Parks & Rec teamwork impacts citizens' health
At Tunica Parks & Recreation, the name of the game is "partnering."
Recreation director Billy Willis' involvement with the Regional Health Council and its local affiliate is just one more way the recreation officials have found to reach out.
Even though membership for Tunica County Recreation has exceeded 1200, Willis isn't satisfied.
"We want to engage the entire adult and youth populations," Willis remarked at last month's health council meeting.
He and other rec officials are reaching out to engage churches to "educate and encourage their congregations" to adopt healthy lifestyles. The Henderson Recreation complex most recently hosted a Clergy Walk.

Too many buns
Simon Mayo
Way, way too many buns. They're magnificent of course and the smell of the hit and cross variety is a highlight of Easter but they taunt and mock me from the bread bin. They call to me in the night and I am weak. Soon they will be all gone and fruit and dull breakfasts will return but until then...just one more packet to go...
And as I write 893 posts to the blog while I have been elsewhere, so my guess was hopelessly out. Thanks for keeping it all ticking over so splendidly and Ryan and Richard for doing the shows. I have been very cultural and been at numerous exhibitions, galleries and whatnot. You'd have been impressed (although asking for discount at the Viking exhibition at the British Museum in London on the grounds that my DNA is Viking didn't work out too well).
Book club today with Claire North's The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August. She's not really Claire North but actually Catherine North. I'm not sure why it's been shrouded in mystery and why it is a secret at all but as you know writers are very strange. It's a memorable read. What i can tell you is that Harry August is on his deathbed, nearing the end of his eleventh life, when a little girl appears at his bedside. "I nearly missed you, Dr August," she says. "I need to send a message. It has come down from child to adult passed back through generations from a thousand years forward in time. The world is ending and we cannot prevent it. So now it's up to you."
You'll be hearing a lot about this book, starting today!
And I think we should do FOOTBALL MANAGER oldies today as David Moyes gets the boot today at Manchester United. You might have read/heard/seen something about it. I avoid football stories normally but this is a big one so tunes please! Assuming you all remember how this works...
Have a top Tuesday, see you at 5.

The 'thing' that makes my cup run dry is that I'm a sinner and I'm human. When I go too long without worshiping with my church family, my 'cup' (or my life) runs dry. What I'm meaning is not that I stop becoming a Christian or that I stop loving God, it's that I sort of lose touch with other believers and that makes my life run dry. Going back to what I said, church is not only for me, I like to think I uplift others in my church family too.
Sadly, I have to disagree with you on the gods thing. There is only one God in my life. No tree, rock, animal or object is a "god" to me- although, God did make those things and I do appreciate that and acknowledge that. God is the beginning of everything. He was "around" before the beginning of time- He created those trails that you walk in nature. God is also the One who sent His only Son to earth to die on the cross for my sins and your sins. His death was a gift to us. He paid the price for our sins. My trust, hope and faith is in ONE God. That is where I believe we'll have to stop the discussion. I am not "open" to accept any other views on this- I can respect your stance (and I do) but I do not feel as though God wants me to treat the things of this world as a god - and I lower case god here because there is only one God.
I agree with you on the 50% of the world-view on God. Does that change my mind? No. Are we living in a "lost" world? Yes.
The Bible is God's word. I live my life through it and by it (at least I try to!). Yes, Godly men wrote the passages, but God gave them the words and wisdom to write with. There are no other books that I will live my life by. The Bible is a tool for life. You can literally find an answer to every problem that has ever happened- IN THE BIBLE.
Thank you for the discussion, I am going to continue to pray for you. I am done here. Tator OUT! :)

>> the meeting will come to order. good afternoon, everyone. it's monday, november 19, 2012. this is the land use and economic development committee of the san francisco board of supervisors. my name is eric mar, i'm the chair of the committee. to my left is supervisor scott wiener. supervisor maly a cohen is absent today. our clerk is derek evans. mr. evans, can you please give us the announcements? >> yes. please make sure all electronic devices are off, copies submitted to the clerk. items acted upon today will appear on december 4, 2012 san francisco board of supervisors agenda unless stated. >> thank you. we have six items on the agenda today. but i've been notified by supervisor olague, item number
9:02 pm
5, she has urged us to continue that to item on the call of the chair. that is the resolution to remove all management proposals and activities derived from the sharp park conceptual restoration alternatives report's alternative a18 from the environmental impact report for the san francisco recreation and park department's significant natural resource areas management plan, and to consider proposals and alternatives for the future of sharp park golf course through a separate and complete california environmental quality act review process. so, even though i'll move to continue that to the call of the chair, we still will hear public comment on that item. and my understanding is that item number 6, improved taxi service quarterly report, supervisor wiener's item, that is potentially going to be continued as well. >> for one week. >> for one week. and because items number 1 and 2 are sponsored by our president david chiu and he's tied up in a gao committee meeting right now, hopefully without objection, we can jump to item number 31st. so, without objection, mr. evans, please call item number 3. >> item number 3, [inaudible]
9:03 pm
ordinance amending the san francisco planning code by: 1, adding section 318 to put a cap on the number of efficiency dwelling units, as defined in the building code, that can be constructed with reduced square footage unless the units are group housing, affordable housing, or student housing; 2, amending section 135 (d) and adding section 135.4 to impose open space and common space requirements on efficiency dwelling units with reduced square footage; and 3, making environmental findings, planning code section 302 findings, and findings of consistency with the general plan and the priority policies of planning code section 101.1 -- with reduced square footage. >> thank you. and the sponsor supervisor scott wiener. >> thank you, mr. chairman. today is planning code legislation to the efficiency unit legislation that has already been heard in this committee that other legislation which is at the board of supervisors on tomorrow's agenda is a building code amendment. the companion legislation before us today is a planning code amendment. this legislation is being considered as a committee report, that it can be heard tomorrow as well, and dovetail in terms of timing with the underlying building code amendment. specifically, this legislation before us today is an amendment to the planning code that would establish a cap on the number of smaller efficiency units for the planning department entitled before a study and re-authorization would be
9:04 pm
required. the cap is set at 375 market rate, smaller efficiency units, after approximately 3 25 smaller efficiency units are entitled by the planning department. the department would be required to conduct a study so we can better understand how these units are being used. over the past several months i have worked with others, including board president david chiu, and various community organizations including the council of community housing organization, community housing partnership, the housing rights committee, and [speaker not understood], to develop this compromise piece of legislation. i'm happy to report that we have reached a compromise to allow for the program to proceed. i will also note that the cap does not include student housing, group housing, and affordable housing.
9:05 pm
and then i also want to note that today i am offering some amendmentses to the planning code administration. before i have those distributed, those amendments, i will describe them. the amendments basically speak to the reporting requirement from the planning department as well as to the common open space requirements. in terms of reporting, the amendments before us today include language that articulates what at a minimum the report on the efficiency units should include. these reporting data points are sales and rental placing, a map showing the geographic distribution of the units, data comparing smaller efficiency unit production with stated unit mixed goals and adopted area plans. and a comparison against the regional housing needs assessment or rema goals. regarding the common open space
9:06 pm
requirement, the amendment to the legislation will require at a minimum 10 square feet of common open space for each smaller efficiency unit as defined in the legislation. while i'm supportive of this trial with the initial cap of 375 units, i do believe that these smaller efficiency units can be one of the many solutions to help address the housing affordability crisis that we are experiencing here in san francisco. san francisco has a desperate need for housing across all income levels and particularly in the work force, student housing and other populations. the underlying building code amendment, which is the companion legislation to the item before us today, promotes in my view housing affordability by design, reduced costs for conception are passed on in the form of low rents. and this can be done without subsidies. while we do have a very robust subsidized affordable housing program in san francisco, of
9:07 pm
which i am extremely supportive, it is not by itself enough. the smaller units will be an attractive and affordable option for people entering the work force, for students, for transition-age youth, for the formerly homeless, for seniors, and for various kind of housing, market rate or not market rate. as many as 40% of san francisco households are single people. this could be a great and much more affordable option for them. we know that rents are through the roof now. a one-bedroom apartment in many places of the city is running for 2,500 or even $3,000 a month. large studios are often running for $2,000 or more a month. and many people simply cannot afford these rents. we have a lot of people who are living in roommate situations and sometimes cramming in more people than they probably should into some of these roommate situationses. and i believe people should have the option, if they want,
9:08 pm
to live on their own in a smaller unit with their own kitchen and with their own bathroom. these units will also support a growing national and international trend of what we call cooperative housing where people have smaller private spaces, but share larger centralized common areas in buildings. we're seeing this with various kinds of housing, including senior housing. mr. chairman, i respectfully request that the committee support today in forwarding this legislation today board. and, mr. chairman, if you don't have any comments, we can -- does planning have a report? >> yes. >> so, we'll hear from planning. >> thank you, good afternoon, chairman swedener, sophie hewett planning staff. [speaker not understood] this past thursday, november 15th. at the hearing after public comment, and fairly robust discussion, the commission
9:09 pm
passed resolution 18 747 recommending that the board of supervisors approve the proposed ordinance with several modifications. there has been some confusion since last thursday's hearing so i'd like to take this opportunity to clarify that the commission voted to support the proposed ordinance with a cap of 375 units on efficiency dwelling units. the commission's recommendation was to refine the concept of a cap and that was based on a lengthy discussion about when micro units would count toward the numeric cap, would it be at the time of entitlement, would it be at the time of construction, or perhaps at the certificate of occupancy. further, the commission discussed the reporting requirement and recommended that the board of supervisors clarify the content and the timing of the report [speaker not understood] amendments address that concern. the second modification proposed by the planning commission was that the board not add a new definition to the planning code.
9:10 pm
rather, that the new common and open space requirements should refer to the definition of efficiency dwelling unit used in the building code. third, the recommendation from the commission was that the maximum requirement for interior common space be replaced with the minimum requirement of 10 square feet of common interior space per efficiency dwelling unit and i see that you've added that into your amendment. and then lastly, it was a minor suggestion that the proposed new interior common space requirement be removed from proposed planning code section 135.4 to the planning code section 140. and i understand that that change has been made as well. that concludes my presentation and available for questions. thank you. >> thank you, ms. hayward. okay. mr. chairman, at this point may we open up for public comment? public comment will be two minutes. >> because of the number of items and speakers on other items, two minutes. >> and i have exactly two
9:11 pm
public comment cards on this legislation. i suspect there are more commenters than that, so, please fill out a card. i'll call the two that i have. jamie whit -- whitaker and deborah bennedict. hello, supervisors, my name is deborah bennedict. i'm a housing advocate for seniors and disabled through the senior disabled action housing collaborative. i am here to ask for you to please consider the fact that seniors are not actually the target market for these units and they are not appropriate for seniors. there might be homeless seniors, perhaps, that can use these, but we already have the tenderloin and we already have this development. as the supervisor mentioned, this is against the studies,
9:12 pm
the regional studies for housing needs and the housing needs as proven by a study group is for low-income family housing, not for single individual housing. the tenderloin and lots of low-income housing developers are focused on that type of housing. so, if, in fact, this is for, as the people on the radio said today, successfully used in other cities specifically for young beginning workers, please remove any reference to seniors because, in fact, seniors will not be in this housing. and to pre-he tend or pimp the housing of seniors and the disabled in saying that these 220 square feet is appropriate for a person in a wheelchair with a walker, or with a cane and helpful person is actually adequate needs to be removed in any reference from this ordinance * or from this
9:13 pm
proposal from the planning department. seniors will be living there, not only people that are beginning workers and low-income. please don pimp the seniors and disabled and say this housing is appropriate for them because in fact it's not. a very small population that is not -- that is in decent health at present would be able to be here, but not long-term. >> and before we get to mr. whitaker, i'll call a few more cards. jim lazarus, sarah short, [speaker not understood], and linda chap man. good morning or afternoon. my name is jamie whitaker and i live in the south of market district in the rincon neighborhood. i live in a 43 2 square foot studio the past six years and i can tell you it's challenging to want to spend a lot of time
9:14 pm
in such a small space. and i find myself at dolores park quite often, golden gate park to get that breathing room that i think all human beings really need to have a healthy physical and mental state. the concern i have, cap or no cap, i just don't believe that that sized unit belongs in an area that isn't an established residential area like south of market. south of market has over 40,000 residents and 40 acres of parks managed publicly, not by cbd but recreation and parks. that's 1/10 of an acre per thousand residents as it stands now managed by recreation and parks. the green envy report produced in 2007 by the former neighborhood parks council has very well detailed. district 3 and district 6 are yearning, aching for more green space. and without that green space,
9:15 pm
i'm not sure it's humane to have such small units in those spaces. now, maybe along the jay church line, maybe along the l, the m, the t, the kt, maybe that's the spot for these efficiency units where there's parks and stuff. i do have an overhead that i want to show. the congestion in south of market has created a health problem, an air pollution health problem. locating most of our affordable housing these days, 35% of the 3,000 units being built in transbay will be in this area where the particulate matter in the air is already unsafe levels. we need congestion pricing first. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. supervisors, jim lazarus, san francisco chamber of commerce. we support this legislation. we believe it is an appropriate experiment, if you would, on smaller size efficiency units. the housing needs of all in the
9:16 pm
1920s and 30s, the studio apartments that are so preach leapt in the tenderloin, nob hill, pacific heights, when those apartments were built was a new form of housing for individuals that leaving home for the first time. and if we have an opportunity now because as you said, supervisor wiener, we have a lot of multi-bedroom units that are not being occupied by families. any of us with young adult children know that they're living 3 or 4 to a unit in san francisco to make it affordable. but they're taking units out of supply for families because there's 3 or 4 unrelated adults living in an apartment. if we can move some of that into units like this and if this experiment works and they are attractive and people will occupy them, i think that will reduce some of the burden we have on existing multi-family homes and new multi-family apartments, multi-unit, multi-bedroom apartments. that will be developed in the future. so, it is an experiment worth
9:17 pm
pursuing and we urge the board to adopt it. and i would also like to congratulate supervisor mar on a tremendous victory in his reelection. >> thank you. i, too, would like to thank and congratulate supervisor mar. and i would like to thank supervisor wiener for working on this kind of legislation. the biggest concerns that were expressed in cfsf land use committee were about family housing, that maybe this would free up family housing because a lot of people are living in places that are all split up. it's not even like communes or friends back in the '60s, but people have a little room with a lock on the door and they don't know each other in many cases. a concern was whether there is going to be sufficient common area. i think that really needs to be looked to. there is a provision now for common area. it does say it could be an exercise room. it could be a kitchen or something like that. there really needs to be lounge
9:18 pm
area. at ucsf where i spend a lot of time, they have wonderful lounge areas. people are living in dorm rooms, but they have all kinds of open common space that they can go to, even if there can't be exterior space, there certainly can be interior common area. i want to say, too, this is not really a radical experiment at all. the single marketplace was where people lived in san francisco. people i lived with, people who are my friends, my brother and others, people whom i know even now still live in those. apparently what happened in the '70s was when the mental hospitals closed and people moved into those hotels and changed the atmosphere of them, they began to be thought of as an inferior form of housing for poor people. this is the place that people whom i knew who were single lived. and either they were places that had food downstairs like a residence club or they ate out in restaurants. and the size, i don't see being really -- the friends in my building, we had several where i lived in a co-op, we had
9:19 pm
several of these for rent. they were well used by older people or students, variously. there are others on nob hill and entire buildings on nob hill, as long as they are not taking up vast areas of land where families actually could be built. good afternoon, supervisor wiener and mar. i'm sarah short with the housing rights committee of san francisco. we are one of the organizations that in coalition with others raised some flags about this proposal in its original form to amend the building code. and those included some unintended consequences and just general sort of fears we had about what this might look like. it's micro units proliferates in our city and particularly we're concentrated in areas such as south of market. that included the potential for escalating rents in the
9:20 pm
neighborhood, displacing families who currently live there. a drain on public resources with the increased density, et cetera. and i'm happy to say that we brought those concerns to supervisor wiener and were able to sit down and produce this compromise proposal. i'm grateful to the supervisor for hearing our concerns and working with us to craft something that i think we can all live with. what this does is allow us to try this experiment. maybe it will really be helpful in serving a certain market niche. maybe it will relax the pressure on the housing market. but in case those horrible things that we dreaded happening were to occur, it will not happen in a large scale with a large impact on our communities. and it was just too much of a risk to go whole hog and unbrideled on this. so, thank you very much for,
9:21 pm
again to supervisor, and to all my housing advocate partners for sitting down and working this one out. i think this was a really responsible way to do public policy. thanks. good afternoon, supervisors. my name is angelica [speaker not understood], and i'm with the south of market community action network [speaker not understood]. along with sarah, we [speaker not understood] was an organization that raised a lot of concerns about building efficiency units without a cap because of numerous concern aside from what sarah talked about. a previous speaker talked about there was a lot of increase in the south of market. the population increase, over 30%. we want to make sure that there's adequate analysis and thinking and really planning around the different amenities
9:22 pm
and public infrastructure that the neighborhoods need when there is population increase in the area along with traffic congestion. and also we had a lot of concern around how this is going to impact the affordable housing. we're still not convinced that this might alleviate people from not doing roommates because a lot of people does roommates because they want to keep the rents under 800. a lot of students inform us they cannot use their tuition fees or tuition things to housing. they actually still have to get a job. so, there is a need for affordable housing for families, students, seniors and everyone. therefore, that's why we worked diligently with our allies and you supervisors to ensure that we have a cap to really see and analyze that this is a need.
9:23 pm
and we really appreciate you hearing our concerns and we look forward to working with the planning staff to actually look over those analysis. thank you again and we hope to -- that you support this legislation. >> thank you. i don't have any other cards. so, if anyone after mr. cohen is interested in speaking, you can just go ahead and line up. good afternoon, supervisors. tim cohen on behalf of the housing action coalition. i'd like to support the proposed legislation for new housing product efficiency dwelling units with one important exception. we have said repeatedly that edus are a logical necessary response for badly needed new housing in an extremely expensive housing market. edus have long been common in other countries and are now starting to appear in other u.s. cities. they make perfect sense for a dense land constrained city like ours. unfortunately, the proposal is seriously undermined by the idea of a 375-unit cap on
9:24 pm
market rate edus. it's poor public policy for two reasons. first, while hack could in principle support a threshold that would trigger planning department review, it is simply not possible what could be understood from such a very, very small sample size which is really 1/10 of 1% of the city's housing stock. what conclusions would planning staff be able to reach by studying 375 units? we dispute that that's a statistically valid sample. second, the 375 unit cap sends exactly the wrong message to the market rate builders and lenders. a cap this small conveys in a fairly direct way the city does not support this type of housing, may soon close the window on it, and investors should proceed at their own peril. more generally this hyper cautious approach to new housing while common in san francisco is frustrating to our members. it is yet another example of the contradiction between the values we espouse and the
9:25 pm
policies we adopt. while as a city we claim to support housing affordability, especially for the work force and middle class families who have a long-standing tendency to adopt policies that actually result in making housing scarce and expensive, never more so than today. in conclusion, we think this is a good idea. it's long-overdue and should move forward, but we have great concerns how this cap is going to be interpreted. thank you. >> next speaker. good afternoon, supervisors. i live in district 6. i really like the area i live in because it's close to a lot of parks in the city i need to go to, especially city hall to come see y'all. and i feel like, well, since it's south of market, i'm throwing the idea out there. i know you may think it's kind of silly for me to say this. but since it's going to be south of market, why don't you utilize that building on the corner of sixth and howard with all those little things on that
9:26 pm
side? you know, especially since this is going to be experimental, right? so, you know, you have a lot of old buildings anyway. just renovate that since they say it's going to cost a lot of money to do anything with that building anyway. so, sixth and howard that is an up and coming area because they're putting a police station. they have a subway. it's close to end up. it's close to -- what is that grocery store down there, whole foods or whatever it is. so, it's a very up and coming area. so, that money could be spent since it's experimental units, and the s-r-os, i don't see a difference in s-r-o and that except you have to have an id to go in an s-r-o. it's no different than an sro and what you're talking b. so, it's just an idea i'm throwing at y'all because it could be a good building, you know. thanks. >> thank you very much. next speaker.
9:27 pm
good afternoon, members of the board. peter cohan, council community housing organization. just here to support the compromise measures that's come forward. thanks, supervisor wiener, for working with the housing committee and other members of the board. it was refreshing to see the planning commission strongly support this measured approach last thursday. so, let's see how it comes out. this is an experimental new typology of housing, if you will. the importance will be to learn from what comes out of this first, if you will, pilot phase so the reporting requirements will tell us a lot. and we'll be very informative to the next steps going forward. that's feedback loop is something we want to give you detailed input on. but what's come out from this long process is now before you and the full board is a good compromise. thanks very much. >> thank you, mr. cohen. good afternoon, supervisors. congratulations, supervisor
9:28 pm
mar, for your brilliant reelection. and thank you, supervisor wiener, for bringing this up. as tim cohen said a little while ag i am concerned also. i do work a lot with the construction industry. i'm concerned if we only allow 375 units to be built, it ain't gonna happen because people -- bankers might say, you know what, this is great, but what's going to happen after this? [speaker not understood]. i'd like to say go forward but i think we really should think about expanding it. thank you. >> thank you. is there any additional public comment? seeing none, mr. chairman, may we close public comment? >> yes, public comment is closed. >> i want to thank everyone who came out today. i really want to particularly thank sarah short and also gail gilman from community housing partnership who wasn't here today who were very, very deeply involved in the negotiations and were really
9:29 pm
good negotiating partners in trying to work out this compromise. i also want to again thank president chiu who was also very supportive and helpful in helping all of us move to this process. i just had a couple final points. first of all, you know, i think we all -- a lot of people have it in our heads we would love for everyone to live in a single-family home or some really big spacious flat. and unfortunately that's not the reality of 2012 san francisco. very few people who are not fortunate enough to have bought or rented a large place a long time ago can afford to do that. it's just not an economic reality in san francisco and we need to be housing everyone, not just the people who are lucky enough to be able to afford or to have spent a

Rawalpindi: Remand of POF blast accused extended
RAWALPINDI: Anti Terrorism Court (ATC) No II on Monday extended for 14 days judicial remand of a suspected terrorist who was arrested by Wah Cantonment police for his alleged involvement in two suicide attacks on Pakistan Ordnance Factory (POF) on August 21 that killed over 75 people and injured over 100. Judge Sakhi Muhammad Kahoot sent Hameedullah Mehsood of South Waziristan Agency (SWA) to jail after Wah Cantonment Police Station house officer (SHO) sought judicial custody of the accused for 14 more days.
The SHO told court that charge sheet against the accused had been prepared but it was being checked and the accused was not presented before the court due to security risks. The court adjourned hearing into case till October 13. The police have kept the accused in custody for 27 days after he was arrested on August 21 following the two suicide attacks.

A color palette defines everything you do: eating granola, watching Mad Men, and flipping through album covers and sliding out a record. The designer Nigel Dennis, clearly a considering guy, decided to trade on his ordinary experiences and use them to define a project he calls "The Day's Color." He distills a random experience from each day of his life into a simple collection of seven hues. Each day, he uploads these palettes to a website. In short, it's a celebration of color.
Conceptually, it's much more. What emerges in the project is a new, and surprising, take on experience. You can't help think twice, and reconsider, those experiences as Dennis breaks them down—into pure, organized color profiles.
"I really wanted to get down to the true influence that my surroundings have on me, by focusing on the colors and hues of my everyday experiences," Dennis tells Co.Design. "It's a challenge making sure I capture what I feel is the essence of each subject through color."
By separating objects and activities from their most basic visual ingredients, Dennis offers a minimalist interpretation of often maximalist works of art, music, and cinema. When color-profiling music, Dennis boils down the color schemes of his favorite album covers: Radiohead's Kid A, Peter Gabriel's So, The Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour. Films, including Her, The Master, and 2001: A Space Odyssey, get a similar treatment.
Some of these color schemes are immediately recognizable, such as the whites and blues of iOS 7. Others are more subtle—the muted family of beiges and grays inspired by the haunting credits of HBO's True Detective; the blues, greens, and browns distilled from the landscape of Lake Michigan; a scheme inspired simply by "dinner." As a whole, the project is a meditative study in how color can determine the mood or flavor of an experience in ways we might not anticipate.
The palettes themselves are reminiscent of legendary color theorist Josef Albers's experiments in The Interaction of Color.
"I will keep on until I'm tired of it," Dennis says. He plans to update the site soon with monthly books and prints for sale.

Low-Fat Milk Does Not Prevent or Reverse Childhood Obesity
The choice of low-fat over whole milk does not lower obesity rates in children, according to a new study published in Archives of Disease in Childhood. Researchers examined milk consumption and body weight in 10,700 children at ages 2 and 4 as part of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Survey, Birth Cohort (ECLS-B). Those children who drank 1 percent or skim milk were more likely to be overweight or obese. The American Academy of Pediatrics' recommendations to choose low-fat milk as a way to manage weight appear ineffective. Although skim milk is somewhat lower in calories, compared with whole milk, it remains highly caloric, similar to soda. The authors note that milk should not be the only consideration in obesity prevention and suggest other risk factors, such as parental guidance, high-fat diets, and lack of exercise, play important roles.

text: Home > Global Filipino DFA: 3 abducted Pinoy nurses in Libya rescued ABS-CBN News Posted at Jul 12 2013 11:20 AM | Updated as of Jul 12 2013 08:14 PM Share Save Facebook Twitter GPlus LinkedIn Pinterest MANILA, Philippines - The Department of Foreign Affairs on Friday said three Filipino nurses abducted in Sebha, Libya have been rescued. In a text message to reporters, DFA Assistant Secretary Raul Hernandez said the nurses were rescued after one managed to escape and seek help. "The nurses were reportedly shaken but unharmed," he said. According to the report of Philippine Ambassador to Tripoli Oscar Orcine, one female and two male Filipino nurses were abducted at around 9 p.m. on July 8 in downtown Sebha by a male Libyan. They were driven to an isolated area at the outskirts of the city. "At about 10 p.m., one male nurse was able to escape and sought help from a Libyan family who called in the police. At 11:15 p.m., the other 2 nurses were traced and rescued, then all 3 nurses brought to the police station for debriefing," Hernandez said. The abduction was witnessed by the nurses' frequent Libyan taxi driver, who then informed their other colleagues in the hospital who in turn informed the Ambassador. Ocine also sought help from the police. Hernandez said the nurses will be going to Tripoli to rest, while Ambassador Orcine will bring the matter to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ensure better security for Filipinos in the country.

Based on the threat there was a warrant for his arrest for harassment but he's telling everyone we know or that may know me that I came to his job and got him arrested for a motorcycle that I owned which he had possession of. That is not true, I came to get the motorcycle and the police ran his name and mine and realized he had a warrant and arrested him after I left with my motorcycle. I have people calling me everyday asking me why did I get him arrested as though he did nothing and now I still feel harassed though he's not the one calling me.
Let your lawyer handle this. If you do not have one yet, get one. Things are beginning to get ugly.

Welcome to Caerwent Playing Fields Association Website
Welcome to the new look website of the Caerwent Playing Fields Association Ltd.
The Playing Fields committee is made up of local volunteers who manage and maintain the Village Hall and adjacent playing field.
Events are organised throughout the year from car boot sales, to theatrical performances and the annual village show.
Money made from these events go towards the upkeep and maintenance of the hall and to provide equipment for community use.
The hall can be hired for private and public functions and details of costs are available on this site.
We will be using the website to publicise our events and to keep the local community up to date with news and activities ongoing locally.
We are a small group and rely on the goodwill of our members, and we are always looking for new members to join us with fresh ideas and suggestions.
Can you spare us some of your time to bring entertainment, culture and fun to the residents of Caerwent.
Forthcoming Events
Car boot sale start again on 2 April 2016 and repeated every first Saturday of each month for the remainder of the summer.
Full details of dates can be found on our Car Boot page.
Family Friday's return starting 1st April 2016. Look out for details
Plans for the BIG SHOW are well underway so put the date in your diaries.
Saturday 20th August at Caerwent Village Hall and Playing fields.
If you wish to be involved either performing, selling or lending a hand please contact us
We now have a start date for our work to improve the facilities at the hall.
Work will commence on 18th April 2016 and last for about 24 weeks.
Initially use of the inside facilities at the hall wont be affected but they may be some disruption as the project progresses.
We will attempt to keep the Main Hall open throughout but the bar area and kitchen are likely to be out of use for a longer period of time.
We are required to follow the Health & Safety advice given to us during the building work and will be guided by this advice in relation to any closures.
Access to the field from the hall will be restricted to the main entrance way but the field itself will be open throughout the works.
We look forward following this work to have a modern, functional facility for the next 40 years.
Your patience is appreciated during this period and if you have any queries regarding the availability, please email our booking clerk on

Raymond Blanc is such a hyperkinetic figure – dashing impetuously here and there, flitting about his kitchen at the Manoir aux Quat'Saisons for the TV cameras, prodding and encouraging his sous-chefs – it's hard to imagine him sitting still for long, let alone lying down during an interview. But to be fair, he had recently broken his leg. In five places.
"Eet was seven in zer morning," he recalls with a cringe, "at home [in Oxfordshire] I was saying goodbye to Natalia, my partner, and I took four steps back and fell down zer stairs. I land on the floor like zees [he demonstrates] and I have created a spiralic fracture at zer tibia and three fractures on the fibula. Because I am a ver' creative man."
Even when recreating his physical wreckage, M Blanc keeps up his accustomed level of puckish humour. And he really does talk like that, all zer time, despite having lived in England for 35 years. You suspect that it may be completely put-on and that, if he wanted to, Blanc could speak like Trevor McDonald. He possesses an English vocabulary as large as Shakespeare's, and deploys most of it in a torrent of fluency, as he surveys his career in 2010: a quarter-century of running the two-Michelin-star Manoir, almost 10 years of Maison Blanc patisseries (bought out in 2007 by KFG, who called Raymond onto the board a year later), umpteen television series, most recently Raymond Blanc's Kitchen Secrets, umpteen books (especially his autobiography, A Taste of My Life, 2008) and a reputation as a non-swearing, non-bullying mentor of young chefs and honorary English, all-round bon oeuf.
"I was in hospital for two-and-a-half weeks," he said (perhaps we'll drop the exact transliteration of his voice) "and there was a period when I lay, confused, institutionalised, helpless, full of drugs, and wondered – why? I'd pulled a muscle three months earlier. Why? My life was happy, everything was going so well – then this happens, twice. Then I remembered that, years ago when I was 42, I had two mini-strokes induced by stress and overwork and spent one month lying on one side. In consequence my left side is weaker, my co-ordination is poor. So I said to the surgeons and physios, you must mend me, repair me, work on my left side and create a balance on both sides. Now there's a whole team of people working to make me better. I realised I'd been going too fast, taking on too many things. I had to learn to delegate more, take on fewer tasks. My team will soon see a different Raymond Blanc." I wonder. It's hard to imagine Blanc slowing down for a second, or having less than a dozen projects buzzing in his head simultaneously.
At present, though supine, he's masterminding the creation of an orchard at Le Manoir, and a brand of spring water, L'Eau Manoir. He's just finished designing the bottle – and "a wonderful pane of glass in the conservatory – it shows an espalier tree, with the top clear glass so you can see through it, and the rest frosted. The apples will be umber-red, green and blue, to match the dark blue frosted water bottles. And we'll make a beautiful tumbler in the same blue, big enough for a lady's hand to hold ... "
How he loves the Manoir, where his taste is stamped on every curtain pelmet and cushion. How he loves showing off the wallpaper designs and hotel décor. "What I'm trying to create here is an environment truly conducive to joy," he says proudly. "It's about a lot of little things piled on each other. I've passed onto so many people the same philosophy, of elegance rather than luxury, intelligence rather than cleverness ... " He isn't keen on his brainchild ("It is my greatest triumph") being called a shrine to food and comfort. "A shrine is a temple full of ancestors looking down on you. I rid myself of them a long time ago. They're dead. This is an environment for celebrating life." I asked him about the moment on Kitchen Secrets when he was filmed at a duck-shoot, failing to blast a single flapping mallard out of the sky. Was it, I asked, true that he was a rubbish shot, or did he not wish to harm his reputation as le charmant Raymond with the lovely smile?
"No no no," he cried. "I'm a hunter-gatherer for God's sake! I cannot be something else. The British are so squeamish about such things, so hypocritical about food. It's time we changed that. The whole food-chain system has taken us away from the actual food. We're not prepared to know where it comes from."
He remembers his idyllic childhood in a village near Besançon, capital of Franche-Comté in eastern France, where "the first thing I was told was, it was my job to kill the chicken. There were chickens, two or three years old, perched on the lower branch of a tree, and I had to chase them and bring them home. I was told, from the age of eight or nine, to kill the chicken. You had to take it between your legs, pull the neck, slash it with the knife, bleed it but keep the blood. This was a chicken I saw every day. I'd grown up with it. But I knew it was food. The French don't see a chicken as a pet." After living in England for 35 years, Blanc still cannot get over his friends' love of their pet rabbits and hens.
Blanc thinks it's about time British people could be more responsible about the food they consume. He'd love, for instance, to see English consumers demanding English apples from fruit retailers – "but how would that translate to a householder who earns £2,000 a month, has three kids and a mortgage, and had been told for years it's okay to buy cheap food? How do you tell him that, from now on, he'll get his apples from Kent or Dorset, and will have to pay 20 per cent more for them?"
Perhaps inspired by the Manoir's new orchard, Blanc is furious about apples and modern corruption. "Remember the Golden Delicious, the French apple which destroyed the English orchards? It had a high sugar content, it was extremely sweet, it was so commercially viable, it took over the whole English market," said Blanc. "Now the Chinese are doing the same, but bigger. They've created the an apple to seem perfect – they're all the same size and shape, every single seed is coated with pesticides to step them having any form of disease -- and that's what we're buying. We buy through our eyes not our brain or heart or conscience. The Chinese apple will take over the world. But there will be a socio-economic and a health impact, because this is a bad apple. It's full of residues and things that may induce cancer in the long run. Aristotle said, 'Let food be your medicine,' but we've stopped thinking in such terms. To British people, the only values that food possess are cheapness, convenience, shelf life and never mind what's in the stuff, provided it looks right."
Whew. M Blanc in full rant is an impressive sight. But even while delivering these tirades he remains tremendously courteous, welcoming the woman who's come to water the living-room flowers ("you go ahead, my lovely") and the young chef with some urgent query ("you wouldn't think it but I'm working here, mon petit"). In the 10 years that have passed since he was last seen cooking on TV, he's been at his flagship restaurant, tirelessly training up chefs to Michelin-star level – 23 of them. It's quite a record. He's like a gastronomic version of the venerable teacher in James Hilton's Goodbye, Mr Chips (Au Revoir, Monsieur Frites?) Did he wish he'd expanded into bigger restaurants, as Gordon Ramsay and Alain Ducasse did, and opened in Paris and New York?
Does he hell. "The last thing I wanted to do was build an empire. Empires by their nature are about greed, expansionism, and they're always going to fall, eventually. And I was never interested in going to Paris or New York. Believe me, I could've opened there any time, but I said no. I wanted to stay in Britain. I feel very comfortable here. I know my guests well, my children were born and schooled here, my friends are here, it's my heart."
Blanc is, he says, a craftsman by nature. He became an entrepreneur by accident, and has become a brand by a similar caprice of Fate. "I was totally self-taught," he recalls. "I never held a frying pan in my life before I took up one in a pub called the Quatre Saisons in Summertown, Oxford. It changed my life." Three months later, he and his wife, Jenny, "saved our money, mortgaged the house and bought this little corridor between a ladies' underwear shop and an Oxfam shop. It was awful. We had nothing. We owed money to 18 people ... "
Didn't he have some kind of mentor at the start? His best guide was a cookbook called Cooking in 10 Minutes, by Edouard de Pomiane. "He was an old Professor at the Sorbonne, a wonderful, vociferous man with a bald head but big tufts of hair. His special subject was the DNA of horses. But he wrote about all the values I share and I love his generosity and humour." De Pomiane died in 1964, but his classic book (offering 228 recipes in 150 pages) is published by Serif, with a loving foreword by Blanc.
As we parted company, I asked him, what do you like about British culture? He considered. "What I like? First, your ability to laugh about yourselves, which the French don't have. Second, the British sense of humour. It's comfortable. Third, I love your ability to recognise your mistakes, The French don't know how to do this. We always have to be the best. Fourth, you argue much more rationally. We argue with passion, and when you do that, you're bound to make mistakes. Most of all, you listen while other people speak, and in France you cannot, which creates problems because in the political world, the cultural world, the family world, everyone speaks at the same time. It's a complete cacophony. The British listen better, so there's a fair chance for everyone to pass on their views."
Did he feel very English now? He looked at me with very French, je m'en-fou-tiste incredulity. "Non, definitely not, no way, no way."
But surely, after 35 years? "When I first came to England, I thought the French were a universal race who should rule the world. Living in a multicultural society has allowed me to be a better Frenchman, to keep my French tradition and enrich it with other cultures. So maybe I can say I'm 100 per cent French and 20 per cent British. The 20 per cent is important. It means I'm not the arrogant little bastard Frenchman who thinks he knows everything." He scratched his wounded shin. "Oui, that makes perfect sense."

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/forum.php)
- Tropical Fish Diseases (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/tropical-fish-diseases/)
- - Betta and Popeye (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/tropical-fish-diseases/betta-popeye-47856/)
Betta and Popeye
Alright, this is the second time my Betta has got Popeye. All my water parameters are excellent and I do weekly 20% water changes on my 29 gallon tank.
He first had Popeye so I put him in his original betta bowl and treated it in about a week
I put him back into my 29gal community tank and he developed ich so I treated the entire tank as per instructions on the bottle and it went away easily and no other fish caught the ich.
He now has Popeye again in the same eye after doing a water change the day before.
He is near 2 1/2 years old I believe, likes to rest on things (not scratch), very dull in color, still has an appetite.
Does he have some underlying problems that I can't cure?
Eye Problems
Symptoms: Cloudy cornea, opaque lens, pop eye, swelling, blindness.
Thanks kitten,
I just have a small question to follow up
I used API's Fungus Cure for "Fungus, Mouth Fungus, Body Slime, Eye Cloud, Fin & Tail Rot". I forgot to mention that along with his first case of Popeye he also had some fungus on his head. The Popeye and Fungus went away with this API treatment.
Now that he has Popeye again but no signs of Fungus, should I try penicillin/amoxicillin treatment for bacterial problems?
if the popeye went away with the first time while it was on the API's treament that means it's working for this fish. i suggest you use it again =)

Many men and guns are hidden in the bloody ground,
Of the vast and muddy desert, that stretches all around.
But proud he stands, tall and strong, never quavers from his stance,
Though he wishes he could travel home, but he'll never have the chance.
His fellow men are scared, not of death but not returning home.
Many have already died and their ghosts already roam.
'May god be with us' they all pray, 'and see us safely through this fight,
For though we stand with gun in hand, I wish not to die tonight'.
'Although a soldier, I'm a father first, loving husband and brave son.
Close to my heart, your letters dear, and I treasure every one.'
'Remember me' he whispers into the dark night sky,
'May the winds of war carry home my words tonight if I should die'.
'And guns may stop my beating heart but shan't suppress my soul
My heart flies free back home to thee, for that they can't control.'
'And little son, how much you've grown, that I can clearly see
For now you're the man of our small home and you must be strong for me.'
And though the family of this man, all love him and adore,
All the love in this cruel world cannot stop the bullets roar.
And his body falls into the mud as the sirens scream around,
And the telegram to his wife and child now lies sodden on the ground.

I've been doing a bit of curing at home recently and I'm wondering why the hell I've never done it before. When you cure your own ham and bacon there is just nothing to beat it and the great thing is you can tweak the cure to suit your taste. You immerse the meat in a solution of salt, sugar, and spices and just leave it for a few days depending on the size of the meat. It can then be smoked, boiled, etc.
I've cured a piece of pork belly with the bones in here to make my bacon chops. If you can't wait for the curing process to take place, then ask your butcher if he can get hold of bacon chops, or you could use a piece of whole streaky bacon. Thick bacon chops can be a bit on the salty side, so I would recommend simmering them in water for 3-4 minutes before pan frying.
4 bacon chops weighing about 180g each
1tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
A piece of root ginger weighing about 40g, scraped and peeled
A couple of good knobs of butter
1tsp flour
200ml chicken stock
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 can good-quality chickpeas, drained and washed
2tbsp chopped coriander
Gently cook the onion, ginger and garlic in the butter for 2-3 minutes until soft, add the flour, then gradually add the chicken stock. Bring to the boil, season and simmer for about 15 minutes until the sauce has thickened, then add the chickpeas and simmer for another 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, gently fry the bacon chops in the vegetable oil for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
Finish the sauce with coriander, spoon on to warmed plates and place the chop on top.Reuse content

By Billy Graham • June 1, 2004 • Topics: Bible, Premarital Sex
No, he is not. The Bible clearly teaches that all sexual relations outside marriage are wrong in God's eyes. The Bible bluntly says, "Flee from sexual immorality" (1 Corinthians 6:18). This includes any kind of sexual activity apart from marriage.
Remember that God gave us the gift of sex in the first place–and He intended for it to be a source of joy and happiness for us. But He also intended for it to be restricted to marriage. Why? One reason is because it was to be a sign of the unity between a husband and wife. It was, in other words, meant to be an expression of their mutual commitment and love. But sex outside marriage easily becomes selfish, and even boring.
God knows what is best for us, including this important area of our lives. Why ignore His way, when it is best for us in the long run? The Bible warns, "There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death" (Proverbs 14:12) The Bible also promises, "Blessed are they whose ways are blameless" (Psalm 119:1).
Pray for your friend; I can't help but wonder if he is only looking for an excuse to live a life of self-indulgence and immorality. But there is forgiveness and new life for all who turn to Christ in repentance and faith. Yes, we live in a sex-saturated society–but with God's help we can follow a far better path.
Good morning,
I have a boyfriend. We going to have 2 yrs together. In 2 yrs I been depressed and confused, don't know what to do. I love to study bible. I try my best to not sin but my boyfriend on the other hand hates when I say what God don't like me to do. Since I've been with him, I commit sin and I feel like the same connection I used to have with the nature I don't have it no more. What should I do?
This is a excellent teaching!!! Simple and to the point.
Since I entered into the life of boyfriend and girlfriend, I did not find joy in it at all, pains everyday. I have been trying to do away with the relationship but I could not because I don't wants to hurts the lady, so what do I do?
Make time and talk with your lady, discuss with her about bible. I think she will be transformed
What about if you live with a woman all your life,… and be faithful to her. The commitment is before God. Not before man.
I re dedicated my life to God and I am studying this as it is the hardest thing to give up I have a boyfriend and just moved out.. and I am trying to live right for God… I know it talks about fornication but does it speak about other things .. or you just refrain from everything if it makes you think lustfully is it a sin. is there scripture to back that up?
I thank GOD for His mercy endurance forever,that today i will live the life of Christ Jesus our Lord
Thank you for that truth it is in the word.of truth. Sometimes individuals be looking for an excuse to do their own thing, instead of living by the word!

Holga has come out with the 120 WPC--wide angle pinhole camera. The camera exposes two medium format frames for a 60x120mm negative (as compared to the 24x36mm negative from 35mm film). This creates a nice panorama, capturing about 120 degrees of what's in front of the camera.
The pinhole creates an aperature equivalent to f/133, which essentially means you get infinite depth of field--everything is in focus. It also means you have to exposure for a super long time. This shot was done with a 10 second exposure. So a tripod and release cable are a must.
Upside--From my first few rolls I would say the 120 WPC takes pretty sharp images while still maintaining the dreaminess of the pinhole. Check out the Flick group, people seem to be doing some great stuff with it.
Downside--I don't develop my own film... And using a pinhole is tricky because of the long exposure times that have to be estimated... So if I calculate the cost of the medium format film, of which I use two per shot, and then the cost of development, scanning, and waste due to bad shots, each good shot is costing me about 10 US dollars. Ouch!
