New California Law Requires Doctor's Note For Vaccine Exemptions… But There's An Out
Thursday, January 2, 2014
Aired 1/2/14 on KPBS News.
A new law went into effect Jan. 1 making it a little harder for California students to skip required vaccinations. But there's still an easy way out for parents who don't want their kids to get shots.
A new state law went into effect Jan. 1 making it a little harder for California students to skip required vaccinations. The law says parents can now only claim a personal belief exemption from vaccines if they have a signed form from their doctor.
But there's still an easy way out for parents who don't want their kids to get shots.
California law requires students be vaccinated against diseases like polio, measles and whooping cough before they can attend school. But parents have been able to skip these requirements by signing a personal belief exemption, which says immunization is contrary to their way of thinking.
Under the new California law, parents will still be able to do that. But they have to get a signed form from their pediatrician saying they've been informed of the "benefits and risks of immunization."
Although the law took effect at the start of 2014, students only need this new form when they start kindergarten or middle school or move to California from out of state. Otherwise, their existing exemption will still apply.
But there's a way around this new requirement.
The new form also has a box that says the family belongs to a religion that prohibits "seeking medical advice or treatment." If parents check this box, they don't need a doctor's signature to exempt their children from vaccinations.
This religious exemption was added by Gov. Jerry Brown when he signed the law. Catherine Flores Martin, the director of the California Immunization Coalition, told NPR she worries the additional box on the form will weaken the law, because parents don't have to provide proof of their religion to check it.
A joint KPBS/inewsource investigation in September showed nearly 90 percent of San Diego County's schools had kindergarten classes with at least one student not current on vaccines at the start of the 2012 school year, the most recent year data was available from the California Department of Public Health. It found just less than 4 percent of San Diego County kindergartners entered school in 2012 with a personal belief exemption on file.

Thank you for encouraging people to lie on a form. We rely on herd immunity to keep those who cannot be vaccinated from get sick. So way to go, let's put everyone else at risk because people would rather take medical advice from a Playboy Bunny than an actual scientist. Disappointed in you to say the least.

Everything seems to be favoring the few and dissing the majority. These same people will sue their doctor when the kid gets sick. I feel bad for the kids of these misled and naive parents.
At what point did personal beliefs allow people to ignore the law? From immigration to requirements to go to school. I would enjoy seeing what laws I can ignore next week. Perhaps bank robbery can be my new ridiculous belief structure. The leftist whackos in Sacromental just may agree.
Peking_Duck_SD | January 2, 2014 at 3:48 p.m. ― 3 years, 2 months ago
I agree with the two posts above.
What good is a law that has no teeth like this one.
These parents are selfishly putting others at risk.
The problem with herd immunity is that it has thresholds - if enough irresponsible parents do this herd immunity will no longer be in effect for many diseases.

Muckapoo, it's not a left vs right issue.
It's a science vs ignoramus issue.

You mean like Rickkk Perry's flip-flopping:

This story is reprehensible and should be taken off the air. The story as written here on the web page is more neutral, but the audio broadcast version definitely gives the impression that it is recommending that, if parents want to avoid the "hassle" of going to a doctor where they would be informed of the pros and cons of vaccinations, they should lie on a form, and falsely claim a religious exemption. The story also gives the impression that a doctor has a veto power over the personal belief exemption, and might deny it, but this is wrong. The doctor is merely being asked to inform the patient, and then sign a form validating that she has done this. (See the Exemption Form effective 2014: http://eziz.org/assets/docs/CDPH-8262.pdf)
Some people do have genuine religious convictions which prohibit them from seeking medical advice or treatment, and I approve of Gov. Brown's accommodating their ability to freely exercise their religion. But to treat this lightly as a convenient "way around" a very serious provision of the law, or to recommend that other people do, is deplorable.
Sdteacher60 | January 2, 2014 at 6:17 p.m. ― 3 years, 2 months ago
I couldn't believe it when I heard this on the news today. What a completely irresponsible piece. Skipping immunizations is not a decision to be taken lightly. All scientific evidence shows that it can put not only your children, but the whole population at risk. This piece made light of these facts and seemed to encourage people to break the law if they just couldn't be bothered to go to the doctor's office. At a time when I am counting on my local station to report scientifically supported data and calm people's fears about immunizations, this piece lead a huge disappointment.
Claire Trageser, KPBS Staff | January 2, 2014 at 10:16 p.m. ― 3 years, 2 months ago
I appreciate you all taking the time to comment. I in no way meant to recommend that people take a religious exemption to get around vaccine requirements--the story points out that there is such an exemption and then quotes an expert saying the religion box weakens the new law.
Jerry_L, I said parents would avoid the hassle of going to a doctor not to recommend that they do it, but to point out that some parents likely would lie about their religious beliefs. KPBS has done extensive reporting on vaccination rates in San Diego County, and I have reported the dangers of not vaccinating children and decreasing herd immunity. You can read that coverage here: http://www.kpbs.org/news/vaccines/
muckapoo1 | January 3, 2014 at 3:44 p.m. ― 3 years, 2 months ago
An ignoramus is a mission accomplished by the people who only listen to public radio. There, Muckapoo has spoken.
Reallyticked | January 5, 2014 at 11:46 a.m. ― 3 years, 2 months ago
I have never heard more irresponsible reporting anywhere! Ms. Tregaser, you claim your reporting is balanced. Why then was this radio piece all about how to skirt an important law that many responsible citizens of this state worked many hours to put in place? You should stay awake at night wondering if your report urged a parent to skirt the law and a child or his classmate came down with whooping cough, measles, or even meningitis! Utterly reprehensible!!
JeanMarc | January 6, 2014 at 8:28 a.m. ― 3 years, 2 months ago
To everyone who thinks this story is irresponsible: The media is supposed to report the truth and that is what the reporter has done. Sorry if you don't like the truth and you would prefer to withhold information from the public and bury your head in the sand pretending there are no problems in the world.
Sdteacher60 | January 6, 2014 at 8:53 p.m. ― 3 years, 2 months ago
To JeanMarc: "Truth" in reporting means the reporter is able to relay facts without revealing bias. The choice of title "...but there's an out", phrasing, "there's a way around this new requirement" "if they (parents) just want to avoid the hassle of another trip to the doctor's office" (audio), and picture (child grimacing from what appears to be a very traumatic shot) all combine to create a very clear bias. That is what I believe to be irresponsible.
bmather | January 7, 2014 at 8:30 a.m. ― 3 years, 2 months ago
I too think that this piece was irresponsible journalism. The emphasis was clearly on skirting the requirement as SDteacher60 pointed out. I am disappointed in KPBS. We don't need anymore of this kind of journalism. There is way too much it on the commercial stations. Please think twice next time before you try to draw in readers with something like this or I may have to think twice about my contribution to KPBS.
SweetSpot | January 7, 2014 at 8:33 a.m. ― 3 years, 2 months ago
Seriously poor reporting and choice of wording Ms. Tregeser. Makes my husband and I reconsider our annual pledge to KPBS. And where/who was your editor? Were they on vacation? Asleep? Hung over?
What's your next story? Pressure cooker recipes with the sign off, "of course pressure cookers could also be used for bombs when you add these four ingredients...".
Claire Trageser, KPBS Staff | January 7, 2014 at 10:52 a.m. ― 3 years, 2 months ago
Commenters, once again, I apologize that my story created a different impression than I intended it to. It was merely meant to point out a weakness in the law, not to encourage people to exploit that weakness. I've done extensive coverage on the harm that can be caused by parents choosing not to vaccinate their children, and this story was meant only as an update on that coverage. I should have brought in more of my previous reporting on vaccines into this story so my point was made more strongly, and you all wouldn't have been left with the impression that I was encouraging people to skip vaccines.
MattthewCScallon | January 7, 2014 at 12:50 p.m. ― 3 years, 2 months ago
@Claire Trageser, so protecting religious beliefs in the law is something you take as a, "weakness in the law?" That certainly explains a lot.
There are moral problems with different vaccines. The MMR vaccine in this country, for example, come from the cells of a murdered baby whose cells are continually kept alive in order to produce the vaccine --with the accompanying profits . Though such a vaccine can save a child's life, that only ameliorates the evil of murdering the baby. The UK has an MMR vaccine that doesn't depend upon the cells of a murdered baby, but the FDA refuses to approve its use in this country. And, so long as reporters such as yourself consider religious beliefs and moral discernment to be a, "weakness in the law," I don't see much hope in that changing.

C'mon folks. Claire has stated twice that this was not the intent of her article. Give her a break. Have you never been mistaken??
Peking_Duck_SD | January 10, 2014 at 8:44 a.m. ― 3 years, 2 months ago
Mr. Scallon, people's person freedoms and liberties can be exercised freely, however at certain junctures when they begin to encroach on other people's freedoms and liberties, parameters need to be set.
I disagree with you very much, but I respect your right to your beliefs and to practice whatever religion you choose. But why should your religious liberties be allowed to stifle the liberties of parents who want their children to be protected from vaccine-preventable diseases ?
It's a balancing act.
Muckapoo, Claire was not mistaken. Some people who were interpreting this story in a manner in which it was not written were mistaken.
There is a difference between objective reporting on a flaw and encouraging exploitation of said flaw, albeit sometimes a fine distinction. I read the article and saw no editorializing on her part just reporting the facts on what this poorly written law will do.
Anger should be directed towards those who wrote it the law, not those reporting on it.
THIS SHOWS WHO THE ANGER SHOULD BE DIRECTED AT, Mr. BROWN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"This religious exemption was added by Gov. Jerry Brown when he signed the law."
MattthewCScallon | January 14, 2014 at 6:02 p.m. ― 3 years, 2 months ago
@Peking_Duck_SD, why should the evil perpetrated for profit by Big Pharma be rewarded with shoddy reporting? Why can't this same reporter bother herself to question why the FDA refuses to approve a morally acceptable form of the MMR rather than rail against said moral positions against morally objectionable vaccines?
brothersun | February 16, 2014 at 8:58 p.m. ― 3 years, 1 month ago
In WW2 Germany, if the Nazis came to your door and asked if you are hiding any Jews, is it immoral to lie in that case? This is actually a perfect analogy, because the pro-vaxers are like the Nazis who honestly believe they have the moral high-ground, because that is how they were indoctrinated. In reality, they are causing much suffering and death. Once one understands that the theory of vaccination is incorrect, and they have never provided any protection from disease --yes, it's all been a massive PR/marketing hoax on the part of vaccine makers-- and that the chances of serious injury or death is much greater in the vaccinated, then all the Nazi-like posturing is seen as the evil it is. A much greater evil than lying to them when they come knocking on your door. All you pro-vaxers really need to do some independant research. The truth is well known at the highest levels of government, but is being suppressed because politicians, medical journals, and news media have been bought. To learn more, see BoughtMovie.com

It's against my religion, and frankly I'm one of a growing number of parents who didn't get all those "shots" and I'm free of disease. I don't have MS like my cousins who had all their vaccinations. Once it's realized that depopulation was always the intended goal,people will already by sterile from all the exposure to petroleum products and it will be too late to wake up.
JeanMarc | March 10, 2014 at 2:51 p.m. ― 3 years ago
Youre_Robots... your paranoia is impressive, your delusions are a symptom of schizophrenia. Be careful...
NaomiG | March 21, 2014 at 10:19 p.m. ― 3 years ago
To every one who is worried about "herd immunity", have you ever pondered the logic in that?
And Youre_Robots, thank you! If every parent took the time to watch this MUST-SEE documentary, my guess is there'd be a lot less parents vaccinating if any.

Cousins by the DozensPosted Thursday, April 14, 2011, at 2:02 AM
In 2009, just a few months before my dad passed away, I was able to fly back to Idaho with my daughter and two of my grandchildren.
It was truly a blessing to be there that July. It was my 50th birthday and my dad's 80th. I also had two cousins who were turning 50 and a brother-in-law who was turning 60. We called it the Decades Party. It was a long weekend of good food, great company and entertainment. I had tried to explain to my granddaughter, KaeLynn who was 2 1/2 at the time just how big our family was. But is was my dad who explained it best telling her that she had cousins by the dozens. He did not exaggerate. We have a big family on both sides. Our summers were filled with family reunions, camping and week-long stays by aunts and uncles with their various broods of kids. In the winter time at Thanksgiving, we visited my grandparents in Othello, Washington. We always had a wonderful visit with my Aunt Betty Jean and Uncle Charles & their 4 children in the summer. They were city kids and thought hauling hay, feeding the livestock and milking cows was great fun. No guest rooms were needed because we slept out on the lawn in the summer. We swam in the afternoons or rode horses to get apples in an abandoned field. At night, we told ghost stories. One year, my brothers made up a song about our Uncle Charles called "Chug Chug Chug Along Charlie." Being the genial guy that he was, Uncle Charles took it in stride. But my Aunt Betty Jean was not as amused. In revenge, she began a new tradition of her own that year. Before all the goodbyes were said, Aunt Betty Jean put on her brightest red lipstick and kissed one of my brothers. After the first year of stunned surprise and shock, self preservation kicked in and the boys would run and hide when Aunt Betty Jean put her lipstick on and said, "okay boys, who's the lucky one this year?" We looked forward to those visits and our ranch seemed to be the stopping place for a multitude of visits by Aunts and Uncles and their families. We had a cousin Todd who stayed the summers with us. He would get a little to annoying at times and my brothers solution to this little pest was to dump in into the ditch to cool him off. I don't suppose they would allow you to do that these days. But I think that it was a pretty good deterrent. There were eight siblings in my mom's family, five of which were older and married with children of their own and three younger brothers who still lived at home. Going to Othello was a trip that we all looked forward to. Looking back, I am not sure how all of us fit into Grandma and Grandpa's house. At the time, there were 23 Grandchildren, the three brothers, and 10 adult children and Grandma and Grandpa. They had a modest house with 2- or three bedrooms and an unfinished basement. They only had one bathroom too and a very small kitchen. Kids slept everywhere depending on their ages. But on Thanksgiving Day, we all sat together at a huge table with plenty of food. Grandpa had turkeys who roamed the yard and to my small stature, they seemed huge. There was always an annual football game. The older kids had adventures in the haystacks. My cousin Penny was the youngest of the grandchildren and was as cute as a button. She loved to have the bigger kids pick her up and swing her around. Poor Uncle Les, our youngest uncle happily obliged one day and unfortunately, his grip was not too tight on her ankles but a little too tight on her pants. Penny flew out of her pants and landed on the basement floor. Only two people were not amused by this event, Penny and her mother. This is just a small sampling of memories that graced our family over the years. More stories will come at a later time. At the birthday party in 2009, it was our grandchildren who played and got to know each other a little better. KaeLynn's eyes got pretty big as each family arrived to celebrate our event. All of us will have special memories of that last birthday party. The weather was beautiful and the mountains surrounded us on every side. It made turning 50 a little easier for me because I was able to celebrate it with my two other B's, Brett and Becky. It was the first time that I was able to be there for my Dad's birthday in over 20 years and sadly, it was the last one too. Our family has been richly blessed with a treasure box of memories. We find that each gathering has become more precious than the previous one. Our hearts have been bruised by loss these past two years with Dad's passing. However, we are undaunted by the weight of grief and sadness, because we have been reassured that a greater reunion will take place in the future. The best reunions here on earth are the joyful ones. Keep the home fires burning with birthdays, weddings, graduations, picnics or holiday celebrations. You may not have a dozen or so cousins to gather like we do, but your joy in being together will be just as precious. Comments Showing comments in chronological order [Show most recent comments first] Beautifully written, Bonnie. It sounds like your gatherings are much like ours, with mischievious adventures galore. You're right, the best reunions on Earth are those of joy. The weddings, birthday and regular picnics/BBQs. But even the sad reunions when we gather to remember those that have passed also provide joy, in the knowing that we have family here for us, no matter what. It is because of the wonderful joy that families provide, that we also have the other deep sorrows at our losses. One can't be had without the other. They go hand in hand. Thanks again, Jessie -- Posted by jessiemiller on Thu, Apr 14, 2011, at 9:27 AM

I no longer live on a ranch, but I do know what hard work is. Fences are everyone's concern, but nowadays,the "hole" is always your neighbor's side not your own. It used to be that you would respect your neighbor and mend the fence together. If their cows got in your field, a simple phone call resolved the problem. You might even saddle up your own horse and help them gather them up. We need more people who are willing to roll their sleeves up and fix the fence regardless of who your neighbor is.
There are people in this country who need to be reminded that a fence is like the way you should conduct your life. Your posts should be straight and neat. The wire needs to be stretched tight and your gate might be closed, but can still be easily opened. And most of all, we can all saddle

text: Though located in Surf City, Kit's Bar is worlds away from the bro-heavy hangouts of Main Street. This Beach Boulevard-adjacent sports dive dispenses with flashy club-night gimmickry in favor of the essentials: cold beer, stiff drinks and three pool tables. The simple, wood-paneled room is typically filled with locals, some crustier than others, but quality recreation abounds. In addition to the tables, there are four dart boards as well as 12 small TVs ringing the room's upper walls (though some beam images of the parking lot.) There's a moderate selection of beers served in the bottle and a small selection on tap including: Budweiser, Coors Light, Stella, and Sierra Nevada.

I would like to pose a question to anyone who listens to mainstream hip-hop: Are we officially in the age of 2 Chainz? Dude's been everywhere these past six months or so and doesn't appear to be slowing down at all. The thing is, he's a really, really great guest rapper as he can take any track and turn it into a comical excursion with his sharp word play and goofball delivery. And for his latest trick, he's hopped on Teairra Mari's -- remember her?! -- new single, "U Did Dat," and made it, well, palatable. But how long before 2 Chainz gets unbearable and played out? Three months? We'll see. Stream his remix of "U Did Dat" below. [RR]

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
I've finally got a typewriter! My dear husband and daughter decided, that as it was my birthday, they'd buy me the very old Imperial typewriter I'd seen in a charity shop. Left to myself, I think I would have rather gone for a German typewriter on ebay in better shape. But never mind, it was a lovely thought and now I have this typewriter.
But, it is rather old and I don't know how to look after it or get it into working order. It's a huge thing and weighs a ton and a half! From what I've read on the 'net, it was probably made any time between the 1930's and 1950's. All advice gratefully accepted! I'm hoping to use it for my next zine.

Efficacy and Safety Study of Yunnan Baiyao on Minor Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis

- How to Read a Study Record
Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is a common recurrent oral disorder with no curative treatment available to date. The challenge remains in patients that do develop drug resistance and/or secondary infection, although topical corticosteroids and antimicrobials are the first therapeutic choice. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an herbal extract of Yunnan Baiyao formulated in toothpaste as an alternative therapy for minor RAS.
Yunnan Baiyao is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine, formulated in a powder or capsule form. It was initially and widely used in wounds for its anti-hemorrhagic hemostatic function, and further in gastrointestinal bleeding. Yunnan Baiyao powder has been generally applied on RAS among Chinese population.
In this study, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial (from March 2010 to March 2011) was conducted on a cohort of 227 minor RAS patients. The toothpaste containing Yunnan Baiyao was used twice daily as part of the patient's routine oral hygiene for 5 days. An assessment of ulcerative size and pain was recorded on Day 0 (baseline), Day 3 and Day 5. Any noted adverse reactions were recorded.

Official Title: | Efficacy and Safety Study of Yunnan Baiyao on Minor Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis |
- Ulcer size [ Time Frame: one year ]The assessment of the surface area of the ulcer was measured in millimeters by a dental probe. Ulcer size was assessed as the product of maximum diameter and its vertical diameter.
- Pain Scores with Visual Analog Scale [ Time Frame: one year ]Pain intensity was measured using a VAS, where the amount of pain recorded ranged from 0 (no pain) to 10 (unbearable pain). Pain was assessed by irritating the ulcer with the periodontal probe. The values were collected by the assigned investigators.
- Number of the participants with adverse events [ Time Frame: one year ]Any noted adverse reactions were recorded.

Active Comparator: placebo toothpaste
One gram of placebo toothpaste was used twice daily by the control group patients. Except for the active Yunnan Baiyao extract, all ingredients contained in the placebo-toothpaste were the same as that in the experimental toothpaste.

The attention deficit hyperactivity disorder medication Adderall has become the excuse du jour for players testing positive for a banned substance in the NFL. Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman insists it's not just an excuse.
Sherman successfully appealed a four-game suspension last season due to a mishandled sample.
"About half the league takes it, and the league has to allow it," Sherman told Vancouver Sun reporter Mike Beamish on Tuesday. "The league made a mistake in my case. Obviously, I didn't do anything, but you have to go through a process to prove you didn't do anything. There are still naysayers out there who don't believe me. But I accept it. If everybody loves you, it probably means you're not much of a player."
Players are allowed to take Adderall only if approved by the league for medical reasons. The league would like the NFL Players Association to agree to more transparency with the public and wants to list the banned substance when a player fails a test. Why?

King Isshin
All right, I had an epiphany. We all know that the King could not live on the human world, neither then could zero division. This would totally defeat the purpose of the king's key and the separate dimension in soul society. What we do know is that when we saw Ichigo's father as a death god he was serious and calculating whereas in everyday life he's crazy and kicks Ichigo in the face. So why couldn't the King or the king's guard say take a visit to the human world and leave a gigai behind when they leave. Same idea as Ichigo using advanced AI gigai like Kon. This would explain Ichigo's immense power, his mother being attacked (hollow sensed residual spiritual pressure during a visit), and no one knowing his name (only if he was royalty (if he was zero division someone would have heard of Kurosaki before his promotion) this would explain wht yama-gi wouldn't have immediately headed any of Kurosaki Ichigo's wishes because he is royalty). I really do hope it ends up this way and rather than it be "Prince" Ichigo but "King" Isshin that messes up Aizen. Speaking of which why aren't the Vizard fighting arracar that have come to town? You would think that they'd clean up shop since their captain level+ hollowfication which sets them above almost everybody but maybe Yama.

We all know that the white ripped robe on his arm looks like a captains robe, but has anyone checked out his Zanpaku-to. This is taken from Wikipedia; "It is also worn with the edge down like a tachi, instead of the edge up like a katana." This could mean that he was probably some very special within the SS, but this other statment pulled from Bleach wiki; "Isshin Kurosaki - Former Captain; Squad has not yet been revealed" almost proves that he was a captain but obviously says nothing about his seat after that. |

Or Isshin Kurosaki got married and went to S.S. for protection for his family and they refused because he married a human so he retired form being a soul reaper and stayed in Gigi form to live in the Real world with his Wife. And want to keep it all a secret from it happening, and that he was once a soul reaper and now he is retired soul reaper. And erased all memory of him being retired. Or he got banned form S.S. and was never heard from again.

Well, when Karin confronted Ichigo about knowing he is a shinigami, he just ignored her, which really ticked me off. They should have had Ichigo make Karin promise him that she wouldn't say anything, and that little secret between them could help them bond or whatever. I wonder if Karin had keep he speculations a secret, or possibly told Yuzu about them...
But I really doubt Ichigo is going to discover Isshin's status anytime soon. It just wouldn't fit into the current plot. |

Why would none of the current shinigami's have heard of him? In the pendulum arc you clearly knew that the previous captain who was being replaced by Urahara was and she was heading off to zero division/royal guard. I still now am leaning toward current zero division captain or King with an AI gigai in the real world and with a secret name which is why no one has heard of Kurosaki. Isshin is going to be a beast I just can't wait to see the extent.

I wonder... has anybody considered the idea that Isshin was captain of 3rd squad 1 year before chapter -108 and Rose took his seat? This would most likely mean he was interred by Urahara who had a habit of freeing those "dangerous elements" he could use.

1) the gigai Rukia had was not restoreing her powers like a normal one would in fact it was draining them and turning her human. Had she spent another month in it she would no longer have been a shinigami. It's a bit debatable if she could become one after she died again. 2) that arrancar was GrandFisher who unless KT has been realy misleading us, was the one who killed Ichigo's mother. and it is quite clear Isshin and Urahara are talking about Isshin getting revenge for that night

Very good point. Thank you.
I've started a Bleach timeline over at the bleach wiki. Having it helps to make Isshin theories clearer in my head personally. http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Timeline |

Also the Hōgyoku was hidden inside Rukia before Urahara left SS

HourFirst found in Dan. 3:6; 4:19, 33; 5:5 It is the rendering of the Chaldee shaah, meaning a "moment," a "look." It is used in the New Testament frequently to denote some determinate season (Matthew 8:13; Luke 12:39). With the ancient Hebrews the divisions of the day were "morning, evening, and noon-day" (Psalms 55:17, etc.). The Greeks, following the Babylonians, divided the day into twelve hours. The Jews, during the Captivity, learned also from the Babylonians this method of dividing time. When Judea became subject to the Romans, the Jews adopted the Roman mode of reckoning time. The night was divided into four watches (Luke 12:38; Matthew 14:25; 13:25). Frequent allusion is also made to hours (Matthew 25:13; 26:40, etc.). An hour was the twelfth part of the day, reckoning from sunrise to sunset, and consequently it perpetually varied in length. ALSO SEE: |

This will likely get a cosmetic make-over only, not many people want or need one of these electricity hogs working anyway.
I'm looking for a lock and the sticker for the chrome face if any-one has a source.

'Fcron' is a periodic command scheduler which aims at replacing vixie cron, so it implements most of its functionality. It does not assume that you run your system either all constantly or regularly: fcron can run jobs every x hours y minutes of uptime or only once in a specified interval. You can also set a nice value to a job, run it (or not) depending on the system load average, mail a user to tell him that a job has not run and why, and run a job at fcron's startup if it should have been run while the system was down.

All that cake.... yummmm
4kgs of chocolate cake please!
Trip Start
May 21, 2007
Trip End
Aug 08, 2015
Yesterday we ran a few errands with Nayani in the morning, wrote a report on the goings on at the school for someone – we're not too clear on who it was for but were told that it needed to be in good English! In the afternoon we had two classes. In the first we taught the children the names of different shapes and in the second class, the oldest pupils in the school, we did dictation and comprehension. Last night we decided to get organised before we leave and make a list of all the things we need to do before we go. Our list comprised of about five days worth of activity! We realised that instead of making a list, we should have got on with some of the things on the list!!
Today we flitted between the kitchen and the preschool. During play time we were called to the top of the slide by a group of children who told us that we were now on the bus to England and could we please pay them some money - stones and leaves to you and I. We had a great time being driven back and forth between Sri Lanka and England on possibly the safest and most comfortable ride we've ever had on Sri Lankan public transport! If only our journey home was just a matter of going down a slide, rather than the 12+ hours on a plane!
This afternoon we taught another class on the subject of shapes. After lessons were over we just popped into Nayani's office to tell her that we were heading to town, and an hour later we left having ended up in a meeting with the whole staff. However, no one is to blame for this save ourselves as we foolishly brought 'The List' with us which caused a great deal of confusion and wasn't helped when Milani teacher found a camera and started trying to take candid shots of everybody! One thing we love about Sri Lanka, as you must have picked up by now, is the total randomness of everything and how even the simplest thing causes great amusement. For example, we wanted to buy some cake for the afterschool children tomorrow as it is our last afternoon with them. Our original plan was to get them jelly and ice-cream, however we were told that this would "cause problems". Dear knows what those problems might be! After telling Nayani that we wanted cake she immediately whipped out her little black book, told us we would need about "4 kilos of cake" to feed all the children (as opposed to just "2 cakes") and promptly rang the cake man! We have been told that he will be arriving tomorrow, with 4 kilos of chocolate cake. I think we can all agree that the cake man's number would be a very useful one for our little black books!
Tonight has been spent ticking off more things from 'The List' and was rounded off with an impromptu tuktuk lesson. This time we were allowed to drive the whole way back from the playground to Smile and even got up to third gear! We are doing very well according to Nezam.
Tomorrow, as well as saying goodbye to the afterschoolers (4 kilos of cake) we are also going to visit the children's houses and present some cricket teams with new bats.
Tune in again tomorrow night for our last instalment from Smile Lanka.

Heat oven to 120C/fan 100C/gas ½. Put your largest lidded casserole on the hob and brown the seasoned leg of lamb on all sides - do this very thoroughly until it is a good dark brown as it will not brown during the cooking. (If you don't do it now, it will end up beige.) If the lamb sticks, add a drizzle of oil - legs of lamb differ. Allow 10 mins on a high heat and put on the cooker fan to remove the smoke. Pour away any fat that has collected in the bottom of the pan.
Throw in the vegetables, followed by the wine and stock. Season and bring to the boil, then clap on the lid and put in the oven. Bake for 7 hrs, turning twice. After 5 hrs the meat will be cooked and offer no resistance to the knife.
There is no need to rest the meat when cooked in this way, but to finish the sauce, transfer the meat and vegetables to a serving dish. Strain the sauce into a jug and pour or blot away the fat with kitchen paper. Pour the sauce into a pan then boil the liquid hard to reduce by a quarter, by which time it will be rich and flavoursome. Adjust seasoning, add the Armagnac if you wish, and serve alongside the lamb, which should be served with a spoon, a la cuillère as the French call it.

When Jhonas Enroth learned Ryan Miller had a sinus infection, he knew it was nothing to sneeze at. The Sabres' backup goaltender was getting another chance at victory, and in a rarity it would come in Buffalo.
As he sat in his locker stall accepting congratulatory handshakes with a smile on his face, it was obvious Enroth was savoring the long-awaited moment.
Enroth made 32 saves, and Marcus Foligno scored twice Tuesday to propel the Sabres to a 3-1 victory over the New York Rangers. Enroth was 0-10-3 in his previous 16 appearances and hadn't won since beating Washington on Nov. 26, 2011.
The skid is in the past, which is where Enroth had tried to keep it.
"I've been trying to look forward and live in the moment and don't think about the past because you can't do anything about that," he said. "I've just been focused on next game and try to stay positive. It feels good right now to finally get that win."
Enroth learned Tuesday morning that Miller wasn't feeling well, which gave him an unexpected start just five days after a bitter no-decision in New Jersey. He left the 3-2 shootout loss with 1:06 to play after cramps locked up his right leg.
"The last couple games he's played unreal for us," captain Jason Pominville said. "He was obviously disappointed in New Jersey, but he bounced back, made some big saves, kept us in the game early. He's not the typical butterfly goalie that you usually see, but he gets the job done. Hopefully, it'll be good for his confidence to get a win and play two solid back-to-back outings."

Registrations are growing for the 'Second Chance Schools' initiative in Greece
The Second Chance Schools (SDE) initiative is an innovative lifelong learning programme from the Greek Ministry of Education supported by the ESF. Intended for individuals of 18 years and older who have only primary school leaving certificate levels of education, the project involves a public school that offers training to baccalaureate level to improve the employability and social inclusion of its graduates. Teaching covers many subjects, from languages and maths to computers and career counselling, and its approach is from the adult-learning perspective, focusing on active participation.

Pearl by Pearl
We went because wed been promised a party.
Around 10 on Saturday morning, we arrived at the ranger station, where we were given directions to Linda Stamers group, just off Route 3N14 in the Holcomb Valley. As I carefully maneuvered my beat-up Jeep along the barely maintained roads hairpin turns, Stamer, a Forest Service biologist, went hurtling past me in a big pickup truck loaded with coolers. We were late Stamer was bringing lunch for the days volunteers.
Sixty-four thousand acres burned in the September 1999 Willow Fire (so called because it grazed the banks of Willow Creek), nearly 40 percent more than were destroyed by last Septembers Williams Fire. It was one of the worst disasters in forest history. The fire stripped the area clean of vegetation, leveled structures, obliterated archaeological treasures. Habitats were emptied, off-road vehicle areas cleaned of their tracks.
We were here to assist the forest in its recovery from the 99 fire; miraculously, however, it had already begun to regenerate itself. As we sat on the tailgate of Stamers pickup washing down sandwiches and chips with soda, Stamer, a rosy brunette in her late 20s, pointed out long ridges of goldenrod, its spindly yellow blossoms squirming in the breeze. Like the purple fireweed that covers post-blaze hillsides, she told us, goldenrod is an opportunist it sprouts in the charred soil almost as soon as it cools. Only in the staging areas, where the ground was compacted by the firefighters equipment, or where off-road vehicles continue to disturb the soil, is human intervention necessary to remedy what humans have disrupted.

In their greenhouse up in the mountains, Stamer and her husband had seeded most of the native shrubs and pines we were to plant today deer grass, Jeffrey pine, desert sage. With exacting patience, they demonstrated for us the process of restoring wild plants to the forest. The holes had been dug already; the hillside was dotted with them, but the plants had to be placed so that their own soil was flush with the ground, which meant digging by hand and refilling several times until the depth was precisely right. Next, the hole needed to be filled with water, which had to be fetched with a bucket from a far-off hose. Then the sleeve holding the plant in place had to be wiggled free, and dirt lightly packed around the perimeter of the plant. One final watering, and the planting was finished off with fluorescent green vexar fencing into which volunteers had already woven bamboo gardening stakes.
I did some of the work assembling the circular fences, chatting with firefighters whod come up from nearby San Bernardino and volunteers from other groups, such as Tree People and the Boy Scouts. But mostly I planted trees, following to the letter the procedure the Stamers had laid out, alternately borrowing water from other peoples buckets and letting them use up what was left in mine. By the end of the afternoon, I had planted seven trees; my friend Lisa, who was visiting from New York for the weekend, planted eight. Our backs were weary, our legs tired from squatting. And yet we had affected only the tiniest fraction so small its hardly worth estimating of that devastated forest.
Or so it seemed. When I surveyed the days work, I looked up the side of the hill where wed worked and saw a miniature Emerald City of vexar hundreds of plants dotted the hillside. I did the math: If each of the 40 of us planted eight seedlings, that meant 320 new plants had been set in the ground. (In fact, I learned later, that was about right.) By the next spring, the day looked like a success; the plants were adapting to their habitat, and no one had vandalized the site.
The Hasidic Jews have a proverb for this: While I was brooding over my sins, it says, I could have been stringing pearls for the glory of God. Though Im not an especially observant Jew, I still find in the proverb a powerful metaphor for activism. A pearl on its own is an object of only minor beauty, but by threading pearl after pearl one can create a startlingly lovely thing. The image comes up other places: Elvis Costello, in his cryptic anti-war ballad Shipbuilding, sings of diving for dear life/when we could be diving for pearls; in Michael Tolkins The Rapture, its having seen the pearl in ones dreams that sets the believers apart from the heathens. It takes a long time, of course, to string enough pearls through tiny holes with a fine thread to create a necklace, just as it takes a lot of individual plantings to re-create a forest after a fire, and a lot of small gestures piled on each other to change the world. My seven pearls contributed that day to something much bigger than myself.
We camped that night at the Coon Creek jump-off a group campground that ends in a spectacular, unbarricaded drop of a few thousand feet into the canyon below. An open-air stone lodge housed the DJs equipment in preparation for an onslaught of kids with high-clearance vehicles, but the party wasnt happening. With our host, Orlando, we waited and wondered, but it finally dawned on us that no one else was headed up. As the sun lowered into the mountains and we studied the blanket of white beneath us, we understood why: People on their way up the road were slogging through rain turning to snow and back to rain again, and giving up with the conviction that the weather would only get worse.
They were so wrong. At 8,000 feet, the weather would have cleared, and they would have been here, with us, looking down at what Thoreau called an undulating country of clouds. And so the one DJ whod braved the weather played anyway, and we opened a bottle of wine and made a pot of pasta, and we danced. Under that mountaintop view of the stars and planets, we decided that the metaphor of the pearl didnt apply to everything: It may have taken many hands to plant a hillside in the mountains, but we only needed each other to make a party.
The Big Bear Greenthumbs Native Plant Restoration Volunteer Program has several events scheduled throughout the year, including seed collection, cleanup and tree planting. For information, contact Linda Stamer at the U.S. Forest Service, (909) 866-3437, Ext. 3301.

Unfortunately the side of the shoe bothered the bone in my ankle. I have an insole with arch support I can try, but I think that'll cause heel slip. Not sure if the issue would be fixed by break in. I have the same issue with AE Park avenues but those broken in a bit.
Such a shame. The cannons are super nice and look pretty well built as well.
Shame to have to pass them up at $155, so I'm hoping the arch support insole works. I tried a simpler insole today after it started hurting and it was promising!
