After two quiet days on the course, Tiger Woods lost his cool on the sixth hole.
After a poor shot off the tee, cameras caught the golfer saying, "Tiger Woods, you suck," followed by an expletive.
CBS announcer Verne Lundquist responded, "I don't think he's pleased."
As Fanhouse points out, neither are parents at home. SportsCenter anchor Sage Steele responded via Twitter: "Tiger's profane outburst was heard quite clearly by my 3 young kids..pathetic in so many ways. glad CBS broadcasters called him on it."
Woods went on to bogey the hole, and now sits tied for third, four strokes behind the leader Phil Mickelson with one round to go in the Masters.

This is one political tent virtually no one wants to be under.
Libyan President Moammar Gadhafi will pitch a massive tent in the middle of a quiet New Jersey suburb when he is in town for a UN General Assembly meeting next month, according to The New York Post.
The terrorist-harboring leader -- recently photographed warmly embracing newly released Pan Am Flight 103 bomber
Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi -- typically travels with an air-conditioned tent and plans to set up camp on the front lawn of an Englewood, N.J., home that is owned by the Libyan Mission to the UN, the paper reported.
U.S. & World
Neighbors in the quiet Jersey suburb are fuming about the move to the Englewood property, which has been owned by the mission since 1983 and used as a weekend home. Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, one-time spiritual adviser to Micahel Jackson, lives next door.
"I think having a terrorist living next door would be devastating, and I'd consider moving," said one resident.
"Why would a head of government come to this small community to live? asked Dr. Peter Scaglione. "He must have an ulterior motive."
The meeting is scheduled to begin Sept. 23.
Gadhafi has been forced off property at the United Nations because the area is under construction. He asked to erect a tent in Central Park but the request was rejected, sources told the paper.

Edward Ward Carmack | "Boss" Crump

Library Photograph Collection
On January 16, 1920, the day National Prohibition passed into law, a Nashville newspaper reported that "burlesque funeral services will be held over the dead body of John Barleycorn." At this meeting of the local Kiwanis Club, an "alarm clock will be set to ring at the end of the services, sounding the death knell of John Barleycorn" (the name John Barleycorn personifies alcoholic beverages made from barley and corn, such as beer and whiskey). The forces of temperance ruled the day.
In this exhibit, the word "temperance" refers to a range of positions. Early in the movement, it could mean moderation in or abstinence from drinking alcoholic beverages. The American temperance movement began in the late 1820s and had its roots in religious and capitalist thought. Protestant churches especially embraced the idea. They preached that by avoiding the moral evil of alcohol, believers would be better prepared for eternal life. Agrarian interests and industrial leaders argued that moderation or abstinence would improve work habits. Before long, however, temperance came to mean total prohibition. Support increased, and temperance societies sprang up in hundreds of communities nationwide. Tennessee's first societies appeared early in the movement. In 1829, citizens in Kingsport and Nashville organized fellowships. Newspapers and journals devoted to the cause were published in Maryville, Tullahoma, and Nashville. The Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) and Anti-Saloon League became powerful voices, in Tennessee and nationally, for social change. There was even a national Prohibition Party.
"Ladie's [sic] Knitting Party at Tradewell's Saloon," In Nora Wilmot: A Tale of Temperance and Woman's Rights by Henrietta Rose, 1858
Library Collection
William G. "Parson" Brownlow, Reconstruction governor of Tennessee, was also a Methodist minister. He predicted that drinking would "bring down upon us…Sodom's guilt and Sodom's doom." Political quarrels over the prohibition issue were common in Tennessee. Throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the General Assembly enacted laws that forbade liquor sales near schools, churches, and hospitals. The issue came to dominate Tennessee politics and it was "dry" vs. "wet," or prohibition vs. anti-prohibition.
Tennessee's most shocking prohibition-related event took place in downtown Nashville on November 8, 1908. It was a killing that changed the direction of state politics in favor of the dry forces. Edward Ward Carmack and Duncan Brown Cooper were bitter enemies. Once good friends, the men had come to despise each other after Cooper supported another candidate, Malcolm Patterson, in the 1907 Democratic primary for governor. The next year Carmack, editor of the Nashville Banner and a staunch prohibitionist, published a scathing attack on Cooper, a leader in the wet forces.
Petition from the King, Chiefs, and Warriors of the Chickasaw Nation to the Tennessee General Assembly, Nashville, Tennessee, September 10, 1821
The Chickasaws asked that legislation be enacted to ban the sale of intoxicating spirits to their people. The petition also refers to the 1802 law passed by the Great Council [U. S. Congress] authorizing the President to prevent alcohol sales to the Native Americans.
RG 60, General Assembly Original Bills, etc.
Cooper and his son Robin were on foot when, by sheer coincidence, Carmack came walking toward them. Versions of what happened next differ. A popular account has it that Carmack, fearing for his life, fired his pistol first, with Robin returning fire. Whoever initiated the affair, Carmack lay dead at the corner of 7th and Union, and the drys had a martyr.
Efforts to achieve a ban continued until 1909, when a partial statewide prohibition became law. One bill banned the sale of liquor within four miles of a school, and a second prohibited the manufacture of intoxicating beverages. Gov. Patterson used his veto power, but the legislature overrode it. Although the laws went into effect, they were only loosely enforced. Bars and saloons in Memphis and Nashville operated openly, and the drys charged that the liquor interests had bought influence.
Tennessee ratified the 18th Amendment (National Prohibition) on January 13, 1919. Though it did not prohibit drinking alcohol, it outlawed its sale and distribution. The new constitutional amendment went into effect the following year. It was repealed in 1933 by the 21th Amendment.
"An Act to Repeal All Laws Licensing Tippling Houses," Nashville, Tennessee, January 26, 1838
Saloons, or taverns, were known as "tippling houses," and the taxes raised from their licensing had been used to fund schools. The new 1838 law made retailing spirituous drinks a crime punishable by fine.
Acts of the Tennessee General Assembly, 1838,
Chapter 120
Excerpts from Report of the Joint Committee of the General Assembly, on Tippling Houses, 1837:
[...] Your committee are aware of the great responsibility resting on them in hazarding an opinion on this momentous question, either for repealing or continuing in force the acts of 1831 and 1835, licensing tippling houses. [...] Again, since the passage of the act of 1831, above referred to, many tippling houses have been fitted up in a style so handsome, as to have become places of fashionable resort. [...] Such a state of things could not have happened, if tippling houses had not been legalized. It is the law which makes these haunts comfortable, alluring, and respectable, by shielding their owners from censure and punishment. It is the law which has removed all restraint from those who are visitors to such establishments, and sanctifies their conduct. [...] Your committee by no means consider themselves the censors of the people, or clear of the vices they have portrayed in others, but believe they have discharged a duty in making this report, incumbent on them in their present station. They in conclusion recommend the repeal of the acts of 1831 and 1835, authorising persons to retail spirits [...]
Sons of Temperance membership certificate for John S. Russwurm, September 1, 1852
John Sumner Russwurm Papers
The Sons of Temperance was founded in 1842 as a fraternal order urging prohibition or reduction of the use of alcoholic beverages. It was the most widely known brotherhood of its kind. Its mission was to shield its members from the evils of drink and elevate their character. These two undated songs were published in Nashville.
John Russwurm of Rutherford County joined the Sons of Temperance on September 1, 1852. The Rutherford County chapter was ahead of the curve as such societies were not yet very popular in the South.
Churches were natural choices for hosting temperance talks. An unidentified Methodist church was the venue for this 1884 event featuring Prof. John Moffat, a Scots-Canadian celebrated on the temperance lecture circuit. Moffat was familiar to Tennesseans as a landowner who donated property for the site of Fairmount College, a women's school on Monteagle Mountain.
John J. Hickman was a well-known leader in the Independent Order of Good Templars (I.O.G.T.), a brotherhood whose sole purpose was "delivering the land and the world from the curse of intemperance." He was a dynamic speaker who lectured in Lynchburg, Moore County, Tennessee, in 1883. Hickman was described as an "abstainer" who had never tasted intoxicating liquors, coffee, tea or used tobacco in any form.
Newspaper article on the WCTU, Nashville Tennessean and Nashville American, Nashville, Tennessee, October 1, 1916
Bettie M. Donelson Papers
The Nashville Tennessean and Nashville American published this front-page story about Tennessee women who were movers and shakers in the fight over prohibition. The Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) was founded in 1874 out of concern for the destructive power and harmful social effects of alcohol and Tennessee's first WCTU chapter was organized in Memphis in 1874. The women would meet in churches to pray, then march to saloons where they asked owners to close their bars. This 1916 feature article was written as the national debate was heating up.
The Women's Christian Temperance Union held its national convention in Nashville in 1907. Pictured in the souvenir booklet for the convention are five women who helped shepherd the WCTU through the sharp debates of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Organizing in Nashville were Bettie Mizell Donelson, Emily Martin Settle, Georgia Hooper Mizell, Mrs. E. H. East, and Silena Moore Holman. They hosted frequent rallies though they endured hooting and were the targets of rotten eggs. When Holman became president of the state chapter, the topic of prohibition dominated Tennessee politics. The WCTU was a major player in winning a statewide ban on alcohol in 1909.
However, not everyone who supported the temperance movement also supported the Women's Christian Temperance Union. A Madison County planter and ardent prohibitionist, Robert H. Cartmell, made this diary entry critical of the WCTU. He complains that its members fill the church pulpits, and he thinks it would be wise for the women to read what St. Paul had to say about women speaking publicly.
[...] A crowd there [in town]. The Women's Temperance I believe for the whole state, Methodist, Baptist, & Campbellites mostly if not altogether, quite a crowd of them. Saw in the papers where at the 11, o,clock services Sunday morning the women would fill the pulpit of the different churches — I think all of the churches, except the Presr [Presbyterian], Episcopal & maybe the Catholic, with a temperance lecture, seems strange, never the less it is true. Before beginning their lectures [they] ought to read to the Congregation what Paul has to say about women speaking in public. According to my idea of things, it is a shame, a usurpation, a defiance of God's word. Can one be wrong in not approving of such things. The Bible speaks plainly on this subject.
While many Americans supported the temperance cause, many other Americans did not. Supporters of temperance were often seen as scolds or busybodies, as this blistering critique indicates.
"The Ten Commandments of the Prohibitionists," ca. 1900
Tennessee Historical Society Broadside Collection
We, the ad[illeg.]s of cold water, ignorance and prohibition, [illeg.] the Lord thy God's, who did not bring thee out of the land of Egypt but want to bring thee into the house of bondage; thou shalt have no other God before us.
[illeg.] shalt not make, handle, sell nor drink [illeg.] [str]ong drink; for ye are poor people and w[illeg.] good enough for ye. We the rich, ho[wever], are God's chosen people, and thus ha[ve the r]ight to drink fine wines, strong drink, or [anyth]ing our heart lusteth after.
Thou shalt not drink the muddy river water in vain, except in public; for as a Prohibitionist, you ought to have sense enough to know the art of drinking wine, beer or brandy; or any other good drink, without being seen by anybody. [...]
Thou shalt no[t] [st]eal, for this is the most infamous of crimes [illeg.] the poor, no matter what color or nationality, and must be punished with the extremest [illeg.]enality of the law; but we God's elected and the Prohibitionist, claim the right of stealing not only thy hard earned money, but also the liberties which thy forefathers fought for, by dictating what thou shouldst eat, drink and wear, and how thou shouldst spend thy money. [...]
Temperance-themed sheet music was popular during the last half of the nineteenth century. Song titles and lyrics were designed to elicit strong emotions. Young members of the Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) sang songs and hymns such as "Lips That Touch Liquor Shall Never Touch Mine" (1874).
"The Rum-Fiend's Revel" (1879) warned:
A-ha! for the homes where I soon shall seek
For the manliest brow and the fairest cheek
For the lips that await my delirious kiss
For the lock where the serpents will coil and hiss
A-ha! for the bosoms of snow to feel
The murderous blow, and the deadliest steel
And a smile the Rum-Fiend's visage wore
As the prospect grim he gloated o'er.
Edward Ward Carmack was born in Sumner County, Tennessee, in 1858. He was elected to the Tennessee House of Representatives in 1884, to the U. S. House of Representatives in 1896, and to the U. S. Senate in 1901. Because of his political career, Carmack had already gained a reputation as a social and political reformer when he took up the temperance fight. When he left the U. S. Senate in 1907, Carmack became editor of the Nashville Tennessean (a newspaper founded by Col. Luke Lea) and used his position to further the prohibition cause. In 1908, bitter about his loss in the recent governor's election, Carmack published an article demeaning his biggest anti-prohibition foe, Duncan Brown Cooper. On November 8, Cooper's son Robin shot Carmack to death as the three men met on a downtown street. Carmack, who had fired first, became a martyr to the prohibitionists.
"The Vital Issue: State-Wide Prohibition," Anti-Saloon League pamphlet, Nashville, Tennessee, April 30, 1908
Arthur Crownover Papers
Published by the Anti-Saloon League, this 1908 speech assailed saloons as arrogant, disrespectful, lawless, and a curse upon industry and the family. The League's mission was to lobby legislators to pass prohibition laws. Tennessee imposed a statewide liquor ban the following year.
[...] I am one of those who believe that the saloon is an unmitigated curse to the State, a great source of crime and corruption, a burden upon its industries, a blight upon its homes. I am one of those who have been convinced, by the failure of all regulative and restraining legislation, that some way or other, by some method or other, the saloons must be destroyed.[...]
My countrymen, when we see the liquor power of this whole country marshaling its battalions for an invasion of this State, I believe we should summon to our standard every enemy of the saloon from the mountains to the Mississippi, meet the enemy at the border, and end this war in one great pitched battle. When that battle is over and the victory won, let us write upon the statute books a law, as long and as broad as the State of Tennessee, which will banish the liquor traffic finally and forever from every inch of our soil.
Correspondence from W. R. Hamilton, Nashville, Tennessee, November 21, 1911
GP 36, Gov. Ben Hooper Papers
In 1911 W. R. Hamilton, Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, wrote to Governor Ben W. Hooper calling on officials to enforce the statewide prohibition passed in 1909. Many officials across the state had chosen to not enforce the prohibition law, and many bars and saloons still operated openly at the time. Hamilton accuses the "liquor power" of protecting the liquor traffic and enabling political corruption.
As a two-term mayor of Memphis, Tennessee, in the early 1900s, Edward Hull "Boss" Crump openly ignored the state's prohibition laws and even tried to contrive a way for the Memphis government to legally ignore them. In Nashville new legislation was passed that called for any official who did not enforce state laws to be removed from office. The "Ouster Law" was subsequently used to remove Crump from office in 1915. Despite being removed from his position as Mayor of Memphis, however, Crump would remain a powerful and influential force in Tennessee politics until his death in 1954.

Temperance advocates also lobbied political candidates and elected officials. "The Political Quartet" was published during the 1896 presidential campaign. Images of candidates William McKinley (Republican) and William Jennings Bryan (Democrat) and their running mates appear in each corner. Both major parties endorsed prohibition. The Prohibition Party also had strong support that year.

This diagram appeared in an 1898 book on alcoholism (also called inebriety). The center line represents life's healthy conditions such as balance of character, pleasures of the intellect and body, self-respect, and soul preservation. The top and bottom lines show the aberrations of the drinker's character, for example, disease, lack of morals, laziness, lying, cruelty, cowardice, and insanity.

Trademark registration for Root Juice Compound, Fort Wayne, Indiana, July 30, 1912
At 18% alcohol, this remedy must have packed a punch. In 1912, the Root Juice Medicine Company applied to register this trademark in Tennessee — three years after statewide prohibition had gone into effect. Some medicines, including those containing alcohol, were exempt from the ban on alcohol.

AT ISSUE: Governor needs to follow through and get a policy in place.
There is little dispute that the energy needs of New York City are increasing. There is, however, major dispute over a plan to meet those needs by cutting an ugly swath through Upstate New York.
That problem – and future controversies – can best be addressed by New York state developing a comprehensive energy policy that doesn't help one part of the BE INVOLVED The development of the comprehensive energy plan is being directed by the State Energy Planning Board.
Part of the process includes input from the public.
You may make comments online by accessing the Web site at www.nysenergyplan.com/process.html.
You also can mail comments before July 8 to: SEP Comments, New York State Research and Development Authority, 17 Columbia Circle, Albany, NY 12203-6399.
A draft plan is scheduled to be released by March 31, 2009, followed by a series of statewide public hearings on that plan during April and May 2009.
The public can comment on the plan by May 15, 2009, with a final energy plan due one year from now — June 30, 2009. state at the expense of another.
It was just two years ago that New York Regional Interconnect proposed building a 1,200-megawatt power line from Marcy to Orange County to meet growing energy needs downstate. Locally, the line would run through communities including South Utica, the town of New Hartford, Clayville, Cassville and Waterville.
The battle has been fierce. NYRI has spent millions of dollars so far and is likely to spend much more to secure approval. It's most recent application was deemed insufficient again by the state's Public Service Commission.
A comprehensive energy policy could alleviate such battles. That's the idea behind Gov. David Paterson's executive order issued in April, whereby he directed the creation of a State Energy Plan "to determine (the state's) future energy needs and facilitate a deliberate, efficient and cost-effective means of meeting those needs."
The plan will be crafted by an Energy Planning Board, which will study things ranging from costs, continued reliance on imported fuels, aging energy infrastructure and climate change as they relate to future needs. The panel will then make recommendations that will assure New Yorkers be provided with reliable, economical and clean energy sources.
An energy policy is overdue. The old one expired Jan. 1, 2003, and lack of a policy is one reason why our community now faces the NYRI threat. Paul DeCotis, state deputy secretary for energy and the chairman of the new planning board, has said any future policy would not have a direct effect on NYRI's proposal. But as Mike Steiger of the Upstate New York Citizens Alliance says, an energy policy will provide a plan so that another NYRI doesn't come along after this.
In the wider scheme of things, a firm energy policy that makes sure steps are taken to address this state's future energy needs will help all the people of the state. Gov. Paterson has initiated the plan. Now he needs to follow through.

Some of the most commonly found types of resto druids are:
- Leveling
- PvP
- 25-man raid-healers
- 10-man healers
- Non-raiders
- Leveling druids will not have nourish, might not have lifebloom, and will be lacking many of the deeper-tier talents that a level 80 druid relies upon. Their playstyle and focus as healers can vary greatly. True leveling tree-druid healers usually rely heavily on grouping with friends to do quests and dungeons, or else they are speccing also into feral or balance for soloability.
- In PvP, a druid must account for resilience and put far greater focus on their own survivability, as well as terrain usage, roots, and cyclones. Any casted spell they use leaves them open to interrupts. They tend to use lifebloom quite a bit more than raiding restos do in WotLK, as well.
- 25-man raiding restos will most commonly find themselves in the role of pure raid-healers. Among 25 people in a raid, there will be (usually) 5-6 total healers, and among those healers will be some who designate themselves as tank-heals, thus diminishing the importance of the tanks from the druids' leafy-healy attention. Raid-healing druids in raids this large may spend their entire time casting nothing but rejuv and wild growth (in 3.2): HoTs with little use for crit, and only enough haste to reach a capped 1-second GCD. Swiftmend/NS+HT will see backup use in emergencies, some lifebloom may be spread, and some may decide to keep regrowths on the tanks as an extra buffer, but these spells see far less focus than the rejuv/WG raid-healing. Any talents, glyphs, or set bonuses relating to WG and Rejuv are the whole world to these druids.
- At the same time, there are some 25-man tank-healing druids, who churn out glyphed-HT or spam nourishes (buffed on HoTs) in mimicry of classes that are more traditional tank healers (it has been equated to Flash of Light spam) around their more WotLK-standard use of WG. They may choose this style out of liking that type of healing, or they may be forced to it by what other healers their guild has, in cases where a guild runs heavy on other raid-healers. I am less familiar with this variety, but know they exist, and have seen one in action to great effect.
- 10-man raiding restos, along with other 10-man healers, must help heal the tanks as well as the raid. I am one of these. These can vary quite a bit depending on who they are co-healing with, but overall must be far more flexible than a pure raid-healer. In progressive guilds, there will often be only 2 healers in a 10-man group, with a 3rd available through dual-spec from among the other raiders for encounters that require it. These druids, like the 25-man raid-healers, will make heavy use (in 3.2) of WG and rejuv, but they also turn regularly to other spells in their books: regrowth for an extra HoT and nourish-booster, swiftmend for its quick life-saving capacity on targets that have rejuv/regrowth, NS+HT in a dire emergency, nourish for its quick cast that is boosted by HoTs stacked upon the tank as well as for use when swiftmend is on cooldown, and lifebloom stacks that the druid must decide to let bloom or roll on the tank. These druids place greater value on crit than a pure raid-healer, and will often have talents like living seed as an additional buffer when healing tanks and dealing with heavier damage. This healing style can also be found among a few 25-man raiding guilds.
- Non-raiding restos, or max-level druids who group with friends or pug in 5-mans, tend to be similar to the 10-man raider variety, though they may find Tranquility to still be useful as they are usually in the same party as their targets.
- I'm sure there are some variant saplings out there forging ahead with a different style, as well!
When reading anything about what sorts of stats you, as a resto druid, are "supposed" to have, take a moment to consider for yourself what sort of role you play as a healer. Many raid-healing druids will have little use for crit. Other druids who need to tank-heal around the cooldowns of swiftmend and NS will still rely on a balance of haste and crit. These differences will be further refined around your set bonuses, and will impact your glyph selection, spell selection, and stat preferences... as well as how hurtful or beneficial any future set bonuses, glyphs, or spell changes may be!
You can read more about keeping an open mind as a raider here.
As an aside, I made little pixel tree...

So you've been reading about detoxing, cleansing and think your body might be telling you it needs assistance in detoxifying. You've tried a few detox tricks, including a couple super detox drinks, but it's Spring (or Fall) and you're in the mood for a deeper internal cleanse.
But you've never cleansed before! A little apprehensive, you want a safe, gentle and natural cleanse without trying the expensive cleansing programs currently on the market.
The following is such a cleanse based on my research in this area over the last few years. However, I highly recommend printing this out and consulting your doctor first as any cleanse (no matter how natural) may catalyze certain health conditions.
Step 1: Reduce Your Exposure to Toxins
This is probably the hardest step because you can't possibly control every toxin you come in contact with (unless you want to live in a plastic bubble for a month). Try to plan for your cleanse, though. For instance, limit unnecessary downtown travels and walk the back streets rather than the main so you can avoid as many exhaust fumes as possible. If you have access to a swimming pool, choose other exercise during your cleanse to avoid chlorine.
Here is a fairly complete list:
- Wean out stimulants (alcohol, cigarette smoke and white sugar) – try to cut out coffee but if you can't, drink organic.
- Eat organic foods when possible – wash thoroughly to remove pesticides & contaminants (use soap or hydrogen peroxide).
- Eat all natural foods – come on, you can resist junk food for one month. No chips, pop, deep-fried foods (basically any take out) – check all ingredients and if you can't pronounce it, it ain't natural.
- Reduce red meat intake (its bi-product is poisonous ammonia) to one palm-sized serving once a week – try lamb.
- Drink distilled water.
- Use natural or eco-friendly products – if you can eat the ingredients, the products are safe to use.
Step 2: Flush Toxins Out
Your body will naturally detoxify but try the following to accelerate the process (although keep in mind, the faster you release toxins, the more intense the detox side-effects – i.e. headaches, soreness, grumpiness, etc.):
- Drink lots of herbal teas (like mint and peppermint to aid digestion, dandelion to increase bile flow, milk thistle for liver detox and chamomile to help reduce anxiety).
- Drink lots of distilled water. I know, this is total repetition but it's super important; distilled to reduce toxins and the water to flush.
- Increase your complex carbs or veggies to about 65% of your diet. Round off your meals to approx. 25% protein & 10% healthy fats (from nuts, olive and flax seed oils, etc.)
- Use chlorella supplements to cleanse your blood.
- Take milk thistle supplements to cleanse the liver (but if you do, you don't need the tea).
- Eat detox-friendly and easy to digest foods (like garlic, onions, prunes, lemons, naturally fermented sauerkraut, green leaves – especially spinach, cabbage, kale, swiss chard & collards – papaya, pineapple, berries, etc.)
- Exercise (cardio & strength-training) – aim for 4-6 times a week, alternating between mild, moderate and intense variations depending on your energy level.
- Hot, steamy baths or saunas – once a week.
- Stretch – integral for several reasons: it reduces muscle fatigue and soreness that is caused by the lactic acid (metabolic waste) released by muscle exertion; it also increases oxygen and blood flow, and decreases stress.
- Drink green juices rich in detox-friendly foods – use as meal replacements.
- Drink smoothies for breakfast – check out the "yummy recipes" category here on Live Lighter!
- Do a partial fast once a week – try going without food from dinner Saturday until dinner on Sunday – or whenever works for you. Adjust your activity level on these days to compensate for the lack of food energy, like take leisurely walks, do gentle exercises, etc.
Step 3: Repair and Heal
There are different methods, at varying strengths, of repairing and healing your body. A Naturopathic Doctor is the best resource for your individual needs. However, for the first-timer, try:
- Aloe vera juice – known to be one of the friendliest methods for intestinal repair.
- Increase your soluble fiber intake (like psyllium fiber and foods, such as several types of beans, carrots, broccoli and Brussels sprouts)
- Meditate – try for everyday, either in the morning or night, and as long as you can. Start with 10 minutes and practice till you're up to one half hour.
- Sleep – the best way to find your optimal amount of sleep is to get up at the same time every morning and go to bed when you're tired. Because you've limited your stimulants, your natural sleep rhythms should emerge.
Step 4: Replenish
Not only does cleansing get rid of toxins and bad bacteria, it unfortunately also flushes out the good bacteria that live in our guts. These probiotics are essential for proper digestion. It is important to rebalance the gut flora ratio of beneficial vs. harmful bacteria (85% – 15%):
- Consume probiotics – eat naturally fermented foods like yogurt, kefir and sauerkraut.
- Take acidophilus tablets (extra-strength).
- Eat foods known to have prebiotics – unrefined wheat and barley, raw oats, soybeans, leek, asparagus, artichokes, etc.
Step 5: After Cleanse
Resist returning to a highly toxic lifestyle. Reserve stimulating substances for special occasions and incorporate as many of the above cleansing methods into your daily lifestyle habits as possible.
Duration and Tips: Try this gentle cleanse for one month, although doing it for longer will give you better results. However, we all know it's hard to do anything perfectly the first time around so be kind to yourself and simply do your best. Use the experience from this cleanse to better prepare for next season's cleanse, identifying challenges so you can figure out ways around them.
Additional Tips:
Cleansing should be an experience to look forward to and if you feel increasing distress as your cleanse date nears, you're not ready for it yet. If you feel as if you're denying yourself true pleasure, then you will create stress – which actually inhibits detoxification! You'll know you're ready for a cleanse when life has become too much of a burden. Then you'll be motivated to lighten your load – starting with the toxins in your body so that you can live lighter in body, mind and soul.
Plan your cleanse. Reduce your commitments for the cleanse duration and guard against the demands of others. Plan your activity (be flexible when necessary, of course) as well as your meals a week in advance. Use the Internet to find recipes, Saturday to get groceries, and Sunday to prepare your lunches and slice your veggies for convenience. Oh, ya, throwing on some tunes and dancing around the kitchen makes this food prep time super fun.

DOVER — Durham's "Jack the Snipper," the sole suspect in a string of burglaries in 2003 and 2004 where a man "snipped" off or removed the clothing of sleeping women after breaking into their Durham apartments, was arrested Tuesday by Dover police in connection with an indecent exposure incident that occurred Sunday at the Bed, Bath & Beyond at 875 Central Avenue.
Jeffrey Gelinas, 37, of 452 Pine Street #102, Manchester, is scheduled to appear in court this morning following his Tuesday afternoon arrest after he allegedly exposed his genitals to an 11-year-old girl in the home goods store who was shopping with her mother. Gelinas reportedly fled the store without paying for merchandise as soon as the girl got her mother's attention and reported the incident.
Gelinas refused bail on Tuesday and is being held at the Strafford County House of Corrections.
After posting the surveillance footage with various news media, several leads came forward that Dover police were able to follow. The department obtained an arrest warrant and police arrested Gelinas on Elm Street in Manchester at about 3:20 p.m. Tuesday without incident.
Lt. Brant Dolleman said the Dover Police Department appreciates the help received from the Durham Police Department in solving this case.
"It was very concerning," he said of the indecent exposure incident. "Not just for the victim and victim's family, but for the community."
A similar sentiment and statement regarding Gelinas' actions was shared with the Union Leader by Durham Police Chief David Kurz in an article printed Feb. 3, 2012 when he said "the reality of it was this was a series of acts that, I wouldn't want to say paralyzed the community, but was incredibly unsettling for the community."
Between 2003 and 2004, Gelinas was the only suspect in a series of reports that alleged a burglar had gained entrance into Durham apartments and cut clothing off women while they slept.
The suspect in those cases had cut off and/or removed clothing from women while sleeping in the privacy of their own apartments. Gelinas was ultimately arrested after a woman reported to police that she had woken to a man trying to remove a screen from her window.
He was the primary suspect in eight other burglaries, though he pleaded guilty to just a single felony burglary charge in 2004 and was sentenced to 1� to 8 years in state prison.
Glinas was released on parole in April of 2012 after appearing before the adult parole board in February of that year.
He is scheduled to be arraigned in Dover Circuit Court at 10:45 a.m. today.

After having spent four years at Vatel Lyon, Julie Tondeur decided to end her schooling with the MBA Specialization of Luxury Goods Management at Vatel Paris.
As soon as she graduated, she was hired as the Hotel Rosewood's Guest Relations Officer, one of the most beautiful 5-star hotels in England.
From check-in to check-out, in my job I transform our guests' stays into unforgettable experiences and I create, and of course maintain, a relationship of trust between us and our guests.
In January, 2016, I was appointed to be our department's trainer, which means I also have the following missions:
- completely training our new employees and
- setting up role playing games, quizzes, etc.
I'm also a Room Controller, when needed. This consists in:
- preparing the check-ins for our guests
- attributing rooms to them and
- making sure that everything they've requested is there.
Innate qualities and skills to be acquired
"The hospitality industry is a field where passion and exigency are required, and this is especially true in the luxury brand sector. These are qualities that can't be learned, they have to be innate, just like the sense of serving others, which means being a good listener, understanding and even anticipating what others would like.
After that, there are skills that must be acquired, and then honed, and those are things that Vatel teaches us like autonomy, versatility and taking initiatives. A hotel with 306 rooms like the Rosewood requires a lot of reactivity and quick decision-making!
The hospitality industry is a field that requires a lot of personal commitment but in return, it's one that provides a huge amount of satisfaction and where you meet so many fantastic people." Julie Tondeur

If you have been paying attention *throws a board duster at you* then you may have noticed that MeMeMe Cosmetics is having a packaging and product overhaul!
And it's a very good make over – previous to this, MeMeMe was a brand I'd rarely pay attention to but now, it feels more chic, more grown up.
They have no launched a new range of eyeshadows! Let's take a look!
The Eye Inspire Catwalk Quad Collections cost £6.50 and consists of 5 colour combinations.
Drama, Electric, Fire, Goddess and Ocean:
So far I like the look of the colour combinations (they are quite dramatic and colourful!) but baked shadows are hit and miss for me. The very best baked shadows I find are gorgeous, the rubbish ones are crumbly and unpigmented. These quads can also be used wet.
Eye Inspire Classic Trios cost £5.50 each and there are 5 combinations:
The trios are supposed to be more wearable and consist of 'essential' colours.
Eye Inspire Mono Eyeshadows are £4.50 each and there are 10 shades:
As far as the new packaging goes, I like it – simple black is usually a good way to go rather than trying to do something too fancy.
Here are the two quads I have – reminds me of MAC:
In terms of pigmentation I think these are good – I'm not saying brilliant BUT, the intensity is much better when using this product with a wet applicator (which I'd recommend for a strong colour).
They aren't too flaky like some baked shadows can be.
I also have desire eyes and a mono – don't know where the photo of the product went but here are the swatches. Once again, the texture is smooth and it's medium pigmented with a subtle shimmer to it. It's certainly wearable without being too metallic:
Of all three types of shadow, I think the mono was the softest and most pigmented! But this could change depending on the shade you are using. Also, I personally use monos but find them less practical than a palette with a few shades in…the trio and quad represent better value overall.
Can I just say the MeMeMe website is great for swatches? Click on any colour block and a real photo of the product appears and it's a pretty damn accurate image too. Good!
etc. All make up companies should do this and give us PROPER images of the product, not cracked smooshed eyeshadows, or swipes or blocks of colours.
Check out the MeMeMe eyeshadow range here and you can also buy the products in Superdrug.

Poverty Alleviation and Human Development China 1997
This report summarizes the history and current status of sustainable human development in China, focus attention on the outstanding challenges to be overcome, and make broad policy recommendations for tackling them. Special attention is given to the theme of poverty reduction, which was the annual theme of the 1997 global HDR. Because this is the first NHDR undertaken for China, it also tries to establish a baseline for future such efforts by discussing in some detail a wide spectrum of human development issues, including the distribution of income, health care, education and nutrition, pupulation and migration, status of women, employment, social security provision and the state of natural environment. There are many casual inter-connections among these various issues, which the report tries to highlight.

In what is hopefully the last graphic installment of our weekly mobile charts, the classic (if a platform that's only a few years old can have a classic) Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor skitters to the top of the free charts, and a pair of big budget console game tie-ins make paid appearances.
Need for Speed and Borderlands in the iPad game charts. How surreal. Plants Vs. Zombies' big Halloween push seems to have paid off, granting the popular defense game another shot at the top of the charts. And hey, isn't that the new paid version of Wreck-It Ralph up there, with three different types of games packed into one? Nifty!
So go ahead and download all the free games and use the money you save to buy all the paid ones. That's my winning strategy. It's also why I am always broke.

Pop singer Justin Bieber was barely into his teens when he released his platinum-selling debut, My World, and became one of 2009's youngest success stories. An Ontario native, Bieber had placed second in a local singing competition two years prior and began posting his performances on YouTube. The videos caught the attention of Scooter Braun, a talent agent and former So So Def marketing executive, who helped Bieber land an impromptu audition with the R&B star Usher. Impressed by what he saw, Usher -- along with Island/Def Jam chairman L.A. Reid -- quickly signed the 15-year-old Bieber to a recording contract.
Bieber released his first single, "One Time," in May 2009. Supported by a popular video that featured an appearance by Usher, "One Time" went platinum in both Canada and America, a feat that was replicated later that year with the release of My World. The disc was technically an EP, featuring only seven songs, but it reached number six on the Billboard 200 album chart and sold over a million copies. Less than a year after his debut, Bieber returned with the "second half" of My World, a ten-song release titled My World 2.0. Further demonstrating his and his management's marketing power, over 8,000 fans who pre-ordered My World 2.0 had their head shots used in a photo mosaic (formed to look like a portrait of Bieber) that was displayed on the back side of the disc's booklet. The release topped the Billboard 200. A few weeks later, a combination of My World and My World 2.0, titled My Worlds, appeared in some territories.
By the end of 2010, Bieber issued My Worlds Acoustic, a set featuring acoustic versions of nine songs off the My World discs, as well as one new song. The following February, the 3-D documentary Never Say Never was released to theaters. The seven-track Never Say Never: The Remixes, released just days after the film, maintained the flow of Bieber product, and featured appearances from the likes of Kanye West, Usher, and Miley Cyrus. Just in time for Christmas 2011 came the holiday-themed Under the Mistletoe, complete with several celebrity guest duets and an original song, "Mistletoe," for the first single, which entered the Holiday Songs chart at number two. In 2012, Bieber returned with his sophomore studio effort, Believe. Featuring the single "Boyfriend," the album also included guest appearances from Ludacris, Nicki Minaj, Drake, and others. It became his fourth number one album. Believe Acoustic, a sequel to My Worlds Acoustic, followed in 2013. ~ Matt Collar & Andy Kellman, Rovi

If the world's farmers are to grow enough food to feed 9 billion people by the year 2050, they'd better get a move on.
A study released at the World Food Prize's Borlaug Dialogue in Des Moines, Iowa, today Oct. 13) says the growth rate of agricultural productivity is lagging behind that needed to feed an additional 3 billion people.
The Global Harvest Initiative's 2010 GAP Report, developed with the Farm Foundation and USDA's Economic Research Service, was designed to gauge the pace of global agricultural productivity growth against future needs for food.
Doubling agricultural output to meet global demand by 2050 will require and annual average growth of at least 1.75 percent in total factor productivity, according to Neil Conklin, president of the Farm Foundation and author of the report. USDA economists estimate global agricultural TFP growth averaged 1.4 percent per year between 2000 and 2007.
Closing the gap
"To close the gap without additional land and resources, we must increase the rate of productivity growth an average an average of 25 percent more per year over the next 40 years," said Conklin. "And, productivity will need to grow faster than that during the next two decades, when the population will be increasing more rapidly than when it levels off around 2050."
The study was released during one of the numerous side events held with the Borlaug Dialogue, which is conducted annually in conjunction with the World Food Prize, which the late Dr. Norman Borlaug founded 24 years ago to recognize individuals who have helped feed an increasingly hungry world.
Former USDA Chief Economist Bill Lesher, executive director of Global Harvest Initiative, emceed a lunch in which the results of the GAP Report were presented to editors and representatives of governmental and food groups.
Lesher noted that pinning down numbers on world food production and population demographics is a "very hard job to do."
9 billion by 2050?
Some experts say world food production must be doubled in the next 40 years because the world's population could increase from the current 6 billion to 9 billion. Others say those numbers are inflated or too conservative.
"Maybe it's an 85 percent increase (rather than 100 percent) or maybe 115 percent," Lesher said. "Whatever it is it's a very large number to meet. It will take all of us – farmers, input suppliers, governments, NGOs working together to make this happen. If we don't, we face the prospect of 2 billion to 3 billion starving people.
"We need to do more with less and we must start implementing measures and policies that increase productivity today," he said. "A ramp up of this order is achievable, as the public and private sectors, demonstrated during the green revolution."
Lesher and Conklin were joined by Keith Fuglie, branch chief for Resource, Environmental and Science Policy in the Resource and Rural Economics Division of USDA ARS, who discussed the development of the study.
Total factor productivity
"Assessing total factor productivity – the amount of output per unit of total factors, or inputs, used for production – for the entire global agricultural sector provides a more comprehensive picture of changes in resource requirements to produce farm commodities," said Fuglie. "A 1 percent increase in TFP, for example, means that 1 percent fewer agricultural resources are required to produce a given bundle of crop and livestock outputs."
While economists have developed estimates of agricultural TFP for most industrialized nations, these measures have only recently become available for major developing countries, he said. ERS has combined country-specific studies together with additional analysis of productivity growth in other regions to construct a global measure of agricultural TFP growth since 1961.
This year's three-day event is expected to draw 1,100 participants from 65 countries to downtown Des Moines.

Michael Vick has stayed healthy enough to start every game this season for the Philadelphia Eagles, but whispers about his job security aren't going away.
Andy Reid is open to a quarterback change, but NFL.com and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Monday that the Eagles coach isn't ready to commit to a quarterback switch because he doesn't view Vick as the team's lone problem, according to two sources inside the organization. Both sources said they wouldn't be surprised if Vick is benched.
Vick is 10-10 as the Eagles' starter over the past two seasons. His sensational play in 2010 made him the NFL Comeback Player of the Year, but Vick has struggled with durability and consistency since signing a six-year, $100 million contract before last season.
The 32-year-old passer flubbed two audibles in Sunday's 30-17 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, and Reid hasn't seen his quarterback improve on last season's miscues. Vick's 1,823 passing yards includes nine touchdowns, eight interceptions and too many lost opportunities during the Eagles' 3-4 start.
An earlier report out of Philadelphia suggested Reid and his staff were planning to meet Monday and "likely" promote rookie Nick Foles to starter.
"Obviously, he's thinking about making a change at the quarterback position," Vick told NFL Network's Jeff Darlington. "The thing I do know is that I'm giving us every opportunity to win. I'm trying my hardest. Some things don't go right when I want them to. Some things do. So if that's the decision that (Reid) wants to make, then I support it."
Maybe not today, but change in Philadelphia feels inevitable.

Sebastian Musial was born and raised in Wroclaw (Poland), a city founded some 1000 years ago. Surrounded by medieval churches and modern buildings, Sebastian learned to find the extraordinary in the everyday world. When he was about to enter high school, he got his very own camera. A used Russian Zenit may not have been state of the art, but it allowed Sebastian to pursue his fascination with photography and share what he saw with others. Shortly after turning sixteen, Sebastian and his family moved to Chicago. Even before the big move, Sebastian's parents instilled in him the love of travel. After many family trips to various National Parks, he was ready to take the world on his own. After his sophomore year in college, he took his latest camera and ventured out on a 30 day camping trip around Spain and Portugal, with his teenage sister in tow. There was no stopping him now and he has since brought his images back from 6 continents. Stay tuned for when he gets to photograph the 7th! It's been a long time since Sebastian's first Russian camera. Nowadays, his talents are amplified by high quality equipment to produce one of a kind prints. In addition to architecture photography, Sebastian's interest include nature and wild life, macro, as well as portraits. His art can be purchased directly from his online gallery at www.sebastianmusial.com. The images can be printed on various fine art papers, canvas, and acrylic.

Mr. Speaker, I know the member wants to talk about fisheries, and we are on opposite ends of the country. The east coast has slightly different issues than the west coast around fisheries, but we have a common interest in preserving our fisheries.
The member will be well aware of the fact that on the west coast the Fraser River Sockeye run this year was absolutely decimated. The member for Sackville—Eastern Shore has consistently called for investments in conservation, in enforcements and in habitat restoration.
Could the member talk a bit about what he sees as being aspects of protecting our fisheries, both on the east and west, that were absent from the budget implementation act?

The Sony Ericsson W810 offers the latest in mobile multi-media functionality by taking advantage of high speed data downloads listen to hours of music, capture and send high-resolution mega pixel images, access the Internet and stay connected through instant messaging or email. The latest Walkman phone comes with a 512MB removable Memory Stick, which can be upgraded to 2GB currently available in retail outlets, allowing consumers to store a wealth of music tracks, photos, video and other multimedia files on the phone.
Extending the highly acclaimed Sony Ericsson Walkman phone line-up, the stylish black with orange trim W810 advances the mobile music experience by seamlessly blending together entertainment and advanced mobile phone technology to offer a truly credible digital music experience supporting industry standard MP3 and AAC music file formats. The phone comes complete with quality HPM-70 stereo headphones which feature a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack for personal customization.
Consumers can easily and quickly load music to the phone either uploading their legacy CD collection onto the W810 from a PC via USB 2.0 using the provided Disc2Phone music management software, or by purchasing new music from operator specific over-the-air download services. This enclosed PC software makes it easy to sort, browse and transfer files on the 512 MB Memory Stick PRO Duo? which provides capacity for approximately 150 music tracks ?the equivalent of around 15 full length CDs.
Enjoying music on the Sony Ericsson W810 Walkman phone is extremely simple because a dedicated Walkman button quickly pulls up the music menu regardless of what other application on the phone is in use. Positioned just below the phones screen you can find all the most common music controls needed (Play/Pause/Stop/Skip Track/Volume) allowing users to move easily between tracks or adjust the volume on the speaker or headphones. Engaging Mega Bass?improves the sound experience when listening to music through the external speaker or the high quality headphones provided.
Since the launch of the W800 flagship Walkman phone in August last year, consumers across the world have been embracing the concept of the mobile phone as a credible digital music player, and enjoying high quality music anywhere, anytime without having to carry a dedicated music device. Sony Ericssons Walkman phones are redefining how consumers listen and enjoy music, and the W810 strengthens our music phone line-up with the addition of dedicated music buttons on the front of the phone and an expanded choice of how users upload music to the phone?said Miles Flint, president for Sony Ericsson.
The Sony Ericsson W810 is also a great imaging device enabling users to capture great still pictures and video featuring an integrated high-quality 2 mega pixel, auto-focus camera with photo light, and easily recognisable digital still camera interface.
As with other members of the Walkman phone family, music automatically pauses when an incoming call is received and begins playing again when the call ends. The phone can also operate in a music-only mode for those occasions when the phone function must be disengaged, such as during air travel.
The W810 is equipped with EDGE Class 10 technology, to allow quick and easy data transfers and Internet access, and Bluetooth?Wireless technology for connectivity with Bluetooth handsfree headsets and sharing data with other Bluetooth-enabled devices.
The Sony Ericsson W810 is a Quad-band EDGE phone available in Satin Black and starts shipping globally Q1 2006

Brewers COO: Record Opening Day payroll expected
Schlesinger talks of figure surpassing $100 million for just second time
MILWAUKEE -- The Brewers still have more than six weeks to set a 25-man roster for Opening Day, but chief operating officer Rick Schlesinger is already certain of one thing: This will be the most expensive team in franchise history.
Without specifying the team's own internal projection, which skews higher than some outside sources because it accounts for in-season callups, incentives, insurance and other costs, Schlesinger said he expects the Brewers' 2014 Opening Day payroll to top the record set in 2012, when the Brewers were coming off of a National League Central Division championship. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's estimate at the start of that season was $101.2 million, which until now represents the only nine-figure payroll in Brewers history.
"No matter how you measure it, and there are a lot of different ways to measure it, I can tell you that it's going to be north of $100 million," Schlesinger said.
After their costly 2012, the Brewers' payroll dropped significantly in 2013, to around $88 million, when some big salaries came off the books, including Zack Greinke, Randy Wolf, Shaun Marcum and Francisco Rodriguez. Now the Brewers are pushing higher again, with the biggest expenditure going to free-agent acquisition Matt Garza, who will count for at least $10.5 million in the first season of his four-year, $50 million contract. Garza's true 2014 salary is actually $12.5 million, with another $1 million available in incentives, but $2 million is deferred each year without interest.
Other players will account for a bigger chunk of payroll dollars per their current contracts, including outfielder Ryan Braun ($10 million salary plus a $2.5 million portion of the signing bonus he's still due), pitchers Yovani Gallardo ($11.25 million) and Kyle Lohse ($11 million), second baseman Rickie Weeks ($11 million), third baseman Aramis Ramirez (who only accounts for $10 million because another $6 million is deferred) and center fielder Carlos Gomez ($7 million).
Those seven players alone will account for $73.25 million in 2014 payroll.
Then add Rodriguez, who is returning for $3.25 million, plus pitchers Marco Estrada ($3.325 million) and Tom Gorzelanny ($2.8 million), catcher Jonathan Lucroy ($2.3 million) and first baseman Mark Reynolds ($2 million, assuming he makes the team), and the Brewers are just shy of $87 million for 12 players -- not quite half of the 25-man Opening Day roster.
"The way I look at it, you look at the growth of the industry in general, and how we're doing in revenues locally, and it makes sense," Schlesinger said. "Mark [Attanasio, the Brewers' principal owner] has always said, 'Listen, I'm going to take every cent I can and invest it back into the stadium and invest it back in the players.' The fans over the year have supported us, the national television dollars are increasing, the health of the game from a revenue perspective has never been greater, so it's only natural and fitting that we use those monies to invest in our product.
"I think fans have a correct instinct that, yes, payroll should be going up. With the way our team is constituted, we should have a payroll that stretches us. I don't want to have a payroll where it's very comfortable that, no matter what happens, we're going to have a positive income number. I want us to be challenged as a business … and we go for it, and take risks and stretch ourselves from a financial perspective in a rational way. That's what our fans want. I want to be in that position, to stretch ourselves financially so we have a chance to win a World Series."

Humane Farming Association (HFA)
June 2012
Tell your Senator to OPPOSE Egg Products Inspection Act of 2012 (H.R. 3798 and S.B. 3239). This outrageous legislation must be stopped because it would decriminalize animal cruelty and establish egg factory cages as a national standard that could never be challenged or changed by state law or public vote. We need you to please contact your Senators and Representative TODAY in order to stop this dangerous bill.
Sign an online petition
And/or better yet, make direct contact:
Contact your U.S. Senators
Contact your U.S. Representative
The position of the Humane Farming Association and other responsible activists and organizations remains clear:
This Rotten Egg Bill is also known as the Egg Products Inspection Act of 2012 (H.R. 3798) that would seal the fate of millions of laying hens, keeping them locked in factory farm cages forever.
This outrageous legislation would decriminalize animal cruelty and establish egg factory cages as a national standard that could never be challenged or changed by state law or public vote. We need you to please contact your representatives today in order to stop this dangerous bill.
Photos of "Colony" Cages by Jayme Fraser / The Oregonians
Substituting one cruel cage for another, the entire point of the egg industry's legislation is to:
This destructive measure is being sponsored by the United Egg Producers (UEP) the egg factory trade association that is currently facing charges of alleged illegal price fixing other industry organizations, and a handful of collaborators.
Proponents claim that this legislation would eventually result in "progress" for laying hens. Just the opposite is true. In reality, the egg industry merely agreed to slowly at the glacial pace of 18 years continue the meager changes in battery cage conditions that are already occurring due to state laws and public pressure.
In short, the Rotten Egg Bill (H.R. 3798) would keep hens forever suffering
in small cages in which they could never engage in the many natural
behaviors essential for their most basic health and well being.
The position of the Humane Farming Association and other responsible activists and organizations remains clear:
Statement from United Poultry Concerns (UPC):
It is incorrect to say that the proposed federal legislation would eliminate
battery cages. Batteries consist of rows and tiers of identical units; in
this case the units are cages. The proposed legislation will enshrine
battery cages, not eliminate them. Egg-laying hens will be locked inside
windowless buildings, crammed in cages stacked from the floor and lined up
in long rows, just as they are now. Tiny furnishings, including plastic
strips, falsely called nests, are being prettified as colonies and
enrichments. This vocabulary makes people feel good, but it is bad for
birds whose legs and wings are designed to run, walk, perch and be
physically active, not rot in cages.
After decades of humane efforts in the US and Europe to get hens out of cages, a law that ensures theyll never get out is being hailed as a victory for hens and animal rights. But it isnt. If people knew the truth of the egg industry and how hens are actually treated behind the scenes, they would be sickened. We do not need to eat their eggs to be healthy.
Karen Davis, PhD, President, United Poultry Concerns
A Veterinarians Perspective on The Rotten Egg Bill
Battery cages are the most unhealthful and distressing means of keeping hens
for egg production. Disease conditions such as cage layer fatigue and bone
fractures due to lack of exercise are major medical issues and are
associated with physical pain and suffering.
These are due largely to a lack of meaningful exercise such as flying and running. Depriving hens of important behaviors such as dust bathing or perching well above floor level, a quiet place to lay eggs, proper and adequate exercise, and the opportunity to form social groups of their choosing all have a major negative impact on their quality of life.
The increase in cage size dictated by the proposed legislation, unfortunately, will have no meaningful positive impact on these issues. Hens will still not be able to get proper exercise, they still will be too crowded to even properly stretch their wings, perches will be at an ineffectual height, and nest boxes will not be conducive to the needs for laying eggs.
What the proposed legislation will do, however, is keep the confinement of hens in cages legal, something that no humane-minded individual should accept.
The cages defined by the legislation will in no meaningful way reduce the unimaginable suffering endured by the hens but will be used by the industry as a means of defending this indefensible practice.
Even if this legislation passes without amendments, the situation would be worse for the hens because it would be setting a disastrous precedent; battery cages would be codified in federal law.
I urge people not to support this legislation: it is intolerable for the hens and will be obstructive to getting any meaningful reform in the future. The only tolerable step in the right direction is to insist on getting rid of the cages entirely.

Anastasia was born in 1979, at the age of ten.She's been around ever since, and she's only thirteen now. I never get tired of writing about her and her family. Katherine Krupnik, her mother, reminds me of myself.
Sam was born when Anastasia was ten, and for a long time he existed only in the books about her. But kids liked him. Maybe he reminded them of their own little brothers. So at the request of young readers, I gave Sam his own series.
Caroline and J.P. Tate are so much like real kids in real families: a bickering sister-and-brother pair, with a long-suffering single mom. They live in New York City, but in one book they spend a summer with their dad in Iowa. In truth, the Tates could exist anywhere.
Mrs. Pidgeon's second grade has one student who is, shall we say, somewhat unusual. New to the school in October, by Thanksgiving she has completely entranced the entire class. And there's a whole school year yet to come
Each of these is an all-by-itself book, not part of a series. They take you from Denmark to West Virginia to Boston, - and many other places - and three of them come from my own life. (See if you can figure out which three!)
Thirteen-year-old Meg envies her sister Molly's beauty and popularity, and these feelings make it difficult for her to cope with Molly's illness and death.
Anastasia finds herself in another embarrassing mess when she accidentally puts the bag of her dog's droppings instead of her mother's packages in the mailbox, and things get worse when the police investigate the mailbox.
Natalie Armstrong, an attractive, happy teenager about to enter college, sets out to discover the parents who gave her up at infancy.
When her father leaves to fight in World War II, Elizabeth goes with her mother and sister to her grandfather's house, where she learns to face up to the always puzzling and often cruel realities of the adult world.
In Boston's famous Public Garden, fourteen-year-old Enid and her four-year-old pal, Tom Terrific, learn lots about life from new friendships with a bag lady and a saxophone player.
Eleven-year-old Louise Cunningham watches with wonder as a visit from her unusual uncle gives her ordinary small town a glow of something mysterious and magical.
Twelve-year-old Rabble Starkey's mother is hired by Mrs. Bigelow to look after her children while she's in the hospital. Living in that huge house, Rabble feels she's finally found a home. But soon she and her mother must question what's really best for them.
This is the story of a dog who tells his own tale. As a pup he is separated from his mother and siblings. Through it all, Keeper can't forget his long lost little sister. If only they could be together again, life would be perfect. But an old enemy is watching and waiting to make his move.

The Cybex Cloud Z i-Size features 360 degree rotation, near-flat lying position, automatic adjustable headrest and Linear Side-Impact Protection, making it one of the safest car seats on the market.
360 Degree Rotation
The 360 degree rotation mechanism available when used in conjunction with the Base Z (sold separately) allows for easy access to both the car seat and your baby, putting less strain on your back when transporting your child in and out of the car.
Near-flat lying position
Research suggests that allowing babies to sleep for long periods of time in an upright position (approximately a 40 degree angle) can have a negative impact on their breathing when compared to lying flat. The Cybex Cloud Z i-Size allows for near-flat positioning when out of the car, enabling you to provide your baby with more comfortable seating when you're out and about.
Adjustable Headrest
The Cloud Z i-Size also features an automatic adjustable headrest, which grows with your baby and delivers maximum support and comfort, allowing the sitting angle to be altered depending on their needs.
Safety Features
As with all Cybex car seats, the Cloud Z i-Size features Linear Side-Impact Protection (L.S.P) as standard, which withdraws from the backrest of the seat to provide additional impact absorption away from the head, neck and upper body of your baby in the event of a side-on collision. Coupled with the energy-absorbing shell and adjustable headrest, the Cloud Z i-Size reduces side-impact force by approximately 25%.
Please note: Images and prices shown are for the Cybex Cloud Z i-Size car seat only. Additional purchase of the Base Z is required.
- Padded Y harness
- 360 degree rotation
- Removable newborn inlay
- Tested to i-Size regulations

The Miami Heat came into tonight's match with the Chicago Bulls riding a four-game winning streak, so they certainly haven't stunk on the floor. It did stink, though, in the first quarter on the Heat bench, when someone (we're guessing Juwan Howard, given he's the only one not reacting) let a stinkbomb fly—much to his teammates' dismay. [TNT]
