Diverse Organizations and Unions Call on House Leaders to Reject Bankruptcy Legislation
Bill Would Make It Harder For Families Hit By Financial Misfortune To Get Back On Track
March 4, 2003
Travis Plunkett, Consumer Federation of America, 202-387-6121
Joan Entmacher, National Women's Law Center, 202-588-5180
Washington, D.C. -- As a House subcommittee held hearings today on
bankruptcy legislation, a broad array of public interest and labor
organizations called on House leaders to reject the bill (H.R. 975)
because it would erect harsh new barriers to personal bankruptcy. The
bill is very similar to last year's bankruptcy conference report, which
was agreed to by House and Senate negotiators but did not pass either
In a March 3rd letter, groups and coalitions representing more than 225 public interest and labor organizations urged House Speaker Dennis Hastert, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Judiciary Chair James Sensenbrenner and Judiciary Ranking Member John Conyers to reject the bill unless substantial changes were made. Among the many organizations signing the letter were the AFL-CIO, Consumer Federation of America, National Council of Women's Organizations, National Women's Law Center, Leadership Conference of Civil Rights and NAACP.
"At a time when many Americans have been harmed by a very shaky economy, and a massive wave of corporate scandals, moving forward mechanically with last year's conference report would be a mistake," the groups said. "Rising bankruptcies are driven by economic difficulties. The timing of this bill could not be worse." The groups expressed particular concern about the especially harsh impact the bill would have on women, minorities, the unemployed and older Americans. The letter raised several specific concerns with the bill:
- Imposes a rigid means test. The bill sets up an inflexible formula to determine if a debtor can wipe away most of his or her debts in Chapter 7 bankruptcy. A debtor whose Chapter 7 case is challenged due to the assumptions will have to litigate the issue, an expense many debtors cannot afford. A bankruptcy judge would not be able to waive the means test even if a debtor has experienced circumstances beyond his or her control, such as a medical emergency.
- Endangers child support. Despite extravagant claims to the contrary, the bill still threatens the welfare of children. The bill allows more non-child support debts to survive bankruptcy (such as auto and credit card loans), thus forcing custodial parents to fight with creditors for the debtor's limited income.
- Allows millionaires to continue to shelter their assets in mansions. The bill will still permit some rich debtors in five states to declare bankruptcy and keep homes of unlimited value.
- Expands opportunities for creditor motions. Creditors will be able to threaten debtors with costly litigation. Those debtors who cannot afford to defend themselves in court will be coerced into giving up their legal rights.
- Makes Chapter 13 plans to save homes and cars far more difficult. Numerous provisions in the bill, such as requiring five-year instead of three-year repayment plans for many debtors, will increase the failure rate in Chapter 13. Two-thirds of those who enter Chapter 13 plans (and attempt to repay much of what they owe) already fail to successfully complete them.
- Increases the likelihood that debtors will be evicted ¾ even those who have caught up on back-rent. It will be easier for residential landlords to evict a tenant who is in bankruptcy.
- Does nothing to curb reckless lending by credit card companies and other creditors. Reckless and predatory lending would go unchecked and could increase. By making it harder for debtors to wipe away some debts, the bill reduces the financial risk for lenders and encourages them to lower their credit standards even more.
"This unbalanced bill would have a particularly destructive effect on
working Americans who most need the bankruptcy safety net when
misfortune strikes," the groups said. "These include women, who
represent the single largest group in bankruptcy; African American and
Latino homeowners, who are 500 percent more likely than white
homeowners to find themselves in bankruptcy; laid-off workers, whose
numbers are rising; and older Americans, who are now the fastest
growing age group in bankruptcy."
"Our organizations do not oppose legislation targeted at bankruptcy abuse, whether by individuals or corporations, but this bill would harm families who are responsibly using the bankruptcy system," the letter said.
# # # #
The letter to House leaders was sent by the following groups and coalitions: AFL-CIO, American Association of University Women, American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, American Friends Service Committee, Americans for Democratic Action, Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), Business and Professional Women/ USA, Center for Community Change, Children's Foundation, Church Women United, Commission on Social Action of Reform Judaism, Consumer Federation of America, Consumers Union, International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, International Union, UAW, Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, Lutheran Office for Governmental Affairs, ELCA, NAACP, The National Advocacy Center of the Sisters of the Good Shepard, National Community Reinvestment Coalition, National Consumer Law Center, National Council of Jewish Women, National Council of Women's Organizations, National Organization for Women, National Women's Law Center, Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America, Network, A National Catholic Social Justice Lobby, NOW Legal Defense and Education Fund, Owl, the Voice of Midlife and Older Women, Public Justice Center, Transport Workers Union, Union of Needletrade Industrial And Textile Employees, UNITE, United Steelworkers of America, U.S. Public Interest Research Group.

In most of the United States, it is against the law for you to own any wild animals or non-human primates (monkeys) without a permit. However, people sometimes come into contact with these animals. Like other animals, wild animals and primates can get diseases. Some of these diseases, called zoonoses, can cause illness in people. Since wild animals (including monkeys, raccoons, and skunks) can carry diseases that are dangerous to people, CDC discourages direct contact with wildlife.
Learn more about selected diseases of wildlife, including primates.
Wildlife-Related Diseases
- Baylisascaris Infection (raccoon roundworm): A parasitic disease associated with raccoons.
- Brucella Infection (brucellosis): A bacterial disease associated with bison, deer, and other wild animals.
- Giardia Infection (giardiasis): A parasitic disease associated with animals and their environment (including water).
- Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (hantavirus): A rare viral disease associated with some types of wild mice.
- Herpesvirus simiae Infection (B virus): A deadly viral disease associated with macaque monkeys.
- Histoplasma Infection (histoplasmosis): A fungal disease associated with bat guano (stool).
- Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis: A viral disease associated with rodents and house mouse.
- Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection (TB): A bacterial disease associated with deer, elk, and bison.
- Plague (Yersinia pestis Infection): A rare bacterial disease associated with wild rodents and fleas.
- Rabies: A viral disease associated with wildlife especially raccoons, skunks, and bats.
- Tularemia: An infectious disease associated with wildlife especially rodents, rabbits, and hares.
Important Tip!
Enjoy watching animals from a safe distance. Touching wild animals may harm you or the animal.

The Knicks (3-8) loss to the Pacers was very promising. It was the best defensive basketball they've played for four consecutive quarters in the same game this season. Please note that Beno Udrih started at point guard and Raymond Felton was on the bench. Hurray.

The NBA season is young. Teams need time to find their stride. Whatever it may be the Eastern Conference in the NBA (outside of Miami) is looking slow and old. The Western Conference however is thriving. It feels like a turkey overstuffed. Not with stuffing but with talent. Like that the Portland Trail Blazers can […]

Chris Smith is gone to the D-League, but J.R. Smith may still want to defend his brother's honor against Pistons' point guard Brandon Jennings. It is unlikely that the mercurial, and often immature J.R. Smith will say anything beyond a tweet or a twerp to Jennings, after he was hit with a $25,000 fine […]

Let's Do This. By this I mean get a win. By the way, an ESPN commentator say Knicks were foolish to let Lin walk for nothing. Do you agree? Last night he had 34 points and 12 assists. He should be too tired to give our guy Felton much trouble. Don't you think?

J.R. Smith makes his return to the Knicks this afternnon in a face-off with the 5-1 Spurs: Coach Woodson has indicated that Smith, who says he still lacks explosiveness, will come off the bench and be limited to 30 minutes of action for now. Woodson liked the winning starting lineup of Carmelo Anthony, Pablo Prigiani, […]

Andrea Bargnani, the Knicks center/forward, finally showed up in the Knicks 101-91 of the Patrick Ewing coached Hornets. The embattled Bargnani scored 25 points, blocked five shots, grabbed 8 rebounds and dished 3 assists as he replaced the injured Tyson Chandler at center. Coach Woodson was very pleased with Bargnani's play. Woodson also admitted that […]

Tonight, the Knicks tryagain to handle the Bobcats, but this time they do it without their big man Tyson Chandler. In the Knicks102-97 los to the Bobcats on Tuesday, although our heroes cut the score to a two point differential late in the 4th, the Knick continued to fail defensively. It is doubtful that the […]

Is The Knicks' Bad Start J.R. Smith's Fault? The Knicks are 1-3 and it is clear that the Knicks' defense or lack thereof is the major culprit. However, with the injury to Tyson Chandler highlighting the Knicks' deficiencies to start the season, it is easy to wonder where the Knicks would be if J.R. […]

I purchased a couple of books today and was wondering if anyone else had them or had read them before. One is Sheet Metal Fabrication, techniques and tips for beginners and pros...by Eddie Paul. The other is Perfomance Welding Handbook, 2nd Edition...by Richard Finch. I'd like to know what you thought about these books if you had read them. Thanks.

King of the box store welding books. Written by the author of corvair books and how to modify an automotive engine for aircraft use. Largely dis-credited in the aviation world as the material he pushes in the book is not supported by the FAA, or any other engineering text. His book actually does contain some incorrect historical and technical information, as well as some thats on the "fringe" of being truthful. Other then that its got some good pictures. Questions were also raised a while back about some connections he had with the only filler metal supply company that made a filler he said is a "must have" for 4130 welding. Again, to quote a famous and well respected aviation weldor, " Among serious and professional aircraft weldors, Finch is taken with a grain of salt". So in the end, probably a good book for the guy stating out in his garage, but not a source of technical information.

I guess I could have just saved my money then. Granted I am out of my backyard, shop and the pick up, when I get done with it. I'm not building skyscrapers or race cars. Just the little stuff right now. I would at some point like to learn more about tig welding. Working a full time job though kinda limits me with my scheduling and working around the house and doing other odd jobs. Really the only things I know are moderate stick, mig that I have not done in about eight years, and o/a cutting. I'm just kinda fishing around with books for some good information to study up on for later trying out tig, and to brush up on my mig.Bobcat 225

Naw I think you will find it useful. Just disreguard any subjects that seem controversial. Primarily the subjects of 4130 welding and brazing.
Really other then that its just fine! Filler metal charts are kind of odd though.

I agree that Finch's book is better than nothing for the person starting out. It does have some "quirky" parts that confused me for quite a while.
As far as tig, OA welding is a great starting point and if you already have a set of torches you may be all set. Basically the difference is that you use the flame rather than the arc to melt the steel. Learn heat control and filler manipulation on OA and tig will be a breeze. That said I'd by a tig to start rather than an OA set if you don't already have one.
Don't forget local votec schools and CC. They frequently run night classes on welding. My local tech school runs them 1 night a week for 10 weeks, 6-9 pm on Thursdays for mig/ tig, tues for stick. For $200, it's a steal since they provide the rods and some steel. I raided their library for books with my tig instructors permission before class. I found a few useful things, but mostly hands on with someone who knows their stuff is the way to go. I learned more in 2-3 classes than I did in years of teach it to yourself. Wish I had listened to my friends years back and done it sooner than I did.
In my area a couple of places also offer intense 2-3 day classes. Usually for a specific thing say structural mig or ss tig, they do also do " beginner" classes. Mostly this is to get a welder thru a specific procedure that they need to test for at work. The price IIRC ran about $250-350 and they provided limited rods/ material, sometimes just what was needed to do the coupons, other times quite a bit, depends on the class. I've thought about taking a couple of days of " vacation" and doing their tig alum class.

If you're looking for good reference books on GTAW and GMAW, I'd highly recommend ordering the Miller Student packet. The tig reference is excellent as is the book on mig. The $25 (shipping incl) is the best money you can spend for quality material.
If the new posters to this board read those two references, 90% of the newbe questions would not need to be asked.
Just go to the resources tab at the top of the page.

Finch is wrong a lot of the time. He seems to see the entire welding world (and like I'm so fond of saying- it's a big and broad world) from the frame of his limited personal experience. But he's wrong on a lot of info he puts out.
You, or anyone that wants factual info on welding should look closely at the very inexpensive books available from the Lincoln Foundation. Tons of real world, backed by extensive research, information for very few dollars.

PJ Chick In Black Tops All American Futurity Trials
New Mexico-bred wins by nearly six lengths to post fastest time for $2.4-million race.
August 16, 2012
PJ Chick In Black pushed her record to five wins from five starts while setting the fastest-qualifying time to the Grade 1, $2.4-million All American Futurity at Ruidoso Downs on Thursday afternoon.
The 2-year-olds with the 10 fastest times from the 26 440-yard trials earned the opportunity to race for the $1.2-million first-place check in the All American Futurity on Labor Day. The All American Futurity is the world's richest Quarter Horse race and holds the largest purse for any 2-year-old horse race in North America, regardless of breed.
Owned by Dennis Bowen, Susan Taylor with Jack Smith Farms, PJ Chick In Black destroyed the field in the 24th trial when she drew out to the 5 ¾-length win, by far the largest winning margin of the day.
The Esgar Ramirez-ridden PJ Chick In Black's time of :21.081 was the quickest time from the 253 trial competitors.
"She just finally put together a perfect race," said co-owner Bowen. "She's a whale of a horse."
PJ Chick In Black started her career racing against New Mexico-bred competition, winning her New Mexican Spring Futurity trial and then taking the New Mexican Spring Futurity (RG2) by one length at Sunland Park. Her earnings from the $251,359 New Mexican Spring Futurity allowed her connections to pay the $15,000 supplemental fee to race in the trials to the Grade 1, $600,000 Ruidoso Futurity.
The Desirio-sired PJ Chick In Black won her Ruidoso Futurity trial and then took the Ruidoso Futurity by a neck over All American Futurity third-fastest qualifier Krash Cartel.
Half ownership in PJ Chick In Black was then sold by Fredda Draper to Jack Smith Farms, and she was moved from the Carl Draper stable to the John Stinebaugh barn.
The sale and earnings from the $300,000 first-place check in the Ruidoso Futurity were more than enough money to pay the $50,000 supplemental fee to enter the All American Futurity trials. That has paid off with her trial win and probable favorite status in the All American Futurity on Labor Day and, even if she finishes last, she will earn $70,000.
"If she's the favorite, it works," Bowen said. "She is training outstanding."
Joining PJ Chick In Black in the All American Futurity are Grade 1 winners One Dashing Eagle and BP Cartels Alibi.
Ed Burke Million Futurity winner One Dashing Eagle came through in the 26th and final trial with a one-half length win with the six-fastest qualifying time of :21.369.
A son of One Famous Eagle, One Dashing Eagle came to Ruidoso Downs after a 1 ½-length win in the Ed Burke Million as the 3-2 favorite. The sport's number-one ranked juvenile coming into the All American Futurity trials, One Dashing Eagle now has three wins and a second-place finish in his career debut from four starts.
One Dashing Eagle is trained by Jose De La Torre and is owned by the partnership of Gustavo and Jose De La Torre with San Gregorio Racing Stables.
Raymundo Villareal Jr.'s BP Cartels Alibi, winner of the $1,115,000 Heritage Place Futurity (G1), finished in a dead heat for the win with Aha Moment and they share the seventh-fastest qualifying time of :21.385. They crossed the finish line 3 ¾ lengths ahead of third-place finish Coyote James.
BP Cartels Alibi, a son of Corona Cartel, made his Ruidoso Downs debut and his first start since taking the Heritage Place Futurity by a head on May 26. The Blane Wood-trained colt has won three straight races since finishing third in his career debut.
The complete list of All American Futurity qualifiers and their times are PJ Chick In Black (:21.081), Jess A Zoomin (:21.246), Krash Cartel (:21.251), Just Wanna Corona (:21.286), Native Tea Rose (:21.358), One Dashing Eagle (:21.369), Aha Moment (:21.385), BP Cartels Alibi (:21.385), Mr Perry Cartel (:21.400) and Sudden Thoughts (:21.404).

Tips for Mom: They're Engaged!
Great news:Your daughter or son is getting married!
Before you do anything else, take a moment to savor the thrill of this great news.
Finished? Good. Now roll up your sleeves -- because whether you are deeply involved in every aspect of planning the wedding or whether the bride and groom prefer to rely on you as a sounding board while making the major decisions themselves, it's likely that you're going to find yourself juggling the role of advisor, therapist, communications hub and trouble-shooter. You'll need to be able to:
- Keep the planning process on track without nagging
- Offer guidance without being pushy, and
- Be a rock of supportive encouragement -- even if you disagree with the bride and groom on a particular decision.
All this, of course, is in addition to any specific parental responsibilities that you take on, such as throwing an engagement party, spreading the word about gift registries, contributing to the guest list, bonding with your daughter's or son's new in-laws, arranging the rehearsal dinner, negotiating sticky family situations, and welcoming guests at the big event itself.
Finally, there's the issue of who's going to pay for it all. While the parents of the bride are no longer automatically expected to foot the bill for the ceremony and reception, deciding how to split the expenses can be a delicate matter, requiring the utmost tact and empathy. (Click here to see a list of who traditionally pays for what.)
Here are four general principles to guide you through the process:
- Follow the lead of the bride and groom. No matter how many good ideas you're brimming with (or how many you are contributing to financially) this wedding day belongs to the engaged couple. When you offer suggestions, do so with a light touch, and give way gracefully if your suggestion is overruled.
- The mother of the groom should defer to the mother of the bride. In general, the bride's parents lead the way for all of the parents and other relatives. With the exception of the rehearsal dinner, the parents of the bride are almost always the official hosts of the ceremony and reception, as well as the major events leading up to the big day. If you want to throw a party, send out announcements, or contribute to the wedding in some way, always discuss your plans with the parents of the bride first -- then adhere to their wishes.
- Keep backup copies of all key information. Even if the couple is doing a superb job of planning, you'll stand ready to be a hero whenever a glitch occurs.
- Communicate on a regular basis. Regular chats -- whether conducted online or verbally -- allow you to address problems as soon as they arise and also give you an opportunity to provide ongoing emotional support to the bride and groom.
Mother's Etiquette Alert:
Think before speaking. Your child may want to tell certain friends and family members about the impending nuptials personally, so be sure to coordinate sharing the news with the couple before you begin telling one and all. Also, be careful that in the excitement of the moment you don't mislead those you tell into thinking they're going to be invited to the wedding when this hasn't yet been determined. People will invariably ask for details about the upcoming nuptials. If the person doing the asking is on your 'maybe' invitation list -- or isn't on the list at all -- simply reply that the wedding plans haven't been drawn up yet or prepare your questioner for a non-invitation by saying something like, "It looks like we will be having a fairly small wedding ..." Vagueness is always a far better approach than making a misleading comment and causing hurt feelings. "I hope you'll be able to come to the wedding!" should be reserved strictly for people you're absolutely certain you'll be inviting.

I started today with 3/32" 7018 @ 95 amps and I blew through the web??? I mother F'ed you a little bit but kept at it and managed till 1st break. After break I said the heck with the 3/32 and turned it up to 135 amps and started with 1/8". I could not believe it, the puddle stayed where I wanted it and my verts looked awesome!!!! I worked through last break and noticed something else. I went through periods where the puddle would break up and spatter around while doing overhead but staying with it the bead still looked good. While everyone was at break and I kept welding, the puddle jumping stopped. We have a 4 bank of XMT 302's and a 4 bank of XMT 350's all hooked to the structure and going at the same time. Could I be getting magnetic interference while the others are welding at the same time??? Just curious, anyways I would never have turned up the heat that high and I think that was most of my problem. Thanks!!!!
One more question, I have stainless screw conveyors sitting on my mild steel 4X4 stands and we have 1/8" 309 to weld them together. I kept the heat at 135 and it welded great but I just checked Millers calculator and with 1/8" 308 they recommend a max of 115. It really burned in nice and looked totally flawless but am I too hot and will it crack with that much heat?

Shane....Your welcome. Glad I could help. Nice to know you were thinking of me.
Puddle jumping may be due to everyone welding at the same time, and drawing down your machine so you are not getting full amperage. If you think you are experiencing arc blow, keep your ground close. If that doesn't work, try running your ground cable around the beam once or twice. I cannot tell you what direction, you will have to try it both ways and find out. One way will make an improvement, the other will make it WAY worse.
Onto the 309 rod....The settings & rule of thumb that I gave you were for XX18 series rod. 309 is different. If you have access to the packaging, most manufacturers will give you a range to run their rods in by size, and also give you an optimum amperage that you will want to start with. The Soudotec (SelectArc) rod that I have at the shop shows having a range of 90-110 Amps with optimum amperage at 100 Amps for the 1/8".
As for the cracking....Stainless can be a little tricky. I have job specific experience with it, but am by no means anything close to an expert. A light general preheat will help with any post weld cracking, but I cannot recommend that you do that because of the different compositions and characteristics of the Stainless steels.
The best thing I can suggest is to turn down the amperage while welding with the 309, and if you experience any cold cracking, check with your foreman, or one of the lead hands to see if they have any other ideas for you to try that will fall within your job specific approved procedures.....I know, kind of a cop out, but the last thing I want to do, is tell you to do something and you catch supreme heck because of it.
Hope it helps.Later,

Ottawa River Legacy Act Cleanup
EPA and several local partners completed the Great Lakes Legacy Act Ottawa River contaminated sediment from removal in 2010. The cleanup included sediment in 5-1/2 miles of the Ottawa River in Toledo and in Sibley Creek.
About 10,000 cubic yards were removed from Sibley Creek and another 240,000 cubic yards were removed from the Ottawa River. The sediment from the river was hydraulically dredged and transported through a pipeline to the nearby Hoffman Road Landfill. Some "hot spots" in the river containing excessive levels of PCBs exist. About 7,000 cubic yards of sediment was dredged and taken to a specially licensed facility for disposal.

2 (9 inch)
unbaked pie crusts
1 (16 ounce) can
pitted sour red pie cherries
1 cup
1 cup
white sugar
1/4 cup
I gave this 1 star because my husband liked it.
He is the cherry lover not me. I keep thinking I did something wrong because when the pie cooled it looked like cherry SOUP! I had to drain off all the water before cutting into it and there was still more water! I enjoyed the crust and that was about it. I am curious to see if anyone else makes it and has the same problem I had!
Good luck because I won't make it again.
Someone is joking with this recipe adding a cup of water! The juice from the canned cherries is all you need BUT you do need flour or corn starch to thicken the liquid otherwise you'll have a soupie mess. Good Luck!
10 Ratings
I thought to give this a try because it looked easy. I didn't add a full cup of water sinse the other reviewer had trouble with it. I found that like them, It was still a lot of liquid. I ended up having to poor a lot of it off. Next time I think less then 1/2 a cup water will be fine. I might give it a try again but I'm not crazy about cherries to begin with I just had some cherries I needed to use up. Other people in my house enjoyed it. So, if you are going to try this don't use too much water.
This recipe is obviously missing some ingredients. You don't need the water and you need corn starch to thicken it. If you're using canned cherries, you don't even need the liquid from the can.
We even tried to resurrect it by adding cornstarch and gelatin and decreasing the amount of water... It was a flop.
I did not care for this recipe. Save your time and money.
Too wet. Boring flavor. Needs thickener. The recipe resembles a home-ec assignment.
I added no water and even drained the cherries just a bit. I used an oil crust and it wasn't bad. A simple cherry pie with no pizzazz.

Goals: Voyager 1 and 2 were designed to take advantage of a rare planetary alignment to explore the outer solar system. Voyager 2 targeted Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Like it's sister spacecraft, Voyager 2 also was designed to study the edge of our solar system beyond the planets.
Accomplishments: After Voyager 2's flyby of Neptune, NASA formally renamed the entire project (including both Voyager spacecraft) the Voyager Interstellar Mission (VIM). Some year before 2030, Voyager 2 is expected to cross the heliopause-the outer boundary of the vast region of space dominated by the solar wind and the sun's magnetic field-and reach interstellar space. In that sense, it can be said that the spacecraft will be able to sample what space is like beyond our solar system. (If we define the solar system as the sun and everything that primarily orbits the sun, however, Voyager 2 will remain within the confines of the solar system until it emerges from the Oort cloud in another 14,000 to 28,000 years.)
As the spacecraft's power supply dwindles, it will need to begin shutting down its instruments in 2020. Sometime in 2025 or after, there will be insufficient electricity to power even one instrument, and Voyager 2 will continue its eternal journey among the stars in silence.

Recipe by happywife05
"Take this delicious, 5-minute prep, jalapeno cheese dip to BBQs, cookouts, parties, or any other occasion. This dish will make you the most popular person there! Serve with bread, crackers, or chips."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 (4 ounce) can
diced jalapeno peppers
1 cup
shredded Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup
shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup
1 (4 ounce) can
chopped green chilies
1 round loaf
sourdough bread
I am the submitter of this recipe. 1.) Make sure to use real cheese, as the powdered stuff in the green can has a lot more sodium, and will cause the dip to be salty! 2.)If you don't like spicy, or if a lot of kids will be eating this, I would use about 2 oz. of jalapenos. If you like a little kick but not overpoweringly spicy, 4 oz is the way to go. If you can't get enough of the heat and like almost-inedibly spicy, you can try 6 oz. 3.) The best thing I have found to dip in this is sliced french or sourdough baguette. 4.)Also, if you want to use fresh jalapenos, it gives a wonderful texture. Enjoy!!!
Three stars as is but five stars with some easy changes. Having made this recipe several times before, I recommend the following changes/ additions: Substitutie 1 ( 8 oz) package of soft cream cheese, and 1/4 cup of sour cream to replace mayo (mayo is too sweet and sour cream adds a needed tang), bake this in a greased casserole dish instead of a bread bowl and then serve with toasted french baguettes (dough wont get soggy then and dip forms a golden brown layer on top). Divide the parmasen cheese into two half cups. Incorporate one 1/2 cup with the cream cheese mixture and save the other 1/2 cup for a topping (also my addition). Mix 1/4 tsp garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste into cream cheese and sour cream mixture. For the topping, combine 3/4 cup Italian bread crumbs, the 2nd 1/2 cup of parmesan, 4 TBS melted butter and salt and pepper to taste. Once you have transferred the dip to the baking dish, spread the bread crumb mixture evenly over the top. Bake uncovered in a 350 oven for 30 minutes (or until the top is bubbly and golden brown). Serve with toasted baguettes. I would highly recommend doubling this recipe for a crowd. I always run out even after doubling and literally have people licking the bowl. SO GOOD! Thanks!

Woo-eee! Girl, this dip is MONEY! Picked up most of the ingredients for this in the a.m., including a bread bowl which had been marked down. I used Cracker Barrel's 2% sharp white cheddar and reduced fat mayo. Man. My husband and I were fighting over the leftovers. I'm already thinking of when would be a good time to make this again! This one is a definite keeper fo-sho'.
We really enjoyed this one. Instead of a full cup of mayo I used 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/2 cup mayo. Also, I used 5 small jalapenos from my garden for a really fresh taste. Just popped in the oven in a baking dish (did not use a bread bowl) until bubbly and served with a french baguette. Delish... I'll make this next time I have company, if they like spicy.
So easy and great tasting! I made a double batch for my last party and happened to have some left over. The next day, we split some chicken breasts, stuffed them with the dip, then baked the stuffed chicken until it was done. You could also flatten boneless chicken breasts, spread with the dip, then roll, hold in place with a pick, cover and bake. Mmmm!!
Insanely amazing is right! Wow! So good! I usually can't handle much heat, but this tasted so good, I didn't care. I couldn't find a round loaf of sourdough, so I used a crusty Italian instead. I served this to a group of men during their fantasty football draft and it was devoured. Thanks Happywife, I will be making this very often during football season! :)
I made this recipe early in the day to take to a get together. I ran out of time and didn't get to pick up the bread bowl so I microwaved the ingredients at my destination and served hot in my mini fondou pot along side of sliced sourdough baquettes. Everyone thought it was excellent, I even got some "I like this better than that other one your bring" comments.
I didn't use a bread bowl, just make sure to drain the liquid from peppers if not using a bread bowl. I used asiago cheese instead of parm more flavor and medium cheddar, next time I'll use 1 cup of chedddar. I also added 1/2 tsp of garlic powder. Very good! I'll make this often, thanks Happywife!!! ♥

Lower Valley of the Awash
Lower Valley of the Awash
The Awash valley contains one of the most important groupings of palaeontological sites on the African continent. The remains found at the site, the oldest of which date back at least 4 million years, provide evidence of human evolution which has modified our conception of the history of humankind. The most spectacular discovery came in 1974, when 52 fragments of a skeleton enabled the famous Lucy to be reconstructed.
Basse vallée de l'Aouache
La vallée de l'Aouache contient un des plus importants ensembles de gisements paléontologiques du continent africain. Les vestiges découverts sur le site, dont les plus anciens ont au moins 4 millions d'années, fournissent une preuve de l'évolution humaine qui a modifié notre perception de l'histoire de l'humanité. La découverte la plus spectaculaire a été faite en 1974, lorsque cinquante-deux fragments de squelette ont permis de reconstituer la célèbre Lucy.

Toen werden in Noord-Ethiopië 52 delen van een skelet van 3,2 miljoen jaar oud gevonden, die het mogelijk maakten om de beroemde 'Lucy' mee te reconstrueren.

Outstanding Universal Value
Brief synthesis
The Lower Awash Valley paleo-anthropological site is located 300 km northeast of Addis Ababa, in the west of the Afar Depression. It covers an area of around 150 km2.
The Awash Valley contains one of the most important groupings of paleontological sites on the African continent. The remains found at the property, the oldest of which date back over 4 million years, provide evidence of human evolution, which has modified our conception of the history of humankind. The most spectacular discovery came in 1974, when 52 fragments of a skeleton enabled the famous Lucy to be reconstructed.
Excavations by an international team of palaeontologists and pre-historians began in 1973, and continued annually until 1976, and ended in 1980. In that time, they found a large quantity of fossilised hominid and animal bones in a remarkable state of preservation, the most ancient of which were at least four million years old. In 1974, the valley produced the most complete set of remains of a hominid skeleton, Australopithecus afarensis, nicknamed 'Lucy', dating back 3.2 million years. Afarensis has since been proved to be the ancestral origin for both the Genus Australopithecus and Homo-sapiens.
A recovered female skeleton nicknamed 'Ardi' is 4.4 million years old, some 1.2 million years older than the skeleton of Australopithecus afarensis 'Lucy'.
There is a wealth of paleo-anthropological and pre-historic tools still awaiting discovery and scientific study and these are seen as constituting an exceptionally important cultural heritage resource.
Criterion (ii): The evidence of hominid and animal fossil remains discovered in the Lower Awash Valley testify to developments in human evolution that have modified views of the history of mankind as a whole.
Criterion (iii): The excavated paleo-anthropological remains from the Lower Awash Valley dating back almost 4 million years are of exceptional antiquity.
Criterion (iv): The human vestiges that have been excavated dating back over 3 million years provide an exceptional record that contributes to an understanding of human development.
The boundaries of the sites have yet to be defined. The most extensive remains assigned were found in Hadar, one of the localities within the Lower Awash Valley, but the rest of the valley is seen to have the potential to contribute to further paleontological and historical evidence.
Furthermore, the Middle Awash Valley has been the focus of intensive research since 1981 and it is the entire valley that is now seen to constitute one of the most important paleontological and pre-historical sites in the world. The boundaries of the property need to be defined to encompass all the attributes related to known and potential archaeological evidence. A buffer zone needs to be provided for the property.
In spite of its remote location in the Afar Depression, the property is reportedly the target of individual tourists hunting fossil souvenirs and is thus highly vulnerable.
The material authenticity is explicit in the finds themselves. However, due to the nature of the site, it is necessary to hold the unearthed finds in the National Museum. The authenticity of the immediate settings of the finds remains largely intact as a result of its desert location, but is vulnerable to fossil hunters. In order to manifest the complete storey of the finds from this valley, it is necessary to go beyond the current boundaries. Better information on the property is still needed.
Protection and management requirements
An open site, it is naturally protected by the difficult terrain and by the local Afar population. No special legal framework is provided to protect the Lower Awash Valley, except the general law, Proclamation No. 209/2000. This also established the Authority for Research and Conservation of Cultural Heritage as the institution in charge.
The site has no local management, and is overseen from the Afar Regional Office in Asayta, 160 km away.
A museum has been a long-standing aim of the local authorities. One of the principal American research institutions was prepared to build it in 2004, but how it was to be staffed was not resolved.
Through the Africa 2009 programme, some expertise in training, in conservation and management was provided at a regional level. Pastoral nomads live around the property, and it has been considered that protection might be improved by involving nomadic tribal chiefs in an oversight of the large area.
There is an urgent need to re-assess and define the boundaries so as to encompass all the attributes of Outstanding Universal Value, to define a buffer zone, to put in place local protection, perhaps through the local communities, and to prepare an overall management plan that sets out how protection, management and interpretation will be met in the medium and long term.
Long Description
The development that took place in the Lower Valley of the Awash changed the history of mankind. The hominid remains excavated there are characteristic of a unique type.
Most of the Miocene and Plio-Pleistocene palaeo-anthropological localities that have provided information about the ancestors of mankind are concentrated in the East African Rift System. This is due to the fact that volcanic and tectonic activities were responsible for creating dynamic environments for the proliferation of life and the preservation of faunal and floral remains within the confines of the rift. Volcanic and tectonic activities related to rift evolution created plateaus and mountains; most of the sediments in the basins were derived from these topographic highs located within and outside the rift valleys. Lavas, volcaniclastic sediments, and tephra were responsible for the quick burial and preservation of fossils.
However, there are numerous gaps in the fossil record representing an important period (10-5 million years BP) pertinent to the understanding of the pongid/hominid split and the extinction and appearance of numerous taxa. The Middle Awash valley contains late Miocene fossiliferous sedimentary sequences that can fill this gap. Detailed geological, palaeontological, palaeoenvironmental, and palaeoecological studies in the Middle Awash fluvial and lacustrine fossiliferous sedimentary rocks are addressing the environment-related evolutionary issues.
From 1973 to 1976, a team of international specialists working in the Lower Valley of the Awash excavated a large entire of extremely well-preserved human and animal fossils. These remains, the oldest of which are at least 4 million years old, constitute evidence of human evolution which has modified the history of mankind. The most complete fossil found at this site is the remains of the skeleton of a humanoid, certain traits of which link it with the australopithecine species whereas certain others place it with Homo sapiens. The most spectacular discovery came in 1974 at the site of Hadar, when 52 fragments of a skeleton enabled the famous hominid known as Lucy to be reconstructed.
The term 'hominid' refers to a member of the zoological family Hominidae; hominids share a suite of characteristics which define them as a group. The most conspicuous of these traits is bipedal locomotion, or walking upright. As in a modern human's skeleton, Lucy's bones are full of evidence clearly pointing to bipedality. At Hadar the size difference between males and female is very clear, with larger males and smaller females being fairly easy to distinguish: Lucy clearly fits into the smaller group.
The hominid-bearing sediments in the Hadar formation are divided into three members. Lucy was found in the highest of these, the Kada Hadar member. Although fossils cannot be dated directly, the deposits in which they are found sometimes contain volcanic flows and ashes, which can be dated. According to these dates Lucy is dated to just less than 3.18 million BP.
Although several hundred fragments of hominid bone were found at the Lucy site, there was no duplication of bones. The bones all come from an individual of a single species, a single size, and a single developmental age. In life, she would have stood about 1 m tall and weighed 27-30 kg. There are several indicators which give an idea of her age: her third molars; all the ends of her bones and her cranial sutures indicate a completed skeletal development; her vertebrae show signs of degenerative disease. All these indicators, when taken together, suggest that she was a young, but fully mature, adult when she died. No cause has been determined for Lucy's death. The remains are stored in a specially constructed safe in the Paleoanthropology Laboratories of the National Museum of Ethiopia in Addis Ababa.Source: UNESCO/CLT/WHC

Alzheimer's disease is a chronic, slowly progressive, gradual in onset, irreversible condition that destroys brain nerve cells and other structures in the central nervous system. People with Alzheimer's disease slowly develop dementia —a loss of memory and intellectual and social skills that result in confusion, disorientation, and the inability to think, reason, and understand. The decline in cognition and memory results in activities of daily living to performed with increasing difficulty.
People with Alzheimer's disease (and other dementias) have symptoms that can change from day to day, usually getting worse but occasionally seeming to get better. However, people with Alzheimer's disease do get worse over time, especially regarding memory loss (which is the most common initial symptom).
Common symptoms include:
- Difficulty with short term memory (often with maintenance of long term memories)
- Forgetting recent events and conversations
- Impaired orientation
- Misplacing items
- Poor judgment and insight
- Loss of interest in hobbies
- Difficulty with cooking, dressing, shopping, finances
- Changes in behavior and mood
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Irritability
Scientists know that Alzheimer's disease is caused by damage to brain nerve cells, as well as a loss of certain chemicals that facilitate communication between nerve cells. What is still not clearly understood is why this damage occurs.
Brain autopsies of Alzheimer's patients show two characteristic brain abnormalities:
- Neurofibrillary tangles—These are found inside nerve cells in the hippocampus and temporal and frontal lobes of the brain. A type of protein called tau is found within these tangles.
- Neuritic plaques—Located outside the nerve cells, the plaques are surrounded by dying neurons (nerve cells) and contain a sticky protein called beta amyloid. The presence of the plaque seems to be linked to reduction of an important chemical called acetylcholine. Acetylcholine helps neurons relay messages in the brain and is essential for memory and learning.
It has been estimated that over 4 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease and the total healthcare costs are estimated to be over $100 billion in the United States alone. The number of patients with Alzheimer's disease is expected to triple during the next 20 years as the baby boomer generation ages with an associated rise in the economic burden. In most cases, Alzheimer's disease develops in people over the age of 65. Although, there is a rare, early-onset form of the disease that may strike people as young as 30. Nearly all people who have Down syndrome develop Alzheimer's disease if they live into their forties.What are the risk factors for Alzheimer's disease?What are the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease?How is Alzheimer's disease diagnosed?What are the treatments for Alzheimer's disease?Are there screening tests for Alzheimer's disease?How can I reduce my risk of Alzheimer's disease?What questions should I ask my doctor?What is it like to live with Alzheimer's disease?Where can I get more information about Alzheimer's disease?

Not What I Expected
Dec 25, 2013 | By M. F.
On first sight thought the larger 11x17 size was what I could use, but I should have gone with a smaller, more manageable book; however, can use it for larger prints which I rarely paint now. Quality of material and construction of book seem better than average.

For the life of me , I cannot figure out why omar is not sitting in a barber shop somewhere , looking at the classified ads for a job.
For those that have access to tape or the whole game, there was a part in the game wehre it was a goal line situation 2 weeks ago where it showed RT from the LT angle and you see Bess in the slot and his route was to run a slant across the middle and when I get teh chance ill tell yo guys which part of the game it was so you can see it yourself because I was in awe when I saw it.
It LITERALLY took Bess 3 seconds to get off his line and run to his left at most half a yard NO DAMN JOKE I PROMISE. It total he probably traveled 3 yards MAX in those 3 seconds it was unreal how slow he was to get off the line and the best part was the CB was ahead of him the ENTIRE way and the worst part is when i think RT got sacked so lets asy total of 4 seconds game time, Bess at the end of the sack was still in the same 3 yards. Then I rewinded it to see Hartline to compare it to Bess and he probably went 3 yards off the line 1 sceond faster than Bess. I wondered to myself as a QB if i saw my slot man travel only 3 yards in 3 second I would literally question how I signed a contract with this team.
Its hard to throw down the middle of the field when your best option is Anthony Fasano. We must have the smallest most unathletic receivers in the entire NFL. People are talking about that Bess overthrow, it would have been a TD if Bess didn't have 5 second 40 speed. Tannehill threw to the open spot, its his receivers job to get there. If he had put less air under that throw it probably would have been intercepted or batted down.
omar dropping more ignorance...
hoops scoops 2012 season ..."in 2014 ryan tannehill etches his name in stone amongst the games elite qbs"..."ryan tannehill and andrew luck will carry the afc for the next decade plus the way peyton manning and tom brady have this last decade plus"
for the love of god get a real freaking mike already!!!
10-19 yds- Left- 11 for 18, middle- 25 for 39, and right- 13 for 29.
0-9 yards- Left- 23 for 34, middle- 75 for 110, and right- 33 for 45.
Combined- 37 for 68 to the right, 102 for 153 in the middle, and 58 for 97 to the right.
So, RT has thrown 165 time to both sides, and 153 to the middle, not counting the throws behind the line.
the kid threw dimes over outstretched dropping zone lbs on in breaking crossing routes in front of the safeties it's not his fault we have no wr who can give us any run after the catch...how bout the first rive of the game throws a ball against a blown coverage where hartline catches has no one but the safety to make miss and it's 6 points and he's got plenty of time and space to make a move and he gets shoe stringed tackled by air pretty much...is that the qbs fault???
how bout having to run vertical fade routes with hartline who can't even win a hand fight down the field with the oppositions nickle damn corner and go up and get the ball...the criticism of tannehill on here is getting rediculous...hell the only td we did have the kid only had one option and that play takes forever to develop it takes stones against that d to stand in there and wait for fasano to come all the way across of the back of the end zone after being in line...stones...on the what 2 yard line...with aldon smith and the fastest lbs in the league ready to kill you....not to mention the most physical safety combo in football also...
and take a look at the personnel groupings in the red zone...there's not a true win option among them...anywhere...no physical force mismatch high point the ball guy or run after the catch break tackles guy...hartline is on the ground after a catch more than any starting wr in the league maybe...he's always going to ground it seems...bess gets stampeded the second he goes north and south...marlon moore is too soft and runs crappy routes pretty much for a guy with that kind of speed...bush runs a vertical boundary route and has goldston draped all over him tanny reads the over the top leverage and throws back shoulder bush doesn't read it right and the balls 5 yards behind him and everyone says the qb screwed up...no it's called option route based on db leverage and coverage and that throw should have been what it was a back shoulder but bush didn't read it right...
this isn't a one read pretty much passing game like that stuff the skins are running this is a very difficult offense for a qb especially with less than a year of working with the wrs heck the best one he has didn't even practice during camp there is gonna be some confusion and some missed throws when you consider the qb and wr is not always gonna see it the same way and heck we don't have a real win option period...this board i tell ya

What the hell did we have with that slow, over the hill, blocking TE with a backup in Moore throwing to him?
Only a 14.1 average, when he did not have to block for the good of the team. Who woulda thunk it?

Nineteen year old boobies are nothing like I remember them. Back in the day, most girls I knew got teased about their tiny titties. Emma Ray on the other hand, has the big tits and curvy body that would have made her the most popular girl behind the bleachers. Her boobs are the kind of D-cup cones with rosy pink nipples that stay hard even after you're done playing with them. But what really made her homecoming queen are her suck skills. Emma Ray devours cock like an experienced dick swallower, not a girl who needs instruction. She goes after his dick slow and methodical like she's been studying for an oral exam. She looks up with those big brown eyes and without saying a word, she begs you to spill your load all over her full lips and spread it across her pale cheeks. Emma Ray can't quite swallow a cock yet, but if it's up to us, we'll have her getting throat-fucked in no time.

Rectal prolapse occurs when part of the large intestine's lowest section (rectum) slips outside the muscular opening at the end of the digestive tract (anus). The prolapsed rectum can cause fecal incontinence. Surgery is usually needed to treat rectal prolapse.
Comprehensive care. People with rectal prolapse often have other types of pelvic organ prolapse. Mayo Clinic's integrated practice gives you rapid access to all the experts needed to solve your problems. If you need surgery, Mayo specialists work together so that in most cases you have only one procedure.
Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., ranks No. 1 for digestive disorders in the U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals rankings. Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Ariz., and Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla., are ranked among the Best Hospitals for digestive disorders by U.S. News & World Report.
At Mayo Clinic, we assemble a team of specialists who take the time to listen and thoroughly understand your health issues and concerns. We tailor the care you receive to your personal health care needs. You can trust our specialists to collaborate and offer you the best possible outcomes, safety and service.
Mayo Clinic is a not-for-profit medical institution that reinvests all earnings into improving medical practice, research and education. We're constantly involved in innovation and medical research, finding solutions to improve your care and quality of life. Your doctor or someone on your medical team is likely involved in research related to your condition.
Our patients tell us that the quality of their interactions, our attention to detail and the efficiency of their visits mean health care — and trusted answers — like they've never experienced.
Why Choose Mayo Clinic
What Sets Mayo Clinic Apart
At Mayo Clinic, colorectal surgeons examine the entire pelvis to determine the extent of your rectal prolapse and whether you need surgery.
One test — dynamic MRI — is particularly helpful in diagnosing and planning treatment for rectal prolapse. This noninvasive test scans the entire pelvis during a bowel movement and produces a video of the pelvic muscles and pelvic organs at work. Dynamic MRI also reveals prolapse in other pelvic organs, such as the bladder or vagina.
In its early stages, rectal prolapse may be treated with stool softeners, suppositories and other medications. But most people eventually need surgery to repair rectal prolapse.
At Mayo Clinic, colorectal surgeons work with other specialists as needed to treat any other pelvic organ prolapse you have. In most cases only one surgery is needed.
The type of surgery you have depends on the extent of the rectal prolapse and any other health concerns. Surgeons at Mayo Clinic will select the surgery that is right for you. They may recommend one of these procedures.
In children, rectal prolapse can usually be managed with stool softeners or other medication. If surgery is needed, Mayo Clinic surgeons have special experience in minimally invasive techniques.
Children with rectal prolapse should be screened for cystic fibrosis, since rectal prolapse can be a sign of that disease.
Mayo Clinic offers intensive outpatient biofeedback therapy, one type of physical therapy for pelvic floor dysfunction. Specially trained physiotherapists teach simple exercises that can increase anal muscle strength. People learn how to strengthen pelvic floor muscles, sense when stool is ready to be evacuated and contract the muscles if evacuation is inconvenient. Biofeedback therapy can be used before or after surgery. It may not eliminate the need for surgery, but it can make surgery more successful by helping to prevent rectal prolapse recurrence.
Insurers vary in their coverage of biofeedback therapy. Check your coverage before scheduling treatment.
Mayo Clinic works with hundreds of insurance companies and is an in-network provider for millions of people. In most cases, Mayo Clinic doesn't require a physician referral. Some insurers require referrals or may have additional requirements for certain medical care. All appointments are prioritized on the basis of medical need.

Glad to see the jets are promoting within. Steady as she goes
http://espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/stor...-new-beginning"I've come up short, in my opinion, for four years," said Ryan, who will be hiring his third coordinator. "I don't think I've done a good a job as implementing who I am throughout this team. ... I don't think it necessarily has gotten through, from a schematic standpoint, to anything offensively.
"I've failed in that area," he said. "For whatever reason, it's hard to see that, but I think it's clear that's where I've come up short."
Ryan also is on the verge of changing defensive coordinators. Mike Pettine, whose contract is expiring, is out; he will interview Tuesday for the same position with the Buffalo Bills. Secondary coach Dennis Thurman is expected to be promoted to coordinator.
Longtime assistant special teams coach Ben Kotwica will replace the retiring coordinator Mike Westhoff, Ryan said.
Even when Ryan completes his staff, his future will remain a question. He has only two years remaining on his contract, meaning he'll be working for a new boss in a make-or-break season -- a daunting challenge on a team with so many holes.
Ryan said he's not concerned about the lame-duck perception.
Ryan also is capable of captivating the media, which he did last week during his getaway to the Bahamas, where he a photographer caught a never-before-seen tattoo his half-naked wife wearing a Mark Sanchez jersey.
The coach confirmed that he got it nearly three years ago.
"I know what you're thinking: Obviously, if Sanchez doesn't play better, that number is going to change," he said, laughing. "I've been married 25 years and, in my eyes, my wife is the most beautiful woman in the world."
