Disbarred hudson county, n.J., criminal defense attorney sentenced to prison for tax crimes
June 13, 2012
NEWARK, N.J. – A Hudson County, N.J., defense attorney who has not filed a personal income tax return since 2000 was sentenced today to 30 months in prison for committing tax crimes in connection with income he received from his law practice, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.
Francis Cutruzzula, 49, of River Vale, N.J., previously pleaded guilty to an Information charging him with two counts of tax evasion and one count of failure to file a tax return. He entered his guilty plea before U.S. District Judge William H. Walls, who also imposed the sentence today in Newark federal court.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:
A 1988 graduate of Seton Hall Law School, Cutruzzula was admitted to practice law in New Jersey and was the sole proprietor of the Jersey City law practice of Francis S. Cutruzzula, P.A. Despite receiving significant income from his law practice, Cutruzzula has not filed a personal income tax return since calendar year 2000.
Cutruzzula is also the sole owner of FSC Imports, Inc., a domestic corporation purportedly in the business of importing water from Italy. FSC has not filed a corporate income tax return since it was incorporated in 2002.
Cutruzzula maintained four separate bank accounts; an account in the name of Francis S. Cutruzzula,( the "Operating Account"); an account in the name of Francis S. Cutruzzula, P.A., (the "Attorney-Trust account"); an account in the name of Francis S. Cutruzzula, (the "Personal Account") and an account in the name of FSC Imports, Inc, (the "FSC Account").
As examples, during calendar years 2005 and 2006, Cutruzzula deposited approximately $364,649 and $481,547, respectively, in total gross receipts from his law practice into the Operating Account, the FSC Account and the Personal Account. On one occasion, Cutruzzula received a check for a client to purchase property in Jersey City. After preparing a fraudulent contract for sale for the client, Cutruzzula deposited the $150,000 check into his Attorney-Trust account, which had been carrying a negative balance. As soon as the deposit was made, Cutruzzula wrote $120,000 in checks on the account and moved the funds to the other three accounts he controlled.
Cutruzzula then wrote checks and made withdrawals totaling approximately $210,145 for 2005 and $259,538 in 2006, spending the money on various personal expenses, including custom-made men's suits; a men's Tourneau watch; payments to various luxury resorts, a Disney Vacation Club, and his retirement account; mortgage payments for his personal residence; cash payments to himself; and payments to various personal credit card accounts he used.
Based on his 2005 net taxable income of approximately $181,080, Cutruzzula owed the IRS approximately $68,336 in taxes. Based on his 2006 net taxable income of approximately $315,660, Cutruzzula owed approximately $119,117. Cutruzzula did not file returns either year, nor make any payments on his taxes.
During calendar year 2007, Cutruzzula received total gross income of approximately $296,676 and failed to file a return. Between calendar years 2005 and 2007, Cutruzzula received more than $1.1 million in total gross receipts from his law practice and other sources.
In addition to the prison term, Judge Walls sentenced Cutruzzula to serve three years of supervised release and ordered him to pay $6,000 in fines. Cutruzzula is also required to cooperate fully with the IRS, including filing all delinquent tax returns and paying $238,235 in taxes due.
As part of his guilty plea, Cutruzzula agreed to a voluntary lifetime disbarment from the Bar of the State of New Jersey, which he confirmed by signing a Disbarment by Consent form filed with the New Jersey Supreme Court. This consent to disbarment is an absolute bar to Cutruzzula ever seeking reinstatement to the Bar of the State of New Jersey, and resulted in an order of disbarment and the assessment of disciplinary costs.
U.S. Attorney Fishman credited special agents of IRS-Criminal Investigation in Newark, under the direction of Acting Special Agent in Charge JoAnn S. Zuniga, with the investigation leading to today's sentence.
The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Deborah J. Gannett of the U.S. Attorney's Office Health Care and Government Fraud Unit.
Defense counsel: Jeffrey Garrigan Esq., Jersey City, N.J.

Yesterday I received my ARC (advanced reading copy) of my second book coming out this fall. It's Tortoise and Hare's Amazing Race by Marianne Berkes, a retired teacher and librarian, now a full time children's book author and presenter. This is our third picture book together and we are working away on our fourth to come out spring 2016.
Arbordale Publishing is the publisher and they specialize in fun stories that build on science, nature and math skills. Tortoise and Hare is a retelling of the classic story with a math twist. Fractions and distance measurements mark progress for Henry Hare and Tess Tortoise along the way.
|How far to the top? 1,760 yards or one mile!
|No Henry, you really don't have time to play, but you never did listen to me...
|5,280 feet is the same as one mile. I already knew that because Denver is the Mile Hi City.

Cross-posted from Vimeo. See also The Vehicule Poets.
I've always been interested in experimental poetry, that is, exploring new ways to express an old form. I began by creating visual poems on the page as well as combining poetry with performance art. When I produced my first "videopoem" in 1978, I was a member of an artist-run gallery, the Vehicule Art Gallery in Montreal, where I was witnessing the advancements in painting, in installation and performance art, in graphic, multi-media and video art, so it was almost natural for me to experiment with video. I no longer saw poetry as limited to the printed page. Over the years, I produced numerous videopoems, which led me eventually into the video production field, where I began writing and producing documentaries, as well as other commercial work.
These days I am in the process of completing my research on materials for an examination of videopoetry (or filmpoems, as they were referred to in an earlier time). I began producing videopoems in 1978; now more than 30 years later, I find myself teaching a course in "Word and Image" at the University of the Fraser Valley here in BC, Canada. For the past 2 years, I have travelled to various archives in Berlin, Buenos Aires, San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Toronto, taking notes on the work I encountered, eventually arriving at a workable definition and five main categories of the genre.
Videopoetry is a genre of poetry displayed on a screen, distinguished by its time-based, poetic juxtaposition of text with images and sound. In the measured blending of these 3 elements, it produces in the viewer the realization of a poetic experience.
The poetic juxtaposition of the elements implies an appreciation of the weight and reach of each element; the method is analogous to the poet's process of selecting just-the-right word or phrase and positioning these in a concentrated "vertical" pattern.
To differentiate it from other forms of cinema, the principal function of a videopoem is to demonstrate the process of thought and the simultaneity of experience, expressed in words — visible and/or audible — whose meaning is blended with but not illustrated by the images.
In its early stages, "poetry film" used text to illustrate the soundtrack (for example, the vocal performance of a poem whose text is simultaneously presented on the screen) or illustrated the text with images which are easily identifiable with their verbal references. It has also been used to describe recorded performances at poetry readings and, in many cases, music videos with poetic elements.
There are 5 principal forms of videopoetry, including a combination of any of these:
KINETIC TEXT is essentially the simple animation of text over a neutral background. These works owe much to concrete and patterned poetry in their style — the use of different fonts, sizes, colours to create unusual visual representations of text.
VISUAL TEXT, or words superimposed over video/film images, presents the most significant challenge to the videopoet — to integrate the 3 elements. The role of the videopoet is to be an artist/juggler — a visual artist, sound artist, and poet combined — to juggle image, sound and text so that their juxtaposition will create a new entity, an art object, a videopoem. Text can include "found text", i.e. image as text.
SOUND TEXT, or poetry narrated over video/film, is the videopoem without "superimposed text". The "text" of the videopoem is expressed through the voice of the poet, accompanying the video/film images on the screen. Of the five forms of videopoetry, SOUND TEXT — with or without music — is the most popular; essentially, this is due to the facility of working within the traditional form of video/film, i.e. using the narrative techniques of the medium — without the additional difficulty presented by visual text — to illustrate a previously written poem. Once the illustrative function is removed, the work appears as the non-referential juxtaposition of sound and image.
PERFORMANCE is the appearance of the poet, on-camera, performing the poem. Some poets will mimic the MTV-music video style of presentation.
CIN(E)POETRY is the videopoem wherein the text is superimposed over graphics, still images, or "painted" with the assistance of a computer program. It closely resembles VISUAL TEXT, except the imagery is computer-generated, not captured by a motion picture camera. The term was introduced by George Aguilar, who works most often in this form.
In addition to image and sound, text is THE essential "element" or raw material of a videopoem, implying a differentiation from the 'poetic film' which relies, almost exclusively, on the visual treatment — the composition and editing of the images — in contradistinction to its verbal treatment. Indeed, the text, whether displayed on the screen or heard on the soundtrack of a videopoem, need not be an appropriation of a previously published poem.
What differentiates videopoems from poetry-films today is the use of non-poetic texts to effect the experience of a poem — my interpretation of Maya Deren's "verticality" — in which the text, when extracted and examined as an independent element, can not be identified as "poetry". The poetry is the RESULT of the juxtaposed, blended use of text with imagery and sound.
Born in Budapest, based in Montreal until 1983, Tom Konyves is one of the original seven poets dubbed The Vehicule Poets; his work is distinguished by Dadaist/Surrealist/experimental writings, performance works and "videopoems".
In 1978, he coined the term videopoetry to describe his multimedia work, and is considered to be one of the original pioneers of the form. He is the author of "Videopoetry: A Manifesto", published on Sept. 6, 2011.
As one of the leading theorists of the genre of videopoetry - his Manifesto was reposted in numerous blogs, including W.J.T. Mitchell's Critical Inquiry, and to date has been accessed by readers in 51 countries - he has been invited to address festivals, conferences and symposia in Buenos Aires, Berlin, New York, London and Amsterdam, among others.
Since 2006, he has been teaching screenwriting, video production, journalism and creative visual writing courses at the University of the Fraser Valley in Abbotsford, British Columbia.

We're not breaking any new ground when we say that your conversion rate matters. Whether you're trying to capture new leads, get people to fill out a form, or sell a product, your conversion rate will make or break you.
But what many marketers fail to consider is just how much poor conversion rates cost them. Every missed lead is one less customer. Every failed sale is less revenue. Every time a customer gets frustrated filling out a form takes them one step closer to switching to another company.
(Also, 1 + 1 = 2).
But when it comes to actual lost revenue, how much are we talking? It's easy to talk about conversion rates at a high level without ever realizing just how much low conversion rates can cost you.
To get a handle on this, let's look at some common conversion rate mistakes and then create a basic estimate of how much these mistakes can cost you.
There are dozens of well-established conversion rate mistakes, but here are a few of the most common.
More and more, people want authentic human connections with businesses. So many companies have cold, stuffy, corporate-feeling websites and web forms. Adding a personal touch to yours can make a huge difference in your conversion rates.
37Signals (now Basecamp) discovered this when they added an image of a person to their landing pages. The result was an 102.5% increase in conversions.
Few things are more frustrating than having to wait ages for a company to answer a question or fix a problem. Nothing makes you want to smash your computer more than calling the company and hearing that you're a "valuable customer" but also are 44th in queue.
So it's no surprise that adding a live chat option significantly increases conversion rates.
When Intuit added live chat to their site in order to engage prospects and customers, they say a 211% increase in sales.
Landing pages absolutely must be optimized for an ideal user experience across every type of device. The bottom line is that people expect pages to load fast, whether they're on a laptop, tablet, or mobile phone.
Wal-Mart Canada noticed that a significant portion of their traffic was coming from tablets, so they optimized their site to increase page performance, particularly on tablets.
This single improvement led to a 20% increase in conversions and a 98% increase in sales.
If people have no idea how much work is required to fill out a form or a survey, there's a good chance they'll bail before they complete it. Remember, the internet is all about speed, and the longer something takes the less people want to do it. There's a reason Amazon tries to make checkout as fast as possible.
When Ecwid optimized their progress bar to show how visitors were progressing through both free and paid plan sign ups, they saw a 21.3% conversion rate increase among English speaking users.
Adding urgency to a Call-To-Action is a tried-and-true marketing technique that has been proven again and again to increase conversion rates. It forces hesitant consumers to make a decision about whether or not to purchase.
When Dewalt (a Black and Decker brand) added a graphic of a clock along with the message, "Order in the next N hours for delivery today," it resulted in a 27% increase in orders.
It's not uncommon for a landing page to have loads of choices, whether in terms of a lead magnet, product, or fields to be filled in. This creates cognitive friction or overload, which is what happens when you have so many choices that you get overwhelmed and don't pick anything.
When The Weather Channel wanted to turn visitors into premium subscribers, they dramatically simplified their home page, resulting in a 225% increase in subscribers.
Purchasing something online can be somewhat intimidating, especially if a person has been burned in the past by a terrible product or company. That's why reviews and testimonies are so helpful. They are a sign that your company is trustworthy and the product you deliver is excellent.
When FigLeaves (a clothing brand) added product reviews to their website, they saw a 35% increase in sales.
Now, let's put these statistics together to get a feel for how much poor conversion rates could be costing you.
For the sake of this example, let's say you're trying to increase the conversion rate on your eCommerce site. And for purposes of simplicity, let's use the average value of eCommerce purchases, which is $82, and a conversion rate of 2%. So for every 100 visitors, you're generating 2 sales for a total of $164.
Granted, this is high level and very reductionist, but it's helpful when trying to grasp the big picture.
So, let's say...
In an absolute perfect world, in which you perfectly stacked all these improvements on top of each other, one after another, your conversion rate increases by 641.8%, you generate 14.83 sales per 100 visitors and your revenue would exponentially increase from $82 per 100 visitors to $1,216.55 per 100 visitors.
Granted, this is an extreme scenario that completely eliminates the human factor and is based on everything be implemented perfectly, neither of which can happen in real life. But this extreme scenario is like the classic story of starting with a single cent and doubling that every day. Compounding creates huge results over time.
So even if you can implement some of these conversion tactics imperfectly, the potential for revenue growth is enormous.
And on the flip side, failing to improve your conversion rates truly could cost you millions of dollars. It's really that simple.
The moral of the story? Don't stand for the status quo. Don't let your conversion rates stay where they are. Start implementing the above tactics as you create your landing pages and forms.
You'll be amazed by the results.
Okay, you get the point: having a bad conversion rate sucks. But it's easy to get lost in all the numbers we crunched above. So let's take it up to 30,000 feet. Let's try to get a feel of what conversion rate improvements would look like across the entire eCommerce economy.
Let's apply the conversion rate improvements noted above to eCommerce as a whole.
What's the cost of poor conversion rates when we extrapolate across the whole online economy? In a word: Massive.
Even if we look at just a few of the most common problems that affect conversion rate, we could assume that, on average, most sites could boost their conversion rate by some 237% across the board.
If that happened, we'd be looking at a massive increase in the total number of conversions and an associated uptick in revenue.
According to our calculations, retailers are leaving an estimated $10.8 billion in revenue on the table every single day.
This is, of course, a bit of a simplification.
But the point's clear. Poor conversions have a high cost. Anyone who isn't actively investing in improving and optimizing their conversion rate online is throwing money out the window. Or, perhaps more accurately, abandoning cash in the cart.
Paperform helps companies build beautiful, usable landing forms that are optimized for conversions.

Dr Patrick Briggs offers labioplasty surgery in Perth. Labioplasty, often spelled labiaplasty, is a treatment for enlarged or irregular labia often done for cosmetic enhancement or medical reasons.
Many women are born with large or irregular labia. Others develop this condition after childbirth or with ageing.
The appearance of the enlarged labia can cause loss of self esteem or embarrassment with a sexual partner.
Chronic labial irritation can sometimes develop in women who wear tight clothing. Discomfort can occur with sex, sports or other physical activities.
Labioplasty can greatly enhance the cosmetic appearance of the outer vagina giving many women greater confidence and self esteem. Women whose labia become irritated and painful will often find relief after surgery.
Many women also wish to change the appearance of the external sex organs: the Mons Pubis (fatty area under the pubic hair) or the external/internal labia (lips of the vagina).
If you have long or hanging vaginal lips/genitalia, you may benefit from a labia reduction. Some women have always been this way, whereas others develop the problem after childbirth or as they get older.
If you'd like to discuss labioplasty surgery in Perth, get in touch with us today.

We have shown that a vaccine designed to blunt the effects of methamphetamine works in male rats in two prior publications, summarized here and here. We have also had success showing that vaccines directed against the synthetic cathinones MDPV ("bathsalts") and alpha-PVP ("flakka") work to reduce the effects of those drugs. A brief video outlining the approach to generating vaccines that might be helpful for drug abused created by NIDA can be found here.
The following has recently been accepted for publication:
Nguyen, J.D., Bremer, P.T., Hwang, C.S., Vandewater, S.A., Collins, K.C., Creehan, K.M., Janda, K.D. and Taffe, M.A. Effective active vaccination against methamphetamine in female rats, Drug Alcohol Depend, 2017, 175:179-186. [Publisher Site] [PubMed]
In this study we show that an increase in the amount that female rats move around their cages after an injection of methamphetamine is reduced in the MH6-KLH vaccinated rats.
As you can see in the explainer video, the main principle of anti-drug vaccination is that antibodies can bind some of the drug molecules (methamphetamine in this case) in the bloodstream, thereby preventing them from getting into the brain. This capacity to retain methamphetamine is relatively fixed at a given point in the vaccine sequence, thus administering a sufficiently high dose can (should) overcome the protection.
In our data, the effects of the vaccine were dose dependent. This is Figure 4 from the paper which depicts locomotor activity rates (counts per minute) in the MH6-KLH and KLH groups in the first and second hours after injection of methamphetamine in three doses [Significant differences from the Vehicle and 0.25 mg/kg within Group and Hour are indicated by §, from Vehicle (only) by # and from the 0.5 mg/kg condition by &. ]. There is a dose-dependent increase in activity rate compared with the vehicle injection condition. With respect to the active vaccination group, complete protection was found at the 0.25 mg/kg dose and partial protection at 0.5 mg/kg compared with the KLH group; the two groups were about the same after 1.0 mg/kg was injected. This further enhances our ability to interpret these data as a specific effect of the vaccination and to determine where the threshold for effective protection may lie.
There was another finding in this study which was slightly disappointing in terms of the vaccine study but greatly enhanced our understanding of another thing that we have been working on, namely vapor inhalation techniques to deliver drugs to rats for various research purposes. Most specifically we showed that e-cigarette type vapor inhalation of methamphetamine (and MDPV and mephedrone) increases the activity of male rats to a similar extent as it does when injected (blogpost overview). We used this model in the present study as well and confirmed that just as with male rats, the female rats activity in the cage was increased after vapor inhalation of methamphetamine to about the same extent as after the injected doses. Therefore up to this point in time we were assuming that the dose delivered to the rat was approximately similar when similar behavioral results were produced.
Unfortunately there was no difference in the effects of inhaled methamphetamine across the vaccinated and control groups of rats. We originally interpreted this as potentially a difference in the rate of drug penetration into the brain which minimized the ability of the vaccine-generated antibodies to prevent locomotor effects.
Upon reviewer request we then examined the blood levels of methamphetamine after injection (0.25, 1.0 mg/kg, i.p.) and the inhalation condition in a different group of unvaccinated female rats. We found that methamphetamine was about ten times higher in the blood after inhalation versus injection in this new study. This of course explains why the vaccinated group was not protected, i.e., the dose under inhalation was far past the ability of the antibodies to sequester in the bloodstream.
The curious thing is still why a similar level of locomotor activity was produced at the 10-fold difference in methamphetamine levels. Very likely this is due to the rate at which drug is delivered to the animal- in our inhalation model this takes place over 30 minutes whereas an injection takes seconds. Obviously one of our next avenues of research is to better determine the way that drug levels increase in the blood during vapor inhalation.

I've only read two books so far this month, and that's quite slow by my standards. The worst part is, I've read so little despite having a lot of time because I've spent a lot of time on Youtube trying to work up the courage to start making videos of my own.
I've just finished Past Continuous by Neel Mukherjee and it's left me quite unhappy, not because it isn't good, but because it's disturbing. Which obviously means that I loved it! I will post a review, or try to, because I have no idea how to dissect this book, and it is a book which requires a lot of dissection.
For starters, it tells two stories, one of the main character Ritwik, reading English literature in England and the other, the story of a British lady in Colonial India in the 1890's, which Ritwik is writing. This book terrified me because the tool employed was that of the 'unreliable narrator' because the life Ritwik is leading has strange echoes from the novel he's writing. Their stories intertwine in mind-boggling ways which make you question Ritwik's reality, which the author has no trouble whatsoever in convincing the reader to accept as her own reality too. That effect is disquieting, to say the least.
Additionally, this book also deals with themes of child abuse, the effects of growing up in poverty, sexual abuse, etc. But that's not the main reason I wanted to read this book. I've owned this book for about a year already, and I'd bought it on a whim without knowing anything about it.
It was not on my original TBR list for this month, as you'd know if you've seen that post. And then I read an excerpt of an interview of the author (Who's just been shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize for his second book, The Lives of Others. Yes, I own that one as well) and I discovered a crucial fact: The protagonist Ritwik Ghosh is gay. I am a huge LGBTQ supporter and I feel like gay protagonists are hugely under-represented in literature, especially in Indian literature, but in general too. I wanted to see how Neel Mukherjee manages his representation, so I picked up this book, off-schedule, since it still went with my Indian authors theme for the month.
After reading the book, I found the fact that the novel wasn't about his homosexuality pretty refreshing. I feel like gay(or bisexual or lesbian or transgender) persons can't be seen to be accepted as such if their sexuality continues to be the main 'theme' of any pop-culture of which they are a part. I feel like this dehumanises us somehow. On the other hand, Ritwik is depicted as a person with very real struggles, ideas, needs, distinct from being gay. I love that. Despite this, it still made a reasonably accurate representation of the furtive struggles and fears of a closeted gay man trying to find a sexual partner in the 1990's in England.
However, this aspect isn't the focus of this novel. The focus of the novel of Ritwik's journey into life as an illegal immigrant from being a scholarship English Literature student. It's about his relationship with his dead mother who still haunts his thoughts with the burden of her all-consuming, dependent love which leads her to become abusive. It's about his frustration at the seeming opacity of the character of the protagonist in his novel, which is a frustration everyone who writes knows so very well. It's about his friendships with people, which are necessarily transient due to his illegal immigrant status.
Ritwik, in my opinion, is one of the most real, most relatable, yet complicated characters I've ever had the privilege of reading. He's a character I'd be proud to have written. I dream of writing about a contradictory character like him all the time, but I'm too scared to because I feel like I may step into the realms of the absurd.
I almost gave this book five stars of Goodreads, but I haven't because of a couple of loose ends, including a couple of characters on whom I didn't get enough closure. The novel doesn't aim at closure, of course, quite the opposite, but the author's treatment of a couple of characters, like Aritra, Ritwik's brother was just not believable to me. I don't want to give anything else away so I'll leave it at that. 🙂
I'll think about this book and about Ritwik for a long time yet. I feel like my review didn't do justice to all of the various layers in this book, but I could write a thesis on it if I tried, and this isn't the appropriate forum to post that!
I'll stop here, hoping that I piqued the interests of at least one person to read it!
That's all I guess.

On the border of India and Pakistan is the Hunza Valley, also known as the 'oasis of youth'. The people of this valley live up to 110-120 years. I never get sick, and they look a lot younger.
There is a legend that this small country in the mountain by a group of soldiers led by Alexander the Great during the march on India. Then there was a strict discipline in which the residents had to sleep and eat with swords and shields, and even to play with them.
Hunza lives at the famous 'cuttings mountain', the crossroads of the three biggest world, mountain ranges the Himalayas, Karakoram and Hindu Kush. In the vicinity of the world's top five peaks, that are over 8,000 meters. These people are generally not known for political reasons. In fact, in this area is for 60 years the water dispute between India and Pakistan.
They bathe in the icy water, even at -15 ° C and play no matter what they have for 100 years. Forty women look like women, but with 65 years to have children. Over the year to eat fresh fruits and vegetables, and the winter dried apricots, sprouted grains and sheep cheese.
Hunza have a special name for the period when the fruit is not yet ripe, "hungry spring", this period lasts 2-4 months and during them, they almost nothing to eat, only once a day drink a beverage from dried apricots. This type of fasting is a great respect for them.
Scottish doctor Mack Harrison is one of the first to describe this 'happy valley', also mentioning that they entered proteins at levels below normal.
The doctor, who is 14 years stayed close to the Hunza valley, concluded that the diet most important factor longevity of these people, this is not a surprise to neighbors Hunza who live in exactly the same climatic conditions are twice shorter life and are more susceptible to various diseases.
Dr.Bircher in his book "Hunza – people who do not know about the disease," found that the diet is crucial for the longevity of these people. They eat a lot of raw foods and natural products, primarily fruits and vegetables. So, alcohol and sweets practically did not use, but once a year and have a period of fasting.
Locals say that a vegetarian diet, constant physical activity, movement and coordinated rhythm of life that they provide a long life of 120-150 years.
Hunza has a high work capacity. For them to walk 100-200 kilometers same thing for us to walk around the house. Easy to climb steep mountains and always arrive home fresh, happy and cheerful.
I keep laughing, always in a good mood, even if they are hungry or cold. Do not get mad even complain and never fight each other not, said literature on this very interesting tribe.

To close or not to close – that is the question I am currently pondering with regards to the stack of credit cards I've accumulated over the years. I've got those cards I first signed up for in college, the department store cards that gave me a 'discount', the obligatory accounts that I opened to 'take advantage' of a balance transfer, the Rewards cards that I've accumulated airline miles, and a Diamond, Gold and Platinum just for good measure.
Now even before deciding to pass my fiscally conservative – no credit card usage – budget earlier this year, I did not use the bulk of these cards (I'm currently carrying one large balance on my oldest card). Rather, I opened these for short terms reasons (a more attractive interest rate), long-term reasons (by debt to available credit ratio) and sometimes for no reason at all.
Ah … what a tangled web of debt we weave …
And while Dave Ramsey might have me sign up for a check card and sacrifice my plastic on a celebratory debt funeral pyre; Suze Orman might have me waking up with night sweats, pondering every fluctuation in my precious FICO score. I'd like to find a middle ground that takes into account the concerns of both of these schools of thought without having to operate at either extreme.
In doing so, I found a very useful article on Bankrate that answered many of the questions I had:
Will closing inactive cards hurt?
Is there ever a reason to close a card?
Does it matter if you or the card issuer closes the account?
Is there any difference in cancelling a store card versus a major credit card?
If a store card is your oldest card and you cancel it, will it hurt you more?
The article sheds some light on these questions and exposes some of the myths that exist surrounding the closing of credit cards (at least as they relate to your credit score). And as a guy getting out of debt, that's my primary concern at this point since I'm no longer actively addicted to plastic.
And even more useful feature of the article is that these questions are actually answered by an actual FICO employee.
My final decision after reading this article – stand pat. I'm certainly not going to close my oldest accounts (that would be most detrimental to my credit score). And keeping my existing accounts doesn't seem to have a measureable negative effect.
While this was a rather anticlimactic process for me (I was actually looking forward to cutting up a few cards as some small token of victory over my long-standing addiction to plastic), I think it's the right one. Of bigger concern to me now is my debt mix (I don't have a mortgage or auto loan) and that one large remaining balance on my Citibank card.
Here's a link to the full article – hope you find it useful!

Reviewby Rebecca Silverman & Jennifer Silverman,
One Piece Color Walk
Artbook 2
Shonen Jump presents Eiichiro Oda's color art for One Piece from the end of the Arlong cycle up through the middle of the Alabasta arc. Also included are some untranslated sketches, early works, and a conversation between Oda and Fujiko Fujio A.
Eiichiro Oda is a rarity these days – a weekly mangaka who declines to use a computer. That makes this collection of his color images – beginning with Arlong's defeat and ending with the start of the Baroque Works battle – all the more refreshing. This is the actual skill of the artist, not a bunch of filters. This is not to say that digital artwork does not require a high level of skill as well – because it absolutely does. What makes Oda's book so enticing is that his hand-colored images have a unity of medium that is often absent in more contemporary manga artbooks, lending this a warmth that his stylized art might otherwise lack.
It is likely that Oda used brush-tip markers to color. The fact that you can make out textures and how the inks soaked into the paper, along with the subtle changes in overlapping colors, support this idea. This adds an authenticity to the pictures that the favored smooth digital style is lacking. While this doesn't speak to his artistic merit, it does provide more depth for budding artists and those who enjoy studying a picture in detail to appreciate, as well as inviting viewers to gaze longer at the page. The level of detail that Oda provides is all the more impressive for the fact that we know he isn't using the tools within Photoshop that allow an artist to easily replicate a pattern.
This detail is undeniably one of Oda's greatest assets as an artist, allowing him to make up for anatomical shortcomings with compositional strength. Take, for example, the image on pages 40 and 41, which I like to think of as "Indiana Jones in Pink." The image depicts the Straw Hat crew pre-Chopper exploring some ruins. Nami and her gun take prominence of place even while not being centered. She is in a dynamic pose, her skirt rucked up, a loaded gun ready for action, and a look of determination on her face. Zolo and Sanji, who share the page with her, are in more passive poses, guiding the eye to Nami. As the eye scans the image from right to left, background increases in complexity, leading the viewer towards the image's end. Where Nami is the most important and largest figure on the right hand side, the background takes precedence on the left hand side, slowly guiding us to the smallest figure on the page, Usopp. Usopp's pink backpack mimics the pink of Nami's accessories, giving the picture continuity that might not otherwise be there. Usopp's attitude of unbridled exploratory joy also serves as a counterpoint to Nami's reserved and cautious body language, creating an inversion between the two halves of the image. While it is possible that Oda was simply told to make Nami look hot, the fact that he composed such a complex image speaks volumes.
Speaking of Nami, one of the perks of this book (for those who care about such things) is that you can watch her breasts inflate as the pages turn. It's subtle, and she is still within the realm of plausibility compared to her current portrayal, but for amusement value, look at the first page and then the last. It's quite the difference. More importantly, you can see Oda becoming increasingly comfortable drawing the female form as he takes fewer pains to cover her up and puts her in more dynamic poses. It is also interesting to note that Zolo frequently has one eye closed – the eye that he will later lose when Oda revamps everyone's character designs.
The book is divided by year in small "chapters." Each cover page has small images of sometimes iconic scenes from the manga and includes splash pages, color manga pages, and cover illustrations. A list in the back catalogs their provenance, but unlike other mangaka, Oda does not comment on each picture. He does provide the occasional remark, but they serve more to showcase his personality than to detail his process, such as "I kind of like trash heaps." The interview, or rather moderated conversation, between himself and one half of the team that created Doraemon, Fujiko Fujio A, is somewhat more enlightening, as it discusses the reasons both men draw manga. Fujio makes some remarks about how shonen has changed since his debut, and Oda's near-worship of the man is abundantly clear. Footnotes are provided for obscure (to a Western audience) references.
If you are a die-hard One Piece fan, you probably want this book. As a collection of Oda's color art, each image with its own unique composition, it is a good investment. A casual fan would need to be fond of the artwork itself, as the extras are interesting but do not shed much light on the man behind the manga and Oda's style is not universally loved. A lot of what makes these illustrations so wonderful is the way the personalities of the characters shine through their depictions. If the Straw Hat crew are your friends too, it might be worth it to pick up this book.
Overall : B+
Story : N/A
Art : A-
+ Compositionally varied and fascinating, personalities of the characters are evident despite a lack of story. Includes a postcard of the cover image.

zfsonlinux and kernel 3.7.8-1-ARCH - up and running
zfsonlinux and kernel 3.7.7-1-ARCH - up and running
A new kernel (3.7.7) was released today for the arch linux. Currently, the zfsonlinux in the aur was not adapted on it. I have updated my zfsonlinux automake tool with a more secure option. Before you are going to rebuild the zfs modules, the tool now exports your zpools and imports them after installing new compiled packages. If you want to do it on your own, there are two new targets available - "import" and "export".
I found a nice like about install zfs on gnulinux.
Now up and running .
zfsonlinux and kernel 3.7.5-1-ARCH - up and running
A new kernel was released today for the arch linux. Currently, the zfsonlinux in the aur was not adapted on it. I really won't blame demizer, i just want to inform the users out there. My zfsonlinux automake tool was updated since there was a bugfix. Now everything should be fine .2013-01-30 22:05
Edit Since today, everything is up and running .
ant system-full-upgradeis doing all for you .
zfsonlinux and kernel 3.7.3-1-ARCH
The new arch kernel 184.108.40.206 has arrived my machines and guess what happens to my zfsonlinux?
Pacman told me "error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)". But this wasn't an error since i know zfsonlinux has dependencies to a well defined kernel number. All i had to do was switching to my zfsonlinux automake utility and run the following steps:
\* ant uninstall \* pacman -Syu \* ant make \* ant clean
Bam, everything is working out of the box and i am really satisfied with this little tool. The effort to keep the system up to date while still having the beloved zfsonlinux working is now a minimal one. And if this is still to much, you can easily fork it and add a "for lazy people" target that is executing the four steps from above - lets see, maybe i will do it .
tool - arch linux zfsonlinux automatically make and install from source
I am using the zfsonlinux for quite a long time now. For nearly a year, i switched machine by machine from different linux distributions to archlinux. Since switching to the cutting edge and uptodate distribution, i build the zfsonlinux from the arch linux aur on my own, update per update. This process was ok since i used zfs only on one machine for a longer time. But at the end of last year a usb harddrive predestined to be a zfs drive. At this time, the zfsonlinux is spreading out over alle machines which ends up in doing the zfsonlinux task machine per machine. Since i am getting tired and frustrated by wasting so much time and doing the same stuff each time, i started to implement a process to build the aur zfsonlinux on an arch linux system automatically.
Today, i am proud to present your the result, an apache ant based make environment. The project is available on github.com.
All you have to do is install apache-ant, clone the previous mentioned repository, change in the cloned repository directory and call ant on your shell. I hope you enjoy it.

How to Remove Tree Sap From Car
Remove Tree Sap From Car
Life at the cabin would not be the same without the majestic 100+ year-old white pines on our property. As awesome as these soaring, scented, swaying beauties are, they do present one big problem – that is; how to remove tree sap from cars parked under them?
After more than a year under the pines, our go-to cabin car was a mess. Knowing it was going to be a total pain in the butt to get the sap off, I did what every serious car enthusiast would do – I ran it through the service station wash a half a dozen times and hoped for the best.
By the time I finally realized the sap wasn't coming off, most of it was very hard and really difficult get off. I did a bit of reading and after trying a few things, I found that a two step process worked best to remove the tree sap.
The first step was to use denatured alcohol and the second was to finish with automotive detailing clay. The alcohol removed the bulk of the sap and the detailing clay cleaned up the inevitable haze that the alcohol sap mixture left behind.
I found that the two step approach was much better than either step by itself. If I used just the solvent (denatured alcohol), the diluted, liquefied sap and alcohol mixture left a nasty, sticky haze that was hard to remove.
If I used just the detailing clay, it took too long to remove large, hard dried deposits, and each deposit used too much of the clay. The answer; use both.
Automotive Detailing Clay, Say What???
If, like me, you had never before heard of Detailing Clay here is a quick description of what it is: Automotive detailing clay is a putty-like compound embedded with very fine abrasives used to clean car finishes. Detailing clay or clay bars are used in the automotive industry to remove fine contaminant from car finishes.
Detailing clay does an excellent job removing contaminants from car finishes and for this project was the perfect solution to remove the trace residue of tree sap left on the car finish after using alcohol.
So, here it is, the CabinDIY 2-step tree sap car removal formula:
- Denatured Alcohol – dissolves and removes most of the sap
- Automotive Detailing Clay – removes residual sap (haze)
The entire process start to finish:
- Wash and rinse car
- Use a denature alcohol (ethanol) soaked rag to liquefy and remove tree sap deposits
- Re-wash car to remove the alcohol and sap solution
- Use automotive detailing clay (clay bar) to remove trace amounts of tree sap (haze)
- Apply car wax or sealant

How to Remove Tree Sap From Car – Step by Step
- Wash car
Using car wash detergent or similar, hand wash car to remove dirt and contaminants. Use two buckets, one for wash and one for rinse, to keep wash soap water cleaner. Thoroughly rinse car after washing.
- Use denatured alcohol to remove tree sap deposits
Using denatured alcohol and a microfiber cloth, rub tree sap deposits to remove. Turn cloth frequently and re-soak with alcohol to reduce residual sap haze left on car finish. Continue removing deposits until all deposits are removed including those on the windshield and glass.
- Re-wash car over areas where alcohol was used
Using fresh soap and water, re-wash the car over the areas where the denatured alcohol was used to remove sap.
- Use detailing clay bar to remove residual tree sap haze
Open clay bar packaging and form detailing clay into a flat pad by kneading bar. Apply soapy water or clay bar lubricating solution prior to using clay on car finish. Once wet, rub clay pad back and forth across car finish using light pressure until surface feels smooth and no longer "catches" on paint surface. I found it helpful to lightly spray water on the car as I used the clay bar. Rinse with clean water after using the clay bar.
Use clay bar on windshield, chrome and plastic trim as well – it works well on remove tree sap haze on most surfaces on the car.
When using detailing clay, understand that dirt and other contaminants stick to the clay. Refresh the clay surface by folding it over and kneading during use to keep clay surface clean. Also, use clay on cleaners surfaces first to help prevent moving dirt and other abrasives to car surfaces. If you use a clay bar on wheels or similar surfaces, you should probably have a dedicated clay bar for those relatively "dirty" surfaces. If the clay falls onto the ground, remove and contaminants or discard clay to prevent damaging paint surfaces.
- Apply car sealant or wax
Restore car finish by re-applying wax or sealant. Follow the directions for the product you are using. I used a silicone based sealant, which can be whipped on, then buffed off once it dries to a slight haze. I used a microfiber cloth to apply and remove the sealant.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I just purchased a beauty, 2006 Lincoln Town Car, black over black in black with tented windows in fantastic condition.
to my shergrim I noticed tree sap and have been seeking ways to rid it from my ride.
Will do as you suggest, looks I have finally found the right answer to my question, thank you again.
- Jason P March 12, 2015
Interesting. Why denatured alcohol (ethanol)? I've been using rubbing alcohol. First I gently pop the sap off with my finger nails than use the alcohol to get up the last underlayer. I do all this right before the car wash!
Any advantage to one kind of alcohol over another? I'll definitely look for the detailing clay.

The Finn, who raced for the Italian marque between 2007 and 2009 before taking a short sabbatical, made a popular return to the sport with Lotus at the beginning of 2012, impressing the paddock with his rapid and consistent performances.
After Red Bull's decision to promote Daniel Ricciardo and Lotus' inability to provide the assurances he has been seeking for the 2014 season, Raikkonen opted to return to the squad where he claimed his sole title in 2007, partnering Fernando Alonso. "I am really happy to be returning to Maranello where I previously spent three fantastic and very successful years," said Raikkonen. "I have so many memories of my time at Ferrari, memories which have stayed with me these past years, first and foremost, winning the World Championship title in 2007, which was really unforgettable.
"I can't wait to be driving a Prancing Horse car again and to reacquaint myself with so many people with whom I had such close links, as well as working with Fernando, whom I consider a great driver, in order to bring the team the success it deserves."
Double World Champion Alonso also acknowledged the 33-year-old's impending arrival, explaining: "I'd like to welcome my new travelling companion: together, starting next year, we will have to tackle a very demanding technical and racing challenge."
In a brief statement at the end of a frenzied period of media speculation, Ferrari said the Finn - who won his world title in a red car in 2007 - will be Fernando Alonso's teammate "for the next two racing seasons".
"Welcome back, Kimi!" read the headline at the Maranello based team's official website.
Raikkonen, now 33, entered a two-year rallying and Nascar sabbatical after the 2009 season, when Ferrari paid out the final year of his contract in order to welcome Alonso and his Spanish sponsor Santander.
It has been reported that Alonso, widely regarded as Ferrari's 'number 1' alongside the now-departing Felipe Massa, strongly resisted the signing of Raikkonen.
Despite having a long contract, he was linked with protest moves to Red Bull, Lotus and even a return to McLaren, where he clashed memorably with boss Ron Dennis and rookie teammate Lewis Hamilton in 2007.
So while Ferrari was welcoming Raikkonen back, Alonso lamented the end of his four-season relationship with Brazilian Massa.
Captioning a photo montage of their time together, Alonso said on Twitter on Wednesday: "All the luck for the next years!
"You will be a strong opponent in any team! And we still have 7 GPs to have some fun!"
And, still referring to Massa, Alonso was quoted by F1's official website: "Come the end of the season, it will not be easy to say goodbye to a teammate like him."
Former F1 team owner and boss Eddie Jordan, however, doubts Raikkonen will cause Alonso any grief.
"Kimi is no politician," he told Germany's Auto Bild. "There will not be any problems if they just let him be.

Hypothyroidism is the low or decreased activity and function of the thyroid gland. It is one of the most common endocrine disorders. Thyroid gland is an endocrine gland present in the neck containing two lobes connected by the isthmus giving an appearance of letter 'H'. Thyroid gland function is to secrete thyroid hormone in order to influence body metabolism and protein synthesis. 'Hypo' in Hypothyroidism means low or less than normal activity and production of thyroid hormone. Hypothyroid condition is also called as underactive thyroid .
What are the symptoms of hypothyroidism ?
Hypothyroidism leads to dryness of skin, increased cholesterol and triglycerides levels, decreased heartbeat(bradycardia), constipation, depressed mood(dementia), decrease in physical activity(fatigue), unexplained weight gain, sensation of cold or sensitivity to cold, pain in joints, hair fall, nails become brittle and anemia.

Any surgery of thyroid gland could lead to low functioning of thyroid gland leading to hypothyroidism. Iodine deficiency is one of the causes for hypothyroidism.Late effects of cancer therapy can also lead to hypothyroidism
Depending on the causative factors, hypothyroidism is of 2 types
Primary hypothyroidism and Secondary hypothyroidism
Primary hypothyroidism causes include autoimmunity such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Atrophic thyroiditis. Iodine deficiency. Infiltrative disorders such as amylodosis, Sarcoidosis, Scleroderma, Haemochromatosis,
Congenital hypothyroidism:absent or ectopic thyroid gland, Dyshormonogenesis, TSH-R mutation
Drugs such as Iodine excess, lithium , antithyroid drugs etc
Iatrogenic causes such as treatment with subtotal or total thyroidectomy, external irradiation of neck for cancer.
Secondary hypothyroidism causative factors are
Hypopituitarism; tumours, pituitary surgery , trauma.
Isolated TSH deficiency or inactivity.
Hypothalamic disease : tumours, trauma, infiltrative disorders, idiopathic.
How is hypothyroidism known ?
Hypothyroidism is diagnosed by assessing the symptoms and blood tests , which measure the amount of Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) , T3 and T4. . In case of Hashimotos's thyroiditis, Anti-thyroid peroxidase test is done to know whether hypothyroidism is due to Hashimoto's thyroiditis.Clinically, Hypothyroidism is defined as an elevated TSH in conjunction with decreased T4 level.
What is the treatment for Hypothyroidism ?
The goal of hypothyroidism treatment is to maintain normal serum TSH levels. Ultimate aim should be treat hypothyroidism completely. It is possible by taking medicines regularly and leading a healthy lifestyle with proper diet and physical exercise.
Homeopathy has excellent medicines proven to efficacy which act deep enough to manage and cure hypothyroidism.

The aim of every homeopath is to reach to the most appropriate remedy in order to bring relief from hypothyroidism.
What if hypothyroidism is not treated or ignored?
Hypothyroidism causes hyperkalemia(increase in potassium levels) leading to atrioventricular block, a heart disease.Hypothyroidism as such does not cause heart failure but it commonly exacerbates heart failure. Cardiac manifestations as a result of hypothyroidism are in the form of bradycardia, hypotension(low B.P--low systolic pressure and high diastolic pressure), pericardial effusion(oedema), dilated cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure.All the heart related problems arise due to reduced cardiac output, decrease in stroke volume, heart rate lessened, systolic blood pressure reduced and drop in pulse pressure.
Hypothyroidism can worsen asthma and other respiratory disorders.
In some patients with hypothyroidism, it seen they have increase in cholesterol and triglycerides levels which could affect heart arteries causing atherosclerotic Coronary artery disease(CAD).
Sleep apnoea is another disorder seen in patients with hypothyroidism.
In some cases, hypothyroidism patients complain of dementia which is reversible dementia. It can also affect taste and smell to some degree. Hypothyroidism is also responsible for euvolemic hyponatremia among other causes.
What is special about treatment for hypothyroidism at POSITIVE HOMEOPATHY?
Positive Homeopathy through its experience in treatment of hypothyroidism and other thyroid diseases has developed perfection in approaching any hypothyroidism patient with early diagnosis, effective treatment plan and management. Patients with hypothyroidism continue taking treatment even after finding their symptoms getting better and blood reports being normal. During the course of treatment, screening of thyroid hormones is done regularly and dose of the medicine is adjusted. A diet regimen required for hypothyroidism control is explained by the doctors. The treatment objective is to build confidence in patients with hypothyroidism by the doctors followed by relief in symptoms to perform daily activities and lead a healthy lifestyle.

Mental symptoms
Sad, sleeplessness, loss of appetite,weeping tendency & soo anxious.
Frequently Asked Qustions
What is underactive thyroid?
Hypothyroidism is also referred to as underactive thyroid because the thyroid gland does not function to its limit and therefore does not produce required levels of hormones.
What is the difference between Hashimoto's thyroiditis and hypothyroidism?
Hashimoto's thyroiditis is one of the causes for primary hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism is a thyroid disorder in which there is deficiency in production of thyroid hormones.
Do i have to be on thyroid medicines for life?
It is a very important doubt a patient of hypothyroidism have as they get fed up taking medicines daily. The treatment of thyroid is to control TSH levels and make the thyroid gland produce enough thyroid hormones. It is possible with Homeopathy to completely stop taking medicines with normal TSH levels provided the patient with hypothyroidism visits a homeopathic doctor in the early stages of disease. It is also possible to cure hypothyroidism if there is willingness and belief in homeopathic doctor. But still, there are some stages of hypothyroidism with causative factors attributed to genetic tendency, complete treatment of hypothyroidism can be challenging.

Green report fingers Eskom
Power supplier Eskom is breaking more environmental laws than any other state corporation, according to the latest National Environmental Compliance and Enforcement Report.
Released by Environment Minister Edna Molewa on Thursday, it also reveals that the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) cannot, under current legislation, prosecute the utility in this regard.
"Eskom remains the organ of state with the highest rate of non-compliance with environmental legislation," according to the report.
Briefing the media in Cape Town on the release of the report, Environmental Management Inspectorate (EMI) acting chief director for enforcement, Frances Craigie, said her organisation - which is more popularly known as the Green Scorpions - was picking up "a lot of non-compliances" by Eskom.
"We have initiated some criminal investigations against them, but what the NPA said to us is that they cannot prosecute Eskom because... it's an organ of state, as defined in our National Environment Management Act (Nema)."
This was something the EMI was looking at, "and seeing whether that can be amended... next year".
According to the report, section 48 of the Nema in effect absolves so-called organs of state from criminal liability.
According to the report, the Green Scorpions found problems at the utility's Lethabo power station in the Free State, its Matimba power station in Limpopo, and the Camden power station in Mpumalanga.
In the case of the latter, where "criminal enforcement was initiated", the environmental non-compliance included, among other things, "exceedances of the emission limits set" and "lack of monitoring and reporting greenhouse gas annually", as well as "significant non-compliances to conditions of authorisations".
The 68-page report, which covers the period April 1, 2011, to March 31 this year, is the sixth issued since the inception of the EMI.
On the NPA's declining to prosecute in relation to the Camden power station, it indicated that the department of environmental affairs would now "pursue criminal proceedings against specific individuals" in their private capacities.
The report found that the number of so-called section 24G applications submitted by Eskom "are evident of continued non-compliance".
A section 24 G application is one made by a company for "rectification of unlawful commencement or continuation not listed activities". It has been described as a legal loophole that allows companies to commence an activity without the necessary environmental authorisation, incurring only an administrative fine for doing so.
The report found Eskom had paid in excess of R2 million in section 24G fines (four cases) "in relation to commencing listed activities without the required authorisation".
Eskom was not immediately available for comment.
Craigie said criminal investigations had been started against two big companies operating in Gauteng: Arcelor Mittal, in Vanderbijlpark; and, BHP Billiton Metalloys, in Meyerton.
She said a policy of helping corporations identify environmental compliance problems and then granting them a period of time to become compliant, was not working.
"What we've found is that this period of time hasn't brought them into compliance, and they haven't met the commitments they made to us, therefore we have to move, with regard to a lot of these big companies, into both criminal and administrative enforcement," she said.
Craigie said that in the criminal investigation started against BHP Billiton, "no subpoenas have been served, but the actual investigation is almost finalised".
She said both BHP Billiton and Arcelor Mittal had been "offered opportunity to come into compliance" since 2007.
According to the report, the problems at BHP Billiton's Meyerton site included "historical waste disposal sites which are unlined, still not rehabilitated and creating potential for groundwater pollution".
On Arcelor Mittal's Vanderbijlpark site, it found that a criminal investigation "has recently been initiated in respect of the non-compliances and ongoing incidents at the site".
Neither BHP Billiton nor Arcelor Mittal were available for comment. - Sapa

- Extremely durable, does not kink and remains flexible even in cold weather.
- This inside of the tubing has a smooth bore finish so there is less resistance which makes your aeration system more efficient.
- Allows for easier installation, placement and maintenance of diffusers without the hassle of bricks and ties to keep tubing in place.
Will this work in salt water? How about a retention pond or wastewater lagoon?
Yes. MixAirTech Sinking Hose is suitable for any aquatic environment including freshwater, salt water, wastewater or retention ponds.
What diameter hose should I purchase?
Larger tubing creates less friction & reduces back pressure.
Smaller diameter tubing works well for short, shallow runs; however as the length and/or number of diffusers increases, you will want to increase the diameter of the hose.
Does MixAir Sinking hose kink?
No. MixAir Sinking hose does not kink. It remains flexible in a wide range of temperatures and is designed to be maintenance-free while greatly reducing installation time.
Does MixAir Sinking Hose contain any metals?
No. All MixAir Sinking Hose is safe and metal free. It is specifically designed for & safe to use in ponds.
Can I use standard poly air tubing for some of the install?
Yes. Some installers will use less expensive tubing on shore and/or in the ground, and then switch to weighted tubing when they reach the water.
You can connect the different types of tubing with an appropriately-sized hose barb fitting and set of clamps from your local hardware store.
Can I bury MixAir sinking hose?
Yes. MixAir sinking hose is durable & it is a relatively common practice to bury hose between the compressor/manifold & diffusers.
Will the hose freeze up in the winter?
The hose itself will function fine in freezing temperatures, however if there is condensation or standing water in the line that can be problematic.
How deep should I bury the hose?
We recommend burying it below the frost line in your area - this prevents problems if standing water & condensation should form in the line during freezing temperatures.

All 30 years of my life, my fluctuating weight has been a source of angst and overall uneasiness for me. Even as a child, I'd dread physicals and checkups, knowing that I'd hear the same refrain: "You need to lose weight." In my preteens I'd already been on SlimFast (didn't work out so well), and in my late teens, I successfully lost 50 pounds, due to spending my whole summer with my vegan mother. Still, maintaining that weight loss proved to be a challenge as the worries of being a grown-up weighed on me. I later deserted my lifestyle changes and began to lean heavily on my emotional drug -- food. The weight gain didn't hesitate to follow.
Postpartum, managing my weight became a horse of a different color. Before, I always knew that I could shed a few pounds with diet change and working out. But now, after pregnancy and a C-section, I had to be more sedentary than I'd ever been. If not, my incision wouldn't heal. I'd lost a good amount of weight after birth, but it didn't last long. I could barely move. Even now, I know my body isn't the same as it once was. Because of this, I couldn't rely as heavily on working out to get my body in the shape I'd like it to be in.
"Abs are made in the kitchen." "Weight loss is 75 percent diet, 25 percent exercise." I'm sure everyone's heard these quotes before. This gives rise to the many popular diets that claim to help people lose tens of pounds in a matter of weeks. Even without the exercise, the diets themselves appear to help quickly burn fat. All over YouTube, my favorite influencers' bodies are melting rapidly and they all attribute it to one diet: the ketogenic diet. It seems to be a new and improved version of low-carb diets, like the Atkins diet. For moms who are interested, or already practicing the keto diet, here are some yummy recipes that can be prepared in 30 minutes or less.
Macro Pancakes1
I think it's safe to say that pancakes are everyone's guilty pleasure (besides waffles). They're super yummy, but after eating them we're almost always full and almost always feeling guilty. Not with these keto-friendly "macro" cakes. They're super thin, resembling crepes, and are low in sugar and carbs!
Get the recipe here.
Bread-Free Breakfast Sandwich2
Just looking at this sandwich, I feel full. It looks so hearty, which is a good thing because the morning is the best time to eat something filling. We usually choose something super unhealthy, like a croissant or a bagel, with a bunch of cheese and bacon, but this alternative is healthier, and just as filling.
Get the recipe here.
Salmon-Filled Avocados3
Salmon and avocados are two naturally fatty foods, but they contain the good type of fat that our body needs. Because a body in a ketosis state is fueled by fat exclusively, a meal like this is an essential for a mom on the keto diet.
Get the recipe here.
Cashew Chicken4
This cashew chicken dish reminds me of some of my favorite meals from the Chinese take-out I used to eat growing up. But those meals were fattening and fried and poured over rice. This version subtracts the rice and adds a couple of our favorite veggies in the mix.
Get the recipe here.
Sugar-Free Ketchup5
There are so many condiments and sauces that we can't eat when we're on diets. Ketchup is high on that list because it's usually full of sugar. What a great idea it was to come up with this no-sugar alternative as a guilt-free pleasure for dieters.
Get the recipe here.
Chicken Club Stuffed Avocados6
Part of the idea behind the keto diet is to include plenty of healthy fats while cutting back on carbs. That's why so many recipes feature avocados. This recipe gives you all the taste of a chicken club sandwich but -- say it with me -- minus the bread.
Get the recipe here.
Cheesy Cauliflower Crust Breadsticks7
I love the idea of this meal! On an especially lonely, or quiet night, the craving to order some breadsticks or pizza can be quite strong. This meal is that, minus the guilt. The crust is made out of a vegetable, for crying out loud (feels weird even saying it).Get the recipe here.
Chicken BLTA Wraps8
I've seen people eat their sandwiches or burgers without the bread or with a lettuce wrap, and I always wished I could have that desire or craving. But after getting used to not eating bread for a while, I could see how the idea of this could be appetizing. The avocado (the A at the end of BLT) probably adds a measure of weight to this dish to give the filling sensation the bread might have.
Get the recipe here.
Garlic Chive Butter Steak9
Growing up, I didn't eat a lot of meat, especially red meat. Because my mom was vegetarian -- and later vegan -- most of my life, I stuck to poultry and seafood. A few years, and a few visits to Fogo de Chao later, the concept of making Brazilian-style steak in my own home sounds pretty appetizing.
Get the recipe here.
Crab Rangoon Fat Bomb10
A big part of the keto diet and promoting ketosis of the body is consuming fat bombs. One of the benefits is that they supposedly keep you full longer and give you a sense of satisfaction. Pinterest and Google searches provide many, many fat bomb recipes. This one is supposed to echo the taste of crab Rangoon.Get the recipe here.
"Just Like the Real Thing" Keto Lasagna11
Good old lasagna! (Writing this makes me feel extremely greedy, by the way. Have I ever even talked or written this much about food?) Lasagna is that comfort food that feels so good going down, but so terrible a slice or two later. I wonder if this low-carb version offers the same taste minus the bloating. The title says its "just like the real thing." Somebody will have to report back and let us know.
Get the recipe here.
Shrimp Lettuce Tacos with Mango Salsa12
This dish seems like it will be extremely light and refreshing. The salsa is a great tropical touch. I'm starting to like the idea of using lettuce in place of bread. It's a great way to work in the vegetables while still getting flavor from the meat or seafood.
Get the recipe here.
Carnitas Nachos13
This recipe replaces the tortilla chips usually used in nachos with pork rinds. It's funny because I'd never think that pork rinds were healthy, but in a keto world, fat rules. One of my fondest childhood memories is sitting in my grandmother's living room while she would do Bible study and crunch on pork rinds. They were her favorite. Another fond memory is the nachos phase I went through for years where I'd always order nachos when I went out. I'm tempted.
Get the recipe here.
Cauliflower Fried Rice14
The vegetable we used to make the crust of our breadsticks earlier returns for a second time. It's the humble cauliflower -- broccoli's cousin. Anyway, this recipe uses cauliflower as a rice substitute. I'd definitely like to try this and see if it actually tastes like rice. If it does, I'm going to trick my rice-obsessed husband into eating it.
Get the recipe here.
Crispy KFC: Keto Fried Chicken15
Who doesn't love fried chicken? Whoever that person is, I don't trust him. Whether people love KFC or Popeyes chicken is always up for debate, but this version of KFC should be able to please both sides of the argument. Not only that, the breading is low-carb because it's made from almond flour, whey protein, and a lot of seasoning. Everybody wins.
Get the recipe here.
Lemon Garlic Butter Shrimp with Zucchini Noodles16
At my local Wegman's, I've seen prepackaged zucchini noodles and said to myself, "Those can't possibly compare to my angel hair or spaghetti noodles." But, with sufficient seasoning and shrimp, I could see the taste factor being elevated. And I guess one could always imagine they were eating spaghetti while eating these pasta-shaped veggies.
Get the recipe here.
Beef Enchiladas17
¡Ay, Dios mío! Mexican food without breaking my diet? These beef enchiladas really look like they might be tasty. I'm still not used to the idea of eating foods with cheese in them and over them while you're trying to lose weight, but I'm getting it. This ketogenic diet reminds me a lot of Atkins.
Get the recipe here.
Cauliflower "Mac" and Cheese18
Mac and cheese is another guilty pleasure dish that I put in the same category with lasagna. It tastes so good, but instantly feels so bad. It's essential during that time of the month. Cauliflower and cheese, although it doesn't have the same ring as "mac and cheese," definitely might be our new "cheat meal" without actually cheating!
Get the recipe here.
Cookie Dough Bites19
We couldn't go through all that food and not have any dessert. Granted, the idea of dessert seems to go counter to the whole concept of the keto diet, where we are trying to basically starve the body of any glucose or sugar. Imagine my surprise when, not only seeing the words "keto" and "low carb" in this recipe's title, but also seeing that it was actually sugar-free. The list of ingredients is pretty interesting -- but, hey -- if we can have something sweet and still lose weight, I'd say its worth a try.
Get the recipe here.
Berry Cheesecake20
Sometimes a sweet tooth starts getting so cranky that a small bite of sugar-free "cookie dough" isn't enough to appease it. Here's where having the recipe for an entire sugar-free cheesecake (that miraculously, takes only 10 minutes to prepare), comes in handy.

Will there be an end?
That is not for me to decide - but instead to be decided by time itself.
Which should be interesting, because while he is always the same - sometimes he seems to move slowly, or seems to move quickly - oft-times depending on some random thing we call "fun".

say it
An addiction to the light that shines in people's eyes when you knock them off their script.
The sun violently throwing itself at the window,
the road you take to the office inexplicably carpeted by
vines overnight,
your car an adult-sized tricycle.
THAT kind of aggression: pots and pans as alarm clock
(You're burning daylight!)
This is the gift that was prophesied
the one that only has to make sense if you want it to.
Strong preferences for smashed-up teleprompters, an
acquired taste for the sharp edge of a
waking dream.

bond discount(redirected from Bond Discounts)
Bond discount
The difference by which a bond's market price is lower than its face value. The antithesis of a bond premium, which prevails when the market price of a bond is higher than its face value. See: Original issue discount.
Bond Discount
A situation in which a bond's market value is lower than its face value. Short-term bonds are often issued at a bond discount, especially if they are zero-coupon bonds. However, bonds on the secondary market may trade at a bond discount, which occurs when supply exceeds demand. A bond discount is likely when the issuer has poor or recently downgraded credit, or when current interest rates are higher than the bond's. See also: Unamortized bond discount.

I haven't done much work with essential oils, but my dear friend, Ben Lee, knows the world about them! He carries essences around with him as I do my rock friends (I am typically weighed down by pockets full of crystals!). To be near Ben is to be enveloped in a cloud of scent and infused by his exquisite enthusiasm for this healing modality. We went headlong into conversation about possibilities of combining oils with crystals for an even deeper healing experience. He asked me what some typical blockages are that I come across during Healing Excavations. Well, as anyone who's done an Excavation knows, resistance is the primary blockage for us all, but below that resistance we feel as we are about to excavate a piece of pain from our systems, the top few issues I've seen are:
blockages of abundance and career
issues of childhood relationship with the father
issues of childhood relationship with the mother
compulsion towards self-punishing & self-sabotage
Ben did some research and found complimentary oils to help alleviate these blockages. I co-ordinated these with crystals whose vibration can provide similar support. They are:
abundance = wild orange = citrine and/or peridot
father = frankincense = sunstone
mother = myrrh = selenite
self-punishing = cassia = blue chalcedony and/or aragonite
I plan to experiment with these allies over the coming months and see if anything pops out as super helpful. It's so exciting to play in new ways!
