Physicians/Patient Assessment
A Clinical Approach to Prescribing Cannabis:
All Access Medical Clinic (AAMC) is committed to supporting physicians who wish to acquire a "working knowledge" of the science behind cannabinoids and how to effectively apply this knowledge within a clinical setting. Given this branch of medicine does not have an established clinical history (evidence-based research), the 5 years of experience our physicians and support staff have acquired is vitally important.
Patients tired or unresponsive to prescription drugs are turning to natural types of medicine, and cannabis requests to physicians are increasing exponentially. The following document is intended to clarify and answer some of the questions that physicians may have.
AAMC support staff and physicians have in place standard policies and procedures to deal with patient screening, intake, assessment and documentation. This includes identifying patients with risk factors due to cannabis use. It is important to convey that the use of cannabis is simply a part of an overall strategy to assist the patient in achieving an improved quality of life.
To initiate the process, AAMC has created an "Intake form" which patients can fill out online or can phone in and a support member will walk them through the process. The form includes information concerning the patients past medical history, previous cannabis use (including frequency, timing and method of consumption) as well as a list of previous medications. The purpose of acquiring this information is to ensure the patients safety and prevent abuse. Certain risk factors are considered including a history of addiction, depression, emotional disorders and high dose recreational use.
To aid referring physicians, AAMC has developed an online "referral form". Our support staff will review the document for completeness and accuracy; and communicate with the patient and/or their physician to acquire additional medical information, if necessary.
Once the patient completes the screening process, an appointment will be made with one of our trained educators and subsequently with an AAMC physician. The purpose of the consultation with our educator is to review the information from the screening process, identify the main purpose (ailment) for the patient's visit and provide cannabis education. Following the educators review the patient will consult with a physician. When appropriate to recommend medicinal cannabis, a daily dosage regimen will be stipulated, a strain type may be suggested, the "medical document" (prescription) signed and an interval care schedule is established. Following the physician consultation, a second educator discussion will ensue regarding Licensed Producer and ingestion options. Finally, AAMC support staff are available throughout the term of the medical document to answer patient questions regarding product delivery, quality concerns, alternative stain types, pricing options, new strain development and longitudinal care.
There are two sub-species of cannabis: Indica and Sativa. Indices are as a rule more sedative and Sativa's more stimulatory. Since they are not individual species, they are crossbreed to create hundreds of hybrid strains, each strain holding a different pharmacology.
There is no "established" dosing schedule for medicinal cannabis, however, according to Health Canada, the average patient use is between 1-3 grams daily. The average percentage of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabinoids (CBD) is 17% and 5% respectively. However, it should be noted that there is an increased demand for high CBD/low THC flower and oil products. CBD Promotes calmness, and a positive sense of well being, an upbeat mood and relaxation. Patients describe the experience as that of being clear-headed and focused, with no change in cognitive function.
Dosage regimes vary depending on the patient's ailment, and preferred method of intake (i.e vaporizing, oral ingestion or smoking). Of all the methods of intake, smoking is the least effective and most physically damaging. The average ingestion of THC when smoking indicates that only 20-25%% of the available THC/CBD is ingested. By example, if the THC in the strain in question was 15%, the patient would ingest approximately 3.5% per gram of smoked, however, since most cannabis cigarettes are normally .75 of a gram, this would equate to a rate of 2.6% THC per dose.
Vaporization, with occurs at between 180 and 200 degrees C (just short of combustion with occurs at 230 degrees C) offers a much more efficient and less harmful method of ingestion. According to University of California researchers, smokeless and odourless cannabis-vaporizing devices deliver the same or a higher level of active therapeutic ingredients and produces the same biological effect as smoking cannabis, but without the harmful toxins.
AAMC support staff will advise patients on usage parameters as well as the risks of cannabis treatment. In particular, patients will be cautioned with regard to driving or the use of heavy equipment while using cannabis. Also, possible side effects are discussed such as anxiety or mood changes.
Patients will receive from our support staff a thorough understanding of the relevance of Licensed Producers, cannabis types (Indica and Sativa), THC and CBD ratios, pricing, product delivery, packaging, labelling and maintenance of documentation to ensure legality.
To date, medicinal cannabis is not covered as a medication through any provincial health care plan. Occasionally private insurers have covered the cost of cannabis and equipment such as vaporizers, however for the most part patients are must pay for a product ordered from Licensed Producers. It should be noted that the federal government does provide medicinal cannabis, at no cost, to all veterans, first responders and RCMP officers that qualify for treatment.
AAMC and Licensed Producers offer compassionate pricing based on disability and/or the patient's ability to pay. Patients are advised that medicinal cannabis & related product purchases are tax deductible. Basic AAMC patient charge: $49.95
AAMC operates as private "resource centres" in Vancouver, Nanaimo, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto and Montreal. Nationally we also offer Telehealth consultations.

Target Audience: Manager, Software Engineer, Systems Analyst, Marketer, Other: Web site designer
Level of Session: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced
This tutorial is being repeated due to its popularity at the last two conferences in San Jose and Boston. It tackles an absolutely fundamental (but often neglected) aspect of designing international products - translatability issues. Most developers are surprised at both the nature of the pitfalls here, and the severity of the quality, cost and schedule problems their previous ignorance causes for localisation. These concepts apply to creation of all kinds of on-screen text, eg. web pages, java, JavaScript, on-line help, software UIs, etc.
The tutorial will start by introducing some key linguistic differences between English (or Japanese) and most other languages. These differences account for many of the problems you will encounter. Because the translation vendor or group is also your customer, there follows a brief overview of the computer-assisted translation process. This has a bearing on how you package the data for delivery to the translation group.
The main body of the tutorial will put you in the localiser's shoes. You will perform pseudo-translations of four files (with help from the speaker!) into a number of languages, and then review your work on pictures of the rebuilt user interface. This will not only help you to better understand the needs of the translator, but will force you to think about how you should deal with issues such as managing screen space and layout, fragmentation and re-use of text, use of variables, good source text creation, short-cut keys, text extraction and ordering, the importance of context, etc..

Skip to comments.Bloomberg Diverts Food, Generators from Devastated Staten Island to NYC Marathon
Posted on 11/02/2012 1:52:39 AM PDT by tsowellfan
Fresh off his "climate disruption"-driven endorsement of President Obama, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has chosen to divert critical food supplies and power generators from desperate residents of Staten Island to Sunday's New York City Marathon...
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
Re: Any chance of re-electing Giuliani?
He may run again. At least he's been hinting at it recently.
Any runner who participates in this travesty is sub human (like Bloomberg) and should be shunned by all decent members of society. There could well be riots and attacks on the runners on Sunday. Bloomberg and the runners are spitting in the faces of the millions of area residents who are without power, heat, gas and in some cases homes. Bloomberg is the most vile politician in America by a wide margin, even over Obama and Pelosi.

This is what happens when you elect liberals to office so I feel no sorrow for New Yorkers suffering, next time maybe they will vote correctly as pain, cold,hunger is a great motivator...
Rudy was on FOX last night and praised nanny blommy for letting the marathon go on.
Talk about tone deaf ... !!!!!!
To go one with the circus when tens of thousands are growing desperate for fuel, transportation, food
I bet Bloomies mansions have power and water, too
and armed guards of course
I don't see any problem, bloomingass is nice and warm, has plenty of food, is nice and dry, has plenty of gas and is not suffering one tiny bit.
There is really, really, really something wrong with this man, how can he make such stupid decisions?
Oh wait, he is buddies with mac daddy, the leading moron, that explains it all.
There's an article at my local paper's website saying that some runners from here have decided not to go to New York because they think it's tacky. According to the article, Bloomberg says "the show must go on" because businesses are counting on the attendees for sales, rentals, etc.
(I rarely look at the local Communist media, but I was looking for information on a major traffic jam yesterday. Nothing mentioned ...)
On Sunday, Fox should run parallel coverage of the marathon and people struggling to fix the aftermath of Sandy. All day.
I should think that Bloomberg is toast after this blunder.
Add in Nanny Bloomberg's "global warming" endorsement of Obama, the turning away of non-union utility help, the argument over whether "cash only" charities of their own choosing are welcome, the "we only want the NYPD having guns" dismissal of National Guard help and similar glimpses from the past few days, and this dumb, pig-slopping, flyover country rube is a bit disillusioned. I reckon I'm just too gol-derned ignorant to understand the subtle nuances of the East Coast ruling class.
We have a few worthless politicians and personalities out here that are persistent as ticks (and just as pleasant), but you FReepers and like-minded people who live in NYC and the surrounding areas bear some crosses beyond all enduring.
Mr. niteowl77
Yup. At least most of them.
This dovetails nicely with the electrical repair crews from Alabama being told to "stand down" in New Jersey because they were non-union.
A star foock?
Someone ought to run against him in a Big Gulp Of Freedom party.
That was is all scheduled to be tweeted:
New Jersey Turns Away Non-Union Relief Crews - http://ow.ly/eXFVd #news #Sandy #NewJersey #tcot #Obama2012 @BarackObama
Sending at 10:15am, Nov 02, 2012
If they need the generators for a stupid race, then they ought to call the stupid race OFF, or postpone it.
Nice...the marathon starts on the Staten Island side of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. There should be protests.
Thousands of hungry and angry NYCers might just block the marathon route, especially at the beginning on Staten Island. That would be huge.
Bloomberg's people would have thought of this and will be diverting huge amounts of police to control the crowds for the marathon. This won't end well.
Time to divert Loonie Bloomie from the Mayor's Mansion.....

The Cape Cod Baseball League All-Star game is tonight in Chatham, and it once again promises to be a must-see for fans and scouts alike.
The Cape Cod Baseball League All-Star game is tonight in Chatham, and it once again promises to be a must-see for fans and scouts alike.
The game, which begins at 7 p.m., will be televised live for the first time on NESN.
On the field, fans will get a chance to see hitting stars like A.J. Pollock of Falmouth and Bourne's Marc Krauss. The pair, who will start for the West, entered yesterday's action 1-2 in the league in hitting.
The East counters with its own hitting star, Chatham's Grant Green. The shortstop from USC has an on-base percentage nearing .500.
As usual, the pitching staffs for both divisions are full of top-flight talent.
Bourne's Bryce Stowell starts for the West and Matt Thomson of Orleans will take the hill first for the East.
But don't expect Stowell and Thomson to pitch much more than an inning each. The West staff includes Brandon Workman (Wareham), Andrew Carraway (Hyannis) and Ben Tootle (Falmouth).
The East bullpen is stocked, with Buddy Baumann (Brewster), Chris Manno (Harwich) and Sammy Solis (Chatham) expected to take the mound at some point.
Of course, the fun of the Cape League All-Star game isn't just the game itself. A full day of events will take place at Veterans Field. Gates open to the public at 2 p.m. — get there early if you want to be able to see anything. The time leading up to the game will include autograph sessions and the annual home run hitting contest.
Connor Powers (Mississippi State), Joe Sanders (Harwich) and Angelo Songco (Orleans) will represent the East in the home run derby.
Blake Dean (Wareham), league home run leader Chris Dominguez (Hyannis) and Kyle Roller (Bourne) will compete from the West.

Bahrain to tighten banks' credit exposures
Manama, February 14, 2010
The Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB) launched a consultation process on Sunday with banks aimed at introducing tighter limits on banks' credit and asset exposures.
The CBB said in a statement on its website it plans to introduce an upper limit on commitments to underwriting securities or syndicated loans of 30 percent of banks' capital for a period of 90 days.
The regulator that oversees a regional banking centre also said it plans to introduce tighter limits on banks exposures to directors and associated companies.
The aggregate limits on this will fall to 25 percent from 40 percent for conventional banks, while the limits for Islamic banks will also be tightened.
The proposed new regulations also include a new definition of credit underwriting and caps on banks' temporary exposures to assets they plan to securitise or place with investors.
Banks will not be allowed to have exposure to such assets for more than 90 days and the exposure can not exceed 25 percent of their capital base.
The placement of real estate projects and private equity deals with investors has been the main revenue source for many of Bahrain's investment houses during an oil-fuelled regional property boom that ended 2008.
Banks licensed by the CBB can submit responses to the consultation paper until March 10. - Reuters

text: A communications construction contractor was the low apparent bidder for a $937,000.00 multi-site government project. The next lowest bid was $143,000.00 higher. A frantic post opening review by the contractor identified that almost $117,000.00 in transceiver equipment had not been included in his proposal. Because the contractor compounded his errors in the proposal and neither solicited nor provided the required minority business participation, the bid was disqualified. If the contractor had complied with the MWBE requirements the state agency could have held him to his submitted bid price. Had the contractor declined to accept the project based upon the known losses, his surety company would have had to pay $46,850.00, representing the 5% bid bond amount detailed in the RFQ. The surety in turn would have sought compensation from the contractor.

ROME, November 18 – Italy striker Mario Balotelli admitted he was "angry and bitter" after suffering racial abuse while on international duty in Austria.
Balotelli started for Italy in Wednesday's 1-1 friendly draw against Romania in Klagenfurt, a Euro 2008 venue.
But he was jeered by both Italian and Romanian fans alike while an Italian mob known as 'Ultra Italy' unveiled a banner saying: "No to a multi-cultural Italy."
It is not the first time Manchester City forward Balotelli, an Italian of Ghanaian origin, has suffered racial abuse from Italians.
"I don't know what to say, maybe they came out here (to Klagenfurt) because they don't have a TV at home," said a bemused Balotelli.
"I've learnt that it's better to pretend that nothing is happening, thankfully I don't know the people who insult me, what hurts more are the insults of those who know and love you.
"This time I was good, that way no-one can accuse me of having provoked them, so you can be the judges but I will stay angry and bitter.
"From where I live in Manchester I'd like to see my country talking more about the problem of racism rather than about my team-mates."
Balotelli is well used to being jeered over the colour of his skin having suffered racial abuse from fans during his three years with Inter Milan before moving to City in the summer.
His worst detractors were a section of the Juventus crowd who regularly last season chanted racial slurs against him, leading to the club being repeatedly fined.
Earlier this season a Serie A match between Cagliari and Inter in Sardinia was stopped for a few minutes after Inter's Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o was targetted by home fans.
But after a tannoy appeal to desist, the match was able to continue without further incident.
But that's not a route Balotelli favours travelling.
"It hurts to be booed but you can't stop a match because of the actions of a few people," he said. "I'm delighted to play for my country."
He also pointed out that if certain Italians don't want a multi-ethnic Italy, it's too late.
"Where I used to live in Brescia there's already a multi-ethnic Italy."
Italy coach Cesare Prandelli vowed not to give in to the bigots and said that their opinions reflected an underlying problem in the country.
And the coach also hit out at Italians for their hypocrisy.
"I'll definitely not change my ideas, my team will always be open to whoever holds an Italian passport," he said.
"My anger and disappointment are so strong that I want to make a powerful statement but I'm holding myself back so as not to give them (the racists) more publicity.
"It's a sign that our country has many problems but we forget that for decades we were the country with the most emmigrants in the world; Italians can be found everywhere, in every corner of the planet.
"What we need in cases such as this is a strong symbolic gesture so at the end of the game I gave Balotelli a hug and if this happens again, we all will.
"If this game had been played in an Italian stadium I would have liked to have seen how the rest of the fans reacted."
It wasn't just Prandelli who spoke out, some of Balotelli's Italy team-mates also hit out at this issue.
"Italy has a racism problem, action needs to be taken," said Alberto Aquilani, who plays for Juventus on loan from Liverpool.
And Palermo's Federico Balzaretti, who made his Italy debut, added: "It feels like we've got backwards several decades."
Italian police accompanying the Italian fans handed over a list of 41 names to Austrian police while one Italy fan was arrested for punching an Austrian.

This is an original digital work of art. It was created by hand cutting, piecing and sewing 100% cotton batik fabrics. The finished work was then scanned into a digital file where the image was then transformed and manipulated to produce the finished piece you see here.
At 30″ wide by 30″ high, this piece is a striking presentation. It is printed on high gloss aluminum and is mounted on a 3/4" aluminum inset frame. Inset Frames are recessed from the edges of the print, so the print appears to float away from the wall when hung. The piece is wired and is ready for hanging. We also provide a French Cleat to give you another hanging option. It is signed on the back and will be shipped with a signed Certificate of Authenticity.
The aluminum prints are top-coated with a UV resistant finish but you should still avoid direct sunlight when hanging.
The ultra-hard surface is scratch-resistant and can be cleaned easily with any commercial glass cleaner and a microfiber towel. Do not use any abrasive cleaners.

An Open Letter from Rev. Roger James
At the request of the IELC, Rev. Roger James, LCMS Area Director for South Asia, wrote this open letter details events occurring within the IELC, particularly clearing up confusion regarding the commencement at Concordia Theological Seminary, Nagercoil.

IELC OPEN LETTER Eastertide 2016
The Letter
Eastertide 2016
TO: Members and Pastors
India Evangelical Lutheran Church
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
The Lord is risen! He is risen indeed!
No doubt there has been much confusion and many questions regarding the events surrounding the commencement at Concordia Theological Seminary, Nagercoil. Rev. Raja Gambeeram, President of the IELC, has asked that I relate to you the events as I witnessed them.
But first, it would be helpful to provide background regarding the current conflict in the IELC. In May 2014, I and Rev. Dr. Larry Myers were invited to attend the IELC General Body Meeting as official visitors from the LCMS to witness the proceedings and to report on our observations. Dr. Myers and I filed independent reports confirming the legitimacy of the election of the Raja Gambeeram administration.
Some weeks later, another secretive "convention" was held in a remote location by a small opposition group. However, when the police intervened because the convener had been restrained by an Indian court from holding any elections, a written declaration was submitted by the official of this group to the police stating that no election was taking place. (The LCMS has a copy of this written declaration.) Even so, another man from this opposition group announced that he had been elected IELC president at that gathering, contradicting the declaration given to the authorities.
Over several months, the LCMS corresponded with both sides to try to ascertain the veracity of their claims. Finally, after about six months, the LCMS formally recognized the Raja Gambeeram administration as the legitimately elected IELC administration, because all evidence supported their claim. Indeed, the other side presented no evidence whatsoever and could not overcome the fact that the aforementioned written declaration had been given to the police stating that they had not been conducting an election. This splinter group, however, has nevertheless persisted in its claims, issuing baseless rumors, and using lies, intimidation, and physical force to create fear and confusion.
This state of affairs began with a power struggle that ensued upon the retirement of President J. Samuel in January 2013. It has become evident that certain parties in the opposition splinter group do not want to relinquish their positions in the IELC, even though they have long reached their term limits. In these positions they have dealt loosely with the valuable properties that the LCMS and her missionaries had transferred in sacred trust to the IELC. The situation had become so disturbing that, on 15 July 2013, LCMS advocates in St. Louis sent an unprecedented legal communication to all members of the IELC Trust Association. That letter concluded as follows:
We hereby demand (a) that no disposition of property take place except in compliance with the IELC and IELCTA governing documents and the Protocol Agreement and any Court Order that is applicable to such sale and that any such disposition of property be fully transparent, with sale documents clearly stating the terms of the sale made available to the officials of IELC, IELCTA and LCMS, (b) that LCMS representation be restored to the IELCTA as provided in the Articles of Association, and (b) that LCMS receive written assurances (1) that no IELC/IELCTA property will be the subject of an unlawful transaction, (2) that the proceeds of any conveyance that takes place in compliance with the various documents will be used for church purposes and not for personal gain and (3) that you will investigate any possible instances of wrongdoing in this regard and will intervene and prevent any such conveyance…
Our client is extremely concerned and saddened to hear of the violation of trust and dereliction of fiduciary duties of those charged to manage and protect the property that it has given for the ministry and proclamation of Jesus Christ in India. Please understand that time is of the essence, and we have engaged local counsel to assist us however necessary to investigate, enforce and protect the rights of the LCMS and the property that was donated to its sister Church there.
Unfortunately, even this stern legal warning was not heeded. These same parties within the splinter group are still trying to cling to their elapsed positions and for this reason oppose the Raja Gambeeram administration.
Returning, finally, to the events at the seminary commencement. I was invited by the Principal, Rev. Dr. D. Monika Raj, to be the preacher and special guest from The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) for this graduation celebration. I was looking forward to joining IELC President Raja Gambeeram, IELC General Treasurer R. Vijayakumar, and others of the IELC administration at these festivities, scheduled to take place Sunday evening, 13 March 2016. I arrived in Nagercoil on Saturday accompanied by Mr. Ravi Jesupatham (LCMS Country Coordinator). We were joined by Mr. Harry Steffens the LCMS Project Manager who had been living on the seminary campus since December, assisting Dr. Monika Raj in beginning much-needed repairs and renovations to the facilities. Saturday evening Dr. Monika Raj informed us that a group of local people representing the splinter group came to campus, demanding that their own people be allowed to preside over the ceremony. Dr. Monika Raj rightly refused and said that he would cancel the program before he would let that happen.
On Sunday it became apparent that this opposition group was intending to insert themselves into the proceedings. Rev. Pres. Gambeeram, Rev. Dr. J. Samuel (former IELC President), Dr. Monika Raj, Mr. Harry, Mr. Ravi, all of the faculty, and I met on campus. I repeated to everyone present what I had already stated several times. The whole IELC should understand that the LCMS will have no dealings with any parties that are intent on lying, cheating, stealing, or otherwise disturbing the normal functioning of the legitimate IELC administration.
At the same time, we discovered that this opposition group had put a notice in the local paper falsely stating that the commencement was taking place under the auspices of their illegal administration with me, Area Director, South Asia, as the special LCMS guest. This was a brazen lie. As the LCMS does not recognize their administration, I would never accept an invitation from them. As an official representative of the LCMS, I have not and will not support such deception. I was there at the sole invitation of Pres. Gambeeram and Dr. Monika Raj.
Given all of this, President Gambeeram told those at the table that they should cancel the event. Even Dr. Monika Raj said that certainly they could not go forward. The Principal and faculty asked to meet alone, so we left them.
The opposition group was arriving and occupying a portion of the meeting area, wearing their white cassocks and red stoles, as if they were the official sponsors and dignitaries of this event.
As we were waiting for the faculty, I was informed that there was a large poster at the entrance of the campus, again deceitfully announcing the commencement was under the auspices of the opposition with my name as their LCMS guest. I tore down the poster because it was a lie.
While I was preparing to leave the campus rather than to be a part of such crass deception, I was told that Dr. Monika Raj wanted to speak to me. I met with the Principal and the faculty alone. It was decided that we should meet with the students alone in the chapel. I suggested to the faculty and Principal that we could, at that very moment, privately give the certificates and quickly end the proceedings without involving the opposition rabble who were disrupting good order. It was agreed. However, someone immediately opened the doors to the chapel, and the disrupting group began to push in. I urged Dr. Monika Raj to put them out, or I could not participate. He told them to leave, but they remained. The disruption and deceit was too much. In one of the saddest moments of my life, I told the faculty and the principal that I could not remain. I walked out. As Mr. Harry and I were leaving the campus, I was notified that two more large posters with my name and those of the opposition had been raised at the campus gate. So again, with many gathered, I went to the gate and tore them both down.
These sad events should make it clear that the LCMS will not work with those who are willing to post public lies and obstruct the good order of the church. The LCMS utterly denounces all corrupt plans and purposes. Having heard the shameful and deceitful things that this minority opposition party did at this commencement event, can anyone support them in good conscience?
Nevertheless, if this opposition group has any legitimate claims, we once again invite them to present the evidence for their case. Indeed, we have extended written invitations to them to justify their claims on at least eight occasions, specifically 4 July 2014, 4 September 2014, 6 October 2014, 8 October 2014, 31 January 2015, 16 December 2015, 28 January 2016, and 22 February 2016. These communications started out very cordially but gradually grew more terse since we received few replies and NO evidence of any kind to substantiate their claims, yet they continued to make their claims and interfere in the normal and good functioning of the IELC-LCMS relationship. Instead of proof of their claims, all we heard from them were lies, rumors, and personal attacks. Considering the fact that they have had no less than EIGHT opportunities to provide us with such evidence, who can blame us for disregarding their claims as spurious?
The LCMS and its President will not tolerate or facilitate corruption. That is why the recent Protocol Agreement signed at the LCMS headquarters by Presidents Gambeeram and Harrison included, by mutual agreement, the special provision that "properties are not to be alienated without written LCMS consent."
Finally, one of their latest lies is that the LCMS is not keeping its pledges of financial support for various projects and that the LCMS is doing little to help the IELC. Please note the appendix on the next page that documents the project support that the LCMS has provided to individuals, churches, schools, Bethesda Hospital, and the seminary since 2013. If there are projects that the LCMS has sanctioned but not funded, please let us know so we can make it right. Frankly, if there were no corrupt opposition parties interfering with the normal and transparent operation of the IELC administration, then the LCMS and IELC would be able to work together with even greater benefit to the Gospel of forgiveness in Christ.
And yet, above all, we give thanks that it is the blessed, holy, joyous season of Easter! I pray that all the faithful in the IELC be filled with wonder that the Son of God gave Himself on the cross to rescue poor sinners like us and that same Lord Jesus Christ now also lives and reigns eternally our true Mediator and Advocate before the Father in the communion of the Holy Spirit.
Peace to you in Christ Jesus!
Rev. Roger B. James
LCMS Area Director, South Asia

Anyone who knows me, knows I have trouble eating only one thing: horseradish. Peppers are no problem. I LOVE heat, but horseradish (including wasabi sadly) makes me gag. After my recent stay at Ray Dragon's new upstate estate, I can safely add something new to my very meager "do not eat" list: German hand cheese. A spongey, pale yellow, "handkäse" has an aroma redolent of dirty bandages. The taste is even stronger. Imagine a ball of rubber cement soaked in iodine then cured in your dad's sock drawer and you might come close to capturing the culinary magic of this sour milk cheese. Ray, a bit of foodie himself, purchased the cheese after I discovered it at a local grocery store. Perhaps not so surprisingly, Arpad loved it! None of us could stomach a second bite. Arpad gladly squirreled away what was left in his duffle bag to take back to the city. Makes sense after-all: cheese comes with the territory (he is uncut). A similar sour milk cheese (with an even more pronounced taste according to Arpad) claims special privilege as a Hungarian delicacy.
In case that story left you a little queasy, here are some pictures I captured on my cell phone of the beautiful waterfall which sits on Ray's incredible wooded lot in upstate New York:

Justin Hindry guilty of Aylsham showroom arson fraud
A former showroom owner has been found guilty of setting fire to his family business as part of an insurance scam.
The Aylsham Bathroom and Kitchen Centre was seriously damaged by fire in June 2012.
Justin Hindry, of Manor Farm Close, in Drayton, was found guilty of insurance fraud and arson by a jury at Norwich Crown Court earlier.
The 41-year-old will be sentenced at a later date. He was remanded in custody for reports on him to be prepared.
Det Sgt Darren Reade, of Norfolk police, said: "Hindry thought to con emergency services, detectives and his insurance company by setting fire to his struggling business to make money out of the claim.
"He also deceived his own staff, many of whom had supported him throughout the investigation."
Hindry denied two further counts of arson and fraud relating to a fire at Haven Seashore Holiday Park at Yarmouth in November 2011. He was cleared of both charges.

DoubleTree By Hilton: A Match For Wroclaw's Swankiest Hotels?
The opening of the DoubleTree By Hilton at the OVO building means Wroclaw has a new luxury hotel, restaurant and cocktail bar to contend with.
The DoubleTree has already featured in Vogue magazine and the Telegraph, helping to give the hotel a glowing reputation from the get-go. But can the place match the grandeur of Sofitel and Monopol, the city's two established posh hotels? To try and judge for myself, I paid a flying visit to the bars in all three of the hotels.
First up was a date at the OVO building, courtesy of a journalist's invite to the grand opening of the new Hilton DoubleTree Hotel. I wasn't sure how seriously to take the invitation's injunction to follow cocktail dress code, but the two ladies dressed in black leotards and Venetian lace masks posing on the red carpet indicated that we were in for quite the high-society event.
As we walked up to the brightly-lit entrance, we saw what appeared to be Wroclaw's entire fashionista set mingling in the warm night. Walking in, we were immediately handed a full glass of Taittinger champagne, a hint that tonight, at least, drinks were on the house.
The DoubleTree's OVO bar and restaurant was decked out with standing cocktail tables and an army of servers bearing drinks and food, so we settled in and began the arduous task of tasting everything. Executive chef Piotr Apanel, formerly of Mosaic and Sufit in Wroclaw (and many years abroad), reigns over a gleaming open kitchen.
The culinary theme of the evening was Polish "tapas", which had a few misses but mostly quite satisfying hits. Oozy thickened barszcz with crème fraîche and herbs in a teeny porcelain bowl, herring with ash-roasted potato and whipped butter, curry-battered salmon with aioli and pickled ginger were the standouts. If Apanel commits to the elevation of Polish cuisine in a similar manner to how he fixed that herring, then I'll definitely be back at OVO soon.
The bar service on the open night was extravagant and varied. The champagne ladies, posing in front of a giant screen projecting images of Wroclaw history, were most generous with the bubbly. Our favorite bar was the Jack Daniels and Tanqueray stand with Piotr and Sandra doling out gin and tonics and smokey bourbon on the rocks.
The hottest place to be that evening was upstairs, where the Presidential Suite and the Business Lounge are located. Since I'm not the kind of person who can afford to stay in an executive-type suite, it was a guilty pleasure to hang out in the Lounge, a very elegant room with an espresso bar and a steady stream of bite-sized desserts. In the Presidential Suite we were also treated to ice cream flavors created for the evening by the excellent Lizing ice cream shop (check them out on Świdnicka next to Pączkarnia).
The Hilton Double Tree clearly want to create an atmosphere of comfort and luxury here in Wroclaw, and the open-evening was certainly a success from where we were standing. I enjoyed the hospitality of both OVO bar/restaurant and the more inaccessible treats upstairs. The staff were also generous and welcoming, while the food and drinks were great too.
Despite all that, the Hilton Double Tree is not quite yet in a position to boast the title of the city's swankiest, high profile hotel. To do so, it will need to edge out some pretty tough competition. So how does its gastronomic opportunities hold up to Wroclaw's other luxury hotels? I decided to check out the bars at Sofitel and Hotel Monopol to find out.
I think that of the three aforementioned hotels, Cafe Bar Monopol feels the most venerable. Its brown marble, leather armchairs, and dim lighting; the fact that you can order and smoke a cigar; as well as the precise and delicious cocktails and food (duck dumplings with wine-stewed plums anyone?) take you back to old school luxury without a sense of tackiness or trying too hard.
As someone who very rarely goes out for cocktails in fancy places, I was impressed that I did not feel alienated or isolated; in fact it was an intimate room despite its size and we were very well treated by our friendly bartender. I didn't feel like I was in a hotel of which I wasn't a guest, and I think I'd gladly return for another lovely Pisco Sour – or test the bartender's ability to make a real Old-Fashioned for this bourbon-lover.
On the other hand, Sofitel is not particularly inviting. When you walk into the Louis D'Or Bar, you've come in through a strange shopping-mall type atrium.
Servers in old-school bellhop uniforms lend the place a feeling of grandeur, but it was difficult to get comfortable with all that looming empty space. Maybe on a weekend it would be more cheerful. My impression overall is that Sofitel is a beautiful hotel with high-quality bar and restaurant service. If I were a guest of the hotel, I'd gladly spend time at the bar. But it's not somewhere I'm likely to go to relax after work – maybe it's a bit too exclusive for me.
So, are you looking for a fun atmosphere with more than a hint of luxury? Curious where to find fine dining in Wroclaw, as well as cocktails that go beyond what you'd get at your average nightclub? Do you want a romantic getaway but don't want to leave the city? All three hotels I went to – DoubleTree, Monopol, and Sofitel – will do the trick.
For a bright, fun and open atmosphere I might choose OVO Bar. For old-school luxury either Louis D'Or or Cafe Bar Monopol would be appropriate. All three have very good drinks.
I guess you'll have to see for yourself – the party clearly never stops in Wroclaw (at least if you have enough cash!).

Finally, singing dad's tune
Australian Bernard Tomic reminded tennis fans of his potential as he reached the last 16 at Wimbledon today, but admitted it was hard not having his father there.sports Updated: Jun 30, 2013 01:29 IST
Australian Bernard Tomic reminded tennis fans of his potential as he reached the last 16 at Wimbledon on Saturday but admitted it was hard not having his father there to watch him triumph on the sport's greatest stage.
The lanky 20-year-old scored one of his biggest triumphs as he progressed with a hard-fought third-round victory over French grass court specialist Richard Gasquet 7-6(7) 5-7 7-5 7-6(5).
It was a change for the headlines to be all about tennis. His father and coach John is facing a court case for allegedly assaulting his son's former practice partner, Frenchman Thomas Drouet. Tomic senior has been suspended from ATP events pending the outcome of the case.
At the start of his post-match news conference, Tomic said he really did not want to talk about the situation with his father, who is in London for the tournament but banned from the All England Club grounds by Wimbledon officials.
But then he opened up after persistent questioning, saying "When I leave the site, I'm with my dad. He's helping me at the tournament. We're doing the right things. I'm not doing it on my own. My dad is still involved," added Tomic, who as an 18-year-old qualifier made it all the way to the Wimbledon quarters in 2011.
Right things
Tomic rang his father straight after the match. "He said I did the right things to have a chance of beating Richard." Asked what it was like to look up on court and see his father was not there, he said: "It's difficult. It's not the same feeling."
Questioned as to whether he might ask Wimbledon to relent and let his dad in now he has made the second week, Tomic could not resist jokingly telling reporters amid much laughter: "Yeah well maybe my dad is watching. Maybe you just can't see him."

The United States on Saturday vehemently denied claims by Afghan officials that it had killed several civilians in an air strike in volatile eastern Afghanistan.
Afghan officials had said 11 civilians, including women and children, were killed when a private vehicle was struck in Haska Mina district of Nangarhar province, a hotbed of Islamic State activity, on Thursday.
But United States Forces-Afghanistan said in a statement the air strike "killed a number of militants".
"The militants were observed loading weapons in to a vehicle and were under surveillance until the vehicle was destroyed by an airstrike," said Bob Purtiman, a spokesman for American operations in Afghanistan.
"The strike was conducted in the middle of open terrain. There was zero chance of civilian casualties.
"This was the second false claim of civilian casualties in the same district in the last three weeks," Purtiman added.
Of the roughly 13,000 foreign forces in Afghanistan only the US carries out airstrikes.
They have been regularly targeting IS fighters who control several districts in restive Nangarhar.
Civilian casualties caused by NATO forces have been one of the most contentious issues in the close to 16-year campaign against insurgents, prompting strong public and government criticism.
Last month a US air strike killed 16 policemen in Helmand province. It came after a US air strike in Sangin killed at least 18 civilians, mostly women and children, in February.
Civilian deaths are at an all-time high in Afghanistan. In the first half of the year, 1,662 civilians were killed and more than 3,500 injured, according to the United Nations.

"Buzzelli will have you packing your bags for a move to northern Michigan."-KIRKUS REVIEWS (starred review)Something nasty is afoot in Emily Kincaid's northern Michigan town-besides Emily's increasingly cranky friend Deputy Dolly. When the body of a brutally slain woman turns up in an abandoned farmhouse, Emily and Dolly uncover a disturbing pattern. Bodies of dead dogs are being thrown into migrant Mexican workers' yards-a gruesome warning to keep someone's despicable secret.Clues to unravel this macabre affair seem woven into the manuscript Emily is editing for Cecil Hawke, an eccentric English author. Each page paints an eerily familiar picture of intimidation, madness, and murder. But reading further into the Englishman's twisted fiction could spell Emily's untimely death.

I am only 6 weeks along and having alot of trouble sleeping. Any advice hints or tips?

I have never been one to sleep on my side and I find every time I roll onto my back I wake up and its like 3 or 4 times per night and then I have to re-fall asleep every time.

i never slept on my side always my stomach so it was hard for me... try getting a body pillow it worked for me
Ugh I feel your pain! I'm 18 weeks and my sleeping continues to get worse and worse- I wake up at least 10 times a night. My doctor said it's nature's way of prepping us for when the baby arrives lol. I have found that a body pillow really helps, exercising during the day, as well as trying to drink less around bed time. Also a warm shower right before bed helps me to relax and not stress about things at night- which for me equals crazy dreams! Good luck, and if these don't help try taking a nap when you can or talking to your doctor about other options.

In Reader to Reader: "DHCP Conflict" (February 2001), Melissa Wise describes a common situation on our LAN. We have several users who are out of the office for a long time (i.e., their computers are shut down for a period longer than the lease duration specified in the DHCP scope on the server), and the server will often lease their IP address to another machine. Thus, the systems might not be able to release or renew their leased IP address if the server has leased their IP address to other machines.
The following alternative to Melissa's solution doesn't require registry editing. On the DHCP server, make a reservation for the out-of-office user's computer by using the system's media access control (MAC) address and any available IP address. Reboot the computer. The reservation will force the client system to take whatever IP address you reserved for it. Next, delete this lease on the DHCP server. Reboot the client computer. The client system will take the available IP address from the subnet scope and act like a typical DHCP client.

Meltzer was among the first wave of influential rock critics, spawned from the post-hippie New York scene in the '70s. He also wrote lyrics for Blue Öyster Cult. "Burnin' for You" was one of his. Watt, well, he was in the Minutemen, Firehose, Porno for Pyros and is currently bassist for The Stooges, so he's definitely punker than thou, my friend.
Meltzer was an early champion of the Minutemen, who sent their first recordings to him for approval. Thus it's no big surprise that these two have collaborated on a recording, combining spoken-word "spiels" and improvisational music under the name Spielgusher.
The collaboration was first suggested 25 years ago.
"I was gonna recite some texts backed up by the Minutemen, but then D. Boon died," says Meltzer. "Then maybe 10 years ago Mike said he could get some musicians to provide backup and we could try to do something this time around."
Using pre-recorded pieces by Meltzer as inspiration, Watt recorded the music in Japan with Yuko Araki (drums) and Hirotaka "Shimmy" Shimizu (guitar) of Japanese avant-pop ensemble Cornelius. The result is a combination of quirky, almost jazzy, but brief improvisations under beat-inspired and very male-centric musings on sex, love and mortality.
"My heart is a lump of lard in my throat. Back off. The Heimlich maneuver will kill me. Have I ever suffered like this?" he says in "Lard." In "Bottomless." he reads, "Remembering your smile, I fall into that bottomless pit. That is ... is it heaven? Or just your tarantula-occupied psyche?"
There are musings on mortality from a man who knows that most of his life is behind him, as are the dreams of youth. "All we get from life is dashed hopes, mangled and bungled dreams," he says in "Life."
"I've been writing for 45 years and whatever I expected to accomplish, I've certainly accomplished a lot less," he says. "I'm contented with the realization that it doesn't get better, but I'm glad that it wasn't worse. "

Coffee & Chocolate Chip Morning Zing Pancakes Recipe
Ready for an awesome way to start the day? I thought these coffee pancakes would be fun way to change things up around here. Now that the kids are much older, I say kids but they're all teens, it's safe to experiment with bolder flavors, including coffee here and there. Around here there are a few things no one really likes: baked asparagus, spicy food, and coffee. I'm blessed to have to deal with only a short list. It use to be a lot longer, however, by changing up how some foods were prepared, everything changed. For example: fried cauliflower 🙂 Back to the pancakes. If you find yourself in a creative rut, start experimenting with new flavors. Try things you may normally avoid… you may surprise yourself.

Top 8 Free Chocolate Sun Butter Power Balls Recipe
Is it me or are power balls all the rage as of late? (Jump To Recipe) I of course couldn't be left behind, like how I was with the unicorn craze. I still regret that a tad bit… Oh well. I suppose it's for the best. So power balls are a great way to get energy into people, especially kids. They're extremely versatile, and super easy to make. You can whip a batch or two in no time, and freeze extras if you'd like. When I make them, they don't last more than a day or two.

Dark Chocolate Detox Brownie Recipe
Ready for brownies with a hidden healthy boost? Good! [Jump to Recipe] We partnered with Navitas to bring you the Immunity Caramel Squares a few weeks ago, and now we've created brownies that incorporate their Detox Daily Boost. We've also included several other Navitas products so you can get your shopping done on one website 🙂
The kids told me that the detox boost isn't noticeable, and that these brownies have a hint of fruity flavor in them, which was a nice surprise. They also LOVED the brownies with caramel sauce. I'm thinking the brownies would make a great addition to an ice cream too. See how versatile these boosts are?

For Nut Free: Use Maple sugar instead of coconut sugar. It's a 1:1 exchange. Read More
Navitas Immunity Caramel Bars Recipe
We've partnered up with Navitas to bring you a few new recipes featuring their new Superfood Boosts, which are amazing. What's even better is these boosts are organic, gluten free, and vegan, meaning they're safe for many to enjoy. Today's recipe features the Immunity Boost which is full of healthy fruits, vegetables, antioxidants, and enzymes.
Now, if you've been a long time reader of the blog, you know that I look at things totally different from those around me. Show me a product (and tell me what it should be used for) and I'll imagine many other ways to use it. In fact, when I first met the Navitas rep and he showed me the Boosts, I said, "This would make a great cookie." He was totally caught off guard as he had never thought to use it that way.
I share that to say this: don't let food allergies and special diets stop you from creating awesome food. In fact, use your "weakness" as a strength. In the case of these Boosts, I wanted to make them the strength of a dessert 🙂
Allergy Status: Wheat/Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Egg Free, Soy Free, Peanut Free, Yeast Free, Cane/Refined Sugar Free, Sesame Free, Legume Free, Low Histamine, Diabetic Friendly, Paleo, Vegan, Nut Free Compatible, AIP Compatible, Corn Free Compatible
For Nut Free: Omit the coconut sugar and replace with additional maple sugar.
For AIP: Omit the flax seeds. You will need to add 1 extra Tablespoon of cassava to your filling. Also know that the removal of the flax creates a more crumbly bar (that still tastes delicious).
For Corn Free: You will need to assess if the Navitas powder is safe for you. All of the other ingredients are available from safe sources. Read More
Meat Lover's Brussels & Rice Recipe
Today I want to share with you something that the kids absolutely loved: Meat Lover's Brussels & Rice. It was a quick lunch that I put together, but they went back for thirds. My favorite thing about this recipe: it incorporates Brussels Sprouts. I was surprised when they were much younger how much they liked meals that included sprouts, and have continued to add them when I can.
As some of you may know, we are a homeschooling family, so on rice days I'll often start the rice cooker with veggies on top in the steaming insert before running an errand or taking the kids somewhere. When we get back, half of the meal is ready to go. This meal is no different.
Allergy Status: Gluten/Wheat Free, Dairy Free, Egg Free, Soy Free, Nut Free, Peanut Free, Yeast Free, Onion & Garlic Free, Allium Free, Sesame Free, Legume Free, Cane/Refined Sugar Free, Corn Free Compatible
For Corn Free: Source safe ingredients. This one is a bit of a stretch, but not impossible. Read More
Carrot Cake Ice Cream
There are so many days where I think I'm nothing short of a mad scientist. I love to ask myself, "I wonder if xyz would work…" and this time, it was carrot cake in ice cream form. Turns out, it does. Now, for those of you who may have a single allergy, such as eggs, feel free to start with a more traditional ice cream recipe, then add the items towards the bottom of the ingredient list that helps this ice cream stand apart.

No-Bake Cheesecakes ~ All The Details
No-Bake Cheesecakes are simply AWESOME. Please refer to this post before making cheesecakes. I've put together all the best information in one place for you.
First, Let's Talk About Cream Cheese Options
When you're dairy free, there aren't a lot of options when it comes to cream cheese. If you're big on homesteading, you can make it yourself. That would be the cleanest option. If you're new to dairy free and have no idea where to being, you're most likely looking to make a purchase. Below are the three leading brands of cream cheese available in most stores that cater to people with food allergies. However, be warned, they each come with strings attached. Read More
Allergy Friendly Cookies 'N Creme No-Bake Cheesecake & Peppermint Creme No-Bake Cheesecake
If you asked the kids, they would tell you that I have saved the best for last. That may be true. Cookies 'N Creme is one of their all time favorite flavors, so it's no surprise that they took to this cheesecake so quickly.
If you have a soy allergy along with a wheat allergy, I'm sorry but you won't be able to make this recipe easily. The only allergy friendly creme cookie is made by Kinnikinnick, and it contains soy (and potato). You would need to make your own cookie at home first and then use it along with either Kite Hill or Daiya cream cheese. While it can be done, it's not quick and easy, which is what this No-Bake Cheesecake Series is all about.
Before you jump in, if this is your first rodeo, be sure to read through our No-Bake Cheesecake Basics post. In that post, I go over all you need to know about the different brands of cream cheese, as well as ratios, tips, tricks, and more. You can also see all 13 flavors of our No-Bake Cheesecake Series here.

This page tells you what wheels can be used, and what prep the wheels need. Most of the wheels you get will be castoffs; fortunately by being un-picky we can use most of them.
A Gray-B-Gon evapotron uses three bike wheels, 24" and up: two for the drum and one for the propeller. Your mission is to select usable wheels, refurbish and adjust them, and group them in threes.
What's usable? Wheels have to have axles and working bearings, and that's about it. Usable wheels may:
• be front or rear wheels, hollow or solid axle,
• have one axle extending less than OR more than 1/2"
(two different supports),
• have bent rims, up to 2" or so out of true,
• have loose spokes or (a few) missing spokes,
• have cracked rims,
• have less than perfect bearings,
And for rear wheels only,
• have a freehub or a threaded hub
• have a gear cluster, which you'll have to remove.
Use only alloy wheels. Set a chromed steel wheel aside, to be used as a last resort.
Drum wheels are supported (on the outer face) by angle brackets drilled to receive an axle end. Axles that extend 1/2" or more will rest in an angle bracket with one hole drilled out to 26/64". Some hollow axles are very short or nonexistent; to support one of these, drill the angle bracket to 13/64", then slightly bend a short or long skewer and force it gently through the angle bracket and the axle.
Rear wheels are particularly useful. A freehub will support a propeller pulley; a freehub or a threaded hub just fits a 1-1/4" PVC pipe, and so can be used to stabilize a PVC drum axle. If there's any chance of running short of freehubs for propellers, avoid using them on drum wheels.
Classify wheels as potentially propeller or potentially drum. The two drum wheels must have the same diameter. Each can be either a front or rear wheel.
A propeller needs a rear wheel with a freehub, and need not match the drum wheel size. If the axle is hollow, you may be able to use a quick-release skewer. If you don't have one that fits, you'll need an extra nut (see Extra Axle Nuts below.)
Refurbishing Dispose of tires, rim tape, spoke reflectors, and gear clusters. Wipe the wheels clean -- not sanitary, just well enough that they don't soil everything they touch. Alcohol and a paper towel work well. Adjust the bearings by loosening one cone far enough to squeeze some grease in on both sides, then adjust the cone to a generous amount of play; perhaps a half turn or a full turn out from perfection.
Missing spokes Install soft iron wire to substitute for missing spokes. Cut 15" of soft iron wire and make a small coil at one end that will anchor at the rim hole. Guide the wire through the rim hole and in toward the hub with needlenose pliers, weaving it past the crossing spokes to the spoke hole in the hub flange. Tighten, bend over, push through, bend over, and clip to 1" or so. It won't carry the load of a real spoke, but it will support a propeller blade or maintain twine spacing.
Giving front wheels a center We use 1-1/4" PVC pipe for the drum axle. It fits freehubs and threaded hubs perfectly, but on some front wheels the pipe end skates around on the spokes and won't stay centered. On such wheels, build a cage looking like a three-petaled flower of soft iron or copper wire. Pick three spokes, more or less symmetric, close to the hub. Wrap wire once around one spoke, then guide it to the next spoke, leaving about an inch of "slack", then repeat on the third spoke, and around to the first again. Bend as needed to make a roughly triangular cage that fits the PVC pipe.
Preparing axles On each drum wheel, one end of the axle must show 1/2" or more of exposed thread To lengthen the exposed axle, you can either remove a spacer, or "shift" the cones and locknuts toward the other end. On the finished drum, these axle ends will be caged by angle brackets; they won't need axle nuts to clamp them.
On a propeller wheel, one face carries a freehub which will eventually support a pulley. Turn the wheel over. Over this axle end place a GA2 angle bracket drilled out to 26/64", and either a nut tightened on the bracket, or a skewer with its lever facing you. Adjust the skewer (by turning the skewer nut, or by adding or removing spacers) so the lever tightens the axle against the angle bracket.
Extra axle nuts A solid-axle propeller wheel, or a hollow axle missing its skewer, needs one extra axle nut (or cone nut, or cone used as a nut), for clamping the axle to a metal angle bracket. There are a half-dozen or more different thread standards, so finding the nut you need can take some work.
Salvage the axle nuts, cone locknuts, and cones from wheels you've rejected.
Ask at bike shops; they probably have a collection of old nuts, and they may be willing to give/sell you some, or to order new ones to sell to you.
Some threads may be available from other sources. Some Home Depot hardware departments carry 10/1 nuts (diameter 10 mm, pitch 1 mm) which fit most modern large-diameter hollow axles.
I have used epoxy putty, wrapped around an axle, to cast a nut.
Final grouping Make up groups of three wheels. On the propeller, mount the extra axle nut or skewer and wrap a few inches of "blue tape" (blue or white masking tape) around it so the propeller is identified (and so it won't unscrew by accident). On every wheel, write the shop or co-op's name on a piece of white tape and attach it to a spoke. This will tell the workshop organizers which shops to reimburse with $4/wheel donations.
Tie the three wheels together with a piece of string. Leave about a foot of slack, to make the wheels easier to stack for transport.
