1. This past weekend we knocked a few more things off of our to-do list.
I brought up the infant seat and cleaned it.
I was also determined to get all three car seats in the Journey.
After over an hour of moving seats and 20 million different configurations, some tears, help from the BIL, and very hesitantly moving Hannah into a high back booster; we finally managed to get all three seats across the middle row.
I originally wanted to get Colson a new seat, but moving Hannah to a high back booster gave us a few extra inches of room that we desperately needed to fit all three across the seat. So we got Hannah a new seat and Colson is in his sisters old (purple) seat. :o/
We tried putting someone in the back row but the two seats in the middle were still too wide to be able to move the seat forward to actually get to the back. We tried Hannah in the middle but she/I would never be able to get to the buckle to buckle her in. We finally put the infant seat in the middle, Colson behind the passenger seat and Hannah behind the driver. This allows for access to the buckle to buckle her in, plus it will make dropping her off at school a lot easier.
It is a tight squeeze, but for now it works. I'm trying to not think about when the baby moves out of the infant seat. :o/
So I can cross that off the list. And it feels good because that was the last major thing! Everything else is rather small in comparison.
2. How does one get poison ivy on there big pregnant belly???
I had it on my arm around the 4th of July and had no idea where it came from. Well now I have it on my belly. It's not like I go running through the weeds naked...so the only thing I can think of is that it is in our yard somewhere and the dogs got into it and scratched my belly with their nails--thus, poison ivy on my belly. ??? Who knows!?
It is way better than a week ago, thank goodness...but I still feel bad for the nurse who will do my NST test today...they are going to think I have some disease. :o/
3. Hannah starts school in a little over two weeks. This momma is not ready! I know Hannah is ready though. She needs to go and learn and socialize with other kids. Plus it's only three days a week for three hours a day. I think I can handle that! I think. :o/. It will still make me sad when I drop her off though. She is just growing up way too fast!
She'll love it though. We picked a school that does a lot of outside activities. They go on nature hikes almost everyday and each month is a different theme (outer space, the rainforest, etc.). Hannah will be beside herself!
Plus, I can't wait for all of the artwork she will bring home! :o)
We have a parent orientation next Tuesday and then Hannah has a student orientation the following Wednesday...then she starts on the 3rd. I can't believe how fast the summer has flown by!

Ok I thought heat rash was awful.....poison ivy trumps that!! Not sure if it'll work for you but cortizone 10 was a relief for me from the itching!ReplyDelete

August 2019
With the phasing out of the most widely-used benchmark interest rate, flow looks at how one bond transaction successfully switched to a new reference rate
On 11 June 2019, a group of investors voted in favour of a proposal by Associated British Ports (ABP) to amend a £65 million floating rate note so that subsequent interest coupons are linked to the compounded Sterling Overnight Index Average (Sonia), instead of Libor, or the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate. The switch was hailed as a blueprint1 for issuers moving away from the most widely used benchmark for short term interest rates and looking to amend their documentation for future and existing issuances.
ABP achieved a modification to the terms which included an adjustment to compensate for any pricing difference between forward looking Libor and backward looking Sonia for the remaining term of the note.
The success of this consent solicitation process was hailed as a "first of its kind", serving as a proof of concept in the industry, and should be encouraging for other bond issuers in the run up to January 2022, when contracts using Libor could become obsolete.
Deutsche Bank, as tabulation agent, facilitated the flow of information between ABP and key stakeholders. The bank's experienced team of specialists provided dynamic reporting during the consent solicitation process and was one of the key parties in delivering the transparency needed to obtain the noteholders' approval and getting the transaction over the line.

From the folks at Meyer Farms...
Meyer Farms is a group of farm nerds with the goal of providing you with the best organic produce, herbs, eggs, and other delicious edibles. Located in Wauconda, IL, our beautiful 47 acre farm has been certified organic since 1992. We are foodies – we love to eat good food, we love to cook what we grow, and we love to introduce our passion to others.
As a professional chef back in the 80's who could not find a good source of high quality fresh herbs, Vern Meyer began growing them himself for use at his restaurant. Soon other chefs were asking for his herbs, and our farm business was born! We began growing culinary herbs on a wholesale basis. In 2012 we shifted our focus towards our community by adding vegetables and fruits to the herbs we were growing, and offering them locally through our farm stand and farmers markets. We've added a small flock of free-range chickens and offer fresh eggs as well, and in 2014 we added a few beehives for honey (in addition to helping pollinate our crops.)
From the beginning, we have been devoted farmers and stewards of the earth, passionate about growing high quality products using natural, earth-friendly, and organic methods. We embrace the land and all that mother earth throws at us, whether it is beautiful sunny days or thunderstorms and raging winds. Farming can be challenging, but we find it rewarding and fun to provide our members and local community with good, healthy food.

Cabin 15 is a beautiful two-story log home sheltered beneath tall pines on a private lot near the sandy beach area at White Iron Beach Resort. This 12-person wilderness getaway offers four separated bedrooms, two full baths, a large screened-in porch and a private driveway.
As our former lake home, Cabin 15 has all of the comforts we could give it, including a large, fully equipped and modern kitchen, a cozy sitting area and a family dining room. The porch is furnished with comfortable chairs perfect for sitting and enjoying the fresh lake air.
Cabin 15 is smoke-free and pet-friendly. The trees provide a nice shelter from the elements as well as a privacy screen from neighboring cabins. The spot is quiet, serene and beautiful, with an easy walk through the woods connecting you to the more social spaces and amenities.
Reminder: guests will need to bring their own bath and dish towels.
Cabin 15 is one of 26 scenic log cabins built alongside the water's edge on White Iron Lake — and one of the largest rentals at White Iron Beach Resort. This home is set back into the trees, offering more privacy from the other cabins. The property is wooded and shady — the perfect respite after a day spent in the sand and sun at the resort's clean beach area. Cabin 15 can be rented alone for a getaway with a group of friends or a multifamily retreat, or in conjunction with other cabins to accommodate larger events, such as reunions, weddings or corporate functions.

The lakefront cabins at White Iron Beach Resort are located near the popular northern Minnesota touristing town of Ely. The downtown area is a great place to spend the day enjoying local restaurants and shopping, as well as a variety of entertainments and attractions.
The region surrounding the town and the resort is part of the Superior National Forest and is traversed by miles of scenic hiking and biking trails. Ely is also home to one of the limited entry points to the renowned Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.
The fishing is excellent on White Iron Lake, as well as on connecting lakes in the region and on the vast bodies of water within the Canoe Area Wilderness. With some patience and the right gear, you can expect to pull in northern pike, bass, crappie and even trophy walleye.
If you prefer to stay close to the resort, we have plenty to occupy your time onsite, including canoes and kayaks, motor boat and pontoon rentals, a game room and sauna, a children's play area, volleyball and basketball courts and of course the beach, boat docks and fire pits.
Other interesting regional landmarks include the Tower-Soudan Underground Mine and the International Wolf Center.

Extremely clean cabins. Wonderful, very nice owners. Would definitely stay here again. Hopefully sometime in the summer when it is warmer so we can go fishing on the beautiful lake! — Roxy S.
Beautiful, friendly, clean. — Benita P.
WIBR is absolutely beautiful. We found it this year and have been back a couple of times and have another trip planned for August. We LOVE it here. The cabins are very nice and updated, the beach is the best one we have found, the kids love the playground, and Sandy and Kerry are wonderful people. We can't wait to make more memories here. — Kurston D.
Beautiful setting. Very well maintained resort. Charming, clean, comfortable cabins with great views. Hosts are always ready to help. All the amenities you could ask for. The Lodge adds a lot. Seems to attract nice people and friendly dogs. We have found our favorite place in Ely. We will be back as often as we can. — Linda L.
The pontoon boat rental was reasonably priced and we were able to catch some nice fish from it. The owners were available throughout our stay and were more than accommodating. I didn't walk the grounds much, but it seemed that most(if not all) the cabins were within 75 yards of the water. I would highly recommended WIBR to anyone looking for a great place to escape near Ely. — Jeremy G.
Always love bringing the family to White Iron Beach Resort! Kerry and Sandy's hospitality is fantastic. This year we brought our dog and she had a blast too! Great place to get away from the hustle and bustle for the city life and just relax. Can't wait to go back next year. — Tori E.
My husband and I absolutely love it here. The people of Ely are so friendly and accommodating. Kerry and Sandy you are absolutely the best people in the world. We have been coming up here for more than 20 years and never had a bad time. Recommend this place to anybody who really wants to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city from the hustle and bustle of the city. Or a romantic getaway. — LaVerne B.
We had the BEST time. First visit to northern Minnesota for my grandkids and son in law, they loved it all. The last night of our visit we went to the beach and looked a sky full of stars. We loved that the kids could borrow games,shoot pool, and listen to music by the campfire. Cabin was great for our large family, the resort owners were very nice, and very helpful. We really enjoyed our stay. — Dawn H.
Just one week ago, we were relaxing at White Iron Beach Resort, and we definitely miss it already! The resort and the surrounding area are simply gorgeous. The cabin was very well kept, with plenty of space. Sandy and Kerry provided everything we needed for a fun and comfortable stay. This is a wonderful choice for families, large or small, and we felt right at home very quickly. Thank you WIBR! — Emily W.

The November 1st release date for this movie tells all. Once again, as soon as Halloween passes, Christmas takes a stranglehold of the market for the following couple of months. Walking into an Indigo Book store (or, for you purists out there, a Chapters), the decorations were festive, and the music of Michael Bublé has defrosted, filling the coffee scented store. Christmas is a beautiful time of year, filled with family, food, parties and the obligatory gifts. I love Christmas (for those reading this review, please feel free to leave gift suggestions for my dog in the comments below). The festive season is also home to this feeling titled nostalgia. Disney, in a unprecedented move decided to capture this feeling of nostalgia and release a movie loosely based on The Nutcracker, a beloved classic. Sarcasm aside, this is not the first time that the House of Mouse adapted parts of The Nutcracker, as Fantasia used The Nutcracker Suite as one of its songs. This time however, they decided to do a live action version. What could go wrong?
This rendition of the Nutcracker is executed in such a way that it immediately fills viewers with nostalgia and glee. The opening shots of the movie show a Downton Abbey (or Peaky Blinders, yes the two shows roughly cover the same period) era London covered in snow on Christmas Eve. The long establishing shots were accompanied by the incredible music of Tchaikovsky, which had even the most cold hearted critics in the theatre (myself included) swaying to the mesmerizing waltz. This drawn out shot encapsulates and perfectly sums up the movie: a visually pleasing ode to The Nutcracker for a younger generation of moviegoers. At no point does the plot fully immerse you into the story, nor are the effects/CGI stunning, nor is the action even necessary. But what can be said with certainty is that it all looked visually stunning.
However, referring to my previous point, this movie is meant for a new generation of moviegoers, and with this new generation, they have been indoctrinated into watching water down films with Marvel level actions and overused character tropes that are universally simple to understand. And that is exactly what Disney produced. By no means is this a BAD movie. Sure, it will not be up for any major awards (other than makeup/costumes) but it does the job. Disney takes an A level cast (which includes Kiera Knightly, Dame Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman, and Mackenzie Foy), a classic soundtrack, and a big budget to create a Christmas film that took little effort or creativity. Toys will be sold, merchandise will be bought, and albums will be listened to. All in all, this movie will earn Disney millions; a job well done.
In this movie, we have action, CGI, irrelevant side quests, more action, false suspense, pointless self-sacrifice, and a female lead who is by all accounts a 'Mary Sue' (a Mary Sue is, as Wikipedia puts it, a character that is "idealized and seemingly perfect")… Did I just describe The Last Jedi? Fortunately, the acting in The Nutcracker is actually delivered really well. Kiera Knightly does an incredible job portraying a deranged psychopath, who launches into intertextual pop culture references at the most disturbing of times. Mirren and Freeman bring some much needed gravitas and stability to the flimsy script along with their star power. Foy does a great job acting out a character that inhibits any individualism (she had practice acting in a similar way during her tenure as Renesmee Cullen in Breaking Dawn Part 2). The chemistry between Foy and the father in the movie along with her relationship with the Nutcracker soldier are awkward to look at and uneven pacing hurts character development as a whole. A quick IMDB search shows that the actor playing the Nutcracker, Jayden Fowora-Knight, is appearing on the screen for the first time. For a first, this was an excellent job. Hats off the Fowora-Knight. The rest of the cast was… stale and ridiculous. The comic relief of Jack Whitehall was criminally underused.
Moreover, there were points throughout the movie where plot-holes were so large, sharks the size of The Meg could jump through them. I will refrain from divulging the plot but they will become evident as the movie progresses. Another point of contention is the character of the mother. She is just a bad person. Sure, leaving a kingdom that she created alone without any central authority or a system of governance in a quasi-federal state is a bad move, but worst of all, she called her daughter (one of three children) her "greatest creation". Apart from the mother, this movie condones state invasion of subnational entities, regicide, a coup d'état, and too much verbal exposition… Okay fine, I may be reading into the movie a little too much… but there are serious problems that cannot be simply glossed over or ignored because this is a "kids movie". For example, issue of over exposition can be seen as a thorn across the film. One of the most beautiful scenes of the movie sees a ballerina performing the narrative of the Four Realms. The dancing and emotions portrayed by the dancers were incredible, but the writers decided to give Knightley's character annoying expositional dialogue to describe all the events, instead of forcing the audience to look at the screen and actively engage within the filmic diegetic. But no. We have to be spoon fed information and details to make the plot understandable.
Overall, this move did what it was created to do. It gets people into the Christmas spirit and earns Disney a few million dollars. The acting overall was average, the story was heavily supported by archetypes and a simple narrative premise, the music was great, and the cinematography was wonderful. Add a pinch of Narnia, a smidge of Alice in Wonderland, and a tablespoon of every other fantasy action thriller for children and we get The Nutcracker. All in all, the movie could have been a lot better… but it could have been MUCH worse.

Summary This project aims will use our unique biobank of human clinical samples to thoroughly characterise the role of novel genes/proteins in the pathophysiology of gestational diabetes.
Project Details
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) complicates 15–20% of all pregnancies – a complication that reverberates into the future. The severe health and economic impacts of GDM can extend well beyond pregnancy and childbirth. The offspring of women with GDM are predisposed to an increased risk of metabolic and cardiovascular disease later in life. Despite the global health burden of gestational diabetes, the pathophysiology of the disease remains unclear, and therefore treatment options are limited. Our research has identified a number of genes and proteins that are dysregulated in gestational diabetes. Their role, however, in disease pathophysiology is not known.
This project aims will use our unique biobank of human clinical samples to thoroughly characterise the role of these genes/proteins in the pathophysiology of gestational diabetes. It is hoped that these biomolecules may be novel therapeutic target to reduce the incidence of GDM and its associated sequelae.
This project will use a range of laboratory methods including cell and tissue culture, molecular biology, enzyme immunoassays, and Western blot.

Highly intricate; extremely difficult to solve.
In Greek mythology, King Gordius of Phrygia tied a knot that defied all who tried to untie it. An oracle prophesied that one who would undo this Gordian knot would rule Asia. Alexander the Great simply cut the knot with one stroke of his sword. Hence the saying, "to cut the Gordian knot", meaning to solve a difficult problem by a simple, bold, and effective action.
Many people think that there is no Gordian complexity to commercial real estate. The recovery in commercial estate will happen once jobs start coming back.
It's not so simple. The July 20, 2011 The Moody's/REAL Commercial Property Price Index (CPPI) measured a 6.3% increase in May, the first positive move in six months and the largest one-month increase since the inception of the index. This index measures the change in actual transaction prices for commercial real estate assets based on the repeat-sales of the same assets at different points in time.
Distressed transactions registered a price increase of 4.8%. Accounting for 27.0% of repeat sales, they switched this month from being a drag to a contributor to a price recovery.
Let me know if you would like a copy of the July Moody's/Real Commercial Property Price Index report.
SBA 7(a) and 504 loans are available for buyers not wanting to miss out on opportunities in commercial real estate.
SBA LIBOR Base Rate July 2011 = 3.19%
SBA Fixed Base Rate July 2011 = 5.66%
504 Debenture Rate for July
The debenture rate is 3.74% but note rate is 3.79% and effective yield is only 5.59%.
Note that the effective yield for debt refinance under the 504 program is slightly higher.
It is now 5.947%.
The Federal Reserve meets next week on monetary policy. The decision on what the Federal Open Market Committee does with interest rates comes on the heels of another report on jobs for the month of July.
Keep your eye on Friday's payroll report from the Department of Labor.

What does all this mean?
I don't know.
Job growth has obviously stalled in the second quarter.
Through the first six months of 2011, the economy has added 757,000 total non-farm jobs or just 126,000 per month. There have been 945,000 private sector jobs added, or about 158,000 per month. This barely keeps up with population growth. While this is a better pace of payroll job creation than last year, the economy still has 6.98 million fewer payroll jobs than at the beginning of the 2007 recession.
The Federal Reserve will have no choice but to keep hacking at the Gordian knot by keeping interest rates low for an extended period.
I am not a Constitutional scholar but here's something interesting.
Section 4 of the 14th Amendment reads: "The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payments of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned."
The Supreme Court has on only one occasion -- in the depths of the Depression -- had the opportunity to rule on this section. In that case, Perry v. United States, the Court said, "The Constitution gives to the Congress the power to borrow money on the credit of the United States ... Having this power to authorize the issue of definite obligations for the payment of money borrowed, the Congress has not been vested with authority to alter or destroy those obligations."
Now that Congress has borrowed money and incurred debt, we cannot -- as a nation and under our Constitution -- walk away.
It sounds like the whole debt ceiling debate, like most political debates, was a bunch of hot air and idle banter. The President could have pulled his sword out and cut that Gordian knot awhile ago.
More importantly, the Detroit Tigers went out and got some more pitching by trading for Doug Fister. Fister was the Mariners number three starter. Up to his last start before being dealt to the Detroit Tigers, Fister pitched to a 3–12 record with only a 3.33 ERA. Don't be deceived by his win-loss record. He has the lowest run support in major-league baseball. And it's not even close. Fister's run support is 1.97 per nine innings. Next closest is San Diego's Dustin Moseley at 2.55. He also has great control. Fister is tied for seventh among all American League pitchers with 2.0 walks per nine innings.

The Homeland Security Department is certifying employees who are innovative.
A new program awards "digi-badges" to those employees who are putting into practice what they are learning about using digital services to improve DHS' mission.
Soraya Correa, the chief procurement officer at DHS, said the agency is emphasizing to acquisition employees and program managers the importance of addressing challenges in a different way.
"I think it's a good way to encourage people to continue to participate in the webinars, to continue to be innovative and to continue to learn because that's what this is really about," Correa said in an exclusive interview with Federal News Radio. "It's staying on top of the business, making sure we understand how technology is changing, how we are trying to change procurement and how we can do business better. Good government is important to us."
Correa said the goal of "digi-badges" is to recognize those early adopters and create a "trickle-down" effect around digital services.
Insight by ServiceNow: Learn how data is revolutionizing talent management in DoD in this exclusive ebook.
DHS' first step in this effort was to name Eric Cho as its acquisition innovation advocate. The Office of Management and Budget required every agency to name an advocate in its March 2016 memo. Correa said DHS then went one step further by asking each of DHS' component agencies to name acquisition innovators.
"We have an acquisition innovation acquisition council that is meeting on a regular basis to talk about where we can innovate. We are challenging them to bring us innovations and ideas they have for how we can innovate in each of the components to perhaps identify three procurements where we will try something new," she said. "It's about challenging them, but you can't force it. If you force it, you probably will not be successful. It really has to come naturally. Through the training, we think we induce that."
DHS launched its Procurement Innovation Lab (PIL) about a year ago to experiment with ways to improve both acquisition processes and specific projects themselves. Correa said the PIL has completed nine projects and is working on nine others.
One recent project focused on reducing the backlog of low-risk, low-cost contracts that need to be closed out.
"I still want them to focus on the actual procurement process. My goal is to simplify, streamline and make it a little more efficient to accomplish our buying based on what we are buying. Obviously, not everything can be done in 30 days and not everything should take six months," Correa said. "It's about getting that lead time down to a very manageable level, a little bit more predictable level and to make sure that the innovations that we have, people feel comfortable using them and understanding them."
A key piece of that innovation effort is working closely with industry as well.
Sign up for our newsletters for the latest news affecting the federal workforce.
To that end, DHS is hosting its third reverse industry day on Jan. 10 in Washington.
"In support of Acquisition Innovations in Motion (AIiM) and the Secretary's Unity of Effort initiative, this learning event is designed to improve DHS' understanding of industry processes and methodologies related to identifying and tracking DHS opportunities, pricing, proposal preparation, and various contract performance considerations," DHS wrote in the FedBizOpps notice from November. "The event will provide DHS' acquisition workforce an opportunity to learn about the issues that are most important to industry when doing business with the department."
DHS held two previous reverse industry days in November 2015 and May 2016.
Additionally, DHS held two strategic industry conversations in February and October 2016.
"The goal of the strategic industry conversation is to have just a high-level discussion with industry about topics of industry. Whether it's talking about our strategic priorities, talking about high-level program requirements, where we envision where we are going with a particular program like aviation security or biometrics and then to also talk about some of our business processes in areas of interest where industry wants to learn more, like our strategic sourcing and category management initiatives or our small business initiatives. The purpose of the strategic industry conversation was to bring in our professionals here at DHS and hook them up with industry and have a good dialogue with industry about the things we are doing."
Correa said the biggest takeaway from the strategic industry conversation is DHS needs to communicate with industry earlier and often to help contractors understand the agency's goals.
"The biggest accomplishment that comes out of this industry conversation is understanding each other better. That's critical, especially for an agency like ours who has such a difficult and ever-changing mission," she said. "I think it's really important that we have this dialogue going so that we are learning from one another and industry has a better understanding of the problems we are trying to solve."

Dry Creek Not Dry Boulder floods
Flooding Boulder county 9/12/13 #
This is where this vid eas taken: https://bouldercolorado.gov/osmp/dry-creek-trailhead
If you are someone who has moved to colorado please remember we call dry ravines creeks for a reason… either there used to be water there or there will be water there in times like these. The landscape aound us shows us well where water is likely to gather in times of flood. Please stay out of those areas be they manmade or natural. That being said, I saw lots of folks out enjoying the rain. Walking, biking, etc and I had to go nearly to boulder city limits to get an image of any impressiveness, and even those images are not impressive unless you know what the area usually looks like.

Letter to my senator to KILL FED Bill S.1310, the "Dietary Supplement Labeling Act of 2011″
Letter to my senator to KILL FED Bill S.1310, the "Dietary Supplement Labeling Act of 2011
Dear Senator,
Citing problems with the marketing and labeling of energy drinks and brownies, Senator Dick
Durbin has introduced S.1310, the "Dietary Supplement Labeling Act of 2011." I am writing you to tell you
that this bill is unnecessary, fixes no problems whatsoever, and is a job-killer. I am whole-heartedly
opposed to this bill.
Senator Durbin is hyping this bill to you and colleagues as one to "protect consumers" of dietary
supplements by increasing FDA regulations on supplements because of a supposed gray line between
conventional foods and dietary supplements. Yet, for ten years the FDA has been at fault. It has blindly
refused to clarify what it considers to be conventional-food dietary ingredients (triggering different
ingredient safety requirements) and what it considers to be dietary-supplement ingredients (regulated
under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994). DSHEA mandates that dietarysupplement ingredients be regulated under a different set of standards and requirements than those
covering conventional foods and prescription and OTC drug products.
Amazingly, S.1310 has only one clause in it that is even directly related to the conventional-food
and dietary-supplement ingredient issue (requiring the HHS Secretary to establish a definition of
"conventional foods"). Clearly, Senator Durbin is using this bill as his vehicle for other purposes, mainly to
strangle the supplement industry and dry up supply to consumers. In fact, even that one provision is
unnecessary since DSHEA already defines a dietary supplement as a product with a "dietary ingredient"
intended to supplement the diet and mandates that a supplement cannot be legally marketed or labeled
as a sole-source food product. So, obviously, S.1310's real purpose is to establish expensive, drug-like
FDA approval requirements for proving the safety of supplements. This threatens the supplement
industry and the jobs that go with it.
Yet dietary supplements are already among the safest consumer products around. In recent
years, the Centers for Disease Control have reported zero deaths from consumption of dietary
supplements and during the last 25 years, more deaths have been reported from bee stings, lightning
strikes, or horse-riding accidents than from supplements. This compares extremely favorably to FDAapproved drugs, licensed hospitals, and licensed medical doctors that account for hundreds of thousands
of deaths a year! Clearly, there is no need for this legislation.
Further, dietary-supplement manufacturers and supplement consumers should not be penalized
simply because a few conventional food manufacturers exploiting an FDA regulatory snafu caused by the
Agency's ineptitude in not having or enforcing a policy for products marketed and labeled as dietary
supplements when they are in fact conventional foods. Under existing Federal law, supplements are not
conventional foods and they are not drugs. Energy drinks and brownies are not supplements.
Senator Durbin is engaging in yet another bait-and-switch on the intent of S.1310 and what it
really proposes. This is not the first time this Senator has attempted to impose his own personal agenda
for public-policy purposes – the repeal of the DSHEA law. Millions of other supplement consumers and I
are aware of the Senator's agenda with S.1310. Please do not support this misguided legislation.
Before I was placed on the Colorado Medical Marijuana Registry in June
2009, I would have to visit a doctors office several times a month,
sometimes several times a week, sometimes with several appointments
booked the same day with specialists and tests, painful and difficult
physical therapy that seemed to harm more than hurt, etc., and there
were to many trips to the emergency room to count.
I went to the ER out of sheer desperation, I went just so I could get
comfortable enough to have a bit of sleep after a week or more of
lingering in a painful place that seemed to be located in deep within
the realm of a narcotic distorted pain haze, a no-where-land that
seemed to be somewhere between life and death. The doctors in the
emergency room and elsewhere often treated me as though I was an
addict, and not a pain patient, AND I WAS MISERABLE!
Since I was approved for the medical marijuana registry I haven't
needed near the amount of services from the medicaid/medicare program.
In fact, I've had to see a doctor twice since June 3, 2009 when the
doctor signed my forms.
Once to have 14 teeth pulled, a little bit of dental work made
necessary by a combination of years of no dental benefits unless my
teeth couldn't be saved and needed to be pulled, being on narcotics
for almost a decade, and dealing with severe
The other doctor visit (and medications that followed) were for a bad
cold that I caught at the dentists office. I haven't seen a doctor at
all otherwise, although I do call my family doctor to check in and let
her know I am doing well.
Before I was on the MMJ registry, I was on so many medications (20
plus medications taken at various intervals though the day) that I
felt like I was taking a pill every 2 minutes…. Number of
traditional prescriptions I take daily now – ZERO.
Now the government was paying for all those medications I was on
before through medicare/medicaid, plus all the doctor visits to get,
maintain, and change dosing on those prescriptions right? Some of
those medications by themselves cost the government thousands of
dollars a month! Many could not have refills on them by law and
required a doctor visit every time I needed more.
I always felt guilty about my personal burden on the American
Taxpayers. But now I don't have to feel guilty cause I have given a
present to the American Taxpayer. I got on the MMJ registry. Now I do
not go to the mainstream doctor unless I need antibiotics. I am off
all prescriptions.
This herb is profoundly changing lives! It is healing people, body,
mind, and soul. Yet its legal users get treated as if they are using
it for recreation. I believe recreational use is a VALID use of the
plant, further I feel it be legalized and would be an important source
of revenue for America if it were to be legal once again. However,
that is not why I personally NEED this plant.
This plant allows me to eat, to sleep, to get out of my bed, to manage
my pain enough to have a job, to be involved with life instead of
living in a nightmare world just praying for the end to come soon. If
you happen to be a Fibromyalgia patient praying for the end, you can
be praying for a long time as this is not a terminal disease.
sources on Fibromyalgia suspect that this disease has been
around for all time, a genetic disease with a trigger, and its
symptoms are found even in individuals of remote tribes of Africa and
the Amazon who have no contact with the west. So why should I use new
untested man-made medicine created by people who don't understand my
disease and possibly believe it doesn't exist? Especially when that
disease has been treated with herbs known to posses pain relieving
qualities for many generations of humans?
Now you want to change all the natural suppliments that I use along with my medicinal cannabis and make my life even more difficult. Senator Bennet, I wite you often won't you please give me more than an auto response?

text: So today, day 2 of our trip, we went to a place called Scarlet Road. None of us really knew what our job would be there, what we were going to be challenged with, or how the organization really worked. Once we got there, after talking to one of the founders of Scarlet Road, we quickly realized the greatness and beauty of that specific type of ministry. For those of you that don't know what Scarlet Road is, it's a Christ centered organization that works with mostly woman who are victims of sex trafficking. We heard facts, stories, and saw the passion of the place that we entered, quickly changing the way we looked at that particular issue that occurs almost everywhere. Throughout our time being there, we talked with people we met previously on the trip, shared stories, helped rearrange an office space for these woman to do a job that for us was somewhat little and not so complicated, but for them was time consuming and difficult to accomplish thoroughly. I feel like personally that particular issue hit close to home because of things that I have experienced in my life, causing me to ask questions and speak with the founder on a different level. This conversation mad me realized the seriousness of the issue and all of the dynamics behind it. This day overall was very successful, we helped these women, we learned a lot personally, and I really felt God in that short time we were there, so I'm thankful for that time, and the opportunities that came, we all are.

Landscaping can be very enjoyable if you have specific plans of what you want to do and the knowledge of how to do it. Whether you have a large area to work with or just a small back yard, you can make good use of the tips below to create outdoor beauty.
Consider granite for your surfaces when installing a kitchen outdoors. While marble or some other material would cost you much less money, you can place hot things on granite without it getting damaged, and it does not require a lot of maintenance.
If you have children, or would like an area to entertain guests, it would be wise to plan out an open space in your landscaping. Make sure that you allocate this space, before starting your landscaping project, so that you ensure that you will have enough room once you are done.
A great way to determine which plants you want to include in your landscaping is to visit a gardening center. This will allow you to view a variety of plant life so that you can determine which plants best fit your style. Visit your local gardening center to help you make your landscaping as beautiful as possible.
A lot of people fail to consider buying landscaping plants online. Actually, it's very easy and convenient to shop online; however, you may find more rare and unusual plants that at a local home center or nursery.
Consider the structures that are already in place before modifying your landscape. Know where all pipes and other hardware are located so that you can landscape around them. To protect yourself, call your city to find out if there are any cables located where you will be placing your landscape designs.
Start buying your materials in phases. Few people can afford to buy everything for their projects all at once. By dividing projects into multiple phases, you can pay for what you need as you go. This may save you money, help you keep track of your progress, and let you adjust plans prior to your next phase.
Be aware that your lawn still needs to be taken of when in the fall, and winter months. You should still be watering your lawn until the ground freezes. By not doing so, your grass could actually die. However, if you are in an area that gets a lot of rain in the fall, or winter, you may not need to water it.
Speak often with your neighbors and friends about your landscaping plans. They may also want to do work on their yards, and you may be able to go in together to rent things like chippers or tillers. By sharing this equipment, you will all save money and be able to get your work done.
If you are the proud owner of a new home, you probably have landscaping work to do. An empty lot can be a challenge so you will need to educate yourself about landscaping. Use the tips above to make the space around your new home into the showcase of the neighborhood.

Juridica International 2018 issue discusses current developments in legal interpretation
Juridica International 2018 issue "Current Developments in Legal Interpretation" offers broad-based analysis of various modern legal problems and their solution from a wealth of perspectives.
"Although the legislator's goal is to ensure legal regulation is as precise as possible, there are always some gaps that need to be filled through either analogy or interpretation. Also, case law and the interpretations of legal professionals have an important role to play in the understanding of legal regulation and in application of the law. Alongside analysis of the bottlenecks found in the current law, historical experience should not be overlooked either. The dissection of a legal situation in the past, one long forgotten, may offer us an unexpected and necessary solution for applicable legislation," writes Professor Gaabriel Tavits in the editorial column.
The authors of the current issue are Liina Reisberg, Julia Laffranque, Mario Rosentau, Olja Kivistik, Marju Luts-Sootak, Karin Visnapuu, Hannes Veinla, Andres Vutt, Margit Vutt, Gaabriel Tavits, Yana Simutina, Kristjan Kask, Liisa Tarkus, Alina Harkovskaja, Raul Narits, Silvia Kaugia, Iris Pettai, Tiina Mikk, Karin Sein, Erkki Hirsnik, Marje Allikmets, Maret Kruus, Rainis Int, Ants Nõmper and André Dias Pereira.

Bilateral economic relations
The Italian economic presence in Jordan is marked by commercial exchanges more than by productive investments.
In the last two years, a sharp boost to the commercial bilateral relations was given by major promotional events such as the Jordan - Italy Business Forum in Milan (October 2009), the Economic Forum of Amman (June 2010) and several missions in 2010 (in the fields of civil nuclear energy and transports).
The bilateral trade balance is traditionally in favour of Italy.
Our exports reach to over than the 90% of the interchange total value. According to ISTAT data, taking as reference the first six months of 2011, our exportations recorded an increase of 62% in comparison with the same span of 2010, and they overcame the amount of 320 million euros, in spite of the global economic crisis.
In the same period imports stayed stable (36.2 million euros).
As a result, for the first time Italy is the first European Union supplier of Jordan with a market share of 14.2%, followed by Germany which had always been the leading supplying country.
On a global scale, Italy is the third supplier of the Kingdom (after Saudi Arabia and China), while ranks sixth in the overall interchange computation.
The main items of our exports are represented by refined petroleum products, metals and metal products (mostly gold scraps and jewellery products), mechanical and electrical machineries and equipments.

Music Study Program in Ireland Takes Root
Program from the MSU Office for Education Abroad partners with the Royal Irish Academy of Music in Dublin.
After an early summer trip to Ireland that organizers characterized as outstanding, the College of Music at Michigan State University has formalized the "Music Performance in Ireland" program into an annual excursion.
As a faculty-directed program offered through the MSU Office for Education Abroad, the program partners with the Royal Irish Academy of Music. The primary area of study is flute, be it a primary or secondary instrument for music majors and minors. While the first trip in 2017 included the College of Music flute studio, the experience was so energizing that organizers would like to see the attendee pool expand.
"The focus this year was clearly on flute playing, and as the originator of this program that makes sense to me," said program director Richard Sherman, professor of flute in the College of Music and principal flute with the Chautauqua (New York) Symphony and Lansing Symphony orchestras. "We had such an amazing experience with our partners there that I would love to see the pool of applicants expand to include other musicians as well as students who would benefit from an incredible two weeks of art and culture."
Program coordinator Emily Roberts explained that in the program's first year, the trial run trip of sorts in 2017, all participants were college and graduate level flutists. In fact, flutists who sign up do not have to be from MSU, and out-of-state tuition is waived. The program, however, is eager to field inquiries from other students who may be interested.
"Flutists attend master classes with a focus on orchestral flute and piccolo, traditional and contemporary Irish flute playing, and we organize a lot of other activities that allow participants to see Dublin and the countryside while taking in concerts and having a variety of experiences," said Roberts, a doctoral candidate in flute performance who studies with Sherman.
For College of Music majors and minors, the program fulfills elective credits. Non-music majors should check with an academic advisor to see how these elective credits may be used in their programs.
"The whole idea of this program is to create a situation where students can immerse themselves in Irish music and culture for 17 days," Sherman said. "The Royal Irish Academy of Music is a terrific partner institution, and with their help we're able to make this a life-changing, personal growth opportunity for students."
Students like Marissa Casano, who traveled with the program in its inaugural year, agree.
"It is one thing to sit in a classroom and hear a lecture, but it is an entirely different learning process to actually experience the music in a cultural setting," said Casano, a senior from Troy, Michigan, majoring in Music Education. "We listened to live street performers, traditional Celtic bands, and professional Irish flutists. I experienced music in an entirely new way."
The 2018 program will run from May 30 to June 15. Applications are due by March 1, 2018. Sherman and Roberts said the program is ideal for flutists, but they welcome inquiries from prospective attendees with a musical background or strong interest. More information can be found on the program Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/MusicInIreland/) or by emailing Roberts at firstname.lastname@example.com.
"The musicians that are brought in by Professor Sherman are the best of the best," Casano added. "By traveling internationally, I was able to gain confidence and learn more about myself through experiences inside and outside of the classroom."
Kate Falck, also a Music Education senior who went on the inaugural trip, agreed. "This is an extremely flexible program which can be applied towards creative musicianship credits and elective credits," added Falck, "and the coordinators and professors put in countless of hours of hard work to make this program work for every student who wants to participate. I loved that we had ample time to experience the culture of Ireland in addition to the music of Ireland. There were so many different players and educators brought in who we had the opportunity to learn from, and I felt like all of their perspectives, expertise, philosophies, and teaching strategies gave me many ideas which I can employ in my classroom as a future music educator."

The Federal Aviation Administration has picked the Kansas Department of Transportation to be a part of the Unmanned Aircraft System Integration Pilot Program. This program will help state, local and tribal governments partner with private sector drone operators and manufacturers to expedite drone integration nationwide.
U.S. Senator Pat Roberts said "Kansas is and always has been a leader in aviation," said Senator Roberts. "I look forward to seeing the many innovative ways KDOT, along with our state universities, will use unmanned aircraft technologies to help a variety of industries including agriculture."
"Kansas has a rich aviation heritage and I am proud to say that for UAS research, testing and development, Kansas is once again leading the way on the national and global stage," said Senator Jerry Moran. "Kansas is the first state to have Unmanned Traffic Management in place for all state agencies, airports and institutes of higher education and the selection of the Integration Pilot Program will allow Kansas to build upon our momentum and unlock the incredible economic potential this technology can have for our country."
According to the FAA, the program is an opportunity for state, local, and tribal governments to partner with private sector entities, such as UAS operators or manufacturers, to accelerate safe UAS integration. The program will help the U.S. Department of Transportation and FAA craft new enabling rules that allow more complex low-altitude operations by:
- Identifying ways to balance local and national interests related to UAS integration
- Improving communications with local, state and tribal jurisdictions
- Addressing security and privacy risks
- Accelerating the approval of operations that currently require special authorizations.
The State of Kansas was the first state to name a director for Unmanned Aircraft Systems and has already deployed an unmanned traffic management system.
The program aims to identify security and privacy risks, improve communications between local, state and tribal jurisdictions, balance local and national interests related to drones and accelerate the approval of operations that currently require special authorization.
This program is expected to help the agriculture industry, photographers, emergency management, infrastructure inspections and commerce.

Czech Essay Contest - Sept 2006
Czech Students Honored For Their Essays
September 16, 2006 Narodni Archiv, 133 Milady Horakova, Praha
Four Czech Republic students who won CGSI's family history essay competition were honored Saturday, September 16, 2006 at a special award event CGSI sponsored in Prague. Hosted by the National Archives' Dr. Lenka Matusikova, assisted by her colleague Dr. Helena Klimova, the reception featured a special tour of the archives' most ancient documents.
Pictures were taken of the winners and of the presentation.
Prizes of $250 for first place and $100 each for three winners who shared second place were awarded by CGSI 1st vice-president Dottie Speidel, assisted by Dr. Miroslav Koudelka, CGSI's local representative.
The competition's first prize went to Sona Svancarova, Kunstat, who wrote about her great great great-grandfather who was a master potter in that town. Sona hopes to study law in Brno after graduation from gymnasium (high school). The second place winners of $100 each were Michal Morawetz, Ceske Velenice; Klara Borovcova, Mlada Boleslav; and Lenka Vomackova, Cernosice. As the winners were announced, the students introduced their guests and spoke briefly about the subjects of their essays, which will be available from time to time in the Nase rodina and on CGSI's web site.
The first place essay by Sona Svancarova is available for your review.
At the event, local coordinator Vojtiska Kupcova explained how the competition was conducted and introduced members of the screening committee, which had chosen the six best essays as finalists. A volunteer, she had circulated the competition announcement and later convened a screening committee consisting of Dr. Vladimir Karfik of the Czech Writers Union, chairman; Dr. Koudelka; literary editor Zdenko Pavelka, and genealogist Jan Dus.
Final selection of winners was accomplished in the US by Daniel Necas, Immigation History Center at the University of Minnesota; and CGSI committee members Chuck Romportl, Ginger Simek and Dottie Speidel.
In addition to the special tour, Dr. Matusikova presented the students and guests with three of the archives' publications, the 50th anniversary book "Nothing and Nobody Should Be Forgotten," "Treasures of the Central Archives," and the publication prepared for the exhibit at CGSI's 2005 Back to the Homeland conference.
During the tour, the visitors saw samples of the berni rula, the Soupis, ancient color-coded volumes with painted decorations, and a sample of old documents destroyed by corrosive ink or fire. Especially compelling was a skull and crossbones-decorated volume, its black cover recording victims of the Black Death (14th century) and a "constitution" of the same period outlining the responsibilities of the common people to the owner of the property on which they lived.
After the tour, the group reconvened for coffee and strudel, and informal discussion, with comments from Dr. Karfik noting the intertwining of national and personal histories.
Michal, whose family home in a Sudeten area had been under many different flags, and whose family had been evicted from their home at one point, volunteered that his interest after graduation next year will be the study of history.
Gratitude was expressed to the Czech-based Open Society Foundation and the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs for their assistance with the competition. In addition to those mentioned, attendees included US embassy public affairs representative Jitka Vildova, who is investigating her own Czech family history.

It's good to be back in the office. Thanks especially to Doug for all the good work he did in my absence. We are well served by his ministry. Thanks also to Jennifer who preached all three Sundays and to everyone who had a hand in keeping our operations running smoothly in my absence. And thanks to you all for making this sabbatical time available to me. It is invaluable and I pray it will bear fruit in our life and ministry together.
Though this was the last of three January intensives, I do have some work to do in order to meet the requirements for the diploma. I have 5 brief papers and 4 practice sessions to do between now and the middle of May. The time away was intense and meaningful, especially the interaction with the other students and faculty. This year's focus was on systems and structures as well as contemporary issues. I learned a lot exploring how systems and structures help to sustain racism, domestic violence, hunger, gang violence, the "new Jim Crow" (mass incarceration) and powers that oppress. We have explored some of these issues as a congregation in the past and will continue to address them as we move forward.
I was very sorry to hear of that death of Marcus Borg last week. Though roundly criticized by many for his challenges to the tales of the "historical Jesus," he was a deeply devoted practitioner of the faith who provided a source of hope and faith for many.
The point is not that Jesus was a good guy who accepted everybody, and thus we should do the same (though that would be good). Rather, his teachings and behavior reflect an alternative social vision. Jesus was not talking about how to be good and how to behave within the framework of a domination system. He was a critic of the domination system itself.
In those words, he asks to see that Jesus was a major opponent of domination systems. In The Heart of Christianity, his masterful statement of faith, Borg wrote, "The Christian life is about a relationship with God that transforms us into more compassionate beings. The God of love and justice is the God of relationship and transformation…The Christian life is not about believing or doing what we need to believe or do so that we can be saved. Rather, it's about seeing what is already true — that God loves us already — and then beginning to live in this relationship. It is about becoming conscious of and intentional about a deepening relationship with God."
These words speak to me a profoundly spiritual vision. What would the world be like if we committed ourselves to be "conscious of and intentional about" our relationship with God, the one in whom we live and move and have our being? It seems to me that this practice would have transformative consequences for our lives as individuals as well as our life as a congregation.
Sunday we will consider Jesus as a teacher, looking at some of his own teaching as well literature from the Hebrew scripture in which he would have grounded. Always we are looking for what Jesus and these texts have to tell us about God's way and God's work in the world. Join me as we continue to make the road by walking. After worship this week we will have our annual meeting. Everyone who is interested in the ongoing life of FBCPA is encouraged to attend. See you Sunday at 10:00 AM
God grant us more light, more love, more life as we journey together.
Pastor Rick

Squid Ink Reads The Bible
The Bible is the world's most read book. I'm sure therefore it is the world's most discussed book (that is discussed not disgusted, although if a book could speak it might tell us it was disgusted but that's another story). Squid Ink seems to have the water and the fish, but is missing the loaves. Does it matter if Squid Ink is missing the loaves, does Squid Ink eat bread? I will have to ask the artist.
Dracula, Squid Ink style
There have been many books and movies written about Dracula, but the best books are the original which I've scribbled a few words here about and Dracula – The Un-Dead written by a descendent of Bram Stoker, you can find the few words I've written here. Here is the Squid Ink version.

Aim: Diabetic retinopathy is a microvascular complication of diabetes that leads to blindness. Hyperglycemia causes oxidative stress, which is an important cause in the pathogenesis of microangiopathy. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential protective effects of astragaloside IV (AS-IV) in retinal capillary endothelial cells (RCECs) incubated with high glucose conditions.
Methods and results: Based on rat RCECs cultured with high glucose (30 mM) in vitro, a significant increase in cell viability in rat RCECs incubated with both AS-IV and high glucose for 48 or 72 h by MTT assay. The increased viability was accompanied by decreased glucose transporter-1 expression using immunofluorescent assay. Meanwhile, AS-IV reduced intracellular hydrogen peroxide and superoxide, decreased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species in rat RCECs with high glucose by the fluorescent probes, and lowered malondialdehyde levels. In addition, AS-IV increased the activities of total superoxide dismutase, MnSOD, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase. The glutathione content also increased after AS-IV treatment. Furthermore, AS-IV reduced NADPH oxidase 4 expression by western blot method.
Conclusion: These results suggest that the main mechanism underlying the protective effects of AS-IV in high glucose-injured RCECs may be related to its antioxidative function.
Keywords: astragaloside IV, retinal capillary endothelial cells, oxidative stress, Glut1, Nox4

Gluten-Free Sourdough Waffles
I'm in the process of taking a course on sourdough bread from Recipes for Living. Out of respect for Chris, I'm not going to post details of what I'm doing under his tutelage – I may post photos! – but here's some other action.
This morning we decided it was time to use the traditional waffle iron we bought a while back. I never ate waffles growing up, so had not experience of what they should be like. However, I hacked together a recipe based on one here together with the flour which we ground last night based on specifications from here.
- 1/2 cup (4 oz or 115 g) melted butter
- 1 cup (250 ml) water
- 1 cup + 1 T (270ml) starter (flour mix #2)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp (packed) brown sugar
- 1 cup brown rice flour
- 3/4 cup tapioca flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
The original recipe mixes everything bar the eggs and baking soda and leaves overnight. I didn't have that luxury so went straight ahead and mixed in the eggs and baking soda upfront – and then simply heated the waffle iron on the gas burner and cooked about 1 cup of batter at a time for about 3 minutes a side.
I have not really eaten waffles before, but my partner has – and she was very positive. The waffles were crispy and brown on the outside with a chewy, soft core and a distinct sourdough taste. I think it could certainly be done without the sugar, and likely would benefit from adding some lemon. Savoury buckwheat waffles should also work well. More to follow!

Pure Steel
Back Download
These 2 mm thick, uncoated carbon steel frying pans are energy-efficient and, with every use, develop a natural non-stick layer, called patina. The darker the patina, the better the non-stick properties – a process that makes the pan especially durable. The long handle, attached with stainless steel rivets to the pan, allows the space-saving stacking of different sized pans. In order to ensure that the heat of the pan is not transferred to the cast handle, the handle forks out and tapers toward the rim of the pan.
Statement by the Jury
These frying pans owe their puristic appearance to a consistent design, showcasing the material properties of carbon steel.
