GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. — Police in Coon Rapids are crediting a north metro man for quick thinking that may have saved the life of a two-year-old boy.
Mitch Keenan Heidmann was driving westbound on Main Street in Coon Rapids around 4 p.m. Saturday when his vehicle and that of another motorist became caught up in a chain reaction collision, started when the driver of a pickup slid across the center line and hit a Toyota Camry head-on.
"As I came up over the graded hill I noticed the truck was completely sideways and barreling towards our lane," Heidmann recalled Monday. He saw the Dodge Ram hit the Toyota, and then his pickup was struck. Every air bag inside went off, and Heidmann's pickup careened off the road.
Inside the Toyota was a man, a woman and two young children, all who were hurt. Heidmann climbed out the passenger side of his truck to assess the situation, and saw 37-year-old Suresh Shrimant Pujari of Lino Lakes holding his son Guatam.
Heidmann works in Golden Valley and had been trained by Golden Valley firefighters on how to perform CPR. This was his real-life final exam. Passersby on the scene laid their coats on the ground and Heidmann went to work.
"(I) proceeded to lay the kid down and I administered some small two-finger chess compressions as I was trained," Heidmann recalled. "Half a minute maybe and then the young toddler gave a big breath."
First responders took over lifesaving care once they arrived on scene. Young Guatam was rushed to Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids, and then transferred to Children's, as was his 5-year-old sister Sinchana. His mother Mamanta Patil Bovi is hospitalized in serious but stable condition at Mercy, while father Suresh Shrimant Pujari was treated and released.
While police are lauding his actions, Heidmann is taking pains to deflect the attention.
"Not looking to receive praise. If you want to consider me a hero by all means go for it," he said. "Just here doing a good deed."
If anything, Heidmann wants everyone who reads this story to take a course that teaches CPR and use of an AED. He invested around an hour of his time, and it paid off.
"You never know when you're going to be in that situation," he said. "You never think it's gonna happen to you, but if and when it does you'll know what to do, and you could potentially save a life."

I've been meeting with Alana over the past few weeks at Santa Fe in Kingston, New York. I meet regularly with people over coffee to help them with their credit and sometimes those folks are kind enough for me to blog about their experience.
Alana is a college student who is wrapping up her college degree and is in the process of studying for her exams. If you've read the previous blog posts, you'll know that her credit was mediocre – not great but not terrible. She simply doesn't have a huge amount of credit history since she is relatively young.
So far, her homework has been to pull her credit reports and get a credit card. We met again recently for a third coffee to figure out how things were going.
Alana reported that she had followed through on my advice to get a credit card as an effective way to start building credit history. She noted that right away she saw how her credit card could be a benefit or a curse, depending on how she used it. "There were times when I thought, 'I could afford this if I charged it on my credit card' but then remembered that using a credit card didn't make the purchase free. I'd still have to pay it off at some point."
Certainly her struggle is one that all credit card holders will face – the temptation to buy something on a credit card that you can't normally afford. I was so glad to hear that she thought twice before putting down her card in those situations. A credit card only delays a purchase – you still have to have the money for it eventually!
Alana also did some other homework, as well: She started the process of disputing a couple of items on her credit report that were wrong. From a account that was note hers to her name spelled wrong.
Alana's homework for this week is a little more challenging: I'm recommending that she puts together a budget for herself based on her current income. Although I don't talk a lot about budgeting and debt management (since I tend to work on the credit reporting side more often), I do strongly endorse the idea of creating and sticking to a budget to ensure that you are always able to pay your bills in full and on time, in order to build up the best credit history.
Alana tried every excuse in the book to get out of creating a budget ("it's boring", "my income isn't that much and my expenses aren't that much", and "my income might change when I get a job") but I think this is a good exercise for anyone who wants to have a positive impact on their credit.
Stay tuned for my fourth and final meeting with Alana.

WATERTOWN — For the first time since Fall 2004, Arbitron has lifted its embargo on the Persons 12+ numbers for the Watertown market. One thing that clearly hasn't changed since 2004: country music is still king in the North Country.
Froggy 97 (WFRY) was #1 back then, and is still #1 in the Fall 2008 survey. The Stephens Media Group station (which was owned by Regent the last time the numbers were public) posted a 21.1 rating.
Trailing by nearly six points is CHR station "The Border" (WBDR) with a 15.4. Froggy's sister station, rocker Z93 (WCIZ), posts a 9.8 to claim third place. We drop more than four points to find fourth-place, Stephens' news/talker WTNY.
Then it's a three-way tie straddling the U.S./Canadian border for fifth place: Community Broadcasters' WOTT and WTOJ each posted a 4.9, along with Kingston, Ontario-based K-Rock 105.7 (CIKR).
Three Clear Channel Syracuse stations managed to get enough diary mentions to show up near the bottom of the survey. B104.7 (WBBS), Hot 107.9 (WWHT) and Y94FM (WYYY) each earned 0.8 ratings points in Watertown.
It should be noted that these numbers are the only numbers Arbitron releases to the general public: Persons 12+, Monday-Friday, 6am to midnight. They are merely an "overall" view, and do not necessarily reflect the target demographic of any particular station.
Other Markets:
– Utica-Rome numbers were also released on Monday
– Syracuse numbers have been embargoed since Spring 2008
– Ithaca/Cortland numbers have been embargoed since Fall 2004

Sometimes, you come across an argument that is both offensive and compelling. This certainly applies to James Meek's sprawling essay on British energy policy for the London Review of Books.
The most offensive aspect is the spurious link he makes between Margaret Thatcher's privatisation programme and the economic policies of Adolf Hitler. In a serious piece of journalism, Godwin's Law is more usually fulfilled in the comments beneath the article.
And yet, Mr Meek does have some extremely pertinent – if uncomfortably challenging – points to make about the unintended consequences of electricity privatisation. The fact of the matter is that Britain's power sector is now dominated by French, German and Spanish companies which are either state-owned (e.g. France's EDF) or which have the status of 'national champions' i.e. integral components of a corporatist settlement (e.g. Germany's E.ON and RWE).
It wasn't meant to be ths way:
- "In Thatcherite terms EDF was a public sector mammoth that would inevitably be hunted to extinction by the hungry and agile competitors of post-privatisation countries like Britain. The laws of economics said so. And yet the opposite happened. The mammoth thrived, and Britain failed to produce new competitors, agile or otherwise."
A sure sign that things haven't gone well is just how happy the unions seem to be about it all:
- "Greg Thomson, Unison's head of strategic organisation, told me that since it crossed the Channel EDF had gone against prevailing management orthodoxy by reinstating a final salary pension scheme for workers. Unison was given seats with the CGT [a French union] in an EDF/union body, a 'European Works Council', and enough leverage over EDF management to get union recognition for previously non-union workers at a call centre in Sunderland. 'When London Electricity was privatised, we adopted a policy of returning it to public ownership, and I'm pleased to think I delivered on that,' Thomson said. 'Obviously to the wrong nation, but you can't be too picky.'"
And yet it would be a mistake to regard this outcome as a failure of market economics. Because, as Meek documents in considerable detail, what emerged from the privatisation of the electricity industry, bore little relation to a real market. What was actually created was an artificial trading system defined by a bewilderingly complex web of rules, incentives, subsidies and price controls. Unsurprisingly, this unleashed a ruthless competition not to provide value to consumers, but to game the system, run rings around the regulator and sweet talk the politicians.
This was compounded by a completely un-level playing field between British and continental energy markets:
- "…implicit in Thatcher's support for the single market was the acceptance of a single Brussels-based regulator as the ultimate arbiter of fair competition in Europe… Brussels has let the French protect EDF from competition at home, allowed EDF to borrow money at low government rates, and let it expand into the open arena of Britain."
To quote the former Labour energy minister John Battle: "'The French said they wanted to open up their markets but they never did."
The Coalition is presently embroiled in another overhaul of the energy 'market'. This should have been an opportunity to massively simplify the system – thereby fostering true competition and real transparency on costs. Instead, it looks as if this 'reform' will only create further complexity.
Will we never learn?

Banking ancestors
This guide was last updated in 2009
Exploring the lives of your banking ancestors – through economic expansion and recession – can also reveal a great deal about the society in which they lived, as Jenny Thomas explains.
Since the establishment of the Bank of England in 1694, founded primarily to pay for war in France, banks have been springing up, amalgamating and declining all over the country.
Although London was the initial focus, the idea quickly spread. Fuelled by the Industrial Revolution, the numbers of banks outside London leaped from fewer than 120 in 1784 to over 800 in 1810. Once institutions for a fortunate few, they gradually developed into an everyday feature of all of our lives.
Those of us with ancestors who worked in and ran these banks have a voyage of discovery ahead of us, not only to uncover what our particular ancestor was doing, but how the banking world was growing and developing around them, how government regulations were imposed and how the modern banking system came to be.
The nature, quality and quantity of records that may survive about our banking ancestors vary widely from bank to bank, the time period in which you are interested and the position your ancestor enjoyed within the bank. But it is definitely worth having a look at the records, and you may be surprised at the level of detail that you are able to uncover.

"Business from Arab countries has increased the stability and security of Lebanon, especially after the presidential elections," emphasised, Gedeon.
In a similar manner Berthe Barakat, director, sales and marketing, Warwick Palm Beach Hotel, stated that Syrians, Egyptians and Iraqi travellers are the address' main feeder markets.
Besides guests from the Middle East and GCC regions, Symes pinpointed that a significant demand derives from Australia and Latin American countries, particularly from Brazil, where more than 10 million of the Lebanese diaspora reside.
In addition Elie Nammour, marketing manager, Belair Travel & Tourism, noted that a large properion of customers now arrive from European and Asian destinations.
Unveiling the resort's future plans Gedeon highlighted,"We expanded our market to Iran, we doubled our sales trips to Jordan and Egypt, and we aim to target the Turkish market not to forget the Lebanese diaspora which is considered as one of our target markets especially during the summer season."
Aiming to open the road to new customers from emerging markets such as Asia and the Commonwealth of Independent States, hoteliers, tourism authorities and agents started promoting the destination to Russia, China and India, focusing on familiarisation trips, exhibitions and promotional activities through social media.
Recognising the tremendous efforts made by Lebanon's Ministry of Tourism and private stakeholders in order to diversify offering, Hartmut Grauel, general manager, Coral Beirut Al Hamra Hotel, highlighted that the resort focuses on maintaining its business relation with customers in Egypt, Turkey and Jordan, in addition to attending major exhibitions such as EMITT and Arabian Travel Market.
Meanwhile the country started introducing several innovative leisure concepts particularly appealing to European and American visitors such as the development of many guesthouses, bed and breakfasts, and boutique hotels in regions outside Beirut for those looking to escape the city buzz, but also in the heart of the capital for those wanting to explore the capital's bustle.
These concepts also turned out to be attractive for in-house visits becoming domestic escapes for the Lebanese themselves.
"Lebanon is a Middle Eastern country where every guest will find an unbeatable service and warm hospitality," exemplified Galoisy and further expanded, "In fact you are about to witness a blend of east and west cultures, a coexistence of 18 different religions, street food and fine dining cuisines, swimming and skiing at the same period of the year [….] and our cultural legacy will bring you back to the Phoenician and Roman times, thousands years back, without forgetting the breath-taking natural sceneries."
Aiming to promote cultural diversity in the Mediterranean Sea, while also connecting tourists and locals with the destination's rich Phoenician heritage, which is largely unknown, World Tourism Organization together with Lebanon's Ministry of Tourism and Council of Europe launched in 2016 The Phoenician's Route, a cultural itinerary crossing three continents, 18 Mediterranean countries and more than 80 towns of Phoenician-Punic origin and culture.
The Phoenician cities were the stopping places of a journey along the whole Mediterranean Sea through which people exchanged things but also knowledge, ideas and experiences.
In order to promote this, the itinerary promotes a network of archaeological, ethnic, anthropological, cultural and naturalistic sites, and cultural exchanges between the people and the countries of the Mediterranean.
Lebanon's Ministry of Tourism declared that this year, a new marketing approach has been adopted to promote the country as a touristic destination, by sending invitations to companies so that they come and see for themselves the capabilities the country enjoys in terms of tourism and culture.
During the first of its kind international B2B forum organised in the country with the aim to further boost leisure tourism and MICE industry, the authority launched Visit Lebanon, a one-of-a-kind project in the region that involves more than 150 international companies with high experience in tourism marketing, conferences, celebrations and travel.
The initiative attracted additional foreign tour operators, event organisers and total participants exceeded 850 professionals coming from 65 countries while the ministry noted a particularly high responsiveness from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Egypt, France, Germany and Greece among others.
Visit Lebanon's outcomes according to Horeca, one of the region's largest annual meeting places for the hospitality and foodservice industry resulted in 94 percent of hosted buyers expressing their willingness to programme Lebanon on their next destination list in the upcoming years.
In addition, Barakat highlighted, ministry of tourism, Lebanon is now working closely with the private sector, specifically with the syndicates of hotel owners, restaurants and tour operators, contributing to a serious coordination between the tourism key sectors.
"Now the idea is clear, Lebanon will be promoted as All in One Country, a country that has it all," ephasised Barakat.
The uniqueness of Lebanon lies indeed in the interlaced ties of its past history and Phoenician heritage with the modern lifestyle of a new millennium which mirrors its historical imprint and presence within the Mediterranean region.
Revealing the history of several civilisations that inhabited it, the country shows that the past can help us to understand our future.
Having realised the country's powerful potentials, Nammour, summarised "What makes Lebanon ideal is its uniqueness in offering the meaningful life platform.
However, to improve further and build on the patterns there is need for more strategic planning and attraction to foreign investment.
This is possible by producing credible policies that will increase arrivals and strengthen the climate for entrepreneurs business activities."

Plenty of tournaments going on, but no bracelets were awarded on Saturday. A November Niner has a shot today though, and we could have our first multiple bracelet winner of the 2011 WSOP. Here's the latest.
:: Event #40 ($5,000 Six-Handed NLH) – Relatively loaded final 20 lost some of its luster as Daniel Negreanu ($24,942) was eliminated right out the gate, as his AK was < A9. Other early notable eliminations included Shane "Shaniac" Schleger (17th – $31,135) and Duhamel (15th – $31,135). It got down to heads-up play before the Ten-Level RuleTM stopped the action. November Niner Matthew Jarvis returns with a math math math 3-to-1-ish chip advantage over Justin Flitz (8,645,000 to 2,345,000). Can he close it out? Ask Asia.
:: Event #41 ($1,500 Limit Hold'em Shootout) – With 10 remaining, the big lead in this one is whether Eugene Katchalov can become the first person this year to win multiple bracelets–something that has happened every WSOP for the past 57 years. Joining him at the final table include Ari Engel, Jordan Rich, a ginger, Adam Tyburski, and what the hell, Dom Denotaristefani. The Blind Guy lost his table match heads-up, just missing out at a shot at bracelet immortality. Get full results here.
:: Event #42 ($10,000 PLO) – Play stopped with surprisingly friends and family-ish 38 players–just two shy of the money. Ben Lamb, who you may or may not remember finished second in Event #31 ($3,000 PLO) last week, ended the day as big stack with 809,000. If he gets knocked out today…dare we say that he went into the day like a lion…and…out like a lamb? Ask Asia. Other more or less notables remaining include Sami "Lars Luzak" Kelopuro (728,000), Sam Stein (646,000), Mike "Timex" McDonald (397,000), Max "The Italian Pirate is the Worst Nickname in Poker" Pescatori (201,000), Russian cashing machine Alex Kravchenko (152,000), and the insufferably annoying Humberto Brenes (70,000). Get full chip counts here.
:: Event #43 ($1,500 NLHE) – A total of 2,857 entered, creating a first place prize of $675,117. A total of 385 survived to Day 2, including the man the myth the legend, Black Phil Ivey, Big Sldick, the one and only Dwyte Pilgrim, Maria Ho, and Eric Baldwin. Get full chip counts here.
:: Event #44 ($2,500 Razz) – The final event of the day brought in 363 players with 166 surviving to Day 2. George Lewis is the chip leader, stacked at 44,3000. Some notable big stacks include Hoyt Corkins (34,700), Chau Giang (32,400), Chad Brown (26,000), Frank Kassela (23,000), and Shawn Buchanan (23,000). First place pays $210,615.

Introduction: Ratchet Strap Winder Tool for Drills
Ratcheting straps: We love to use them, but we hate putting the strap away in a tangled mess. Oddly enough, we also hate to take the time to properly wind up the strap to store it nice and neatly.
Personally, I won't store my straps in a jumbled mess, so I take the time -each and every time- to wind the strap. I decided to make a super simple tool for my cordless drill to help make winding the strap much more painless.
I should tell you now that it's going to take you more time to read this Instructable than it is to make the tool. Using it is even quicker
Fun fact: When I made this, I was pretty proud of myself. It's quick, easy, dirt cheap, and performs the intended function well. I was so proud of myself that I showed it off to my wife, who's reaction was less enthusiastic: "Um, yeah. I've seen those before."
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
First off, if you don't have a hand held power drill (corded or cordless, it doesn't matter) this Instructable is not for you. Also, although I used a bandsaw to make mine, not everybody has one so I've included instructions on how to make it with a hand saw.
What You Need No Matter What:
ratchet strap
small drill bit (I used a 3/16", but a 1/8" or 7/32" would work as well)
1/2" dowel, at least 4" long
pencil & ruler
Method A (with bandsaw)
Method B (without bandsaw)
hand saw
mitre box (totally optional)
1/2" drill bit
chunk of scrap 2x4, or something similar.
Step 2: Cut Dowel to Size
Open your drill chuck and fully insert the dowel. Close the chuck snugly and mark the dowel at the end of the chuck. Next, measure the width of your strap, and mark that on the dowel, too. Then make another mark about a 1/2" past the second mark. You'll end up with 3 marks, as pictured. The last mark is where you cut the dowel.
Method A
Zip it through the band saw.
Method B
Cut it with your hand saw.
Note: I used my mitre box, but only out of habit. A freehand cut is perfectly acceptable.
Step 3: Cut the Slot Into the Dowel
Cut a slot in the dowel from the side you just cut to the first line (as pictured)
Method A
Zip it through the bandsaw.
Method B
Drill a 1/2" hole in the scrap chunk of wood. Put the dowel in it. This will hold the dowel securely as you carefully cut down the middle of the dowel.
Once the slot is cut, use the small drill bit and drill a hole at the end of the cut. Use the cut as your center point.
All done!
Step 4: How to Use Your New Favourite Tool
This is the best part: using it! It's actually quite fun. Okay, maybe I'm just easy to please.
Insert the tool into your drill chuck, tighten and start by putting the end of the strap in the slot. Using your thumb and index finger as a guide, slowly start to wind up the strap. Once you've wound up a bit of strap (several rotations of the drill) you can increase the winding speed. Go as fast as you are comfortable with. Don't worry if the strap starts to wander a bit, you can always pause to straighten the roll out. When you're done, take the bit out of the chuck (taking care not to undo your awesome winding job) and set the roll on a flat surface, and pull the tool out of the roll while holding the strap in place
Note: Don't over tighten the tool in the chuck! It's wood, so it will grab securely without tightening the chuck all the way.
Pro Tip: Don't spin it fast as you reach the ratchet end of the strap. Seriously. That ratchet hits harder than you think.

If you mark the center of the strap with a permanent marker, you can start winding with the tool there and wrap twice as fast. Plus, you'll have the free end exposed, so you can start it through the ratchet without having to unwind the whole thing first.
This is a great idea!

Mangaluru, Mar 14, 2018: Indian Medical Association (IMA) State president Ravindra H.N. on March 13, Tuesday flagged off a Statewide protest rally against the National Medical Commission Bill.
Several doctors came on their bicycles and two-wheelers for the rally, which was flagged off from the IMA House at Hampankatta. The doctors proceeded to the office of the Deputy Commissioner and submitted a memorandum.
In a statement, IMA Manglauru said the NMC Bill was detrimental to the medical profession and the health sector. The Bill allows Ayurveda, Homoeopathy, Unani and Sidda practitioners to do a short course in allopathy and prescribe allopathic medicines. Such a measure will demean the MBBS course, the statement said.
The Bill makes it mandatory for MBBS graduates to clear the National Exit Examination to get licence to practice, IMA Mangaluru said.
The NMC Bill should be opposed not only by doctors but by the public at large, and the rally's aim is to spread awareness on this, they said.

Ever since my laptop caught on fire, nothing has been the same; I simply cannot keep up with the self I have created over the past few years. My deepest loss has been the lack of Living Poetry Projects in my life. I'm finding that The Living Poetry Project is my great source for hope. I can't help but live poetry; even now, I am coming up with schemes for the next project and figuring out creative ways to get wifi back into my life.
Without a laptop, I've been reluctantly relearning how to write poems by hand; I forgot how poems originally came to me as drawings—how the poems were once crafted from the sounds of life around me, not the drive of clock-like ticking keyboard.
My writing process has slowed down. W A Y D O W N.
I'm not sure if I like this slow pace—I've grown accustom to the mad dash of ideas—the violence of words—the hours of striking symbols onto page, only to find I have no recollection for the actually text I've craved. The emergence from emergency—I miss it.
But, I'm excited to see what the necessity of paper, ink, and cursive have to teach me.
I recently had a conversation with the amazing poet, Vejea Jennings. Vejea is a slow process poet—he must engage with every single aspect of the poem before releasing it into the universe. He watches the sound of poems in mirrors; he collaborates with other artists to understand the motions of the words; he lives his poems into existence.
Vejea's process produces a unique product—a product of process.
To add to Vejea's gift of great writing, he has offered his book Free Lunch as a free ebook and audio book!
As soon as I read, hear, and watched Vejea's work, I had to share it.
Lucky for me, I was off to the theater—specifically, Moliere's The Bungler at the new home of A Noise Within. (This show is great! Poet Richard Wibur does an amazing job with the translation. This show is all poetry.)
With the help of some lovely AVC students (big thanks to Genna and Marcella who were on the field trip with me), we hid Vejea's gorgeous poems all over the gorgeous theater. Nothing is more fun than an play within a play within a play.
Vejea's Free Lunch
Free Lunch is a multifaceted art diet including a fully-illustrated ebook and a sonically dynamic audiobook. This project is free to the public and brought to you by the author Vejea Jennings, executive producers Arash Haile and Abe Cajudo, and other artists who love you like all things free.

So anyone who is a crafter knows how incredibly frustrating it is to keep all of your supplies organized, especially if you do not have a dedicated space. Well to those lucky ones who DO have either a special craft room or home office, here are some fabulous ideas I've found on Pinterest for keeping your workspace organized! Check 'em out!
The first space is one I've admired for months! I'd give anything to have this fabulous cabinet space painted and transformed into an amazing cabinet of bins, which can hold a gazillion different items. Check this out at Lil Luna!
If you're like me, you have ribbon thrown all over the place. First I tried placing them on spools like you see so often, but I quickly became frustrated by the unruly strands that would spin out of control each time I even breathed on it too hard. So imagine my bliss when I found this handy idea for a ribbon holder at Spunky Junky!
I love, love, love any kind of pegboard organization like the one found here on the Nest of Posies, even though I've never gotten around to getting one for myself. One day, "I'll get you my pretty... and your little jars too." ;)
Now THIS is a fantastic idea for those files that you don't want to store away in the filing cabinet just yet because you're constantly reaching for them, right? I mean, who knew you could use dish racks in more ways than one??? Genius, I tell ya!
Ok, I have a craft crush on Lolly Jane and this is why. I mean, really? Can you get any stinkin' cuter than this? Gawwgeous!!! I love everything about it... the herringbone patterned background, the jars, the crates, the suitcases. Too cute for words! Except that I did find some words... Anyhoo... moving on.
This is really great for the slightly classier home office. I love the "neat" feel of it and the whites greatly contribute to that. Great job, um, to the person whose pic I found on Pinterest, but could not find the source so, yeaaahhh... Whoever you are, it's awesome!!!
For the artist (kiddos and professionals alike), this is a great way to keep all those markers and paint pens from piling up in desk drawers. Again, another fantastic use of pegboard.
So I know I'm obsessing over pegboard, but how cool is this? Honey Bear Lane has this all figured out! I especially love this because I hand paint wine glasses at Sunny Belle, so the space for the paints is much appreciated! I also love the space for wrapping paper and even the buckets to hold smaller items.
Originally found on the French Knot, this set up is a really cute example of the versatility of a basic bookshelf and a few clipboards. This proves it doesn't take lots of fancy organization components to streamline all your craft goods! Just a little imagination!
Last but not least, for those of you (like me) who do not have a dedicated room for your crafts, how about a corner of a room? I am guessing this takes up about a 1.5' x 4' corner of a room, but look at how much storage it creates! The chalkboard is pretty awesome too. And there's something about the rustic feel of baskets that I simply LOVE! Check out the Tip Junkie and you'll find lots more "family planning" ideas on this blog post. Great job!
Well, I hope you found these craft room and home office ideas just as useful as I did! Do you have any cool ideas of your own? Please share them here! Happy crafting!

Dear YANK:
The other night we were discussing what happens to an MP who lets a prisoner—a GI who went AWOL and was caught, for example—escape while under his escort. One of the fellows says nothing happens, but I thought that the Army always made the MP serve the sentence of the man he lets escape. Isn't that so?
—Cpl Joseph Yates
—Anzio Beachhead
—No. That is one of the Old Army rumors that never seem to die. However, if a soldier guarding a prisoner lets him escape, either by neglect or intention, he is subject to court martial under the 73d Article of War. A guard who lets his prisoner escape through neglect can be sentenced to six months in prison, plus a loss of two-thirds of his pay for the same period. If the guard deliberately lets his prisoner get away, he can be given a dishonorable discharge and be sentenced to one year in prison.

In the past 24 hours I have been checking for other places that are talking about chat sites on the internet, mainly looking to see what other people are saying about the various portals. It amazes me sometimes when checking stats to see that a good chunk of traffic for some of our adult sites come from emails sent to people from friends. It also amazes me how people will start conversations about sites in various blogs and other online communities. More surprising the past day has been finding so many aggregation sites posting info.
There seems to be a slew of places that list page rank, traffic, ranking, site values and other information. I guess this info is public anyway, but seeing places setup entire sites dedicated to showcasing other people's stats and stuff is kind of weird. I am not exactly sure how I feel about places like this checker just promoting information without consent. I guess there is nothing that can be done about it, other than post around the web saying that these automated valuations don't have a clue sometimes, that should be obvious, I just hope people don't consider any of the gospel.

Rabbis Say Iran Seeks Peace – Calls for True Dialogue With AhmadinejadSeptember 24, 2007 at 8:28 pm | Posted in Ahmadinejad, iran, israel | Leave a comment
NEW YORK, Sept. 24 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss, spokesman of Neturei Karta International, issued the following statement on the eve of the group's meeting with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad."It is always our pleasure to visit with President Ahmadinejad. This will be the third such meeting, in addition to our many visits to Iran in the past. We have each time emphasized to the Iranian leadership that, despite media hysteria and the statements of some misinformed Jews, we have found the Iranian people and their leaders to be friendly and respectful.
The Jewish Ron Paul? Not very mainstream.
Cheney considered asking Israel to bomb IranSeptember 23, 2007 at 7:19 pm | Posted in asshole, iran, israel | Leave a comment
Sun Sep 23, 2:34 PM ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Vice President Dick Cheney had at one point considered asking Israel to launch limited missile strikes at an Iranian nuclear site to provoke a retaliation, Newsweek magazine reported on Sunday….A military response by Iran could give Washington an excuse to then launch airstrikes of its own, Newsweek said.
Israel has declined to comment on the reported air strike, while Syria has denied receiving North Korean nuclear aid and said it could retaliate for the September 6 violation of its territory.
Israels asks for U.S. aid to be paid in EurosSeptember 23, 2007 at 12:26 am | Posted in israel, U.S. Dollar | Leave a comment
Secretary of State Rice has acknowledged a communique from Israeli foreign minister Tzipi Levni which requests that all foreign aid payments and loans from the United States be made in Euros rather than in Dollars.

I would like to start with a disclaimer akin to the one which appears before any movies starts. I did not start the blog as a religious or mythological exercise. Having said so, there are times when you travel, the history of the place or a quirky story attached to it, adds a special flavor to the monument you are visiting. Rather than looking at it through the eyes of a "been there, done that" traveler, adding a dash of mythology, I feel, increases the aura of the place!
So the story goes…..
There was a terrible demon called Banasura who was troubling everyone on Earth. He performed intense penance and asked for immortality from Brahma. When Brahma expressed his inability to grant such a boon, he instead asked Banasura to choose a manner of his death. Banasura wished that if he had to die, he would do so only at the hands of a virgin.
With a sense of over confidence regarding his own immortality, he started harassing the people even worse than before. Unable to bear the pain, people appealed to Lord Vishnu to help them. On the God's command, they performed a yagna so powerful that the Goddess Parashakti agreed to come down to the earth as Punyakshi to annihilate the demon.
Punyakshi was a woman of extraordinary intelligence and capabilities. She lived in the Southern parts of India long long ago. She had such immense power of perception that she was considered as an oracle by the society. Akin to how Mirabai worshiped Krishna, Punyakshi developed a deep love for Lord Shiva and resolved to marry him and none other.
While meditating in Mount Kailash, the Lord came to know of her devotion and was moved. He started his journey down south to meet this courageous young woman and marry her. When the news of this reached the people around, they were worried because they would lose their mentor and guide when she went back with Shiva. The devas and Narada were scared that if the wedding would take place, then there would be no one to kill Banasura. Hence, they tried hard to dissuade Shiva from reaching Punyakshi. But Shiva and Punyakshi were determined.
So, the Chieftain of the village, asked for an impossible kind of bride price- a sugarcane stick without the rings, a betel leaf without veins and a coconut without eyes. As nothing was impossible for Shiva, he could materialize all the three without a bat of an eyelid.
Becoming even more desperate, Narada plotted. He scheduled the marriage to happen before sunrise, citing that if the cock crows, then the time would be inauspicious for their union. Punyakshi, secure in the belief that Shiva would definitely reach her, prepared for the wedding with happiness and anticipation. But the elders of the village, egged by Narada, conspired against them and lit a hill of camphor on fire. The blaze was so bright that the village rooster confused it to be daybreak and crowed ahead of time.
Punyakshi got so upset that Shiva had failed her,that she left the place and went to the southernmost part of the land and stood there heartbroken and crying. She is now called the Goddess Kanyakumari, who waits eternally in the place, which bears her name. Learning this, Banasura tried proposing marriage to her. When she refused, he tried to force her hand resulting in a fierce battle, which ultimately killed Banasura. Peace prevailed on Earth.
Meanwhile, Shiva, who was equally upset about his failure, drove himself into a state of despair. He climbed the Vellaingiri mountains and meditated for a long length of time before retreating back to Mount Kailash.
These mountains are now aptly called "South Kailash".
Sometimes, it is difficult to ascertain where fact ends and fiction begins. There are so many such stories in our mythology which tread the delicate balance, and add to the mystery. Many are convinced that at the heart of a mythological story is an event that occurred very very long ago. Hence, in Hindu mythology, these texts are called "Itihasas", or history.
For me, knowing a story and visiting the place have a special charm of its own. Just imagining a land hundreds if not thousand years ago, where Gods and supposedly immortal creatures existed gives me goose bumps.
Visiting the Vellaingiri mountains was one such feeling. Compounded by the magnificent, awe inspiring and majestic bust of Shiva (or Adi yogi, as he is called there), right in the middle of a circular mountain range, green, lush and covered with clouds.
Just before daybreak, when you see the thick grey clouds, heavy with rain, passing silently behind the huge bust of Shiva, sway involuntarily to the rhythmic chants emerging from a small temple close by, hear the howling wind and feel the light drizzle of rain on your face when you look up at the statue, the feeling is surreal.
This is one of those moments where time seems to stand still and you feel one with nature and its elements. Fact or fiction, travel surely gives you such near perfect moments to enjoy!
Have you ever had an experience like this??

This square is not really magical, it looks like that only at the first glance. In the example illustrated, the drill runs clockwise; you will notice this when you take a closer look. Nevertheless, the players must always adapt to a new situation; a pass to the wrong group and this drill is in vain.
All said and done, how do I start this drill? First, we need a marked square. Each position should be occupied by at least two players during the drill. At the drill start, each of the balls is with a player at a corner. The start player runs from a corner without the ball to the drill centre and gets an accurate pass. The passer then runs towards the centre and waits there for the second ball.
It appears to be okay until now, but where is the ball passed from the centre? There is only one possibility, because a player may not pass to where he came from, where there is already a ball and not back to the passer. Thus, only one corner is left.
- Pass only after secure ball control
- Different passing techniques
- Memorise the sequence exactly
Category: Advanced training, children's training, youth training, seniors
Minimum group size: 8
Maximum group size: 12
Materials required: Two balls, four cone markers
Field size: The larger the square, more intense are the running lanes and more difficult are the passing lanes.
Information: There are already more than 1,000 animations online at www.soccerdrills.de, as well as plenty of interesting articles by very well-known soccer experts.
If you don't want to wait for the translations, you can take a look at Soccerdrills.de. The animations often speak for themselves.

Occurrence and removal of nanoparticles in drinking water treatment
Emile Cornelissen PhD MSc, Danny Harmsen BSc, Wolter Siegers, Erwin Beerendonk BSc
Start date01 Jan 2013
End date31 Dec 2016
PrincipalBTO CO
collaborating partnersPentair, Universiteit Wageningen, TU Twente en Vitens
Because of the global increase in the use of nanoparticles, in consumer and pharmaceutical products for example, it is expected that they will increasingly become a source of environmental (air, soil and water) contamination. The more nanoparticles are used, the more these materials will be released into the environment and drinking water sources.
The risks associated with nanoparticles in drinking water sources are still for the most part unknown. This is due to a lack of knowledge about (I) a the toxic effects of nanoparticles, (II) the fate and behaviour of nanoparticles in the environment, and (III) the removal of nanoparticles in water treatment processes; moreover (IV), there are insufficient analytical techniques for the measurement of nanoparticles. These knowledge lacunae make the removal of nanoparticles from water a relevant technological and societal subject with regard to the provision of healthy and safe drinking water.
Wastewater and drinking water treatment plants are important barriers in the life-cycle of nanoparticles in the environment. They also constitute a barrier against the potential release of nanoparticles into the environment, and provide important protection for public health. However, today's water treatment plants were not (specifically) designed for the removal of nanoparticles. The objective of the research is to determine the occurrence of nanoparticles in drinking water sources, and also study the removal of these particles in existing drinking water treatment processes.
Research at wastewater and drinking water treatment plants
For classical treatment processes (sand filtration, coagulation/flocculation and activated carbon filtration) and more advanced treatment processes (membrane filtration), we answer the following open questions about nanoparticles in water treatment:
- Do nanoparticles occur in drinking water sources?
- Are nanoparticles removed by today's treatment processes?
Occurrence and removal of nanoparticles
The expected products of the research are:
- Information about the occurrence of nanoparticles in drinking water sources, and about the number and types of nanoparticles (possibly) present in drinking water treatment.
- Insight into the effect of selected nanoparticles on the operational management of selected treatment processes.
- Knowledge about the removal of nanoparticles in existing treatment processes.
- Report/publication on the occurrence and removal of nanoparticles in water treatment.

I must say I feel kinda restless now that I'm on my way to starting a new piece of the project – but don't have the materials (I think I'll start with the shifts actually). But I feel very thirsty on the research front, so I started looking around new places. SVT (Sveriges Television – Swedish Public Service Television) has a huge archive of old film, a lot has gone up for free streaming on SVT Play. I didn't find much 18th century related suff, but I did find a silent film about a silk factory, might be interesting (I thought so). And as a bonus, here's a silent movie about wallpaper making with techniques from before 1850.

Abu Dhabi International Airport Passenger Travel Surges in Summer 2012
WAM Abu Dhabi: As the World Route Development Forum opens its doors at ADNEC, event host Abu Dhabi Airports Company (ADAC) today released the traffic report for Abu Dhabi International Airport for the months of July and August 2012.
August saw a robust 20% growth over last year's figures with passenger traffic reaching 1.3 million. Cargo traffic was also on the rise reaching 46,376 tonnes, with an increase of 16.4% compared to the month of August in 2011.
The traffic reports also showed a 16.7% growth in passenger traffic in the month of July 2012, with more than 1.35 million passengers passing through the airport – the highest monthly numbers in the airport's history. Cargo traffic also reflected a parallel increase in July, reaching 50,371 tonnes, representing an increase of 27.7% compared to the same month last year.
Total arrival and departure transfers also reported a significant increase in July of 42.6% and 37.1% respectively, reflecting the growing strength of the airport's connectivity and positioning it as a key aviation hub in the region.
Eng. Ahmed Al Haddabi, Chief Operating Officer at ADAC, commented: "July and August this year have been exceptional months with the airport seeing its largest volume of passenger traffic in its history. With a year-to-date growth of 21.5%, ADAC is one of the world's fastest growing airport operators. It is encouraging to see in the first half of this year that passenger increase was sustained as we enter the second half of the year.
The positive performance in passenger traffic this summer reflects the attractiveness of the Emirate as a business and tourism destination with more passengers choosing Abu Dhabi International Airport as their gateway to the rest of the world." "Together with Etihad's additional flights to Bangkok and new destinations such as Lagos in Nigeria, growth is also attributed to the strong summer season that all airlines in Abu Dhabi International Airport are experiencing. During this busy period, Abu Dhabi International Airport continues to provide high quality experiences and services to passengers," Al Haddabi continued.
Bangkok continues to register the highest growth with a 49% increase in traffic, followed by London, Doha, and Manila to be the top four routes from Abu Dhabi International Airport during July and August, with the fifth route being Jeddah for July and Cairo for August 2012.

Social Media Intern Isamar Vega-Rodriguez took a break from her regular work to learn about the efforts that go into welcoming a newly arriving family.
As the Social Media Intern, I recently had the privilege of stepping out of the office with the intent to do something different; something every New American Pathways staff member, intern and volunteer looks forward to doing. With encouragement from my supervisors, I participated with the Resettlement team by taking part in an airport pickup. The pickup would help me further understand the process that goes behind resettling a family, and I eagerly took advantage of the chance to take part of something bigger than myself.
As the day approached, I got to see behind the scenes all the effort that goes into successfully resettling a refugee family. From locating an apartment for the family to comfortably live in, to grocery shopping the day before arrival, I noticed the process is done with extreme care and support from all the staff members at New American Pathways, and I was willing to take it all in and learn.
The morning of, I received a call from a longtime New American Pathways partner, Zane, who directed me where to meet once I arrived at the airport to pick up an incoming Syrian family of nine. As I arrived at the airport, I was swarmed with hundreds of people frantically walking from one concourse to the other. Meanwhile, in between all the airport chaos, I was on my way to the main arrival gate where I would ultimately meet the Syrian refugee family. As I arrived, my level of anxiety and expectancy rose.
The family arrived. Eager to help, I introduced myself and welcomed them to America as we walked towards the baggage claim to retrieve their bags. Zane later shared that airport pickups are the most exciting part of the whole refugee resettlement journey, and in that moment I could not agree more.
As the luggage arrived on the carousel, I sat with the families' mother, grandmother, and children. It was quiet, but you could tell the family was exhausted after a long journey to America. My communication with them was very little – the most I could do in that moment was smile and give them the assurance that everything was going to be okay.
We collected the luggage, gathered together and broke up into two groups to get to the cars safely. I was in charge of making sure the mother carrying the newborn and the two little girls made it across the street and to the parking deck safely. I held on to the two little girls hands and exchanged smiles with the mother. As we got into the car you could tell the family was nervous and expectant for something greater than their life back at home. In that moment I realized that, even though we didn't speak the same language and communication was limited, I could relate to the families emotions in the moment.
As half an hour of silence and broken English passed, we finally arrived to their new fully furnished apartment in Clarkston. The kids quickly jumped around with excitement and the nerves settled down. You could tell they finally felt at peace. They were humble and extremely thankful for their new home, and I likewise felt nothing but joy for them.
As they enjoyed their first meal together, provided by New American Pathways, I sat back and thought to myself how it is the little things in life that bring us the greatest joy. I could see it in their faces – and just to have the opportunity to take part in such an eventful day for this family and New American Pathways, the same joy was given back to me in return.
As time came to a close, I exchanged a big hug and smile with the mother, and I could instantly tell they were overjoyed because they had arrived at a safe place. That safe place is finally somewhere they could call home; home sweet home. And I could truly say, this was an experience of a lifetime. I now know why every New American Pathways staff member thoroughly enjoys this part of the process. The feeling of bringing someone home is irreplaceable.

"The most difficult time was at the end of the summer of 2016.
Preston got up one morning and was lethargic.
We knew something was wrong and took him to the veterinarian.
They did some tests for Lyme Disease and other illnesses but they didn't find anything in his bloodworm.
They thought it was an orthopedic injury.
Over the next two days he deteriorated rapidly and one morning he coughed up blood and his chest was all black and blue."

It's not her fault, at all, but this morning I'm blaming Vienna Teng.
I listened to "Stray Italian Greyhound" off her new album, Inland Territory, on loop all the way to work today. I also belted it out right along with her, complete with dramatic interpretation.
It's about being hit by life with unexpected–and almost unwanted–love after you've already put away your heart and your hopes and "settled into the glass half empty."
And it's lyrics like that, and "This sudden burst of sunlight/And me with my umbrella/Cross-indexing every weatherman's report" and the perfect description of all of this as "inconvenient fireworks" that are why I go ahead and sing at the top of my lungs, with the window down on a gorgeous spring day, driving down San Francisco streets.
(Oh, and can we just mention the strings? Sheer orchestral gorgeousness. Swells of sonic pleasure.)
I like stories that tell of this feeling, this experience. I like the story of the person who, having quietly resigned from love and made a virtue of small comforts, is caught in the unexpected gale of love and terrifying possibility (without warning/as a whirlwind/swoops on an oak/love shakes my heart, as Sappho is said to have said) and is grudgingly, bitterly, inexorably, violently happily, forced into that opening of heart and hope.
It's a literally awful experience: equal parts terror and glory, and I love it.
At my heart, I call myself a pragmatist. But always, always, because there's no other way to live if you really want to enjoy it, I'm optimistic about life. I may even be utilitarian about my optimism, because I do see–laud, even–its sheer bloody evolutionary value, but I won't deny it. And despite being wonderfully happy in the completeness of my self, there's a part of me that yearns for the stupid romantic comedy to play out in my life. I have had enough of that happen in my life to know that it can, so even though the rest of me is going on its way happy and secure in the knowledge that it doesn't matter if it will, that itty bitty part of me wants it. The whole full-throttle, cue-the-violins, caught-up-in-something-bigger-than-you experience.
It just struck me that part of it is that I want to be naïve again. Every time after the first time, I have had a moment of choice in falling in love. That's how I am now. That first time? Dude, I just fell in love and didn't know it until it was too late. And that didn't turn out so well. So now, I know what it feels like, and I can stop and say, "you sure this is where you want to go?" and then leap off the cliff anyway, waiting to see if I'm going to fall or fly.
Because that is one of things of which I am most proud: I will take that leap, I will take that risk, because here my pragmatism and my optimism agree–not to do so is no way to live.
And that's why I'm still a bloody romantic in most people's books, even if not in my own. I don't believe in happy endings (just ask my characters), but that stubborn essential pragmatic optimist in me… well, he loves "Stray Italian Greyhound," and romantic comedies even more than the rest of me, but we both believe that while everything might not turn out right for everyone, it does for some people, and those stories are worth the telling.
