At any given time there are thousands of large conferences held all over the globe. Many of these conferences are mere make-belief, they are set up by conference organisers in hope of extracting good money from conferences goers in order to make a profit. They are not infrequently organized by equally dodgy open access outfits in the publishing industry. I won't mention names here, but you know who you are.
Then there are other conferences where one wonders why they still exist in the form and shape in which they are held. A case in point is the International AIDS Conference. This biennial event was held in 2014 for the 20th time, this time in Melbourne, Australia. In the old days the location of this conference was considered to be an important political decision, as its mere magnitude guaranteed the AIDS community in the host country a high public profile for their cause. The good and great would come to address the conference (Bob Geldof and Bill Clinton offered the necessary glitz in Melbourne) and say nice things about people with HIV/AIDS and – more recently - the need to provide affordable medicines to people in developing countries. Well, that was after the advent of life-preserving medication. Prior to that there was a much more real sense of urgency, people fought over trial designs and the meaning of however fragile trial outcomes and unjust discrimination against people with HIV and AIDS. One conference, held in South Africa, was addressed farcically by an ANC government representative steeped in deep denial about the role of HIV in AIDS.
Today AIDS is primarily a disease killing the world's poor. That's true for the USA, but really this uncomfortable fact holds true for the global south. Access to affordable medicines has greatly improved, but millions who could clinically benefit from HIV medicines have to date no affordable access. Worse, the economic crisis in the West meant a scaling back of donor programs, leaving those who managed to access life-preserving medicines in some instances with unexpectedly having nowhere to turn to due to program closures. A great deal of managerial incompetence and corruption in countries in sub-Saharan Africa means that people in need of HIV medicines are not receiving them. Preventable deaths occur frequently.
Given this background, holding a conference such as this in Melbourne, Australia, of all places, truly borders on the absurd. Between 14,000 and 16,000 conference goers flew from all over the world to attend this latest AIDS talkfest in a rich location where HIV/AIDS, frankly, affects a fairly small, very well clinically cared for number of people. Much as I appreciate the joy that must come to North American and European conference goers from travelling to Down Under, this has been a truly bizarre location to hold this conference in.
Nothing much was truly achieved by this giant assault on our environment courtesy of thousands of academics and activists circumventing the globe to talk to each other in an endless stream of sessions and meetings. In the age of email and tools such as Skype that could have been achieved with less environmental destruction.
So, talking about conference ethics (I will trademark this term!), is it unreasonable to ask of organisers of such conference to consider only locations where actually large numbers of people still fight to survive this disease and perhaps give locations a miss where AIDS has become a manageable chronic condition, and where the civil rights of HIV infected people are thankfully well protected?
I quietly assumed to this point that much is served by holding such gigantic meetings at all, alas I am skeptical. After all, relevant clinical research will be published quickly in relevant journals these days, the time delay is negligible, researchers will know each other by means of email or Skype or teleconferences. Activists worth their money would have figured out ways to let their donor monies go further by not attending these talkfests and spending the cash instead on actual work aimed at furthering their objectives.
Guess if travellers in the AIDS business need to travel - usually on other's dime - at least they ought to travel to places where much work needs to be done, not to places that are comparably well-off. Perhaps not as nice as Melbourne, but slightly more justifiable.

SANFORD — While Seminole County commissioners agreed Monday to cut their proposed road-improvement impact fees in half to satisfy home builders, the two parties will huddle again to discuss a compromise on proposed water and sewer connection fee increases.
At a work session, commissioners agreed to lower the $1,000-a-house impact fee for road improvements to $500 and the $4-per-square-foot fee to $1.50 for commercial and industrial development. The compromise was reached after the Home Builders Association of Mid-Florida questioned the ''inordinately high'' fees proposed by the county staff.

Primarily, our focus for worship is to Meet God. We hope that whenever we gather, whether as church, cluster or cell, we will meet and encounter Him through the Holy Spirit.
Encountering God in worship in this way is both dynamic and life-changing. We seek to be Jesus-centred and open to God and His Spirit. We believe in releasing musicians to express their gifts at all levels of our church community.
We aim to provide a vocabulary for the church to respond to what God is doing in our hearts and lives, both individually and as a body.
Worship is for His glory. It is for His renown, His name, His honour. Being able to partake in corporate worship is a tremendous privilege; being able to lead others into worship as part of the worship team is an even greater one.
Worship is all about bringing God worth, about magnifying the Magnificent and encouraging others to do the same. It is not a ministry of self. The great reformer, Martin Luther, once said:
"Next to theology, I give music the highest place and honour. Music is the art of the prophets, the only art that can calm the agitation of the soul; it is one of the most magnificent and delightful gifts God has given us."
At STC Sheffield, we aim to glorify Jesus in all we do, and we are looking for servant hearted musicians to do the same. Worship is as much about tidying the stage when no one is watching, as it is about playing your instrument in front of hundreds. As a worship team, we are here to serve Jesus and His church with our hearts, lives and skills.
Join the Worship Team
We are always looking out for musicians with the right character and skill to join our dynamic worship team here at STC Sheffield. If you'd like to get involved, please fill out the application form below and a member of the team will be in touch with you shortly.
Any question regarding applications or STC Worship should be addressed to email@example.com

text: PLATTSBURGH Champlain Centre mall is undergoing several changes, both inside and outside the Smithfield Boulevard property. The most notable change to the mall is the significant progress in the construction of the long-awaited Target store. With a scheduled opening date of Oct. 12, the approximately 127,000-square foot Target has added new retail space to the malls previous footprint. The mall is reconstructing its entrance next to Best Buy and adding a new covered walk-way to the food court entrance as part of the overall project. Inside the mall, Target store leader Jason Baril and his team have set-up shop across from the food court where they are accepting applications for the more than 150 positions to be filled. Other new stores to the mall include Hollister, which is being constructed across from Maurices and next to Journeys. Hollister offers hip, casual clothing for young adults that reflect a trendy California style. The store is scheduled to be open in time for the holiday shopping season. Motherhood Maternity in another new store that has come to the centre and opened next to Old Navy. The store offers a large selection of maternity fashions. Existing stores which have moved within the mall include Deb Shop, which has moved into a brand-new store next to New York & Company. The new store is about 1,000-square-feet larger than their previous store. The Shoe Department has moved from their old location into a brand new and expanded store across from Borders. Auntie Annes has moved into a brand new store at a new location that is across from CJ Banks and next to Maurices. Also, Ritz Camera, has moved into a new location near the food court and next to FYE. The changes at the centre have energized both shoppers and tenants. With all the construction activity, its an exciting time for the mall, Champlain Centre general manager Dave Napolitan said in a recent press release. We have a great mix of tenants to offer our shoppers and expect our traffic to continue to grow. We anticipate a very busy Black Friday and a strong holiday season.

The damming of the Saguenay brought industrialisation on a grand scale to rural Quebec in the form of newsprint and aluminum manufacture. Tapping into rich and diverse sources in Canada, the United States, and Europe, Massell provides an interdisciplinary, cross-border study of American capital and Canadian resources. He shows us how ever-larger amounts of capital yielded increasingly massive and sophisticated applications of hydroelectric technology. Grand industrial plans, in turn, encroached upon provincial water rights and farmers' lands, which drew the attention of the state. He examines the protracted power struggle between public and private interests - between American capitalists and the nascent bureaucracy of the province of Quebec - and describes the origins and evolution of the events that led to state control over hydraulic resources in the province. In doing so he provides vivid portraits of Duke and of Quebec politicians of the period and gives a dramatic account of the protracted battle of wits between Duke's chief engineer, William States Lee, and Quebec's chief of Hydraulic Service, Arthur Amos. Amassing Power speaks to the integration of North American economies, vividly illustrating the process by which American capital drew Canada's resource-rich North into the economic orbit of the United States.manufacture and sale of chemical fertilizers at the turn of the century with assets by 191 1 of over $58 million.

What is the first question you are asked when you meet someone at a business or social function? "Hi, my name is …. What do you do?"
If you are the VP, CEO or have another prestigious title, the answer comes automatically and easily often with a tone of pride in your voice.
Let's dissect the conversation for a moment and notice you aren't really answering the question in the way it's being asked. In our culture, we often answer the "What do you do?" question with an "I am …" answer.
Never mind that in doing so, we aren't really answering the question; more importantly, is what you do really who you are? Read the rest of the article here in my post for Smartblog for Leadership …

The RSPCA is grateful for the opportunity to
contribute a submission to the inquiry which the Agriculture Committee
is undertaking regarding Organic Farming.
The Society is concerned that organic farming
is often perceived as being synonymous with high standards of
farm animal welfare. However, this perception, as well as many
of the claims about the quality aspects of organic food appear
to be without foundation.
This was highlighted recently by the Advertising
Standards Authority, when claims that, "organic means healthy
happy animals" was seen to be unfounded, as were some of
the claims relating to the quality aspects of organic food. Indeed,
the Head of the Food Standards Agency, Sir John Krebs was recently
reported as saying that there was no evidence that organic food
was healthier than conventionally produced food and that in his
opinion, people were not getting value for money.
In relation to specific animal welfare issues,
the RSPCA is concerned that many of the organic standards as currently
written are ambiguous in their wording, which leaves them open
to subjective interpretation when implemented on the farm. Furthermore,
it is often difficult to ascertain from which branch of science
they have been developed as there are many examples where organic
standards impose apparently arbitrary rules, some of which conflict
with widely accepted standards of animal health care.
The editorial comment in the most recent newsletter
of the Animal Welfare Science Ethics and Law Veterinary Association
(AWSELVA) expressed deep concerns regarding the welfare status
of organically produced poultry, which are often portrayed by
organic protagonists as being reared under the highest possible
welfare standards.
Although no farming system can claim to be perfect,
when the moral high ground is used to substantiate apparent claims
that one system is much better than the rest, as has been the
case with organic production, it deserves further investigation.
To this end the RSPCA welcomes the fact that the Agriculture Committee
is examining this method of food production.
A detailed appraisal of organic livestock production
is beyond the scope of this brief submission but, as an example,
if we consider organic egg production, the first general point
to be recognised is that there is considerable variation within
the present spectrum of organic standards. Standards for the various
organic schemes range from those which differ very little from
a conventional set of standards, for example the British Egg Industry's
egg production criteria, to those which are much more stringent
and nearer to the organic ideal of small units and low stocking
densities etc.
The details contained within organic standards
should also come under much greater scrutiny. For example, it
simply does not follow that a low stocking density inside the
hen house in conjunction with the length of popholes required
under the organic standards is in the best interests of the birds.
There may be more room to dustbathe and generally for the birds
to find their way around, but conversely, there may be problems
with maintaining an adequate thermal environment and difficulties
in maintaining litter quality. There is therefore greater potential
for the welfare of the birds to be compromised, particularly as
levels of aggression in small units can often exceed those in
larger units.
It is also slightly misleading to claim that
birds are fully organic, when there do not appear to be any coherent
pullet rearing standards, and that birds are therefore reared
conventionally for the first 25 per cent of their life up to the
point of lay. This is confusing, because the EU Regulation 1804/1999
states that poultry must be reared in open range conditions.
However, when pullet rearing standards are eventually
developed, there will be a number of important welfare issues
which will need serious consideration. The organic philosophy
of turning juvenile birds outside during the rearing phase, can
in itself present welfare problems. The risk of exposure to viruses,
bacteria and parasites as well as the risks from vermin and predators
may increase levels of disease in these young birds. The natural
corollary of this is that mortality rates may rise.
The naive theory advanced by some sectors of
the organic movement is that the birds will develop a natural
immunity by exposure to these agents, but this may prove difficult
to achieve in practice and an increase in serious conditions such
as Marek's and Newcastle disease may prevail, if birds are not
vaccinated. One factor which may help to reduce the incidence
of Marek's disease other than vaccination, is avoiding undue stress
on the birds. With a low stocking density and potentially poorer
air quality and increased levels of aggression as noted above,
this again may prove difficult.
In the area of livestock nutrition, the recent
decision by the United Kingdom Register of Organic Food Standards
(UKROFS) to prohibit the use of synthetic amino acids in the diets
of animals has the potential to compromise the welfare of monogastric
animals, due to some of these amino acids being a limiting factor
in these diets. The issue could be compounded if certain proteins
such as fishmeal are also restricted. An example of the result
of a deficiency of these essential amino acids are poor feather
quality in poultry. Organic diets applied to some modern breeds
of livestock may therefore be insufficient to keep the animals
in full health and vigour; a basic principle of animal welfare.
The increased sales and the influx of foreign
organic products into supermarkets, further begs the question
as to how some of these animals are being fed, ie is it possible
that there is a less stringent implementation of the organic rules
in other countries?
Other animal health issues are also of great
concern to the RSPCA. The EU Regulation 5.4b actually states that
if the use of the above products (phytotherapeutic) should
not prove, or is unlikely to be, effective in combating illness
or injury, and treatment is essential to avoid suffering or distress
to the animal, chemically-synthesised allopathic veterinary medicinal
products or antibiotics may be used under the responsibility of
a veterinarian. The RSPCA believes that the area of veterinary
medicine use in organic production requires a major review in
the interests of animal welfare. It is unwise to consider using
any treatment which is unlikely to be effective on a farm animal.
Many health conditions of farm animals equate to immediate pain
and therefore require a treatment which is proven. Any procrastination
will compromise the welfare of the animal.
Also, within this context, organic standards
do not appear to specify any maximum number of alternative treatments
which one may try before resorting to a conventional treatment.
This may encourage some farmers to wait unnecessarily for the
outcome of the alternative treatment, which may not be to the
benefit of the animal.
The second element to this problem is that,
under organic rules, if a conventional treatment is used, there
may be a withdrawal period associated with this treatment which
is much longer than that required by EU and UK regulations before
food may be marketed. To some farmers the associated economic
penalties of losing the organic premium on the food they are producing
may be unacceptable.
The RSPCA has evidence to suggest that as a
result of this, some farmers are not treating their animals as
quickly as they should. One example of this is a case where a
farmer was treating a cow for digital dermatitis. The planned
treatment was a topical application of antibiotic spray. Instead
of using this he decided to use an organic approved alternative
remedy, because he did not want to withdraw his milk from the
organic market because of the financial consequences. If this
alternative remedy was to prove ineffective, the cow would certainly
have suffered as a result.
The epithet of "more is better" appears
to run through many of the organic standards, but as noted above,
longer withdrawal periods, more pophole space, more floorspace
and the use of alternative therapies may compromise farm animal
welfare. Whilst sales of organic products in supermarkets continue
to rise, with a significant proportion of these products coming
from abroad, it would appear prudent to scrutinise the animal
welfare aspects associated with the production of these products
in much more detail.
In conclusion, the RSPCA would welcome an independent
examination of organic standards and, more importantly, their
implementation at the farm level to determine the extent to which
animal health and welfare is being compromised by organic rules.
Ideally, this review should be undertaken by the veterinary profession
with the aim of advising on how organic rules should be amended
in the interests of animal welfare.

The Oral Steroids Winstrol & Anavar:The Oral Steroids Winstrol & Anavar:The Oral Steroids Winstrol & Anavar:vWhile both of these oral steroids can be used for both bulking and cutting, most male anabolic steroid users will be better served using them as a part of a leaning or cutting cycle. Neither drug will produce abundant gains in size but they serve as a well refined tool in terms of holding on to strength as well as helping produce a harder physique. As it pertains to Winstrol, some may find a more suitable use during an off-season period in conjunction with other anabolic steroids; an increase in strength is always a welcomed attribute but do not expect to see the scale move upward in serious fashion due to Winstrol use. The same cannot be said of Anavar; most men will find Anavar suited only for cutting cycles but be aware, there are far better suited anabolic steroids we can use for this purpose but don't be fooled, Anavar does have a place in both bulking and cutting cycles. Anavar is not only one of the best oral steroids for females it is one of the best anabolic steroids for female's period. Due to its very mild effects Anavar is one of the safest anabolics a woman can use and in general at a very low dose and still see fantastic results. Anavar can be successfully used by women during both bulking and cutting cycles quite well.

Hi all,
Welcome to my post for the October session of Fermentation Friday hosted by CNYBrew. This months topic "Remember why we brew" made me really think why do I brew. Well I brew for the love the beer. What better way to learn about my favorite beverage then to make it myself. I have tried hundreds of different beers from all over the country and world. While drinking many of these beers I always wondered how did they get that great citrus aroma or that great chocolate taste. I had to find out for myself so I started brewing. I just started out with something simple a nice amber ale due to the fact that I felt an amber ale has a little of everything that is good in the beer world. Good hop and malt flavors of aroma but not overly powerful in any one area. It was amazing to drink your first beer your drink. It may be good or it may be bad but its yours. Once you pop open your first beer and try it you realize there is a whole new world available to you. You can add as much hops you want, you can make it as strong or as weak as you want, you can add any kind of fruit, spice, or herb that you want. Its your beer! Heck you can even make someone elses beer but its still your beer.
So why do I brew! I brew cause I want to make my beer. I want to take the best of what I like from each beer I taste to possibly create the perfect beer. Is it possible to make the perfect beer? I don't know but I am sure going to try. That is why I brew!!
Thanks again to CNYBrew for hosting this month. See you all next month!!

BARRIER Surgical Mask Standard
Standard surgical masks: Effective protection with high comfort
The BARRIER® Surgical Mask Standard assortment consists of surgical masks with high filtration capacity and low breathing resistance. The surgical masks in this assortment are proposed for use during dry surgery, when there is no risk of splashes. These masks are classified as type II in the EN14683 European standard surgical masks.
Low breathing resistance makes it easier to breathe and is more comfortable over long periods
High level of bacterial filtration efficiency reduces the spread of bacteria to the air in the operating theatre
Clear evidence for use of mask in clean air operating theatres
Bacterial shedding, wound contamination and clinical infection rates in clean wounds are influenced by staff clothing in the operating theatre. This was shown in a study performed in the UK, with the aim of clarifying the relative contribution of headwear, masks and clothing to the control of wound contamination in both ultraclean and conventional airflow operating theatres. The study concludes that headwear, masks and clothing with elastic cuffs should be worn by all staff in ultraclean-air operating theatres1.

Also meant to say, just as a suggestion.......I do wish that some of the girls would show more teeth.....with big gorgeous smiles. Sometimes, the subdued look can get a bit boring. Just my opinion.
I have just re-visited all of Lenny's shoots. In my opinion, she is one of the most naturally pretty girls in Catherine's pool. Even with limited makeup, this lady is stunning. I sincerely hope that we get more opportunities to see her.
Catherine you have to learn a lot to make exciting photo shoots
I thing the members they don't want to pay for this boring soft erotica shit.

Jessica Anderson, APRN, WHNP, AGN-BC
My story begins in 1986. My mother was 31 years old. She was married with two small girls, 8 and 4 years old. She found a lump in her breast….but 31 year olds don't get cancer. It must be benign. She was told to watch it for a few months to see if it "goes away." Two months later she returned to her doctor and pressed for further evaluation. A mammogram lead her to biopsy where she was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 31. She was treated with a radical left breast mastectomy and removal of 19 lymph nodes. All nodes were negative. She came home to her young family with a scar and staples where her left breast had been.
Fast forward four years, my mother, now 35 years old, has 11 and 7 year old daughters. Life is busy. She is a math teacher and volleyball coach. We live at the gym. Her teams of girls are my idols. I get off the bus every day at volleyball practice where I shag balls, toss for drills, and work on my own developing skills.
Cheedy Jaja, PhD, MPH, MN,
ISONG Member, Dr. Cheedy Jaja, an associate professor of nursing at the University of Cincinnati, is a man on a mission to create better awareness of the disease in Sierra Leone. There is growing recognition that sickle cell disease (SCD) represents an increasing global health burden. While remarkable progress has been made toward a better understanding and improved survival of patients with SCD in the United States, the fate of sickle cell disease babies in Sierra Leone is largely determined even before they are born. Up to 90 percent of the babies will die before their 5th birthday because of anemia, malaria and bacterial infections.
In July, 2017, Dr. Jaja was able to establish the first specialty clinic for sickle cell disease in the country. The Sickle Cell clinic provides free monthly health exams for 120 children with the disease. Click here for the complete article and for more photos

Carolyn Allen, DNP, CRNP-F, MS-Genetics
I graduated from GWU in 2010 from the Family Nurse Practitioner program. This is my third career change, or should I say transition. I was a genetic counselor for a few years before going to nursing school. After completing my BSN, I worked in hospital settings for medical/surgical, psychiatrics, and pulmonary for a few years. As soon as an opportunity availed itself, I finally came back to maternal child health. The bulk of my nursing career (15 years) was in-patient obstetrics. My long term vision had been to combine the advanced practice nursing career with the genetics component and be a nurse educator in a university hospital setting.
On a personal note I was born and raised in the District of Columbia. I am married to my high school "friend" and we have four children ranging ages 25 to 15 years old. We live in the suburbs of Maryland (just minutes away from Washington, D.C). I presently work as an independent contractor in a variety of settings: ob/gyn office, urgent care, and veteran's disability claims.

Rebecca S. Koszalinski, PhD, RN, CRRN, CMSRN, HT(ASCP)
Rebecca is an Assistant Professor at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. She began her healthcare career by first earning a diploma in histotechnology at St. Joseph's School of Histotechnology through a joint venture with the Marshfield Clinic in Marshfield, Wisconsin. There, she discovered a deep love for science. After briefly working in the pathology lab at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, she returned to Wisconsin to pursue a degree in nursing at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. Later, she completed a Master's in Education and a PhD at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, FL. Following completion of the PhD, she attended the Summer Genetics Institute at the National Institutes of Health (Class of 2015). It was there that Rebecca remembered her passion for science. Her love of investigational work related to causes and results of illness and disability was rekindled. She notes that Histotechnology and nursing actually have a great deal in common in that they are professions chosen by people who are problem solvers.
Rebecca is a Certified Rehabilitation Nurse and has studied and worked extensively in this area. She used knowledge about this population to develop a communication application specifically designed to address the needs of patients when hospitalized and unable to verbalize their needs. This application called Speak for Myself™ is in further development through an internal grant at UTK. The updated communication application will undergo further testing for validation. Rebecca is now beginning her exploration of genomics in relationship to disability.

Patricia Hershberger, PhD, RN, FNP-BC
Dr. Hershberger is an Associate Professor of Nursing and an Affiliate Professor of Medicine at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). She has a long-standing interest in helping genetically high-risk individuals and families manage reproductive decisions that involve emerging genetic/genomic biotechnologies such as Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD). Patricia has experienced first-hand the multiple challenges of making reproductive decisions when parents are aware of their high-genetic-risk status. She hopes her research will ease these challenges for others. In her recent publication on the topic, co-authored with graduate student, Kathyrn Drazba, MPH and Michele Kelley, ScD, MSW, MA the authors explicate the financial concerns that high-genetic-risk couples in the United States face and how couples try to overcome these concerns in relation to PGD use. The article can be accessed at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23949612. Dr. Hershberger also brings her enthusiasm for genetics/genomics nursing research and practice to her role as member of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine Mental Health Professional's Scientific Review Committee. Patricia is the first nurse elected to this committee and will assume the role of chair in 2016.
This fall, Dr. Hershberger and other ISONG members including former president Kathleen Sparbel, PhD, FNP-BC and new member, Mary Dawn Koenig, PhD, RN, CNM along with Aleeca F. Bell, PhD, RN, CNM and Anne M. Fink, PhD, RN are launching a new graduate genetics/genomics research course at UIC. The course will focus on principles of clinical and molecular genetics and incorporate aspects of clinical counseling and bioethics.

We say; an excellent, great sounding and most versatile DAC. Can be used alone or with an external Power Supply unit; the XP5 XS.
They say; The Naim DAC marks a technical milestone comparable to our first CD player, the CDS. The CDS demonstrated that CD replay and lifelike music reproduction were not mutually exclusive. Now, the Naim DAC demonstrates that the jitter and noise that bedevil traditional external digital to analogue conversion can be overcome and a new route to the real enjoyment of music opened. The Naim DAC provides eight S/PDIF inputs, two USB inputs, and is capable of handling audio data sampled at up to 768kHz and with up to 24bit resolution. It not only brings all the digital inputs together into the analogue domain, but does so with a level of performance that can compete with the finest from any Naim CD player to provide unrivaled musical fulfillment.
Listening to the Naim DAC is a revelation. Music, whether its source be an iPod, a CD or a high resolution data file, is presented afresh, with more definition, more insight, more warmth, and simply more of those hard to-define clues of rhythm, melody and emotion that distinguish the real thing from pale imitation. The Naim DAC is an advance that brings real music in the home closer to reality than ever before

Just in time for the summer weed season, we've chosen the wheel hoe as another Tool for Wiser Living. If you have a large garden, this old-time tool can really reduce weeding chores. T. Greiner describes it in his book, How to Make the Garden Pay, published in 1890:
But the tool of all tools, the modern weed slayer, the great labor saver, the greatest horticultural blessing of the age — that is the modern wheel hoe. This above all others frees the gardener from undesirable work, cuts down the labor account one-half, and makes tillage light and pleasant. The advantages connected with the possession of one of these tools cannot be overstated, nor emphasized too strongly, nor told too frequently. This tool reduces the unpleasant task of weeding to a minimum. Now the half-grown boy runs the wheel hoe up and down the rows of vegetables 'for fun' and recreation, and accomplishes in one-half hour what a man with a hand hoe could not perform in a whole day.
Most of today's wheel hoes feature stirrup-style scuffle hoe blades that slice shallowly through the soil, killing weeds without pulling more seeds to the surface.
The wheels support the hoe as you go. Wheel hoes are rare in stores, but we've located four brands online, with prices ranging from $170 to $349: Glaser Wheel Hoes, Valley Oak Wheel Hoes, Hoss Double Wheel Hoes, Maxadyne Wheel Hoes.
If you'd like to build your own wheel hoe, check out Herrick Kimball's Planet Whizbang Wheel Hoe plan.

Since this article was released Valley Oak Tool Company has updated the design of their broadfork. The new design is practically indestructible when you get the steel handle model. We love ours. http://www.valleyoaktool.com/broadfork/
I read the wheel hoe article and decided to build one for my wife. I read the info at planetwhizbang, and ordered a wheel from Northern Tool, and started to round up the metal to build it, but the spec diagrams on the planetwhizbang web page are unreadable. I appreciate the designer publishing the specs for free, but they aren't much help when you can't read the dimensions. Is there anyone here who could help me with the sizes? Someone who owns the hoe in the article maybe? firstname.lastname@example.com
HI, If you are really interested in getting one of these, go to this link. They have them for about $140. http://www.lehmans.com/store/Outdoors___Gardening___Digging_and_Cultivating___High_Wheel_Cultivator___13310214?Args=
I noticed that the article on building your own wheel hoe talks about avoiding the old high wheel cultivators. It might be good to mention that with very little modification, a high wheel cultivator can be converted into a wheel hoe (and at significant cost savings). Either way you go, it's a great garden tool that will save time, money, and a lot of wear and tear on the body.

Residency Requirements
Welcome to the residency requirements information for Texas State University. Because of our name, many web searches for overall State of Texas residency rules result in a link to this page. For general state-level residency information, visit the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board website or contact the particular university you are interested in attending.
If you are specifically interested in Texas State University residency requirements, please continue.
Residency for Tuition
A student or applicant is classified either as an In-State resident of Texas, or an Out-of-State resident, for tuition purposes. Rules for Texas residency classification for University tuition are different from those regarding "normal" residency. An individual's initial residency classification is determined by ApplyTexas based on information from his or her admission application. The student is responsible for ensuring their residency information is accurate and any corrections are made to their classification before the census date (normally the 12th day of classes for the spring and fall semesters and the 4th day for summer terms).
Certain non-residents may qualify to have the out-of-state portion of their tuition waived or exempted, as noted in the Exceptions section (at the bottom) of this page.
Chapter 21 of Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board Rules includes the following provisions covering some of the more common residency situations. They are neither exhaustive nor complete. Some edits have also been made to enhance readability. Full original regulations and definitions of terms are available.
Determination of Residence Status for In-State Tuition
A. The following persons shall be classified as Texas residents and entitled to pay resident tuition:
1. a person who meets ALL of the following requirements:
a. graduated from a public or accredited private high school in this state or received the equivalent of a high school diploma in this state, AND
b. maintained a residence continuously in this state for

a. established a domicile in this state not less than 12 months before the census date of the academic semester in which the person enrolls in an institution; AND
b. maintained a residence continuously in the state for the 12 months immediately preceding the census date of the academic semester in which the person enrolls in an institution, AND

(Note: Non-domicile-eligible visa holders, including F-1 visa students, are ineligible for this provision.)
3. a dependent whose parent meets ALL of the following requirements:
a. established a domicile in this state not less than 12 months before the census date of the academic semester in which the person enrolls in an institution; AND
b. maintained a residence continuously in the state for the 12 months immediately preceding the census date of the academic semester in which the person enrolls in an institution, AND
c. provided over one-half of the student's total financial support for the last 12 months (is eligible to claim the student as a dependent on their 1040 federal tax forms)

4. a person who:
a. was previously enrolled and classified as a Texas resident in a public institution of higher education; and

*Employment conditioned on student status, such as work study, the receipt of stipends, fellowships, or research or teaching assistantships does not constitute gainful employment.
4. (Military only) Claimed Texas as their State of Legal Residence or whose official Home of Record is Texas, or
5. Marriage for at least 12 months to a person who established a domicile in Texas per one of the above methods is also a basis for establishing domicile.

The person or the dependent's parent shall provide documentation sufficient to the institution of the reason for the temporary absence and showing intent to return.
E. The following non-U.S. citizens may establish a domicile in this state for the purposes of section A.2. or A.3.:
1. A Permanent Resident;
2. A person who is eligible for permanent resident status (filed an I-485 and received an I-797 receipt that the application had not been rejected);

1. Employment conditioned on student status, such as work study
2. The receipt of a stipend, fellowship, research or teaching assistantship

When Scott Frank approached Rabbi David Kane of Congregation B'nai Torah in Ormond Beach with an idea for a charity poker tournament five years ago, Kane had only one thing to say.
DAYTONA BEACH — When Scott Frank approached Rabbi David Kane of Congregation B'nai Torah in Ormond Beach with an idea for a charity poker tournament five years ago, Kane had only one thing to say.
"I said: 'Teach me how to play poker, and we'll talk about it.' "
The two Ormond Beach men went on to organize The Venetian Deep Stack Charity Classic tournament, held for the fifth year Sunday at the Daytona Beach Kennel Club and Poker Room. The event raises money for B'nai Torah and several causes it supports, including the Volusia-Flagler Jewish Federation's Jerry Doliner Food Bank.
It's become one of the largest charity poker tournaments in the Southeast, according to Frank, with about 700 players participating – many flying in from out of state. Each player paid $185 – or $195 at the door – for entry into the tournament. All of the proceeds after event expenses go to charity, Frank said.
The event's title sponsor is The Venetian resort and casino in Las Vegas, which offered prizes – including trips to Las Vegas and entry into a poker tournament there – to some of the tournament's top players.
"It's an incredible phenomenon that went way beyond our initial expectations," Frank said.
Frank learned to play poker with his father and came to like the bonding aspect of the game. When he was asked to put together a charity project at B'nai Torah five years ago, he decided to go with something he loved.
Several celebrities of the poker world were in attendance Sunday, including Antonio "The Magician" Esfandiari, a professional player who won more than $18 million at the World Series of Poker's "Big One for One Drop" charity tournament last year.
The One Drop Foundation works to enhance access to clean, safe water in developing countries. In honor of Esfandiari's attendance, Frank said some of the proceeds from this year's tournament will go to One Drop.
Another VIP making the rounds Sunday was Norman Chad, a sportswriter and longtime poker announcer on ESPN.
"Incredibly, when they started showing poker on television – which doesn't make any sense, but it happened – I became the announcer from the beginning, so I've been doing it for 10 years," he joked.
As someone who had seen many poker tournaments, Chad spoke highly of Sunday's event.
"It's one of the best charity events I've been around," he said. "This thing just started five or six years ago with a very small group. The job they do, every year gets bigger, every year gets better, it's just a great environment to be around."
The event was sponsored by Daytona Toyota and Bayshore Capital, a Canadian investment firm that is working to develop a Hard Rock Hotel near Daytona Beach's SunSplash Park, along with dozens of other local and national companies.
Throughout Sunday afternoon, the room's 550 seats remained filled, with dozens of people waiting just outside for spots to open up at times.
"Space limitations notwithstanding, we would have sold a couple hundred more tickets," Frank said.

PLYMOUTH Argyle have confirmed that they will not be facing Hereford United in a pre-season friendly.
The Pilgrims were due to face the Bulls on Saturday, August 2.
But, the League Two club have now cancelled the game because they felt that United would not provide a suitably high standard of opposition.
Plymouth will instead face Conference South outfit Weston-super-Mare.
"The Bulls were a Skrill Conference side at the time the Edgar Street match was arranged but have since been demoted to the Calor League," said a statement on the official Plymouth Argyle website.
"Consequently, it was felt that they would not be able to provide a suitably high standard of opposition so close to the start of the Pilgrims' league season."
The Hereford Times revealed earlier today that a scheduled charity match in aid of Help for Heroes on Sunday and a friendly against Cardiff City the following Saturday have both been postponed due to safety concerns.
Marc Willimont, head of development management and environmental health at Herefordshire Council, said that no games can be played at Edgar Street until further notice until the council receives the relevant safety certification.
Andy Lonsdale, an advisor at United, said that he was 'dismayed' by the news.
Hereford were also due to face Grays on Saturday, July 19, but that too has been cancelled due to the current unrest at the Edgar Street club.
The Bulls are still scheduled to face Gloucester City on Tuesday, July 22 and Droylsden on Saturday, July 26.
Both of those games are away.

SOURCE: "Primary Process Mentation and the Structure of Timon of Athens," in University of Hartford Studies in Literature, Vol. 11, No. 1, 1979, pp. 24-35.
In the essay below, Neiditz suggests reinterpreting Timon of Athens, noting the dream-like state of the play and its symbolism.
Interpretations of Timon of Athens have led us astray by forcing the play into a logical, sequential mold with conclusions that Shakespeare was exhausted, suffering from a nervous breakdown or portraying a "syphlitic" character.1 Only Miss Ellis-Fermor, speaking of the Alcibiades-Senate scene, grasped the fact that it tumbles "suddenly into the action with the bewildering inconsequence of a dream."2
If we approach the play like a dream, we recognize Shakespeare's suggestion of the simultaneity of time, the fulfillment of erotic and aggressive wishes through diction and plot, the predominance of cannibalistic and persecutory imagery, the splitting of four major figures to represent different aspects of the...

Micro Thong Bikini
A micro thong bikini gives one that tanned to perfection look that granny panties and even the tiniest Brazilian cut bottoms cannot provide. These barely there swatches of cloth give maximum exposure that will surely keep all the boys looking as you let your parts bask in the warmth of the sun. Though regular pieces will let you be cheeky in a moderate manner, the teeny-weeny versions of these swimsuits let wearers showcase more than an eyeful. Despite the obvious lack of coverage, many women who are brave enough to bare all in public (or out in the sun at least) choose these sexy beachwear items for their summer getaway.
There are two things to consider when choosing a swimwear: the extent of coverage of the front and the exposure of the back parts.
Frontal exposure
Tiny panties provide the much-needed protection or coverage to the frontal part of a swimwear even though the rest of the outfit reveals most of the body. There are cuts that fully cover the groin area, while there are some that go as thin as a string to hide that essential fold of skin. But despite the intention to cover up some necessary parts of the body, the front part of a the bikini bottom can also attract attention. Some women go for full or moderate coverage, using fabrics that range from opaque to sheer. These not only hide, but rather emphasize and invite the observer to probe or stare longer. There are a variety of styles for the front part of a micro thong bottom such as asymmetrical, sheer, string, adjustable, and teardrop.
Baring bottoms
The thong bikini has been regarded as a kind of swimsuit that gives shape to bottom of the wearer, while providing that protection and coverage. There are varieties of this teeny swimwear that despite covering up the front part, the back almost bears it all. A typical thong two piece ensemble may have a moderately-sized triangle of cloth that sits just above or the middle of one's bottom. A micro version, however, would this cloth into a tiny pyramid that sits right above one's behind, exposing everything at the back for everyone to see. If this is a bit too much, then there are strings that do very little to cover but do a lot in emphasizing the assets. The best thing to remember when looking for this kind of bikini bottom is to go for the perfect fit for the top and bottom.
