Dr. Bueno's crew, spraying is a last resort, done in specific areas where their field workers have identified large populations of mosquitoes that may vector diseases such as West Nile virus (not all mosquitoes transmit disease), and where they cannot use other treatment methods such as getting rid of the standing water or treating with mosquito dunks. They only spray when an outbreak cannot be controlled with more benign methods, and – here's the rub – the sprays they use contain the same chemicals as the home mosquito misting systems. Dr. Bueno's concern is that through constant exposure to these chemicals that mosquitoes get through the home systems helps mosquitoes to evolve resistance to the chemicals – making the county's spraying efforts much less effective, and meaning that more potent and dangerous chemicals may have to be used to control outbreaks.

I asked Dr. Bueno what he would recommend to the homeowner concerned about mosquitoes. Their mantra in HCPHES is "reduce the source" – in other words, eliminate as much as possible any place around your home where mosquitoes might breed. Some mosquitoes can breed in less than a tablespoon of water, or even in wet leaves, and can complete their life cycle in less than a week. Most homeowners are fairly careless about leaving potential breeding spots on their property. Clogged gutters, plant saucers, bird baths, dog or cat water bowls, and many other containers that hold water are all potential breeding sites. So clean out those gutters and change the water regularly in bird baths and drinking bowls, and turn wheelbarrows or pots or buckets upside down so they don't hold water. Put mosquito fish (Gambusia affinis, a small native fish species that eats mosquito larvae) into any outdoor ponds. In areas of standing water that can't be drained you can use "mosquito dunks" – floating "donuts" that release a bacterium (Bacillus thuringensis israelensis,) that infects only mosquitoes. One of the main places mosquitoes breed in Houston is in clogged storm sewers, so be sure not to put leaves or other debris into these sewers. Of course, if you live next to a salt marsh or other area with shallow standing water, you may still be plagued by mosquitoes from time to time. But there is a lot we as homeowners and good citizens can do to reduce the number of mosquito breeding areas right in our own neighborhoods. Click here for more information on mosquito prevention.
In my opinion, these home misting systems should be outlawed! Yet to date they are almost completely unregulated, and people are so eager to rid their surroundings of mosquitoes that they don't think about the consequences of the widespread use of these poisons. Please do your research, and some thinking, before you spend any money on mosquito control. One thing you can do is check out information in the lower level of the Butterfly Center – a computer kiosk rates a variety of potential mosquito control methods. You'll learn that in addition to "reducing the source," using repellent with 33% DEET (more is overkill) and/or wearing long-sleeved shirts and pants when outdoors in mosquito-infested areas are the best ways to prevent bites. And in your backyard, a simple fan can keep mosquitoes away during outdoor activities, and in fact is as at least as effective, and much safer, than any of the candles or coils on the market.
I hope one day the Environmental Protection Agency will ban the use of home mosquito misting systems and other supposedly "benign" poisons that may make our lives more comfortable but that on closer examination have deleterious effects. It would be nice if pest control companies would voluntarily stop installing these systems, but as long as the public demands (and shells out money for) them, why should they? In the meantime, I'll be trying to educate as many people as I can – and I hope you will too. Butterflies, honeybees, ladybugs, frogs, fish, and many other wonderful creatures would join in the chorus, if only they could!

This election year will be a major turning point for the direction of this country.
There are those who want to take the country as far right as far right can go, even at the risk of going over the cliff, and then there's the rest of us.
The last three years of the Obama Presidency have brought out the best in some and the worst in others.
Ordinary people taking to the streets in protest of inequality on many different levels and politicians hell bent on imposing the very same big government they claim to despise.
All of this is going on with a very nasty undercurrent of some of the ugliest racism I've seen from this country in a long time.
People have stepped up and taken sides but where is the Hip Hop community?
I find it bitterly ironic that with the election of the nation's first Black President, rappers have been silent.
Painfully silent. Why is that? Could it be that the problems facing ordinary Americans, the very same problems that rappers used to give voice to, just don't fit into the "clock dollahs, make it rain at the strip club†mentality that seems to be the latest dumbed down flavor of the month?
It's also ironic that an art form that brought about political and social awareness along with a sense of pride has been reduced to so much mental mush.
Instead of challenging streams of thought, it grinds the average brain to apathetic pabulum.
I've been around since before Hip Hop went mainstream more than 30 years ago, and as a radio personality, and have seen it grow into a force of good and inspiration.
Groups like Public Enemy and Boogie Down Productions led me down the path to a knowledge of self.
Artists such as Paris, Kool Moe Dee and X-Clan made it cool to be Pro-Black without being Anti-White by including historical text in their album's liner notes.
Songs like "Fight The Power,†"Self-Destruction†and countless others not only had a vicious beat.
More importantly, they were lyrically potent.
Even groups like N.W.A. were important because, as offensive as some found them to be, they had an important message about a side of life that most whites never saw.
Where is that mindset when we need it the most?
The sad irony is that these days people listen to rap more for the beat than they do the actual rhyme.
There are segments of the Tea Party that literally want to rewrite history by removing all references to slavery from school text books.
There are those in Arizona that are moving to end any Ethnic Studies classes in a state with a large Latino population. Where is the Hip Hop movement and why are they not speaking out against these atrocities?
Hip Hop stepped up in a major way during the 2008 election and the numbers of younger voters went through the roof.
There were those that were apathetic that voted for the first time.
However, instead of keeping a sustained message about the importance of voting and becoming politically active, Hip Hop went back to business as usual: "Glitz, Guns & Girls.â€
It's no surprise that the same apathy that plagued us returned as evidenced by the shamefully low voter turnout in the 2012 midterms.
Just think what might have happened if more voters did as James Brown once said, "Get on up. Get into it. Get involved.â€
Why am I so critical of what's happening in Hip Hop?
What was once a powerful force for education and change has become a 21st century version of "Steppin' Fetchit.â€
In order for more young people to become involved, they must be reached in a way they can relate to instead of consuming a non-stop diet of mind – numbing "nincompoopness.â€
Today's artists must be made to account for their fundamental lack of respect of the art form and those that came before them.
They must be held accountable by parents taking a more active role in what their kids listen to.
We must follow the example of the Occupy protests by Occupying Hip Hop.
Speak volumes by withholding your support. You do that through your pocketbook. Choose music by those artists that speak on the important issues of the day instead of the gangsta fairytales weaved in a haze of alcohol and pot.
There are a lot of voices that want to make decisions that will have a great effect on the future.
The Hip Hop Generation is a big part of that future.
You can either use your voices and talents to speak intelligently about the issues or you can continue the current trend of buffoonery that has no redeeming social value.
On second thought, if the best we can get about politics is Wiz Kalifah's "votin' good†quote, I'd rather the Hip Hop community keep its collective mouth shut.

Don't miss Mark Steyn's column on Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: "But seriously folks, this clown is dangerous." Steyn notes Ahmadinejad's reflection of a certain strain of thought that is prevalent at the United Nations:
The Hudson Institute's lively "Eye On The U.N." Web site had an interesting photograph of how the "international community" marked Nov. 29 — the annual "International Day Of Solidarity With The Palestinian People." Kofi Annan and other bigwigs sat on a platform with a map flanked by the "Palestinian" and U.N. flags. The map showed Palestine but no Israel. The U.N., in other words, has done cartographically what Iran wants to do in more incendiary fashion: It's wiped Israel off the map.
We noted the photographic display assembled at Eye on the U.N. earlier this week; check it out here.
Steyn's column focuses on the relevant matters of current interest regarding Ahmadinejad. I continue to be struck by the apparent lack of interest by the mainstream media in Ahmadinejad's role in the 1979 seizure of the American hostages in Tehran. I interviewed Mark Bowden about Ahmadinejad's role in the hostage-taking and wrote about it in "Captivity pageant."

Three area men pleaded guilty Thursday and were sentenced in connection with a home invasion that occurred April off Piney Neck Road near Vanceboro.
Three area men pleaded guilty Thursday and were sentenced in connection with a home invasion that occurred last April off Piney Neck Road near Vanceboro.
The three men are: James Matthew Ireland, 29, of Vanceboro; Andrew James Potter, 27, of Bridgeton; and James Matthew Nigh, 25, of Grantsboro, according to the office of District Attorney Scott Thomas.
According to the indictments in the case and information presented in court, the incident happened this way: The victims, a husband and wife living on Piney Neck Road in Vanceboro, were at home just after 9 p.m. The man was seated watching television, and his wife was getting out of the shower.
Potter and Nigh, wearing bandanas across their faces and carrying a shotgun, burst through the front door of the home and demanded money and prescription drugs. The victims had neither, and Potter and Nigh held the two at gunpoint and made them lie face-down, first in their kitchen and then in their young son�s bedroom.
One of the assailants began taking items from the home � a computer, a television, cell phones and the child�s cancer medication. Ireland waited outside in the getaway vehicle. After stealing the items, the three left and sped away.
Craven County Sheriff�s deputies responded to the wife�s 911 call, and intercepted and stopped the vehicle. All three suspects fled on foot, but were eventually apprehended following an investigation that included obtaining information from the men�s girlfriends and roommates.
Craven County Sheriff�s investigators also found surveillance video and a credit card receipt showing where Nigh and Potter had purchased beer and bandanas of the same color used in the robbery and burglary.
All three were convicted of first degree burglary, armed robbery and two counts each of second degree kidnapping, along with conspiracy counts.
Ireland also was charged with failing to report an address change by a sex offender and breaking and entering in unrelated cases.
Potter also was charged with possession of a weapon by a prisoner for having a homemade shank in his cell at the Craven County Jail.
Nigh also was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm for having the shotgun used in the cases.
Ireland, who is a habitual felon, was sentenced to serve 18 to 23 years in prison. Potter and Nigh each were each sentenced to 14 to 18 years in prison. All three were ordered to pay the victims restitution of $6,163. All sentences will be served in the North Carolina Division of Adult Correction.
Thomas said during the sentencing hearing that, except for murder cases and those involving sex offenses, home invasion cases involve the greatest level of violation of other people�s privacy and safety.
�People should expect to be safe and secure in their own homes,� he said, in a news release. �These two homeowners were in their own home, alone, when these defendants busted in with a shotgun. This is a serious crime of violence, and long active prison sentences are justified. These cases resulted in guilty pleas due to the good work of Assistant District Attorney Hobbs, Investigator Wade and other deputies.�

Designed as a player's workhorse driver, the Volt is a fairway-style design with sneaky glide on distance lines, yet easy to range on fairway lines. For power players, the Volt will yield a high-speed turn and dependable fade, while most throwers will find the Volt either straight-neutral or slightly tweakable for straight lines with a rock-solid fade. The Volt is headwind resistant for all but the biggest arms or winds. Its resistance to turn relative to thrower style makes it a great all-around fairway driver for many types of players.

For Already Vulnerable Penguins, Study Finds Climate Change Is Another Danger - 1 views
Charles Crown on 03 Feb 14Life has never been easy for just-hatched Magellanic penguins, but climate change is making it worse, according to a decades-long study of the largest breeding colony of the birds. The chicks are already vulnerable to predation and starvation. Now, the study at Punta Tombo, Argentina, found that intense storms and warmer temperatures are increasingly taking a toll. "Rainfall is killing a lot of penguins, and so is heat," said P. Dee Boersma, a University of Washington scientist and lead author of the study. "And those are two new causes." Climate scientists say more extreme weather, including wetter storms and more prolonged periods of heat and cold, is one impact of a climate that is changing because of emissions of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. While monitoring the penguin colony, Dr. Boersma and her colleagues also documented regional temperature changes and increases in the number of days with heavy rains. The study, which is being published online Wednesday in the journal PLoS ONE, is one of the first to show a direct impact of climate change on seabirds. Most studies have looked at how warming temperatures affect animals indirectly, by altering predation patterns or food supplies. William J. Sydeman, senior scientist at the Farallon Institute in California, who was not involved in the research, said the study linked changes in climate, which occur on a scale of decades, to the daily scale of life in the colony. "That's a unique contribution," he said. The colony at Punta Tombo, in a temperate and relatively dry region about midway along Argentina's coast, is home to about 200,000 breeding pairs of the penguins, which are about 15 inches tall as adults. Dr. Boersma has been working there since 1982, with long-term support from the Wildlife Conservation Society. For this study, the researchers compiled data on nearly 3,500 chicks that they meticulously tracked by checking nests once or twice a day throughout the six-month breeding season, w

Palo Alto Online Sports
The final official team function for the Palo Alto High girls' volleyball team was to watch a replay of the 2011 CIF Division I state championship match on Wednesday.
Some of the players said they were a little apprehensive at watching themselves again. After all, they already knew the outcome -- a dramatic five-set victory over Marymount on Saturday at Concordia University in Irvine.
While emotions were played out on the floor during the final moments of the match and in the post-match celebration, those same emotions likely surfaced once again on Wednesday as all the highs and lows of Palo Alto historic second straight state title played out.
Sure, there would be smiles and laughter, but also some tears. For the Palo Alto seniors, their monumental two-year run not only put the program on the national map with top-10 national rankings, but brought an end to their prep careers.
Even head coach Dave Winn had a hard time believing what had happened days after the achievement.
"I'm still at a loss for words," he said. "Did it really happen? I'm afraid someone's going to call me and ask for the trophy back, due to some technicality."
No, the 2011 state championship trophy is safe and probably sitting right next to the one Paly captured in 2010 while finishing off a remarkable 41-1 season.
In two seasons, the Palo Alto girls reached the highest of highs while bringing the program a first-ever Central Coast Section title, first NorCal crown and first-ever state championship.
The Vikings finished their magical run with a 21-game win streak and a 77-4 record. No team in the 100-plus years of Palo Alto athletics ever produced such a remarkable two-year effort.
"This state championship was just as special as last year," said Winn, who won his 200th match at Paly with the state title secured. He is 200-36 in six seasons with the Vikings. Last month, Winn won the 300th match of his coaching career. "Last year's win will forever be our first and most memorable in program history.
"This year, we fought through the challenge of being the target of every team we faced, and came out on top in 36 of 39 matches. Again, we seemed to enter the state final as an underdog and started out with a resounding first-set win. But, we also encountered plenty of resistance and an insanely huge comeback win."
The state finale provided a roller coaster of emotions as NorCal No. 1-seeded Palo Alto defeated SoCal No. 2-seeded Marymount, 25-17, 25-23, 22-25, 20-25, 17-15.
Palo Alto senior Melanie Wade had 27 kills and 11 digs was named the Most Valuable Player of the championship match. She got her final kill to put the Vikings on top 16-15 in the final set, with the match decided when Marymount (Los Angeles) freshman Yaasmeen Bedart-Ghani hit wide to end the match. Palo Alto seniors Maddie Kuppe and Caroline Martin were named to the All-Championship Team.
"The 2011 Paly squad is a once-in-a-few-decades kind of team," Winn said. "They all truly know how to leave it all out on the court and give everything for their teammates. We had 16 on the roster (including eight seniors) and even though only eight or nine saw some regular court time, they all cheered for each other no matter what. They get what it means to put team goals ahead of personal agendas. And that's why we were able to achieve great things."
The state title elevated Palo Alto to a No.1 national spot in the MaxPreps Freeman computer rankings. In the final MaxPreps Xcellent 25 National Volleyball Rankings, the Vikings were No. 11. Paly also finished No. 9 nationally in the ESPNRise Powerade Fab 50 and was No. 10 in the country in the prepvolleyball.com poll, regarded as the nation's authoritative source on prep volleyball. Paly also was ranked No. 10 nationally last year by prepvolleyball.com.
To put the No. 1 ranking into perspective, the Xcellent 25 and Fab 50 rankings picked LaVista South of Papillion, Neb., as their No. 1 team in the nation.
Nevertheless, Palo Alto was regarded in all the polls as one of the nation's best. Prepvolleyball.com ranked Division II state champion Presentation No. 7 nationally, despite the fact Paly beat Prez in their lone meeting this season.
The Vikings looked like one of the nation's best on Saturday as they took control after winning the first two sets convincingly, but quickly looked in trouble when Marymount (33-5) rallied to deadlock the match and send it to a deciding fifth set.
The Sailors, who won the SoCal title up by upending top-seeded Los Alamitos, appeared on their way to victory by grabbing a 13-7 lead in the final set. Marymount, however, made two mistakes with a net violation and hitting long and it was 13-9.
Martin, who had a standout effort with 10 kills, scored off a block and then produced a stuff block and it was 13-11. Kuppe, who served back-to-back aces to win last year's state title, came up with a huge ace and Wade followed with a kill for a 13-13 match.
Wade got kill No. 25 for a 14-13 lead before Marymount tied it at 14. A service error gave Paly a 15-14 lead but a block tied the match at 15. That's when Wade got kill No. 26 and the Sailors' standout freshman Bedart-Ghani, inexplicably set three times over more veteran teammates during Paly's run, sailed a kill attempt way long and Palo Alto began a well-deserved celebration.
"All we needed was to put two kills away," Marymount coach Cari Klein said. "But we got tentative and missed some shots we normally make. This was probably the worst match we've played this season."
Despite going 41-1 last year and losing two senior starters, Winn believed this year's squad was even better. He had eight seniors and plenty of veteran experience, which surfaced in a big way Saturday when it counted most.
In addition to Wade, Kuppe produced 16 kills while fellow seniors Martin and Jackie Koenig contributed in key moments. Senior setter Kimmy Whitson had some problems with double contacts throughout the two sets the Vikings lost but was solid when it counted while producing 45 assists.
Junior libero Shelby Knowles also came up big in spots as the Vikings closed out the most successful two-year performance in school history.
Paly's other seniors who contributed to the team's success were Tiffany Tsung, Ashley Shin and Ally Kron.
The state title was the fifth in Paly school history. The boys' basketball program won crowns in 1993 and 2006 and the football team won its state title in 2010.
"The bus ride home was incredibly fun," said Winn, whose team was exhausted after the five-set match that started an hour late, dealing with post-match interviews and finally getting to a team meeting at 1 a.m. "I felt almost like I did when I was with my high school wrestling team, coming home from a big match victory.
"We were all celebrating the moment, singing at the top of our lungs and enjoying life. We always talk about taking 'mental snapshots' during big moments of the season, since these are the vivid memories we'll tuck away in our brains and recall the detail while the rest of the context falls away. Needless to say, we made a huge scrapbook of mental memories for the season!"

A new local juicing business is working to bring healthier options to your doorstep.
A new local juicing business is working to bring healthier options to your doorstep.
The Kickin� Carrot, an online, cold pressed juicing business born and based in Jacksonville, specializes in hand-crafting a variety of made-to-order, 100-percent raw and unpasteurized juices, wellness booster shots, milks and blended drinks.
Owner/operators Brittany and Tony Leanza say the juices created in their home kitchen are full of health benefits to help detox your body, lose weight and increase your overall health.
�These juices are amazing for your body,� said Brittany. �They�re a powerhouse of nutrients that not only help you feel better, but taste really good too.�
The Kickin� Carrot offers a variety of flavors of juices, milks, wellness shots and blended drinks, with creative names such as �Lucy in the Sky,� a juice made with lemon, apple, and ginger root, and �Green Goddess,� a blended drink loaded with spinach, celery, parsley, wheatgrass, banana, apple, young coconut water, lemon and ginger root.
�The amount of fruit and vegetables that are put into these juices is more than you could eat in a day,� said Brittany, who uses only fresh, raw, unprocessed fruits and vegetables, along with spices and supplements in her products.
�Until you actually drink the juice you don�t fully understand the benefits,� she said. �When you juice, your body takes in a powerhouse of minerals, vitamins, essential fatty acids, carbohydrates, proteins and anti-oxidants, just to name a few. Juicing is also easier on your body because you don�t have to utilize the energy needed to digest the fiber in eating raw fruits and vegetables.�
After becoming sick with a variety of illnesses, Brittanybegan researching natural methods to help her body heal itself.
�I was looking for natural remedies to heal myself with after being put on a bunch of prescription drugs that weren�t working,� said Brittany. After watching the film �Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead,� she decided to learn more about remedies used by filmmaker Joe Cross, specifically juicing.
�I began cleansing and drinking three green juices a day,� she said. �I began to feel better. I had more natural energy and I lost a lot of weight. I�m not claiming that the juices can heal diseases, but I will guarantee you will feel better.�
Brittany�s friends and family began to notice the positive effects that juicing and cleansing had on her health and became interested in her juices after seeing photos of the juices she created for herself on her Instagram. In August, The Kickin� Carrot was born.
While juicing is not a concept new to the health scene, Brittanyis excited to bring her varieties and flavors of juice to Jacksonvilleand the surrounding area.
�When we first started out we took a few samples to friends at Bomb�s Away Tattoo and the word got out. The business � exploded,� Brittanysaid.
As The Kickin� Carrot grows in popularity, Brittanyis trying to keep up with the orders they�ve received.
�People will place orders for seven to eight juices to drink over a three-day period,� she said. �A lot of people don�t understand how much work goes into making these juices.�
The overall cold-press juicing process is time consuming.
�Everything is scrubbed and prepped beforehand,� Brittanysaid as she chopped up four pounds of carrots, apples, lemon and ginger root, to make her �Super Cider,� a fruit juice with a kick. After the ingredients have been prepped, Brittanyuses a juicer to grate them down into a pulp. She then wraps the pulp in a thick cloth and places it onto her cold press, where she presses the cider into a 16-ounce bottle, the only size she currently offers of her products.
The Kickin� Carrots cold press process creates a limited shelf life for the juices, as the product is not pasteurized, allowing the vitamins, minerals and living enzymes that are lost through the heated process of pasteurizing to make it into the juice.
�When you heat up juice to pasteurize it, a process used to kill bacteria, you�re also killing a lot of the nutrients in the juice,� Brittanysaid. �By using the cold pressing process, you receive three to five times more nutrition in our juices compared to standard juices.
�You can store your chilled juice for three days in the refrigerator and up to several weeks in the freezer without losing any of the nutrition, flavor or color.�
While The Kickin� Carrot does not pasteurize its products, the kitchen where the juices are prepared is kept sanitized and clean.
�Everything we use is sanitized beforehand with bleach and all fresh produce is washed with a grapeseed oil solution, which removes pesticides and chemicals, thoroughly cleaning the vegetables,� said Brittany.
All of The Kickin� Carrots products are also sealed immediately in tamper proof bottles after being prepared, meeting the requirements of operating a home business in base housing onboard Tawara Terrace II, as well as county and state certifications.
Scheri Goff, a certified yoga teacher, project manager and founder of the Jacksonville Onslow Yoga (J.O.Y.) Network told The Daily News that she, her yoga students and her family can�t get enough of the juices.
�It�s amazing when you break it down and think about all the nutrients that you�re getting,� Scheri said. �You�re replenishing everything your body needs and rehydrating. You feel it on a cellular level. I can�t say enough good things about The Kickin� Carrot.�
After living in the Ukraine, where Scheri says they were big on fresh juices, she and her family became hooked on juicing and were looking for ways to get the same fresh juice into their diet without purchasing a juicer themselves.
�Brittany�s much more creative with her combinations than similar products you can buy in the store,� she said. �She�s also willing to modify her beverages to taste the way you want them.�
Scheri�s husband, Daniel favors �The Green Goddess,� while her children Grace, 9, and Josh, 6, are fans of the �Lucy in the Sky,� juice.
�The Gingerbombs are amazing,� said Scheri of her favorite Wellness Booster Shot. �It�s warm and delicious and took care of a sore throat I had almost instantly. If you�re feeling a bit under the weather, the ginger knocks out whatever funk is going on.�
Scheri also touted the convenience of having the products delivered to her home or workplace, a service that the Leanzas offer for local orders.
For purchases of $25 or more, the Kickin� Carrot will deliver the refrigerated juices in the Jacksonvillearea for no delivery fee. Purchases that are less than $25 or are located in surrounding areas such as Richlands or Swansboro have a $5 delivery fee added to their total.
The Leanza�s hope to open up a storefront in Jacksonville, to create a centralized location where customers could pick up their orders or stop in to enjoy a glass of juice for lunch or a snack.
�Lots of people are looking for ways to eat better and now they can. We offer a healthy product along with the convenience of delivery,� Brittanysaid. �Now you can live the healthier lifestyle that you have always wanted.�

I totally agree about side issues being of interest and encouraged on the forum. A big part of this site is entertainment after all as you say. I am talking about necessary kiting instruction course content not forum topics however. Instructors will focus on getting the student up and planing at times, the basic mechanics and not bother with a lot of the other content listed. They used to teach people to fly, drive and dive that way back in the day but for some reason they added a lot more content. Wonder why?
The snowboard model is very mechanical at the start of this thread. Why, because someone else is making most of the critical decisions, not the snowboarder. In our sport it is up to the kiter to make most of these choices, no one else outside of some concessions will do it for them. Conditions on pieste are heavily controlled, lifts are suspended with hazardous weather which may be closely monitored, runs may be closed with unsuitable conditions, rules are applied and enforced with minimal wiggle room, there is a resident rescue force/EMTs, etc.. In kiting, you're largely on your own. Often it is no big deal at other times people may have unnecessary hassles, down time, gear damage, be scared, harmed and/or access threatened sometimes out of avoidable ignorance from lack of complete instruction.

For many nations, qualifying for a World Cup is success in itself. Yet although that is especially true of teams that have never before competed at this exalted level, it comes with an inherent danger.
The risk, as understandable as it is inevitable, is that they settle, failing to raise their sights beyond merely taking part. Here at Thailand 2012, three FIFA Futsal World Cup debutants have refused to succumb to that temptation.
Though no-one would have criticised Colombia, Panama or Serbia for bowing out bravely, all three have battled their way through to the round of 16, and the Europeans advanced as group winners. For Serbia coach Aca Kovacevic, the basis for that achievement was arriving at the tournament not as wide-eyed newcomers, but as a team with belief and a clear purpose.
"Although being here was already a success for us, winning the group was not a total surprise," he told FIFA.com. "In fact, that was our goal all along. This might be our first time at this tournament, but Serbia have participated in every major futsal competition since 2006 except for the 2008 World Cup."
A similar mindset was evidently preached by the Colombia coach, although Areny Fonnegra admitted that even his pre-tournament expectations had been surpassed. As he explained: "Prior to the tournament, we felt we had a chance of going through to the second round. But we thought we would do it as one of the best third-placed teams, not by finishing second. So this achievement is very satisfying. It's nice to know that we're giving joy to our country by making a bit of history."
Now that we are through, we want to go as far as possible. Playing in the final would be nice!
Panama, drawn in a group with futsal powerhouses Spain and Iran, arrived in Thailand with a more modest outlook. Yet it seems that tasting success in the group phase has merely whetted their players' appetite for a great deal more.
"I would be lying if I tell you I am not a little bit surprised of how thing turned for us," admitted Miguel Lasso, the team's No9. "We believed in ourselves but this was our first World Cup, so we were not 100 per cent sure about what we would face. But now that we are through, we want to go as far as possible. Playing in the final would be nice!"
Now that really would be something, particularly when one considers that Panama have been rewarded for reaching the last 16 with a match against the holders. "They are one of the best teams in the world, and probably the best Brazilian team ever," acknowledged Lasso. "But they are men just like us. With God's help, we can win."
Serbia, meanwhile, will hope to benefit not from divine intervention, but from the absence in Argentina's side of two world-class players in Matias Lucuix and Cristian Burruto. "I was very sorry to see what happened to the No3," said Kovacevic, referring to Luicuix's double leg-break. "But even though two of their best player won't play, we expect Argentina to be as competitive as always. It will be an interesting match to watch."
Colombia's meeting with Iran promises to be a similarly intriguing affair, and Fonnegra is confident that he has spotted a key weakness in the west Asians' armoury. He said: "If you compare Iran to Russia, the Iranian players are a bit slower, so the idea will be to utilise the speed and technical ability of our players. The key elements to the game for us will be concentration, composure and lots of patience."
Whether Colombia and their fellow newcomers will make it through to the last eight remains to be seen. But there is one certainty: there will be no resting on laurels.

Create stunning royal icing lettering, dots, balls, beads, string work, lattice, lacework and much more with this Writing Tube number 10 piping nozzle.
This nozzle will give you great results every time.
This Icing tip fits the small coupler and is ideal for icing cupcakes, cakes and even decorating that special one off cake.
Simply attach a coupler to a disposable piping bag and snip the top of the bag using a scissors so that the coupler sits securely in the bag but the top is exposed. Attach your nozzle to the outside of the coupler and secure it on with the second part of the coupler. This will enable you to change your nozzle with ease. Fill the piping bag with royal icing or whatever medium you require and push it to the front of the nozzle, ensuring that there are no air bubbles left in the bag. Twist the open end of the piping bag until it creates pressure inside the bag and the icing begins to push its way through the nozzle. It then is ready to pipe! Squeeze to release into desired pattern.
Wash piping nozzles in hot soapy water and dry thoroughly after use.
Tip works with standard disposable,parchment, paper, fabric piping bags and couplers.
Made from seamless stainless steel.

Teheran, Braves stifle Twins
Atlanta, GA – Dan Uggla and the Braves staked Julio Teheran to an early lead, and the young right-hander did the rest in pitching Atlanta to a 5-1 victory over the struggling Minnesota Twins in the opener of a three- game interleague series at Turner Field.
The 22-year-old Teheran (3-1) allowed five hits and one walk while fanning four over 8 1/3 effortless innings. He had retired eight in a row before Josh Willingham spoiled his shutout bid with a one-out homer in the ninth.
Uggla belted a three-run homer, and Freddie Freeman drove in a run and scored another for the Braves, who have won four straight following a 1-5 stretch.
Kevin Correia (4-4) was chased after four innings, having surrendered five runs on eight hits in Minnesota's sixth straight loss.
The Twins were coming off a 2-7 homestand and opened their nine-game road trip on an equally sour note -- giving up four runs in the first inning.
Freeman hit the third of three straight singles to plate Jason Heyward, and Uggla stepped in two batters later and crushed Correia's hanging slider deep into the left-field bleachers for a 4-0 cushion.
"I made a real bad pitch to Uggla," Correia admitted. "I didn't have real good command of pretty much anything."
Juan Francisco scored Atlanta's only other run in the fourth when he led off with a double and eventually slid in safely in front of Aaron Hicks' strong throw from left-center field via Andrelton Simmons' sacrifice fly.
Despite throwing 109 pitches through eight innings, Teheran stayed on the hill looking to close out his first career shutout. He retired Justin Morneau before catching too much of the plate on a 2-2 pitch to Willingham, who lined it deep to left field for his first homer since Apr. 29.
With two on and two out, Cory Gearrin came in and retired pinch-hitter Oswaldo Arcia to pick up his first career save.
"I was excited to see him go out there for the ninth," Gearrin said. "It's just a sign of things to come."
Game Notes
This was the first time the Braves hosted the Twins in interleague play. The teams played in Minnesota in 2002, 2007 and 2010, though they met up in the 1991 World Series ... Atlanta improved to 13-5 at home ... Teheran threw 80 of his 123 pitches for strikes ... The Twins recalled pitcher Caleb Thielbar from Triple-A Rochester before the game, and the left-hander spun two scoreless innings of relief in his big-league debut ... Morneau had two of Minnesota's five hits and is batting .365 (27-for-74) in 18 games this month.

RSI and DiscomfortAugust 22, 2003
I can't sit still, and not because I'm excited or restless. I'm uncomfortable.
The human body wasn't built for the long hours the average white-collar worker puts in front of the screen daily. A lot of ink has been devoted to the subject of keeping yourself healthy while in front of the computer, so here are a few personal notes on the subject.
RSI, or Repetitive Strain Injury, is something you're most likely familiar with. Long periods of typing or even using the mouse cause sore tendons, and without proper care your hands and arms can become almost unusable.
The funny thing is that it comes and goes. I've seen reports that suggest it may not be permanent. My own experience has been that as long as I'm not over-doing it and pushing myself beyond a comfort limit, the pain will ease over time. Long stretches of intense work obviously further the problem, but a few moments of rest after a marathon-length e-mail and the odd break away from my desk throughout the day go a long way toward healthy joints.
But a recent problem that I'd never encountered prior is, for lack of a better term, numb ass syndrome. I just can't sit in one spot for long. I go back and forth between crossing my legs, placing my feet flat on the floor, hunching over, leaning back, and just about everything in between. No positions are comfortable. The only remedy is a good long walk.
It didn't used to be like this. I've recently changed some habits, and the unfortunate result is that I end up stuck in a chair for far longer, and with far fewer breaks. My saving grace used to be half-hour long excursions to get lunch around the noon hour. I've been taking fewer of those, and I'm paying for it.
Some quick Googling reveals the following tips for relief of numb ass. As well as these, I'll be making a point of getting out around noon of every day for at least a few minutes. We'll see how this goes.
- Avoid sitting for prolonged periods of time, as this causes postural strain.
- Take frequent breaks to stand up and stretch.
- Place both feet flat on the floor when sitting.
- Avoid crossing your legs - this habit can lead to an imbalance in the pelvis.
- Sit back on the chair. It is very important that you give your back the proper support.
- Adjust your chair so that your knee is slightly higher than your hip. If your chair is not adjustable you will need a footrest.
- Don't sit in a chair that is too large, too high or too low.
- Avoid leaning forward with your back arched. Work toward not being a slouch.
Reader Comments
While recently having my hair done in a slightly 'controversial way', I found I was leaning forward with my soldiers hunched for 3 and a half hours straight. After around an hour and a half I realised that I couldn't feel my arse! No amount of wriggling or squirming could bring it back to life!
A horrible feeling, I can totally sympathise!
Guys! Guys! Come on, numb ass, dead legs??? Allow me to have *no* sympathy for you After 8 years in a wheelchair, well, you get used to that kind of thing
That said, before landing in the chair, I would use a "kneel-sit" chair that made a world of difference. It was a wonder on the back. It *looks* weird, but it extremely comfortable, even for long periods.
I've not purchased from them, but they are one of the first link I found about it.
The alternative you might want to do is to get a cushion like the one I'm sitting on to avoid pressure sores. The one I have was nearly US$500, and it is by Roho. http://www.amerifamily.com/rohnexcus.html
That said, frequent breaks are likely the best way to avoid a lot of that stuff :-)
I have encountered similar problems myself. I sporadically suffer from 'Shea Numb Ass' (as it will now be called), various wrist and hand aches (which I believe are also associated with driving 140 miles per day) and, perhaps more seriously, a tendency to get just a little nauseous if I view the screen for too long.
The latter ailment is a recent thing. I used to be able to play Quake for hours on end without difficulty, but now I find myself getting a little queasy over nothing more than simple web use. Perhaps it is related to scrolling.
Heh, I knew you'd pipe up, Nic. You're obviously allowed to get away with calling the rest of us a bunch of babies.
I thought I'd get out for a nice walk today, but I ended up going for sushi and sitting the whole time. Oddly enough, the lowered wooden bench was far more comfortable than my plush office chair. I've lowered my chair some since coming back, maybe that will make a difference.
i guess i don't experience the butt pains 'cos i got a Black Man Booty :) but man is my mouse hand in constant pain (tendonitis). i've been wearing an arm brace for a few months now to ease it. like you mentioned; the best thing is taking a break.
as a young buck i never thought this would happen to me, but the years of djing and computering have caught up with me.
for hands, a physical therapist friend gave me a little advice–of course take breaks, but try to do a little hand exercise, where the motion is like, grab your wrist with your fingers (same hand), ball your fist, then "half-ball" it (tips of fingers curved, not your knuckles), then a full stretch. do this for a few minutes, slowly.
and get a natural keyboard! my laptop's kicking my butt, and it's always beautiful to come home to my natural keyboard. anyone know of ergonomic keyboards for laptops?!
I can offer you one quick solution Dave, and it's really simple: go see a Chiropractor. I'm one myself, and I treat many patients with the exact symptoms you are describing, and get great results. Beyond the simplicity of that, remember the following tip (for guys): do NOT sit on your wallet! This is one thing I see all the time, and it's terrible for your pelvis and lower back. If you are getting symptoms like you describe, you are definitely sitting much longer than you should at one time. Just stand up and stretch your lower back by putting your hands on those little round bumps in the lower back, and stretch by leaning backwards into your hands. That will help a lot. Honestly though, a trip or two to the chiropractor will be your best bet. Please e-mail me with any questions about chiropractic, and I'll be happy to answer them. Take Care.
"my mouse hand in constant pain (tendonitis). i�ve been wearing an arm brace for a few months now to ease it."
When I first started working fulltime (a bit over two years ago) the first couple of months my 'mouse hand' really ached from RSI. 7 hours of work + 4 or 5 hours of home use will do that. But it eventually disappeared which I find peculiar as I'm not doing anything different…can your body adapt to RSI?
My big problem, at the moment, is that I just can't stare at a monitor for hours-on-end, like I used to, before my eyes balls really start to ache. I've taken to doing a stretching exercise where I close my eyes and "look" to the far left and then to the far right a few times then up and down and this seems to help a bit. I read somewhere about the 20-20-20 rule: after every 20 minutes of staring at a screen you should focus on an object 20 feet away for 20 seconds so that your eye muscles don't atrophy or something…
Taking a break helps, but ever since I had a nasty bout with sciatica a few years ago, I've been swimming laps after work to get exercise and stretch out. Let me tell you, it goes a long way towards mitigating the ~9 hours a day I spend in front of a damn computer. I can't recommend it enough.
"do NOT sit on your wallet! This is one thing I see all the time, and it's terrible for your pelvis and lower back."
Hahaha…remember that episode of Seinfeld where George has that gigantic wallet that he keeps in his back pocket and it's completely screwing up his back. It's so big that when he's sitting down he's actually tilting to one side so he takes a handful of hard candies and puts them in the other back pocket to balance himself out. Then he sees a free guitar lesson coupon and puts it in and the wallet just can't take anymore abuse and explodes. That was a hilarious episode and, as it turns out, an important life lesson ;)
jon, current physical therapy "on the edge" recommend exercise over bracing for tendonitis/RSI/wrist issues.
Many people have their monitors way too low. The top of the screen should be at about eye level, sitting comfortably straight.
Dave, your mention of sushi made me hungry. I'm doomed for frozen pot pie nuked :-/
Infernal machines…
i've recently noticed that i'm suffering from NAS. It's especially noticeable when I get in my car to go home. I guess it's from moving from my regular desk chair to the car seat, the difference in seat styles makes the discomfort more noticeable. Who knows?
I try to stand up as much as possible, choosing to stay standing during informal meetings. Makes people nervous for some reason, but when I tell them I'm tired of sitting they relax. I also will kneel backwards in a chair, but only when I'm with my boss. She thinks it's a weird position to take, but we've been working together for so long that she's used to my little quirks. Anything really to stay off my butt. :D
Aint it funny that the tips for proper sitting are about the same they teached us in school, long time ago? But we tend to forget so easily….
-Avoid leaning forward with your back arched. Work toward not being a slouch.
Well, I'm working on it… ;)
"The only remedy is a good long walk."…
I bet you look like one of those guys from Monty Python's Flying Circus (with the silly walks) if you try to do this with a sleeping buttocks.
The comment about screen height is pertinent. This is likely to become more of a problem for many of us now laptops are overtaking desktops.
I think few people have given enough thought to such problems.
Moreover, as no human activity can be wholly "physical" or wholly "mental", excessive time at the screen is likely to put one in an overall lowered state.
I think all of Dave's advice is good. But there are no easy solutions. And simply trying "sitting up straight" often means introducing *different* postural tensions, whereas when everything is in balance one simply naturally sits upright without tension, as small children do:
Taking frequent breaks is probably the best advice.
Dave, why don't you try using an exercise ball instead of a chair? It will help with posture & core strength, and I would guess that the small movements you would get with the ball might alleviate some of your numb-bum issues.
Desk Stretches Howto
I've seen me coming of the PC after a marathon session looking a lot like 'Golum', but not as healthy.
I used to play online in a UT clan. There was a chap in an opposing team who was truely sublime, really, really good. He played for hours at a time to hone his skills. After seeing a photo of him on his clan webby, his tortured, palid frame encouraged me to take some exercise in the sunshine now and then.
Good post Dave, I think we could all do with stepping back from PC land now and then.
thanks for the words, Nic. I wear my brace when sleeping, or flying on the plane, never while on the computer–the type of brace i hand doesn't allow it.
laptops definitely are a pain, and as a consultant, when we're onsite, that's all we have to work with. for a while i had my laptop propped on an unused desktop computer chassis, but my coworkers didn't appreciate it (we share a few tables in a room).
i think i may invest in a docking station, although portability is really crummy.
In the pre-Web days my computer BBS was my consuming hobby. I spent hours every day fiddling and twiddling with it. Unthinkingly I kept my feet flat on the floor for hours at a time. A very painful small red spot developed on my foot. Going to visit a doctor I found myself quickly hustled into the hospital. In holding my legs still and applying so much pressure on my legs the blog in the legs stagnated, giving me a condition known as venous stasis.
That combined with severe RSI got me to never let myself spend too much time at the keyboard without getting up and walking around and stretching.
"Dave, why don�t you try using an exercise ball instead of a chair…."
My wife did this with our computer at home. I'm not sure if I like it or not, since at home I really don't feel like being on the computer a lot after being on one at work all day long. I'll say it makes you balance and you sure want to get up and take a break soon too.
I'm blessed with being a fidgeter with a short attention span, so I rarely spend more than half an hour at a stretch at my computer (apart from those rare occassions when I am in 'the zone' and realise that seven hours have elapsed…) and I have not had any RSI or sore back problems. So I advise getting up every thirty minutes to have a two minute break, wander around and bug your office colleagues, make tea, etc. Works for me! Oh, and don't work so hard…
A Couple Comments - I too have suffered from RSI in my wrists. What has worked for both me and my wife - start taking glucosamine and chondroitin, along withB12. Also, every night, take a 5lb hand weight and exercise your wrist muscles. In a sitting position on the couch or whatever, rest you wrist on your knee - palm up. Hold your wrist down on you knee slightly and do curls with your hand, flexing the muscles in your wrist. Do a set of 12 or so for each side of your wrist (top, bottom, left, right), always curling up in motion. This will strengthen the muscles in your forearm and make your wrists stronger, alleviating the numbness. If 5lb weights are too much, start with a 2lb and work your way up.
Ass numbness: do yourself a favor - go buy a Herman Miller Aeron chair [ http://www.sit4less.com/basic_aeron_chair.html ]. Non-ass-numbing comfort! I have one at work - wish I had one at home but can't due to those busted-ass cats I have. Yeah - they are kind of expensive but believe me, they are worth the investment.
Dave, I second Dr. Nate's comment about finding a good chiropractor. I developed an RSI about a year and a half ago that scared me so badly I thought I might have to change careers. But at the urging of a couple of good friends I caved in and visited a chiropractor, and she's made a world of difference. (I was actually both terrified and skeptical of chiropractic medicine before meeting my current chiroproactor, BTW.) I'm in Vancouver, too, and I see Dr. Beverley Steinhoff at Broadway at Yew Chiropractic – and I would recommend her very highly. Thanks to her I only get the occasional twinge now, and when I do I usually take it as a sign to go in for a check-up. :) Email me if you want more info…
If you need help remembering to take typing/rest breaks, go install WorkRave: http://www.workrave.com/ (Works on Linux and Windows, and a few other platforms.) It's a nice, Free program that enforces typing and rest breaks. I've been using it at work for a few months now, and I've noticed a dramatic drop in wrist pain. Now I just need to fix my desk setup so I can get rid of my sore back…
A couple years ago, I was finding the same. I was in the middle of a somewhat well paying contract and was sure I wished to continue on the computer, and so researched and invested in ways to put RSI behind me. Two things did it: A good chair and a good data entry device. The chair I use is a Herman Miller Aeron. It's fantastic for long hauls. Well supporting and cool. The data entry device (note I didn't say keyboard ;) is a set of Datahand Professional IIs. The Datahands are a non-traditional integrated split keyboard and mouse, where each finger has to move the minimum distance to reach the keys. The mouse is integrated, removing leaning and pressure associated with other mice (and trackballs). With the appropriate accessory, the Datahands can be mounted on the arms of the Aeron, providing a work environment where the upper body is continually neutral, even with ones feet up on the desk. The arms are straight, no hunching over keyboard, no leaning or moving towards the mouse. It's FANTASTIC. Best setup I've ever used. However, it doesn't come cheap, both in price and time spent backspacing. The Aeron is US$700 and the Datahands US$1000, and the datahands may take a month or two to get to %85 of flat keyboard efficiency. If you indend on keeping on doing what you're doing (very well, btw ;), you may want to give a similar setup a try. Email me if you have any questions.
Aeron's rock the house, and are worth the investment. I've never had problems (yet), but I think that's partly due to the fact that I have, for some strange reason, acquired different poses for different tasks. I sit differently when coding versus reading web pages versus reading email versus posting message.
For example, my "posting message pose" is sitting on the edge of my chair, legs tucked under me, heels not touching the ground, and wrists up in the air. My coding pose is leaning way back, toes in the air with legs straight out, elbow on the desk.
I have no idea how this started or if its even a good idea, but I figured its probably not a bad thing, and I have so far avoided NAS.

Each April public health and civil rights advocates work to raise awareness about the health inequities that continue to impact communities of color in the U.S. Among the health conditions that are usually highlighted are diabetes, HIV/AIDS, certain cancers, mental illness, and obesity. While it's certainly critical to address the high rates of these conditions in our communities, another persistent minority health issue is often overlooked.
Women of color (WOC) consistently face reproductive health injustices that are rarely discussed in the context of a minority health issue. This topic is usually relegated to the WOC realm of women's health. But this April, the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health (NLIRH) is shifting the dialogue about minority health and highlighting the lack of access to safe, legal, and affordable abortion as a very real health crisis for many of our herman@s.
In 1973, the Supreme Court passed the landmark Roe. v. Wade decision, granting women the right to safe and legal abortion. While this was a major victory for the women's rights movement, the fight for abortion rights did not stop then. In fact, over the years, the right to abortion has been consistently attacked, restricted, and limited at both the state and federal level.
Among the most harmful of the restrictions enacted was the implementation of the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits the use of federal funds for abortion services. Rep. Henry Hyde, author of the Hyde Amendment, said of his intentions for the rider: "I would certainly like to prevent, if I could legally, anybody having an abortion: a rich woman, a middle class woman, or a poor woman. Unfortunately, the only vehicle available is the [Medicaid] bill." This rider has been renewed each year for over three decades, and currently, federal funds can only be used in cases of rape, incest, and life endangerment.
The Hyde Amendment was crafted as a deliberate attack on low-income women's reproductive freedom. Considering that women of color are more likely to be low-income – 24 percent of Latin@s, 27 percent of black women, and 18 percent of Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders live below the poverty level – the Hyde Amendment is essentially an attack on women of color's reproductive rights, by denying them the ability to access affordable abortion. The denial of affordable healthcare that covers abortion is yet another issue on the long list of ways and means used to undermine the bodily autonomy and reproduction of WOC in the U.S.
As a result of the Hyde Amendment, abortion has remained out of reach for many low-income or uninsured women despite it being legalized in 1973. For many of our Latina herman@s, access to affordable abortion has never been an option because they are low-income, uninsured, or don't have private insurance that covers abortion. The reality is, one in three Latin@s is uninsured, which is higher than other race/ethnic group in the country. Of those that are insured, many rely on federally funded programs for coverage, which don't cover abortion. Without the ability to afford it, the right to abortion is meaningless.
In fact, the first woman who died as a direct result of the Hyde Amendment was a Latina. Rosie Jiménez was a Latina college student and single mother who had Medicaid coverage. Since the Hyde Amendment had recently eliminated federal Medicaid funding for abortion, Rosie resorted to unsafe abortion because she didn't have the means to pay for the service out of pocket. She died one week after her abortion in October 1977 due to complications from an unsafe procedure. Harrowing as it is, Rosie's story is not unique. Each year tens of thousands of people are denied access to affordable abortion because of the Hyde Amendment. Although not every person's story ends tragically, many people's lives are greatly impacted by the financial burden of paying for an abortion or having to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term.
For Latin@ immigrants, access to affordable abortion can be even more difficult due to many factors including, high rates of uninsurance, cultural and linguistic barriers, lack of information about abortion in the U.S., immigration status, and poverty.
It's undeniable: the Hyde Amendment hurts women. Moreover, the Hyde Amendment hurts WOC, who are disproportionately low-income, making this not only a women's health issue, but a minority health issue as well. This National Minority Health Month let's raise awareness of all health inequities, including the ability to access to safe and affordable abortion.

The Winder Police Department is seeking the public's help in locating a suspect in an armed robbery that took place over the weekend. Officers responded to the package store on McNeal Road around 1:47 p.m. on Jan. 19. A black male described as having a goatee style beard, large build, wearing all dark clothing, sunglasses and a stocking hat held a store employee at gunpoint and demanded money. The male left the store walking in the direction of a shopping center parking lot across the street from the package store, and was able to get away with approximately $350-$400 in cash. Anyone with information regarding the identity of this individual or other information regarding this incident is asked to contact Detective Wayne Samples of the Winder Police Department at 770-867-2156.

Inside a Star Hedge Fund: Lots of Big Bets, Built Fast
SAC Capital Advisors LP bet big on a firm called Ardea Biosciences Inc. at the beginning of last year.
Diving into a small stock it never before reported owning, the hedge-fund firm bought 1.2 million shares, which at the end of the first quarter were valued at $26.7 million.
Three weeks later, a stake of that size was worth $12.1 million...

More from the Orange Notebook - Christmas 1952
Pop - O Shoes $3.50
Outing Flannel, 22 yd. $11.00
S. shirting, 3-1/2 yrd. $2.00
pop's bitt (?) .40
Also on the list: Deseret Book - Bibles
Woolworth's - pins
Music book
Was the outing flannel to make pj's? The pajamas I remember so clearly were the zebra pajamas - they were outstanding, but I don't remember the year. The sewing room was in the bedroom where Louise, Judy, and I slept. Mother would disappear into the room, close the door firmly, and we were barred from entering. When she emerged, there would be no evidence of anything - Mother could be very mysterious at times.
And, this must have been a few notes from a trip to take Louise to Provo in 1951: $14.78, my cash on hand; Louise paid at Lander for gas @9 cents - $3.50.
Another page in Louise's handwriting - Provo '51,
Gas (Lander) $3.50
Gas (Evanston) $3.80
Room $3.00
Breakfast (35 cents ea.) $3.00
milk (Mom pd.) .37
gas (Provo) $2.45
Total $13.82
milk .18
dinner 1.10
There were also several addresses and names - Louise was looking for a place to stay. (One comment was that a place was "not exciting". Her address ended up being at Mrs. Wight's.
I remember when we went to pick up Louise the day after Dwight and Velna's wedding, that the weather in Provo seemed warm, and she seemed so grown up. Guess it was bound to happen?

What an amazing record. For some reason, my often flawed memory says the old treadle sewing machine sat at the end of Mother and Dad's bed, because that is where I sat when I learned to hem dishtowels. Mom would hide the flannel for Christmas PJ's somewhere, perhaps in her chest because we were all forbidden to get in it, but I remember searching for scraps of evidence in their bedroom and never found any.
In later years, when Judy and I were the only ones at home, the sewing machine - treadle and then replaced with an electric Singer when Judy needed to sew her wedding dress - was in our bedroom.

No, Ann - couldn't be in Mother and Dad's bedroom - that room was so tiny. The bed was in the alcove, and the chest along the north wall. When we learned to sew, the machine was in our bedroom. Maybe moved later?

Treadle sewing machine in Dad and Mom's bedroom during years I was there in the white house.
- January 7, 2010 at 10:22 PM
- Judy said...
I first sewed on the treadle in Mom & Dad's bedroom with the cedar chest at my back. That was when I was in the 6th grade which equals 1951-52. Does that help or confuse?
- January 8, 2010 at 12:01 AM
- Dwight said...
And I wondered off at school if I could possibly ever get a five dollar or ten dollar bill from home, or even a Christmas present. Makes you cry.

- Ann said...
Another memory of the sewing machine placement. I was often assigned to make Mother and Dad's bed, or smooth out the tulip quilt and then pull up the bedspread. Could it be Mother was trying to keep me busy? The treadle machine was mean when stubbing one's toe on it. The space between the sewing machine and the chest was very small, so stubbing shoeless toes was common place. Am I making this up? Not!
- January 8, 2010 at 9:15 AM
- Louise Blood said...
The consesus seems to be that the treadle sewing machine was in Mom's and Dad's bedroom. And in my memory I concur. So now we need to hear from Steve. It was at the head of Judy's bed when I was home sewing on my wedding dress in the fall of "53.
- January 8, 2010 at 11:20 AM
- Louise Blood said...
Now I have to comment on the expense record. Can you imagine starting out on a major trip with only that much cash on hand, and spending only that much, just think-a motel room for only
$3.00. Where did you get this list from? Is there any other little tid-bits I might be interested in? You mentioned names and addresses.
- January 8, 2010 at 11:56 AM
- Elizabeth said...
Louise, thanks for vindicating me about the sewing machine. I know that I sewed my clothes in our bedroom - but it could have been in Mother's room, off and on (after all, it could be moved.) And, I did tell you about where the figures came from - you didn't go back far enough????? Mystery

I missed Friday night's high school football games, and it looks like I missed out on two impressive performances by both Collins and Shelby County.
Collins' 36-20 victory at North Oldham all but clinches the district title for the Titans. They should have no problem taking care of Waggener (1-6) next Friday night and Atherton (1-6) the week after (NOTE: The Wildcats' lone victory was a 34-22 win over the Rebels on Sept. 21).
If the Titans do win the regular-season district title it will assure them of hosting first- and second-round Class 4A playoff games. Looking ahead a little bit that also means that Collins would host the loser of Oct. 19's game between North Oldham and Spencer County in the second round of the playoffs (because I'm pretty sure that the No. 3 seed from this district will be able to beat the No. 2 seed from Louisville's 4A District).
Then there was Shelby County's 49-0 shutout of North Bullitt, last year's district champ and this year's preseason pick. Impressive score to say the least, the Rockets must have been clicking tonight.
It looks like Zach Shipley had another great game, passing for 169 yards and two touchdowns and running for 119 yards and two more scores.
The Rockets' victory now sets up a huge, huge game next week - the de facto district championship - against Bullitt Central. The Cougars improved to 2-0 in the district Friday night with a 28-21 win over Bullitt East. Bullitt Central is led by Trevor Carnell - the top rusher in 5A. I'm already looking forward to that game.
