Through literally hundreds of vaccinations and dewormings, 60 surgeries, nutrition training, and a nationwide farrier clinic, all from June 6-13, the Dominican Republic's horses, donkeys, and mules are once again benefiting from a new concept known as "equitarianism."
The equitarian effort, headed by Jay Merriam, DVM, MS, of the Massachusetts Equine Clinic in conjunction with the Massachusetts Veterinary Medical Association, targets the second poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and is part of the association's "Samana Project." Since 1993 veterinarians, technicians, and other volunteers have been traveling to the Dominican Republic twice a year to provide much-needed health care to the country's working equids, as well as small animals.
The Samana Project summer 2010 team just completed "the most productive year ever," according to equine podiatrist and Samana team member Steve O'Grady, BVSc, MRCVS, of Northern Virginia Equine in Marshall. ""The horses were just coming out of the woodworks, nonstop," he said. Vaccines and dewormers were given until the team's stock, donated by U.S. manufacturers, was depleted. A team of three veterinarians and and numerous veterinary students performed 52 castrations in addition to other necessary surgeries in four days.
Castration not only promotes better working equids but also prevents uncontrolled breeding and reduces major health risks including injuries sustained from fighting stallions, O'Grady said. However, castration is not easily accepted in Hispanic culture, where stallion ownership represents a long-standing, proud tradition. Through education efforts over the years, the Samana team has been able to promote not only the benefits of gelding but also the increased breeding of mules, which are sturdier for work than the horses and are sterile with regards to breeding.
Nutritional education is also starting to show results, O'Grady said. No longer being tied to the side of the road to find forage for themselves, the working equids are now being fed grasses grown and cultivated just for them. "Compared to the kinds of animals the team was seeing five years ago, these horses and mules looked phenomenal," he said.
Now in his second year in the project, O'Grady and the team organized a nationwide farrier clinic, attended by at least two local farriers from each province. "Farriery addresses one of the most common and serious concerns of the working equid: problems with the feet," he said. Farrier equipment was donated and shipped to the Dominican Republic by Farrier Products Distribution in Shelbyville, Ky.
Like humanitarianism, equitarianism is meant to promote sympathy and benevolence towards individuals, but in this case, the individuals are the equine inhabitants of developing countries. Equitarian interests are on the rise, with more and more opportunities becoming available to equine health care professionals wanting to make a difference, said Merriam during the first official session on equitarianism, held at the American Association of Equine Practitioners Annual Convention last year.

Sometimes Renji thinks about poetry. He wonders if he might have been able to do that sort of thing, if life had been different, if there hadn't been dead friends and Eleventh Division and betrayal along the way. He knows that Kuchiki-taichou likes it. He knows that aristocrats (and some of them, like Kyouraku-taichou or Ukitake-taichou, are even decent human beings) can throw off poems like sweat in hot weather. It's just, you know, not his thing.
If it was, then maybe in the past he'd have been able to find words to describe the look on Rukia's face so many years ago, as she picked up one of the flowers floating in the river and held it for the rest of them to see. The firelight was reflected on the river's surface. The starlight was reflected in her face. The flower was white, but not as white as her hands. The night was dark, but not as dark as her hair. And the quality that shone through her, like light through the paper shade of a lamp -- that was incomparable.
When he holds her these days, either as a lover or as a friend, he is conscious of her size next to him. It isn't a defect; she is Rukia, and she is who she is and how she is, and he doesn't really mean the jokes about breadboards and wanting a bit more to fill his hands, and she knows it. She's exquisite, she's perfect, she's beautiful . . .
. . . she's small.
There should be more poems about beautiful small things. Windflowers. Diamonds. Frost on the window. Orchids. The sweetness of a single grain of sugar. The spice of a single grain of cinnamon. The brightness of a single drop of blood.
He could touch her skin but never stain it. He could wrap her in his sleeves, hold her in his hands, and still she'd shine through. Her light would ripple through his skin and bones like candles through alabaster.
Sometimes he wonders if there are ways to say this in poetry, because there sure as fuck aren't any other ways to say it.

The following common household products are TOXIC and DEADLY to birds. A bird's biology is so different from ours that things we do not even sense can and DO kill them! Remember the old "canary in the coal mine"…. Also consider: if it capable of killing our birds quickly….what is it doing to us slowly?
Read on to find a list of things you need to avoid if you have birds (or reptiles, which are also highly sensitive). This checklist is being brought to you from The Oasis Sanctuary - and they are in need of assistance.
Print this out and keep it close by, refer your family and friends to their site and let's get these birds the help they need.
One of the main things you should avoid if you have birds (and it's not a bad idea to avoid them in general) is:
- Non-stick cookware (NOT just "Teflon" brand )
When heated, these coatings produce a CLEAR and ODORLESS gas. The only warning you have is your bird falling over dead.
- Non-stick coatings are including in and on things you would not think of such as:
- Toasters
- Hair-dryers
- Ovens (especially toaster-ovens)
- Drip pans for stove burners
- Baking pans
- Irons
- Ironing board covers
Check your house out carefully. Your bird can be in the other end of the house and still have a strong enough reaction to die! Do not use:
- Any and all aerosol sprays
- Scented candles
- Scented oils and air-fresheners (including those "plug in" types)
- General rule of thumb….if it is a spray, keep it away from the birds.
- Be careful with beads and coins which can be ingested…..they can contain toxins or can create obstructions.
- Stained glass such as lamps and "sun catchers"….The leading between the glass pieces is deadly to birds!
More "Keep-aways:
- Electronic parts such as old telephones and keyboards….There are copper and lead components in many electronic devices, both of which can cause poisoning of birds.
Foods not to give your bird:
- Avocado - any portion including fruit, branches and leaves can be deadly.
- Alcohol is no-no
- No caffeine
- No carbonated drinks
- No milk (birds are lactose intolerant) but cheese (high is calcium!) is ok in moderation
- No UN-roasted peanuts. The roasted, unsalted, human grade ones are ok - again in moderation as they are very high in fat.
- No onions (not digestible)
- Good foods which should comprise about 1/3 of their daily diet:
- Melons and fruit
- Bell peppers and vegetables
- Cooked rice or pasta with veggies and garlic
- "Birdy bread" (a corn-bread base with fruits and veggies and peanut butter baked into it. Experiment with joy and creativity!!!)
Must do:
- Take your birds to the Avian Vet at least once a year for a thorough "Well-bird" exam.
- Remember, as a flock animal, birds mask diseases until it is often too late to help them!
- Put together an Avian First-aid kit. Talk to your Vet about what you should have on hand.
- Plan for emergencies and for the future!
- Keep a carrier ready and handy in case of fire, flood or other emergency "quick exit" from your home.
- Have someone you can call to take care of your bird if you are in an accident or stranded away from home. Keep that number in your wallet!
- Post a sign on your front and back doors or windows saying:
- "FIREMAN! ___ # of Birds inside!"
- If you have cats or dogs etc post their info on this sign as well.
- Put together a Will including your beloved animals.
- Post this information on your fridge.
- The Life You Save Could Be Theirs!

These learning workshops are inspirational, meaningful and give the participants an opportunity to understand how to support themselves through their Journey Into Discovering Self. These workshops are highly experiential, heart-centered, relevant and practical as well as transformational. They cover the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual sides of self.
The Level 1 portion of the instructor's program includes coverage of the full course of lesson plans filled with step by step training questions for the Instructor(s) to ask the participant(s), along with discussing powerpoints and the workbooks that the participants will be using.
This five day intensive training course will introduce the future instructor(s) to the concept of teaching the four quadrants of self. The Physical, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual Quadrants will be covered and each lesson plan will be discussed. Most all questions relating to the content within the lesson plan curriculum will be gone over. There will also be some experiential exercises that will anchor the quadrants into the practitioner's minds.
At the end of the day, the group will be doing a wrap-up of all the information learned and an open question and answer forum will prevail along with the sharing of emails so any questions that may arise later on may be answered together as a group. (Everyone attending will receive a certificate of attendance)
The final day of the Level 1 training program you will receive the complete "Discovering Self" program kit. It including copies of all 3 participant's workbooks for you to keep, all 3 facilitator's lesson plan binders – over 72 lessons – and all the PowerPoint presentations complimenting each lesson plan. You will also be provided with a list of suggested DVD Movies and YouTube videos used within the course.
During the day you will personally choose 1 of the 3 manuals and make your way through some of the "Discovering Self" program, which is your study phase of the course. This will enable you to be prepared to step into the next level where you will be facilitating groups.
After working in 1 of the 3 workbooks, you will be requested to hand in your work from Phase 1 as your final exam. The exam is looked over, suggestions are given and then upon approval by Journey Into Wellness staff, you will then step into your two-month full-time practicum. Upon completion of this practicum, your instructor that trained you will hand in your review and you will become a Certified "Discovering Self" Instructor under the auspices of Journey Into Wellness Inc. enabling you to facilitate this course in your area.
The future instructor will be able to teach this course with confidence and assurance. If unable to attend the full five-day workshops the participant will not be able to receive the "Discovering Self" program kit or certification to facilitate the program.
A certificate showing date of completion of the course will be forwarded to you.

The proposed lock objects in zero gravity refers to space technology, namely the means of ensuring the activities of the astronauts in weightlessness, including open space, in particular to the means of securing items to the body of the space object or each other.
The proposed latch can be effectively used in the diving operations, transport, and other industries production and business activity, as well as in domestic operations.
In the process of life and work in zero gravity, you need to fix, fix all the objects that surround astronaut or which it uses to avoid uncontrolled drift or separation from the space object and lost.
For fixing, there are various ways and means: mechanical, magnetic, adhesive; elastic fabric, elastic bands, ribbons, cords. The materials used for fixation, the demands for the preservation of their physical properties under the influence of space factors: vacuum, temperature, radiation and other
One way of fixing is binding items fabric cords, ropes. The use of these funds, tying knots for astronaut in spacesuit under pressure, with limited mobility is reduced tactile sensitivity of the fingers in the glove - extremely time-consuming task with guaranteed positive outcome. Moreover, in practice, revealed the same effect as weakening, the blooming of nodes in weightlessness and the weakening of all the leash.
A device for fixation of the structural elements on the body of the spacecraft (RF patent 1804423)providing a fixation band-shaped, flat design elements on two parallel rails of a spacecraft using staples, U-shaped, one end of which is made rigid with the C-shaped profile, and the other end is made with a spring-loaded protrusion. This device ensures the fixation of the subject only to two parallel handrails and captures only a flat, ribbon-like objects, not fixation of objects of various configurations to any element of the design of the space object.
Known use in engineering wire to lock against unauthorized unscrewing the locking screw connections. The completion of the operation of twisting the wire in this case is carried out using tools such as pliers, which is not acceptable due to the limited locomotor capabilities of the astronaut in a spacesuit (Handbook of metal. Volume 2., s. The motor cycle", Moscow, 1958) (prototype).
The task of the invention is to provide the giving of the universality of the latch due to the fixation of objects of various configurations to any structural elements of the space object in the open space astronaut in a space suit.
The solution is achieved by the fact that the latch is made in the form of a wire in a non-metallic shell with rings on the ends, the diameter of which is commensurate with the size of the fingers narutoi gloves of the suit under excessive pressure, and the wire material has the property of residual plastic deformation.
Figure 1 shows the initial state of the latch.
Figure 2 shows the cross section of the latch.
Figure 3 shows one of the uses for the release.
On the figures:
1 - latch;
2 - wire;
3 - non-metallic sheath;
4 - ring;
5 - fixed object;
6 - the handle of a space object;
7 - twisting.
The latch 1, for example, annealed copper wire 2 has a non-metallic shell 3, for example, PTFE and rings 4.
The latch is used as follows. Astronaut in spacesuit Flex the latch 1 in the form of a fixed object 5 together with the structural element, for example, a handrail of a space object 6 to which the subject is attached, Prodavat fingers in rings 4 and ties up the loose ends in the release twist 7 thereby effecting the fixation of the object.
Due to the residual plastic deformation of the material of the retainer securing the subject happens to be sturdy, durable, stable, resistant to factors KOs is practical space, twisting can be easily disassembled by the astronaut, and the latch can be used again or repeatedly.
Steps to use lock available and convenient to carry astronaut in spacesuit under overpressure conditions of weightlessness that follows from the experience of implementing operations extravehicular activity.
Lock objects in the space containing the wire in a non-metallic sheath, characterized in that at the ends of the retainer ring provided along the diameter commensurate with the size of the fingers narutoi gloves of the suit under excessive pressure, and the wire material has the property of residual plastic deformation.

FIELD: space engineering.
SUBSTANCE: proposed method includes joint assembly of payload and launch vehicle for forming space launch vehicle which is equipped with apogee stage with solid-propellant engine plant. Carrier-aircraft is coupled with space launch vehicle and launch vehicle is raised by this aircraft to preset altitude, then launch vehicle is separated and solid-propellant engine plants of three boost stages are started in succession; launch vehicle is injected into preset near-earth orbit and payload is separated from launch vehicle at preset point of trajectory in preset direction. In the course of flight of launch vehicle upon discontinuation of operation of engine plants of boost stages and completion of first boost leg, ballistic pause is performed at motion of space launch vehicle over ballistic trajectory at climbing the required altitude of orbit. Upon completion of ballistic pause at second boost leg engine of apogee stage is started and space launch vehicle is injected into preset near-earth orbit at respective velocity increment and compensation of error during operation of boost stages. Aircraft rocket space complex includes 1st class aerodrome, carrier-aircraft and space launch vehicle. Masses of boost and apogee stages are selected at definite ratio. Provision is made for transportation container for delivery of space launch vehicle to aerodrome. Telemetric information measuring and tracking points are located on aeroplanes; they are made in form of mobile radio unit for reception of external information.
EFFECT: reduction of distance from launch site of space launch vehicle to point of separation of payload.

FIELD: space engineering.
SUBSTANCE: proposed method includes transportation of space launch vehicle to launching position, preparation for launch, raising the space launch vehicle to preset altitude by carrier-aircraft, separation from carrier-aircraft, stabilization of space launch vehicle and starting the engine plant of first boost stage. Space launch vehicle is transported to launching position in transportation-and-operation container. Then, container is transferred by means of crane to erection trolley, detachable compartments are dismantled and space launch vehicle is transported to carrier-aircraft. Space launch vehicle is secured to carrier-aircraft by means of locks of carrier-aircraft. Space launch vehicle is equipped with boost stages with solid-propellant engine plants, stabilization unit and units for attachment of launch vehicle to carrier-aircraft. It is also equipped with separable tail fairing and lattice stabilizers made in form of cylindrical panels which are secured on it. After bringing the space launch vehicle to preset altitude, locks of carrier-aircraft are opened by command and lattice stabilizers of tail fairing are opened simultaneously. After preset pause, before separation of space launch vehicle, tail fairing with lattice stabilizers is separated from space launch vehicle. Proposed method makes it possible to reduce launch mass and ensure stabilization on flight leg of safe distance from carrier-aircraft till moment of start of 1st stage engine plant.
EFFECT: extended field of application.

Divorce is a big deal even for adult kids
When a long-running marriage abruptly ends, childhood memories may be questioned.
By Chuck Barney, Contra Costa Times
Walnut Creek, Calif. - It was a bombshell of mind-boggling magnitude. In February, Kelly received a phone call from her mother, who tearfully delivered the grim news that Kelly's father was leaving her for another woman.
A marriage that produced four kids and lasted 42 years was about to die.
Kelly, who asked that her real name be withheld to protect her family's privacy, recalls being in a state of shock as she relayed the news to her sister and two brothers. Then she rushed to her childhood home in Oakland, where she found her mother sobbing and her father packing up to leave.
"I tried to comfort her, and I just yelled at him," she recalls. "It was so surreal, so terrible, so ugly. " I was just completely blindsided by it all."
Through the years, a great deal of attention and research has been focused on the corrosive impact divorce has upon young children. Conversely, it's often assumed that adult offspring, because they're mature and independent, are better equipped to take their parents' divorce in stride.
But often, that isn't the case. According to experts and those with firsthand knowledge, a late-life breakup between Mum and Dad can take a devastating toll on their adult offspring.
"For all those years, they've had a family structure and a reality that they could count on," says Audrey Silverman-Foote, a marriage and family therapist in Pleasant Hill, Calif. "Now, all of a sudden, that ground has been ripped out from under their feet. It can be incredibly distressing."
When a long-running marriage abruptly ends, childhood memories may be questioned (Was it all a facade?) and family customs thrown into disarray. In some cases, education or career plans may be threatened by financial issues. Moreover, adult children are often dragged into the mediation process.
And, in the coming years, more may experience the shock of it all. A 2009 survey conducted by Bowling Green State University researchers found that the divorce rate among older adults had doubled since 1980. They also predicted that, as baby boomers age, there will be "further growth" in the divorce rate for older adults.
Four months after learning about her parents' breakup, Kelly, a 35-year-old corporate retailer, is struggling to make sense of it. She sees her mother wracked with pain and feels helpless to do anything about it. Meanwhile, her "best friend" of a father, who used to call her nearly every day, has seen her only three times since February. And she fears that the home she grew up in will have to be sold.
"I honestly think that, in some ways, it's worse for someone my age to go through this than a young child," she says. "Little kids are resilient. They adapt as they grow up. I've had 34 years of Mom and Dad being together. I thought I had this perfect family, and it's all been shattered."
Kelly is also learning that a divorce at this stage of life can produce a dramatically different kind of fallout. When a split occurs in a home involving young children, conscientious parents generally try to present a united front and/or shield the kids from the brutal details of their breakup.
But older parents often expect, or demand, their adult offspring to take sides. And they tend to want to confide in them - sometimes to an uncomfortable extent.
"On the night my dad left, my mom told me some things about him I'd never heard before - things that made me even more mad," Kelly says. "It's awkward. My mom had always been a private person. Now, it's like she wants to act like a friend and tell me everything. It's a lot to handle."
Judy W. of Walnut Creek can relate. In the years after her parents' 35-year marriage crumbled, Judy's mom continually disparaged her father and revealed tawdry details about the relationship.
"She'd talk about what a rotten (person) he was and how he'd cheat on her with trashy women. And she'd talk about their sexual encounters - how he wouldn't touch her," recalls Judy, 64, who asked to withhold her full name. "It was disgusting. Time and time again, I told her, 'If you don't shut up, I'm not coming to visit."'
Richmond's Dawn Munson, who was 26 when her parents ended their 32-year marriage in 2000, had a similar problem as both her mother and father filled her in on the graphic details of their sex lives, arguments and other issues.
"If I had been 15 or younger, they wouldn't have told me a lot of that stuff," she says. "At one point, I got them both on the phone and set some ground rules. I drew a line in the sand. It was a weird kind of role reversal."
In the months following her parents' divorce, Munson often resented having to behave as the "grown-up" in certain circumstances.
"There was this expectation that my brother and I behave and react as adults rather than their children," she says. "But no matter how mature one is or how prepared you think you are, they're still your parents. My gut instinct was to throw a tantrum. I wanted to be sad and mad. I wanted to be treated with kid gloves."
That's a natural reaction, according to Janice Green, a veteran divorce attorney practicing in Austin, Texas, and author of "Divorce Over 50: Your Guide to the Unique Legal & Financial Challenges."
"It's the kind of rock-your world psychological punch that is hard to fathom if you haven't been through it yourself," she says.
In her more than 30 years on the job, Green has been privy to a number of messy divorce scenarios involving adult children. She has seen situations in which an offspring's role - and stake - in the family business becomes imperiled, and others in which parents battle over assets set aside for student loans or a down payment on a house for the son or daughter.
And once, she worked a case in which an adult daughter became a "super sleuth" who spied on her wayward father, hoping to catch him in an affair. The case was settled out of court, so the daughter didn't have to testify and her father didn't learn of her actions.
"Think about how that might have ripped the family apart," Green says. "You can imagine the kind of scars it would have left behind."
As for Kelly, she's hopeful that her scars will heal over time. But for now, the sense of loss is overwhelming. It doesn't help that, in the middle of it all, she's planning her own wedding for the fall.
"I always imagined that my dad would walk me down the aisle," she says. "But right now, I feel like I don't even know him."
Janice Green is an Austin, Texas, divorce attorney with more than 30 years of experience and is the author of "Divorce After 50: Your Guide to the Unique Legal & Financial Challenges." She offers some practical advice to adult children struggling with the divorce of their parents:
- If you go with a parent to meet with an attorney, keep in mind that the confidentiality privilege is just between the client and attorney. Give your parent a chance to be alone with the attorney to cover sensitive topics.
- If your parents are fighting in your presence, ask them to be civil. Parents tend to respect adult children who draw boundaries.
- Offer to help with time-consuming tasks, such as culling through financial records, especially when it is time to estimate living expenses, both current and future. Sorting through records and running calculations is overwhelming to anyone of any age going through a divorce. Your help can be a welcome relief for a parent who was not the marital bookkeeper.
- If your parents aren't communicating, consider the risks of acting as a messenger or an interpreter. There are times when they may need your help, but think twice before diving into their drama.
- Don't try to be a "super sleuth." Spying on a parent can backfire and is best left to investigation specialists. If testimony is needed, you do not want to be the one on the witness stand describing your mother's tryst escapade.
- Personal weaknesses and foibles are magnified during divorce. Taking sides is tempting and sometimes appropriate. But "divorcing" a parent can put you in a difficult position if reconciliation occurs. Also, alliances sometimes shift during a divorce.
- Help your parents design a new future. If your family home has to be sold, take photos, hold the memories and adapt with an adventuresome spirit.
- Telling grandchildren that grandma and grandpa are splitting can be a challenge. So much depends on the age of the children, their degree of closeness to the grandparents and how much acrimony is involved. Those very close to the grandchildren often want to be involved in the explanation and give reassurance that both grandparents will continue to adore them.

Delta Time...Ladd's this Weekend!
Don't miss out on the final California delta event of the year this weekend at Ladd's Marina in Stockton!
A FULL DAY event, combined with the cooling weather, should make the "summer-fall transition fishing" nothing short of fantastic!
If you are down, or "on the bubble" in the points race that qualify you for the 2017 Coors Light FPT Classic Championship...you do not want miss this one and possibly be left out of the 2017 Classic, as it provides a vehicle for each region PLUS $10,000 in cash to a field guarenteed to be no greater than 100 boats!
Registration starts at 4am, with "limited memberships" of just $10 available.
See you there!

Online Huna & Ho'oponopono
To Papa Henry Auwe & Mona Kahele: kumu and kupuna ... my Hawaiian teachers

'Oi kau ka lau, e hana i ola honua
Live your life while the sun still shines
Let's start with a Hawaiian perspective that
illness reflects a lack of balance between pono (living right) and
mana (life energy). Imbalances between pono and mana can result from unjust
acts, limiting beliefs, displeasing your living and dead ancestors, obsessions, etc. Disease
reflects unhealthy relationships
and true healing requires healthy relationships and healthy food.
Aunty Mona Kahele was the grand-daughter
of a Hawaiian kahuna and grew up near Kealakekua Bay on Hawaii. She was cousin to
Aunty Margaret Machado, from whom I learned Hawaiian lomilomi massage, and
hanai mother to my friends Chet and Suzanne Kamaluhia Woolley.
(Chet and Suzanne operate the Hale Ho'ola
health spa near Hawaii Volcanoes Park.)
Aunty Mona lived a very active life as a social
worker, and was honored by the governor of Hawaii for her work. (She gave me the
task and pleasure of
integrating many of her comments and handwritten notes about
ho'oponopono into a useful document for her students.)
Aunty Mona helped me develop my knowledge of
ho'oponopono gained from other teachers, and
guided me as I integrated hooponopono with the information about working
with dead spirits from Uncle John Kaimikaua of
Moloka'i, with the angel work (awaiku) of Aunty Miriam
Baker and with the methods of couple coaching and family therapy that I had
learned from family therapist
Annegret Hallanzy in
Germany. This strange brew became a basis for my Soulwork systemic coaching.
Aunty Mona wrote the book
Clouds of Memories,
a personal account of life in South Kona from the 1930s to the 1990s. Her
hanai (adopted) daughter Suzanne Kamaluhia Woolley continues Aunty Mona's
healing traditions at the
Hale Ho'őla
health spa in Ka'u.
He loli 'ole ke alo a'e, he paio koho -
(Change is
inevitable, struggle is optional)
Huna is a Hawaiian word for hidden or tiny thing,
a word popularized by
Max Freedom Long to refer to the philosophy and skills used by pre-Christian
Hawaiians, particularly the mystics and healers, although no accepted Hawaiian
sources refer to the word huna as any tradition of esoteric learning.
Max Long wrote that he derived huna from the word
kahuna, a priest or master craftsman, although kahu
means keeper and na means balance. An older Hawaiian word for magic is
ho'omanamana, literally "creating life force".
'Ohana is a Hawaiian word for community,
which were often remote villages. The old Hawaiians developed healing
techniques and their rituals for the health and harmony
of 'ohana. Here I attempt to describe 'ohana life. But first ...
slow down ... relax, take a deep breath ... imagine an older time ...
on a tropical island ... back in time ... to a small Hawaiian village ...
... where we
live together in a small community surrounded by a mysterious world and an
endless sea. We have known each other since birth, and most of us are
related. We believe we are descended from the same gods. We know the best
qualities of every person in our 'ohana, and we know their problems.
highest goal is that we live in harmony. Our basic wisdom includes aloha,
pono and kala. Aloha literally means, "we share breath" - and we share most
things. Aloha is our guiding principle for living together in harmony. Aloha
includes that we accept and acknowledge each person in our community. Pono
(living right) and forgiveness (kala) are also important parts of our daily life.
We recognize and thank our ancestors (kupuna),
our gods (akua) and our guardian spirits (aumakua) for all
that we enjoy. We each have a guardian spirit and each personal spirit is
part of our 'ohana guardian spirit (po'e
aumakua) that guides our community. Sometimes we ask our ancestors or
guardian spirits for help, and they often visit us in dreams.
Our wise elders (kupuna) and experts (kahuna)
help and guide us. We want harmony amongst ourselves, with nature, with other
tribes and with the strange spirit worlds. Our chiefs (ali'i)
are our wisest and bravest warriors; they provide stability and order
within the daily life of our 'ohana.
daily life is our religion; and we use many rituals to guide and help
ourselves. We are careful not to offend spirits; instead we try to please
them. Our elders help us by telling us what is right and what is forbidden
(kapu). We need life-energy (mana)
for all our actions. We create this life-energy (ho'omana) by living right.
We use old rituals to create our highest energy (ho'omanamana)
for special tasks of healing and power, with the guidance of our kupuna elders
and kahuna experts.
We respect our elders as the keepers of our wisdom and
as the teachers of our children. Our elders teach us the songs and chants
(mele) of our wisdom, and we must carefully learn them. Our elders
may choose children with special talents to be trained to become kahuna
- experts.
make our essentials, or we trade for them, and we build canoes and buildings
together. We often hunt and work together, and we can communicate well
without words. We are sensitive to details and know who has been in a
place, or whether strangers have passed by. Our navigator-kahunas
know every star and every current. On cloudy nights, away from land, they
can navigate by tasting the seawater!
Disease shows imbalance in our ohana.
Perhaps the diseased person has offended a family member, or an ancestor,
or a spirit. We call illnesses caused by relationships mawaho
while diseases caused by body imbalances are maloko. Mawaho
illnesses require
ho'oponopono with the living and the
dead, while maloko disease require herbal remedies (la'au
lapa'au) and massage (lomilomi). Both
may need the huna knowledge (ho'omanamana and
awaiku) of our healer-experts.
chants teach us our traditions. We chant to the goddess (Pele)
in the volcano, and her lover (Kamapua'a) in the forests. Pele's
sisters, Hi'iaka teach us to dance (hula) and to heal
many diseases. The high god (Kane) lives in the clouds, with wild Ku,
civilized Lono and the god of the underworld (Kanaloa). There
are four hundred thousand gods, we are told, all created by the first god,
We believe that Lono left and our kahuna-experts say
that he will return, on a floating island with white trees. We await this eagerly,
as Lono will bring us gifts. We thought that he returned once, but
that was a haole man who died at Kealakekua Bay, near the
village now called Captain Cook. We wait for Lono the god.
We need to be accepted and respected by other 'ohana members. If
we invite you into our 'ohana, we have simple rules: Do not insult anybody - instead,
respect our traditions. Do not violate our taboos - instead join us in our
rituals. Do not make the ancestors or nature spirits angry - instead work with
us in harmony, to keep balance with our ancestors, with local spirits, with
nature and with each other.
You are so civilized, and to you we may be ignorant savages.
You might call our traditions witchcraft. However, we
can show you how to live in peace with yourself, how to live in harmony with each
other and how to find your place in this world. We can teach you how to connect
to nature and the universe.
There are few of us left; most of us have been lost to
the diseases of mind, body and spirit that you call civilization. We are
exhausted - and we are nearly extinct. This is
sad, because our planet needs our love and our respect.
Do you believe that your life purpose is to save us from our
ignorance of your ways? We who yet remain struggle to
survive in remote places that you do not want ... yet. And when we are gone - we
will be gone forever. Can you help us come back?
Our heritage is harmony and balance. Your heritage is
technology and information. Will you help us work with you, to make a
technology that reflects a love of life, and information that helps us love
this living planet? We can learn how to live together
and create a global 'ohana. Too soon it will be too late.
Mahalo a nui loa (great thanks) for your great
gift of attention. A hui hou!

Alfatihah."Due to the overwhelming scientific evidence produced, the parents of Nurin Jazlin have decided to accept the body they inspected as of their daughter's.The above is the latest posting on the blog that was set up by an uncle for his niece that was reported missing 31 days ago. The blog was originally called In Search of Nurin.
The body will be claimed this morning and funeral (burial) would probably be held after Friday prayers today."
This morning, he changed it to In Search of Nurin (In Memory of Nurin).
The IGP said yesterday, here, that the cops will arrest Nurin's suspected killer soon.

Dear IGP,
We hope you can nab the suspect in due time and present a case strong enough for prosecution and conviction. If you and your team botched it again at the prosecution stage, you better think long and hard if you are worthy of the seat you are currently sitting in.
We know you are not the only one to bear such responsibility, all of us have some form of responsibility to bear to ensure a safe society for all, most especially the innocence ones, but we hope you can put aside your obsession carry over from a period that has long over, now that your once "arch-enemy", the communist bogeyman, had signed a peace treaty to cease all hostility with the government of Malaysia, so that we can ensure a safe and just Malaysia for all.
The less you consider Malaysian as the "enemy" through the show of strength of the police force in the recent case of Batu Burok incident, or the Altantuya case, the less energy we need to spend to restore civil order and public trust in you as an institution.
You can also put more effort in solving unsolved cases like the reported 16 other missing children and those missing since all those years so that the parents and their loved ones can come to term over their agony and many other serious crimes confronting our society. And we in the society can also concentrate on ensuring all have a chance to be part of Malaysia by building the human person through peace, justice and compassion.

Innalillah.. My heart goes out to adik nurin's family. Al-Fatihah.

The murderous bastards must be caught at ALL cost... and executed!!
I still say the Police should seek international forensic help knowing full well the below par competence of our police who are only well trained in harassing bloggers and protecting crooked politicians.
Bukit Aman boys should spend more time on the streets, instead of calling up bloggers, harassing bloggers, and protecting crooks.
Criminals are making a watching brief on the the disarray and the in-fighting between the IGP and the Deputy Minister for Internal Security to find opportunities to prey on innocents.
Wake up Bukit Aman !!! You are paid to look after the citizens not politicians.

Kalau ikut hati dan perasaan marah saya, tangkap penjenayah tu, kelar-kelar anggota badannya hingga dia mati atau rejam dia dengan batu hingga mati di khalayak umum.
Kejamkah saya atau sekejam penjenayah itukah saya? Bayangkan bagaimana si penjenayah itu menyeksa anak gadis kecil yang baru meneroka hidup di dunia. Bayangkan pula penyeksaan dan kesakitan, begitu juga pekik lolong dan tangisnya... keseorangan dan ketakutan selama 30 hari.
Kalau hukuman yang saya katakan itu dilaksanakan, kelak kuranglah atau mungkin tak ada manusia sadis yang berani mencuba-cuba menyeksa anak kecil lagi.
Ya, Tuhan. Berilah keadilan kepada arwah Nurin dan keluarganya.

Catch the beasts
The evil in human skin
Let there be no such thing
In a civilized society
Why it happens?
The evil doers in our midst
The lack of support
The systems of divide and rule
The drugs induced state
Looking at images object of desires
The plaything like toys
In the evil minds
It is just a thing to enjoy
The sick people
Our own kind turning bad
Running lose in the peaceful nation
Of God they don't care
And there is carelessness of parents
Letting go their responsibility
Thinking the children have grown
No need to supervise at all
Look what happen now
The evil snatches them away
The wolf in sheep skin
There is no end to eradicate
They live with us
The echo of the evil ways

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,

Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Masalahnya dengan Malaysia ni ialah undang2nya yang langsung tak kuat! Takde orang nak takut dengan undang-undang Malaysia yg tah hapa2! Rogol dan culik budak umur 12 tahun pun penjara 17 tahun je! Rogol pun penjara beberapa belas tahun je..mana ada orang nak takut! Cuba hukum sula ke..sula di khalayak ramai ke, baru la orang ni takut nak rogol orang lagi.
Sakit hati je ingat pasal undang-undang Malaysia ni!

May Nurin Jazlin rest in peace. The people who have done this should be caught. No excuses! After all from the newspapers, it appeared that they have left sufficient evidence about. It is appalling that amongst us live physchopaths and people who are mentally ill! We should really analyse these people like animals and see what causes them to be this brutal and lock them up forever! As for people who are blaming the parents, all i can say is that some malaysians are just so silly that you cant reason with stupidity!
May god bless her soul and give her family the strength to endure the future.

I don' understand why there isn't any mandatory punishment for this kind of cases. come up with death sentence (as the child is dead now) then only we called the justice has served. and eye for eye. you take life of someone, then he shld pay for it too. why put him or her in jail for yrs and served them with food and after that let them go??? to do another crime?? why dont cut short thier life so that the police can take care of some other cases. now it has come to this, after 20 yrs of the same case happened , now only the authority opening thier eyes wide?????? my... they must be sleeping, watching tv, omong-omong at the station and at night thinking of making babys,.,.,.,

First and for most, I would like to congratulate our smart IGP, our briliant Minister in the prime dept, (what the idiot name ah? - Nazri, I think) and the Killer for being a bloddy cold SOB. Yah ... that what I should term them as for. No .. The family do not need sympaty from them, however empathy would be justified.
Yah, yah, let throw every parent in jail for negligent for allowing their children to school unescorted, don't parent know that their children can be kidnap along the way. That negligent, then our "smart" IGP can bring you to court and the "parrot" minister will say yah yah yah.
Sigh ... What is it becoming of our country. However, My condolence to the parent of Nurin.

Saya rasa sebagai orang awam kita boleh mendesak agar pihak berkuasa menggubal undang2 yang lebih ketat terhadap penjenayah sosial.Telah sekian lama timbul rasa tidak puas hati terhadap undang2 negara yg di pandang terlalu ringan kepada penjenyah. Mungkin kita terlalu takut orang luar memandang kita sebagai ekstrem?
Disamping itu marilah kita sama2 menilai diri kita, cara hidup kita. 5,6 tahun dulu kes2 bunuh atau jenayah seprti ini adalah sesuatu yang jarang berlaku. Kini perkara ini hampir menjadi kebiasaan. Adakah ini kesan sampingan dari proses pembangunan negara kita.(Di negara membangun lain kejadian spt ini adalah perkara biasa)Apakah cara hidup kita mengundang bala sepeti ini?Apakah ini ada kaitan dengan perubahan dalam mayarakat kita sekarang,dimana maksiat seperti zina, dan video lucah menjadi perkara biasa?

- 8:39 am
I have a daughter of Nurin's age hence a whole lot of thinking goes on and on in my head - 1. I noticed that all pictures of Nurin (who is already pretty) seem to be posing for the camera or made up with some sort of light make up. I think in these days where there seem to be young mat indons, banglas, myanmars and vietnams at every turn, we have to take more precaution with children and dress them accordingly especially at public places. 2. programs on TV such as Tom Tom Bak frightens me more nowadays with children made-up and dressed up to look like adults from the gowns, to the hairdo and the make-up! The fact is we just do not know which pervert gets a kick/ a high from this!! I think all parents should WAKE-UP and reconsider the many things we have taken for granted. Most security guards are foreigners so do not assume that there is security just because we see blue uniforms (which by the way can be bought anywhere). Pepper spray / or something appropriate should be considered for children who walk home or take public transport to school. A better idea would be if all schools could purchase a bus of their own with some some of help from government + PIBG where they pay minimum to go home after school or extra activities.
- 11:39 pm
How is it the police are unable to determine the face or the registration number plate of the motor bike/ kenari that was spotted by the cctv where Nurin's body was found?
Is there a conspiracy here? Is Malaysia a safe place for our children in years to come?
- 4:43 pm
Apa sudah jadi dengan kes Nurin? berhenti begitu saja???? saya bersama keluarga takut hendak pergi ke Malaysia selepas mendengar bermacam2 kisah pembunuhan dan penyiksaan kanak-kanak. saya suka bawa keluaraga bercuit ke KL tapi sekarang hilang keghairahan timbul ketakutan selagi pembunuh-pembunuh belum diketahui............

January 16, 2013 (GRIFFITH, Ind.) --A Northwest Indiana woman has been searching for a new home for a stray dog that she found wandering outside in a blizzard.
Andrea Kutzko found "Buddy" in a snowstorm in Griffith, Ind. on January 5th. Kutzko says she tried dropping the dog off at animal shelters around her area, but they're all filled to capacity and don't have space.
"We would never have imagined our Animal Control office could not take a stray dog," Kutzko said. "Our option was to care for him ourself or euthanize."
Kutzko and her family have set up a Facebook page to find a new home for Buddy: Buddy and the Blizzard.
Buddy appears to be a pit bull terrier mix, and displays some food aggression, which is not uncommon for dogs found on the street. Anyone interested in adopting Buddy should contact Kutzko through Buddy's Facebook page.

According to a study by imobiliare.ro, 15.5% of the offers have a monthly rent of over 1,000 Euro. A press release from the real estate portal said that "On a market that is still in full crisis, 15.5% of the apartments for rent on imobiliare.ro are for the high end segments. Thus, 1,107 of the 7,173 apartments for rent have a monthly rent of over 1,000 Euro". The most expensive apartment is a 450 square meter penthouse in Herastrau, whose monthly rent is 6,800 Euro, the equivalent of 14 gross average salaries in Romania. Across the country, the most expensive apartment for rent in Cluj demands a monthly rent of 1,500 Euro, in Timisoara, 1,250 Euro per month, while in Constanta, the most expensive housing for rent is 1,700 Euro.

Thread: Cheap (<200$) DIY wood router
02-08-2016 #1
Hi folks!
I have been working on a low budget CNC machine design on and off for a couple of years now. This has resulted in my 3.rd design iteration, by which I consider the design done.
It's a low budget machine, so don't expect high speeds, precision and metal capabilities. I have routed stuff requiring <1mm precision without any problems though.
I managed to keep the complete build below 200$ here in Denmark, and I guess it could be done cheaper elsewhere since prices are in the high end here. The price includes everything: nuts, bolts, wood, stepper motors, electronics, dremel tool (a cheaper copy of a dremel that is) etc...
I have made a BOM, some description, packed all necessary drawing files and taken a lot of detail photos of the machine. It is all available for free on my webpage: http://www.nengineering.dk/cnc-machi...ow-budget-cnc/
The work is released under a CC license, which you can see on the webpage as well.
I really hope the design will be of use to some of you!
Best regards,
25-02-2017 #2
I have made an instructable for this machine: https://www.instructables.com/id/Low-Budget-CNC/
I have also made a complete 3D model in Fusion 360 so that people can take a closer look at the design. The 3D model is found in the instructable
25-02-2017 #3
Hi Nic and welcome to the forum. Personally I think you have made a nice job of this it is a credit to you.
You have been realistic with what you have said about it in that the accuracy is around 1mm and for 200$ it is affordable for any body just wanting to play without spending say £2000 to get a decent machine.
It is something which you could build and throw away if you wanted without breaking the bank..Clive
The more you know, The better you know, How little you know
25-02-2017 #4
There is one big problem in building a cheap, "throw-away", machine. It gives you the taste for something just a little bit bigger. Just a little bit stronger. Just a little bit faster. Then you end up building a machine that is quite capable of destroying itself along with any body parts carelessly left in its path...
It's fun, though

Gulf Coast Soccer is pleased to welcome world-renowned Coerver Coaching to the Gulf Coast Soccer Complex July 23-27, 2018. We invite players from all clubs to participate in this unique and fantastic soccer camp!
The Coerver® 5-Day Play Like the Stars Camp develops individual skill in all areas of the game with emphasis on Ball Mastery and beginning Move Sets. Great players have masterful control of the ball or "technical skill". Technical skill can be taught and players attending this camp will be introduced to a variety and skills throughout the week that will raise their competency on the ball and improve their game.
Coerver Camp Intro Video: https://youtu.be/8V1a3b0s-LE
The secret to the Coerver method is teaching sharp footwork and expert ball control by breaking down each move into components and then progressing players until their technique is second nature. Once a move is mastered, players learn to do them even quicker, at game speed. The key is focused repetition and deliberate practice. Soon, complex footwork becomes instinctive and a creative player is born!

Coerver® Summer camps are designed for players who want to improve their skills and game effectiveness. Our aim is to develop confident and creative players while teaching essential social skills such as good sportsmanship and respect, in addition to a good attitude to practice and play.
Campers receive a progressive series of instruction in:
- Ball Mastery
- Receiving and Passing
- 1v1 Attacking Skills
- Speed (including the speed of thought)
- Finishing
- Group Play
All this results in improving player's ball control, 1v1 skills, creativity, speed of play and overall Soccer IQ.
During this summer camp program, players will be taught mirror moves that emulate some of the greatest soccer players of our time. Each day a different 'Star Player" will be the curriculum focus making it an exciting training session for players
There 3 are distinct levels in our summer camp program:
- Level 1 for ages 7-11
- Level 2 for ages 10-14
- Level 3 for ages 14 and older

To continue our series about the departments of the museum, today we are talking to Michael Bendure of the communications department.
Name: Michael Bendure
Job title: Director of Communication
Educational background: Bachelor of Arts degree in communication, emphasis in journalism, University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma
Why did you want to work in a museum? During my previous role as News Bureau Director at the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma (my alma mater), I was chiefly responsible for writing tons and tons of press releases. Occasionally I was given the opportunity to write reviews about student art exhibitions and art shows in the university's art gallery. This, combined with a lifelong love of visual and performing arts, piqued my interest to work in an arts environment. When the opportunity to work at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art came about nearly five-and-a-half years ago, I leapt at the chance.
How is museum PR different from PR in other organizations? For one, there is ALWAYS something happening. Between amazing exhibitions, rotating permanent collection galleries, works on loan, incoming art gifts, multiple educational programs, and community and campus collaborations, the art museum stays hopping and has no shortage of news and information to report. It's also a very creative environment by nature. One specific difference is that I get the opportunity to work with multiple students. For example, this spring, I have been supervising six student interns at once.
What kinds of publications do you oversee for the museum, and why are these publications important? I oversee the majority of all external (and sometimes internal) forms of communication about the museum. This includes the obvious things like press releases, advertisements, social media, and monthly electronic newsletters, as well as exhibition-specific materials such as gallery guides and the occasional catalogue. Each of these publications serves a different purpose or addresses a different audience, so it's important to maintain as much consistency as possible with regard to writing styles and museum and university practices. Every form of communication says something about the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, whether directly or implied, and my hope is to continually offer accurate, positive information about what makes the FJJMA an amazing museum.
Describe what your typical day looks like. I can honestly say that every day is different – which is why I wear comfortable shoes. Some days I am stuck behind my computer and barely interact with another human for 8 hours. Some days I barely touch the keyboard and am on my feet giving guest tours or taking photographs. I spend a lot of time managing media relations – for example, answering media inquiries and requests, such as image and content needs or scheduling interviews. From writing to editing to photographing to setting up sound systems and more, I wear many hats. I've learned to enjoy the rare quiet times and be ready to jump at a moment's notice. Just because the calendar says the day is clear doesn't mean it won't all change in an instant!
What is your favorite part of your job? I think my favorite thing is working with great people, in the museum, in the media, and in the community. I am fortunate to be part of a museum staff that feels very much like family most of the time. I have made some important friendships, so coming to work often doesn't feel like "work" so much as another day helping make this unique organization run at full steam. It also doesn't hurt to be surrounded by incredible, changing artwork all the time.

Yesterday, I was told that I was incredibly selfish, naive, the owner of a hyper-inflated ego and self-worth, unprofessional, lacking in moral character, inconsiderate, arrogant, unworthy of respect, short-sighted, deluded by my parents' praise and those of my peers, having communications skills worse than the person's two year old, and too incredibly young to understand how things worked in the real world.
I suppose in their defense, it was a sudden thing to do, to ask to speak with them on Monday and tell them that I was going to quit at the end of the month which was essentially a week away. According to them, I was a breaker of my contract, a contract of at will employment which does include a clause of a request for four weeks notice and additional time if possible. According to them the at will portion of the contract only means that it is not a set time contract. According to what I have read about at will contracts, at will means either party can cease the terms of employment at any time for any cause. Linguistically, the clause about four weeks was a request and not a requirement. Though I have noticed that they are the sort to arrange contracts in their favor, after all, the source of my original disgruntlement was that we had a verbal agreement that I had flexible hours and could work from home. I had wanted the contract to be edited, but was brushed off with a "that is just a standard contract," just for formalities' sake. Uncomfortable with that brush off as I had been with the brush off when I had requested to know more about their business plan. I was told vague hopes and desires, but nothing concrete. Either there existed an actual plan which I was too unimportant to know or that was all there was.
To put things in perspective, this is/was a, including me, three person company, myself being the only code/electrical developer. I walked in to a device with essentially zero documentation and mangled code-base. I spent the first month just trying to wade through ~4-5 thousand lines of code, much of it not in use and create documentation from analyzing the only working device that I was not comfortable taking apart to figure out for fear of breaking the only semi-working model I had. The second month was caught up in the company moving to a new location, my contracting and recovering from strep throat, and strange issues that cropped up which could not be easily determined were physical or code-inspired. Finally this month, they were determined to be physical mechanical/electrical issues. This past month has been spent writing about 3,500 lines of new code using a completely different approach, focusing on timing and accuracy. Continue reading "Attacks Ad Hominem"
