Mark Murless and Theunis Spangenberg share the R1,2-million Nashua Masters lead on six-under-par 64 following a drama-packed first round on Thursday which saw Eugen Marugi's hopes dashed when he was bitten by a night adder.
The 24-year-old Marugi, one of South Africa's most promising young black professionals, was bitten on the left arm by the venomous snake while searching for his golf ball in thick bush flanking the Wild Coast Sun County Club's 12 fairway.
One under par at the time of the incident, a panicking Marugi was rushed to nearby Port Edward where a blood test revealed the identity of the snake, and anti-venom was administered.
On Thursday night the golfer was recovering at the resort with a still-painful arm. But the night adder, although not as poisonous as other adders like the puff-adder, had destroyed his dream of a good finish as he was unable to continue play.
Both Murless and Spangenberg can dream of their first win on the more glamorous summer swing of the Sunshine Tour.
Three weeks ago Murless was in contention in the R10-million Joburg Open, which is co-sanctioned with the European Tour, but fell out of the running on the final day.
Now the 31-year-old former SA Amateur strokeplay champion, who has three winter tour wins to his name, has another chance of breaking through in the summer following his eight-birdie return here.
"I enjoy this course and have had more top 10s here than anywhere else I've played," said the Blue Valley professional who has been on the tour for 12 years.
"It's a course which suits my eye and where you have to think your way round.
"Position is more important than being able to pull out the driver and hit the ball a mile - and that's how I like to play."
Sishen Golf Club's Spangenberg ,24, who won the SA Boys title as a teenager, has been a professional for only two years and has finished in the top 10 in tournaments twice only.
One shot behind the leaders on 65 are Justin Walters, Grant Muller and big-hitting Titch Moore, who enjoys the course and has finished second three times in this tournament.
Lindani Ndwandwe, Marc Cayeux, Wayne de Haas, Brett Liddle and Martin Maritz are bracketed on 66, while defending champion Jean Hugo opened with a solid round of 68.

Safety Train Keeps Local Emergency Responders on Track
Union Pacific provides training for rail-related chemical emergencies
Houston, Texas, October 14, 2010 Local emergency responders today received hands-on training aboard a Safety Train designed to prepare them for chemical emergencies on the railroad tracks through a program sponsored by Union Pacific Railroad in Houston.
The three-day event, which started Tuesday, was part of a tour by Transportation Community Awareness and Emergency Response (TRANSCAER®), a national outreach effort that has trained hundreds of fire fighters, police officers and other community responders. With a locomotive and six rail cars, the program's Safety Train provided participants the opportunity to access railroad safety equipment.
"Rail is the safest way to ship hazardous materials and we are required by federal law to do so," said Timothy O'Brien, director of environmental operations for Union Pacific's southern region. "Our top priority is to ensure that chemicals are transported in the safest manner, but we also want to provide training resources that help prepare emergency responders for possible emergencies."
Two box cars served as classrooms where instructors reviewed how chemicals are shipped on the railroad. Emergency responders climbed on tank cars to learn how components, such as safety valves, work. They also learned how to repair chemical leaks through simulated exercises.
"This training enhances our emergency response program by giving us valuable experience that will help us keep our communities safe," said Houston District Fire Chief John Douglas, who oversees the fire department's hazardous materials response team. "It also gives us the opportunity to have open discussions with the representatives who will partner with us if there is an emergency."
The 2010 TRANSCAER Training Tour has helped prepare emergency responders in Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas. Tour partners include the Firefighters Education and Training Foundation, CHEMTREC and other local agencies.
Founded by Union Pacific Railroad and Dow in 1986, TRANSCAER provides programs that help communities prepare for and respond to a possible hazardous material transportation incident. TRANSCAER members consist of volunteer representatives from the chemical manufacturing, transportation, distributor, and emergency response industries, as well as government agencies.

Reich continues to struggle, trying to recapture his early success. After a rather intriguing setup, this third novel gradually evolves into something more like an unintentional parody than a real thriller. Following the altogether lackluster Allan Folsom–esque Nazi war crimes plot of The Runner, the Swiss banker–turned–thriller writer returns to the more familiar arena of international finance, which provided the intriguing backdrop of his 1998 bestselling debut, Numbered Account. But action and pacing are made to substitute for the authenticity and credibility that distinguished his promising first novel. Borrowing to the hilt in a go-for-broke move, Jett Gavallan, ex–Gulf War fighter pilot turned founding CEO of Frisco-based Black Jet Securities—an up-and-coming investment banking firm—puts all his chips on the line for the chance to take public Mercury Broadband (Russia's answer to AOL) with shares worth $2 billion. The pot of gold at the end of his rainbow is a cool $70 million, but all is not blue skies. An enigmatic online financial analyst, Private Eye-PO, starts warning investors that the deal is bad, leading Jett to send partner Grafton Byrnes undercover to Moscow to verify the legitimacy of Mercury Broadband. Graf calls in with a coded warning that all is not well, Jett's investigator locates the real Private Eye-PO in Delray Beach, Fla., and bodies begin piling up. Credibility wanes and action spins out of control as Jett and an old flame embark on an intercontinental plane and car chase. Comic-book dialogue ("Kind of you, Mr. Gavallan. It's not often a disloyal, disgraceful slut gets any TLC") makes this thriller read like an old Saturday Night Live skit, which may give it kitsch appeal but undermines its dramatic effect.

Revelation 9:17

Revelation 9:18
By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

Ten years have passed since the end of the war and the foundation of the villages.
It has been an uneasy peace, often broken.
Those children born during the war are just coming of age, poised to unbalance the delicate scales of power. As a generation prepares to graduate from their academies, the villages scramble to ensure that their newest recruits and successors will be ready to meet the challenges of the future.


text: I can never get great details on the XTP's performance. The only thing I can find is that it is a very consistent bullet in both expansion and penetration. What is the street credit for the XTP? Since the XTP is known for penetration, how well suited is it for CCW? These rounds intrigue me with their feed profile similar to that of an FMJ round, great accuracy, and their consistent performance. I just never hear about them involved in a lot of testing, especially in .40 S&W. The best I can get is "I carry the XXX grain XTP." That's great, but why do you carry it? What made you decide to? 155 grain or 180 grain? Thanks for any help in my search of XTP information.

Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2007/03/19 - Frost & Sullivan announces its 2007 Quarterly Analyst Briefing Presentation on Taking the temperature of Audio Conferencing Services in Latin America, to be held on Wednesday, March 21, 2007 at 12:00 pm CDT/ 1:00 pm EDT.
The study conducted focuses on challenges faced by large companies, including high traveling costs of its personnel, along with the loss of productivity. Such challenges have driven Latin American carriers to develop an audio conferencing offering, while non-carrier service providers act as technology consultants, detecting a need that was not being fulfilled, thus launching their own conferencing solutions for corporate markets.
The audio conferencing services market in Latin America is in the early stage of a migration to other forms of conferencing, such as web or video conferencing. Currently, providers have started to see in bundling solutions a way to obtain greater margins and new clients.
Highlights of the briefing include: challenges faced by large companies, situation of carriers vs. non-carriers, migration to other forms of conferencing and the role of bundling solutions in the development of the market.
"Latin American companies are increasingly aware of ways to reduce expenses and improve their financial status. Personnel from these companies keep traveling, generating expenses and often incurring a productivity loss. This situation represents an opportunity for audio conference vendors, providing their clients with the most cost-efficient conferencing options," notes Frost & Sullivan Analyst Victor Hugo Casiano.
To participate, please email Jorgelina Pecina at jorgelina.pecina[.]frost.com with the following information: your full name, company name, title, telephone number, e-mail address, city, state and country. Upon receipt of the above information, a registration link will be emailed to you.
Frost & Sullivan, a global growth consulting company, has been partnering with clients to support the development of innovative strategies for more than 40 years. The company's industry expertise integrates growth consulting, growth partnership services and corporate management training to identify and develop opportunities. Frost & Sullivan serves an extensive clientele that includes Global 1000 companies, emerging companies and the investment community by providing comprehensive industry coverage that reflects a unique global perspective and combines ongoing analysis of markets, technologies, econometrics and demographics.

Empire Polo Field, Indio, Calif.; 27-29 April 2007
UK soul singer Amy Winehouse adds the grit of hip-hop or rock'n'roll to her roots in classic soul and jazz-- all sung in a rugged, graceful voice that conjures busted vodka bottles and rough living.

Share the Adventure ...
Doug pulled his classic racing green 1972 Volvo 1800 estate wagon into the parking garage at terminal A. It had been a long time since he used this terminal to take the daily Janet flights up to "Dreamland" better known as Area 51. Of course the place didn't exist, but the flights still kept going. When he got to the security check-in he had to show his ID card and was directed to Gate 4. He was in seventh heaven when he saw what the Navy sent for him, an old DC3, silver with the black "United States Navy" above the windows. The two pilots were standing at the nose of the plane and headed over to him when he stepped out of the terminal door. "Professor Remington, I'm Captain Hanson and this is Lieutenant Powell, we are to take you to North Island Naval Air Station, San Diego." Doug said "I'm looking forward to flying with you in this beautiful old "Dakota." Would it be possible for me to sit up in the cockpit during the flight?" They smiled at each other and Captain Hanson said, "Sure; let's get aboard." By the time they were making their approach, Doug was strapped in the flight engineer's seat. He had learned that the navy had kept this old World War Two plane because so many admirals had flown in it; Halsey, Niemetz, Rickover, Zimwalt to name a few.

LOS ANGELES — You meet all kinds of people on van rides from airports to hotels.
Well, except in Milwaukee. I can't recall ever sharing an airport shuttle ride there with anyone other than the driver. I mean, do anyone go to Milwaukee?
But I digress.
Earlier this week in St. Louis, I rode in with a very pleasant couple from Michigan who couldn't figure out what time it was. The wife did not understand the concept of the Central Time zone. The husband got it, I think, but screwed it up each time he tried to explain. Finally, I turned around and fumed, "Just set your watch back an hour. Problem solved."
Seated next to me today on the shuttle from LAX to the downtown Marriott was a girl with new-wave hair — multi-colored, wispy, sort of Flock of Seagulls-ish. Never mind that she wasn't old enough to remember Flock of Seagulls in the first place. (Gosh, did I really just write that sentance? How old am I, that I'm already settling into crotchety old man mode?)
Anyway, nobody in the van was saying much because we were too busy listening to the woman sitting behind me. She was telling her son about her recent Brush With Greatness on the streets of Hollywood.
She met … can you believe it? … Tony Danza.
Go ahead, let out that laugh. I couldn't, out of simply courtesy. But I wanted to guffaw in her face and tell her, it wasn't no big thing. In fact, even I once met Tony Danza. It was in 1994, when I was in Las Vegas to cover a Michael Moorer (remember him?) title fight. I went down the strip one night to catch a Tony Bennett show and there in line behind me was Alyssa Milano's dad from "Who's the Boss?" I mean, c'mon. Danza had to stand in line with the rest of us to get in the joint. And he was behind me. Some big star, eh?
Of course, Danza did get a shout-out from Bennett during the show. That was cool.
I'm waiting for Danza to turn up in my hotel shuttle van when I blow outta this town Monday.
— Don't look now, but a big chunk of the Pirates' starting rotation has hit a rough patch.
For the most part, the group was outstanding throughout spring training and into the first couple of weeks of the regular season. But Tony Armas turned in another ugly start tonight, Zach Duke has been roughed up in two straight outings and Paul Maholm is 0-2 with a 6.19 ERA.
Going into Friday's action, Duke had given up 32 hits — tying him with Dontrelle Willis for the most by any pitcher in the majors. Duke also was tied for most earned runs allowed (19).
— The most disturbing trend to come out of this road trip? Strikeouts.
Pirates batters are fanning at an alarming rate — 13 in the two games against St. Louis and 24 in two games against Milwaukee. Tonight, Randy Wolf whiffed 10. That was a season-high for the Dodgers. And with three innings to go as I type this, it could get worse.
— Don Kelly got his first major league hit last week at PNC Park. I asked him today what he did with the ball. "Sold it on eBay," Kelly deadpanned.

Woman REALLY Enjoys New Tattoo
If you are easily offended or underage, split NOW. This video has no nudity. It has no sex. It just features a woman getting a tattoo and evidently she like the feeling a whole bunch and over and over. More after the jump.
Okay the girl and the video are both hot. Still I kept looking at the tattoo guy who really doesn't appear to even know what's going on. He just lays out the ink and let's things happen. Once again, there's some bad language here, but everything else is just kind of suggestive. Check it out:

As modern day activists struggle for their fundamental human rights, it is our duty to speak out on their behalf and, where possible, provide assistance. That is why when we fail to adequately assist the embryonic Libyan government in confronting instability in that country, ignore the plight of persecuted minorities in Egypt and elsewhere, or neglect to stand up to tyrants like Vladimir Putin in Russia, we are in danger of losing part of ourselves.
Of course, the United States can't be involved in every conflict or solve every problem. But our failure to address our fiscal problems at home has unfortunately given our allies — whether longstanding ones like Israel, or potential future partners in the Middle East and Asia — cause to question our staying power and commitment to their security and our shared ideals.
There is no question we need to get our fiscal house in order. But we cannot do so by sacrificing our national security and by forcing our men and women in uniform to bear the brunt of paying to fix a debt problem they did not cause. Congressional Republicans have proposed ways to offset the sequester, automatic budget cuts set to go into effect next month. It's time for the president to propose a way forward other than just raising taxes.

Business Law
Ask a Business Lawyer. Get Business Law Questions Answered ASAP.
Dear Customer, thank you for choosing Just Answer. My name is XXXXX XXXXX I would like to assist you today.
With regards XXXXX XXXXX 1, there is nothing fraudulent or wrong with having a business say that it "supports a non-profit". This is a true statement, not misleading, and so long as the non-profit gives its consent, it is perfectly permissible (many non-profits balk when the business wants to donate only a nominal amount, yet gain the "halo effect".
For Question 2, the for profit business may not take a tax deduction for its sales. The donation is coming from the business, not the customers. (Customer buys $10 worth of merchandise, Store donates $1, the donation to your organization comes from the store, the store is the recipient of the tax benefit).
The IRS keeps a list of charities (501(c)(3)) eligible to receive tax deductible donations. If the for-profit corporation is not on this list, it may not give out the tax deduction to its customers, regardless as to where they want their sales proceeds to go: http://www.irs.gov/Charities-&-Non-Profits/Organizations-Eligible-to-Receive-Tax-Deductible-Charitable-Contributions
Tax consequences and benefits for charitable organizations can be a little complex, but the IRS has a series of publications that can assist you in determining the proper application of tax deductions for donations (of both cash and property) to assist you. You can find the main title here, with links to more specific questions and issues below: http://www.irs.gov/Charities-&-Non-Profits/Charitable-Organizations
Thank you for this information. So, to be clear, unless the Thrift Store is on the IRS' list of companies that can receive a donation AND say that the donation is tax deductible, it can't do that and would be violating the law if it did, right? I want to be able to give our supporters a correct answer and point out that I'm also protecting THEM as well as us.
That is correct. But to clarify further - the Thrift store is still incorrect in that it is making a sale "with 10% of the proceeds going to charity" - which means that the customer is still paying 100% to purchase goods or services. The customer is not making a donation, and will not receive the tax benefit.
Also - if the money were to be deemed a donation, unless the store structured it so that the donation was specifically made to your organization (100% of every dollar goes directly to your organization), the donation would not be to your organization it would be to the Thrift Store's 501(c)(3) entity - which you say does not exist., that they could later pass on to you. In that case the Thrift store would be the one responsible for tracking tax information on the donations, and could similarly donate to whomever they felt like.
(without knowing any of the individuals involved, I would add that it is likely there is nothing nefarious about this effort by the thrift store, an understanding of non-profit tax status, particularly with donations, is not commonplace, and it seems they do have an interest in helping your organization, at the same time taking a reasonable benefit from the advertising good will).
Thanks, XXXXX XXXXX sorry, I don't understand the last part. If the Thrift Store was to make a donation to us in an amount equal to 10% of their sales, wouldn't that be OK?
That is fine, but the Thrift Store is the one making the donation (not the customers). It is fine to advertise this way, they are simply saying that they are a "civic minded organization" and that the customer's purchase goes to support that. But the customer's purchase is not a direct donation, and is not tax deductible.
in other words, couldn't the Thrift Store make a donation that way - we're giving you X dollars, which is an amount equal to 10% of our sales this month - without any tax implications for them? They could take the deduction for the donation, right? It's just like if I gave 100 to my favorite charity because its X% of what I earned that week; like a tithe. The fact that it has a relationship to what I earned is irrelevant, its the fact that I donated it that matters, right?
Oh, I get it. You're saying that the customer's donation isn't tax deductible, but the store's donation to us is, right?
great. Thanks. I get it. I really appreciate the quick answers. Will finalize now. Thanks again!

14. I'm not sure if it's entirely being "chicken shits", it could also be an undeniable sense of the
injustice of how we live; guilt makes us paranoid. Also much of our lives is not about primary (organic) rewards. Paychecks and so much of what we have sold our lives to get them for, it's all derivative, all secondary or even tertiary rewards. So, not only are we instinctually aware of the injustices in what made/makes all of that possible, we also know that we sold ourselves and everyone else and untold human potentials besides for . . . twinkies.
There aren't many people who want to admit that, so they can't, and so also do we prove the value to ourselves of what we have done by continuing to sacrifice so much more blood and potential to it, TTE, "Certainly it is valuable see what 'we' have paid for it?"

That being said, I do disagree when when our "see the hill, take the hill" military has to take on Police responsibilities. They are not trained to be Policemen. They are trained to be Military. I don't care what guns they are trained to use.

6. It's lots of things. I'm glad we're at least thinking.
I've avoided posting this until now. We're not raising our children well. But it's more than that. Doesn't anyone remember seeing that film in high school where up to a certain population, rats lived together without problems? It was after the rats reached a certain number that they began to have issues.
I've had the same reply to just about every problem we've addressed on this forum. In fact it's why I came here so many years ago. I'll say one thing, people have begun to warm up to the notion that there is a very big problem facing us which we almost never discuss. And once again, it plays a role in this topic as well.
If it's not global warming, depletion of fish, deforestation, cost of living, etc., it is also having its effect on culture. One can argue that there are much larger cultures than ours which get along. But not living in the way we do. In America we have increased the pace of life. It's a combination of things. But it is getting clearer what is happening to create the problems we see. Instead of fighting, I see discussion. I just hope it continues, because I fear this is just the beginning of things to come.

I agree with your sentiments and thanks for coming forward. I too have held back. The horrors of a society attacking it's most vulnerable is beyond common reasoning. The acts of pedophilia or mass murder have me aghast and, not to be obscene, I think what is wrong with a people that buggers it's children or kills innocents?

31. Thanks. I know that trend. It does appear to contradict what I'm saying.
But lots of things are hard to comprehend due to apparent contradiction. Maybe homicide rate isn't an indicator of satisfied and nurturing life. So things are comfortable and convenient. And perhaps also the decline is due to other sociological issues, such as civil rights, the judicial system inclusion of minorities. I don't know. My eyes only tell me that when I was a child I had fields to play in. Now there is only concrete for the majority of kids. I know that I am repulsed when I even try to go near the place where I grew up. I cannot imagine living there now. Noise pollution alone drove me out.
I have to say that some of what I share is from my own experience. My own discontent with the human condition. And even that seems contradictory. Our condition is far better than it was even 100 years ago. Or so it seems.
I want to thank you for having even this limited conversation without insertion of emotions. I feel it's extremely important, and yet so packed with emotional triggers for most people.

27. I agree with you. Population density breeds discontent.
Over time, it magnifies and looks for outlets. The more people we have competing for resources (jobs), the more frustrated the society becomes.
On an emotional level, there is competition to stand out from everyone else and that gets more difficult, as well.
For some, that discontent and frustration simply builds until it breaks down the wall separating rational and irrational behavior.

20. I agree and also wonder about Conservatism as a political movement and how the American version
compares to conservatism in other cultures.
I have mentioned in other posts that there's also statistics that show real clearly that violence is less in states and other countries with strict gun laws. Fewer guns=less violence.
So I think that fact is relevant and can pretty easily addressed. At least our legal system is set up to make and deal with Laws.
But cultural differences are more I interesting to me. What is different about our culture?
We seem pretty Authoritarian; more so than other cultures, to me. That's just a perception I have--I can't say there's any accuracy to it.
We also have an arrogance problem, that's pretty clear.

Absolutely. It is authoritarian, and much more since churches got involved with the Republican Party. Seems like the moment church and state becoming intertwined, countries become heartless.
Certain ideas about work and money, such as the work ethic (which I've noticed doesn't necessarily get imposed upon the rich as persistently as it gets imposed upon the poor), the concept that time is money, and the negative view of the poor and how their condition is their own fault, all lead to cruelty, and that's what is dominant in this country today.

15. I HATE that MM uses Canada as an example.
Compared to the US, our gun laws are extremely strict. Yes we have a lot of guns - and those who own them are licensed (and have to keep that license up to date) and all the guns are registered. We have limits on magazines as well 5 for rifles and 10 for handguns. If you want to get licensed, you need to take a firearm safety course. We also don't have ANY 'castle doctrine' crap.
I don't disagree that poverty and racism, continuous war and manufactured fear aren't part of the problem, but the #1 problem is STILL THE GUNS.

16. It's also
a pretty faulty premise to start out with because
1. Canada's per-capita gun ownership isn't anywhere near the ballpark of America
2. The breakdown of types of guns is vastly different. Canada's guns are much more dominantly solely hunting weapons - far fewer buy and own guns for "self-defense" or even "survivalist" bullshit.

19. Yep. US is nearly triple Canada per capita.
And I knew a lot of people who hunted up north. Lots of moose, elk and deer to be had. Almost everyone had a hunting rifle. The only person I've ever met that owns a handgun is my SIL, who is a cop. So I'll agree with your assessment that the breakdown of 'types' of guns is very different, but also, I think that's by design since it's harder to get the other types of guns.
Also, I forgot to put in my other post, no concealed carry allowed. Proper storage laws. Need permits to transport certain types of guns.
It's the gun laws, imo, that make the difference. I love Michael Moore but vehemently disagree with him on this one.

To the editor:
If I wasn't an Arcata resident, with roots here for more than 30 years, I'd want to live in Willits. It's very friendly and beautiful.
On my way to visit my mother in the Bay Area, I always look forward to a restful, pleasant stopover in Willits -- food, gas, atmosphere.
A couple of years ago, I was headed south on the Labor Day weekend. Willits was the only town on my downward journey to fly the U.S. flag, dozens in succession on both sides of the street, on good old Highway 101 that runs through the middle of town. A beautiful sight!
Coming back from the Bay Area, as traffic slowly thinned somewhere past Santa Rosa, I passed vast vineyards, fruit orchards, horses and other farm animals, increased grades, the scenery slowly changing.
Then, after about 200 miles, there was that single stoplight that signaled civilization, people, food and water. Jam and jelly jars were set up at a small booth outside a store to raise money for schoolchildren's activities. I used my Renner Card to get gas -- I was almost out of the stuff.
The flags weren't there anymore, but they were there on the next patriotic holiday. They always are. That's how they are in Willits.
If there is a bypass, I hope it won't change my wonderful experience. I hope it won't change Willits. I've got to see Willits again.

Fla GOP launches "Prevent Pelosi Project" fundraising campaign
The Florida GOP is kicking off a fundrasing campaign to protect incumbent Republican U.S. House members and Republican challengers, with the first fundraising pitches hitting mailboxes this week. The message is clear from the name of the campaign: the "Prevent Pelosi Project."
"Using Nancy Pelosi as the focal point for what's wrong in Washington D.C. helped Mark Sanford overcome a lot of setbacks to win his race in South Carolina," said Florida Republican party chairman Lenny Curry. "Down here in Florida, the chance to prevent Nancy Pelosi from returning to power will be just as successful in most of our 29 congressional districts."
Curry has tapped Jacksonville businessman and former Ambassador John Rood, chairman of Mitt Romney's Florida Finance Team in 2012, as the finance chairman of the Prevent Pelosi Project.
"Earlier this year, President Obama said that 'It would be a whole lot easier to govern if I had Nancy Pelosi as Speaker,'" said Rood. "Floridians need to know what the consequences of that partnership have been and would be. I thank Chairman Curry for his leadership and look forward to hitting the ground running with this project."
The first outlines why "Barack Obama's singular goal is to do whatever it takes to snatch the Speaker's gavel and place it in Nancy Pelosi's iron grip." The fundraising piece can be seen here: http://preventpelosi.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/FLGOP_PPP.pdf

I love a sweet crispy corn on the cob. But you know what I love even more? A sweet, spicy corn off the cob. This is The Organic Kitchen's 'Lime Chipotle Corn Off the Cob'…
We start with organically grown non-GMO corn (getting harder and harder to find by the way). I got lucky and found some at Whole Foods Market.
Then we use a sharp knife to shave the kernels right off the cob into a bowl. If you do it on a cutting board the kernels fly everywhere. (I love my Wusthof 8″ Chef's knife!)
Sauté corn in a pan with butter, add lime juice, sea salt (I use Maldons) and some chipotle chili powder and you have yourself a sweet, spicy side dish everyone will love!
The Recipe: Lime Chipotle Corn Off the Cob
Lime Chipotle Corn Off the Cob
Yield 6
- Serves 4-6
- 5 ears yellow or white corn, kernels cut off cob
- 3 T butter (vegans use coconut oil)
- juice of half a lime
- 1-1 1/2 tsp chipotle chili powder (adding 1/2 tsp at a time, tasting between additions)
- sea salt
- freshly ground pepper
- Place butter in medium sized pan on medium heat. When butter is melted add corn and sauté for 3-4 minutes stirring frequently. Add a couple pinches of sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Cook a couple more minutes and taste. If corn is done but still crispy remove from heat. Squeeze the juice of half a lime over corn and stir. Add 1/2 tsp chipotle chili pepper at a time, tasting between additions. When it's hot enough for you toss again and serve!
You know what would be great served with this corn? These fish tacos! And don't forget that tomorrow is National Grilled Cheese day. No I did not make that up. For my grilled cheese recipes click here.

what will happen if im told i may require a breast lift but opt to just have augmentation. i am getting breast augmentation done due to loss of weight and breastfeeding but have now been informed that i am a candidate for a lift, but am highly agains having one done as i am only 24 now with not alot of sagging and do plan on having more children in my late 20s, but what will happen and what sort of look can i expect if i just have the augmentation rather than the lift??? any help would be great.
Breast Augmentation Vs. Breast Lift - What Can I Expect?
Doctor Answers 9
Breast augmentation vs. Breast Lift
Photos would have been appropriate so we could determine the amount of ptosis you have. But if you do only a augmentation the "double bubble" effect could happen. Be careful out there.
Implants won't lift the breasts
Many patients get confused about this process but it is really quite simple. Implants make you bigger and lifts elevate the nipple and reshape the breast. They can be done separately or together. If you need a lift and only have the implants, you will likely not think the result looks very pretty. However, if you really want to hold on the lift you can do the implants and wait and see and do the lift later if you realize and accept that you need it for the best look.
Implants instead of a recommended breast lift will not look right
Each procedure addresses a specific problem: implants restore or add volume, a lift corrects sagging. Since these problems often occur together, it is common to do both a lift and implants. There are some cases where adding volume with implants fills up the loose skin enough to avoid the need for a lift, but this is not typical for a case with weight loss and prior breast feeding. When the implants are used instead of a lift, the result can be what is called a "rock in a sock" which I am quite sure you don't want. So just like you can't fix a gallbladder problem by taking out the appendix, you can't correct sagging with implants.

Breast lifts and augmentation
In general, if you need a lift, it is probably wise to have it, otherwise you will likely end up with large, sagging breasts. You can certainly opt to have the augmentation first, then see how it looks and have the lift as a second procedure, but the likelihood is you will need it. If you are planning on have more children soon, then I think waiting until after you have started your family to have the breast surgery is the way to go.

Consequences of having a Breast Augmentation instead of a Lift or an Breast Augmentatiion-Lift
No one likes to have scars and many women mistakenly have Breast Augmentation in the hope that increasing the size of the breast would spare them from having a Breast Lift and scars on their breasts.
Unfortunately, this analogous to those who run around their backhand in Tennis always trying to hit forehands. It rarely works and most of the time it catches up with you.
If you are going to have children in the next few years it may be best to postpone ALL breast surgery until you completed your family. Pregnancy and breast feeding will change your breasts and rarely for the better.
If having children is farther in the future, you need to decide if you are happy with the volume of your breasts-the way they fill a Bra. If you are happy with their size then all you need is a lift to make them perkier.
If you wish your breasts were larger you need a Breast Augmentation. If the breasts are saggy and you want them higher and perkier you need a Breast Lift.
Placing breast implants in sagging breasts will result is larger, sagging breasts. An implant will never lift a breast for a long time and the larger the implant the quicker the sagging associated with it.
Something to think about.
Breast Augmentation or Breast Lift?
What you will look like after breast augmentation will largely depend on what you look like before the surgery. For example, if you have a great degree of "sagging" now you will likely be very disappointed with the results of surgery. Hopefully, plastic surgeons will not offer you the breast augmentation alone if you have breast ptosis present.
I would suggest that you undergo the procedure that will best treat the current "diagnosis"; if not you will be dissatisfied and will likely require further surgery.
Generally, if you're able to wait until after completing pregnancies you'll be better off.
Best wishes.

SEE VIDEO BELOW: Breast implant augmentation without a lift
IF you hav an implant only, it is likely that you will create a breast that has a nipple that sits below the "equator" of the implant.

Breast augmentation +/- lift
If you are unsure if you want a lift which will add more incisions on your breast you can always stage it if you are unsure and have them augmentation first and see how they look, But, if you need a lift then you will nee it after the augmentation.
Learn more: http://www.stevenwallachmd.com
Choosing Breast Augmentation when you really needed a Breast Lift
If you really have deflated droopy breasts (which is quite possible after breast feeding and weight loss), you actually have more skin than you might think. If you decide to go with just using implants, you are committing to fairly sizable implants to have your breasts look normal. (If you chose implants that are proportionate to your frame but do not fill-out the skin envelope, you might either result in the "rock in a sock" look, or a "snoopy" appearance where the breast hangs off the implant.) This certainly will not fix nipple positional issues (these tend to look worse when the breasts are larger), and when you finally decided to proceed with a lift, you will be at much higher risk for complications (including nipple death). For certain patients who have chosen this route, the old implants will need to be removed at the time of the lift, and only later can new (smaller) implants be replaced after everything has healed. These types of revisionary surgeries consume a lot of your time and are expensive. Yes--a lift does result in more visible scarring than an augmentation, but I'd advise doing nothing rather than heading down a path that leads to complications. I have a video that reviews some aspects of choosing a breast augmentation vs a breast lift - I think you will find it helpful. Follow the link.

David Miliband on wages, unions and his father
Former Foreign Secretary David Miliband has spoken on The Andrew Marr Show regarding proposals for a 'living wage', Labour's relationship with the unions and the Daily Mail's coverage of his father.
On wages, Mr Miliband said proposals announced by his brother, Labour leader Ed Miliband, were part of a progressive politics being "picked up" across the EU, the US and the UK.
He added his brother was also "right" to say he would reform the Labour party's relationship with the unions, in the light of the vote-rigging claims in Falkirk and the dispute in Grangemouth.
Mr Miliband also described The Daily Mail's brandishing of his father as 'the man who hated Britain' as "hateful".

An album that certainly lives up to the promise of its title – as it's filled with amazing instrumentation, groundbreaking compositions, and a sound in jazz that few ears could imagine at the time! The groove here is extremely modal – all instruments rolling along on the same rhythmic pulse, with drums, bass, trumpet, and alto sax incredibly intertwined! Ornette's really got an edge on his instrument – cutting even more deeply here than the clipped, punctuated cornet work of Don Cherry – and the rhythm team of Charlie Haden and Billy Higgins are simply amazing – not just keeping up with the energy of Ornette, but also really helping facilitate it as well! Titles include the haunting "Lonely Woman", plus "Peace", "Chronology", and "Focus on Sanity". © 1996-2017, Dusty Groove, Inc.
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
We have only one grade for non-new CDs at Dusty Groove — "Used CD". This grade is somewhat all-encompassing, but we choose it because we try to offer Used CDs in the best shape possible. All of our Used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. If you purchase a Used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly — and if it does not, then you may return it for a full refund.
With our Used CDs, you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks — clean, and not dirty at all. You can also expect the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves — putting fresh cases on Used CDs we handle) — and you can expect the booklet to be in good shape, unless noted otherwise. We will list any specific details/defects underneath the item — so look for notes on cutout marks in the case, stamps on the barcode, or details like that.

After years of slowing destroying my magazines by cleaning them during the break down. I found this tool that works and it works very well. I went and got the combo with the brush. The brush has a pin that is made of steel that works great to break the frame down too. Then even better the whole kit is made in the USA to boot. I give the tool an A+. I have new magazines that were hard to break down this tool made that work a breeze. Here is the link.

With Amir Peretz's victory over Vice Premier Shimon Peres last week, the Labor Party has finally removed all its masks and officially embraced post-Zionism as its guiding ideology. By electing Peretz, the Labor Party of David Ben-Gurion has declined to the status of an anti-Zionist political party.
While Oslo and Labor's embrace of Yasser Arafat signaled Labor's inevitable embrace of the negation of Jewish nationalism, the party staved off its fate for the past six years by placing retired generals at the head of the party, such as Ehud Barak, Amram Mitzna, Benjamin Ben-Eliezer and Matan Vilna'i. They obfuscated their party's post-Zionist platform by prominently parading their past military achievements before the public.
But all that is now behind us. With Peretz's ascension to party leadership, Labor has become a post-nationalist, socialist party along the lines of Meretz under Yossi Beilin. Peretz began his political career in Peace Now, and achieved his first political prominence as a member of Yossi Beilin's crew of young, radical leftist Labor Party activists. Peretz has always contended that the only way to deal with terror is to capitulate to terrorists, and that there can only be peace if Israel expels all 250,000 of its citizens from Judea and Samaria, and divides sovereignty over Jerusalem.
After his victory, Peretz proclaimed that if he was elected prime minister, he would form a governing coalition with the anti-Zionist Arab political parties, effectively putting an end to Israel as a Zionist state.
It's a sign of the chaos into which Ariel Sharon has plunged the Likud that all of this seems to have escaped the attention of its members. Rather than pointing out the significance of Labor's descent into ideological bankruptcy, the Likud is squeamishly concerned about the electoral threat Peretz poses as a result of his economic demagoguery.
Likud leaders warn that Peretz's socialist populism will erode support among its voters from the lower socioeconomic strata. This is particularly the case, they claim, among Sephardic Jews, who have formed the bulwark of the party's faithful since the Likud's first national electoral victory under Menachem Begin in 1977.
As the Histadrut boss, Peretz has been the strongest opponent of Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's economic liberalization reforms. Peretz has consistently opposed the privatization of government companies, the break-up of economic monopolies and cartels, the lowering of taxes, curbing the growth of the welfare system and the weakening of labor unions.
In opposing every single economic reform that has been enacted over the past decade, Peretz has led general strike after general strike, each of which has lost the economy billions of shekels, and led to countless lost jobs and economic opportunities for the very people he claims to protect.
The economic reforms that Peretz has so thuggishly opposed are the only reason that Israel was able, at the height of the Palestinian terror war, to move out of its recession and into a period of sustained economic growth, low unemployment and low interest rates. Yet Likud fears him because of the resonance of his calls for a reversion to the disastrous statist economy Netanyahu so bravely shepherded the country away from.
It is little wonder that the most emotional economic debates tend to revolve around envy. Headlines are annually made when the list of the richest Israelis and the top government salaries are made public. As a result, the deleterious effects of a state-run economy have never been properly understood. A populist, socialist bully like Peretz – who screams in defense of the rights of bloated workers' committees, and corrupt and incompetent public employees – can gain traction for his ludicrous one-liners only in such an intellectual desert.
In the absence of unity in the one area where it was previously strongest – namely, security – the Likud under Sharon now finds itself flailing about, madly looking for a way to show, not that Peretz is an anti-Zionist, but that, like him, the Likud, too, supports irresponsible populist economic policies.

Lil Wayne track offends
Epic Records is going to "great efforts" to take down a new Future remix leaked over the weekend with a vulgar Lil Wayne lyric that has offended the family of Emmett Till.
The New Orleans rapper made a sexual reference to the beating death of Till, a 14-year-old Chicago boy tortured and shot in Mississippi in 1955 for whistling at a white woman.
Till's family objected and the Reverend Jesse Jackson reached out to his management, The Blueprint Group, on the family's behalf.
The label issued a statement apologising for the release of the song.
"We regret the unauthorised remix version of Future's Karate Chop, which was leaked online and contained hurtful lyrics," the statement said. "Out of respect for the legacy of Emmett Till and his family and the support of the Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr. ... we are going through great efforts to take down the unauthorised version."
Epic will release an official version of the song that "will not include such references."
Till, a native of Chicago, was in Mississippi visiting family in 1955 when he was killed. He was beaten, had his eyes gouged out and was shot in the head before his assailants tied a cotton gin fan to his body with barbed wire and tossed his body into the Tallahatchie River. Two white men, including the woman's husband, were acquitted of the killing by an all-white jury.
Till's body was recovered and returned to Chicago where his mother, Mamie Till, insisted on having an open casket at his funeral. The pictures of his battered body helped push civil rights into the cultural conversation in the US.
"He was murdered for whistling at a white woman in 1955, so to compare his murder and how brutally beaten and tortured he was to the anatomy of a woman was really very disrespectful," said Airickca Gordon-Taylor, Till's cousin, and the founding director of the Mamie Till Mobley Memorial Foundation.
"We found it dishonorable to his name and what his death has meant to us as a people and as a culture. It was offensive, but not only to us, but to our ancestors and to women and to themselves as young, black men," Gordon-Taylor said.
"I just couldn't understand how you could compare the gateway of life to the brutality and punishment of death. And I feel as though they have no pride and no dignity as black men."
"Our family was very, very offended, very hurt," Gordon-Taylor said. "We're concerned about our young people as well as the image of Emmett Till."
A publicist says Lil Wayne has had no comment so far.
He appears briefly on the song, alluding to the black teenager's beating in a way too vulgar to print.
Bob Dylan wrote a song about it: The Death of Emmett Till.
A Facebook posting on the Mamie Till Mobley Memorial Foundation page Wednesday night said Epic Records Chairman and CEO LA Reid had reached out to the family to personally apologise.
