[Blogger's Note: Due to my inadequacies, I cannot figure how to post excerpts of a poem with its intended spacing on the page and resulting line breaks. Such representational problems don't do justice to the poem, so I please ask you to clink on the link to see Eduardo Corral's great poem in its entirety as it was meant to be seen.]
Recently in my creative writing class, I shared this observation: young male undergraduates rely too much on glibness; the females privilege sentimentality. I have no doubt that a lot of the CW bloggers would find something pedagogically unsound in making such a public statement in the classroom. And they might be right.
But I always find it amusing how many poetry teachers/bloggers claim to teach sophisticated, experimental texts in the classroom. Our students understandably have a difficult time offering a close reading of an Accessible Narrative Poem. Anyone who thinks differently hasn't been in the classroom long enough, or hasn't put enough pressure on students to find out how they really do go about analyzing a poem. Reading comprehension is what needs to be taught in our undergraduate classrooms. Like it or not. Only then can they interpret.
Even the most talented undergraduate struggles with identifying abstractions, interpreting connotations of a group of similarly charged words, teasing out ambiguity. And perhaps the most difficult thing to learn: active versus passive voice. Try it some time. It's a doozy.
Yes: I teach Show, Don't Tell. And that often, understandably, takes weeks for them to grasp.
Images make students jittery—they have to pause and linger. The males want to avoid that all together, and often their work is a summary of telegraphed punchlines.
I will hide Eduardo Corral's poem "Caballero" from them. It's a complete success in what exactly I fear my male students will do: list a series of telegraphed punchlines. This is the most surprising aspect of Corral's poem: it's a series of defiantly glib statements that accumulate in a genuinely romantic way. By the end, you find yourself thinking: Here is one of the most deservedly sentimental poems.
Corral's poem taught me an important lesson: excessive glibness and genuine romance do not need to be mutually exclusive.
Corral's poem is no more than a series of one-liners. And here, that's all it should be. Not too many poets would dare to announce the punchline before it presents itself, setting us up with brazen line breaks and smart typographical arrangement.:
...Once a year
he eats a spoonful of dirt
from his father's grave.
In his sleep
he mutters lines
from his favorite flick,
Contra Los Vampiros.
So many gay poems strive to be gritty in a false way: depictions of dull, anonymous sex, offering a blow job at a public park. Here's the ultimately grittiness eating "a spoonful of dirt" undercut through the pathos of the next line ("from his father's grave"). That pathos, too, though is deflated once we realize that he's made a smart joke.
Or look at this:
When a word stalls
on his tongue he utters,
Sufferin succotash.
Stout. Apache-
dark. Curious
and quick.
He builds up the bridge
of his nose with clay.
Who cannot resist a somewhat somber poem that unexpectedly includes the phrase "Sufferin succotash."?
It takes a fun poet to also mine the potential laugh in a mere two-word fragment. Here we have the simultaneous use of "Apache" as a noun and adjective. That's one of the wonders of poetry: how a line break can create more. In the best poems, there's an abundance. Even in ones as compact and smartly overdetermined as this. This line break strategy invariably heightens the glibness:
lost in the desert,
he ate beak-
punctured pitayas;
pissed on his fingers to keep them warm.
Yes: the joke is telegraphed once again. But anticipation still results: the word beak standing in for the chicken as a whole, a meal, as well as it describing the injury to the cactus.
Is love ultimately as telegraphed as a joke? With the poem's closure, ("When I ride him at night I call out/ the name of his first horse."), I don't know if the sentence is the quintessential declaration of love or a glib final punchline. With multiple readings, I don't know if there is any differentiation between the two. Or that there should be.

These are finds from the previous weekend. Big weekend coming up for yard sales this week too.
Crazy kitsch shoes
Ponytail or neckties
These are actually mittens not boxing gloves. I still love them either way.
And I always wear my big shades when I box. I hit better that way.

2014 Consumer Electronics Holiday Sales – the Macro Picture
#1 – Overall consumer spending has increased, even with wage stagflation. This is due to the combination of increased disposable income with the rapid decline in gas prices (an extra $10 to $20 per week makes a big difference) coupled with greater consumer confidence (even without wage increases, the feeling that the economy has at least stabilized coupled with the cut in gas costs) has led to greater spending. The other macro factor that has often been overlooked is the multi-year lows in interest rates, allowing many homeowners to refinance their mortgages and cut down their monthly expense. So without any wage increases, consumers have more money in their pockets!
#2 – The Holiday season seems to have started slowly … except for Consumer Electronics. Overall holiday spending looks to be up 2 to 4%, while CE spending looks like it will end out up 7 to 10%. Two key factors for this are the explosion in TV sales this season, dominated by large screen sets (55 inch and above) and Ultra High Def sets, and the fact that so many CE categories are positioned for a great season (sound bars and home theater audio, portable audio and headphones, tablets and smartphones, health and wellness CE products, action cameras, notebooks and video game systems). That there are some many hot CE categories has meant that CE stores traffic has been solid for the year – not spectacular, as overall retail traffic continues to lessen as consumers increase their share of online shopping.
#3 – This is clearly the year that we have seen a tipping point in how consumers shop, with their first search being online (as opposed to checking out stuff in stores), online shopping taking greater share and omni-channel becoming more important. This is a long term trend, one that we see moving at a more rapid speed over the next few years. This growth has not been shared by all accounts online – it is focused on the very large players (for CE online, think amazon.com, walmart.com, newegg.com and bestbuy.com). The numbers for the last ten days online are incredible, with both page views and actual revenue up in the high double digits.
#4 – The positives in the CE industry are not shared by all players or all categories. Sears/Kmart continue to see double digit declines in overall CE revenue, as do the office superstores. The camera and camcorder categories are in a repaid decline, with no hope of a recovery. Smartphones continue to take a bigger share of the overall CE business – meaning other categories are hurting. And Apple continues to increase its share of the overall CE business; alone it is responsible for roughly half of the growth in CE. And the growth in Apple and smartphones are negatives in terms of margin, as both are low margin players – and the overall CE industry looks to be down between 100 and 200 basis points this year.
#5 – One additional positive note regarding the economy is job growth over the last three months, with a gain of 840,000 jobs in the US during that time. This has a double impact: those who have jobs now have spending money (impacting about 1.2 to 1.6 million people, based on families) and increased overall consumer confidence, as people see their family members and friends getting jobs and feel better about the overall economy. This is why we believe that the spending for apparel, sporting goods, housewares and toys will pick up as the season goes on, just not to the extent of CE products.

2017 is almost knocking on our doors, and for the investors, right now could not be a more perfect time to plan out where to throw money this year. In the recent times, the startup culture has turned out to be a big mover in the entrepreneurial space. New startup ecosystems are budding all over the globe and revolutionizing innovation across sectors such as health, agriculture, education, travel, e-commerce, technology and much more. Below is a list of the hottest new companies and startups that are expected to take the industry by storm in 2017 and where you should be investing your money to make the biggest ROI on these high-profit making opportunities. Keep in mind, however, that this is by no means any sort of financial or legal advice, just our opinion on which businesses are expected to do well. As always, you should make decisions for yourself based on your current financial situation and the market research you have completed.
- Viptela: manage your networks in an enhanced way
Viptela, with funding of a whopping $108.5 million, is a cloud software that assists businesses in efficiently connecting their remote offices via telecom providers.
Why invest in this company: In 2017, this startup is expected to see a major acceleration as it cuts telecom costs by 50% for their clients. It's not a question of why but a question of how fast will Viptela's software-defined WAN replace the currently functional complex MPLS networks.
- Classy: a high-end fundraising platform for non-profit organizations
Trusted by more than 3000 top notch social enterprises and non-profit organizations such as Oxfam and Teach for America, the San Diego-based startup Classy is doing amazingly well as a fundraising platform for societal welfare organizations.
Why invest in this company: It has already garnered $48 million in funding and with its software driven approach it is effectively keeping supporters engaged for a good cause. With this pace, it is expected to replace Blackbaud, the leader in this field, very soon.
- Periscope: transforms your database into a business analysis tool
Periscope extracts data from billing systems and databases, giving the user immediate power to analyze, run, and share the analysis in seconds. It helps businesses in understanding the factors that may influence their future growth and profits.
Why invest in this company: The Company has set up a benchmark in providing cutting-edge data assessment tools for the enterprises. It is rapidly emerging as the latest control center for biz-ops.
- Prospera: reinventing agriculture with the help of AI
The machine learning company Prospera, works to incorporate the power of AI into agriculture in the 21st century. It provides a mix of computer vision and data sciences and wants to convert agriculture into a data-based optimized procedure.
Why invest in this company: Agriculture being one of the largest industries in the world, can surely utilize the potential of AI to grow better, healthier and more economical foodstuffs. This reinvention in the way data is used in agriculture can enormously benefit both farmers and consumers alike.

Gladly, caters to the needs of the new-generation customers with its modern customer-service software built especially for today's social media and messaging apps.
Why invest in this company: Consumers love it when their favorite brands recognize them and are able to communicate with them over different channels. In this regard, while most customer service products on the market have become outdated, Gladly stands alone as a global platform built with the same technology stacks used by tech giants such as Facebook and Google.
- Security Scorecard: bolstering security of your organization
With an acquired funding of $34.7 million, Security Scorecard provides thorough security assessments for organizations. It assists in examining and identifying potential risks to the enterprise's IT systems even if they are coming from its own partners.
Why invest in this company: It is a true fact that companies spend a lot of money in securing their assets but fail to check into their vendor and partners for any wrongdoings. Security Scorecard is a one of its kind company that helps solve this problem by protecting against any third party breach and safeguarding the client company's systems.
- Mist: a fresh approach to the WLAN
Mist works on a combination of analytics, SDN, location- based services and a cloud-controlled WiFi. It provides app suggestions based on the customer's current venue and also enables wireless access for retails, hotels and a number of other places.
Why invest in this company: Ever since the launch of iPhone and the introduction of Cloud services, Mist is the first company to build a wireless based enterprise from scratch. The founders possess great experience as they previously handled Cisco's multi-billion dollar wireless unit and have already amassed $42.4 million in funding.

Design a Logo for Boutique Environmental Consultancy
- Status: Closed
- Præmier: $150
- Modtagne indlæg: 112
- Vinder: fatamorgana
Konkurrence Instruktioner
**IMPORTANT NOTE** Thank you all for the designs you have submitted so far, they are coming along great...I do have some feedback from within the company that we'd also like to see our existing logo be re-created exactly as you find it (same font, colours, and background image) so that we could potentially get our existing logo in high resolution quality and continue to use it within our communications and website. Thank you for all your time and effort to this date :)
Adaptation Environmental Support is a boutique consultancy that works with business, government and industry groups to develop and implement environmental strategies and initiatives. We need to have our current buisness logo tweaked and adapted so it is ready for use on our website, and in future, be incorporated into other modes of communication i.e. letterheads, business cards etc.
Our current logo can be found in the attached files, and our website (which is pending construction upon completion of the graphic) is: [login to view URL]
Essentially we want to stay within the same style guide in terms of font, and colours already chosen but we are open to interpretation. The image in the background is the part of the design that needs tweaking (it is currently a butterfly - the 'a' for adaptation is incorporated into the swirl) and we would also like to explore the option of the text being entirely in lower case.
In summary, the font needs to stay the same (except for the possible use of all lower case letters) - we believe the font is called Yanone Kaffeesatz, and the colour of the fonts also needs to remain the same. The part that requires some inspiration and change is the graphic behind the text.
We require the logo design to be supplied in PDF, JPG and High resolution as well as any other formats that may be required to incorporate it into our website design.
Anbefalede Evner
"Was and still is more than happy to fix any problems or changes we may have with our logo design which was re-created very professionally. Did everything that was asked and more. Will definately be getting them on board again to help with future projects and media development. Thanks again !! "

Before I post a recipe, I'd like to share a couple of sites that I follow.
I wanted to share with you my readers both these posts. It's in Portuguese so if you want to know what's been said than just go to google translator & it'll translate the post for you.
Basically the post is about a few bloggers who take a trip to the Algarve, take in some workshops, went market shopping checking out local produce.
They also went to some local restaurants.
We have some nice Portuguese restaurants in Sydney, but there a bit stuck in the 70's with not many fully trained chefs at the helm of many of these kitchens, don't get me wrong there great in a sort of home style sort of way, but their not the fine dining experience you get with many Italian, Japanese restaurant.
The posts show the best of Portuguese cuisine & a testament that food has evolved to a higher level in Portugal.
So great to see.
It's also the area my family is from, so I'm happy to show everyone the great produce this area has.
Here are both links enjoy.

If insurance were to be invented today, as though it never existed before, what might it look like? Here is the viewpoint of a crazy lady on a bench.
Is independent distribution suffering from the impacts of a shrinking and aging producer base and commoditization? Here is a dialogue that may be either ridiculous or somewhat familiar. You decide.
Does your organization fail to capture innovation white space opportunities because they are playing the "blame game"? We call that "dark space." Can you relate?

Al Gore, Agenda 21 And Population Control
Imagine going to sleep one night and waking up many years later in a totally different world. In this futuristic world, literally everything you do is tightly monitored and controlled by control freak bureaucrats in the name of "sustainable development" and with the goal of promoting "the green agenda". An international ruling body has centralized global control over all human activity. What you eat, what you drink, where you live, how warm or cold your home can be and how much fuel you can use is determined by them. Anyone that dissents or that tries to rebel against the system is sent off for "re-education". The human population is 90 percent lower than it is today in this futuristic society, and all remaining humans have been herded into tightly constricted cities which are run much like prisons. Does all of that sound good to you? Well, this is what Agenda 21 is all about.
Yes, I know all this sounds like a plot from a science fiction novel. But it is actually real. 178 nations have signed on to Agenda 21. "Eco-prophets" such as Al Gore travel all over the world teaching us how wonderful "sustainable development" will be. This agenda is being pushed in our schools, at our universities, on our televisions and in our movies.
So exactly what is Agenda 21? The following is how the United Nations defines Agenda 21….
Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment.
When you start doing deep research into Agenda 21, you will find that describing it as a "comprehensive plan" is an understatement. Virtually all forms of human activity impact the environment. The rabid "environmentalists" behind the green agenda intend to take all human activity and put it into a box called "sustainable development".
One of the key elements of "sustainable development" is population control. The United Nations (along with radical "environmental" leaders such as Al Gore) actually believes that there are far too many people on earth.
So what is the solution?
Sadly, they actually believe that we need to start reducing the population.
Just this week, Al Gore made the following statement regarding population control….
"One of the things we could do about it is to change the technologies, to put out less of this pollution, to stabilize the population, and one of the principle ways of doing that is to empower and educate girls and women. You have to have ubiquitous availability of fertility management so women can choose how many children have, the spacing of the children.
You have to lift child survival rates so that parents feel comfortable having small families and most important — you have to educate girls and empower women. And that's the most powerful leveraging factor, and when that happens, then the population begins to stabilize and societies begin to make better choices and more balanced choices."
Do you notice how whenever global leaders talk about "empowering" women these days it always ends up with them having less children?
This population control agenda is also reflected in official UN documents.
The following is language from a UN resolution that was adopted by the UN General Assembly that was designed to further the implementation of Agenda 21….
"….population growth rates have been declining globally, largely as a result of expanded basic education and health care. That trend is projected to lead to a stable world population in the middle of the twenty-first century… The current decline in population growth rates must be further promoted through national and international policies that promote economic development, social development, environmental protection, and poverty eradication, particularly the further expansion of basic education, with full and equal access for girls and women, and health care, including reproductive health care, including both family planning and sexual health, consistent with the report of the International Conference on Population and Development."
Most Americans don't grasp it yet, but the truth is that the global elite are absolutely obsessed with population control. In fact, there is a growing consensus among the global elite that they need to get rid of 80 to 90 percent of us.
The number one commandment of the infamous Georgia Guidestones is this: "Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature."
Unfortunately, a very high percentage of our global leaders actually believe in this stuff.
Sadly, this philosophy is now regularly being reflected in official UN documents. For example, the March 2009 U.N. Population Division policy brief begins with the following shocking statement….
What would it take to accelerate fertility decline in the least developed countries?
Apparently the poorest nations are the primary target for the population control freaks over at the UN.
This agenda showed up again when the United Nations Population Fund released its annual State of the World Population Report for 2009 entitled "Facing a Changing World: Women, Population and Climate".
The following are three quotes that were pulled right out of that document….
1) "Each birth results not only in the emissions attributable to that person in his or her lifetime, but also the emissions of all his or her descendants. Hence, the emissions savings from intended or planned births multiply with time."
2) "No human is genuinely "carbon neutral," especially when all greenhouse gases are figured into the equation. Therefore, everyone is part of the problem, so everyone must be part of the solution in some way."
3) "Strong family planning programmes are in the interests of all countries for greenhouse-gas concerns as well as for broader welfare concerns."
If no human is "carbon neutral", then what is the solution?
To those that are obsessed with Agenda 21 and "sustainable development", the fact that you and I are alive and breathing air is a huge problem.
The population control agenda is also regularly showing up in our newspapers now.
In a recent editorial for the New York Times entitled "The Earth Is Full", Thomas L. Friedman made the following statement….
You really do have to wonder whether a few years from now we'll look back at the first decade of the 21st century — when food prices spiked, energy prices soared, world population surged, tornados plowed through cities, floods and droughts set records, populations were displaced and governments were threatened by the confluence of it all — and ask ourselves: What were we thinking? How did we not panic when the evidence was so obvious that we'd crossed some growth/climate/natural resource/population redlines all at once?
But Friedman is quite moderate compared to many of the "eco-prophets" that are running around out there today.
For example, James Lovelock, the creator of the Gaia hypothesis, stated in an interview with the Guardian earlier this year that "democracy must be put on hold" if the fight against global warming is going to be successful and that only "a few people with authority" should be permitted to rule the planet until the crisis is solved.
A Finnish environmentalist named Pentti Linkola has gone even farther than that. Linkola is openly calling for climate change deniers to be "re-educated", for an eco-fascist world government to be established, for humans to be forcibly sterilized and for the majority of humans to be killed.
That doesn't sound pleasant, now does it?
This agenda is even being taught by professors at our top universities.
The truth is that academia is brimming with nutjobs who want to see the vast majority of humans wiped out.
For example, Professor of Biology at the University of Texas at Austin Eric R. Pianka is a very prominent advocate of radical human population control.
In an article entitled "What nobody wants to hear, but everyone needs to know", Pianka made the following shocking statements….
*First, and foremost, we must get out of denial and recognize that Earth simply cannot support many billions of people.
*This planet might be able to support perhaps as many as half a billion people who could live a sustainable life in relative comfort. Human populations must be greatly diminished, and as quickly as possible to limit further environmental damage.
*I do not bear any ill will toward humanity. However, I am convinced that the world WOULD clearly be much better off without so many of us.
Now keep in mind that this is a university professor that is teaching our kids. People actually pay a lot of money to get educated by this guy.
If those pushing Agenda 21, "sustainable development" and population control get their way, the world is going to be a much different place in the future.
Just watch the video posted below. It was originally produced by the Forum for the Future, a major NGO funded by big corporations such as Time Warner and Royal Dutch Shell. In this video, the Forum for the Future presents their chilling version of the future. Are you ready to live in a "Planned-opolis"? Are you ready to use a "calorie card" and to have what you eat determined by a "global food council"? This is the kind of tyrannical future that these radical environmental organizations want to impose on you and I….
Yes, the video is almost comical, but this is the kind of world that the global elite want to push us towards.
In fact, we see radical steps being taken all over the globe even now.
In Europe, the European Commission has unveiled a plan to ban all cars from major European cities by the year 2050.
In Europe, the mantra "carbon dioxide is causing global warming" has become gospel. This banning of cars from city centers is all part of a draconian master plan to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in Europe by 60 percent over the next 40 years.
Hopefully this plan will never come to fruition, but the fact that the European Commission is seriously pushing it just shows how far things have progressed.
But we don't have to peer into the future to see how this agenda is going to affect us.
Today, the U.S. government and governments all over the industrialized world have become so obsessed with reducing carbon emissions that now they even tell us what kinds of light bulbs we are allowed to buy.
There are millions of Americans that love the old light bulbs. But soon we will not have the choice to buy them anymore.
What kind of freedom is that?
In some areas of the United States, government snoopers actually sort through the trash of residents to ensure that environmental rules are being followed. For example, in the city of Cleveland, Ohio authorities have announced plans to have "trash supervisors" go snooping through trash cans to ensure that people are actually recycling according to city guidelines.
How would you feel if government officials went snooping around in your trash cans?
The world is changing. The global elite have immense amounts of wealth and power and they are intent on imposing a radical environmental agenda on all the rest of us.
The reality is that many of the wealthiest and most prominent people in the world are absolutely obsessed with the green agenda and with population control. Just consider the following quotes….
David Rockefeller: "The negative impact of population growth on all of our planetary ecosystems is becoming appallingly evident."
CNN Founder Ted Turner: "A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal."
Dave Foreman, Earth First Co-Founder: "My three main goals would be to reduce human population to about 100 million worldwide, destroy the industrial infrastructure and see wilderness, with it's full complement of species, returning throughout the world."
Maurice Strong: "Isn't the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn't it our responsibility to bring that about?"
Michael Oppenheimer: "The only hope for the world is to make sure there is not another United States. We can't let other countries have the same number of cars, the amount of industrialization, we have in the US. We have to stop these Third World countries right where they are."
This radical agenda is even represented in the White House.
John P. Holdren, Barack Obama's top science advisor, co-authored a textbook entitled "Ecoscience" back in 1977 in which he actually advocated mass sterilization, compulsory abortion, a one world government and a global police force to enforce population control.
On page 837 of Ecoscience, a claim is made that compulsory abortion would be perfectly legal under the U.S. Constitution….
"Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society."
On pages 942 and 943, a call is made for the creation of a "planetary regime" that would control the global economy and enforce population control measures….
"Perhaps those agencies, combined with UNEP and the United Nations population agencies, might eventually be developed into a Planetary Regime—sort of an international superagency for population, resources, and environment. Such a comprehensive Planetary Regime could control the development, administration, conservation, and distribution of all natural resources, renewable or nonrenewable, at least insofar as international implications exist. Thus the Regime could have the power to control pollution not only in the atmosphere and oceans, but also in such freshwater bodies as rivers and lakes that cross international boundaries or that discharge into the oceans. The Regime might also be a logical central agency for regulating all international trade, perhaps including assistance from DCs to LDCs, and including all food on the international market."
"The Planetary Regime might be given responsibility for determining the optimum population for the world and for each region and for arbitrating various countries' shares within their regional limits. Control of population size might remain the responsibility of each government, but the Regime would have some power to enforce the agreed limits."
On page 917, the surrender of U.S. national sovereignty to an international organization is advocated….
"If this could be accomplished, security might be provided by an armed international organization, a global analogue of a police force. Many people have recognized this as a goal, but the way to reach it remains obscure in a world where factionalism seems, if anything, to be increasing. The first step necessarily involves partial surrender of sovereignty to an international organization."
As mentioned earlier, Holdren is the number one science advisor to Barack Obama, and the truth is that the top levels of the U.S. government are packed with people that believe this stuff.
Yes, a lot of what you have read in this article sounds crazy. But the global elite really do believe in population control and they really are seeking to implement a radical environmental agenda across the entire planet.
They want total control of everyone and everything so that they can impose the measures that they believe are necessary to "fix" the planet.
I have actually written quite extensively in the past about the radical green agenda of the global elite. If you are interested in learning more, I would recommend the following articles….

They Want To Sterilize American Women: Sterilization Won't Cost Women A Penny Under Obamacare
Michael Snyder
The American Dream
July 13, 2012
Did you know that sterilization will not cost women a penny under Obamacare? A new regulation that goes into effect on August 1st requires that health plans cover sterilization for all women with "reproductive capacity".
That includes teenage girls. According to the new regulation, women must have access to sterilization "without having to pay a co-payment, co-insurance or a deductible." So women will not have to pay a single penny out of pocket if they want to get sterilized. Of course this sterilization mandate will make health insurance more expensive for all of us, but the social engineers in Washington D.C. feel that increasing access to sterilization is a very important public policy goal. So why are they doing this? They are doing this because they love death. They truly believe that they are saving the planet by reducing human numbers. That is why "family planning" is always at the very heart of the "green agenda". They want to sterilize women because that will help keep the population down. And if there are less people running around, there will be less of us to ruin "their planet" with all of our pollution.
The new Obamacare regulation requires health insurance policies to offer 100% coverage for all "approved contraceptive methods, sterilization procedures, and patient education and counseling for all women with reproductive capacity."
But to fully understand what is going on, you have to look at this in context with what is being implemented all over the globe.
Have you heard of Agenda 21? It is an international effort coordinated by the United Nations to make the world a more "sustainable" place in the 21st century.
To the social engineers at the forefront of this effort, the number one threat to "sustainable development" is overpopulation. That is why population control is one of the central pillars ofAgenda 21.
So all over the globe, family planning programs are being pushed and funded by the United Nations. In many UN-funded family planning facilities all over the planet sterilizations are being offered for free.
The United Nations seems absolutely obsessed with population issues. In particular, they seem quite determined to get women in poorer countries to have less children. For example,the March 2009 U.N. Population Division policy brief began with the following statement….
What would it take to accelerate fertility decline in the least developed countries?
A statement like that should be setting off all kinds of alarm bells in your head.
Questions like that are only a few steps away from all-out genocide.
But the social engineers at the United Nations are so obsessed with "saving the earth" that the fact that human lives are being destroyed in the process does not seem to bother them.
Many in the environmental movement believe that the number one problem facing the earth is climate change, and many of them also believe that carbon emissions being produced by human activity are the number one cause of climate change.
So that makes all of us the number one enemy of the planet.
This disturbing philosophy was clearly reflected in a 2009 report released by the United Nations Population Fund entitled "Facing a Changing World: Women, Population and Climate". The following are three quotes that were pulled directly out of that report….
1) "Each birth results not only in the emissions attributable to that person in his or her lifetime, but also the emissions of all his or her descendants. Hence, the emissions savings from intended or planned births multiply with time."
2) "No human is genuinely "carbon neutral," especially when all greenhouse gases are figured into the equation. Therefore, everyone is part of the problem, so everyone must be part of the solution in some way."
3) "Strong family planning programmes are in the interests of all countries for greenhouse-gas concerns as well as for broader welfare concerns."
So the goal is to reduce the human population by as much as possible in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
That is why those associated with this movement like abortion and absolutely LOVE sterilization.
When a woman has an abortion, she might get pregnant again.
But when a woman is sterilized, her "problem" is gone for good.
And guess what?
Your tax dollars go to pay for abortions and sterilizations all over the planet. The following is an excerpt from an article entitled "The Population Control Holocaust" by Robert Zubrin…..
Of the billions of taxpayer dollars that the U.S. government has expended on population control abroad, a portion has been directly spent by USAID on its own field activities, but the majority has been laundered through a variety of international agencies. As a result of this indirect funding scheme, all attempts to compel the population control empire to conform its activities to accepted medical, ethical, safety, or human rights norms have proven futile. Rather, in direct defiance of laws enacted by Congress to try to correct the situation, what has and continues to be perpetrated at public expense is an atrocity on a scale so vast and varied as to almost defy description. Nevertheless, it is worth attempting to convey to readers some sense of the evil that is being done with their money.
If you have not read the rest of that article yet, you really should. You can find the rest of that article right here.
Developing nations all over the planet are often coerced into participating in these population control schemes through financial aid programs. For example, a recent article by Jurriaan Maessen detailed how the World Bank is actually using "financial assistance" as leverage to get developing nations to implement "family planning programs" in their countries….
According to two subsequent documents put out by the World Bank, its guidelines dictate that in order to qualify for World Bank lending, sovereign nations must implement population reduction objectives as outlined by the World Bank and UN Population Fund. If they refuse, lending will be withdrawn.
Already pre-tested and implemented in Yemen and Niger, these guidelines are destined for global implementation within the next decade, says the World Bank.
In very poor countries, money can be a very powerful motivational tool.
In fact, in some nations money is actually being directly offered to women in an attempt to get them to agree to be sterilized. As I have written about previously, health officials in India are offering motorcycles, televisions and even new cars to women in an attempt to get them sterilized.
In other countries, darker methods of coercion are used.
In Uzbekistan, the government has decreed that "surgical contraception should be provided free of charge" to all Uzbek women who volunteer for the procedure.
That kind of sounds like what the new Obamacare regulation is going to do in the United States.
But what starts off as "voluntary" often becomes "mandatory" eventually.
The following is from an article in the Independent that detailed the horrible forced sterilizations that are going on in many parts of Uzbekistan….
Saodat Rakhimbayeva says she wishes she had died with her newborn baby. The 24-year-old housewife had a cesarean section in March and gave birth to Ibrohim, a premature boy who died three days later.
Then came a further devastating blow: She learned that the surgeon had removed part of her uterus during the operation, making her sterile. The doctor told her the hysterectomy was necessary to remove a potentially cancerous cyst, while she believes he sterilized her as part of a state campaign to reduce birthrates.
"He never asked for my approval, never ran any checks, just mutilated me as if I were a mute animal," the pale and fragile Rakhimbayeva said through tears while sitting at a fly-infested cafe in this central Uzbek city. "I should have just died with Ibrohim."
According to rights groups, victims and health officials, Rakhimbayeva is one of hundreds of Uzbek women who have been surgically sterilized without their knowledge or consent in a program designed to prevent overpopulation from fueling unrest.
Sadly, Uzbekistan is not an isolated example. The truth is that forced sterilizations (often funded by the UN) have been happening all over the globe. This was detailed in length in a great article by Jurriaan Maessen. If you have not read it yet, I encourage you to go check it out right here.
Of course one of the biggest offenders of all is China. The Chinese have been enforcing their brutal "one child policy" for many years.
In China, if a woman tries to have a second child she is in danger of being arrested and dragged off to a clinic for a forced abortion. Often a sterilization is done on top of the forced abortion.
As the Epoch Times recently noted, enforcement of this one child policy can be absolutely brutal….
"Pregnant women lacking birth permits are hunted down like criminals by population planning police in China and forcibly aborted."
One recent case of forced abortion in China made headlines all over the globe. The following is from a story that appeared in a New Zealand news source….
The family of a woman forced to undergo an abortion because she ran afoul of China's one-child policy has accepted a cash settlement, apparently ending a controversy that caused a public uproar and embarrassed the government.
Feng Jianmei's husband, Deng Jiyuan, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the family accepted the settlement of 70,600 yuan ($11,200) because they wanted to return to a normal life.
Feng was beaten by local officials and forced to abort her baby last month, seven months into her pregnancy, because she did not have 40,000 yuan ($6,300) to pay the fine for having a second child.
Local authorities have often violently imposed abortions and sterilizations in an effort to meet birth quotas set by Beijing, but photos of Feng lying on a hospital bed with the blood-covered baby, reportedly stillborn after a chemical injection, set off a public outpouring of sympathy and outrage after they were posted online.
Will we see scenes like this in the United States someday?
The new Obamacare regulation gets us another step closer.
The sad thing is that overpopulation is a myth. If resources were distributed more efficiently and there was not so much evil and corruption in the world, the earth could easily hold a lot more people than it does today.
Unfortunately, the social engineers that are running things do not see things that way.
In fact, this sick population control philosophy is represented at the very highest levels of the U.S. government.
For example, Barack Obama's top science adviser, John P. Holdren, actually co-authored a book in 1977 in which he advocated mass sterilization of American women. The following is just one of the incredibly shocking quotes in Holdren's book….
"A program of sterilizing women after their second or third child, despite the relatively greater difficulty of the operation than vasectomy, might be easier to implement than trying to sterilize men.
The development of a long-term sterilizing capsule that could be implanted under the skin and removed when pregnancy is desired opens additional possibilities for coercive fertility control. The capsule could be implanted at puberty and might be removable, with official permission, for a limited number of births."
Please keep in mind that Holdren is the number one "science adviser" to Barack Obama.
So what do these social engineers hope to achieve?
Well, the eventual goal is to reduce the population of the earth from 7 billion to about 500 million.
There seems to be a consensus among the "scientists" that write about these things that a global population of 500 million humans would be a "sustainable" level for the planet.
So how are they going to get rid of more than 90 percent of us and get the population down to just 500 million?
The Elite Believe That You Are Ruining Their Planet And They Want You To Stop Reproducing
Today, there are more than 7 billion people living on earth. For the global elite, that is problem number one. The vast majority of us don't spend much time thinking about global population issues, but for many among the elite it is an absolute obsession. Many of them truly believe that you are ruining their planet and they desperately want you to stop reproducing so much. Among the elite, the belief that the world is grossly overpopulated and that this is causing most of our major global problems crosses all political, cultural and social boundaries. This philosophy is taught as gospel at the vast majority of all colleges and universities on the planet, and it is being relentlessly pushed by the United Nations, the WHO, the World Bank and national governments all over the globe. When most people think of "overpopulation", they think of places such as India, but the truth is that those of us living in America are considered to be the worst offenders because our lifestyles are "polluting" the planet so rapidly. In fact, one scientist recently estimated that a child born in the United States has a "carbon legacy" 55 times greater than a child born in India. The elite are convinced that if they can reduce the global population far enough and get the remaining people living on earth to switch over to "sustainable lifestyles" that they will be able to save "their" planet. But the draconian measures that would be necessary to achieve this dystopian dream would not be very palatable to the vast majority of us. In fact, if the most radical population control advocates get their way, we will experience global tyranny on a scale never seen before.
Right now, most of us living in the western world are not prepared to accept "forced" population control measures and the global elite know this. But the truth is that they absolutely love what is going on right now in places such as China.
In China today, a one child policy is strictly enforced, and women are literally pulled from their homes and taken to abortion clinics when they are found to be in violation. The following example comes from a recent CNN article….
When Ji Yeqing awakened, she was already in the recovery room.
Chinese authorities had dragged her out of her home and down four flights of stairs, she said, restraining and beating her husband as he tried to come to her aid.
They whisked her into a clinic, held her down on a bed and forced her to undergo an abortion.
Her offense? Becoming pregnant with a second child, in violation of China's one-child policy.
So does the international community condemn China for such actions?
No, in fact the United Nations gives China awards for their population reduction policies.
In the western world, there are also great efforts underway to reduce family sizes and to get women to choose not to have children. But these efforts are always "voluntary". We are told that if women are "empowered" that they will always choose to have fewer children.
But many radical environmentalists are openly complaining that these voluntary methods are not getting the job done fast enough.
For example, the following is from a recent article by Julia Whitty for Mother Jones….
The only known solution to ecological overshoot is to decelerate our population growth faster than it's decelerating now and eventually reverse it—at the same time we slow and eventually reverse the rate at which we consume the planet's resources. Success in these twin endeavors will crack our most pressing global issues: climate change, food scarcity, water supplies, immigration, health care, biodiversity loss, even war. On one front, we've already made unprecedented strides, reducing global fertility from an average 4.92 children per woman in 1950 to 2.56 today—an accomplishment of trial and sometimes brutally coercive error, but also a result of one woman at a time making her individual choices. The speed of this childbearing revolution, swimming hard against biological programming, rates as perhaps our greatest collective feat to date.
But it's not enough. And it's still not fast enough. Faced with a world that can support either a lot of us consuming a lot less or far fewer of us consuming more, we're deadlocked: individuals, governments, the media, scientists, environmentalists, economists, human rights workers, liberals, conservatives, business and religious leaders.
For radicals such as Whitty, things are never moving fast enough. They truly believe that humanity is destroying the planet and that they are literally attempting to "save the world" by pushing for global population control.
But this kind of thinking is not just reflected in the writings of a few radicals.
The truth is that "scientific reports" advocating global population control are regularly featured in the most important newspapers all over the planet.
The following example comes from a recent article in the Guardian….
World population needs to be stabilised quickly and high consumption in rich countries rapidly reduced to avoid "a downward spiral of economic and environmental ills", warns a major report from the Royal Society.
Contraception must be offered to all women who want it and consumption cut to reduce inequality, says the study published on Thursday, which was chaired by Nobel prize-winning biologist Sir John Sulston.
The assessment of humanity's prospects in the next 100 years, which has taken 21 months to complete, argues strongly that to achieve long and healthy lives for all 9 billion people expected to be living in 2050, the twin issues of population and consumption must be pushed to the top of political and economic agendas.
When was the last time that you saw an article that was 100% opposed to global population control featured in an important newspaper?
Sadly, this population control agenda has a complete stranglehold on the scientific community. The philosophy that the earth is massively overpopulated and that this overpopulation is causing most of our biggest problems is considered to be gospel at most of our colleges and universities today.
If you question this orthodoxy, you risk being academically blackballed.
Not only that, but the scientific community considers the biggest offenders of all to be Americans because of our "excessive" lifestyles.
For example, just check out what statistician Paul Murtaugh of Oregon State University said a while back….
"Using United Nations projections of fertility, and projecting statistically through the lifespan of the mother's line—some lineages being short-lived, others indefinitely long—an American child born today adds an average 10,407 tons of carbon dioxide to the carbon legacy of her mother. That's almost six times more CO2 than the mother's own lifetime emissions. Furthermore, the ecological costs of that child and her children far outweigh even the combined energy-saving choices from all a mother's other good decisions, like buying a fuel-efficient car, recycling, using energy-saving appliances and lightbulbs. The carbon legacy of one American child and her offspring is 20 times greater than all those other sustainable maternal choices combined."
Murtaugh also believes that a child born in the United States has a "carbon legacy" that is 55 times greater than that of a child born in India.
This helps to explain why the elite are so obsessed with abortion and "family planning".
The elite are desperate to convince you to stop reproducing.
They truly believe that they are helping to "save the world" when they convince us to have less children.
In fact, the amount of money that is being spent to promote "family planning" around the globe is absolutely staggering.
For example, according to a recent MarketWatch article Bill and Melinda Gates plan to spend 4 billion dollars to get contraceptive devices into the hands of 120 million more women by the year 2020….
Melinda Gates recently announced a "new crusade" for her $32 billion Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. A recent Newsweek interview with Michelle Goldberg says it's a "decision that is likely to change lives all over the planet."
Gates has "decided to make family planning her signature issue," by investing "billions to revolutionize contraception worldwide," with substantial economic consequences.
The Gates decision will "be hugely significant for American women." She's "pouring money into the long-neglected field of contraceptive research, seeking entirely new methods of birth control," a "whole new class of drugs," some that could even work without hormones, and others, might be implantable devises that never need to be removed, can even be turned on and off by the woman.
While Bill and Melinda Gates portray their population control efforts as "humanitarian endeavors", others among the global elite are more open about what they consider the "endgame" to be.
The following examples are from a recent article by Paul Joseph Watson….
– Finnish environmentalist guru Pentti Linkola, publicly called for climate change deniers be "re-educated" in eco-gulags and that the vast majority of humans be killed with the rest enslaved and controlled by a green police state, with people forcibly sterilized, cars confiscated and travel restricted to members of the elite.
– Another Finnish environmentalist writer, Martin Kreiggeist, hails Linkola's call for eco-gulags and oppression as "a solution," calling for people to "take up the axes" in pursuit of killing off the third world. Kreiggeist wants fellow eco-fascists to "act on" Linkola's call for mass murder in order to solve overpopulation.
– In 2010, James Lovelock, the creator of the Gaia hypothesis, told the Guardian that "democracy must be put on hold" to combat global warming and that "a few people with authority" should be allowed to run the planet because people were too stupid to be allowed to steer their own destinies.
There are a surprising number of people out there that actually advocate for mass murder and mass enslavement for the good of the planet.
Dave Foreman, the co-founder of Earth First, once stated that reducing the global population to 100 million people is one of his three main goals….
"My three main goals would be to reduce human population to about 100 million worldwide, destroy the industrial infrastructure and see wilderness, with it's full complement of species, returning throughout the world."
Sadly, this philosophy has even infected the U.S. government. The truth is that billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars have been spent to promote population control around the globe, and it hasn't mattered much whether Republicans or Democrats were in the White House. The following is an excerpt from an article entitled "The Population Control Holocaust" by Robert Zubrin…..
Of the billions of taxpayer dollars that the U.S. government has expended on population control abroad, a portion has been directly spent by USAID on its own field activities, but the majority has been laundered through a variety of international agencies. As a result of this indirect funding scheme, all attempts to compel the population control empire to conform its activities to accepted medical, ethical, safety, or human rights norms have proven futile. Rather, in direct defiance of laws enacted by Congress to try to correct the situation, what has and continues to be perpetrated at public expense is an atrocity on a scale so vast and varied as to almost defy description. Nevertheless, it is worth attempting to convey to readers some sense of the evil that is being done with their money.
If you have not read the rest of that article yet, you really should. You can find the rest of that article right here.
At this point, nearly every major international organization is involved in these population control efforts to at least some degree.
For example, a recent article by Jurriaan Maessen detailed how the World Bank is actually using "financial assistance" as leverage to get developing nations to conform to the global population control agenda….
According to two subsequent documents put out by the World Bank, its guidelines dictate that in order to qualify for World Bank lending, sovereign nations must implement population reduction objectives as outlined by the World Bank and UN Population Fund. If they refuse, lending will be withdrawn.
Already pre-tested and implemented in Yemen and Niger, these guidelines are destined for global implementation within the next decade, says the World Bank.
Isn't that sick?
Later in that same article, Maessen discusses how the UN, the WHO, the World Bank and many other international organizations all work together to move this twisted agenda forward….
Returning to the essence, the intention and the strategy leave little for the imagination: a global consensus is in place between all the major transnational institutions and banks: the earth's population must be brought down, with all means necessary. The World Bank uses financial tools to bring nations on their knees, demanding they cull their numbers; the UN guarantees the political legitimizing for these depopulation policies (Agenda 21); the Foundations develop the anti-fertility vaccines and GM Food, the World Health Organization takes care of the "health-standards" and distribution. With the help of this global construct, carefully coordinated from the top-down, the scientific dictatorship has circled the wagons around all of free humanity.
Sadly, there is so much more that could be said about all of this. If you are interested in learning more about the disgusting population control agenda of the global elite, the following are 10 more articles I would recommend checking out….

This population control agenda is not going away any time soon.
In fact, thanks to endless propaganda in the media, it is winning over more hearts and minds with each passing day.
Just ask some of your friends what they think. If you are like most Americans, it is almost inevitable that you will have some friends that believe in global population control.
And without a doubt there will be readers that leave comments at the end of this article supporting the population control agenda of the global elite.
The idea that humanity is ruining the planet and that we need to dramatically reduce our numbers is being relentlessly pushed today. Millions upon millions of people all over the world have bought into this lie hook, line and sinker.
Ultimately, this philosophy will lead us down a path that will end in absolute global tyranny.

I had a go at listening to Father Z's – ahem – podcazt the other day and was surprised, but pleased to find him reading poetry! Here is one that I liked so much I thought I'd blog it:
Ferdinand von Wright - Sommerlandschaft
Wonderful stuff; reminds me of Chesterton thematically, but then, he covered a lot of ground did G.K. I miss reading poetry; press releases from Italian car manufacturers don't quite hit the same spot…Obscurely yet most surely called to praise, As sometimes summer calls us all, I said The hills are heavens full of branching ways Where star-nosed moles fly overhead the dead; I said the trees are mines in air, I said See how the sparrow burrows in the sky! And then I wondered why this mad instead Perverts our praise to uncreation, why Such savour's in this wrenching things awry. Does sense so stale that it must needs derange The world to know it? To a praiseful eye Should it not be enough of fresh and strange That trees grow green, and moles can course in clay, And sparrows sweep the ceiling of our day?

Yay,I found Peanut butter M&M'S in a little country sweet shop. They were so good, as a peanut butter addict (I eat out of the jar) these were the best. I did pay $4 for the pack but I really truly think it was worth it. Have your tried them? what did you think?

I'm not sure if I'd like these or not. They had them in Indonesia. Do you like the peanut flavoured crisps they do in France? I don't but maybe that's because I thought I'd bought cheese flavoured crisps and my mind associates them with disappointment?!

They sell them at an import shop near me, they are so expensive but fun to have occasionally!

I've had them before and I do like them! I rarely buy them, though, because I know I can't handle myself when they're around. Have you tried the pretzel ones before? I'm not IN LOVE with them, but they're still pretty addicting!

Yes I've tried them, and they're pretty good :) You should buy Reece's peanut butter cups, they're available in bulk and pretty cheap from Costco!

Nina O'Connor, an OCA Textiles student has recently completed the fifth and final part of Textiles 1: Mixed Media for Textiles. This course takes the student through a wide range of materials and techniques many of which are on the periphery of what is considered textiles. In the final part of the course students are given the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learnt and the individual creative style they are developing. I have chosen to show Nina's work here because she clearly demonstrates the process in which creative decisions are made and how this pays off in pleasing and engaging works.
At the beginning of Part 5: A Final Piece, as directed by the course material Nina reviews her work from the course so far in her Learning Log. She does this in a deliberate and detached way, looking at her work with a clear eye exploring its aesthetic merits, the characteristics of the materials and her relationship with the processes. All this is done using concise language and illustrated with images of her work. Nina finalises her review with an honest summary where she looks for common themes and stimulating techniques. She notes how important discernment is when reviewing your work and I couldn't agree more. This ability to stand with some distance from your work and decide what works well and what is worth pursuing is the foundation to creating engaging and meaningful work. It is therefore worth spending time examining your work, looking at it as though through the eyes of someone else to make sound judgements about its development. This process is not always easy; it takes practice and a certain amount of confidence.
Nina uses the results of her review to conduct fresh and focused research of contemporary creative practitioners. Examining the works and reading about the different approaches the practitioners take, extracting from this information what feels truthful and important in order to develop her own creative process. From here Nina explores her ideas though sample making. This is a free flowing exploration of the ideas she gathered during her review and analysis of the work of others. In her learning log she frequently refers to where her ideas come from for example she examined the work of Eva Isaksen to develop ideas around collage. This linking of previous work, research material with sample making has helped Nina to take risks and create an interesting aesthetically pleasing body of samples to work from later in this part of the course. Sample making is a crucial stage in any project; it is were you bring together your thinking with your approach to materials and techniques. It is best to keep an open mind to what is successful at this time, being aware that taking risks can result in fresh and innovative outcomes. Give yourself time to explore a range of sampling but also be conscious of where to draw the line. Certainly in my tutorial with Nina she was aware that not all ideas could be pursued at this time and she needed to decide when it was best to bring the initial sample making to a close. This comes with practice and the continuing review of your work so far as you feel your way through the project.
Nina brings this section of the course to close by reviewing her samples, making decisive judgements about the strongest designs that she develops further. Her final more resolved samples are inventive playful and crafted with care. They demonstrate a clear journey of development from her initial review though research, sample making and analysis to create articles of beauty.
I hope that in using Nina's work I have illustrated the importance of purposeful discernment, thoughtful research, exploratory sample making and considered judgements in creating solid degree level textile work.

"Awful maternity services, great neonatal unit"
About: Royal Preston Hospital Royal Preston Hospital Preston PR2 9HT
Posted via nhs.uk
What could be improved
Maternity staff have lost their sense of good old fashioned person to person contact and rapport . Perhaps down and dejected about the state of the nhs but even so, it costs nothing to be nice! Simple manners, courtesy and consideration of a mother who had a very ill child on the neonatal unit was not shown. Sent home from this hospital with pain and in slow labour. My baby was born 24hours later at just 26 weeks. Appalled with care and treament by some members of staff however,could not fault the fantastic neonatal unit.

One of the four deputies wounded in a shooting in suburban Denver was a 2007 Scottsbluff High graduate.
28 year old Deputy Michael Doyle is listed in stable condition at a Denver area hospital, along with the other deputies who were wounded. Doyle had reportedly transferred recently to the Douglas County Sheriff's office after a long stint with the Castle Rock Police Department.
Authorities say the deputies wounded in the barrage of gunfire were forced to give up on a slain colleague and crawl to safety.
Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock says three deputies and a police officer who were shot and injured in the Sunday morning shooting went down within seconds of each other.
He says they tried to pull 29-year-old Deputy Zackari Parrish, who had already been shot, out of the line of further gunfire but their own injuries hampered their efforts.
All five were investigating reports of a disturbance around 5:15 a.m. at the home, which had been the subject of a noise complaint four hours earlier.
Spurlock says the suspect was killed but did not identify him.
The other officers who survived this morning were: Deputy Sheriff Taylor Davis, 30, Deputy Jeffrey Pelle, 32, and 41-year-old Castle Rock Police Officer Tom O'Donnell. All are listed in stable condition, Spurlock said.

Ever since the July public health report revealed that La Cañada Flintridge has the longest life expectancy in the region, I've been worried.
I worry because a long life means more taxes.
I worry because more taxes will raise the price of Dodger tickets.
I worry because the Dodgers will always break your heart.
My longevity-enhanced mind races through the possible scenarios to rescue the city of Bell and the Dodgers. Perhaps a complaint-in-intervention in the McCourt divorce, by season ticket holders, to urge a quick sale to Mark Cuban or Eli Broad? Not likely. Complaints-in-intervention are disfavored in family law cases. It has something to do with standing.

General Question
What is the name of the bar/restaurant in the Virgin Islands that is on an old enormous sail boat, and is anchored in a bay somewhere?
Asked by Evan (805) June 28th, 2010
If it's any help, I'm pretty sure that it's anchored off one of the British Virgin Islands, not the U.S., but I can't be certain. The entire place is on an old boat, and they just have several floating docks where you can moor your boat while you eat and drink. The boat was definitely no longer mobile, so I'm sure it must be in the same spot. Thanks for any info!

Your kitchen may have all the things you need to make great meals, but it isn't truly complete without an excellent stand mixer. Hamilton Beach created the Eclectrics line of mixers for people who want it simple but powerful. This all-metal mixer has a sturdy 400-watt motor and 12 speed settings to help you create a wide variety of dishes and baked goods with ease and in no time at all.
If you're not exactly fond of cooking, the Hamilton Beach All-Metal Stand Mixer just might change your mind. This model (63221) comes in Sugar White—a classic color that will surely compliment any kitchen décor.
- All-metal construction, quick-release head for easy access to bowl
- 400-watt motor and 12 speed settings to help you make yummy creations in a snap
- Includes user manual, wire whisk, 2-piece pouring shield, flat beater, dough hook, and recipes
- Get the best results with its unique mixing head which orbits around the bowl as the beater rotates in the opposite direction
- The bowl locks to the base for a stable hands-free mixing
The Reviews
The Hamilton Beach Eclectrics All-Metal Stand Mixer (Model 63221) has earned a pretty impressive average rating of 4.3 out of 5 stars on Amazon. Out of 118 reviewers, 83 percent gave it highly positive reviews.
Customers who were happy with their purchase could not help comparing this model to KitchenAid mixers. KitchenAid mixers were admittedly the first choice for most of them, but a limited budget had to give way for a Hamilton Beach. Needless to say, they have no regrets and were delightfully surprised at the performance of the Eclectrics All-Metal Stand Mixer. It's just as powerful as comparably priced KitchenAid mixers and the 400-watt motor runs smoothly, even when mixing thicker doughs. Another big plus is Hamilton Beach's three-year warranty—very generous when compared to KitchenAid's one year.
While this model is great for making breads, it starts to have some difficulty when working with heavier doughs. Like any other machine, it will start to complain if you push it too hard. This model is also very basic in the sense that it doesn't really come with other attachments. Adventurous types will probably find this mixer a tad boring.
Customers who gave this product 3-star ratings and less had issues with its durability. Some received defective units while others had mixers that broke down in a matter of months. It also didn't help that they didn't get much assistance from Hamilton Beach's customer support.
Looking at the majority of positive reviews, it's safe to say that the Hamilton Beach Eclectrics All-Metal Stand Mixer is a sound investment. For a cheaper price, you can get a mixer that is just as well-built and as powerful as one of KitchenAid's top models. It's especially great for those who love to bake bread—just keep in mind that at 400 watts, it does have its limitations and it won't work as well with very heavy doughs.

Dietary Guidelines
For a day or two before and after a session, we suggest drinking lots of filtered or distilled water, herbal teas and fresh juices; along with eating organic and seasonal vegetables, fruits, whole grains, soups and lighter proteins. Eating this way will naturally create a healthier intestinal cleansing atmosphere as well as reduce the possibilities of both excess gas build-up and delay in resuming your proper elimination function.
Minimize your consumption of dairy, sugar, wheat and red meat as well. Please remember to chew thoroughly (up to 30 times before swallowing). Otherwise, during the releases we may see excess gas as well as undigested food being eliminated including carrots, lettuces, nuts, seeds, peppers, popcorn, tomato, and potato skins.
The following are some examples of healthy, cleansing foods to include in your diet:
Day of Session
On the actual day of your session, eating or drinking mostly vegetables and fruits will put your body into a deeper cleansing mode. Remember lots of purified (Alkaline preferably) water. However, for two hours before your appointment, try to avoid eating or drinking as much as possible so that you're not digesting or needed to empty your bladder during your session.
Afterwards, as soon as you desire, it is okay to eat and drink again, similar to how you came into the experience. Electrolyte-type drinks such as Emergen-C and Recharge are suggested along with probiotic supplement or food including acidophilus and bifdus, like goats yogurt or kefir. Also consider miso, sauerkraut, rejuvelac and chlorphyll-rich foods, such as wheatgrass, dark greens or algae. This is an excellent time to juice.
After session
It is not uncommon for 1-3 days to pass before your first bowl movement after session. Please be patient. Remember that the whole digestive tract is one long tube (7 times the length of your body is stretched out) so it may take some time for your colon to refill. What you eat and drink will determine how redefining of your colons shape and movement will occur. If you are particularly sensitive, avoid raw vegetables, red meat and alcohol. Please avoid overeating.
Untill you have a bowel movement, we suggest that you eliminate foods which you know to be allergic, constipating, gas- producing and bloating. Some of these may be:
