Yellow Wildflowers of May, part 1.
Winter Cress
Back in April, this interesting plant started blooming in fields and along roadsides, joining in with the thriving dandelions. Its leaves and stem are dark green, while its small 4-petaled flowers are a bright yellow, growing in clusters. Now, in May, it seems that its numbers have peaked.
This is Winter Cress, also known as Yellowrocket, a member of the Mustard family (flowers get called all kinds of names over the years, it can be hard to figure them all out at times). It will continue blooming into early summer. The Mustard family has many varieties of plants, including familiar edible ones like turnip, cabbage, and cauliflower.
Winter Cress was originally brought here from the Old World. One of its older names is Scurvy Cress, recalling its use as a source of vitamin C to prevent deficiency disease. In Europe, it was used as an ingredient in a herbal remedy for wounds. It has been used in salads, though it can absorb toxins from the local environment so it's not recommended to try this.
This plant is seen by some as a pesky weed, but even so, it certainly is a handsome one.

April 7, 2012
I wish I'd had this article when I first began recording information in a cemetery. I would have saved me a lot of repeat visit from my forgetting which tombstone was at which cemetery.
There are lots of online sites that offer online photos of tombstones. Just Google "online tombstone photos" and you'll see what I mean.
I began recording information in cemeteries when I was 15. My friends at the time thought that creepy. I did have a few who would tag along as back up. I'm not sure as a backup for what. It was just more comfortable having someone along for the journey.
There are only a few items needed to record a cemetery.
*Digital camera
*White chalk
*Small chalkboard
*Several spray bottles full of water
*Kneepads if you have bad knees
*One brick
*Toolbox to keep supplies in
SavingGraves.com also offers a lot of advice on photographing a cemetery.
The digital camera is great for photographing the stones as you'll know you got a good shot before leaving the cemetery.
I used to use white chalk to make the lettering on a gravestone stand out. It's still a debate on whether chalk will harm the stone in the long run. Spraying water on a tombstone is now the preferred method as the surface will dry faster than the lettering and this will make the letters stand out.
The mirror is used to direct sunlight onto the tombstone. Many stones are easy to read with the eye but don't photograph well. The mirror will provide sunlight, making the stone easier to read.
The chalk and chalkboard are used to record information about the cemetery and I recommend using them if you plan to visit multiple cemeteries. Use the chalk to write the name and address of the cemetery on the chalkboard and prop it up with the brick to the right of each stone. This way you won't forget which cemetery each stone was from when you upload your digital photos for editing. The chalkboard can always be cropped out for the finished photo.
Be sure not only to photograph tombstones of those you know are related to you but also those surrounding them. Sometimes you can link these into family marriages. Some people photograph every tombstone in a small cemetery just for future reference.
I also like to photograph different views showing the entire cemetery. If there's a church, I photograph it from at least two different angles.
Photograph any smaller stones for unmarked graves. This may indicate babies who were stillborn or died young. It's difficult to determine which family some of these unmarked stones belong to, but at least you have it recorded.
Keep in mind some churches change location and there may be an older cemetery at the original site and the original cemetery may be a mile or two down the road from the newer one.
Be prepared to be approached if you're on private property. Most landowners don't mind visitors if you explain the purpose of the visit. I had the good fortune to visit the very private and hidden cemetery where my great-great-great grandmother, Mary Boggs, is buried off of Ruhama Church Road in Liberty, SC. Very few people know of its location because of its location inside a patch of woods. The landowners not only allowed me to wander the cemetery, they even took me to an even more remote cemetery down the road. I didn't find any ancestors at the second site, which is good. Because in all of my years of searching, I've never been able to find it again!
I didn't find any ancestors at the second site, which is good. Because in all of my years of searching, I've never been able to find it again!
If you're sure an ancestor is buried in a particular cemetery and a stone can't be located, don't dismiss the person being buried in an unmarked grave. Ask the caretaker or church secretary if a record is available that marks the names of who's buried there.
My dad's parents are buried in an unmarked grave at the church they attended. If daddy hadn't told me of it back in the 1970's (he died in 1976), no one would know the location if there is no church record. Which sometimes there isn't.
I love old tombstones where a person's life story was carved in stone. Newer graves don't offer the in-depth look at the pass the old ones did. Should you be fortunate enough to find such a stone, be sure to enter the inscription word for word into your genealogy software program. This type of information needs to be passed along to future generations.
Once you've recorded a cemetery, be sure to remove anything you've used such as empty drink bottles or snacks. Yes, you may find yourself eating or drinking while doing a large cemetery.
In closing, I'd love to tell you about my very first family cemetery experience. After trying for months to pry the location out of my mother, who feigned ignorance due to the remote location, my grandfather surprised me by taking me there.
As it turned out, he'd wanted to visit his family in their final resting place and no one would volunteer to take him. I still recall the day back in 1976 when we pulled up before a locked chain guarding the entrance to the cemetery. I was so disappointed as I turned to grandpa and said: "it's locked so we can't get in." My eighty-something year old grandpa got out of my car, went over to the locked gate and pulled out the key to unlock the gate. We spent about an hour there just walking around as he explained the relationship between all of its occupants.
I still go there when I'm in the area. Grandpa's gone and I'm one of the keepers of the cemetery. People leave small mementos on the graves and no one steals them. Every now and then a bad storm comes through and knocks them over. I'll go around to each grave to be sure all of the small figurines are once again standing upon the graves.
This cemetery gives me a remarkable sense of peace. That's how a cemetery should feel. Anyone who hasn't recorded a cemetery should give it a try. It's a unique experience, especially if you put your photos online to help others in the search for their ancestors. You never know when you'll meet a distant cousin looking for the tombstone you just up

Saturday, June 25, 2005
This weekend turned out to be a damn expensive weekend. It pretty much fucked up my bank balance.
It all started with me deciding to buy a DVD Recorder. So many good programs airs late night and I was missing most of them. Most of the programs are super awesome programs like South Park, Reno 911, Crank Yankers and the likes.
My uncle got a Panasonic DVD Recorder and inspired me to get one too. But I wanted to buy a DVD Recorder with a Hard Disk. Without a Hard Disk Drive (HDD), the maximum you can record on a DVD(4.7 GB) is 8 hours (low quality) or 1.5 hours (DVD movie quality).
I was zeroing in on a Panasonic with a HDD, but my friend Michael Morse suggested to get a Toshiba RD-XS34, with 160 GB HDD and TV Guide support.
After doing some research I found out that, that particular model was the near perfect one for my requirements. I say near perfect because, a perfect one would have also carried a VHS player with VHS to DVD dubbing feature.
But , hey it's ok...we don't live in a perfect world ;)
I also decided to re-wire my entertainment system completely.
Till today, I was using RCA composite video cables, and stereo jack cables.
For video, I would have preferred to take the component video route, but as my TV doesn't support component video, I had to settle for S-Video.
I went to circuit city and bought the following:
(1) Monster Video® 2/Interlink® 250 A/V Connection Kit (S-Video)
(2) Monster Video® 2 High Resolution S-Video Cable
(3) Monster Satellite® Fiber Optic Audio/S-Video Hookup Kit
For video, I connected the 3 S-Video cables between, the DISH Satellite Receiver and DVD Recorder, DVD Recorder and my BOSE 3-2-1 DVD Home Entertainment System & between Bose 3-2-1 and my Sharp TV.
For audio, I junked the old RCA A/V stereo cables and used the Monster Interlink 250 A/V cable between my DISH Satellite Receiver and DVD Recorder. I also replaced the RCA A/V Stereo cables connecting my DVD Recorder with BOSE 3-2-1 with Monster Interlink Lightspeed 100 Fiber Optic cable.
This completed the re-wiring of my home entertainment system.
When I turned on the systems, WAW...everything worked perfect and the quality of the video and audio was super awesome.
The whole process took me about 15 minutes.
I recorded some clippings from Sun TV to my HDD and viewed it later. The playback quality was as good as the original. No loss of quality.
When I went to circuit city, I also ended up buying 3 more DVDs for my DVD library.
I got the following DVDs.
(1) Not Another Teen Movie
(2) Once Upon a Time in the West
(3) Titanic
Even though this whole operation was a successful one, it cost me a lot.
When HDTV(High-Definition Television) and BD(Blu-Ray Disk) comes out sometime next year, I may have to get ready to re-wire everything. I better start saving some money.

Wow, thats close to a $1000 investment! Do you have HD channels? Can you record them? I would have prefered buying a PC TV tuner card and just record programs on the PC's hard disk. That way you can schedule recordings over the web with softwares like the one from mythTV , and this setup could have worked out a bit cheaper. But of course, you won't get features like time slip, and the integration of the whole thing into one box.

It has support for HD, but not HD compatible directly.
I considered mythTV.
But tuner card, HDD, integration with multiple inputs(Satelite, cable)DVD writer, the cost was the more or less the same.
And like you said, lots of features, like TV guide, timeslip, live tv pause and so many other featurs may not have been available.
But yes, it would have been more fun building and assembling everything on your own.

One more cool thing...
I was recording something today morning.
After some time forgetting that I am recording something, I turned off the DVD recorder, but it didn't turn off, and instead if displayed an 'ALERT' on its display. At that time as I had turned off my TV I don't know what was displayed on TV.
But the fact that it did not interrupt my recording and turn off the DVD recorder. I thought that was cool.

I wonder why you said HDTV is coming out next year. Comcast already broadcasts many HD channels. But of course you need HDTV to view them. Whether the DVR can capture and store the programs in HD resolution is a different question. I would imagine HD tuner cards are super expensive and will be lacking features because of early stage of development.

"When Will the DTV Transition Be Complete?
Television stations serving all markets in the United States are airing digital television programming, although they still must provide analog programming until the target date set by Congress for the completion of the transition to DTV - December 31, 2006. "
... from FCC website(http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/digitaltv.html)
By end of next year, all channels are supposed to come in HDTV only. That's what I was trying to say in my post. Wrong wording probably.
Also when HDTV comes standard, the best quality will be achieved through HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface), better than component video.
Yes, you are right, it will take couple of years for the technology to become stable and the prices low.
2007 end, or 2008 beginning might be the right time to convert.
Iam also waiting on Dolby Digital 6.1 (some even talk about 7.1).

WHY does Obama SAY these things?
Obama: "My father served in World War II, and when he came home, he got the services that he needed." (Sen. Barack Obama, Remarks At The NALEO Conference, Washington, DC, 6/28/08) Oops!:
Barack Hussein Obama Sr. (Obama's father) Born 4/4/36, Died 11/24/82 at the age of 46 ... He was 5 years old when WW 2 started, and less than 9.5 years old when it ended.
Lolo Soetoro (Obama's step father)...Born 1935, Died 3/2/87 at the age of 52 ...He was 6 years old when WW 2 started, and 10 years old when it ended.
One of these guys must have been the youngest Veteran in the war.
WOW. (thanks MGM) (imagine the media if Bush or Palin said anything CLOSE to this.... untrue?)

thanks, Joe....I had no idea...but he did misspeak and, as Chuck says, imagine if any Republican said that?
I personally can't imagine calling my grandfather my 'father' under any circumstances, even if he raised me, but I'm not saying Obama might not have.
He always stammers and looks scared when off teleprompter; the wizard needs to be behind the curtain for him to look relaxed. I keep wondering who the wizard is. But, not really ...GS
Ducky, two years old and the msm STILL hasn't slammed him for this like they'd have slammed a misspeak by ANY Republican; good point.
The mosque is a monument to islamic insensitivity. Pam Geller did the best she could and every New Yorker my liberal NYC cousin knows is very against this.

"WHY does Obama SAY these things?"
Easy question. Obama says these things because they're on his teleprompter.
Having the utter and complete lack of intelligence that is the distinguishing characteristic of all leftists, Obama would read the ingredients of shampoo aloud if they appeared on his teleprompter, then lament the horrible suffering of his childhood hero Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate.

The Great Typo Hunt: Two Friends Changing the World, One Correction at a Time
by Jeff Deck and Benjamin D. Herson
A grammarian's gonzo road trip across a national landscape pockmarked with poor punctuation, the book is a hilarious and heartfelt call to action
The signs of the times are missing apostrophes.
The world needed a hero, but how would an editor with no off-switch answer the call? For Jeff Deck, the writing was literally on the wall: "NO TRESSPASSING." In that moment, his greater purpose became clear. Dark hordes of typos had descended upon civilization … and only he could wield the marker to defeat them.
Recruiting his friend Benjamin and other valiant companions, he created the Typo Eradication Advancement League (TEAL). Armed with markers, chalk, and correction fluid, they circumnavigated America, righting the glaring errors displayed in grocery stores, museums, malls, restaurants, mini-golf courses, beaches, and even a national park. Jeff and Benjamin championed the cause of clear communication, blogging about their adventures transforming horor into horror, it's into its, and coconunut into coconut.
But at the Grand Canyon, they took one correction too far: fixing the bad grammar in a fake Native American watchtower. The government charged them with defacing federal property and summoned them to court—with a typo-ridden complaint that claimed that they had violated "criminal statues." Now the press turned these paragons of punctuation into "grammar vigilantes," airing errors about their errant errand.
The radiant dream of TEAL would not fade, though. Beneath all those misspelled words and mislaid apostrophes, Jeff and Benjamin unearthed deeper dilemmas about education, race, history, and how we communicate. Ultimately their typo-hunting journey tells a larger story not just of proper punctuation but of the power of language and literacy—and the importance of always taking a second look.

Last night my husband and I went to a fundraiser for Alex's Lemonade Stand, which raises money for pediatric cancer research. The reason we went is because the event was run by a former contestant of The Bachelor, Graham Bunn, and a lot of former cast members were going to be at the event. Now, I'm not proud of the fact that I watch (and love ::cringe::) The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, and Bachelor Pad, but it is what it is. Also, with the advent of Twitter, watching the show isn't about just watching the show, its about the conversation. When any of those three shows are on there is a whole community on Twitter that I interact with. Most of the people I follow are former contestants (and Jennifer Weiner!), so it feels like I'm actually talking to them about their experience and their perspective on the show. For the most part, I'm not really talking to them. I'm sending 140 character ideas into the universe and putting their twitter handles somewhere in there. But, like I've said before, twitter creates a false sense of intimacy and friendship which is definitely a double-edged sword.
So last night, I set out to meet Marissa May, Ashley Spivey, and William Holman. They are all former cast members from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette and they are the most active on Twitter during the seasons. I feel like I have talked to all of them and know them already, but Marissa especially because she and I seem to have a similar sense of humor about the show and tweet pretty much the same things at the same times. Anyway, I knew that they were going to be at the concert last night which is why we went (Guiney and Grimes performed and were AWESOME. Bob Guiney was The Bachelor, but really his music is way more memorable). I spotted Marissa, Ashley, and William as soon as we got there and decided I couldn't be chicken about it, I just had to go say hi. And I did.
I apologized for bothering them and they assured me I was not. I told them how I wanted to introduce myself because I feel like I know them because of twitter. When I told them my handle (LarainBK! Follow me there!) Marissa and Ashley both said that they remembered me. They were very nice and I was happy I was able to talk to them, even if it was just "omg! I know you from twitter!" Same with William, who seemed pleased that someone out there is enjoying his fake spoilers (seriously, guys, he's hilarious). Then I left, not wanting to awkwardly stand over them trying to get in on their conversation. I definitely enjoyed meeting them and hope that we can continue to chat on twitter in a more meaningful way (is there such a thing?).
The thing is, I have to remember when I mean famous people, that they are just people. And honestly, former Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants are more "known and recognized" than they are "famous." With women like Ashley and Marissa, I feel like in another life, under different circumstances, we might be friends. They don't seem that different from me, they just spent a few months filming a reality show. They're around my age, Ashley even lives in my city, so I wonder why I think of myself as so different from them? Usually when I'm around famous, or "known," people I get really excited, and bug-eyed, and probably a little bit creepy. Who knows how I came off last night? I hope I wasn't too weird. The bottom line is, if I feel a connection to someone from afar, I have to believe that I am equal enough to them to make that connection a reality.
That said, I had a great time being around all the cast members last night. I had a blast seeing them just enjoying themselves and each other's company and chatting with them at the bar and things like that. I definitely consider the evening an overall success, but it gave me some stuff to think about for next time I am in a room full of people who found fame on reality tv.

Here, in the reality-based community, the reason there are no statues of Nazi War Heroes in Germany is because they lost, just like the treasonous Confederacy.
These statues are not historical relics of the Civil War, but 20th century symbols of propaganda and Jim Crow white supremacy. If they belong anywhere, they belong in museums.
Poor Trump snowflakes.
United States President Donald John Trump tweeted a lament over these "beautiful" Confederate statues and has been highly praised by David Duke and other Nazis.
Yet on June 23, 2015, six days after the shooting in a African American Church by white supremacist Dylan Roof, candidate Donald Trump stated, "I would take it down, yes... I think they should put it in a museum, let it go, respect whatever it is you have to respect, because it was a point in time."
On October 31, 1999, Donald Trump wrote a strong denunciation of Adolf Hitler and Nazism, what has changed?
Trump created a fake monument at his Golf Course! "Many great American soldiers, both of the North and South, died at this spot, the casualties were so great that the water would turn red and thus became known as 'The River of Blood.'"
The leader of the free world spewing know-nothing "Fox and Friends" talking points is despicable, but Trump reflects the zeitgeist of the intellectual rot of America. So does the know-nothing Republican governor of this failed state who whiffed when she had a chance to speak up and condemn former alt-right cult leader and White House nationalist Steve Bannon!
Last May, the POTUS slammed Martinez, and she replied she wouldn't be bullied. A week later she stated she was looking forward to meeting with him, the same day he attacked a U.S. Federal Judge for being a Mexican! Then after the infamous cat grabbing audio tapes of the President boasting about how celebrities can do whatever they want, this billionaire "populist" fascist American demagogue, Gov. Martinez, said Trump was not fit for the presidency, and she would not vote for him.
She did indeed vote for him, because how could she vote for a centrist democrat?
In January she attended the Inauguration but was locked out of any GOP promotion. In February she commended President Trump for his leadership on healthcare! By May, Martinez claimed it would be irresponsible for her to comment on healthcare! In June she claimed to be studying the American Health Care Act? Why was the Grand Old Party unable to work with smoderate like Obama or the Clintons, who were not socialists, as they were all very far to the right of Bernard Sanders? If it isn't racism/sexism, is it just jealousy?
It's remarkable that the only two presidents in modern times, Obama and Clinton, who came in and cleaned up Reagan and Bush's voodoo economics, slashed unemployment, while raising taxes on the wealthy, causing massive deficits to plummet and the stock markets to soar, even while expanding health coverage for children and adults, are so despised by so many Americans as sell-outs and failures. When the irrational exuberance of the stock market finally corrects itself and crashes as it always does under Republican presidents (Bush, Reagan, Hoover) on the fact that Grand Old Republican Party is incapable of basic governance, and that we have a syphilitic mentally ill, White House nationalist praising Nazis and the Klan!

Do you have dog clubs where you live? They don't have to be kennel club-sanctioned. They could be any kind of group that gets together to do things with their dogs, whether it's practicing obedience or agility, taking walks in the park together, doing a little field work or tracking. You name it, there's probably a club that enjoys doing it.
Some of my friends are getting together in a couple of weeks to have a Fun Day with our dogs. There will be an agility/obedience seminar, a grooming demo, FOOD, and other things to do with our dogs. We're meeting at someone's house who has some land so the dogs will be able to run off-leash. It should be a fun day for everyone.
Whether you have crossbred dogs or pedigree dogs, it really doesn't matter. If you have some friends with dogs then getting together to share your interests and letting your dogs mingle a bit can be a great way to spend a day. Of course, the Kennel Club does offer plenty of activities that you can do if you are interested in competing with your dog. There are lots of team sports as well as individual activities.
If you haven't gotten involved in an activity before, you might consider doing so. Dog people are usually very friendly to newcomers, especially if you introduce yourself and tell them that you'd like to get involved, or you'd like to find out more.
If you don't know about dog clubs in your area, ask around at your vet's office or when you see people walking their dogs. If you visit a dog show, talk to people there to find out what other kinds of activities they're involved in with their dogs. Chances are that they do other things besides show their dogs. Ask people who rescue dogs if they are involved in any fun activities with their dogs.
Lots of people think that dog activities are only for pedigree dogs, or that the only events that go on are conformation dog shows. Not at all! There are dog events for everyone. Britain is full of dog lovers of all kinds, and there are plenty of fun activities for everyone. I love pedigree dogs but I love other dogs, too. I think there's plenty of room for everyone to have the kind of dog that suits them. They're all dogs when you really get down to it. Live and let live, I say. And do things with your dog that make you both happy.

Chapter III -- 49
We shall now see how St Gregory handles the problem of the source of the soul. For the soul must come from somewhere.
What he says in the next passage is that living bodies beget the living; dead bodies do not beget anything. For that reason, St Gregory says, it is reasonable to consider that that which is sent forth from the living body to be the occasion of life is itself alive. But that which is sent forth, although alive, does not contain flesh and bones and hair and as many things as are seen in man, but these things are present potentially even if they do not yet appear. In the same way we must consider that that which is sent forth contains the soul, although, just as with the parts of the body, we do not see the operations of the soul until bodily development should have progressed appropriately. Instead, St Gregory says, the soul initially manifests those operations which are appropriate to the initial stage of development, namely:
…in making for itself by means of the implanted matter the suitable dwelling place. For we do not consider that it is possible to harmonize the soul to alien buildings, just as it is not possible that the seal in the wax should be fitted to an alien engraving.[1]
For, St Gregory says, just as the body proceeds from something very small towards the perfect, thus also the operation of the soul, appropriately implanted in the substrate, together advances and together increases. First there is only the power of growth and nutrition (the vegetative power of the soul), then when the man is born there is manifested the power of sense-perception (the animal power of the soul), then comes the rational power, not appearing all at once, but manifesting itself together with the increase of the body by means of study and bearing fruit as much as the power can find place in the substrate.[2]
This account of the transmission of the soul with the living sperm must be considered in the light of St Gregory's doctrine that the soul comes into existence at the same time as the body. It is hard to see just what St Gregory means when he enunciates the doctrine that the soul is transmitted with the sperm. For his obvious meaning is that the living sperm contains the whole soul, and that that soul then proceeds to direct the development of the sperm into a full human being in the womb, manifesting itself as the embryo develops in the womb and after. But this implies that the sperm even before conception contains the soul, something which contradicts St Gregory's notion that the soul comes into existence with the body at conception.
This account of the transmission of the soul with the human sperm also presupposes that the human sperm is by itself sufficient for the development of the human being. Here, St Gregory is wrong on a detail of biology. For we now know that in the ordinary course of affairs a human is conceived by the fertilization of a human egg in the woman by the human sperm of the man. Moreover, St Gregory's view that the soul cannot live in alien buildings raises the question of human cloning. Given these two matters, we will now discuss St Gregory's account from the point of view of modern biology.
As we have already remarked, St Gregory has a very good grasp of developmental biology. We suspect that it is from a reading of Aristotle, the great biologist, that he obtained such a good grasp of development. However, modern biology is both anti-Aristotelian—because of Aristotle's vitalism and his doctrine of final causes or goals towards which biological processes tend—and strictly materialistic and mechanistic. So, while the modern biologist might concede that St Gregory has a good grasp of development, he would reject the notion that a soul has anything to do with either the development of a man or the resulting adult. A sperm and egg unite; a man is engendered. The biologist can implant a nucleus from a somatic cell into an unfertilized egg and produce a man. So it appears. We say 'so it appears' for the simple reason that no one has ever admitted to bringing a human clone to term, at least not with such scientific credentials that he has ever been believed. That humans have been cloned is true. The law, at time of writing, permits human cloning in the United Kingdom, and the practice is apparently not forbidden in the United States. It may be permitted or tolerated in other countries where the scientific practice of biology is sufficiently advanced for human cloning to be a practical possibility; we do not have details. However, as far as we know, the present official practice is to use cloned humans for the production of tissue cultures and not to implant them in surrogate mothers so that they might be brought to term. Insofar as the embryo is not destroyed by the actual procedure of producing the tissue cultures, then the embryo as far as we know is later destroyed. The English law specifies that the human cloned embryo be destroyed no later than approximately the fourteenth day after 'conception'.
Perhaps all of this turns what St Gregory is saying into well-written nonsense?
No. However, it is necessary to deal with the issues one by one. First the issue of materialism in biology. We have already addressed this issue in Chapter I, and we will not repeat ourselves here. There is a fundamental gulf between the ideology, the world-view, the paradigm of modern biology, which as we have said is materialistic and mechanistic, and the worldview of Christian theology. It is not merely a matter of the Christian writers being writers who lived in the Fourth Century. There is a fundamental problem with the orientation of the biologist today.
The greatest difficulty today with St Gregory's position is the notion that the soul has a role in the development of the body. That is what St Gregory was saying when he said that the first operation of the soul was to build for itself a suitable dwelling place since it cannot live in an alien dwelling, just as the seal in the wax cannot be fit to a foreign engraving. According to the biologist today, it is clear that all the information necessary for the development of the human from the fertilized egg is contained in the information content of the DNA at conception. While it is true, the biologist says, that the human develops by an unfolding, that unfolding is under the direct control of the information found in the DNA at conception. Hence there is no longer room for the soul in the development of 'the suitable dwelling place', nor even any necessity to posit the existence of a soul: the human can be analysed with regard to his development perfectly well without the introduction of a concept of soul, on the basis of the molecular genetics of development.
While there is overwhelming evidence for the definitive role of the DNA in development, we would like to remark that it is still early.[3] The cloned animals that were said to prove the feasibility of human cloning suffer illnesses that their prototypes do not. They have compromised immune function and higher rates of infection, tumour growth, and other disorders. They have a tendency to be born larger and to put on more weight than is proper given their prototype. They have a tendency to die young, sometimes for unknown reasons. Perhaps, given the very low success rate in the actual cloning procedure, given the rather high rate of miscarriage in the cloned animals that are implanted in surrogate mothers so as to be brought to term, given the rather high rate of illnesses that have to do with malfunctioning of DNA-based control systems, it is too early to be confident that we know everything there is to know about development. Science is replete with cases of overconfidence based on a 'breakthrough' until such a time as all the consequences of the 'breakthrough' have been thoroughly studied. That having been said, as a caution as to whether we know everything there is to know about development, let us return to the question.
We do not think the St Gregory is wrong. We think that what he is saying is valid even given the manifest role of DNA and its information content in development. For, as we have said, the soul is not material; it is not a hidden chemical that enters into the chemical reactions. It is an intelligible substance that obeys its own laws.
We do not say that the chemical reactions are directed by the soul so that, say Protein A is produced at this instant instead of Protein B. Most of the time, the protein that is produced is the protein that is specified by the DNA. However, for the fertilized egg to progress on the road of development, the soul must be present, just as God must be present.
Let us now turn to the question of the transmission of the soul. This is a very important question. St Gregory espouses a doctrine of the transmission of the soul through the human sperm. We will find in Chapter IV, below, that in the High Middle Ages, St Thomas Aquinas enunciated a doctrine that the soul was created by God sometime after conception, although the Roman Catholic Church as a whole evidently settled on a doctrine that the soul was created by God at the moment of conception.
Now the first problem is that St Gregory was evidently unaware of the necessity of the maternal egg for conception to take place. We do not think that he emphasized the human sperm as the source of the soul for any reason other than that he had been taught that that was how humans came to be: the human sperm was sufficient unto itself for the development of the human; the mother who conceived the child was merely a source of nutriment and protection for the human sperm. We find the same doctrine in St Thomas Aquinas in the Thirteenth Century.
The second problem is that the current procedure for cloning of humans uses an unfertilized human egg, although one taken from a living woman. In the cloning procedure as we understand it today, that unfertilized human egg is denucleated[4] and the nucleus from a somatic cell of the prototype of the clone-to-be is implanted in the egg in place of the removed nucleus.[5] The egg is then electrically or chemically stimulated to provoke the reaction that corresponds to fertilization in the natural case, and the development of the human begins to take place—if it does: the success rate is very low.
Our own view is that if the Nyssian doctrine of the transmission of souls is to be retained, then a modification must be made to it: it must be the female egg, not the male sperm that is the bearer of the soul. This is not to espouse an ideology but to be able to account for the procedure of human cloning. The doctrine of the transmission of the soul has advantages: It accounts for cloning if the modification suggested is made to it. It also accounts, in the natural case, for the development of identical twins. For natural identical twins develop from a single fertilized egg. For a certain number of cell divisions, all the cells of the embryo retain the biological potential to develop into a complete individual. In the case of human identical twins, during this period of total potential, the embryo for reasons as yet unknown to science splits into two, and two genetically identical individuals develop. We have discussed the matter of identical twins and their genetic identity in Chapter I; we need not repeat ourselves here. However, from the point of view of accounting for the souls in the identical twins—for each identical twin has a soul; they are not two bodies with one soul—the transmission doctrine of the soul makes it easy to account for how from one embryo with one soul, suddenly we have two genetically identical embryos each with its own soul. Moreover, identical twins can be produced by human intervention from eggs fertilized—or, we imagine, cloned—in the laboratory. That is, once a human egg is fertilized in vitro it can then be mechanically separated into two identical twins in the laboratory by the scientist who has done the in vitro fertilization. Much the same practice of mechanically separating cells at a very early stage of development is used for the creation of embryonic cell cultures, the ones that are used for the production of tissue cultures. The transmission doctrine, especially when the transmission of the soul is tied to the human egg, enables us to account for the soul in each of the mechanically produced identical twins.
Of course, it will be objected that there is a regular natural wastage of human eggs. Perhaps, it might be asked, are all these eggs souls which are lost? We think not. The egg provides the potential of life; it does not provide life itself. The soul is transmitted with the egg. The soul, as St Gregory of Nyssa has said, comes into existence at conception at the same time as the body.
However, this answer may not be satisfactory, and the only possible solution would be to discard the theory of transmission of the soul in favour of the creation by God of the soul at the moment of conception, even when, in the case of cloning, the 'conception' occurs without the benefit of human sperm, by means of the implantation of the nucleus of a somatic cell of the to-be-cloned donor into an unfertilized human egg. Then in all cases of cloning and identical twins whether naturally or artificially produced, we would simply say that God created a human soul at the instant that the conception, or its analogue, or the separation of the embryo into two, took place.
The next question we must address is the question of when conception takes place. The usual notion of conception is that conception takes place when a sperm fertilizes an egg.[6] However, as we learn from Professor John Breck, this view is challenged by certain Roman Catholic theologians who argue that human conception occurs on about day 12 after (natural) fertilization, when the embryo implants itself in the wall of the uterus.[7] Until then, these theologians argue, the embryo—or pre-embryo as they prefer—is merely a mass of undifferentiated cells. This seems, evidently, to be much the same logic as is behind the English law permitting cloning of humans for the production of tissue cultures with the presupposition that all embryos will be destroyed before approximately day 14.
This argument appears to be a subterfuge so that a loophole might be found in the 'Law' for the practice of abortion, in vitro fertilization and other scientific experiments and practices which are otherwise forbidden by the Roman Catholic Church, since the Roman Catholic Church takes the strict view that every human embryo has a soul from conception. The logic is to change the date of conception so as to open a window for the forbidden practices. We do not think that the theologians' arguments are scientifically valid, even when they are arguing scientifically. These theologians' arguments betray a misunderstanding of the nature of the genetic program of development. However a detailed refutation would be very technical, and we will avoid that here.[8]
Without dwelling on our reasoning because of its technical biological nature, we think that, given what we know today about fertilization, the most natural moment to consider that conception has taken place is immediately after the entry of the sperm into the human egg, when the fertilization reaction takes place that blocks the entry of a second sperm into the egg. There then immediately commences a series of chemical reactions that are clearly 'designed' to initiate the process of development. While it is quite true that it is not until after the first cell division that the sperm and egg genomes[9] are a united whole,[10] and that it is not until after the first cell division at the earliest that the human genome begins transcription,[11] we must return to the insight into developmental biology of a St Gregory of Nyssa: while we may not see evidence either of the operations of a soul or, somatically, of flesh, bones and hair in the zygote or embryo, the soul is there; and the soul's operations and all aspects of the somatic existence of a human being are present in the embryo in potentiality; and the development of a human being which has a soul in the image of God has commenced with the regular unfolding of the stages of development according to a natural sequence, each stage building on the preceding one.
Let us turn to another position that we have seen, this time in an academic textbook of human genetics. There, the authors, speaking of the matter of abortion, remark that although the embryo is potentially a person, it is not yet a person; hence, they imply, it cannot yet be considered a person who is wronged by being aborted. This, curiously enough, was much the reasoning of the Canadian Supreme Court decision permitting abortion: the rights guaranteed to persons under the Canadian Constitution do not apply to the embryo or fœtus since it is not a person.
In view of the fact that St Gregory of Nyssa himself speaks of the operations of the soul and of the aspects of the body as being present in the embryo in potentiality—although he himself asserts, clearly, that both the soul and the body of the human come into existence at the instant of conception—it is well to consider this question: if an embryo or fœtus has the attributes or operations of a person in potentiality, is it a person or is it merely tissue that might, if things go well, later become a person?
The answer is simple: if one accepts that a person has a soul, then that person became a person when he acquired that soul. If, however, the existence of the soul is denied, as it is in the materialistic and mechanistic paradigm of modern biology, then one can easily assert that the personhood of the embryo or fœtus commences with the expression of certain operations of the nervous system in the womb, or with being born, or with being born in an acceptable condition. For what is the personhood of a human person? If he is merely a concourse of biochemical reactions, then his personhood is relative to the quality of his reactions. If, however, he has the dignity of an image of God, and that dignity is bestowed on him at the moment of his conception, then our reverence for the Prototype extends to the image of the Prototype from the moment that that image comes into existence. This is true even if the image is not immediately expressed in its fullness because of the very specific nature of human embryonic development in the womb: each stage builds on the preceding stage, just as among the plants and animals.

Batter My Heart, Three-Personed God, for You
Batter my heart, three-personed God, for you
As yet but knock, breathe, shine, and seek to mend;
That I may rise, and stand, o'erthrow me, and bend
Your force to break, blow, burn, and make me new.
I, like an usurped town, to another due,
Labour to admit you, but Oh, to no end.
Reason, your viceroy in me, me should defend,
But is captived, and proves weak or untrue.
Yet dearly I love you, and would be loved fain,
But am betrothed unto your enemy:
Divorce me, untie or break that knot again,
Take me to you, imprison me, for I,
Except you enthrall me, never shall be free,
Nor ever chaste, except you ravish me
by John Donne (1572 – 1631)
I posted a poem a few days ago that I found especially good. This is another. I am currently finishing up my undergraduate degree and we are studying poetry in this iteration of my English class. Hence, posting of these "older" poems. This one is written in older English, so it is a bit more challenging to understand, but not any less appealing.

Embrace this notion fully: You are a creator. Only you are the master of your destiny. You are in charge!
Whether you think it so or not, everything you experience is because of you. Everything you have or don't have, all that you are or aren't is up to you. Accept it. Take responsibility for it.
You may disagree but what does that get you to do so? Perhaps, it gives you some comfort and consolation. You can debate it but to what end? Try the concept on instead, take responsibility for it all, your past, your present and your future.
I happen to think that this is the case but even if it isn't accurate – when you embrace the notion it gives you power to transform yourself. It is a useful concept to adapt. Forget about 'gospel' truth, and consider it instead as a rule for helping you to get ahead. Use what works and discard that which does not.
When you take 100% responsibility for everything it puts you in squarely in charge.
Then it is only you who answers for the results you get or don't.
There is no one to blame when things don't work out. If things are to be brought about it will be because of you and not anyone else. This is a place of immense power and opportunity!
When you put yourself in charge you can work with the power within you. When you think 'If it is to be it is up to me'. When you take responsibility and operate from 'I caused this and I caused that' or 'it is all because of me' then you can change your thoughts, feelings, actions, reactions, responses, your plans, you can alter anything that isn't working because the locus of control is on and in you and on no one and nothing else! This is a powerful mindset to operate from.
Some thoughts you may want to make your own if they aren't already: 'I am a powerful positive creator of my own destiny.' 'Happiness is available to all so it is available to me', 'If it is to be it is up to me'. 'We become what we think about'.
All you have to do to change your life is think different thoughts! REALLY! Change your thoughts and change your life!
The reason why some people don't move forward is that they do nothing, the think defeatist thoughts, or can't believe it, they think it is too good to be true, or they think it must be hard not easy or they think it won't work. If this is you change it and move forward in a new direction.
Whatever you focus on expands!
See yourself as a vibrant, powerful, positive, transmitter of energy. Imagine yourself as a powerful creator, responsible for bring you all things. THEN choose the very best for yourself. Nurture you thoughts and feelings and abilities. Hold in your mind positive thoughts and keep planting positive seeds.
Keep it simple, easy and do it every day! Each moment is a moment to enjoy and celebrate or let it slip away. Because what you focus on expands the more you enjoy the more you get to enjoy! Remember this and choose to delight and enjoy yourself throughout each day. Stay with it, make it a positive habit and enjoy!" Rex Sikes
Savor the seconds and delight in the day!

Hey bees I have a cousin who I haven't spoke too in years prob since 2008 we used to be close but ended up not getting along and she was pretty rude to me so eventually communication ceased. Well I'm getting married in 6 weeks and my brother just called to tell me she called him fishing for/ questioning where her invitation was. I told my brother she needed to call me if she wanted an invite and told him to inform her of that.. he was not allowed to invite ppl to my wedding that i'm paying for…. i'm not sure how I will handle this…the fact she contacted my brother and not me lets me know she is well aware her not getting an invite was not an oversite, what i can't understand is why would anyone want to go to a wedding of someone in your family you don't speak too? I keep wondering if I should honestly tell her It wasn't an oversite and i don't want her at my wedding because we don't get along…my brother says its been years and feels that a wedding is a family event and I should invite her and let it go…i'm not sure which way i'm going to go on this? WWYD high road or not?

The English-major in me is just screaming "intertextuality! Layers! Meanings! Symbols!" I'll try to contain her for the sake of this review. Margaret Atwood is a hit-or-miss author (at least with the people I completed my English BA with); you either love the novel, or don't like it at all. I'm happy to say that "Hag-Seed" is a definite hit! She retold "The Tempest" by Shakespeare very well, and in such a weird setting that works. Prisoners who can rehabilitate themselves through the arts and drama is very inspirational, and is reflective of all of the "new" characters that Margaret Atwood has introduced to us (I say "new" because all of the main characters match up to an original character in the Shakespeare play).
I found a personal attachment to Felix, just because he's so sassy at the beginning and I love him for it. I even tweeted Margaret Atwood about this, and she actually answered:
How cool is that? As the book goes on though, I sort of regretted tweeting this because I don't talk with inanimate objects…oops!
Margaret Atwood takes "The Tempest" even further than the original play – she writes in a part where the inmates have to present on what will happen in the future of the characters they portray (Caliban was the most interesting section; anyone who has taken a Shakespeare course will agree with me). The ingenuity and creativity was astounding on Margaret Atwood's part; it is something I personally always want to know whenever I finish reading a book. For now, my Shakespeare thoughts have been satisfied.
Here's a summary from Goodreads.Whether you'll love or hate "Hag-Seed," it really is a work of art. A modernized retelling of a classic Shakespeare play is a rewarding way to either end your 2016, or being your 2017.
Have you already read "Hag-Seed?" Did you like it, or think it wasn't good?

What a summer…as in, its been a cold, rainy one in Juneau I've been traveling a lot and had company, so I haven't had to experience it too much, but it has still been kind of crummy. That crummy weather is the perfect weather for Broiled Vegetable Soup (pg. 115), though!
I honestly have no excuse for taking FOREVER to update since the last post. I have been cooking other (and re-run) Ottolenghi, though, and really, really want his new book "Sweet." I've been following Chef on Instagram and OMG his desserts look delicious! Another blog idea…? 😉
Anyway, tonight I had a giant eggplant in my fridge and its cloudy, rainy, and cold. I looked up eggplant recipes in "Plenty" and viola! Broiled Vegetable Soup! It looked super (soup-er? haha!) easy, so I thought it would be a good one while I multi-tasked.
Throw the veggies in the broiler at various times, while the onions and oil are slowly cooking on the stove, put it all together with spices and veggie broth, and blend with an immersion blender. Add beans. Done!
Easy peasy. The hardest (and messiest) part was skinning the peppers and scooping out the eggplant. Some of the pepper skin came off nicely, but some wanted to stick on those peppers! Scooping the eggplant was easier, but very messy.
Overall, it took about 2 hours because of all of the broiling. Once done, we enjoyed it with a little bit of naan bread 🙂 3 Stars. It was yummy–the "burnt" eggplant really shown through–but it was not quite as good as some of the others and I felt like it needed something a bit more…not sure what, though. (My picture below, no picture in the book).

I've been waiting to visit the Columbia River around the Corbett exit until the water went down and a row of pilings was exposed. My friend Eric and I headed out early this morning to see what the sunrise would bring. Turns out that the water was really low and we were wading in muck to get out near the water edge. My original thought was to photograph the setting full moon over the pilings but I misjudged the actual time of moonset… should have been there yesterday. While I took a few shots looking west to the moon the real action was to the east as the sun came up. Of course, the row of pilings was backlit and almost silhouette-like. A little bit of help from Nik painted onto the pilings helped to bring them out a bit against the sunrise glow.
It was a fun morning out with a friend who enjoys his time behind the camera as much as I do. I can't wait to see his favorite images from today.

Fighting gender inequality essential to curbing growing wealth gap, IMF report shows
Oxfam applauds today's report by the International Monetary Fund, which argues that tackling gender inequality is not only an objective in itself, it's a key part of reducing the huge wealth gap between the rich and the poor.
Nicolas Mombrial, head of the Oxfam International office in Washington D.C., said:
"When women are denied equal access to healthcare, education, jobs, or financial services, it's not only unfair, it's a huge blow to a country's economy and society. The IMF report shows that working toward women's economic equality should be a no-brainer for governments, since it leads to higher growth and reduces inequality."
"As evidenced by the recent Credit Suisse report, inequality is growing faster than we thought. To fix this, we must tackle deep-rooted, structural forms of gender inequality."
The report, "Catalyst for Change: Empowering Women and Tackling Income Inequality," proposes several positive solutions, such as gender budgeting, fostering women's participation in the labor force, and improving their access to quality health and education.
Mombrial said: "Beyond that, we urge governments to curb violence against women, encourage their political participation, and help ease the disproportionate responsibilities they shoulder when it comes to unpaid care work as women's economic equality requires parallel progress in all areas of women's lives."

WASHINGTON — I've always thought talk of reparations for slavery was absurd--a notion whose time had passed.
Nobody alive was a slave or owned one. You can't make good on an evil that ended 135 years ago. We've moved far beyond slavery into an era of civil rights, a flourishing black middle class, greatly improved race relations. The very idea of reparations stirs enmity; to attempt it would rip us apart. Besides, it's utterly impractical: Imagine determining who is owed and how much!

Skip to comments.Court ruling gives Pride Parade an extra spark (Houston Texas gay pride parade)
Posted on 06/29/2003 3:16:13 AM PDT by weegee
By ROBERT CROWE Copyright 2003 Houston Chronicle From exotic drag queens strutting their stuff to colorful floats sporting gay and lesbian activists, the Houston Pride Parade on Saturday night attracted a large, festive crowd.
While just as flamboyant as it has been during its previous 24 years, the atmosphere was charged by the U.S. Supreme Court's recent ruling that overturned Texas' sodomy law.
"This is overwhelming and still seems a little unreal after all these years -- more than three decades of struggle -- that we're finally free in Texas and free all over the country," said Lee Harrington.
A self-described old-timer in the gay activist community, Harrington had served as president of the Gay Political Caucus in the early 1980s.
The Houston Pride Parade, one of the largest in the country, has been bumping like a funky disco song along Westheimer in the heart of Montrose for 25 years now.
As many as 150,000 spectators -- ranging from the expected gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people to straight folk with their families and children -- turned out for the parade, which marks the 34th anniversary of a New York City bar riot that sparked the modern gay rights movement.
Saturday was Jason Mayo's first pride parade in Houston. Mayo, 31, had attended such parades in San Francisco for eight years, prior to moving to Houston last August.
"This means more in Houston -- in the heartland so to speak -- because in San Francisco it was more like preaching to the choir," he said.
Ken Harrig, 43, liked the fact that the Westheimer Street Festival crowd, which had gathered in the area throughout the day, helped diversify the parade audience. "It's great; I totally support the festival being here," he said.
"We're getting closer and closer to gay liberation," said Angela Flores, 23, a spectator. "I just want to be able to come out at work and not be worried about it."
Flores and several friends were enjoying cold drinks and the festive atmosphere.
A group of three young men said they had talked about the Supreme Court's decision before the parade. One man admired the fact that two men from Houston were willing to make sacrifices to help change the law.
Still, he said he did not want his name used because "people at work" did not know his sexual orientation.
The Supreme Court's 6-3 decision on Thursday overturning Texas' Homosexual Conduct Law as unconstitutional was made regarding a 1998 case involving two Houston-area men. Tyron Garner and John Lawrence, charged with violating the law, were arrested by police who entered their home.
Garner and Lawrence were expected to participate in the parade.
Activist Jack Valinski, chairman of the 25th annual Pride Parade, said about 100 people organized the parade. Another 1,000 participated by making floats, marching and throwing beads to the crowd. About 125 floats glided along the parade route.
A special float this year honored past grand marshals of the parade.
Although Saturday was a day to party, Valinski said, there still is much to be done in the struggle for rights for gays and lesbians.
"We celebrate tonight, and by Monday we need to get back to the social justice issues," he said.
While the gay community has been empowered and liberated by the Supreme Court decision, Valinski said, some people might be offended if it pushes for more rights.
But that won't stop him and others, he said.
While the event has been center stage in Montrose on Pride Day, this year's parade had to share some of its limelight with the Westheimer Street Festival.
The street festival's promoters moved the event back to Westheimer on Saturday after attendance figures at the Allen Parkway location began to dwindle.
Valinski said there were no incidents he was aware of between the crowds at the two events.
"As far as I know, everything is going fine," he said before the parade.
Without permission from Montrose neighborhood associations, the street festival took place on business parking lots and not in the street.
Ben Desoto/Chronicle Houstonians crowd the sidewalk and roof of Mary's at the 25th annual Houston Pride Parade on Saturday night in the Montrose area. Around 150,000 people attended.
Zipping Up Mary's - A local landmark for gay sex and social activism closes after 32 years
The parade numbers are inflated dramatically as a result.
I drove through the neighborhood to make some photocopies this afternoon and deliver some papers to someone nearby.
The "Get Lubed!" trashboxes were all that I needed to know. The parade route was lined with these trashcans that were sponsored by a sex lube company. Ick.
What really happened at Stonewall:
Although gay clubs were explicitly illegal at the time, Mayor Lindsay had an unofficial policy of not enforcing that law in the West Village. The gay folks in the Stonewall bar therefore had a reasonable expectation of being left alone.
Thr reason the cops showed up at the Stonewall was because the Mafioso who owned the place was blackmailing some of his customers. The cops were responding to a complaint against the owner, who wasn't gay himself, and showed up to arrest him.
The patrons of the Stonewall assumed incorrectly that the cops were there to bust them, and responded violently. The cops responded likewise.
And so was born the "gay rights" movement as we know it, though it existed before.
Do a google on "Harry Hay", and "Mattachine Society".
These seven are the AXIS of EVIL.
Gay Rights Ruling Affects Kan. Case
The Supreme Court announced yesterday the first ripple effect of its landmark decision on gay rights, ordering a Kansas court to reconsider its approval of a 17-year sentence meted out to an 18-year-old man for having consensual sex with a 14-year-old boy.
Without comment or published dissent, the court vacated the Kansas Court of Appeals' ruling last year that Matthew Limon's sentence was constitutional even though the same conduct between two persons of different sexes would have received a far lighter penalty under Kansas law.
In fact, as that excerpt makes clear, there was never even a slightest question of vacating the original conviction, because the Kansas ruling under appeal itself only dealt with the constitutionality of the sentence disparity. To reiterate yet again, the conviction has not been vacated no matter how many ways you figure out to suggest otherwise.
They had a gay pride parade here and my husband's place of employment put out a memo, encouraging people to march in the parade and offering free tshirts to those who did.
Nah, the "evil gays" aren't gonna get anyone. We just don't agree the SCOTUS has the right to force the phaggot agenda on people who detest their behavior - esp. when in direct violation of religious convictions.

(CBS Connecticut & CBS News ) — State Police are asking residents to remain vigilant in the wake of a possible terrorist attack Saturday night in London.
British police responded to three incidents across London following reports of a vehicle slamming into pedestrians on the London Bridge.
Police say there is more than one fatality following the three separate incidents, the BBC reports.
A witness who was on the bridge told the BBC she saw a speeding van veer onto the pavement, striking as many as six people. Police then responded to reports of incidents at two more sites.
State Police said that there are no known or suspected threats to Connecticut in regards to the London incident, but say all urgent matters should be called in via 911.
Governor Dannel P. Malloy expressed his condolences to the victims and their families. Malloy also said he is flying the Union Jack flag at his residence in Hartford in solidarity with the people of the United Kingdom.
Hartford Deputy Police Chief Brian Foley tweeted that the city's Crime Center detectives are closely monitoring the situation.

LAKE COUNTY — A survey of the 165 licensed child-care centers in Lake County shows that children enrolled in them are generally receiving the attention they need, the Lake County Board of Health has announced.
The Lake County Health Department's Institutional Health and Safety Program's nurse consultant makes annual visits to child-care centers in the county even though the centers are licensed by the state, not the county. The consultant checks records of immunizations, tuberculosis tests, lead screenings, general physical exams and the basic health and safety of each center, explained Victor Plotkin, an epidemiologist and supervisor of the program.
