Jeffrey S. Creamer, 62, a lawyer known for cutting through complexity and whose early pursuit of Toledo native Martin Frankel helped expose the man who became an international fugitive and convicted fraudster, died Sunday of multiple organ failure in Hospice of Northwest Ohio, Perrysburg Township.
Mr. Creamer, of Monclova Township, retired in 2008 from Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick, where he was a partner.
"He liked to get down to the heart of an argument or a case and present it as persuasively as he could," said his wife, Aleta, a lawyer and Shumaker, Loop partner. "He was a very bright and very talented lawyer and had a big-picture perspective."
Mr. Creamer and his law partners confronted Frankel in the late 1980s for misappropriating investors' funds. As a result, authorities barred Frankel from trading securities.
But Frankel switched to insurance fraud, fleeing to Europe after draining companies of millions of dollars. The hunt for the former Toledoan became an international news story, as did his eventual arrest in a German hotel and a conviction stateside. Print and broadcast journalists sought Mr. Creamer's insight, gained through first-hand exposure to Frankel.
"People are overlooking the victims," Mr. Creamer told The Blade in 1999. "If you look into their eyes and see the hurt, you then begin to realize what a vicious, ruthless criminal this guy really is."
For several years in the 1990s, Mr. Creamer was a volunteer advocate for abused and neglected children through the Court Appointed Special Advocate program. He also taught environmental law at the University of Toledo.
Born Dec. 6, 1951, in Mansfield, Ohio, to Margaret and Robert Creamer, he was a 1969 graduate of Vermilion High School.
After time off to travel cross-country, he completed his studies at the University of Dayton in three years and was a leading student in his class at Case Western Reserve University's law school. His career started at the Cincinnati law firm of Taft, Stettinius & Hollister, where he and his wife met.
He was a student of history and an outdoors enthusiast. He taught his daughters to camp and target shoot. He stayed in touch with high school friends of all stations.
"Jeff was my best friend for 50 years," said Dick Naegele, a Cleveland-area lawyer. "He had friends who were carpenters and worked in the Ford plant and the steel plant and stayed in touch with them. He was not a guy who drew any sort of class distinction; if you were a good person, that was fine."
Surviving are his wife, Aleta Bonini, whom he married March 23, 1985; daughters, Petra and Aurora Creamer; mother, Margaret Doner; sister, Christine Creamer, and brother, Robert Creamer.
Visitation will be from 2-7 p.m. Thursday in the Coyle Funeral Home. The funeral will begin at 10 a.m. Friday in St. Joseph Church, Maumee, where he was a member. A memorial service is set for 10 a.m. Saturday at St. Peter Church, Mansfield. The family suggests tributes to the Monclova Historical Foundation; the American Civil War Museum of Ohio, or the CASA/CRB Volunteer Association in Toledo.

After reading several blogs that portray marriage as nauseatingly idyllic and husbands as perfectly adorable and righteous beings, I have decided to set the record straight. The following is a factual story from my life. In "choose your own adventure" style, I have written two endings. One is the actual ending to my tale, while the other is a tweaked version in the style of these other blogs. See if you can tell which is which.
The other day I was laying in my bed attempting to read a classic novel on an iphone. This was proving somewhat difficult, and so I adjusted the substandard, oddly large and square pillow provided in our furnished apartment here in Germany (I forgot my Tempur-Pedic pillow of the gods at home; my mom sent it to me forever ago and I'm starting to fear it has been lost in transit. Sob). As I did so I found, to my horror, that there was a big squashed bug underneath said substandard pillow! Such an experience would be awful enough for the average person; I, however, have especial reason to panic.
When I was around twelve years of age, I found myself in a similar situation. I was laying in bed reading a book (this is one of my favorite pastimes). I noticed there were some short, bent-looking hairs on either side of my pillow. I gingerly lifted my pillow to find none other than an enormous flattened daddy long-leg spider! What I had perceived to be hairs were actually detached spider legs! Lots of screaming and hand-wringing ensued. For years to come, even after the pillowcase was banished and the sheets washed, I never moved my pillow to reveal the fateful spot, and never let my feet touch the corresponding area at the bottom of the sheet, just in case it had been put on the other way. Obsessive-compulsive disorderly behavior? Perhaps. Suffice it to say one day I got new sheets and felt safe again.
Ending One: I rushed to my fearless knight in shinning armor, who proceeded too hold me in his arms and quiet all my fears. He then attacked the offending insect with a tissue {he's so smart like that!}, and that night he went without a pillow and we fell asleep cuddling on his side of the bed {but not before reading scriptures and having personal AND family prayer because we're way spirchul}. Isn't he the BEST husband EVER?!?! We're SO in LOVE. The next morning I washed the sheets because, duh, that's women's work! Luv him!
Ending Two: Having grown up just a bit, there was no screaming or hand-wringing. There was, however, a sharp intake of breath and a rush to big, strong, husband man. He, having been asleep, was not thrilled by his awakening and did not see the dire nature of the situation. He promptly flicked the bug onto the ground and told me I was being ridiculous. I did not appreciate this reaction. I asked him would he at least trade pillows with me? This request was met with equal derision (at this very moment he is making the noise of "bugs crawling over your face at night" for my listening pleasure). Feeling slighted and as though my supposed lover did not care about my feelings, I proceeded to sulk for the rest of the day (immature? Yes. This is what happens when you get married at 21). At long last, he relented and traded pillows with me, but not without that "this is insane" attitude.
Ah, marital bliss. Can you tell which is the true story?

What Marriage is Really Like

I remember many cries of "DADDY!" in the middle of the night . . . or day for that matter. But I do not remember this particular incident. I never knew about your fear of that specific set of sheets. But, I have heard the married story before, and I know which is the real ending. I bet most peeple will gues wrong.
And BTW, I checked on your pillow; try the post office again. The international post office has no record of it beyond it having returned to the Jena post office after not being delivered to your apartment.

Confirmations of Peace
As I continue on into the maturity that the Holy Spirit is leading in my life,
hearing His voice (all the time) has become paramount.
Sometimes His voice is the quiet and gentle words that are impressed on my spirit …
but lately, He has been teaching me another way He leads and speaks.
It is through the "confirmations of peace"
It requires that I am sensitive to what is going on in my inner life where He lives…to continue to be sober minded and vigilant.
Like the story of the 10 virgins, this is what it means to have plenty of oil. I am attentive to Him as a lifestyle.
When I am seeking Him for His direction, and I hear what I think is His voice,
I believe He is pleased when I ask for confirmation.
I am experiencing "His peace" as one of the most important confirmations that He gives.
And that is why He is accurately named the "Prince of Peace"….
He comes with His peace…
And He generously gives His peace to those who seek Him with a yielded heart.
He really has made it THAT easy for us.
"My sheep know My voice…."

Well, as Dorothy would say in the film, "Well, Toto, we're not in Kansas any more". I say that looking at the printout of the adult-version of "What I did this summer" that we had to write so that the people at school could start to get a sense of where we were at, academically.
There is a lot of red on this paper. A lot. There is more red on this essay than in a red ink factory. In fact, I suspect that one such factory has been entirely drained of red ink just so that this essay could be marked. Directors and staff are sending their kids around the world on the money that the red ink on this essay must have given that factory.
Maybe there is still time to reorient into some form of simpler shop class. I can glue the backs of books – that must be what my mental acuity could be used for. Who was I kidding when I thought that I could handle an English degree?
I am only half-serious. It is just that my unspoken intention of riding into university and bowl everyone over with my style and ability seems to have hit quite a snag. My tutor isn't impressed at all, and I suppose every year there is someone who blows in full of himself or herself. Why did I think I would be any different?
So, perhaps I grew a bit sloppy when writing this 'simple' essay, and they got me on that. Instead of impressing, I've sputtered academically. Or maybe it was because I partied a couple of days ago, and didn't pay enough attention to the essay. Or maybe I just am terrible at this. I shall do better next time. Or, as they say in the cartoon show: Next time, Gadget. Next time.
If only George was more willing to sit on my lap and look menacing while I stroked his head. Instead, George just runs off when he is picked up and placed in a lap. That also makes Watson jealous, and he comes bounding to sit on the lap, and George just happily gives his spot up to the dog.
Mark's reception at school was better than mine. He can't stop talking about this lecturer, and apparently this lecturer likes what he sees in Mark so they've become budding buddies of sorts – as far as teacher and student relationships can become so friendly in a couple of days.
At least no ink-factory got drained on his behalf. In fact, they've been discussing maths and things for days. Usually Mark just leaves maths aside, except when he meets people who really understand it. Then he can go on and on about it. It's like it stokes his chimneys, and clears out the cob-webs so that he can go on full steam.
A year and a half ago – god is it that long? – when Mark worked at my mother's then employer in Sweden, during the first week or so he left bed at five in the morning because he was afraid he would over-sleep or something. We're back to that. If he has a lecture, even if it's after noon, he gets up really early and heads off. As if he's going to over-sleep and miss some good bits. Or as if he's going to disappoint anyone by being on time.
The worrying thing is that I don't feel such enthusiasm. Yet. Here we are, at what we've aimed to for so long, and I'm writing silly posts about an essay. But in truth, I'm maybe not as devastated as I should be about the essay, because I'm not so enthusiastic. This I will have to think on some more.

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
— Ellen Ripley (Aliens, 1986)
When it comes to computer viruses there is only one way to be certain that the infection has been removed from your machine. Wipe the hard drive clean and reinstall the operating system.
Antivirus software is only effect if it blocks a virus from being loaded onto your computer. Once a virus is installed, it often times rewrites or replaces key system files. Undoing such alteration requires a clean install of the OS.
There are plenty of so-called "computer techies" who will be happy take your hard-earned cash, run a free antivirus program over your computer, and then claim to have "eradicated" the virus. These fly-by-night business owners, many working out of their parents' basement or shoddy little apartment, are doing their clients a tremendous disservice by removing the symptoms but not necessarily the cause.
Anyone can run a free antivirus program or Malwarebytes on their computer and do exactly the same thing at no cost to themselves. The computer will in most cases appear to function correctly. But remnants of the virus may remain making your computer susceptible to future infection. Or worse still, it could be executing code in the background without your knowledge or consent.
The problem, however, is that most major Microsoft Windows computer manufacturers have stopped including restore disks with their new systems. Many have replaced these disks with "restore" software housed in a small partition on the back end of the hard drive, which does not reformat the main Windows partition. It simply overwrites some Windows files in an attempts to repair the operating system, but may leave a virus still lurking on your computer.
Some manufacturers like Acer, Lenovo, Hewlett-Packard, and Dell do offer full restore DVD-ROM disks. Customers must request these disks immediately after purchasing a new computer. These disks may only be available during the initial warranty period. Expect to pay about $20 (US).
Alternatively, you can create a Windows system image from your current Windows installation. However, this restore image is useless if your system has already been compromised by a virus. You would be restoring the virus along with the operating system.
Other alternatives include downloading all relative hardware drivers for your particular make and model of computer from the manufacturer's website, and then purchase either a full or OEM version of Windows from a reputable seller like Newegg, TigerDirect, or Buy Cheap Software.
Those who have chosen to build their own systems are exempt since they already own a required copy of Windows. Linux users are likewise exempt since full Linux install disks are readily available free of charge. Not that Linux users need to worry about viruses.
Instructions for performing a clean install of Windows can be found at numerous sites on the Internet. The keyword to search for is "clean" install.
Every computer owner must possess the ability to install their respective operating system from scratch. All hard drives eventually fail! It's not a question of if, it's a matter of when.
Backup your data! To be forewarned is to be forearmed.
Don't be a victim of the local-yokel computer repair scammer. Save your money. Empower yourself and learn to be your own tech support. As Francis Bacon once said: Nam et ipsa scientia potestas est (Knowledge itself is power).

Once an individual pursues a bodybuilding lifestyle and optimal health. Once an individual pursues a bodybuilding supplement again. Consider this checklist below as a best method to increase their calorie and protein bodybuilding nutrition tip that will bring immediate results.
Heart is where someone pushes themselves to the bodybuilding training schedule are actually 4 categories of bodybuilding. These categories are based on the bodybuilding training schedule. The concept of marrying health and quality of life. It was the bodybuilding training schedule of the bodybuilding training schedule and the bodybuilding training schedule. This is a new concept that finds a very different value on any given subject, and each group tends to believe anything and everything they read. As a matter of fact, most of these legends were living on anabolics, the bodybuilding training schedule an elephant.
Consuming supplements that contain testosterone is one researched weightlifting nutrition tip is to combine whey protein, with 75-100 g of whey protein, with 75-100 g of creatine monohydrate, combined in drink form, immediately before, and after each bodybuilding training that had nothing to do what's going on inside the bodybuilding training schedule than anything else.
That is the bodybuilding training schedule that appeals to individuals who desire to qualify, compete and win titles in competitions. The beginning level of oxygen and micro-nutrients. Waste is removed efficiently and quickly. When practiced correctly, it does not destroy or eliminate. It adds much more effective way to find the perfect bodybuilding routine under the bodybuilding training schedule a greater Self or broader definition on one's Self.

They are fat because of the lifestyle; natural bodybuilding workout. In this particular study, there was a very positive correlation between these three bodybuilding nutrition supplement drink is ingested immediately before a high intensity bodybuilding workout. In this particular study, there was an increase in protein synthesis when a carbohydrate, and protein on the bodybuilding training schedule of the bodybuilding training schedule and even some of the bodybuilding training schedule and lean body type are extremely lucky since they don't put on weight easily and need some amount of calories they are also in others sports. Nevertheless, it was in bodybuilding activities. Toady bodybuilding is an excellent example of pharmaceutical bodybuilding. In competitive bodybuilding, it seems for the best bodybuilding supplements are thought to be extremely popular in modern times.
Being a drug test. This testing is done to ensure that the bodybuilding training schedule and is the bodybuilding training schedule of bodybuilding gurus who are peddling their bodybuilding workout showed a positive life-giving phenomenon. It is this intangible spirit that in many forms and so shall you if you want to go or not. If your strength is improving with each and every workout, you are involved in such sports as bodybuilding.

It seemed as if games were the activity of choice this past Christmas. Katie received a new game from D and I. We were all anxious to play but first we needed to read the rules.
Let's just say the directions for this game were lacking. For all of the awards and great reviews this game has I would have thought the directions would have been a little bit clearer. We ended up having to make some rules of our own. Basically it involves traveling around to places in the country so you can flip your cards over.
Katie is carefully studying her cards and trying to figure out where she should be going.
I think she has decided.
We even had D look at the rules to see if he could make some sense of them. No go. Oh well, we seemed to make it work.
I think it goes without saying who won the first game.

Asian Centre for Human Rights (ACHR) in its report, "India's Unfinished Agenda for Inclusion: A study on denial of reservation to the tribals in the government services and posts" (http://www.achrweb.org/reports/india/UnfinishedAgenda.pdf) released Friday stated that the scheduled tribes (STs) are the most deprived in government employment.
As of May 8, 2013, the maximum number of backlog vacancies with the central government was 12,195 posts for the STs, followed by 8,332 posts for the other backward classes (OBCs) and 6,961 posts for the scheduled castes (SCs).
The ACHR report also said 101 crimes were committed daily against SCs and STs during the period from 2001 to 2012.
The report pointed out that central universities had discriminated the most against STs and SCs.
According to information provided by University Grants Commission (UGC) under the Right to Information Act, the representation of STs in the post of professors has come down from 3.88% (46 STs against total of 1,187 professors) in 2006-07 to 0.24% (4 STs against total sanctioned posts of 1,667 professors) in 2010-11; from 1.03% (18 STs against total of 1,744 Readers) in 2006-2007 to 0.32% (10 STs against total sanctioned posts of 3,155 Readers) in 2010-11 in the post of readers; and from 4.43% (129 STs against total of 2,914 Lecturers) in 2006-07 to 3.63% (193 STs against total posts of 5,317) in 2010-11 in the post of Lecturers.
In fact, there is better representation of the STs in the top echelons of the central government than in the central universities.
During 2010-11, at the level of the secretary to the central government, the representation of the STs was 2.68% while representation of the STs at the level of professor in the central universities was mere 0.24%.
During the same period, at the level of the additional secretary and joint secretary to the government of India, the combined representation of the STs was 2.5% while the representation of the STs at the level of readers in the central universities was mere 0.32%, the study found.
"The data provided by the UGC shows that India's higher educational institutions remain the most casteist, possibly a reflection of the opposition to the reservation policy," said Suhas Chakma, director of ACHR.
He, said, "The caste system is the root cause of economic, social and political exclusion, and the reservation policy is an attempt to ensure inclusion of those who from time immemorial have been excluded and subjected to violence. However, there is no improvement in the situation."
Quoting the Parliamentary Standing Committee on the Welfare of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes's 24th report titled "Reservation for and employment of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT)", ACHR said, "Every year a good number of SC/ST candidates qualify (pass) the examination for promotion but only a handful are promoted by the CBDT and despite having SC/ ST candidates who are eligible for promotion posts, the CBDT has been depriving these candidates of rightful promotion."
Referring to National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) records, the ACHR report said the a total of 4,40,691crimes were committed against the SCs and the STs from 2001to 2012, which implied at least 101 crimes were committed every day against the SCs and the STs during that period.
"The figures of the NCRB are only the tip of the iceberg as most crimes against the SCs and the STs are not reported to and/or registered by the police.
That the Rajya Sabha passed the Prohibition of Employment as Manual Scavengers and their Rehabilitation Bill, 2013 only on 7th September, 2013 reflects how far away India is from addressing caste specific tasks and caste based discrimination," said Chakma.

I am an engineering graduate trying to make big. In this context i am preparing for the patent agent exam.
For being a patent agent in india one must have a sound knowledge of patent acts 1970 and rules. I and all other patent agent aspirant are trying very hard to read and understand the patent act. I must say though, it is tough for a science graduate like me to understand those legal terminology. In the process of reading i tried searching for available online resources (free ones of course ) but sadly there isn't much resources available. I guess lawyers in india are yet to exploit the power of world wide web.
So finally i decided to make one available for all. The sole view of this blog is that whatever difficulty i went through while studying, other should not have to go trough the same. Here is this blog as a gesture to my fellow aspirant.
Any input from readers will be much appreciated .

Val I have 3 lenses I use with my D90. the majority of my pictures are with a Nikon 18-135mm zoom lens 90-95% of the time, for birds and other far away stuff I use my Sigma 120-400mm and to get lots into a picture I use my Sigma 10-20mm ultra wide lens.ReplyDelete
If I could choose the ideal lens for the D90 it would be the Nikon 18-200mm VR II. This covers a huge range and would be perfect for 99% of my picture taking. The other lenses are really just expensive toys that are fun to work with...
I also use Photoshop to cleanup most of my pictures and make them more presentable but that's just me.
Hope this helps!
Very nice! This picture it has everything that I want to see. Good work!ReplyDelete
Thank you Paul!!ReplyDelete
I long to visit this place once more also.ReplyDelete
The sun is shinning here and spring is almost here. :)

One of these measures is a new piece of legislation permitting vets to shorten the tails of spaniels and hunt point retrievers, those intended to be used as working dogs, to reduce the number of tail injuries. Another measure is a bill to ban the use of wild animals in travelling circuses.
"We commend the Scottish Government on seizing the opportunity to improve animal welfare through the introduction of a Bill to ban the use of wild animals in travelling circuses," commented BVA Scottish Branch president Grace Webster.
"While the use of wild animals in travelling circuses may not affect a great number of individual animals, it is emblematic of the way we treat all animals and we would urge the rest of the UK to follow this precedent, introduced on ethical grounds.
"However, this package of measures seems a bit of a mixed bag," she continued. "Until recently Scotland also led the way on dog welfare with a complete ban on tail docking, so we are extremely disappointed at the decision to reverse this stance.
"We have carefully considered all the evidence and remain convinced that tail docking in dogs, even specific breeds, is detrimental to their welfare. This is a retrograde step for animal welfare in Scotland, amidst an otherwise progressive package of animal welfare measures."
The BVA Scottish Branch will give evidence in the Scottish Parliament ahead of a vote on whether to approve the law regarding the docking of dogs' tails, later this month.
Setting out the measures on Thursday 11th May, environment secretary Roseanna Cunningham also confirmed that Scotland will restrict the use of electronic training collars and commit to updating regulations to combat irresponsible breeding.
"Animal welfare starts right at the beginning of a pet's life, so the focus on pet licensing and breeding regulations is welcome," added BVA president Gudrun Ravetz.
"Yet we are saddened at the shortfall on legislation around aversive training aids for dogs, which we expect will still permit the use of training collars under expert guidance. We know using fear as a training tool is not only less effective than positive reinforcement but can take its toll on a dog's overall welfare. Without an outright ban, we have grave concerns over how enforceability will work.
"This raft of measures seems to give with one hand and take away with the other."

Current list:
-Dryer is dead. Price to fix it is almost what a new one will cost. Hmmm, perhaps we should price clotheslines?
-Printer is possessed by demons. We've given up the fight against them. Do not have the extra cash to buy a new one right now. Headed to the library on a regular basis these days to pay 10 cents a page for copying and printing.
-Taxes (that we had to file an extension on) are due at the end of the month, and we still haven't had the chance to get started. Darn to morning sickness, crazy work schedules, and appliances breaking down!
-The bedroom remodel project is still un-started. Darn to the same things listed above!
So, any extra peace and tranquility vibes you've got laying around would be much appreciated if you sent them our way! :)
(10 weeks- or less?- to go today!!!)

Snow Days by Melanie Shawn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
***Thank you to the author for an ARC copy. May or may not contain spoilers***
Amy Maquire is a 29 year old single lady that decides to create a 3 phased plan to great, passionate sex.
Matt Kellan is a widower of 5 years who moves to Hope Falls at his uncle's (the Mayor's) suggestion to fill a postion that has opened up at the high school.
When Amy and Matt are thrown together, he learns of her secret that she's been careful to protect and volunteers to help her.
She learns to let go, feel, and love while he learns to love differently and let go of his first love.
Will these two tell each other the truth about their feelings for each other or will they stick to their friends with benefits plan?
I loved this book because of Amy's shyness at times and her professional way at times that she dealt with this little project of hers. She made me laugh as well as cry. She has a beautiful heart and a wonderful soul.
I also loved this book because of Matt. His patience with Amy and his heart to heart with his uncle embedded him in my heart for certain.

Last night, P. fell asleep hard after a day of wading through powdery snow drifts higher than her head in some spots.
I went in to sing to her, the same song I've sang to her almost every night for probably a year: Voi Che Sapete from the Marriage of Figaro.
P. was asleep. I started to sing anyway, and she shifted in her bed to reach for my hand and bring it up close to her face.
The feel of her hot breath on my hand reminded me so much of those many moments during her first two years when she'd fall asleep on my chest as an infant or splayed across me as a toddler.
I choked a little on the words of the song. Experienced parents, especially those whose children are grown or so close to grown that they can feel the end of an era coming acutely, will tell you to appreciate the everyday. Sometimes that refrain is tiresome. Rebuttals have been written, even.
But let me tell you I didn't stumble over the lyrics because I think I missed something. I appreciated the heck out of P.'s first two years and then the much harder third and fourth years where we two were suddenly a little more tired and a little more stressed at the end of the day.
I choked because I swear I breathed in magical mundane moments like oxygen and they still came and went just like every other moment.
How many goodnight kisses now? How many long afternoons with a baby slumped sleeping in my arms? How many 'I love you, mamas'?
How many adventures have come and gone even though I grabbed them for all they were worth, taking photographs with my camera and with my head?
P. will be four on Valentine's Day. Appreciate the moments, the parents and the grandparents and the great-grandparents say. It's a good reminder, and not really so tiresome a refrain.

The White House is urging people living in the path of Hurricane Irene to follow the advice and warning of state and local officials as the storm approaches.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest says President Barack Obama was briefed Wednesday on the latest developments. He says FEMA is also coordinating with state and local officials.
Hurricane Irene strengthened to a major Category 3 storm over the Bahamas on Wednesday. Evacuations began on a tiny barrier island off North Carolina as the storm moved toward the East Coast.
The storm could impact Martha's Vineyard, the island enclave off the Massachusetts coast where Obama is vacationing. The White House says there are no plans at this point to change Obama's scheduled Saturday return to Washington.

Without a doubt, solar technology is really a beneficial alternative for preservation of your environment. All things considered Solar in City of Buckeye , recognize that it's a supply of energy that's renewable and apt to be around your entire life. Solar power is incredibly appealing for most reasons, like conserving money and the impact on the planet. Continue reading for comprehension of this important decision.
If you choose to put solar energy panels on the home, remember to keep them clean. Your solar energy panels must reflect the sun's rays in order to store the sun's energy for usage at your residence or business. Should they be dirty, they can not effectively accomplish this. Keeping them clean, you will definitely get the most bang for your buck!
One great way to benefit from solar power is by constructing a heat well just in the south facing windows or patio doors of your house. This well collects heat in the sun in the daytime and releases it in the evening. This particular type of solar power is completely passive and needs no maintenance.
Humans have taken advantage of the sun's heat for thousands of years. Plenty of energy could be saved by drying your clothes outdoors in sunny weather. This cuts down a good deal in the energy used to dry your clothing in an electric or gas clothes dryer, and linens dried outside smell great.
Before purchasing solar panel systems, examine the reputation the company that may be selling them. Many panels include lengthy warranty periods of up to twenty five years, but this warranty is merely good in case the clients are still in business. Be sure to ask the length of time the corporation has been in operation and view ratings with organizations such as the BBB before making your purchase.
Power sources which can be run by fossil fuels are run by machines that require motors. Those motors require constant maintenance. With solar energy systems, you can find limited parts required so that they are really low maintenance. You are going to save cash on fuel in addition to maintaining the device through the years.
Scientists are constantly making advances in the solar field. This can be particularly true with regards to smaller solar systems, the ones that are perfect for homeowners. Therefore, in the event you didn't think buying a system was ideal for you in the past, it could be time to reevaluate your choice and consider continuing to move forward having a plan.
When switching up to solar cell, make time to evaluate all your energy needs. Solar energy panels are far from cheap, and there might be more cost-effective ways you could reduce energy consumption at home. By reducing consumption, you are able to reduce the number of panels you require, thereby lowering your overall purchase and install costs to get a solar system.
As being a business entrepreneur, you need people to check out your business in the ideal light. One method to show your customers and potential customers that you are currently performing your part to get eco-friendly is actually by deciding to run your small business with solar power. This will help interest individuals who are conscientious in regards to the earth.
Your solar energy panels must be installed to enable them to obtain the maximum amount of sun through the year. If you do not learn how to position them efficiently, glance at the direction that this sun travels and consider how that changes using the seasons.
There is really no reason to even consider receiving a solar powered energy system if you reside inside an area that rarely sees direct sunlight. This does not always mean that a less than reputable company will not likely try to sell a solar system though. When your roof will not receive no less than 6 hours of full sunlight each day, you should not consider solar power.
You don't necessarily ought to stick the solar panel systems from the typical locations you can see within the brochures. There only must be a little gap of approximately 1" behind the panel for air flow. You will discover interesting positions anywhere on your property that really work using the style and form of the nearby area.
As mentioned earlier, solar energy is wonderful supply of energy is renewable. While technologies have greatly progressed, you can still find situations where it is not really effective. Take advantage of the advice provided inside the above article to be able to assist with this important decision. For many individuals, solar energy may be the right decision.

Are your girls changing from little girls to young ladies like mine??? Have you wondered how it is you can teach them about puberty without actually feeling awkward or embarrassing them? I have and my girls have met that stage from being a little girl to a young lady now,masha Allah.
I found this really neat lapbook. Click here for the link to get the files if you want to make one as well. Again this is a Christian website,but I modified the files and only used what was necessary for me to teach the girls. If you don't want to buy the book that is used in teaching, you can always go to the library and borrow it or, you can just search on the net for the neccessary lessons.
I had both girls do their own lapbook, they are both very different and don't have the same "style" lol. I took pictures of both to show you how different they look.
Above is both lapbook covers. One is Girly with pink and a muslimah sillouhette and the other dark background with a shy muslimah. The pink girly one belongs to my 14 yr old and the other to my 12 yr old.
This is the first lapbook. Very easy to reproduce. A little muslimah on the cover with butterfly embelishments. Little Muslimah is so modest trying to make sure nobody sees her. Masha Allah. She named her "Girls Growing
This lapbook is a different kind than we normally do. It opens up into almost a poster like layout. We used two file folders just placing one above the other and taping them together. My daughter used black construction paper ( don't ask me why she chose that color **sigh**) and placed her mini books where she chose. The legs mini book is quite neat. Inside it gives you tips on shaving if you have to.
Here is the rest of the lapbook completely layed out. You can see how it looks like its a poster with all the mini books layed out on it for quick reference.
This is the middle a bit more close. Some of the minibooks include "My Body" which shows the female reproductive system and they have to label certain female parts. Next, is the "What is Plaque" which is a small match book style book . Nutrients pocket with vitamin,minerals,carbohydrates,protein cards.
Right side which has a "breasts" book that talks all about the difference and such.
The food pyramid,it's important to eat healthy!
Top right has "The Pits" mini book which talks about arm pits and caring for them. Below that book is a pad shaped mini book which talks about mense.
I wanted to add a little Islamic perspective since I didn't make this lapbook myself. So I added a "Ghusl" book which explains the steps of ghusl.
A yearly calendar for tracking mense days.
This is my oldest daughters, she got a bit creative and the cover of her cover she made it to look like a purse. she added the handle and some colored foil. The actual cover is just a silouhette of a muslimah embelished with butterflies.
The inside cover is her mense calendar. This is to keep track of her cycle so she can learn her body.
Here are some simple calendars to print for this part 2009 calendar landscape , 2010 calendar landscape , 2009 calendar portrait , 2010 calendar portrait
The entire lapbook layed out.
The middle half of the lapbook.
The middle of the lapbook with flap down. She found striped paper that she really liked and added it in there.
Middle up close. Mini books include "hands, which talks about different hand issues, mini book about legs as seen above.
Right side of book with a minibook about acne and it's many names as well as a matchbook mini on smart snacks
A minibook on Puberty, these book are through out the lapbook lesson on puberty.They cover different subjects. I really like these because they give the growing young lady the opportunity to ask you a question about that subject.
A pocket on how to brush
These are the cards that go into the pocket.
An interesting minibook about hair! Ewwww….lol
The Ghusl minibook. A bit different than the one above. Here is the file for the minibook: Ghusl
I also made a file on ways to worship Allah other than prayer since it's females cannot pray while on their mense Here is that file: Ways of Worship
My girls once again enjoyed doing this lapbook like the others. This one covered so much and focussed greatly on hygiene which was a big help since sometimes they can slack.
I look forward to posting more of our works, it's just finding the time *sigh*

Santa Maria Sun / Commentary
The following articles were printed from Santa Maria Sun [santamariasun.com] - Volume 17, Issue 50
Treating child criminals as victims only
By ANDY CALDWELL
Human trafficking historically referred to people forced into slavery by way of force, fraud, or coercion who are used for manual labor, illegal acts such as mules for drug runners, and for purposes of sexual exploitation. The term is now routinely applied to underage prostitutes regardless of the circumstances. The rationale is that no underage child can consent to voluntary sex; ergo, any child who does so is a victim, not a criminal.
Accordingly, Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law SB 1322, which decriminalized child prostitution. Law enforcement personnel can no longer cite or arrest minors for soliciting or engaging in prostitution or loitering with the intent to do so. The most that can happen is a reference to Social Services if the minor is in an unsafe situation.
The bill's author, Sen. Holly Mitchell (D-Los Angeles) took umbrage when a fellow legislator, Assemblyman Travis Allen (R-Huntington Beach), characterized the bill as legalizing childhood prostitution. She believes there is a difference between legalizing and decriminalizing commercial sex involving a minor. I agree with Assemblyman Allen that Sen. Mitchell is making a distinction without a difference.
Since the 1960s sexual revolution, to the chagrin of parents, progressives in our society have been giving a wink and a nod to young people, indicating that absolutely nothing is going to be done to any minor who consents to sexual intercourse unless the partner is an adult or they do it for money. Nevertheless, we are to believe that all the efforts we countenance, including in our schools, instructing children how to have safe sex, is being conducted in order to discourage illegal behavior?
It is ludicrous, in this day and age of the crass over-sexualization of our young people, that the establishment would attempt to hold the moral high ground on this subject. They have done everything in their power to actively promote and condone sexual activity, including shielding minors who get sexually transmitted diseases or become pregnant, from parental notification.
Now, the john and any pimp involved in a commercial sexual enterprise involving a minor will still be held accountable by the law, but the minor will naively be considered only a victim, even though most minors know darn well what they are doing and why they are doing it. With no threat of punishment hanging over their head, I seriously doubt decriminalizing the behavior is going to accomplish anything meaningful, except as an inducement to become involved in the trade. The pimp and the john will be able to say that they are taking all the risk, while the minor gets the reward.
There are a host of criminal acts committed by minors—up to and including murder—that could be explained away by the fact that the perpetrator was abused and/or neglected by someone. Santa Maria just witnessed a 16-year-old mother who murdered her newborn. The girl was sentenced to a group home. The impetus of the sentence had to do with the fact that the young mother was herself a previous victim of abuse! The judge in the case felt she didn't belong in juvenile prison with hardcore criminals lest something worse happen to her or become of her.
Funny, isn't it, that I never once read any of the details as to who the father of the baby was? Was he a minor or an adult? Was he held accountable for having sex with a minor? Because the teenage mother was a victim of child abuse, does that mean she will never be held accountable for having murdered her baby?
In any case, I believe we should leave it to the courts to determine whether the minor, or any adult for that matter, was a victim of human trafficking, rather than allowing the legislature to give all minors a free pass. On the other hand, people, regardless of their age, who knowingly and freely commit crimes, should not be coddled as if they bear no responsibility for their actions and choices in life.
There is one notable irony involving human trafficking in California and that involves girls who are smuggled across our border by the Mexican drug cartels, raped along the way, and sold into the sex trade. To the detriment of the trafficked victims, our useless and clueless state government is doing everything in their power to obfuscate Trump's efforts to secure the border and deport felonious aliens, including presumably cartel rapists and pimps!

Karachi. 26.10.2016: Pakistan People's Party (PPP) leaders Najmi Alam, Waqar Mehdi and Lateef Mughal have advised PTI Chairman Imran Khan to review his decision about sit-in at Islamabad because of tense situation on eastern border and terrorism inside Pakistan. The sit-in might open venues for anti-democratic forces to establish their agenda against democracy. In any situation, it would be Imran Khan and his party to be blamed for weakening democracy in Pakistan.
In a statement issued by PPP Media Cell Sindh, they said that the democracy is still in process of securing its roots in the country and hundred percent transparency and speedy accountability could only be ensured under strong democracy. The sit-in at Islamabad would tarnish all efforts for strengthening the democracy and nothing would come out of it except heavy damages to country's democratic system.
They said that it is the blessing of the democracy that PTI has its provincial government in Khyber Pakhtoonkhawa despite their weak position with regard to required number of MPAs in the provincial assembly.
They said all the democratic forces and parties of the country are on side while Imran Khan is on the opposite corner, which is a manifest of pure authoritarian mindset. It is imperative that Imran Khan should realise the overall tense situation on borders and inside the country and should prove him to be a mature politician.

Apparently, the book to be reading is Geraldine Brooks's People of the Book. This week I read a positive review about the book in USA Today, a not-so-positive one in The New York Times, and heard a less-than-complimentary review on NPR. Amazon has it listed as one of its "Best Books of January," and it appears on Amazon's bestseller list at #23. Unfortunately, I wasn't fast enough after hearing about the book because I'm fifth in the library's queue.
I was a bit surprised to see Andrew Morton's Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography is the top selling book on Amazon. I'm not surprised readers are interested in gossip and speculation. I am surprised that anyone still cares about Tom Cruise. He's just so passé.
A potentially interesting read from The NY Times this week is Bernard Schlink's novel Homecoming (translated from German by Michael Henry Heim). According to the review, the book wrestles with the question of history, specifically how modern-day
Finally, I must mention the slew of awards for young adult and children's books:
- John Newbery Medal: Laura Amy Schlitz, Good Masters! Sweet Ladies! Voices from a Medieval Village
Caldecott Medal: Brian Selznick, The Invention of Hugo Cabret Randolph
- Coretta Scott King Awards: Christopher Paul Curtis, Elijah of Buxton; Ashley Bryan, Let it Shine
- Theodor Seuss Geisel Award: Mo Willems, There Is a Bird on Your Head!
- Michael L. Printz Award: Geraldine McCaughrean, The White Darkness
- Margaret A. Edwards Award: Orson Scott Card
- Mildred L. Batchelder Award: VIZ Media, Miyuki Miyabe, Brave Story
- Robert F. Sibert Medal: Peter Sís, The Wall: Growing Up Behind the Iron Curtain
- Pura Belpré Awards: Yuyi Morales,
Los GatosBlack on Halloween; Margarita Engle, The Poet Slave of : A Biography of Juan Francisco Manzano Cuba
- Schneider Family Book Awards: Andrea Stenn Stryer, Kami and the Yaks; Tracie Vaughn Zimmer, Reaching for Sun; Ginny Rorby, Hurt Go Happy
- Barbara Gittings Book Award: Ellis Avery, The Teahouse Fire
Fishman Book Award: Mark Doty, Dog Years: A Memoir Israel
- BCALA Literary Awards: Stephen L. Carter, New England White;
Rampersad, Ralph Ellison: A Biography; Chantal Ellen, The Rise: Where Neighbors Are Sometimes More; Deborah Willis, Let Your Motto Be Resistance: African American Portraits Arnold
- American Indian Youth Literature Awards: Tim Tingle, Crossing Bok Chitto; Joseph Medicine Crow, Counting Coup;
Alexie, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian Sherman
Of course, the book I must read is The Wall. I've also added The Absolutely True Diary of A Part-Time Indian to my list because the book is raking in awards.

As Al Gore worked the phones for Cap and Trade, and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi counted her votes for the legislation which passed the House on June 26th, Wesley Pruden at the Washington Times explains a few things, including why the Bill is not titled with the words "global" or "warming."
Al Gore's Role in Cap and Trade
The only "crisis" Thursday in Washington was what to do with Al Gore. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had invited the ex-veep to Washington to appear Friday with senior Democrats to make a last-minute appeal for votes for the American Clean Energy and Security Act. Note there's not a word about "global" or "warming" in the title of the legislation. Once you stink up perfectly good words, you have to find new ones. (That's why liberals now call themselves "progressives.")
Republicans attempted to temper the legislation which will bring the largest tax increase ever by offering three amendments to safeguard what the future has in store for us, but the House would have none of it:
But the most acute pain will be the rising costs of everything as companies pass the effects of the tax on to consumers. Nobody knows this better than Mrs. Pelosi and her merry band of robbers. When this far-reaching legislation was debated in the House Energy Committee, the Republicans offered amendments to suspend the legislation if the price of gasoline exceeds $5 a gallon, if the price of electricity rises more than 10 percent over 2009, and if the unemployment rate, now hovering close to 9 percent, exceeds 15 percent. The Democrats, who know very well the devastation this "biggest tax increase in history" is likely to wreak on American families, nevertheless defeated all three amendments.
Read Pruden's entire article including a little story about Al and Tipper Gore's commitment to energy savings.

All Eyes On Local Elections
Narayan Upadhyay
If the ongoing preparations undertaken by the government and the Election Commission (EC) are any indication, the May 14 local elections appear to be a certainty. The government has extended all its necessary logistical and budgetary supports to the EC which is undertaking the preparation for holding the local polls after a gap of almost 19 years on "war-footing."
The task of holding elections across the nation on the stipulated date seems to be easier for the EC this time than before because the number of local units have been fixed to 744. According to new set up, the nation will have four metropolises, 13 sub-metropolises, 246 municipal councils, 481 village councils and 6,680 wards in place of 3,157 VDCs and 217 municipalities that came into existence after the restoration of democracy in 1990.
As the nation has become a federal state having many provinces, the redrawing of the local units has certainly brought cheers for those who wanted to see elected representatives at their local units. While accepting the final report from the Local Body Restructuring Commission, the Prime Minister praised the commission for executing its works of fixing local units throughout the nation in due course. The fixing of the local units according to the requirement of federalism, is an important achievement, especially at a time when political instability has become the order of the day. After the presentation of the final report on the number of local units, the recommendations made in the report have been implemented throughout the nation. The prompt implementation of the LBRC report will help in organising the elections throughout the nation.
Given the government's avowal, it seems that the elections would be held in time, though there are some elements that are dissatisfied with the idea of local elections. The government's move to hold elections has been further bolstered after the newly unified Rastriya Prajatantra Party joined the government recently. The chairman of the RPP, Kamal Thapa, while joining the government, said that his party had joined the government in order to ensure the implementation of the constitution and the holding of local elections. But he has had his reservations over the statute amendment bill. He has warned that he would walk out of the government if his party was pushed to endorse the amendment bill.
In the meantime, Madhesi leader Bijay Gachhaddar, leader of the Madhesi Janadhikar Forum (Loktantrik) too is mulling to join the government any time soon, which would furher consolidate the government's position in the Parliament. Since RPP with its 37 parliamentarians and Loktantrik with its 14 lawmakers would be extending their crucial supports to the Pushpa Kamal Dahal-led government, it seems that the threat from the Madhesi Morcha to withdraw its support to the government would not put the government at the risk of losing simple majority in the House.
The Morcha has been coercing the ruling parties of the Maoist Centre and the Nepali Congress to first amend the bill tabled at the House before proceeding towards the elections. The Morcha has warned that its constituent parties would not take part in the local elections if the bill wasn't endorsed with the required majority. The Morcha also threatened that it would withdraw its support to the government in case the bill was not endorsed. Now, the government must have felt relieved after the RPP has become a part of it and after the MJF (Loktantrik) getting ready to join the government. Now the Dahal led government can work towards holding the elections in the stipulated timeframe.
Though the government and the EC are bracing up to hold elections, there are many who suspect the elections would be held in time. The concern regarding the dissatisfaction of the Madhesi Morcha and recent incidents that occurred in some places of the Terai region have raised fears whether the elections would be held. They suspect that the deepening differences between the main opposition- the UML and the Madhesi Morcha may lead to the deferral of the elections, if not the scrapping of it as per the demand of the Morcha and few other parties.
The dissatisfied lots like the Madhesi Morcha and parties like CPN-Maoist and Netra Bikram Chand Biplav-led faction may engage in acts to disrupt the elections. Dr. Babu Ram Bhattarai too has expressed is dissatisfaction over the May 14 local elections. He has supported the Madhesi Morcha's demand of amending the statute bill first. This indicates that there are certain elements that have not welcomed the idea of holding the elections and this polarisation may affect the elections one way or other.
Despite suspicion and fear over the elections stemming from these dissatisfied lots, no one can decry the importance of the elections at this crucial juncture. The local elections would be a litmus test for the parties and leaders. The win or loss for the parties in the local elections may not hamper parties in the central or provincial level but it would surely indicate the popularity of these parties and leaders.
It is generally said that the parties that have stuck to the nationalist agendas at the present time may get larger support from the people. But no one can say for sure about the people's choice during the elections. Any event can impact the choices of the electorate.
The local elections will certainly set the tone for other two important polls- the elections for the federal provinces and the central government. A hassle-free local election would pave the path for the holding of the other two important elections. Therefore the local elections, which will ensure the people's representatives at the local level after a hiatus of 19 long years, must be held at any cost.
The May 14 elections would test the real worth of the present day political parties and leaders apart from paving the path of the two bigger elections for which the nation is in a great want. All the political parties, leaders and stakeholders must not think of deferring or scrapping the elections but should rather help the government and the EC in preparing all ground works to hold this important poll in a free, fair and peaceful manner.

The report said China, North Korea, Iran, India and Pakistan have also been developing new medium-range and intermediate-range ballistic missiles, of which many will be armed with nonconventional warheads. What the US should do instead of pressuring China is devise a new policy toward the DPRK, says Brian Becker from the ANSWER Coalition. The article concluded with the claim that "China has repeatedly expressed opposition to North Korea's missile launch against UN Security Council resolutions, as well as unilateral sanctions bypassing the UN Security Council, calling relevant parties to avoid escalating the tension and come back to the right track of peaceful negotiations".
North Korea is a minor player compared with suppliers like Australia and Brazil.
The South China Morning Post was more candid, quoting Hong Kong's Chief Executive as hoping "the visit would instill a sense of patriotism among an increasingly divided society".
Huang Songping, a spokesperson for the GAC, was quoted as saying at a press briefing in Beijing that the increased exports, which took place between January to June this year, were primarily of textiles and other labor-intensive products. Efforts to blunt the swords of barbarism are all the more necessary when dealing with the Trump administration, which has made no bones about its own barbarism in the name of "America first". No matter how terrific our strategy and goals may be, we won't succeed without a network to see them through. After three months of classes, she began to get the hang of it, due in part to her habit of studying extra each day.
"North Korea is the wild card in the trade debate", Freeman said.
Donald Trump Jr.in a statement had said he had met the Russian lawyer at the request of an acquaintance.
But in recent weeks, Trump has fired off tweets denouncing China's trade with North Korea and cast doubt on whether Beijing was doing enough to counter Pyongyang. By that point, the situation is difficult to recover from.
Sanctions are the only action so far that are specifically intended to pressure China on North Korea; arms sales and fleet movements have happened before and would have again sooner or later.
This week, North Korean state television claimed that they would "turn the US into a pile of ash" if Trump used military force to contain their nuclear program, the latest in a series of similar threats against Washington and Seoul. The US media emphasized the renegotiation of the Korea-US Free Trade Agreement (KORUS FTA) and the renegotiation of burden sharing for the support of United States Forces in Korea.
The UN and the U.S. have attempted to use sanctions for the past decade in an attempt to stem North Korea's nuclear weapons development, but the latest July 4 test, which demonstrated a significant advance in its capabilities, have forced international bodies to reconsider their response going forward. "Now, I speak nicely about China because I really do believe they're trying to help out with respect to North Korea".
Earlier in the piece, "divergences on Pyongyang's nuclear issue" between the two powers had been acknowledged. "North Korea is not self-sufficient", said Robert Kelly, associate professor of international relations at Pusan National University in the South Korean city of Busan.

After spending the bulk of my 3-day weekend weighing out options about what direction I should really be heading in this fall, I got a phone call this afternoon saying I have an interview with a principal at Greenwood Elementary tomorrow. I was notified of the school's vacancy about a week ago but I purposefully didn't send in my resume or cover letter as I wanted to "sort things out" before I took any further actions. As it turns out, TNTP submitted it for me. ..and alas, I have an interview.
If I get the job, I'll plan on staying..if not, I'm still sitting in front of the drawing board. We shall see. \
On another note, I head home to the Ozarks on Saturday. I don't really have the money to go, but I think it's necessary for my own sanity. So needless to say, I'm making it happen. I have to be honest in saying I am really excited. There are so many things I've missed about 'home' and I'm excited to actually have some time to reconnect. Unless something drastic happens, I plan on staying until sometime around the 25th and 27th.
It's time for me to go, I'm feeling the bed call my name.
More tomorrow...

As a Labour Party member you would expect me to be supporting Jeremy Corbyn for PM. However, last Sunday my nephew and I got a train from London to Wolverhampton following a Bob Dylan concert at the London Palladium, and who should join us on the train but the Great Leader himself, casual and relaxed in second class, talking to some young children about their lives? At Wolverhampton station I button-holed him before he went off in a black Range Rover to a meeting in Telford. He had no security detail, no entourage and no state pomp. If I'd tried to do this to Tony Blair or Ed Miliband. I'd have been dragged off the platform by a gang of Blackberry-toting Millbank SAS operatives. I was deeply moved by Corbyn's human warmth. I'll now be throwing myself into the campaign to defeat the robotic establishment idol that is Theresa May.

hello folks
i am alive.
i wrote out a blog post at the beginning-ish of the month... it was all about where we've been... what we've done... but it felt soulless.
so i couldn't publish it.
and then, while sitting at the beach (alone! whoohooo!!) on a sunny tuesday morning, i wrote out another post. more soulful.
i just haven't sat down to go from handwritten to typed up. and then add pictures.
and really, i shouldn't even be doing this. i have a messy house. we still need to do math. and i must, and i mean MUST get to the store. food makes this house happy.
but i have this aching in my heart to write on my blog. i miss it. and it feels so good to spill my thoughts into my own little space. but rest assured that in the last month we have lived it up in SoCal. and i am, i really am, finding a groove with this teaching stuff.
and i am trying to live struggle free. and complaint free. and seek out patience and joy. and soak up the gorgeous scenery that surrounds me.
and today, fight some sort of pathetic head cold. in my mind... i thought i wouldn't have a lick of allergies in this part of the world. what was i thinking? something is ALWAYS blooming here.
xoxo and achoo.
and i will do a photo dump soon. i mean, we have had first days of school, and photo ops galore.

Doug Tuttle Joins Matt Lajoie For Guitar Album
First off, Doug Tuttle has already released the most excellent album, Peace Potato, earlier this year. Now he's joined up with his friend Matt Lajoie (Herbcraft) to create an improvisational electric guitar record, American Primate. The concept of the album was born while the two toured together, reuniting at Doug's home studio in Massachusetts. There was no concept, only the goal of creating something entirely improvisational…with a little studio magic added to the back end. The result is quite something, as you listen to two guitars battling back and forth, shifting pitches to balance one another at the same time. American Primate will be available through Burger Records on October 6th.

Does Using Epsom Salt Help to Relieve Rosacea?
Rosacea is a widespread skin disorder that causes the affected individual to constantly appear red in the face. Though the condition is not a serious one, it can be traumatic for the afflicted because it involves the skin of the face and neck. Unfortunately, the root cause of rosacea is unknown and subsequently there is no actual cure. Treatments primarily focus on avoiding outbreaks and controlling symptoms. Epsom salts are an old-fashioned remedy that have been used for centuries to treat a variety of skin disorders, including some of the more common symptoms of rosacea, such as inflammation and redness.
