A rose any other name is still a rose. The names are many – some call them devotions, quiet time, or Bible study. While still others name it Jesus time, Soaking up the Spirit, or even centering.

It's the seeking first the Kingdom of God that is the crux of Christianity, and it can be much harder than one might ever suspect.

Last night, after two glasses of champagne and a friendly debate with a close friend on the pros/cons of dating a younger man vs. an older man, I left to meet J. at an event he was bartending. Lost in the concrete and glass facade of Battery Park City, I stumbled upon Shake Shack. A Shake Shack in Battery Park City? It was empty according to Shake Shack's mile-long standards. I kept glancing down at my phone trying to find the address of the party…wandering aimlessly. I felt like I was sucked into some futuristic city.
As I passed a storefront, I glanced in the window and saw a party hopping with ladies tilting back glasses, swaying on their six-inch heels and laughing their heads off. Was what that guy said really THAT FUNNY? A woman in a steel gray dress caught my eye as she had her butt practically plastered to the window and was surrounded by men on either side. I glanced down at my Tory Burch flip-flops not envious of the pain she was inflicting on herself to tower over everyone else. Manhattan nightlife was ticking on without me.
I walked back and forth for another few minutes, and then I realized — this is the party J. is at. As if reading my thoughts, his face suddenly emerged in the window, a parting of the drunken faces around him. Straightening my skirt, I took a tentative step forward. The door opened and the woman in the gray dress — who I had just been checking out a few minutes earlier, smiled down at me,
"Come on in, this is my store…" Of course, it was.
With my own buzz strong, but not quite matching hers, I admitted I had admired her dress from afar as I had scanned the canyon of shops stuck right in the middle of Battery Park City. She was a ringer for Eva Mendes — J.'s #1 celebrity crush/fantasy! I scanned the room for Ryan Gosling. Apparently he had other plans for the night.
I watched her sashay and bump and grind around the crowded storefront. It was a great turnout and she was soaking up every ounce of the limelight, as she should. She was single and many of her potential suitors were late-night party hanger-ons from Goldman Sachs.
"So how do you know V.?" a handsome, suited man asked as he leaned into me.
"I don't. I know the bartender…"
"Oh," he quickly turned his head to the left to glance at J., looked back at me a little harder, a little deeper, making me gasp.
I don't socialize as much as I used to, so any male attention now feels foreign and slightly forbidden. When the host's sister sized me up and said,
"Oh, so this is your girl?" to J., I felt like a stalker-girlfriend.
But the truth is, I was nearby in Soho and J. had invited me, I wasn't checking up on him. Besides a little playful jealously is good. It's when you don't care that someone should be worried.
In the cab ride home, we both broke into deep hysterics (fueled by Prosecco) when I said, "Soooooo…Eva Mendes…" J. had met the real one a few years ago and bravely gave her his number. No dice.
His dimple creases pushed his smile wide and he grabbed my thigh,
"You know me too well…"
No dice again. Just a Rainbow.

Allow Us To Introduce Ourselves
Fred Gassert
I am the owner, along with my wife Carol, of Home Elevator Company. I started in the Elevator Business back in 1977 working for Montgomery Elevator Company in Wichita, KS. I worked there as a helper for one year and was promoted to temporary mechanic and worked two years with a service route maintaining commercial elevators. I went back to school and graduated with a diploma in accounting. I worked as a computer programmer and accountant and Carol and I started our family with Andrea. After she turned two we decided we could use some extra money and I bought a couple of use stairlifts, refurbished them and resold them. That was the beginning of Home Elevator Company. We did it on the side for 8 years and then decided to jump in full time. Been doing it ever since. We've installed over 200 elevators and even more stair lifts, all of which we still service. I've seen a lot of manufacturers come and go, as well as competition, but we are still here. Growing to serve the community.
Andrea Vincent
I have been working for Home Elevator Company full time since May of 2012. I am a graduate of Wichita State University with a Bachelors of Arts in Women's Studies and a minor in Sociology. My parents are the owners of HEC so I have been around the elevator business since I was a kid. I am a sales associate, office assistant and have worked in the field on occasion. I have enjoyed learning more about the elevator industry. The best part of my job is meeting with customers and finding the right product for them. I am excited to see what the future will bring for me and everyone here at HEC.
Carol Gassert
I am owner and office manager for Home Elevator Company. In 1983 my husband and I started Home Elevator Company part time and in 1993 we made it our full time business. Through out the years we have raised 3 daughters and because of HEC we were able to have more time for them. They are all grown now and I get to enjoy my 3 grandchildren. After a few years away from HEC I'm back and excited to see what this company can do.

It must be Taco Week here at BistroBess! Today I have another spin on classic tacos, this time with an Asian flair.
Fusing the classic Mexican taco with ingredients from other countries, particularly Korea and other parts of Asia, is a big culinary trend right now. Many credit this to the popularity of food trucks, which use the portable taco as the perfect vehicle to deliver a variety of flavors. One of my favorites here in DC is TaKorean, which I recommend you seek out for lunch some day soon.
These Kung Pao tacos are packing some heat, thanks to a healthy dose of fresh chile paste. Sambal Oelek is available at most grocery stores in the Asian section. It can be potent, so use with caution!
Kung Pao Chicken Tacos
adapted from Cooking Light
- 6 skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 TB lower-sodium soy sauce, divided
- 1/4 cup plus 1 1/2 tsp cornstarch, divided
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 2 1/2 TBs canola oil, divided
- 1 1/2 TB honey
- 1 TB dark sesame oil
- 2 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 TB sambal oelek (ground fresh chile paste). This makes the tacos quite spicy. If you prefer less spice, start with 1 tsp and go from there
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- 1/3 cup sliced green onions, about two large
- 1/2 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 large carrot, diagonally sliced (or about 10-12 baby carrots)
- 3 TB coarsely chopped dry-roasted peanuts
- corn tortillas, warmed in the oven or in a dry skillet
Place chicken in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add 1 tablespoon soy sauce to bag; seal. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes. While chicken marinates, combine 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch, remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, honey, and next 4 ingredients (through garlic) in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Set aside for later use.
Place 1/4 cup cornstarch in a shallow dish. Remove chicken from bag and add to cornstarch in dish, and toss chicken to thoroughly coat. Shake off excess cornstarch.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon canola oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add half of coated chicken; sauté for 6 minutes or until done, turning to brown. Remove chicken from pan using a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Repeat the procedure with remaining 1 tablespoon canola oil and coated chicken. Set chicken aside.
With the heat still on medium high, add remaining canola oil, if needed. Add onion, pepper and carrot and sauté until crisp tender, about 2 minutes. Put chicken back in the pan, stir in soy sauce mixture. Sauce should thicken up and coat the chicken and veggies.
Top heated tortillas with the chicken and veggie mixture. Sprinkle on chopped peanuts and garnish with extra green onions, if desired.

False River rehab begins today
NEW ROADS - The drawdown of False River from 16 feet above sea level to 13.5 feet above sea level will begin Tuesday.
The Pointe Coupee police jury will oversee the drawdown of the river which will take place over a three week period with the water level being reduced by 1.5 inches per day until the target level is reached. According to engineering plans, False River will remain at this low level through March 2015.
Once drawdown is complete, RLB Contracting, Inc. of Port Lavaca, Texas will perform hydraulic dredging and construction of a containment dike in the South Flats of the oxbow lake.
The first phase of the project to improve water quality in False River will cost the state an estimated $2.7 million. Police juror, Melanie Bueche, says the plans are geared toward improving the quality of fish in False River.
"They are concerned with the water quality of the river, and also so many of them love to fish," she said. "Of course they would love to be able to catch the trophy fish that we used to catch here years ago."
Owners of property and boats on False River are being cautioned by officials to protect their properties during the drawdown period. Boaters are advised to avoid shallow areas and use caution while traveling in the lake due to low water levels. Officials warned boat owners that access to boats stored on certain parts of the lake may be limited until the normal water level is restored.
"The fact that people know the plan has been in effect, that we are moving forward to the drawdown, has brought an unbelievable amount of people back to False River," said Bueche. "They are in their rafts, boats, skis and jet skis, and it's just wonderful to see the people back here on False River."
Instead of caution, homeowners and camp residents are encouraged to use the low water levels to their advantage by taking the opportunity to clean the shoreline and do pier maintenance on their properties.
After the work is completed in March of next year, False River's return to its normal depth will depend upon rainfall totals.

Spring has sprung in Idaho and with the warmer weather many of us are waking our bikes up from their long, winter hibernation. Now is the time to start planning your trips and mapping your routes, and Idaho's Bike Map can help you do that.
The Idaho Bike Map, http://gis.itd.idaho.gov/bikemap *, was developed to aid cyclists in planning the best possible route by providing critical information on the state's highways and scenic byways – including shoulder width, traffic levels, steep grades, and more. Cyclists can use Idaho Bike Map to explore the state by taking advantage of its scenic byways, beautiful rivers and streams, and friendly communities.
"We launched the bike map as a tool to help cyclists around the state, beginner to advanced, plan their trip safely. Many of Idaho's highways may not be conducive to cyclists at this point. Knowing the conditions of the road in advance help cyclists to make the best decisions," said Randy Kyrias, administrator of ITD"s Division of Public Transportation.
Idaho's Bike Map goes hand-in-hand with the recent launch of Google's new bike directions. Google's bike directions, available at http://www.maps.google.com, provide easy route planning for those riding surface streets in Idaho. Simply enter your starting and ending point, choose bicycling, and your best route will show on the map.
While these tools are steps in the right direction, Idaho still has a long way to go to improve the cycling environment. This week, the bike safety bills put forth by Sen. Elliot Werk, died without a Senate vote.
"This is very disappointing," said Heather Wheeler, Executive Director of CTAI. "Supporting improved environments for cyclists must be a priority in order to provide people in Idaho improved options in their daily transportation. Whether you are riding for recreation or utilizing your bike as your primary mode of transportation, you need to have a safe environment to get from point A to point B."
Recently, the Alliance for Biking and Walking released their 2010 Benchmarking Report, outlining the biking and walking environment on a national level. The report, available at http://www.moblityidaho.org/Traveler-guide/bicycling, provides interesting statistics regarding bicycling and walking in Idaho:
CTAI will be working closely with Idaho's bicycling community to advocate for improvement. "Idaho Pedestrian & Bicycle Alliance sees the Idaho Bike Map as an important first step in highlighting where Idaho highways are bike friendly. Like any first effort, it makes clear where improvements will enhance safety and access for both active Idahoans and our many visiting cyclists," said Molly O'Reilly, President IPBA.

There's Already Drama In The Jungle After Final Celebs Enter
It's official. Model Kris Smith and Socialite Kate Fischer have entered the jungle.
After months of speculation our final contestants (we think!) have been announced.
You may know Fischer as the former partner of James Packer.
She first rose to prominence in 1988, winning the Dolly Magazine Covergirl Competition, which paved the way for her modelling career.
The 43-year-old has also had a long spanning acting career.
After a ten year hiatus from the limelight she has now returned to our screens.
What she said:
Come on... Get out of the way... You know, I don't deal with stress well at all. I eat. I drink. I cry. I scream. Come on, people...! Have a little bit of compassion... I'm Tzipporah Malka. You may remember me as Kate Fischer from back in the '90s when I was an it-girl. If anyone calls me "Kate", "Zippy" or "Zip", they've got three strikes and they're out. I'll let them know. I did lots of television shows, a movie called Sirens, and I was also engaged to James Packer. I've been in the public eye since I was 13. I've had a 10-year hiatus. But, you know, getting back into it... It's a whole different ball game.
Girls, let's cheer for a bit of eye candy entering the jungle!
Kris Smith is a model and former athlete.
He also is the former partner of entertainer Danni Minogue – and the father of her child.
What he said:
"I've played professional rugby league for 12 years. I'd like to think I'll competitive. Building fires and cooking probably aren't my strong points. I'm struggling to find one right now. My name is Kris Smith, 38 years old, TV presenter, host, model, former rugby league player, more importantly, the proudfather of a 6-year-old boy, Ethan, who I share with his lovely mother, Dannii Minogue."
While the other contestants dropped into the jungle by sky-diving or abseiling, this pair had a challenge of different sorts.
(And let's be honest, we're happy that within minutes Kris had his shirt off).
As Kris and Tzipporah bond, they were forced to cross murky water that may have been crocodile infested waters with the help of just a plank of wood and a rope.
And as they follow the map that they believe will take them to camp, they were completely unaware that they were in fact on their way to their first tucker trial.
Day one and Tzipporah already has a cockroach in her ear... All in a day's work!
Meanwhile, at camp shock jock made a damning comment about the idea of Tzipporah (Kate Fischer) entering the camp - "For Christ sake, do not wish that!"
We can't wait for it to all unfold!

Red Rain by RL Stine – Advanced Review [djinn24]
Larry reviews New York Times bestselling author RL Stine's first adult fiction novel "Red Rain" coming out October 9th, 2012.
RL Stine, master of children's nightmares delves into scaring his old fans once again as he dives headfirst into adult horror fiction. ~Larry, The Founding Fields
I was and still am a fan of RL Stine's YA titles Goosebumps and Fear Street so when I heard the master of children's nightmares was going to be releasing an adult horror fiction I was excited, and fearful as well. Sometimes when authors are switching from young adult fiction to adult fiction they try to hard, adding things that really do not need to be there to make it adult, and it ultimately ruins the books, and sometimes our outlook on the author.
When I first received the book I was super excited and tore into it, due to being home and work it took a bit longer to read then a book normally does. The book is a page turner, Stine does an outstanding job holding the readers attention and just when you thought you figured things out he had no problem throwing a wrench in to your thinking and created a nice plot twist. He had me guessing all the way until the ending and wrapped up the entire book really nicely. Every scene in the book plays well to the story and there is no real proverbial fat that we have to chew while reading this.
The characters in this book are thought through but not over done in explaining them. Some authors do an incredible job in character creation, sometimes even overdoing it. To me a prime example of this is Stephen King or JK Rowling who can create characters you will cry about if something happens to them or want to reach into the page and strangle just through their sheer stupidity or attitude. R.L. Stine, while he does a great job of creating characters he does not go deep in depth about them. Which for some people will be a good thing, and others bad. While reading this book I did see many similarities to King's writing syle, so in a way this is King-lite, great writing style and storytelling without tons of extra stuff.
If you were a fan of RL Stine when you where a kid then I am glad to say that Stine pulls off the transition to an adult horror writer expertly. Upon opening his book I found myself in a matured Goosebumps book, this time with all the gory details we wanted when we were younger, with a bit of sex added to truly add elements to the story, not just to spice it up.
I am giving this book a solid 9/10. All the elements of a great novel are present and this could even be enjoyed by out of genre readers as well as people seeking a nice horror filled night. If you ever where a fan of Stine the get this book. Also if you are a fan of Stephen King I would say that you would also enjoy this book a lot too. Ultimately if you just want a good horror/thriller novel then this should be good for you.
Travel writer Lea Sutter finds herself on a small island, Cape Le Chat Noir, off the coast of South Carolina. A merciless, unanticipated hurricane cuts a path of destruction and Lea barely escapes with her life. She has an overwhelming desire to help the devastated island. In the storm's aftermath, she discovers orphaned twin boys and impulsively decides to adopt them.
The boys, Samuel and Daniel, seem amiable and immensely grateful. Lea's family in Sag Harbor, Long Island – husband Mark, a child psychologist and newly minted bestselling author of a controversial parenting book and their two children, Ira and Elena – aren't quite so pleased. Then strange things begin to happen. No one could have anticipated the twins' true nature…how could they? Or predict that within a few weeks' time, Mark will wind up implicated in two brutal murders? Or that the twins would have some strange power over Ira and Elena…and all the children in the neighborhood?
As the town dissolves into a place of unending fear and horror, seemingly led by the twins, Lea and Mark must ask themselves, is a child's life worth protecting above all else? How far will they be willing to go to bring back order-and will it cost them their family?
In RED RAIN, R.L. Stine proves that he can not only scare children and teens, but adults as well! With the success of Goosebumps and Fear Street in the 90's, it is virtually impossible to find a person in his or her twenties or thirties who was NOT an R.L. Stine fan. RED RAIN is for those millions of now adult readers who grew up on the beloved master of the genre, and for every fan of deviously inventive horror.
RED RAIN: A Novel
Touchstone Hardcover / Simon & Schuster
Release Date: October 9, 2012
Price: $24.99
R.L. Stine lives in New York City with his wife, Jane, an editor and publisher, and their dog, Minnie. Please visit him at www.RLStine.com.

You Can Help in the Fight to End Polio
Feb 06, 2013
I am grateful that as a parent here in the United States, I've never worried about my child suffering from polio. However it wasn't that long ago that parents, even in the U.S., were consumed with worry. As I read Elizabeth Atalay's article on the World Mom's Blog recently, I realized my own parents could have been among those who suffered from polio. And while polio may not be a concern to parents in the U.S. these days, we only have to look at our global brothers and sisters to understand why we must continue our efforts to eradicate this crippling disease.
Currently, Nigeria is the world's most endemic country for polio, followed by Pakistan and Afghanistan. According to data from the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI), the total number of wild polio cases in 2012 was 222, with Nigeria having the highest number of 121.
Fortunately, eradicating polio has been a priority of Rotary International since 1985. When Rotary began the fight to end this disease, polio infected nearly 350,000 people – mostly children – in 125 countries every year. Since then, the number of polio cases has plummeted by more than 99%.
Looking back, 2012 was a historic year in the fight to end polio:
• 429 million children were vaccinated against polio.
• The year ended with the fewest wild polio cases, in the fewest places ever in history.
• Less than 300 polio cases were reported in 2012 – 60% less than 2011.
• India celebrates two years polio-free this month
So now, after nearly 30 years, and more than 2 billion children immunized against polio, Rotary and its partners are on the brink of making history. To help in the ongoing fight, Rotary is asking everyone to join in the World's Biggest Commercial.
What is the World's Biggest Commercial?
It's an opportunity for people everywhere to make history by joining in a commercial starring thousands of people — leaders, celebrities, and even supporters like you and me living in every part of the world. Join Bill Gates, Jackie Chan, Ziggy Marley, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Jane Goodall, and Every Child By Two's very own immunization champion, Amanda Peet, in Rotary's "This Close" campaign. All you have to do is upload a photo of yourself making the "This Close" gesture to be added into the constantly growing commercial. Thanks to a $50,000 donation from PhRMA, every photo uploaded translates to a 60 cent donation – enough to protect a child from polio for life.
According to a recent article in Vanguard, Bill Gates, Co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, recently underscored his commitment to the global effort to eradicate polio while addressing the prestigious Dimbleby Lecture in London. He declared:
"We are on the verge of doing something we've never been able to do before; reaching the vast majority of children in the remotest places in the world. We are building systems, developing technology, and training workers that make it possible to help people who never got any help. When polio is gone, we can use the same systems, technology, and people to deliver other lifesaving solutions, especially routine vaccinations for diseases like rotavirus and measles."
It's true that when polio is eradicated, it will be a huge global health victory. However, as Bill Gates explains, the benefits will extend far beyond polio, paving the way for other important health improvements in some of the most remote places in the world.
However, we need to finish this fight first. If we don't finish it now more than 10 million children under the age of five could be paralyzed in the next 40 years. And we are "this close".

That's fantastic news once again. And yes, once the technology & infrastructure is in place, it will be that much easier to go down the list and work on the next set of diseases we can eradicate.
At the end of the day, if we are able to eliminate these diseases, it means the vaccines will no longer be necessary – why are the anti-vax people fighting so hard to protect the profits of the pharmaceutical companies?
No disease means no vaccine which means no profits or profit motive – isn't that a good thing (in the minds of anti-vax folks, right)?
No Vaccines? There will always be vaccines. If the disease is eliminated, there will still always be the threat of it coming back. So they will keep on vaccinating. Besides, the manufacturers would never lose that kind of money.
Gimmer, when did you last have a smallpox booster? Polio can be eradicated from this planet, but it will take time.
Who needs small pox boosters? There are plenty of other vacccines filling their pockets with $$$$ and I am waiting for the vaccine that helps you lose weight and the vaccine that stops you from going gray. Can't wait to see what they come up with.
The Polio vaccine is actually keeping Polio alive and well. The recent Polio cases in the US are caused by the vaccine itself.
So you would rather have people get sick than prevent illness? So, please, tell us how preventing polio with vaccines gives more money to Big Pharma than treating those who get paralyzed from polio.
Also, there is a reason that the USA uses IPV instead of OPV.
LOL – giving the vaccine actually gives people Polio….that is making them sick not preventing it.
How much money do they make for every vaccine given? How many vaccines are given world wide? I'm sure that is a lot of $$$$
How many actually get paralyzed from Polio? You may have had Polio and not even known.
[citation needed].
Gimmer, please show us how you can interpret data. Open up this 37 page pdf document, and go to page 30. Look at the table and tell us what number is the the left of the word "Vaccines", then tell us what it means.
giving the vaccine actually gives people Polio
1. Vaccine-related polio
2. Vaccine-derived polio
Let the germ denialism begin.
@Chris – yet another anti-vax head that believes that it is cheaper to treat, rather than prevent disease…….
@insano-troll – why do you keep trying to avoid the ban-hammer?
Chris, please show me you can cook. Please go to your oven and put in a roast. Let it cook for a few hours and take it out….please tell me, what do you see?
I see delicious food. Tonight it is herb crusted pork tenderloin with roasted Yukon Gold potatoes, and thinly sliced cauliflower with paprika.
Now please show us if you can read a table. All you have to do is give us the number to the left of the word "Vaccines" and explain what it means.
@Gimmer – now how about answering our question – do you believe it is more profitable to treat or prevent disease?
Sounds delicious!
Now, Gimmer, go to page 30 of the document I linked to, and tell me what number is the left of the word "Vaccines." Explain what it means.
From what I've read, the last wild polio virus infections in the USA were in 1979. Since then, there have been a few reported cases of vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV) typically in unvaccinated and/or immunocompromised individuals who were exposed to it by someone else in a different country who had received the OPV within two months. Vaccination with OPV has been replaced with IPV in the USA since 2000 and can protect against wild poliovirus as well as VDPV. This information, and more, can be found here: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd-vac/polio/dis-faqs.htm
Given that we've seen only a very few (less than 10 in the last decade) infections, in a very niche group of individuals (immuno-compromised, got OPV overseas, etc), I think it is very safe to say, that for the 99.99999% of Americans out there, the polio vaccine is a non-issue for safety.
Exactly, Lawrence. Another thing of note in that link is those few children who contracted VDPV were all unvaccinated and none were paralyzed nor died of it. That was in 2005. It stated the 2009 case was the death from complications of paralytic polio VDPV she had been exposed to 12 years prior, and she was also immunocompromised. All the more reason vaccinations are important for all those who can be to get, because those who cannot get the vaccines, are the ones more likely to succumb to the disease, wild type or otherwise as in this case.
And the other important thing to remember is that there are only a few countries left that still have polio. Just like smallpox, it can be eradicated.
@Chris – I certainly hope so. It won't be easy, given the areas in which we still find wild cases to be some of the most difficult places to operate in on Earth (like the Tribal Areas of Pakistan or Northern Nigeria). Social Unrest and war are the biggest obstacles to the eradication campaign right now…..
Considering the way that the CIA used a vacination campaign to get information on the location of bin Laden, I would think that anti-Americanism sentiment in Taliban-controlled areas in Pakistan and Afghanistan may also play a role as well.
It doesn't excuse the Taliban from preventing the dissemination of the vaccination in their areas. I do hope that their minds can be changed and that polio doesn't become endemic there, which would frustrate attempts to end polio once and for all, which would be a shame.
Going back on topic somewhat, I did submit my picture at the website. Hopefully, it will help.
@novalox – given the "leak" situation that is rampant in US intelligence, I can't believe they didn't realize how damaging this was going to be, if it became known…..now all it has done is make it that much harder to reach these people & put more lives at risk (on both sides of the fence – vaccine professionals & the patients).
I was also just reading that there is a big problem in Pakistan involving Iodized Salt – that some are claiming it is part of an "anti-fertility" campaign against Muslims, but all it is doing is causing huge health problems among children (the lack of iodine).
Crazy exists everywhere, unfortunately.
once again more propaganda. Polio was over 8-% on the decline BEFORE vaccines. In fact if you look at Afghanastan, there so many Polio children that were recently vaccinate. Of course it could not be the vaccine, so they call it Polio -like. Sadly, Jonas Salk admitted on his deathbed that the vaccine caused more Polio than Polio itself.
When you stop defecating in the same water that you drink and bathe in, you will see a tremendous decline. Polio is nearly gone from sanitation. NO VAX…
@(nota)DrS – you are the one that is spouting off nonsense without any evidence to back it up. How can you possibly be so ignorant of basic biology or immunology (not to mention disease history)?
I'm sure Chris will be around to post up the various graphs that show the decline in the incidence of diseases like Polio & Measles (re-posted many times on this blog to refute individuals like yourself, who don't know any better), to show that the real decline (to almost eradication) didn't occur until after the institution of mass-vaccination programs.
Also, given that the eradication of polio is almost complete, the few cases that are found are "laboratory-confirmed" so it is possible to separate out those that are truly infected with polio vs. other diseases that only present in a similar fashion (but aren't polio).
Again, your ignorance is truly showing.
@(nota)DrS – well, for a start:
Care to explain what major breakthrough in sanitation occurred in the United States between 1950 & 1960?
And while you are at it, do you even understand the difference between incidence & mortality rates?
Lawrence, they changed the "medical diagnostic" definition of Polio at the same time the vaccine came out, thus…lower numbers.
@Peggy – and you'll be happy to provide a citation for that, right?
Care to explain what "miracle" of sanitation resulted in the elimination of polio from most of Africa (with the exception of Nigeria) over the past two decades?
(not a real) Dr. S:
Polio was over 8-% on the decline BEFORE vaccines.
Citation needed. But here are the numbers from actual census data (http://www.census.gov/prod/99pubs/99statab/sec31.pdf):
Year…. Rate per 100000 of polio
1912 . . . . 5.5
1920 . . . . 2.2
1925 . . . . 5.3
1930 . . . . 7.5
1935 . . . . 8.5
1940 . . . . 7.4
1945 . . . 10.3
1950 . . . 22.1
1955 . . . 17.6
1960 . . . . 1.8
1965 . . Less than .05
1970 . . Less than .05
1975 . . Less than .05
1980 . . Less than .05
And the CDC Pink Book Appendix G:
Disease: Polio in the USA
Now please point out that 8% decrease before 1955.
Peggy, citation please from you too. Considering that there are three separate strains of polio identified for the vaccine in the first half of the twentieth century, and genetic analysis has improved since then: you really need to explain your comment more thoroughly and with actual scientific citations.
Yeah, crazy exists everywhere, unfortunately. Just look at the trolls in this forum.
But getting to the point, the Taliban's refusal is a more deadly form of crazy, in that innocents may develop paralysis, die, or get killed.
You would think seeing the evidence of their wanton ignorance would change their minds, but the Taliban is stuck in some medieval form of orthodoxy in their minds, and no amount of reasoning or evidence would change their minds.
Just like the majority of anti-vaxxers, come to think about it.
@dr s
You do know that I have saved several screenshots of your threats, right? If you are ever crazy enough to actually carry out your threats, I will email the proper authorities.
@Novalox – this is real proof that anti-vax views kill:
I am usually very altruistic and never wish harm on anyone, but for once I would like some miraculous intervention to strike these brainless idiots down with some lethal disease with a lingering and painful progressive course, accompanied by paralysis below the neck (they are already dead from the neck up).
That is a great tip particularly to those fresh to the blogosphere.
Brief but very precise info… Thank you for sharing this one.
A must read post!

Shot in 180°
Everything around you exists in a 360 degree field of view, our scenes are exactly half of that. WankzVR records and displays a field of view wider than the human eye so you can turn to the left or right, look up or down and see additional content that was not previously on screen.
Head Tracking
Head Tracking is technology that enables your VR device to determine where you head is within the virtual environment. Using this information, WankzVR can sense when your head changes direction or location and adjust what you see on screen accordingly.
Binaural Sound
Binaural recordings reproduce sound the way human ears hear it. The word "binaural" literally means "using both ears." When you listen to a WankzVR scene through headphones, you perceive distinct and genuine 360° sound.
Shot In
WankzVR scenes are recorded with two separate cameras placed the same distance apart as a humans eyes, each video is shot from a slightly different angle, then delivered to each of your eyes. This creates three dimensional depth, just like in real life.

Until I left
August 10, 2016
He neglected, ignored and rejected me…time and time again. And I stayed.
He didn't see me, hear me, touch me or want me…time and time again. And I stayed.
He didn't defend me, respect me, regard me…time and time again. And I stayed.
He didn't understand that I loved, adored and wanted him….time and time again.
Until I left.
August 5, 2016
I am in debt. And being in this debt has been a source of many sleepless nights examining how I got into debt, why I am in debt and how do I stay out of debt. I find myself in a spin cycle.
I grew up just under the middle class, almost poor. My mother worked and we had a one bedroom apartment where she and I had to share a bed until I was about 16 (or when I was not living at my father's home). I remember not having any lunch or lunch money and that was either because of my mother's neglect or we were in fact poor. And our main food groups at home where rice and beans.
I recently ended a long term love relationship with a man who was very wealthy. He gave me a lovely monthly salary, we lived together and I was able to retire and do work that was rewarding to my soul. Work, volunteer work, with charities who focused their attention to the needs of women and children in Los Angeles. I loved that aspect of my life.
I had a wonderful opportunity to advance my own financial security while I was in this relationship but utterly failed to do so. So part of my spin cycle is looking at what my triggers are in needing to spend so much money, and why I failed to take care of my own future and security. In part when I was in that relationship, as I have been in most of my past relationships, I didn't think or want that relationship to end. I was thoroughly committed. I thought he and I would be together forever and I would not have to worry about my financial future.
I was wrong. I was unhappy in the relationship for the last few years, and although I was examining my financial habit while in the relationship I still didn't understand why I was spending so much money.
Part of me wants to blame him because he was not very interested in life, and my attempts to help him get interested failed. So I spent money, and when I did, I got his attention. As negative as it was, for the moment, he was paying attention to me. A cry for help I guess. But neither he nor I had the tools to navigate me away from this call and I sank again and again. We both did.
Another part of me blames myself because I had this open wound of feeling deprived as a child and my inner child had hold of my checkbook and spent, spent, spent. The crazy part (and I think my ex would agree) is I loved spending money on food. I would love going to the grocery store and buying stuff for dinner almost daily. Even now (on my limited budget) my greatest expenditure is at the grocery store, only weekly now. Sure when I was "retired" I loved buying clothes and shoes but that was never as satisfying as buying groceries.
So my sleepless nights have also been about how foolish I was, what a monumental opportunity I had and I blew it away, how am I going to rectifying it now. And change?
I understand now, taking a few steps away from the issue, that in both my relationships, with my mother and my ex, I was neglected. As a child I really had no recourse but in my adult relationship, my recourse was to extend his neglect of me and further it by myself and deprive my need for a secure future.

photos via The Modern House
Avid readers of Midcentury will no doubt recognise this Blackheath townhouse from Issue 08, and I couldn't contain my delight when I spotted it up for sale on The Modern House a week or so ago. Not that I'm in the market for a 'des res' south of the river, but it was such a joy to see even more wonderful images - and a floorplan - of what might just be one of my favourite homes. Head over to The Modern House for more details on this Grade II-listed Span house, its history and architect Eric Lyons.
Oh, and I hate to disappoint, but this exceptional little house is now 'under offer'. Hardly surprising.

"A Big Rock and a Bunch of Idiots"
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art has acquired, in its wisdom, a 340 ton granite boulder that will form the centerpiece of Michael Heizer's massive outdoor sculpture, "Levitated Mass."
LACMA director Michael Govan points out that the huge rock is "only part of the sculpture," which requires the construction of a subterranean slot upon which steel rails will support the rock, I mean the sculpture.
"The largest part of the sculpture is the negative space, the channel in the landscape," he says. "It has its own independent sculptural presence. The marriage of these two forms comprises the sculpture."
When was the last time you got to hear the term "negative space" used without facetiousness?

Best boiler brands
By Matthew Knight
We reveal the boiler brands you can trust. Once you know the best boiler brands, pick the right model for your home using our boiler reviews.
Put us to the test
Our Test Labs compare features and prices on a range of products. Try Which? to unlock our reviews. You'll instantly be able to compare our test scores, so you can make sure you don't get stuck with a Don't Buy.
We ask more than 12,000 boiler owners about the boiler brand they own, how satisfied they are with it and whether their boiler has suffered any faults or breakdowns.
We also asked 166 trusted boiler engineers what they think of each manufacturer and how likely they are to recommend boilers from each brand.
The results enable us to reveal the best boiler brands and the worst, based on our robust research. In this guide, we share what we've learnt about each of them.
After you've chosen the best brand, make sure you read our guide to five things you need to know before you buy a new boiler.
Best and worst boiler brands
Below, we've collated the results of our annual boiler reliability survey and our annual boiler engineers' survey.
You can use our results to discover which brands are the most reliable, have the highest customer score, the best build quality according to boiler engineers, and are the most likely to be recommended by boiler engineers who aren't incentivised to install boilers from that brand.
As you can see from our table, below, there's a huge difference in overall score between the best boiler brands and the worst.

Choosing the best boiler brand
In May 2018, we surveyed 12,191 boiler owners online to ask them about their boilers. We asked them to tell us about any breakdowns, problems and annoyances with their boiler and from this we determined the reliability rating for each brand.
We also asked them to assess how satisfied they were, and how likely they would be to recommend their brand of boiler (regardless of their experience of getting the boiler installed). These two questions form the basis of the Which? customer satisfaction score.
As well as gathering the views of people who own each brand of boiler, we also collect the opinions of heating engineers who work with boilers every day.
In May 2018, we asked 166 Which? Trusted Traders heating engineers about their views on boiler build quality, their likelihood to recommend a boiler brand, the availability of parts and spares, how easy it is to fix a common fault with each brand of boiler, and how easy it is to service them. We show how likely they would be to recommend each brand, above.
If you'd like to read about engineers' views in more detail, see boiler brands rated by heating engineers.

The Beatles are definitely the most acclaimed and successful group in music history. They are the best selling group in history with EMI records estimating their sales to over one billion units. They were also the best selling band in both the UK and in the U.S where they sold over 170 million copies. The Beatles also hold the record of the most number one albums on the British charts. The band managed to achieve 7 Grammy Awards and an Academy Award for the best original song score.
The Beatles were a four man English rock band formed in 1960 in Liverpool. The members of the group included John Lennon, Ringo Starr, George Harrison and Paul McCartney. Their main genres of music were rock and pop although they started out as a skiffle group. The group started small having to build their reputation by playing in clubs in Hamburg and Liverpool until late 1962 when they had their first hit 'Love Me Do'. Their subsequent releases 'Please Please Me' and 'She Loves You' then catapulted them to stardom. They became quite famous with their British fans and by 1964 they had gained international recognition. Their popularity in the UK led to the Beatlemania craze. They then released numerous hit albums from 1965 onwards until their breakup in 1970 when each of the members each released their own album. Their most influential albums include Rubber Soul (1965), Revolver (1966), The Beatles (1968) and finally Abbey Road in 1969.
Each individual member of the group however managed to enjoy great fan support even in their individual careers after their break-up. McCartney and Starr are the only remaining members of the group today and still enjoy great success in their solo careers. Their music was described as unique and original and surpassed their time period since it still a great inspiration to this day.

McNamee, Eugene (2007) In the midst of death we are in life: bio-politics and beginning again in Rwanda. Social and Legal Studies, 16 (4). pp. 483-508. [Journal article]
Full text not available from this repository.
This article, using a framework of analysis based on Foucauldian ideas of 'biopolitics' and Agamben's 'completion' of that notion, together with the more focused theoriza- tions of Mahmood Mamdani, re-visits two basic questions of the Rwandan genocide which have not been satisfactorily resolved by purely materialist analyses of the roots, dynamics and consequences of the genocide. The first is that of why so many civilians participated in the massacres, or to put the question in strong terms, 'how could even the most extreme forms of indoctrination or duress have produced such an outpouring of murder by civilians against civilians?' The second relates to the acknowledged failure by the international community to prevent or stop the genocide, and might be phrased 'how could so many stand idly by when so little could have prevented such untold suffering?' The effort is to examine the plausibility and value of linking together on a conceptual (biopolitical) level the 'internal' questions of why a genocide in Rwanda and why in that way, with the 'external' questions of why non- intervention followed by intervention in the form that it eventually arrived, using in particular Agamben's theory of the relationship between sovereignty and 'bare life'.

THIS year, BOSASNet will launch its Youth Programme, which will include substance abuse and dependency education, awareness activities, and outpatient counselling specially targeted at youth aged 13 to 20.
To introduce this, BOSASNet will focus on youth and substance abuse during the month of February. Often when people speak about substance abuse in Botswana, the 'youth' are mentioned.
However, it is important that we understand why the youth are often associated with substance abuse issues and why we at BOSASNet would like to tailor our services to this group.
The youth is affected by substances (drugs and alcohol) as:
• Children of parents, guardians, or care takers who are users of substances
• Users (consumers) of substances
• Traffi ckers of substances
• Sellers of substances
• Victims of crimes committed by those who are under the infl uence of substances
People who are exposed to substances from a young age have a higher risk of experimenting with and using substances at an early age.
Many youth experience challenges during their teenage years; and as a way to cope, they self-medicate by using alcohol, marijuana, or other drugs to feel better.
Most substances cause physical and mental damage to the underdeveloped and growing bodies and minds of young people. Such early harm can lead to irreversible health conditions in future.
Evidence shows that prevention is better than cure, and BOSASNet believes that reaching the youth before they are exposed to or start using substances is critical to preventing the incidence and prevalence of substance abuse in Botswana.
It is important that children, teenagers, and young adults are aware of the dangers of substance abuse to themselves and others; of their rights and responsibilities with regards to substance use, possession, and exposure; and where to get help.
With this support and guidance, the youth can be empowered to make positive informed decisions now and later.
If you would like to find out more about youth and substance abuse, or about the new BOSASNet Youth Programme, contact us on 395 9119, 7265 9891, www.bosasnet. com, or find us on Facebook.

Hungary is a landlocked country of 93,030 km2 area in Central Europe, in the middle of the Carpathian Basin. It is bounded on the north by Slovakia; on the northeast by Ukraine; on the east by Romania; on the south by Serbia, Croatia, and Slovenia; and on the west by Austria. Two major rivers: the Danube and the Tisza flow across the country from north to south. Lake Balaton, the biggest lake in Central Europe is a favourite target of tourists because of its warm water and nice landscape. Remains from both Roman occupation and much later ruled by the Turks can still be seen in the city. After the Ottoman Empire the union with Austria has a particular influence on the city's form and style.
Budapest have three main parts, Óbuda, the oldest part with Celtic and Roman ruins, Buda with the hills, the most famous area is the historical Castle Hill and beautiful residential area, and the third one is bustling Pest with its shopping, government and commercial districts on the flat plain of the east bank.
The population of Budapest is about 1.774 million, 17% of the country's population. Women contribute more than half, 54% of the population.
Parks and green areas are the most popular places of recreation. Of the total area of Budapest 13.4% is forest and 2.3% is parks. Margitsziget, or Margaret Island is one of the most popular places of recreation. From spring to autumn, hundreds of people visit the island to find rest or active recreation among its trees and bushes. Surrounded by the Danube, the island's 5.3 kilometres circumference is eminently suitable for running, jogging or cycling.
The City Park on the Pest side hosts several major events every year. Created originally to serve as a site for the Millennium Celebration in 1896, the park near downtown Budapest offers entertainment to local people and visitors alike with its monuments, ponds, outdoor restaurants and cafés. Its lanes and alleys and open spaces are is also favoured by sport lovers: cyclists, roller skaters and joggers. Cited as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, its extensive World Heritage Site includes the banks of the Danube, the Buda Castle Quarter, Andrássy Avenue, Heroes' Square and the Millennium Underground Railway, the second oldest in the world. Other highlights include a total of 80 geothermal springs, the world's largest thermal water cave system, second largest synagogue, and third largest Parliament building. The city attracts about 2.3 million tourists a year.
There are those who fall in love with Budapest at first sight and those who only come to love it after a longer introduction, but everyone will agree that this is one of the most beautifully laid out cities in the world. The powerful current of the Danube divides it into two parts, the hills and valleys of Buda on one side and the flatlands of Pest on the other. In spring, Margaret Island becomes a vibrant green patch on the blue waters of the river. There are caves, curative thermal springs and special conversation areas, all in a bustling.
Passing by the Parliament we cross the Danube through the Margaret-Bridge (Margaret-Island) and drive to the Royal Castle on the Buda side, where we visit the Fishermen's Bastion (Promenade) and the Matthias Church after we climb to the Gellert Hill (Photostop), we cross Elisabeth-Bridge and drive towards Heroes Square (Promenade). Passing by the Opera and St. Stephen's Basilica we reach Hotel InterContinental, where the tour ends.

There is an orchestra with no conductor, no management, and no soloists. Called Spira Mirabilis (the logarithmic spiral found across nature, e.g. in shells), the musicians use the power of distributed leadership.
The 'leader' is one big idea, a shared purpose across all members of the orchestra. This frees up each member of the orchestra to identify what needs doing next, and then go ahead and do it. Do it in harmony with all the other actions.With the music reflecting a much deeper collective performance than is possible following a single conductor.

This little light of mine
So while today is (so far) merely a two Brompton day, on Monday I saw a record-shattering four Bromptons around town, meaning three that weren't my husbands!!! (for the record, I didn't see Sexy Brompton or Elton from Harris, so that means there are at least 6 Bromptons in Boston!)
Last spring I saw a wonderful Brompton tail light modification. We have now implemented a version of this ourselves. Here you can see the new Planet Bike blinkie mounted to his rear rack:
Those two brass pieces are corner braces from the hardware store. I think a pack of four of them cost $2.50 but I could be off by as much as 50%. I just don't remember. They hold a Planet Bike Taillight Rack Bracket - you will need a set of screws and bolts (we conveniently had some, if you don't have some plan to buy these too).
The bracket is compatible with Blinky 3,5,7 and Superflash - had I known this I would have bought the Superflash, which is by far the best tail light ever.
Yes, the light is off-center. The holes were drilled into the rack slightly off-center. Don't know why.
Here you can see how the corner brackets and the rack bracket still keep the profile of the light within the Brompton's carrier wheels. This means that the light does not strike anything when the bike is folding and unfolding.
Here the light is safely folded under. You can also see another light dangling from the seat. I cannot find this light anywhere on the web, but I know it's out there. We bought it at Harris but they don't list it. It's great for a Brompton because it is so flexible and not impeding the seat post.
In one weekend we went from one tail light to three. Three tail lights are probably overkill, but given the dangers of cycling Boston it makes me feel better to know that he's visible. The helmet-mounted light moves with his movements (including checking traffic where it can't be seen anymore), the seat-mounted light swings wildly with all movements, and the rack-mounted light is low, but constant, and that's good.
Finally, apropos these darling Bromptons, you must remember:
Ce n'est pas un petit vélo, c'est un vélo qui sait se faire petit.

From what I see in the picture, that dangling tail light looks like the cateye one that has the elastick-y cord and the magnetic on/off switch... I've seen people use it on the back of their helmets (strapped through the helmet vents).

Hi there
I always enjoy reading your blog from sleepy Shrewsbury UK but I especially enjoy any mention of my beloved Brompton. Keep posting.
I wonder if the dangly lights could be either of these, made by Cat-Eye

I've begun to covet a Brompton. I think it was admiring Elton's ride- the clear coat finish showing the brazes really works with the smaller bike (to me)
I also had the fun experience of watching Brompton Rep demonstrate the folding procedure to a couple buying a set of them, only to watch another rep go through the same schpiel a week later in Spanish in a bike shop in Barcelona....
This is a clever way to add a light- are there any limitations to light size to keep it from interfering with the fold?

- Charlotte said...
Anonymous - you're completely right. It's a great light for this application!
Ben, yep - a CatEye. What do you use on your Brompton?
Cycler - Isn't Elton's wonderful? Did he show you his new cranks? I was so impressed. That wheel he built... well, someday. Next time I get to borrow the Brompton I will measure the space between the rack and the edge of the roller wheels.

I'm really disorganised with lights, I have 3 bikes so I try to make them interchangeable. I use an ordinary clip-on LED rear light which I clip to the rear saddle bag (in which the travel cover for the bike is usually stuffed).
I'd supply a picture but my Brompton is in the shop waiting for a service.
- April 9, 2010 at 10:07 AM
You're right, Charlotte, three lights may be overkill, but at least two is an absolute must. On several occasions, I've had a taillight battery die mid-ride without knowing it until I reached my destination. It's good to have a backup.
Another great taillight is the Princeton Tec Swerve: http://www.princetontec.com/?q=node/124
It's VERY bright, has solid and blinking options, and easily attaches to my Brompton's seatpost.
I've been thinking about a helmet light. What light does your husband use for his helmet?
- April 9, 2010 at 1:01 PM
1st saw a Brompton in NYC just above Houston. Saw the little suitcase-like rollie wheels and had to ask. The elastomer shock intergrated into rear triangle is cool——my 5-yr-old niece has a push-bike (no pedals or cranks) with a similar feature.
p.s. Stumbled on to your blog via BNB page——glad you're a fan. :D

As of today, Rejet's special online store, SKiT Dolce, is now open. This is a much nicer, revamped version of their original SKiT store. For those who are new to SKiT, it's an online store that exclusively sells Rejet merchandise. There are quite a few things for sale here that you cannot get anywhere else. Of course, games pre-ordered from SKiT always have a unique tokuten, as well.
Unfortunately, SKiT only ships inside of Japan (it seems there's a 500 yen flat fee), but you can use proxies such as FromJapan to buy from them.

The Importance Of Acting Fast With Plumbing Repairs
Being an Oklahoma City homeowner means that you end up with a long list of tasks on your to-do list, which also means prioritizing which of these errands need to be addressed first. What you need to realize is that if you are in need of plumbing repairs, these should be at the top of your to-do list. Unfortunately, too many homeowners make the mistake of procrastinating when it comes to this, which only makes matters worse.
Minor repair needs can quickly develop into the need for major repair issues, if not addressed in the correct amount of time. So if you know that you are in need of minor repairs that only a professional plumber can address, now is the time to deal with them. Put it off and you could just end up with bigger, messier and more expensive major plumbing problems.
Inspections & Tune-Ups
The best way to avoid major plumbing catastrophes, or even unexpected emergency repairs, is with inspections and tune-ups. This is when a professional plumber comes out and takes a look at your plumbing to look for any potential red flags. They troubleshoot and find ways to improve the performance of your current system and even locate minor repair needs you may not have even realized existed.
This all helps to prevent bigger and more severe problems from creeping up, including those middle of the night emergencies that no household wants to have to deal with. There is no point in waiting until you have major residential plumbing problems to address the need to care for this system in your home. As essential as your plumbing is, the last thing you want to do is neglect to take care of it the way that you should. Take care of your plumbing and it will continue to give you reliable service that you and your family need, when you need it.

Now, if you want the best in quality plumbing service, you need to call on the crew here at "A Perfect Fit" Plumbing & Gas Co. Since 1983 we have been the name that locals rely on in order to take care of their residential plumbing service needs, including bathroom remodeling and water heaters.
