US Department of Labor recognizes agency to oversee Guam's Registered Apprenticeship program
WASHINGTON The U.S. Department of Labor today announced the formal recognition of the Guam Department of Labor as the state apprenticeship agency authorized to oversee the territory's Registered Apprenticeship system.
"Guam's now federally recognized Registered Apprenticeship program will expand career pathways that lead to good jobs for the territory's workforce," said Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis. "Participants in Guam's apprenticeship program will receive a nationally recognized credential, and employers will benefit from a highly skilled workforce that is trained to industry standards."
The Guam Department of Labor has worked closely with the Office of Apprenticeship of the Labor Department's Employment and Training Administration to develop a Registered Apprenticeship system. ETA's recognition of the Guam Department of Labor as a state apprenticeship agency will support the territory's efforts to improve opportunities for the local workforce through the Registered Apprenticeship "earn and learn" model, which prepares participants for highly skilled careers while allowing them to earn a paycheck.
In July 2011, Guam Gov. Eddie Baza Calvo submitted formal documentation requesting ETA's recognition of the Guam Department of Labor as the agency to facilitate apprenticeship programs and agreements.
"We're finding every way to bring career opportunities to as many Guamanians as possible," said Gov. Calvo. "We're finding every way to enhance the workforce with high-paying jobs for Guamanians."
In addition to Guam, ETA's Office of Apprenticeship has formally recognized apprenticeship agencies in 25 states and the District of Columbia. More information about Registered Apprenticeship can be found online at http://www.doleta.gov/oa.

Hello ladies! How are you all? :)
Today I am going to share with you some benefits of amla or Indian gooseberry. Amla is the richest source of vitamin c and it is good for our health, skin and hair. Read on the review to know the benefits of the fruit.

- Amla Shikakai Homemade Shampoo Recipe
Amla for Skin:
1. Anti Aging
Amla has anti ageing properties. So drink a glass of amla juice daily in the morning and prevent wrinkles.
2. Skin Cleanser
Amla can be used as a skin cleanser. Mix amla powder and olive oil or jojoba oil. Wet your face and use the mixture as a cleanser.
3. Controls Oiliness
For those who have oily skin can mix amla powder and rose water. Use this mixture regularly since the result can't be noticed overnight.
4. Reduce Pores
Amla has astringent properties and it reduces the pore size naturally.
5. Dry Skin
For those who have dry skin can mix amla juice, yogurt and rose water. Apply this mixture for 20 minutes and wash off with water. Your skin will remain soft and supple for the entire day.
6. Skin Elasticity:
Drinking a glass of amla juice daily will make you free from all the problems of skin. It will brighten your skin and will make it healthy naturally. It provides elasticity in the skin and thus lowering the chances of getting wrinkles early.
Amla Benefits for Hair:
As for the skin, amla is good for hair too. Amla prevents the premature graying of hair. It helps reduce hair fall. It soothes the scalp and prevents dandruff.
Following are certain uses of amla that are good for hair :
7. Shiny Hair:
Mix amla juice and olive oil in equal quantities. Apply this concoction for an hour on your hair and wash your hair. You will notice that your hair becomes shiny and soft.
8. Amla Homemade Hair Oil:
You can prepare amla oil at home also. Mix amla powder and coconut oil and boil it. Make sure that the powder does not becomes black. It just needs to be mixed well. Now let it cool and then strain the mixture. This is the home made natural amla oil. Mustard oil or almond oil can be used instead of coconut oil. I use mustard oil but while boiling it, it doesn't smells nice. But as they say no pain no gain (all taurean females can understand that why do I stress more on fragrance.) Use this amla oil to prevent hair loss, dandruff and premature graying of hair.
9. Amla Shampoo
Amla can also be used in homemade shampoos. Amla reetha and shikakai mixed together is the best shampoo for hair. Its natural and safe. Apart from skin and hair amla has medicinal properties too. Apart from being the richest source of vitamin c it also is rich in anti oxidants too. It helps to purify blood and strengthens heart muscles. It helps to control blood sugar and cholesterol. It reduces the risk of cataract and loss of eye vision. It also helps in improving the digestive system and relieves constipation. It is also helpful in controlling hypertension.
The list of benefits is long. I hope you enjoyed the post and I hope that you will have more of amla pickles, candies, juice and murabbas! :)

Sorry I have not posted in awhile – again – life gets in the way sometimes.
It is gonna be hot around here. Much to hot. Very hot. Freaking hot for us anyway.We do hot in the valley here but without the humidity. Are air systems tend to freeze over if running on and on and on in the high moisture. Call me a wimp but high humidity and heat are not my thing. Since MS came along I so do not do them well. Pre Ms I could handle the heat we get here once in a while but not the humidity. I was born and raised here. The area does not experience high humidity along with the heat very often. FREAK
The National Weather Service putting out heat advisories for the area is not rare in the summer but we now are under an Excessive Heat Warning …DANGEROUS HEAT TODAY THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK… . oh blah blah and more blah.
I have to shut the ole computer down soon as the upstairs room the computers are in will be too hot soon as we can not afford to keep the upstairs cool enough at this time. I sure hope to all heck that the power grid stays up or I and the dogs will be driving up and down the freeway to stay cool in the truck.
Till next time . …

Stumptown Dog Heads Out On The Road!
Jun 27
Last week we decided to take a couple of days and do a road trip. Until the day we left we didn't really know where we were going but generally we don't like to go back the same way we came, so we ended up in Reno, NV and then made a round trip through San Francisco. At the time it had been raining in Portland for days so Nevada was a pretty solid choice, granted that it was pretty much guaranteed to be sunny! And sunny it was – roughly 90 degrees in the day and to counter that, a little chilly at night! We took Guinness with us as he is great in the car and is truly only happy when we are all together. On this occasion though, I am not sure Guinness wouldn't have traded all the comforts of his home for the hot hot weather and having to be stuck in air conditioning for most of the hours of the day! We were desperate to find something dog friendly for him to do, when we discovered this great river right in the middle of Reno. The Truckee River is the place to be on a hot day. They have everything from kayaking to rafting to dogs jumping and fetching their toys. It was great and just the cool spot we needed for our hot little dog. Of course, Guinness doesn't swim and is more of a lounger than an athlete – but he waded in the water, cooling his feet and belly and basking in the heat of the sun.
Our trip continued through the picturesque highway into California and back into the cool sea air of San Francisco. It is amazing that as soon as you are near the ocean, the temperature can drop 25 degrees. Guinn was back to being a happy, cool little guy and the spring in his step returned. As always when we are in the Bay Area, we go to one of our favorite dog stores – George . Guinn loves this store – sniffing all the treats and rolling in perspective beds and on this occasion, greeting some kittens that were brought in from a shelter for adoption. We spent the day walking around enjoying the sunshine and cool breeze and soon enough it was time to return to our hotel and get ready to head back in the morning. Guinness is the ultimate road trip dog. He will sleep for hours without even as much and a twitch and enjoys every minute of it. He is very adaptive and probably just really loves to be in the car and with us. We wrapped up our trip with a little bit of shopping and a great lunch and then headed out on the ten hour drive back to Portland. Our little getaway was just what we needed and even though we are always exhausted from the long drive – we are eager to plan our next road-vacation and Guinness is just as eager to hop in the car with us!

Right now the UK is politically divided on whether or not to leave the European Union and the mood in many quarters is ugly. It seems that there is a very strong chance that the forthcoming Brexit referendum could swing in favour of the Leave vote, something that seemed unimaginable a few years ago. The main reason for most people wanting to leave is because they are concerned with the UK's rapid rate of population growth. This article is by Michael Bayliss (President of Sustainable Population Australia Victoria and Tasmania Branch) and Mark Allen (Population, Permaculture and Planning)
People often ask me why I campaign on population and the reason that I give is that it is an issue that is often overlooked by the environment movement and by the wider world at large. I feel that by ignoring this topic, so much of the other great work done by environmentalists and campaigners is in danger of being severely compromised. Rapid population growth is a worldwide issue and it is also an issue here in Australia. One reason for this is because Australia has one of the highest migration rates in the 'developed' world. Due to the way our infrastructure is distributed this is a major reason why an average of 1760 people are added to the population of Melbourne every week and 1600 are added to Sydney. (More by Mark Allen at http://candobetter.net/taxonomy/term/7484)
"When discussing population, let your starting point be about finding the issues that you have in common. It could be about congestion, climate change, loss of heritage, the list goes on. It is not about us pushing our view of the world onto people. Instead it is about helping them to see population in a new light by showing how it connects to the issues that are important to them." This article is based on Mark Allen's speech to the Victorian Branch of Sustainable Population Australia (SPA) Seminar: Attitudes and communication in population and the environment on 23 April 2016. Videos of the event will be available soon. Mark Allen started Population Permaculture and Planning. He has a background in town planning.
Saturday April 23 rd at 1.00pm to 4.00 pm. Venue: Hawthorn Arts Centre, 360 Burwood Rd. Hawthorn Vic 3122. Members and non-members are welcome to attend. Speakers are: Mark Allen, Founder, Population, Permaculture and Planning; Dr Katharine Betts, Population Sociologist, Swinburne University; Hon Kelvin Thomson MP, Environmentalist and high profile sustainable population advocate; Rod Quantock, Environmental activist, Much loved comedian. M.C. SPAVicTas President Michael Bayliss. Audience Q&A and discussion will follow (Free parking behind venue or at nearby Glenferrie Station).
"So, increasing the population – fast population growth and poor planning – they're like a vicious circle. When I worked as a planner, I'd go to VCAT and, quite often, development applications would be turned down by councils and the developer's argument would be, 'I know, ideally, this isn't the best place to build this development, but you do know that Melbourne's population is going to double by 2040-something and so, therefore, we've got to start building high-density in areas where we wouldn't normally build it, because, you know, unless we're just going to sprawl outwards forever…'. But both are going to happen, so we've got to understand that rapid population growth and developers who are making sure that they're taking control of the planning system - they're intertwined." Mark Allen, former planner, of Population, Permaculture and Planning in a speech at the Sustainable Living Festival in Melbourne, 14 February 2016.
Population is a big issue happening in the world today, with our numbers having increased massively from around 1 billion in 1850 to what now looks like 11 billion at the end of the century. Right now, the numbers of the world's poor increase by 80 million each year and the number of unwanted pregnancies are 210 million per annum. Considering that human population predicts 88% of impact to other animal and plant species (according to the International Union for the Conversation of Nature) human population remains a huge, yet very controversial concern.
Sunday 14 Feb 2016 at 12-12.30pm: Mark Allen of Population Permaculture and Planning asks: Is it possible to accommodate a growing population without unacceptably high density living and urban sprawl? If so, what rate of population growth should we be looking at and what types of community should we be creating? This workshop discusses the merits of village style living in combination with permaculture principles and asks the question, where do we go from here?
Sunday 14 Feb 2016 at 12.30-1pm: Mark O'Connor, co-author of Overloading Australia, will look at why environmentalism is almost meaningless when there is no plan to limit growth of population, why this issue is often ignored, and what a better form of environmentalism could and should do. What are humane and practical ways to limit Australia's and the world's population? (Sustainable Population Australia - Victorian Branch (SPA Victoria) organised this event.)
On Thursday the fifth of November 2015, local, state and federal representatives from The Greens launched their plan for a "Better More Liveable Melbourne" but what impact will this plan have considering Victoria's population is increasing by a hundred thousand a year (especially when most of the growth is in Melbourne)?
Mark Allen from Population Permaculture and Planning locks horns so to speak with West Australian Planning Professor, Professor Newman, over Melbourne's apartment proliferation, in discussion on the Conversation website relating traffic congestion to GDP rather than to population growth, and where the professor has suggested that increasing low cost, low quality, high density appartments would solve housing unaffordability.

Welcome to Kiro Kids and NeuroImpulse Protocol. My name is Dr Neil Davies D.C. and I'm an Australian chiropractor, Director of Kiro Kids and the developer of NIP, assessment and correction protocol, also called a chiropractic technique by some. If you've not come across us before, this is a quick synopsis.
After some 20 years of lecturing at a well known Melbourne chiropractic college, I made a decision to teach what my years of study and private practice observations had taught me.
Kiro Kids was born and a private chiropractic educational company started about 2000 to lecture globally and instruct post-graduate chiropractors in the finer skills of motion palpation, neurology and clinical skills. Since my particular passion was paediatrics, many of these course related to assessment and care of infants and older children. In 2000, I authored Clinical Paediatrics A Clinical Handbook (revised in 2010) and developed the teaching program Adjusting the Child.
As the years passed and we applied these techniques equally to adults with satisfying results, we adapted the teaching courses and renamed our evolving protocol of assessment and correction techniques to NeuroImpulse Protocol or NIP, as it is often called. The last six years has been a whirlwind of global seminars, working with chiropractors in many countries in their own clinics, assisting by way of Skype and administering the Certificate and Masters courses in Chiropractic Paediatrics we developed for the University of Wales.
This project was borne of the need to become more efficient, save time and reach a wider part of our profession. While we have kept an updated website at www.neuroimpulse.com for some years now and released an ever growing range of clinical education products in the way of interactive CDs and DVDs, it was not until early this year that we finally developed our first membership site called NIP Academy and made the Bronze level free to all chiropractors to join.
We have now published this blog at www.neuroimpulse.net and many of the seminar and course updates will reside on this domain. The original website has just had its much needed overhaul and all its content is gradually reproduced here and within NIP Academy. The real goodies are found within NIP Academy at several protected membership levels which one has to subscribe to.
The value in these memberships is immense and far cheaper than a hotel weekend seminar. In fact, at our Platinum level, you'll find streaming videos of our recently held Australian seminars without the travel and accommodation costs of those that attended!
I welcome you here and invite you to make a comment, send us any inquiries and to join NIP Academy at no initial cost. Any chiropractor with an interest in paediatrics, a neurological approach to patient care, Gonstead technique or simply evidence-based protocols will find the material intriguing.
Finally, if you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates.

To work or not to work. Every new mother's never-ending dilemma.
After my nine week maternity leave, I returned to my demanding, stressful, but fulfilling career that I had always loved before having a baby. I quickly realized how challenging it was going to be to balance work and home life. I was distracted and sad when I was at work. I was exhausted and impatient when I was home with the baby at night. I felt like I was doing everything half-assed. At some point, something's gotta give, right? With a full-time (and then some) job, a traveling husband, and a newborn, I knew I had to reduce my responsibilities. And so, the only logical solution at the moment was to put my career temporarily on hold.
I decided I'd give myself one year at home. One year, spent enjoying every moment with my baby, while taking care of two other children part-time to supplement a little income. It sounded like the perfect happy medium. As it turns out, stay at home mommyhood wasn't much easier than the mayhem of being a working mother. I missed the fulfillment I felt from having a career and the social interaction that I had enjoyed at work. I was still exhausted and impatient at night after long days of chasing children. And now, I find it frustrating that after a year and a half of motherhood, I still feel as though I haven't fully adjusted. I haven't figured out how to balance my responsibilities as a mother while trying to seek satisfaction as a professional woman. Apparently, in this situation, it seems like the grass will always be greener.
As my one year at home comes to an end, I'm debating that same simple question. To work or not to work? I'm finding it equally as difficult to make a decision as it was 18 months ago after my son was born.
I decided to put together a pros and cons list to help me try to work out the answer to the age old question… To work or not to work?
|Co-Workers! Other adults with similar interests readily available to speak to at any time. I might actually get to say more than 2-3 word phrases for the majority of the day.
|Co-Workers… My social skills are probably limited at this point, since I spend the majority of my time babbling with a baby. I will definitely need to gain some confidence in the social department before trying to make some friends at work.
|Simply GOING to work. I will get to leave the house every single day, enjoy some alone time in the car listening to loud music, and then will spend eight hours without a child attached to my hip.
|Actually Going to Work. If I decide to take a job, I will be forced to be somewhere, dressed and showered, every day. I will need to be out of house and at work on time. I will need to pack for my son, get him to day care, and then actually leave him without crying or having a ridiculous, guilty mother break down every morning.
|Lunch Hour. If I'm lucky enough to find a job that will enforces a lunch hour (I know I hardly ever took a lunch in my last position…. But one can dream), I will get to sit at a table with other adults and actually eat an entire meal without singing nursery rhymes to try to distract my toddler enough to force feed him some vegetables.
|Lots of hours away from baby. Of course, I might enjoy a lunch hour sans baby, but will I like being away from him all day? I mean, he drives me insane for a decent part of the day simply because he's a toddler, but I do love the kid to death. I know I totally complain about his dependence on me, but am I similarly (secretly) dependent on him?? Am I ready to leave him all day?
|Bathroom Breaks. I will get to go to the bathroom at least once or twice a day without anyone else in the stall with me. Ah, it's the little things in life.
|Bathroom Breaks. Yeah, no cons to this one. I miss peeing alone.
|Daycare. My son will attend day care. He will learn to enjoy time away from me. He won't be so desperately attached to me at all times. He will make some baby friends. And the best part, I can run an errand or get a quick workout in before I pick him up.
|Daycare. Having managed a daycare center for several years, will I be that crazy, overbearing mother who has insane expectations? Probably. I can tell you that I will definitely be secretly jealous of whatever teacher is caring for my son, no matter how amazing she is, just because she is getting to spend a significant amount of time with my precious baby.
|Finances. It would definitely be nice to be contributing a little bit more to the financial status of our household.
|Finances. While I definitely want to contribute to our household income, after considering the cost of day care, I may actually be losing money if I decide to accept a position over nannying part time and getting paid under the table.
|Kickstarting my Career. I've worked hard as hell to graduate from college, pursue my Master's degree, and obtain four professional teaching certifications. For the amount of student loans I still need to pay off, I sure as hell better use that shit at some time in my life.
|Having a Career. The issue with having a job as a mother is the constant amount of guilt that I feel for pursuing my dreams over staying home and spending valuable time with my child that I know I can't get back. Is it worth it to give that up in pursuit of a career?
So there it is. A pros and cons list, nice and neat, in table format. Now, if only making the final decision felt so precise and organized. The only thing I can do is what feels right for our family at this exact moment and hope for the best. And avoid second guessing myself and my decisions as a mother and a career-oriented woman. Oh yeah, and as always, have a glass or wine (or two) to make it all a little bit easier.
Have some pros or cons to add to my list? Or some awesome motherly advice??? Leave me a comment below. I'd love to hear your feedback.

Yes, that's trinitite, the mineral created in 1945 in Alamogordo, New Mexico, when scientists exploded the world's first atomic bomb. A sample of it is here held in the hand of Ellen Klages, author of The Green Glass Sea, winner of the 2007 Scott O'Dell Award for Historical Fiction.
I met Ellen and her trinitite at a party graciously thrown for her by publisher Viking/Penguin in New York this past Monday. Fuse #8 has a lively account of the evening, and I interviewed Ellen Klages for a podcast you be able to hear, oh, next month or so. She's a good talker. When I re-read The Green Glass Sea for the occasion I was again struck by the absolute assurance of its opening pages, pulling readers right into empathy with its protagonist and making them companions on the journey–and, praise Jesus, not a metaphorical one, but an actual trip with an actual destination–she immediately begins. It's a model for How to Start a Book.
In the lineup below are, from left to right, Green Glass Sea editor Sharyn November, O'Dell committee chair Hazel Rochman, me, Ellen Klages, Penguin Books for Young Readers President Doug Whiteman, sponsor of the award Elizabeth Hall, and fellow juror Ann Carlson.

Genesis will wrap up a year's worth of reissues and box sets with The Movie Box, a five-DVD collection spotlighting the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame-nominated band's live performances while Phil Collins was at the helm. Included in The Movie Box, which will be released November 24th, are the DVD debuts of Three Sides Live, a 1981 concert film from New York's Nassau Coliseum, and 1984's Genesis Live - The Mama Tour. The fifth DVD in the set will feature an updated version of Genesis' VH1's Behind the Music special, which originally aired in 1999, before the group's reunion with Collins.
Meet all of this year's Rock Hall nominees.
The Movie Box will also house Live At Wembley Stadium, filmed at the famed British venue during four sold-out nights of the Invisible Touch tour, plus the 1992 concert video Genesis: The Way We Walk-Live In Concert. All of the concert films will boast new 5.1 DTS and Dolby Digital sound mixes, plus their accompanying documentaries.
Just last month, Genesis released the 10-disc box set Genesis Live 1973-2007, which followed the reissuing of the band's entire 14 album catalog on CD/DVD. As Rolling Stone previously reported, all eras of Genesis — from Peter Gabriel to Phil Collins to Ray Wilson and back to Phil Collins — were among the nominees for the 2010 class of inductees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This year's inductees will be announced in January 2010.

From my truck driving-this is what I have used and what works. The Centrimatics with ball bearings in ATF in a metal ring that mounts between the drum and wheel works best. Balancemasters with mercury in a metal ring that mounts between the drum and wheel doesn't have enough weight to do anything-don't waste your money. Equal-packets of powder that goes inside the tire works somewhat until the powder gets clumpy from moisture-course if you use Nitrogen, that will work. Golf balls-according to my tire man-a definite no-no since they can do interior tire and wheel damage (that's enough for me!). Any of these additional dynamic balancing devices should only be used with a statically balanced tire and wheel. They aren't designed to offset an already out of balanced tire. Good luck, TomC
And not the discount you or your tire man, but I've never found one shred of evidence, nor have I been able to convince myself, that a golf ball in a tire can possibly cause any interior tire or wheel damage. I have personally inspected tire casings which had run 50,000 miles with 6 golf balls inside them. The only indication they were in there were tiny pock marks on the rim where the balls had bounced at low speed and left a smudge in the grime.
I run centrimatics on my rear axle. They don't make a set to fit my steer axle rims (which I found out after ruining a set they originally sent me).
I find it curious that people will scoff at golf balls and repeat how they've heard from someone else that they can do damage to the tire, but think nothing of putting a powder in there which could clump up and could potentially abrade the casing as it slides round and round at low speed and vibrates at high speed. What's that stuff made of anyway? Glass beads? Sand?

It seems to me that golf balls or other balancing media would have to be the correct amount of weight, if the whell tire combo needed 6 oz and you put 8 oz of media in the tire it would not work right . Is this correct?

Politicly ? Or Unpoliticly ? LOL ?
I've been avoiding this post like the plague, but I now feel I should at least share my fisrt hand experinces ! Back when I was trucking I had a Frieghtliner that drove & rode like a dream ! But after 35-50,000 miles both front tires would start cupping on the inside, well I'd get it aligned, have new steers put on (moving the "old ones" to the trailer) have them balanced ! And again she'd ride & Drive like a dream ! (I was a faithful customer at TREADCO in Tampa, FL with an account and when I needed tires I'd drop the truck off an tell 'em to do what ever it was I needed done!) Well after having been thru this 3 times in six months & 100,000 miles the manager came out and talked to me one day while dropping the truck off and said he wanted to make me an offer I couldn't refuse ! Hey I'm dumb not stupid ! So I listened to his offer, they would take all 18 tires off my truck and put on 18 all new experimental Bridgestone directional tires, balanced, and with the (new at the time mercury filled balancers all the way around!) free! If I'd bring the truck by after every trip from FL to CA and back to FL so they could monitor the tire wear, and I could give them feedback on the ride and handling characteristics of these "new" tires & balancers ! I agreed (uh again I might be dumb but not stupid ! Anyone ever price a new set of 18 tires for a big rig ?) and they hooked me up with what at the time were "experimental directional Bridgestones" and those worthless piece of crap balancers ! After the first round I returned and told him I hoped he had my old tires still around, wouldn't ya know it they were sold before I'd left with the new ones ! When he asked why I wanted my old ones back I told hime I'd driven on logging rds and had a better ride ! He couldn't believe it, I told him that the front end vibrated, the drives shimmied, and the tralier literally shook ! Again he still couldn't believe it ! He had 3 others trying out those same tires and they loved them ! Well I told him let's go for a ride and I let him drive, he made a comment about a shake before we hit 50 mph, I told him that was the trailer then came the shimmy, and once he set the cruise at 70 came the vibration (only vibrated at steady speed, if speeding up or slowing down it didn't vibrate at all! The shimmy was the opposite it only did it on acceleration or deceleration *down shifting, jakes on, etc* and the trailer shook all the time !) Well he was truely baffled as he had 3 others trying the same tires in different scenario's (I was the only one truely going coast to coast !)and they loved them ! Well the main difference was that when he put the others on he hadn't aquired the balancers yet so he hadn't installed them on the other 3 ! So we went back to his shop, where I left my truck again and they removed the balancers ! When I left FL the ride was smooth as silk and I was happy as could be, but after about a month the tires started cupping (but still riding smooth). He put a new set on the front,balanaced 'em, & checked the alignment, away I went they rode great, they handled good and again after 25-30,000 miles they started cupping again. He was baffled as were his contacts at Bridgestone, who asked me to bring it by a shop in CA where they did a 5 axle alignment on the truck (and were surprised at how little it was out of alignment!), they checked the tread , air pressure, rebalanced all 18 wheels, cut small slivers of tread of for analist to be sure the composition was right, and I don't remember what else, but the fact of it was at 30,000 miles or so the steer tires on that truck would cup ! Well I was home here in TN for a family reunion, and my uncle who owned 9 buses (it's his fault!!! I'm a busnut !) and I were talking and got on this subject, and he told me to put 4-6 golfballs in each steer tire ! I laffed my A** off at him and asked him how much he'd had to drink and said no seriously I've got some buses that no matter what they either go thru tires like mad or have a vibration and we've tried everything, but nothing except putting golf balls in the tires has helped ! I still didn't believe him, but he said he'd heard it from an old timer who swore by it and it'd worked for him and he was so convinced he said come on I'll have my mechanic put 'em in for ya while yer here today! So we took the tractor down to his mechanics house where he jacked up the front end broke the tire loose from the rims (still on the truck)and popped 6 balls in each tire! Well I got back on schedule running FL-CA-FL and never said a word about the golf balls(I was too embarassed, and didn't believe they'd make a difference!) Wow Mike was estatic when I hit 70,000 miles and no cupping (I was too, but kept my mouth shut!) ! Well when it came time to rotate those tires to the trailer and they broke'm down and found the golf balls I had to explain, Mike couldn't believe it but the proof was there and we both saw it there were 6 badly disformed golf balls in each tire but no cupping ! Long after I got rid of that truck I learned on another what the cupping problem was all along ! I had another one that was eating up the inside edge of the tires, and had it in the dealer 8 times in 10 months for alignment problems (different dealers 4 times) when my girlfriend and I weent to pick it up one saturday the service manager said hey look we're wasting our time constantly aligning this thing, and it won't be covered under warranty next time! Whoooa hold on Jack ! Boy Debbie come unglued on him ( she was a paralegal and was working on getting her degree !) Well he backed off, and we started talking again and he called the alignment guy up to see what his ideas were, and we were all talking and tossing ideas back and forth, when he say's do you pull the same trailer all the time ? (after telllnig us he'd test drove it and it still had the same shimmy around 50-55 mph it'd always had) Boy o boy Deb lost it again started cuss'n him like a dog and asked do I look like a frigg'n blonde to you or what ? Puzzled he said no, but why ? She said you just told me it still shimmys, but then you ask about the trailer which is at home, only a moron or a blonde would be dumb enough to believ the trailer could be causing it if you just drove it and it's still shimming and the trailer is 50 miles away form it! (good point wish I'd caught it! ) Anyway they had me take it to a frame & alignment specialist shop, which I did! Upon picking it up the manager was real nice and polite talking to us and asking us if we'd mind taking him for a test ride so he personally could be with us to verify we were happy, sure no problem. Took it got on the interstate drove better than new (since it'd had this problem since new!) He asked where our trailer was and if we could go get it just to be sure! Hooked up and took him back to the shop handled great I was like a new father and Deb was all smiles too ! So when we got him back to the shop Deb started asking him questions like what had they done that the dealers had overlooked 8 times, and why was he so concerned about making sure we BOTH we satisfied and all. Well they told us that 9 out of 10 new trucks have the wrong Chaimber not sure on spelling) from the factory but they set them as close as they can which falls into the truck manufactures specs, but not the manufacture of the front axles specs ! So they literaly bend (bow up) the axle itself in the middle to bring it where it can be adjusted properly and the dealership shops are not properly trained in this (and the few who are, are just too lazy to do it *as was the case in our dealership!*) . Then he went on to say he'd been called by the owner of the dealership himself and was told to do whatever it took to make us happy or bring us back to the dealer where he'd exchange that truck for another new one with the stipulation that we'd take any future problems elsewhere ! Come to find out Deb had written a letter to the Frieghtliner Corperation about our issues and unhappieness (on her employers letterhead and as my representive), which had gotten back to the owner of the dealership and he didn't want the bad publicity and/or lawsuit! Now as far using golfballs I don't anymore I now use equal and have been totally happy! BK

I looked at the michellin tire warranty, If you put ANYTHING except air or nitrogen in their tire, the warranty is void.
Goodyear wasn't as harsh, but did reserve the right to void the warranty if they determine the added stuff damaged the tire.
I'm no tire expert, but if 2 of the biggest tire makers warn against putting stuff inside the tire in their warranty..... well, it makes me think they must know something I don't and it is not as simple as some would have you to believe.
To me, it is obvious that the tire designers had no plans for stuff inside the tire and made no provisions for measuring the wear of the inner casing.
BTW, BK made an excellent point about the alignment.
I have had tires that were regularly inspected fail from hidden damage and that was no fun. The cost to repair the damage was much more than a few tires.
My choice is to follow the tire manufacturers recommendations for my uses and to wish good luck to those who ignore the manufacturers advice.

5 of my Favourite Photo Blogs
I like words. So there aren't all that many photo based blogs on my favourites lists. But here are 5 I do really love.
Dear Photograph
Dear Photograph is a user generated content blog. People take pictures of themselves holding up a photo from the past in the present and accompany this with a short message. It's a unique idea and some of the contributions are simply beautiful.
Czermak Photography
Czermak Photography is a blog I have a particular interest in as it is that of my 14 year old cousin, Christopher. Christopher doesn't update it anywhere near as often as he should, but he's a young man with a very keen interest in photography and a natural ability to capture beauty with a camera.
Angry People in Local Newspapers
APILN is brilliant!! This blog celebrates the 'art' of local newspaper photography and is just hilarious. If you've ever enjoyed overly posed photographs of people infuriated by dogs pooing in parks, then this is for you.
Damn You Autocorrect
Not photography in its traditional form, granted. Damn You Autocorrect is a series of screenshots of text iPhone text messages gone wrong as a result of the in built autocorrect feature. Brilliantly funny.
Manchester Daily Photo
As a resident of Manchester, I'm always fascinated by how other people see the city I know so well. Manchester Daily Photo is, as you might imagine, a daily photo of Manchester! It's one I go and check every couple of days and I reckon you should do the same.

Mta Nominee Defends Membership In Social Club
Governor Spitzer's nominee to head the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Dale Hemmerdinger, is defying a request from a state lawmaker that he resign from the Harmonie Club, a private social group in Manhattan. Critics of the East Side club, including Mayor Bloomberg, a former member, have said it is racially exclusive.
Questioned about his role in the club by state Senator Bill Perkins yesterday during a hearing before the Senate Transportation Committee, Mr. Hemmerdinger told the committee that while he was no longer "active," he is currently a member of the club and was once its president. Mr. Hemmerdinger told reporters after the hearing that he did not see any reason to step down.
In a letter to Mr. Spitzer earlier this week, Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries of Brooklyn asked that Mr. Hemmerdinger leave the club, saying his membership "would send the wrong message" to MTA passengers. Reached by phone, Mr. Perkins said he was not satisfied with Mr. Hemmerdinger's testimony and will meet with Mr. Jeffries today before deciding whether to support the nominee.
"When one transitions from private sector to public service, you have to be particularly sensitive to send a message of inclusion," Mr. Jeffries said. "To continue membership with what the public today establishes as a racially exclusive club is insensitive at best and offensive at worst." He said he would withdraw his objection to the nomination if Mr. Hemmerdinger left the club.
"I was president of the Harmonie Club 20 years ago," Mr. Hemmerdinger said in a written statement yesterday. "I was actively involved then in an effort to recruit minority groups and women members. I know for a fact that the club does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, color, creed, national origin, or sexual orientation."
The club was founded in 1905 in response to discrimination by Christian clubs against Jews.
While running for mayor in 2001, Mr. Bloomberg quit the Harmonie Club and several others, saying he had unsuccessfully urged them to seek a more diverse membership. "Those clubs have a right to do what they want," he said at the time, " but if I can't change them, and I choose to resign, then I have chosen to go elsewhere." Earlier this year, Senator Obama cancelled a fundraiser at the club. A campaign spokesman reportedly said the decision was in part because Mr. Obama "like Mayor Bloomberg, feels strongly that the diversity of membership in an organization is essential criteria for selecting an event site."

Castle Fantasia 2 Renewal
Castle Fantasia 2 is a turn-based tactical RPG, with extensive visual novel-like story intermission scenes. The Castle Fantasia 2: Renewal re-release includes high-resolution CG images, voice acting for all text spoken by the characters in-game and CD audio music.
The tactical RPG portions of the game are in the standard "All player units do their actions, then all enemy units do their actions" format. Units are laid out on a grid of squares. At most one unit may occupy a square, and each unit faces one of the four sides. Each unit may move and change facing once per turn, and may also do an action: either attack, defend, cast a magic spell, perform a limit attack or perform an "Ougi(Special)" attack. The units may move and do actions in any order, and may interleave their moves and actions. Each units have a certain amount of HP and LP. Attacks reduce the enemy's HP, and attacking the side or the back of enemies causes extra damage. Attacking, defending and being attacked increases the LP. When the LP meter is full, the unit can perform a Limit attack, which does extra damage, or an "Ougi" attack, which does extra damage and can target multiple enemies. A unit also gains experience when attacking and eliminating enemy units. With sufficient experience, a unit will gain a level, increasing attack and defense. Spellcasters may learn new spells at each level, and characters can also learn their "Ougi" attack.
During the intermission scenes, the player controls the actions of Hewie, and is given choices for Hewie's actions. The consequences of these actions affect Hewie's relationship with the other characters, potentially unlocking a romantic relationship with some characters.

Multiplication through Fun Games
For details, see near the bottom of this page.
Please study
the decimal number system
, if you have not already done so.
They are prerequisites here.
Suppose you have 5 packs of chocolates and each pack has 2 chocolates in it. How many chocolates do you have ?
You have 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 chocolates.
Using our knowledge of Addition, we can find this repeated addition as 10.
Since you have 5 packs of 2 chocolates, you have added 2, five times and you got 10.
So, we can say 2 added 5 times gives 10 or simply 5 times 2 is 10.
We write this as 5 x 2 = 10.
Great Deals on School & Homeschool Curriculum Books
You know, a cat has four legs. Suppose there are 3 cats. How many legs altogether ?
The answer is 4 + 4 + 4.Using our knowledge of Addition, we can find this repeated addition as 4 + 4 + 4 = 12 or 3 times 4 is 12 or 3 x 4 = 12. The above two examples are examples of Multiplication as repeated addition.
Let us see one more example.
Here is a collection of proven tips, tools and techniques to turn you into a super-achiever - even if you've never thought of yourself as a "gifted" student.
The secrets will help you absorb, digest and remember large chunks of information quickly and easily so you get the best grades with the least amount of effort.
If you apply what you read from the above collection, you can achieve best grades without giving up your fun, such as TV, surfing the net, playing video games or going out with friends!
Know more about the Speed Study System.
Do you know an octopus which lives in sea ? How many legs does it have ? It has 8 legs. How many legs altogether 4 octopuses have ?
The legs they have is 8 + 8 + 8 + 8. Using our knowledge of Addition, we can find this repeated addition as 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 32 or 4 times 8 is 32 or 4 x 8 = 32.
In all these three examples, we have seen repeated addition of a number. Instead of writing the number and the + symbol repeatedly, we are counting how many times the number is added and writing it as that count x the number.
We say that the number is multiplied by the count and the process is called mutiplication.
The symbol for multiplication is 'x'.
Thus, multiplication is nothing but the repeated addition.
Fill in the blanks.

Recently, I have found a series of math curricula (Both Hard Copy and Digital Copy) developed by a Lady Teacher who taught everyone from Pre-K students to doctoral students and who is a Ph.D. in Mathematics Education.
This series is very different and advantageous over many of the traditional books available. These give students tools that other books do not. Other books just give practice. These teach students "tricks" and new ways to think.
These build a student's new knowledge of concepts from their existing knowledge.These provide many pages of practice that gradually increases in difficulty and provide constant review.
These also provide teachers and parents with lessons on how to work with the child on the concepts.
The series is low to reasonably priced and include Elementary Math curriculum and Algebra Curriculum.
Here is a collection of kids math games and fun math activities for the class room or for the home, to make math exciting and easy to learn.
They help you
* To save you time and money to be spent on resources, games and books.
* To become a wonderful, fun teacher or parent who knows how to make math fun, interesting and effective.
* To cater for all different ability levels and cater for different learning styles.
* To see your kids math skills soar and their grades in math going up and up.
This Collection of Fun Math Games are electronic books (e-books) that are downloaded to your computer in a flash. You can start printing games right away. You get to print only what you want and as many copies as you need.

Singer Randy Travis has undergone heart surgery in a Texas hospital after suffering viral cardiomyopathy, his family says.
Travis, known more in recent years for his drunken brushes with the law than his award-winning music career, was listed in critical condition upon his admission to the medical facility.
"We have been told he has had surgery. Our prayers are going out to him because my husband just had a heart attack last year, so it is in their family," Travis' sister-in-law Teresa Traywick told People. "Their mother passed away at an early age with her heart, so it is like these boys are following right in their footsteps. My prayers are with them. That's all I can say right now."
The singer's condition following surgery, thought to have taken place Monday, has not been released.
Travis' rep confirmed his dire illness yesterday, saying the 54-year-old is "suffering from complications of recently acquired viral cardiomyopathy," an illness in which the heart becomes "enlarged, stiffened and/or thickened," according to WebMD, and can cause heart failure and fluid backup into the lungs.
Despite the problems of the past few years, Travis seemed to have turned over a new leaf and was touring again after releasing a new single, "Tonight I'm Playing Possum," in tribute to his friend the late George Jones. His shows this week have been canceled.

I've seen similar posts to this but the solutions are not paying off in this case. I've made a subtheme of Omega html5. My front page is fine, other nodes have the right sidebar sitting under the left sidebar. In instances where the Content is longer than the left sidebar, it wraps to the left between left and right sidebars.
I noticed this after creating a slideshow view for my articles. Though I'd also been doing other things such as moving blocks around and messing with the global.css and creating content types and menus. So I can't really point to one thing that happened to crash this.
I've removed the styles I put in the global.css file, and I've turned off each block one by one ... no change. I've tried site validation tool and the css has a lot of issues that seem to be irrelevant except maybe that some items have no class even though the attribute is called up:
e.g. "Line 440, Column 87: there is no attribute "CLASS"
…ypeof="sioc:Item foaf:Document" class="node node-news-item node-promoted node-…"
But if that's relevant, I'm not sure what to do with that.
Interestingly, if I have the Blocks debugging blocks visible in the admin view, it shows a debugging block for both the left and right sidebars but NO DEBUGGING BLOCK for the content. The content of the content block is there though.
I updated from 7.9 to 7.10 yesterday to see if that would change anything but nothing changed.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
I can't reproduce this behavior. Which version of omega is in use?
If the slideshow is thought to be the cause, have you disabled it to check?
subtheme layout issue: sidebar right is broken
Same story here. Installed omega theme using drush. Created subtheme using drush. But the sidebar-second is being stacked under the main content.
The issue is only on the frontpage. When I click on an article, the layout shows correctly.
Here is the link: http://d7.stattler.com
Cleared cache using
drush cc all , but to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated.
which browser is in use?
When checking with IE8 the sidebar bar remains to the right of the content regardless of the size of the window.
When using FF 10.01 and reducing the window, the sidebar does move to below the content. First thing I'd check is that the image included in one of the articles isn't too large?
Actually, that was not related to the subtheme. It was a CSS issue. I was able to narrow down the actual problem after creating a new subtheme and enabling the global.css file step by step. It was due to an background image that I was loading using the url option.
Same problem
Hey, have you got any solutions? I can't figure out where the problem is. Also if my web is running offline, then everything's fine. I tried to copy folder from my pc on online server, but problem remains. :/
Main content block
I was having a similar problem with a completely fresh install of Drupal/Omega from an installation profile. The problem was that the Main Content block had not been placed in the Content region. The result was that the content displayed to the page was wrapping underneath sidebar first and sidebar second was stacked under that. It was also missing the page title.
Fixing up the block configuration sorted the problem out.

Two university students in Maryville will be taking part in a special military exercise this summer.
Northwest junior Kyle Sander will travel to Washington state for the ROTC's annual leaders development and assessment course or "LDAC". Ben Dean will also be going to Fort Lewis for the one month training program, designed to discover future military leaders. Both recently participated in a joint ROTC training with others from Missouri Western and two Kansas City colleges to prepare for the exercise. Sanders says that was valuable to help them get ready.The national leader training exercise is set for June.

I just got a parking ticket for, get this, a street cleaning violation. Apparently from 8-noon on Thursdays during the month of May you can't park on the streets outlying downtown. I had no idea this was the case because, A) there wasn't a sign saying it anywhere B) there were about 25 other cars parked on this street so I assumed it would be okay like it is every other day I've done it for the past 9 months. !%$&#@&$ shit pisses me off. Maybe we could make the rule a little more arbitrary, like on every even day when the moon aligns with Neptune, you can only park in the polka dot zone.

Blalock returning to Texas for exam
Published 7:00 pm, Sunday, May 25, 2008
Rangers infielder Hank Blalock, who has been taking medication for carpal tunnel syndrome in his right wrist, will return to Texas for an examination Tuesday.
He will miss the three-game series against the Rays, and won't resume swinging a bat for at least a couple days.
Blalock may go out on a minor league rehab assignment before being activated from the disabled list.
"I haven't had a chance to discuss that with Hank," Rangers manager Ron Washington said Monday. "Right now, the only thing we're concerned about is when he can play."
Blalock originally went on the 15-day DL with a left hamstring injury on April 29, retroactive to April 26. He experienced soreness in the wrist last week.

The league is working extensively to finish new changes to the upcoming season in attempts to correct and penalize players for flopping. Flopping is when a player exaggerates a reaction to contact(or sometimes performs the fall or reaction with no contact.) The league is moving in a direction to grant infractions to players after a game has completed. The infractions will lead to fines and sus ...Read more ›

SIMON Cowell, Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden all have given the thumbs up to Susan Boyle's rendition of "I Dreamed a Dream," now clocking more than 50 million hits on YouTube.
But — moment of truth here — what does the man who wrote the song think?
"I think of Edith Piaf," says lyricist Alain Boublil, who, with composer Claude-Michel Schonberg, wrote the song for the long-running hit "Les Miserables."
PHOTOS: Susan Boyle's Mini-Makeover
VIDEO: Why is No One Suspicious of Susan Boyle?
"Piaf was a small woman who looked like nothing. And then she opened her mouth, and this beautiful sound came out."
Though Boyle's a bit larger than Edith Piaf — no one was thinking "sparrow" when they first saw her on "Britain's Got Talent" last week — it's certainly true that her singing voice doesn't match the physical appearance.
"You expect nothing," says Boublil, "and then she opens her mouth and you get three or four of the most exciting moments I have ever seen on television. Act I: She arrives and everyone is laughing at her. Act II: She bowls them over. Act III: Everyone is out of their seats.
"You cannot plan any of that. My wife was crying when she saw it. Even the most cynical people I know have been moved."
"I Dreamed a Dream" was one of the first songs Boublil wrote for "Les Miz" in 1979.
"I remember I was in a car driving in the north of France and was working on this song about Fantine. Her descent into hell — she loses everything: her money, her daughter — takes up several chapters. I had to encapsulate 50 pages of the novel into a three-minute song. So I decided rather than to list all the happiness, I would go inside her head — 'I Dreamt of a Different Life' was the original title. And that is how the lyric was born."
The song — which was changed to "I Dreamed a Dream" with the help of British lyricist Herbert Kretzmer — has been recorded by Patti LuPone, Elaine Paige, Aretha Franklin and Neil Diamond, to name a few.
Franklin and Diamond's versions are particular favorites of Boublil's, with Boyle coming up right behind them, especially since she's now in a position to make the song a chart-topper.
She will likely record it on an album to be produced by Cowell's record company. He's predicting that album will shoot to No. 1 in America.
Since Boyle appeared on "Britain's Got Talent" last week, "I Dreamed a Dream" — LuPone's version — has charted at No. 27 on iTunes.
"I didn't even know the single still existed," says Boublil. "The funny thing is that on iTunes, before you come to 'I Dreamed a Dream,' all the songs are hip-hop and dance records.
" 'Les Miserables' is something quite special. Every time we think we are done with it, we are not."
Boublil and Schonberg, who also wrote "Miss Saigon," are at work on a new musical, and Boublil's writing a three-character play.
Their last Broadway outing — "The Pirate Queen" — was a $15 million flop.
"We may have misconceived the show," Boublil concedes, but he believes the score is worth a listen, adding: "It is not inferior. If it were, I would say that very calmly. But I do believe it contains some very fine musical moments."
Why not get Susan Boyle to record a song from it on her upcoming album?
"Well, the main song is a duet ["If I Said I Love You"]. Who could do it with her?"
How about Paul Potts, the mobile-phone-salesman-turned opera singer who was last year's Susan Boyle?
"That's an idea," says Boublil. "If I were a friend of Simon Cowell, I'd suggest that."
SPEAKING of famous songs, I began a column recently with: "Spring," as Oscar Hammerstein II wrote, "is here."
Naturally, I had my head handed to me by those sniping little carrion-feeders over at All That Chat. They gleefully pointed out that it was Lorenz Hart who wrote "Spring Is Here."
Oh, you smug little fools! You fell right into my trap!
On page 146 of "The Complete Lyrics of Oscar Hammerstein II," you'll find a song, written in 1929 for "Sweet Adeline," that is called . . . "Spring Is Here."
And you call yourselves show queens.

since school started he walks by my classroom everyday and looks at meVisitor's Question from a 16-20 year old Female
Ok so around March i met this guy that i really liked and we both had the same friends. So i started finding out stuff about him and going to all of his home track meets and i would talk to him and stuff. And i found out that we had alot in common. Well then i found out that he had been talking to this girl(she was a senior and her was a junior) since october and nothing was happening. So i kept talking to him on the phone but never at school because i hardly saw him, we had lunch together but i didnt want to go interupt his conversations with his friends. Well i invited him to my sweet 16 and he came, he introduced himself to my mom! he asked me to dance when slow songs played and we even fast danced together. lol. and he sang happy birthday sweet sixteen to me while we were dancing. and before he left he held my hand and looked into my eyes and said he had a good time.
well i found out that a few weeks later he started going out with that senior girl, who was graduating in a couple of weeks!
So i stopped talking to him, he made me so mad, and over the summer i got over it and i moved on. He's still going out with that girl and she went to college 350 miles away.
But since school started he walks by my classroom everyday and looks at me. And i fell for him all over again. i don't know what to do. all of my friends and his friends told me that they thought things were really going to work out with us.
he's not a player or anything he's a really good christian guy & that's exactly what im looking for.
the night of my party i really thought we fell in love with eachother.
what should i do?
RomanceClass.com Advice
Try to get a chance to talk to him alone and explain that you are developing feelings for him (again!)but that you don't want to get involved with a guy who is already going out with a girl.
Hopefully he will agree to stop seeing the other girl and fall for you.
I hope things go your way!

When I first discovered Jerusalem Artichokes I didn't know quite what to do with them. First I didn't know what they tasted like, or what went well with them. It turns out they're nutty, sweet and earthy. Something to be tried, not just described.
They look like dirty, knobby pieces of ginger root. They're nothing like artichokes, and they're not even from Jerusalem. Go figure. They're also called sunchokes, which makes a bit more sense. For people into etymology, apparently the name 'Jerusalem' may have come from a bastardization of the Italian word for sunflower, 'girisole', since the vegetable is actually related to the sunflower, not the artichoke. It would take someone with extremely poor hearing to mess up 'girisole' (pronounced gee' ree' ZO' leh') with Jerusalem, though, so I'm not convinced. Like celeriac, they make a great substitute for mashed potatoes, but they also make a great soup.
The only problem is they're really, really annoying to clean. Try using a spoon to scrape away the skin, instead of an actual vegetable peeler. The silky smooth txture of the soup is worth it. Make this on a Sunday with a friend, when you have time.
I made this soup for the first time a year ago and reveled in the wonders of girisoli. They're often hard to find and unless you have a good source for them, they can be expensive.
There's a reason you don't see them so often in restaurants. Can you imagine being the guy who peels 20 lbs of jerusalem artichokes? It took me 45 minutes to do 2 lbs, for a soup that serves 9 or 10. That's about 7 hours of peeling artichokes to make a restaurant-sized pot of soup…that poor, poor prep cook. Potatoes can be done a whole lot faster, and don't cost as much. So if you're going to substitute something for potato, you substitute celeriac (also easy to peel), or parsnip. But for now, soup!
1 tbsp olive oil
2 onions, chopped
1 clove garlic, diced
2 lbs Jerusalem Artichokes, peeled and sliced (scrub to knock off big pieces of dirt, but do peel them. All of them. Be patient.)
4 cups vegetable stock or water (You can actually get away with using just water in this recipe. Stock is better, but the flavour of the artichokes is strong enough on its own as long as you add enough of the other ingredients, especially lemon juice and garlic)
a pinch of Saffron threads, crushed (I forgot to crush them…that might have helped a little, especially if I'd been brave enough to use less stock and more water)
salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp lemon juice
3 tbsp almonds
3 tbsp water
1/4 cup blanched, sliced almonds
1/4 cup water
Directions: After you peel the artichokes this is so simple. Sauté the garlic and onions for 5 minutes or so in the olive oil over medium-high heat (they shouldn't brown, so if they start to brown add water. This is what Bonnie says, not just me being finicky about not using too much olive oil).
Add the sliced and peeled artichokes, and cook for 3 minutes before adding the broth to cover. The broth amount is an estimate. All the artichokes should be covered by about 1/2-inch to 1-inch of broth, depending on how thick you like your soup. You can always add more water after the puréeing stage, or you can boil some extra liquid off. You'll be fine. Don't worry.
Bring the stock to a boil and add the spices (salt and pepper to taste. The salt amount will depend on the broth you used, so don't just throw in a bunch without tasting it first).
Reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the jerusalem artichokes are tender. This will depend on the size of your slices. They need to purée smoothly.
Purée the soup in batches, or with a hand blender and return it to the pot. If the soup is too watery, now's the chance to boil off some liquid. You don't want to boil it again after you've added the lemon juice. It's also the time to add more broth or water if the soup is too thick.
Add the tablespoon of lemon juice and taste to see if you need to add more. I needed more. Almost 2 1/2 tbsp, actually! You definitely don't want to go overboard with the lemon, though, and it's hard to get rid of the flavour if you've added too much, so be careful and test it after each small addition (maybe a teaspoon at a time).
Now the cool part: Blend the blanched, sliced almonds and water (no need to clean the blender before this step). Then pour the mixture into the soup. In raw food this is pretty standard (making cream out of nuts, though it's probably done with a very different process). The natural nutty flavour of the jerusalem artichokes matches well with the almonds, and the nuts make this a much more satisfying, filling soup. A meal soup, instead of a snack of diluted, seasoned Jerusalem Artichokes.
For an elaborate presentation, serve the soup into bowls before you add the almond cream, and drizzle it on the soup like a crème fraiche, to give a marble swirl. Completely dairy-free!

At the dawn of the 21st century, British society is still shaped by a private education system devised to gentrify the Victorian middle classes and produce gentlemen to run the Empire. Yet it is not on the political agenda. It is rarely the subject of public debate, and we remain blind to its psychological implications. Can we afford to go on ignoring this issue? Will we continue to sacrifice the welfare of our children to satisfy our antiquated social aspirations?
Why do the British still send their children away to boarding school? What are the attitudes underpinning this practice which mystifies foreigners? What does it mean for a child to be sent away from home and immediately have to survive in an unfamiliar custom-ridden world, without love, family life, or privacy? Will it be "the making of him", or will it be a trauma from which he may never recover?
No theory of child development supports the British habit of boarding. Unsurprisingly, it consequently turns out products marked by their ability to function confidently in outer social contexts, as well as their extreme fear of intimacy - in fact, any circumstance that would excite the vulnerability that had to be disowned in childhood along with their parental attachments. Ex-boarders therefore find family life, intimate relationships quite a challenge. Equally, those ex-boarders in positions of power struggle to comprehend those who are economically vulnerable and have a pathological fear of belonging.
This groundbreaking and widely acclaimed book outlines the history of the boarding project and explains "Boarding School Syndrome" and the building of the "Strategic Survival Personality". It is as useful for survivors of the system as for parents, partners, therapists, and educators, and ought to be required for legislators and those interested in the particular character of British society.

Hall's Rule of Social Order #59
Do not unfriend people on facebook. It's true, and if you haven't had it verified for you yet, just give it time.
- You're either going to run into that person in real life and it's going to be awkward for at least one of you
- They're going to realize and do or say something negative towards you without you knowing
- There will be a social obstacle, from your side or their side, that would have been avoided if you had just left them as your friend.
Sure, there are ways to avoid getting to the point of unfriending people. One is just not to accept friend requests in the first place. Let them sit in approval limbo forever. Second is just to block them from your feed or viewing your feed.1,147 views

6 Ways To Avoid Work-Family Burnout
- Focus on being present, wherever you are. Entrepreneurs always have a lot going on. We'll appear distracted at best, disrespectful at worst. Give people your full attention everywhere you go by setting appointments for meetings and phone calls when you know you won't be disturbed and taking care of anything pressing beforehand. Be present with your loved ones, too. Do not take calls once you pick up the kids from school, while you're out at the ball field or during dinner.
- Use the "5 before 11 a.m." principle. I learned this great technique from the book The 7 Minute Solution by Allyson Lewis. Simply make a list of five essential things that need doing each day, and focus on getting them all done by 11 a.m. Make your list the day before, so you can begin tackling the list immediately each morning. Continue reading all tips on The Huffington Post
What did you think of these 6 ways to avoid work-family burnout? Please share your thoughts below. It's too easy as an entrepreneur to allow your business to take over your life and you can find yourself neglecting your family and loved ones – who are of course much more important than any amount of money.

Doing daily positive affirmations is a powerful way to improve your health and life for the better. All of our experiences in life both positive and negative are created by our thoughts, feelings, and actions. Whatever you focus on expands so if you dwell on negative thoughts about your health and life, you will only attract more of the same.
Affirmations are positive statements that you repeat often with the intention of improving your life. Doing affirmations will help you change negative beliefs that you have about your life and health. Unlocking the power of positive thinking using affirmations will result in a transformation of your actions, habits, attitude, emotions, and ultimately your life.
In 2007 I started having health issues related to poor eating habits, working too much, and high levels of stress in my life. I started feeling really bad and suffering with acid reflux, indigestion, weight gain, eczema, anxiety, skin breakouts, and sleepless nights. I knew I couldn't go on living like this because I was unhappy and miserable.
I knew I didn't want to take prescription medications to mask the symptoms and not deal with what caused the health issues in the first place so I started researching how to heal my body holistically. I found out about doing daily affirmations to support my healing and to help me start making positive changes in my life.
Doing these 10 healing affirmations for vibrant health and wellness along daily meditation and visualizing the life I wanted to experience completely changed my life for the better. The daily affirmations and meditation gave me the strength and resolve I needed to take action and make positive choices in my life which helped me to heal my mind and body.
I wanted to share the positive affirmations that I personally wrote for my own healing in the hopes that they will help you to experience vibrant health and wellness in your life. Try to take at least 5-10 minutes out of your day, several times a day to repeat these affirmations and watch what unfolds in your life! Make sure you are in a relaxed state when you do these healing affirmations so that you can focus your full attention on them.
10 Healing Affirmations
- I nourish myself with healing foods every day that satisfy and totally heal my mind and body.
- I deserve and accept vibrant health and wellness into my life right now.
- I love myself completely and take excellent care of my mind and body.
- I am totally safe and surrounded by love, light, peace, and joy.
- I am completely relaxed and my mind and body is peaceful and calm. All is wonderful in my life.
- I let go of all that I no longer need. My body is healing quickly and easily.
- My past is done and I release it. I live in the present with happiness, love, and joy.
- I live my life with radiant good health totally knowing that all is well and I feel fantastic.
- I rest peacefully every night knowing that my body is healing and rejuvenating while I sleep.

Vegas PBS' 'Keeping Kids Fit' Program to Host 4th Annual 5K Run & 1 Mile Walk Featuring Daniel Tiger
Posted by
(Las Vegas) – Vegas PBS will host its fourth annual 5K Run & 1 Mile Walk to benefit Keeping Kids Fit, an educational outreach program targeting childhood obesity. The event will kick-off at 9 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 16, at the Vegas PBS building, 3050 E. Flamingo Road.
PBS' new star Daniel Tiger from Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood will be on hand at the event to welcome the children and for photo ops. Highlights include fitness games and prizes, a social media booth, a high energy DJ spinning Top 40 favorites, health information booths, healthy refreshments, and 5K race awards.
While the fight against childhood obesity is beginning to show improvement across the country, it still remains a critical issue here at home. According to a recent study released by The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, the obesity rate among low-income preschoolers declined by small but statistically significant amounts in 19 states and U.S. Territories between 2008 and 2011 – unfortunately Nevada was not among the states showing improvement.
"Heading into our fourth year, we are looking to make this race our biggest yet," said event organizer and Vegas PBS Ready To Learn Coordinator Jessica Carroll. "There is still much work that needs to be done here in Nevada to tackle the childhood obesity rate and push the message that physical fitness and healthy eating is a family affair."
Registration fees are $25 per person until Nov. 8, and $35 from Nov. 9 thru Nov. 14. Race day and packet pick-up day admission fees will be $40. Interested participants can register online and get more information at www.VegasPBS.org/KKF5K, call Vegas PBS at 702.799.1010, sign up in person at the Vegas PBS building, or go to the event's Facebook Page at www.Facebook.com/VegasPBS. Packets may be picked up on Friday, Nov. 15 from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Vegas PBS.
One hundred percent of the proceeds from the 5K Run & 1 Mile Walk will benefit Vegas PBS Keeping Kids Fit, a long-term program that addresses childhood obesity. To date, more than 65,000 children, parents, caregivers and teachers have participated in more than 652 exercise and nutrition workshops hosted by Vegas PBS. The website to date has generated more than 57,000 views.
Sponsors for the fourth annual Vegas PBS 5K Run & 1 Mile Walk include, Wells Fargo, Dr. Joe and Joan Lapan, Odyssey Charter Schools, and HealthCare Partners. Sponsorships are still available, please contact Allison Loftus at 702-799-1010 ext. 5347 or firstname.lastname@example.com for more information. Partners for the event include the Las Vegas Running Team, who will provide race management, Fred Rogers Company and Active.com.

How Am I?
the power of self-assessment
I have a password protected page that has been available to folks I connect with as an herbalist to use as preparation for our session together (sort of like and intake form but very different). Lots of folks reported it as being helpful for a variety of reasons and I definitely believe that knowledge is power and that all information is good information. Taking some time with a structured/guided approach to exploring what's currently happening for you in different areas of life that dramatically impact health can be a really valuable act of self-care. You get to cme into relationship with each question, deciding if it is of value to answer, if the answer tells you something that is useful, if you have any places you are stuck or not wanting to examine <-- all of that is good info because it is YOUR info. Your truths. So, I thought I would make this available to anyone who thought it would be useful, not just folks who have the space/time/resources/need for a crazy herbalist. ;) I like to do this assessment every other full moon. For me, anymore than that and I really don't pay as much attention, but seeing and monitoring shifts every other month has been really helpful to gently call attention to things I want to shift or need support around. Especially because sometimes us herbalists are the worst at taking our own advice, LOL! xoxoxo
