WASHINGTON, DC - May 13 - President Bush has submitted a new war funding request totaling $178 billion. $135.4 billion of this war supplemental would go toward operations in Iraq through the end of the year. The remainder of the $42.6 billion would go to operations in Afghanistan and other activities in the global war against terrorist networks.
So what does this mean for American taxpayers? Last year, CAP took a look at how much taxpayers in each state were paying for the war. Based on updated information released, a new interactive map below shows a breakdown by state of what taxpayers could now be facing should the full amount of funding be approved.
American taxpayers have enough to worry about already. The United States needs to shift its priorities in Iraq and the Middle East, beginning with a strategic reset of policy including a phased redeployment from Iraq alongside increased diplomatic efforts in the region.

California Doctor Arrested For Drug Trafficking
Alleged Santa Barbara "Dr. Feelgood" busted for widespread narcotics peddling.
Santa Barbara doctor Julio Gabriel Diaz was arrested yesterday morning on drug trafficking charges for supplying several of his patients with unlimited access to prescription drugs, leading to to several deaths. In an affidavit presented by the prosecution, many of Dr. Diaz's prescriptions are connected to a series of fatal overdoses in California: one man was apparently prescribed 2,087 pills by the doctor within a six-week period prior to his death. Prosecutors will seek to prove that several of Diaz's patients were illicitly selling their prescriptions on the black market. OxyContin, Norco and Vicodin—all commonly abused drugs—were some of the main substances prescribed by the doctor. Diaz is scheduled to appear in Santa Ana federal court this afternoon.

Free Will Astrology
Published: July 23, 2014
ARIES (March 21-April 19) A report in the prestigious British medical journal BMJ says that almost one percent of young pregnant women in the U.S. claim to be virgins. They testify that they have conceived a fetus without the benefit of sex. That's impossible, right? Technically, yes. But if there could ever be a loophole in natural law, it would happen for you sometime in the coming weeks. You will be so exceptionally fertile, so prone to hatching new life, that almost anything could incite germination. A vivid dream or captivating idea or thrilling adventure or exotic encounter might be enough to do the trick.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) As you weave your way through the next chapter of your story, I suggest you take inspiration from the turtle. You may even want to imagine that the turtle is your animal ally, a guide that helps you access the gradual and deliberate kind of intelligence you will need. Moving quickly will not be appropriate for the leisurely lessons that are coming your way. The point is to be deep and thorough about a few things rather than half-knowledgeable about a lot of things. There's one other turtle-like quality I hope you will cultivate, too: the ability to feel at home wherever you are.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) America's biggest winery is E & J Gallo. It sells more wine than any other company, and has been named the planet's "Most Powerful Wine Brand" four different years. Ernest and Julio Gallo launched the enterprise in 1933 after studying the art of winemaking in pamphlets they found in the basement of a public library in Modesto, California. I foresee a less spectacular but metaphorically similar arc for you. Sometime soon – maybe it has already happened – information or inspiration you come across in a modest setting will launch you on the path to future success. There is one caveat: You must take seriously the spark you encounter, and not underestimate it because it appears in humble circumstances.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Diamonds are not rare. They are so numerous that if they were evenly distributed, you and me and everyone else on the planet could each have a cupful of them. And if you are ever in your lifetime going to get your personal cupful, it may happen in the next 11 months. That's because your hard work and special talent are more likely than usual to be rewarded with tangible assets. Strokes of luck will tend to manifest in the form of money and treasure and valuable things you can really use. Be alert for the clues. One may appear momentarily.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) According to the legends about Camelot and the Knights of the Round Table, the boy who would ultimately become King Arthur didn't know he was heir to the throne while he was growing up. His future destiny was hidden from him. The wizard Merlin trained him but made sure he never found out he was special. When the old King Uther Pendragon died, a tournament was staged to find a replacement. The winner would be whoever was able to withdraw the enchanted sword that was embedded in a large stone. Quite by accident, our hero got a chance to make an attempt. Success! I have reminded you of the broad outlines of this tale because at least one of its elements resembles your destiny in the next 11 months.

Incentives Driving Economic Alternatives – North, East, West (IDEA-NEW) is a USAID project that began in March 2009, and is scheduled to be completed in March 2014. This project continues USAID's efforts to provide agricultural incentives and economic alternatives for provinces in the East as well as the northern and western poppy-prone regions of the country.
The Northern Rangelands Trust is an umbrella organization formed in 2004 by the Lewa Conservancy and USAID. It brings together local pastoralist communities with land owners and the Government of Kenya to promote the long-term conservation of wildlife in Kenya's northern rangelands.
The Kenya Feed the Future Innovation Engine identifies and supports innovative, problem-solving strategies to improve food security, nutrition, and livelihoods. Selected innovations are "incubated" in their early stages before being put through a process of rigorous assessment and refinement with the goal of bringing them to scale for widespread impact.
The Asset-Based Financing for Smallholder Farmers Project will help 110,000 smallholder farmers in 13 counties (listed below) of Kenya double their farm income per planted acre. More than 70% of Kenyans depend on agriculture for their livelihood. The majority of these farmers are women smallholders, yet for a variety of reasons, they are not as productive as they could be.
Tremendous progress has been made in malaria control in recent years. Widespread distribution of insecticide-treated bed nets, coupled with household spraying have helped large parts of the country become free from malaria. Nevertheless, malaria remains a leading cause of illness and death among children under 5. The burden of malaria also exacts a steep economic toll, with about 170 million working days lost due to malaria illness each year.

In a strong rebuke to the Obama-Care socialized medicine law enacted by Democrats in Congress last year, a federal appeals court has rightly struck down the most alarming provision of the law.
A panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta declared in a 2-1 ruling that Congress has no constitutional authority to force virtually all Americans to purchase government-approved medical insurance or be penalized.
The appeals court majority seemed almost stunned that lawmakers and President Barack Obama would have believed they had the power to impose such a requirement.
The court hearkened back to the painful days of the Great Depression and World War II, when, the judges noted, "Congress never sought to require the purchase of wheat or war bonds, force a higher savings rate or greater consumption of American goods."
The judges said that regulation of those who choose to purchase insurance may be permitted, but that Congress has no authority to regulate people who "have not entered the insurance market and have no intention of doing so."
Simply put, ObamaCare's requirement that Americans buy insurance "exceeds Congress's enumerated commerce powers," the ruling stated. It added, "What Congress cannot do under the Commerce Clause is mandate that individuals enter into contracts with private insurance companies for the purchase of an expensive product from the time they are born until the time they die."
Unfortunately, this ruling does not settle the matter. Though a majority of the states have joined lawsuits to have the law struck down, there have been other court rulings, both for and against it. It will undoubtedly wind up in the U.S. Supreme Court.
We do not know whether a majority of the Supreme Court justices may uphold or strike down ObamaCare, in whole or in part. But under our Constitution, the federal government does not have the power to order Americans to purchase health insurance, however sensible it may be to have it.
Therefore, we believe the Supreme Court would be correct to rule Obama-Care unconstitutional.
Lib, IF and we know it's a big IF, the federal government could be trusted on the "option" part of UNIVERSALOBAMAGOVERNEMENTHANDOUTVOTEBUYING HealthCare, it might be worth considering. But anyone with any part of a brain knows how private insurance will be regulated out of business and we have seen over and over and over again what happens when the government monopolizes parts of individual's lives which they should never touch. It is not pretty. It amazes me your approach when I consider the abortion issue where you and your crew say "hands off" to the government. So at least an appellate court sees the danger and damage which would be caused by this part of the ridiculous law. I just wonder what else "we have to find out" since it has been passed, using Pelosi's sad testimonial. But by golly, I guess WE WILL when it all kicks in and we realize what was allowed to happen because of out of control government.
The government "option" part if health care has been with us for decades. It's called Medicare. And it has worked extremely well. Medicare for all would be the most sensible way to go. Health insurance should not be treated as a commodity anyway and has no business even being in the private sector. Health care is not just a right; it is a necessity if we are to have a strong and prosperous nation.
L4L says: "we have seen over and over and over again what happens when the government monopolizes parts of individual's lives which they should never touch." This statement makes no sense at all. My mother has had Medicare for over 20 years and is in good health today because of it. She would have died years ago without it. Tell me how the government has "monopolized" her life in any way? Not once, ever, has she (nor anyone else I know on Medicare) had any kind of government intrusion between her and her doctors.
You anti-government delusionals crack me up. You whine about how big bad government takes away our individual freedom and has no business in health care but you turn a blind eye to the millions of people who have been screwed over by the private insurance companies. But that doesn't matter to you. As long as you've got yours, to hell with anybody else, right?
A wise ruling.
you don't have to be a Republican to believe that bad things will come if this isn't stopped. If it's allowed to stand, what's next, everyone will be forced to purchase a certain amount of vegetables every week or face a fine or more?
Oh, please, Acerigger, don't spoil my lunch! Paranoia, no, just a healthy understanding and knowledge of what governments are capable of. Goverments are composed of people, and people love to push other people around. The flood gates will open if that mandate stands. Back to work!
She's no dumb blonde. You're no ace, ace. You're pretty darn naive, though.
One i would ask why she has been on medicare for years? did she work her entire life and pay into the system ? if so..good! you talk about the millions who have been messed over by private companies. what about the "millions" that have been saved by private insurance? what about the ones who have been denied certain medical services under medicare. look at Canada for instance with mandated insurance. they cross the border to come to America for treatment due to the type care, and extrememly long wait periods. The libral out look is such a double standard for the most part that can easily be picked apart. The Constitution was written for the limited power and intrusion by the government and yes, when the govenment starts mandating then we do loose certain freedoms. there is no arguing that. i sometimes wonder about things? how can certain librals be "pro choice" but willing die to protect and endangered species? off subject but just part of the double standard. Lib for life i ask you this...since more and more people are not paying into the system, how are these mandates going to be funded? oh yeah...close the corp. loop holes for the wealthy and raise their taxes.oh the rewards for hard work and becoming successful.
How many commenting on the wisdom of the affordable health care act (AHCA) have actually read the bill instead of getting bits and pieces from some slanted article or some politicians opinion that hasn't read the bill? Who understands why millions are getting waivers, including the state of Nevada plus two other states and several unions, which allows them to shift more cost to those without waivers? Shock and awe as it is implimented wll be an understatement.
Universal health care may be appropriate but this bill is not the way to do it. Allowing everyone to participate in medicare with experienced based premiums adjusted annually to pay for it would work.

On January 3, 2011, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) released safety recommendations P-10-1 through P-10-7 while investigating the pipeline rupture that occured on September 9, 2010 in San Bruno, CA. After reviewing the recommendations with AGA membership, AGA sent a letter to NTSB on June 14, 2011 to request a clarification the intended scope and applicability of recommendations P-10-1 through P-10-4. In many cases, these safety recommendations appear to conflict with existing language. In other instances, these recommendations omit key provisions of the pipeline safety regulations. AGA is hopeful that this clarification will will allow operators nationwide to focus finite resources on appropriate areas that will provide real improvement in pipeline safety rather than diluting efforts in areas that were never intended by the NTSB.

New Courses on Book Proposals, Blogging, and Press Releases
If you'd like to brush up your skills or learn something new about writing a book proposal, business blogging, or crafting press releases, come take a course with me this summer. I'm teaching three non-credit courses on these topics, all offered through the corporate/community education division of North Shore Community College.
The Nitty Gritty of the Successful Book Proposal (CSA792)
If you're trying to interest a traditional book publisher in your non-fiction manuscript, you (or your literary agent) will most likely pitch it using a book proposal. Learn how to develop a book proposal that gets attention. Includes how to refine your book concept, assess the competition and the market for your book, and how to quickly develop chapter summaries and a sample chapter. If you are thinking of self-publishing a non-fiction book, you may also find the book proposal exercise has value, because it forces you to crystallize your book idea.
Meets three Mondays, 6:30 to 8:30 pm, June 7 through June 21
Be a Better Business Blogger (CSA793)
Customers, clients, and the media are looking for you online and increasingly, they expect to find not just your website but also a blog. This workshop is for you if you already have a business blog and want to learn how to use it more effectively, how to generate an endless supply of topics for blog posts, and how to keep the blogging process manageable. Please note, this is not a technical course on how to set up a blog; however, would-be bloggers are welcome.
Meets Saturday, June 12, 9 am to 12 noon; also offered on Thursday, August 19 from 6 to 9 pm
Press Release Clinic (CSA795)
Learn how to write an attention-getting media release. This hands-on workshop will show you how to craft a press release that gives editors and other media gatekeepers the information they want, so your business or organization can get the attention you need. Covered topics include: the anatomy of a press release; what to include and what to leave out; and how to get the release out to your target audience. Bring your draft press releases and learn how to improve them on the spot.
Meets two Wednesdays, May 26 and June 2, from 6:30 to 8:30 pm.
All courses will be offered at NSCC's Danvers Campus. Find more details online at www.northshore.edu/community/index.html under the Writing & Literature category. In the paper version of the Summer 2010 catalog, the courses are listed in the Business Career Courses section on page 11.
Please register online through North Shore Community College (www.northshore.edu). If you have questions about the courses, or would be interested in having this material available through a webinar, please drop me a line at firstname.lastname@example.com .

Every August, Manhasset Bay Yacht Club has its Annual Race Week. Some years the sailors are greeted with good weather, and when they get really lucky, they have great wind. One time, about 10 or so years ago, the wind was strong and actually dangerous; T-shirts were designed with the logo "I survived Manhasset Bay Race Week." Well, this year the racers weren't so lucky. Mother Nature was in one of her moods and decided not to bestow her gifts on this year's regatta, held at MBYC Aug. 10, 11, and 12. Friday was a cold, damp and really windy day. Crew were seen trying to warm up in the clubhouse with toes bright red from the cold and damp weather. Just the opposite kind of weather greeted the teams on Saturday, when the wind was so light that some boats had to be towed back to shore - never a pretty sight. On Sunday, the wind was a little better and the Race Committee got in a few races. Considering the conditions, it is remarkable that the Sonar fleet got in eight races overall. So all was not lost because of the wind. Reed Whittemore was the event chair this year, with John Barry serving as the race officer. Especially beautiful trophies (thanks to Don Canfield) were awarded after the racing was completed on Sunday afternoon. Top boats in each division: Sonars (12 boats, 8 races): 1. #753, Rick and Tracy Dominique, 2. #375, Greg and Beth Danilek, 3. #682, Ralf Steitz, and 4. #421, Einar Haukeland/Bill Simon. The MBOs had eight boats on the starting line. These folks have just come off a big win at the Royal Burnham YC in England and were raring to race. (More about their great adventure across the pond in an upcoming column). Top on the leader board for the MBOs (8 boats, 3 races): 1. #26, Lew Lane, 2. #9, Cleas Larsson, and 3. #11, Clay Davenport. The KOD's top racers (4 boats, 4 races): 1. #14, Tom Powers, 2. #15, Roy Israel, 3. #12, Michael Aingorn. The Ideal 18s registered 6 boats according to the scratch sheet, but only three actually sailed because of the wind. Awards were given to the top two skippers: 1. #171, Vince Syracuse, and 2. #176, William Brakman. In the PHRF division only two boats registered and completed two races. Winner of the PHRF division was Dr. Mark Epstein on Vision.
On Aug. 4, City Island Yacht Club hosted a Women's Skipper Race. 23 women took the helm and raced in five divisions. Yacht clubs that participated included: Crestwood YC, Douglaston YC, Hempstead Harbor Club, Larchmont YC, Manhasset Bay YC, Morris YBC, NYAC, Stuyvesant YC, and, of course, the host club, City Island YC. Jane Viola, racing in Second Wind, a C&C 32 came in first in non-spinnaker division 5. In an email, Jane said, "It was an exciting race and I am very proud of our results." Look to see Jane and her husband, Anthony, out on Manhasset Bay on Thursday evenings. They sail in Division III with the Thirsty Thursday group. Congratulations to Jane. Maybe she will start a trend with more women skippers racing some of the other PHRF boats in our bay. We already have one or two out on Thursday evenings.
Speaking of Thirsty Thursdays......18 boats raced in four divisions on Aug. 9. Top boats: Division I: (4 boats, 6.79 nm, course BJ): 1. Avalanche, Al Albrecht, 2. Freedom, Mario Fichera, and 3. Grace, Gene Gold. Division II: (5 boats, 5.92 nm, course BC): 1. Xcite, Yalcin Tarhan, 2. Happy Daze II, Tom Egan, and 3. Vision, Marc Epstein. Division III (8 boats, 5.51 nm, course UC): 1. En Passant, Bob Ebenau, 2. Tootsie, Ron Fink, and 3. Second Wind, Anthony Viola. Division CATS had one entry: Renegade, Andy Ledins.
Many in our local sailing community are familiar with the International Yacht Racing School (IYRS) up in Newport. The IYRS connection to our bay is through the Manhasset Bay One Design fleet, which has had several MBOs restored at the school. So it is interesting to note that their 10th Summer Gala raised a record-breaking $650,000 which will be earmarked for the school's educational programs. It was quite an affair. For those who have been to IYRS, it is an industrial space with all the trappings of utility. On the evening of July 14, though, the school was transformed into an elegant environment with crystal chandeliers and floor-to-ceiling panels of fabric. Over 500 attended the gala event, which included a sit-down dinner, dancing and live and silent auctions. "There was definitely magic in the air," said Joseph Dockery (Newport, R.I./Greenwich, Conn.), an IYRS trustee who shared the event co-chairmanship with Carol O'Malley (San Antonio, TX). "Gary Jobson was a master at getting dinner guests involved in the auction: people dug deep into their pockets to find the funds that will help IYRS continue its good work." The funds raised at the Gala represent a record for this annual event and a 33% increase over the amount raised at last year's Gala. The success of the event comes at an important time: the marine industry has a continuing need for skilled workers, and IYRS has expanded its educational offerings with a new, one-year program in Marine Systems. Developed with the American Boat & Yacht Council, the systems program launches this fall and joins the two-year program in traditional boat building and restoration and an extensive menu of continuing education courses.
New this year was the expansion of the gala to cover an entire weekend and including a regatta onboard a fleet of spirit-of-tradition yachts that included match-racing between W-76s White Wings and Wild Horses, evening parties at estates and waterfront homes of IYRS supporters, and a farewell brunch and cruise on Sunday onboard a fleet of private yachts. People came from as far afield as Europe, Hong Kong, and the U.S. West Coast and Gulf coast to support the event. "Expanding the gala into an entire weekend of activity allowed people to come here for a real Newport experience," said O'Malley. "And it gave those people time to gain an appreciation for the work IYRS does, to understand the important purpose this school fulfills."
World-class sailor and journalist Gary Jobson served as the master of ceremonies for a live auction, which included such items as an IYRS-restored Manhasset Bay One Design sailboat and once-in-a-lifetime travel opportunities, such as an invitation to join Ted Turner, Jobson, and the Courageous crew at a dinner at the America's Cup Hall of Fame (Bristol, R.I.) to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the crew's Cup win. When asked for donations for critical safety equipment for the school, many hands were enthusiastically raised to make this the largest ticket item of the evening ($58,000). At the conclusion of the weekend, a thrilled Carol O'Malley commented, "I have never seen so much synergy at a fund-raising event, with such strong support for the work of a single nonprofit from so many different people."

Week in ReligionThe U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hear the appeal of a group that tried to block the construction of a mosque in Murfreesboro, Tenn. Opponents have been arguing since 2010 that approval for construction of the mosque, which opened in 2012, was illegal because there wasn�t enough public notice for the planning commission meeting where construction was approved. The mosque was built anyway as the case moved through the courts.

The RC Mod
Additional Videos:
The RC Mod for Minecraft allows players to control mini-RC cars, airplanes, boats, submarines and helicopters. The RC vehicles have various controls and can perform different maneuvers including other abilities. Playing with the RC Mod enabled only allows players to take control of various RC vehicles; the player may not interact with other characters, gather resources or cast spells as normal. However, the RC Mod for Minecraft makes for a fun mod that may bring back fond memories to those who played with RC vehicles as a child.
Information about the RC Mod
The various vehicles available are a 4-channel RC Car and RC Boat and an 8-channel RC Helicopter, RC Airplane and RC Submarine. Different maneuvers can be performed depending on the type of vehicle being operated. For example, when one is operating the RC Submarine, they may dive and surface the vehicle alongside standard directional maneuvers. A bonus ability that the submarine also has is the option to fire missiles underwater. The RC Car, RC Airplane, RC Boat and RC Helicopter have mostly standard directional maneuvers including moving left to right and up and down.
However, the RC Car may also perform a jump and the RC Helicopter and RC Airplane may perform barrel rolls whilst airborne. The player should understand that if their RC vehicle exceeds 200 meters, it will disappear so it should be kept within range. Lastly, if the player desires, they may change the camera view to Chase Cam mode for an angle that follows behind the RC vehicle.
Features of the RC Mod
- Ability to fly RC Helicopter complete with lift & barrel rolls.
- RC Airplane complete with the ability to pitch, barrel roll and become grounded.
- RC Boat with standard controls.
- Ability to drive RC Car & perform jumps.
- RC Submarine complete with standard maneuvers & the ability to fire missiles.
How to download & install:
- Go to the The RC Mod download page
- Download the file
- Follow The RC Mod installation instructions
- Happy Crafting!

How to link to another article in Joomla 3.1
When writing content on the web, it's natural to link to other content that you've written. If you have two similar articles, linking them to each other helps your readers find potentially more content on your site that they would like to read. This article doesn't need too much of an introduction, it's a basic concept, so let's get right into the training!
How to create a link to another article in Joomla 3.0
- Log into your Joomla 3.0 Dashboard
- Open the Article that you want to place the link into
In the top menu, click Content and then click Article Manager
In the list of articles on the page, click the article you want to edit.
- Within the article editor, click to place the cursor where you want the link to be added
- Under the editor, click the Article button (refer to the screenshot to the right)
- Another window will open. Find the article you want to link to, and click on it.
- Joomla will insert a link to the article, and the anchor text (the actual text of the link) will be the article's title. Most likely you'll want to change this, and you can do this by simply changing the text within the editor.
When finished, click the Save button at the top left of the page.

I've used the process described in this article. Now some of the URLs obtained this way (accessible via the link created by Joomla), include Itemids while some of them don't. The problem is when you click on the links with Itemid (in the front end), Joomla will display the modules assigned only to the home page, instead of the contents of the linked page.

Hello Flintstone,
Thanks for the feedback and sorry to hear you've had problems with the linking. With Joomla 3.x, I have found that you can use "a href" tag to link to the article as long as you know the URL of the published Joomla article. You can also create anchor tags in code (or with the editor if you're using an editor in Joomla) to reference a specific area within your article.
I hope that helps to clarify and resolve your issue! Please let us know if you have any further questions or comments.

Hi....I just recreated my local site in Joomla 3.3.1 and am having the same trouble as flintstone. I can get the article link to display the correct info but the module assigned to the home page is also appearing on this page. This did not happen in J2.5. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks for your help!

Hi Sue,
This article is about how to link to another article when writing an article. Based on your comment, it sounds like you're doing something a bit different.
Can you give us a few more details about exactly what's happening?
For example, are you linking to an article from a module, but having a problem doing that? Is a module showing up on a page that it isn't?
If you can provide more detail, I'd be happy to assist further!
2014-06-30 1:05 pm
Thanks, Brad, for responding so quick! To answer your question, I was linking from an article to another article...not a module. And I just found a resolution when searching for answers to another problem!
In Joomla 3.3.1, I followed the above instructions to create the link. When I toggled to look at the code generated, the Home Page menu ID was inserted into the "a href" tag. Since my home page had a module in it, it kept bringing up that module when displaying the linked article. To fix, I just changed the menu ID in the tag to the menu ID that the original article was using. Now the link displays just the article.
This did not happen in Joomla 2.5. Same setup, same link....the menu ID did not appear at all in the "a href" tag.
Hope this helps someone else if they encounter the problem.

What makes us happy
Posted on | August 23, 2009 | 5 Comments
I try very hard not to buy books on impulse when we go into a bookstore; instead I endeavour to use our bookshop more like a library with lots of recent stock – I can browse through all the new publications and then go back to our real library and put in reservation requests. Then once we've lived with a library copy for a while and it's clear the book is a hit rather than a one-time-wonder then I'll put my money where my mouth is and return to the bookshop.
Now theory is all very well. Of course, in practice it doesn't always work like that! And Friday was a case in point. Somehow we left the shop with a Maisy book – Ha-Ha, Maisy by Lucy Cousins. It's a lift-the-flap style book and on each page we're asked what makes Maisy or another of her friends laugh. You lift the flap and find out that all sorts of things kids love to do are also loved by Maisy and her pals; bouncing on the bed makes Maisy laugh, playing with water makes Ostrich laugh, pulling funny faces makes Tallulah (the duck) laugh.
Try as I might not to like Maisy books (What! a fiver or more for a bunch of pictures that look like something my daughters draw all the time?) I have to admit that Lucy Cousins books are a huge hit in our house. The colours are vibrant, zingy and make you feel cheerful and the style of the drawings – as if painted with a thick paintbrush using bold poster paints – clearly hits the mark with the kids, probably precisely because they recognise something like what they themselves create. The animal characters often get up to slightly zany antics (such as dancing on roller skates) and the pictures can have a surreal edge e.g. a teapot with legs or Maisy with a goldfish tail. Add flaps to this combination of delights and in our house you're on to a winner.
So home the book came with us and it's been on the table with every meal since then (yes, we do a lot of our reading together at meal times). Now, I've been meaning to try and make our own lift-the-flap style book with the girls for ages and this seemed like an opportunity not to miss.
1. I first folded some A3 card in half and with the fold on the right hand side. I then cut out a couple of flaps on the top half of the folded over card. Each sheet of A3 card made 1 page of a book, and I made 4 pages (8 flaps in total).
2. I scored a line down each open side of the card about 1.5 cm in from the edge, to help with page turning when our book was complete.
3. Using Ha-Ha, Maisy as a model I asked M what made her happy, and she draw pictures of these things, which I stuck inside the folded card, aligned so that when the flap was open you could see the picture.
4. Inspired by this post over at The Artful Parent, I helped M use some letter stamps to write what made her happy on the inside of each flap.
5. We made a page for each of us in the family (though sometimes M decided for herself what makes us happy – apparently "Pinkland" makes Dad happy…)
6. We used some glue to stick the folded card down, taking care not to put any glue where the flaps were (we used a paintbrush and some regular craft glue rather than a spray glue as this way it was easier to control where the glue went). Now the pictures were stuck under the flaps and each page was fairly stiff.
6. We printed off photos of us all looking happy and stuck them on the front of the flaps and then added the question "What makes Dad etc happy?" to each page.
7. We made a cover to bind the pages together by folding over another sheet of A3 card, but this time with the open sides on the right.
8. We bound the book using our sewing machine – M loves to press the pedal and go fast! The pages were put inside the cover and then all were sewn together. We made the stitches as long as possible, and set the tension to low, and then did four lines down to try and ensure that the pages can put up with some rough love!
To finish the book off M went sticker-crazy and finally ta-da! Our lift-the-flap book was complete
The girls (and us grown ups too!) love the book – especially the smiley photos of us all. I can see that it will be looking loved pretty soon!
Other instructions for making lift-the-flap books can be found…
Ha, Ha Maisy:
Whilst we've been making our book we've been listening to The Laughing Policeman by Charles Penrose and now we'd like to try making a pop up book, or perhaps to begin with a pop-up card like this one or this one.

haha I always thought Maisy was so strange. Have you seen Maisy Takes a Bath and then Tallulah comes over and gets in the bath with her? LOL! The kids I used to nanny for adored Maisy and she kinda grew on me. I like Maisy Makes Lemonade… we made a lemon tree from that book by cutting a big tree from construction paper and taping it to the wall. We cut and laminated little paper lemons and then velcroed them in different spots to the tree. We hung it up by their play kitchen and then they pretended to pick lemons from the lemon tree and make lemonade. We also went for a walk to pick some lemons and make real lemonade.

October 20th, 2010 @ 9:17 am
Hi Rachel, I did this some time ago now and can't quite remember. I suspect it was done over a couple of days – I always rather do projects whilst the enthusiasm is there rather than force a completion in one go. That said I'm sure the stickers were all done in one go – the girls LOVE using stickers!

Sanity is madness put to good use. – George Santayana
This publication is from my growing collection of paperback books. It's a first edition, and it was published in 1961. Nurses have always been portrayed angels of mercy, or as loose women in popular culture. This book takes the latter approach. The book's main character is Eleanor. She is the eavesdropper who is listening in on her friend's conversation. According to the author, Eleanor has a million-dollar body and no mind of her own. I hate to disillusion the porn crowd, but I've never met a nurse who didn't have a mind of her own. Mindless nurses only exist in the mind of smutty writers. On the other hand, I'll admit that not all nurses are angels. I once worked with a young woman who worked her way through nursing school as a call girl, and I've just starting working with a woman who wished that she had Eleanor's million-dollar body.
I met my new coworker last night. She's a very nice older lady with graying hair, three grown children, two grandchildren, and her husband who just retired. Half way through our shift, she turned to me and said that she needed some advice. She said that she is under a lot of financial stress, and that the other nurses had told her that I'm always looking for new opportunities, and that I always have creative ideas. She told me that she was getting behind on her mortgage payment, and she asked if I had any ideas about how she could make some extra money.
I listened to her plight, and then I asked her what she liked to do in her spare time, and where her strengths and talents lie. She thought a moment, and then said that she likes working with people, that she is a good listener, and that she likes making people happy. Then she quickly added that she was thinking about working in the sex industry. After a moment of stunned silence, and I asked her if she thought she might be a little too old to stand on a street corner all night while wearing four inch stiletto high heel shoes. She looked surprised by my response, and said that she was thinking about working as a phone sex operator from home. She said that she was too old to turn tricks, but that she enjoyed talking dirty to her husband over the phone. She wanted to know if I thought that she could parlay her talents into a new, lucrative career. What could I say?
I wished her luck in achieving her career goals in the New Year.
December 31st, 2007 at 9:43 pm
Very funny story, but it sounds odd that her husband retired and she was having trouble meeting the mortgage. Don't men work until things are paid for, any more? I went back and read your "call girl" post and really smiled. That is one smart woman, I, too, went through nursing school by having sex. He was my husband of twenty-two years and father of my three kids. I was forty and he really got turned on, when I wore nothing but my nurse's cap and stethoscope. Some guys just love nurses!
January 1st, 2008 at 11:49 am
Good for her for thinking outside of the box! And being open/confident enough to talk about it. I just hope it isn't out of complete desperation.

Prediabetes: Reducing Type 2 Diabetes Risk Through a Lifestyle of Good Nutrition and Activity
by Allina Health's Patient Education Department
Family medicine ?
Internal Medical ?
Diabetes, endocrinology and metabolism ?
The target heart rate is a guideline that can help you stay in a safe exercise heart rate range.
As your age increases, your target heart rate will decrease.
If you are just starting an exercise routine, you may want to start out at 60 to 70 percent of your target heart rate.
As you become more fit, you may want to progress to 70 to 80 percent of your target heart rate.
The target heart rate is based on 60 to 80 percent of a maximum heart rate.
For example: If you are 30 years old and just started an exercise program, your target heart rate would be between 114 and 133 beats per minute, and 19 to 22 beats per
10 second count.
Approximate maximum heart rate
Maximum target training zones (beats per minute)
It is important to exercise at a safe and effective training level. There are three ways to check that you are working at the right level for you.
Check your heart rate. To do this:
—Find your pulse on your wrist. (See illustration.)
—Put two fingers on the inside of your wrist just below your thumb. (See illustration.)
—Press lightly until you feel your pulse.
—Count the heartbeats for 10 seconds. Multiply the heartbeats by six.
—If your pulse is irregular or skips beats, count the beats for a full 60 seconds.
—The average resting rate is between 60 to 100 beats each minute.
—If your rate is higher than average, slow down and don't exercise so hard.
Do the "talk test." This is your ability to have a fairly normal conversation while exercising. If you can sing, you need to work a little harder. If you have trouble
talking, you need to slow down.

Vision to America is a division of Christian Worldview Communications, LLC. Established in 2006. Vision to America exists to help America return to our Founding Father's vision for a Christian Republic. America was once a light to the world--a place that God blessed with liberty and prosperity. Today, Americans are taught that the Almighty State has all the answers. As a result, our God-given liberties are being traded for an imaginary sense of security. It is our Vision to see Americans once again recognize that we are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights and that this Creator is the God of the Bible.

I subscribe to a ton of magazines.
A few years ago, the number of subscriptions delivered to my home teetered on the verge of hoarder status. But I'm better now. Really. After a serious purge, I now subscribe only to a reasonable quantity of periodicals -- an amount that I can actually read fully and whose content I can realistically absorb before another edition hits my mailbox.
No, they're not all politically focused, but the publications that I do get from that genre run the gamut. To balance out the liberal flavor of my Harper's reading, I look to The Weekly Standard, and to offset my subscription to The Atlantic, I'll flip though a conservative favorite, The National Review.
Until lately, periodicals seemed to be the last stronghold of civility in political treatments.
Boy, has that changed.
I didn't get past the second page of a magazine the other day before the GOP had been compared to segregationists and white supremacists, and tea party gatherings labeled the "stupidest manifestations" of racial anxiety. This coming from an historically reputable publication.
Writers have strong opinions just like everyone else. But in the past, the most respectable penmen could find creative ways to make a point without resorting to cheap jabs. Now that writing manners are apparently a thing of the past, it's nearly impossible take refuge from extremist racket anywhere.
While pondering this sad state of affairs, I recently stumbled upon a Duke University study that links ideological extremism to a concept called "belief superiority." The authors of the piece wrote that they had "been struck in recent years by how many pundits, politicians, and even commenters on online news articles seem so confident that their own views were better than everyone else's."
To quantify this growing American trend, the researchers measured the attitudes of more than 500 people on nine contentious political issues. The investigation showed that people with more extreme political views tend to score very high on the belief superiority index -- meaning they believe their positions are more correct than anyone else's.
And it's very important to note that belief superiority is not a conservative or liberal phenomenon, as it exists in strong degrees on both ends of the ideological spectrum.
To connect belief superiority to the current dysfunction of American politics, the Duke study was layered on top of a recent piece of research done at the University of Georgia, which revealed that the chasm between liberal and conservative views in Washington is the widest it has ever been and that the number of moderates -- consensus builders -- in Congress is at its lowest point in nearly a century. While the middle class is shrinking, the middle road has been completely washed out.
With this study, it is so easy to see why our elected officials prefer stalemates and shutdowns over conversation and compromise. The drift of American politics toward the extremes is being fueled by a faulty belief that anyone who doesn't think exactly like you is an idiot -- a dangerous "my way, or the highway" mentality.
Belief supremacists live in a black- and-white world. There are no shades of gray, no middle ground, and no compromises.
The authors of the study say that more researchers are at work to detail the effects of belief superiority on other facets of society, from religion to sports. Their findings should make for some interesting reading. And I'll need all the good reads I can get since I'm thinking about canceling a few magazine subscriptions.
David Martin is an adjunct professor of history at UTC.
It never ceases to amaze me how so many people see gridlock in Washington as an "extreme" liberal faction of Democrats locking horns with the undeniably extreme conservative faction of Republicans. The fact of the matter is, there is no extremely liberal faction of Democrats, except for a few like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren - and even most of the Democrats refuse to acknowledge them or take them seriously. I would like for someone to name one significant political group among the Democrats that even exists, let alone wields any power, like the Tea Party does for Republicans. The truth is that the Republicans and conservatives in general have swung so far to the right that what is considered moderate today is still very conservative and the Democrats are having a hard time just trying to stay on even a moderate, compromised course, let alone an "extreme" liberal one.
As far as "belief superiority" goes, we wouldn't bother to express our opinions if each of us didn't think that our views were somehow "superior," though most of us would not be likely to use that word. Perhaps we prefer to think that we are more "right" in our views than those who oppose us. In the end, our opinions and expressed beliefs will probably have no more meaning than the blowing wind, but we like to think that our opinions matter, for what it's worth.
"Democrats" who refuse to acknowledge Ms. Warren and Mr. Sanders are NOT Democrats. PERIOD.

British and Irish Lions winger George North has called for a fast start to the side's future matches on tour in Australia.
The Lions came from behind to win 22-12 against the Reds in Brisbane on Saturday, the touring side struggling at time to cope with the tempo of the Queensland side's play.
North was initially named as a replacement but ended up playing the majority of the match against the Reds after coming on as an early substitute for the injured Manu Tuilagi.
Despite the early introduction, North was outstanding for the touring side and admits that fitness isn't a concern after being named in the starting XV for Tuesday.
"Australia will play a fast game, and we need to make sure we run hard back at them.
"We don't want to be known as just physical guys. We want so show some finesse and mix it up a bit. We need to play as hard as we can, but we also want to play with a bit of style.
"The momentum is good, and after yesterday it's a case of we know what is coming. We will be far stronger for the experience and we will make sure we are not on the back foot for the first 10 minutes again.
"The pace has picked up and we just need to start stronger. They had a terrific skills-set, and it was good to come up against them.
"We knew it was going to be a tough match, and so it proved. They came at us with some pace right from the off, but to be fair to the boys, they dug in.
"We got our noses in front, but we were worked hard for sure. We need to keep our heads down and keep working hard. We need to push on.
"If you are tired, then you shouldn't be wearing the jersey, it's as simple as that. When it comes to fitness it's a case of putting one foot in front of the other one and keep moving forwards.
"You have to keep going. Sure, there has been a lot of travelling, but that is what a Lions tour is all about. It's a lot of travelling and a lot of rugby."

A new procedure at Orlando Executive Airport (KORL) in Florida the host facility for the Static Display of Aircraft at the NBAA's upcoming 65th Annual Meeting & Convention (NBAA2012) – will allow more efficient operations year-round at ORL by enabling controllers to position aircraft on the runway prior to takeoff clearance.
Effective July 1, controllers at the central Florida airport will be able to issue "line up and wait" (LUAW) instructions to departing traffic. Bob Showalter, chairman of Showalter Flying Services, expressed his appreciation to the FAA for approving the new LUAW operations at ORL. "This can only improve the already outstanding throughput at our airport, which has always been the benchmark for other NBAA host airports to emulate," he added.
Implemented in September 2010, LUAW supplanted the previous "taxi into position and hold" (TIPH) instruction in the United States. The change brought FAA terminology into compliance with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and answered a long-standing National Transportation Safety Board recommendation.
LUAW allows for more efficient handling of both departing and arriving traffic to an active runway. Unlike the prior TIPH instruction, however, "line up and wait" is only approved for use via special approval from the FAA, at a handful of towered airports with a documented operational need.
"NBAA thanks the staff at Orlando Executive for making this change, which not only will assist with operations during our upcoming Convention, but also will benefit the airport and pilots throughout the year," said Bob Lamond, NBAA director, air traffic services and infrastructure.

"I can attest to having been extremely frustrated doing web searches trying to find things like software, templates, standard documents, and legal agreements to help me grow my business.
But when advertisers of such services start to put their little classified ads up next to those keywords, the process gets a lot faster. I still use PDF Factory Pro, for example, because I saw their ad on Google next to a jumble of useless results for my web searches on PDF publishing."
Hear, hear! I find myself actively looking for the ads when I'm doing product/shopping-related queries, as sometimes all I want is to know where to buy the freaking stuff and how much it costs. Someone explaining why they offered the thing for their grandma for Christmas, or an obscure academic paper which happens to include my query's keywords, is sometimes just noise. It's all about context.

The Smallgoods provide tasty treats
by admin on Feb.08, 2009, under Events
Move aside Dorsogna, Love Is My Velocity is donning a butcher's apron and a classy hairnet in order to present The Smallgoods - not an array of meats but an awesome Melbourne folk pop group. The show happens at The Velvet Lounge in Mt Lawley on Thursday 19th February 2009, with Benjamin Golby & Bridget Turner, and Nat Carson in support.
This marks The Smallgoods' first jaunt to Perth, playing in a stripped down three piece format, so we're throwing them a welcome shindig. Also deserving of warm greetings is Perth's prodigal son Benjamin Golby (from New Rules for Boats) who is playing his first show since his return from abroad, with a little help from Bridget Turner (from Boys Boys Boys). Nat Carson (from Smallgoods' labelmates The Bank Holidays) also joins the welcoming committee to kick off the proceedings with a cracking solo set. All in all, it's a veritable continental roll worth of meaty treats.
The Smallgoods' music wanders between jaunty folk, spacious epics, dark ballads and gentle psychedelia. Standout proponents of intelligent harmony laden pop music, The Smallgoods bring offerings from Down on the Farm, their third and most ambitious album to date. Released on Melbourne label Lost and Lonesome Records, this album brings the band back to their country roots in the Victorian coastal town of Port Fairy, where they all grew up together.
Did we mention that entry is a mere $7…

Laneway – more like Gameway
by admin on Feb.01, 2009, under Events
Love Is My Velocity join their 7 inch single monkeys the Tigers and the Bank Holidays at the Perth leg of the St Jerome's Laneway Festival this Friday, February 6, 2009.
The PICA Bar will be open as a chill out space for festival patrons during Laneway. While our brosephs bang out the kind of epic sets that inspired us to release their songs on vinyl, we'll be in there spinning wax (aka putting on hastily made mix CDs) and laying on a spread of beanbags and games (board, card, video and Twister) for people who want to take a break from the heat and enjoy a drink in PICA's air-conditioned, indoor-plumbing-festooned comfort.
DJing with us are friends and members of local bands the Burton Cool Suit, Bamodi, Mass Birth, Bermuda, Radarmaker and Astral Travel, as well as some other local chumlies. We'll be playing music keyed into the bands playing. There'll be punk inspired by Jay Reatard, top 40, indie and hip hop hits inspired by Girl Talk, bar band piano and sax solos inspired by the Hold Steady, and more. Then some people are gonna be DJing according to the themes of "video games" and "nightmares", so there's something for everyone, really.
The games we'll be playing are Streetfighter, Columns, NBA Jam, Uno, Mousetrap, Twister, Boggle, Scrabble, Pictionary, Super Mario 3, Mario Kart 64, and some stuff we don't even know about yet. We also have a Spirograph set. Remember that thing? You won't even want to see the bands. We promise.
Love Is My Velocity's Gameway Festival – in the PICA Bar from 4pm to 12pm, Friday February 6.

Researchers at Creighton University have gotten a federal grant to study how heredity affects prostate cancer in black men.
Creighton Hereditary Cancer Center director Henry Lynch says prostate cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among
American men and is more prevalent among black men than whites.
Hereditary is believed to be a link in 10 percent of cases.
Creighton is partnering with Jackson State University in
Mississippi on the study. They're seeking 300 black men diagnosed with prostate cancer from eastern Nebraska and about 500 from Jackson, Miss. For details, visit http://bit.ly/dn25uy.
The grant money comes from the U.S. Department of Defense.

Talc truck flips, closing Route 100August 24,2013Talc truck flips,
closing Route 100
WESTON A tractor-trailer carrying more than 20 tons of talc overturned on Route 100, shutting down one lane for about six hours Friday morning.
Kenneth Schomber, 50, of Montpelier, Ind., was driving a 2012 Kenworth tractor-trailer south on Route 100 and was rounding a curve at 8:40 a.m. when the vehicle went off the road and overturned onto its side, according to Trooper Paul Dean of the Vermont State Police.
Schomber was uninjured, Dean said, but the contents of the trailer proved to be a chore to remove.
The trailer was carrying 15 pallets of talc powder: 55 bags on each pallet, each bag weighing 50 pounds. The entire load weighed about 41,000 pounds.
The bags were manually removed from the trailer and reloaded on the pallets, which were then loaded on a second tractor-trailer.
Dean said large wreckers were used to return the overturned vehicle to an upright position so it could be towed away.
Schomber was issued a ticket for driving too fast for conditions, Dean said. A commercial motor vehicle inspection will be conducted to determine any potential violations, he said.MORE IN This Just InIRASBURG - Vermont Fish and Wildlife wardens have accused a couple of running an elaborate deer...

Good Morning DAD...
Another beautiful day. How quickly we forget the cold days when we are blessed with a nice sunny day. I have visitors coming for the day. Last year they came in sweaters and jackets; this year I said leave the sweaters and coats home. We should be able to sit and walk along the beach today. I wish those Rushkin tomatoes were still available for today's lunch but local tomatoes are gone until May or June. When your tomato plants arrive from burpees in a few weeks, you will have to show us step by step what you do to make them grow so healthy and plentiful.
Work around the house is always best when completed. Hope you don't have too much noise and dust in the air. A good contractor usually knows how to keep that down to a minimum. Do try to get out and enjoy that 64 degree day. The birds must be singing outside your window providing good entertainment for Prince. Have a wonderful day and SMILE.

Dear Dad, Ms. Mary and sweet Prince:
(I have a squirmelly cat on my lap, so any typos are because of her! ;) ) Glad you have a good contractor -- that is so important, I know! I have a great one out here who did a lot of work for me and I refer them to anyone locally who needs this kind of work. They do painting and roofing, and build things like gates.
Those tomato recipes sound delicious! Do you love salsa as much as I do? ;)
Wishing you all a good afternoon and evening. Love and lots of purrs from Jamaka and fams <3
