Monthly problem?
There are basically 5 types of vata's as per ayurveda.All 5 have different functions in different parts of the body.Thus when there are maintained in a state of equlibrium the body will function properly.But when this balance is lost not only the vata but also the pitta and khapa it leads to ill health or other problems in the body.
In this condition apaana vayu is effected.This has the role in lower half of the body basically.Expulsion of the wastes is done by apana vayu.Not only this even delivery of a baby all other important functions are cariied away by this variety of vata.Here urdvagathi of vayu takes place leading to pain in the groin region and also uneasiness in the lower abdomen region.So main intention of our treatment is towards correction of apana vayu.
1.Just before the menstruation starts i.e about 1 week before, one can take chandra prabha vati that is twice daily,With a cup of warm milk
2.Befor 10 days start taking ashokaristam once- 3 tsp with equal amount of water before sleeping.This will act as a uterine tonic.
3.During the time of mensus pain -Take about 1 inch piece of jaggery with warm water,twice a day.This will give instant energy to bear the pain and also has the medicinal value
4.Take about a pinch of hing in a pan, add2 drops of ghee in it and slightly roast it for 1 min under low heat.Then take a well riped banana and slight into half, place this hing in the middle and as the patient to eat it in empty stomach,followed buy a cup of warm water.
5.There is a plant that is called as ishwari moola (Sanskrit). Its very bitter in taste.One must grate it in raw milk as we do with the chandan The paste of this root of about 1 tsp is given to the patient in empty stomach early morning .This also helps the patient.
6.Taking 2 tsp of pudina ie mint puree also helps to reduce the pain as well as blotting senstion .

Hi jayakarthik.Thanks for visiting my blog.Well the jaggery wont increase the flow.Here i have asked to take about a inch or two of jaggery.Its a rich source of iron,calcium and has a cooling effect.Its an instant source of energy as it has the simple level of glucose which the body can absorb directly and give instant energy.

Hello Soumya, hi!
I am glad that I visited this blog through AR blog and then through your HS blog... This is my 1st comment on either of them...
The 1st thing that appeals to me a lot in this blog is it's background slight picture and it's colours... They are cool, I mean very soothing... It looks deep... Whether you chose it coz of the same reason or not, you have to let me know...
2nd thing is content.. They are informative too...
Glad that you have a blogspot....
However there is 1 thing annoying for me... This is not just for your blog or any other, it is something related to all written material for me... I just dislike spelling mistakes, hate grammatical mistakes, missed punctuations... It actually takes me away from the reading material.. Be it newspapers, text books, story books/novels, e-article, and so on... I, but, come to a compromising point to myself consoling that if the content is good beyond all the above mentioned mistakes or sins :D (nothing offensive please, don't mind) whether knowingly or unknowingly, I forgive the writer... But to be frank, it might take away many readers away too.... There are older blogs compared to yours and some newer blogs compared to yours (sorry for comparing, but at times it is required to assure the quality you see, I am sure you understand my stand on this) but very popular.. In other words, many readers.... I am also sure that this blog is something that relaxes you and close to your heart and is for your satisfaction first and then other things, nevertheless, (I know how busy you must be, I totally understand as I also have a toddler) I feel you should take care of what I have had to mention... Proof reading is very very important... Trust me, this aspect will make your blog perfect...
I hope you take my concern in the right spirit....
It is nothing meant to be personal, or offensive, buy my words, I mean it...
I am definitely glad about the information that you have provided. I hardly have any doubts about their authenticity... I also believe in these invaluable knowledge of our ancient times...
Take care, and be you more busy with your super super naught kid :D

This post was written by Michael Kinion, one of our pastoral Residents. It originally appeared here.
Around 12:30 AM on Saturday, August 6th, I was awoken by a call from my mother telling me that my niece was sick and my sister was taking her to the emergency room to have her looked at. Just a few minutes later I received another call letting me know things had taken a turn for the worst and they were starting to do compressions on my niece. After this call I went to another room and just fell down on the rug and started praying incoherent prayers. I could not collect a thought and for sure could not verbalize a thought so I just begged God to spare my niece's life. After a short period of time, I received another call, this time from my sister.
I answered and asked what was going on but I already knew what this call meant. I dropped the phone and experienced the most sudden and intense grief I ever had. At 6 years old, my beautiful niece had passed away.
My wife and I, along with her parents who were visiting for the weekend, left around 1:30 AM to make the three and a half hour drive back to my hometown. During this drive my wife and I experienced an incredible dose of God's grace as we reflected on the incredible, blessing-filled life of my niece. When we arrived at my sister's house around 5:00 AM we expected to walk in to a devastating scene of family grieving. Luckily for us, most people were asleep or exhausted by this point so things were calm and quiet. So shortly after we arrived we laid down on the couch to get an hour and a half of sleep before waking up to the next day that would bring many questions and issues to deal with.
Now that I have set the scene for the weekend I will turn my focus to reflect on the beautiful things I saw and experienced during this terrible weekend. My hope is that one would read this and be able to find God's glory in even the most tragic of events.
1. God Provides: The morning after arriving, I was woken up by my family discussing how we were going to pay for the costs of the funeral. This obviously wasn't something that my sister and her husband were expecting, so they didn't have money set aside to take care of expense like this. But within a few hours, the large majority of the costs and most of the plans were taken care of as a result of God's provision and people's kind generosity. We saw this trend continue throughout the next couple days as all of the planning and events went smoothly and without issue. But the most significant sign of God's provision throughout this time was undoubtedly the sense of peace and comfort that God blessed our family with. It was a time full of grief and sorrow, but God made Himself known and provided comfort to a group of people in desperate need of it. Because of this, we were able to see God as the loving and comforting Father that He is and were spared from the false feeling of God being unjust for taking away someone that we loved.
2. Community is of Utter Importance: One of the best parts of the weekend was getting to see how family, friends and church family stepped in and served with love. Every minute of the day, someone was there visiting with the family or bringing food for everyone to eat. We truly got to see community in action. It made me reflect on the consistent effort of many churches to cultivate community. Sometimes cultivating community can feel forced or repetitive. But we're not gathering together in small groups to just talk about a sermon or hangout. We are gathering together to build bonds that will help one another know each other and care for them in their darkest moments. The role the community surrounding our family played during this time is of insurmountable importance and helped constantly point us to God and His glory.
3. God is Good: Throughout the entirety of this weekend, my most consistent thought was that all theological discussions and attempts to correctly understand God's word seem like they are drills preparing us for these moments. When all sense of peace seems to be lost, people are forced into the corner of bitterness OR God's glory. This is why understanding the gospel is so important. When we experience tragedy we must be able to understand the gospel so that we can cling to the cross and know that God is good and that He defeated death so that we may live. A firm comprehension of the gospel also allows us to understand that God is holy and that His perfect will, will be done. Humans have a tendency to try and put themselves at the center of all things (especially during times of tragedy) but a solid understanding of the gospel helps us to step back and take a look at the big picture and realize that God is in control and we are here to see Him glorified, even if that means our ideas of what is good are stomped into the ground. When we process these realities, we are able to find rest in God's comfort and celebrate a believer being delivered to glory.
This weekend was beyond question one of the most terrible weekends of my life up to this point. But God used a terrible event to show us his beauty, grace and glory. He took a broken situation and used it to remind us that He is beautiful and that He is faithful to us even when it does not look the way we want it to. I will forever mourn the loss of my beautiful niece, but will always be able to look back at this weekend and remember how God was faithful to me and my family.

I love your DS9 space station! It is truly a masterpiece work of art! It's really sad that Lego never got a license from Paramount to market Star Trek ship's, shuttle craft's, and space station's. Anyway I was wondering could you send me schematics on building my own DS9 space station the way you did your's? I have 3 Lego dream creations I would like to one day build and they are #1 DS9, #2 The Shuttle Craft's from Star Trek Voyager, and #3 The Castle Of Lions from Voltron Defender of the Universe. I also was wondering did you special order the part's from Lego or did you have to buy a bunch of different Lego sets in order to get the parts you needed for your model? Please contact me when you have the time. Thank you Jaco.
Hi E.J. Craig, Sorry for this late reaction, but you didn't provide your E-mail address. Thanks for your comment. I am currently working on full building instructions for DS9, which will be featured on my website www.binarybricks.nl. The parts used are mainly from my own collection, but I ordered a bunch at Bricklink in various stores. You see, I created the station digitally using LDraw and build it for real later.

LAS CRUCES (KRQE) – It turns out there was no foul play in the death of a man found burning on the NMSU campus earlier this year.
Investigators said 55-year-old Richard Livsay died of natural causes.
His body was found in January burning in a drainage culvert underneath Interstate 25 on the edge of campus.
Arson investigators determined that the fire started accidentally from a candle.
Police say Livsay was homeless.

Some people, including children, are highly allergic to peanuts and other foods. Some critics of GM foods feel the possibility exists that those genetically modifying food crops may unintentionally introduce a new allergen. Given that genes can be introduced from unrelated species -- for example, a fish gene can be put into a plant -- some critics argue that the possibilities of allergies might be greater than with traditionally bred crops.
Another potential hazard to human health is the possibility that bacteria in our guts could pick up antibiotic-resistance genes found in many GM foodstuffs. (Food geneticists often add such genes to GM plants as 'markers' to tell them which plants have taken up exotic genes.) If this transfer happens, in principle it could exacerbate the already worrisome spread of disease-causing bacteria that have proven able to withstand our antibiotics.
"Today the vast majority of foods in supermarkets contain genetically modified substances whose effects on our health are unknown. As a medical doctor, I can assure you that no one in the medical profession would attempt to perform experiments on human subjects without their consent. Such conduct is illegal and unethical. Yet manufacturers of genetically altered foods are exposing us to one of the largest uncontrolled experiments in modern history."
--Dr. Martha R. Herbert, pediatric neurologist [1]
"With genetic engineering, familiar foods could become metabolically dangerous or even toxic. Even if the transgene itself is not dangerous or toxic, it could upset complex biochemical networks and create new bioactive compounds or change the concentrations of those normally present. In addition, the properties in proteins may change in a new chemical environment because they may fold in new ways. Further, the potential toxic or carcinogenic effects could have
substantial latency periods."
--from The Need for Greater Regulation and Control of Genetic Engineering: A Statement by Scientists Concerned About Trends in the New Biotechnology [2]
"Lots and lots of people -- virtually the entire population -- could be exposed to genetically engineered foods, and yet we have only a handful of studies in the peer-reviewed literature addressing their safety. The question is, do we assume the technology is safe based on an argument that it's just a minor extension of traditional breeding, or do we prove it? The scientist in me wants to prove it's safe."

Panty Hose.I'm a married man and Ive been wearing sheer energy pantyhose for many years.And i intend to fore many more years
bushdiver 56-60 1 Response 1 Nov 21, 2010
have you ever had any issues with the waistband of those pantyhose rolling down?

while i've always preferred to wear nylon stockings with a garterbelt. there are times when it's been necessary to wear those pantyhose things instead. like when i wear a mini-skirt or short shorts. but, it seems like, when i agreed with my wife that it was best to discontinue hrt, for the sake of the kids. i found that the pantyhose started rolling down from my waist, at about the sametime my feminine hips started to diminish. yet, my garterbelts remained in their same feminine high waisted position.

just wondering.

This is weird. When Jay Z acquired Tidal for $56 million and gave out pieces of ownership to his celebrity friends, Jay made a big deal about the music-streaming service being different because it was by artists and for artists. No longer would musicians get ripped off on royalties, Jay said, tweeting last year, "Tidal pays 75 percent royalty rate to ALL artists, writers and producers." All lies, claims a new lawsuit.
The frequently-sued mogul and Tidal are facing a $5 million class-action lawsuit from a musician and publishing company that alleges Jay illegally put their songs up on the celebrity-endorsed streaming service, and then paid $0.00 in royalties.
According to court documents, Yesh Music, LLC and The American Dollar band member John Emanuele claim Tidal streamed 116 of The American Dollar's copyrighted tracks, all while knowing they were in the wrong. The lawsuit makes mention of Jay purchasing Tidal in 2015 and his claims that they would be paying artists their fair cut of royalties. Per the complaint:
Defendants created its now 25 million track library by dumping all of the music from independent artists into the Tidal Music Service without serving NOIs. Independent artists are predominantly impacted by Defendants' systematic infringement.
Yesh Music and Emanuele also accuse Tidal of doing funny math to underpay some artists.
Defendants deliberately miscalculating the per-stream royalty rates by including millions of streams Defendants do not pay royalties in the calculation. This diluted the paid per-stream rate for royalty payments by up to 35 percent.
And just like Tidal doesn't reveal stats to the public, they allegedly don't reveal stats to artists, either. The lawsuit says Jay and Tidal "failed to serve monthly reports which detail the usage of every song and calculation of royalties."
This all could've went away had Tidal responded to Yesh and Emanuele's complaints when they reached out to Jay's people in June 2015, but they were reportedly ignored. As a result, they're suing for copyright infringement and are seeking in excess of $5 million.
This lawsuit is bad business, especially with rumors that Samsung, Google and Spotify are allegedly interested in taking Tidal off Jay Z's hands. The New York Post reported that Tidal is having a cash-flow problem and are unable to pay their mounting bills.
Update: Tidal's issued a statement indicating they've paid The American Dollar everything they're owed via their the group's distributor, Tunecore. To be more specific, they contend all money owed has been paid to Harry Fox Agency, their administrator of mechanical royalties, and any issues regarding those payments should be directed to Harry Fox Agency. "They especially should not be naming S Carter Enterprises, LLC, which has nothing to do with Tidal," the statement reads. "This claim serves as nothing other than a perfect example of why America needs Tort reform."
"TIDAL is up to date on all royalties for the rights to the music stated in Yesh Music, LLC and John Emanuele's claim and they are misinformed as to who, if anyone, owes royalty payments to them. As Yesh Music, LLC admits in their claim, TIDAL has the rights to the Master Recordings through its distributor Tunecore and have paid Tunecore in full for such exploitations. Their dispute appears to be over the mechanical licenses, which we are also up to date on payments via Harry Fox Agency our administrator of mechanical royalties.
"The main compositions in question were release by The American Dollar and their entire catalogue streamed fewer than 13,000 times on TIDAL and its predecessor over the past year. We have now removed all music associated with Yesh Music, LLC and John Emanuele from the service. This is the first we have heard of this dispute and Yesh Music, LLC should be engaging Harry Fox Agency if they believe they are owed the royalties claimed. They especially should not be naming S Carter Enterprises, LLC, which has nothing to do with Tidal. This claim serves as nothing other than a perfect example of why America needs Tort reform."

Shop 'Til You Drop – Etsy for Animals
As if Etsy wasn't cool enough on its own, Etsy for Animals (EFA) makes it even better for those who want to shop and do something great for animals at the same time.
EFA is a group of awesome indie artists and crafts people on Etsy who are combining their extraordinary talents with their love of animals to do some good. EFA members donate 10 to 100 percent of their profits to an animal charity of their choosing, or to the groups featured charity of the month.
February's lucky charity of the month, for example, is the Rainbow Connection Animal Foundation. Last month, it was Animal Place Sanctuary and Education Center.
In 2008, more than $10,000 was donated to animal charities. Members also donate items from their shops to charity auctions, along with their time and resources to help out when they can.
The best ways to find these artists is to search for the term 'team efa' on Etsy. Or, if you're in the market for something specific, check out the member page on EFA's website, where everything is listed by category.
Your choices will range from art, jewelry and paper goods to vegan cosmetics and so much more you'll seriously be hard pressed to leave empty handed.
Also be sure to check out the shops on February 24th for Spay Day Specials where you can help support a wonderful cause!
You can also find info on EFA on their team page, their blog, or on their BlogTalkRadio show.
Happy shopping and supporting animals, and artists, all at once!!!

An argument that I have heard repeatedly is that there are millions of liberal secular minded muslims in the world whose voices were suppressed by brutal dictators such as Saddam Hussein. This was also an argument for military intervention even if the US invaded out of selfish motives. Yet many liberal intellectuals (eg. Christopher Hitchens) argue that the end justifies the means if the end result is a liberal secular democracy. Bulls**t!! It's been three years since the fall of Saddam and I don't think Victorias Secret will have franchises in Baghdad any time soon. My point is that that an Islamic country has been "liberated" and there are no liberal secular voices there. Islamic fundamentalists now rule the land with Sharia law. It was an absolute lie that invading Iraq will create a wellspring of liberal democracy that will spread throughout the muslim world. I would also add that many liberal intellectuals including Salman Rushdie advocate military intervention to defeat Islamofascists. Yet look at the case of Afghanistan. Of course, the Taliban are no longer in power but women still suffocate themselves in burqas. I don't see Hamid Karzai removing any of these archaic religious rulings. Furthermore, the war in Afghanistan has inflamed muslim youths in Canada to carry out terrorist acts. Where the f**k are all the Rusdies, Irshad Manjis, Ibn Warraqs and Talisma Nasreens in Afghanistan and Iraq? Where are all of these millions of so called liberal muslims whose voices have been long suppressed? In truth, they don't exist. They never have. The Rushdies are a very small minority among a sea of people who as a majority may be moderate but whom nonetheless implicitly support their radical slave masters.
It seems the intellectuals with the means to escape, do. For those still in Afganistan, they remain silent because to speak out could mean death by extremists.
I saw an interview with Salmon Rushdie with Bill Moyers last week. A moulha stated that if the fatwa against Rushdie had gone forth, the incident with the cartoon dipicting Mohammed would not have happend.
Since the fatwas was lifted, Rushdie has been speaking out against censorship and radical Islam. But he's doing that in the West, of course.

Prospects Leads The right way to Generate Them
Prospects Leads The right way to Generate Them
If you are new to the internet marketing industry, or have stalled out in your lead creating efforts, getting new prospect leads is important to keep your business blossoming.
You cannot presumably expect to pitch to everybody, if you do, you'll find you don't have many friends and folk just plain avoid you!
Online Prospect Leads
There are a number of processes that you should follow whether you're prospecting online or off.
Understand first that the ability to close a sale is related to the quality of your lead.
It is purposeless squandering your time pitching your product to individuals that are not interested in it from the very start.
May appear basic, but when new people enter the internet promotion business, their keenness appears to outweigh their commonsense!
Identifying your prospect lead comes first. Understand what "target marketing" means. Better still identify who your best target buyer or prospect is, and aim at once at them.
Some common lead prospecting techniques follow, although there are many others.
Some strategies work better for some people than others, so do what you are cushy doing, it will reflect in how you make your presentation.
Word of mouth: the best and most cost-effective way to gather prospect leads. Always follow up on any referrals from buyers swiftly and mention your customer's name.
Referrals from satisfied customers are very effective because your product is already counseled by them and when you call a referral, more than likely your new prospect has already been told about your new product and is so "pre-warmed".
Remember to treat this new prospect well, always follow up leads quickly and then get back to the referrer and thank them for the lead. If this turns out well, then there may be more referrals the perfect way to do business. Offering motivations to the referrer will always be appreciated and this may be in the form of a gift voucher or anything else acceptable.
Glaringly if the referrer keeps bringing you business you'll actually want to consider asking them if they might like to join your downline, because in effect they already are!
Prospecting Leads through Networking
Clubs and organizations are an excellent way to generate leads, and if you are not a member of any go ahead and join! This group of people will be perfect for prospecting purposes. You may also join networking groups to share leads gathered from others in related firms. For instance if you're selling software, hookup with those who sell PC hardware, just make absolutely sure it's a two-way street in this particular situation, and always thank and supply inducements for those that give you leads.
Trade shows are costly places that may take up a lot of your time, but they are glorious places to find qualified leads. Tradeshows are visited by countless thousands that might be part of your target audience, so be useful and friendly. Attraction promoting is the key in these situations, so don't just sit around watching the clock – get involved.
You will soon learn how to identify potential prospects and gather relevant info from them. Find out their business and be friendly.
Attraction marketing is a potent thing!
The Empower Network is an effortless means to get started online. This process allows you to have instant access to online advertising, and split-second access to your commissions. If you are wanting to find out how to market online, make a ton of money, and create a load of leads, then you must join the Empower Network today!

Rising euro 'is driving away Asian spenders'
Wealthy Chinese shoppers are beginning to ditch European shopping trips for Asian spending sprees.
HSBC's luxury expert Erwan Rambourg claims in his latest report, titled The Bling Dynasty, that the rise of shopping trips by wealthy Asian people to Korea, Macau, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore will increase – driven by higher priced goods in Europe and the rising euro.
He warned that luxury brands need to ensure they have a strong presence across Asia.
He said: "In 2013, a risk for luxury companies is a possible reversal of the trends seen in 2012 – Chinese consumers are now buying more at home, but less abroad."
UK-based leather brand Mulberry last month issued a profit warning and said the handbag brand could not rely on tourists to Europe alone. But Mr Rambourg claimed there is a balance between recognition and overexposure for luxury brands.
He said: "Chinese shoppers have become more sophisticated and discriminating, which means some established brands may lose market share – we call this a 'first-mover disadvantage'."

Greene County Bancorp Inc. has withdrawn its application to participate in the federal government's Troubled Assets Relief Program, the company said today in a regulatory filing.
The withdrawal "reflected the company's concerns with the potential for additional regulatory burdens associated with the (TARP) and the possibility that Congress could further change the terms of the transaction or impose additional burdens at any time."
The company, based in Catskill, said that in lieu of the federal money, it has a $5 million revolving, three-year line of credit from Atlantic Central Bankers Bank. The credit is secured by all of the outstanding shares of common stock of The Bank of Greene County, a subsidiary.

Access to airline websites and airport kiosks, and traveling with wheelchairs may become a lot easier under a new series of government consumer protections designed to ensure equal access.
A new rule will require that airline websites and automated airport kiosks be accessible to passengers with disabilities.
"Airlines and airports have not consistently made their websites and kiosks accessible to people with disabilities," the Fast Lane, the official blog of the U.S. Department of Transportation, noted last week when the new rule was announced. All covered airlines must make pages of their websites that contain core travel information and services accessible to persons with disabilities within two years of the new rule, and all of their web pages accessible within three years.
A separate, updated rule provides airlines with more flexibility in how they transport manual, folding wheelchairs onboard, allowing airlines the ability to choose between stowing wheelchairs in a cabin compartment on new aircraft or strapping them to a row of seats, making it possible to carry up to two wheelchairs in the cabin, the department said.
The new rules are part of the government's ongoing effort to ensure equal access to air transportation for all travelers and part of its continuing implementation of the Air Carrier Access Act of 1986.
"All air travelers should be treated fairly when they fly, regardless of any disabilities they may have," Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said in a statement. "These new rules build on our past work in ensuring that our air transportation system is accessible for everyone, while balancing both airlines' and passengers' need for flexibility."
In addition, under the new websites-and-kiosks rule, automated kiosks at U.S. airports for services like printing boarding passes and baggage tags must be accessible to passengers with disabilities until at least 25 percent of all kiosks at each airport location are accessible; if no new kiosks are installed, 25 percent of kiosks at each airport location must be accessible within 10 years, the department said.
Also under the new rule, ticket agents will be required to disclose and offer web-based discount fares to customers unable to use their sites due to a disability starting within 180 days after the rule's effective date. Airlines, the department noted, are already required to provide equivalent service for consumers who are unable to use inaccessible websites and must also offer equivalent service to passengers with disabilities who are unable to use their websites even if the websites meet the official accessibility standards.
Learn more and comment on the new rule on accessible websites and kiosks, and the final rule on wheelchairs.

TWO dolphins died a slow, agonising death during a weekend-long rave at a
Swiss zoo – after party-goers fed them a heroin substitute.
Blood tests showed the underwater mammals, Shadow and Chelmers, had been given
recreational drug Buprenorphine by clubbers during the controversial event.
The tablets suppressed the dolphins' natural instinct to come to the surface
for air, causing them to drown.
It was originally believed the deafening techno music at the two-day dance
event, held yards from the dolphins' pool at Connyland marine park in
Lipperswil, Switzerland, had caused their deaths last November.
But toxicology tests revealed they had been fed the drug, which is used to
wean addicts off heroin.
Dutch marine biologist and dolphin expert Cornelis van Elk said: "Opiates are
extremely dangerous for underwater mammals and would never be used in any
legitimate treatment.
"The reason is that dolphins are conscious breathers, which means they
actively decide when to come to the surface to breathe.
"Even when sleeping, there is part of the brain that automatically controls
the breathing instinct in the same way as it does for people when asleep.
"Drugging them with opiates causes this part of the brain to switch off, with
fatal consequences."
Shadow and Chelmers were found after what experts described as a "drawn out
and painful" death.
Connyland zookeeper Nadja Gasser said Shadow was found dead after the rave –
and his companion soon started exhibiting strange behaviour.
She said: "When we went to start the dolphin training we noticed the same
thing that had happened to Shadow was happening with Chelmers.
"He was drifting under the water and was clearly in trouble and so we jumped
into the water. We tried to hold him. He was shaking all over and was
foaming at the mouth.
"Eventually we got him out of the water. His tongue was hanging out. He could
hardly breathe. He was given adrenalin, but it didn't help.
"The death went on for over an hour. It was horrendous. I have not been able
to sleep since."
Furious animal activists say they warned both the marine park and local
planners who gave permission for the rave of the dangers before the event.
They had been concerned that the high levels of noise could damage the marine
mammals' sensitive sonar and hearing and harm their delicate immune system.
Connyland has consistently denied any wrongdoing.

In the rise and fall of nations and of people, one fact stands pre-eminent: Those who can look beyond self to search out what will help and benefit those around them are those whose service to humanity will never be forgotten.
The other day, I went to get something from my car, and once again, a neighborhood bird had left his calling card. His droppings streaked down the passenger door just below the side-view mirror. Annoyed, I decided to move the car. But as I got to the driver's entry door, I was met with the same mess under that side-view mirror as well.
A friend explained to me it was a bluebird he'd seen in the yard. Bluebirds are very territorial, he said, and when they spy a car mirror they zoom in on the "alien" bird they see there, fighting tirelessly with the "enemy" in that mirror who has invaded their turf.
Hmmm. Sounds familiar.
Never has a political season been so full of bluebirds. A whole flock of candidates have preened themselves before the American people, zoomed in to wage war against a half a dozen other guys whose self-centeredness is so strikingly similar to their own it's like looking in a mirror, and pooped all over the American people as they flew away.
Our response to this circus sideshow is the real question of the hour. Will the American people go to the polls and actually vote for the "default" candidate who has managed to come out of this "bluebird fight" with the smallest amount of droppings trailing behind him?
It is beyond belief that a serious political party would put the entire country through a spectacle that the most outrageous reality show producer couldn't dream up on his best day, and expect the country to actually vote for the least humiliating candidate among a cast of buffoons.
Unless that isn't the plan at all. Surely the Republican Party is not seriously planning to put forth a man who is their choice to run the country because they couldn't get anyone with more curb appeal to step up to the plate and keep his act together long enough to make it through the elections. What else could a "not Romney" candidate mean?
Or will we get to the convention and have a surprise candidate all groomed to go and waiting in the wings? Someone whose record looks OK at first, but whom the people really don't have time to investigate? Wait a minute, that's history, isn't it? Didn't we just go through that scenario last time with Sarah Palin?
We are now living in perhaps the most dangerous time in the history of our nation. It is not wars alone that make a season in history perilous. The whole symphony of events must be heard as they play their parts beside each other, all in concert together, before the true melody can be understood and appreciated for all that it is.
Nations stand beside each other now, all jockeying for their place in the sun. Leaders of one country after another push themselves forward, grasping for the good of their people in the best countries, and for the good of themselves and a privileged elite in the worst. Many are in the fight for nothing more noble than drilling rights to the richest oil fields in the world. If their people die in the fray, oh well.
We are still reeling from corporate greed gone global. The economies of the world are dancing on the edge of a precarious line underwritten by the most flagrant greed. Religious zealots threaten to annihilate their perceived enemies, and announce those intentions to a world that refuses to take their warnings seriously. Natural disasters punctuate the headlines of every news service in the world.
All of these things have happened before. They are nothing new. But there is one entirely new development that we have not sufficiently taken into account: For the first time in the history of humanity, we are now connected to each other through a technology sophisticated enough to tell it all to everyone on Earth exactly as it is.
There is no hiding anymore. The "haves" and the "have nots," the noble and the base, the greedy and the giving, the nations who long for help and the nations who can give that help, are all lined up at their computers, staring at what each other is doing.
In a world so breath-stoppingly close to atomic triggers, the things we can least afford to coddle or ignore are disillusionment, envy, greed, corruption, hate-filled zeal and the disintegration of hope.
Shall we, the people of the United States of America — the nation that demonstrated that a government that serves the best interests of the people, can light the rest of the world — now, at this most critical moment of history, choose a leader who is the back-door booby prize because no better candidate could be found?
It would be better for our nation to be bombed out of existence fighting for a noble cause than to be dragged off the stage of history by a sordid cast of self-serving bluebirds who care so much for their own name they don't even see the trail of droppings they are leaving behind.
Will we choose a bluebird to lead our nation?
In the rise and fall of nations and of people, one fact stands pre-eminent: Those who can look beyond self to search out what will help and benefit those around them are those whose service to humanity will never be forgotten.

I recently revisited my fitness strategy and part of that included a re-evaluation of my current shape. In order to do this you have to 'get real', be brutally honest with yourself and take nearly naked photos. You'll next want to look long and hard at those pictures, defining your trouble spots and make a date to begin training or altering your diet. Or both.
You'll need to think long and hard about the possible choices you have to reach your new goals. Decisions on your fitness and health, the food you eat, how much you'll need to exercise, and your perception of your finished weight and body shape goal.
So many people will just diet and hope that does the trick to slim down and change a body's shape. Unless you are under the age of 25, just changing your diet won't work. You need to include exercise in your strategy. Without exercise your body accumulates more and more fat cells. Besides making you uncomfortable about the way you look, that extra fat has many health risks as well. Just 10 pounds extra on your body increases your risk of developing much more serious medical conditions, such as diabetes, cancers and a propensity to heart attacks.
It's easy to increase your daily exercise and this site is full of great ideas but I'm sure you can come up with your own. Ideally you should start with a slow 20 minute walk every day, consistently, and then look for other small ways throughout the day to move your muscles. Take the stairs, park at the far end of the parking lot, walk on a treadmill while watching your favorite shows at night. Increase your exercise once you feel yourself getting stronger by jogging, taking a cardio class, or join a gym.
If you're still not seeing enough progress you'll want to clean up your diet. Not by counting calories or following some fad diet plan, but by limiting portions, eating more regularly to increase your metabolism, and getting off the processed foods completely. Be conscious of every single bite you put in your mouth. Avoid fast foods as though they were poisonous – they are!

New York State Bill S1379/A2736 would stop police and prosecutors from using possession of condoms as evidence of prostitution. Currently, police and prosecutors can use the fact that a person has or is carrying condoms to prove that they are engaging in prostitution-related offenses.People who are or are profiled as involved in the sex trades report that they are more likely to be arrested if they carry condoms. Police officers regularly confiscate condoms from people they allege are engaged in prostitution to justify arrests or to use as evidence against them at trial. District Attorneys routinely refer to the number of condoms a person had on them in criminal court complaints accusing them of engaging in prostitution-related offenses such as "loitering for the purposes of prostitution" (NYPL 240.37)
As a result people are hesitant to carry condoms to protect themselves and others, for fear that it will lead to arrest or be held against them in court. Sound public health policy would encourage condom use by eliminating the fear that carrying a condom will be used against you or anyone else by police or in a court of law.

Gte Goes From Bait To Bidder
For months, GTE Corp. was rumored to be takeover bait. The most persistent speculation was that long-distance leader AT&T would buy the company to jumpstart its push into the $100 billion local telephone business. GTE Chief Executive Charles R. Lee never confirmed the rumors--or denied them. "I'll continue to explore other business arrangements to the extent that they make sense for helping our shareholders," Lee told BUSINESS WEEK in July.
Turns out, Lee had a different kind of business arrangement in mind. Instead of being the hunted, Lee wants to be the hunter. On Oct. 15, GTE made a surprise $28 billion, cash offer for MCI Communications Corp., the No.2 long-distance company in the U.S. The bid came two weeks after telecom upstart WorldCom Inc. offered $30 billion in stock--all but disconnecting a prior deal in which British Telecommunications PLC had agreed to buy the 80% of MCI it doesn't already own for about $20 billion. WorldCom reacted to the GTE bid by saying its offer is still the most valuable. In a statement, MCI said it would review the third bid "in the context of the company's strategic merger agreement with BT."
"BOLD MOVE." Now, instead of facing early retirement as the phone business consolidates, the 57-year-old Lee hopes to end his career as head of a newly created $40 billion telecom giant. "This is a very bold move for him, and it clearly moves GTE up into the set of first-tier players--if he can complete the deal," says Eric J. Riddleberger, a telecom consultant at Booz, Allen & Hamilton Inc.
Who will walk away with MCI? Bankers say GTE's bid could be the most appealing. Even though it's 7% less than WorldCom's offer, shareholders may prefer cash to WorldCom stock, which could lose ground in the year or more it would take to close the deal. WorldCom could increase the value of its stock offer but is unlikely to attempt a significant cash bid. "WorldCom's going to have to do a heck of a sales pitch," says Bruce E. Behrens, co-manager of Flag Investors Telephone Income Fund, which holds stock in all three companies. BT, meanwhile, is unlikely to up its offer, having cut its bid by 20% last summer to appease shareholders.
In fact, BT may welcome the GTE bid. Sources close to BT say that the British concern encouraged GTE, which had discussed a merger with MCI prior to the BT bid, to try again. One reason: BT wants to keep its marketing alliance with MCI alive, and the chance of doing that under WorldCom looked dicey. Says one industry analyst of the GTE bid: "This has to make BT happy."
GTE and MCI also have a lot to offer each other strategically. MCI has been spending heavily to launch a local phone business. This year alone, the unit is expected to run an $800 million loss. For GTE, MCI provides an excellent entree into long distance. GTE has been forging into that territory on its own, signing up some 1.5 million customers. But analysts say the effort has been slow and costly. "A lot of planets line up here," says Riddleberger.
Still, there are potential problems. Analysts estimate that the $28 billion bid will dilute earnings about 20% in 1998. And even after a merger with GTE, MCI might still have to plow money into local connections to serve its urban business customers since GTE operates mostly in rural and suburban areas.
WorldCom's CEO Bernard J. Ebbers is unlikely to walk away from MCI. He may not be able to to match the cash offer, but he can demonstrate more potential for post-merger savings. WorldCom, for example, already has local connections in many major cities. Ebbers estimates that a combined company can save $5 billion annually by 2002. "A WorldCom-MCI deal makes the most sense strategically," says Scott Cleland, an analyst with Legg Mason Wood Walker Inc. But in the end, Lee's cash may bag the trophy.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A first-time farmer in South Knox County, Jonathan Buchanan sells what he can at farmer's markets downtown and on the University of Tennessee campus.
What he doesn't sell, he donates to a new initiative kick-started by two UT Institute of Agriculture staffers called "Give More, Grow More."
The program, dreamed up by human resources administrator Amy Caponetti, was initially meant to glean the extra fruits and vegetables grown by backyard gardeners and donate them to local charities. The initiative since has grown to include vendors at the university's Wednesday farmer's market at the UT Gardens and patrons who purchase extra produce for the cause.
Caponetti says a grant is being proposed that would allow the university to expand the campaign into the community and to other UT campuses and extension offices across the state.

Read More…
Hello. I am David Galler. I am the founder of the marriage agency, No Borders for Love, and the owner of a private law firm in Atlanta, Georgia.
After 2 decades of marriage, I found myself thrust into the dating world as a newly single middle aged man. Being single after 20 years is no easy feat. It was overwhelming and I had a difficult time finding what I was looking for. I decided to put love on hold and take a break from work and do some travelling. My travels led me to a beautiful city called Odessa in Ukraine. It was here that I found what I was looking for. Anna and I have been dating now for over a year and are looking to be married in the near future. It is my wish to help any man that may not be seeking a traditional relationship according to today's standards, meet their match.
After spending quite some time researching foreign dating agencies, I came across a lot of unethical people who aim to take advantage of men who are searching for their soul mate abroad. Going to another country to find the woman of your dreams is intimidating enough without having others trying to take advantage of you. My mission is to help men find "the one" so I have aligned myself with brick and mortar agencies in Odessa and have traveled extensively to Ukraine to find the best people to work with. I have streamlined this process so no borders clients can relax and know that their trip is completely planned with a personal guide accompanying you on your trip. I can't wait to work with you and find your perfect match!

safety – is our top priority

Fishing Gear and Risks to Protected Species
Shrimp Trawler
Credit: NOAA
Fishermen use many different types of fishing gear and catch a wide variety of species. Usually, fishermen use certain types of fishing gear to target specific species. However, these different fishing methods can accidentally capture or injure other non-target species, called "bycatch."
How can we reduce bycatch?
We work with the fishing industry and our other partners to develop regulations and fishing gear modifications to reduce bycatch of sea turtles, marine mammals, sea birds, and non-target fish.
This collaborative work is conducted through gear research in our Bycatch Reduction Engineering Program and stakeholder-based processes such as our Marine Mammal Take Reduction Program, which helps reduce incidental serious injury or mortality of marine mammals from commercial fishing
Our ability to reduce bycatch depends on data collected by our National Observer Program. Fisheries observers track where, when, and how many protected species become hooked or entangled in fishing gear. Once bycatch reduction measures are implemented, observers also help to monitor their success.
What different gear types do fishermen use?
Gear types are listed below by broad category. They are not intended to be specific to regional fishing practices. Click each gear type for more information on how it works, where it is used, and the associated risks to protected species.

- Bottom Trawls

Lady Leader Problems- Wardrobe Edition
A couple weeks ago I was officiating a wedding. It was blast! But it was such a conundrum figuring out what to wear. And in talking with other women preachers there are a series of wardrobe issues that men don't have to think about, but are a part of every women's speaking experience. So here are a series of issues that women preachers must consider.
The Preaching Bra– Though I am ardently committed to spreading the word on the importance of a well fitting bra, this is not about that. This is about the fact that no woman preacher wants to "smuggle grapes" when she is preaching. This is my friend Ana's way of describing nipples showing through a shirt. There are already so many gender issues to consider when preaching and in Christian circles anything that reminds people that you have breasts is a crime. Nipple shadow while preaching is to the Christian context what Janet Jackson's infamous Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction was to secular world. So step one is making sure you are wearing a hefty bra that will not let anything peak through.
Women who have recently smuggled grapes.
No dude is pondering nipple issues when picking his preaching outfit. Because there are essentially two things that men preach in. ( I'm not going to get into different cultural takes on this issue in this post.)
Casual Preacher Guy and Formal Preacher Guy
I'm amusing myself by using Mark Driscoll and Joel Olsteen as my examples.
Next up- Pants suit or dress? This is for more traditional preaching context such as churches and conferences. I don't feel this ponderous when preaching at the average InterVarsity Large Group meeting.
Pants suit. The problem with this is that it's easy to look a bit maculine. And looking butch is almost as great a crime as nipple shadow in traditional contexts. You want to be authoritative, but not masculine. Feminine, but not girly. Dressing for preaching requires threading a LOT of needles. And especially as a younger woman, a pants suit can feel like being David in Saul's armor. ( Love how I just made an OT reference in the midst of a post on lady fashion.) Plus I'm scarred by how much flack Hillary got for all her pants suits. But pants with a blouse can be an option.
The skirt suit is also a possibility. But that makes me feel way over 40 and like a Republican candidates wife. And I'm not rich, I'm in ministry, so I don't have a budget for a beautifully tailored outfit.
And you want to be age appropriate. Not too old and not too young.
Sorry Joyce Meyer- you went too casual and too young.
So lets say you pick a dress. But when wearing a dress there are a variety of factors. It can't be too frilly or dressy- it needs to be professional. How short is too short? Will you be on a raised stage? Will people in the front row be able to see up your dress? Should you wear panty hose? Is this pump too dressy, too flashy, too "I'm superficial and into the flesh?"
And a final consideration- to show arms or not to show arms. If people can be scandalized by Michelle Obama showing arms, you know people in the church can too. I felt like it was important to cover my shoulders when officiating ( no gripe there, I'm down with dressing conservatively for that context.) But finding a dress that covers your arms and doesn't make you look like a nun is… difficult.
Now of course a skirt and blouse are also an option and it's a good option for the following reason.
Mysoginistic microphones.
Lets say you have chosen a professional, conservative, but still stylish dress of some sort. You have made the decision about how much arm to show and put on your preaching bra. And then the sound guy hands you the microphone and tells you to clip the battery pack to your waist. Sorry hombre, I'm not wearing pants. I have no place to clip this thing. You gaze into each others eyes trying to make it clear that you think this is the other persons problem to solve.
If you have gone with a blouse and skirt or blouse and pants option there is always the awkward decision of where to place the microphone. If you rock anything larger than a C cup it can feel like a lapel mic is a device created to draw attention to your bosom. If you're wearing a silk blouse, the mic will flop around and there will be lots of awkward swishing noises. You will look down at the mic, and then you and the congregation will all be gazing at your bosom- a beautiful analogy for resting on the bosom of the Lord.
And even if you pick the perfect outfit. What about sitting down?
Recently I attended a conference where all the men preached- standing up. But then when two women speakers came out they brought out two comfy living room type chairs and the women sat. I have a lot of problems with this approach to speakers. Men stand and preach truth. Women sit and have little Jesus chats. But that's beside this particular point.
Lets say that you have been chosen to be on a panel. A dress that is great when you are standing becomes a suggestive, leg revealing, skank festival when you sit down.
Suddenly this
Looks like this.
Sitting on a stool is tricky. You have to cross your legs if you are wearing a skirt just to make sure that you don't pull a Britney Spears panty flash. But when you cross your legs, suddenly that tasteful dress is up on your mid thigh. HARLOT!
And if you've got any upper thigh cottage cheese issue, you will spend the rest of the time trying to tuck your thigh and ass fat back under your leg- in the name of Jesus.
There are a lot of other issues on this topic; ethnicity, jewelry, hair, shoes, and modesty. But this is my first pass. Do you have any lady leader wardrobe issues? Tell me about them!
