Earthbags Gone Wild in the Philippines!
Diaz is the Executive Director of My Shelter Foundation which has collaborated with various other governmental and industrial organizations to build new schools and clinics throughout the Philippines. He is quick to point out the many economic and sustainable advantages of this method of building, since the main component is abundant and natural earth. In hurricane-prone areas, such as the Philippines, earthbag buildings can withstand the ravages of nature better than most other systems. And with thicker walls, they are more thermally stable.
Here are several pages where you can find out more about the humanitarian works of Illiac Diaz: earthbagbuilding.com/articles/filipino, earthbagbuilding.com/projects/school, earthbagbuilding.com/projects/clinic.

As competent national authority, the BMELV is responsible for governing genetic engineering in general. Thus the Ministry of Agriculture is the relevant authority for amending the Gene Technology Act, which regulates the cultivation of genetically modified plants and contains general rules on co-existence. The task of developing detailed rules on co-existence in terms of Good Agricultural Practice for the cultivation of GMOs also belongs to the BMELV. The German parliament (Bundestag) must approve all amendments, as must the Bundesrat in most cases, the representatives of the federal states.
Usually, also the ministries of environment, of health and of economy have a say in questions on genetic engineering. In many cases, legislation on genetically modified plants is limited to the adoption of European Commission regulations into national law.
The Federal Research Centre for Cultivated Plants – Julius Kühn-Institut (JKI) belongs to the Ministry for Food, Agriculture, and Consumer Protection. It has been involved in several research projects concerning co-existence. It is also involved in the scientific assessment of GMOs intended for deliberate release.
The federal states are responsible for enforcing labelling and traceability rules. To that end, the states' food and feed inspectors control imports of agricultural products and food and feed processing facilities by taking random samples and checking relevant documentation (for an overview of the states' inspection results see GMO-Compass). Representatives of the different surveillance authorities regularly meet in joint state and federal working groups to agree on uniform monitoring standards. The Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety (BVL) coordinates the working groups. In the European Network of GMO Laboratories (ENGL), which develops and tests standards for analyses on the European level, Germany is represented by the by the following five institutions:

A long time friend allowed me to ask her some questions concerning her families "cycling way of life" I loved her story and thought it keeps in theme with being "cyclelogical." Thanks so much Duane and Jessica for sharing a bit of your life and showing us how it's done! ~AT
Where do you live? We live in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.
Careers/jobs? Duane is a certified prosthetist (makes artificial limbs), and I am a student at the University of Saskatchewan, majoring in linguistics. I also work for the University Language Centre with international students, teaching english and introducing them to Canadian culture.
Ages?Duane is 32 and I am 31.
How long have you been commuting by bikes as a family and or individuals?
For as long as I can remember I have believed that if you are able, you should power your own mode of transportation (ie, walking, cycling). Although I had a vehicle it remained parked in my driveway while I made my way around the city by foot and by bike. I finally fully committed to the cycling way of life in 2006 when my car died. Duane has been car free since roughly the same time. He made a long haul journey from Vancouver, BC to Calgary, AB over the mountains on his bicycle, and has remained committed to his bike ever since. When we moved to Saskatoon in 2008, I have to admit that I was somewhat nervous about cycling through the winter, but now that we have been doing it for the last 3 years I feel empowered and freed by our decision.
What lead you to start commuting by bike?
I believe the ultimate reason we both separately began living by bicycle had to do with the fact that Duane had just gone back to school and he didn't want to invest in a vehicle, and that the transit system in Vancouver was so accessible that he felt he didn't need one. I basically didn't want to invest in a vehicle after my old one had died and also found the transit system in Vancouver to be more than adequate. There was no need for a car in that city. The real challenge came when we moved to Saskatoon. It was then that we made a conscience decision to be without a car, and to use bicycles as our main mode of transport. The transit system in this city is lacking and we found that cycling was actually much quicker than riding the bus.
What is the best part of commuting by bike in your city?
There are a few great aspects of riding bike in Saskatoon. One of them is that it is an incredibly flat city, so rarely are you faced with a challenging hill. For this reason, all demographics of people are capable of riding. Also, because it is a small city, it doesn't take you very long to get from one end to the other. There is also quite a large cycling community here so there are many people of like mind. At every festival they offer a bike valet where you can drop off your bike at a location and it is taken care of.
What is the worst part of commuting in your city?
The worst part about cycling in Saskatoon is that it is a city comprised of people who have moved from small towns and farms. They don't know about or value other modes of transportation and they want to drive their big trucks and maintain their single occupancy vehicles. It seems as if there is a lot of hostility from drivers towards cyclists here, and there are often confrontations that take place…sometimes on a daily basis. There is a real lack of knowledge about bike safety and a real lack of cycling infrastructure. This is something that a certain bike advocacy group in the city is trying to remedy.
How do you plan to commute now that you have a little one?
We just had our first child a month ago and this new addition to our family has not changed our resolve to remain carless. We visited Amsterdam last year and were introduced to their specific style of cargo bike. We decided that if we were going to have children that we would need to have something like this. My husband has begun building this bike with a friend, and when finished we will be able to lash a car seat to the box and transport our baby. When she is older, the box will have a bench seat that she can sit in while still being able to haul other cargo. Throughout this coming winter we will likely walk most places or use public transit.
How do you deal with the weather challenges in the colder months?
Cycling in the winter is not as bad as most people initially think. When people drive places they don't dress appropriately to handle the cold so they automatically think that it must feel the same if you are cycling. The truth is, we are so well dressed that we never feel the cold. Also, because we are constantly moving (and because cycling is innately more difficult in the snow) you get hot quite quickly. The best way to battle the frigid temperatures is to make sure that there is no exposed skin. Ski goggles, neoprene face masks and snowboard helmets to keep your head warm. A sweat wicking shirt, and a winter coat maintain the core, and polypropylene long johns, wind pants and warm boots keep your lower half well protected. Because I tend to get cold easily, we have found that small hand warmers in your mitts help to take the edge off. Studded tires are also a necessity.
Favorite trail or area to ride near you?
Saskatoon is known as "Bridge City" with 6 bridges that span the South Saskatchewan River, which flows through the centre and along downtown. There are trails along both banks that are beautiful and bike friendly.
Best bike shop in your city?
The best bike shop in town is Bike Doctor. They are locally owned and have knowledgeable staff, great mechanics, and ample supplies.
Why do you think it's important to be "Cyclelogical?"
It's important to be "Cyclelogical" for so many reasons. We live in an era where there is constant concern regarding the environment. Riding your bike immediately deals with this issue. You become a part of the solution, rather than a part of the problem. Also, riding your bike simplifies life. People think that it complicates things, but you never have to worry about expensive repairs, paying for gas, or parking (you always get the A-spot), and you spend your time taking the trips you want to. Cycling is also a great way to maintain general health without ever having to step foot in a gym! Your commute becomes your daily exercise, and is much more interesting and fun than a treadmill in a sweaty fitness centre.
Any suggestions/websites/ info for those wanting to be a bike only commuting family?
I feel that it is important to note that cycling is much more than simply a mode of transportation for us. We have come to enjoy it as a form of recreation. We still love taking leisurely rides along the river, we participate in alley cat races around the city, and Duane is a regular fixture in the bike polo scene. There is also a family friendly critical mass that takes place once a month in the summer called "Kidical Mass" that we have attended prior to having a child, which we look forward to partaking in next summer with our daughter. Cycling is very much a lifestyle that we have fallen in love with.
A website that I read regularly is http://www.girlsandbicycles.ca/ It's a fun read about bikes, fashion, and food.http://bikegeekbrown.blogspot.com/ is blog written by a friend here in Saskatoon who is also carless and manages to be so with his wife and 2 kids. These following links are great reads and resources for people who are interested in living carless or in bikes in general.

VIDEO: Boston Celtics media day
Jared Sullinger gets fitness tips from Lucas | John Wall won't be shy about approaching Kevin Durant | Hassan Whiteside doesn't want to be a one hit wonder | David Lee has a ring, now wants respect in Boston
No. 1: Jared Sullinger gets fitness tips from John Lucas — The one theme you hear every year around this time is "so and so has lost x-amount of weight." It's usually met with a ho-hum, although in certain situations, a drastic fitness shakeup is a rather big deal. Al Jefferson of the Hornets recently revealed he has given up fried chicken which allowed him to drop pounds, and now here comes Jared Sullinger and his weight-loss pledge. Although, in this case, it comes with a twist: He was whipped into shape by John Lucas. Sullinger is at a crossroads in his young NBA career; better fitness could make him see a breakthrough season. Here is Chris Mason of the Boston Herald with the details …
Sullinger's weight has been a talking point since the Celtics drafted him three years ago, and it came to a head last season when he was reportedly tipping the scales at 300 pounds. The C's want to see their 6-foot-9 forward around 260. For Sullinger to stay in green, something had to change. His family and Lucas saw that.
"(Lucas) personally came down and he told me ' you've got all the talent in the world, but you've forgotten what working hard is,'" Sullinger said. "For somebody to come all the way from Houston to Colombus Ohio, to stop whatever he was doing, he was there for me, and that's what made me go and workout for John."
Lucas is no stranger to interventions. The former Houston Rocket almost lost his entire career to drugs.
While he was in the NBA, Lucas was an alcoholic and a drug addict. In 1986, the guard tested positive for cocaine, and was released by the Rockets after a decade in the league. Lucas volunteered to go to rehab, straightened his life out, and now helps other basketball players do the same.
Sullinger doesn't have a problem with drugs, but he's had his career threatened by his weight.
"I think John's biggest thing, with everything he went through – being the first NBA player to be kicked out of the NBA (for) drugs – I think John's biggest focus was to not let me make the mistake. Sometimes, it's not always drugs, it can be other things," Sullinger said. "And he wanted to just clear my mind and understand that I could be whoever I want to be, I've just got to make the right choices."
Sullinger was sold.
He went to Houston to workout with Lucas four different times in the offseason, for a total of eleven weeks. Sullinger was put through a series of unorthodox basketball workouts, and his exercising was coupled with a strict diet.
"I went from boxing, to swimming, to on the court basketball, to running track. I did so many other sports – other than basketball – there was one point where I was down in August for two weeks and I didn't touch a basketball. He wouldn't let me be on the basketball court and we just got in shape other ways," Sullinger said.
No. 2: John Wall won't be shy about approaching Kevin Durant — OK, take a wild guess about who will be subject to a Free-Agent Watch this season? Yes, it's Kevin Durant and the obvious choice, besides OKC, competing for his services is the hometown Wizards. Durant learned the game in the DC suburbs and makes no secret of his love for his home base. Besides, the Wizards will have enough cap room next summer and they have John Wall, who'd be a capable replacement for Russell Westbrook should Durant bolt OKC. The odds have Durant staying put, but if so, it won't be because Wall didn't try to convince him. CSN spoke with Wall on a video story; here's a snippet …
"There's gonna be an opportunity to throw a pitch at him to try and get him to come back home," Wall said. "But knowing him he's really going to be focused on taking care of Oklahoma City this season, and I'm going to be focused on taking care of the Washington Wizards.
"When the time is right and he can get away from all that, we'll probably have some conversation and throw a pitch."
Rather than reveal the rest, take a few seconds and listen for yourself.
No. 3: Hassan Whiteside doesn't want to be a one-hit wonder — What can a surprise performer do for an encore? We'll all be watching and wondering about Hassan Whiteside, the journeyman big man who came out of nowhere to bolster the Heat in the wake of LeBron James' departure. There will be lots on the line for Whiteside, most notably money; he can cash in big time next summer, when he'll be a free agent and the salary cap will rise. Ira Winderman of the Sun Sentinel spoke with him…
By now, we all know the story. Last year Whiteside rose from D-League reject to the talk of the NBA. After being out of the league, he captivated the media by sharing tales of growing tired of eating rice while playing in China and witnessing car-bombings in Lebanon.
He endured these sometimes-uncomfortable experiences abroad, and spent time in Sioux Falls, S.D., and Des Moines, Iowa, before earning another shot in the NBA. And Whiteside took advantage of the Heat's gamble by averaging 11.8 points and 10 rebounds in 48 games.
As he prepares for an encore performance, Whiteside will no longer have the surprise element. No more playful stories about his unlikely path here. No more candid talk about his rating on the NBA 2K video game.
All everyone is focused on is whether he can produce All-Star numbers, a situation Whiteside is comfortable with.
"There's never any pressure on me," Whiteside said. "There were people who never believed in me anyway, so I don't expect you to start believing in me now."
The 7-foot Whiteside sounds as if he's spent the summer listening to uplifting Journey songs on repeat. He expects the success "goes on and on, and on, and on." A year older, his boyish attributes evident when he arrived last December are long gone. His shoulders are less like a clothes hanger and more like Dwight Howard.
Most days, he's worked out twice daily at AmericanAirlines Arena. Some of it is fine-tuning. Some of it is adding new dimensions he hopes will surprise competitors.
No. 4: David Lee has a ring, now wants respect in Boston — After grabbing a championship ring in Golden State, where his role was reduced with the emergence of Draymond Green, David Lee is looking for a recharge in Boston. It wasn't too long ago when Lee was a double-double guy who could get 25 points or 15 rebounds on any given night. He still believes he's that type of player, and recently spoke with Chris Forsberg of ESPN.com…
The Celtics believe that Lee, acquired this offseason in a swap with the Golden State Warriors, can help a young and impressionable team take a step forward in large part because of his NBA experiences, particularly after winning a title last season.
"I don't think David wants to think of himself as old, because he's not — he's still a young guy in a lot of ways," said Stevens. "But I think that, any time you have guys that have seen it and been there, I think what they can share is important. And the challenge is being able to share that within what you're doing because he's got a transition to make with regard to learning me and learning how we're trying to play and learning our guys that he's playing with and everything else. I think he'll make that transition smoothly. He's a really bright guy. And I will encourage him to be open in communicating to all those younger guys because I think that's important."
The Celtics are hopeful that Lee, a two-time All-Star who was averaging nearly a double-double at 18.2 points and 9.3 rebounds per game just two seasons ago, can not only provide leadership but get back to being an impactful player a season after he accepted a reduced role to aid Golden State's title hunt.
Lee moved to the Boston area a month ago to get acclimated and joined many of the team's younger players for what he playfully called the "preseason to the preseason" with daily workouts. While Boston brought back 10 total players from last season's squad that utilized a second-half surge to earn the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference, Lee has begun trying to establish himself as a veteran leader despite learning a new system.
"I think, for me, it's just about being myself," said Lee. "I've been in the league a long time and I've seen a lot of things, both good and bad. And I think that I'm a guy that, a lot of times, leads by example. I'm a hard-working guy and I think that's something that's good for the young guys to see, when their veterans are hard-workers, because at that point they have no choice but to fall in line and do the same. For the veteran guys, it sets the tone, both in training camp and preseason as the season goes along.
"I'm just going to be myself. I think I'm a pretty likable guy and a guy that can set a good tone by my work ethic."
SOME RANDOM HEADLINES: The Hawks' Mike Budenholzer sat for a Q&A and addressed Al Horford's free agency next summer … Gerald Wallace waived by the Sixers … Tom Thibodeau is sitting in on Bobcats practices … the Sixers thought about chasing Jimmy Butler last summer, but didn't.

2013 Honda Fit EV Lease Lowered
- Fit EV monthly lease price is now $259 per month
- No down payment and includes unlimited mileage
- 240-volt EV home charging station is part of the lease
Honda is the latest automaker to drop the price on their electric vehicle (EV). A 3-year lease of the 2013 Honda Fit EV is now $259 per month. And, in what may be the best part, a 240-volt home charging station is part of the deal. You pay for installation. Honda's 3-year lease also includes routine maintenance, no mileage restrictions and no down payment.
If you're in the market for an all-electric vehicle (EV), you have some really great options. When the Nissan Leaf was essentially the only viable EV available to the public, Nissan was leasing them for about $400 per month. When GM was leasing the groundbreaking EV1, some people were paying as much as $550 per month. Later, the Chevrolet Volt was commanding about $400 per month -- about as much as a Cadillac CTS lease.
EVs have a tough road, but many people are willing to accept the small interior and limited range in hopes of driving around guilt and emissions free. Still, many others were put off by or just couldn't afford the high cost of driving an EV. That's pretty much over. Nissan recently lowered the Leaf lease to just $199 per month, and Chevrolet says you can lease a new Volt for as little as $269 per month. Yes, the Volt is more expensive. Frankly, though, it's more car than other EVs. The Chevy Spark EV is also $199 per month.
Finally, the list of qualified 2013 Honda Fit EV dealers in California, Oregon, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Maryland, Rhode Island and Connecticut will expand to more than 200 by the end of June 2013.
What it means to you: With so many good electric cars available (at lease in certain states), driving one is easier than ever.

Craig Morgan Performs 'Corn Star' on 'Fox & Friends'
Craig Morgan is more than just a country singer. Although he's a mega-talented star, Morgan also served in the U.S. Army for 10 years, worked as a police officer and served a short stint as a Walmart employee. Today (July 13), the 'Corn Star' hitmaker got to talk about his busy schedule and rocking country tunes — and his hit new record 'This Ole Boy' — on Fox's morning show 'Fox & Friends.'
While the media likes to focus on Morgan's service to our country (and rightfully so) the country singer was more eager to chat about his new record with his 'Friends.'
"I'm more proud of this than anything I've ever done," he said. "I even made the comment that it may be the best record that I ever make."
From there, the country boy and his band launched into a rocking performance of his latest single 'Corn Star' to give the audience a preview of just how great his latest album is. After spending several minutes on 'Fox & Friends,' the veteran country hitmaker appeared on 'The After Show Show' to play another song, 'What Matters Most.'
Morgan is never shy about supporting our troops. As a soldier-turned-veteran, it seems that the singer has made it his mission to thank our service men and women through song. Today, the country crooner took his patriotism to a national audience.
Before he played an emotional rendition of the popular tune, Morgan chatted with anchor of 'The After Show Show' about writing a song for Folds of Honor, a charitable organization that raises scholarship money for dependents of fallen soldiers.
"I started writing this song called 'Within the Folds.' It talked about the flag and the folding of the flag," Morgan explained on 'The After Show Show.' "But the organization raises money for dependents of fallen soldiers, so that they can provide them with scholarships. About halfway through [writing the] the song, I realized I was writing the wrong song. Because what matters most is these kids."
Even though Morgan played two live performances on Friday the 13th, he didn't let the superstitious date get to him. A big crowd hooted and hollered throughout both of his performances.

Record point total boosts Penn State to No. 6 finish in Directors' Cup standings
Record point total boosts Penn State to No. 6 finish in Directors' Cup standings
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- A school record point total has lifted Penn State to its highest finish in the Learfield Sports Directors' Cup in 10 years and another Top 10 placing.
Twenty-one of the Nittany Lions' 31 varsity teams participated in their respective NCAA Championship in 2012-13, boosting Penn State to No. 6 in the final Directors' Cup standings. Penn State earned its ninth Top 10 finish in the 20 years of the Directors' Cup, posting its highest finish since placing No. 5 in the 2002-03 standings. The Nittany Lions' last Top 10 finish was No. 9 in 2007-08.
Penn State earned 1,100.00 Directors' Cup points in 2012-13 to break its previous high of 1,041 points from the 2007-08 academic year. The Nittany Lions were No. 3 in the 2012-13 final winter Directors' Cup standings and No. 8 after the fall standings.
Stanford won its 19th consecutive Directors' Cup with 1,261.75 points. Florida was second (1,244.75), followed by UCLA (1,227.25), Michigan (1,138.25), Texas A&M (1,131.50) and Penn State (1,100.00). Oklahoma, North Carolina, Notre Dame and Georgia rounded out the Top 10.
Penn State is one of only nine programs nationwide to have finished in the Directors' Cup Top 25 in all 20 years, joined by Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio State, Southern California, Stanford, Texas and UCLA.
Penn State student-athletes won a school record 11 conference championships in 2012-13, including a record eight Big Ten crowns, adding Big Ten titles in women's outdoor track and field, women's basketball and wrestling to the fall crowns by field hockey (regular season and tournament), men's soccer, women's soccer and women's volleyball. Penn State has won 81 Big Ten Championships all-time.
The men's and women's lacrosse and men's volleyball teams also won or shared their conference crowns.
The Penn State wrestling team, under the guidance of head coach Cael Sanderson, won its third straight NCAA Wrestling Championship, continuing a run of dominance that began in Philadelphia in 2011. The Nittany Lions also crowned two NCAA individual national champions as Ed Ruth (Harrisburg), and Quentin Wright (Wingate) each claimed their second career NCAA titles.
The national wrestling title gives Penn State 12 NCAA Championships (in five different sports) since March, 2007, tied with USC for the most in the nation over the past six years. Penn State has won 23 NCAA Championships since 1993-94, its first full year in the Big Ten Conference, more than double every other Big Ten institution. The Nittany Lions have won 69 team national championships all-time.
The Learfield Sports Directors' Cup standings were developed as a joint effort between the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) and USA Today. Points are awarded based on each institution's finish in up to 20 sports -- 10 women's and 10 men's.

The most common method still used is learning grammar, getting a couple of examples, move on to the next grammar points. If you have no knowlege of grammar, as it is, I'd highly recommend you reading up on either English grammar if that is your naitive tongue, or that of the language that is. Noun, adjective, adverb, verb, pronoune, relative pronound, grammatical case, gramattical voice, gramattical gender, accusative, dative, are a couple of key words that are handy to know.Parsifal wrote:Greetings to all,

In a case of classic supply and demand, the Black Forest fire is expected to cause rental prices in Colorado Springs to continue their five-year climb and boost home sales in the city.
The fire destroyed more than 500 homes, and many of the occupants will have to find a temporary place to live. Rental property was already in short supply before the fire, said Bruce Betts, broker/owner of RE/MAX Advantage.
On Wednesday, the number of available rental properties in the Pikes Peak Association of Realtors Multiple Listing Service for Colorado Springs was 698, or a 1.5 month supply, Betts said.(The figure does not include private rentals.) The average rental price for those properties had increased to $1,289 per month, compared with $1,200 for the period from Jan. 1 to May 30, and Betts thinks the trend will continue.
"The rental market that is already very tight will now be tighter," he said, "and I think rent prices will continue to go up."
Dan Wright, owner/manager of Gloriod & Associates Property Management, said the number of people renting, rather than buying, has increased over the past three years because of foreclosures, job losses, and uncertainty surrounding the economy. There is also a steady supply of renters from the military.
Wright said the right property, in the right location at the right price, can be rented in less than a month. One home buyer closed on a three bedroom, three bath house near Union Boulevard and Vickers Drive on May 15; Wright had it rented by May 20. Wright's team manages 260 rental properties in Colorado Springs. He said his office had received about 20 calls from people who said they needed rental property because they lost their homes to the fire.
"The fire is definitely going to put pressure on the rental market," he said.
But not be all sectors of the rental market will be affected, he said. Most of the people who lost homes to the fire will want four- and five-bedroom homes, one of the tightestsegments of the rental market, Wright said.
Rents have been climbing in the area for about six years. In 2006, 3,053 Springs residencesrented for an average monthly price of $989, according to the MLS listings, Betts, said. Last year, more than 6,013 properties leased for an average of $1,220 per month.
Brett said the Black Forest fire could also boost existing home sales, as those who cannot afford to rebuild or don't want to, and those seeking rental property for fire victims, purchase single-family properties.
Sales for existing homes within the city already had improved from past years. Agents at Betts firm sold 680 homes from Jan. 1 to May 30, a 22.7 percent increase from the same time last year, he said.
"Our market sales were already strong last year and this year," he said, "and the rental market has been on fire for the last six years."
A total of 4,709 Springs houses, townhomes and condos sold throughout the city from Jan. 1 to May 30, according to the MLS. Betts said some Black Forest residents, especially those with ranch animals, may decide to buy existing homes in that area, rather than wait to rebuild or abandon Black Forest, depending on the amount of destruction to their homes, barns, pastures and other structures.
Sixty-five Black Forest homes sold for an average price of $376,277 from Jan. 1 to May 30, he said. There were 130 homes listed for sale in that area as of Wednesday.
"Which says the demand for property under $500,000 is very strong in that area, and that is true all across our market," Betts said.

Who Are You Calling an Intactivist? (Guest Post)
A Real Intactivist Responds to the Death of Baby Joshua Haskins and the Virtual Mudslinging.
written by pediatrics advocate and health professional, Jennifer Coias
Intactivists are social reformers and, as such, have a long-standing history of ruffling feathers and challenging the mainstream. While intactivism is not new to criticism and attacks from those with opposing views, I've never witnessed something as volatile as the virtual mudslinging that ensued during this past week. Intactivists everywhere have been blamed, attacked and even threatened over what appears to be a complex web of lies and gossip as well as a general misunderstanding of the intactivist position concerning the death of baby Joshua. In order to clear up such a loaded debacle I find it necessary to speak for my community and explain the nature of our interest in the events that lead to Joshua's death, as well as, to address the backlash concerning our community's response to the this tragedy.
Before I delve into the details about the community's true response to Joshua's passing and the allegations leveled against the intactivist community, I'd like to take a minute to outline who intactivists are and what intactivists do. I firmly believe that much of this misunderstanding stems from the fact that the general public genuinely does't understand the work of intactivism. This ignorance leads to hasty generalizations, unfair accusations, and, ultimately, resentment toward a group of people who have done nothing to warrant such foul treatment. Readers need to know, first and foremost, that simply being a person who is against circumcision is not the definition of an intactivist. Simply being a parent who did not circumcise their child(ren) does not make a person an intactivist. A person who was circumcised as a minor (a victim) and is now upset about what happened to them is also not necessarily an intactivist. Finally, it should be known that intactivists are not anti-circumcision. Intactivists are solely concerned with forced circumcision of minors and take no position against the personal choices of consenting adults with regards to their own bodies.
So what is an intactivist and what do they do?
- An intactivist is someone researches heavily to gather scientific evidence for the purpose of educating society and medical professionals as to: the functions of the intact genitalia; the proper care and natural development of the intact genitalia; the true, documented risks and complications of circumcision; and the harms of performing genital reduction surgery on non-consenting minors.
- An intactivist is someone who spends a great deal of time reviewing the following: circumcision statements and the ethical code statements of medical associations from around the world, the history of circumcision, the endless studies conducted for the purpose of either supporting or denouncing circumcision, human rights literature, litigation involving circumcision and any other material that involves circumcision.
- On the internet platform, some intactivists engage in open forum debates for the purpose of using reason, logic and scientific evidence to combat irrational thinking and to debunk common myths about circumcision and intact genitalia, however, other intactivists prefer to seek out parents who are in need of information. Many intactivists provide parents, both on the internet and in person, with information and resources so that they can make an informed decision before subjecting their child to this non-therapeutic surgery.
- At the activist level, intactivists participate in marches and peaceful demonstrations around the globe and push for legislation to regulate routine infant circumcision.
- Intactivists are primarily concerned with promoting bodily integrity - the right to a whole body - as one of the most essential and basic human rights granted to every person regardless of age, gender, race, nationality, religion, class and/or culture (meaning your body belongs to YOU), thereby giving a voice to our most innocent and fragile of citizens: babies and children.
The events leading up to Joshua's death.
Joshua was the newborn son of Jill and Shane Haskins and his short life was plagued with a series of heart complications due to congenital heart defects CHD (congenital heart defects). The events surrounding Joshua's death were posted publicly by his mother, Jill, via her blog; however, have since been removed. For this reason, I will summarize the events leading to the loss of this loved baby boy. The day prior to Joshua's death, his parents consented to an elective circumcision. The doctor who performed the surgery accidentally severed an artery in the penis which resulted in hemorrhaging. The doctor applied pressure and powders to attempt to stop the bleeding, but even after hours of doing so, was unsuccessful.. Only after 6.5 hours of bleeding did a pediatric surgeon finally come to see Joshua's wounded penis. At that point the surgeon recognized that an artery had been cut and informed the his parents that he would need a couple stitches to stop the bleeding. That evening Jill recounted the events in a teary, heart wrenching blogpost titled, I Almost Killed My Son. Jill wrote:
Right at this moment, Joshua is now back on 85% oxygen through his nasal cannula, his stats are in the upper 60s, he's drugged, pale, and his crit levels are 41. They are going to give him until midnight and run his crit levels again. If they have not risen, then he will receive yet another blood transfusion.
I should have known better, I should have said no. I had hoped that he would do well and that it wouldn't be such a big deal. But instead I almost killed my child by consenting....I'm watching him sleep and I'm struggling with extreme guilt over all this. I put him through it, Shane and I chose to have this done to him. It wasn't necessary. Why did we do that? Why is this so freaking hard?
The following day, Joshua went into cardiac arrest and tragically departed this world. He was seven weeks old. Following his death, Jill's friend, Carla, reported on the blog that the hospital doctors had, "reassured them over and over that that circumcision had nothing to do with Joshua's death". Jill and Carla have both reported that there were several mean, attacking comments left by readers in response to the blogposts about Joshua's death. From there it was assumed by Jill, blog readers and even some intactivists that the intactivist community or at least some members of the community were heartlessly bullying, threatening and blaming this grieving mother and family. Jill also tweeted to the Elen Degeneres show, "I just lost my 7 wk old son today. died in my arms. the anti circumcision community is bullying. he died of CHD not circ. help".
Intactivists Respond.
Why can't the real intactivist "just shut the f*** up" (as requested by this blogger) about the death of this infant boy? Well the answer is rather simple: duty. Duty to Joshua and duty to every other innocent baby boy subjected to genital reduction surgery. As a community that seeks truth and transparency regarding the issue of circumcision, we have an obligation to speak up when what is being reported is inconsistent with the facts, especially when the facts would tend to show that circumcision was the primary culprit in the death of a defenseless child. As tempting as it might be to just bury our heads in the sand and let our knowledge and experience go unused, doing so would be a disservice to our society, to parents and to the boys who we work so diligently to protect. Our end goal is to protect non-consenting minors from the harms of circumcision and to prevent irresponsible actions and decisions, which result in pain and suffering, from going unpunished and undocumented. Mistakes are a part of life, but unless we take the time to recognized and learn from those mistakes they will continue to happen again and again, as has been the case for little boys subjected to non-therapeutic circumcision. One could say that without mistakes and taking the time to process and learn from mistakes there can be no true progress. Based upon the events surrounding Joshua's death, as presented by his mother, there are enough inconsistencies and red flags that make it well-worth everyone's time to investigate his death. Regardless of how things turned out for Joshua, the hospital doctors made some serious errors in judgment which put Joshua at risk, plain and simple. That said, let's take a minute to examine some of the facts and inconsistencies as well as address some intactivist concerns regarding little Joshua's death.
When considering the evidence available to us it is virtually impossible for Joshua's doctors to make the claim that Joshua's death was entirely unrelated to the complications of his circumcision. Peaceful Parenting already blogged about the well documented risk of cardiac arrest and hemorrhage resulting from circumcision. These are real risks for a even healthy newborns and the harsh reality is that circumcision surgery is extremely taxing on little hearts. Readers should know that professional organizations such as the RACP, AAP, CPS and others have even listed circumcision as contraindicated for unstable infants. The day prior to Joshua's surgery Jill blogged:
Now that Joshua is is 'somewhat' stable condition, the doctor didn't want to wait any longer to get it done. There is a risk that comes with having Joshua circumcised. Once babies are bigger, they run a higher risk of bleeding too much. The longer we wait, the higher the risk of bleeding. So the doctor ordered for it to be done TODAY.
Following his death Jill's friend Carla posted the news of his death with the following explanation, "Put simply, he has been working his heart since birth. Every day was a stress on his heart and it was just not able to continue". So based on his mother's perception Joshua was somewhat stable; however, based on the doctor's testimony that everyday was a stress on his heart, it is clear that Joshua was in no way stable and therefore not a candidate for elective surgeries. Additionally, Joshua hemorrhaged for 6.5 hours before a surgeon came to assess his condition. His mother described how they were applying pressure and a powder to stop the bleeding but nothing worked because, unbeknownst to her, the doctor who performed the surgery had actually severed an artery. This level of hemorrhaging causes the heart to work harder and beat faster due to a rise in blood pressure. Combine that with the extra work the heart already had to do during the actual operation and you have one extremely tired little heart. A six-seven hour workout for an already fragile heart will have lasting effects, even into the following day. The heart is a muscle and just as you can feel soreness or tiredness the next day after a big workout, the heart also gets weak and tired after a big workout. If everyday stress was enough for Joshua's heart to give out, would it not stand to reason that the 6.5 hours of extra work his heart did the previous day could have been the finger that pulled the trigger of a loaded gun? How can a medical doctor reason that everyday stress caused Joshua's death but not the added exhaustion from hours of hemorrhaging the previous day? Finally, it is still unclear whether Joshua received a blood transfusion, but if so, that is another factor that could have lead to his cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrest is a well documented risk of blood transfusions. It is entirely possible that the blood transfusion, which would have been required as a result of the hemorrhaging, could have caused little Joshua to go into cardiac arrest. In fact, there were a cascade of medical interventions that ensued after the complications of his circumcision. Given this reality, there are simply too many factors surrounding Joshua's circumcision complications and subsequent medical interventions to rule out circumcision as a root cause of death.
It is highly appropriate to point out that the blatant negligence of the hospital and how that could have played a role in the loss of an innocent life.
-Should doctors have ever cut into the most sensitive, nerve-laden part of this fragile boy's body knowing that he had this preexisting condition and that he was not in stable enough condition to manage even the stresses of everyday living? Why didn't these doctors honor their oath to do no harm and to put the interest of their patient first?
-Should this NICU infant have been left to bleed for six hours without being assessed by a surgeon when it is well known that even an ounce of blood loss is enough to cause hypovolemic shock and 2.4 ounces of blood loss in a healthy newborn results death by cardiac arrest secondary to exsanguination?
-Should doctors have openly pressured Joshua's parents to consent to a non-therapeutic surgery, claiming that the older he was, the higher the risk, especially considering that most parents of extremely fragile NICU babies are advised to wait a full year before electing to circumcise, at a time when the child is stronger and general anesthesia can be used safely?
These are all very hard but necessary questions that community members, government authorities and intactivists should be asking Joshua's medical care providers. The doctors were the ones who were ultimately responsible for Joshua's wellbeing. What is particularly interesting is the way in which the hospital doctors went about reassuring Jill and Shane "over and over" that the circumcision played no role in Joshua's death. In yet another blogpost following his death, Jill wrote, "The team of neonatologists and cardiologists made it extremely clear that Joshua's cardiac arrest was NOT in any way related to the circumcision. His heart simply could not work any more. He put up a good fight, but he just simply couldn't do it". While it is very appealing and comforting to trust that the hospital is telling the absolute truth to these grieving parents, after examining the blatant negligence, it is highly likely that this hospital is just trying to cover up their own fatal errors to avoid a lawsuit, especially in light of the media attention that yet another circumcision lawsuit would arouse (Mario's lawsuit). In other words, we don't buy it! These doctors are scrambling to discredit the complications of Joshua's circumcision as a possible cause of his heart failure but the evidence says otherwise. Doctors probably see it as a win, win situation. They never have to face the repercussions for their errors and Joshua's parents never have to go to bed wondering whether the circumcision was what pushed this baby boy's heart over the edge.
While it might be too late for Joshua, we must think about the next boy who will enter that NICU and about all of the other families with sick newborns who are considering circumcising. It is a fact that almost all infant deaths from routine infant circumcision are due to cardiac arrest and/or hemorrhage resulting from the circumcision. It is also a fact that only a small fraction of actual deaths resulting from these well-documented circumcision complications are formally linked to the actual act of circumcision within the medical record of each victim. This means that while these boys' records report "blood loss", "hemorrhaging" and/or "cardiac arrest" there is absolutely no mention of the root cause, circumcision. This is a huge problem that should concern all parents. Based on this sketchy reporting by doctors, researchers acknowledge that the current statistical figures for circumcision death rates and complications is far lower than the actual death rates and complication rates. If parents are making decisions about the fate of their son's penis it only makes sense that they should also have access to accurate statistical information prior to opting for this potentially life-threatening genital reduction surgery. At present, parents don't have a clear understanding of the true risks of circumcision because the medical community has not been able to provide reliable statistics concerning death and complication rates. Essentially, this means that no parents able to give true informed consent when they sign off on genital reduction surgery for their son. This is yet another reason we need to ask some hard questions when these tragic situations arise.
Intactivists are working against more than a century's worth of misconceptions and tradition. If we are ever to free our world from the hold of genital mutilation, or at the very least expose the truth regarding the dangers of circumcision, we must ask the tough questions and challenge a medical community that continues to partake in cosmetic surgery on non-consenting minors. While educating parents is an important step to progress, the single most effective way to end unnecessary circumcision is to remove this non-therapeutic operation from the hospital menu. We can only do this by holding the medical community accountable for their actions. Gone are the days where people sit back and accept the proclamations of doctors as the gospel truth. Doctors are not gods and they are not perfect. Like anyone else, they have their own agenda and they have their own livelihood to protect. At this point, every medical association in the world agrees that circumcision is non-therapeutic in nature and that there is not sufficient evidence to support routine infant circumcision. So why then are doctors still doing this to healthy babies and, more importantly, why are they doing it to extremely ill babies? I challenge readers to seek the answer.
On the Backlash.
It is evident that an entire community of professional intactivists (who work tirelessly to accomplish the items listed at the beginning of this article) are being blamed for the voices and actions of a handful of people who happen to be against circumcision or possibly even a few trolls (circumcision fetishists in disguise). There is little doubt that several attacking, mean statements were made to Joshua's mother; however, readers should be reminded that the internet is a rather a big space, with contributors from all walks of life. When something is posted on the internet there should always be healthy skepticism of the the origin and validity of the statement. Blog comments and tweets are two particularly anonymous means of communication in which it is very difficult to assess the true intentions and origins of what is written. Let it be it known that our community does have a few well-documented enemies who troll around and impersonate intactivists for the sole purpose of making us unpopular and creating distrust in our organizations and message. In particular, there is a user by the name of CIRCINFO on twitter who has created additional fake accounts in order to cause exactly these types of uproars. Sadly, there are actually individuals, such as this user, who have an obsession with ensuring that pro-MGM (male genital mutilation) propaganda is perpetuated. While I believe it is quite easy to understand why a particular interest group, such as ours, would be in support of protecting children's bodies, it is beyond rational understanding as to why any person would spend their time and energy trying to ensure that doctors cut as many children as possible by way of spreading myths and out-dated information on the internet. The intentions of these particular people are sick and can usually be linked back to circumcision fetishist sites and organizations, such as Circlist. Finally, as stated previously, simply being against circumcision does not make a person an intactivist. People who are simply against circumcision but don't aspire to the goals listed at the beginning of this article often share their opinions in a haphazard manner and create a lot of confusion as to what really constitutes an intactivist. These pseudo-intactivists simply don't have the expertise or experience with the subject matter to make well-rounded, articulate discourse. Any person who made nasty remarks or attacks against Joshua's mother is not, I repeat, not a true member of the intactivist community. The intactivist community has absolutely zero interest in attacking, threatening and/or making cruel statements, especially towards parents who have lost children because of circumcision. Such behaviors are not only fruitless to our goals but they are simply not becoming to a group of people who ultimately wish to promote peace and humanity.
Among my intactivist colleagues, which are innumerable, I have not encountered a single person who is without deepest sympathy for the this family's loss. Let it be known that intactivist community has absolutely no interest in blaming Joshua's death on his parents or attacking a grieving family. Placing the blame or attacking these loving parents does virtually nothing to further any of the goals or interests of intactivism. I'll take a moment to speak for my community... If Joshua's parents are reading this now, I would like to extend our sincerest condolence for your loss. No parent should ever be faced with the agony of burying a child, our hearts go out to you and your entire family.

Bert D. Dunn, a 12-year veteran of the Erie County Sheriff's Office and a community and business leader, announced Tuesday that he is running for Erie County sheriff.
Surrounded by family and friends, Dunn launched his campaign at the original location of Bert's Bikes and Sports, a business founded by his parents in 1972. Dunn noted the vital role that the business has played in his development as a leader in the public and private sectors.
"I learned from an early age what hard work was and the tremendous responsibility of being a business owner, where the needs of your customers and your employees take precedence over your own personal needs," Dunn said. "This is the building where I first learned the management and leadership skills that the Erie County Sheriff's Office desperately needs."
Dunn is a lifelong resident of Erie County, and graduated from Orchard Park High School in 1988. He continued his education at the University of Buffalo, earning a bachelor's degree in business administration, and at Canisius College, where he earned an MBA. He has been married to his wife Michelle for 18 years, and their three children Bert Jr., Brian and Rachel attend Orchard Park schools.
Dunn has worked for the sheriff's office since 2001, working his way through the ranks as a deputy, sergeant and his current rank of lieutenant. He is the day watch commander of the A Platoon for the Erie County Sheriff's Office Police Services. All of his positions have been earned through civil service examination.
During his career in law enforcement, Dunn has also run a successful business. He was the senior buyer and sales manager for Bert's Bikes & Fitness from 1990 through 2004, and has been president of the company since 2004. He noted that Bert's, "has flourished under my leadership and is well known throughout the community. Our success is the community's stamp of approval. We have to work hard to provide the facilities, policies, trained employees and products that our customers want."
Dunn says that his experience in the public and private sectors has helped to form his approach to achieving the best from large organizations.
"In my early years of law enforcement, I developed a philosophy that would allow me to continue my dream of being a police officer and still fulfill my obligations to my family and employees. That philosophy centers on empowering strong employees to do the jobs they are trained to do. Running a successful bricks-and-mortar business in today's competitive and challenging environment makes me uniquely qualified in the law enforcement community. My executive level experience spans over 20 years and has prepared me to run a large-scale operation that is dependent on people to be successful."
"The people of Erie County deserve a sheriff who leads from the front, is passionate about the sheriff's office, who is skilled in crafting budgets and delivering quality services, holds people accountable, understands and embraces technology and plans for the future," said Dunn, who believes that employee development is critical to the success of the agency. "Good training, job enrichment, and a good work environment go a long way in increasing morale and motivation. High morale and motivated employees achieve great things. Quite simply, it is the responsibility of the leadership to provide the necessary tools and resources that the employees need to be successful."
Dunn looks forward to a spirited campaign.
"The sheriff is the chief law enforcement office in the county. It is the only police job in which the people get a voice in deciding who gets hired. Every four years, there is a job interview and the people get to make a choice of who they think will best represent them and protect them. Over the next seven months I plan on convincing the voters of Erie County that I am the right man for the job."

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos tells Dan Lyons, aka FSJ, just how daka FSJ, just how deep his "missionary zeal" for spreading the gospel of the Kindle runs: One day, it's going to kill books entirely.
The full quote:
Lyons: Do you think that the ink-on-paper book will eventually go away?
Bezos: I do. I don't know how long it will take. You know, we love stories and we love narrative; we love to get lost in an author's world. That's not going to go away; that's going to thrive. But the physical book really has had a 500-year run. It's probably the most successful technology ever. It's hard to come up with things that have had a longer run. If Gutenberg were alive today, he would recognize the physical book and know how to operate it immediately. Given how much change there has been everywhere else, what's remarkable is how stable the book has been for so long. But no technology, not even one as elegant as the book, lasts forever.
Also, Bezos isn't afraid of the Apple tablet, even if it does do all that stuff everybody thinks it will, because the Kindle's so darn good at the book thing. A dedicated device for reading? Sounds like a shorter shelf life than books.

Jessica's latest role worth a read
SOLO world sailor and 2011 Young Australian of the Year Jessica Watson will join renowned poet Rupert McCall and AFL legend Robert DiPierdomenico as ambassadors for the 2012 national Read2Remember initiative.
Read2Remember is a joint initiative of two Sunshine Coast organisations, SunnyKids and The Encouragement Foundation, which aims to improve literacy skills and wellbeing among children throughout Australia.
Sunnykids CEO and Read2Remember founder Chris Turner said the three Ambassadors would play a critical role in promoting the event and encouraging communities to work together by developing supportive networks through schools providing children with opportunities in life.
"As the youngest person to sail solo and unassisted around the world in 2010 and Young Australian of the Year in 2011, Jessica Watson encompasses the qualities Read2Remember wish to instil within young people of Australia," Mr Turner said.
"She was thrilled to come on board and we are delighted to have her involvement as she is such as great role model for our kids.
Rupert McCall found success in his ability to capture the essence of Australia and its heroes through his words. He is the author of five anthologies of verse that have collectively sold over 120,000 copies.
Of note is his Green and Gold Malaria which stirs the emotions about what it means to be an Aussie.
"We are delighted that Rupert has written the Pledge of Remembrance for Read2Remember which will be recited by thousands of children across Australia on Friday September 9," Mr Turner said.
Robert 'Dipper' DiPierdomenico had a successful career as a Hawthorn footballer and Brownlow Medallist before becoming a popular television personality and author of five books.
As an Ambassador for SunnyKids, Dipper has jumped on board with Read2Remeber to highlight the importance of literacy and instilling a love of reading in our kids," Mr Turner said.
Watson, McCall and Dipper have teamed up with children's author Angela Bueti, and artists Lloyd Hornsby and Chloe Hart as official Ambassadors of Read2Remember.
Angela Bueti has written the children's book The Quest for Courage which has been sent to 6,400 primary schools across Australia.
All schools across Australia are invited to register for this free initiative which includes a copy of Rupert's poem Pledge of Remembrance which children will recite on 9 November to commemorate Remembrance Day. Free teaching notes for all year levels also accompany the poem and book.

Lady Gaga Reveals Controversial Beauty Secret Involving Facelift Tape
Lady Gaga is known for outrageous makeup and glam wigs and hair, but she has revealed some of her beauty secrets and one involves facelift tape. Her viewpoint about shaping her eyes is a bit controversial, too.
Gaga supposedly confessed that she uses facelift tape to pull the skin of her cheekbones back and to keep her neck tight and in shape. Gaga is all of 28 and has good skin and features, but she is using the tape to give her a boost and to help create eye shapes she wasn't born with.
So she wasn't born this way... that was too easy.
The Mirror reports that Gaga spoke about her daily ritual and regimen, saying, "When I have my wig cap on and I'm taping my face, it's a sort of meditation for me. Every day, it starts the same way. It's like a mantra."
Taping her face?
She furthered, explaining, "I wash my face, I pin my hair back and put on a wig cap and I ask, 'How am I going to form my eyes today with this tape? How will I pull back my neck with tape?'" That sounds almost too prepared of an answer. Is she serious?!
Eye shaping is a bit of a controversial subject, given the fact that some Asian girls have had surgery to reshape their unique almond eyes to give them a more Western appearance. Gaga saying something about shaping her eyes is a wee bit insensitive, since it might make girls think they should change something about their looks that is natural and beautiful.
It's also flying in the face of her edict of loving yourself as is -- remember, she sings about rejoicing and loving yourself today because you born this way.
However, she is creating a character and persona with her looks and style.
Gaga also reportedly said, "Looking artificial can be honest. Being glamorous can come from a place of authenticity and a place of love."
The train of thought and logic there is a bit confusing. Glam can indeed come from a place of love and artistry, but that artificial comment is somewhat confusing.
The Mirror spoke to a cosmetic surgeon, who said that taping can do more damage than good.
Jeya Prakash explained, "By taping your face tight, you are reducing the circulation which means there are less nutrients getting to the skin, so abnormal collagen will be produced. This is like internal scarring as different types of cells form the skin - like with a scar. In the long term, it will speed up the ageing process."
Gaga, you are gorgeous as is. Use eyeliner and shadow, tools and product to enhance your eyes, not tape to reshape.

Christina's Earthquake Shack Bedroom
Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:
- Christina
- Location:
- San Francisco, CA
- Division:
- United States
- What do you love about your bedroom?:
- After a little bit of sleuthing, I'm pretty sure my bedroom is an earthquake shack: dragged from the refugee camps to its current site and attached to another shack after the 1906 earthquake and fire! I love that despite the size (140 square feet: not coincidentally the same dimensions as Earthquake Shack Type A) I've managed to fit a king bed and a myriad of other uses.
- What are your tips for creating a beautiful, healthy and organized bedroom?:
- Be ruthless when editing your possessions; everything needs a place or it goes. Also, in a tiny space, every inch counts: always keep your tape measurer handy.
- In modern homes, bedrooms have become more than just a place to sleep; they can be a retreat, a home office, a library, a relaxation zone. What are some ways you make the most of your bedroom?:
- Along with the king bed, my tiny bedroom is an office, a wardrobe, and an entryway (I prefer to ignore my cottage's street entrance and use the back patio entrance via the bedroom instead). But I've kept the palette white and neutral so that -- despite the multi-tasking -- it's still relaxing and a pleasure to be in.

Welcome to the House of Hemp.
FINE HEMP-2PLY HEMP-DK/4PLY HEMP-NATURAL-COLOURED-PAINTED - We refer to our thickest hemp yarn as either DK or 2PLY. A technical situation, and hope this does not confuse ordering!
We refer to our thickest hemp yarn as either DK or 2PLY. A technical situation, and hope this does not confuse ordering!
Our hemp yarn has been used by professional craftspeople since 2002. We supply three thicknesses of yarn supplying the maker for knitting, weaving, tapestry weaving, jewellery and many other craft disciplines. These samples can be seen in the studio in Cornwall and customers are welcome to visit the studio. We hand colour our hemp in the studio after the yarn has been folded for us at Coldharbour Mill – many, many colours created by Tania and Jane.
Hemp is not processed in this country, so we established the House of Hemp in the hope that farmers could grow this valuable agricultural crop and ….nothing will happen until they have a processing plant to handle the crop. Please note – our yarn comes from Europe, grown and processed under strict conditions for it to be natural. It is not bleached, and therefore has a natural shine due to it not being treated with pesticides or herbicides.
The studio designs exclusive art clothing from the hemp.

I am looking for a hitting partner preferably in the Northeast neighborhood (Fossil Park, North Shore, Crescent Lake). I'm somewhere between a 3.5-4.0. My schedule is very flexible currently and happy to play with anyone at a similar level either matches or just hitting. Thanks.

Hey John...Michael here...July is pretty full for me but my schedule should clear up in August...I'd love to get a hitting/playing partner. Woodlawn has some nice little courts where not a whole lot of people play...let me know...Crescent lake is a little tilted...but doable...let me know if you'd care to hit sometime in August and perhaps we can schedule a regular day and time at a vcourt that works for you. Michael.
Great...will be in touch in early August.
Hi John,
I live downtown St. Pete, so the proximity is close... Are you still looking to play?
Hi John, on the 3 dates you gave me, think I can make the Sunday morning one... What time were you thinking of playing? It would be easier to text me to communicate. 727-687-4808. Thanks, Paul~
Hi John
I'm rating myself about a 4 mostly cause I haven't been playing in a long while. But I'm looking to get back into it if you need someone to go bang it around. I work at USFSP but live near Fossil park but anywhere in St Pete is close.

A roller derby girl named Jillian Bellovary (a.k.a. "Big Banger"), who is a regular user of Herbalife, has some harsh words for hedge fund manager Bill Ackman if the company goes under.
She wrote the following to NPR's Planet Money: (emphasis ours)
....Herbalife is pretty big in the roller derby community because they help sponsor a fitness/nutrition challenge (called Derbalife). The Herbalife products are not at all required for the challenge, but of course they are glad to educate us about them if we want to try them out.
So, if you are wondering who the Herbalife customers are — a bunch of them are rollergirls. The shakes are great and if the company goes under because of this short-selling nonsense then I am totally going to go knock that guy down.
Ackman, who runs $12 billion Pershing Square Capital Management, is shorting more than 20 million shares of Herbalife. He believes the multi-level marketing company that sells nutrition products is a "pyramid scheme."
Ackman has also pledged to donate 100% of personal profits he makes from the short to charity.
Since December 18, the trading session before Ackman confirmed his short, shares of Herbalife are up more than 1.7%. The stock touched a 52-week low of $24.24 a share on December 24 and have moved back above the pre-Ackman short level since then.

We're Going to the Moon!
The Lunar Lion team rockets toward aerospace's cutting edge, putting NASA equipment in students' hands.
In 2015, Penn State's Lunar Lion team plans to put an unmanned spacecraft on the moon. In 2013, the ambitious project is putting cutting edge NASA equipment in students' hands.
Through a recent agreement between the University's Applied Research Laboratory and NASA's Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, students will be able to test bipropellant rocket thrusters powered by liquid methane and liquid oxygen—the type that will play a crucial role in putting Penn State's spacecraft on the moon's surface in the race for Google Lunar XPRIZE.
Kara Morgan, sophomore, says the idea of sending a spacecraft to the moon is "mind-blowing."
For a group of some of the most involved Lunar Lion students, the rocket testing and the overall moon mission is infusing their studies with the sort of hands-on experience that peers at other institutions and even some aerospace workers can only dream about.
Space fever
Lunar Lion has a grip on these students, who are all studying aerospace engineering and officers within the organization.
Morgan was thinking of transferring until she heard about Lunar Lion. Ajeeth Ibrahim, a second-year graduate student from Collegeville, Pennsylvania, declined a dream internship at Ball Aerospace and Technologies Corp. in Boulder, Colorado, to devote his summer to the mission at University Park campus.
"After a project like this, I can't imagine not doing something cutting edge."—Ajeeth Ibrahim
Philip Chow, a sophomore from Malvern, Pennsylvania, was hooked once he saw a Lunar Lion promotional video during convocation for first-year students.
While spreading the word about Lunar Lion at the recent beginning-of-semester Involvement Fair, they heard similar stories from fellow students.
"After a project like this, I can't imagine not doing something cutting edge," said Ibrahim, the president of Lunar Lion.
Sky's the limit
Lunar Lion has set these students on an atypical trajectory. When they're not in the classroom, they're logging in long hours in the lab, often putting concepts from lectures into practice.
The rocket research will familiarize them—and potentially more than 80 other undergraduate and graduate students—with the type of equipment needed for the Penn State craft to make a smooth lunar landing.
Students and engineers at the University will be running tests and sharing data with NASA to improve the rockets' efficiency.
"It's a win for students, it's a win for the University, it's a win for (aerospace) companies and it's a win for NASA," said Michael Policelli, a third-year graduate student from Bangor, Pennsylvania.
Tests will include propellants capable of generating several hundred pounds per inch and liquid coolants at -301 degrees. Powered by nontoxic fuel considered safer than traditional rocket fuels, these rockets are considered green technology.
"At these pressures and temperatures, it's not conventional plumbing," Policelli said.
As part of the only collegiate entity, the Lunar Lion students envision Penn State moving to the forefront of this "New Space" paradigm.
New space
The Lunar XPRIZE organizers aim to put the first spacecraft on the moon since 1973 and are offering $40 million in prize money for private entities that accomplish it. While NASA has experienced cutbacks, startups such as SpaceX, Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin have more aggressively pursued space exploration.
"It (NASA) used to be the only game in town," Policelli said. "Now it's branched out and there are multiple options. It's a whole new world."
As part of the only collegiate entity, the Lunar Lion students envision Penn State moving to the forefront of this "New Space" paradigm.
Faculty and ARL researchers are a wealth of information, they said, with expertise in the likes of power systems, navigation and propulsion. Plus, there's a network of more than 600,000 Penn State alumni worldwide. One parts supplier waives the shipping fee for the team's equipment because the company president is an alumnus.
We are
Before landing on the moon, these students are on a mission to share their enthusiasm, as they build a multidisciplinary framework around Lunar Lion.
Lunar Lion needs the likes of student web designers, social media managers, and videographers. Two students pursuing master of business administration degrees just came on board.
"Stuff like this doesn't just happen with engineers at the helm," Ibrahim said.
As Penn State raises its profile in the space race, the students see the experience raising their stock in the job market. NASA and the new crop of space exploration startups are on their radar, as is maybe one day seeing the cosmos firsthand.
"There are very few people who wouldn't want to go to space," Morgan said.

It started with a vision. And the visionary was Billy Graham.
Over 50 years ago, the beloved evangelist felt the urgent need for balanced reporting and biblical commentary on the social, cultural, and theological trends, issues and opportunities facing thoughtful Christians nationwide. From that felt need came a unique vision that has helped shape the minds and hearts of pastors, thought leaders, and culture makers ever since.
That vision was Christianity Today magazine.
A half-century later, Christianity Today is regarded worldwide as the foremost evangelical periodical for news and opinion. Trusted for its thoughtful and civil presentation of ideas and analysis, "CT" content today extends well beyond its printed pages to a ministry website visited by over 2.5 million readers every month. In addition, CT's sister publications, along with a wide array of digital publications, products, and internet offerings, further engage, encourage, and equip the church worldwide.
The need for Christianity Today and its multi-faceted global media ministry is equally as important today. With its commitment to biblical orthodoxy and to communicating Truth with conviction and love, the CT of tomorrow will continue to provide a global network of readers and followers with timely, thoughtful content on a variety of relevant themes in a variety of media formats …
… equipping Christians to renew their minds, serve the church, and transform their cultures to the glory of God.

Love, Simon
Everyone deserves a great love story. But for seventeen-year old Simon Spier it's a little more complicated: he's yet to tell his family or friends he's gay and he doesn't actually know the identity of the anonymous classmate he's fallen for online.
CAST: Nick Robinson, Alexandra Shipp, Jorge Lendeborg Jr., Katherine Langford, Logan Miller, Keiynan Lonsdale
DIRECTOR: Greg Berlanti
RUN TIME: 109 min
