Humpy Wheeler, for 33 years the boss of one of the sport's most legendary tracks, now on the outside (Photo: Getty Images for NASCAR)
By Mike Mulhern
The sudden split between Humpy Wheeler and Bruton Smith here one year ago appears no closer to any resolution.
A day after Smith gave his side to the split, Wheeler Sunday night gave his. And where Smith had said he anticipated "an apology" somewhere down the line, Wheeler insisted he had nothing to apologize to Smith for. And Wheeler refuted Smith's claims that Wheeler was now remarkably wealthy, worth some $26 million, and that Wheeler had asked for a $5 million "exit bonus."
It was yet another strange venture into what looks like the no man's land between these two, who were for more than 30 years tight buddies and two of the most powerful men in NASCAR, Wheeler as Smith's number two in command of the Speedway Motorsports empire (NYSE: TRK) and as boss of Lowe's Motor Speedway.
Smith's decision to branch out into the NHRA and build a $60 million dragstrip just across the street from the empire's home track, and Smith's threat to move Lowe's Motor Speedway out of Concord, and Smith's decision to buy Kentucky Speedway, near Cincinnati, Wheeler says all led to his decision "that it was time to leave."
However Smith did not take it well, in his reaction to Wheeler's decision a year ago that he wanted to move, Wheeler said. Wheeler said his departure was rushed, and he said he "did not feel welcomed" at the track he ran for 33 years – hence, when Wheeler was invited to the Indy 500, he accepted the Sunday tour.
"I haven't been to Indy for the 500 in 40 years…and while I miss all my friends down in Charlotte, I did not feel welcomed," Wheeler said.
"Being the former president, you would think the chairman I worked with for 33 years would invite me to be part of the celebration.
"But it's no big deal. You understand that's how Bruton is, and I understand that.
"When I told Bruton last year that I wanted to resign, that I had had enough of it, I don't think he liked that. And I would have preferred to have stayed around a while, because it takes a couple of months to clear things up. But when I told him I wanted to go, he said he thought the Wednesday after the 600 would be appropriate."
In a nearly hour-long interview on Claire B. Lang's Sunday night pre-600 Sirius show, Wheeler made a number of points, some quite sharp:
-- He denied asking for any $5 million severance: "That is a bunch of bull. I don't know where he got that," Wheeler said.
"And that stuff about him giving me all this stuff…he didn't give me a damned thing. I worked for every dime. Blood, sweat and tears, and a lot of them. Me being worth all that money, that's a bunch of junk. I wish I was…if I was I'd probably be building a track across the street from him.
"He doesn't like anyone to say no to him, and that was what I was doing. I didn't want the drag strip, I did not want us to buy Kentucky. It's hard to make money with a drag strip, especially when you put $60 million in one.
"And I really didn't like the gesture of moving the track from Concord, where we had spent 33 years establishing good relations with the city and the county.
"But he's the chairman of a public company, and it was my decision to leave.
"But I told him I would give him time….that I would stay as long as he wanted me to stay there. And I thought he would at least give me the courtesy of cleaning my office out.
"Bruton and I did a lot of good things together, and it's too bad things ended the way they did. But that was his choice and not mine.
"He's just got such an ego that he thinks everything that was done there he did himself. Now that's fine, if he wants to try to rewrite history.
"But I think he was totally off-base saying the things he did.
"We had a good run at the Speedway, but we weren't communicating very well, and I thought it was time to go. It's a public company but it's still a family business, and it's tough to work in that environment.
"If I were analyzing Kentucky, I would have to take an awfully big pill and go into some kind of dreamland. I have no idea why he bought Kentucky.
"What can you do with a track with one (Cup) date? I know how tough that is. So why would you want to do that? These big ol' tracks just eat money, like huge dinosaurs. And they're building a beautiful road course right next to Kentucky Speedway; I just met him.
"So I don't know how you're going to make money at Kentucky. And I don't know where that (Cup) date would be coming from.
"Atlanta is a much, much bigger market than Cincinnati. Charlotte is a bigger market than Cincinnati. Now Cincinnati is a nice town…but this track is in Kentucky.
"If NASCAR gives him a date for Kentucky, I will personally eat the first turn…with a spoon. And I've tasted asphalt, and it doesn't taste good."
So would Wheeler now be interested in running another track? "If it were the right track, with the right owner," Wheeler responded.
"The Wheeler Company (his new venture) has some good things going on….
"I've been doing a little work for NASCAR. They don't always like to hear what I've got to say…but they understand there are things that have to be done.
"I wish I was as rich as Bruton says I was; I'd give some away to some of my friends who have gone broke."
An apology?
"I have nothing to apologize for…after my 33 years working there," Wheeler said. "He's not an easy man to work for. He is very demanding. Marcus (Bruton's son) says Bruton has patience, but I haven't seen that," Wheeler added with a light laugh.
"Money has never been a motivation for me. I have a passion for racing. And this sport is not doing nearly as well as it should be. It has lost a lot of momentum. So anything I can do to help rebuild that momentum I would certainly want to do..and that would probably be in the NASCAR camp…until this thing with Bruton dies down.
"You never say never, and animosity is not something I want to carry around. It burns up energy unnecessarily.
"I just hope that someday Bruton Smith and Humpy Wheeler will be amiable again. His daughter is my god-daughter; she's just been through a terrible accident and she's coming back well. His ex-wife is still good friends with Pat (Wheeler's wife) and me. When you get older, you shouldn't have any enemies at all. You should forgive and forget.
"I just didn't like the way things were going last year…and it will take me some time to get over that."
c'mon humpy quit being a baby about ky...kentucky has the cincinnati market and the louisville market. they sell out nationwide races every year...atlanta barely had half capacity this year...if i was humpy...i would get ready to eat some asphalt.

It's interesting how discoveries are often serendipitous.
I've long had a fascination with the history of role playing games, and have recently been delving into the history (and prehistory) of the role playing hobby. In the course of my reading, famed "Appendix N" author Fletcher Pratt's 1940's vintage naval war game rules were mentioned several times as being popular and influential in the wargaming scene of the 1960s. Additionally, Pratt's games just sound fascinating; they often occupied the floor of an entire ballroom, with people crouching on the floor sighting their targets and pointing little paper arrows to indicate their intended direction of cannon fire. People running submarines were relegated to another room.
I wanted to track down a set of these rules to see what all the fuss was about back in the early '60s when the rules were revived by the wargaming scene of the time (particularly by a couple of Midwesterners by the names of Arneson and Gygax). I don't plan on playing Pratt's naval war game, but I was interested in reading the rules partly out of historical interest and partly to mine for ideas for my own game designs. Well, original copies of the rules proved difficult to find, but I came across a book called "Naval War Games" by British author Don Featherstone, which contained a summary and restatement of Pratt's rules, along with a number of other rulesets used to simulate different eras of naval warfare.
Well, I ordered the book and it arrived on August 31. Published in 1965, it's a time capsule of an era in gaming I was not around to experience. I did a little more research and found that Mr. Featherstone was 95 years old and had authored dozens of books on wargaming. He was also none too fond of the introduction of fantasy elements into wargaming, which put him at odds with a certain gaming trend of the mid '70s. In fact, in his 1975 book "Skirmish Wargaming," Don refers to a concept in which players assuming the role of a single character on the gaming table as "Individual Wargaming," which given the timing of the book (published one year after Dungeons & Dragons), can't help but seem like a snub to role playing games.
In any case, a few days later, I checked the Wikipedia entry to review Featherstone's bibliography, only to find that he had passed away on September 3. Thanks for your contributions to the hobby, Don, even if I was late to the game.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,PLAINTIFF-APPELLEE,v.MARK HIGGINS, THADDEUS HARRISON, AND ORLANDO POTTS,DEFENDANTS-APPELLANTS.
Appeals from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division.
No. 94 CR 75--James F. Holderman, Judge.
Before EASTERBROOK, ROVNER, and EVANS, Circuit Judges.
EASTERBROOK, Circuit Judge.
Of three persons jointly indicted for cocaine offenses, one pleaded guilty and two were convicted by a jury. Mark Higgins, who pleaded guilty, instructed his lawyer to appeal; counsel filed an Anders brief. As counsel concluded, Higgins lacks plausible appellate contentions. The unconditional plea surrendered any objection to the court's pretrial decisions; the judge followed Fed. R. Crim. P. 11 when taking the plea; and the judge was entitled to conclude that Higgins supervised at least one other person, leading to a two-level enhancement and a sentence of 121 months' imprisonment. We grant counsel's motion to withdraw and dismiss Higgins' appeal as frivolous. The other two appeals have only slightly more substance.
Thaddeus Harrison and Orlando Potts were tried twice. The first ended in a mistrial when the question "after the arrest of Thaddeus Harrison, what happened next?" led to this response by an agent of the DEA:
I applied for and received--Mr. Harrison was arrested at the scene. We asked him if he wanted to cooperate, and he was Mirandized. He stated he didn't. Then we came back to our office. . .
Before the agent could say more, Harrison's lawyer objected. At defendants' request, the district judge declared a mistrial, concluding that the agent's statement was impermissible under Doyle v. Ohio, 426 U.S. 610 (1976), and United States v. Hale, 422 U.S. 171 (1975). Harrison and Potts then argued that a second trial would violate the fifth amendment's double jeopardy clause.
Defendants who request a mistrial relinquish their entitlement to a verdict by the jury then impaneled and may not use the double jeopardy clause to avoid a second trial. United States v. Dinitz, 424 U.S. 600 (1976). But if the prosecutor deliberately introduces error in order to provoke a mistrial request and rescue a trial going badly, the Constitution treats matters as if the mistrial had been declared on the prosecutor's initiative. See Oregon v. Kennedy, 456 U.S. 667, 679 (1982); United States v. Oseni, 996 F.2d 186 (7th Cir. 1993); United States v. Jozwiak, 954 F.2d 458 (7th Cir. 1992). The district judge held a hearing, received testimony from the agent, and concluded that the statement had not been designed to elicit a mistrial request. The second trial followed promptly. Defendants insist that retrial should not have occurred because the witness deliberately misbehaved; the United States relies on the district judge's findings about the agent's (and the prosecutor's) motives. We need not resolve the dispute, because there was no reason to end the first trial and it is therefore impossible to treat the agent's answer as a maneuver designed to yield a second, and better, shot at a conviction.
Hale and Doyle do not forbid all mention at trial of Miranda warnings and the defendant's response to them. They establish instead that silence following the receipt of Miranda warnings may not be used against a defendant. Silence may be no more than a response to the advice about one's rights--and it is inappropriate to promise a defendant that he may remain silent yet turn silence against him at trial. See Brecht v. Abrahamson, 507 U.S. 619, 113 S. Ct. 1710, 1716-17 (1993) (discussing the basis of Doyle). A statement such as "I told the suspect that he could remain silent, and he did" does not ask the jury to infer guilt from silence. Even if it did, the right response would be corrective advice from the judge. Greer v. Miller, 483 U.S. 756 (1987), holds that such advice suffices even when the prosecutor asks a pointed question such as "Why didn't you tell [your current] story to anybody when you got arrested" (483 U.S. at 759)--which invites the inference that the defense is a recent fabrication, and that silence at arrest implies consciousness of guilt. The judge in Greer sustained an objection to the question and later told the jury to "disregard questions . . . to which objections were sustained." Ibid. The Court concluded, first, that the prosecutor's question did not violate the due process clause because the prosecutor did not succeed in using the defendant's silence against him. The prosecutor tried to violate the rule of Doyle but failed, because the judge sustained the objection. Id. at 763-65. The court's instruction forestalled the jury from drawing the forbidden inference on its own. Id. at 765-66. Just so here; rather, so it could and should have been here. The judge cut off the agent's testimony. The next step should have been to inform the jury that Harrison was entitled to remain silent, and that the exercise of this right did not count against him. The trial should have continued. By demanding (and receiving) a mistrial when the trial readily could have been completed, the defendants surrendered any possible objection to retrial.
At least Harrison did. The agent's testimony did not concern Potts, whose lawyer originally opposed any mistrial. If Potts had maintained that position, he would have been entitled to conclude the trial and receive the verdict of the jury then impaneled. But after time for reflection Potts joined Harrison's motion for a mistrial. At oral argument Potts' lawyer asserted that he changed position only because the judge's body language and tone of voice implied that he did not want to sever the charges against Potts and Harrison. Nothing in the transcript suggests that the judge bullied Potts into relinquishing his right to wind things up at the trial then under way. A judicial invitation to do so is entirely proper, if the choice remains in the defendant's hands. Completion of the trial is the defendant's right, to assert or to surrender. The judge's reasons for preferring a joint trial, including conservation of trial time and a reduction in the demands made on witnesses, are legitimate. Potts may have thought that his own interests lay in the same direction. Often one defendant seeks to point the finger at another, which may work best if the other party is there for the jury to convict. Examining defense strategy, to which we are not privy, would be inappropriate. It is enough that Potts explicitly joined Harrison's motion for a mistrial. Indeed, it would have been enough had Potts stood silently while Harrison argued for a mistrial. United States v. Buljubasic, 808 F.2d 1260, 1265-66 (7th Cir. 1987). A defendant is entitled to an opportunity to make his wishes known. When the opportunity comes he must seize it, and he must be prepared to accept the consequences.
Having received what he asked for, Potts cannot switch sides. Playing both sides of the street may be attractive for Potts but would be unfortunate for future defendants, for if a defendant who requested and got a mistrial could later avoid retrial by protesting that he didn't really want one, judges would be even more reluctant to grant mistrials than they are already. The double jeopardy clause gives the defendant a right to "get a verdict if he wants one and keep it if he gets it". United States ex rel. Young v. Lane, 768 F.2d 834, 837 (7th Cir. 1985). "A right to obtain implies a right to relinquish. Defendants may choose whether to proceed with the first jury; if they elect not to, they have not been 'deprived' of any entitlement. To honor a choice is not to dishonor the underlying rule. The alternative to honoring the defendant's choice is forcing the parties to verdict in the first trial, then reversing the conviction and holding another trial--something neither side wants." Jozwiak, 954 F.2d at 459. Potts told the judge that he did not want a verdict from the first jury, and that is that.
The second trial began on October 27, 1994. Six or seven days earlier, the prosecutor had told defense counsel that a fingerprint found on a package of ...

Cakes, Cakes...Everywhere Cakes!
I have been self teaching myself the art of cake decorating a little at a time. I get an idea and I run with it. I have gotten to a place where I am not so bad. I am told that my cakes taste yummy and they look cute too. My hope is that one day when my children are grown and living their lives that I can open my own cake shop. Who knows, dreams can come true.

This volume represents the formal presentations and discussions which took place during a three-day meeting in March 1988 at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. It is" dedicated to my friend of more than thirty years, Prof. Dr. Klaus Joachim Ziilch, who died in Berlin on December 2. 1988 while this volume was still in preparation. Klaus Zulch had devoted a significant portion of his professional life to a better understanding of central nervous tumors. Over the past two decades he served as the Director of the Collaborating Center for CNS Tumors, under the auspices of the World Health Organization (WHO), and it was largely through his efforts that the work of the CelJ. ter in developing criteria for a histologic classification of these neoplasms was kept alive. Without his stimulus this Houston meeting would probably not have taken place. In early 1987 he approached me with the idea of convening, at an early date, a meeting in Houston in collaboration with the Department of Neuro-Oncology of the Cancer Center, of which I was then Chairman. The purpose of this proposed meeting was to discuss recent research developments that might have a profound influence on the classification of brain tumors and ultimately necessitate revision of the "Blue Book" of the WHO on Histological Typing 0/ Tumours 0/ the Central Nervous System.

Fundamental Dilemmas in Contemporary Psychotherapy: A Transtheoretical Concept
Scaturo, Douglas J., American Journal of Psychotherapy
A Transtheoretical Concept*
The transtheoretical nature of fundamental dilemmas in contemporary psychotherapy is explored. The basic distinction between technical and ethical dilemmas in clinical practice is discussed, as well as the ramifications for the psychotherapist. Clinical dilemmas identified by survey research studies and interviews with master psychotherapists are reviewed. In addition to dilemmas relevant to circumscribed areas of psychotherapy, such as brief therapy, managed mental health care, sexual questions, feminist therapy, dilemmas fundamental to the psychotherapeutic process as a whole are examined. Finally, clinical examples are provided that include such issues as hospitalization of the suicidal patient, dealing with known contraindications, treating the intractable patient, and self-care of the psychotherapist.
Dilemmas and emotional conflicts are endemic to the human condition. The notion of intrapsychic conflict has been basic to psychological theorizing since its early beginnings (1). Freud (2) saw conflict as the foundation of neurotic disturbances and anxiety-based behavior. In parallel fashion, Pavlov (3) demonstrated that dogs in a laboratory setting displayed behaviors that could be described as "neurotic," if they were continuously subjected to discrimination learning tasks that were increasingly difficult to perform. While the dogs were initially trained to expect food and salivate in response to the stimulus of a circle and not to that of an ellipse, the previously calm animal demonstrated increasingly agitated behavior as the ellipse was gradually changed to be nearly identical to the circle. Finally, social psychological field theory (4) viewed conflict as the effect of the bipolar opposites of "attracting" and "repelling" aspects of an organism's environment, yielding a classic three-fold categorization of conflict in "approach-approach," "avoidance-avoidance," and "approach-- avoidance" terminology.
A dilemma is "a situation involving choice between two equally unsatisfactory alternatives" (5, p. 355). Synonyms include predicament, quandary, and impasse, as well as the colloquial expressions of "catch-22" and a "tight spot." In social psychological terms, such a scenario would be described as an avoidance-avoidance conflict (4). Avoidance conflicts have been described as having a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" quality (6). Since such conflicts are highly stressful and rarely resolved fully, they are a significant source of anxiety. Why then are dilemmas critical to the practice of psychotherapy? This answer is in part related to the unique nature of avoidance-avoidance conflicts in contrast to other forms of psychological conflict.
By contrast, approach-approach conflicts represent a choice between two positive alternatives, and are typically resolved more easily. Such conflicts are often resolved so rapidly that people are frequently not cognizant of the momentary conflict that they had produced (1). Basic learning research (7) has demonstrated that aversive consequences entail a much greater valence than a choice between positive alternatives. It, therefore, might be concluded that the avoidance of severely negative alternatives carries with it a certain survival value in an evolutionary sense (8). Likewise, the approach-- avoidance conflict tends to be prevalent in life, and therefore difficult to circumvent. However, in this situation, the person is both attracted and repelled by a given selection (1). A central characteristic of an approach-- avoidance conflict is the experience of ambivalence, i.e., the mixture of positive and negative feelings about the same event. Many of life's more important decisions are characterized by approach-avoidance conflict, such as wanting to eat when overweight, or wanting to marry someone of whom one's parents strongly disapprove (6). Such concerns may entail sufficient emotional distress to bring one to engage the services of a psychotherapist. …

Blair 'gone mad'(128 Posts)
writes Boris Johnson.
This comment was about Blair's essay about Iraq.
"Blair's essay"?
Can he write? Does he know what he's talking about or does someone tell him what to say?
But I think Boris may have a point. It's the eyes.
Ah, the eyes of a zealot.
Perhaps Boris could have him sectioned under a mental health act when he next visits London?
No chance of him being Sectioned. MH beds are being slashed as fast as lightening.
He is deranged and deluded and with Bush dragged us into this shit
You might like to have a look at this thread in AIBU, about what Boris said about Blair
I'm sure he has enough friends in high places to fast track him through the medical system
I notice that Bush has kept quiet. What's he up to these days, golf? He was never the brightest spark...
Aaah, didn't see that
Bush is showing more common sense these days than Blair, I think.
He seems to have gone quietly into retirement, and does not go in for self-seeking publicity stunts.
(Never thought I'd be writing 'Bush' and 'common sense' on the same sentence. It shows how appalling the Blair latest is by comparison).
meditrina, I agree with your posts on the other thread.
If you go back to the Middle East before WW2 the only way that areas became stable was to have 'tremendous war lords' that --scarred the shit--nobody argued with. Saddam filled that role and the vacuum produced by the West and democracy wasn't powerful enough.
Yes, Bush is higher up the scale. He doesn't need to earn a crust and do anyone's bidding. He has just retired. He is above it all.
Bush Senior recently did a parachute jump to celebrate his 90th birthday.
Bush Junior has had an exhibition of portraits what he has painted all by his own.
Does Blair 'need' to earn a 'crust' or is he just greedy... for money and power (Murdoch?).
I think there is a plan to redraw the map of the Middle East - to break the old Sykes-Picot creation of the Arab states and split these artificial constructs up into smaller states which are no longer multicultural or multiethnic or multi-religious. The original Sykes-Picot lines enabled the French and British to play factions off against each other. But now the plan seems to be to break the larger states into smaller units that will be weaker and more easily manipulated and played off against each other.
Who funded Isis? What is the plan for Syria? Why does Blair say something like not dealing with Assad has caused this problem when Assad was fighting against Isis?
Blair is now laughed at by Boris etc, but Blair deals with important people and he does know what some powerful people want.
"Don't rule out attack on Iran, Blair says
Vice-President Dick Cheney's vision of completely redrawing the map of the Middle East following the 9/11 attacks is "not stupid," and is "possible over time," former British Prime Minister Tony Blair says.
In his new book, A Journey, the former Labour Party leader wrote that Cheney wanted a wholesale reorganization of the political map of the Middle East after 9/11. The vice president "would have worked through the whole lot, Iraq, Syria, Iran, dealing with all their surrogates in the course of it — Hezbollah, Hamas, etc," Blair wrote.
On ABC's This Week Sunday, host Christiane Amanpour asked Blair if Cheney "would have gone through all that lot."
"Dick was always absolutely hard-line on these things," Blair replied. "I mean, I think he would openly avow this. His worldview was that the world had to be remade after September the 11th."
Blair added, "But you can't dismiss that Cheney view and say, well, that's just stupid. It's … it's not. It may require amendment."
Blair is not like Bush. Compared to Bush and his dad, Blair is like a parvenu. He is still climbing, earning, doing what people want him to do. He is a "fixer", some might say a sort of gopher for some very powerful, rich people.
I think Tony Blair does have issues with sincerity and genuinely believing in a cause other than himself. I think he only became Labour because he realised that Cherie would never countenance marrying a Conservative, and regarded his Prime Ministerial role as a stepping-stone into the world of money. I never thought I would say this but I do rather admire George Bush for keeping a low profile and retiring from the world stage,
On Newsnight now, they use the term Islamo-fascists for Isis and they say that Iraq is moving towards civil war. In Ukraine, the Neo-nazis played a large part in toppling an elected President and Ukraine is moving to civil war. Maps are being redrawn.
claig, I like the word gopher . Very good point.
eddiemairswife .... I wouldn't be too impressed with George W keeping a low profile; the Bush political dynasty is evergreen, and there is a new younger shrub running for high office who don't need his older sibling making the news with quotes, with both feet-in mouth. IMO.
The plan seems to be to weaken the Shia Crescent - Iran, Syria, Hezbollah.
Isis and Al Qaeda etc etc are fighting against Assad in Syria and against Shia in Iraq. But so far Assad is beating Isis and Al Qaeda etc. Now Isis has gained a buffer zone in Iraq and took funds from the bank in Mosul to strengthen itself in its battle against Assad and Shia.
Blair says that dealing with Assad is a must.
Russia helped Assad and Assad is currently winning against Isis, Al Qaeda and all the rest of them, but now all of a sudden Russia has problems in Ukraine.
They rarely seem to mention this on BBC Newsnight
"America's Allies Are Funding ISIS
The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), now threatening Baghdad, was funded for years by wealthy donors in Kuwait, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, three U.S. allies that have dual agendas in the war on terror.
The extremist group that is threatening the existence of the Iraqi state was built and grown for years with the help of elite donors from American supposed allies in the Persian Gulf region. There, the threat of Iran, Assad, and the Sunni-Shiite sectarian war trumps the U.S. goal of stability and moderation in the region."
But there is now one statesman that the whole world listens to and respects - Britain's most popular politician.
"Nigel Farage today spoke out against Tony Blair's comments on the present situation in Iraq and Syria.
The UKIP leader said: "In almost every country in which the West has intervened or even implied support for regime change, the situation has been made worse and not better.
"This is true of Libya, Syria and of course Iraq. Tony Blair's state of outright denial of the obvious consequences of his disastrous decision-making on Iraq is making increasingly uncomfortable viewing.
"There was no place in Iraq for Al Qaeda or its affiliates under the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein. Yet now the country is over-run by Islamists who are also making advances in Syria and the whole region is sliding towards a full-scale Sunni versus Shia conflict.
"The lesson is not, as Mr Blair implies, that the West should intervene in Syria, let alone once more in Iraq. The lesson is that the West should declare an end to the era of military intervention abroad."
He also said "the EU has blood on its hands over Ukraine"
How different to Blair.

Ask a Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hi Clare,
My ex partner agreed to come with this information to the meeting. If necessary I can find this out Monday.
As a best guess Mortgage is approximately £115K house value £145K and loan has £5-6K outstanding.
I should be able to now yes. Would you include the loan at the full amount and half the equity? In the agreement I signed it mentioned 60% for the other party. I would assume this still stands or is this agreement not really valid?
No, not in relation to the agreement, the only advice I received was to go for a forced sale if my ex refused to sell. As mentioned, I wasn't in the best financial situation at that time and could see no way out but to sign it.
Hi, thank you for your advice, would it be unreasonable to assume that the time frame is not enforceable as well? Martyn
Hi, thanks again for your help.best regards Martyn

SD Mines attracts exceptional students who want to be challenged and given personal attention. We are very pleased to be selected as a sponsor of the National Merit Scholar Program.
RAPID CITY, S.D. (PRWEB) April 15, 2016
The South Dakota School of Mines & Technology has been selected as a sponsor of the National Merit Scholar Program in recognition of the university's ability to attract high-achieving National Merit Finalists.
Currently, three National Merit Finalists who are high school seniors have named South Dakota Mines as their first-choice university, joining the six freshmen National Merit Finalists already on campus. Since 2010, SD Mines has enrolled 19 National Merit Finalists.
"SD Mines attracts exceptional students who want to be challenged and given personal attention," said Heather Wilson, president of SD Mines. "We are very pleased to be selected as a sponsor of the National Merit Scholar Program."
As a National Merit Scholar, students receive $12,000 over four years through a combination of scholarships from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation and SD Mines. Currently, 244 universities are sponsors of the National Merit Scholarship Program.
Each year, approximately 1.5 million high school students take the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®) to enter the annual National Merit Scholarship Program. From the large pool of participants, some 16,000 students are designated National Merit Program Semifinalists, representing the highest scorers in every state. Qualifying finalists who have a strong academic record and high school recommendation, have taken the SAT and submitted a scholarship application may receive a Merit Scholarship award, but available funding limits the number to only about 8,000 scholarship winners each year.
South Dakota Mines offers bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees in science, technology, engineering and math and is known for its exceptional academic programs and personal attention to students.
About SD Mines

Composition of the natural product Wonderup
Wonderup is a natural herbal product specifically developed for beauty and health of the breast, formula, complete with 15 different plants: greek hay, fennel, soy, hops, galega, verbena, ginseng, ginkgo, alfalfa, alfa alfa, (milk thistle ), carrots, barley (chosen primarily for their high content of phytoestrogens) and finally pollen and wild rose, whose specific properties are useful to the overall effectiveness of the mixture.
Many of these herbs - in particular, greek hay, fennel, milk thistle, carrot, lemon verbena and galega - have known phyto-estrogenic properties - ie, stimulate the production of milk in lactating mothers (by stimulating the production of the hormone prolactin). The fennel is also used to alleviate the symptoms of menopause and to improve the menstrual function and reduce nausea.
The galega also has strong traditionally known and appreciated in increasing the breast size and improve circulation in the mammary gland; verbena also helps to alleviate menstrual cramps and was used as an analgesic in pain post-partum and promotes menstrual flow.
The greek hay, in particular, has a long history as a breast augmentation and contains diosgenin which is used to make synthetic estrogen.
Ginkgo, ginseng and alfalfa, in addition to they too contain flavonoids (phytoestrogens), are powerful antioxidants, ie sweep away free radicals that cause tissue damage - so these substances help to promote the development of healthy tissue and help the local circulation.
The Alfalfa also contains many amino acids (the "building blocks" that are used to build the muscles and tissue proteins, it also feature useful to increase the breast).
Soybeans and hops are rich in phytoestrogens, which not only promote the natural development of the breast but also have antioxidant properties that may reduce the risk of diseases breast and other tumors of hormonal orgine, because they stimulate the production of good estrogen that binds to the receptor cells, block the absorption of toxic estrogens.
The bee pollen is present for its action as a general tonic for the body, which assists and promotes the development and the growth of tissues. The Wild Rose has the highest concentration of Vitamin C in nature, which not only has antioxidant activity so protective of tissues but promotes the absorption of all other active ingredients of other plants in Wonderup. In detail, here is the Wonderup list of ingredients: Hay Greek, Fennel, Soy, Hops, Galega, Vervain, Ginseng, Gingko Biloba, Alfalfa (Alpha Alpha), Milk Thistle, Carrot, Barley, Bee Pollen, Rose Hip.

Why 17 days? Because 17 is my favorite number.
To make matters worse, The Hills Have Eyes had a pretty freak radio spot, I think. Not that I remember all that much of it. The one thing I do remember is the announcer flatly stating that this film was "from the director of Last House On the Left," and that was when all hell broke loose in my head. No, I had not seen Last House On the Left--I was only 14 in the summer of '77--but I had heard that radio spot five years prior, when I was still young enough to believe in Santa Claus, and it had tormented me for a good many nights. Last House's radio spot, if you remember, had the announcer who warned us to keep repeating "It is only a movie … only a movie … only a movie …" (this marketing campaign made such an impact that I reference this radio spot frequently in my novel Strays and its sequel Jackal).
What does this all tell us?
It tells us that the imagination, that beautiful DVD extra of the human mind, is far more powerful than anything you can process with your own two eyes. At the end of The Decameron, the pupil of Giotto gazes at the fresco he has just painted and laments, "Why create a work of art when to dream it is so much sweeter?" As a writer and one-time filmmaker, I get it. Nothing I commit to paper has ever matched my sweet imagination, and many classic movies I sat down to watch after considerable buildup--from Citizen Kane to Casablanca--failed to impress the first time, and only on repeated viewings did I come to appreciate their beauty and genius.
So it was for The Hills Have Eyes.
The Carters, a family of six adults, one baby, and two dogs, are taking a trip to California, most of the family riding in a luxury camper being pulled behind a truck driven by patriarch Bob (Russ Grieve). After suffering a flat in the desert, the Carters soon find themselves being stalked by another family, this one composed of deranged cannibals who live in the hills, led by the demented Papa Jupiter (James Whitworth). As night falls, and the Carter's desperation increases, the crazed hill people make their move …
Those previous paragraphs may suggest that I think The Hills Have Eyes is a bad movie. Nothing could be further from the truth--I wouldn't purchase the DVD if I thought it was bad. In fact, it's a very good movie, and some scenes are quite frightening. What I'm saying in those paragraphs that the anticipation of this film, constructed upon the foundation of my childhood imagination, was far greater than anything Craven could have shown me. I actually had to steel myself for this movie when I watched it in college, expecting to be so terrified that I might have to pause the VCR and walk outside for some fresh air.
None of that, of course, happened. Still, I did enjoy the ride.
The Hills Have Eyes is not only a great little horror film, it's a solid action film as well. After a freaky first two acts which claims the lives of Bob, his wife Ethel (Virginia Vincent), and his eldest daughter Lynne (Dee Wallace), the film's denouement is devoted to the survivors of the Carter clan taking a stand against the cannibal family. This involves the two teenage children, Bobby (Robert Houston) and Brenda (Susan Lanier) creating an elaborate booby trap to take out Papa Jupiter (booby traps played a role in most of Craven's early films), and a daring journey into the desert by Lynne's widowed husband Doug (Martin Speer) to rescue his baby daughter Katie after she has been abducted by the clan. After some of the nightmarish scenes we have witnessed, this final battle is almost rousing, and you will cheer as Bobby, Brenda, and Doug turn the tables on the cannibals.
Still, let us not forget that this is a horror movie, and in the film's early scenes, when the cannibals have the upper hand, there are plenty of horrors to go around. I love when the Carters stop at a service station on the edge of the desert, and as they get directions from the owner, we see the creepy cannibal clan, decked out in surreal biker attire, darting about the premises in the background. Later, Bob runs through the night to find help, and the cannibals taunt him from the darkness, their voices echoing across the desert--this scene will send tingles down your spine. In addition to these traditional chills, there are more than a few atrocities to make you squirm in your seat: Brenda's rape, Bob's torturous death, and a scene where the cannibals abduct the baby and are arguing over walkie-talkies about who gets to eat it.
I can personally attest that he is not. In 2012, I got to meet Mr. Berryman ("Call me Michael," he said) and he even posed in a photo with me. The man is intelligent, articulate, and charming, the kind of personality people are naturally drawn toward.
Later, I discussed with my best friend how sad it was that Berryman never won a major acting award other than the EyeGore Award for Career Contribution in the Horror Genre. While it is so easy for the Academy to focus on its golden stars every year, perhaps its time someone like Michael Berryman got a little Oscar love. After all, he's done nothing but show up, do his job well, and give us a filmography full of worthy performances. Perhaps his appearance limits the roles he is given, but so what? He does what no other actor could do in the same position.
And let's face it: The Hills Have Eyes would certainly not be the same without him.

- The way Clayface's expression becomes sorrowful◊ when recalling how Batman sacrificed his life to save him. Being made of moldable clay, his entire face slumps, when recalling Batman told him everyone deserved to be saved. You can tell the entire episode rocked him to his core.
- Bruce's mother telling him that the only reward he gets for being Batman, is to be Batman again, and worse, he only gets to have a few years of happiness.
- "Goodbye, moon."
- Selina's version has her betray Bruce. When Batman comes to her for help, having already lost a lot of blood, Selina ties him up and lets him bleed out completely. As he does, she explains it as a Mercy Kill since she can't stand watching him destroy himself. One of the few times Catwoman is shown to kill, and it's Batman.
- Superman's story of Batman's death, and that he knew it was suicide, but if it saved one person...
- Harvey Bullock's story has Batman tossing him a baby just before he's drowned by tsunami-like floodwater.
Bullock: I made it out of there, carrying the baby. And people said to me, "How do you keep going?" I said, "Because he kept going."
- "Hello, Bruce." Seeing Martha Wayne cradle her newborn son in her arms, smiling lovingly at him, knowing what awaits her in eight years time...
- The Riddler's lamentations from the Bonus story in the TPB "When is a Door." A TV crew is trying to interview criminals, and they find an old Riddler who takes care of a "junk yard" which is comprised of many wondrous attractions past their time. They represent his own state, and the nostalgia he still holds onto.note
Riddler: "We hung out together, down at the "What a Way to Go-Go.' It was great! And there were all these guys you never see anymore... King Tut. Book Worm. Marsha, Queen of Diamonds. Egg Head. Hoo Hoo. "sigh" Where did they all go? Batman and Robin were part of the fun. They were the straight men, but we were the stars. No one ever hurt anybody. Not really. Nobody died. You look around these days — It's all different. It's all changed. The Joker's killing people for God's Sake! Did I miss something? Was I away when they changed the rules?"
Reporter: "So tell us, what's the most impressive crime you've ever committed?"Riddler: "I robbed a bank underwater, once. The clue for that was left on a giant crossword puzzle on the side of the cross cleaning company building. They tore it down, years ago, I think it's in here somewhere. None of this stuff works any more. They're all rusted up and forgotten. You know what they call them now? Camp, Kitsch, Corny... Dumb... ...Stupid. Well, I loved them — they were part of my childhood. Back then, they all worked perfectly, the guns fired, the cameras took pictures, the pencils wrote. Nobody comes down here anymore. ...Nobody but me.
- And later:
Riddler: "It doesn't happen like this! Everybody knows, you put him in a death trap, he pulls something outta his utility belt and he's away. Same bat time, same bat channel."
- Hell, The Riddler during the main eulogy actually had a deep and saddening line concerning Batman's death. reminding us that most Batman villains really are still human...
- Every single reference to the '66 TV series has become about a thousand times sadder with the death of Adam West at age 88...
- The Joker's story of killing Batman◊ by injecting him with a massive overdose of Joker venom using a gigantic hypodermic.
Joker: And I screamed — "Smile, damn you, why don't you smile? You've got enough Joker venom to finish off a regiment of elephants. Why don't you smile? Why don't you die?"
Batman: "Because it's not funny."
Joker: And, after too long, he went down. He died. But he still didn't smile. And he was right. It wasn't funny. But it should have been...

Well, you have what, a month before leaving for school? I'd suggest tonight you grab as many distros as you can get ahold of and install all of them and play with each a couple of days. It won't let you get intimate with any of them but it will give you time to decide which ones you want to get intimate with.
I run Slackware and it'll do everything you're asking and tons more. But, then again, so will Mandrake, Fedora, SUSE, Arch and basically any other distro out there.
What it really boils down to is that it's really all about you. You need to find your comfort place and nobody else can tell you where that is.
For me it's Slackware. For someone else it may be Gentoo. Others it may be Debian. And on and on.OH NOOOOO!!!!!! You did it the way I said?
07-29-2004 #3
definetly. but as for your uses, you will find that most games have a native linux version and actulay run better in linux, i play nwn, and i have one version on my 3.02GHz p4 1gb ram xp machine, and one on my 1.8gHz 512ram linux machine. I actualy get better performace on the linux one... reguardless, linux will also support all your chat clients. As distros goes, I agree its much a personal choice (as all linux is) if you are a comp sci major or something of the like, ill bet you can handle something a little more powerful than the starter distros, give gentoo, debian, and slackware a try, they do have difficult installs, but if you are a power user in windows, you should be able to handle it with the help of a manual. as a learning experiance, try the gentoo isntall with the gentoo handbook (www.gentoo.org) if you get that working, then everything else is majorly downhill.
07-29-2004 #4
i am goin to second the idea of getting as many distros and you can till you find one you like. i tried 8 before i decided my heart belongs to slackware but that is the best wayto go about it and asking ppl which distro is best everyone is just goin to tell you which one they love and tell you to use it so i recommend you go and test some other distros out and see which one you like but since i love slackware i am goin to recommend you try it outBIG K aka Kyle

Hmm.... Most (if not all) distros will do what you require so whichever one you choose will have to depend on other criteria. I would personally recommend Slackware 10. Although it's the only distro I've tried I haven't had any major problems with it.

It's No Fun To Be a Librarian Nowadays
As a kid I remember being shushed by librarians more than anything else, but as a teenager they proved extremely helpful when writing a paper or assisting with research. Thinking back, it's been well over a decade since I've asked a librarian for help on anything. Apparently, I'm not the only one who's been utilizing internet search engines in place of them. Shame on me.
Recent figures compiled by the California Department of Education show an average loss of 100 librarians each year in the past two years. To cope with state budget cuts this year, both Los Angeles and Orange County school districts have cut librarian positions. As a result, librarians are being forced to divide their time between various campuses in an effort to keep the doors open. According to the state Department of Education, California ranks last in the country for its student-to-librarian ratio. It's depressing to think about, isn't it?
Find out what you can do locally to support your local library, as some may have volunteer opportunities for adults and teens. Next time you need to research a subject for school or are working on a writing project, take a break from Google! Hop in your car (or ride your bike – whatevs) and reach out to a librarian for help. Chances are you'll enjoy the human interaction and your brain will feel as though it received a work-out. Not to mention it's a nice change of pace to talk with a human being vs. staring at a computer screen. In addition, you should see if your local library offers "Text a Librarian". I heard about this on the radio recently and I'm hoping we get something similar in LA county so I can try it out.
Bottom line – Librarians rock. Let's o our part to keep 'em around.
3 Responses to It's No Fun To Be a Librarian Nowadays
Now who's going to be the custodian of the books, etc. stored on eBooks? Can they really be cataloged?
Right! It can't possibly be "any fun anymore". Certainly not something I'd aspire to anymore!
Keep it up, ladies and gentlemen. (We have an 8-year old friend whose life goal is to be a librarian. I hope and pray that there will still be a job for her.)

We quilters all love when a squishy package arrives in our mailbox, or at our door. It usually means fabric stash. Well, yesterday stash that was not squishy arrived. It was The Quilter's Planner 2016, created by Stephanie Palmer @ The Late Night Quilter.
I tore the box open and this is what greeted me.
The first few pages include small monthly at-a-glance calendars for 2016, 2017 and 2018, in columns, in case you need to look ahead, along with credits. Next is a personal information page where you can write your name in, contact information, important phone numbers, birthdays, local quilt shop or online shop information, and family member's sizes. I love this and could probably add more categories to that personal information page.
Don't misunderstand here, I love technology, and I keep my back-up schedule in my google calendar. Before computers, I'm dating myself here, we had little yearly calendars we carried around in our backpacks or handbags.
Quick aside – I was at the Apple Store in August, and a 24 year-old genius bar employee, (who is smart and delightful), asked me what I was doing on a particular day, because my battery drained very quickly.
I pulled out my little calendar and he said, "I've heard of those, but have never seen one." Not the least bit embarrassed, I asked him, "If I asked you what you were doing on that day, which one of us do you think could find the answer out faster? He said "clearly, you." And he proceeded to check my little black calendar book out with awe. Of course he keeps all of this information in his smart phone, but said he thought that aside from having to carry around an extra thing, my little calendar was a great invention, and truly faster.
Back to the planner. It has tabs with all the months of the year of course, plus tabs for projects, patterns and a reference tab, which I will go into detail later in this post.
For example, January, begins with a month on two pages. It includes a side bar
with helpful title prompts; Monthly Goals, Personal Projects, Work Projects and Quilting Projects.
Love that.
Along the bottom of the right hand side of both pages there is an area for Notes, There is lots of space to write those notes, thoughts, doodles and scribbles in. On the left hand side at the bottom of the page, there is the same amount of space, but with graph paper.
Love that too.
The next several pages break down the each week in the month, referred to as; week-at-a-glance. Each day has the time listed from 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM with space next to it to write in plans and appointments. There is some extra space at the top and the bottom to do with what you want.
On some dates in the box, you will discover fun details. For example, on January 24, it is Belly Laugh Day.
Along the bottom of both calendar pages are prompts; personal to-do list, work to-do list, quilting to-do list, and notes, with blank space to write in.
On the left side of the page a quilt block is featured, with the name of the quilt block designer and his or her blog. Underneath the photo the URL for the tutorial is listed.
One of the three tabs in the back, includes pages to plan projects. Love that.
This includes so many categories that go into quilt project planning. Very clever.
The next section includes some quilt patterns and instructions on how to make them. And a reference guide to measurements, conversions and cutting instruction, that are quick and easy to find.
This is a stunning book and planner, which is well-thought out, useful, pretty, makes me smile, provide me with doodle and thinking space. It is simple, yet elegant.
This planner fills an empty and much needed space in the exhaustive and crowded quilting tools, notions, stash and supplementary product market, and is proprietary. It is uniquely well-planned out, and includes every detail a quilter could possibly dream of, for use in planning and continually revising his or her yearly quilt planning. Well done!! Truely, nothing short of spectacular!!!!
If you want to order one, see Stephanie @ Late Night Quilter. Click on the tab for quilt planner, and order one. You won't be disappointed.
Linking up with Molli Sparkles Sunday Stash, and Beth @ Cooking Up Quilts Main Crush Monday.
Additionally, I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a very Healthy, Happy New Year!!
This is most likely my last post for 2015, because we are moving next week. So please leave any comments, because I love reading them. I will answer them directly by e-mail.
Happy Quilting!!

- Right-click on "My Computer" or "Computer". Left-click on "Manage".
- After the window pops up, go ahead and left-click on "Device Manager". You should now see all the hardware devices that are currently connected to your computer.
- Find anything with a yellow exclamation point and Double-Click on it. A new box will pop up.
- Look for a "Driver" tab and click on it.
- Click on the "Update Driver" button.
- If the location of the driver is needed, tell the computer that the Sony Vaio Vpceb2Rfx-G driver is located in your downloads folder.
- After you have finished, a reboot is most likely next.
Sony Vaio Vpceb2Rfx-G Drivers
Freely download Sony Vaio Vpceb2Rfx-G drivers to a place where you know where it is so that you can make your device improve its efficiency. Device drivers are basically just small text files that includes important instructions so that the PC can utilize the hardware that the file corresponds to. Without precise drivers the hardware is of no use and will not work as it should. You will need the correct driver files properly installed on your operating system of your computer so that the operating system may communicate properly with the particular hardware device.
All hardware need to have drivers downloaded to the computer and then installed onto the operating system in order for the hardware to be utilized. These particular devices can be a system BUS, hard disk drive, cell phone or whatever else can be connected to a computer by way of directly plugging it in or by using a cable.
- BRAND: Sony
- MODEL: Vaio Vpceb2Rfx-G
- SYSTEM TYPE: Personal Computer
- OS: Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10
So as all devices are different from one another, there are a great many different driver files, as well. Because of this, it could appear on the outset to be a very difficult task to locate your Sony Vaio Vpceb2Rfx-G drivers. For example, each and every nVidia video card has to have distinct drivers installed in the PC. That adds up to a great many driver files to wade through in order to find the right one only for that particular brand of hardware!
Searching for the correct Vaio Vpceb2Rfx-G driver can be an excruciating experience, at best. Here is a list of some helpful tips to help make your device driver-hunting experience a little less scary and much more productive.
- Brand of device (if it is actually on the motherboard then you need to find out the brand of the computer)
- Model of the device.
- Version of Windows that you are running. (for Windows type computers right-click on "My Computer" or aka "Computer" and then left-click on "Properties". )
- You need to know if you have a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system. (if a 64-bit operating system is installed on your computer, then it will say so in the information window that opens from right-clicking on "My Computer" or "Computer" and then left-clicking on "Properties". If it doesn't say that you are running a 64-bit system then it is safe to say that you are running a 32-version of Windows.)
Many device manufacturers have device drivers able to be downloaded from their company website or server for use on their customer computers. Quite a few, but not all manufacturer's websites are really that easy to hunt down online and browse through. Some manufacturers do not take the time to contemplate the normal user and the difficulty involved in trying to install Sony Vaio Vpceb2Rfx-G drivers on a laptop or desktop computer. Most consumers have a hard time figuring out which driver they should be hunting for and struggling to navigate a poorly designed website can be stressful , to say the least.
Be extremely careful when downloading Vaio Vpceb2Rfx-G drivers and driver files from a site you do not know. To save yourself a possible risk of infection, you should only download drivers from the hardware maker's website. Viruses and other malware can be attached to a lot of different unsuspected files. Trying to install a Vaio Vpceb2Rfx-G driver can be a big mistake if it turns out to be a virus. The very best anti-virus software can remove every single virus on the Internet. This is the main reason why we send you directly to the device manufacturer's. The manufacturer's sites are more trusted than others.
After you searched, found and then download the elusive driver for the device you are wanting to use, you should be able to then install the driver. After downloading you may need to uncompress the driver file if the file extension is either .zip or .rar. Once uncompressed you should install the driver. If, for some reason, the driver does not get installed you must do it manually.

I always felt like I'd find an explanation someday for my fertility issues. I have one healthy child but my husband and I have had two miscarriages and one stillbirth. I'm not infertile. I can conceive. But for me pregnancy usually only lasts about three months and then I have a miscarriage. As time has gone one, my pregnancies last for shorter and shorter periods of time. First, we had a stillborn baby at 5 months. Then, a year later, I had a miscarriage at 4 months. Five years ago we had another miscarriage at 3 months.
Recently, it's come to my attention that I (and my husband and my daughter) have an infestation of parasites in our intestines. You can read more about our parasite story here but suffice it to say, I thought I was going to die and so I started looking for the problem. And I didn't find it at a doctor's office. I found the answer in forums and individual posts by people with stories similar to mine.
So what does an intestinal parasitic infection have to do with female infertility? Some worms will crawl out of your butthole to lay eggs at night and then "get lost" and go up the "wrong hole" into the uterus or the bladder. Inside the bladder and the uterus, they may lay eggs or take up residence creating all sorts of disruptions (including cystitis, for example). Parasites in the ovaries could cause the ovaries to shut down (theoretically that is, although I doubt that studies have been done on parasites and human ovaries). The ovaries are the organs that make female sex hormones and so it would obviously be undesirable to have a parasite in an ovary hijacking your body's hormonal balance, especially if you're trying to conceive.
Parasites in the uterus may compete with an embryo for resources ultimately leading to a miscarriage or a stillbirth. It makes me angry to think that doctors could have suggested a parasite cleanse before I became pregnant (or even following a miscarriage), but modern medicine doesn't buy into parasites. At the ultrasound while our stillborn baby was still alive, my husband and I commented to each other about how skinny he was. I would guess that there were worms feeding off of my placental while I was pregnant and our baby starved to death. But if you go to the doctor to talk about parasites, be prepared to be laughed at. To medical doctors in the United States and Europe, parasites that prey on humans simply don't exist. We're a "clean" society. A First World Country, for crying out loud. Parasites? Not here. The CDC makes the claim that very few people are infected with parasites in the U.S., but parasitologists won't lie to you. Parasites are everywhere! Even parasites have parasites! If you want to know why modern medicine resists the idea of parasitic infections, you can read my article, Why Your Doctor Never Told You about Parasites.
But that's okay. Your doctor doesn't have to tell you about parasites because you can learn about them on your own and you can even treat them yourself. In fact, you should treat them yourself, or at least consider treating them yourself with stuff like wormwood and black walnut tinctures that you can buy online or at the local Whole Foods, Alfalfa's, or Vitamin Cottage. A lot of the prescription medication for parasites doesn't work and it's toxic stuff too. In contrast, herbal remedies are tried and true. People use many of the same plants to cure parasite infections throughout the world from the Amazon to Africa. Some prescription medicine for parasites in the intestines may cause you to lose your hair. This is NOT the sort of thing you want circulating in your body just prior to conception.
Before I say more, I need to make sure that you know that you should NEVER take wormwood during pregnancy because it can cause an abortion. Do a parasite cleanse before you try to become pregnant.
It would be nearly impossible to rid your body of parasites entirely. They're always going to be there, but the key is to do bi-annual cleanses (unless you're pregnant and then you'll have to wait) and to eat foods that keep your intestinal ecology balanced. If you've been trying to conceive and had no luck at it, consider doing a parasite cleanse. Be aware that if you don't feel ill initially, the cleanse may actually make you feel ill. And you might see worms in your stools (you don't have to look if it grosses you out, BUT if you see them, then you may have discovered the source of your fertility problems!) The reason why a cleanse could make you feel worse rather than better is because as parasites die inside your body, they poop and fart out waste products that your body has to metabolize. You might have headaches and feel achy and generally awful. But, after the cleanse, you should feel more energetic, if you were having menstrual problems, it's very possible that they'll resolve themselves (or at least change in some way, which is a good sign), and maybe, just maybe, you'll be able to conceive and carry a pregnancy to term.
In my article Parasite Symptoms: Our Experience I explain a little bit more about our story and in the article Treatment for Parasites I provide our recipe for the parasite cleanse. You can create your own too, but just make sure that you don't overdose on wormwood. Wormwood is a potent herb and it is possible to overdose and die from it. Start with a lower dose and then increase the amount that you're taking slowly over a few weeks. If you take a high dose at the beginning of a parasite cleanse you might feel really awful from a strong die-off reaction. It's best to go slow at first and increase the dosage amount incrementally.
If you're pregnant and you suspect that you have parasites, there are several things you can do. Eat apples, pumpkin seed butter or pumpkin seeds, and tahini for snacks either together or separately. These foods are aversive to parasites. Wash your southern regions several times throughout the day and perhaps once or twice during the night too. This will wipe away extra eggs laid outside the body and discourage transport of parasites into the bladder or uterus. And finally, take Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth twice a day. This stuff isn't absorbed by your body. It just passes through your intestines and then out of the body. But when it comes into contact with parasites, it slices them open and then dries them out. Then they're flushed from the body.
You can talk with your doctor about your parasite cleanse, but read this article first before you do: Why Your Doctor Never Told You about Parasites so that you can prepare yourself for your doctor's reaction. If you're looking for some of the reasons for infertility in women, parasites are a biggie in the United States. Read my article about symptoms of a parasite infection to learn more about why most people don't realize that they're infected.

Gluten-Free Meatless Monday 3-14-2011Leave a comment
March 14, 2011 by Flora Dawn
In December I read about Meatless Monday. Here is an overview, taken directly from their website:
Meatless Monday is a non-profit initiative of The Monday Campaigns, in association with the Johns Hopkins' Bloomberg School of Public Health. We provide the information and recipes you need to start each week with healthy, environmentally friendly meat-free alternatives. Our goal is to help you reduce your meat consumption by 15% in order to improve your personal health and the health of the planet.
Presidents Wilson, Truman and Roosevelt galvanized the nation with voluntary meatless days during both world wars. Our intention is to revitalize this American tradition. We're spearheading a broad-based, grassroots movement that spans all borders and demographic groups. By cutting out meat once a week, we can improve our health, reduce our carbon footprint and lead the world in the race to reduce climate change.
When I suggested to my family that we participate in Meatless Monday, they were less than enthused, especially my meat-loving husband. He worried the food would be boring and he would be hungry with no meat. I tried to explain it would be fun and good for us; they weren't exactly buying it.
Well, we started January planing one meatless day a week and guess what? It's worked out great! The dishes are flavorful and fresh and are some of the easiest dishes to get on the table on a busy weeknight.
And the biggest surprise of all? My husband enjoys our Meatless Mondays so much, he recently asked me if we could plan on going meatless two days a week from now on. So, even if your family goes kicking and screaming into the whole meatless idea, they might actually enjoy it!
I really encourage my readers to give going meatless one day a week a try. There are so many great-tasting, meatless main dishes. And truthfully, they tend to be healthier and easier to prepare than typical meat entrees, and they can be just as filling!
I thought it would be great to share gluten-free, meatless meals every Monday. So if you have a meatless dish that you like to link-up to my weekly posts, please do.
Here are a few of our meatless dinners so far: Quinoa & Bean Salad, Easy Bean & Cheese Enchiladas, and Almost Famous Salad.

How Will A School Change Their Community With ClassDojo?Digital Marketing 0 Comments
ClassDojo is a lovely web platform that was created to ensure everyone in the community may have a direct line to the school, and there are quite a few people who wish to speak to a teacher they cannot see in-person. The ground-up change that is provided by ClassDojo brings all parents into the educational process, and the process must offer something to everyone involved. Involving the community in schooling will help kids perform well, and the school will become a place where everyone feels as though they have safety. Based on en.wikipedia.org.
#1: Children Feel Safe With Cooperating Teachers And Parents
The community of the school grows when everyone is talking, and their talks are quite a lot of fun because parents and teachers get to know each other well because of the conferences they have on ClassDojo. Conferences may be formal, or they may be quite informal. Each person who is on a video call with ClassDojo will find it much easier to make a change in a child's education. Children will be given a number of tips to improve, and they will see the adults around them getting along. Go straight to this related link.
#2: Community Cannot Stay In The Building All Day
There are quite a few communities that cannot have parents in the building all day. Parents wish to meet with teachers, but they must have a different form of community to lean on. Video calls from ClassDojo will offer the same results as a traditional conference, and they will be far simpler for everyone to attend. Attending requires nothing more than an Internet connection, and the conferences may be taken from any part of the world.
#3: Parents May Stay In The Community
Parents often feel as though they are missing out because they are out of town for all the major events of the community. The community itself will improve simply because the parents are involved, and it will normalize any parents who are simply not able to be in the building all that often. The video calls are quite personal, and they allow for a number of conversations about each child.
The schools that are using ClassDojo are joining two out of three schools that are using the same program. The program is bringing parents who are not able to be there, and it allows for a number of conference options for each person who has a child in attendance.

The Federal States' Stand on Car insuranceby Jasper Ericks
Do you keep on wondering why auto insurance is mandatory for drivers regardless of their age and experience? Premiums can be quite high for certain types of drivers. This can also be grueling to pay if you are living on a tight budget. Yet if you cannot give up your car entirely, you have to pay for your premiums.

Shopping for insurance policies in the past meant making numerous calls to various companies and / or agents and asking each one about their insurance quotes.

The Best Business Insuranceby Jasper Ericks
As we may know, insurance policy coverage is mandatory and required of citizens in most states. This is a necessary and practical precaution against financial and welfare danger in case of untoward accidents or incidents such as theft or vandalism.

Factors that Insurance Providers Check in Computing Premiumsby Jasper Ericks
Car insurance providers have a lot of techniques in evaluating the risks that they are involved in their policy shoppers. These techniques are all part of the general term called risk pooling. Risk pooling is the assessment of insurance providers of their customers if they are associating themselves in an investment or a liability. This is also the way in which one can lower his premiums.

VICTORVILLE — An 18-year-old man and a juvenile were behind bars after authorities say they allegedly murdered a 20-year-old man on Saturday evening.
San Bernardino County Sheriff's detectives responded to a report of a gunshot victim in the 15500 block of Village Drive in Victorville at approximately 7:20 p.m. Saturday.
The victim, Victorville resident Kalon Dawson, 20, was found suffering from a gunshot wound, authorities said, and was transported to Victor Valley Global Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 7:56 p.m.
During investigation, authorities interviewed witnesses to the shooting and reviewed video surveillance recordings from several businesses. The suspects described by witnesses matched those in the video recordings, authorities said.
Investigators contacted a family at one of the nearby motel rooms around 3 a.m. and arrested Adelanto resident Eric Walton, 18, and a 17-year-old male Victorville resident.
During a search of Walton and the juvenile, a handgun was located, authorities said.
Walton was booked at the High Desert Detention Center and the 17-year-old was booked at the Juvenile Detention Center in Apple Valley, both on suspicion of murder.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is urged to contact Detective Michael Warrick or Sergeant Greg Myler at 909-387-3589. Callers wishing to remain anonymous are urged to call the We-Tip Hotline at 1-800-78-CRIME (27463), or you may leave information on the We-Tip website at www.wetip.com.
