Liquid L Carnitine 16oz. Nutrakey - Green Apple Pucker
New Liquid Form for Max Bioavailability
L-Carnitine Liquid provides all of the extensive benefits of Carnitine in a highly absorbable liquid form.
Fat Burning Powerhouse
L-Carnitine plays an important role in protecting & supporting brain & muscle function. As an antioxidant, L-Carnitine protects neurons from damage caused by superoxide radicals. Improves exercise capacity and fat loss: L-Carnitine facilitates the metabolism of fatty acids for energy generation. A greater reliance on fat for energy can result in a sparing of muscle glycogen, an enhancement of exercise performance and a reduction in stored body fat. L-Carnitine has profound effects on endurance and exercise performance by reducing the respiratory exchange ratio and reducing lactic acid accumulation in muscles extending exercise capacity before fatigue.
Carnitine comes in both L- and D-carnitine forms.
However, only the L- form is biologically active. The D- form is completely inactive and in large quantities and particular conditions, the D- form may inhibit the utilization of L-carnitine. NutraKey L-Carnitine supplements contain no synthetic D-Carnitine or DL-Carnitine. D-Carnitine and DL-Carnitine are less effective than L-Carnitine. D-Carnitine and DL-Carnitine are not recommended because of their adverse physical side effects.
Nutrakey products are HPLC tested for purity and potency.
Take 1 teaspoon (1500mg) with water or your favorite beverage 2-3 times daily on an empty stomach. Take first dose in the morning, or before cardio, second dose before lunch or workouts, & final dose post workout.

I love labyrinths! A meandering path in the woods leading to a center. Strolling in contemplation. But how do you quilt a labyrinth? How indeed?
Dianne presented me with a king size labyrinth top at a breakfast recently. Over oatmeal we discussed ideas for quilting her top. She and her husband live in the woods and enjoy birds and small creatures that scurry. Dianne and I have a kinship involving kale. Yup, kale. It's nutritious and versatile. Give it a go if you haven't already!
Ok, back to quilt designs. We also discussed thread colors. So squirrels, birds, leaves, and a path. Ideas were starting to flow.
Dianne's quilt has stark contrasts in colors to make the labyrinth "pop". Her background needed to stay a background. To accomplish this, I used a thread to match the light peach color. My plan was to have each element of this quilt have meaning. I chose a meandering feather to fill in the background. Meandering to represent how we all wander – or should wander – in the woods.
This quilt had a large outside border and two inner borders totaling 19 inches. When discussing her top, Dianne reminded me of a freehand pinecone border I had done on quilts for mutual friends. It seemed fitting that her outside border would be pinecones to represent living in Maine. I added in a few birds and a squirrel or two as well. The two inner borders were freehand leaves to represent how varied the forests are in Maine. And then we got to the labyrinth….
In sticking with my idea of wandering through a labyrinth, I used wavy quilting lines to represent the path. The areas surrounding the path were quilted with squirrels, birds, fawns, and various other creatures and foliage found in the Maine woods.
Now for that very center where contemplation is deepest in a labyrinth….
My thoughts as I quilted the center were that there are directions we all go. Sometimes we start on a path and change direction. Other times we go boldly forward and do not veer from the direction. I quilted the center star with straight lines in part of the center star and then curls in other parts surrounded by pebbling.
Here's the quilt back:And the back of the star:
I told Dianne there were little surprises quilted in her quilt to represent our friendship. It will be a scavenger hunt for her and her husband to find them. If I've done my job correctly, she'll recognize them for what they are.

I'm listening to a preacher tell his story about how he tithed and sowed seeds for his ministry 38 years ago. He seems to be a very sincere person and has had lots of success drawing to him blessings and miracles in resources, abundance and money. He's speaking of the Boaz anointing. I'm not sure about it because I don't have personal experience with him but, the heart of what I'm getting from the message is, "What you put out, you get back," and I know about that...
What I can say is that once upon a time a Church leader sowed a seed of $100 into my life and taught me about praying for abundance. I tithed on that money and also started praying for monetary blessings, and I started finding checks, cash and attracted more resources almost immediately.
I remember those times – in my late 20s when I was 'soaked' in learning, attending and becoming a teacher through a ministry that was truly my home in Los Angeles... in my 40s now, I've accomplished things I couldn't have dreamed of and also lost a lot, and haven't accomplished things I just knew I would by now.
It's interesting because as we get older, life happens and so do choices. There's a level of confidence and also naïveté' during stages of our lives. There are also times of fear coupled with the ability to be wise and discerning, even when experiencing life's valleys. Somehow, we drift and that can create challenges, and also maturity.
It seems that as I get closer and closer to being bold in my mission – offering inspiration and solutions, setbacks happen and with each, I get new opportunities to trust God more and more. And, truth be told, it's uncomfortable. Can you relate?
What I can say is that whatever we think about, we bring about. I know that to be true. And there are also seasons in life. As we still have days in this year, my prayer continues to be for my proper place, with my proper people, along with the preparation and resources to serve. You see, the more God gives us, the more we can share. Our tests become our testimony – if we dare share them.
Remember that sometimes people don't respond to you because they just don't care. Yet, oftentimes, they just have other priorities. There are people who say, "I don't like people" or "I want to help you build wealth but you must pay me first." There are also people who are going through pain in their hearts, bodies, homes, careers and lives. And then there are people who ask you how you are, and when you tell them (hurt, lonesome, upset, feeling abandoned or broke), they lose your number or "forget to call back." Guess what? If your heart and intentions are in the right place, it was a blessing that they got off your radar before your star shoots higher!
I just felt compelled to write a few words because life is not easy and there are real, compassionate, caring people in this world. I know that to be true. And, if we would start being more open, and yes, even vulnerable, we could help and support each other more. There are too many young people suffering because us older people are having difficult times...do what you can to be healthier – in mind, body and spirit.
Prayer, reading the bible and listening for wisdom, guidance and direction are available 24 hours a day even if your 'old friends' are not. Do not be ashamed if you or your life, world or affairs has become a little shabby, worn or out of shape. Just change your focus and fill your thoughts, feelings and activities with good stuff and watch how your light can begin to reignite. Ask God to help you forgive you. Thank Him for already forgiving you. Then praise Him for providing all that you need to real-eyes that you are whole and complete, as you begin to demonstrate it.
Choose not to focus on the negativity and hate that too many people are being stuck in... Don't worry about deleting people, they will fall off if and when they no longer have a purpose in your life/experience.
There are people in this world waiting on you. You are brilliant. #Be Inspired

SOURCE: Gluten Free Therapeutics
December 04, 2013 10:37 ET
PORTLAND, ME--(Marketwired - Dec 4, 2013) - Gluten Free Therapeutics announced today the launch of Celi-Vites (celivites.com), a line of scientifically formulated supplements designed for those suffering from the debilitating effects of celiac disease and those who have chosen a gluten-free lifestyle. Committed to the highest quality products on the market, company founders worked with highly respected formulators to source the finest ingredients and developed Body Heath and Blood Health supplements with the safest and most efficacious gluten-free ingredients available. The company plans to introduce its third product, a Bone Health supplement, in the first quarter of 2014.
According to company Principal and Founder Leigh Reynolds, the line was set into motion by her daughter's celiac diagnosis.
"When your child is sick, you'll take drastic measures to find the right food, medication or treatment to make them well," said Reynolds. "My background in the pharmaceutical industry merged with my empathy for my daughter and those like her made me a very tenacious creator."
Dr. Taylor Reynolds joined her mother's campaign and brought her own base of knowledge. She received her D.V.M. from Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine, her Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and is a veterinary pathologist/scientist.
For those living with celiac disease, the nutritional challenges are clear. Gluten-free foods don't offer the same fortifications found in "normal" foods. In addition, celiacs often have absorption issues that prevent them from accepting the nutrients in food. This widens the nutrient gap and increases the probability of concurrent nutritional deficiencies.
"Research shows that the long-term and hidden effects of celiac disease remain a serious concern, even for those who stop eating gluten," said Dr. Taylor Reynolds. "We identified the common deficiencies and determined how nutrients are best introduced into and absorbed by the digestive system."
Celi-Vites were created without diluting the premium ingredients with lesser forms, a common practice among supplement formulators. Furthermore, the products, unlike many of their counterparts, contain the correct recommended daily value (RDV) of each selected ingredient. In addition, Celi-Vites are safe and readily bioavailable, and all products are batch tested to be free of gluten to less than 5ppm.
"We believe Celi-Vites will be the go-to product to enhance the quality of life for celiacs and those living a gluten-free lifestyle," said Leigh Reynolds.

A: It's always hard to know whether or not an eye problem is an emergency, but there are a few red flags that people should watch for.
First and foremost, and not surprisingly: if you suddenly can't see out of one eye, you should go to the Emergency room right away. Sudden blindness may mean you have a blocked artery in the blood vessels that lead into your eye (called a central retinal artery occlusion). A blocked artery usually won't cause any pain, but can lead quickly to severe vision loss. If this problem is discovered early, the blood clot can be dissolved, which could save your sight.
Sudden vision loss (whether total or partial) in one eye could also be caused by a detatched retina, or by retinal bleeding from wet AMD (age-related macular degeneration). Both of these conditions can be treated more effectively if seen early, so at the first sign of vision loss, head to Emergency right away.
If your eye becomes very painful in a matter of hours, this is another red flag. You may have acute closed angle glaucoma, which causes high pressure in the eye and can lead quickly to serious vision loss. If you have this form of glaucoma, your eye will be red and feel hard. You need to be seen in the Emergency room immediately to receive medicine to lower the pressure in your eye.
Sudden and extreme sensitivity to light (photophobia) is another danger sign. Severe light sensitivity, often coupled with eye pain, can mean you have iritis, an inflammation of the front of the eye. Although iritis is a serious condition that can lead to other eye diseases, it can be treated with steroids if caught early.
Any kind of trauma to the eyes should be looked at right away. If your eye has been struck by an object of any kind, it needs to be assessed to make sure that you don't have intraocular bleeding or scratches on your cornea.
If you have an eye problem, but you are not experiencing sudden vision loss, eye pain or light sensitivity, and you are fairly certain you haven't gone through any kind of eye trauma, you are safe to make an appointment with your eye doctor to get the problem diagnosed in a few days. For instance, if your eyes become terribly itchy, you may have the allergic form of pink eye. Your doctor can prescribe anti-allergy medicine to get rid of the itch.
There's at least one instance in which you can safely self-treat an eye problem. If your eyes are red but not itchy and you have symptoms of a cold, but you don't have blurred vision, pain, or oozing secretions, you may have a case of viral pink eye. You can safely stay at home until the redness goes away. However, if you don't improve within a few days, you should see your doctor.
Dr. Bruce Jackson, MD, FRCSC, is a professor and chair in the Department of Ophthalmology at the University of Ottawa, and is director general at the University of Ottawa Eye Institute.

Associated Courses
IMPORTANT: You must already have the Oral Transmission (rLung) to participate in this program. For those who have not yet received transmission for Riwo Sangchöd (or for those who wish to receive it again), Lama Tsultrim will be offering LIVE video transmissions periodically for those enrolled in the course. Registered participants will receive access information at least 48 hours before the scheduled transmission date. Riwo Sangchöd is the most widely-practiced sadhana for the Tibetan rite of sang, fragrant smoke offering. Sang is an ancient and powerful practice for purifying sickness, removing obstacles, accruing merit, and paying karmic debts. Through making offerings to the Buddhas & Bodhisattvas, Dharmapālas, Dakinis, and all sentient beings as well as to our 'demons,' obstacle makers, and obstructors, we are able to avert negativity and increase positive circumstances for all beings.
This particular practice was revealed as terma (revealed treasure) by the great treasure revealer Lhatsun Namkha Jigme in the 17th century as the men-ngag, or secret instruction, for his Dzogchen teaching cycle known as the Rigdzin Sogdrup (Attaininment of the Life-force of the Vidhyadharas). It was through the performance of this ritual that he was able to remove all obstacles to the Dharma in Sikkim and revealed it as a secret land of the Buddha's teachings.
Sang is one of the most quintessentially Tibetan practices in Buddhism, having been a part of indigenous Tibetan culture for millennia. While the outer benefits of creating auspiciousness and removing obstacles are most commonly spoken about, the true inner meaning of the ritual unveils profound pith instructions for Dzogchen practice. Lama Tsultrim's intimate understanding of this level of meaning brings these teachings to life as she guides participants through the text, revealing the manifold interpretations of each line in this beautiful sadhana.
If you already have the rLung for Riwo Sangchöd, you can take advantage of unlimited access to Lama Tsultrim's pre-recorded video teachings on the sadhana by registering now. Her rich instructions will provide each participant with a true understanding of the meaning of the practice, while our new online learning platform offers ample support for performing your own Sang offering, with additional instructional videos and mp3 downloads from Anna Raithel, Tara Mandala's head chöpon (ritual attendant). You will receive a downloadable PDF text and commentary, complete with photos for fire and shrine set-up, and instructions for doing a simple practice with stick incense or incense powder.
The program fee of $95 goes towards operational costs at Tara Mandala Retreat Center, as well as our continued online program expansion. Financial aid and sustaining sangha discounts are available. For more information, please email email@example.com

Recycle the 80s
When I unpicked this jacket, the glue on the seams was still good but I could rip it apart without tearing the skin. Twill tape was used on the sleeve joins to the jacket, in the hem and in the side seams. The buttonholes were reinforced and the self cover buttons had a small button on the wrong side to hold them in place. It's a big big jacket so it would suit a 'simple' straight skirt.
After using leather reconditioner (leather balsam), the colour became a deeper grey than green. I spoke to a leather expert and her view was that because the leather has already been treated, she said it would be hard to recolour. Then the question was, should I still use this? Yep. This is now a 'no fear' leather practice piece. It's still smells whiffy.
Since making the eyelet Derby Day Peony, I felt this skirt could do with an exposed separating zipper. I've used the original hem for this skirt so the real challenges are:
- make this skirt fit around the waist
- get the hem length right
- line the skirt properly with thick lining fabric.
- use a separating zipper that enhances the look of this skirt
- finally sew with real leather using real leather seam tape and glue!
I bought the leather double sided tape and leather glue from Birdsalls Leather at Botany. I got some useful leather sewing advice when I phoned and then visited the store.
And they have lots of leather saddlery things to look at in awe. Well I did anyway. They stocked buckles and pre-pressed leather for the belts you see worn at the Easter Show or on spaghetti western movies.
Prep work
I used a leather needle in my machine and replaced the sewing foot on machine with a teflon foot. I also eased the feeder pressure and used the longest stitching thread to sew the seams.
I used the darkest pieces of leather because some pieces had started to yellow. The hem was noticeably yellow so while I did want to reuse the hem, it was too obviously yellow, so I cut this off.
I love this red lining but for your purposes, this is a closer view of the insides of the skirt after sewing on the exposed zipper.
On the front, I've added extra seaming to give the waistline shaping without using darts. The hem also has a binding piece to make it long enough for my zipper. The zipper was a stash piece as was the lining.
Hooray. The back zip is now straight because I resewed the back seams and evened them out!!! The jacket McCalls 6292 was made earlier this year to test out the jacket style for a future pleather jacket with the matching gloves. Next step is to make this jacket from real leather - one day.
By the way, I did iron the leather with a cloth on the leather but learnt real quick to move my hand away when the steam hits to avoid some serious skin burns. The next version will have the glue and double sided tape. I didn't want to pass out from the glue smell in my sewing room while making this skirt. I was sewing to a deadline to enter the PR refashion contest.
Better online leather bloggers to really learn about leather sewing are the sewing lawyer, Kbenco, Clio and Phineas, Ann's sewing studio, Gorgeous Ann and LyndsayT. It was Lyndsay's post that started my quest to sew leather. These are some tips for sewing leather on a normal sewing machine too.
Peony update:
Sarah of Rhinestones and Telephones and featured my Derby Day Peony with Erin's version. And I found out that Erin of Miss Crayola Creepy loves Hawaiian print fabric, so she featured by test Peony. They've been hosting a Colette Pattern sewalong with Rochelle of Lucky Lucille. Love your Halloween Peony Rochelle. Thanks ladies. I've really enjoyed your sewalong.
And I've switched off anonymous again. I got lots of laughable spam so once the joke wore off, I switched anonymous off too:)

Brilliant work! I have a big bag of thrifted leather coats, so it is good to see one reworked into a great skirt. Maybe it's time to have a go.

KC, If the leather coats are thrifted, there's less stress on you to have a go at sewing leather.
Lena, have a look at your sewing machine's manual and see what setting they suggest for sewing leather. I guess you have an industrial machine. For domestic, I've lessened the feeder, lengthened the stitch length and then used a leather sewing needle. I'll use glue on the next version :)

Fabulous leather skirt! What a wonderful refashion :) I am impressed with your skills at sewing leather too. I have some faux suede to try in winter but it is more like fabric, so I'm guessing not as challenging ... We'll see ;)

What a great thing to do - lovely outcome. It looks much better now and I am sure will come out and play much more than the old 80's jacket.

What great use of an undesirable jacket!
We have something called 'Febreze' here in the UK - spray on whiff remover! If you used something like that(inside)it could help remove the smell. You are absolutely right that learning to sew leather (or fur) in these sort of circumstances takes the fear out of it.
Well done!

Fantastic skirt and what a great choice of leather. Gave new life to that tired jacket and it looks so current (not to mention expensive). Combined with the jacket it is such a stylish outfit, love it.

Pregnant women face a higher risk for serious injuries when in a car accident, leading to birth injuries.
Car accidents are tragic events that can cause life-threatening injuries including spinal injuries, brain injuries, and amputations. Certain people are at a higher risk of sustaining serious car accident injuries – small children, the elderly, those who are obese or below average height, and pregnant women. Pregnant women face a high risk for serious injuries when in a car accident, leading to birth injuries.
Car Accidents and Pregnant Women
In research published by the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, more than 870,000 pregnant women who gave birth between 2001 and 2008 were examined. It was found that car accidents pose a serious threat to pregnant women and their unborn babies. The study revealed that trauma is a leading cause of death among unborn babies. The impact of a car crash can cause damage to the organ systems that are shared by the mother and fetus.
Fetal Injury in a Vehicle Collision
Each year, hundreds of babies are born with complications, injuries, and permanent defects resulting from injuries their mothers suffered in serious car accidents. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, car accidents cause almost 5,000 fetal deaths each year as a result of collision injuries. The risk of a pregnant woman getting into a car accident is only three percent; however, the risk of the unborn baby suffering injuries if the mother is in an accident is 70 percent. Collision-related birth injuries include:
- Premature birth – A car crash can cause internal injuries that damage the uterus. This can lead to a miscarriage or premature birth.
- Cuts, puncture wounds, lacerations – Debris, sharp objects, and broken glass may puncture the mother's abdomen. This can cut or stab the fetus.
- Brain damage – Hypoxic (lack of oxygen) effects the uterus and can cause the placenta to detach or can cause maternal bleeding or maternal hypoxia.
How Pregnant Women Can Avoid Injuries
Pregnant women need to be extra cautious when driving and take necessary precautions to avoid getting injured in accidents. Although it may not be possible to completely eliminate the risk of a car accident, certain precautions can reduce the risk:
- Be focused on the road and avoid distracted driving.
- Drive when well rested.
- Be extra cautious when traveling in unfamiliar areas and on longer road trips.
- Wear a seat belt at all times.
These simple steps can go a long way in preventing injuries and fatalities.
Chicago Auto Accident Attorney
When pregnant women are involved in an accident, it poses a risk to both the mother and the unborn child. Birth injuries can have lifelong consequences for the baby. If the accident was a result of someone else's negligence, damages can be recovered from the at-fault driver. Seek legal help from a Chicago auto accident attorney.

OnPoint: Budget 2014: Yeah okay., in reply to
The visualisation's a bit off for MPI - "Border Biosecurity Risk Management" is listed as both increasing and decreasing by 100%, as is "Implementation of Policy Advice" (at least I think those are the same thing both times). LINZ has similar issues - it thinks almost everything is new.
So sometimes items change in scope (e.g. From "policy advice" to "policy advice and support" or something). Technically, if a scope is worded differently, then it actually is a different budget item, so get its own ID, so the visualisation treats them as separate item. This isn't very helpful, but is an accurate rendering of the data.
OnPoint: The Big Guns: Truecrypt and Tails, in reply to
Should I be looking into public/private keys, Truecrypt and the like? Would I get any practical benefit out of them?
Pretty much what Michael said. Your biggest risks are from accidental loss/opportunistic theft. Encrypting your hard drive (especially on your laptop) and USB drives is something you should definitely do.
(c) Supports online privacy?
Using VPN as a matter of course would be helpful - it doesn't help you much against a serious adversary, but it offers you a pretty decent level of privacy. Also, it's helpful for online privacy, because it creates more locked doors, which creates cover for everyone who actually needs it.
OnPoint: The Big Guns: Truecrypt and Tails, in reply to
If you have access you can read the crypto keys out of memory (along with the decrypted data itself, of course). So installing that cool screensaver is still dangerous with Tails/TrueCrypt.
You're right. I was trying to illustrate the point of a straight-to-ram OS, but I overstated the safety of Tails. However, being a Linux system, and with Tails making it very difficult to install anything, it should be fairly difficult to do.
OnPoint: The Big Guns: Truecrypt and Tails, in reply to
then existence of second layer files can be found, and you can be compelled to give the keys for those too.
No. From http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/hidden-volume#Y0:
Even when the outer volume is mounted, it should be impossible to prove whether there is a hidden volume within it or not, because free space on any TrueCrypt volume is always filled with random data when the volume is created and no part of the (dismounted) hidden volume can be distinguished from random data.
OnPoint: The Big Guns: Truecrypt and Tails, in reply to
The irony is that in the "security vs obscurity" stakes that is common in encryption speak, any people really planning to do things that intelligence services (and police) really should be worried about, tend to use obscurity.
This has all been aimed at journalists and their sources. For journalists, obscurity is not an option. But on the up side, journalists aren't going to get Gitmo'd in the near future. I'm not worried about the entirety of the NSA, just about some very specific powers of some very specific individuals.
In this case, that the Police can get a search warrant and seize your computers and your devices, and upon discovery of an encrypted hard drive, can compel you to give up the password. It's a VERY specific adversary. It's not unlimited, it doesn't involve rubber hosing or extraordinary rendition, or indefinite detention, or supercomputers brute forcing your shit, or the TAO using custom exploits to target whatever.
OnPoint: The Big Guns: Truecrypt and Tails, in reply to
Even if they are on the hard drive, a 1GB hidden volume would be hard to spot in the clutter of a Terabyte drive.
(Speculation:) I imagine that encrypted files are reasonably distinct, and that a forensic analysis tool should be able to find them, regardless of size.
But yeah, a microSD card is a great form factor.
OnPoint: The Big Guns: Truecrypt and Tails,
I wouldn't know. I have no hidden volumes.
OnPoint: The Gift that Keeps on Making…, in reply to
There's really not that much point worrying about what access to your data intelligence services have (unless, of course, you are a spook yourself), because they have the power to coerce from you anything you care to hide.
Though I keep talking about PRISM and other NSA systems, this is not the same as "avoiding the NSA". Avoiding active surveillance by the NSA is, obviously, some next level shit. However, avoiding passive surveillance by the NSA is not.
The main threat for journalists in NZ is the use of NSA systems by the GCSB, probably at the behest of the Police. That means they have access to some NSA systems, but it doesn't mean they can bring the full force of the NSA to bear.
PRISM data can be acquired by lawful search/interception, which is why allowing NZ to use it isn't a big deal. Giving NZ access to a system which cracks encryption would reveal their capability to crack encryption, which would be a big deal. This limits what we have to worry about.
Nor, presumably, would TAO be part of what NZ can access. So in that sense, we can speculate about all the amazeball capabilities of the NSA, but it doesn't all automatically transfer to the GCSB.
And yeah, we've seen instances where they've gone to the boundaries of the law, and then took a few more steps. But that doesn't mean they're completely rogue and would go around renditioning and waterboarding New Zealanders.
OnPoint: BTW, the NZ Police can use…, in reply to
Thanks, it took me nigh on 1/2 an hour though so...
OnPoint: Ich bin ein Cyberpunk, in reply to
umm, not really. It means the request has a classification level of Secret, that its subject relates to communications intelligence (you got that bit right), and that it may be released to the members of Five Eyes.
My "it means that.." statement was supposed to be a summary of the header in the context of all the facts that have come before it, not a straight translation of what the header meant.

Ordering Available Perspectives
Instructions for Authors
Publication Ethics Policy
Logic is a subject which is both rich and varied. Its origins lie in philosophy and the foundations of mathematics. But during the last half century it formed deep links with many branches of mathematics. More recently it has become a central tool in theoretical computer science, and its influence in linguistics is growing rapidly.
The Perspectives in Logic series publishes substantial, high-quality books whose central theme lies in any area or aspect of logic. Books that present new material not now available in book form are particularly welcome. The series ranges from introductory texts suitable for beginning graduate courses to specialized monographs at the frontiers of research. Each book offers an illuminating perspective for its intended audience. The ASL is committed to making books in the Perspectives in Logic series available at a reasonable cost, and intends to keep them available in print or electronic form indefinitely.
This series is the successor to the series Perspectives in Mathematical Logic, which was founded in 1969 by the Omega Group, consisting of R. O. Gandy, H. Hermes, A. Levy, G. H. Müller, G. E. Sacks and D. S. Scott. This group was initially sponsored by a grant from the Stiftung Volkswagenwerk and the series appeared under the auspices of the Heidelberger Akademie der Wissenschaften. From 1986 to 2001, Perspectives in Mathematical Logic was published by Springer-Verlag under editorial direction of the Association for Symbolic Logic. In 2001 the ASL assumed full responsibility for the series and broadened its scope to include all of logic. It is now published jointly with Cambridge University Press as Perspectives in Logic.

Pebber Brown my guitar teacher appoched me, Frank Thoeny, about developing an educational LMS website. I was unsure of what platform we could use. Thinking about what I can do and how I can show some of my talents, I decided to use PERL as the foundation to develop the website. The first challenge was to come up with a module for logging in to the secure area of the site. This first hurdle was over come by going to CPAN and finding a module.
After such a long deliberation and I discovered the amount of work that was involved we both opted for an existing LMS technology. Moodle was chosen based on it's popularity at the University of La Verne. However I kept the PERL Modules that I started developing as possibly something I could use in the future.


text: Fooling Around with Frames 145 Figure 13.3. This version of the page mysteriously displays the navigation stuff in its own section at the top of the page. To perform this magic trick, I had to do three things: · I grabbed the HTML tags and text that make up my navigation section, and I put it all into a separate file called header.html. · I grabbed the rest of the page text and put it into another file called beach-f.html. · I created a third page called beach2.html that has a few special tags that serve to divide the browser window into two frames . I included in this page the instructions to load the header.html file into the top frame, and the beach-f.html file into the bottom frame. The big deal is that with this view, surfers can scroll through beach-f.html in the bottom frame until they're blue in the face, and the navigation section remains steadfastly in place. It's even possible to arrange things so that if you click any link, the new page appears in the bottom frame. In other words, the top frame is really the web equivalent of picture-in-picture! Okay, now that you know what frames are and why you might want to bother with them, let's see how you go about constructing them. Forging a Frameset Page The good news about frames is that you can build them using just a few not-too-hard-to-master HTML tags. Unfortunately, most frame neophytes get thrown for a loop right off the bat because the first thing you have to create is a web page that doesn't display anything! Huh? Let me explain. After you enter the frames world, you're faced with not one, but two species of web page: · Content pages--A content page is just a regular HTML page like the ones you've dealt with throughout this book. That is, they display text, graphics, and whatever other goodies the author packs into the page. · Frameset pages--A frameset page has only one mission in life: to divide the browser window into a set of frames, define the size of each frame, and specify which content pages are displayed in each frame. Note that (as you'll soon see) frameset pages have no body section, so you shouldn't populate a frameset page with anything that would normally appear in the body, in- cluding regular text and HTML tags such as <B> and <IMG>. If you try, the browser simply ignores your efforts completely and concentrates solely on the frame information.

British History - The Whigs and the Reform era, 1832 - 5 - Reform in Scotland - Municipal Reform - Factory Acts - Poor Law - Socialists and Chartists.
( Originally Published 1922 )
For three years after the passing of the Reform Bill the Whigs continued to show, under Benthamite and Radical impulse, a legislative activity on the grand scale. Their failure in the sphere of finance, subsequently made good by Peel, and their gradual sterilisation first under Melbourne and then under Palmerston, have associated the Whig name with the idea of a too placid enjoyment of power. Such a judgment, not wholly unjust, leaves out of reckoning the years 1831 -5. The Government that in five years recast our municipal as well as our parliamentary institutions, passed the new Poor Law and the first effective Factory Act, and abolished negro slavery, made more lasting change in the British world than any other Cabinet has. done since Stuart times.
Because law-making of a character so new and comprehensive required a closer examination of complex facts than busy Ministers could give, Lord Grey's Government made the appointment of Royal Commissions the customary prelude to legislation. The lines followed by the Municipal Reform Act, the Factory Act and the new Poor Law were all traced out beforehand by Commissioners, who had been selected not on account of their official experience or political weight, but as vigorous and able men, usually of known Benthamite proclivities. Jeremy Bentham himself, over eighty, but ' codifying like any dragon ' till the last, had died the day before the Reform Bill became law. But his spirit was scouring the country, armed with the force of government and of public opinion, inquiring into every local authority or endowment, and pertly asking ` What is the use of it ? '
If ever a country was saved by Act of Parliament from open rebellion, Scotland was so saved by her Reform Bill drawn on the same lines as the English Bill, and by her Burgh Act of the following year. Political self-government, central and local, was an English invention, imported into Scotland by the Grey Ministry, but intensely popular in spite of its foreign origin. Although in temper, creed and outlook on life the Scottish people were less submissive than the English, the civil institutions of their country contained in 1830 no elements of popular election such as always existed here and there in the south of the island. There was no safety-valve for all that pent energy. The Reform Bill, in England an evolution, in Scotland was a revolution, veiled in form of law, and the passions aroused over it had been proportionately more fierce.' As soon as its enactment had given the Scots for the first time real representation at Westminster, their impatience to begin governing themselves at home was so great that the Scottish Burgh Act of 1833 preceded the English Municipal Reform Act by two years. For this reason the new municipal electorate in Scotland was identified with the new Parliamentary ' Ten Pounders,' while England, by waiting two years longer, obtained the more democratic municipal franchise of all who paid rates.
The political horoscope of the year 1835, when borough government was revolutionised in England, was favourable to Radical legislation owing to the events of 1834. The retirement of Lord Grey, the secession of the Conservative-minded Stanley and Graham on Irish questions, and the growing hostility of the King, who tried in vain to bring in a Tory Cabinet on his own royal authority,1 drove the Whig Ministry, reconstituted under Melbourne and Russell, to rely for a while on O'Connell and the Radicals. Russell had still the energies of an advanced Reformer. Hence the English Municipal Corporations Act is the high-water mark of Benthamite Radicalism acting through the Whig machine. After that, the waters of Reform abate in the force of their onset, as the middle class settles down to a period of enjoying the fruits of victory.
The system of close corporations for governing the towns had been bound up with that of the rotten boroughs for returning members to Parliament. Municipal Reform would have been impossible without Parliamentary Reform. And the first use which the Ten Pounders had made of their newly acquired Parliamentary votes was to claim popular government in the daily life of their localities. The most constant grievance of the ordinary shopkeeper, publican or manufacturer was to be governed in his own town by a cooptive municipality, usually a local ring of certain attorneys, doctors, retired officers and minor gentry, in close connection with the local Tory organisation, ' a shabby mongrel aristocracy ' as their envious neighbours called them. On most municipal bodies no Dissenter, Whig or Radical had the smallest chance of serving, at a time when those categories together covered the vast majority of the inhabitants. A few municipalities were nominated by Whig grandees. A few had a democratic franchise.
Such was the social and political aspect of the municipal system that perished in 1835. Its administrative aspect was incompetence that refused to undertake the new duties called for by new conditions of urban life. The areas of the boroughs were those of bygone ages, and had no respect to the recent shifting of population. To make good the worst deficiencies of the inert municipal corporations, powers had often been given to other ad hoc bodies to deal with lighting, drainage, paving, water or police. Confusion had thus been worse confounded, and local government throughout the island had become a welter of divided powers and local anomalies. There was need of the two Benthamite principles of uniformity and popular election. These the Bill of 1835 largely provided.
The English Municipal Corporations Act applied to all the principal towns except London, which already enjoyed a e democratic though very anomalous and unsatisfactory government.1 Elsewhere the larger corporations were abolished and disendowed, and their place was taken by municipal bodies elected by all ratepayers. The path of the Whig government in carrying this democratic revolution was smoothed for them by Sir Robert Peel. Peel had, the year before, in his famous ' Tamworth manifesto ' to his constituents, called on the Tory party to accept the logic of the Reform Bill and reconstitute itself as a ' conservative ' party, which under his leadership was often very liberal.
Peel in the Commons had accepted Russell's Municipal Reform Bill, but Lord Lyndhurst, saying : Peel ! What is Peel to me ? ' - led his brother peers to amend it out of all recognition. A crisis seemed at hand recalling that of '32, but Peel persuaded Wellington to order a retreat, and the Bill finally passed with modifications consonant with its purpose, some of which were improvements.
The new corporations were not trusted with the licensing of public-houses, or with any judicial powers. The separation of the benches of magistrates from the town corporations, on the ground that the latter had now become elective, and that justice is incompatible with party electioneering, was regretted by one section of Radical opinion of that day, but the principle of a non-elective judiciary has been ratified by the experience and conviction of succeeding generations of Britons all over the Empire.
The Act readjusted the administrative areas of the boroughs to some extent, though not enough. Each of the new municipalities was empowered to levy a local rate, and gradually to resume the various functions, sanitary and other, then exercised by ad hoc local bodies. In this way in every municipal area a powerful and popular focus of authority was set up, which has in the course of time absorbed almost every local public activity except licensing and justice. Few would have prophesied in 1835 that the education of the people would one day be carried on by these new bodies, or that they would become traders and employers of labour on a great scale. Nor was any provision made in the Act for the close connection that eventually grew up between the municipalities and the government departments at Whitehall, the latter at once aiding and controlling the local bodies in all their activities through the instrument of national grants in aid of local rates. These developments, on which so much of the health and happiness of our modern society depends, were not foreseen, but were rendered possible by the bold and uniform legislation of 1835.
While town government became democratic as a sequel to the parliamentary enfranchisement of the Ten Pound house-holder, the rural districts remained under the government of the squires for another half-century. It was only in 1888 that the establishment of County Councils following on the enfranchisement of the rural labourer in 18 84, did for the country what had been done in 1835 for the town. For half a century longer the Justices of the Peace conducted not only rural justice but rural administration, and the element of election did not enter into county affairs. These differences in government reflected and increased the social and. political divergence between town and country, characteristic of nineteenth-century England. The spirit of the old regime, extinguished in the towns, continued its reign in the rural districts. This was the inner meaning of the battle over the Corn Laws, when rural and urban society came into conflict for the possession of the central government at Westminster.
For the present any such conflict was postponed. Radical reform worked off its first enthusiasm on subjects such as town government, factory acts, negro slavery, wherein the interests or affections of the country gentlemen were not involved. The Corn Laws remained unaltered. The Church, which had prophesied her own fall if Reform passed, did not even lose her less defensible outworks. The Whig Cabinet broke up
when it proposed to touch with mildest hand the extravagant endowments of the Protestant establishment in Ireland, in the hope of appeasing the ' tithe war ' between the Catholic peasant and the minister of an alien religion. In England the Church retained till 1868 the right to levy a rate for ecclesiastical purposes from parishioners of all denominations, till 1871 the monopoly of Oxford and Cambridge, and till 1880 the power to read her burial service at the graveside of Dissenters. Yet these were all subjects on which the Non-conformists felt deeply. So little is it true to say that England was governed by the dissenting middle class between the first and second Reform Bills.'
In these circumstances the Dissenters knew that a system of national education could only take the form of a system of Church education, and for this reason never seriously agitated the question, till the Reform Bill of 1867 had again altered the distribution of power in their favour. Meanwhile the Church was content to increase the number of her National Schools,2 which became by far the largest group in the educational field. Thus denominational rivalry was a spur to educational endowment and activity, but discouraged State intervention which alone could cover the whole ground. In 1833, however, the State made a grant of L20,000 towards the school buildings of the voluntary societies the small beginning of the national system of education. The grant was renewed annually, and led in 1839 to the establishment of an Educational Committee of the Privy Council, with a permanent secretary and a system of inspection of the State-aided schools, the origin of the Board of Education.
In 1833 the Whig Government, under pressure from an almost revolutionary agitation among the working classes in the north, passed the first effective Factory Act, which fixed legal limits for the working hours of children and young per-sons respectively, and prohibited the employment of children under nine except in silk mills. The peculiar merit of Lord Althorp's Bill, though it met with little favour at the time among the northern agitators, was the institution of government inspectors to enforce the law, a device suggested by some of the better-disposed among the millowners themselves. It was not merely bad employers but bad parents, living on their children's labour, who required watching. Government inspection was the only way to make this class of law operative. It secured the success of the factory code for adults that was gradually elaborated in later years.
Factory legislation was never a party question. The movement, started in the Waterloo era by Robert Owen, the Socialist manufacturer, and by Peel's father, the Tory manufacturer, was taken up in the 'thirties and 'forties with passionate enthusiasm by the factory victims themselves, who were mostly Radicals, under the leadership of Oastler and Michael Sadler, who may be described as Tory democrats, while the parliamentary management fell to the Conservative Lord Shaftesbury, aided by many Whigs and Liberals.
Against factory legislation were arrayed the majority, though not by any means all, of the millowners, and politicians drawn in fairly equal proportions from both parties. The doctrinaire political economists declared that only long hours could enable England to compete with the rising power of foreign manufacture. They ignored the physiological fact that overwork reduces output.
The umpire between these disputants was the Parliament of English country gentlemen, Liberal and Conservative, who had no personal interest involved. On the one hand they had been brought up to believe the prophecies of the political economists; but on the other hand, since the manufacturers were attacking the Corn Laws on the ground of humanity, the landlords were driven to counter-attack with inquiries as to the seamy side of factory life, asking questions that in a former generation their fathers would have scouted as ' Jacobinical.'
The second crisis of factory legislation, growing out of the children's charter of 1833, came in 1844-7, contemporaneously with the repeal of the Corn Laws and heated with the fires of that great dispute. The ' ten hours Bill ' limited the daily work of women and youths in factories, and thereby in fact compelled the stoppage of all work after ten hours, as the grown men could not continue the processes alone. This had for years been the aspiration of the working classes and the storm-centre of a fierce controversy. In Parliament it produced curious cross-voting 2 and brought into the same lobby the most embittered political antagonists. It passed in 1847.
What the Reform Bill of 832 was to all later Reform Bills, the Factory Acts of 1833 and 1847 are to the far-spreading system of statutory regulation which now governs the conditions of almost all branches of industry. The factory system, which at its first coming bade fair to destroy the health and happiness of the race, has been gradually converted into an instrument for levelling up the average lot of the city-dweller. Robert Owen's vision, that he had first embodied in the New Lanark mills, was in the course of a hundred years made a standard for the greater part of the industrial world. And the decisive first steps were taken during the period which it is usual to condemn as obsessed by the doctrines of laissez faire. It is difficult to obsess people with a mere doctrine if once their hearts or their interests are touched. The former generation, being in a mood to grind the faces of the poor, had chosen out those parts of laissez faire which suited that purpose and had neglected the rest. Now the process was being reversed by the generation that repealed the Corn Laws and passed the Factory Acts. At no period was laissez faire in force in all its main doctrines at once.
The Whig Poor Law of 1834 was based on the famous report of the Royal Commission, inspired by Chadwick and Nassau Senior. The pauperisation of the English working class, especially in the country districts, by the Speenhamland system of supplementing inadequate wages out of rates, had kept wages down, and sent the birth-rate up.1 The self respect and self-help of the rural working class were systematically destroyed by magistrates who, while stern against agitation for higher wages and instinctively disliking real independence, were ready enough to assist the cringing poor out of the public funds. It had been made profitable and easy to become a pauper.2
Society was perishing of this disease and the new Poor Law applied the knife. It had the great merit of putting an end to the systematic abuse of outdoor relief. But, since the idea of fixing a statutory minimum wage was outside the economic vision of the time, the necessary change could only be effected with great hardship. The sudden withdrawal of outdoor relief from the wage-earner without any security for an immediate rise of wages, often caused acute misery before wages actually rose. Families which had hitherto enjoyed an allowance off the rates for every child, were driven to send mother and children to field labour under the terrible conditions of the ' gang system ' that became prevalent on English farms, just when the children in the factories were passing under the effective protection of the law. The rural tragedy had only taken a new form.
Too great local variation and too much parochial independence had been among the faults of the old Poor Law. Centralisation and national uniformity was the principle of the new. A permanent Commission of three persons was em-powered to carry out the new policy; the local ' Boards of Guardians ' set up in the ' Unions ' of parishes served merely to execute the orders of the three. The ' three tyrants ' concentrated on their heads the hatred of the poor of England, and came in for the last lashes of old Cobbett's whip. The youthful author of Oliver Twist (1838) by describing what workhouses meant for those who had to inhabit them, appealed from the Benthamite abstractions in which the Commissioners dealt, to the flesh and blood realities which interested the more sensitive public of the Victorian era.
The Commissioners strove, not with complete success, to collect into their ' Bastilles,' as the workhouses were popularly called, all able-bodied persons who applied for public relief, and so to subject the genuineness of each application to the ' workhouse test.' With the dreadful results of Speenhamland before them, they were determined that the pauper should be distinctly worse off than the independent labourer. Unfortunately, as they could not improve the lot of the one, they had to depress the condition of the other. They made workhouse life miserable as a matter of policy. Absorbed in the pressing problem of the able-bodied pauper, they gave too little thought to the case of the women and children, the sick and aged, whether outside or inside the workhouse, and they had no idea of curative treatment.
In 1847 the Commission was turned into a regular Government Department, the Poor Law Board. The national and centralised character which the first: Commissioners had stamped on the Poor Law made it easier to carry out the many improvements suggested later on by a philanthropy that gradually became more humane as it became more experienced and more scientific. Imperfect and harsh as was the work of 1834, it had been intellectually honest within its limits, and together with the Factory Act of the year before formed the first big attempt of the legislature to deal with the evils incident to the Industrial Revolution.
Meanwhile the working classes were endeavouring to help themselves not very successfully in the 'thirties. Socialistic Trade Unionism led by Owen (1833�4), and the Chartist movement to obtain the parliamentary franchise (1838�9) were both failures.
It was largely due to the personal influence which Owen's services had earned for him with the workingmen, that a wave of Socialist enthusiasm swept British Trade Unionism for two years out of the path that it pursued with such success during the remainder of the nineteenth century. Owen, having started the Factory Code and sowed the ideas that in later years gave rise to the Co-operative Wholesale Society, was in his old age fired with a Socialist gospel, much of which sprang up again with characteristic modifications in the doctrines of St. Simon in France and of Marx in Germany. Owen now taught that ' labour is the source of all wealth,' and induced some half-million working men and women to join in a Grand National Trade Union, for the purpose, at any rate in his own mind, of carrying out a system of communistic production. ` All individual competition,' said Owen, ' is to cease. All trades shall form Associations of lodges to consist of a convenient number for carrying on the business. All individuals of the specific craft shall become members.' But the ' Grand National ' soon melted away, having no proper organisation or finance and no very distinct idea what it was to do.1 The normal development of Trade Unionism was resumed, in local and sectional action, on questions of wages and hours.
Trade Unions were still on their trial. They had only become legal in 1824�5. Partly owing to their temporary connection with Owenite Socialism, the feeling of employers and of government against the Unions was very strong in these years, and broke out in 1834 in the transportation of the ` Dorchester labourers ' for attempting to form an agricultural labourers' Union in which oaths were administered. The rally of the working classes all over the country to the defence of these men, the one thing in which the ' Grand National ' was able to be of practical service, secured the shortening of their sentences and probably prevented further attempts to nullify the liberating Acts of 824-5. But the farmers had other ways than transportation of suppressing Trade Unionism in agriculture.
After the failure of Owen's non-parliamentary programme, the political side of the Labour movement was revived in the
People's Charter, with its six points of manhood suffrage, ballot, equal electoral districts, payment of members of Parliament, abolition of their property qualification, and annual Parliaments. All points save the last are now the law of the land. But the Chartist movement could find no abler chiefs than Feargus O'Connor and Lovett, and collapsed in 1839 in rioting and ' physical force ' among the South Welsh miners. Government imprisoned the leaders and so broke the organisation of the movement. The Trade Unionists looked on with an indifference which they had not shown over the fate of the Dorset labourers, and middle-class radicalism was equally supine. Sympathy had been alienated from a movement of which the aim was political, but which was too ' class conscious' to be a political success. Chartism repudiated the alliance of middle-class radicalism on principle, its adherents rejoicing to interrupt anti-Corn Law meetings. Its failure was sealed in 1839, but it lingered on till its second and final catastrophe in 1848. The working-class demand for the franchise only became effective when it found a leader in John Bright, whose household suffrage movement united classes which Chartism had striven to divide.
The economic condition of the working class in the 'thirties was indeed so bad as to render impossible their steady co-operation with other classes in a purely political programme. As young Disraeli said, there were ' two nations ' in England, between whom a gulf was fixed. The bread-and-butter character of the Corn Law question bridged the gulf to some extent in the 'forties, but it was only in the 'sixties, when conditions of life had very materially improved, that: Bright's conciliatory policy of uniting all the unenfranchised, to demand political rights in common had any chance of success. Though the spirit of the Chartists was too intransigeant and their leadership second rate, they had pointed the working class back to political action and a belief in Parliament, and this tradition was fortified in later and happier years by the memory of much heroism and self-sacrifice. When British democracy at length won the vote, many an ` old Chartist ' took part in the final victory.

Downtown Naperville was a mix of clean-up and commerce Friday in the wake of flooding that left several streets under water.
While some stores' entrances were blocked by sandbags and closed signs, for others it was business as usual.
Morning bridge closures didn't seem to stop motorists from making their way through the heart of the city although foot traffic appeared lighter than usual, likely due in part to frigid temperatures and falling snow.

Kristian, Shalabi, St-Onge. It doesn't roll off the tongue like Emerson, Lake and Palmer, now does it? Although I will concede that this bandname is slightly less cumbersome than Anderson-Bruford-Wakeman-Howe, it's fair to say that this record was not intended for discussion. Can you see asking someone, "Have you heard the new one by Kristian, Shalabi, St-Onge?" Or, "I like the Pixies, John Coltrane and Kristian, Shalabi, St-Onge." Fuck it. It just doesn't work.
But I have to figure something out, because if asked about recent favorite records, my answer would include this thing by Kristian, Shalabi, St-Onge. A bit of background on the players: David Kristian is an electronic musician fond of collaboration who explores the audibility threshold with his ambient works (see Room Tone) as well as dabbling in beat-driven techno. Sam Shalabi is a versatile musician who has lent his name to the near-East trance combo the Shalabi Effect, as well as playing on countless records in the Constellation/Godspeed/Alien8 axis. And Alexandre St-Onge plays upright bass with the Shalabi Effect, in addition to other gigs. All are based in Montreal, where they've performed together as a trio on occasion.
While this record is improvised, the mood of each piece is so integrated and clearly defined it feels more like studied composition. St-Onge's upright bass provides the anchor with unsettling drones, scuffs and plucks. Kristian fills in dark colors on an analog synth, sometimes with gurgling modulation, and other times with quaking bass tones. Shalabi, meanwhile, provides much of the texture, picking and scraping his way on guitar and oud. It's an odd combination on paper, but the three work together as a single six-armed beast intent on conjuring black, brooding atmosphere.
A discomforting sense of anxiety is established from the outset with "Dirt Well." Kristian lays down a warm drone, and over it, St-Onge bows a slow, creaking bass. When Shalabi adds delicate plucks on oud, the music becomes paradoxically both menacing and delicate, as the tiny, precise sounds far exceed the sum of their parts. The music occasionally threatens to burst into pure noise, but the crescendo (and attendant relief) never comes. This music is about the stalk and the hunt, not the kill, and the tension is impressively thick.
The mood throughout is so consistent and relentless that some of the individual pieces are hard to differentiate. As Kristian's is the most sonically flexible instrument, the tracks that stand out most are those where he takes the lead. "The Heart of a Mouse" begins with some looped glitch-style friction, introduces other low level pops and hisses, and then becomes an increasingly quiet buzz that fades over the course of a minute or more. "Insistent Falls" finds Kristian piercing the silence with a high-pitched, grating synth drone piled on by guitar scrapes and bass moans. St-Onge take the lead on "Little Feck," bowing higher in his instrument's range and imparting an eerie, speech-like quality that works perfectly next to the hypnotic hum.
Kristian, Shalabi, St-Onge is a demanding record-- one that requires a certain amount of work from the listener to be fully appreciated. The subtlety and quiet detail simply cannot be grasped without concentration. So no more talking; it is time now we listen.

In today's edition of the Urban Survival Newsletter, I'm going to
talk briefly about some unintended consequences of the healthcare
bill that were announced today, cover a little more on poppies,
tell you about a tactical flashlight you can buy for under $8!
and point you to a great AR vs. AK resource.
I've had quite a bit of feedback on Wednesday's newsletter about
using the current focus on healthcare as a spark to get more
self-reliant when it comes to medical and trauma self-care.
Again…regardless of your political beliefs, PLEASE use this
opportunity to become more prepared.
If you haven't read Wednesday's newsletter yet, it's posted at:
I've also added some of the emails that I received back as
comments after the article…good stuff. We're making it easier
for you to join the conversation, so let me know what you think
while you're there.
One of the biggest questions I received was on poppies. What
kind? Where to get? Tell me more!
The seeds themselves are cheap, legal, and you probably actually
eat them a few times a month (think 'poppy seed bread') and you
can buy them MANY places, including local nurseries, and
Amazon.com. You want to search for one particular variety,
called "Papaver somniferum." There are SEVERAL really pretty
color options within that variety.
As you can probably imagine, a LOT of the literature surrounding
poppies come from the "drug culture", "hippie culture", and
"far-out culture." That being said, one book that you might want to get is,
"Opium for the Masses." You can find it on Amazon at
Again, I am not advocating illegal drug use, harvesting, or
processing…Several of my friends and some close relatives
are in law enforcement and they risk their lives fighting illegal
drug use. I'm simply including this as something for you to
consider if you are concerned about a long-term complete
breakdown in civil order. In fact, one rule of thumb that you
could follow is that you shouldn't harvest or process the sap
from the poppy unless things have broken down so completely that
you feel comfortable asking local law enforcement to guard your
garden and come over to help you harvest.
If you want to really get into the botanical specifics, like the
specific variety, soil type, plant spacing, fertilizer, and other
techniques for optimum morphine yield, check out:
We're planting some this year. They're really nice flowers to
look at and I don't want to wait until I NEED the skill to learn
it. Who knows…we may even bake a couple batches of poppie seed
Healthcare=phone surcharges?
Amazingly enough, we're already getting fallout from the passing
of the healthcare bill…AT&T announced today that it will take a
$1 BILLION charge for THIS QUARTER because of changes to the
Medicare-subsidy tax treatment. We can expect similar
announcements from most major companies and we can expect all of
these costs to get passed on to the consumer. Look for these
charges to start showing up on our receipts as "surcharge" fees
and higher prices across the board. In other words, your dollar
is about to get devalued…If you've been waiting to stock up on
essentials, I think now would be a good time.
CHEAP tactical flashlights:
My amazing wife found a tactical flashlight this week that is
affordable AND pretty darn cool. She found it at Costco, of all
places! They're currently selling 2 for $15. It has a low, high
(160 lumen) and strobe setting. It's not as high quality as my
Surefire lights, but I can afford to buy a few of these so I have
good backups to my Surefires and so I can have more tactical
lights handy. I'm going to be doing a video review of it this
week…including dropping and throwing it to see what damage it
will take. I'll let people know on Twitter.com/SurvivalDave and
Facebook.com/SurvivalDave when I post it and I'll include a link
in next week's newsletter.
AR vs. AK?
If you've been thinking about buying a high-caliber rifle, but
have been torn between an AR or an AK, buy both. (Joking
GIJeff has written a great piece about his experiences with the
two systems and how he purchased both at VERY reasonable prices.
To read it, head on over to Jeff's blog at
Until Next Week,
David Morris
P.S. If you haven't signed up for the SurviveInPlace.com Urban
Survival Course, you really need to. In addition to covering
alternatives to prescription medications, we go over improvised
trauma strategies, and tactical considerations you need to know
before you are forced into a survival situation. To see the

Georgia 4, Florida 0
Georgia 4, Florida 0May 17, 2007
Athens, Ga. - The No. 19 University of Florida men's tennis team had its run in the 2007 NCAA team draw come to a close Thursday evening as the Gators fell to top-ranked Georgia, 4-0, in the Round of 16 meeting at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex in Athens, Ga.
"I couldn't be prouder of our team and particularly our season," said UF head coach Andy Jackson. "Georgia was too good for us and stopped us from advancing. All the credit goes to them. They won because the played better and they won because the have a lot of talent."
The season concluded with the Gators posting a 15-8 overall record and making an appearance in the NCAA Round of 16 for the sixth-straight season and the 14th time in the past 17 years. UF maintained a top 25 ranking in the ITA poll for all but one week of the campaign. In addition, the Gators finished in a tie for third in the Southeastern Conference standings and got to the semifinals of the league tournament for the fifth-straight season and the 11th time in school history.
Georgia quickly grabbed the doubles point with wins on courts two and three in just over 30 minutes. At the time the Bulldogs clinched, UF's third-ranked Jesse Levine and Greg Ouellette were even at five on the top court with UGA's number one ranked John Isner and Luis Flores.
In singles play, UGA's Nate Schnugg (95) made it 2-0 with a 6-1, 6-2 victory over UF's Jordan Dolberg on court five. Minutes later, Matic Omerzel (35) got the Bulldogs to within one of the win with a 6-2, 6-0 showing against Billy Mulligan on court four. Georgia's Travis Helgeson (12) provided the clincher with a 6-4, 6-1 decision against UF's Nestor Briceno on court three.
With the team match decided, play was halted on the remaining courts. Levine (No. 3), who was squaring off against Isner (No. 1) on court one when play was stopped now carries his 21-0 record into the NCAA singles draw later this month. Levine is the first player since Fresno State's Peter Luczak in 2001 to be undefeated entering the singles competition. That year, Luczak was 27-0 before losing in the first round.
Levine will be joined by Ouellette when the singles draw begins on May 23 in Athens. Levine will be the No. 3 seed in singles and the two will team as the No. 3 seed in the doubles draw, which gets underway on May 24.

A Florida judge says a defamation lawsuit filed against Casey Anthony can go to trial early next year.
Judge Lisa Munyon released her ruling Thursday. Zenaida (zen-I'-da) Fernandez-Gonzalez claims she was damaged by Anthony telling detectives that a baby sitter by the same name kidnapped Anthony's 2-year-old daughter Caylee.
The detectives were investigating the 2008 disappearance of the girl, who later was found dead. Last year, Anthony was acquitted of Caylee's murder.
Anthony's attorney said details offered by Anthony did not match Fernandez-Gonzalez and clearly showed Anthony wasn't talking about her. Gonzalez's attorneys say she still was damaged as the only person with that name interviewed by investigators.
Fernandez-Gonzalez had never met Anthony. Investigators believe Anthony may have seen the name on an apartment rental application.

Ocean City's existing bike path runs from three miles from 9th Street to 36th Street and Haven Avenue.
Right now, the state Department of Transportation is doing an $87,000 federally-funded study to see if it makes sense to extend the path 1.3 miles along an old railroad bed to 49th Street.
Harry Weiss represents the Friends of the Wetlands, a group totally against the bike path in the talked about location.
"It's time to say yes to bike paths, but only in the right place," Weiss said.
Friends of the Wetlands took their demonstration to City Hall today.
"I've raised a lot of money for charity through biking, but [my] problem [concerns] the endangered species that are out in the wetlands," Friends member Sandy Lilley said.
"It provides nesting and resting habitats for a great variety of birds," Friends member Joe Lomax said.
Ocean City Business Administrator Michael Dattilo says the city supports the study and a safe citywide bike network, but isn't locked into the railroad bed sight
"We agree that there are a number of environmental factors that have to be taken into consideration and that's part of what this study will help us do," Dattilo said.
Some bike path proponents point to a three quarter mile path that opened two years ago through wetlands adjacent to Ocean City at Corson's Inlet State Park.
"It's environmentally sound, it's safe, we're saying human life along with natural life," plan supporter John Kemenosh said.
"What we're looking for is safe biking in Ocean City and a good alternative in the south end which we currently don't have," Drew Fasy, chairman of Ocean City's Council on Physical Fitness, said.
If the plan were to be approved, Ocean City would have a bike path running from one end to the other of the railroad bed. However, alternate sites are being considered and the state Department of Transportation study is expected to be finished in about 6 months.
