Guest Reviews
Wonderful tour- Kintamani, Barong, Ubud etc.
I had such a great experience on this tour. Wonderful private Kintamani Tour. The tour covered so much of Bali in a short amount of time. I was really impressed. I visited the volcano(kintamani), saw a Barong dance, saw the beautiful rice terraces in Ubud (breathtaking!), visited a Hindu temple, visited a coffee plantation, tested 12-15 types of coffee, and visited a few shops/factories.
Very well organised and interesting attractions.
This was a great day - well worthwhile. Very good guide and very interesting attractions. The view at the Volcano was awesome and the buffet lunch was very good. It was well paced and value for money. The Ubud artisans were very interesting and they were not pushy for sales which we appreciated. The Barong Dance show was very professional and worth seeing - very well organised. Yes recommended- you won't be disappointed - do it!.
Guide was knowledgeable, and fairly co-operative.
A worthwhile full day tour; we were not rushed but still managed to get to everything in enough time. Fortunately, the weather provided perfect viewing of the volcano and we saw plenty of the surrounding countryside with informative snippets thrown in. The coffee plantation visit was particularly interesting; we had the chance to sample several types of coffee. The tour was good value for money & I have already passed this on to friends who plan to visit Bali later this year.
Amazing experience! Personalised and very informative.
I am very pleased with this day tour. First of all, we had an excellent guide. He was very friendly and knowledgable, and provided us with a lot of interesting insights about Bali. This made me even more fascinated by this island. He was also very helpful in answering our questions and bringing us to shops.
Secondly, the places we visited (rice paddies, Mt Batur, coffee plantation) struck us with awe. The rice paddies were vast and verdant. It was truly a sight to behold. As for Mt Batur, it was breathtaking and we were reluctant to leave. The air was fresh and cooling. For an affordable and totally worth bill of 100,000 rp per person, we got to enjoy the buffet with the mountain and lake right behind us. Talk about dining with a view! Try the sate lilit and spring rolls!
The coffee plantation visit exceeded my expectations. It not only grew coffee beans but also a multitude of different flowers that were used in teas, such as Rosella, ginger, and lemon grass. It was remarkable. We sampled 12 different teas and their special coffee made by beans yielded from the feces of Luak. The teas were an awakening of the palate. I also got to see how the coffee beans were roasted and had a chance to grind the beans!
Lastly, the reason why I had a whale of a time in Bali was because of the locals! They were very friendly. Food was cheap and good too.
Sandi is a splendid guide. We'd be glad to have him bring us around again the next time we come back! .

Prep: 20 minutes; Cook: 10 minutes.
Andrea's wine pick: A floral, juicy Riesling will tone down the kick of the Pad Thai's red pepper while complementing the sweetness of the shrimp. Try the peachy Leitz Dragonstone Riesling from Germany (about $16).
How to Make It
Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Remove from heat, and add the rice noodles, stirring to separate. Soak 5-7 minutes or until tender; then drain the noodles and rinse in cold water. Set aside.
Mix fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and crushed red pepper in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add egg and cook quickly, until opaque. Move to side. Add frozen shrimp to skillet, and cook 5-7 minutes or until just cooked through. Drain excess liquid. Add garlic, and stir-fry 1 minute.
Add remaining oil and then noodles. Stir-fry noodles quickly until softened, about 2 minutes. Add sauce mixture. Coat the noodles evenly, stirring until heated through. Stir in green onions and bean sprouts, if desired, and cook 2 more minutes. Mound on serving platter, and garnish with peanuts, lime wedges, and cilantro.

One thing to think about during your college search would be how study abroad in or out of country can impact your college years in ways you can't even yet imagine. Here's how it did for me:
Study Abroad Changed My Wheaton College Experience
As an Anthropology major, I am interested in the study of humankind, in particular the comparative study of human societies and cultures and their development. The opportunity to study abroad taught me to understand what my life is like in relation to the rest of the world, what is shaping me and how I am shaping others. As a result of these experiences I have been exposed to so many different ways of living and have made connections with people that are valuable, filled with wisdom, even transforming.
Studying abroad, whether through the Wheaton in Mexico program, or closer to 'home' through the Wheaton in Chicago program, impacted my Wheaton College experience, by teaching me to understand reality in a much broader sense:
1) Not everyone speaks my language
2) Not everyone orders their day around three square meals
3) I am in a position that is seen as very privileged to the rest of the world (and I agree)
4) I have a different personality/persona when I speak Spanish
5) Many people live a life that is filled with lots of stimulation, a real eye opener
6) Political problems are played out in very real, tangible ways for people in cities
How Wheaton in Chicago is Distinct from a Typical Study Abroad Program
Following a study abroad semester through Wheaton College's Wheaton in Mexico experience, Chicago didn't seem too scary. They speak my language (usually), they have the stores I'm accustomed to, and I can cook my own typical food. Yet, the more I tried to move about the city of Chicago, the more it felt foreign. This is the beauty of studying in a place outside your usual comfort zone. Instead of simply learning about a place from a book, by being in the place for an extended period of time, one's daily acquisition of knowledge takes on a tangible form. In order for me to get through my day I had to learn how to navigate the complicated world of public transportation. I had to figure out how to walk by people living on the streets. I had to ascertain what people meant when they said seemingly typical (to them) things like, "Oh, they are from the south side" or "Let's spend a day in Wicker Park."
Another distinction between Wheaton in Chicago and many other study abroad programs was the fact that I was living with other Wheaton students instead of a host family which I really enjoyed. Yet having an internship in Chicago also allowed me to hang out with and work beside Chicagoans and learn about their lives and city routines.
Although Chicago was a domestic study abroad program, it was still a learning experience. The city is so different from the suburbs. Initially, the suburbs were designed to be an escape from the city. And even though this was the original intent of the suburbs, I felt myself smiling with excitement every time I came back into the city after visiting Wheaton or other suburbs. There is so much life, activity, and diversity in the city. The opportunities are endless.
Unexpected Challenges of the City
One of the funniest parts about being in Chicago is understanding public transit behavior. Do you smile as you pass the other passengers? Do you look above the person sitting right in front of you? Do you look down at your phone the whole time? Do you start a conversation with someone next to you? How loud do you speak with your friends on transit? All of these behaviors had to be learned by spending time on the train as Chicagoans teach you their ways.
A Typical Day
My typical day looked like this: I woke up at 5:50 a.m. to go to a boot camp workout at the rock climbing gym; downed a breakfast smoothie; got ready for my internship with ElevArte. I packed a lunch, caught the red line train at 8:45 a.m., and transferred to the 18 bus at Roosevelt to arrive just before 10 a.m. Once in the office I organized volunteers for events and collaborated with coworkers until 4 p.m. After the same commute back to my apartment, I prepared and ate dinner, and headed to class until 10 p.m. After I arrived back at my apartment, I enjoyed laughter and good conversation with my roommates over a bowl of popcorn, normally falling dead asleep around 11:30 p.m. The 2016 Wheaton in Chicago team was blessed when Emerald City Coffee opened up a new shop in the "Uptown" neighborhood where we lived. Lots of hours of studying and tea drinking were spent there with friends. The big windows, dark wood and sweet baristas made that place my favorite study spot.
So, my advice to you? Study abroad, far or near, can impact your college years in ways you can't yet imagine. If you have the chance, do it!

Stock exchange symbol: (BP/:LN)
Does your company have a publicly available commitment to respect human rights?
Yes, stand-alone human rights policy: [link]
BP's human rights policy elaborates on the requirement within our code of conduct to treat everyone at BP - and everyone with whom we come into contact - with fairness, respect and dignity
This policy applies to every BP employee and officer in BP wholly-owned entities, and in joint ventures to the extent possible and reasonable given BP's level of participation. It contains the following seven commitments:
• We conduct our business in a manner that respects the rights and dignity of all people, complying with all legal requirements.
• We respect internationally recognized human rights, as set out in the International Bill of Human Rights and the International Labour Organization's declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.
• We recognize our responsibility to respect human rights and avoid complicity in human rights abuses, as stated in the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
• We treat everyone who works for BP fairly and without discrimination. Our employees, agency staff and suppliers are entitled to work in an environment and under conditions that respect their rights and dignity.
• We respect freedom of association. Where our employees wish to be represented by trade unions or works councils, we will cooperate in good faith with the bodies that our employees collectively choose to represent them within the appropriate national legal frameworks.
• We respect the rights of people in communities impacted by our activities. We will seek to identify adverse human rights impacts and take appropriate steps to avoid, minimize and/or mitigate them.
• We will seek to make contractual commitments with suppliers that encourage them to adhere to the same principles.
See also: Code of Conduct [link]
How are human rights governed in your company?
We have created an action plan designed to achieve closer alignment with the Guiding Principles over a number of years and plan to monitor the effectiveness of these actions. Senior representatives from key functions, including human resources, ethics and compliance, procurement, security and safety and operational risk oversee the implementation. Progress is reported to the group operations risk committee, which is chaired by BP's group chief executive.
How are human rights managed within your company?
We work with industry groups to help develop and drive good practice guidance. For example, we have helped lead the development of IPIECA's guidance on integrating human rights into environmental and social impact assessments. While BP has previously conducted dedicated human rights impact assessments and has considered human rights as part of other impact assessments, this is a complex topic, and we hope that the new guidance will make it easier for practitioners to bring a human rights lens to the process.
As a multinational oil and gas company, human rights are relevant to aspects of our business activities, so we are using a risk-based approach to achieve closer alignment with the UN Guiding Principles. We are working with key functions and selected priority businesses to raise awareness of potential human rights impacts and risks, and our responsibility to address these, as outlined in BP's human rights policy. At our training sessions this year we found that discussing human rights in practical terms, such as workforce welfare land acquisition and security, and analysing specific examples or scenarios from business, helped participants to better understand the relationship between business and human rights.
What is the company's approach to the engagement of stakeholders (including workers, and local communities impacted by the company's activities), on human rights issues?
Our ability to operate safely and continuously depends not only on obtaining the necessary official permits from the authorities, but also on the informal permission or social licence to operate that communities in the surrounding area can choose to give or withhold.
BP's activities have the potential to impact communities positively and negatively. Projects that are subject to our environmental and social practices ([link]) are required to conduct impact assessments. We consult with communities about potential environmental and socio-economic impacts and develop plans to manage these.
For examples of our community engagement see here: [link]
Priority human rights issues: What are some of the priority human rights issues for your company?
The company selected the following from a check list:
- Health (including workplace health & safety, prevention of pollution)
- Displacement and community relocation
- Relations with security providers
- Indigenous peoples
Actions on health
Safety is one of BP's values, and everything BP aims to do relies upon the safety of our workforce and the communities around us. Our operating management system contains requirements related to risk assessment, personal safety, process safety and health and industrial hygiene, which help us to operate effectively and reliably.
How we manage safety [link]
As part of our environmental and social practices, we seek to prevent, manage or mitigate potential impacts on community health, through project screening, impact assessment and mitigations.
Actions on displacement and community relocation
Our environmental and social practices require that projects do not permanently move a community from its principal place of dwelling. If no workable alternative can be found, projects can seek senior management approval for an exception to this requirement, subject to appropriate community consultation, impact mitigation measures and any other approvals required under local laws.
Land acquisition and resettlement [link]
Community engagement [link]
In two projects where physical or economic displacement occurred, our multi-year resettlement action plans were evaluated and reported on by independent panels.
Tangguh resettlement action plan [link]
BTC resettlement action plans [link]
Actions on access to water
We have commissioned research on the governance, allocation and use of water in the Middle East. This will provide BP with improved understanding of how water resources will be allocated between communities, agriculture, energy and industry.
Actions on relations with security providers
Where risk assessments indicate it is needed, we seek to engage with the security forces that protect our assets to help them understand the human rights of our workforce and communities living near our operations and to interact responsibly with them.
Wherever possible we seek to prevent the use of armed security personnel. For example, at our LNG plant in Tangguh, Indonesia we train community members to carry out site security activities.
Security and human rights [link]
Actions on indigenous peoples
We acknowledge the importance of respecting the unique cultures and ways of life of indigenous communities. BP projects subject to our environmental and social practices are required to identify, understand and manage potential impacts on indigenous peoples, including developing a consultation plan and impact mitigation measures that take account of local circumstances, customs and culture.
Indigenous peoples [link]
Community engagement: Community consultation in Indonesia [link]
How are human rights commitments and information about how the company addresses its human rights impacts communicated, internally and externally?
BP's sustainability reporting suite includes a concise, downloadable Sustainability Review, full reporting on the BP website, country reports and site reports. See [link] [link] [link]
Our online reporting also includes tools and case studies, which demonstrate our sustainability efforts in action around the world. See [link] [link]
Our reporting is aimed at our key stakeholders - those who are affected by our organization and who affect us. Our primary audiences for this report are employees, shareholders and analysts, governments and regulators, business partners, non-governmental organizations, the local communities in which we operate and industry associations.
Our ability to operate safely and continuously depends not only on obtaining the necessary official permits from the authorities, but also on the informal permission or social licence to operate that communities in the surrounding area can choose to give or withhold.
BP's activities have the potential to impact communities positively and negatively. Projects that are subject to our environmental and social practices are required to conduct impact assessments.

What provisions does your company have in place to ensure that grievances from workers and affected communities or individuals are heard, and can you provide examples of remedies provided?
We believe that open dialogue helps to build strong, mutually beneficial working relationships, and enables both sides to work through any disagreements.
Our operating managing system ([link]) requires our businesses to have a process for receiving communications from key communities and stakeholders and to document responses. In 2013, most of the complaints raised by communities living near our major operating sites were related to operational impacts such as odour and noise. Our businesses are also required to record and take action on any external commitments they make to key communities and stakeholders.
We are working with oil and gas industry association IPIECA to develop guidance on managing community grievances. This is expected to be finalized in 2014, and we plan to test its suitability for incorporation into our training and capability development.
IPIECA Operational level grievance mechanisms [link]
Which external and collaborative human rights initiatives does your company participate in, and what is the nature of your involvement?
We are a signatory to two voluntary agreements with implications for specific aspects of human rights: the UN Global Compact, which includes principles on protecting internationally proclaimed human rights, and the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights, which define good practice for security operations in the extractive industry.
We work with industry groups to help develop and drive good practice guidance. For example, we have helped lead the development of IPIECA's guidance on integrating human rights into environmental and social impact assessments.
Which are the key one, two or three elements of your approach to human rights that been developed or amended since June 2011? Please indicate if these actions were in response to the UN Guiding Principles.
Planned action for 2013:
Develop and implement human rights training for high-priority businesses and functions
What we did:
- Conducted 21 dedicated human rights training events for more than 400 people, including workshops for senior leaders in Indonesia and the Middle East and awareness and sensitization training for people in priority job types and businesses.
- Developed human rights material for use in existing training programmes.
Planned action for 2013:
Develop guidance on community grievance processes and integrating human rights into impact assessments
What we did:
- Worked with oil and gas industry association IPIECA to help develop industry guidance and tools for community grievance mechanisms and for integration of human rights into environmental and social impact assessments.
- Included human rights in our impact assessment for the LNG expansion project in Tangguh, Indonesia.
Planned action for 2013:
Embed human rights requirements into our procurement and supply chain management processes
What we did:
- Developed a pre-qualification questionnaire for suppliers in our Downstream business that included aspects of human rights.
- Participated in IPIECA's supply chain taskforce on developing shared industry approaches to managing human rights risks in the supply chain.
- Developed minimum workforce welfare standards for our Oman Khazzan project that set requirements for contractors with respect to the working and living conditions of the project workforce.

Investment Property Tax
Property Tax Accountant in Sydney
Any accountant will tell you that property is a popular form of investment as it offers stability, simplicity and the strong likelihood of good tax returns, especially in a strong housing market such as Sydney´s. There are also a variety of taxation options available that can help you maximise your income from property investment.
Deductions and Depreciation
There is a wide range of expenses associated with property that can be claimed as a tax deduction from your overall income. This can include items such as insurance, maintenance and council rates. You can also claim for depreciation on the property´s furnishings, appliances and any systems that are installed in the premises such as air conditioning.
Capital Gains Tax
This is the tax that is incurred on the sale of an asset, for example, property or goodwill. It applies to the difference between its original purchase price and its sale price – in other words, to the profit. However, there are circumstances which can reduce or minimise this tax, and different decisions about how to use your property have different tax implications.
Negative gearing
This is a property purchase strategy in which you use debt to minimise your income tax. It works like this: you take out a loan to buy a property. The rent you receive for the property, which is counted as income by the taxation department, ends up being less than you pay in interest on your loan. This difference is recorded as an annual loss and deducted from your annual income, which reduces the amount of income tax you pay for that year.
There is some risk involved, however, as it depends on you being able to sell the property at a good profit. If you hold on to the property for over a year after the original purchase, you can reduce the amount of capital gains tax you pay as well.
Though this strategy offers great tax benefits, you should seek professional advice before taking this course.
Contact Us
At Gotsis Accounting, we give thorough and professional advice. Our accountants can advise you on all property tax return matters and tailor our recommendations to suit your situation if you live in Sydney, Drummoyne or surrounding areas. We can also help with self-managed super funds and anything else you may need financial advice with.
If you'd like to find out more about how we can help you, give us a call or come in and see us at our office in Five Dock, Sydney. You can learn more about us here.

Enticing Topic Lines
The initial consideration when building a successful mailing marketing campaign will likely be the subject matter lines. It's an place much too often glossed over. It all essentially appears to be irrelevant unless you view it as the only way you could get anyone to open up any correspondence. Thinking that visitors are likely to be thrilled at discovering your e-mails show up given that they signed up could be a critical error. Unless you have already acquired a stellar popularity , quite a few website visitors add your email with a confident but skeptical mental attitude toward subscriber list. They really want it all to turn into a wonderful experience , but come with terribly negative fears caused by the vast amount of what amounts to paper junk mail appearing persistently via both opt-in lists and simple spam e-mail. With no appealing , and captivating topic line, your email can be way too easily dumped , or perhaps worse yet , relegated into the junk mail file.
Start out thinking of the subject line associated with your e mail as the catch for your email. Actually tell them what an beneficial concept that you've got waiting for them all. Be advised though , that catch is really a two-way street. It better deliver the results or it truly is even worse than a weak subject matter line.
Look for Spammy Filter Phrases
There are particular keywords which activate trash filters in the majority of web mail inboxes. Superior internet users at present are familiar with the many spammy e mail senders, and initialize automated filter systems to halt mail messages formulated with key phrases that tend to come with these types of transmissions. Keep away from words like cost-free earn money and also many of these signals as "make income or perhaps work from your own home. "
There are barrels of words which are very likely to induce their junk e-mail filtration system , it's not easy to prevent them all. Getting to know what are the trigger words and phrases usually are which most closely relate to your theme may reduce the field considerably . Nevertheless , also be sure you suggest clients to set the email address contact information on his or her e-mail list so in case you accidentally put in a junk posts trigger, it ought to manifest for them .
Addressing the specific situation
It usually is ideal whenever you can employ a proper person's name when it comes to the actual message . Web mail list applications that are generally developed to guide you build your entire campaign also possess the ability to insert individualized information and facts within a correct field locations as long as you have got all of them established up appropriately . Take the a little time so that you can include such specifics so that all of your e-mail sincerely appear genuine rather than looking the same as a form letter .
Provide Real Details
Once you bring subscribers inside your message it is now time for you to absolutely sparkle . Electronic mail marketing and advertising operates best when you extend your readers useful thoughts in addition to tips . Some of the most effective styles I've received incorporate unique information not to mention tales which We may connect to . Many viewers think the same way.

Making use of the actual Strength of the actual E mail to help Bring Customers to Your Internet site The very best internet mail sales people recognize the best way to use imaginative written content to present valuable products and services not to mention articles and reviews on their own web sites .

Even though basically incorporating a single or maybe a bit more backlinks to your site at just the lower part of an electronic mail might offer a little bit of impact , you are going to in all likelihood gather significantly more interest when you present a trick , or message that goes together with each and every hyperlink , and use the item so that you can cause your reader showing an interest in finding out just what exactly is at the other end of the particular web page link to solve the particular problem connected with the scenario or perhaps help all of them utilize a point .

The smallest market caps, or extremely low volume, low dollar volume, 5 letter symbols no good, too unpredictable, and the big caps are too slow going up but very safe.
Its nice to see a p/e no mater how high or low. $3 $5 $10 $20/share or higher is better.
I start with a small position. If I see a new position climbing, 6-8-or 10%, I double the shares and cut the % gain in half, (that's my cushion if it drops and then sell at break even) and keep laddering up.
Stocks I've been on and adding funds since Dec bottom:
AG, CDE, (silver)
SAND (royalty)
AGI (gold) and
NSU (copper)
NUGT (gold vegas money)
Recently added and slightly higher,
DRD, BTG, KLDX (gold) and
SWC (platinum)
CLF (coal, Steel).
Also have these for Vegas money,
GSS, VGZ, ARCTF (gold) and
TZA (small cap short).
Stocks I had once and regret selling.
SBGL, MUX, KGC, HMY, (gold)
TCK, (coal plus)
RYI, (Metals distributer)
CLF, (steel coal, bought it back)
Others I like and watch,
AEM, SLW, PAAS, EXK, ASM, IPOAF (silver)
NEM, ABX, GOLD, TAHO, SBGL, GORO, RIC, AUY, NGD, NGLOY, PVG, TRX (gold)
SWHC, RGR, (gun sales)
TBT (bond short, likes higher rates)
SLCA, EMES, HCLP, OKE (energy fracking)
UGAZ (vegas, nat gas bull)
Ones OK, from your list,
AG, CDE, HL, FSM, SVMLF, GPL, (silver)
IAG, MUX, GSS, AKG, AXU, (gold)
WNR (likes lower oil)

Nope, dont believe it has been invented yet. 🙂
Now think about it, if Hillary should close down the mines, Nationalize em, or any other of half a dozen possibilities, what do you think an ounce above ground might be worth?? Why she might even try to confisicate our ounces. I have no problem with that, as long as they take my pea shooter first. Then I guess she can take whatever she wants.
Rocks, I dont think a 4 yr old can break rocks. Give him a pet rock !

Now don't go wishing for Hillary and call it prospering. The problem with that is what one giveth she will take away. Actually Trump will be more prosperous to miners. Hillary will probably sell them or regulate them out of business. No single person can stop the carnage that has been done but perhaps soften the fall. Besides what good would it be having a few golden nuggets if Hillary makes sure you have no means to keep it.
Well I just go to recipes right now as home cooking and add heathy can be a good diversion. I like this chef Brad he makes good use of storing grains that might come in handy if we wind up like Venezuela where even that can be taken away. I guess as long as they can dole out foodstamps you pay back I heard if no kids anyway and keep people fat but UN happy while they look at other things they need or like but can't afford while they preach their FAKE nanny state BS. Then they can go on with the illusion on how LUCKY we are lol Were just sooooo lucky while people head to their second or third job and still broke.
Yeah know you had some hard times and glad you got out from under that. So much for our nanny state. Lol
im getting ready to go out to a Bday party of a now 4 year old grandson. They're actually having a real Bday party. Bet they never heard of games like pin the tail on the donkey. It's a video world now and expensive party places. People moving away from that or not every year. I got him a Amazon fire iPad so mom can download games movies and books and bought extra gigs. I got him a so called indestructible case you can drop scratch without affecting the iPad with cover played in one so we'll see how that works. Just in case a couple years of accident insurance.

Richard640 @ 15:56 Dont Feel Like The Lone Ranger,
I am still recovering from some bad personal choices made 5-6 years ago. There was a point I barely had two dimes to rub together.
Except for dabbling in commodities on a few occassions as funds were availible, I have been out of the markets for several years. I have been greatly blessed, and fortuante that things are going much better these days and am looking for some type of pullback to jump in with both feet. I picked up a few old names last friday when they were on sale. The major pullback that the Seasonal Charts call for has not happened and there are only a few weeks left before PM's 'should' start a significant climb. I dunno? These markets are so screwed up, the world so upside down.
The times are certianly much more challenging than back 10-15 years ago. I remember plenty of miners on sale for a buck or two and reaping easy ten baggers. Course in 2-5 years I will probably be saying the same thing about those same miners now going for $10-15 bucks. Just hope the Central Bankers keep printing to infinity, they are making my 'comeback' easy.
Almost wish Hillary wins, I think she will really be good for the PM's. LoL !
Would appreciate it if you find a bargin or two out there.

Yet other countries execute people who did that. Knowing how she is " for sale" I wouldn't be surprised if she did it on purpose as a sort of way of selling info without being accused of it but got mistakingly released on her emails. Also probably got that spy killed too. Totally let him down even though he was helping us.
Isn't that ironic? Iran executes a person for giving secrets to their enemy. Key word here is ENEMY. But yet Obama is aiding a country who calls us our enemy which in our definition is Treason. Name one congressman who brought that up?
Two Charts that Show Why So Many Americans Are So Angry About the Economy
"Over the full course of the recovery since the March 2009 bottom, CPI has risen by 13.3%, suppressed by the big fall in gasoline prices in 2014-15. Wages have risen by 15.7%. In those terms, real wages have increased by a total of 2.3% over 9 years. Woop de doo. Even that tiny gain is suspect. If housing costs were accurately measured that apparent minuscule gain in real wages would be revealed to actually be a real decline in purchasing power. In spite of what economists say, wage gains are still not keeping pace with inflation."

And The FBI Couldn't Tell Hillary Was Lying ??!
Former FBI hostage negotiator reveals 3 ways to tell whether someone is lying
Comment: Ok, FBI, lets review again:
1. "I thought it would be easier to carry one device for my work."
Truth: This was Clinton's excuse on March 10 for why she used a personal e-mail address for official business as secretary of state — so that all her e-mails came to one device. "Looking back, it would have been probably, you know, smarter to have used two devices," she said.
A couple weeks later, a freedom of information request by the AP discovered that Clinton used multiple electronic devices, including an iPad and a BlackBerry, to send e-mail.
2. "The server contains personal communications from my husband and me."
Truth: If that's true, it will come as a surprise to Bill Clinton. "The former president, who does regularly use Twitter, has sent a grand total of two e-mails during his life, both as president," said his spokesman, Matt McKenna, in an interview published around the same time.
3. "I've never had a subpoena…Let's take a deep breath here."
Truth: Confronted by CNN's Brianna Keilar on July 8 about why she had deleted 33,000 e-mails while under investigation, Clinton said it was common practice. Keilar pressed: Even if you're under subpeona?
Clinton was under subpoena when the question was asked. After requesting Clinton's e-mails in December 2014, Trey Gowdy (R-SC) got nowhere, so he sent her a subpoena in March. A Clinton lawyer, David Kendall, responded to the subpoena later that month, saying that Hillary Clinton was waiting for approval from the State Department before releasing the e-mails.
Clinton's people argued she deleted the e-mails before she was under subpoena, so her answer was correct. Except they were deleted in December, when she already knew Congress was interested in them. Before the hard drive was erased, e-mails were handed over to the State Department — but only the ones Clinton's staff deemed relevant. Since all the rest were deleted, no one else could check their work.
Like so many Clinton statements, while the line may be technically correct, it ignores the spirit of the complaint.
4. "I did not e-mail any classified material to anyone on my e-mail. I'm certainly well aware of the classification requirements and did not send classified material."
Truth: Another claim made during that March 10 press conference that has fallen apart. After taking a random sample of 40 of Clinton's e-mails, the inspector general for 17 spy agencies told Congress that two contained information deemed "Top Secret."
5. "Everything I did was permitted. There was no law. There was no regulation. There was nothing that did not give me the full authority to decide how I was going to communicate."
Truth: As The Washington Post points out, "In 2009, just eight months after Clinton became secretary of state, the US Code of federal regulations on handling electronic records was updated:
'Agencies that allow employees to send and receive official electronic-mail messages using a system not operated by the agency must ensure that federal records sent or received on such systems are preserved in the appropriate agency record-keeping system.' The responsibility for making and preserving the records is assigned to 'the head of each federal agency.'"
"On top of that, when Clinton was secretary, a cable went out under her signature warning employees to 'avoid conducting official department business from your personal e-mail accounts.' "
The State Department requires employees to preserve records, even saying explicitly that on the rare occasion a personal e-mail address is used, those e-mails should be forwarded to the work address for archiving. Clinton never did this.
The Washington Post concludes: "She appears to be arguing her case on narrow, technical grounds, but that's not the same as actually complying with existing rules as virtually everyone else understood them."
Can we expect any less of the spouse of the man who argued what "is" is? Columnist Charles Krauthammer said it best when he noted last week, "Nothing she says ever is true three weeks later."
What will be revealed as a lie next? No wonder the FBI never put her under oath !!

Blue People of Kentucky: Why the Fugate Family Had Blue Skin
A (Healthy) Blue Baby
"Have you ever heard of the Fugates of Troublesome Creek?"
This simple question by a knowing grandmother solved a riddle for a little boy born blue.
When little Benjamin "Benjy" Stacy was born in a small hospital near Hazard, Kentucky, he was the picture of health. He was also very, very blue. So blue, in fact, that his skin was the deep purple color of a plum. His doctors were alarmed by the sight and immediately sent him by ambulance to a hospital in Lexington, Kentucky.
Little Benjamin was subjected to an exhaustive schedule of tests in an attempt to explain the startling blue color. While he did not appear to be in any distress, doctors began to set up a blood transfusion for the tiny baby. That was when his grandmother stepped in, asking the doctors if they've heard of the Fugates of Troublesome Creek. The boy's father, Alva Stacy, then explained that his paternal grandmother Luna was also blue—and apparently was quite healthy in life.
Benjy's blue color started to fade a bit over the next few weeks, and as he grew, the only remaining traces of blue coloration were in his lips and nails (the color was particularly noticeable when he became cold). The doctors came to the conclusion that Benjy had inherited a rare gene found in the Appalachians—a gene that turned entire generations of one family blue.
Martin Fugate: The First Blue Man in Kentucky
In 1820, French orphan Martin Fugate and his wife Elizabeth Smith moved onto the banks of Troublesome Creek, a beautiful area in Appalachian Kentucky. There is no official record documenting that Martin was actually blue, but he and his wife both carried a recessive gene that gave their son Zachariah Fugate a startling blue color. Martin and Elizabeth had seven children—four of them were blue. Since the gene causing their blue coloration is recessive, the family had a 25% chance of having a blue child with each pregnancy if Martin and Elizabeth were carriers. If Martin was blue, the odds would have increased to 50% for each child as Martin would have carried two copies of the recessive gene.
Inbreeding was a common occurrence in the rural and isolated Appalachian region. Fugate descendants married other Fugate descendants, concentrating the "blue gene" over generations. The gene found in the Fugate family is from a line of French Huguenots, whose descendants settled in Kentucky, Ireland, and Finland.
Luna Fugate, little Benjy's great-grandmother, was one of the bluest Fugates known to the Appalachian region. Luna was described as being blue all over, with lips the color of a dark bruise. Despite her alien-like color, she was entirely healthy and had 13 children in her 84-year span of life.
What Caused the Blue Skin Color?
The Short Answer
The blue skin was caused by a diaphorase deficiency that led to methemoglobinemia, a rare condition that causes elevated levels of methemoglobin, the form of hemoglobin that cannot bind to oxygen.
The Scientific Explanation
Scientists were quite intrigued as to the cause of the blue skin (cyanosis) in the Fugate family. In the 1960s, a young hematologist named Madison Cawein traveled to the region with an aim to cure the blue people of their skin color. The doctor hiked through the Appalachian hills, on a mission to find the famous blue people of Kentucky. He finally found a couple—Patrick and Rachel Ritchie—who was willing to participate in his study.
Dr. Cawein started by ruling out any heart or lung condition that could cause the blue tint. He then suspected methemoglobinemia.
Normal Hemoglobin Function
Hemoglobin is the protein in the red blood cells that carries oxygen to other cells throughout the body. Each hemoglobin molecule is bound to four iron ions that, in turn, bind to four oxygen molecules. This process is called oxidation and converts the iron ions from their reduced form (Fe2+) to their oxidized form (Fe3+). This is also what gives blood their red color.
What Happens When Hemoglobin Is Damaged?
When hemoglobin is damaged by oxidation, the iron ions remain in their oxidized state and are unable to bind to oxygen. Normally, people have no more than 2% methemoglobin in their blood, thanks to the enzyme diaphorase—more specifically, methemoglobin reductase—that converts methemoglobin back into hemoglobin. However, in certain cases (e.g. enzyme deficiencies, inherited disorders, or exposure to toxins), methemoglobin may continue to build up over time, leading to methemoglobinemia.
What Are the Symptoms of Methemoglobinemia?
Elevated levels aren't usually detrimental—even at 10-20% methemoglobin, when signs of slightly blue skin may be noticed. The blueness increases with increasing methemoglobin levels. At 30%, nausea, difficulty breathing, and an elevated heart rate start to appear. At 55%, people may feel extremely lethargic and go in and out of consciousness. Levels at or above 70% are considered life-threatening and are accompanied by erratic heartbeats and circulatory problems.
Absence of Diaphorase Leads to the Build Up of Methemoglobin
The Ritchies had none of the symptoms of methemoglobinemia—nothing but their discolored skin. Working off of Dr. E. M. Scott's study of similar cases in Alaskan Eskimos and Indians—in which he found decreased levels of the enzyme diaphorase, the enzyme responsible for converting methemoglobin back to hemoglobin—Dr. Cawein performed enzyme assays on additional blood samples from other blue family members. To his amazement, he also found decreased diaphorase. The riddle was solved. This meant that methemoglobin accumulated overtime, making the skin bluer and bluer.
Dr. Cawein published his research in Archives of Internal Medicine in 1964, documenting the study of this family and their congenital methemoglobinemia that was caused by a hereditary diaphorase deficiency.
Who Was Dr. Cawein?
Madison Cawein was a purposeful hematologist at the University of Kentucky's Lexington Medical Center. In addition to determining the cause of the Fugate family's medical mystery, he contributed to the early research that lay the foundation for the use of L-dopa in treating Parkinson's disease.
An Ironic Cure for Blue Skin
To convert the blue methemoglobin back into red hemoglobin, Dr. Cawein suggested the use of a dye called methylene blue. Ironically, this blue dye could change the blue color of the affected blood into a normal red color. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is another method of treating the condition.
Of course, it was a tad difficult to convince the blue people of Kentucky that a blue dye would cure the condition. Nevertheless, Patrick and Rachel volunteered to try the treatment.
A simple injection of the dye caused a stunning color change. Within minutes, Patrick changed from blue to pink. This, however, was a temporary fix. The dye couldn't fix their enzyme deficiency, so Dr. Cawein left the people with a supply of methylene blue pills to be taken on a continual basis.
How Does the Methylene Blue Treatment Work?
The dye, in its reduced form, is colorless and water-soluble. When added to the blood, it acts as an electron donor, reducing the iron in the blood from Fe3+ to Fe2+ and turning blue as a result. Since it is water-soluble, it is excreted through the urine, which is why some of the older mountain people thought the blue color of their skin was literally "pouring" out of them.
As coal trains and other modern highway connectors began connecting Troublesome Creek with the rest of the nation, people began leaving the area. The gene is no longer concentrated, and the chance of intermingling between two gene carriers is remote. Still, the possibility does exist—as the parents of little Benjy Stacy proved.
Did You Know?
Argyria, a condition caused by ingesting excess amounts of silver, can also cause the skin to appear blue to purple-gray.
What Became of Benjamin Stacy?
The little boy born blue has grown up. He attended Eastern Kentucky University, married, and lives a perfectly typical life in Fairbanks, Alaska. Other than an occasional worried comment from unknowing friends about the color of his lips or fingernails, there is little outward sign of the methemoglobinemia.
Types of Congenital Methemoglobinemia
There are several types of congenital methemoglobinemia varying in severity of symptoms. In this case, a deficiency in NADH cytochrome b5 reductase (methemoglobin reductase), a diaphorase caused members of the Fugate family to have blue skin.
Type I: This type is limited to the red blood cells and causes a blue color.
Type II: The enzyme is deficient in all tissues, and devastating systemic effects are seen—mental retardation, a small head size, and other central nervous system problems are severe. The child will also present with a blue color.
Type III: The entire blood cell system is affected, including platelets, white blood cells, and red blood cells. Fortunately, this variant does not cause any medical problems (other than a blue skin color).
Type IV: This type only affects the red blood cells and causes a chronic blue color. No other medical problems are associated with Type IV.
The majority of methemoglobinemia cases are caused by an acquired problem (e.g. the person was exposed to oxidizing drugs, toxins, or chemicals). In the case of acquired methemoglobinemia, the patient must be monitored for low blood oxygen levels and anemia since the amount of circulating normal hemoglobin may be reduced to extremely low levels.

Questions & Answers
When did the last blue person live?
There are people who have methemoglobinemia currently. The last member of the Fugate family to inherit the trait causing methemoglobinemia in the Appalachian mountains was Benjy Stacy, who was born in 1975. The inherited trait in this region is much less common and unlikely to be seen as the community is not as isolated as it once was.Helpful 30
Did anyone in Mary Well's family have the blue skin trait and possibly pass it onto her which caused Martin to have blue skin?
The official family pedigree chart shows Martin Fugate (son of Benjamin Fugate and Hannah) as an individual with blue skin. The chart shows Mary Wells to be a carrier of the gene, and she was married to Martin Fugate. Mary did not display the blue skin phenotype since she only had one copy of the gene. It is unknown if anyone in Mary's family had both copies of the recessive gene. The only documented family in the area showing the blue skin phenotype due to methemoglobinemia was the Fugate family. The Smith family later intermarried the Fugate family and also carried the genes for methemoglobinemia.
There are several "Martin Fugates" in the family line, as the family pedigree starts with Josias Fugate, who married Mary Martin. Neither one of these individuals was blue. They have one documented son, named Martin, who married a woman named Sarah. Martin (the first) and Sarah were not blue, either.
Martin and Sarah have two documented children, Martin (the second) and William. Martin (the second) had blue skin and William did not. Martin the second is the first one in the family to have the phenotype. Martin the second married Mary Wells. They had three children, Hanna (likely heterozygote), James (did not carry the gene), and Zachariah (heterozygote).
At this point, Zachariah married Mary Smith, who was also a heterozygous carrier. Their son Lorenzo had both copies of the gene and had blue skin. Lorenzo married the granddaughter of Martin and Mary Wells. Zachariah and Mary Smith's other son John Fugate also displayed blue skin. After this generation, the Fugate, Smith, Ritchie, and Sevens family lines become entangled as there were several cousin marriages, increasing the number of people born with blue skin.Helpful 25
How factual is the novel "The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek"? For example, did people actually hunt the blue people in the 1930's? I know it's possible given our historical intolerance of genetic differences, but I like to hope that at least this cruelty was fiction.
"The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek" is a work of fiction, and uses the general knowledge of the Fugate family as a base for a story of a woman who is set apart from the general community in the Appalachians. Most of the story is fictitious, including the hunting scenario. Many works of literature stray far from historical facts to generate an interesting story.Helpful 57
I recall family members from earlier generations who used to talk of 'blue babies.' Is this what they could be referring to? Most of my family is in the Johnston County, NC, area but we have family sprinkled from here to the Appalachia by way of Trail of Tears descendants.
It is impossible to tell if they were referring to the isolated Fugate family in the Appalachian mountains, or if they were referring to babies who were experiencing cyanosis due to heart defects at birth. As heart defects are a fairly common condition and were not as easily treated a century ago, some "blue babies" were really suffering from a lack of oxygen due to congenital cardiac problems. The Fugate family's methemoglobinemia was isolated to their family, but it is possible your family heard tales of the "blue people in Kentucky" and shared the stories of this family.Helpful 21
Why are these 'blue people' of Kentucky confined to one area of our country?
There are no longer "blue people" in the Appalachians. Genetic isolation is the reason this rare genetic condition was observed at a high frequency in this population. Two carriers of the rare mutation happened to meet and marry, and their offspring either had or carried the same mutations. As the area was remote and cousins married, the prevalence of the genetic variant causing methemoglobinemia increased among the family. Once the community was no longer isolated, the prevalence reduced and the disorder is no longer observed with frequency in the general area.Helpful 18
My son came home from school today telling me about the "the blue family" they was learning about it in science. I thought he was just messing around with me at first, then we looked it up. I enjoyed reading your artical and learning all about them.
You're a great writer! What a well written and thorough article! Very informative and I learned so much more about "the blue people!" It turned into a lesson for my kids. Thanks!
Great article.
Ancient India had blue people. They appear in many paintings of their gods I always thought they must be aliens, but perhaps they had this meth condition of which you write above. Do you have any knowledge of the history of these people in India?
Really interesting article. Do you know if one would be pre-disposed to some methemoglobin concentration with ony one copy of the gene - perhaps not enough to cause widespread turning of the skin to blue but maybe localised under some conditions?
Very cool article! Never heard of this phenomenon. You explained it very well. This falls under the "you learn something new every day" category! Thanks!
I love reading great articuls hope to see more in the future
Wonderful article, Leah. Although I'm on HP, I've never seen it before. I googled "blue people" in connection with the so-called "blue people" of the early British Isles and this popped up. This is fascinating. There allegedly was a race of blue-skinned people in the Asian Pacific area back sometime in BC, but nobody seems to know where they went. I wonder if these people are descendants.
When I was a child in the Ozark mountains, a neighbor of my father's generation started turning a blue purple. Twenty years later he was totally purple. His wife told me that it was his heart that was causing it. He did die of heart disease, so I never questioned her explanation.
Thank You , probably no chance of seeing him again and if i did i wouldn't approach him with Questions Leah .
I saw and spoke very briefly to a Blue male person of about 40 years of age in the Pacific Northwest in a Grocery Store . I thought that they were concentrated in Appalachia but there he was in a small grocery store . It was interesting as i had heard about the FUGATES . He had his blonde , normal white skinned assumed son with him . Probably a FUGATE in the PNW i suppose .
What happened to the longer articles/stories about the fugates? This is not the entire story... the original had many more details, and was much more interesting! No offense, but you rewrote that which was longer and more detailed.... =/
very interesting ☺
I am a descendent of the Fugates in Troublesome who originally came from Russell County Virginia. Frances Fugate B. 1789 married William McIntosh b. 1789 my great, great great great grandfather. They have a son named Absalom, b. 1812 and married a Mulatto woman by the name of Jemima had they a daughter named Eliza. Eliza ended up marrying a black man by the name of Goeins/Goeins from Clearspring Maryland. I have traced my family all the way back to James L. Fugate born 1650 in London and Thomas Pettis from England. H was the Mayor of Norwich, Eng. Many people in Clay Co. Ky. and the Fugates and Mcintosh families had what we would call blood mixed with Native Americans and blacks as well. Some of them are in denial and never wanted to talk about the relationships between the blacks the mulatto, slaves or whatever. But black families pass the information down.
In the summer month's my husband and I like to walk around flea markets.. One that we go to in Tenn. has a blue lady. First time I have ever seen a blue person and it's true about the color of them changing. Sometimes she's gray looking or a darker blue.
I think this is absolutely fascinating!! I wish I could meat a blue skinned person.
this is cool and a little bit sad at the same time
I feel so sad for this family and any others that have to live with this genetic trait. To think that anyone, and in this case, an entire family had to live in isolation and feel that badly about their appearance breaks my heart. I am very interested in the reaction by some in society, and how they are able to cope. I dearly hope that they find people who will embrace them and find them as beautiful as they are blue or whatever color they are. Hopefully our society will learn to see the wonders of people, no matter how they look, or whatever problems they battle. Good luck to all of them.
This is soooooooooooo crazy how can this happen?
This is one of the most fascinating things I have ever read in my entire life.
how was the first blue person
"the family had a 25% chance of having a blue child with each pregnancy."
Wrong. Since Martin was blue himself (see picture), the family would have had a 50% chance of having a blue child with each pregnancy.
Very interesting article. The fact that you took a scientific approach to it made it most credible. Voted up.
Can i join the family, already got rid of my blue baby....
Hello Leah, I am back to re-read this fascinating article about the Blue People of Kentucky.

I live right in the area of Kentucky that you all are speaking of that this blue family is from...actually just within 15 mile of troublesome creek and I have never seen the blue family..actually never even heard about them until my sister said a blue man came into her place of business the other day.At first I thought everybody was making a joke about it and the more I read I realized they weren't joking so I googled blue people in Ky and found this article..Im 55 yrs old and had never heard about blue people in my hometown in my life and have lived here all my life.Goes to show just because its a small town doesn't mean everybody knows everybody ..Also goes to show they arent talked about and made fun of for their condition.Which is a very good thing...
I live in Ky and oddly enough I was in a local hospital for several
Days got friendly with a nurse and this blue people topic came up he said without skipping a best its from incest. I don't believe that anymore. Hope he sees this article.
I wonder if that is where they get the song Blue Moon of Kentucky from or the saying once in a blue moon?
Your page is very informative, but you don't have all of the information on this 'condition'. You are lacking the type that my family and I have. We have type M, and there is no cure for it. The blue dye that you keep on saying is a cure for it, really isn't. The people in my family who have this, have tried it before and it will confirm us "normal" looking for a few short minutes and then we return to our normal blue state. It is caused by a mutation in our red blood cells that cause us to only be able to 'carry' 50% of the oxygen as everyone else does. Many of my family have volunteered (including myself and my younger sister when we were kids) to let doctors study us and our blood disorder. My sister and I were seen by many doctors and specialists at U of M, and have quite a bit of knowledge about our blood disorder and how unique our type is to our family. I'm almost always surprised when I come across a doctor who has previous knowledge of it before they meet me, but almost all of them think that I don't know what I'm talking about and try to put me under one of the other types and ignore me on it.
Wow what a fascinating hub. Thanks for sharing.....
Krishna was blue too :)
What an interesting article. Thanks.
In the Irish language the term for black people is "Daoine Gorm", which translate directly as "blue people". It was a term of respect. I wish the world had more colours. Purple people would be nice!
It's amazing. First of its kind in the world, the details with regard to the change of color and there by its cure is a worth read. Thanks for sharing. leahlefler
I've heard of these for years as my father's family is from there. Just recently I knew they were Fugate's. I'm related to Fugates in Western Kentucky.
Awesome. I've never heard of this. It's cool that it's not a harmful condition. And I thought only aliens were blue! (haha)
This is super interesting...I'd never heard of this before in my life. Great article. So well explained too.
I know I have read this before, but its so interesting! lol! blue people, well whoever would have thought it?
Very interesting. Concise and well written. Loved the article.
What an amazing article! Reminds me of the colloidal silver stories, of people turning blue. Fascinating, thank you!
Fascinating stuff, i have heard of blue babies but not blue adults. Nice writing style very captivating.
interesting..Never saw anyone with blue skin.
I think this popped up as a featured hub somewhere. It caught my attention because I know a blue lady. She uses oxygen and I have assumed whatever her health condition is, the blue is a result of that. I've never asked. But now I am curious.
According to my Fugate family genealogy, Martin was not a French orphan but a 4th generation Fugate and was my great, great,great, great, grandfather. The Fugates in this area came here from Russell Co, VA. This article was written about 50 years ago and people should stop photoshopping the old photographs. It is an interesting story but old and not so sensational as it used to be yet people keep dredging it out of the internet and putting ridiculous photos with it. A while back I saw my great grandparents photo(and I have a copy) with them dyed all blue. We Fugate descendants are a little tired feeling like the rest of the world is making fun of us for a medical condition. Go ahead and discuss it if you wish but please quit putting up those doctored up pictures because there are people dumb enough to believe everything on the internet is true.
Blue people in the bluegrass State… I guess it makes sense! I went to Berea College and it tries to cater to people of all ethnicities but I didn't see any blue people while I was there!
Crazy stuff, but I have an aunt by marriage who is related to this family. Some of her siblings have the blue tinge.
Very interesting and well-written story! I had heard of these people before but never heard what caused the problem. Thanks for sharing - voted up!
Crazy interesting - well-written and well-researched! Voted up.
Very very enlightening! Never heard of blue people except green when people say 'black , white yellow or green' to metaphorically say all races included - shared!
Wow! What a strange condition! I've never heard of this. I love learning about rare/strange events in history. Awesome hub, thanks for sharing!
And here I just thought they were some dye hard Wildcats fans. Great hub keep up the good work!
My dear friend Au fait suggested that I read this hub, I was not disappointed. This is facinating. I had never heard of blue people before.
Voting you up and will share!
This was a fascinating read. I can't believe I have never heard of this in all my weird medical research. You did an excellent job with the layout--I even read it aloud to my husband (who hates hearing me read anything aloud) and he was really fascinated!
Very interesting. I have never heard of this before. Voting you up and will share this hub with my followers.
I first heard about this during my grad school studies - it's very fascinating in many ways. You did a nice job of presenting the medical history behind it as in interesting story - very nice!
This hub really makes me read the entire story. Very interesting.I really never thought of blue people. I though they were only a myth. Great information. Really feels good to know about these unique creatures.
Are they real? I think blue people unbelievable.
But that picture shows that blue people do really exist. thanks for your hub, now I have a little bit of knowledge about them.
A very interesting read. Fascinating to see how they treated the condition.
yes I've heard of them and met some descendants of them,who are not blue.
I was a teacher in the hills back in the 80's and saw things I never thought I would see;
having grown up in suburban NY that is.;-)
I've heard of some interesting replies to caring/nosey questions, but to be able to say, "I have methemoglobinemia" would be a mouth full! Very interesting read.
I agree with all the comments - very fascinating indeed.
Have you ever read any Margaret Atwood? I think she is one of the best authors of our time.
In her pre and post apocalyptic books 'Oryx and Crake' (2003 - Booker Prize finalist) and 'The Year of the Flood' (2009), Crake, a genetic engineer, creates a race of (perfect) blue people with which he intends to repopulate the world after normal humans have been wiped out by a virus he also engineered.
Put like that it sounds weird, but they are a great read.
this is something interesting to read. I live in Kentucky and I will keep an eye out for "blue people". Take care..voted up..interesting! :)
Just when I think I have heard it all..........
Well thanks for this very interesting Hub. I am just amazed.
Extremely interesting hub! Amazing that the blue dye affects the skin tone reverting it back to a normal color. Thanks for this hub about the blue people in Kentucky. Up and interesting!
I agree with Scribenet. Very interesting.
It is interesting what you learn on Hubpages! Thank you for an interesting Hub!

Buy twice, to get it right once?
June 21, 2010 by Randy Chalfant
In any economy, who can afford to buy something twice, to get it right once? We have all made bad purchasing decisions, from which we then read the independent reviews that expose the issues of a product. Wouldn't it be better to know that before hand?
This underscores the responsibility we have to be aware. There is an abundance of government, consumer and analyst organizations whose objectives are to protect us with unbiased opinion on the credibility of product claims. Unfortunately, Information Technology consumers have often lacked reliable and complete resources to distinguish hype from fact.
Filling the need for buyers to make informed midrange storage decisions, the Data Center Infrastructure Group (DCIG), recently published its 2010 Midrange Array Buyer's Guide. This comprehensive report is the first of its kind. It has been independently produced through a methodical and statically valid approach, normalizing the abundant features available on 72 storage arrays from 21 different vendors.
Independent and with no funding from any vendor there is no guarantee of inclusion in the buyers guide. The DCIG Midrange Array Buyer's Guide provides a fair, unbiased testing and ranking for each product. In one place, it offers all the information needed for buyers to choose the right data storage product for their business – the first time.
Through this Consumer Reports-style analysis, Nexsan won the competition with our premier storage solution, DATABeast®, achieving the number one ranking by a wide margin among all other midrange arrays. DATABeast so far exceeded the results found in other midrange arrays that DCIG concluded it is as close to a Tier One enterprise class array as an organization can get, without the high cost.
Other Nexsan solutions included in the report are SATABeast®, SASBeast® and the Nexsan iSeries® 400i. Each ranked exceptionally well in their respective class against well-known competitors.
Of course we are very pleased with the outcome, but we are even more pleased that the industry now has a report that buyers can reference to make informed storage decisions. Making informed decisions is always more financially efficient when compared to the cost of mistakes and the added expense of resolving them. Using insightful knowledge is the most effective decision-making improvement anyone can make.
The DCIG Midrange Array Buyer's Guide provides the detailed independent analysis important for these decisions, allowing you to buy it right the first time.

Starring Chaoming Cui, Wei Li, Yu Shi, Wei Wei
In Mandarin with English subtitles
Filmed in China just prior to the Communist takeover, this celebrated work tells the delicately layered story of a woman torn between loyalty
to her sick husband and the dashing doctor who was the lover of her
youth. SPRING IN A SMALL TOWN has been named "the best Chinese-language
film of all time" by numerous critics and organizations, including

Now magazine.

Directed by Niall Johnson
Starring Rowan Atkinson, Kristin Scott
Thomas, Maggie Smith, Patrick Swayze
A well-crafted black comedy in the Ealing tradition, KEEPING
MUM features an English vicar too preoccupied to notice his daughter's
unhealthy relationships with boys, his son's problem with
bullies, and his wife's affair with an oversexed American
golf tutor. An elderly housekeeper (Maggie Smith) moves in and
takes it upon herself to put the family's life in order.
Part Mary Poppins, part Supernanny, she also happens to be criminally

A favorite at Sundance, this moving and innovative documentary
received the Grand Jury Prize at the San Francisco International

middle-aged woman returns to her home village in Mexico to confront
the family who traded her away as a child slave and mistress
in exchange for land rights. The San Francisco Chronicle said, "PAULINA
was ten years in the making, but its passion and energy are fresh...blending
real-life and re-enactment footage with dazzling virtuosity...
it has a magical glow."
Sponsored in conjunction with National Hispanic Heritage Month
Kevin's Film Notes
October 19 (Friday)
(Germany, 1928, 110 minutes, b/w, 35 mm)
Directed by G. W. Pabst
Starring Louise Brooks, Fritz Kortner, Francis Lederer
SILENT with live piano accompaniment by Mike Schiffer
Expatriate Kansas-born actress Louise Brooks became an icon of the Jazz
Age after starring in this dark tale of a sexy vaudeville performer who
ignites madness and desire—and brings ruin— everywhere she
goes. Pabst's creation, based on playwright Frank Wedekind's
character Lulu, scandalized Berlin upon its release and began the clash
between artistic freedom and Hollywood censorship. Today, film critics
regard PANDORA'S BOX as "one of European silent cinema's
crowning achievements," (Tom Dawson, BBC). It influenced the work
of a number of filmmakers including Fritz Lang, Alfred Hitchcock, and Billy
Wilder. The film also features moviedom's first lesbian character,
the Countess Geschwitz. Shown in a newly struck 2006 print.

the early years of Franco's regime, two small girls embark
on a quest to find and befriend the monster. Recently rediscovered
by American critics, SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE has been called "a
work of sheer, entrancing beauty" (Chicago Tribune),
and "the finest and most beautifully wrought first film of
the European 70s" (Village Voice). A new 2006 print
will be shown.

Directed by David Hare
Starring Mike Nichols, Miranda Richardson,David de Keyser
Wallace Shawn's powerful,
monologue-driven play about three characters trapped in a war-torn future dystopia
is translated to the screen by David Hare, who also directed the original London
stage production. Jack, an English professor, has become increasingly sympathetic
to the fascist regime. Howard, Jack's father-in-law, is a famous poet
suspected of supporting the guerilla insurgents. Jack's wife, Judy, is
also under suspicion. The New York Times called the work an "exquisitely
written dramatic lament for the decline of high culture."

Directed by Agnès Varda
Starring Corinne Marchand, Antoine Bourseiller, Dominique
In French with English subtitles
Awaiting the results of a biopsy for cancer, a pretty, pampered
chanteuse spends two hours searching for meaning in the streets
of Paris. The film established Agnès Varda as the
preeminent female director of her generation and the grandmère
of the French New Wave. Film critic Molly Haskell wrote, "the
director adroitly uses the camera's addiction to beautiful
women's faces to subtly question the consequences of
that fascination...." A new print will be shown.

SILENT with new jazz score
This fascinating silent work by early film theorist Kenneth
MacPherson features African American actor Paul Robeson
and his wife Eslanda in a tangled tale of interracial
adultery and violence. MacPherson uses experimental camera
techniques and narrative styles to explore the "borderlines" of
racial and sexual identity. Silent filmmaker G. W. Pabst
called BORDERLINE, "the only real avant-garde film." BORDERLINE
also features Hilda Doolittle (H. D.), the influential
American poet, in her only movie role.

I have been playing WoW since 05, I go back to the days of speccing into Evocation and Arcane Explosion 🙂 MC was and will always be my favourite raid instance, yes I so yearn for the ole days of 40 mans raids and good stable guilds!
Up until recently I was a Guild Leader for a guild that started out on Dath'remar, moved to Caelestraz and then Aman'thul. I have now moved back to Cael and joined a raiding guild with a long history.
This blog was mainly about the highs and lows of raiding, and a place for me to express the things I couldn't say in game, hence why I remained anonymous for so long. I am not sure if I will go back to being anonymous now…I shall have to think on that notion 😀
There will not be much about strats, talents, gear etc as I believe there are more than enough theory crafters out there with enough information to confuse even the most elite, so any information on here is pulled from other sources and mainly kept as a reference so I can access the information quickly when needed in plain english. (I don't need to know the mechanics of the stats, just tell me what I need!)
Any comments you would like to make would be awesome, I do like to know that people are even reading this blog, it makes me happy to see my site count go up 😀
I am also just starting up some RP on one of my baby toons, dragonray (warlock) on Argent Dawn. I am in which is a collective of bloggers and readers from around the place, a lot of them RP and I feel like giving it a shot 🙂 So please go gentle with me on those posts…they may suck the life from you 😀
Here's a piccie of me with blue hair, which I no longer have, but wish I still did:

Hello Vintage Hat Fans,
Today's hat is so well made that I'm surprised there isn't a label in it. Perhaps there was at some point. That's the mystery of vintage. I'm guessing this to be 1950s.
This is a very finely woven straw picture hat. Please notice the intricate straw embellishments around the crown. These items were made by very skilled hands. And I love the straw braid band around the brim. Such an elegant piece.
