Doctors: Enemy not heart disease, it's lifestyle
Jack Walsh was on his deathbed after the first of six major heart attacks from a faulty ticker that's led him to be hospitalized about three dozen times in past 13 years.
The retired Scranton electrician, now 64, promised God he would do something good with his life if he survived, and he did in January 1996.
He founded the Scranton chapter of Mended Hearts Inc. — a group that offers help, support and encouragement to heart-disease patients and their families.
He and his volunteers have made more than 25,000 visits with 10,000 patients at Mercy Hospital alone.
But you don't have to be Jack Walsh — heart problems have taken the lives of 11 of his close family members at or before age 58 — to know there's a good chance heart disease might kill you.
Each year, heart disease is responsible for 37 percent of deaths in Pennsylvania.
Better questions to ask than "Is it going to happen?" are "How can I prevent it from happening?" And, "If I survive an incident, how can I prolong my life?"
Local doctors say their takeaway message should be clear: medical innovations have worked and will continue to work wonders. But, ultimately, we can only rely on the lifestyles we lead to prolong our lives.
In Pennsylvania, a state with an older population of blue collar workers who often live life hard, residents are especially at risk. The state ranks 32nd out of more than 50 states and territories in age-adjusted mortality rates for cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease and strokes.
All told, the Pennsylvania Department of Health estimates lost productivity and health-care costs related to cardiovascular disease total $20.2 billion annually.
Yet, doctors say residents' biggest enemy is not heart disease, it's how we take care of ourselves.
That's why this "Hope at Home" special section provides treatment resources available to local residents and ways to keep your heart healthy. You don't have to have heart disease to know advanced care is available locally.
You'll also learn how rapidly improving medical technology and a nationwide push to standardize care with the best proven practices are saving lives.
We'll show you how insurers are working to more aggressively manage chronic heart disease. And you'll find out how heart disease, a broad spectrum of cardiovascular illnesses from coronary artery blockages to malfunctioning valves, affects adults and children as we profile residents who have dealt with the conditions.
This edition of "Hope at Home" is the third annual special report that examines a specific disease affecting the residents of Northeast Pennsylvanians. Our previous installments concentrated on cancer and diabetes.

Welcome! This site provides you with Indian Parsi Recipes, Methods and Techniques of cooking delicious Indian food.
Recently, I was invited to speak and present "The Place of Tea in Indian Culture and the Kerala Tea Gardens" at the Boston Athenaeum. Here is a short synopsis.
Indians love tea, they are crazy about it – and they even have a special word for it – chai.
India is one of the largest tea growers in the world. Tea is grown in the north and the south – in exotic places like Munnar in Kerala, Darjeeling, Assam, and Nilgiri Mountains. The tea gardens are a sight to see. Beautiful terraces are carved into the earth and from far they look like manicured gardens. Tea from Darjeeling and Assam is world famous for its aroma and taste.
Tea was introduced in India by the British during early 1900's, those were early days of the British Raj. Large swaths of land were converted for mass tea-production. Ironically, the British introduced tea in India to break the Chinese monopoly. Tea was originally consumed by the westernized Indians, but it became widely popular over time. Today, looking at the popularity of tea one cannot tell of its origins from China.
But the story of story of tea in India goes beyond the tea gardens in exotic mountains and valleys, covered with mist and lush greenery. Tea is woven intricately into the Indian social fabric.
Chai is the common equalizer in India – from the rich to the poor. No matter what their position in life, an Indian relishes a cup of tea. The rich ones have their tea served in fancy tea-pots, delicate porcelain cups on well laid out tables with cookies and pastries. The not-so-affluent have it in more humble settings. But the joy and satisfaction is the same.
No matter where you go in India, even the remote village, you are likely to find a tea-stall, with a Chai-walla brewing the concoction, squeezing every last flavor. There is always a crowd of eager and tired folks waiting patiently for their chai. Tea re-vitalizes your body. It is a great anti-oxidant.
India has one of the largest railway networks in the world. Every train station has tea-stalls. Hawkers carry tea-buckets doling out hot cups to weary travelers as the trains pull into the train stations. One of my enduring memories growing up in India is traveling on the train in the sleeper-coach and waking up to the lilting calls of the tea-hawkers.
There are many stories of how tea brings people together. When you visit friends – tea and snacks are probably the most common offering. A cup of tea bonds friendships and heals differences. A guest rejecting an offer of a cup of tea may even hurt their feelings. The ultimate bonding is sharing a cup of tea – between two people – albeit in different saucers. When you visit a commercial establishment, as a sign of respect for the customer, tea is offered. Read more in my cookbook.
I am delighted that my Cookbooks were displayed and showcased in the museum! Thanks Hannah Weisman! Hannah is the Director of Education at Boston Athenaeum.

Skip to comments.Pair proud they could get sodomy law thrown out (Lawrence v. Texas case anniversary)
Posted on 04/25/2004 12:05:49 AM PDT by weegee
Almost six years after police stormed his apartment and arrested him for having sex with another man, this is what John Lawrence remembers:
Harris County Sheriff's Department officers shoving him to the couch, shattering the porcelain birds that were a gift from his mother. The humiliating ride to the station, wearing only handcuffs and underwear. The fingerprinting and mugshot, the bologna sandwich he ate in jail, the jeans another inmate gave him for the ride home, the cabbie who took him, though he had no wallet to pay.
And the call to his elderly father to tell him what had happened.
"I was a little worried. I didn't know how I was going to handle this," recalled Lawrence, 60. "So I called my dad, and my dad said, `You will find a good lawyer.' "
It has been nearly a year since the U.S. Supreme Court used the case of John Lawrence and Tyron Garner to throw out the nation's remaining sodomy laws, ruling 6-3 that government should stay out of everybody's bedroom.
In an exclusive interview Friday with the Houston Chronicle, their first since the case began, Lawrence and Garner said they are proud to have helped defeat an unjust law, overwhelmed by the support they've received and so glad it's over.
"I got a sense of justice for being wronged by the state of Texas," Lawrence said as he sat with Garner in lawyer Mitchell Katine's office. "I feel I've been vindicated."
Last June's historic ruling dramatically changed the way gay and lesbian people are treated under the law. It also galvanized both sides in an ongoing national debate over whether homosexuals are entitled to the same rights as heterosexuals when it comes to employment, housing, military service, marriage and adoption.
In the past year, thousands of gay and lesbian couples, who already had been fighting for marriage rights before the Lawrence decision, have lined up outside receptive courthouses for licenses.
But their opponents in statehouses and pulpits, in the courts, on Capitol Hill and at the White House, are pushing back. President Bush has declared his support for a constitutional amendment that would preserve marriage as a strictly heterosexual right, and Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, is writing one.
Looking at his contribution to the gay rights battle, Lawrence, a medical technologist, said he has no regrets.
"Would I have done the same thing again? Yes," he said. "When somebody is wronged and they don't stand up for themselves, they're going to get wronged again. I wasn't going to stand for it."
Garner, 36, who sells barbecue from a street stand, agreed.
"It was worth it," he said.
On Sept. 17, 1998, Garner and his boyfriend, Robert Royce Eubanks, were drinking margaritas and eating dinner at a Mexican restaurant with their friend, Lawrence.
The three had spent the afternoon moving Lawrence's new furniture into his apartment and had planned to move the old stuff to Eubanks' place the next morning.
Back at the apartment after dinner, though, Eubanks and Garner argued. Eubanks left angry, saying he was going to buy a soda. Instead, he went to a pay telephone and called the police, reporting that there was a man with a gun in Lawrence's apartment.
"I think he was jealous," Garner said.
When two Harris County deputies arrived, the door to the apartment was unlocked. They walked in with Eubanks following and discovered Lawrence and Garner having sex.
Lawrence and Garner said they had no idea why they were being arrested. They spent the night in jail.
The charges stemmed from the 1973 Texas Homosexual Conduct Law, which made it a Class C misdemeanor, punishable by a maximum $500 fine, for same-gender couples to have sex, even in private.
At the time, Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri had similar laws, and nine other states -- Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Idaho and Utah -- made sodomy a crime for heterosexuals as well as homosexuals.
"I was totally dumbfounded," Lawrence said.
Eubanks was convicted and sentenced to 30 days in jail for filing a false report to a peace officer.
Garner forgave him and continued their relationship; Lawrence couldn't.
The only apology Lawrence ever received came last month from U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Houston, who approached him at a dinner where he, Garner and Katine were being honored.
"She said, `I am so very, very sorry for you having to go through this,' " Lawrence said. "I turned to Mitchell, and I said, `That's the first time I've heard that.' "
Immediately after their arrest in 1998, Lawrence and Garner returned to their lives. But Lawrence was stewing.
When Katine, a partner at Houston's Williams, Birnberg & Andersen, and the New York-based Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund offered their services for free, Lawrence decided to fight. Garner was reluctant, but he agreed.
"I didn't think we'd win," Garner said. And though his friends and family knew he was gay, he said, "I didn't enjoy being outed with my mugshot on TV. It was degrading to me."
They pleaded no contest in Harris County Criminal Court at Law and were fined $200 each. They took their case to a state appellate court, winning, then losing again. In 2002, four years after the case began, they appealed to the highest court in the land.
Lawrence, who works nights, set his alarm for 9 a.m. the day the court was expected to rule. He flipped on CNN and heard the announcement.
"I bolted out of bed and shouted, `Thank you, God!' " he said.
Katine, meanwhile, heard the news from his mother, who called from Florida. He called Garner.
"I called my brother, and we celebrated with a couple of bottles of champagne," Garner said.
By nightfall, hundreds had gathered for a rally at City Hall. Katine, who had spent years shielding his clients from the media, introduced them to the crowd. People stood in line to meet them.
Today, Lawrence and Garner remain friends and date other people. Neither were activists before their case, and they still aren't. Neither is fond of President Bush. Both support the right of gay people to marry but aren't interested themselves.
"I'm single and love it," Lawrence said.
Garner is touched by people who recognize him at the grocery store or on the street, and Lawrence loves to tell the story of two burly cops, working security outside a gay nightclub, approaching to give them a hug.
Both laugh at the idea of cashing in with a book or a TV movie deal, and they shun comparisons some have made to Jane Roe of abortion rights fame or Rosa Parks, a civil rights icon.
"I don't really want to be a hero," Garner said. "But I want to tell other gay people, `Be who you are, and don't be afraid.' "
Sept. 17, 1998
Harris County sheriff's deputies, responding to a report of an armed intruder, burst into the apartment of John Lawrence. The tip is bogus, but deputies find Lawrence having sex with Tyron Garner. The men are handcuffed, taken to jail in their underwear and charged with violating Texas' Homosexual Conduct Law. After spending the night in jail, Lawrence and Garner plead no contest and are fined $200. They appeal.

June 26, 2002
New Jersey gay couples sue for marriage rights.
Dec. 2, 2002

March 26, 2003
Harris County District Attorney Chuck Rosenthal and Paul Smith, a lawyer with a New York-based gay rights law firm, the Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund, argue the case before the Supreme Court.
May 2003
Gov. Rick Perry signs the Defense of Marriage Act, preventing Texas from recognizing same-sex marriage.
June 26, 2003 Supreme Court rules 6-3 that Texas' law violates the Constitution's privacy guarantee. The decision threw out the nation's remaining sodomy laws. Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing for the majority, says, "It is a promise of the Constitution that there is a realm of personal liberty which the government may not enter." Justice Antonin Scalia dissents and scolds his colleagues, writing, "The court has taken sides in the culture war," and predicts gay marriage will follow. Chief Justice William Rehnquist and Justice Clarence Thomas join the dissent, but Thomas writes a separate opinion, saying the law is "uncommonly silly" and if he were a member of the Texas Legislature he would vote to repeal it.
July 30, 2003
President Bush, asked his opinion of gay and lesbian people during a White House news conference, said Americans should respect gay people but draw the line at gay marriage. "I believe marriage is between a man and a woman, and I think we ought to codify that one way or the other, and we've got lawyers looking at the best way to do that."
Feb. 24, 2004
Bush announces he will back a constitutional amendment defining marriage as a right reserved strictly for heterosexuals. "The preservation of marriage rises to this level of national importance," he says.
The author writes: ruling 6-3 that government should stay out of everybody's bedroom except the government doesnt stay out of the bedroom. You cant hire a prostitute (yet you can hire a babysitter or pay someone to mow your yard). You can have sex with a woman but as soon as you pay her for the act it is a crime; so much for the actions of consenting adults.
Last June's historic ruling dramatically changed the way gay and lesbian people are treated under the law. It also galvanized both sides in an ongoing national debate over whether homosexuals are entitled to the same rights as heterosexuals when it comes to employment, housing, military service, marriage and adoption.
Remember this guy who was widely shouted down as spinning tales of fantasy?
Americans must preserve institution of marriage (Sen. Rick Santorum)
The majority of Supreme Court justices may not be willing to admit it, but everyone else seems eager to acknowledge that the greatest near-term consequence of the Lawrence v. Texas anti-sodomy ruling could be the legalization of homosexual marriage. Although the court's majority opinion attempts to distance the ruling from the marriage debate, the dissenting justices say, "Do not believe it."
At least this article discussed Robert Royce Eubanks. This is the first time that the Houston Chronicle has devoted much ink to the third homosexual in this event. Unfortunately it glosses over accounts that Mr. Eubanks was in an abusive relationship with Mr. Garner.
Men whose sodomy case led to Supreme Court ruling keep low profile(Lawrence Garner Texas)
In 2000, the former roommate of Garner who called deputies to the apartment - and was later convicted of filing a false police report - went to court to obtain a protective order against Garner, accusing him of several beatings and a sexual assault.
Garner "punched me on my left eye two times" in January 2000, said Robert Royce Eubanks in an affidavit. Garner also beat Eubanks with a hose in 1999 while "using crack and drinking" and beat him with a belt in 1998, the affidavit said.
In May 1998, Garner "stabbed me on my right ring finger with a box cutter" and "grabbed a hot iron and burned me" and "then sexually assaulted me," Eubanks charged. A temporary protective order was granted, but the case apparently was dropped after Eubanks' lawyer withdrew, saying she could not locate him for a scheduled trial.
In the end, Mr Eubanks was murdered (October 17, 2000) and the case is unsolved. It is unclear when his court date was in relation to his murder.
None of this appears in the Houston Comicals account and gives the misperception that Mr. Eubanks is still alive and that Mr. Lawrence still holds a grudge against him.
"I bolted out of bed and shouted, `Thank you, God!' " he said.
God loves sinners but does not like it when we sin. The lesson of Sodom and Gomorrah is lost on this one.
Ohhhhhh........how sweet!
That is soooooo special............
Makes me have a big lump in my throat........
(Not THAT kind of lump!)
Nice touch.

The mountain ranges of Arthur's Pass National Park have been a climbing mecca since 1891. Mt Rolleston (2275 m) near the summit of Arthur's Pass is a popular climb for novice mountaineers to cut their crampons on.
Visit the Arthur's Pass Mountaineering website for further information
Arthur's Pass was established in 1929 and was New Zealand's third national park and the first one in the South Island. Visitors to the park can see New Zealand's last stagecoach service, or explore the restored Jacks Hut, a rare surviving example of a roadman's cottage.

Take your family on a Kiwi Guardians adventure. Kiwi Guardians is a free, fun and easy way for 6-10 year olds to get to know this special place - grab a map, go and explore, and earn a reward! More about Kiwi Guardians
Arthur's Pass National Park is situated between Canterbury and the West Coast in the South Island of New Zealand.
There is a striking difference between the habitats on either side of the main divide. Mountain beech/tawhai dominates eastern slopes. To the west is mixed podocarp rainforest and red-flowering rātā, with a luxuriant understorey of shrubs, ferns and mosses. A historic highway and railway runs through the middle.
Above the bushline, snow tussock and alpine meadows can be seen quite easily on a short walk off the road, at the summit of Arthur's Pass.
Look out for the kea – alpine parrots famous for their inquisitive nature. The endangered great spotted kiwi/roroa – the 'mountaineer' of kiwi – are also found in the park along with more common forest birds like bellbirds/korimako and fantails/pīwakawaka. The open braided rivers of the Waimakariri and Poulter provide nesting grounds for birds such as wrybill/ngutu parore and black-fronted tern/tarapirohe.

Arthur's Pass National Park Management Plan
State Highway 73, the main road between Greymouth and Christchurch in the South Island, goes right through the park and the village of Arthur's Pass. Winding in places, it is one of the country's most scenic routes.
It's a two hour drive from Christchurch in the east, and about one and half hour's drive from Greymouth on the west coast. Regular bus services operate between Greymouth, Hokitika and Christchurch. The scenic Tranzalpine Express offers a daily, spectacular train journey between Christchurch and Greymouth, stopping at Arthur's Pass.
Arthur's Pass National Park is rugged and mountainous, with weather that can change rapidly with little warning. All visitors should be prepared for wet and cold conditions, even in summer.
For those planning overnight trips, there are many backcountry huts which trampers can use. The tracks are not as developed as they are in other parks and are not continuously marked. Most involve river crossings, with high rainfall causing rivers to rise quickly. Some areas are prone to avalanche risk between May and November.
Check at the DOC visitor centre for up-to-date information on weather and track conditions. Plan your trip to your ability and be prepared for sudden changes in weather
Weather for Arthur's Pass National Park
Before you go into the outdoors, tell someone your plans and leave a date to raise the alarm if you haven't returned. To do this, use the New Zealand Outdoors Intentions process on the AdventureSmart website. It is endorsed by New Zealand's search and rescue agencies and provides three simple options to tell someone you trust the details about your trip.
Arthur's Pass car break-ins: There have been reports of cars being broken into and disabled at track ends. Don't leave valuables in parked cars and consider using more public parking sites - enquire at the Arthur's Pass Visitor Centre for alternative options.
Go high up into the mountain pass that Māori first used to travel from east to west in search of pounamu/greenstone. Travel by car, train or bus, then go and see one of the horse drawn coaches that carried passengers through this rugged landscape in the 1800s - the trip was much bumpier back then!

MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- FOX6's Contact 6 has a warning for all the night owls out there! Scammers are now working nightclubs -- looking to steal money from those out having a good time.
"They would approach a young woman at a nightclub, flash a lot of cash, buy them a drink or two and they would say 'hey, we`re launching an entrepreneurial business,'" U.S. Postal Inspector Keith Moore said.
While still in the club, the scammers would offer to help these women set up their own company.
"To start my business he told me to go downtown to get a certificate for the business and then take it to him," Briana Scroggiens said.
Scroggiens was one of those women. She filled out the forms to start a business, then opened a bank account with checks supplied by the scammers.
"I deposited two checks for I think about $5,000 and I withdrew the money and gave it to the guy," Scroggiens said.
"They would basically have them deposit fraudulent checks. The checks would then be deemed fraudulent and the women would be on the hook for the money," Moore said.
Scroggiens ended up owing the bank $10,000.
"The victims were basically at a loss. Their credit was hurt. They were in debt to the financial institution for the money they lost," Moore said.
Scroggiens was one of 25 victims in this case with more than $300,000 in losses.

Please reach out if you have special occasions that you'd like music for like the Celebration of the Eucharist or Holy Hour with Exposition, Adoration and Benediction. I have been playing Holy Hours much more regularly. For the Holy Hour Devotions, I offer praise and worship music in a format that is prayerful and respectful of the majesty we are before in prayer. While some of the songs are similar to what is used by the LIFT and LIFE TEEN ministries in the Archdiocese, as a solo acoustic artist, I try and present the songs in a simple format that encourages participation.

In honor of Earth Day, we put together a list of tech tools that will help you go green by doing things like find green accommodations or help your business cut back on paper usage. Even if you haven't made the move to an all green office environment, the smallest eco-friendly changes are enough to make a major impact on the Earth. Take a look!
1. Take Eco-Friendly Trips with Green Globe
This app attempts to cover all eco-friendly bases by listing attractions, hotels, airlines, and a myriad of other resources that are green. The goal of this app is to help you find green businesses no matter where you travel. Check in with the Green Globe app every time you leave your home to reduce your carbon footprint.
2. Cut Down on Printing with Slack
This cloud-based team management tool can help cut back the amount of paper used within the average North American office (12.1 trillion sheets of paper are used in U.S. offices annually!). Slack can be used to communicate with team members, upload documents, hold conversations, and relay messages – all without using a single piece of paper.
3. Start Digitally Proofing with Awesome Screenshot
There's no need to print, scan, mock up, and return a newsletter or print graphic to a client or team member with Awesome Screenshot. This Chrome app makes it possible to edit images in the cloud and share with anyone for additional feedback.
4. Use Cloud-Based Invoicing with Freshbooks
Invoicing is made a lot simpler with Freshbooks. This tool can send out invoices on time, keep track of billing, and help any company, large or small, send and receive payments on time. Freshbooks is entirely cloud-based, so no paper or pens (or small cramped ledger books) required.
5. Eliminate Distractions with FocusWriter
Sometimes disconnecting is the only way to produce a lengthy document, but that doesn't necessarily mean going the paper route. FocusWriter lets you write undistracted by blocking any outside annoyances like Skype or other messenger services. Tabs that might be open for research purposes are hidden at the bottom of your screen as well, so you can really write distraction free. This app also includes a spellcheck option.
6. Train Online with Web-based Courses
Technology training (such as the courses that are offered through Lynda.com) taught online instead of in the classroom or office space can help to cut back on the amount of paper wasted annually. Working with companies that offer online coursework as an alternative to in-class exercises is both environmentally friendly and easily accessible. It also allows for employees to complete training exercises at their own pace.
Don't Just Go Green In the Office
Going green isn't just about reducing the amount of waste inside of the office. Doing things like putting your console in sleep mode when not in use can also contribute to a greener lifestyle. Some of the apps and programs listed above might seem foreign at first, but soon they will become hard to live without.
What are your top green tech tools?
Want to make the world a better place?

The stand out verse for me right now is 1 Samuel 3: 19:
The Lord kept Samuel's words from being useless. He was with Samuel and He caused Samuel's words to be fruitful; to accomplish His purposes.
Oh, to be like Samuel! To be so close to God, so intune with Him, so obedient, that He would let none of my words fall to the ground. I want my words -- especially those that speak of Him -- to mean something and not be just idle words that fall by the wayside. The Lord gives wisdom and understanding, and will cause my words to be meaningful and true if I am surrendered to Him. If He has First Place.

What are the standard dimensions of the SugaMat?
The SugaMat measures 72" x 25" (183cm x 64cm) and is 5mm thick. The XL SugaMat measures 74" x 26" (188cm x 66cm) and is also 5mm thick.
Thickness of a mat can be deceiving - density is a better measure of a mat's ability to provide cushioning for those high-compression asanas (like side crow/parshva bakasana or hands-free lotus headstand/mukta hasta shirshasana).
How does the SugaMat perform relative to other mats?
The SugaMat has undergone significant R&D and beta-testing prior to being unleashed on yogis worldwide. Although our mats are made from recycled wetsuits, they perform better than any mat on the market. We have built them to specific tolerances of density, tackiness (both wet and dry), elasticity, durability, and liquid permeability and retention. We are confident that you'll dig every asana on your SugaMat.
Why does the SugaMat only come in black/charcoal?
Well, mostly because wetsuits are predominantly black. BUT, exciting news - we have developed colored mats! Stay tuned for release and please let us know what colors you would be interested in.
How do I clean my SugaMat?
Just hose it down (the shower works well!) and let the mats antimicrobial magic work. You can also use a mild homemade cleaner (we recommend water-diluted vinegar, with a little lavender & tea-tree oil), then rinse.
How much is shipping?
If you live in the United States, shipping is $9. If you live in Canada or Mexico, shipping will take a little longer and cost around USD $16. For our EU and UK friends, shipping costs USD $65 (but we're working on local distribution).
Do you offer a warranty?
In the extremely unlikely event that your SugaMat misbehaves during the first 30 days of regular yoga practice, let us know! We are happy to replace it for you. However, if your dog eats your SugaMat, you're on your own (that said, we'll recycle any leftovers - send 'em back clean and we'll happily give you 10% off a future Suga purchase).
What's the SugaMat C2G all about?
The SugaMat C2G (Cradle to Grave) is the same mat as the SugaMat but you're buying a mat for life. By purchasing a SugaMat C2G, if your mat ever wears out, just send it back and we'll send you a brand new one at our expense, no questions asked. With SugaMat C2G you're basically purchasing a service rather than a product.
What is the SugaKoozie and how does it work?
If you need to ask this question go lay down in shavasana for a while. The SugaKoozie is to put your post-surf or post-yoga cold beverage in to keep it cold longer. You could do the same for hot tea to keep it warm. However, Suga recommends using the SugaKoozie for locally produced craft beer (just make sure you recycle that can or bottle).
How do you pronounce Suga anyway?
Sü∙ga > /su'gǝ/ > Suu-gah (rhymes with beluga)
How do I recycle my old wetsuits?
Check out our recycling page for drop-off locations or mailing info.

Rights Respecting Award
What is the Rights Respecting Schools award?
At Abbott we are working towards achieving Unicef's Rights Respecting Schools Award. The Right Respecting Schools Award recognises that the UNCRC (United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child) is at the heart of everything that a school does. The award is based on principles of equality, dignity, respect, non-discrimination and participation and at Abbott we have adopted these values to underpin our school values and ethos. Throughout the year we will be promoting these values through our everyday teaching, assemblies and various events, so please stay posted! We are looking forward to you joining us on our Rights Respecting journey.
Recognition of Commitment
Abbott is working towards the first part of the Rights Respecting Schools award from Unicef; the Recognition of Commitment (ROC). We will show that, as a school, we have a plan in place to become Rights Respecting and that children and adults are developing a whole school Rights Respecting approach. Please keep up to date with our Rights Respecting news on the school website as we work towards this with our Rights Respecting steering group!
Our Rights Respecting steering group
At Abbott, we have ambassadors who work hard to help others in the school learn all about the important work of Unicef and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Our ambassadors are selected from Years 3, 4, 5 & 6 and over the course of the year will be participating in Rights Respecting assemblies and raising awareness of UNICEF.

by Dr. Walt Brown. Copyright © Center for Scientific Creation. All rights reserved.
Click here to order the hardbound 8th edition (2008) and other materials.
Accelerating Expansion. The redshift of distant starlight shows an expansion. Just as a ball thrown upward must slow (decelerate) as it moves away from the Earth, a big bang would have produced only a decelerating expansion, after the 10-32 second inflationary burst ended and the universe was the size of a basketball. But, in 1998 it was discovered that distant galaxies were accelerating away from us. Saying, without any experimental evidence or physical details, that "dark energy" produced this acceleration is simply a reflection of ignorance. [See "Dark Thoughts" on page 36.]
Stretching, completed during the creation week (not in 10-32 of a second after time began), ended with a universe nearly the size of our present universe—not a universe the size of a basketball. We should not be surprised that we can detect distant accelerations produced during that stretching.
Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). The CMB is often given as evidence for the big bang theory. Actually, the absence of gravitational waves in the CMB, argues against the big bang and is evidence for the sudden creation of matter within a much smaller universe that was stretched out on Day 4. [For details, Figure 223 and pages 469–471.]

PH Levels
The pH scale was first developed in 1909 by the scientist Soren Peder Lauritz Sorensen. The system allows us to compare our body chemistry to the chemical makeup of our environment. In order to comprehend hair chemistry, it is important to first understand the pH scale and how it relates to our bodies. The pH scale is a measure of the amount of hydrogen ions that are found in a substance. The scale ranges from 1-14, which 7 being a neutral substance, such as pure water, and the two chemical extremes being either acidic (0 – 6.9) or alkaline (7.1-14).
Healthy curly hair should have a pH balance of approximately 4.5 – 5.5, making it slightly acidic. There are many factors that can negatively affect the pH balance of your hair, such as using chemical relaxers, harsh shampoos and styling products and thermal styling aides like flat irons. When hair is properly pH balanced, the cuticle remains closed which means it does not frizz. It also increases the shine and strength of your hair. However, a higher pH balance will raise the cuticle, causing tangles, dullness and frizz. The raised cuticle will also expose the cortex of the hair shaft, making hair much more susceptible to damage.
Learning to keep the hair cuticle closed will make an enormous difference in your hair's strength and appearance. By nature, curly hair cuticles tend to remain in an open state, as the spiral pattern of a curl makes it extremely difficult for the cuticles to lie flat. Since these open cuticles are what cause frizzy hair, it is particularly important for curly heads to be aware of the pH levels of the products they use. The first step in creating and maintaining healthy hair is balancing the pH levels by using products with a low pH balance to restore the hair's ideal balance. Curly Hair Solutions™ products are formulated specifically for curly hair, as they are designed to correct mild to severe frizzy conditions. All of our conditioners have a pH balance of 3.5-4, and our shampoos all have a pH balance of 4.5 – 5.5.

I also have heartburn/gerd every day since on Xarelto. I finally have an appointment with a specialist since it can't be healthy to have getd all day for weeks! Sometimes it gets so bad I can't breath :( I have been eating chicken and quinoa for 2 weeks now and even that gives me heartburn sometimes! They suggest to eat small meals every 2 hours! Did you try that yet?

KUALA LUMPUR: There's no urgency to set a gold medal target for the Malaysian contingent at next month's SEA Games in Singapore.
Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said that he would announce it at the right time.
Chef de mission Datuk Norza Zakaria had revealed last week that the Malaysian contingent was looking at returning with 50 gold medals – more or less.
"We have yet to come up with the final target," Khairy said after chairing the Malaysia Games (Sukma) Supreme Committee meeting.
Prior to Norza's unofficial projection, no gold medal targets were set for the athletes.
Khairy also pointed out that the contingent's performance should not be judged solely on the number of gold medals won but "on the total medal haul and the performance of our young athletes".
The Sports Minister also announced that Perak and Johor have been handed the job of hosting the 2018 and 2020 Sukma.
Johor last hosted the Sukma in 1992 while Perak held it in 1994.
It was confirmed that 24 sports, of which 19 are compulsory, will be contested at the Sarawak Sukma from July 22-31 next year.
The compulsory sports are aquatics (swimming and diving), weightlifting, badminton, cycling (road), football, gymnastics (artistic and rhythmic), hockey (men's and women's), karate, lawn bowls, archery, shooting, athletics, silat, sailing, sepak takraw, squash, taekwondo, tenpin bowling and wushu.
The five optional sports are volleyball, petanque, tennis, golf and boxing.
Most of the events will be held in Kuching, with badminton and volleyball in Sibu and sailing and karate in Miri.

Apple will launch a 15-in. MacBook Air in the first quarter of 2012, according to a report from a Taiwanese publication that cited unnamed sources in the component supply channel.
A larger MacBook Air — Apple currently sells 11.6-in. and 13.3-in. Airs — makes sense, analysts said this week, noting that the company will face competition from new "ultrabooks" next year sold by, among others, Hewlett-Packard (HP).
HP is set to start selling its first ultrabook, the name given by Intel to lightweight, thin laptops that will compete with the MacBook Air, on 7 December. The HP Folio, which will sport a 13.3-in. display, will sell at prices starting at $1199.
"I don't have confirmation on a 15-in. MacBook Air, but logically thinking, it does make sense," said Brian Marshall, an analyst with International Strategy and Investment Group (ISI).
Marshall cited the impending debut of HP's Folio — and the follow-on systems that others will release in early 2012 — as one reason why Apple would want to extend the Air lineup.
Taiwan-based DigitTimes claimed that supplier sources hinted Apple will ship a 15-in. MacBook Air in the first three months of 2012.
"The sources noted that related upstream players have already started pilot production of the MacBook Air models and will add a 15-inch model into the product line to expand its reach in the ultra-thin notebook market," said the newspaper.
DigiTimes also said that the same sources maintained that Apple will reduce the price of its existing MacBook Air line to prepare for a refresh next year that would presumably include Intel's newest CPUs from its Ivy Bridge architecture.
Those processors, Intel said in September, will double battery life compared to the current Core chips that power the Air line, combine the CPU with the graphics processor, and provide a performance boost to boot.
Some online retailers aggressively cut prices of the MacBook Air on Black Friday, a possible sign that DigiTimes is on the right track.
Ezra Gottheil, an analyst with Technology Business Research, also thinks a 15-in. MacBook Air is a sure bet.
"The Air's popularity is driven in part by the iPad," argued Gottheil, taking a different tack than Marshall. "Interest in the Air is not just in thin and light, but like tablets, in instant on, portability and longer battery life."
Other factors that make an expanded MacBook Air roster not only smart but inevitable, said Gottheil, is the jump in hard drive prices, which have skyrocketed because of flooding in Thailand, where nearly half the world's hard disk drives are manufactured.
Some small PC makers have had to raise prices as much as 20% to account for the increase in hard drive costs.
Apple is in a good position to shift sales to notebooks based on SSD, or solid-state drives, because it locks in supplies of the flash memory used in SSDs by pre-paying billions to chip makers, said Gottheil. "Apple will definitely do a 15-in. MacBook Air," he said.
If Apple does expand the MacBook Air to a 15-in. model, neither Marshall or Gottheil expect the company to dump the MacBook Pro line, which comes in 13-in., 15-in. and 17-in. screen configurations.
"Personally, I don't think of the MacBook Pro as really portable, but more of a desktop replacement," said Marshall, who added that the audience for the Air and Pro lines are different enough that Apple will retain the latter.
"They'll sell them until the market says, 'No, thank you.' Apple has shown quite a bit of loyalty to their big machine fans," said Gottheil, pointing to the retention of the poor-selling Mac Pro desktop.
Apple's emphasis on online delivery of software — in July, it launched Mac OS X 10.7, aka Lion, as an online-only upgrade — also points to more emphasis on the Air, which shuns an optical drive.
"The optical drive is a thing of the past," said Gottheil. "[In computers], they're now used almost exclusively for playing CDs and DVDs."
Apple currently prices the MacBook Air starting at $1099 for the 11-in. model and $1449 for the 13-in. notebook. The least-expensive 15-in. MacBook Pro lists for $1399.
The company last refreshed the MacBook Air in July 2011.

Peter V. Lee, the executive director of Covered California, is offering a heavenly response to those criticizing the implementation of Obamacare; he says Covered California is "answering prayers." Lee states:
The staff breathed passion for helping get people coverage and compassion for the difficulties faced by so many Californians. When one of the staff noted that a caller of his had broken down in tears of gratitude and appreciation for their no longer having to live in fear – many around the room nodded in agreement. I asked – "how many of you have also had callers break down in tears of relief?" The response was almost half of the room. These men and women aren't just answering calls, in many ways they're answering prayers.
Lee quotes a Kaiser Family Foundation survey that stated that in the past year nearly one million Californians used up all – or most – of their life savings because of uninsured medical bills. Now, he tells us, "We can end the inequality and inhumanity that hits millions of Americans if we work together. Together we can make access to quality health care happen. Together we can make health care available to everyone, because for the first time in American health care history, it is a right and not a privilege."
Access to quality health care? According to a Quinnipiac survey from last week, 43% of Americans think their quality of health care will decrease as a result of ObamaCare, while only 19% think it will improve. Not coincidentally, the same poll found that for the first time, a majority of Americans (52%) believe Barack Obama is not honest or trustworthy.
Lee may believe that Obamacare is a heaven-sent answer to Americans' prayers, but for many Americans who have lost coverage, it's more likely origination is from somewhere much warmer than that.

[AFM '12] Announcements: 'Dracula: The Dark Prince' Targets 'Twilight' Fans, Empress Road Pictures Announces Genre Slate
Screen Daily reports that Steven Paul has wrapped production on Dracula: The Dark Prince, one of 10 features he has committed to producing in the next 12 months through his group of companies SP Entertainment Group, Crystal Edge and Crystal Sky (who had originally been behind Castlevania). The vampire project shot in Romania and stars Luke Roberts, Kelly Wenham and Jon Voight as Van Helsing. Pearry Teo (Dead Inside, Necromentia) directs from a screenplay he co-wrote with Nicole Jones. "It's a film that will appeal to the legion of Twilight fans around the world," said Paul, making my stomach churn. "Our Dracula is a young, good-looking hero who is betrayed by those closest to him and exacts his revenge on a grand scale."
Empress Road Pictures has unveiled a slate of horror titles, building on last year's success with Elevator. Screen Daily reports that the LA-based firm is selling worldwide rights here to Dose of Reality, starring Fairuza Balk. "2AM, closing time: A cocky bar manager with a shady past and a young handsome bartender discover a beautiful woman bloodied and unconscious in the bathroom of a late night lounge. When she awakens, Tony, Matt and the mysterious Rose are plunged into a stirring evening of dangerous role playing in an ever-escalating game of cat and mouse that forces them to face the dark shadows of themselves. As we begin to piece together the elaborate puzzle, nothing is what it seems. However, one thing is for certain: this Rose is full of thorns." Trailer inside, more at the official website.
They've also revealed JMR Luna's found footage horror Stripped (pictured), "Five friends head to Vegas for a 21st birthday in hopes of finding adventure, debauchery and memories that will last them a lifetime." Trailer inside, more at the official website.
It also has worldwide rights, excluding North America, to voyeurism thriller Gut and road trip horror Killer Holiday.
In Killer Holiday, "Taylor, a former juvenile delinquent, convinces straight-'A' student, Cammi to join her and her friends on a Spring Break road trip through the California desert. Ignoring evil premonitions from Cammi, the 8 friends party heavily as they get farther and farther away from civilization along old Route 66 with a killer in pursuit. Anxiety builds as each stop along the way proves stranger and stranger until the group is lured to an abandoned amusement park with a mysterious past far off the main highway. There the group discovers that the park comes complete with broken down vintage carnival rides, shocking surprises, the smell of death, and an enticing, young tattooed serial killer named Spider."

Digging to China In the dim that infests a single twin room, resting like a cavity, dead center, in an end of the road motel, the darkest of dreams will visit one's mind. Even when they one is wakeful, or leastwise fitfully unable to sleep. When rest eludes the body the mind traverses plains unknown to all but psychotropic enthusiasts and romantic poets. Humanity likes to imagine that a man living in destitution does so alone. Each cavern a pre-emptive tomb for an unknown soldier in the war against capitalism. No one is ever alone though. If one is not indulging in vacation provided by acid, the other inhabitants, the bugs crawling over one's skin, must be real. It is enough to make one fantasize. It is said that every man has at least one homo-erotic fantasy in their life. Mine was high tech. A robot penis. I imagine it would be hard, cold, and taste slightly oily. Such a creation would ejaculate a super hero. I contemplated giving my first and last blow job and the force of the machine's pleasure driving my thinking machine out of its case. A short step from deviant lover, to abstract artist. The robot in my dreams would paint the wall in red and gray. Crafting an image a psychiatrist could use to diagnose madmen. Wiping the insects from my flesh I knew a change of location was necessary. Thus did I go from nearly dead to wandering vagrant. A dumpster, a cardboard box, an abandoned tent. Any one of them would do, sleeping under the stars would do good for my soul after so long in confinement. Then I saw it. A Victorian treasure stood before my eyes. A for sale sign out front gave me hope. Not to purchase it, no. Men like me, those unemployed and lost to society, did not own homes. Instead I meandered to the convenience store and borrowed their phone. No offers were as yet on the table, and no showings for at least two weeks. The asking price was high enough to make a millionaire blush. I would be able to squat in this home for months, if I was lucky. If I was very careful. My possessions were sparse to say the least. I laid out my winter clothes, the mud stained item I would don, over the urine stained items I currently wore, when it grew cold. I laid out the faded blue piece of foam that served as my bed. As i prepared to lie down I looked at the wall. Amidst the beautiful paper was a stain. I recognized the type. It was much as the mark left by sweat from a desperate man will imprint on a threadbare mattress when one foregoes sheets to save on water. Peeling back that paper I found a hole that echoed the ache in my heart and lack in my soul. The dark cavern was filled with a corpse I recognized. How could I not? One is bound to know one's own face. I drew back in horror, thinking of who to blame. I wanted to lay this at the feet of jack-booted government thugs. The wished to blame it on the indifference of corporate fat-cats. I knew though. I knew it was me. I left this corpse here when I gave up and gave in. In the homes of the hearts of every man over twenty-five there was a sacrifice like this. Laying discarded, waiting to be found. I knew this must be disposed of. Nobody must ever see what I had done to myself. I thought of what those heroes on television would do. Retrieving the plastic utensils I kept for the rare occasion that a man of mercy provided me food I began to consume the remnants of the evidence of my crimes. http://patrickelliottwrites.blogspot.com/2016/06/digging-to-china.html @ellowrites

Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Lay the oysters on a bed of sea or rock salt on a sheet/baking tray. In a saute pan, melt butter on high heat and saute leeks until soft, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season. Deglaze with ponzu and reduce by 50 percent. Check again for seasoning. Remove from pan and let cool. Fill a small saucepan half way with water and bring to a boil. Place yolks in a small stainless bowl that will fit on top of the sauce pan (bain marie set up). Whisk the yolks and 1 teaspoon of ponzu over the hot water. Be careful not to overcook the yolks by removing the bowl periodically from the heat. Continue whisking until ribbons are formed in the yolks following the whisk. Season and check for flavor. Remove form heat and fold in the cooled leeks. Cool to room temperature. Top each oyster with the leek sabayon and place in oven and immediately switch the setting to broil. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes or until top is brown and bubbly.
PLATING: Serve on a decorative plate lined with cold sea/rock salt.
BEVERAGE Blanc de Blanc Champagne
In small sauce pan, very lightly coat with oil and saute the shallots, kaffir and ginger until fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce by 30 percent then transfer to a small bowl and refrigerate until cold. (It is recommended to do this a day ahead of time for deeper infusion.) Strain the mixture. In a food processor, add the salmon and cream and puree until very smooth. Season with black pepper only and check for seasoning. (Smoked salmon is usually very salty.) Transfer to a small bowl and fold in the zest, juice and chives. Transfer into medium ramekins and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 to 3 hours.
PLATING: Serve the ramekins on plates surrounded by the pita chips. Garnish with chives.

Not many people can imagine the pain that Louisville player Kevin Ware was in after suffering a horrifying injury, breaking his leg on Sunday during the Cardinals' 85-63 win over Duke to advance to the Final Four.
But another former athlete who had an almost identical injury, former Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann, called Ware on Sunday to see how he was doing.
Theismann broke his leg after being sacked by Giants linebackers Lawrence Taylor and Harry Carson in 1985, which many people saw as it was on "Monday Night Football." The injury was so bad that it was voted the "Most Shocking Moment in NFL History" by an ESPN poll.
Ware, who landed awkwardly on his right leg after jumping to contest a shot, had to be removed on a stretcher and taken to a Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis where he spent the night after having surgery. Coach Rick Pitino and other Louisville coaching and staff members spent the night at the hospital, presenting Ware with the Midwest Regional Championship trophy.
"He was real excited about (the trophy)," Pitino said on a conference call "I said to him, `You want me to bring it back or stay with you?' He said, `It's staying with me.' I said, `All right, just make sure you don't lose it.'"
A Bronx native, Ware went to high school in Atlanta, where his Cardinals will play Saturday in the Final Four and hope to win the Championship for their injured teammate. He was walking on crutches Monday, and also received many well wishes via phone and Twitter, including Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, who called Pitino on Monday to ask about Ware.

Grey Healthcare Group invests in OptimizeRx
WPP's Grey Healthcare Group acquired a minority interest in OptimizeRx, which markets electronic trial vouchers and copay coupon cards that can be accessed through an EHR, for $4.7 million in stock, according to financial filings.
The deal builds on a partnership formed by the two companies in January 2014. At the time, the companies said they planned to jointly market new and existing products and services to pharmaceutical companies.
Ghg's decision to make a financial investment in the company highlights the growing interest among pharma marketers to engage physicians through EHR platforms. As part of the partnership, Grey and OptimizeRx have trained sales representatives about EHR sales opportunities through ePrescribe Training, according to OptimizeRx's most recent financial filings. Grey has also rebranded the company's promotional marketing, including brochures, presentations and digital media.
OptimizeRx announced in August that it has expanded its work with Allscripts' EHR platform. It has also partnered with TrialCard and PracticeFusion.
One of the most significant changes underway in healthcare right now is the growing and more sophisticated utilization of EHRs. Physicians on average spend 2.8 hours per day using an EHR, according to Decision Resources Group. As a result, pharmaceutical companies are increasingly viewing the platforms as a new way for their sales forces and marketers to engage with physicians and promote financial assistance, clinical decision-making and other types of support.
"Now pharma companies are recognizing, 'If I'm going to engage with physicians, I need to figure out their new workflow,'" said Lynn O'Connor Vos, Ghg's CEO. "It's a very important channel."
Ghg and OptimizeRx said they plan to build a tool that will provide services at the point-of-care. O'Connor Vos said they also plan to expand the EHR network into specialty drugs, including oncology.
OptimizeRx added that it will use the proceeds from the purchase for working capital and other business-related expenses. It also named O'Connor Vos a member of its board of directors.
The company reported $1.7 million in revenue in the first quarter of 2015, up from $1.4 million in the year-ago period, and a net loss of $157,000.

Here's what you can expect when the new parade starts rolling down the Magic Kingdom parade route in March, with float descriptions from Disney's press release.
The Princess Garden – This pageantry of princesses celebrates Disney royalty. Cinderella, Tiana and Belle accompanied by their respective princes, ride in a garden of topiaries with woodland creatures, birds and more. Cinderella's dress playfully twirls like a turntable, while Swan Court couples lead the 50-foot-long majestic float, capped off with a special appearance by Anna and Elsa from Disney's hit animated feature, "Frozen."
Tangled – A massive long ship on the high seas showcases Flynn Rider and Rapunzel in search of adventure and another Best. Day. Ever! Rapunzel's iconic tresses weave throughout this 36-foot-long float decked out with swaying pendulums carrying dastardly thugs.
Little Mermaid – Ariel and her friends sit atop a colorfully kinetic seashell music box that boasts an enchanting musical jubilee. There's no shortage of whimsy on this Under the Sea float with conga dancing fish kicking up their fins and bubbles galore. Shimmering fabrics and intricately designed costumes for the Lion Fish, Coral Fish, Seashell and Sea Horse performers are runway-inspired.
Peter Pan – Straight from Never Land come Peter Pan and Wendy soaring high aboard the famous Jolly Roger pirate ship complete with smoke effects and special surprises. A rainbow arch shines over Skull Rock and Tinker Bell nestled among giant flowers, while Captain Hook takes center stage on a swinging anchor. "Newsies-inspired" Lost Boys kick up their heels to high-energy choreography.
Brave – Celtic couples and a vessel shaped like an enormous bagpipe announce the arrival of Merida perched high on her majestic crown. Scottish dancers step to melodies of the Great Highlands in celebration of the popular Disney*Pixar film, "Brave."
Sleeping Beauty – The heroic Prince Phillip battles a Steampunk-inspired Dragon as the wicked Maleficent. This float stretches 53 feet in length and 26 feet tall with a prickly spinning wheel dead center of the float. With fiery eyes and glowing effects the spectacular dragon was built on an articulating chassis allowing the float to bend and flex as it moves along the parade route – a first for Disney parades. This float was designed in a partnership with Tony Award-winner Michael Curry. There's Prince Phillip, thorn-inspired stilt performers, dramatic raven dancers, plus the three good fairies, Flora, Fauna and Merryweather glide along the parade route.
Finale and Mickey's Airship – The parade culminates with a 90-foot-long magical caravan of characters featuring Pinocchio, Dumbo, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the Mad Hatter, Pluto and more in a splashy carnival of color. There's Pegasus horses, dancing hippos and sassy Bubble Girls with cotton-candy-like hair celebrating Storybook Circus in New Fantasyland. Sporting zany new costumes Mickey and Minnie Mouse sit sky high in Mickey's Airship — a giant hot air balloon that rounds out Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade.
Disney used 3D printing to create some of the unique costume pieces from the parade, bringing to life designs by Mirena Rada, who has created costumes for the Disneyland Resort, Tokyo Disney Resort and Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, in addition to this production now for Walt Disney World.
Again, the parade will debut sometime next month, though Disney's not yet announced a specific date.Tweet
From the floats I've seen there is not a lot of space for actual live characters on there.

Article VI, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution, known as the Supremacy Clause, establishes the U.S. Constitution, federal statutes, and U.S. Treaties as "the supreme law of the land." The text provides that these are the highest form of law in the U.S. legal system, and mandates that all state judges must follow federal law when a conflict arises between federal law and either the state constitution or state law of any state.
The "supremacy clause" is the most important guarantor of national union. It assures that the Constitution and federal laws and treaties take precedence over state law and binds all judges to adhere to that principle in their courts. - United States Senate[1]
Since admiralty courts, however, are courts of limited jurisdiction (which does not extend to nonmaritime matters), 28 USC § 1333(1),

If we were, then we wouldn't be in the situation we are in. Go to court and ask if the jurisdiction is under common law, things don't line up. The codes aren't congruous with common law, aka law of the land. So I submit that we are not. At some point, Maritime law was enacted. Obviously I can point you to links and you can point me to links, but here's the issue: Why are things the way they are if we are under common law?
Your quote, I want nothing more than that. But that's not what we have! If we did, none of this would even be under discussion. There would be no reason to have the UCC with its codes and statutes that has enslaved us, for one.

Let's go over this again, when you came down your mother's birth canal you came out of her water, making YOU a maritime admiralty PRODUCT. That is right you became a PRODUCT of commerce at the time of your birth. Your mother also needs to sign your birth certificate. If you notice on your birth certificate where your mother signed, she is not listed as parent, nor is she listed as mother. Where your mother signed your birth certificate she is known as informant!

That's how it SHOULD be I agree, but the statues and codes do not line up with common law, law of the land.
Oh man, this must be where all of this went horribly, horribly wrong. I thought all of you understood the likes of Jordon Maxwell and the Rosicurian info, huge info dumps like this one www.barefootsworld.net... etc etc.
Yep, without understanding that, I can see how all this went bad.

No what has gone apparently wrong is your inability to understand that Common Law is NOT the law of the land in the United States
CONSTITUTIONAL LAW Trumps ALL OTHER
Sorry but no manner of hype from anyone can change that..

Also this guy explains a lot of this crap www.youtube.com...
Before Wilson arrived, the suspect, Foust, had fled the area. While the officer was talking with the female victim, Foust returned and engaged in a heated argument with the woman. According to the sheriff's office, Foust was "upset, loud and confrontational with the officer." Wilson and Foust went outside the business and were soon involved in a physical altercation. Foust, according to the sheriff's office, attempted to gain control of the officer's Taser. "The officer discharged his service weapon, striking Foust," stated a press release issued by the sheriff's office.

Today, I'm excited to share a special story about my 3 year old niece, Chloe. Earlier this year Chloe was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes also known as Juvenile Diabetes. Multiple times a day, she has to have her finger pricked to check her blood sugar and receive shots of insulin.
Chloe is so brave! She takes her shots and finger pricks like a champ!
Even at such a young age, she knows about her condition. In fact, when she went trick-or-treating this year, a woman handed her M&M's, and Chloe told her, "Um, I can't have that because of my blood sugar!" 🙂
My sister-in-law Hannah reads the nutrition labels on everything to figure out how many carbs Chloe is eating and then determines how much insulin is needed. It is a lot of work and number crunching. She never gets a day or meal off. At first it was A LOT to take in and figure out, but Hannah was determined to learn everything she could. Chloe's life depends on it.
Luke 1:37 "For with God nothing shall be impossible."
Chloe has had a few close calls at church when the children's workers have given her sugary treats even though she wears a bright yellow sticker and a plastic bracelet informing the caregivers of her diabetes! Putting her in environments where she could potentially get too much sugar can be scary.
Isaiah 26:4 "Trust ye in the Lord forever. For in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength."
|Chloe at church on Pirate Day, wearing her medical alert bracelet and a bright yellow sticker
As a parent, Hannah will do anything for her daughter. One day at church, the children were having snow cones, and Chloe was going to be completely left out of the activity. Instead, Hannah bought a Diet Coke and told the children's workers to pour the diet coke over the snow cone so that Chloe could have the treat too! It is amazing what Mommas think of for their kids!
November is Diabetes Awareness Month, and I am proud to share about my brave niece. This disease is something that she will have to deal with for the rest of her life. It was nothing that she ate or did to bring it on. It was simply the way God deigned her. Hannah has had a few people say hurtful things like, "What did you feed her?!" or " I thought only old people got that."
Truthfully, I did not know much about the disease either. I hope this post has given you some more information about Type 1 Diabetes and encouraged parents who have children with this disease.
If you work with children who have type 1 diabetes, here are some helpful tips.
Have an alternative to candy. Often good behavior is rewarded with candy or a sweet treat, but it is good to have an alternative such as stickers, pencils, erasers, ect.
Be conscience of any medical alerts. If you see a child with a medical bracelet or a medical alert sticker, read it BEFORE giving them anything to eat. Those alerts are meant to remind the caregivers and save lives.
Talk to the parents. If you are not sure whether or not the child can eat something, always ask the parents. Also if there is a special event that the child may not be able to participate in, let the parents know ahead of time so that they can be prepared.
Get proper training. If you work with children with diabetes on a regular basis, it is important to be informed and know what to do if the child has a blood sugar spike.
Are you or a loved one affected by Type 1 Diabetes? I'd loved to hear your additional thoughts!

Much to the disdain of marketers, images are sometimes blocked by default in email clients. How to deal? Enter alt text.
Alt text simply means alternative text displayed with an image. Think of it as the backup text that provides some context about what your image is, for those that have images blocked or turned off by default.
Another important reason alt text is used is for visually impaired subscribers that may use a screen reader to get a description of images in an email.
Aside from the obvious reason of accessibility, alt text is an opportunity. While you should be encouraging your subscribers to whitelist your emails, it's still important to provide context for images given all email clients—webmail and desktop—have the ability to disable or enable images by default.
As you can see from this example of the Campaign Monitor newsletter, when images are blocked, subscribers see what looks like a broken image, or a red "X". In this case, we've used alt text to indicate that there is an image and provided a little context about what the image is to encourage subscribers to enable images in the email.
Adding alt text in Campaign Monitor is super quick and easy.
Click done editing and you are good to go!
Using alt text is a simple and quick way to provide context for images in your emails in the event they are blocked by email clients. Check out our guide about image blocking for more details.
