No. 10 Washington (Mo.) edges No. 24 Brandeis to advance in UAA tourney
ITAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. -- Junior Corinne Rauck earned a 6-0 win in the third set of her match at No. 6 singles to seal a 5-4 victory for No. 10 Washington (Mo.) against No. 24 Brandeis in the quarterfinal of the University Athletic Association Championship on Thursday.
After dropping the No. 1 and No. 3 doubles matches, the Bears were on the brink of going down 0-3 after doubles.
The No. 2 team from Brandeis was serving leading 7-6, but junior Theresa Petraskova and freshman Jamie Silverberg rallied for the 9-7 win to make it 2-1 in favor of the Judges heading to singles.
Washington took a 4-2 lead with wins at No. 3, 4 and 5 by senior Kate Klein, freshman Aly Coran and senior Paige Madara. Brandeis got a win at No. 1 singles and battled back to win in three sets at No. 2 to make it 4-4, before Rauck secured the win for the Bears with her three-set victory at No. 6.

text: I now realise my mistake, you are very correct. Am begining to come to my senses. Initialy whenever the word radi is mentioned, what comes to my mind is nothing but atomic radi. I never knew there are diffrences. I used to think that ionic, vandawal, atomic and convalent and metallic radi are all the same. But in this thread am discussing atomic radi. All the same, I say thank you for the awareness. I now accept that atomic radi decreases left to right across a period thus the nobles gases being at the extrem right of each row should have the smallest atomic radi. Thanks am now cleared.

I typically don't link to stories that are so macro-economic and afield from commercial real estate, but the headline says it all. Wow.
Three-month bill rates may be the lowest since April 1934, when they declined to 0.15 percent, based on monthly figures on the Fed Board of Governors' Web site. Daily figures go back as far as 1954.
Reserve Primary Fund, the oldest U.S. money-market fund, yesterday became the first in 14 years to expose investors to losses after writing off $785 million of debt issued by Lehman.
Shareholders pulled more than 60 percent of the fund's $64.8 billion in assets in the two days since Lehman folded. Losses on the securities firm's debt forced the fund to break the buck, meaning its net asset value fell below the $1 a share price paid by investors.
"The panic going round the money market world is what they've been investing in is not as safe as they thought it would be,'' said Dominic Konstam, the head of interest-rate strategy in New York at Credit Suisse Securities USA LLC, another primary dealer. "If the banks don't want to lend to each other they don't want to lend to the banks. That means where else are they going to put their money -- they're going to put it in T-bills for safety.''

As I mentioned briefly at the end of my last post (and I know that you are hanging, trembling, from my every word, dearest reader), I've recently landed a new job. I love the work, but the commute has thrown my cooking (and reading and running and writing and everything else) schedule into a bit of a tailspin. As I struggle to regain my equilibrium and accustom myself to my new work schedule, I hope you will hang with me as my posts slow down a bit. Not only have I not had as much time to write of late, but I also haven't had as much time and energy to cook meals worthy of blogging about. Experimental cooking and baking require a certain amount of space and time to percolate, to develop, to be born into the world. In other words, to be a food blogger or a novelist, as a famous lady once said, requires a living wage and a room of one's own. I'm only making part of that up. And before I have you thinking that my situation is one of utter scarcity, I should mention that I recently made a really slamming lentil soup with whole wheat biscuits, but neglected to photocopy it before it was all gone--or, really, disappeared down C's voracious and extremely charming gullet. I've already threatened to make it again and blog about it, this time making sure to capture the necessary photographs. One can't blog about a new recipe without also posting pics, can one? Is this yet another instance of an area in my life where I am imposing artificial and unnecessary restrictions? I'm awesome at that.
For today, though, I have something a bit different. As I mentioned, C and I are living a bit in extremis right now. I'm swamped with work and driving, but so is he. In addition to all the usual nervous-making business, he's sickish. This magical combination of circumstances led to him slumping over his laptop all day, mostly suffering silently through lesson plans and job letters. When we got around to discussing what to have for dinner, as we do especially when I'm uninspired, C murmured--somewhat incoherently--about how much his sicky stomach wanted macaroni and cheese. As I've mentioned before, we aren't usually pasta people, but we are human; we can get down with some mac n cheese from time to time. Also, I've posted mac n cheese recipes before, most notably my sister's recipe, but the one I made tonight is a little simpler and a lot lazier. This one isn't bad for an evening when you're short on time and ingredients but long on the desire for comfort food.
Distracted Mac n Cheez
1 pkg (9oz) whole wheat pasta (I used fusilli--personal preference)
4 T earth balance
1/2 c garbanzo bean flour
1 T dried mustard powder
2 c non-dairy milk (I used unsweetened almond)
1 T marjoram
1 T whole black peppercorns
2 t salt
1 block Follow Your Heart cheddar vegan cheese--grated
1 pkg vegan lunch meat, chopped--I used turkey style
1 1/2 c frozen peas
Preheat oven to 350. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add pasta. Set a timer for 12 minutes, so you don't need to worry about keeping track of time. When the 12 minutes are up and your pasta is delightfully al dente, remove from heat and drain well. Set aside. While the pasta is cooking, make your cheezy sauce. In a medium saucepan, melt margarine. Add garbanzo bean flour and cook 2-3 minutes over medium heat until fragrant and bubbly. Add mustard powder and stir well. Slowly stir in non-dairy milk and bring to a simmer. Add peppercorns, salt, and marjoram, then cook until thick and bubbly. Remove from heat and stir in lunch meat and peas.
Lightly oil a large casserole dish. Add pasta. Grate half of cheese over pasta, add all of sauce, and stir to combine. Top with remaining cheese. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. If this was Cafe Gratitude, I would make you utter the following affirmation before I let you eat it: I Am Comforted.

What also made me sad, is as we left our hotel on foot, we passed one of the women who works at the place where we're staying. She asked if my wife was here and I told her of Alyn's illness. She responded with such sadness for her and said she would keep her in her prayers. So many have asked about her... including the nun's at Mother Theresa's who are praying for her.
Mother Theresa's is such a special place because they care for babies that are not only innocent and beautiful, but some of the poorest and most vulnerable children in the world. They have nothing to say about their life or the circumstances they were born into. They are all so precious and Mother Theresa's is God's hand working in Haiti.
Burned Scarred Children
If you ready my earlier blogs, I've posted about all the burn scarred children that I've seen and met in Haiti. I've wondered about the circumstances of their injuries but have no answers. Earlier this week, I was met at one of our watering stops by one of the burned children I met last year during my two month stay. Today, I was pleasantly surprised to meet another of these children again at Mother Theresa's. She was there to see her baby brother. I passed her in the hall and she looked at me and I looked at her. I turned around and said to her "Camion – Dlo – Bucket by Bucket" (camion = truck, dlo = water) and she immediately remembered me. We hugged, held hands and she took me to her little brother. Here is a picture of her... asking me for my cell phone number.... she wants to stay in contact.
If you click on her picture, you can see how terribly scarred her arm, face and hand are.
Dear Lord,
I pray that you keep the burned scarred children of Haiti safe from future harm and protect them from stares or comments from those that see them as anything other than your beautiful child. Give them strength and faith to live a life for you knowing that your unfailing love is enough. In your loving and precious name we pray, Amen.
Reiser Heights
In the afternoon, Mike and I took a ride up to Reiser Heights School in Lespinasse/Donte. This is the school that Father Resier started and the one which with God's grace we were able to add classrooms to. We knew the students were out for summer break but needed to pay teachers salaries and discuss the upcoming school year.
Mike was surprised with the wonderful view that is available from the school of the valley below.
Finally, here is a small video clip of the ride down the mountain. The roads are so rough and bumpy... see what you think.
We thank God everyday for his hedge of protection, keeping us safe and secure in our mission and blessing us with opportunities to be his hands and feet in Haiti.
Thank you for visiting and reading the Healing Haiti blog.

Cover Story - Growth Planning
Who's Lesley Blackner?
Meet the woman whose ideas are hated by every business group in Florida.
Tickled at the memory of her subterfuge, Lesley Blackner
recounts how she went under her married name to a real estate development trends conference in West Palm Beach in October.
Amid the real estate slowdown, as she tells it, the mood was hardly ebullient. Then, one speaker, in the course of remarks on land regulation in Florida, touched on an issue dear to Blackner's heart.
The proposed Florida Hometown Democracy constitutional amendment, the speaker said, was the "worst idea I've ever heard."
"They all just stood up and started clapping," recalls Blackner. "It was the only time I ever saw any kind of energy in the room. You know what? It was interesting to see the kind of reaction because I haven't seen how angry they are. It's like the end of the party as far as they're concerned. They've had it so good for so long."
Critics say Blackner ignores why we have representative democracy and would create land planning based on emotion rather than deliberation.
Blackner, who makes veins throb in the foreheads of developers across Florida, conceived that "worst idea," which for all the ire it rouses still has only a quarter of the voter signatures it needs to get on the 2008 ballot. Blackner's Hometown Democracy amendment calls for citizens to vote directly on whether to make changes in local "comprehensive" land-use plans, the binding plans that determine what kind of development goes where. Blackner's planning-by-plebiscite would revolutionize decision-making about growth in Florida, giving voters a veto over everything from new convenience stores to subdivisions. Whether it ever makes it onto the constitutional ballot, it already has inspired miniversions in a number of Florida cities.
Blackner, 45, seems the kind given to tilting at windmills, the one in college who rails against the status quo while everyone else wants to go out for a beer. A lawyer, she alternates between philosophical musings, such as "growth isn't even defined," and rhetorical bomb-throwing. She calls the Florida Chamber of Commerce and the state Legislature "the evil twins." Legislators are "those creeps." She has a sound bite -- "We have government of the developer by the developer and for the developer" -- but acknowledges a need for a more polished appearance as she ramps up her speaking engagements. "I've got to get my hair done and learn to do makeup," she says.

Chapter 24 – The Dream
As Paige reached Magdalen, the Warden reached out and grabbed her and pulled her to safety. She told him she killed Kraz. He was no loss to the Warden and Nashira would want to keep it quiet because it would expose their morality. The Warden had arranged the explosion to distract Thuban. The Warden told Paige to clean her wounds. The Warden treated the laceration on Paige's cheek with an amber liquid. She learned that the train was only activated during Bone Seasons. There wouldn't be another for ten years.
The Warden told Paige that she was more to him than just a human. He had wanted to learn more about her and her life. That was why he tapped into her memories. He didn't rank humans like Jax apparently did based on her pamphlet that had...

Earlier this year, CMS Chief Andy Slavitt announced that in 2016 MACRA would replace Meaningful Use (MU) as it has existed in the past. While this may be true, many of the current requirements for MU attestation will remain in place. For example, as the law is currently written, 25 percent of the scoring for MACRA's Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) will continue to be based on an EP's Meaningful Use participation for the year. Also, the CMS is still required by law to continue measuring the meaningful use of ONC Certified Health Information Technology under the existing standard set.
Nextech is a responsive, knowledgeable healthcare technology partner providing ONC certified EMR software. We are proud to rank among the highest in Meaningful Use software support and attestation assistance. We are committed to replying to our users' issues quickly, and strive to give close attention to any new needs that might arise for our clients due to changing MU requirements and other such governmental regulations.
At Nextech, we are committed to offering resources and user documentation that will keep our clients abreast of any new/changing rules and regulations that might affect their practices and/or specialties.

Kanji.es v2.2
Kanji Learning App
All right,
now I can practice my Kanji and Spanish at the same time.
You may also want to check this out,
it is from the same guy:
it is a Japanese Hangman
if i only know ONE word of kanji and ZERO of spanish, can i use it? as in i can understand it or something...
the Kanji.es program is a "flash-card" kind of study program,
where you can set it to show or hide the Kanji, Kana, and/or Translation.
Where it shows you one of those and you guess the others,
and hit "show" to see if you were right.
THe translations can be in either Spanish or English.
So if you only know 1 kanji, you can learn using this,
but you will need to know Kana.
The hangman program on the other hand
(in my previous post)
is spanish only.
This is good, I really need something to help me remember Kanji, I find it too hard to memorize them.
What does the "Good" and "Bad" button do?
im chinese and i barely pass the exams at my school does it help? since i know some chinese words are used... for writing or sth..
somebody tell me what is kata and kana or isit katakana?...

DRAMA CLUB: Pinocchio Episode 12 Recap
Welcome back, Pinocchio drama clubbers; emotions are still running high in the latest episode of Pinocchio, and we can't get enough of it. This episode was definitely full of tears, challenges, and maybe even a start of a new friendship? Haha Join Jazmine, Suzy and me as we discuss this week's episode of Pinocchio!
Watch episode 12:
June: Yes! You go Jae Myung and you put that lady in her place. I seriously could not believe they edited that video again. I'm glad he was able to finally say what he wanted to say to her before he went off to jail essentially.
Suzy: If I worked at MSC I would've been like "hey guys, maybe we should pre-tape this interview in case anything goes wrong…" but luckily I don't and Jae Myung got to lay the smackdown on live tv! Verbally, of course.
Jazmine: I was really rooting Jae Myung on during this scene. I was so happy he got to say everything he wanted to In Ha's mom without interference and that it got to be said on live TV. Though I didn't expect him to admit to murder on live TV! That was a shocker.
June: Oh my gosh! Like I just couldn't! Not only did he do this report but he revealed that his brother was a murderer AND(!!!!!!!) he also revealed his real name! This drama keeps me on my toes and too many feels tbh.
Suzy: Gahh, this was so powerful. I got chills when he said his real name. I felt so sorry for him and so proud of him at the same time.
Jazmine. I had all the feels!! I was sitting on the edge of my seat like "whaaaat". This was such a strong moment for the drama and I did not see it coming. I didn't think he would reveal his name so soon. Also bonus points cause I really liked this hair in this scene.
June: TEARS! TEARS EVERYWHERE! I seriously cried so much watching this scene. I've probably said this a billion times before but why, why did it have to be this way!!!!! :((((
Suzy: Let's throw my tears in the mix here because THERE WERE MANY. My heart and soul hurt. This was definitely one of my favorite scenes of the drama so far. Kudos to Chan Soo for not letting anyone interrupt. Hopefully IHYV's Lawyer Cha (so cute seeing him again) can get Jae Myung a decent sentence.
Jazmine: At first I was fighting my tears but when Ha Myung really started bawling I couldn't hold them back anymore. This scene was so sad. I like how Ha Myung is visiting Jae Myung and trying to keep up some form of relationship. But I just want them to hug one more time.
June: Wow if the last scene already didn't have me in a bunch of tears, this one just pushed me overboard. I was so sad hearing Dal Po or should I say Ha Myung tell him to un-adopt him. I was like "Noooooooo you can't! Please stay with them :(" Hearing gramps cry over him was just seriously so depressing.
Suzy: I think I jinxed us last discussion when I said I was glad no one was saying hurtful things/lies to play the noble hero card. Dal Po (I'm keeping with that name), you could've just told him the truth. Gramps is always a lot more understanding than we think.
Jazmine: Yo, talk about more tears. I love Gramps so much so to hear him cry like that and see how hurt everyone (especially In Ha's dad) was about him leaving really made me sad. It's also equally sad to see how much Ha Myung (I'll stick with that until he changes it again) is punishing himself so much. It sucks.
June: Dang! You can really feel the motivation from these two. I feel like this story with the bus driver might end up differently than they think it might go. I don't know, I just have this weird feeling about it. lol
Suzy: Ooh, really? That'd be seriously unfortunate...but definitely interesting. It seems weird to me that an old story about a bus driver is what they're ultimately using to try and bring her down, but I'll take it.
Jazmine: I agree with both of you. I think the driver story might end up more in her favor but I do think the story they're using to bring her down is a bit of a oddball. I wish it was a little more dramatic but it's better than nothing. I'm interested to see how it all goes.
June: Awwwww I just feel so bad for him now. It must suck knowing that the person you like won't ever really return your feelings. But LOL at him checking out the blind date's picture and was like it's too early for this!
Suzy: I feel bad because I've grown to like him, but I'm also like "well, she never showed any interest in him and he kind of only became a reporter to stalk her so…?" He made me laugh with the blind date thing too though. Do it, Bum Jo!
Jazmine: Bum Jo is forever friend-zoned and it's time to him to get over his feelings for In Ha. I also laughed at the blind date things.
June: I absolutely loved the interactions between these two! I want them to become friends so much. It was funny seeing him continually telling Ha Myung that he was on his side.
Suzy: Last episode we had In Ha & Yoo Rae, and now we have these two conjuring up our friendship feels. I ship it! Platonically, haha. But I liked these scenes because Bum Jo really did show that he's a good person.
Jazmine: The bro-ness of it all! I loved their interactions and I want them to be good friends too. I think Bum Jo telling Ha Myung that he was on his side was also kinda his way of letting Ha Myung know that he's over In Ha. Before they were kinda rivals and now that Bum Jo is getting over everything they can be friends!
June: Woahhhhh! We finally saw her lose her cool! I think it's just a sign that she really is afraid of what the outcome might be.
Suzy: The Ice Queen lost her cool and it ran far, far away. I'm not sure she can ever get it back now. I always thought she would redeem herself eventually in this drama, but lately I'm not so sure. She hasn't warmed up one bit. I guess if anything's going to do it, it's this report.
Jazmine: I was surprised to see her snap like that. I thought for sure she'd always keep her cool, but I guess her losing her cool means she has some human qualities and things get to her. I often wondered if she had a conscious for the things she reported and it kinda looks like she does.

It now has its own dedicated website where you can download tune books – please visit www.tuneworks.co.uk
Tuneworks sessions
All in the Beer Tent (Please download tune books from www.tuneworks.co.uk)
Friday 16.30-18.00 Introductory Session with tunes from both the beginners and improvers books. A chance to meet the tutors and get into some early festival tunes. Beginners tunes will be at a speed to suit everyone with improvers tunes going a bit faster.
Saturday 12.00-13.30 Improvers Session – tunes from our improvers book. Features a good range of popular session tunes played at a relaxed speed for players with a bit of experience.
Sunday 12.00-13.30 Beginners Session – tunes from our beginners book. Played at a very steady speed.
Monday 12.00-13.30 Full Speed Session – playing tunes from the improvers session book, tends to be about "Ceilidh Speed". A great chance to get some tunes in on the last day!
Playing for ceilidhs
Workshops: Saturday 14.30-15.30 The HUB (downstairs)
Sunday 13.30-14.30, Berwick Bar
Sunday 17.30-18.30, The Studio
Family Ceilidh: Sunday 18.45-19.45 The Studio.
If you haven't attended this series of workshops before, it's a great way to get playing with a big ceilidh band led by local legends This Way Up.

Bring your friends who can enjoy a dance with you and the rest of Tuneworks providing the music!
Welsh Tune Sessions
Taster Session 1 Saturday 12.15-13.15 Berwick Bar
Taster Session 2 Sunday 12.15-13.15 Berwick Bar
Full Session Monday 13.30-15.00 Beer Tent
Since introducing these sessions in 2015, they have really gone from strength to strength. Our proximity to Wales means that there is a strong local community of traditional Welsh tune players.

Irish Tune Sessions
Beer Tent, Saturday and Sunday 20.00-23.00
Led by Vince Jordan and his family who are members of the Reel Note ceili band based in Birmingham. Vince is a widely respected piano accordion player and ambassador for Irish music, having been world president of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann. The sessions are held in typically relaxed style.
Individual Instrument Workshops
This year we will be providing workshops at various levels. It is important that you select the ones that apply to your level of playing. There will be some overlap so aim to do two and see how you get on. Don't forget to practice in between! These are based on the levels of our session workshops – don't worry if this is your first time at any of our sessions or workshops, we'll fit you in! It would, however, be a good idea to come along to the Friday welcome session and ask staff for a quick assessment of where best to start! Typical lesson plans would be:
Just started – Lesson 1 will provide the basics and get you started on understanding scales and earning some tunes that you can play with others.
Been playing for a year (or two) – Lesson 1 will be a recap and may help reinforce the basics, Lesson 2 will get you playing a little faster, playing different tunes and thinking about simple ornamentation. If you've been working hard, have a go at the later lessons…
Comfortable in Tuneworks Beginners Session – Lesson 2 will be a recap, 3 will help your speed and learning process and 4 will get you thinking about ornaments.
Working on Tuneworks Improvers or Ceilidh/Session tunes – if you are comfortable playing a number of sets of tunes at improvers session speed then go for lessons 3,4 and 5. They will help your overall speed, ornamentation, learn a new tune (or two)
The type of exercises at each level depend on the instrument, and on flute/whistle and fiddle we have beginners as well as more advanced sets of 5 lessons but this will give you an idea:
Lesson 1 – Scales, basic instrument techniques, how to learn tunes.
Lesson 2 – Getting faster, playing from memory.
Lesson 3 – Basic ornaments, improving speed, playing by ear.
Lesson 4 – More advanced ornaments, playing faster, widening your repertoire.
Lesson 5 – Going deeper on some tunes from improvers/ceilidh session/tutor's choice. Thinking about your personal style in terms of ornaments, dynamics etc.
Note: Please don't be offended if the class is too advanced for you – we have lessons at many different levels and the tutor will aim to teach at the right level for the class. Everyone has a slightly different opinion on what makes you a beginner/improver/advanced player, but the tutor is in charge! On flute/whistle and fiddle, you have the option to change between the two levels of classes.

Open Thread: Talk About What Matters Most to You
Discuss and debate the issues that mean the most to you.
In Jenny Joseph's famed poem "Warning," she says: "When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple with a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me." I don't want to just wear purple with a red hat when I'm old, though. I'm going balls to the wall, because what better reward is there for a lifetime of family and work obligations, and all of the other things that make life livable and grand, than the freedom to do whatever you damn well please in the end?
When I am an old woman, I shall drink merlot straight from the bottle without caring who sees me. Like Bernice Youngblood, who was in the news recently for enjoying a stripper hired to perform for the elderly at her Long Island nursing home, I shall request to be entertained by male strippers and happily tuck Washingtons into their Hanes Jockeys. I am going to stuff my face with spicy pork rinds, and -- most of all -- I shall smoke cigarettes. And not those electronic things that are supposed to trick you into thinking you're smoking a cigarette. By that time, I'll have experienced enough of life's trickery that I deserve a real toxin, tar, and nicotine-filled vice.
My intimate relationship with cigarettes began with Marlboro reds and lasted over 15 years. I didn't inhale for the first year, so I don't count that year as being "in a relationship," but rather the "it's complicated" beginning stages. I ended up with and finished out this intense relationship with Newports, which at the time were supposedly the worst cigarette on earth, just in case we want to rank smokers in order of most hardcore or stupid, depending upon how you look at it.
Back then, cigarettes were $1.30 a pack and $10-something a carton. Smoking was permitted in shopping malls and businesses. My high school had a smoking area for students. Cigarettes were the one item you could ask a complete stranger for without feeling like you were begging and without them feeling entirely put out. You could see the empathy in their eyes -- because smokers always knew, fully understood the horrid, hole in your heart that formed when you had no cigarettes.
I remember cigarette machines in Germany that, I believe, cost four Deutsche Marks per pack of awesome. My best friend and I spent many drunken nights gazing at those machines and planning how, if the cigarette gods were to allow us to pry it off the wall, we would take it home, open it, then smoke the gross ones first (usually Camel) and save the greatest ones (some kind of menthol) for last. We had a plan.
Through the years, I quit and started again many times. At one point, I became part of the in-the-closet-smokers group of people who didn't want anyone to know we were dumb enough to still be smoking. I decided to walk away completely when I could see my teeth were yellowing and I was starting to get those weird smoker lines around my mouth. And also, because I felt like death when I tried to run anywhere. My motto before then had always been: "I ain't running. If you are chasing me I will just get got." (Incidentally, I still feel like death when I run.) I actually decided to quit not only for my daughter and my health but out of pure vanity.
I am not, however, one of those ex-smokers who will tell you how much greater life is since I quit. I won't tell you I feel like a new woman. You won't hear me wax poetically about how quitting changed my life. I still miss smoking. I miss reaching over for cigarettes when I wake almost as much as I miss "Good morning, baby" text messages. I miss smoking in the cold and wondering whether it was the menthol or the actual Minnesota winter freezing my lungs solid. I miss puffing while driving, after eating, most definitely while drinking, and I will always miss the postcoital, exclamation-on-the-O smoke that only smokers share.
It isn't the taste and it isn't the smell. No one misses the grimy taste or smell in your mouth, or the dirty ashtray odor that clings to you when you haven't showered in a couple days. It's holding a cigarette between your thumb and forefinger (or forefinger and middle finger), it's the feeling of satisfaction in the first puff, it's sharing cigarettes with friends and loved ones, it's the entire experience from inhaling to exhaling, it's hot guys in the club doing the scramble to light your cigarette first. For me, it's a whole hell of a lot of memories. When I am an old woman, I will need those memories.
Jenny Joseph's poem ends: "But maybe I ought to practice a little now? So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised when suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple."
I can't practice now and have probably practiced a bit too much in the past. However, when I am an old woman and no longer have any especially spectacular use for my health, when I don't give a rat's ass about the lines on my face or my yellow teeth, whether I can run without fear of collapsing after five steps, I shall wear purple with a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me.
And I am also going to smoke my brains out. If my next 40 years are anything like the last 40, I dare you to tell me I can't.

U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.) has had a rough week -- and the negative attention is apparently causing his doctors to recommend the congressman's return to the Mayo Clinic.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times' Michael Sneed, Jackson may be heading back to Mayo. Jackson, according to Sneed's source, "is finding it difficult to continue his treatment because the press is staking out his home and making access to his doctor, who is within a short walking distance from his home, incredibly hard."
The Chicago Democrat disappeared from the public eye over four months ago before going on an extended medical leave to receive treatment for bipolar disorder and related depression and gastrointestinal issues. Jackson returned to his D.C. home from the clinic early last month and, according to a Gawker report, was recently spotted drinking at a bar near his home on two separate occasions.
Aside from telling a reporter with The Daily last week that he is "not well" and continues to see his doctor twice daily, Jackson has not spoken publicly about his condition or when he plans to return to work in Washington.
Jackson remains on the Nov. 6 ballot and appears to be a shoo-in for re-election, even though he has not campaigned publicly. Nevertheless, according to an NBC Chicago report, his campaign has spent $1 million since 2011, nearly the same amount as U.S. Rep. Judy Biggert, who is in the midst of a heated race. CBS Chicago reports that $110,099 has been spent by Jackson's campaign since the congressman's leave began on June 10.
Among the Jackson campaign's expenditures, according to NBC, are fees paid to a political consulting firm owned by his wife, Chicago Alderman Sandi Jackson. Though the payments are legal, they "raise ethical questions," the Better Government Association's Andy Shaw told the station.
Jackson's silence has continued in the face of a new federal investigation into "suspicious activity" concerning the congressman's campaign finances. According to the Chicago Tribune, the Federal Bureau of Investigation is looking into $8,000 Jackson's campaign spent on office furniture from a suburban furniture company in September 2010.
The new federal probe, which began shortly before the congressman went on leave, is unrelated to an ongoing "pay-to-play" ethics investigation concerning whether Jackson was aware of efforts to raise money for imprisoned former Gov. Rod Blagojevich in exchange for his appointment to the Senate in 2008.

By Raphielle Johnson, CollegeHoops.Net
The question of what can be learned from a prior regular season meeting can be a tricky one, especially when there's been so much time in between meetings. No. 1 seed Kentucky (37-2) and No. 2 seed Kansas (32-6) will meet on Monday night for the national title, a rematch of their November 15th meeting at the Champions Classic in New York.
Kentucky won that game 75-65, scoring 47 points in the second half of a game that was tied at 28 at the break. While both teams are far different outfits, with the Wildcat freshmen playing just their second collegiate game and Kansas having some players who are important now adjusting to their new roles on that night, there are some things that can be taken away from the Kentucky win.
Here are some thoughts from that first meeting, and how they apply to what each team will need to do in order to win on Monday night.
1. Tyshawn Taylor
There's no denying the fact that the senior point guard will need to play very well if Kansas is to win its fourth NCAA title. Turnovers have been a talking point when it comes to Taylor for much of the season, but he did not turn the ball over once in the first meeting with Kentucky. The concern on Monday night when looking at the box score from the November meeting: making shots in the lane.
Nine of Taylor's 13 shots came by way of either a layup or dunk, yet he made just two of them. Overall Taylor shot 3 of 13 from the field, scoring 22 points due to a 15 of 17 night from the foul line. It's tough to see him getting 17 free throw attempts on Monday night, meaning that Taylor will need to do a better job of converting the looks he finds in the lane.
With Anthony Davis, who will likely draw Jeff Withey defensively, lurking inside that's easier said than done. And to be fair the missed layups issue wasn't Taylor's alone back in November. As a team the Jayhawks made 7 of 29 layups (14 of 37 overall when counting dunks) according to the CBSSports.com shot chart from the game, a line that simply won't get it done in the rematch.
2. Elijah Johnson and Travis Releford
These two came up big against Ohio State on Saturday night, and Johnson's the reason why the Jayhawks were able to get past Purdue in the Round of 32. Yet they combined to shoot 5 of 17 from the field against Kentucky, scoring 12 points. Releford had the toughest time of the two when it comes to adjusting to Kentucky's length as he accounted for five of Kansas' 14 turnovers.
But in five tournament games Releford has accounted for just three turnovers. Kentucky's a different class of opponent than the five teams the Jayhawks have faced to this point due in large part to their size and wingspan at all five positions. But Releford taking better care of the basketball is a good trend to ride into the title game. The last time Releford's had a turnover percentage of 50% or worse was Kansas' win over Baylor back on February 8. Since then the number's been no higher than 20%; it was 55.5% against Kentucky back in November.
Johnson made just one of his six jumpshots on the night, and for the season 59.5% of his shot attempts come from beyond the arc. But he's been better down the stretch than he was at Madison Square Garden, which could bode well for the Jayhawks. In that game Johnson posted an effective field goal percentage of 31.8%; in four of the five tournament games he's posted an eFG% of 60% or better. Johnson's shooting better and Releford's taking better care of the basketball, and both of those things will need to happen on Monday night.
3. Thomas Robinson
With this being the first match-up of First Team AP All-Americans in a title game since 1999 (Duke's Elton Brand and Connecticut's Richard Hamilton) it's obvious that Robinson and Davis will receive a lot of hype, and rightfully so. The question for Robinson will be how he deals with Kentucky's interior length, and that also includes sophomore Terrence Jones.
Robinson will likely see both players, with Jones possibly getting more time in an attempt to keep Davis out of foul trouble. But regardless of which one he's being guarded by, the Big 12 Player of the Year has to do a better job of scoring around the rim than he did in the first meeting. Robinson missed six shots around the rim, and for the night he made 5 of 12 from the field. On the season Robinson is making 51% of his 2-point shots, and he's been around that number just once (53.8% vs. Detroit) in the tournament.
That's understandable given the amount of attention Robinson's received from opposing defenses, so if Jeff Withey can make Kentucky pay with a couple baskets early things could open up for Robinson. That being said, the Wildcats may be willing to gamble on Withey being able to beat them as he did Baylor in their meeting in Waco. Either way, Robinson will need to score more than the 11 points he tallied in November if Kansas is to win.
1. Marquis Teague
Similar to Taylor, the freshman from Indianapolis will be a key figure in the action at the Mercedes Benz Superdome. As it was for Kentucky as a team back in November, the first meeting was a tale of two halves for Teague. Teague turned the ball over six times in the first half, and it's no coincidence that the Wildcats played better as he took better care of the basketball (zero turnovers in the second half).
On the season Teague has an assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.8 and for the tournament his ratio is at 2.0, which is a far cry from what he put forth at MSG. Teague was similar to Taylor in regards to shots around the basket, as he also struggled in November. Teague made 2 of 7 layups and dunks, with wild forays to the basket tending to lead to either misses or the turnovers discussed above.
With experience has come maturity for Teague, and if he can continue on that path Monday night both he and his team should be able to reap the rewards. Attack the lane with a purpose, and be sure to not kill his dribble without knowing what his next move will be, and Teague should be productive at the point.
2. Terrence Jones and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
There aren't many players in America who are scrutinized as much as Jones, with his demeanor being the focus of many. When he's dialed in Jones is one of the toughest match-ups in the country, as he can finish above the rim and knock down perimeter jumpers. And he played well in the first meeting, accounting for 15 points, seven rebounds and three blocked shots.
Similar to Jones, Kidd-Gilchrist was all over the box score against Kansas with 12 points, nine rebounds, four assists and three blocked shots. His versatility on the defensive end lends itself to John Calipari being able to give him nearly any defensive assignment on the floor. Kidd-Gilchrist saw some time defensively against Peyton Siva on Saturday, with his length giving Siva trouble in the first half, and he could be called on to defend Tyshawn Taylor some on Monday night.
The one issue for Kidd-Gilchirst in the first meeting were the five turnovers, a number he hasn't matched since January 3 against UALR when he had six. MKG finished Saturday's game with four turnovers in what was a somewhat frustrating night following an outstanding weekend in Atlanta the week prior. If Jones and Kidd-Gilchrist are able to leave their prints on the game in a variety of areas, Kentucky is going to be tough to beat. If one (or both) struggle, then the door opens even wider for Kansas.
3. Anthony Davis
Regardless of what the freshman from Chicago may have said at the end of Kentucky's win over Louisville on Saturday night, the fact of the matter is that he took over against Louisville. 18 points, 14 rebounds and five blocked shots for Davis, who has won every major Player of the Year award except for one (Michigan State's Draymond Green won the NABC's award).
14 points, seven blocked shots and six rebounds is what Davis put up in the November meeting, and that doesn't take into effect the number of shots he changed on that night (see Kansas' numbers on layups and dunks above for an idea of that). The task for Davis is a simple one on Monday night: stay out of foul trouble, whether he's on Robinson or Withey to start. The battle between he and Withey features two of the best shot-blockers in the country, with Davis leading in blocks per game and Withey in block percentage.
Of the two Davis is the better offensive weapon, but it isn't as if Kentucky has to run a lot of plays specifically for him. Four of his six made field goals in the first meeting were either layups or dunks, and he's fifth on the team in possession percentage (19.1%) according to Ken Pomeroy's numbers. Davis being a force on both ends of the floor would likely mean an eight national title for Kentucky, something the Jayhawks must make sure doesn't happen.

How 40 Years of Union-Busting Has Failed America
Henry Blodget says he hates labor unions, but unless companies start raising wages we're going to need them.
I would put this another way. If you turn back 30 or 40 years, the policy rationale for crushing labor union influence went something like this: In the short-term crushing private sector labor unions is going to lead to a surge in corporate profits, but profits are the fuel of investment and long-term economic growth. Companies with high profits have the capital necessary to invest. And the existence of large profit margins means there are profit opportunities to be exploited with new investment. It makes perfect sense. But it hasn't happened, and profits have soared far in excess of investment.
You can look at this in different ways, but here's corporate profits after tax minus net private investment:
Which is to say that several decades into this experiment, we're seeing much more of the "profits surge" than the "surging profits lead to an investment boom" dynamic. One explanation for this that's growing in popularity on the right is that the rise of more capital-friendly politics in the mid-1970s coincidentally occurred at the exact same time as a structural slowdown in the rate of technological progress, so while it seems like anti-labor politics has failed to deliver the goods, it's really all just a stroke of bad luck.
And maybe that's right—just because an unfalifiable proposition seems conveniently conducive to the interests of very rich people doesn't mean it's false. But it sure seems false to me.
Now of course the policy world isn't binary. Just because something has failed doesn't mean the only way to fix things is to simply reverse the thing that failed. Possibly, the right remedy to this is to change labor law. Possibly, the right remedy is to change corporate governance. Possibly, the right remedy is to engineer a public sector investment boom. Maybe some of the sources of these profits need to be attacked directly. Maybe it's all of them. But however you slice it, the striking issue isn't simply the structural growth of profits in a low wage environment, it's that the business-friendly environment isn't bringing us the investment utopia we were promised.

I was lucky enough to receive a Mom VoxBox from Influenster this month. Influenster is a program where you sign up and if you meet the requirements for that month's box they will send you a selection of products to test. To see a description of all of the products check out my post here: http://buttercupsobsession.blogspot.com/2012/06/influenster-mom-voxbox.html
I got a Quaker Soft Baked Oatmeal Raisin Cookie, which was delicious and didn't last very long. It was a large sized cookie, and not overly sweet. As a working mom of 2 toddlers in daycare I'm always looking for single serve items to throw in a lunch box or to give my boys as a snack on the go. I personally love oatmeal raisin cookies and the Quaker Oatmeal Recipe is the only one I bake with, but I don't have the time to bake, and when I do the request is always for chocolate chip. I bought more Oatmeal Raising and Apple Cinnamon at my local store to share with my family. My husband didn't care for the texture, but he's very picky about his cookies. My kids and I loved them.
A whole box of Stash Tea Super Fruits Sampler. It contains 18 tea bags in 6 different flavors. I've been a Stash Tea fan for years, so I was thrilled to to get a whole box to test. In the box are 3 herbal caffeine free teas and 3 green teas. Stash Fruit Teas can be enjoyed hot or cold, which I love becuase I often don't get to enjoy my tea hot with 2 toddlers running around. Stash Fruit Teas are wonderful and they've outdone themselves with the Super Fruits. The Yumberry was my favorite, but they were all delicious. My only complaint is they were gone too fast. I would buy a box of each flavor or the sampler again. I hope my store starts to carry these flavors, if not I'll order these from www.stashtea.com. They included a $1 off 2 boxes coupon for instore purchase and a 15% off online purchase coupon in the VoxBox.
To go with the teas I also got 2 packets of Nektar Honey Crystals. I don't usually use honey in my tea unless I have a sore throat because it's not sweet enough for me. The crystals taste like honey, and again aren't sweet enough for me, but if you like honey provide the sweetness of honey in the convenience of a packet. They don't leave the sticky honey mess in the bottom of the cup like honey does, and flavor the tea much better because they actually dissolve like sweetener. I would buy these if I saw them in the store.
I got a set of Impress Nails Press On Manicure. These are super easy to apply and removed. The color and shine was nice. They fit well and weren't too long. I didin't keep them on very long because they were really rough on the free edge. It was like they didn't file them down after they broke them out of the molding when they were made. They kept catching on my clothes and scratching me. I didn't want to scratch my kids so I took them off after a few hours. I tried to file them down but didn't have much luck. If it hadn't been for the rough edges I would have left these on for a few days.
Ivory Bar Soap I'm strictly a body wash girl, but I before the days of body wash and body gels I only used bar soap. I used the Ivory to clean my makeup brushes, which really needed a good cleaning. I got a travel soap holder and have left the soap on my bathroom sink and have been using it to wash my face at night before bed as well as to clean my make-up brushes more regularly. I'll be keeping a lookout for the Ivory body wash in stores.
For myself and my boys we got a pack each of Dentek Dental flossers. I hate flossing my teeth. It's a pain. I have sensitive gums so it literally hurts me to do it, plus I hate sticking my hands in my mouth. The invention of flossers is a great solution for me. My teeth are really close together so any floss or flosser with thin floss tends to shred. I've used the DenTek flossers before and will continue to use them. Perfect for travel or to keep in your purse. They come in a zip top bag or I like to put them in snack sized bags and take them with me when I go somewhere.
The ones for the kids are brightly colored. It is easier to use these on my boys than regular floss since they don't stand still for more than 2 minutes and you can get their back teeth without sticking your whole hand in their mouth. On the sample bag was a coupon for $1 off. I bought a bag because my kids complained that they couldn't floss when the pack was empty. They are perfect for travel and we took them on vacation. My boys liked the fruit flavor.

The Many Uses of Ivory
I received a bar of Ivory in my Mom VoxBox from Influenster to try out.
Aside from using it to wash my face, I used my bar to clean my makeup brushes which really needed a good cleaning. My skin isn't sensitive, but my face is sensitive. It breaks out easily and I have to be very selective in the products I use on my face. Certain cleansers have been known to dry out my face but the Ivory didn't. I feel very comfortable cleaning my makeup brushes with the soap I use on my face, and I know it won't make me break out.
In testing my bar of soap, I was surprised to learn all of the other uses of Ivory other than just using it as soap. I knew you could use bar soap as soap, and to get ring around the collar out of white shirts and to get rid of those ugly under arm stains from deodorant. What I didn't know is that you could make laundry soap from Ivory or you can carve it and make an art project.
I'm a body wash girl, so I'm looking forward to trying out the Ivory body washes, and I'll keep the bars around for keeping my face and makeup brushes clean.
Ivory Bar Soap
Free of dyes and heavy perfumes, Ivory provides a simple, yet effective clean for the entire family (without breaking the bank!).
Ivory bar soap is 99.44% pure (it floats!). Beyond using it as a body cleanser, many of Ivory's loyal users – not to mention a few celebrities – swear by Ivory as their beauty secret. In fact, many consumers use Ivory bar soap as a facial cleanser. It provides healthier, smoother and more even-looking skin. Also, its versatility makes it an effective laundry soap (just chip soap flakes into the washer) as well as a spot stain remover on your clothes (including delicate items). Ivory bars can even be used for a fun soap carving project with the family!
When it comes to motherhood, Ivory (the clean & simple soap) knows that being a mom has become more complex than ever, and that moms are looking for ways to simplify their lives. According to a survey of 1,000+ moms conducted by Wakefield Research on Ivory's behalf in October 2011, 80% of American moms think motherhood is more complicated today than it was 20 years ago, despite the thousands of items supposedly designed to "simplify" their lives. But, while they may be more stressed out and busier than ever, almost 90% of moms think they're doing a better job balancing it all than their mothers did. Some other interesting stats:
· 30% of moms surveyed found the most complicated aspect of motherhood was finding more "me" time, 66% confessed to hiding in their bathroom for some alone time.
· 75% feel the pressure to make every outing, playdate, or experience a "teachable moment," which can create great pressure
· 75% feel the pressure to make every outing, playdate, or experience a "teachable moment," which can create great pressure
· 70% of moms feel they don't have everything together, despite others thinking that they do.
As a result of these findings, Ivory created a Facebook community where everyday moms can share tips with one another on ways to simplify life for themselves and their families.
Find your Ivory now at your nearest retailer, including stores such as Walmart and Target as well as any major grocery, dollar and drug store. A 10-pack of Ivory bar soap retails for around $4.49 (bath bar size).

Quaker Soft Baked Oatmeal Cookies
I got a Quaker Soft Baked Oatmeal Raisin Cookie to test and review in my Influenster Mom VoxBox. It was delicious, so didn't last very long. It was a large sized cookie, and not overly sweet which I like in an oatmeal cookie. As a working mom of 2 toddlers in daycare I'm always looking for single serve items to throw in a lunch box or to give my boys as a snack on the go. I personally love oatmeal raisin cookies and the Quaker Oatmeal Recipe is the only one I bake with. I don't have the time to bake very often, and when I do the request is always for chocolate chip. My kids were mad that I didn't let them eat the cookie so I had to buy a box of these as well as the Apple Cinnamon.
These cookies are 170 calories per cookie and 6 grams of fat, which for a cookie isn't that bad. I'll be buying these again!

From "Getting Started,' with "Short Assignments," through "Shitty First Drafts," "Character," "Plot," "Dialogue." all the way from "False Starts" to "How Do You Know When You're Done?" Lamott encourages, instructs, and inspires. She discusses "Writers Block," "Writing Groups," and "Publication." Bracingly honest, she is also one of the funniest people alive.
If you have ever wondered what it takes to be a writer, what it means to be a writer, what the contents of your school lunches said about what your parents were really like, this books for you. From faith, love, and grace to pain, jealousy, and fear, Lamott insists that you keep your eves open, and then shows you how to survive. And always, from the life of the artist she turns to the art of life.
"An inspiring book about writing as a way of finding the truth
San Francisco Chronicle
"Surpasses all the other books on writing already out there even the wonderful stuff by Natalie Goldberg, John Gardner, and AnnieDillard."
Seattle Times
"Well-written, funny, and useful." Denver Post
"I ended up reading it twice and expect to dip into it again in times of need. I recommend this book to other writers without reservation....This woman is uncanny."
Marie Winn, Wall Street Journal
"A quirky, personal, mordant, down-to-earth guide to fiction writing by a wonderful novelist essayist. Lamott makes writing seem like something you could actually enjoy."

This morning's key headlines from GenerationalDynamics.com:
- Syria's war turns against Bashar al-Assad
- United States prepares for military action in Syria against chemical weapons
- Nato approves Turkey's request for Patriot missiles on Syrian border
- Vietnam lodges a new protest with China over South China Sea belligerence
Syria's war turns against Bashar al-Assad
Many analysts are saying that after 20 months of war in Syria, therehas been a recent shift in the fighting that makes a victory by theopposition rebels over president Bashar al-Assad a real possibility.The rebels are better armed, and better trained to use the weaponsthey have. There are reports that they can shoot down al-Assad'swarplanes and helicopters with shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles,supplied by Saudi Arabia and Qatar. In a major strategic shift,they're closing in on al-Assad's seat of power in Damascus. TheRussians are still opposed to any external intervention in Syria, butthey're no longer committed to al-Assad personally. (However, Iran isstill committed personally.) AP
United States prepares for military action in Syria against chemical weapons
With the war turning against Bashar al-Assad, analysts are saying thatal-Assad is facing three choices:
- Flee into exile. (In the past, there was talk of him fleeing to Moscow with his super-hot wife Asma and his kids.)
- Fight to the death with conventional weapons.
- Try to delay defeat by using chemical weapons (sarin or mustard gas), despite harsh warnings from American and European administrations that this is a "red line" that would prompt outside military action.
Fears about chemical weapons use were heightened over the weekendby satellite photos showing movement of al-Assad's chemical weapons,and reports that they're moving into position for battle.
As we reported two months ago ( "13-Oct-12 World View — U.S. preparing for worst-case chemical weapons scenario in Syria"), the United States militaryhas sent troops to Jordan to prepare to take action against the useof chemical weapons. Since then, American forces in Jordan, Israeland Turkey have gone on high alert, and are preparing for militaryaction in Syria.
The al-Assad regime has issued a widely-quoted statement that theypeople under any circumstances." In the first place, al-Assad's wordis worthless, and it might even be argued that this statement meansthat he WILL use chemical weapons against his own people. And second,this statement ostentatiously omits mention of external forces,whether American, Turkish, Jordanian, or Israeli.
This statement also omits another possibility — turning the chemicalweapons over to Hizbollah or another terrorist group, and allow THOSEpeople to use chemical weapons against al-Assad's people. Bloomberg and Debka
Nato approves Turkey's request for Patriot missiles on Syrian border
Nato announced on Tuesday that it was approving Turkey's request todeploy the Patriot anti-missile system on Turkey's border with Syria.There have been fears expressed that the system would be used toestablish a no-fly zone over Syria, like the no-fly zone that wasestablished over Libya last year. However, Turkey and Nato havecommitted that the system will be used for defensive purposes only,especially out of fear that the al-Assad regime will launch chemicalweapons into Syria. (It's not certain that the Patriot anti-missilesystem is effective against such weapons.) At any rate, things aremoving rapidly in Syria right now, while the Patriot system willrequire several weeks to deploy. AP
Vietnam lodges a new protest with China over South China Sea belligerence
It seems that almost every day there's a new act of belligerence on the partof China, as it pursues its "Lebensraum" policy to confiscate as much propertyas possible that belongs to other nations. On Tuesday, Vietnam lodge anew protest with China, saying that Chinese boats had intentionally blockedand damaged a Vietnamese seismic survey vessel operating in Vietnam'sinternationally recognized exclusive economic zone. The incident occurredon November 30.
As we've reported, China last weekissued a statement that starting in 2013 they would be boarding andseizing any ships in China's "territorial waters," which they claiminclude the entire South China Sea. This is one of the world'sbusiest commercial shipping routes, and if China starts boarding andseizing commercial ships of America or other nations, there is goingto be a military response.

since you already have your smart money card then you can use it to verify your paypal account, make sure to have more than a 100 pesos in your smart money coz they will take some money from it to make sure if its really your account though they will also returned the money after few days after verification. paypal will send pin code for that and just call smart money hotline service to trace your transaction history and ask them if theres a history from paypal and if they can give you the number, i forgot if its 4 or 5 digit number, just ask them if theres 4 or 5 digit number there for a certain amount deducted by paypal and then login to your paypal and enter that number to finalize your verification. then once you already verified your account, you can then withdraw the money to your smart money.

using smart money is just for verification purposes only, you cant withdraw funds from it.. but if your using e currency like liberty or alertpay you can try using pinoygoldexchange services, you can withdraw you funds directly to your smart money, western union or bank account.

the best way to withdraw your earnings is thru unionbank eon card its not really hard to apply for one and the approval time is also short you need to wait atleast 1 week.. its the cheapest way to withdraw money here in the Philippines.

I've read several posts on the internet that we can actually withdraw PayPal funds to BDO using Smart Money. Smart Money and BDO are connected. It's actually better because there is no annual fee and only P5 withdrawal fee. Haven't tried it though but I'm planning to apply for Smart Money mastercard soon.

Want to expand your poultry product processing options?
Learn from experts how to improve and expand your processed poultry products on March 6, 2015.
Further processed and ready to eat poultry products are increasing in popularity. Many consumers desire poultry products that combine convenience with innovation.
Other educational topics for the workshop include animal welfare, harvesting and initial processing, selecting poultry and non-meat ingredients, smokehouse schedules, packaging with roll stock machines, and assessing product shelf life. Although the topics will focus on poultry products, the information learned will be applicable to other meat products. For example, roll stock machines have numerous applications for improving product quality, providing labor savings, and extending fresh and frozen product shelf life.
The Poultry Product Processing workshop is a lead-in to Michigan Meat Association's Annual Convention on March 7, 2015. The MMA Annual Convention will be held at the Crown Plaza in Lansing and include a technical and regulatory session, trade show and processed meat and poultry product contest. Both the pre-convention workshop and MMA Annual Convention prove to be a valuable networking opportunity for meat and poultry processors across Michigan.

SOURCE: Cherubim Interests Inc.
December 15, 2016 13:45 ET
DALLAS, TX--(Marketwired - Dec 15, 2016) - Cherubim Interests, Inc. (OTC PINK: CHIT) ("the Company"), an expansion-stage alternative construction and real estate development company, announces its year-end letter to shareholders.
Whilst developing our hybrid business model we initiated a stimulus program that was ultimately intended to enhance net stockholders' equity and serving as a playbook to attract and acquire investment and equity into Cherubim Interests Inc. Following this playbook, the company is delighted to provide an update on our progress and ongoing quest for added corporate and shareholder value.
We successfully acquired vital revenue producing asset Victura Roofing LLC, which jumpstarted our roofing footprint in the DFW Metroplex while also unlocking an immediate expansion opportunity into the Oklahoma City region with the acquisition of Cherubim Builders Group LLC (Oklahoma). The company looks to begin expansion into the OKC region once storm season approaches in early 2017. Since the acquisition of Victura Roofing in March of 2015, the company has added a very strong cash flow to our balance sheet of over Two-Million ($2,000,000) USD.
Real Estate Development
Cherubim Inc. has also identified and subsequently put under contract to purchase real estate in Eugene, Oregon. This will thus be utilized to implement the grand opening of BudCube Cultivation Systems (BCS) "Cultivation Center" business concept in 2017.
We have subcontracted two large-loss residential reconstruction projects totaling in excess of $400,000 USD, formed a strong partnership with United Cannabis Corp in order to design, construct and deploy mobile extraction laboratories to service the cannabis sector, and executed a Letter of Intent with Sperry Van Ness/TJF Investments.
Mobile Testing and Extraction Laboratories
The companies expect to begin construction and assembly of the laboratories in the coming weeks, and should begin shipping the first units by year-end.
Earnest Blackmon, United Cannabis' Chief Executive Officer, said of the announcement, "The opportunity to partner with BudCube is one we couldn't pass up. We leveraged their construction experience with our cultivation and processing expertise to design a fully functioning laboratory grade facility that fits in a mobile trailer. The end result is a product that not only serves our needs, but also serves a growing demand within the industry."
Blackmon went on to say, "We've spent the past year doing the groundwork, establishing relationships and securing the necessary licenses and permits to launch our operation in Jamaica with our partner CRD, and this mobile extraction lab will give us the platform we need to initiate the project. Once it's delivered, we'll have a state-of-the-art turnkey facility that will enable us to begin processing plants for terpenes and other compounds, all of which will set us up to manufacture our Prana line and Blue River Extracts products for distribution across Jamaica."
Sperry Van Ness / TJF Joint Venture
Cherubim Interests Inc. has executed a Letter of Intent with Sperry Van Ness | TJF Investments. The companies are engaged in a promising joint venture within the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex which will ultimately develop, construct, and lease several yet to be determined single-family residences which will then be divested to a pre-determined purchaser for amounts based on cap rates conducive to their respective geographic areas.
S-1 Registration Statement
On November 22, 2016 the company entered an Investment Agreement with Tangiers Global, LLC, in which Tangiers has agreed to purchase up to five million dollars ($5,000,000) of the Company's common stock via S-1 registration statement. Legal is currently drafting all documentation and the company expects to begin the filing process in early 2017.
Debt Reduction
Cherubim Interests has been able to successfully retire both affiliate and non-affiliate debt from the company's balance sheet. Since May 31, 2015 the company has successfully eliminated over $2,000,000 of affiliate and non-affiliate debt from the company's books.
We have also created a series of Anti-Dilutive, Convertible Preferred Shares in order to protect our majority stakeholders. This move insulates them from past, present, or future dilution in the open market by providing these anti-dilutive securities as a dividend payment. We will be addressing the dividend for all shareholders of record early in the new year.
Senior Exchange
Cherubim is looking add the net equity necessary to uplist to either NYSEMKT or NASDAQ organically through its real estate development agenda, or by prospecting for acquisitions of assets via convertible preferred stock.
Go Forward Strategy
The 'go forward' strategy is to continue to increase and add revenue through our roofing and general construction business models, further develop the BCS business concept, and adding net-equity to the balance sheet organically or by acquisition being the final task before selecting the appropriate exchange and making application for uplist.
The company is happy to report on milestones that the company has acquired valuable construction assets which have added immediate revenue production, not to mention traditional insurance restoration opportunities which remain plentiful in our specific region. On a personal note I have to say I am delighted to address our valued shareholders on the above noted milestones and would like to take the opportunity of reiterating our genuine commitment to further strengthening the company and growing corporate equity. The company wishes all of its shareholders a warm and peaceful Happy Holiday and prosperous New Year.
Warm Regards,
Patrick Johnson

Uncle Sam's Loss Was the Quakers' Gain
Low blood pressure kept Francis Bosworth (1904-1983) from serving in the military during the Second World War. In response, Bosworth, a seasoned writer, turned to social service. It was this second calling that brought Bosworth, an Episcopalian, to Philadelphia, where he was employed by the Quakers for nearly a quarter of a century to oversee a settlement house. Oversight led to activism, and in recognition of his efforts on behalf of urban development, Bosworth was awarded one of the city's most prestigious honors in 1952, the Philadelphia Award.

Every Picture Tells a Story; Some Speak to History
My task as a volunteer in digital collections is to add metadata to images posted in "Questions of the Week." As a historian by training, my metadata interests lean toward the descriptive. What was the purpose of this photograph showing the Honorable Raymond Pace Alexander (1898-1974) and his wife Dr. Sadie Tanner Mosell Alexander (1898-1989), flanking business and civic leader Albert M. Greenfield (1887-1967)? While I could not identify the event, I did uncover what was probably one of the earliest associations of Alexander and Greenfield.
