What Is An Amazing Red Wine For Under $10?
Nothing says "warm me up" like a wonderful, full bodied red wine, and Bendigo food and wine region has produced some of Victoria's best.
Water Wheel winery has been yeilding excellent, rich red wines, as well as refreshing white wines since the first release of their Shiraz in 1974.
Hunter, a knowledgeable wine connoisseur from Dan Murphy's, DFO Essendon had the pleasure of meeting Peter Cummings, winemaker for Water Wheel vineyard in Bendigo, this week. Peter came into the store to show Water Wheel's latest releases .
The Shiraz was wonderful, but the Shiraz Cabernet was out standing, with a rich berry fruit aromas at first, followed by a rich berry fruit driven pallet , perfectly balanced by soft tannins . An absolute cracker, even more so when we are selling it for under $10.00 dollars at Dan Murphy's.
A great drink now wine (a perfect accomponment for the Easter roast) it would happily age for another six years.
A couple of weeks ago I wondered into a new Dan Murphy's, situated at DFO Essendon. Usually when I walk in, I am totally overwhelmed at all the wines available and don't know which one to select. This time I was pleasantly surprised, as there were cards on selected wines with information that was extremely helpful. Then I had the pleasure of meeting Hunter, who has been a wine connoisseur for over 40 years, and also is a qualified chef. Poor Simon, because Hunter and I talked wines for the next hour or so, and of course, we left with a trolley full of some of the most amazing wines I have ever tasted.
Hunter has kindly agreed to write regularly for Cazinc Blog, and we will also have specials on our emails for all subscribers. So if you enjoy wine, keep reading the blog, as Hunter has some amazing articles up his sleeves to share. And if you are around the Essendon area, please pop in to see Hunter. He is kind, patient and knowledgeable. But be warned, he has a huge fan base there and everyone asks for him.
We would love for you to share what your thoughts are on the wine in the comments below, and remember to subscribe at cazinc to receive regular updates.

Dongdaemun market ? Nooo, even though the market is an interesting place to visit in Korea, and also nominated as a popular shopping and tourist destination. Today we are not going to talk about the market.
There is a part which is often overlooked by writers and traveler.
It's the Dongdaemun itself.
This can be proven by the time you write down Dongdaemun on a quite famous search engine ( initialed with G), the topmost result is the Dongdaemun Market. I'm not blaming the search engine but as we know the search result is sorted by the amount of people who have searched with that keyword on the search engine.
I just feel concerned about human being's lifestyle nowadays. Shopaholic has been endemic through all around the world.
In fact this wall is very important during Joseon Dinasty. It surrounded Seoul so it was really useful to reduce risk of war with neighboring countries. Sadly,now it is not considered as a VIP ( Very Important Place) Hahaha. Whereas this wall is quite beautiful with some oriental work on it.
Note : I'm not assuming all of the people isn't concerned about historical place. I'm just trying to foster public awareness of concern for historic sites.

Unknown Acts
The Reverend Tasha Blackburn
April 30, 2017
A letter arrived to the church a couple of weeks ago. With all letters, there is a sense of not knowing what it will be about. You have felt it, I'm sure. You begin to open an envelope and unfold the papers inside and you are not certain if this will be full of praises or protests, brimming with good news or sharing the worst. Email can bring the same rush of emotions but something is lost in the click of a button versus the slide of paper. This is just the nature of any letter we receive. We cannot control it. It has already been written and we have just to take it in, no matter what.
The letter was from a young woman named Ashley Ann Parker. Ashley is in her mid-20s and she was the social worker on the baby floor of Mercy Hospital. She recently took a new job at a hospital in Portland, Oregon. She lived here in Fort Smith for probably about 3 years, not long.
Stephen, whom we meet in Acts today, is not long in our memory. He only appears in 2 chapters. When Luke wrote about him he made sure we knew he was Greek. He told us that Stephen came recommended for a ministry that sounds pretty similar to running a soup kitchen or a food bank. He told us that Stephen stepped out from the group and began giving sermons that got him in trouble and then got him killed.
Any letter Stephen might have written of himself would have included these same things. His speech in Acts 7 is one of the longest ones we have in the New Testament and his Greek identity was important to him. It is one of the main reasons he got the gig with the food pantry, because he could communicate with the people who were using it. If he'd written anything about himself, these would have been two that were at the top.
When Ashley Ann came to the church the first time, she arrived at night. She was coming seeking a church home because she was feeling spiritually dried out. Her work, especially in the Neo-natal ICU was filling her with terrible grief and she was in this city as a transplant, all alone, with the nearest family hours away. When we met her, Phil and I were so excited. We were hopeful she would join the church. Or join in with the young adult group. Or want to take a class.
But she never did. Months would pass and we wouldn't see her at all. Then, about a year ago, we saw her again. She sat in the back of the sanctuary and she often slipped in during the first hymn and left before the last hymn had ended. And it felt like a waste, like a disappointment, like a failure. Ashley Ann had wanted a church, been actively seeking one, and we had not managed to bring her in, to integrate her among us, to involve her in our mission. And now she was leaving, moving on. What a failure.
At Stephen's death, waste and failure hang strongly in the air. This young man, who was so clearly faithful and able, is cut down in his prime. There is not much in this world that feels more wasteful than someone being killed. And yet he was. Even worse, his speech that got him killed, was a strange one to give. In it he really doesn't speak to the accusations against him. He doesn't share about the transformative power of Jesus. Instead he rails at the court that they are faithless and murdering idiots! There are things worth dying for but it feels disappointing that Stephen is killed over these insults rather than over his preaching of the gospel.
And, to cap it all off, it is out of Stephen's speech and then murder, that the Christian community starts being terribly oppressed so that they have to leave Jerusalem and scatter across the region. It feels like a waste, like a failure.
But the thing is, Stephen changes everything. And I don't think it is because of what Luke spent most of his ink writing. It wasn't his speech or even his service at the food bank that changed things. It was his prayer that did it. It is not such a momentous thing that Stephen would pray as he is dying. Most of us would. It is what he prayed that matters. Right before he died he prayed, "Lord do not hold this sin against them." He prayed, Forgive my enemies.
We don't know how many people heard his final words that day. But we know at least one person did. We know Saul heard it because he was right there. And we know that Saul was Stephen's enemy. So, it turns out, that Stephen prayed for Saul that day. Did it matter to Saul, this prayer that was said for him by a dying man? Was this the first domino to fall that would begin a chain reaction that turned his own life upside down? We can never fully know.
We do know that Saul redoubled his efforts to persecute Christians just after this. But we also know that, within a chapter he will be on his knees and calling Jesus Lord. One other thing we know is that Paul talked about his own conversion many times. We have a few examples of it in the book of Acts and in his letters. And almost every time he tells of his conversion he mentions the day that he stood and watched as Stephen died; he watched how Stephen died.
Did Stephen's prayer matter? Did it change the course of Saul's life? Stephen was never going to know, could never have even considered it. We will never fully know either. And that is the point. But the first time he was allowed to officially share anything as an apostle, the one thing he wants people to know about Jesus is this: "through this man," he says in chapter 13, "is forgiveness of sins…by him, you can be set free from your sin." That's it. That is his complete first message about Jesus: he forgives you.
We know that Stephen was the first martyr for the Church. But martyr just means "witness" and, more than someone who died, I believe he was a great witness to Jesus. The letter in the mail from Paul gives us hints that this is so. That Stephen transformed things in ways he never could have foreseen. And we only know because of what Paul writes and sends in his letters.
In opening the letter from Ashley Ann I could not imagine what she would write. Would it be perfunctory: sharing a change of address? Would it be reproving: sorry things never worked but thanks anyway? Here is what she wrote:
"I have never done anything like this before [moving across the country alone]. I really feel
like I have no earthly clue what I'm doing…but I keep praying and putting faith in God…by
the way, I already made contact with First Pres of Portland. Pretty cool bunch…I've been
talking to a lady my age and she and her husband have offered help and support as I make
this transition. They sent me pictures of the sanctuary—reminds me of First Presbyterian.
I want you to genuinely know that First Pres has been the first home church I've known in
my life. Many thanks for being so welcoming and please thank everyone for being so kind
towards me."
Stephen is the first martyr of the Church, the first witness. But he certainly wasn't the last one. Someone martyred Ashley Ann while she was here. Probably way more than one. It took many of you to did this. And you probably never even knew it. And never would have known, if not for this letter in the mail.
But that is how it is. We are always martyring, always standing as a witness to something. And we can lose focus because we do not get many letters reminding us that our witness matters. But it does. For not all letters are sent but they are, all the time, being written. Our witness is being remembered, positively or negatively.
What is remembered is probably not the big banner moments and it is not what we haven't done as well as we'd like. What is remembered is who you are when life is hard. What is remembered is who you point to when it matters. And we are doing it. At least we did for Ashley Ann. So keep being martyrs, all of us, let's keep it up. For we cannot control what will be written about us but if we will be witnesses to Jesus, then we can be assured that the Holy Spirit will write something about us that is more wonderful, bigger and more transformative than we could ever have imagined. Amen.


text: Wasda WASDA Why WASDA? WASDA was developed as a DSS tool to assist engineers and regulators to make prompt decisions in wastewater treatment plant design. In addition, it could also guide users to estimate capital and operating cost for developing new membrane treatment. WASDA contained two main parts, which are (a) knowledge or information base and (b) design calculation spreadsheet. It provided preliminary, primary, secondary, sludge and advanced treatment modules. WASDA gives various options of activated sludge systems, i.e. (a) conventional activated sludge (complete-mix flow) system (b) extended aeration system (c) oxidation ditch system and (d) sequencing batch reactor. WASDA in brief Contains 2 main parts Knowledge/information base Design calculation form Design Advisor or knowledge-based forms Design considerations and parameters Process stages and flowchart Process description General calculation design Provides conceptual and process design recommendations for conventional wastewater, primary, secondary and advanced treatments - proposed by best practical manuals / public authorities (sewerage services / environmental control). Mainly focussed on municipal and industrial applications. Key features Relatively inexpensive to operate, compare with human experts Gives more consistent, reproducible design output especially in various systems for wastewater treatment plants than human experts Good tool since it can help to identify problems faster, examine various alternatives and make a choice Can assist engineer to solve calculation design in a short time compared to manual calculation Meet design specifications as required by appropriate authorities Without WASDA Without WASDA, design and process engineers and approval officers have to perform: Manual calculations for preliminary, conceptual and detail designs Develop their own spreadsheet calculation modules Consult other consultants

A federal judge struck a major blow to the government's case against two Bear Stearns hedge fund managers today when he ruled that jurors would not be permitted to hear about an email in which one of the fund's managers said "We could blow up." The judge in the case ruled today in favor of suppressing the message, which was written in November. "I became very worried very quickly," Bear fund manager Matthew Tannin wrote in the e-mail. "Credit is only deteriorating. I was worried that this would all end badly and that I would have to look for work." Judge Frederic Block ruled that the government's search warrant filed in July with Google to obtain access to the e-mail was overly broad and "did not comply with the Warrants Clause of the Fourth Amendment." That email is considered by many to be one of the key pieces of evidence against Tannin and his boss, Ralph Cioffi. "We could not run the leverage as high as I had thought we could -- or to see that in an extreme event -- we could blow up," Tannin wrote in the email. "I was also very nervous about the state of the market and how we were going to perform."
You can imagine that prosecutors were salivating when Google sent them the message. But now Judge Block has ruled that the warrant that allowed the government to get ahold of the email was "unconstitutionally broad." "The warrant did not, on its face, limit the items to be seized from Tannin's personal e-mail account to e-mails containing evidence of the crimes charged in the indictment, or, indeed, any crime at all," Block wrote. "It was, therefore, unconstitutionally broad."

From Newsradio 620 WTMJ:
The ABCs are apparently no longer as easy as 1-2-3. Recent federal studies indicate that the average American teenager's vocabulary is less than half that of the average teenager in the 1950s.
"A lot of the reasons are that we have a lot of social media now--the internet, texting, MySpace, all those sites that kids go to, and there's not a lot of face-to-face interaction and not a lot of deep thinking anymore," explained reading specialist Maria Corkern. Read full story >>

Would you pay to have your dead body frozen? How about your head? Cryonics anyone?
Did you ever hear of cryonics? I came across an article a few months ago and it got me very curious, enough to want to find out more about it. I had never looked into it before. Do people actually buy into it? How does it work? How much does it cost?
We all (those of us interested in personal finance and financial independence) plan for our future: our career path, our travel plans, our kid's activities and education, our retirement, our journey towards financial independence and freedom. Then we plan a little past that point to ensure we don't leave our loved ones without a good transition plan, simply by having a will, doing some estate planning or even plan and pay for our funeral (now that's planning!).
But how many of us think about the future of our dead body? I mean, I have, briefly, because I don't like bugs and critters so I want everybody to know I want to be cremated. I don't need to think beyond that. It is a personal choice (for others it could be a cultural or religious choice) but nobody would likely call me crazy for it!
But while some of us plan our living years and a little beyond, others are actually planning their "afterlife" life! And it's not cheap.
Welcome to the world of Cryonics!
What Is Cryonics?
Not to be confused with Cryogenics (Branch of physics that deals with the production and effects of very low temperatures – Source: Merriam Webster)
Cryonics is the practice or technique of deep-freezing the bodies of people who have just died, in the hope that scientific advances may allow them to be revived in the future. (Source: Oxford Dictionary)
"Cryonics procedures can only begin after legal death, and cryonics "patients" are legally dead. Cryonics procedures ideally begin within minutes of death, and use cryoprotectants to prevent ice formation during cryopreservation. The first corpse to be cryopreserved was that of Dr. James Bedford in 1967. As of 2014, about 250 bodies were cryopreserved in the United States, and 1,500 people had made arrangements for cryopreservation after their legal death." (Source: Wikipedia)
Does It Sound Crazy?
It does to me! Why would you want to "wake up" years from now, when all your friends and family are no longer around? (Unless you all do it I guess)
And how would you manage financially? I didn't see anything, in the documents I read, about special trust accounts but I guess it's probably available somewhere at an additional cost. How about housing? Would you just show up at your great (or even greater) grandchildren's house? It sounds insane!
Even more puzzling, you can select to only freeze your head!! Why??
Why Should You Do It?
Here are some of the "selling" points the Cryonics Institute is making:
Life is priceless! Imagine a world free of disease, death and aging. They believe that day is inevitably coming and cryonics is presently the best chance of getting there.
Another chance at life: Your chance to live a renewed life in the future.
Future Cures for Today's Diseases: Future medicine will eliminate debilitating and fatal diseases to significantly improve quality of life.
Witness the Future: Don't just imagine the world of the future – personally experience space travel, virtual reality and the other incredible things to come
Renewed Youth and Health: The potential to stop or even reverse the aging process.
- Reunite with loved one! (Not to be negative but your loved ones are gone! And your great-grandchildren may not want you around!)

How Much Does It Cost?
Cryonics Institute:
Here is an excerpt from their membership page:
"There are two classes of CI Membership. A Lifetime Member pays a one-time fee of $1,250 and can arrange for cryopreservation at CI for $28,000, usually by making CI the beneficiary of a life insurance policy. Other close family members can join for an additional $625 (there is no charge for minor children). An Annual (or Yearly) Member pays a $75 initiation fee plus $120 yearly (or $35 quarterly) and can arrange for cryopreservation at CI for $35,000.

More Reading!
Two (of many) interesting articles:
- Would you pay $80,000 to freeze your head… , see excerpt below:
"Each body is wrapped in a sleeping bag of sorts, placed in an aluminum pod, and then slid straight down into the canister with three other bodies, along with five heads in the center column. The tubes are "basically gigantic, very expensive thermal flasks," More explained, turning on the lights. The walls are multiplated, and while a backup power generator supports the room, More assured me that power isn't necessary to keep the frozen from thawing, at least not for a few weeks." ( Source: Mary Pilon )
- The false science of cryonics from MIT Technology Review
Final Thoughts
Honestly, I am probably too simple and also maybe too narrow-minded on this one (sometimes you can't accept things you don't understand) but to me it looks like a money grabbing business! It seems insane to consider freezing your body so you can "wake up" in the future. I would be more open to it if it was done in a medical research environment, at no cost. Or maybe it scares me and I am not ready for that type of science to ever work at all.
How About You? Would You Pay To Have Your Dead Body Frozen?
We all have different opinions and I can't wait to hear from you on this topic. What are your thoughts about Cryonics? Would you consider doing it? Why, why not? Medical and philosophical opinions welcome.
Please pin me:)

Laura Peterman: 2017/18 Season Reflections/
Our Sixth Season has come to a close, and it's time to look back on the year and see what stood out to the dancers.
Laura Peterman
Q. Pick one word to describe this season overall. Why?
A. Uplifting — this season grew not only myself, but the entire company, in a whole new way. It was amazing to see how diligently we focused on lifting each other up and encouraging one another, and how that focus changed and affected all areas of our work and our lives.
Q. What was your favorite moment onstage?
A. To be honest, even the past couple months of performing have been a blur, so it's hard to pick one thing from the entire season! My absolute favorite moment though has to be the end of Shades of Refrain — praying and dancing with my fellow corps members and friends has been so special. Every time we've performed this piece, that moment has stuck out to me.
Q. Looking back, would you say that you learned something new about yourself or found yourself stretched out of your comfort zone?
A. One hundred percent — in all areas of life this past year, I feel like I've changed and grown a lot, especially in how I view and approach challenges. In the studio, I feel like I've gained more confidence and strength than I possessed last season. I still have a long way to go, but I feel much less pressure to do it all in my own strength now — I know that ultimately, God's plan will be carried out, and that I can trust that plan, even when I don't know everything the future holds.
Q. Is there a particular quote or idea that has been inspirational to you this season?
A. I've really been struck this season by the power of prayer and the gift of creation. Getting out in nature and just spending time walking and praying has been so restorative, and I love doing that both alone and with other people. Prayer is so powerful, and admiring God's creation is a rejuvenating act of worship. Bringing that sense of awe, peace, and wonder into the dance studio and onto the stage is something I've been trying to think about more lately.
Q. What are you up to this summer?
A. In June I will be taking some time off to visit my family in Canada, and then I'll be back in Chicago working as a chaperone for the Ballet 5:8 Summer Intensive for five weeks. I'll also be teaching at a summer dance intensive in Alaska for week, which I am really looking forward to. I'm hoping to fill the rest of my summer with lots of camping, hiking, and outdoor time.

Where are you from?
Los Altos, California
What do you like most about Boston?
I love all of the historical buildings - I'm such a history geek!
How did you decide to become an SLP?
After I graduated from college, I did Teach for America in Washington, DC, and taught 8th grade reading. I realized I loved working with language, and wanted to be able to help kids at a one-on-one level, so I started looking into speech pathology. I shadowed a few SLPs and was hooked!
What are your professional areas of interest?
Higher-level language, alternative and augmentative communication, voice, and dysphagia (swallowing disorders)...but to be honest, I love all aspects of our field and find them all fascinating!
What do you like to do in your free time?
Kayak on the Charles River, hike, bike, swim, and READ!

Advocacy 2.0: An Analysis of How Advocacy Groups in the United States Perceive and Use Social Media as Tools for Facilitating Civic Engagement and Collective Action
25 Pages Posted: 8 Nov 2011 Last revised: 19 Aug 2014
Date Written: November 8, 2011
In light of a thriving interest in social media's ability to enhance various forms of political and organizational communication, a survey of 169 representatives from 53 national advocacy/activist groups operating in the United States was conducted to assess the extent to which these groups perceive and use social media as tools for facilitating civic engagement and collective action. Quantitative results reveal that all groups are using a variety of social media technologies to communicate with citizens almost every day. Facebook is the outlet of choice, followed closely by Twitter. Email remains popular with some groups emailing 8 million members each week. Qualitative results suggest that groups believe that social media can facilitate civic engagement and collective action by strengthening outreach efforts, enabling engaging feedback loops, increasing speed of communication and by being cost-effective. While some groups raised doubts about social media's ability to overcome the limitations of weak ties and generational gaps, an overwhelming majority of groups see social media as essential to contemporary advocacy work and social movements, and laud its democratizing function.

I've been writing with a lot more confidence lately. I'm not sure when it happened, and I'm not entirely certain why, but it's there and I've definitely noticed.
So what do I mean by writing with "more confidence"? I can tell you what it doesn't mean… that somehow my writing is better, or at the very least different. It's not like the words on the page have drastically more impact and panache than they did before. No, it's something else, something less tangible.
In the past I felt like my writing was a race. Some sort of contest to free myself from the confines of a career that wasn't rewarding me the way I wanted. I felt as though I was drowning. Like I had something to prove but would never be able to prove it.
But these past few weeks have been different. That stress is gone. I don't fee like it's a race anymore. It's simply a possibility. I don't feel like I need to prove myself. As if there is something to escape.
When I write now, I'm not scared to take a chance. To cut something out. To simply acknowledge that the words I've written aren't good enough, and start over. That's not something I could do in the past. There was this ever present fear in the back of my head. And now… that fear is gone.
I think sometimes as writers we live in a fantasy world where we think that our writing should be separate from our personal lives. That somehow when we sit down at the page, we should be able to block out our the problems, stresses, and every day strains on our lives. Like somehow there is an "off switch" in our heads for all the background noise of our lives. But this simply isn't true.
We are what our lives makes us. We are emotional creatures, not robots. And while we can sometimes channel our personal lives into what we write, we can't ignore that our personal lives effect what we write. There is no off switch.
So why the change for me? Why the pivot? I think a lot of it has to do with my recent promotion at work. I've spent the greater part of the last five years playing catch up. Striving to reach a point in my career where I felt was slipping away. Making up for lost time. And I felt like I was losing. There are a finite amount of management positions available. And if you can't get one by a certain age, it gets harder and harder each year that goes by.
There's more to it than just my promotion, but I think that definitely plays a big part. Without the emotional overhead of feeling like "time was running out", I've been able to use that energy for my writing. Sure, there's still plenty of stress in my life. But it's not the same as before. For some reason, the emotional stress I had been under for several years has just evaporated. And that stress seemed to be a big blocker for me creatively.
It's weird… you don't always realize how some things are connected until you can see the end results when something is changed.
Keep writing,

Central Valley
Marijuana identification card program reviewed by Stanislaus County
A medical marijuana identification card program will come before the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors sometime in the next few months. It's a program that has been in the works for more than 2½ years.
Stanislaus is one of just 12 of the state's 58 counties that does not already have an identification card program, which is required by state law. The programs issue identification cards to medical marijuana users who ask for them. The cards can then be shown to law enforcement officers when patients are stopped and questioned about possession of the drug.
The cards, like the whole issue of medical marijuana, have been controversial. Two years ago, then-Stanislaus County Supervisor Ray Simon called the program "a huge fraud perpetrated on us by the state of California." Modesto Police Chief Roy Wasden also criticized the program, saying it should go through a formal U.S. Food and Drug Administration trial and be dispensed by prescription through pharmaceutical companies.
Proponents, however, point out that medical marijuana use was approved by the state's voters in 1996 in Proposition 215. The federal government still considers any marijuana use to be illegal, but proponents of Proposition 215 point out that issuing the ID cards violates neither state nor federal law -- and not issuing them would violate state law.
Stanislaus and several other counties delayed issuing the cards while legal challenges played out. Now that the ID cards have cleared legal hurdles, most counties have launched programs. San Joaquin County announced its card program last week.
The Stanislaus ID card program is under review to make sure it complies with state law, said Deputy County Counsel Dean Wright. The program will require the county to acquire camera equipment to take pictures of applicants, along with paperwork to ensure that the applicants have a doctor's recommendation. The information would then be forwarded to Sacramento, where the cards will be issued.
Some of the delay in getting the program before the Board of Supervisors has been caused by the small staff in the California Department of Public Health dedicated to overseeing the program, Wright said.
When it gets on the supervisors' agenda is still in question, because the county is wrestling with midyear budget adjustments, said Cleopathia Moore, associate director of the county Health Services Agency, which will administer the program.
The cards are completely voluntary -- medical marijuana users don't have to get them in order to comply with the state law. The cards in theory will prevent them from being arrested if police officers find them in possession of marijuana.
When the medical ID card program comes before the board, members will be faced with a decision to approve or reject a specific program. Rejecting the idea of an ID program carries a legal risk: Solano County was sued last week by Americans for Safe Access for failing to implement a card program.
Most dispensaries banned
In the meantime, the medical marijuana environment in California and the Northern San Joaquin Valley continues to evolve. Most of the cities in the northern valley have banned marijuana dispensaries. That leaves patients with a doctor's recommendation a choice of either driving to the Bay Area, where there are many dispensaries; seeking the drug in the underground illegal market; or growing their own, which is allowed by law in limited quantities.
Medical marijuana advocates say most patients don't want to grow their own. It takes time and some expertise, as well as a place to grow it, said Aaron Smith, California policy director for the Marijuana Policy Project.
Driving to the Bay Area is also inconvenient if not impossible for some patients, Smith said. Some patients are undergoing chemotherapy and are physically unable to cultivate plants or drive for hours to get marijuana, he said.
Sources will deliver
"Many are going into the black market. It's readily available in the black market, but part of the intent of Prop. 215 was that they not have to go to the black market," Smith said.
"They are pushing the market into the dark corners of society instead of open, licensed and inspected dispensaries."
The Web site of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, another marijuana advocacy group, lists several sources that will deliver marijuana to the Modesto area, but the group doesn't vouch for the reliability of the sources, said Ellen Comp, a board member and volunteer for California NORML.
Doctors are more willing to recommend marijuana to patients since a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that it was a First Amendment right of doctors to make recommendations, Smith and Comp said.
In Modesto, a MediCann clinic at 725 18th St. provides patient evaluations and marijuana recommendations. MediCann is a San Francisco-based group with 12 clinics throughout the state dedicated to helping patients with medical marijuana referrals and other alternative medical treatments.

Crime Advisory 09/15/17
September 15, 2017
On September 7, 2017, a student reported to ISU Police that a male suspect she met on Tinder and communicated with via Snapchat attempted to extort her by threatening to share her nude images. On Thursday, September 15, 2017, ISU Police was notified of an alleged sexual assault which occurred at 302 N. School St. by a known male student whom the victim met on Tinder and communicated with via Snapchat.
While both cases are unrelated, the use of the mobile app Tinder in these types of incidents are a significant campus safety concern. Students should also be reminded the sharing of sexually explicit photos and videos without consent may result in arrest and/or discipline.
Sexual assault is a significant concern at college campuses across the country. Nationwide, it is estimated that 20 percent of women and 6 percent of men experience sexual assault or attempted sexual assault during their time in college. In a study published by the Department of Justice, 82 percent of the victims were raped by someone they knew, and 18 percent were raped by a stranger.
If you have experienced an incident of sexual assault/misconduct, dating/domestic violence, or stalking, you are encouraged to get help regardless of when the incident occurred. Students are encouraged to contact Student Affairs Title IX to request any services, protective measures, or interim measures needed.
Confidential Advisors are available through Student Counseling Services. Confidential Advisors provide emergency and ongoing support to survivors of sexual violence. Confidential Advisors are staff specially trained to respond to students, explain their rights and options, and liaise with necessary campus authorities as requested by the student.
– If you notice a situation that seems unsafe for another person, intervene if it's safe to do so or call for assistance.
– While it is always the victim's decision to report crime to the police, reporting is one of the most effective tools we have to prevent crime in the future. For more information about reporting rape, please visit http://titleix.illinoisstate.edu/ .
-Be respectful of yourself and others. Make sure that any sexual act is OK with your partner, and remember that consent is an active process, not the absence of "no." Don't assume you know what another person wants.
-Don't feel obligated to do anything you don't want to do. "I don't want to" is always a good enough reason.
-Although you can never completely protect yourself from becoming a victim of any crime, you can reduce your risk of being targeted by walking in groups, avoiding isolated or dark areas, and trusting your instincts. If a situation doesn't feel right, it probably isn't.
-The only person responsible for sexual misconduct is the perpetrator. University policy prohibits sexual misconduct, including sexual assault, which means sexual activity without the knowing consent of each person. Someone incapacitated due to the use or influence of alcohol or drugs cannot consent to sexual activity.
-Call police immediately if you observe suspicious activity.
It's on all of us to stop sexual assault. If it is safe to do so, we have the responsibility to intervene in situations that seem unsafe for others. If you cannot intervene, call for help. The University encourages students to take appropriate action to protect others' safety by reducing students' fear of legal or disciplinary consequences to the victim or themselves.
This Crime Advisory is issued in compliance with the Timely Notice provisions of the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, a federal statute governing the reporting and disclosure of crimes on college campuses.

Doggie Bags & Breakfast for Dinner/
It's almost the end of the week!! Which means my trip is sosososoclose.
So I'm not sure about y'all but I love the occasional breakfast for dinner. Because sometimes after a long day, I don't feel much like cooking, and breakfast food has a sort of comfort to it. Last night, I hovered over the kitchen sink wolfing down a sweet potato for dinner. #pathetic. However my appetite was a little skimpy since I had just come from a yoga class where the girl next to me dislocated her shoulder (poor thing). I'm a tad squeamish so this was rather off-putting.
A few weeks ago, I had a near empty fridge, some delicious whole grain bread, an avocado and some eggs. And while I know this is such a simple combo, it was just what I needed. Perfect dinner, not too much, not too little. I toasted my bread, scrambled my eggs with Celtic Sea Salt and a dash of fresh cracked pepper and sliced an avocado. I had a little bit of leftover green salsa, and voila....dinner was served.
So if you're stumped on dinner, low on provisions or just not in the mood to put together a feast; look no further than some ole' fashioned eggs n' bacon.
Doggie bags. Or rather, dogs in bags.
I'm a firm believer that if you have a well behaved dog and you're a good dog parent, you should be allowed to take said dog with you to human establishments. Sushi (my dog pictured above) is a great companion. She never complains, always is happy to see you and knows her table manners. I honestly can't say I've ever heard her bark in public. So, she's a perfect candidate.
She's also recently become a huge fan of the "puppy latte" at Starbucks. I know. I've created a monster.
Have a great weekend y'all, stay cool, stay fun and come on back later on for more #nomz, recipes and adventures.

We used t tests to evaluate changes in the primary outcomes of pain and physical function (WOMAC) and health related quality of life (SF 36) and to compare differences in other continuous outcome measures at follow up. In each case we calculated the estimated difference between randomised groups, the 95% confidence interval of the difference, and the corresponding P value. pandora jewellery

Managed futures managers
For the managed futures community, September had two major market events. The first performance shock came with the announcement on 4 September by the National Association of Purchasing Managers that consumer confidence was high. This view was the opposite of that held by most of the market and set-off a 24-hour session of 'no recession' talk during which short-term interest rate contracts experienced a great deal of volatility. Commodity trading advisors (CTAs) caught up with this sustained

Diplomatic Immunity by Lois McMaster Bujold September 12, 2012Posted by stuffilikenet in Books.
Diplomatic Immunity is a reasonably fast-paced tale of Miles Verkosigan's second foray into service as the Emperor's Voice in the Barrarayan Empire, officially off on his honeymoon when diverted to a converted asteroid in order to solve the mystery of a murdered security officer, soothe an interstellar fracas caused by idiot military types (redundant?) and stop a war initiated by agents provocateur with a more subtle agenda. Miles is hindered by amazing and complex technology of his mostly unknown enemy and his/her/its inscrutable motives, aided by a long-time friend, accomplice and now employee/paid informant and most ably supported by his new wife.
The plot hums right along without rest, as does Miles, since everything keeps happening even when the hero should be on his honeymoon or at least have time for a catnap in the several days this adventure takes. It is kept from overwhelming by a nice sense of timing and a few of what look like breaks in the action but which are just bridges between actions, and by Miles' running dialogues with himself, which are pretty entertaining in their own right (I often have these kinds of carefully stifled thoughts myself. At least, I think I stifled them because I'm still married, still have my job, and still have all my teeth).
Another very creditable, entertaining book by Lois McMaster Bujold, who has written maybe a dozen and a half of these books.

Fun to Join and Fun to Hear
Please join us for our first rehearsal on September 11, 2019 at 6:30pm!
We will be meeting at the First Congregational Church at 68 Main Street in Falmouth.
About The GFCC
Remember how much fun it was to sing in your school, college or faith-based chorus? Bring the music back into your life and join the Greater Falmouth Community Chorus (GFCC). If you love music but can't sing, there are many other ways you can get involved. We'd love to have you!
We were founded in 1990 as the Greater Falmouth Mostly All-Male Men's Chorus (GFMAMMC). We are a non-audition community chorus welcoming all singers!
Our repertoire includes ballads, folk tunes, traditional & seasonal songs, and patriotic melodies singing in voice parts for Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Bass. True to our roots, we continue to include traditional American men's glee club harmonies (Tenor 1, Tenor 2, Baritone, & Bass) in our performances.
Our Fall season begins in September with concerts in early December. Our Spring season begins in March with concerts in early June. Rehearsals are held on Wednesday evenings at the First Congregational Church of Falmouth.
In addition, we perform at the Town of Falmouth ceremonies commemorating Veterans Day (November 11) and Memorial Day (last Monday in May).
We invite you to join us for our upcoming season, even if you have little or no experience singing in a chorus, or it has been a while; auditions are not required. For more information, please contact us.
John Dulina is the artistic director of GFCC.

CVEC to collect greenhouse gas credits
Chippewa Valley Ethanol Co. LLLP, a 47 MMgy ethanol plant in Benson, Minn., has entered into an agreement with Carbon Green LLC and Environmental Credit Corp., which will develop greenhouse gas credits stemming from CVEC's renewable energy use and ethanol production. In addition to ethanol, CVEC recently installed a biomass gasifier, which provides thermal energy for its facility and will save natural gas usage by 90 percent. Ethanol producer Corn Plus LLLP in Winnebago, Minn., began a similar project in March when it joined the Chicago Climate Exchange with the help of Carbon Green and Environmental Credit.

On October 6, 2017 the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation adopted various amendments and repeals to Ill. Admin. Code tit. 38, Pt. 1050. These include the following provisions, for which we provide documents:
Amended Provisions
- Admin. Code tit. 38, § 1050.810
- IL First Payment Letter Enhanced Fees (Cx7606)
- Admin. Code tit. 38, § 1050.820
- Notice of Servicing Transfer (Cx17905)
- Admin. Code tit. 38, § 1050.1010
- IL Loan Brokerage Agreement (Cx1909)
- Admin. Code tit. 38, § 1050.1110
- IL Borrower Information Document (Cx1206)
- IL Mortgage Escrow Account Act (Cx1207)
- IL Pledged Time Deposit Account Disclosure – Example (Cx14180)
- Admin. Code tit. 38, § 1050.1320
- IL GFE Charges Paid by Seller (Cx13000)
Repealed Provisions
- Admin. Code tit. 38, § 1050.1230
- IL Failure to Qualify Notice (Cx1603)
- IL Notice of Change Affecting Loan (Cx1605)
- Admin. Code tit. 38, § 1050.1305
- IL Loan Approval Notice (Cx14271)
Due to these changes, we will be modifying the following documents as follows:
- IL Borrower Information Document (Cx1206)
- Configuring language and references related to the "Good Faith Estimate" and "Settlement Cost Booklet" to only print when Field 82233 (Integrated Disclosure Loan Indicator) equals "No." When this field equals "Yes," the language referring and applicable to the "Loan Estimate" and "Your home loan toolkit" will print instead.
- Fixing the reference to the Illinois Mortgage Escrow Account Act from "205 Ill. Comp Stat. Ann. 910" to "765 Ill. Comp. Stat. Ann. 910".
- Making the phrase "A Truth-in-Lending statement will also be delivered to you shortly" more generic, by replacing it with "Other disclosures required under the Federal Truth in Lending Act may also be delivered to you shortly."
- Removing a reference to a "sample commitment letter," since borrowers no longer have a right to request this type of document.
- IL Loan Brokerage Agreement (Cx1909)
- Configuring the title "Good Faith Estimate" which appears in Section 4 to only print when Field 82233 (Integrated Disclosure Loan Indicator) equals "No." When this field equals "Yes," the title "Loan Estimate" will print instead.
- Removing the word "same" from the last sentence, since borrowers and brokers are no longer required to sign this document on the same date.
- IL First Payment Letter Enhanced Fees (Cx7606)
- Removing the third paragraph, as this language is no longer required to be disclosed.
We will also be retiring Cx1603, Cx1605, and Cx14271, as these documents are no longer required under Illinois law. Those clients who have custom configurations for these documents will continue to receive them.
We have reviewed the other documents which are required under the amended provisions (Cx1207, Cx13000, Cx14180, and Cx17905) and determined that no changes are necessary for them.
Special Note Concerning Cx13000: The requirements for this document have been amended to state the following:
"With respect to FHA-insured or VA-guaranteed residential mortgage loans, the licensee shall provide, at time of application, a written good faith estimate or TILA-RESPA Integrated Loan Estimate Disclosure of the amounts and nature of charges to be paid that are disallowed by the applicable Federal agency for payment by the buyer. A clear and conspicuous statement shall disclose that such charges are disallowed by the applicable Federal agency for payment by the borrower. Examples of such charges may include, but are not limited to, tax service fee, assignment fee, underwriter fee." (Ill. Admin. Code tit. 38, § 1050.1320[b]; amended at 41 Ill. Reg. 12405 [October 6, 2017])
It is not possible to list charges "disallowed by the applicable Federal agency for payment by the buyer" on the Loan Estimate without violating Regulation Z, since the only charges permitted to be disclosed are those "that the consumer will pay" (see various provisions under 12 CFR § 1026.37[f] & [g]) or which are "paid by or imposed on the consumer" (Ibid. § 1026.19[e][3][i]). It is also not possible to modify the Loan Estimate to include "a clear and conspicuous statement" disclosing that such charges are disallowed (see Ibid. § 1026.37[o]).
Since the regulation gives the option of disclosing such fees on a "good faith estimate" (note the common form of the noun, which permits any type of form to be used which includes good faith estimates, as opposed to the proper form "Good Faith Estimate") or on a Loan Estimate, we will continue to provide Cx13000 for this requirement.
These changes will take effect on November 1, 2017. If you have any questions or concerns about these changes, please contact Client Support at 1.800.497.3584.

With a 55km route crossing all of the country's peaks over 3,000ft and backed by a plant-based rationale, the V3k Ultra in Wales may just be the meanest, and leanest, mountain race in the UK.
"The Welsh 3,000s is one of the classic fell running routes. It has everything; amazing rugged mountains; technical ridges; long sweeping descents; fabulous views and a long heritage," says Kirsch Bowker, race director for the V3K. Originally created in 1919 as a mountain challenge, the route has rite-of-passage status amongst UK mountaineers and fell runners. That the race has now been chosen to spearhead Skyrunning's UK launch is no surprise at all. "I think the route is the crucial reason why the V3K Ultra is part of the inaugural Skyrunning UK series," says Bowker.
The V3K Ultra is also, Bowker believes, the first vegan ultra race in the world, and it all started with a vegan-buddy pledge between herself and two others. "Two vegan friends, Chloe Vincent, Andrew Spencer Taylor and I made a pact to complete the Welsh 3,000s each June," she says. "In 2012 I asked others to join us and it evolved into an ultra race. We kept the vegan element, asking runners to eat a plant-based diet for the race-day – it's part of our heritage." Those runners fearing a long, hungry, day on the Welsh mountains and rabbit food at the aid stations will be in for a pleasant and filling surprise, "There'll be vegan pizzas, vegan bacon butties, vegan cakes, vegan sausage rolls, Clif Bars, various flapjacks, sweeties, fruit, hot fresh coffee and an assortment of teas." she says before adding emphatically: "We pride ourselves on our aid-stations."
It was the view from Foel Fras, the last of the 15 peaks on the race's route, that actually made Bowker become a mountain runner herself. "To walk from Foel Fras to Carnedd Llewelyn and back across Drum to Rowen, a 26km route with 2,100m of ascent, takes a bit of time. I took up running so I could get there and back quicker, it's as simple as that." she says. "I live in a small Welsh town in Snowdonia, close to miles of trails through the Gwydyr Forest, near the Carneddau and Moelwyn mountains and just a short drive to the slopes of the other Snowdonia hills. I can't imagine a better place for running – so long as you don't mind rain."
Between Snowdon, the races first and highest peak, and the final peak of Foel Fras, runners will experience a variety of landscapes and challenges. Bowker's description of the course is interspersed with terms such as "knife-edged aretes", "scrambling", "never-ending uphill slogs", "volcanic boulders", "babbling streams" and "wonderful grassy slopes". In other words, competitors are in for one hell of treat. But be warned, advices Bowker, the race ends in the picturesque village of Rowan and not at the summit of Foel Fras. "Make sure you tell your body that you're heading for Rowen or it'll reach that final Foel Fras summit and expect to stop." she says. "I'm telling you, I've watched folk struggle with this very last section because they were just counting peaks and forgot the descent [into Rowan], it's amazing what that does to you psychologically!"
• The V3K Ultra race takes place on 28 June 2014. For those wanting a slightly easier challenge, the Vegan Carneddau is the perfect option. For those who are gluttons for punishment, the V3K Ultra Extreme starts in Rowan, takes in the V3K Ultra race course in reverse, then turns around at Snowdon and heads back to Rowan along the route again.
