This one was fun, one of the times when the words started flowing and didn't stop until I was finished writing.
Following up on last week's discussion of the Negroni, I thought I'd take a bit of time and explore the world of bitter liqueurs. As I said then, "You hate Campari until that one moment when you love it, and then when you love it you never want your bottle to run dry." But how does one go about learning to love Campari and, for that matter, other bitter liqueurs?

Enforcement Notices of Alleged Violations
In January 2011, the Commission issued an Order authorizing the Secretary to issue a Staffs Preliminary Notice of Violations (Notice) at the direction of the Director of the Office of Enforcement. Each Notice identifies the entity or entities that are the subject of an investigation, the time and place of the alleged conduct, the rules, regulations, statutes or orders alleged to be violated, and a concise description of the alleged wrongful conduct.
Notices of Alleged Violations are issued after staff has presented the subject of the investigation with its preliminary findings, the subject has had the opportunity to respond in writing to staffs preliminary findings, and staff has had a full opportunity to review and analyze the subjects response.
The existence of any investigation, and the subjects of the investigation, will remain non-public throughout the investigative process. The issuance of a Notice does not confer on third parties the right to intervene or otherwise participate in an investigation.

Welcome to Mid-America Council Wood Badge!
Wood Badge is an adult training where you work with others to learn and practice leadership skills (as a member of a successful working team) and live the values of scouting.
This course will help you understand the full values-based family of Scouting programs as well as discover ways to use the leadership skills to improve your personal and professional life.
Wood Badge gives leaders the skills they need to strengthen Scouting in meaningful ways and deliver a quality program to our youth.
Skills Useful Outside of Scouting
You will be able to use these lessons and experiences from Wood Badge outside of scouting to make every team a successful team, whether the team is at your work or is your family. Inspired in England by Lord Baden-Powell at Gilwell Camp, Wood Badge is today offered around the world. Upon completion, a Scouter receives a certificate, neckerchief, woggle, and beads, and becomes a permanent member of Troop 1, Gilwell.
On the morning of September 19, 1919, Lord Robert Baden-Powell blew a Kudu horn at Gilwell Park on the edge of Epping Forest near London. Thus began the world's first Wood Badge course. Since that day, wherever Wood Badge is held, it is on Gilwell Field. Over 100,000 people have attended Wood Badge in courses held around the world. Read More History
Course Description
Our goal as leaders is to bring the values of Scouting home to youth. We do this with an exciting program, challenging activities, and real adventure. Working together with the staff and your patrol members at Wood Badge, you will gain the vision, the experience, the fun, and the challenge to reach a higher standard and bring it home to the Scouts we all serve.

Wood Badge is advanced leadership training for adult leaders in all of Boy Scouting's program areas – Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, Varsity Scouting, Venturing, and Sea Scouting – as well as Council and District leaders.

Do your students cringe when it's time to pull out their math books? For many students, basic math is a struggle. But for students and teachers in Singapore, math is much more intuitive. And Singaporean students have been top mathematics performers for over a decade!
Using a layered curriculum founded on solid number sense and concrete, pictorial, and abstract computational strategies, Singaporean teachers make math purposeful, interesting, and relevant. Soon you'll learn their secrets and be able to have the same kind of meaningful math lessons in your classroom.
In this teacher training course, you'll learn over two dozen strategies to make math click for your students. We'll begin by exploring what Singapore Math is and how it has become such a powerful and highly regarded math curriculum. Then we'll talk about how number sense and place value instruction are the basis for all Singapore Math. From there, we'll learn a variety of computational strategies to make addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division a cinch.
You won't need a passport to discover the curriculum of the world's math leader!
Note: To receive 25 hours of instruction in the State of Oregon, please ensure your school is eligible to issue professional development units, and that the course is approved by your professional learning coordinator.
Anni Stipek graduated from University of Puget Sound with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Special Education. She has over 20 years experience in the classroom ranging from teaching kindergarten to high school math intervention courses, as well as five years as a math consultant and presenter for Staff Development for Educators. She has written and facilitates other online courses, including The Foundations of Singapore Math Model Drawing Grades 1-6 and The Foundations of Singapore Math Number Sense/Computation Strategies Grades 1-6.

Welcome to the first edition of 2009.
Let's see which posts made the cut for me.
New Year's is the time of year when we review stories, check on last year's predictions and predict for the coming year. James Wigderson does all three in three posts. You can find his prediction results, his look back, and his predictions for the coming year all at Wigderson Library & Pub.
On that theme, at Practically Speaking, Kyle Prast shares what she feels were her best posts of the past year.
Cindy Kilkenny is also reflective of the past accomplishments and future directions over at Fairly Conservative.
Huckleberry Dumbell, publisher, editor and writer at Spring City Chronicle, gives his opinion of what the Packers need.
Food is always popular this time of year and we have Scott Feldstein giving a thumbs-up to downtown Waukesha eating places.
We also have MommaBlogger over at Homemaker's Guide to the Galaxy, talking about something called Iron Cupcake. No, you'll have to click the link to find out.
As to that web site for the Wisconsin GAB that has the Minneapolis skyline on it, The Asian Badger says that's not the real problem.
Tom Gehl at Brookfield Basics reviews the book Flowing Streams by Stuart Briscoe, minister at large, at Elmbrook Church.
Alexander at A little off Main gives us Reason # 247 to love mass transit…
Bryon Houlgrave got up early New Years morning (stayed up late?) to give us Good Morning, 2009.
Trisha (Mrs. silent E) over at DaBubbler reposts an old article entitled The Green Conservative which is still well worth reading. Her blog was formerly named "life artist," so take note.
Speaking of silent E, he gave a report of the Bloggers Christmas Party at silent E speaks. You can see the predictions they made for the coming year and some pictures at Fred's place.
Finally, Dad29 comments on one of those little-heard economics items, M1 the multiplier. He's got a chart, too, and says,
The period from 'the end of 3.2' to 2008 was kinda 'sticky-gooey' economically, come to think of it…
In fact, it looks to me that "the end of 3.2" corresponds to Alan Greenspan becoming head of the Fed. Coincidence?
That's it for this week. You can always add your choices in the comments. You can also submit a post for next week's carnival in the comments also, or you can e-mail them to me at thoughtfulconservative [at] yahoo [dot] com. Past editions can be found on our here.

Rodgers: Suarez fighting to be fit
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed Luis Suarez is "working his socks off" to be fit and ready to return when his suspension for biting Branislav Ivanovic ends next week.
Suarez will be free to pull on a Liverpool shirt, for the first time since the Ivanovic incident on April 21, in next Wednesday's Capital One Cup trip to Manchester United.
Despite his long lay-off Rodgers believes Suarez will be in perfect condition after tailoring his training programme, and organising intra-club matches, to make a "seamless" return.
"We have been organising some games behind closed doors, both in terms of in-house 11-a-side matches and bringing teams in," Rodgers told various newspapers.
"The idea is that hopefully when he steps back in it will be seamless.
"Of course there will be a transitional period for him but I am really looking forward to having him back. He is working his socks off."
Suarez has played with Uruguay since his ban began - appearing in the Confederations Cup in the summer as well as this month's two World Cup qualifiers.
"In between that he has had international games as well to keep him ticking along," Rodgers said.
"He has been doing a lot of individual work specific to him on top of all that and replicating his high-intensity speed runs that he would do in a game.
"It is not the same as playing in a match but say he did 1,000 high-intensity runs in a game, he has been replicating that in training so that he is at a level where we hope he will hit the ground running."

Irish Genealogy And Family History - Contributions By Guest Bloggers And Brought To You By TheWildGeese.com

The Silent History of the Irish
As I uncovered the generations of my Grandmother's maternal ancestors in Nova Scotia, I just found Counties and rumors, crumbs but no cookies. It has taken 10 years and I have now got back 250 years in Canada for all of my Nova Scotia lines revealing that they left Ireland sometime between the 1745 famine and the 1798 rebellion against the English. Back then the records in Nova Scotia were few and far between but I always wondered why there was never any family lore of where in the counties they were from. A town a village or even a crossroads not even a hint has come to light.
One of the first PBS 'Faces of America' episodes was with Stephen Colbert and his mostly Irish Family History. It explained the English business of creating the famine and then profiting from the subsequent business of the removal of the Irish to America.
One scene really struck a chord and explained the mystery for me of the elusiveness of my Irish Ancestors. I chose to put this episode on Our Youtube Channel IrishFamilyHistory because of this scene. At the end of Part 2 Stephen reads his ancestor's oath of allegiance to America when he became a citizen.
"I..do solemnly swear that I do absolutely and entirely renounce all allegiance to any foreign potentate, prince, state or sovereignty whatsoever and particularly to the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland."
I realized at the same moment Stephen did that emotions we now have of Ireland are not the same as our Ancestors when they either chose to or were forced to leave. I can imagine their love of Ireland had become bittersweet, good memories replaced with images of so much pain and suffering. Putting it all out of their minds by not talking about it was probably the only way to move forward with any hope for a better future.

Insulin Pump Therapy
Insulin pump therapy can give you the better control you want for your lifestyle.1, 2
Insulin pump therapy can give you the better control you want for your lifestyle.1, 2
An insulin pump is a small device about the size of a small cell phone that is worn externally and can be discreetly clipped to your belt, slipped into a pocket, or hidden under your clothes. It delivers precise doses of rapid-acting insulin to closely match your body's needs:
A small durable medical device that has:
A plastic cartridge that holds the insulin that is locked into the insulin pump. It comes with a transfer guard (blue piece at the top that is removed before inserting the reservoir into the pump) that assists with pulling the insulin from a vial into the reservoir. A reservoir can hold up to 300 units of insulin and is changed every two to three days.
An infusion set includes a thin tube that goes from the reservoir to the infusion site on your body. The cannula is inserted with a small needle that is removed after it is in place. It goes into sites (areas) on your body similar to where you give insulin injections. The infusion set is changed every two to three days.
An infusion set is placed into the insertion device and with a push of a button the infusion set is inserted quickly and easily.
Insulin pump therapy provides more flexibility for your lifestyle while giving you greater control of your diabetes1.
Most private insurance companies cover insulin pumps under the durable medical equipment portion of your policy. Depending on your insurance coverage, you might have to pay a deductible and/or percent of the cost (co-insurance). If your deductible and out-of-pocket maximum has been met, the insulin pump might be covered at 100% by your insurance.Government Insurance
Government insurances such as Medicare and Medicaid may cover insulin pumps depending on the state and requirements. A patient's out-of-pocket cost under government insurance varies depending on the policy.Insurance Processing
When you start the process of getting an insulin pump, you do not have to worry about the paperwork. Medtronic will help you every step of the way by verifying your insurance, providing an estimated out-of-pocket cost, collecting the documents from you and your physician, and submitting all the required documents to your insurance company.Payment Options
If you do not have insurance or need assistance with your out-of-pocket cost, Medtronic offers flexible payment options and a financial assistance program for qualifying customers.Take the First Step >
If you or a person you are caring for has diabetes and uses insulin (type 1, type 2, Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults), an insulin pump might be the right choice. People can benefit from an insulin pump who want to:5

Fordham's Frank McLaughlin is the last of a unique breed. He was a sensational college basketball player, a terrific college basketball assistant and head coach, and a devoted athletic director.
McLaughlin always cared about the players — from basketball to tennis and back — under his watch and in giving his coaches the opportunity to succeed.
Fordham yesterday announced McLaughlin has been promoted to the new position of associate vice president of student affairs for athletic alumni relations and external affairs/athletic director emeritus, effective July 1. A national search has been launched to find a successor.
We can speculate if McLaughlin received this "promotion'' because the administration was tired of hearing him fight for his department, or, if after 27 years, the man and the university felt a change would be best for all.
What is not up for debate is that Fordham has reached a crucial moment in its athletic department and university future. With the uncertain future in college sports — especially the tenuous future of the Big East — Fordham, long considered the Sleeping Giant of New York college sports, has a can't-miss opportunity.
The next AD must be a savvy business person, a deal maker and he or she should have a former coach's sensitivities. There will be a lot of names associated with this search and, if Fordham is wise, it will allow McLaughlin a voice in the next hire.
Charlie Elwood is Fordham's director of athletic administration. He's a Fordham grad who has marketing teeth at St. John's. He is a former chair of the NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament.
Jim Fiore, the athletic director at Stony Brook, has completely redefined the athletic department there, bringing football to the FCS level and making men's basketball an America East force. Fiore was a finalist for the UConn job before withdrawing.
Bill Smith, another Fordham graduate, is director of team sales at the Garden, where he also has a strong hand in marketing. He also served as the director of business development for the Jets and was the director of corporate sponsor for the Giants.
Whoever the next AD, he or she should pick McLaughlin's brain, and, more importantly, his soul.

In January I decided to open up a private preschool. I was looking for a preschool to enroll Bri in in the area and I wasn't very happy with my options. There isn't very many to choose from and they are either really expensive, really hard to get into, or they didn't teach what I thought was important. I had a small preschool in Bullfrog which the school district had hired me to teach and I still had all my supplies. I had been thinking about it for a while and finally decided to ask around and see if anyone was interested. To my surprise there were ALOT of people interested. I originally thought I would be happy with five kids, but it has grown to eleven kids, AND I have a waiting list!! I am now even considering opening another session. It has been a lot of fun, and I really enjoy it. Bri is actually my most difficult challenge lately because the coolness of having so many friends over has worn out now that she has realized that it is not just play time and she actually has to work, but I am praying she will get over it.
Each week we focus on a letter from the alphabet. In this pic, the "letter of the week" was H so we had a hat day. The kids had a ton of fun playing silly hat games.

Some days ago Panoramio reached the magic number of one million geolocated photos. Thanks to the most wonderful community of users around the World now our planet is pretty much illustrated.
Since we launched the site in October 2005, 300.000 people have signed up at Panoramio. On February more than 4 million unique visitors came to Panoramio and made 30 million page views. As you can imagine all that traffic made our little team extremely busy, specially the last three months. At this graphic you can get an idea of the huge growth of the site since December:
Joaquín Cuenca has been working very hard optimizing our two servers with great results. Now even at traffic peaks the site downloads at a nice speed. We are doubling our servers right now, we want to be ready for future increases.
Together with the traffic avalanche we received lots of e-mails from the users reporting bugs, questions or requesting features. We replied personally to more than 99% of the e-mails, but if for whatever reason we missed yours, please send it again, we will try to do better this time. Those e-mails provided us with very useful information to fix some hard to find bugs and make the site overall more usable.
Panoramio is now translated to 8 new languages: Bulgarian (Andrey Kirkov and Boyan Ivanov Bonev), Norwegian (Bo Eide), Greek (Tasos & Kostas Koutsavlis), Finnish (Timo Rossi), Slovenian (Nina Litrop), Brazilian Portuguese (Sergio de Castro and Cleber Lima), Persian (Hessam Moosavi) and Traditional Chinese (David Hing Cheong Hung). It is a very nice feeling knowing that many people can enjoy Panoramio in their own language.
In my previous post I spoke about new features coming. The first one available is the "popular" tab at Panoramio map where you can see a selection of the best photos ordered by popularity. We lost hours looking at them.
You will see many new features the next weeks.

text: My girlfriend has had an email account with Yahoo for awhile. Within the past few days we have learned that her ex-husband has been into her account reading and sending emails. How we noticed was the password had been changed by the means of the secret question. She choose, "What is your father's middle name?". Which wasn't really hard for him to type in and get a new password. So there's a good security tip for everyone. Don't choose an easy question that someone could easily figure out, especially if they know you. I choose, "What was your childhood hero?" Heh, I don't remember what I put. Anyways, back to my issue. I searched on Yahoo's site forever looking for an option or link or any info about changing your secret question. Does anyone know if this possible? If so, please post any relevant info and point me in the right direction. I'm hoping the only solution will not be to abandon her email account and create a new one, because it would be an inconvience for an old email account to change accounts everywhere on the web and notify everyone in your address book. If we contacted Yahoo, would they be able or willing to help out in any way? Is there some other solution I'm looking over?

USDA has an Internet-based 2008 crop program payment calculator to help producers calculate the financial benefits they may receive under the Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE) program.
The calculator was designed by USDA's Farm Service Agency to give producers a tool to help them better understand and participate in this new crop disaster program.
"Our goal is to help the producers make informed decisions so their business planning is as easy as possible, and this calculator is one of the tools we're making available to do exactly that," said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.
The calculator collects information about farming operations, including planted acreage, actual production, insurance coverage data and other federal disaster payments. This relevant information is used to calculate an estimated payment for crop losses.
The calculator provides an estimated 2008 program payment to help producers better understand what they may qualify for under SURE, but it does not constitute an application for the program. The calculator is available on the FSA website at Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments.
For more information or to apply for SURE, producers should visit their local FSA county office.
SURE provides crop disaster assistance payments to eligible producers on farms that have incurred crop production or crop quality losses. The program takes into consideration crop losses on all crops grown by a producer nationwide. SURE provides assistance in an amount equal to 60 percent of the difference between the SURE farm guarantee and total farm revenue.
The farm guarantee is based on the amount of crop insurance and Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program coverage on the farm. Total farm revenue takes into account the actual value of production on the farm as well as insurance indemnities and certain farm program payments.
To be eligible for SURE, producers must have suffered at least a 10 percent production loss on a crop of economic significance. In addition, producers must meet the risk management purchase requirement by either obtaining a policy or plan of insurance under the Federal Crop Insurance Act or NAP coverage, for all economically significant crops.
For 2008 crops, producers had the opportunity to obtain a waiver of the risk management purchase requirement through a buy-in provision. Producers considered socially disadvantaged, a beginning farmer or rancher, or a limited resource farmer may be eligible for SURE without a policy or plan of insurance or NAP coverage.

Dreamforce: Salesforce Focuses on Mobile Marketing
At its annual Dreamforce conference last week, Salesforce.com introduced a wide array of products, mostly focused on using social connections in sales and marketing in new ways. There were many interesting product announcements, including Social Key to connect CRM data with social networks, a new version of its Chatter social network for partners, and a Dropbox-like product for the enterprise. However, most of the themes (and indeed, some of the products) continued on the theme of the "the social enterprise" discussed at last year's Dreamforce and Cloudforce shows.
Above: Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff
CEO Marc Benioff focused on "the social revolution," saying Salesforce.com's mission is to help its customers connect with their customers in a whole new way. "It is a customer revolution, it is a partner revolution, it is an employee revolution, and it is a product revolution," he said.
On the company's flagship CRM products, now called the "sales cloud," Salesforce's Hilarie Koplow-McAdams touted Salesforce Touch, a mobile HTML5 interface to the site, as the "first fully mobile sales application." It looks good, but Salesforce.com showed the same application last year. It is now slated to ship in the winter of 2013.
The announcement that may draw the most attention is Data.Com Social Key, designed to help companies connect people in a CRM database with their individual Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn profiles. I can see why companies might like this and why some consumers might not. She also introduced Chatter Communities for Partners, a way of taking the firm's Chatter social feed and extending it to partners, such as resellers.
Perhaps the biggest change in direction is the company's plan to introduce a "marketing cloud" to complement its "sales cloud" and "service cloud" solutions. This is designed in part to unify two of Salesforce's acquisitions: Buddy Media, which makes social media campaign software, and Radian6, which makes social media monitoring tools.
Other products the company introduced include a new service called ChatterBox, which it called "the Dropbox for the enterprise," for sharing files among chatter participants. It sounds a bit like Dropbox and a bit like the more enterprise-oriented Box.com.
Work.com is described as a "social performance management platform," essentially a revised version of the Rypple performance review system that Salesforce acquired.
In another keynote, Salesforce.com Co-Founder Parker Harris rolled out a new identity service, designed to allow a single sign-on to a variety of enterprise applications, similar to the way you can use your Facebook ID to sign on to a variety of Web services. Of course, there are lots of single sign-on and directory products for general corporate applications. This seems designed to work with all the applications on the Salesforce Platform and using its Chatter social networking app.
As in past years, much of this year's keynote focused on how specific customers are using the various products. In the first keynote, I was particularly interested in hearing how General Electric is creating a social network around its GEnx aircraft engine and how such engines now have their own APIs in the first place. The company said that connecting information on how the engine is performing in a network with its internal engineers and those of its customers is helping change the way it services, markets, and collaborates.
Other customer discussions included winter sports equipment maker Rossignol, game software maker Activision, Australian bank Commonwealth Bank, Coca-Cola, Facebook, and Virgin American airline.

Today I spent some time thinking about migraines, sexual harassment in the House of Representatives, business cards, and hair color, and cats. The last three items are not appropriate for this blog so I will cover them elsewhere. Like I think I expounded upon a few days ago, women are multi-taskers by nature. I cannot stick to one thing all day. If we had more women in the House and Senate there would be no stalemate about remedying the intentional default that will send us and a whole lotta other folks around the world into a global depression. We would have to have some variation in our subject. We just aren't inclined to work all day and come home and fondle the remote control all evening. We need more stimulation than that. Yet another reason to support increasing the number of women in elected office.
Migraines probably have very little to do with whether one Rep. can do her job or not. Her dedication to many beliefs and practices far outweigh her loyalty to and sworn duty to upholding the Constitution of the United States. That is the crux of the problem with her - not unresolved personal issues and conflicts that are stressing her out to the point of her body wanting to make her head explode. (Aside: as a woman and a migraine sufferer for 15 years of my life I can say these things.)
But... speaking of elected office,
Carolyn (a friend) posted a link to this on Facebook:
I think this may be one of the single most important efforts being made in Arizona today! We have no chance of ever having a normal state if the grossly skewed partisan manipulations of citizen representation are not removed from infrastructure. We cannot let this effort be nuked!

Another Plea In Panama Unit Case
McALLEN, Texas – Alexis Espinoza, 30, has entered a guilty plea to one count of conspiring to possess with the intent to distribute more than five kilograms of cocaine and more than 500 grams of methamphetamine, United States Attorney Kenneth Magidson announced today.
Espinoza, of McAllen, admitted that during 2012, he utilized his position as a law enforcement officer to traffic narcotics. Espinoza, a former officer with the Mission Police Department (MPD), along with other MPD officers and deputies of the Hidalgo County Sheriff's Offic, used his law enforcement authority to steal narcotics which were then sold to local drug dealers.
U.S. District Judge Randy Crane, who accepted the guilty plea, has set sentencing for Sept. 10, 2013, at which time he faces a minimum of 10 years and up to life in prison, along with a potential fine up to $10 million. Espinoza was permitted to remain on bond pending that hearing.
The investigation leading to the charges was conducted by the Drug Enforcement Administration, Homeland Security Investigations, FBI, Homeland Security Investigations - Office of Professional Responsibility and Texas Department of Public Safety. Assistant United States Attorneys James Sturgis and Anibal Alaniz are prosecuting the case.

No, your not getting it. Look at the photo and figure out the direction of force ie the geometry. Trying to pull down the front of the bar with my back hand is understandably stressing the tendons as it is not a natural movement.

Home > Who We Are > News > More Children at risk for lead poisoning? Dr. Hilleary Rockwell weighs in
Published on April 08, 2013
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -
More than half-million U.S. children are believed to have lead poisoning, roughly twice than previous thought.
Health officials say the increase is the result of the government lowering the threshold for lead poisoning, so now more children are considered at risk.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says about one in 38 young children have lead poisoning. Lead poisoning used to be a much larger concern in the U.S., but now the CDC has made stricter guidelines on paint, gasoline and toys.
With the stricter guidelines, pediatricians say they're going to start testing lead poisoning more often with a simple blood test about once a year.
"We've gotten into the habit lately because we had so few coming up positive of not screening as many people," said Dr. Hilleary Rockwell. "Although now with the new CDC regulations, we are going to start screening almost everybody on a regular basis."
Lead can harm a child's brain, kidneys and other organs. High levels in the blood can cause coma, convulsions and death. Lower levels can reduce intelligence, impair hearing and behavior, and cause other problems.
"Unfortunately, unless you have a toxicity, you probably won't have much in the way of symptoms," Rockwell said.
Often, children who get lead poisoning live in old homes. About 9 to 15 percent of homes in Duval and Bradford counties are at-risk homes -- those built before 1950.
Lead has been banned in household paint since 1978 and was gone from gasoline by the late 1980s.
"You want to be especially careful with children under age 6 when doing renovations with houses that were built before 1970 with old paint, especially doing sanding of the paint where there is a lot of dust in the air," Rockwell said.
Once lead poisoning is diagnosed, doctors often refer parents to local health departments to get their homes checked out to try to find the source of the problem.

Hot Bond Eliminates Cumbersome Bundles of Tubing
NewAge Industries' Hot Bond thermally bonded tubing joins lengths of reinforced and unreinforced tubing using heat, not leachable adhesives or solvents, for an orderly arrangement.
Hot Bond benefits include:
- Saving time and money on installation – bonded tubing eliminates multiple routing of lines
- Easier line traceability – quick troubleshooting saves labor expenses and time
- A professional appearance – a neat ribbon of tubing shows attention to detail and design while it eliminates confusing tangles of tubing
- Saving space – Hot Bond offers a more exact dimension than a bundle of tubing
Four types of Hot Bond allow for flexibility in design.
- Permanent bond offers maximum durability; permanently-bonded tubing cannot be separated without being cut.
- Strippable bond lets the user peel back a section of bonded tubing without the use of tools for convenient fitting attachments.
- Skip bond alternates sections of bonded tubing with unbonded tubing at specified intervals.
- Electric Hot Bond helps simplify electropneumatic connections by bonding electrical wire or light duty cable (customer supplied) to similar tubing materials resulting in more manageable installation and servicing processes.

After a bit of a blip, there's a summery feel to the year once more, neatly coinciding with the opening of Paul Kenny's new show O Hanami at Chris Beetles Fine Photographs.
Paul has been building this body of work since the harsh winter of 2010, as he explains in the show's catalogue:
"I was forced to stick close to home — trips to the beach were out of the question for about a month. This resulted in my field of vision being restricted; I was forced to work with the world around my feet. Teasing some scraps of natural material from under the snow or from the ice in the frozen garden pond, I began making a new body of work."
Printing this show has been a particular treat for me — we've worked together for four years now and each time the results of our collaboration simply seem to get better and better.
As with many of my posts these days, the images that follow are photographs I made of the prints themselves. Hard to believe, perhaps, but true!
All made with the trusty combination of HP Vivera Pigment Ink and Hahnemühle Paper, the three-dimensional quality to Paul's finished pieces really does need to be seen to be believed.
So, why O Hanami? Paul describes:
"In the spring of 1999 I travelled to Japan with a grant from the Sasakawa Foundation. While there I witnessed the phenomena of 'O Hanami', the festival honouring the brief, fleeting few days that cherry blossom covers the tree before being blown away by the wind.
"I saw groups of businessmen sitting under the trees at lunchtime, applauding when the wind showered them with gossamer pink petal 'snow'. I saw the TV special reports with 'weather' maps of the whole country with lines like isobars predicting the bursting out of blossom. The literal translation of O Hanami from the Japanese is 'flower watching', the more poetic translation is 'the celebration of transient beauty'."
O Hanami is at Chris Beetles Fine Photographs in London's Swallow Street from 29th May to 30th June.
Further Reading:
Since publishing this post, two leading industry figures have also written about Paul's show…
David Anthony Hall was so struck by O Hanami that he has generously dedicated a page of his site to it, which you can read by clicking here.
Wayne Ford has also written a second post about Paul on his unrivalled photography blog. Here's an extract:
"Throughout this breathtaking series, Kenny demonstrates a powerful connection with the landscape, a relationship through which he creates work of not only outstanding beauty but also emotional richness, that places him at the very forefront of land artists, with works of art that are so distinct they can only be categorised as like that of no other artist."

Oregon Wins the CBI: Why It Matters…Posted by rtmsf on April 2nd, 2011
Kenny Ocker is an RTC contributor. He was in Eugene for Games Two and Three of this week's College Basketball Invitational between Creighton and Oregon.
When people talk about March Madness, the College Basketball Invitational is probably about the furthest thing from basketball fans' collective conscience. Don't let that fool you, however. The third-rate tournament is a valuable source of experience for teams, and it allows players to hang on just a little bit longer. Without the National Invitation Tournament's strict standards of only extending bids to teams with above-.500 records, the CBI ends up with the third pick of postseason teams. Though the teams invited aren't NCAA Tournament-quality, that doesn't mean they're not quality teams. For instance, the Creighton Bluejays are 23-16 and the Oregon Ducks are 21-18. "We did win 20 games, which I know we had to play a lot to get to 20, but we did win 20 games, so winning breeds winning," Oregon head coach Dana Altman said after Wednesday's game. "Hopefully, it will help us down the road. We've got a long ways to go with our program, we're not kidding anybody, but at least guys are playing hard."
While both teams have been able to pad their records with wins in the tournament, the biggest impact the CBI has on college basketball is giving valuable practice time and postseason experience for growing teams. Creighton's Greg McDermott and Oregon's Altman are both first-year coaches at their programs (Altman, incidentally, came to Eugene from Creighton after 16 seasons in Omaha), and the two-plus weeks of meaningful practices both coaches have had with their teams will certainly make an impact next season. Incidentally, the tournament's last three champions (including 2011) were in their first years at their schools. The six 2010 CBI teams in this year's NCAA Tournament this season have gone 6-16 so far, compared with NIT teams going 7-32 and CollegeInsiders.com Tournament teams going 1-16. This is especially emphasized in the fairytale Final Four run of Virginia Commonwealth, which won the CBI in 2010. "It's not the NCAA Tournament. It's not the NIT," Altman said after Wednesday's game. "We've got a long ways to go to elevate our program there, but it's an opportunity to play."

Brian Wilson has left Colchester United after rejecting a new contract offer with the club.
The 30-year-old defender, whose current deal is due to expire this summer, turned down the opportunity to stay at the Weston Homes Community Stadium.
U's boss Joe Dunne wanted to keep his captain at Colchester for next season.
But he admitted he was not able to match what other clubs could offer Wilson financially.
Dunne said: "I tried to keep Brian.
"I understand it was a difficult situation in a financial market where there will be clubs able to pay more than we do.
"When that situation arises you have a decision to make when you have a young family and you're from a different part of the country.
"I fully respect Brian and what he did for the club.
"He was my captain and we did try to keep him."
Wilson was signed by John Ward for Colchester in 2010, following his exit from Bristol City.
He made 163 league and cup appearances for the U's, scoring three times.
Colchester have also announced the departure of Jordan Sanderson and Shaun Phillips from the club.
Sanderson made two substitute appearances for the U's first team, while young keeper Phillips leaves having not played a senior game.

The following was originally published by Politico
Now that Mitt Romney has selected Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), head of the House Budget Committee, as his running mate, he has insured that this campaign will feature arguments about the budget and deficits. Ryan jumped right in last weekend, hammering away at "debt, doubts and despair" that put the country on an "unsustainable path."
Democrats are delighted since Romney is now firmly entangled with Ryan's "reverse Robin Hood" budget plan, which calls for bigger tax cuts for the rich and corporations, and pays for them by brutal cuts in Medicare and Medicaid, education, college support, food stamps and other programs for the vulnerable. It does little, however, to reduce deficits over the next decade.
In contrast, President Barack Obama calls for rolling back the top-end Bush tax cuts and so is better able to protect Medicare and Medicaid and limit cuts to the poor.
Yet beneath stark differences in direction are shared assumptions that don't make much sense. As fierce as the coming debate is likely to be, its terms are still too limited to deal with the challenges we face.
1. Austerity is affliction, not cure
The near-universal assumption – from the tea party to the White House – is that it's time to tighten our belts. Both Romney and Ryan are particularly vociferous in railing about debt and spending as the source of our travails.
But we've just had a trial run of austerity in Great Britain, Spain, Italy and other European countries. The result is clear. Every European country inflicting austerity on economies still struggling to recover from the economic crash has ended with worse debt to gross domestic product ratios. Austerity not only cost jobs, increased misery and crippled growth — it made debt burdens worse.
The crucial step toward reducing deficits is to put people to work and paying taxes rather than looking for work and collecting unemployment benefits. The president raised this with his jobs agenda last fall, but the House Republicans, led by Ryan, blocked most of it, while seeking even deeper cuts in education, food stamps and other programs for the vulnerable.
Austerity not only weakens an economy barely in recovery, it represents a conclusion that the patient is incurable. Turning to austerity serves notice that current levels of mass unemployment are the new normal. We'll see more and more articles about "structural unemployment" and "improperly trained" workers. If accepted — expect continued decline of the middle class and rising poverty.
We should be seriously debating how to get the economy going in order to get our books in order, not how best to inflict austerity. Yet Ryan reinforces Romney's embrace of the old-time Republican nostrum – arguing that top end tax cuts, deregulation and domestic spending cuts will "free up" the economy to expand. The Republican National Committee has just released an ad warning against any hint of "stimulus" spending to get the economy going. It remains to be seen whether Obama and Democrats will join this debate.
2. America is not a wastrel
The consensus on austerity comes from our forbidding trillion-dollar annual deficits. For years, what Paul Krugman calls the austerians have fulminated about the coming crash of the dollar and soaring interest rates. America is a deadbeat, deep in debt, its credit rating despoiled. We're on the road to "fiscal ruin" says the Romney campaign. Ryan is unequaled when it comes to raising terrors about deficits and debt — though his budget does little to reduce them.
But the markets don't agree. Investors across the world see America as a remarkably safe place to store their money. The U.S. can now borrow 20-year money at interest rates less than the rate of inflation. That is, investors are willing to pay us to borrow from them. We can borrow money that is literally cheaper than free.
There will never be a better opportunity to rebuild America. Our infrastructure is decrepit. Our construction industry is virtually idle. And money is cheap. Any businessman worth his salt would jump at the opportunity to launch a major, multi-year project to rebuild the country. And, at the same time, put people back to work and help get our books in order. Given the costly inefficiencies – and deadly perils – of the current state of our bridges, sewers, roads, airports and more – it hard to see how this would not literally pay for itself.
3. Shared Sacrifice adds to what ails us
Ryan's budget helps smoke Romney out of the shadows. Their plan showers tax cuts on the rich and corporations; hikes taxes on the middle class, and inflicts deep cuts on the vulnerable, the elderly and the poor. In contrast, Obama, Democrats and many Republican legislators call for shared sacrifice, putting everything on the table.
But when rewards are not shared, shared sacrifice is a cruel joke. Working families have struggled with declining wages for three decades, while the share of national income pocketed by the wealthiest 1 percent has tripled. In 2010, the wealthiest 1 percent pocketed 90 percent of the reward of growth. Surely, if sacrifice is needed, they should be first in line.
In fact, the Romney-Ryan plutocrat plan and shared sacrifice aren't just unfair; they add to what ails us. Our current levels of extreme inequality aren't just unconscionable, Nobel Prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz has shown, they are also economically destructive. When the middle class is sinking, consumer demand is sapped. When workers don't share in the rewards of rising productivity, their demoralization makes them less reliable and productive.
The uber-wealthy live in gated communities with private guards, send their kids to private schools, vacation on private beaches. Unequal societies thus often starve vital social services – parks, schools, mass transit. Moreover, the wealthy use their power to preserve privileges – tax dodges that let multi-millionaires like Romney pay a 14 percent tax rate or a massive corporation like General Electric pay no taxes at all, multimillion dollar giveaways that enrich plutocrats like the Koch brothers, financial deregulation that lets Wall Street to go wild. These all exact huge costs on our economic vitality.
In getting our books in order, we need to start with top-tier tax hikes, then shut down tax dodges and end obscene corporate giveaways — not simply as a matter of social justice, but as an essential step in revitalizing our economy. Raising the minimum wage, curbing CEO compensation schemes, empowering workers to gain a fair share of the profits and productivity they help to generate are essential to any-long term strategy to get our economy moving and our books back in balance.
4. Everything is on the table — except the important things
The chattering classes all agree that everything should be on the table in the coming budget negotiations. What they mean is that Democrats should agree to cuts in Medicare and Social Security and Republicans should accept some tax hikes. Both should accept cuts in defense and domestic spending. In combination, we can slowly get our books in order.
Romney, Ryan and House Republicans, however, flat-out reject this conventional wisdom. They want more top-tier tax cuts, sustained military spending, with all the deficit reduction coming from domestic spending cuts. An estimated three-fifths of Ryan's budget cuts come from programs that help the poor, according to the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities. In contrast, the president, in his desire for a "grand bargain," has declared his willingness to put everything up for discussion.
Beneath the glaring contrast, both sides assume a growing and stable economy over time. Yet neither side addresses the very things that destabilize our economy and drive up our deficits and debt.
For example, the debt burden shot up from 40 percent to 70 percent of GDP when Wall Street's excesses blew up the economy in 2008, the worst calamity since the Great Depression. So any serious long-term strategy should feature reforms to curb Wall Street. Yet Romney and Ryan both call for repealing even the modest reforms passed to patrol Wall Street's follies. And neither party, faced with the need to finance the most expensive election in history, is talking about how to bring Wall Street to heel.
Similarly, fighting wars without paying for them – as President George W. Bush did in Iraq and Afghanistan – will destabilize any budget plan.
But taking on this agenda is difficult, particularly with Wall Street the leading funder to both parties in an era of big money politics. It's far easier to sell the conservative promise of more tax cuts or the conventional call for shared sacrifice.
5. Entitlements are the answer, not the problem
The terrifying Congressional Budget Office projections of massive deficits over the next decades are driven by one thing – soaring health care costs. As Dean Baker, head of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, and others have demonstrated, if the U.S. spent what European nations do on national health care (nations that cover more of their people and have better public health results), we would project surpluses as far as the eye can see.
Romney and Ryan call for putting a lid on the projected costs of Medicare and Medicaid. They also, of course, famously pledge to repeal Obama's health care reforms. But cutting Medicare and Medicaid – turning the former into a voucher and the latter into a block grant to the states — does nothing to control health care costs; it simply pushes more of them onto those least able to afford them – the elderly and the disabled.
The answer that America will get to, after trying all other alternatives, will come by using our entitlements – "Obamacare," Medicare, Medicaid and the Veterans Administration system – to drive health care reform. "Obamacare" offers major strides in this regard. Next will likely be the addition of a public option to counter insurance company price fixing, and empowering Medicare and others to negotiate bulk discounts on prescription drugs. Fixing our system won't be done by driving rising costs to the most vulnerable, but by driving cost reform through our entitlements.
The Choice
Romney and Ryan peddle a remarkably cruel plan with sunny and optimistic rhetoric. Obama and the Democrats offer a far more balanced and common sense alternative. But as stark as that choice is, the terms of this debate are still too limited to address the challenges this country faces. That's why the labor unions, the AFL-CIO and allies, gathered 35,000 strong last weekend in Philadelphia to release an economic bill of rights — including the right to a job with a living wage, to a quality education, to basic security including health care and retirement security, to a voice at work and the untrammeled right to vote. If we want to revitalize this country's economy and get our books back in balance, then we'll have to expand the limits of this debate.

The quickest way for healing yourself and to flush out disease is to apply the transforming light of the Holy Spirit, the Violet Flame. The violet flame is the instrument of the personal Holy Spirit.
The Spirit of the Lord is the agent of God's healing, while the sacred fire is the agency. When you make heart contact with the Holy Spirit, by purest love you tap the source of the sacred fire of God.

Stubborn will and human pride must go into the violet flame! The healing of all hardness of heart must happen before physical healing and wholeness can take place, and requires the unconditional surrender of your soul to your beloved Self, your Higher Self.
