Colloidal Silver Helps Keep You and Your Family Healthy
The uses for colloidal silver are virtually endless. The best way to think about this is to ask yourself a question: "where do I want to get rid of harmful bacteria, viruses and fungus"?
Do You Know Anyone Who Gets Eye, Ear, Sinus or Throat Infections?
It seems like most people are susceptible to eye, ear and sinus infections. Your first line of defense would be to visit your doctor first. Many of these infections are recurring and terribly annoying. Too often, when we go to the doctor's office, we are given antibiotics which seem to help but actually kill 'good bacteria' located in the large bowel. These 'good bacteria', when in balance, actually make up 70% our our immune system. So, when we have an infection, it appears to be the very best time to have a solid and healthy immune system.
Ear Infection
Ear infections can be very serious; be sure to get medical help if needed. Colloidal Silver users have told use that they place one drop in each ear and allow it to remain there for about a minute. Then they catch the excess (be sure to have a tissue to catch the excess as it will stain) with a tissue and within an hour or less there ear infection is gone.
Throat Infection
A soar throat can be terribly annoying, especially if there is a severe cough associated with it. Most soar throats occur due to a bacterial infection that could be Strep throat. You should go and see your doctor.
Many colloidal silver users have told us that they will place 2 of 3 drops of colloidal silver in a glass along with a very small amount of non-tap water. Now, this may sound funny, but we are told that they gargle for a full minute; a seemingly very long time. Was it worth it? Yes! They told us that their sore throat was gone in less than an hour.
Sinus Infection
Sinus infections are the worst. They relentlessly cause pain, congestion and sometime headaches. Sinus infections can be serious, so please see your doctor.
Many colloidal silver users have told us how they got rid of their sinus infections, even after antibiotics failed to do so. Here is what they told us:
- Lay on your back on a bed with your head tilted back over the side as far as it will go.
- Place 5 drops in each nostril.
- Stay there for 15 minutes while the colloidal silver drains all the way to the back of the sinus.
- Get up and blow your nose

Gerald Bole
Gerald Bole, In A Nutshell by Fredrik Nilsen, October 1994
Gerald Bole was born in a gold dredging camp in Northern California in 1911. He grew up in Berkeley where he learned to compose music, with silent film music shaping the visual qualities that were to characterize his life's work. A descendent of outlaw Black Bart and a product of Victorian values imposed upon a luftul, sensual imagination, Gerald was a fountainhead of creativity, an ascetic with a promiscuous mind.
Upon receiving his degree from UC Berkeley in Sanskrit, Gerald went to work as a bureaucrat for the US Department of Agriculture for whom he worked until his retirement. During his professional life he always lived alone, usally in YMCA's or small tenement apartments. He would compose music or work on one of his many manuscripts relating to occult research, to which he was unswervingly devoted despite the fact that he was ejected from the Theosophical society for calling their president, Edna Mae Snodgrass, an old windbag at a society dinner in her honor. Gerald composed for dance companies during the forties and early fifties, but the bulk of his work was hidden from the world, kept unpublished and, in fact, unheard in the stacks of notebooks he accumulated through the years. A true outsider, Gerald lived in a world of invisible friends with whom he could have heated conversations in public without embarrassment. He also had a rich supply of friends in the flesh with whom he shared his impossible view of the universe and his usually very practical approach to survival in an insane world.
Gerald entered our world when he retired at age 65 and moved in with his family who lived in the liberal catholic church in Oakland, California. He called it an insane asylum. It was. David Loehr introduced Gerald to Tom Recchion, who broough him down for a visit in 1975. This began a relationship which was to change the way a number of us, especially Tom and myself, Rick Potts and Kevin Laffey, would related to art, life and even death. Gerald was a messenger from a previous age. He as the font of inspiration to whom we looked with awe. When he moved into the house permanently, we often looked upon him in horror as well, but even then there was always awe. He composed some of the greatest romantic piano music in our home, some of which we recorded. He was well past his prime as a pianist and the piano was out of tune. However, his renderings of the pieces were sublime despite the limitations. The work was geographical in its inspiration, each piece aurally describing a place he had been or he had imagined. Gerald also involved himself in our creative lives as a critic and as a fan. He provided narrations from a Victorial perspective for our music. Plus his Mae West impressions were a sight to behold.
Gerald became ill and moved to the Santa Cruz mountains where he could be cared for by his familiy. I took most of his manuscripts up for him to leave but asked if we could hold on to some of his music to copy, which he consented. I visited him several times during those years. At times he was celebrated and cheerful, but most times he was confused and paranoid, unable to care for himself. He kept wishing he could die. In this last year of his life, his niece burned all of his manuscripts, the lifework of a genius, in her fireplace because she hated him. Shortly thereafter she died of cancer.
Fortunately a body of his music was spared by my proscrastination, since I never returned it to him, and it sits today in a stack in Tom's closet. Gerald died in Santa Cruz in 1993 at age 81.
Update by Fredrik Nilsen, October 2012
"All surviving musical and scholarly manuscripts of our old friend, outsider artist, composer and occult researcher Gerald Bole, have been sorted and and archivally boxed by my assistant Colin Bloomfield. After his retirement from the Department of Agriculture Gerald was introduced to Tom Recchion by David Loehr. Around 1980 he moved into the back room of our house and lived the next several with Tom, Kevin Laffey, Rick Potts and I. He was a great friend and a great inspiration to many of us in the LAFMS.
"In his eighties and in failing health Gerald moved up to live with his brother Byron in Ben Lomond, California. He took much of his archive with him only to have his schizophrenic niece burn them in the fireplace in a fit of paranoia. Much gratitude must go to Tom Recchion who, with Gerald's permission, had the foresight to retain a portion of his work in Pasadena, keeping it safe for almost 30 years. All that remains of Gerald's music and scholarly writing is this collection which Tom saved.
"Also thanks to Kevin Laffey for approaching David Loehr with the idea of organizing and managing the archive. We are now preparing to ship the archive to David, who will further organize and archive the documents. David Loehr is a professional archivist, best known for his archiving the life of James Dean and for establishing and operating the James Dean Memorial Gallery in Fairmont Indiana."

The Albany Convention Center Authority will meet at 8:30 a.m. Friday at the Harold L. Joyce Albany County Office Building, 112 State St.
The agenda is online at the authority's Web site, but it's essentially this: Sit, wait. Wait, sit. They will pass a resolution honoring George Leveille for his tenure as chairman, said executive director Duncan Stewart.
The authority, of course, is waiting for Gov. David Paterson to decide whether to support funding an additional $190 million for the center. The $400 million project would include a 400-room Sheraton hotel as well as the meeting and exhibition center.

Oracle security standard, instead of Week of Oracle Bugs
Initially proclaimed from the rooftops, then vanished in the night: regardless of what was announced last week, the Week of Oracle Database Bugs (WoODB) has now been called off. Its initiators have provided no detailed explanation. They have only said: there were too many problems for the event to go forward. One reason may well have been the criticisms levied by other security specialists: that no one was being served by the event; and that given Oracle's policy of releasing patches only once every three months, any holes publicised by the event would likely remain open until April 2007.
Oracle's new Identity Governance Framework (IGF) security standard is unlikely to have been the catalyst for the withdrawal. The framework does little to improve the quality of the software as a means of preventing intrusions and data theft. It instead aims at making the transmission of personal data, like credit card numbers between different systems, easier to track. Oracle claims that IGF will allow organisations like banks to inspect where names, addresses, account numbers and the information tied to them, actually end up and how. This makes it easier to fulfil compliance requirements like Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Gramm-Leach-Bliley or the European Data Protection Initiative.
Oracle created the framework on its own, but secured support from other companies like CA, Layer 7 Technologies, Novell, Ping Identity, Securent and Sun Microsystems. However, SAP, IBM and Microsoft are not members of that group. IBM already works with a similar solution, via the Tivoli Privacy Manager. Microsoft never agreed to the Liberty Alliance and OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards) that are the basis of the IGF and hence intends, for the foreseeable future, to continue pursuing its own identity management course with CardSpace (formerly InfoCard).

Working out has never been pretty. From the cumbersome equipment to the sweat, working out is one of those things that has to be done, preferably in the privacy of your own home gym. But with a Technogym, you may not have to hide your workout equipment away, instead you can proudly display it like the elegantly European design it is.
Since 1983, Technogym has been designing wellness and exercise equipment for high-end condos and international resorts, but they have recently entered into a partnership withMilanese architect Antonio Citterio to create elegant home gym equipment.
Choose from streamlined pieces like thepersonal cross-trainerandminimalist treadmillor go all out with theKinesis Personal.The Kinesis Personal comes in Black, Cream and Gold models and luxurious extras like leather and Lucite. Design insiders are said to be fans including Domenico Dolce (of Dolce & Gabbana) and France's First Lady of style, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy. The Kinesis is not just easy on the yes, it is also designed to restore full movement to the human body, increasingendurance, balance, strength and flexibility. The clever pulley design can be closed to resemble something like a modern piece of art or even a large mirror, rather than a cumbersome exercise machine. Even better, Technogym will work with you to determine both your design and workout style so that you get the equipment that is right for your lifestyle.
With prices averaging around $12,000, these machines clearly aren't designed for the fitness faint of heart.

Georgia Congressman Hank Johnson was scrutinized for using a crass choice of words that sounded like he was comparing Jews to termites while trying to shed light on a serious moral issue.
During an event sponsored by the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, Johnson said:
"There has been a steady [stream], almost like termites can get into a residence and eat before you know that you've been eaten up and you fall in on yourself, there has been settlement activity that has marched forward with impunity and at an ever increasing rate to the point where it has become alarming."
The Democratic lawmaker was speaking out against Israel's policies toward Palestinians. In addition to his "termites" remark, he reportedly compared Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman to GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump — which others in attendance agreed with.
The Anti-Defamation League did not receive Johnson's remarks well, they demanded an immediate apology.
"This is an offensive and unhelpful characterization. Demonization, dehumanization of settlers doesn't advance peace," they wrote in a tweet directed at Johnson.
"we [sic.] call on you to apologize and retract this offensive, unhelpful characterization," they continued in a separate tweet.
Johnson responded, admitting that he used a poor choice of words and clarifying his point surrounding settlement policy.
@ADL_National Poor choice of words – apologies for offense. Point is settlement activity continues slowly undermine 2-state solution.— Rep. Hank Johnson (@RepHankJohnson) July 25, 2016
His office later issued a more detailed statement to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution in which they further elaborated on what he meant.
"The article (Free Beacon) headline is wrong. Congressman Johnson did not call Israelis termites but did say the settlement policies threaten peace and the two-state solution. Congressman Johnson did not intend to insult or speak derogatorily of the Israelis or the Jewish people. When using the metaphor of termites, the Congressman was referring to the corrosive process, not the people."
The point that Johnson was actually trying to make in the first place is that, "The corrosive settlement policies undermine the ability of all citizens in the region to enjoy healthy, peaceful lives in safe communities. We must work to promote policies that support a two-state solution and encourage trust between both sides."
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Johnson has made a name for himself as one of the most liberal members of Georgia's congressional delegation and has received support from Jewish voters in the past.
This incident was clearly blown out of proportion by conservative news site, The Washington Free Beacon —which originally broke the story.
They likely had an agenda to slam the liberal politician because he represents opposing views. But, this just goes to show how important it is to choose one's words wisely, especially as they relate to race, religion, and culture.

Spring, Snookie and Sports
Tuesday marks the first day of spring, and thus, "Happy First Day of Spring" is the top trend on Twitter. There's nothing complicated or newsworthy associated with it, just that there are thousands if not millions of people tweeting "Happy First Day of Spring."
That being said, two main topics are dominating the search engines on this first day of spring - sports and the premiere of Dancing with the Stars. The number one Google search combines both, with Donald Driver taking the top spot. The Green Bay Packers wide receiver received mixed reviews over his first dance with partner Petra Murgatroyed. Their Cha Cha earned a standing ovation and prompted some bloggers to call Driver an early favorite, but the judges disagreed. The duo scored 21 points, prompting boos from the crowd.
Peyton Manning, the Denver Broncos and Tim Tebow are also high on the lists, as people wonder what happens to the controversial quarterback now that Manning is taking the reins in the Mile-High city. Contract negotiations between the team and the former MVP reportedly went on late into the night in the hopes that a press conference could be held Tuesday. John Elway will reportedly try and trade Tebow for anything he can get. Alex Smith and David Garrard are trending in relation to this deal, as the 49ers active pursuit of Manning could hurt their chances of re-signing Smith, who last year led the Niners to the NFC championship game. The Miami Dolphins signed Garrard after they too came up short in the Manning sweepstakes.
Jeremy Lin is the top search on Yahoo, as news comes out that the Knicks sensation has signed a huge deal with Volvo to endorse their cars, particularly in Asia. The Chinese-owned company said in statement Tuesday that Lin will participate in Volvo's worldwide corporate and marketing activities as a brand ambassador.
A YouTube video in which a young boy in a wheelchair gets an extensive airport search by the TSA is nearing 1 million views. The family of five was headed to Disney World, with grandparents in tow, when the agent held them up so he could check the chair and swab the 3-year-old boy's hands for explosives. The incident happened back in 2010, but the outraged father just posted the video earlier this week.
The MTV hit show Jersey Shore will be back for a sixth season, and expectant mom Snooki will be part of the action. MTV said Monday that production will begin this summer in Seaside Heights, and all of America's favorite housemates will return. MTV declined to offer specifics on how big a part Snooki will play in the show.
Another top trending video is a collaboration between the Guggenheim Museum and Improv Everywhere, in which a New York City subway car is transformed into a sleeper car. Confused straphangers have the option to take a nap on their trip between Astoria Boulevard and Manhattan. Some riders take the conductor up on his offer, complete with sleep mask.
Finally, Donny's got some moves. The 5-year-old tears up the dance floor and steals the show at Yosef and Hillary's wedding.
That's the Trend!

Inflow Management Best Practice
The best practice of Inflow Management provides a systematic way of processing any new paperwork, e-mails, calls, memos, notes, ideas, action items, or any other information that you receive.
The goal of inflow management is to help you effectively process your inputs and incorporate any new work into your time management system without forgetting about it.
One way to think of your inflow management system is like a set of filters that help you decide the best way to handle each item as it moves through the system.
Collecting Inputs
An important part of the Inflow Management best practice is to realize that you don't have to handle an item the moment you receive it.
In fact, when you are fully focused working on one of your "big rock" project blocks, it is better to postpone handling any non‑emergency inputs until after you are done.
For this to work, you need a systematic way of collecting all your new inputs without fear of losing or forgetting about them. Otherwise, you won't be able to return your full focus to your project and your attention will remain on the item you just received.
A good collection system has to be able to handle all the different kinds of inputs you typically receive: e-mail, calls, drop‑in visitors, paperwork, your own ideas and insights, meeting action items, etc.
My own input collection system consists of four components: e-mail, voice mail, "in" basket, and scratch pad. These four components allow me to capture all my inputs so that I know I will not lose or forget about them.
Depending on your own situation you may want to add to or modify this system to fit your needs.
E-mail and voice mail messages are usually collected automatically for you: incoming e-mail is placed in the "Inbox" folder of e-mail client applications, and your voice mail or answering service automatically collects all your messages in one place.
If you use Microsoft Outlook®, the Achieve Planner time management software can help you keep track of action-oriented email messages as part of your to-do list.
Processing Inputs
The second aspect of the Inflow Management best practice is to process the inputs you've collected. Here are some ideas for processing items effectively.
- Process Inputs in Batches
- Choose Designated Times for Processing New Inputs
- Process Items to Completion
- Check All Your Collection Areas
The Time Management eBook contains much more information on processing inflows, including a simple system to help you decide how to deal with each item as you process it. Get it now!

Bahrain Feature: A Very British System of Repression (Curtis)
British Prime Minister David Cameron welcomes Bahrain's King Hamad in London, 12 December 2011
Adam Curtis writes on his "The Medium and the Message" on the BBC website:
Bahrain, along with Syria, has become a symbol of the failure of the Arab Spring to deliver real democracy and freedom across the Arab world. The media in Britain portray a rigid, oppressive almost feudal elite who are stubbornly holding out against the inevitable wave of modern freedoms and political justice.
But what is hardly ever mentioned in the press and TV reports is that this very system of oppression, the rock against which the dreams of democracy are being dashed, was largely created by the British. That, throughout most of the twentieth century, British advisers to the Bahraini royal family, backed up by British military might, were central figures in the creation of a ruthless system that imprisoned and sometimes tortured any Bahraini citizen who even dared to suggest the idea of democracy.
The same British advisers also worked with the rulers of Bahrain to exercise a cynical technique of divide and rule --- setting Shia against Sunni in a very successful attempt to keep Bahrain locked in an old, decaying and corrupt system of tribal and religious rivalries. The deliberate aim was to stop democracy ever emerging.
The Bahrainis know this, practically everyone else in the Arab world knows this --- the only people who seem to have forgotten are the British themselves.
So I thought I would tell the story of Britain's involvement in the government and the security of Bahrain over the past 90 years. Especially as the present King of Bahrain is coming to have lunch with the Queen on May 18th.
It began in the summer of 1925 when a young administrative officer in the British Colonial Service called Charles Belgrave read an advertisement in the middle of the "Personal Column" in The Times. It said:
Belgrave answered the mysterious advertisement and was then summoned to an interview in a West End hotel. His interviewer turned out to be one of the heads of the India Office - the government department which ran that part of the British Empire.
What Belgrave was offered was the job of being the British "adviser" to the new ruler of Bahrain, Sheikh Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa. The precise nature of the job was a bit murky (a murkiness that was going to run through this whole story). On the surface Belgrave would be completely independent of the British government - but what was also clear was that he was being sent there to deal with growing demands for reform and modernization that might threaten Britain's interests.
Ever since 1820 the British had dominated Bahrain. The Al Khalifa family ruled, but in reality it was protectorate whose affairs were "guided" by the British. In 1923 the previous ruler had gone berserk and started terrorising his people - so the British had removed him and installed his son. It was clear to Belgrave what his job was - to create a more centralised form of control in Bahrain and to manage the instability created by the previous ruler's reign of terror.
Belgrave took the job. And here is a picture of him sitting happily in "the Adviserate drawing room"
Belgrave soon became very powerful - and by the 1930s he was in effect running the government of Bahrain. The thing that gave him a supreme ability to manage any dissent was the fact that he ran the courts. Bahrain had no legal code - which allowed Belgrave as judge enormous power. Belgrave described it in his autobiography:
"I found that there was no written code in Bahrain so judgements had to depend on common sense alone. It was rough and ready justice, but it had the advantage of being speedy.
I sat three days a week with a minor Shaikh who was deaf, dull and averse to making decisions. When I asked his opinion he invariably replied, 'I think the same as you Excellency; I agree with whatever you say."
Many Bahrainis soon became convinced that Belgrave was using his power to make sure that the status quo was maintained and to prevent a modern, democratic political system developing. And in the 1950s this anger with Belgrave burst out in a dramatic and violent way - a popular revolt and demands for democracy uncannily like the events unfolding in Bahrain today.
It started in 1953 when a Shia religious parade was stoned and then a Shia neighbourhood attacked by groups of Sunni fanatics. Many believed that it was a deliberate provocation - to create sectarian divisions. People noticed that among the attackers were members of the ruling family including the brother of the Sheikh.

Day: Jan 27-30 + Barras Market
Gonna do a quick summary on these days. On thursday it was a regular school day but when it was over, at the clock hit 12, a big bunch of us went over to the VIC (which is the school bar that turns into a nightclub at night!). And coincidentally, Glasgow School of Art students get free admission! This club night happens every Thursday and ive actually made an effort ever since I came to Glasgow to go to this event but for some reason it just didn't work out on all the other Thursday so this time, I made sure I went!
It was tons of fun! I had only been on the first floor where they have two pool tables during the day. At night they removed them and the place became a dance floor. On the second floor there was an even bigger dance floor. And on the third floor… "drumroll"… coat check! I went up exploring and stood in this lineup for like 3 minutes just to realize that it was for checking in your coats lol. The club was open from 11 to 3, I stayed until like 2:45 just to beat the leaving rush xD
Came back to the apartment to meet Sam, Hannah and Will. Had some liverpate, cheese and bread. Classy lol.
The next day I used to recover… was quite pooped from the long day + drinking that went on.
On saturday, Nirmal, Martin and me had decided to go to the Barras market! What it is a pretty big flea market. When we came there, I must say that I expected it to be more… flea market'ish… o.O Many of the things they sold were not used or services like picture framing. Only a few "real" flea market stores. After looking through a big chunk of the stores, I came across this table in this back alley where I found something super interesting. Letterpress letters! I jumped on it and now I have a mini set of letterpress letters for 5 pounds :D Wont be using them ever but they are quite nifty as a standalone artifact from Glasgow! We all ended up buying something. Nirmal got some sponges for their kitchen (lol) while Martin got a Yahtzee game + an ashtray.
After spending a few hours at this market, we went around to look for a place to eat. While looking for a place we saw this statue (that looks sooo much like the pyro from TF2!) lol. As three guys, we had a hard time decide on a place to eat and in the end we went into this cafe called Costa where we got two hot chocolates and a cappuccino. In this cafe, I busted out my 300mm lens and started practicing taking photos of people/stuff in a stalker'ish way. I must say it was quite intriguing.

Question Description
Please give me the detailed fee structure for MS in Pharmacy from US universities. Give me detail about fee and living cost.
The fee for MS in Pharmacy isn't fixed. It varies depending on the university you select. Same applies to living cost too. Living cost depends on city or place you select to stay while studying. However, I'll try to give you some average costs for Masters Degree from US universities.
The fee for MS in Pharmacy ranges from US $15,000 to US $25,000. The fee I've mentioned is annual fee. In some cases, the actual fee may not lie within the range I've mentioned because some universities are found charge higher or lower than the range I've provided. Fee is comparatively high for well-reputed universities.
Similarly, living cost for international students vary from $500 to $1200 in United States. Cost of living highly depends of life standard of a student. Price-cut on food and entertainment can save lot of costs. Place students choose to also affect in living cost. Living cost at cities like New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and similar other cities are comparatively higher than other parts of US.

JERUSALEM (May. 22)
The Israeli Chief Rabbinate has promulgated a series of regulations designed to permit the cultivation of land by Orthodox Jews in the coming sabbatical year, yet retain symbolic observance of the Biblical requirement of shmitah that the land be allowed to "rest" each seventh year.
In issuing the regulations, Chief Rabbis Isaac Nissim and Isaac Herzog noted that to allow 300, 000 dunams (75,000 acres) of land to lie fallow would endanger the nation's food supply. Tracing their actions back to rabbinical authorities of the past, the rabbis suggested that the land be nominally sold to non-Jews for a stipulated period and that all ploughing be done with an awning overhead–to create the fiction that the work is not being done in the field but in a "private dwelling."
Leaders of the Poale Agudah movement, which has 15 affiliated agricultural settlements, announced that the movement would obey the Biblical injunction and deplored the Poale Mizrachi "evasion" of shmitah through fictitious sale of the land and continued cultivation. The Poale Agudah lands which will be withdrawn from cultivation total more than 50,000 dunams.
The Poale Agudah, they announced, will launch a worldwide fundraising campaign to replace the crops lost through fallowing of the land. In addition, hydroponic cultivation, which has been under experimentation at the settlements, will be expanded. Settlers who are not needed to work about the settlements will be asked to work in towns and contribute their earnings to the special fund to replace the value of the lost crops.


text:
Update, 2:56 p.m.: The response has been quick – and decisive. Less than 10 minutes after the poll was posted, with 200 votes cast, 60 percent of respondents have come out strongly against a settlement.
Details came in this morning about supposed settlement talks between the City of Seattle and Sonics chairman Clay Bennett.
And now the Seattle Times is reporting that the two did, in fact, settle – and that we'll hear more details at a 5 p.m. press conference.
We've been covering this whole Sonics fight for a while. And if there's one outcome most of our commenters hated, it was a settlement.
"A settlement would be insane," wrote Mr. Pac-10 on reporter Greg Johns' latest report. "This is the worst time to wimp out!!!"
"I hope this report is not true," wrote reader Kyle Johnson. "Any council members or city officials involved or pursuing any settlement talks before decisions in both court cases are reached should resign."
We're posting an online poll, so let us know: Would you support a settlement? Vote here.

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 2 – Intermediate)
Topic: Winter (the season) (08/13/09)
TITLE: Bing, I'm Dreaming, Too!
By Kathy Bruins
As I finish watering, I move on to wash the car. I go to switch the hose to another faucet, and there it is…sliming across the water on the ground…the snake. I try to hold in my scream feeling like I am about to burst, but no need to scare the neighbors and get the dogs barking. I repeat to myself: The snake is harmless, he helps the garden, he will not hurt me, he is harmless. Lucky for him I don't have a spade in my hand.
After washing the car, I put all the soap and cloths away, roll up the hose and put it by the faucet…no snake around. Upon my return to the car, I notice a new marking on my car not there before. It is a gift from a passing bird, probably the big robin in the tree above who almost looked like he was gloating in his target practice.
I wipe my brow from the high humidity experienced today. Breathing in the heavy air, and wishing for a light breeze to dry the damp clothes clinging to my body with sweat. Where is there relief?
Aaaah! In about four months, the first flakes of winter will cover the irritants of summer. The bugs will be gone, along with the snakes. I won't be sweating, but rejoicing in the beauty of the still whiteness that makes everything seem clean. No sweating, just cozying with a hot steaming cup of cocoa while wrapped in my quilt. The lights that twinkle during this time add to the celebration of winter. I crave the cool beauty of the season. I am not ashamed…I love winter!

Bangoura's back at Stoke!
Sammy Bangoura has returned to the Britannia Stadium today after his extended holiday.
No doubt Tony Scholes and Tony Pulis were there to welcome him back.
Scholes has already stated that Bangoura faces a big fine for being over a month late and it is unlikely that Pulis will allow him to play for several weeks until he has proved his fitness.
Indeed, whether he does stay at the club in the medium to long term remains to be seen.

I Love Love Apples :)They are awesome everywhere. Raw, fried, complementing another dish whatever. They taste superb and look superb.
I'm sad they're getting too costly though.
FreeFallWall 26-30, M 7 Responses 1 Aug 9, 2010
Tomatoes? Ahh, that does make more sense, considering the group. Elegance vine tomatoes are delicious. Also, tinned plumn tomatoes cooked and sprinkles with white pepper for breakfast...tasty.
I'm rather fond of a Braeburn every so often. But Pink Ladies...they're in their own league of delicious crunchiness :P
oh, me too! i've always loved apples. i can't survive one day without an apple. it's been always my favourite food. and pumpkin seeds.
Me too,but not the supermarket ones

Renesas: Synergy Platform Ecosystem adds Amazon Web Service IoT connectivity
Renesas Electronics Europe announced the availability of the Amazon Web Service (AWS) IoT Device SDK for Renesas Synergy Platform, which will be made available on the Synergy Partner Showcase of the Synergy Gallery site. The SDK enables system developers to quickly access the power and capabilities of AWS, allowing them to easily add new devices to their existing IoT infrastructure, or create a new design tailored to their specific requirements.
The SDK includes a binary executable to demonstrate functionality, full AWS IoT Device and project source code, plus detailed tutorials for creating and configuring the IoT device, building messages and requests, and creating an IoT Device Shadow. Using the Synergy Software Package as a foundation, the kit was developed for Renesas by RELOC. The SDK utilises AWS cloud-specific protocols coming from Rensas' strategic partner Express Logic X-Ware IoT product suite. The AWS IoT Device SDK is designed to run on the Synergy Starter Kit SK-S7G2, which is readily available directly from Renesas and from all our franchised distributors globally.
The X-Ware IoT Platform provides Synergy Platform developers with a premier, industrial grade, and top-to-bottom cloud connectivity solution. The foundation of the X-Ware IoT Platform is NetX Duo - the industry's first safety certified TCP/IP solution (SIL 4 and ASIL-D). In addition to being industrial grade, the X-Ware IoT Platform boasts an extremely small footprint. This small size has the potential to "cloud enable" the tiniest of sensor devices, while still supporting full edge router functionality.

An Irish ritual born on the Fourth of July
IF YOU were looking for a taste of America in Ireland yesterday to mark the Fourth of July then Deerfield, the US ambassador's residence in the Phoenix Park, was the place to be.
There, in the bleachers overlooking the ambassador's American Football pitch, 3,000 visitors ate burgers and hot dogs washed down with Budweiser and Pepsi and followed by cupcakes iced in red, white and blue.
The same colours (or colors, depending on what side of the pond you're from) were replicated in the bunting decorating the ambassador's house, in the balloons bobbing in the breeze and of course in the miniature US flags dotting the grounds.
On the pitch the third annual Irish American Flag Football classic kicked off after the ball was parachuted in by Caroline Cassidy, a member of the Irish Parachute Club, shortly after midday.
In a baseball cap and sneakers the US ambassador to Ireland, Dan Rooney, surveyed the scene with satisfaction as overhead an aircraft towed a US flag across a cloudy but dry Dublin sky.
"It's a great day, everyone's having a good time, the weather's good," the ambassador and owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers American football team said.
The Dublin 8s, a team coached by the ambassador's son, also named Dan, went on to claim victory over the Phoenix Park Pirates, winning 44 points to 37, meaning they have taken victory twice in the three years the event has taken place.
Mr Rooney took the opportunity to reflect on the relationship between Ireland and the US, which he said was "stronger than ever". He quoted US president Barack Obama who, during his visit to Ireland last year, spoke of two nations who "never stopped imagining a brighter future".
Among those in attendance was Bob McAllistair, a US-born but Belfast-raised World War II veteran who was conscripted at the age of 18, having moved back to Ireland at the age of four.
"I was in Ireland until Uncle Sam caught up with me," he said, sporting four medals on his breast and on his lapel a heart containing both the Irish and American flags.
Wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with a picture of the Obama family, nine-year-old Julia Quinn celebrated the day with her family, parents Andrew and Sarah and brother Charlie, who picnicked as they watched the match.
"I like America, she said enthusiastically. Asked why, her answer was simple: "Because their TV's really good."
Asked how the event compared with Fourth of July celebrations in the US, Daniel Tabb, originally from Springfield, Massachusetts but now working with children in Ballymun with Sports Across Ireland, conceded the event was "over the top".
However, judging by the broad smile on his face, you got the distinct impression this was exactly how the Fourth of July was supposed to be celebrated.

Explanations for the results of the recent U.S. Presidential Elections abound: improper messaging on the part of the Romney ticket, a lack of inclusiveness on the part of the Republican Party, simple tribalism as a result of changing demographics, a belief in Santa Claus, or a combination thereof. A French philosopher once observed that "Nations get the Governments they deserve" and the history of the Western World since the end of the Second World War has been for Nations to elect Governments that allow people to enjoy lifestyles they are unwilling to fully work for. There have been, of course, exceptions, particularly in the U.S. which might have slowed the trends, but broadly speaking, these are mere bumps on the road which neither changed nor altered the greater trends towards increasing the size of the welfare state, and by extension, their corresponding Governments. The recent election represents the popular approval of the growth of entitlements, or as some have more colorfully labeled it: "Santa Claus".
Often, when one party expresses an opinion in favor of the benefits of acquiring gold, the opposing side will express disapproval with the glib retort: "You can't eat gold." Intended to convey a practical perspective, this flippant response betrays a breathtaking level of historic economic ignorance, and I would argue, a poor ability to quantify future risk vis-à-vis the coming financial collapse and ensuing struggles.
The problem is simple to identify: a politician's primary purpose in life is not to represent his constituents or pass laws or social engineer (though he does these things to various degrees), but rather, it is to get re-elected and augment his power. Barring the occasional exception which does not disprove the rule, this is a universal truth even in our formerly Constitutional-revering Republic. When viewed through this lens, the long and gradual process perverting the American system of Government and property rights becomes clear.
The unseen glue which holds the credit system and the Western World together is trust. We take it for granted and do not consider how it affects every aspect of our lives. What has traditionally separated the West (particularly the English-speaking World) from the Third World is the strength of contract law and the general faith that there will be enforcement of penalties meted out through judicial process to those who break their bond. This trust has been eroding more recently at a rate which is becoming more apparent even to the non-observer.
There is a primal and inevitable force at play in the World Economy that is much larger than any politician or government can deal with effectively. I have often commented that regardless of who won the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election, this Primal Force would work itself out to its final conclusion and change the World's economy and monetary system as we know it. The only difference is that the guy who won is taking us there much sooner than I thought possible. It is a concept so simple and easy that only an economist cannot understand it: debt.


text: I never really realized this, but Fathers Day is longer than Mother's Day. I don't see the irony in this phrase, but at least all the dads get a little bit more daylight to do nothing. The difference between Father's Day and Mother's Day is that moms generally spend time with moms hiking or doing stuff, while dads count on hall passes from the honey do's to clock serious time on the couch, maybe take a nap while the game is on.

Gabriel Sterne and Alessandro Theiss: China's debt time bomb – the fall out
"If there was a financial crisis in China, the government could take a big hit, transferring a huge chunk of bad debts onto its balance sheet. But this remedy would have a big impact on the domestic and global economy."
"Overall debt (public, private and financial) has skyrocketed in recent years, rising from 176 per cent of GDP in 2007, to 258 per cent of GDP by mid-2014. The debt binge may be fuelling a time bomb in the property market..."

Saint Rose soccer ready
Women to open NCAAs Friday against Wilmington
Published 11:17 pm, Monday, November 5, 2012
ALBANY — When the announcement came Monday night, none of the women who play soccer for the College of Saint Rose said a word.
No one jumped out of her seat at the Carl E. Touhey Forum inside the Lally School of Education building on Madison Avenue. When their school name popped up on the big screen during the NCAA Division II selection show via NCAA.com, there were no high-fives, no hootin' and no hollerin'.
No nothing.
Maybe that's because the Golden Knights are old pros at this sort of thing. For the 10th time in the past 11 years, Saint Rose is going to the NCAAs. More impressively, the Golden Knights have advanced to the Final Four the last four years, and they won the whole thing a season ago.
"We just want to go to it," said junior forward Carmelina Puopolo, the leading scorer in the country in Division II with 48 points (17 goals, 14 assists). "We don't overlook anyone we play, whether it's a weak opponent or a strong opponent. We just want to go out and go play."
Saint Rose (16-2-2) is the third seed in the East and will play sixth-seeded Wilmington, Del., (13-6-2), winner of the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference. The Golden Knights are ranked 17th in the latest NSCAA/Continental Tire NCAA Division II poll. Wilmington is not ranked.
The game will be played Friday afternoon at 1 at MassMutual Soccer Field on the campus of American International in Springfield, Mass. AIC (13-3-2), which, like Saint Rose, plays in the Northeast-10 Conference, is the second seed in the East region, and will play the winner of Friday's game Sunday afternoon at 1.
For Saint Rose, the ultimate goal is a trip to Evans, Ga. (outside of Atlanta) for the Final Four on Nov. 29 and Dec. 1. The Golden Knights would have to win five straight games to get to their fifth straight championship.
"For us, this is OK, this is what we've got," said Saint Rose coach Laurie Darling Gutheil, who is in her 17th season. "This is what our first match is, and this is where we're going. We were like, 'OK, give us our path, and then we have to take care of the responsibility of moving on and doing the work to get there.'"
After winning the national title a year ago, the Golden Knights haven't really missed a beat despite losing seven seniors and six starters. Well, there was a hiccup last week when Saint Rose got beat by Southern New Hampshire 1-0 in the Northeast-10 semifinals.
That probably cost the Golden Knights a first or second seed.
More Information

What: NCAA Division II Soccer Tournament, East Regional
When: Friday, 1 p.m.
Where: MassMutual Soccer Field, Springfield, Mass.
Radio: None
On Monday, though, no one was talking about that. It's all about getting back to where they have been every year for the past four.
"We just want to keep the tradition going," said senior midfielder Molly Harpster.
Before losing in the conference tournament, Saint Rose had won eight straight. To keep the Final Four streak alive, it now has to get on another roll.
Last season, Puopolo was the Division II Player of the Year and could be on track to get that award again. Her 17 goals rank her sixth in the nation.
Puopolo admits she would like to get that honor again, but it's more important to get a trip to Georgia.
"We are not cocky people," she said. "All we want to do is win. When we went to the tournament last year, there was no doubt in our minds we would win. I want to be a national champion again. Whatever we have to do, then that is what we are going to try and do."

Blogging NTI: Notes from Sessions
Laughter, tears, sharing, listening, and song, in addition to a wealth of information, all were experienced in the rich array of sessions open to NTI attendees on Friday.
The Baby Policy Blog could not be everywhere at once, so enlisted the aid of many correspondents to report back on what they learned—and what moved them—in these gatherings. We promised you the NTI experience, so here are highlights our reporters brought back about a variety of sessions. Common themes: meaty presentations, packed rooms, participants begging for extended sessions–and genuine human connections.
Healing a Painful Past
Some in the audience were moved to tears, some were moved to sing. The room was definitely ALIVE! And there is no doubt that all participants in this symposium, Healing a Painful Past, were moved in some way. Marva Lewis and Eduardo Duran painted a powerful portrait of the legacy of historical trauma inherited by various cultural groups worldwide, and its effects today (including ongoing racial disparities across numerous public health issues). Lewis and Duran provided special emphasis on African American slave descendants and Native American tribal descendants. The focus was on identifying the needs of children born into families where historical trauma is part of their "story". Most importantly, the presenters poignantly revealed the healing that is possible and the critical need to honor the memories, the traditions, the values, etc., that are unique to the origins of the particular cultural group. Participants were challenged to consider that behavioral interventions and evidence-based practices may not be successful in and of themselves, in the absence of strategies that address the "Soul Wound", as described by Duran, allowing families to transcend the trauma and heal the "injury to the spirit".
The conversations that emerged in the packed room of Healing a Painful Past prompts the need for practitioners and policymakers to ensure that evidence-based practices are culturally sensitive - uniquely designed and tailored to address the spiritual wound, such that we do not inadvertently, as Duran metaphorically mentioned, "try to get a toothache remedy from a transmission specialist", because if the intervention does not make sense within the context of the culture of the recipient(s), the community will struggle for yet another generation.
Fathers for Change
A full house of participants were thoroughly engaged in listening to Dr. Carla Stover of Yale University School of Medicine present a new model for intervening with fathers when there have been incidents of domestic violence. This approach includes three components: individual, co-parenting and father-child modeling. After reviewing the sparse research on domestic violence interventions with fathers and the room for improving positive outcomes for children, Dr. Stover noted that court and child welfare systems are still reluctant to change the traditional approaches.
An initial complete assessment process of the men referred for the "Fathers for Change" program is essential; the two hour interview includes a review of the man's past experiences, psychological symptoms, addiction, conflict coping, knowledge of child development, and police and social service records. A session of the father playing with the child is videotaped and used later for the father's reflection. Dr. Carla provided real-life examples of men who are suitable for the program and those who were not accepted. She stresses there is no formula number of sessions for the three component stages as each father and family has different histories and emotional resources for healing. The father's ability to self-regulate emotions and to build functional attachments with his co-parent are key factors in long term improvements.
The audience expressed much disappointment that the session was so short–wishing it had been two or two and a half hours–and many remained afterwards to discuss case situations and implementation of the program into their own community system.
Personal Encounters: An Innovative Home Visitation Model for High-Risk Families
It seems counterintuitive that a universal, strengths-based approach could be better at reaching high-risk families than a more targeted approach. Yet, that is exactly what the research on the Baby TALK home visitation model has found. Presenters Aimee Hilado and Claudia Quigg described the Baby TALK model, which started in Illinois 25 years ago and is now operating in 36 sates and Canada. Baby TALK builds a trustworthy system in which families are identified and appropriate services are delivered through both personal and group experiences and collaborative referrals. Twelve words describe their approach: Build a system; screen every family; identify the need; deliver appropriate servicees.
Trained staff are strategically placed at community locations where families are—hospitals, WIC offices, and health clinics. Through a "soft" approach—having quality interpersonal experiences with families—staff determine their needs and provide extensive support through personal encounters in homes or community locations. An important aspect of the work is developing strong connections between agencies and setting collaborative goals, which ensure a wide variety of services are available to benefit families. With today's increased emphasis on accountability, it is heartening that a positive, supportive approach to all families with young children can result in engaging the most at-risk families and supporting them to become better parents.
Improving Parental Health Literacy Through Home Visiting
Dr. Susan Smith, developer of the Better Beginnings educational guides, and Linda Walleson, developer of the Life Skill Progression assessment tool, have worked together to highlight the importance of health literacy for child health outcomes. Using a worksheet that participants completed during the session, the leaders presented the theory behind their work with health literacy. Three-sides of the triangle included Thinking, Linking and Responding. While much of their work on health literacy focuses on the skill of reading, they stated that this is not sufficient for health literacy. Empowering parents–especially mothers—to think about the situation, to gather information (link), and then to develop solutions are the critical features of their approach. Attendees discussed together their experiences of working to increase health literacy, especially how this has affected childhood immunization rates, dental care, and maternal health care.
The presenters see home visiting programs as ideal mechanisms for increasing parental health literacy. Everyone's ears perked up when Susan mentioned that there are avenues of funding in health care reform! Some managed care organizations are also aware of the possible cost savings that might result with improved literacy.

From Pressure Vessels : ASME Code Simplified, Eighth Edition
Simplified Calculations for Reinforcement of Openings (Fig. 2.12)
To determine whether an opening is adequately reinforced, it is first necessary to determine whether the areas of reinforcement available will be sufficient without the use of a pad. Figure 2.12 includes a schematic diagram of an opening showing the involved areas and also all the required calculations. The total cross-sectional area of reinforcement required (in square inches) is indicated by the letter A, which is equal to the diameter (plus corrosion allowance) times the required thickness. The area of reinforcement available without a pad includes
Figure 2.12: Calculation sheet for reinforcement of openings.
The area of excess thickness in the shell or head, A 1
The area of excess thickness in the nozzle wall, A 2
The area available in the nozzle projecting inward, A 3
The cross-sectional area of welds, A 4
If the reinforcement is found to be inadequate, then the area of pad needed ( A 5) may be calculated as follows:
If a pad is used, the factor (2.5 t n) in the equation for A 2 in Fig. 2.12 is measured from the top surface of the pad and therefore becomes (2.5 t n+ T p). The area A 2 must be recalculated on this basis and the smaller value again used. Then:

Los Angeles - Carey Mulligan "couldn't stop crying" after filming an attempted suicide scene for new movie Shame.
The British actress plays the troubled younger sister of a sex addict portrayed by Michael Fassbender in the film and although she originally wasn't affected by the controversial scene, in which her character tries to slash her wrists, she admitted she was "devastated" at how hopeless her character felt.
She told MakingOf.com: "I was sitting there and this fake blood was pumping out of my arms and I was in this completely hopeless state with a kitchen knife next to me. And it was horrible, it was really horrible and I wasn't expecting it, it was a complete surprise, and I felt awful.
Nude scene
"It sounds so pretentious, but it just made me feel horrible. I felt devastated and I felt so sad. And I'm fine. I'm great and well adjusted and everything's cool, but just the idea of being that helpless and that lonely, it was just really sad. I got into the taxi at the end of the day and I couldn't stop crying."
Carey also explained she was initially against doing a fully frontal nude scene but came to understand it was necessary for the role.
She said: "I've never, never been naked in a film before; I've been topless once or twice, but always in sort of very innocent ways. And I've always been sort of staunchly feminist about it, I've never relished the idea of doing it, and never if it was inappropriate or gratuitous in any way.
"But I just felt it was absolutely right; that's exactly who she was. She wanted to be seen, she's an exhibitionist and she's provocative."

Red Velvet Cake Balls
For Mother's Day this year, I decided to make a gift from the kitchen. I had seen this recipe at mykitchencafe.blogspot.com (she actually got the recipe from Bakerella) and decided to give those a try. Personally these cake balls were average in taste to me, but my oldest son loved it and wants them for his birthday.
I think one trick for these is to put them in the freezer before you dip them. For Father's Day, I am going to make oreo truffles. I'll post that recipe on here after Father's Day.
Red Velvet Cake Balls
- 1 box red velvet cake mix (cook as directed on box for 13 X 9 cake)
- 1 can cream cheese frosting (16 oz.)
- 1 package chocolate bark (regular or white chocolate)
- wax paper
- After cake is cooked and cooled completely, crumble into large bowl.
- Mix thoroughly with 1 can cream cheese frosting. (It may be easier to use fingers to mix together, but be warned it will get messy.)
- Roll mixture into quarter size balls and lay on cookie sheet.
- Chill for several hours - make sure they are really firm. (You can speed this up by putting in the freezer.)
- Melt chocolate in microwave per directions on package.
- Roll balls in chocolate and lay on wax paper until firm. (Use a spoon to dip and roll in chocolate and then tap off extra - two forks also works great if your chocolate is warm enough.)
- Drizzle with extra chocolate bark (I used melted pink chocolate)
3 comments on "Red Velvet Cake Balls"
I just attempted these for Christmas tins and I agree they were average tasting, my children and husband thought so as well. I think I will try the oreo balls next.
Oooh, I love the pink chocolate drizzles. I agree on the taste – I actually didn't love how they tasted but they make a stunning presentation (and my husband and kids loved how they tasted so to each his own, I guess). I just made the oreo truffles last night again – and oh, talk about great taste! I could eat that entire batch! I can't wait to see how yours turn out.

What would a polar bear say if he could talk? How does a small Indigenous Community fight a large multi-national corporation that is intending to exploit its natural resources? "Calling All Polar Bears" is a one-woman show by Inupiaq Eskimo Inter-Disciplinary Artist, Allison Warden, whose roots are from Kaktovik, Alaska, which is a village in the heart of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Through the show, Allison takes on the characters of animals, and of people in her village, as they bring to light the complexity surrounding climate change in the Arctic and the push to extract resources from the Arctic regions. Indigenous communities all over the globe are facing similar challenges and "Calling All Polar Bears" hopes to engage audiences through an Inupiaq perspective and inspire audiences to think critically about these pressing issues and also hopefully take action to help fight for Indigenous sovereignty and traditional and customary ways of life.
Through humor, tears and engaging characters, "Calling All Polar Bears" takes you into the heart of the Arctic, with the hope of melting your heart towards a new perspective on the fate of the polar bears and the Inupiaq People.

Allison Warden (AKU-MATU) is an Iñupiaq Eskimo Inter-Disciplinary Artist with a passion for the self-determination of Indigenous Peoples. She raps under the name AKU-MATU and loves working with young people, empowering them through the use of theatre and music. She creates her own beats for her rhymes, sampling traditional sounds and inserting her Iñupiaq language into her songs. She recently performed as AKU-MATU at Columbia University, as part of a concert put on by the Department of Ethnomusicology. She lives in Anchorage, Alaska and has close ties to her home community of Kaktovik, Alaska. Her one-woman show, "Ode to the Polar Bear" has toured extensively across Alaska and the lower-48 and is now re-worked into a completely new and longer piece, titled "Calling All Polar Bears" which is debuting at Pangea Theatre in 2011. The show focuses on an Indigenous perspective of climate change, the push to drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and the fate of Alaska's polar bear. She is excited to tour this new show in 2012. She acted in Andrew MacLean's film, "On the Ice" that premiered at Sundance in 2011. In 2009, she was part of the "virtual subsistence" exhibition at MTS Gallery and coordinated over 25 people to participate in a performance that focused on the incident with the Point Hope caribou and land use issues. Allison was the MC for the Elders and Youth Convention at the Alaska Federation of Natives Conference in October of 2010 and 2011 and was active in presenting about language revitalization. Allison is an engaged community member, passionate about awakening Indigenous youth to their potential and voice. She is most excited about working on her AKU-MATU album and about expressing herself through writing more poetry, plays and a screenplay.
The Indigenous Voices Series was created by Pangea World Theater and is co-presented annually by Intermedia Arts. Indigenous Voices explores issues in the indigenous agenda, focusing not only on internal details but also the wider global and national contexts through the medium of theater and performance art.
In this series, local, national, and international artists raise issues that affect their community—issues of identity, rights, struggles, and experiences. Featured artists have included Native Americans James Luna, Bently Spang, Marcus Amerman, Heid Erdrich, Sterlin Harjo and Keo Woolford; Niuean-Samoan Dianna Fuemana; Native Canadian Margo Kane; and Tasmanian aboriginal Tammy Anderson. The series has included youth workshops, poetry slams and a global indigenous summit featuring speakers from across the world.
ABOUT PANGEA WORLD THEATERPangea World Theater begins from the fundamental paradigm of diversity in the world. Our work expresses this reality and our organization advances this possibility consciously. Since its inception in 1995, Pangea's goals have included creating a new literature with stories from different communities for theater, changing our methods of auditioning in order to include artists from diverse communities who are not trained in the traditional western methods of the audition process, and creating new possibilities and new aesthetic realities for a more diverse audience. As the community of the Twin Cities has become increasingly diverse with the influx of new immigrants, Pangea has actively sought individuals from these communities to be part of our artistic and advisory team.
This project is made possible in part by support from the National Performance Network (NPN) Performance Residency Program. For more information: www.npnweb.org. Calling All Polar Bears is a part of Intermedia Arts' Catalyst Series and Pangea World Theatre's Indigenous Voices Series.
Thank you to our generous sponsors, Bryant-Lake Bowl and Blackbird!

Tonight, Valparaiso's City Council will vote on imposing a proposed wheel tax on vehicles registered in the town. Recently, a few other cities and towns in Northwest Indiana have added wheel taxes, and more are considering it.
The impetus for this issue was the state's road funding bill signed in March, a provision of which allowed cities with a population of 10,000 or more to impose such taxes on vehicles to fund road repair and maintenance. The state also pledged to match the amount raised by each town or city, setting aside money for such funding.
Valpo's proposed tax would be $25 per passenger vehicle and $40 per commercial vehicle, and would be collected during BMV registration. That's an annual fee, by the way.
Usually, roads are funded through gasoline taxes, but raising them at the state or federal level has been received…well, about as well as you'd expect a tax to be. A yearly wheel tax that costs, depending on the vehicle, a little more or a little less than a regular fill-up seems a lot more palatable than paying extra at the pump each time.
So, what's the downside? Well, less money raised in taxes, naturally, means less money for roads. Even with the state effectively doubling the funds, towns will still come up well short of what's needed to maintain their roads.
A gas tax increase wouldn't for sure bridge those budget gaps (a proposed federal increase is estimated to only put a small dent in our needs for federal highway repair). But there's another component of gas taxes: getting people to use less of it. Specifically, to reduce our driving habits and use public transportation, thus lessening the need for road repair (and also, reduce pollution).
But, that angle only works if there's a public transit infrastructure for commuters to use. In the Region, there's not much.
So, wheel taxes are what we got. They're not perfect, but they can do some good. If your town doesn't have one yet, expect to hear more about them from here on out.

|Reviews for Depressed Debra
| Chain Smoker chapter 5 . 5/3/2013
I really like this. It's been a long time, but I wish you'd update.
| Special Agent Stace chapter 5 . 3/7/2009
Oh this is good! I like seeing another side to Debra. Keep going!
| J Prince chapter 5 . 1/5/2009
I like this... I hope you update soon! I want to see how Debra deals with everything.
| alinaandalion chapter 4 . 7/30/2008
I have to admit that I was anxiously looking for an update. Anyway, good job, and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens in the next chapter.
| alinaandalion chapter 3 . 7/6/2008
God, you're seriously killing me. This is so out of character, but I can't help being fascinated by it. Just, gah, words are failing me.
| alinaandalion chapter 2 . 7/5/2008
I'm glad you decided to continue. Honestly, I didn't mention it in my last review, but the whole Debra talks about Ray in that first chapter is pretty heartbreaking. About how she loves him so much that she makes him suffer. Just, there are times when perfection just appears out of nowhere. That was it. And, this chapter was good. I like the complicated emotions running through it in an undercurrent rather than it being stated plainly. It's more subtle and moving. So, great job, and I'm alerting this.
| MaryFan1 chapter 1 . 6/29/2008
This was very interesting. I don't know how closely it really resembles the character but it was well written and a good example of someone look at themselves honestly.
| alinaandalion chapter 1 . 6/29/2008
Amazing. I think that it's a really awesome character study of a what-if situation type thing. Anyway, other than a couple of typos, it was perfect. Best I've seen in ELR in a long time.

Action for the River Kennet is launching a campaign to encourage dog owners to pick up their pets' poo.
The charity launched the Bag It and Bin It campaign, which they are running with Marlborough Town Council, in Stonebridge Meadow last Friday.
Posters have been put up around Stonebridge asking owners to pick up after their dogs.
Town councillors Bryan Castle and Margaret Rose officially launched the campaign along with dogs Spud, Ziggy, Fern and Indie.
ARK's Stonebridge project officer Anna Forbes said: "Schools are now on holiday and more children out and about, so it is an ideal time to remind dog owners to remember to pick up after their dog.
"There are health as well as legal implications and it is simply unpleasant for everyone."
The campaign has been supported by Trained for Life, Riverside Veterinary Centre, The Guild of Dog Trainers, Dogs Trust, North Wessex Downs AONB and Wiltshire Council.
