What is People Food Music?
People food music is the essence of Krishna McKenzie's 25 years' experience in The International Township of Auroville. Inspired by the Japanesse Zen master and farmer, Masanobu Fukuoka, he started Solitude Farm in Janurary 1996 and has demonstrated that simply by honouring organic matter, (leaves, weeds, branches) the soil has taken on a wonderful fertility, which can also be called Mother Nature, Gaia, Patchamama, Bhoomi Dev ( as she is known in India) and many other names. By honouring her gifts, that is to say Local Food, many projects have emerged from the farm, like the organic cafe, a basket service, seed bank, nursery, education, festivals and, most importantly, celebration as the golden key of Permaculture. Honouring each other's creativity, valuing community, recognising that music and arts are the adhesive that binds our communities together : this is People Food Music.
For our survival he urgently advocates that we RETRACE THE STEPS TO NATURAL CULTURE.
A society which doesn't know where its food comes from is a society without culture.
We must honour the diversity of nature and celebrate how nature provides our food and medicine.
Reconnecting with where our food comes from affects everything – nutrition, health, economy, ecology, community and culture. Our survival depends on finding the way back to nature and the divinity of the soil.
Simply allow nature to take its course. Leave nature alone and she will work in the way she knows best, resulting in better food, enhanced cultural identity, and improved ecology and economy. Our primary wealth is the land, community and culture.
Celebrate nature, where we reclaim our birthright and our right to life. We find our true selves in nature.
When we invest in retracing the steps to natural culture, we're investing in our own culture. Let's take steps NOW to improve our lives today, and as an investment in the future.
Krishna McKenzie's Solitude Farm is an example of HOW to do that, how to collect seeds, develop permaculture, prepare and enjoy organic food, educate, and celebrate. For the last 25 years British-born Krishna has been living his dream in India. Now, with his wife Deepa and their two children, he is sharing his passion and inspiration with audiences in Europe for the first time.
People Food Music 2018 European Tour
People Food Music 2018 is an invitation to explore food, ecology, community, celebration and culture. Our world is in crisis and most of our problems stem from the loss of our relationship with Mother Earth. One symptom is that we no longer know where our food comes from.
Krishna McKenzie shares his experiences from the last 25 years in Auroville, South India, establishing and running a permaculture farm, organic cafe, community music festivals, education projects and re-valuing local food and culture. He gives an engaging talk showing photos from Solitude Farm, and music from his repertoire with his successful band Emergence.
Krishna makes practical suggestions how we can immediately retrace the steps to natural culture, including:
- Setting up shared neighbourhood gardens to grow organic fruit and vegetables
- Foraging for local natural foods and medicines (Richard Mabey's Food for Free has been republished)
- Preparing dinner together once a week or month with friends and neighbours as a community
- Making jam together with friends and neighbours as a community
- Turning public spaces into gardens
- Foraging for nettles to make soup together
Krishna gives examples showing how we can create a network for collecting and distributing organic seeds, establishing local organic permaculture, and educating on the importance of reconnecting with and honouring nature.
We each have infinite power to create and live our dreams, but over the last decades society and education systems have moved further away from nature – the results are clear to us all. It's time for change. We can find our way back step by step – Let's do it now!
If the venue is suitable, Krishna and his wife Deepa can offer examples of their delicious vegan south Indian cuisine.
FOOD PEOPLE MUSIC – retracing the steps to natural culture – can offer:
- Krishna's inspirational talk about retracing the steps to natural culture, including a taste of his nature-celebrating music.
- Media interviews with Krishna about People Food Music – retracing the steps to natural culture.
- Examples of organic Indian vegan food celebrating nature.
- Performances of Krishna's music.
- Krishna's wife Deepa can demonstrate examples of south Indian culture, including Henna and Kolam.
- Workshops in vegan south Indian cuisine.
- Workshops in natural farming and permaculture.
- Krishna's services as a consultant to interested communities.
Sponsors, donations, bookings and media interviews and features are welcome.
Please contact Krishna's team with suggestions.

Krishna McKenzie Bio
Founder of Solitude Farm, Auroville, South India
Krishna McKenzie was born and educated in England. For the last 25 years he has been exploring and developing permaculture, natural farming, local food, community, music and education in the international township of Auroville, South India.
Solitude Farm is an authentic example of Masanobu Fukuoka's teachings, growing over 100 different edible plants, also consumed in the organic farm cafe, running an organic fruit and vegetable basket service, music festivals, events, social outreach works and diverse educational activities.
Krishna profoundly believes that the heart of the way back to nature simply involves returning all biomass to the fields, honouring all the gifts (edible and medicinal) that Mother Nature offers us, and bringing people together in celebration of our natural culture.

What if no version query string was applied to the asset's URL? Then there's no reason for us to run the conversion code. Right? That regex pattern is slow. So we don't want to run it unless it's needed. When does WordPress not append a version query string? Think about it. Go look up wp_enqueue_script. Look at the description for the version parameter.

luisito, 07 Jan 2010dear nuwan!!! i know you are busy working and answering losts of posts,,,,,i download hello ox... moreDear luisito,
Hei... My Mexican friend... It's ok dear, I will always find time to answer your questions...
And regarding this HelloOX2, you are supposed to 'Sign' the software (HelloOX2) before installing it in your mobile... Otherwise you'll get that "certificate" error...
It's some kind of a process and you'll need a signing tool downloaded in your PC as well. (Then you'll never have to worry about any certificate error anymore as you can certify applications by your own.) But in order to get Certificate files (a *.key file & *.cer file) which are unique to your mobile IMEI no you'll have to register in a particular website (Chinese one as I recall..) and get them.
I have the unsign software for Microsoft windows and all the instructions describing how to get above mentioned files from above website and then how to certify (or sign) the software for your mobile...
If you can post your email then I will send the attachment for you...
Regarding your second question... Yeah... unless you have the full version of quickoffice which you are supposed to buy, you'll not be able to edit office files...
But hei.. Did you go through all my posts...? Because I posted the links to the Full version (cracked) of quickoffice and Adobe reader in one of my posts... (a very recent one...) Please search and download... (But first of all you'll have to hack your mobile I think...)
salman from pakistan, 07 Jan 2010Dear all
kindly guide me on this problem.
i bought my 5530 3days ago.
i am haveing th... moreDear Salman,
I am not so sure what's the problem you're facing. But I suppose it's the same problem I faced during first most days of me with this mobile.
Actually when the screen is locked if a phone call comes, then the display shows it with some sort of an animation... First days I just click on this animation and it didn't work out. Then I tried press the normal answer button (the green one below) and that didn't work either... And I couldn't cut the phone call too... (Screen seemed to be completely not responding until I use the sliding unlock key at the right side of the phone..!)
I wondered this is very unusual and there should be a way to pick phone calls even when the screen is locked...
Then WOW...!
I was made to understand that, I have to follow the visual clues in the animations on the screen...!
So if you're facing the same above problem... Then you simply don't have any hardware/software trouble in your phone... You just simply have to "follow the visual clues on the screen..."
To answer a phone call, you should sweep your finger on Green visual animation to the direction it shows... (I think it's right hand side)
To unlock the screen (in order to reject the call, make the ringing silent etc..) you should sweep your finger on Red visual animation to the direction it shows... (It's left hand side...)
I think this should solve your hesitation...
If it's not the problem, then it should be a software/hardware trouble as you said, and in that case you should go to nearest Nokia care center (you've got warranty right...?) as we don't have proper answer for that sort of troubles.
Good luck friend...!

Nokia is going crazy by once again confirming the price of Nokia 5530 for Rs.14,029/- in India. They think people are idiots to buy this phone which is more than the present 5800 phone. Check the Financial Express News given below.
Kolkata: Nokia is betting big on the touch interface in 2010, starting the year with the launch of Nokia 5230 and 5530 XpressMusic. In 2010, there will be a great deal of activity in the touch portfolio of Nokia. The company is focused on taking the touch experience to the masses by launching new solutions at competitive price points, said Viral Oza, head-activation, media & online marketing, at the launch in the city on Wednesday.
By 2012, 40% of the mobile devices will incorporate touch interface, according to the company. Nokia 5230 is priced at Rs 9,389 and 5530 XpressMusic at Rs 14,029. Oza hinted at touch devices at a lower price range as well in the future, but declined to give details.

When: June 30-July 4 2010
Abigail is having a party, all right, but we're not at it. We're a few doors down, with Abigail's divorced mom, Susan, who's doing her valiant best to give her 15-year-old some space. Susan's been invited to hang out for the evening at Beverly and Laurence's place, as have a couple who just bought a home in another part of the suburban development somewhere in England. All five of them will drink too much and awful things will happen. This 1977 tragedy of manners by Mike Leigh--the auteur best known for films like Happy-Go-Lucky and Vera Drake--operates on the fool-around-and-fool-around-and-somebody-ends-up-in-tears principle: it makes dysfunction hugely amusing right up to the moment when the bottom falls out. Kirsten Fitzgerald is not to be missed as Beverly, the hostess with a strange talent for getting her guests to overcome their best instincts. --Tony Adler

I have attached the wheel wells to the inside of the lower hull, but had to do it in 2 steps. I glued the left ones in place, clamped up and reinforced with tape. A day later I did the right side. Its not that the fit is bad per se, but the parts need some persuasion to keep in their proper place.
It gives the model a very sturdy structure, which translates again into issues when joining the lower and upper halves. I would have needed a bench vice to get the parts to sit flush, but had to make do with what I could find.
The result is as good as it's gonna get. Some obvious gaping seams were filled with putty and are now left to dry.

Madison Keys beats Petra Kvitova in Olympic rematch at China Open
In an Olympic effort Madison Keys overpowered Petra Kvitova in the China Open quarter-finals Friday in their first meet since the Czech denied the American a bronze medal in Rio.tennis Updated: Oct 07, 2016 17:55 IST
In an Olympic effort Madison Keys overpowered Petra Kvitova in the China Open quarter-finals Friday in their first meet since the Czech denied the American a bronze medal in Rio.
It took two hours and 40 minutes, three sets and two tie breaks for Keys to exact revenge over the double Wimbledon champion, 6-3, 6-7 (2/7), 7-6 (7/5).
A double fault by Kvitova turned the first set in favour of Keys, but she pulled back in the second pushing it to a tie break, which she won.
There was little between the pair in the final set, but Kvitova's 32 unforced errors to Keys' 25 ultimately cost the Czech a semi-final place -- and ended her eight match winning streak.
"She made it really tough today. I'm just really happy that at the end I was able to get my serve back on track and get myself ahead in the tiebreaker," Keys told reporters after the match.
Kvitova has had a year of up and downs since she split with her coach of seven years David Kotyza after the Australian Open in January.
She ended last year runner-up in the WTA Finals in Singapore but this season she has failed to get past the round of 16 at any of the Grand Slams, and her ranking fell to 16 -- its lowest since 2011.
Keys, 21, made her top 10 debut this year after winning her second career title in Birmingham in June.
The big hitting youngster -- who is often cast as a successor to 22-Grand Slam champion Serena Williams -- is also chasing her first qualification for the elite WTA Finals in Singapore, which features the season's top eight players.
With her quarter final win she moves into seventh in the Race to Singapore leaderboard, but Briton Johanna Konta is hot on her heels and she needs to win the title in Beijing to clinch her spot.
Konta plays home favourite Zhang Shuai for a semi-final place later Friday.
On the men's side, Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta beat Richard Gasquet in a rain-delayed second round match, 5-7, 6-4, 6-1, to set up a quarter final clash with Wimbledon finalist Milos Raonic later Friday.
Canadian Raonic also played his second round match Friday morning, beating Malek Jaziri of Tunisia 6-3, 6-4.

This item along with other pieces you'll find here are no longer being created. This is both sad and exciting. As some pieces come out of production to make way for new pieces and new styles. All these pieces are made with such precious care and quality that they become collectable heirlooms and mush sought after.

with loose pieces of marble all along the way. It winded up a hill in varying 30 - 45 degree angles before we reached what seemed like a circular meeting of karst boulders jotting out along the side of the mountain. I was soaking from perspiration as we all sat by the lip of this monster of a hole.
"So Delfin, have you ever gone down this hole" I asked the kid. " Nope, and I'm not Delfin. My name is Daniel" he curtly replied. I was bad with names so I apologized and he seemed to switch back to his cheery nature right away. "My grandfather told me they used to haul guano here during the 70's using a box elevator with a pulley and a rope. Then in 1980, two Americans (locals around the village tend to consider all white men as Americans) went down and one couldn't climb back so the villagers had to rescue him, Daniel added.
"So Delfin, why did they call this hole The Python Cave?" I casually asked. He stared at me with unbelieving eyes but ignored my mistake. "Someone caught a Python that had a body as big as a tree trunk years ago and they say there are more Pythons down there. They also caught a white monitor lizard."
"Wow, that's rare" Basil replied. "So Delfin, what happened to the Python and the white lizard?" "The drunkards ate them! And my name is Daniel, not Delfin!" he snorted. " Well, you're going to be a Delfin before the day is over!" I said. We all chuckled including Delfin! Vie was delirious with laughter. She was hot and ready to get down and dirty into the cave, but we had to seriously assess the rigging first. After scrutinizing the formations along the entrance, we headed back to camp, took a refreshing bath by the spring, and sat around our camp discussing various ways of rigging over supper. Like three Elves of the wooded realm, we laughed and shared tales of magic mushrooms, of hippies, and of song, and of the paradise days of Puerto Galera. Afterwards we lay in our tents in silence amidst the trickling song of the brook and the gentle percussions of rain like a lullaby for a much needed sleep.

Getting around in your historical novel; horses, boats, and really bad roads
Unless your historical novels takes place in one location—which would be pretty boring—your characters will need to go somewhere. And until the mid-nineteenth century, it was really hard to get there. Here are some facts to remember when moving your characters from one place to another in a past era:
- The Romans paved their major roads, but for the most part, until fairly recently roads were just dirt peppered with potholes. And until the sixteenth century, carriages were just wooden boxes on wheels, which means you would bang your head on the wall and get thrown from your seat going over all those potholes. Which is why most people just rode horses—getting soaked in the rain, frozen numb in the cold, and cooked in the blazing sun, but at least their bones weren't jarred and jolted to dust.
- Going back thousands of years, wealthy women, children, the sick and the aged lay down on pillows in litters—long boxlike structures swinging between wheels and pulled by horses for long journeys, and carried by four men lifting horizontal poles for short ones.
- Even the largest European cities—such as London, Paris, and Rome—were built for foot traffic, horses, and litters, which meant the roads were narrow and twisting. By the early 1500s, Hungarians invented a rudimentary spring suspension system for carriages, which made them far more comfortable. Suddenly the roads were totally jammed with enormous vehicles. Some municipalities demolished entire city blocks to make wider roads for carriages.
- Sitting in a springed carriage with gorgeous upholstery and plump pillows was a lot more comfortable than riding a horse in the rain and heat and snow. But it was freezing in winter (you might put your feet on a metal box with hot coals inside or hold a hot brick wrapped in flannel—until they cooled down and you froze again.) And it was stuffy in summer.
- Which brings us to the problem of where you were going to spend the night. First choice was staying with friends or relatives along the way. Reservations at inns were problematic. You might send a messenger ahead with a request for a room, but you could never be sure when you would arrive at the inn due to weather, bad roads, broken axles, lame horses, or sick passengers. So a reservation was pretty useless. Sometimes you would arrive exhausted, and there was no room at the inn.
- At most inns you would share a bed with utter strangers of the same gender. The sheets were often dirty and crawling with insects. The wealthier sort brought their own sheets—sometimes even their own beds—when traveling. And then there were highwaymen. Most carriages had secret compartments to hide jewelry and gold, and the coachmen were usually armed.
- Sea voyages were equally uncomfortable, with the added disadvantage of seasickness and possible drowning. In ancient times, there were no passenger ships. Individuals would pay for a spot on the deck of a merchant vessel and sleep under their tent, eating their own food. Pirates were always a threat.
- Tourism as we understand it didn't exist. Travel was so dangerous, slow, uncomfortable, and exhausting, you needed a really great reason to leave town like doing business, serving in the military, or making a pilgrimage to a temple, church, or shrine.
- For more modern novels, steamboats came into vogue in the 1820s, trains in the 1840s, and commercial flights after World War II.

10 for your thoughts

This is a pretty interesting short film talking about Creative Commerce.
- David Lewandowski talks about the Cool project vs Good pay scale. He's dead on about how you pay for a project does not directly effect how much money the clients pay for it. Some of the best work I have seen out there is just people doing what they love and not caring what they get paid for it.
- Also I love what Eliot Rauch asks the question about "WHY? Are you doing this?" Working in this business is hard unless you love it. It can't be for a superficial reason. You gotta love what you do in the end or everything else is for not.
- One other message was -As creatives we do not have the rights to the outcome to our process. We cannot control the outcome of the reception. Once we start to control the outcome before the fact, we ruin the whole process. All we can control is the effort and passion we put into our work.

This is a curious rule and it took me a long time to learn because in fact at the beginning of my practice I felt the opposite. Professionalism required that you didn't particularly like the people that you worked for or at least maintained an arms length relationship to them, which meant that I never had lunch with a client or saw them socially. Then some years ago I realised that the opposite was true. I discovered that all the work I had done that was meaningful and significant came out of an affectionate relationship with a client. And I am not talking about professionalism; I am talking about affection. I am talking about a client and you sharing some common ground. That in fact your view of life is someway congruent with the client, otherwise it is a bitter and hopeless struggle. (more…)

Golden Milk or Hold the Meds
As I approach the big 70, people often ask me what medications my husband and I take. So far, we've been lucky - and genetics plays a big roll in one's health - we don't take any daily medications. We try to eat healthy, step it up by getting off the couch, and laugh a lot. But there are a few things we do that may (or may not) make a difference.
Golden Milk is made using turmeric which is a golden-yellow spice originally from India. I found a YouTube video explaining the benefits of turmeric and Golden Milk (click Golden Milk recipe button). Dr. Arjan Khalsa's recipe and information about turmeric is awesome and turmeric is one of my favorite all-time, multi-talented remedies for many different ailments. It can be used for:

One of my patients tonight is an immature 19 years old. In fact, I am shocked at her immaturity, though it is something I frequently see in teenage mothers. I met her in the mists of a seizure caused by eclampsia, a condition which strikes pregnant women. She has two risk factors: She is young and this is her first pregnancy.
While 19 is older than most first time mothers I encounter in this population for which I provide medical care, I believe her sexual experience began at a much younger age. Why do I think this? For starters she has 4 sexually transmitted diseases. Five if you count her pregnancy. These diseases are herpes, syphilis, gonorrhea, and HIV. Yes, HIV at nineteen. I suspect she has been working as a prostitute. She is not a run away. Both her mother and an older sister have been to the hospital to see her. The records from the county hospital show her mother accompanied her to the prenatal visits she made there.
It is hard for me to imagine what kind of life has been handed to this young woman. The facts I learned as spent most of the morning trying to fill in the gaps social work and CPS left were shocking. The stories from family members differ. "She been livin' with a relative in another state." "The baby daddy 's in jail." I can't help but think she needed multiple sexual partners to contract all these diseases and the variety of explanations from the family seem to confirm my suspicion about prostitution. Though nineteen is old enough for her to be living on her own, it seems she has been on her own for some time.
Yet I am at a loss as to what to do. Child protective services came to make sure the baby would have care. Social work has little to offer. She will leave the hospital with her mother. I am not at all sure she will continue the medications she needs to prevent her from developing full blown AIDS. I can not think to much more about the situation. She is scheduled for discharge in just a few hours and I need to move on the other, more pressing problems today.

Pennsylvania Teen Seeks Presidency in 2036
minutes reading time
minute reading time
Red Lion, Pennsylvania, February 2018 - Sam Waltemyer for President 2036
Sam Waltemyer, a high school junior from Southern Pennsylvania has continued reaching out to the community for support for his 2036 Presidential Campaign, which has now been in existence for over two years. Waltemyer, who started his campaign during his freshman year Civics and Government class at the York County School of Technology in York, Pennsylvania, is dedicated to finding a common point in politics as a way to unite Democrats and Republicans. Sam has announced that when he registers to vote later this year he will register as an independent, but is not sure that he will remain an independent when he seeks political nomination and votes in 2036.
Says Waltemyer, on the "Political Party" page of the Platform section of his website, Sam2036.com, "Politically, I consider myself to be toward the middle of the political spectrum. In ways I am more liberal, in others I am a bit more conservative. I believe that we can work together to create a government that has a purpose to represent all the people. Most of us agree that there are times that we need to be liberal, and times that we need to be conservative. I want this campaign to be a representation of that: the idea that we can be both liberal and conservative. As a future voter, I would have no problem voting for either a Democrat or a Republican, so long as they match my political views."
Two of Sam's biggest passions are ending closed primary elections and the reformation of education. "Education is a gateway to the future, and should not be treated as anything less. And, as we progress into the future, education should be at the top of our minds- something that needs constant attention and change." Should he be elected, Sam plans to work closely with experts and leading authorities in a variety of issues and topics, and with the general public to help make the most well-informed, sincere, and effective decisions.
The campaign will target all Americans- Republicans, Democrats, and Third-Party Supporters alike- in an effort to raise awareness of unity and working together to create a more effective government, and a government that represents more people with a variety of political opinions and views. This campaign gives a brand new opportunity for people of all political parties to set aside their differences, compromise, and work together to bring about the long needed changes to government-run systems. Even at this early stage, the official campaign website has had visitors from well over twenty states across the United States, and has a strong support group on Facebook with over two hundred likes.
"My goal is to be there for the citizen. To help every citizen. In respecting, caring, and listening, we can unite as a people and a nation." -Sam Waltemyer
Interested parties can learn more about the 2036 Presidential Campaign of Sam Waltemyer by visiting the Sam for President website at www.Sam2036.com. There users will find more information about the start of the campaign, photos for press use, and details about Sam's political opinions on the "Platform" page.

So, this is about a month late, but I figured I better write it down now before I forget the details!!! (-:
Saturday, September 24, 2011.... I worked my usual weekend day shift, 7am to 7pm. By the time I got home that night, I was SO tired! Before I left work I let the charge nurse know that since I was at the top of the "on-call" list, I would be happy to be put on call on Sunday if need be. I was tired and was also getting a scratchy, sore throat...what felt like the beginning of a cold! (on call means you don't have to come into work unless they need you...they may call you in later in the day if there are several admissions etc. Usually, I get lucky & don't get called, so I get a day off!) At about 10pm, I was soaking in the tub when work called and said that most likely I would be on call the next day. Yeah!!!! I went to bed at about 11 and slept well. At about 5:40am, my work called and said I was officially on call, thank God I thought...because my throat was even more sore and dry and scratchy. ugh!!!!!
Sunday, September 25, 2011.....
After I hung up the phone with my work, I made my usual trek to the bathroom. I felt like I REALLY had to pee, even more so than usual. It felt like the baby was jumping and stomping on my bladder. So, when I wipe, I see a tiny spot of blood. "Hmmm......I have seen this before! And both times, I had a baby within 12 hrs!" I go back to bed & lie down, trying to sleep some more, but my bladder....it was still being strange! There was so much pressure on it. I got up 2 more times thinking I had to pee, but nothing. Then I started feeling a few mild contractions. I laid back down in bed and tried to time them...but they were very irregular and I got bored waiting for them to come! I got up at maybe 7/7:30 and took a bath. Something told me that I would probably need to go ahead & shave my legs just in case!!! After that, I got dressed, went downstairs and had my diabetic wheat toast with sugar free jelly. I really did not see much more blood, just an occasional small spot when I would wipe. I then did some laundry, washed up some dishes, swept the floor etc etc. My son got up, so I fed him. I had an occasional contraction, but still, nothing substantial or regular. At about 9/9:30 my husband got up and Peyton & I laid back down in bed and both of us fell asleep until about 11:30am. Of course, I mentioned to my husband that I had seen a little blood and had felt a few contractions....so he was on alert! LOL! When I got up at 11:30 I told my husband that I really thought he should cut the grass...I just had a feeling that we would be going to the hospital in the next 24 hrs and I did not want to come home from the hospital to knee high grass!!! So, he went out and cut the grass! I took Bella and Peyton outside and pushed Bella around in her car. I also swept a little and even raked up some dead grass in the front yard! Still having irregular contractions, but very tolerable. They would last about 45 seconds to 1 minute, but then for 10/20 minutes there would be nothing! After Shane cut the grass and took a shower I mentioned that we should just go and get lunch somewhere....it was nearly 2pm, we hadn't eaten lunch and I was too tired to fix anything! I figured I could at least get a grilled chicken wrap and a diet drink. So, we all pile into the van and head to Sonic. It was like all of the sudden...my contractions decided to start being regular! I had a pen and paper and started writing down the time they started and how long they were lasting. As we pulled into Sonic, I decided that I better call my Dr's office....After all, this WAS baby #5 and we do live an hour from the hospital. I had just been so reluctant to call earlier because the contractions were NOT 5 min apart and were not regular. I spoke to the nurse on call & she said she would page the Dr and give me a call back. A few minutes later, as we are waiting for our food at Sonic, she calls back. She must have heard the car engine or something because she said "Are you in the car?" and I said kind of embarrassed..."um, well, yes, but we are at Sonic. It's near our house and I am not getting anything to eat! we came to eat and all off the sudden my contractions started getting very regular & more painful". She laughed! And then said "well, the Dr wants you to go ahead and come to the hospital ASAP to be checked out". Ok! Here we go! At this point my contractions are anywhere from 10 min to 3 min apart. Lasting 45 sec each and hurt a bit more..... We rush home. My husband has not yet packed a bag! Mine is ready, aside from a few minor things. I run around and throw the minor things in my bag, stopping when the contractions make it hard to breathe or move! My 13 yr old daughter is watching Peyton and Bella. When we 1st got home, my husband ran next door and ask the neighbors if they would be around the rest of the day and told them I was going into labor & headed to the hospital. They were going to be home & were happy to lend my 13 yr old a hand if needed until my mom arrived. We wrote down their phone # inside the house for Savannah to call if she needed them. Bella & Peyton & Savannah ate as we ran around the house getting ready! Bella was due for a nap at this point, so we changed her diaper, hugged and kissed on her and laid her down. My mom was called and told to go ahead & come...we had called her earlier & gave her the heads up, be on alert call! So, finally, we leave. By this time, I am urging my husband to drive faster. (he drives so slow compared to me!!) Then I am telling him the short cuts. I think I even told him at one point to put his flashers on and floor it, but he refused. )-: I kept writing down my contractions all the way to the hospital. 3 to 4 min apart, sometimes 6 or 7 min apart. Very painful. We left the house at 3:15pm...just as it started to rain, to storm. We arrive at the hospital at 4:15pm.

5 days old!
It has been a long week! We were discharged from the hospital on Tuesday, but had to be readmitted on Wednesday evening so Olivia could be under the Bili lights. She had jaundice & it had gotten a little worse after discharge. So, we stayed at the hospital on Wednesday night & then got to go home on Thursday. We had a check up today at her pediatrician's and she is still weighing in at 6 lbs 2 oz. They did another blood draw to check her bilirubin levels...they are back up a little, but not enough to put us back in the hospital, thank goodness! We just keep on feeding her every 3 hrs (she is a good eater!!!) and have another weight check in the morning. They also may do one more blood draw tomorrow. Hoping & praying that she will have gained a few ounces and that her Bili levels are down!!! She is doing wonderfully though! She is such a sweet, laid back baby! I am amazed at how tiny she is! I am used to big 8 lb plus chunkers! This one is swallowed up whole by NB clothes! I hardly have any b/c normally my babies can only wear that size for like maybe 1 day! LOL! I am always worried, just because she is so tiny & seems so much more fragile! "Is she still breathing!?" "Did she burp really well so that she doesn't burp & aspirate when I lie her back down??" "Does she feel hot?!" "Does she look yellow again?!"

The prevalence of food allergy seems to be on the rise and more and more people are avoiding foods because of a perceived allergy. Any food protein, including soy, can cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. But even though soy protein is one of the eight foods responsible for approximately 90 percent of food-induced allergic reactions in the United States, soy allergies remain relatively rare. A nationally representative telephone survey found that only approximately 1 out of 2,500 adults reported having a doctor-diagnosed allergy to soy protein. Allergy to milk was 40 times more common than to soy. Children are more likely to be allergic to soy than adults, which is not surprising since food allergies are less common in adults than children. And by age 10, an estimated 70 percent of children will outgrow their soy allergies….
Ankeny Community School District Adds Edamame to its Menus
Ankeny, Iowa, April 19, 2012— Today's consumers are increasingly interested in broadening their culinary experience with more global ingredients and healthful choices. That goes for school kids, too, who are acquiring more educated palates thanks to school food service programs. Beginning April 24, students in grades K-12 in the Ankeny Community School District will be introduced to Edamame (fresh green soybeans) as a vegetable choice on their school menus. Edamame, steamed in the pod or shelled, are a traditional Japanese snack. The recipe that will be offered to students in the Ankeny Schools is Edamame Succotash, a colorful side dish featuring corn and bell peppers….
Free Educational Soy Toy: A Smartphone Game App for Kid
Just in time to celebrate National Soy Foods Month in April, the Soy Pals virtual friend game has been released to help kids learn how to make the wise diet and exercise choices to create a healthier lifestyle. The free app, sponsored by The Soyfoods Council and the United Soybean Board, is available for Apple products such as iPad and iPhone as well as Android mobile devices….
How to Simplify and "Soy-ize" Your Dinner Plans for National Soyfoods Month
April is National Soyfoods Month, the ideal time for getting acquainted with foods such as TSP (texturized soy protein) and tofu. If you're already enjoying soyfoods like edamame, soymilk, soy nuts and soy yogurt on a regular basis, you'll be delighted to learn that soyfoods offer a host of health and nutrition benefits.
Mark Messina, PhD., leading soy expert and executive director of the Soy Nutrition Institute, says, "Soyfoods provide ample amounts of protein and are low in saturated fat. There is also research indicating that soyfoods provide health benefits independent of their nutrient content. For example, there is evidence suggesting that soy may reduce the risk of prostate cancer and is protective against breast cancer if consumed during childhood and/or adolescence."…
Tofu may offer protection against diarrhea
While most Americans consider diarrhea to be an occasional discomfort associated with the stomach flu, it's a widespread disease in developing countries. Nearly five of every 1,000 preschoolers in these countries die from diarrhea, and it's the second most common cause of infant deaths worldwide.
Diarrhea kills through dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Because drugs used to treat diarrhea have potentially serious side effects and can impair the central nervous system, there has been a search for natural compounds for treatment of this disease.
One food that has been used with success is tempeh, a fermented soybean product that is native to Indonesia. Extracts from tempeh may prevent enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), the pathogen most often associated with diarrhea in children, from adhering to intestinal cells. While it's the fermentation process that has been thought to confer these benefits, new research from the Netherlands has found that nonfermented soyfoods may be beneficial, too.
Dr. Mo and colleagues from Wageningen University in the Netherlands measured the ability of extracts of tempeh and tofu to prevent the adhesion of ETEC to intestinal cells. They found that for both raw and cooked tempeh and tofu, the more they added, the less the ETEC adhered to the intestinal cells. Next, they put tofu and tempeh through a process that mimicked digestion to see whether the harsh pH of the stomach along with pancreatic enzymes would impact the protective properties of these foods. Interestingly, simulated digestion appeared to markedly enhance the anti-adhesive properties of both tempeh and tofu. As a result, the researchers suggested that both tempeh and tofu could be protective against diarrhea.
Mo et al., Lett Appl Microbiol. 2011.
New Research Suggests that Soyfoods Are Protective Against Prostate Cancer
Two new studies add to the existing evidence that eating soyfoods can reduce risk for prostate cancer in men at risk for this disease or aid treatment for prostate cancer patients. The possible protective effects of soy against prostate cancer have been rigorously studied for two decades.
Although prostate cancer is the sixth most common cause of male cancer deaths worldwide, it ranks second among cancer deaths in American men. Because risk increases among men who move from low-risk to high-risk countries, it appears that differences in prostate cancer rates are linked to lifestyle rather than genetics. Regular consumption of soyfoods like tofu, soymilk, and miso could be one of the reasons why men in Japan are less likely to get prostate cancer compared to westerners.
Researchers in Japan tested that theory in 158 men, ages 50 to 75, who had elevated PSA levels. PSA, or prostate specific antigen, is linked to prostate cancer risk (1). An increase in the level of this protein can be associated with tumor growth. Half of the men took a supplement containing 60 milligrams of isoflavones, which are compounds found in soybeans. The amount of isoflavones they consumed was the equivalent of about 2 ½ servings of traditional soyfoods, such as a cup of soymilk, 3 ounces of tofu or 1 ounce of soynuts. The other men were given a placebo.
At the end of the 12-month study period, there was no difference in PSA levels between the two groups. However, while 34 percent of the men in the placebo group developed prostate cancer, only 21 percent of those taking isoflavones developed this disease. The difference was much greater among men over the age of 65. In this group, 57 percent of those taking a placebo had prostate cancer compared to 28 percent of men consuming isoflavone supplements. Since isoflavones didn't affect levels of testosterone, the reason for their protective effect in this study isn't known.
In another study, this one conducted at Pennsylvania State University, 10 men with prostate cancer who had not responded to conventional treatment were asked to consume three servings of soyfoods per day for two years (2). All of the men had been treated with radiation and surgery, and three of them had also received hormonal treatment to suppress levels of testosterone, since this hormone can stimulate tumor growth. These treatments were known to be ineffective because the subjects' PSA levels continued to rise. It is not clear how best to further treat patients in this situation.
Nine of the men chose to drink three glasses of soymilk each day, and one used a combination of soy snacks. Among the seven participants who had not received hormonal therapy, soy consumption was associated with beneficial changes in PSA levels (which stayed the same or declined) in four of them. PSA levels were favorably affected in one of the three men who had had hormonal treatment. Overall, half of the men benefited from daily consumption of soyfoods. The researchers concluded that "soy supplementation using commercially available soy products can have durable beneficial effects on PSA levels … in some men with prostate cancer."

Soy improves skin health
Over the past few years, several studies have hinted at the possibility that soy is good for the skin but this research has been limited in scope. However, two new studies present the strongest evidence to date that soy reduces wrinkles in menopausal women. In one study, which was published in the journal Menopause, 101 postmenopausal Japanese women took either a placebo or a dietary supplement rich in equol for 12 weeks. Equol is made by intestinal bacteria from the soybean isoflavone daidzein, which is plentiful in soybeans. At study termination, there was a significant reduction in wrinkle depth in the equol group. In the second study, which has not been published but has been presented at several scientific meetings, postmenopausal women took either a mixture containing soy isoflavones or a placebo for 14 weeks. As in the Japanese study, there was a decrease in wrinkles in the soy group. Furthermore, women with the most wrinkles at baseline experienced the most benefit. An additional benefit seen in the study was an increase in collagen synthesis in the women consuming isoflavones. While the results should be considered preliminary, they are not surprising. Estrogen receptors are located throughout the skin and soy phytoestrogens share some of the same properties as estrogen, which is also thought to promote skin health.

Although targeted therapy drugs don't affect you the same way that standard chemo drugs do, they can still cause side effects. There are many different types of targeted drugs, and the side effects from these drugs depend largely on what each drug targets.
What should I know about side effects?
- Not every person gets every side effect, and some people get few, if any.
- The severity of side effects can vary greatly from drug to drug and from person to person. Be sure to talk to your cancer care team about which side effects are most common with your treatment, how long they might last, how bad they might be, and when you should call the doctor's office about them. Your doctor may give you instructions to follow or medicines to help prevent some side effects before they happen.
- Rare and unusual side effects can happen with some of these drugs, and some can be serious. Report all changes and side effects as soon as possible to your cancer care team.
- Although side effects can be unpleasant, the less serious ones must be measured against the need to fight the cancer.

These are the times that try dogs' souls.
Independence Day, it seems, can be bad news for Bowzer--firecrackers exploding, fish hooks flying, half-eaten hamburgers descending from paper plates. There's heat stroke, indigestion and family-induced frenzy sufficient to push a once well-mannered pet over the edge.
So the San Diego County Veterinary Medical Assn. has chosen this year to champion the interests of pets, the Fourth of July victims of owners' misguided largess. Towards that end, the association is promoting the following pointers against inadvertent pet abuse:
- Resist the temptation to indulge your Akita with cheeseburgers and barbecue-flavored potato chips. Before lobbing a gnawed drumstick to your Pomeranian, remember the wreckage that can be wrought in a dog's gut by a splintered chicken bone.

Greg Duncan, John Zseleczky and I convoyed down I-95/ highway 301/I-75 to Ocala, where Merv Wescoat and his daughter Barb generously fed us and put us up for the night. The next morning we continued the journey to St. Petersburg and finally arrived at Gulfport YC. For me, one-way is just a whisker over a thousand miles. Is it worth it? Ja, you betcha! Turnout was a bit disappointing this year with only 8 boats, but the weather was warm (daytime high temps in the low 80s) and there was a good breeze (high teens to around 12 knots out of the SSW). Those of you who stayed home because of a multitude of reasons missed a great event!
|Moth Boaters always get a warm welcome from GYC
|Gulfport YC's clubhouse.
|We arrived around 11 o'clock and were greeted by sea smoke. Fog is common here in the mornings due to the temperature differences between the bay and the land. It usually burns off by noon.
|This ex-Scott Sandell Mistral was for sale.
|No reasonable offer refused!
|Don't know about the "race ready" part. Looks like the fore deck needs a bit of TLC after being in the hot Florida sun...
|Anyway, we unloaded boats and rigged up. There are condos not far beyond that sea smoke but you can't see them! Photo credit: Amy Parker.
|Some renewed old acquaintances. Here Larry Suter (white cap) chews the fat with Jeff Linton. Photo credit: Amy Parker.
|Saturday morning. Registration and the skipper's meeting were held on the front porch. Photo credit: Len Parker.
|The race committee used this course and also a windward leeward course. The modification involved moving the start/finish line from the center of the course to a position below mark Nr 3. Photo credit: Len Parker.
|The first warning signal was at high noon. Nice pix of the first start. Where the hell am I? Photo credit: Len Parker.
|Another start where I'm late to the line. I'm always interested in seeing the photos from various peeps with cameras out in the mark boat. They are usually quite instructive if a little humbling. Photo credit: Amy Parker.
|Another blown start! You can tell I haven't set foot in a boat since last October. Photo credit: Amy Linton.
|I finally did begin to achieve halfway decent starts as seen here. Photo credit: Amy Linton.
|One of our better skippers, Mark Saunders, seen to windward of my boat in this pix, paid me a compliment by telling me that my ability to sail higher than his boat was really becoming "annoying"! Photo credit: Len Parker.
|86 year old Merv Wescoat didn't feel up to racing his Moth Boat but he brought his Harpoon 5.2 down to Gulfport to spectate and get in a little practice with his daughter Barb before the next Harpoon regatta. Photo credit: Len Parker.
|There were a couple of new sail shapes tried out at this regatta. This one (Nr 3) is on Larry Suter's Europe. Photo credit: Amy Linton.
|Greg Duncan tried this loose footed sail with full battens. Photo credit: Amy Parker
|Right before the start of the fifth race, overall regatta leader Jeff Linton had a problem with his outhaul control. He capsized on purpose so that he could swim to the end of the boom and fix it. Photo credit: Len Parker.
|Mark Saunders and I made the most of Jeff's misfortune. Mark came in 1st overall that race and I finished 2nd. Photo credit: Len Parker.
|At the end of racing on Saturday Walt Collins, who I never beat unless he beats himself, and I were tied on points with me leading the Generation I group by virtue of the tie-breaker rule. Photo credit: Len Parker.
|Sunday's breeze was less robust than the preceding day. This spectator doesn't seem to mind. Photo credit: Len Parker.
|However, the morning sea smoke did delay the start of racing for roughly an hour. Photo credit: Amy Linton.
|We started off with light and flukey air, which is not my forte. Somehow I surprised myself and got a good start this race. Photo credit: Amy Parker.
|Walt was on my bumper the whole way around the course. Nervous times! Photo credit: Amy Parker.
|I didn't know if I could hold him off but in the end I did. In this pix I have my eyes closed and I'm praying that when I reopen them I'll be safely across the finish line! Photo credit: Amy Parker.
|It's lonely out here in DFL land... Photo credit: Amy Parker.
|Hmmm, maybe it's not as lonely as I thought. Is that a porpoise fin or a shark??? Whatever it is, it's a biggin'. Photo credit: Len Parker.
|Mike Parsons is seeming to have a good time even if his back gave him enough problems that he dropped out of the racing on Saturday. He went well on Sunday after rest and prescription strength advil. Photo credit: Len Parker.
|At the end of the regatta Jeff Linton had won another overall Mid-Winter title and also won in the Generation II division. Is there no stopping him?! Photo credit: Len Parker.
|A tip of the cap to my photo crew on the mark boat, without whom we wouldn't have these instructive pix. Here we have Amy (the good looking one) and Lennie Parker. Photo credit: Amy Linton.
|Last but not least, is Amy Linton, mark boat skipper and shutter bug extraordinaire. Photo credit: Len Parker.

Those speculating that the president of the good people of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari is under the weather with an ear infection should forget the tale. The tall 73 year old ex-general from Katsina is hale and hearty.
Today (Monday, May 23) , he received the governor of Ogun (Senator Ibikunle Amosun) in his office, Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja ( Federal Capital Territory). He was grinning, in a jolly mood and stood as he shook hands, as the official pictures showed.
Late yesterday as the news of the cancellation of his two day official visit to Lagos gained ground, speculations about the reason flew afield. One of such tales said he was sick with an ear infection. Others claimed he cancelled coming to Lagos because Asiwaju BOLA Ahmed Tinubu hosted the Ayuba Waba faction of Nigeria Labour Congress last week following their indefinite strike action without clearance from the presidency.
What's clear today is that the president is well, joyous and kicking…

Those little $1.44 million loans—they always come back to bite you:
Earlier today, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) against Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist and his 2000 Senate campaign committee, Frist 2000, Inc.
The complaint alleges that the Frist 2000, Inc. failed to disclose a $1.44 million loan taken out jointly by Frist 2000, Inc. and by Frist's 1994 campaign committee, Bill Frist for Senate, Inc., making it appear that Frist 2000, Inc. had significantly more money that it actually had.
In June 2000, Senator Frist took $1 million of the money that had been contributed to his 2000 Senate campaign and invested it in the stock market, where it promptly began losing money. In November 2000, Senator Frist sought to collect $1.2 million he had lent his 1994 Senate campaign committee. As a result of the stock market losses, however, Frist 2000, Inc. did not have enough money to repay the loan. Senator Frist solved this problem by having the 1994 and the 2000 campaign committees jointly take out a $1.44 million bank loan at a cost of $10,000 a month interest. Frist 2000, Inc. did not report this debt on its FEC disclosure forms.
The Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) requires full disclosure of all loans taken out by campaign committees; Frist 2000 failed to do this (although his dormant 1994 campaign did file). The loan papers were all signed by Frist himself.
Melanie Sloan, CREW's executive director, said "it appears that Senator Frist deliberately broke the law by failing to disclose the $1.44 million loan in Frist 2000, Inc.'s FEC filings. Senator Frist was clearly trying to hide the fact that his 2000 campaign was over a million dollars in debt. Given the large sum of money involved and the fact that the violation appears to have been knowing and willful, the FEC should refer this matter to the Department of Justice for possible criminal prosecution."
Will be interesting to see what happens next…

Videos exported from Camtasia (Mac) are blurry.
Please view our tutorial on Getting Crisp, Clear Screen Videoin Camtasa.
Set the Canvas Size to Match the Video for All New Projects
Videos that are imported into Camtasia (Mac) 3 by default, are set to the canvas at the 1080p resolution (1920x1080). This means that if your video is not exactly 1920x1080, it will be scaled to have 1080 height and the width of the video will be scaled proportional to the videos original aspect ratio.
To change default option, select Camtasia 3 (in the top left), then from that dropdown select Preferences. Select the Canvas option (in top right).
Set Canvas Dimensions (for both Full Screen Recording and Region Recording) to Original Recording Dimensions.

My granddaughter
held out her hand,
Grandma, what is this?"
She waved
an object back and forth,
As if for
Her sheepish
grin revealed to me,
She had
been somewhere forbidden,
Like into
boxes on a shelf,
That I
thought were well hidden.
there upon a cord,
A small
canvas bag of blue,
I caught
the bag with my two hands,
And instantly
I knew.
where'd you find this?"
shoulders, her reply,
"I thought
that this was long since gone,"
A tear
sneaked from my eye.
cry, Grandma, I'll put it back,
I'm sorry
I was bad."
"No, sweetheart,
it's all right,
Just for
a moment, I felt sad."
Then I took
her up unto my lap,
And we
opened up the bag,
two rubber shoe-like soles,
by blue strips of rags.
"Ugh, Grandma,
who wants that?"
She jumped
down and left the room,
I held
blue remnants in my hands,
That time
and age had near consumed.
My grandchild,
much too young to share,
The history
of those scraps,
now for me alone,
Or, my
God and me, perhaps.
Now, let's
see - what would it be,
- forty - fifty years?
Could it
really be that long?
My eyes
swelled up again with tears.
I think
I was not twenty yet,
I know
I was in college,
I was self-supporting,
And I had
this thirst for knowledge.
Money was
not plentiful,
I barely
covered food and rent,
I bought
no clothes; I had no treats,
I knew
I dared not waste a cent.
My mother,
too, was working hard,
And she
had bills to meet,
She wanted
so to help me out,
But, poor
soul, she also had to eat.
We commiserated
with each other,
one day things would change,
Ever struggling
for the future,
We shared
our joys and our pains.
This day
- a vicious rainstorm,
Water rose
high over curbs,
The worst
storm of the season,
Was one
report I later heard.
Mom and
I had planned this outing,
Not too
concerned about the storm,
We met
at a local tearoom,
Which was
cozy, dry and warm.
Right off,
Mom saw how wet I was,
I was soaked
through to the skin,
where's your rain boots?"
"What a
state," she said, "You're in."
Mom, I don't have any,
But I think
by ... next ... payday..."
The distressed
look up on her face,
Blew all
my words away.
She bit
her lip and said, "Oh, honey,"
Then she
took me to a store,
Which sold
rain gear at a discount,
boots, and more.
We picked
out a cheap umbrella,
Such guilt
I felt that night,
I knew
Mom should not spend the money,
she kept saying, "It's all right."
Then we
chose blue canvas rain boots,
With thick,
black rubber soles,
Thick enough
to keep me dry,
Even if
I stepped in holes.
I remember
thinking at the time,
I'm not
a child any more,
Yet there
she was, still caring,
Just as
she had done before.
She said,
"It's just a little thing,"
Major sacrifice,
thought I,
I saw an
act of love that night,
That I'd
remember 'til I die.
My appreciation
then was great,
But now,
I think, it's greater,
Funny how
years fleeting by,
one's values later.
I sat back
then and thought about,
My mom
and when she died,
I thought
now I am old enough,
To take
that very ride.
"Yes, Mom,
soon I'll be joining you,
I've changed
since you were here,
But when
I arrive, you'll know me,
I'll be
wearing blue rain gear.
"I know
we have been promised,
Robes of
gold and pure white,
But if I
wear my old blue rain boots,
Mama, would
it be all right?"

Give it Some Welly
On the night of Wednesday 9th December, all the Guilds in Dumbarton Presbytery Council congregated within Dumbarton Riverside Church, with their friends, for a lovely Carol Service. Representatives of the Glasgow Caring City (www.glasgowthecaringcity.com)were in attendance. It is proposed to give the wellies displayed to the recently arrived Syrian refugee children. And what a display of colourful wellies there were.

Sweden - Norrbotten
32 images
In the far north of Sweden the indigenous Sami people have traded their reindeer-sleigh for snow mobiles. Mostly. They still have a close connection to the wilderness, the snow and a few thousand reindeer in the forest. Every spring when the skies turn blue the Sami people get together to share some fun and friendship. The snow is deep and the lakes are frozen, perfect conditions for ice-fishing.
Here's another 1,000 images from all over Sweden :)
Ewen Bell's other website is called "Photography for Travellers", an online guide rich in features both practical and philosophical. Field guides to wonderful locations, insights into techniques plus inspiring idea to help you think differently about the art of photography.
Photography for Travellers
Ewen's guiding principles are simple...
"Go slow. Get closer. Look for the light."
"Photography is about showing other people how to see, to share the beauty of life. It's not a job, it's a lifestyle. We only get one lifetime, one chance to add some light into the world. Photography competitions are mostly silly. Cats are excellent."
