When our Neurologist first told us about cannabidiol, it was in regards to how shocked he was at how well some of his other kids were doing. I remember him telling me specifically about one child who came in walking and talking when before they were unable to talk or willfully be examined. When I heard him say that cannabis helped a child gain the ability to talk on TOP of having the ability to gain control over his seizures - my heart got hopeful.
It took me months to decide on trying it, despite the numerous times that it was brought up. I was nervous. And scared. But if you know us or have read this Blog, you know how Abram has suffered. You know how many doctors have told us incorrect diagnoses including one Neurologist who told us he was "fine", an Orthopaedic Surgeon who told us he may never walk and a Pediatrician who missed absolutely everything about my son's health issues for the first 10 months of his life.
Before Cannabis Oil:
- We couldn't go out for dinner. The lights were too much. The noise was too much. If a fork hit a plate too loudly across the room our son would writhe in pain, scream-cry and we'd have to leave.
- We could rarely go to the grocery store or to places like Target. Once again - the lights and sounds were too much but so were the smells. I KNEW right away that he was sensitive to smells when as a newborn he would just start screaming and crying if someone had too much perfume on, they smelled too heavily of smoke, if I happened to walk too close to the Pharmacy or if I didn't run by the Detergent and Scented Candle aisle fast enough.
- I couldn't take him to the park with other moms and other kids. The shrill happy screams of other children would send him over the edge. Their noise (and one pitch in particular) would make him suffer actual physical pain and we would have to leave the park with a crying infant.
- I couldn't take him to any of the indoor play areas in the winter-time either. We live in Iowa, as a stay-at-home-mom in the winter here, you NEED to get out but we simply couldn't do that. Instead of meeting up with other moms and other children, we'd go out before the mall was open and let him roam the halls in with the mall-walkers who loved to see him tearing down the hall in his golden walker.
- We couldn't go to splash pads or playgrounds. He didn't enjoy water or tolerate it at all when it was cold. If it hit his skin he actually acted as if it were physically hurting him. Baths were torture for him as well. EVERYTHING had to be room-temperature or it was just too much for him.
- His Sensory Processing Disorder was hard to manage. At his weekly therapies he couldn't handle the sensory bins. He'd literally fold his little body in half and wait for you to pull him right back out. He couldn't handle the gym at therapy either because it was still too much noise and too much going on that he'd just melt down. More than half of each 30-45 minute session was used up trying to calm him enough to do one task.
- Eating was a major issue. Textures could make him have violent reactions. If he touched applesauce or any other wet/squishy/soft food his hand would jerk away as if he touched something hot. Sometimes smells, sights and the feel of food would literally make him gag and/or vomit. He was failure-to-thrive as an infant due to his issues with food.
After Cannabis Oil:
- We can go out for dinner. He isn't overwhelmed by the lights or the noise or people hitting their plates with forks. We haven't had to excuse ourselves from a restaurant mid-meal in months.
- We DO go to the Grocery Store and places like Target. He actually wants to get down and explore. He wants to touch wrappers and inspect packaging. He will actually SMELL SCENTED CANDLES and sign "more" so he can sniff another one.
- We can go to the park to play. Now not only does he enjoy the park, he wants to engage with other children. After meeting a family in the park last month, he climbed up the slide just like our friend's little boy had. He was watching.. and learning and saved it for later. I cried like an idiot at the top of the slide because I got to see him be a daring fearless boy for the first time.
- We got to play at the beach, in the pool and at a splash pad! This summer was also the first summer that we got Abram to go to a splash pad (with a crowd of people), he got in his own pool on our patio AND he walked barefoot on a sandy beach IN the water. I also got to take him to a public splash pad for a picnic one day with some of my friends. Not only did he enjoy sitting on a towel and eating chips and salsa with our friends but he got in the water and had a blast going to all the pretty ladies and splashing water on their legs while giving them his ridiculously cute grin and evil giggle. We also took him to a birthday party at the beach with a lot of noise, a lot of people and he still took his shoes off and walked barefoot in the water and still wanted to swing on the very busy playground before we left!
- Issues with his Sensory Processing Disorder notably improved. He started doing amazing things like: getting IN the sensory bins at Therapy and tolerating new textures, conquering new food textures and touching new and interesting foods (we still have A LOT of work to do in feeding but he sits still and participates now in Feeding Therapy), he is finally gaining his fine motor skills like isolating a finger to be able to push a button!!!!
- He began reaching goals and initial milestones with his Fine Motor Skills. He has the fine motor skill to now be able to stack (3) blocks, use a pincher grasp to pull out puzzle pieces and he is working hard on being able to do the shape sorter, pop beads and peg boards. He also has proven he can isolate his pincer grasp to tug at that annoying werewolf fur on the hood of his costume.
- Bathing is a fun thing for him now. He actually will tolerate water on his head and he is getting on his tummy in the tub and simulating swimming. He kicks and he splashes and it gets him in the face and he doesn't care. Baths are actually FUN! He also enjoys the shower, which was a huge step. He will stand under the water getting it on his face and will try to drink it while he stands there! He also likes to plug the drain with his rear and splash in the water that builds up in the shower basin.
- He got to be a little boy. This is what the politicians don't get. Cannabis oil let my by get to be a little boy. We got to take him to the Zoo for the night set aside just for the Special Needs Kids in our city where he met some awesome Super Heros. We got to take him to my husband's work outing at Adventureland where he loved riding on the tea cups and he began to learn how to ride a tricycle. Before Cannabis - we would never have been able to do any of that. It would have all been too much.
It has officially been a year since Abram was officially diagnosed with Epilepsy. I had no idea what the next 365 days would bring us. But here we are! It only took five MRIs, five EEGs, four long hospital stays, four Neurologists, four Neurosurgeons, four world-reknown skull based surgeons, three Epileptologists, three VEEGs, three sleep medicine doctors, two Nephrologists, two Endocrinologists, two ENTs, two Genetic Counselors, two Pediatric Development Specialists, one Craniofacial Surgeon and one Ambulance Ride.
But today, I can say "My son is 127 days seizure free, today!" I realize that as he grows our need for stronger medicine will most likely rise - which is why I am fighting for changes in our laws.
If you live in Iowa and have been touched by our story, please write to our Legislators! I also encourage you to write to our US Congress by writing to your Senators and your Representatives! Help spread the positive message that Cannabis IS Medicine.

Are you ready to apply for a service dog?
The demand for autism service dogs is high and availability is limited. ASDA must qualify applicants; the process is demanding, but the rewards are great.
Children need to be at least five years old to receive a dog, but since the qualifying process is lengthy, families can start applying when their child is as young as three.
After we receive your application, you will receive confirmation within seven to ten business days. It typically takes four to six weeks for ASDA to review and evaluate your application, videos, and check references. If accepted into our program, your family will be contacted for a phone interview.
If you have questions about the application process, or would like to let us know that you are considering applying for a service dog, please contact us.

Being a cat owner brings lots of joy to one's life. You get to feed your cat, you get to train your cat and you get to play with your cat. Most of the cat behaviors are similar to humans or kids. If you have raised a kid and kept a cat at home at the same time then definitely you can tell the similarity in the behavior of your kid and cat. Just like kids, cats also like to be treated with goodies when they do something good or behave nicely.
You can easily treat your cat with chewy cat food at such occasions. Although there are many readymade chewy cat food items available in the market but due to allergy and stomach acidity issues most of the cat owners like to prepare the chewy treats for their cats at home. If you are also in search of a recipe for a chewy treat for your cat then here is a really nice recipe for you.
Homemade chewy cat food:
Before preparing this food, you must keep in mind that these chewy treats can just be provided as side food items. You cannot feed your cat with these goodies hoping that they will fulfill his hunger and nutritional needs.
- One large sized egg
- 14 ounce baby food of brown rice and jar chicken (the main idea is to add something in meat form; you can also add wet cat food that is available in cans.)
- One fourth cup chopped parsley
- Olive oil-two teaspoons
- Water-two table spoons
- Brown rice flour-one cup
- Brown or white rice in cooked form-half cup
- Extra wet cat food-one large spoon or
- Catnip-one tablespoon
You need to preheat the oven at 325 degree but first you need to adjust the rack in the middle shelf slide of the oven. Next you need to take a parchment paper and line the baking sheet with it. Put the baking sheet in the side after lining it with the parchment paper.
Now you need to take a medium sized bowl, add baby food, egg, olive oil, some water and parsley in the bowl. You can also add wet cat food instead of baby food in the mixture. Next you need to add some cooked white or brown rice and then add brown rice flour in this mixture. You need to stir it until it all turns into a beautifully blended mixture. When you feel that the mixture has turned thick but still its spreadable then you need to stop stirring.
Now you need to bake this mixture. In order to bake it first you must evenly spread the mixture in the pre-ready baking sheet. The mixture must be spread in the shape of a rectangle and it must contain the density of around 1/3 of an inch.
You need to bake the mixture for almost twelve to fifteen minutes. After that you need to take out the baked mixture from the oven, leave it for a while to cool down, slice the baked mixture into small sized pieces and again put it into the oven. Let it again bake for 8 to 10 minutes and then take it out. After the pieces have cooled down, you can keep them in the airtight box for longer life. It is best if you keep them in the fridge.

Flea market at the controversial
Yasukuni Shrine
By Denis Plamondon
Every Sunday is flea market day at Yasukuni Shrine. The location continues to attract many visitors despite its controversy, and numerous vendors benefit by exhibiting their old and rare items under the shade of cherry trees.
*You will find second hand kimonos for really cheap – about 1000 yen – but you can also pay a substantial price for a couple of crystal glasses. This is a good place to acquire collection items.
You just need to sharpen your eyes and discriminate the valuable from the usual rubbish otherwise you can easily be trapped with a variety of not so great articles. Besides the Yasukuni Shrine, you can also visit the War Museum with historical artifacts.
This flea market is small and rarely advertised. In the vicinity, there is a nice park, the Kitanomaru Park, northwest of the Imperial Palace. The nearest station is Kudanshita on the Tozai line. (Tokyo metro map).
Here's a link for flea and antique markets in Tokyo and it's surroundings. Second link for flea markets in Tokyo and Yokohama. *
The controversy surrounding Yasukuni Shrine has arisen with frequent visits by Japanese Prime Ministers who come to pay their respects to the soldiers who died for the nation during the wars. At first glance, one can think that it's absolutely normal for government officials to honor the soldiers who gave their life to the nation. Some neighboring countries to Japan though, perceive such a ritual as an insult since so many of their own citizens were the victims of many of these soldiers. Of the 2,466,000 men and women enshrined in the Yasukuni Shrine, some 1,068 have been convicted of war crimes by a post World War II court. I suggest you read the article in the Sacred Destination Website for supplementary information.

It's right next to 285, that can be both good and bad. It's convienant although not readily acessable, and the Read More high way can be noisy especially ever since they cut the trees down. The staff was great though. And by the way... I never got my rent.com reward card.

The apartment at Water's Edge was in nice condition at move in. The location is good and near restaurants, sho Read Morepping, groceries, etc. When I lived there I had issues with neighbors who were extremely loud and disrespectful of other residents. The laundry facility was in another section of my building so I had to walk outside with my laundry and into another part of the building which was inconvenient so most of the time I just drove to a laundromat for the cheaper cost of doing laundry.

TWPC: 2017 Nissan GT-R
Okay, so this is not exactly what we had in mind for TWPC. And when I say 'not exactly', I mean not at all. Not even close.
Basically, we've called an audible here or, more correctly, Nissan Canada's crack PR staff has called one.
For those who may not be aware, and for those who are, we were supposed to be testing a 2017 Nissan 370Z Touring Coupe this week, but something strange happened on the way to the press fleet pick-up this morning.
While en route, a text message flashed across my phone asking if I might be interested in driving a 2017 Nissan GT-R instead of the 370Z.
Upon realizing that it wasn't a dream and the offer was indeed real, I said 'hell yes!!!' faster than you can say Godzilla.
And so that's how this Blaze Metallic GT-R Premium tester landed in our parking space. We only have it for three days (including today), but that's a small price to pay for being able to drive such a rare (at least on Canadian roads) and legendary performance machine.
Basic specs:
- 3.8-litre twin-turbo DOHC V6 (VR38DETT)
- 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (w/ manual mode and paddle shifters)
- front engine / all-wheel drive
- 565 horsepower / 467 lb-ft. of torque
- 0-100 km/h in about 3 seconds
Even though it won't last long, it should be a great three days of driving so please check back for our impressions on Friday.
And finally, a huge thanks to Jenn McCarthy at Cohn & Wolfe, Nissan Canada's Public Relations agency and Didier Marsaud, Director, Corporate Communications, Nissan Canada for making it happen. You guys rock!

All breeds of dogs do in a various style beside strangers. Some dogs may a short time ago face at them and after do by them.

Your Golden puppy's parents may as well be a contributing factor in determinative his municipal skills. If his parents were too not bad and sociable beside population as all right as with the new dogs, next within may be a illustrious chance that the genes could be passed on to the whelp. Meanwhile, if the parents were unassertive or aggressive, likelihood are that the whelp may have transmissible that attribute as healthy. Puppies usually come into their parents' traits; that is why straightlaced reproduction is all important and that the parents of the pup were compatible in the primary stand.
A pup may perhaps not swot up various of the social signs that his female parent and animal group can guide him if he was detached from them in the past motility seven weeks old.

Trampolining: Fitness Amid the Fun
Trampolines are not only fun—they also make for an effective workout. Read on to learn more about this cardio-burning contraption.
There's nothing quite like the rush of your first time on a trampoline, propelling your body impossibly high for a rush of weightlessness even a bird would envy. But trampolines can be used for much more than recreation. NASA, for example, uses them to prepare astronauts to handle the in-air flips and turns of the Martians' cruel human circus. Jumping on a trampoline also has a marked effect on health, serving as a vigorous cardiovascular workout with minimal impact on joints. The low impact also puts a light amount of positive stress on the bones, which helps them build up mineral deposits. Physicians even recommend trampolining as a way to enhance the performance of the heart and lungs among patients with cystic fibrosis.
Acrobats Collide
The modern trampoline owes its existence to a classic odd-couple encounter. In the 1930s, Larry Griswold, a charismatic acrobat known for his outlandish tricks, was working as an assistant gymnastics coach at the University of Iowa when he met another young gymnast with a curious mind. Since the age of 16, George Nissen had been tinkering in his parents' garage on a project he called a "bouncing rig." Together, the two developed Nissen's idea into a more effective prototype, christening the new contraption the . . . bouncing rig. The name "trampoline" didn't come to Nissen until 1937, when he and a group of fellow acrobats known as the Three Leonardos took their act to Mexico, where Nissen heard the Spanish word for "diving board"—trampolin.

Bribery and Corruption
Transparency International - report on progress under the OECD Convention on Combating Bribery
The OECD Anti-Bribery Convention, adopted in 1997, requires each signatory country to make foreign bribery a crime for which individuals and enterprises are responsible. Transparency International's annual progress report presents an independent assessment on the status of enforcement in all of the Parties to the Convention.
The key findings of the report showed that there are 20 countries with Little or No Enforcement and nine countries with only Limited Enforcement. It is understood that about half of the countries who have joined the convention have failed to prosecute any foreign bribery cases since they joined.

Arthur Nielsen Jr. is a mild-looking man -- small, bald, soft-spoken and methodical. But when he starts talking about problem-solving, the mildness turns to animation. ``I was always interested in problems. That was the primary motivator, to try and solve them.``
Nielsen and his father, of course, practically invented market research. The problem they had to solve was how to make money from it. The difficulty was that the labor involved in tabulating the required data was expensive.
``For years my father would go around and try and explain that his work was worth something. He`d quote the price. And he couldn`t get any takers.`` Companies preferred the cheaper seat-of-the-pants method.
``My father was trying to sell Kellogg Co. A fellow said, `We don`t need your service.` It had its own, a freight car index. Kellogg had a guy stationed outside the gates trying to see how many carloads General Foods shipped out,`` Nielsen says. He laughs, recalling the primitiveness of it all.
When Nielsen Jr. joined the company in 1945, fresh from the Army, A.C. Nielsen Co. was only a $4 million business. Son Art had worked summers at the company, sorting through mounds of data cards and using slide rules to get answers. ``We had to find some cheaper way of getting the data. I had the good fortune of seeing a machine when I was in the Army, and that damn thing cut the costs of calculations.``
The machine was a forerunner of the electronic computer. Oh, sure, it was the size of a living room and was designed to turn out aallistics analysis on artillery. Nielsen asked the Army scientists if this thing could be used for business. ``They said this was just a scientific machine. I said, boy, it multiplies and divides for you. That`s easy, they said. I said, that`s all we do. Our company adds stuff up and divides and multiplies.`` In 1952, Nielsen took delivery of one of IBM`s first computers. It counted more quickly and cheaply than people could and helped to make the business work.

Title: The Blueprint: From Gangster Disciple to Growth and Development
Author: Rod Emery
Publisher: Morris Publishing, 1996
Format: Paperback, 118 pages

The Blueprint: From Gangster Disciple to Growth and Development - Rod Emery
Chapter One: "The Gangster Disciples"
pp 10-15
The Black Gangster Disciple Nation was born out of two organizations. In the beginning, there were two separate organizations: The Disciple Nation, whose President was David Barksdale, and the Gangster Nation, whose President was Larry Hoover. There were many branches of both organizations.
Some of the Disciple Nation under David Barksdale's leadership were: Devit's Disciples, Falcon Disciples, Royal Disciples, Renegade Disciples, Executioner Disciples, Boss Pimp disciples, East Side Disciples, Sircon Disciples, Motown Disciples, Dutchtown Disciples, Gonzato Disciples, Six-Tray Disciples, Maniac Disciples and four-Tray Disciples. Also during this period of time, David Barksdale controlled the Del Vikings, the Black Souls, and the West Side Cobras.
Some of the branches of the Gangster Nation under Larry Hoover's leadership were: The Supreme Gangsters (the first branch was considered to be the father of the gangster nation), Imperial Gangsters, African Sniper Gangsters, Raven Gangsters, High Supreme Gangsters, Russian Gangsters, Maniac Gangsters, Mafia Gangsters , 75th Street Syndicate Gangsters, Outlaw Gangsters, 95th Street Supreme Gangsters, the Dells Gangsters, West Side Suprem Gangsters, Racketeer Gangsters, East side Syndicate Gangsters, Gent town Gangsters, and the Black Pimp Gangsters of the West Side.
Everybody in the City of Chicago who as a Disciple or a Gangster was under the leadership of David Barksdale or Larry Hoover, respectively. Up until that point in our history, no one in an organization had ever been referred to as a "King."
At the time, the Vice Lords, the Blackstone Rangers (Stones) and the Disciples were the three major gangs (street organizations) in the City of Chicago. In terms of membership numbers and organizational structure, the Vice Lords were the first major gang in the Lawndale area. Some of the businesses that they opened were a Restaurant, clothing boutiques, Tastee Freeze, pool room, Teen Town Dance Studio and an art studio. In addition they offered many programs for the benefit of the community.The Vice Lords reached their peak between the years 1957 and 1967. They were the father of the "Super Gangs: and had their origin on the west side of Chicago. They were the forerunners of the concept of changing street gangs into organizations.
In the years 1963 and 1964, two southside street gangs started to take a form that would eventually evolve into two of the most powerful street organizations in Chicago. They were the Blackstone Rangers and the Black Disciples. During the reign of these two organizations, the Blackstone Rangers were believed to be the most organized because they held national recognition, support from prominent business men, entertainers, and politicians. They entered into business ventures with the late Sammy Davis Jr. and had the support of W. Clement Stone, a self-made millionaire and business entrepreneur. However, one of the most impressive displays of political power and community importance of a street organization came when Jeff Fort, leader of the Blackstone Rangers, was invited to the late Richard Nixon's inauguration.
The Blackstone Rangers were originally founded by Eugene Hairston and Jeff Fort. Under Jeff Fort's leadership they prospered and changed their organization's name to "the Black P. Stone Nation" and eventually they became known as "the El Rukns."
David Barksdale, the leader of the Black Disciple Nation, had an organization that was comparable to the Blackstone Rangers. Although he did not receive the same amount of national recognition, he was well known through the City of Chicago and was respected by his friends and feared by his foes. At the time, David Barksdale was the most revered street gang organizer in Chicago.
On the other hand, amongst these two major street organizations on the southside of Chicago were the Gangster: A young street organization striving for a place of high recognition and respect in the City of Chicago. The Blackstone Rangers and the Black Disciple Nation were vying to bring the Gangsters in as part of their respective organizations. Jeff Fort, as leader of the Black P. Stone nation, brought Larry Hoover an offer to incorporate the Gangsters as part of the Black P. Stone Nation's structure as Gangster Stones and offered Hoover the less favorable position as an ambassador within the Black P. Stone Nation. In Hoover's mind, such a merger would swallow up the Gangster identity. Therefore Hoover declined.
When Jeff Fort offered Hoover the opportunity to incorporate, he was unaware of just how strong the Gangsters were rapidly becoming. With branches of Gangsters throughout Chicago, Hoover's empire had reached the Morgan Park area on the southwest side, across 95th Street and well into the far-south edges of the City. The Gangsters swelled from Ashland and Halsted on the west to Cottage Grove on the east. Pockets of Gangsters were scattered throughout every district on the southside of Chicago and membership was rapidly growing on the Westside. Larry Hoover had put together the Black Gangster Disciple Nation, which would vie for power and battle the Stones and Disciples for years to come.
In January 1969, David Barksdale, leader of eh Disciple Nation, developed a broader vision about the mission and purpose of street organizations (commonly referred to as "street gangs"). In essence, David was tired of the senseless violence and mayhem that was destroying the black community because of street gangs' warfare. He struggled with the idea of how to bring an end to the constant gang warfare that existed between the Disciples and the Gangsters. He realized that such a state of existence would only bring about self-destruction in the lives of ghetto youth. Therefore, he made an offer that Hoover could not refuse. David proposed merging the two organizations with Hoover sharing equal power. From that merger, THE BLACK GANGSTER DISCIPLE NATION was born. This began the era of "Kings."
Never before in the history of Chicago had gang leaders been known as "Kings." Looking back, it was an ambiguous situation, but it was a necessary compromise to stop the gang wars and save the lives of members on both sides. David Barksdale was wise enough to know that by bringing Hoover an offer to share the throne of gang leadership as two Kings with equal power, Hoover would accept and thereby end the bloodshed between the two organizations. David was willing to give up so much because he had a broader vision and a creatively positive direction for the new organizations. Such were the circumstances surrounding the birth of "THE BLACK GANGSTER DISCIPLE NATION."
The merger was uplifting for both organizations. It allowed many negative energies to turn into positive energies and together the two unified organizations became active in community affairs. They opened and operated a gas station, two restaurants, community clean-up programs and enforced school truancy policies. The Englewood Business men's Association worked hand in hand with our organization for the betterment of the community. The Black Gangster Disciples were given a security contract for Wilson Junior College, located on 70th and Stewart Streets in the Englewood district. Our members were given jobs in the 63rd Street shopping concourse as security guards, salespersons and they also worked in the neighborhood bank. One of our members still holds the same job he acquired during this period.
The Business Men's Association assisted us in obtaining centers for the organization. The first to open was on 63rd and Normal Streets and 61st and Halstad Streets, out of which David Barksdale operated a free breakfast program for the community. Another center was located at 6th and Halsted Streets, out of which Larry Hoover operated a free lunch program to feed the needy children in the community.
Our trouble as an organization began when we started dealing in big city politics. Before that, we were largely overlooked. We became active in community issues and got involved with the Reverend Jesse Jackson and Operation Breadbasket. We formed the LSD Coalition, which as an acronym for Lords, Stones and Disciples. We marched and picketed the "Red Rooster Grocery Store" which was a large food chain that contribute primarily to the black community. We were successful in shutting down the Red Rooster chain and stopped the selling of bad meat to the black community.
We marched with the Reverend Jesse Jackson to force the hiring of Black Contractors to help build Circle Campus; we made up 80% of the participants in that march. We marched nonviolently with Dr. Martin Luther King in Marquette Park during the peak of the Civil Rights Movement. We were fast becoming known as a potentially powerful grassroots organization that would carry the fight against racism, segregation, inequality and unemployment right up to the City Hall steps, as well as throughout the voting booths of the City of Chicago. In essence, we became a threat to the status quo of inner-city politics and the powers that be.
Mysteriously, all major street organizations had drugs made readily available to them for mass distribution throughout the black community. Of course, drugs had been in the black community all the time, but with very limited access. Then all of a sudden, as we matured into a power to be reckoned with, our membership began to receive highly lucrative offers (from here to fore unknown sources), to package and distribute drugs for a living. After becoming so positively involved in the social and political aspects of our communities, drugs were introduced to shut us up politically and appease us financially. However, drugs also ended the positive direction of our organization's movement. In that sense, the powers that be could not have (been) happier. As an organization, we had fallen into their trap and they closed the door and swallowed the key.
Shortly before the flood of drugs into the black community, there was a spirit of camaraderie, a sense of belonging which fostered love (our 1st principle), honesty and a feeling of being a part of something great, our organization. Many problems were solved in our neighborhoods because everyone looked upon each other as part of the same family. Drug dealers and users were initially frowned upon. Nevertheless, with the huge and lucrative influx of drugs, suddenly drug dealers were success stories; the role models for instant riches; representatives of "the good life."
Our organization lost many of its members to the drug game either directly or indirectly. The positive potential that these lost members had in unimaginable and immeasurable. Through drug usage, loyalties shifted or became non-existent. Those who were not consumers splintered off ot control turf or neighborhood strips. Our losses continued to swell. Many of our members became known as the "walking dead" (dopefiends) and were constantly in and out of jail and prisons throughout the State of Illinois, as well as the Country of America. As far as the positive growth and development of the members of our organization is concerned, the users, sellers, and all associated with the drug trap paid a price that has yet to be tallied.
While jobs, social and educational programs are constantly being slashed out of the government budget, drugs have become an industry in the black community as well as in poor communities nationwide. Some of us who were caught in the trap have become aware of the fact that a great change is needed in our lifestyles. Larry Hoover is one of us who has become aware and his message is that we need to focus our energies toward eradicating the predicament that we find ourselves in.
The "BLUEPRINT" will not only enrich our lives, but it is a progressive step for many of us in the return to a positive direction. - Rod Emery

Most of us prefer to heat and cool our houses or apartments with simple-to-use machinery such as furnaces and air conditioners. The next level of difficulty in heating might be the use of a woodstove for heat, or opening and closing windows for cooling. But you can go one step further and build a heat grabber.
A heat grabber is a simple box, painted black, that hangs outside of a south-facing window. The box is hollow and insulated. The sun strikes the black flat face, heats the air inside the box and the hot air flows naturally up and into the room. Some folks add a small fan to the unit to move the air further into the room, but it can be used effectively in a small room even if you don't use a fan.
So, would you be willing to build and use a heat-grabber box to heat a cold room in your house? If so (or not), tell us about it in the comments section below.
I built a similar design last fall. I ligned the inside of the box with soda and beer cans painted with flat black bbq paint. The whole box is approx 3ft wide by 5ft high. I used insolated 4 in dryer duct to vent it into the house. On sunny days when the temps are above 20 which is most winter days I can top out at 110deg. If its over 30 out i can get 120+deg air. The front is plexi with a slight bow design. The cans give the heater a larger serface area whiches increases heat out put. I plan on making a few more as this 1 heater saved 100 gal of oil this year compared to last. E mail me for pict and more info. firstname.lastname@example.com
Absolutely! We live in Maine, and unfortunately our old house only has two small windows on our south facing wall. I've been thinking about this project over for about three years. I'm hesitant about cutting holes in the house for a wall mounted unit, so I'm going to make a window heat grabber first.
I built this heat collector in Sept. 09, installed it Oct 1st,then enjoyed only 6 days of sun in Oct. (Chicago area) Those 6 days produced great heat. Days of sunlight are less than I expected. It is now Jan 8th, 2010 and since Dec 20 or so we've had 4 good days of sun. I sure hope this year is unusual. Last week I measured 94 degrees input air, while outside temp was 20 or so. I have the duct work stopping at our inside double hung window so we can close the window when it is not producing - a must - it is cool when not sunny and at night. I want to build two more for south facing windows, one more this winter still. Thanks MEN, keep up the good work.
I'm thinking of something like the solar grabber that fits through the wall and hangs on the side of the house but I think this is a great idea .Probably the more surface used the more heat you get . When money is so tight the looks of the grabber and other energy saving devices aren't as important as the looks of an empty bank account and wallet. Keep up the good work and let us know more. I've installed the solar shed lights inside the house as a start to reduce my electric consumtion . They're inexpensive , easy to install and since lighting uses a lot of energy it helps us reduce that bill. They can be left as is or dressed up . I used an "easy wireless switch" from tv ad to operate them .These lights works great for power failures too . I'd love to go total wind and solar, but can't afford it all at once so I'm taking tiny steps .
I've ofter thought this was a great idea, until I realized my house has large south-facing windows. So on sunny days (the only time a solar hot air system would be running), my southern rooms are already warm, and my northern rooms are bedrooms where hoone spends time during the day, so who cares if they're cold? Now, my last house was a different story, since it had only one south-facing window, with a lot of morning shade. If you have a home that is poorly designed/oriented for passive solar, this could be very useful. But I'll have to save my pennies for a system that stores the sun's daytime heat into the night, and summer heat into winter.
My steel casement windows won't allow for this design. However, I built a large solar collector on the back of the house over the last couple of weeks. It works great! In the afternoon, I've measured temps in the collector up to 96 degrees F! Besides, it blocks wind from an uninsulated wall and the crawlspace opening. (Structure is 8ftx8ftx15ft, all wood and plastic sheeting.) This one is temporary and experimental. Precursor to a large solarium, combination covered patio and greenhouse attached to the house. I'll be building that over the summer. Going to include upper vents and solar chimney for summer cooling.
I am building one of these to collect morning sun. My house is shaded from afternoon sun where I have windows. I also am building a green house on the south right up against my house. It will be a huge solar collector to help heat my house.
For those serious about solar heating should join the following Yahoo! groups: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/SimplySolar/ http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/SolarHeat/ Also visit: http://www.builditsolar.com/ I have one small solar air heater in operation and now building a larger one (8' x 12'). I live in cold MN. Chad Urvig
This sounds fantastic: I heat my hole house with a ventless gas fireplace and it is toasty for very little money. I keep the heater in the living room and it heats all the way to the bedroom about 50 feet away. The bedroom is a bit cool, by choice. Sometimes I do wish I had more heat on the realy bitter days. If I pump up the living room it will be too hot in there. As luck would have it one window is south. I am going to try this if it is not too entalied. But if I can build a large chicken coop alone I think I can handle this. So now I have no phone bill no cel phone bill and 1/4 the heat cost, can I go any lower?
Back in the 80s I bought the plans for this from MEN and built one. It worked pretty well pumping heat into my dining room window. Unfortunately for me I did not have a good south facing window, the dining room was more west-south west. Still, it pumped hot air into the room on sunny but bitter cold days in the winter! I recommend it. Jim
Sorry I forgot to add -we live in maine.still have to add the dust protectors,and outside dump vents.I just covered the holes this summer inside with radiant barrier pieces for the time being.we used aluminum flashing.
We built one also last feb 08'. The heat temp coming into the room was 117*. We built it from safety door glass,painted inside black-insulated,metal strips covering all the wood strips & baffles.We hung ours on the wall in the dining room- cut the wall holes.We plan to build one even bigger on the living room wall.
Built a similar one last February. On the 1st day air entered unit @ 69 degrees and exited at 153 degrees (Outside temp was 43 degrees). After that, we turned off our traditional heat when we left for work each day and turned it back later that evening. At most, our interior temp declined 4-5 degrees during the day. Substantial power savings.
Joan, If not built correctly it will lose heat at night. But it's an easy fix. Install 1/4 or 1/2" hardware cloth (screen) on the intake and outlet ducts. Then mount some 6 or 8 mil plastic (top edge ONLY) to the ducts. Outlet (hot) on the house side, inlet (cold) on the collector side These will act as check valves for the reverse air flow at night. The statement about the fan was partly right, the air out will seem cooler. But the reality is that you will get more heat out with the fan. I proved it to my self with a non-contact thermometer testing the box and glazing with the fan on then off. The law of thermodynamics (or what ever) says that the higher the temperature in a container the more heat will be lost through the walls and glazing. The simplest way to hook up a fan is a small 12volt solar panel and a 12 volt fan. When the sun shines the fan does to and visa versa. Gordy
We just bought property on a lake in central British Columbia and are hoping to fix up the old house for year round use. We have good southern exposure and although winter days are short, they are usually sunny. The zone is USDA 2 which means - 40 F to 50 F for, possibly, weeks. Very little wind, though. Like Joan from Saskatchewan (I grew up there, love it, but the wind is too much for this old hippie) I want to keep horses, goats, chickens, and I already know that horses do okay outside at these temperatures (they grow a thick coat) so a bit of solar warmth in their shelter will feel cozy, I think. So, yes, bring on the plans.
I saved plans for a very similar unit from MEN in the early 80s. Haven't built it yet, but keep thinking of it. And with the demise of my heating system last week, as well as having already spent $20K on replacement windows this year, I think now may be the time to reduce expenses wherever possible.

I built a window solar collector years ago when I lived in the Santa Cruz mountains of California. Mine was a basic modified design I got from the 60's Whole Earth Catalog (hippies needed heat too). I used a very old 4'x8' CDX (exterior grade) plywood sheet and built a 2"x2" picture frame around the edge. I cut out 4" holes at top and bottom. I then used black mastic to attach cat food cans for heat grabbers to the face. I painting the cans flat black as well. I capped it all with old window I had laying around and caulked it tight. I was lucky(???) enough to live in an old cabin with a crawl space underneath (brrr). I attached flexible dryer vent to both of the 4" holes I'd cut in my plywood base and ran one through a window using a piece of 1"x6" to hold the vent and block the rest of the window opening. The other I routed under the cabin and through the floor on the other side of the room for my cold air return. A little insulation wrap on the ducting and the southern sky gave me all the heat I needed. Maybe a little crude, but that little solar collector worked extremely well. Natural convection is all you need. I don't recommend a fan as accelerated air is cooled air. It worked well for me and I think it's still there.
Obviously, this is only effective during the day, no matter where you live! But at night, we should all be sleeping in flannel sheets and down blankets with the heat off anyway! I'm going to try it. I've struck out, so far, finding a welder to follow the MEN plans for a wood stove. :(
I have to agree with Joan on this one. Steve I would suggest that aluminum would be a better choice than using steel. I lived in Fredonia New York back in the early 70's and made a very effective solar hot water heater that reduced my gas bill noticeably even in the winter. I suppose that some areas of western New York have serious cloud cover during portions of the winter but I believe that the heat grabber would see enough sunshine to make it an effective boost to your heating which would reduce your heating costs. Try it out and see, what have you got to lose? If it works you ahead of the game and will certainly reduce your use of finite resources.
As long as your not in a climate like mine in WNY. We get way too much cloud cover during the winter months, for any solar applications to be viable alternatives but we too make up for it with wind. If I were in say Saskatoon like Joan I would want to amp the grabber up a notch with some simple additions. Like adding some 1/4 inch plate steel to the inside back, painted black to really get the BTU's super charged. I might even add that steel in an according fashion to increase surface area. Then that baby would probably serve the dual purpose of being able to cook the chickens as well as heat them. LOL
Absolutely! It is on the list of "projects to investigate and perhaps try" that I have gleaned from Mother. Trying it on our Homestead would be a real test: we are a three-generation family unit of newbie Homesteaders living in East Central Saskatchewan, Canada. We fled the city life last year to learn how to Homestead. So much to learn! Mother Earth News really helps with the learning curve. We have a small herd of Dexter and Dexter cross cattle and Chantecler Chickens to practice on. Lucky them! They all need proper housing and we are looking for cost-effective and affordable ways to house them and protect them in winter. Alternative methods appeal to my adventurous nature! Especially wind and solar – we have so much of both! Next year we are planning to build a proper chicken house for our Heritage Breed Chantecler Chickens (my vote is for cordwood). Meanwhile, I am already thinking of ways to help keep their current house (a grand overstatement, I assure you!) warm during our extreme winters. A heat grabber sounds like a great idea if it works in our harsh winter climate. Last winter, we spent a lot of time at minus forty Celsius (same temp as minus 40 Fahrenheit!!). This number is not counting wind-chill, which was often in the extreme ranges as we get a great deal of very strong winds roaring (and I do mean audibly ROARING)down from Northern Canada and the Arctic. Imagine minus 40 with 50 kilometer winds.... windchill, indeed! This winter is supposed to be much like last year. My one concern is will the heat grabber actually work during the winter in our extreme climate conditions or worse, function in reverse at night due to wind or thermal dynamics, or some other factor we aren't aware of? We don't want to open the coop one morning to find "chick-sicles"! Has anybody used one of these things in Northern climates (slightly south and east of Saskatoon SK) before? I am still researching...thinking….but the idea really appeals!

California State University, Chico, Center for Regional and Continuing Education, the Globalization and Localization Association and the Localization Institute announce early enrollment for the 2008 Localization Certification Program and Localization Project Management Certification.
These localization programs address the organizational practices and software tools designed to avoid costly problems such as poor language translations, culturally insensitive designs and cultural gaffes on Web sites that alienate customers.
The Localization Certification Program will be offered on the campus of EUROMED Marseille Ecole de Management, Marseille, France, March 31-April 2, and on the campus of Saint Louis University, at the Boeing Institute of International Business, St. Louis, USA, June 16-18.
The Localization Project Management Certification will be presented April 3-4 at EUROMED Marseille Ecole de Management and June 19-20 at Saint Louis University.
Now in its third year, the Localization Certification Program was developed by industry experts, representing the leading professional associations, publishers and academic institutions in the field, in response to the growing demand for localization professionals. More than 150 professionals have now received certification through the program.
"The localization industry continues to mature, as more and more businesses and organizations are learning the positive value of 'localizing' their products and services with properly translated messages and culturally sensitive Web sites," said Professor Nitish Singh, Saint Louis University. "The industry has now topped more than $8.8 billion in translation and localization services, and our current research demonstrates that there is more room for growth and improvement in this emerging market." The localization certification program includes 45 hours of online course work on topics such as global Web site development, cultural adaptation of user interfaces, software internationalization and multilingual content management for global enterprises.
After completing the online instruction, participants will attend a three-day intensive workshop where modules on strategies and processes for today's industry will be presented. The workshop will be followed by a certification exam.
Faculty and experts from the industry will present the latest approaches, tools, and applications and workshop participants will benefit from a substantial number of hours of hands-on software training in the emerging localization tools and technologies.
"Our presenters represent some of the major leaders in localization," said Boris Bartikowski, associate professor of marketing, EUROMED Marseille Ecole de Management. "Last year we hosted experts from Lionbridge, Oracle, SDL Trados, Idiom Technologies, Microsoft, Cisco and HP, just to name a few. We will also highlight leading businesses who emulate best-practices and working professionals who serve the industry with advanced applications and approaches to localization."
New this year is the offering of the Localization Project Management Certification in Europe. This advanced training in project management will provide more in-depth professional development for participants.
Individuals who successfully complete the Localization Certification Program will be eligible for American Translators Association continuing education credits.
Translators, product marketing managers, Web project managers, business development executives, Web developers and designers, Web application developers, global entrepreneurs, localization professionals, international trade representatives, educators and students in the field are encourage to take advantage of these certification programs.
The program receives additional support through "MultiLingual Computing," a respected publication and news resource in the localization trade.
For more information on the Localization Certification Program and the Localization Project Management Certification please visit the web site or call the California State University, Chico Continuing Education office at 1-530-898-6105.

Deredactie.be is the Flemish (Belgium) government news site and in my opinion one of the best news sites of Belgium. Most of there programmes can be viewed afterwards and the articles sometimes have small clips and those clips don't stay online forever and there isn't an "download" button. Luckily they don't secure there links really hard and it's real easy to download a clip in flash format.
Note: I updated the script (22 nov 2010)

Downloads on My Oracle Support are grouped by product family, then product, then version. The version contains one or more downloads (patches).
For servers and blades, the pattern is similar. The product is the server. Each server contains a set of releases. These releases are not true software product releases, but rather are releases of updates for the server. These updates are called software releases and comprise several downloads, all tested together. Each download contains firmware, drivers, or utilities.
My Oracle Support has the same set of download types for this server family as shown in the following table. These can also be requested through a physical media request (PMR).

The NBA Odds makers have once again made the Warriors a small road favorite. Will Golden State get this crucial road win or will the Thunder roll them again?
The NBA Odds have made the Warriors a -1.5 favorite like at Pinnacle Sports -108. For my NBA pick I am going to back the Warriors to make the right adjustments and win this game four. The Thunder have been looking tremendous but I expect a maximum effort from the league's best team.
OKC Thunder
In game three the Thunder shot 50% from the floor and 32% from distance scoring 133 points with only 12 turnovers. This was the worst beating I have seen put on the Warriors in two seasons as the game really looked like men vs. boys. OKC did everything right and Golden State everything wrong on both sides of the floor but I have trouble believing the same scenario for Game 4.
The Thunder dominated every category most notably rebounds 62-48 and points in the paint 62-44, however it is the shooting percentages that really has my attention. It is not so surprising that OKC had a solid night from the floor but this is something the Warriors can work with and adjust.
I have faith that defensive coach Ron Adams who coached both Durant and Westbrook to make some solid adjustments to make things a bit more uncomfortable for them tonight. As well, this line really seems a bit off making Golden State any kind of favorite seem wrong. Still, odds makers don't make many bad lines this deep into the season so expect them to reap the benefits on Golden State while everyone else jumps the shark too soon on the Warriors.
Golden State Warriors
In game three the Warriors shot 41% from the floor and just 30% from distance while turning the ball over 14 times. As mentioned they looked out of sorts for the most part of game three and were simply outplayed by OKC across the board. However, if we have learned anything from playoff basketball past is that once games are over the next game comes right up and good teams have short memories.
The telltale sign for me that Golden State was out of sorts can be illustrated by one statistic, assists. On the year the Warriors led the NBA averaging almost 29 per game but just had 19 in game three. This team is really unselfish and loves to share the basketball but their usual formula of turning defense into offense and making the extra pass was put on hold by the more motivated and hot shooting Thunder.
This is a classic bounce back spot for one of the best teams of all time and although I backed OKC in game three I think odds makers are not going to hand out any free money which puts the smart money on backing the small road favorite. Expect the Warriors to come out with a chip on their shoulder tonight.
