Pedro Garcia Minnie feather pumps
Steph Powell writes...
When I searched for these Pedro Garcia Minnie feather pumps, Google asked me if I'd meant 'leather' pumps'. Unfortunately, no I did not.
I've never understood the attraction of having feathers on your clothes (Solange Knowles, I'm talking to you. I know you want attention, and everyone loves your sister, but please, for the love of God, get a new stylist) but if I had to I'd probably be more inclined to have them on my shoes.
These heels, covered in green feathers, and with a pearl detail pin at the toe, come in at £490 from Net-a-Porter, and are actually growing on me. But I think I'd be too scared of a moulting situation to be able to wear them anywhere.

Ozonated Olive Oil is similar to ozonated castor oil. We think that Edgar Cayce Ozonated Castor Oil is similar to but has more healing properties than Ozonated Olive Oil. Ozonated Olive oil is more popular because it is more well known.
Ozonated Castor Oil is well regarded in Europe as it has the extra benefit of the legendary effectiveness of Castor Oil.

Ozonated Olive Oil - Ozonated Olive Oil Paste Review>
The benefits of Ozonated Olive Oil is primarily for skin conditions. The advantage of any topical oil or lotion is that it is more bio-available to the skin. This is very important especially for babies and those with delicate skin. A paste is more protective of the skin in cold weather. It sits on top of the skin longer than an oil does.
For Ozonated Oils, the pastes have more ozone embedded into them than do the oils. There are many ozone therapies. More is not necessarily better. For both paste and Ozonated Oil, the ozone does absorb into the skin.
Ozonated Olive Oil
It is thinner thus allowing for easier penetration into the skin.
MoreMore bio available, especially for more delicate skin.
Our Cold Pressed Extra Virgin

Safer for kids and pets
Ozonated Olive Oil Paste
Much more dense

Smell of ozone is more pronounced.
Taste is worse than

More is not always better> Dr. Greenberg, formerly of the Kief Clinic, has shown, in vitro, that at concentrations of 90 ug/ml there was crimping of red blood cells which was
definitely harmful
. Experiments by F. Sweet et al, have shown inhibition of growth in healthy cells at concentrations above 70 ug/ml. Levels are much higher in
Ozonated Olive Oil Paste
Ozonated Oils are safer
as they stay below these levels.
History and Research on Ozone Generation and Ozonated Oil
The ozone generator was patented by Nicola Tesla in 1896.
Nicola Tesla was a contemporary of
Thomas Edison
. Nicola Tesler began marketing Ozonated Olive Oil to medical doctors. He chose Olive Oil because of it's availabilty and high burn factor, not for any particular healing properties of Olive Oil.
Tesla ozonated a number of oils, including ones that were available in the Sears & Roebuck Catalog which included Euclyptus, Spermint and Pine Ozonated Oils.
Nicola Tesler was a world famous electrical genius, visionary and mystic with over 300 patents, including AC and wireless communication, ionized gases, cold plasma, and ozone generation for oxyen therapy. Nicola Tesla started the Tesla Ozone Company and sold to Naturopaths, Allopaths and Doctors, ozonated oils of various types.

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Stylish and smiling, three women allegedly held captive in a Cleveland home for a decade offered thanks on YouTube for emotional and financial backing they've received since going "through hell and back."
From Amanda Berry, 27: "I want everyone to know how happy I am to be home, with my family, my friends," she said.
"I would say 'thank you' for the support," said a soft-spoken Gina DeJesus, 23, in response to prompting from a narrator.
And from Michelle Knight, 32, who wasn't a familiar face on a milk carton around town like the other two, came a sometimes halting yet defiant reading of a statement.
"I may have been through hell and back, but I am strong enough to walk through hell with a smile on my face and with my head held high," she said. "I will not let the situation define who I am. I will define the situation. I don't want to be consumed by hatred."

All elections matter, but not all elections portend change or leave us smarter about our politics. The past presidential election, however, scored the hat trick. It was one that mattered, one that brought change, and one that left lessons. Here are some of them.
Some of the lessons of 2008 are familiar. Presidential elections always have been a referenda on the incumbent party, a bad economy always trumps every other political concern, and money always matters. But there were also some things about this election that were different. Foremost among them, race is lessening as a determinant of political outcomes and gender is entering a new and unclear period. That's a lot of lessons and probably enough change for one election.

Six people were injured early Thursday following a police chase that ended in a crash in Omaha. Officers were attempting to stop a car around 1 a.m. when it sped away.
Police chased the car to Leavenworth and Saddle Creek where the driver of the car lost control and slammed head-on into another car. That car was then pushed into a third vehicle.
Occupants of the suspect vehicle ran from the scene but were captured after a brief foot chase.
The driver, identified as 39-year old Dwayne S. Marco, has a misdemeanor warrant for Leaving the Scene of a Property Damage Accident and was driving on a suspended license. He was taken to Creighton University Medical Center with a laceration to the head and was admitted for observation.
Twenty-year-old Dana D. Budlong Jr., a passenger in the car, has a misdemeanor warrant out of Washington County. Budlong was taken to CUMC where he was treated for a laceration to the head and admitted for observation.
A second passenger, 20-year-old Joseph S. Rynkol, was treated and released from CUMC.
The driver of the second vehicle, 38-year-old Thomas A. Conway, is being treated for two fractures and is listed in serious but stable condition. Police say he was driving on a suspended license.
The passenger in Conway's car, 43-year-old Bobbie M. Moore, was transported to CUMC for treatment of a possible neck injury. She's listed in serious but stable condition.
The lone occupant of the third vehicle, 26-year-old Jeric S. Nelson, was not injured. Nelson was also driving on a suspended license.
Charges are pending in the case.

After attending a mandatory preflight briefing at a balloon festival, the pilot launched his balloon with the first group of balloons to launch. During an approach for landing in a field, the balloon encountered stronger-than-expected wind. The approach to the landing crossed power lines, a commercial building, and a fence. The pilot stated that as the balloon approached the field, it became unresponsive and impacted the fence; he thought that the balloon encountered a "false heavy," or wind shear, which resulted in a loss of lift.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This school has excellent academic standards and rigor -- as well as and an opportunity for kids to partake in a variety of Physical Education modes - including swimming from 2nd Grade up.
My wife and I are parents of a K2 student now at the JQS, and we couldn't be happier. Our son had been in Montessori pre-school programs, and we were concerned with how he would handle the transition. In short, the experience has been great. The facilities and programs at the JQS are excellent. We've been very happy with how our child has responded in the classroom, and proud of his participation in the school's impressive orchestra program. Art and Mandarin language classes have also been great. Great kids, involved parents and a committed faculty lead by very dynamic principal who truly wants to see the school grow and succeed.
The Josiah Quincy Elementary School is an amazing school providing an terrific education for students. When my daughter was there from Kindergarden to Grade 5, she had a great time with her friends which was great influence. Compare to a lot of other schools in the district or around the city, JQS is one of the best schools possibly. Her teachers paid attention to her and made sure that there was no peer pressure or much bullying happening at the school. There's also many special enrichment activities such as swimming for Grade 2 and up, taught by professionally trained trainers. There's also club every Friday for 5th graders and also, many other after school programs such as Girls Scout. There was always involvement with the parent and teacher meetings, and the principal was always being a good role model and greeting the teacher after school and in the morning. Honestly, this is one of the best schools in Boston. My daughter felt fine fitting in, even with moving from Bilingual to Advance Work Class for 4th and 5th graders. Lastly, there's also shows for Chinese New Year, Christmas, etc. Great learning experience! If you're planning on moving to this district, pick JQS!
I attended this school from K2-5 and I have to say, I thank this school for where I am right now. The teachers are very nice and caring, and I felt like family at this place for 6 years. The school is separated into 2 schools, the elementary and upper(middle/high school). Most of the students from the elementary school move on to the Upper. I can't say much about my JQUS experience compared to my JQES experience since I attended for one year before attending an exam school.
There are 2 different schools The Josiah Quincy Elementary and the Josiah Quincy Upper School. I don't have experience with the JQS Upper School but the Josiah Quincy Elementary School is an excellent school! The teachers are caring, supportive and informative. They appear to work very hard from what I see in their classrooms, at school events, in the work coming home and in the progress I see with my child's learning. I found the teachers I have known there to be talented at teaching and motiving kids. They seem to understand that all kids are different and they both challenge and support. My kids looked forward to going to school every day. The school also offers great before and after school enrichment classes like sports, gymnastics, art, music, and yoga. It has Advanced Work program available to some students for grades 3,4,5 too, which is even more challenging compared to their already tough regular academic programs. It's a great school.
Excellent teaching from the school and my child has learned pretty impressive things from the school.
The teachers at JQES (PK - 5) work closely with the parents to ensure that the children receive the best education possible and that the learning doesn't stop at the classroom. These teachers go above and beyond for our kids. We all share the same goal of putting the children and their needs first. for this reason there is a strong parent group willing to donate their time and energy to the school as well.
It's focus on language and culture makes it a great learning environment for kids.
Fewer students and some of the greatest teachers in Boston make JQUS tops over the best exam schools where a child can get lost in the crowd.
I have been a parent of a student at the jqs since 1990, all of my daughters have attended this school and now have moved onto the middle school and high school. There academic programs is one of the best i seen. There is always an activity the kids can get involved with, for chinese new year, black history month, christmas and other. I've got to meet a lot of other parents at teacher conference's or at special events. The teachers here make the parents part of the program and that helps. If your child falls behind they are on the phone letting you know. I'm proud that my kids have a great school to attend.

EID OK's $16M in bonds
Charlotte Sanchez-Kosa, Mt Democrat, June 25, 2012The El Dorado Irrigation District Board of Directors gave the OK on June 11 to staff to refinance $16 million in bonds that in the long run could save ratepayers quite a bit of money.
According to EID General Manager Jim Abercrombie, in 2010, the board invested over $300 million on infrastructure to fix treatment plants, the hydroelectric project and other projects including flumes. Over the years EID counted on hookup fees to pay the debt service costs but with the onset of the recession those hookup fees all but disappeared, leaving EID to wonder how to compensate for the loss.
"In the last two or three years, we cut our costs by about $4 million," he said. "We increased revenue with PG&E for about $4 million and lastly we had to increase rates to pay the debt for the projects that are in the ground. That's the biggest issue."
He said following a cost of service study there were a number of different proposals created to help allocate the costs.
"As we were preparing the budget for 2012, back in September of 2011, one of the thoughts was that we wanted to slowly phase in the rate increases to pay for the debt instead of having another episode of a big rate shock — so how do we do that?" Abercrombie asked. "The proposals were shared with the board on Sept. 26 and the proposal is exactly what we did Monday."
He added the ...

Call this a good news/bad news (or potentially) story line for the Northeast Washington Fair. The good news is that the fair has received grant funding that will help make some necessary repairs/upgrades to facilities. The bad news is the black hole that is the Washington state budget and how some potential draconian cuts could impact fairs like the popular four-day event on the Northeast Washington Fairgrounds each August. The Northeast Washington Fair has received a pair of grants from the Washington State Agriculture Fairs division for 2012. Awarded on safety and energy-efficiency criteria was a $17,000 electrical upgrade to the grandstands at the fairgrounds. According to Northeast Washington Fair Manager, Lori Matlock, the money will help upgrade "all the overhead lamps with new energy efficiency lighting" since the old, existing fixtures "are so obsolete that you will not be able to get (replacement) bulbs soon." Grandstand lighting The grant funding will also help with lighting underneath the grandstands so that area can be better utilized, Matlock said. The final section of that grant funding addresses exterior lights on the grandstand roof. "We will be able to bring them (lights) down and under the eaves so the snow does not tear them off each winter," Matlock noted, adding that the steps going up the aging grandstand will also be repaired, although she conceded, "I'm not sure how yet, but they will get fixed." There was also grant funding to move the Spencer stage to its new home. "We will have to ask for help with some concrete footings and blocks for a permanent home," the fair manager added. "Our performing arts and our local talent…and the fact that this area is rented out more and more requires an upgrade," Matlock pointed out. "Thanks to all those folks who come and help at the fair and on the grounds. Your efforts are never taken for granted." While the grant funding helps, counties and fair managers like Matlock are worried about the potential impact of the state's budget woes. Ditto for cash-strapped Stevens County and its dwindling coffers. A supplemental budget Gregoire released last month just ahead of a special session of the Washington State Legislature proposes $2 billion in cuts and floated the idea of a temporary sales tax increase, along with some other measures to try and stem the tide and negative impact of some of the looming cuts that will become clearer during the regular legislative session in early 2012. Likely to be among the affected will be the summer life-blood of many rural Washington counties—county fairs. $3 million cut proposed to Department of Agriculture budget to state fairs Among the budget axe proposals is a $3 million cut to the Department of Agriculture's budget for state fairs. Sure, taking that prized, potential grand champion to the fair will still be a good idea, but the money might not be what it once was. Can you say "premium?" Premiums are the cash awards that are paid in agriculture, arts and crafts to exhibitors at fair time. Cutting funding that is used for fair premiums could particularly impact agriculture categories because the prize money is an incentive for young people to haul their livestock from farm to county fairs like the Northeast Washington Fair in Colville. If state fair money is cut, the upshot is likely smaller cash prizes or cuts to other attractions that bring patrons through the fair turnstiles each summer. In eastern Washington counties like the Tri-County region, state money makes up between 25 and 50 percent of fair budgets. "Our governor (Chris Gregoire) is trying her best to shut the fairs down," Matlock said bluntly. "As you know, this will have a trickle down effect…right down to the most important…the kids. "There are several generations of avid 4-H members who have built this program and this fair into what it is today. I urge you to contact your governor today and explain why this is just not acceptable." Change is in the offing, and where it concerns cornerstone events for counties like community fairs, those changes won't be pretty. "With the budget cuts at the (Stevens) county level, there will be some changes, I have been told," Matlock added. "So hold on to your hats, ladies and gentlemen. We may end up in Kansas on this tailwind."

Concealing large pores with makeup is also an option. Start by applying a foundation primer, a product that evens out skin tone and prevents foundation from sinking into pores, suggests New York makeup artist Paula Dorf. When it dries, apply your foundation. Cream or cream-to-powder formulas work better than liquid foundations, which can soak into the pores, making them even more obvious. As a final step, use a brush to apply a light dusting of loose powder. Products to try: Paula Dorf Perfect Primer, Oil of Olay Complete Radiance Foundation and Calvin Klein Loose Powder.

Coach Warren Gatland pointed to Sam Warburton's record with Wales as the reason behind the decision to hand the 24-year-old the Lions captaincy for the 2013 tour to Australia.
Warburton and Gatland have forged a close relationship during their time together in the Welsh camp and it was no surprise that the flanker was given the role ahead of Lions veterans Brian O'Driscoll and Paul O'Connell.
The 15-strong Welsh contingent is the by far the largest in the squad which includes 25 first-time Lions tourists.
"In the last two or three years he's been the most successful captain in the northern hemisphere," said Gatland.
"When we sat down to pick a squad - and it's a fantastically strong squad - we decided that Sam would be one of the names among the starting Test XV.
"I have a huge amount of respect for Sam. He's an absolute professional who leads from the front and I believe he'll do a fantastic job.
"We pretty much finalised the squad last night - the management assembled yesterday afternoon," explained Gatland at Tuesday's press conference.
"There was some robust debate and I know there will be some disappointed players. There were some really healthy discussions in every position.
"We've looked at performances over the last few weeks and players who have come back from injury, but the benchmark was the Six Nations.
"Ideally you'd like to pick everyone but we've had a thorough process and we feel like we have an incredibly talented squad with a lot of depth in a lot of positions.
"All 37 of these players should go to Hong Kong and Australia with the ambition of making the Test side."
Warburton has described his appointment skipper as an "unbelievable honour."
"Warren told me a week ago Sunday. For the last nine or 10 days it's been the hardest secret I've ever had to keep," he said at Tuesday's squad announcement press conference in London.
"You just want to tell people, but I managed to keep it to myself.
"It's unbelievable - an accolade that very few people are able to achieve. To have the opportunity to do this is an unbelievable honour.
"Obviously it's going to be new for me and I'm going to learn along the way. I can't sit here and say I know what's going to happen because I don't.
"There's a good Welsh contingent of leaders who I can rely on and there are other experienced players in the squad who can help me along the way.
"It's an experience I really can't wait to begin. I'm really looking forward to it now and will just keep doing what I do for Wales because I guess that's what Warren has picked me for.
"I'm always the eternal optimistic anyway, so I'll go out there with the intention of winning every match," he added.
"I was chatting to (tour manager) Andy (Irvine) last night and he said that it's not something that's been done before, so that will be a great challenge to set out to the players.
"Everyone who's been picked is naturally a great competitor and will be desperate to give everything to the Lions.
"Nobody on the tour has had a Test series win and I'm sure that's something that we'd all like to achieve."


text: Greetings! I know many of you on this list are well experienced embroiderers with much knowledge and skill. :-) However, I know many of us are asked how we create the things with we with needle and thread and hear sighs of "gee, I wish I could do something like that." I've put together a class for just those type of people through The Costume Gallery (www.costumegallery.com). This class is geared toward the absolute beginner. We'll be holding a Part 2 of the class in July too. The nice thing about an internet class is that you can learn the skill in the privacy of your own home...no one has to see how many stitches you pick out! LOL CLASS INFO FOLLOWS: Beginning Embroidery: Techniques Used From 1916-1920: Part 1 This is truly a basic beginner class intended for those who have never held a hoop, put thread to needle or had any experience with the art of embroidery. I'm using a great find of a 1916 instructional booklet found by Penny (owner of Costume Gallery and a member of this list) that is a great primer for embroidery. In this first class we'll be going over supplies, equipment, transferring design, and focus will be on the actual preparation of the fabric for stitching and learning stitches themselves. Students will be taught what are considered the "building block" stitches: running stitch double running stitch cross stitch (if time several of the forms of this stitch such as long-arm, etc. may be taught) chain stitch stem stitch French knots and finally, the ever popular satin stitch. I'm sure this class is probably way to basic for most of the members on the list, but if someone you know is really wanting to learn the basic of embroidery from the comfort of his or her own home through an internet course, please pass the info along. To check out the syllabus of the class, go to : http://www.costumeclassroom.com/ scroll down to the classes for May and click on the link for Beginning Embroidery: Techniques Used from 1910 - 1920: Part 1 PS - BTW - Threads Magazine (Dec. 2004 issue) rated the Costumes Classroom as one of the top five best sewing schools on the web!!

Funnel Cloud Lookalike Yesterday
By Joey W on July 24, 2013, 10:15am Last modified: July 25, 2013, 9:26am
Use your ← → (arrow) keys to browse more stories.
Yesterday, in eastern New Haven County, I experienced a strong thunderstorm that packed some very heavy rain, gusty winds, pea sized hail, and VERY frequent lightning. In fact, one time lightning hit my house! Anyway. these are a few photos I took before the storm. I found the clouds to be fascinating, and some that looked like a so-called "Cold Core Funnel Cloud".
When I looked outside, I saw the potential "funnel", so I checked out velocity (on radar) and I noticed that there was a little rotation, but nothing too strong.
Here are a couple more photos I took of this potential "funnel" or wall cloud.

Story of Gino's career jumping from one team to another and the deal always being done late so no testing etc.. He needs a proper manager who can get him a decent 2 year ride with a decent team so he can get some consistency and have a fair crack at it. Crimea GP backing out is a real blow as I think they were the main people writing out the cheque for Gino's rides. Motorcycle racing can be so harsh sometimes. I read that he is doing a fund raising website where you can pledge money and he will give rewards for your donations to get him on the grid. Gino has 22,402 followers on twitter if each gave 6.70 euros that would give him the 150,000 euros to get him on the grid. I will pledge some for you Gino and get all of my biker mates to give once your website is up and running. Fingers crossed. Fank Yu.

A new effort is underway to restrict what some people consider a constant aggravation in Madison's downtown, panhandling. A city council member introduced his proposal during a community meeting on the issue Wednesday morning.
It's not the noise, or the remarks.
Some say it's about downtown's quality of life.
"I think for certain people, they choose to go elsewhere," bookstore owner Sandi Torkildson says.
Perhaps they go elsewhere to avoid people like Matches.
"Yesterday I made, like, 12 bucks. I spent it on food," he says.
"Matches" declined to go on camera but says he's an 18-year-old, who panhandles.
Torkildson says, "I see people panhandling and I see people walking by, diverting their eyes maybe passing a business by because they want to keep walking."
Torkildson owns a business just off of State Street.
"I don't know if there's any other business area in Madison that actually deals with this on the same level that we do," she says.
Torkildson supports a new effort to restrict panhandling citywide. The proposal bans the practice within 25 feet of any open sidewalk cafe, within 25 feet of an intersection, or within 12 feet of a store front.
"For example, downtown there are almost on a regular basis panhandlers outside of any liquor store," 4th District Ald. Mike Verveer says.
Current law allows panhandling between State Street light posts and the curb. Some say the boundaries need to change anyway due to reconstruction.
"We're doing away with the light poles that created the current artificial barrier under the existing ordinance," Verveer says.
Supporters of the measure say the restrictions will lessen a practice that only feeds a person's addiction.
Torkildson says, "if you really want to help you should give to programs that help people get out of that lifestyle."
Instead of giving to the person living it.
"It's basically as bad as abolishing panhandling on State Street, which is only place in Madison you can make money," Matches says.
Council member Mike Verveer says the restrictions still leave room for panhandlers to operate.
He says the amendment could go to a full council vote sometime in May.

Temps falling Sunday evening, Arctic chill in the works
Sunday morning will be partly cloudy and cold in Detroit and southeast Michigan. Hords of men's college basketball fans will be gearing up for the big Michigan-Michigan State game in Ann Arbor at noon. Anyone driving to Crisler Arena or their favorite watch-venue will have dry roads to drive on most of the time. There are areas of poor drainage with slippery spots or puddles. Also, the region's recent thaw has revealed massive, damaging potholes that can flatten tires and dent rims.
Sunday afternoon will be mostly sunny and chilly with highs near 30 degrees by the end of the Spartans-Wolverines game. The wind will blow from the west at 10 to 15 mph.
Sunday night will be colder with lows in the middle and low teens. Skies will be mostly clear.
Monday will be bright, again, but cold with highs in the low 20s. Monday night and Tuesday will have a cold front whiz overhead with snow showers and frigid air behind it. This is the next polar vortex that will dominate the remainder of the week. Highs will be between 10 and 15 degrees and morning/nighttime lows will be in the single digits or below zero with wind chills well below zero Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

A statue of Billy Graham stands outside the Southern Baptist Convention's Nashville headquarters.Photo by Associated Press /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
Americans like Southern Baptists more than Mormons and Muslims but less than Methodists, according to a poll released this week seeking to gauge public perception of Southern Baptists.
Southern Baptist Convention President Bryant Wright, an Atlanta-area megachurch pastor, asked for the poll after launching a task force this year to consider changing the denomination's name. That group asked denomination-affiliated LifeWay Research to poll public opinion about the denomination.
Researchers discovered 62 percent of Americans have a favorable view of Methodists, while only 53 percent have a favorable view of Southern Baptists. About 40 percent of Americans have a negative impression of Southern Baptists, the lowest rating among traditional denominations.
Continue reading at the Tennessean.
I agree the Southern Baptists reputation has gotten worse since they allowed worldly praise band music into their churches. They must of thought competing with the world using the worlds' tools were going to solve the problem.
Yeah, electric guitars are Satan's handiwork. What are they thinking?!
when people stop believeing in the holy ghost and stop worshipping the Lord in spirit the church dies
I don't like any group of christians who speak badly, usually out of ignorance toward any other group of christians as Jesus himself prayed to the father asking Him to keep his followers united as one just as he and the father were united as one. Not only the followers He had then but all to come after. John 17
I doubt if it has anything to do with what type of music is being played in the church. Today's Christians, as a whole, seem to be so filled with anger, hatred, intolerance and bigotry against anyone who doesn't subscribe to their beliefs. They're the polar opposite of what Jesus stood for and their own Biblical teachings. Most seem to be a throw back to the Jim Crow and lynch mobs turned high tech. Those Jim Crow, lynch mobs considered themselves Christians too, and even prayed about it before going on their posse rides terrorizing the countryside.

The Lost Notebooks
- Description: The Lost Notebooks was an investigation into an ethics of behaviour. Lost notebooks were left around Stockholm, Sweden and Newcastle, UK containing login information to a fake banking site, winkbank. People attempting to use the login details were tracked using google analytics.
The project was prompted by the assumption that Swede's had higher morals than brits. In carrying out the project it also posed a question, does the researcher have a right to track people in this way.

Most people are aware of Big Pharma, thanks to its advertising, but few are aware of Animal Pharma, the animal drug divisions within drug companies that sell livestock drugs by the ton. Unlike people Pharma, many Animal Pharma drugs do not require a prescription or a veterinarian and the hormones, growth promoters, feed additives and antiparasite and antifungal drugs are loosely regulated and monitored. The USDA tests for residues from the drugs in meat, poultry and egg products but repeat offender farms that release animals with violative drug residues into the human food supply are identified weekly.
Among the drugs found in beef released to the public in a USDA Inspector General report were penicillin, the antibiotics florfenicol, sulfamethazine and sulfadimethoxine, the antiparasite drug ivermectin, the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug flunixin and heavy metals. Some drug-contaminated meat was released into the human food supply and there was no attempt at a recall, says the report.
The highest of all veterinary drug residues are found in bob veal (calves under three days old that weigh only 70 to 100 pounds) says the USDA Inspector General report, because "Farmers are prohibited from selling milk for human consumption from cows that have been medicated with antibiotics (as well as other drugs) until the withdrawal period is over; so instead of just disposing of this tainted milk, producers feed it to their calves. When the calves are slaughtered, the drug residue from the feed or milk remains in their meat, which is then sold to consumers." Meat from bob calves is put into "value added" veal products like veal sausages and breaded veal patties.
Is there any other food that is so dangerous and cruel at the same time?
There were an astounding 211 drug residue violations from just four plants, says the report, because "individuals who have a history of picking up dairy cows with drugs in their system and dropping them off at the plant" are widely tolerated. For example, Golden Jay Dairy in Tulare, CA had three violations in 2013-all for residues of the antibiotic neomycin in bob veal.

On May 28, 2012, at approximately 4:21 p.m. a Piper PA-28 and a Beechcraft BE-35 collided in flight about five miles from Warrenton-Fauquier Airport in Sumerduck, VA. Following the mid-air collision, the Piper PA-28 crash landed in a field and the BE-35 crashed in a wooded area.
Following the accident, investigators learned that the PA-28 was registered to an FAA employee and the BE-35 was registered to an NTSB employee.
Because both airplanes were owned and/or operated by NTSB and FAA employees, NTSB Chairman Deborah A.P. Hersman, in consultation with FAA Acting Administrator Michael Huerta, requested that the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) conduct this investigation.
"This accident hits especially close to home, with the involvement of an NTSB employee," said Chairman Deborah A. P. Hersman. "I'm grateful to TSB-Canada Chair Wendy Tadros for agreeing to conduct the investigation and the NTSB stands ready to support and assist them in any way we can."
The owner and pilot of the PA-28, an FAA employee, survived the collision with injuries. An NTSB employee is the registered owner of the BE-35. The two occupants of the BE-35 were fatally injured. The Virginia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner is responsible for making the proper identifications and death notifications.
NTSB investigator Paul Cox will serve as the NTSB's Accredited Representative to the TSB investigation.
The TSB's Media Relations will release all updates. The TSB Media Relations phone number is (819) 994-8053 and the e-mail address is email@example.com. For more information on the Transportation Safety Board of Canada, visit their website at www.tsb.gc.ca.

I'm explaining how to make the Sour Cream & Onion ones, since they are my favorite, but you can just as easily make the Original ones, just by not adding sour cream or onion to the mixture.
Even though they may not look exactly like Pringles, the flavor is really really close (and, if you make the original ones, even closer)
Step 1: Ingredients
- 2 small onions
- 3 small lemons (or 4 tbsp of lemon juice)
- 4 tbsp of cornstarch
- 1 cup of milk
- 1/2 cup of sour cream
- 1 2/3 cups of instant mashed potatoes (powder)
- 1 tbsp of salt
- 1 tbsp of sugar
- Oil
- Ground black pepper
Step 2: Prepare the ingredients
You don't have to cut them in very small pieces, since you will be straining the mixture later, and you will discard the pieces. 1/2 inch pieces should be more than enough.
Once you are done with the onions, squeeze the lemons and save the juice.
Step 3: Make the mix
Then, add the lemon juice you saved, the salt, and the sugar. Mix again.
Once you have mixed everything, put the pot on the fire and heat the mix until it boils. Then turn the fire off and let the mix settle for 10 minutes.
Finally, strain the mix. What you need is the liquid, so you can discard the rest.

text: On June 7, 2002, at 0718 Pacific daylight time, a Piper PA-38-112, N49672, veered off the runway during a touch-and-go landing at Henderson (L15), Nevada. DSA, Inc., was operating the airplane under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 91. The certified flight instructor (CFI) pilot was not injured, and the student pilot sustained minor injuries; the airplane sustained substantial damage. The local instructional flight departed about 0700. Day visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan had been filed.The CFI reported that the airplane was in the landing pattern practicing touch-and-go landings. On the third approach to landing, the student flared too high; the airplane contacted the ground hard and bounced. The CFI instructed the student to go around by applying full power and reducing the flaps to the first notch. The student applied full power, and raised the flaps to the full up position. The CFI then lowered the nose to gain airspeed. The airplane contacted the ground two more times before coming to rest on the left side of the runway. The right wing dug into dirt and rocks in the uneven terrain beside the runway. The wing and fuselage sustained substantial damage.

National Guard in action to rescue motorists in Porter County
By KEVIN NEVERS
Motorists stranded in their vehicles on Ind. 8 between
Kouts and Hebron were being rescued by the Indiana National Guard today,
as a state of emergency remained in effect in Porter County until further
notice, the Porter County Sheriff's Police said.
Ind. 8 "looks like a parking lot," PCSP Sgt. Larry LaFlower
told the Chesterton Tribune this morning. "We've got to get the
abandoned vehicles off the roads so we can open the roads."
Under the state of emergency, which went into effect at 6
p.m. Sunday, all but emergency traffic has been banned in unincorporated
Porter County.
The good news: as of 8 a.m. today there had been no reports
of casualties due to the weather, LaFlower said.
The stranded vehicles, however, were severely impeding the
progress of the County Highway Department's plows, withdrawn from the
roads at 6 p.m. Sunday but returned to service at 4 a.m. today. "We're
running into a lot of stranded vehicles," Deputy Highway Superintendent
David James said. "They're in our way and we have to wait for them to be
towed. It'll take most of the day. As for the subdivisions, I don't know
when we'll get to them."
Folks who live in the Town of Chesterton or the City of
Valparaiso—where many or most main streets are passable—have no idea how
bad the unincorporated roads are, James added. "It's a whole different
story in the county. It's like night and day. It's like Indiana and
In Chesterton, meanwhile, an all-hands effort has succeeded
in opening all roads, Street Commissioner John Schnadenberg said. "We
rotated in 12-hours shifts, with help from the Utility, Park, and
Engineering departments. I'm proud of the teamwork."
Crews are now concentrating on plowing up to the mailboxes
and clearing cul-de-sacs in the subdivisions. Cul-de-sacs should be
cleared by 2:30 p.m., Schnadenberg estimated.
"I'm surprised the guys were able to do as much as they
did," he said. "The conditions last night were extremely difficult, with
the blowing snow. We could only drive 10 miles per hour because of
visibility issues. The route to Crocker was the hardest and 1100N and
1050N were also tough. I'm very proud of my men."
Schnadenberg did attribute part of the victory over the
snow to the Street Department's "good, reliable" fleet. "Having updated
equipment made all the difference," he said.
Traveling in town was possible this morning. Getting out of
town, on the other hand, would be a problem, as I-94 from the Illinois
state line to the Michigan remained closed this morning. "It's been years
since I've heard of that," Schnadenberg said.
In fact, Chesterton Police Chief Dave Cincoski told the
Tribune, Indiana State Police troopers were posted at I-94 on-ramps
precisely to keep motorists off the Interstate.
Here "things are actually pretty quiet," Cincoski said.
"The roads are snow covered but passable. The Street Department did a very
good job. Officers had a quiet shift last night and people are staying off
the roads. There have been no crashes reported."
As of 7:15 a.m. today, no one had taken advantage of the
warming shelter at the town hall, 726 Broadway.
The Chesterton Fire Department also had a mostly quiet
night, although firefighters did respond to four medical calls, two of
them requiring transport to hospital, CFD spokesman Nate Williams said. In
those cases a municipal plow led the way and cleared a path for the
emergency vehicles.
None of the medical calls were weather related, Williams
In Porter, plow crews have been on duty continuously, in
12-hours shifts, for the last 72 hours, Public Works Director Brenda
Brueckheimer said. Three Public Works employees worked through Sunday
night, with the result that all of the main roads had two-lane access,
with side streets and subdivisions having one-lane access.
Porter Beach, however, was not accessible at mid-morning,
thanks to seven- and eight-foot snowdrifts. "We've got a loader clearing
alleys, then we'll go out to Porter Beach," Brueckheimer said.
There was one trip to Porter Beach on Sunday night, though,
when an elderly resident's furnace gave out, prompting the Porter Fire
Department to respond. "We got her to another house," Deputy Fire Chief
Jay Craig said—after a path had been cleared by a Public Works plow.
The Town of Chesterton's municipal offices were open for
business today.
So was Hopkins Ace Hardware.
A skeleton crew was manning
the phones at the offices of the Chesterton Tribune, but there will
be no print edition of the paper today, so as not to put carriers in
danger from the bitter cold. A combined Monday/Tuesday edition will be
printed on Tuesday, Jan, 7.

Universal System and Output Transformer for Valve Amplifiers
Vacuum tube amplifiers need an output transformer as impedance converter between the high impedance vacuum tubes and the low impedance loudspeaker. A new universal output transformer is proposed. All possible variations of topologies in tube amplifiers are brought into one general system. The new transformer is discussed and results are shown with over twenty different vacuum tube amplifiers from the general system.

The Koenigsegg Agera is one stupendously quick supercar. It can travel from a dead stop to 186 miles per hour and back down to zero in a scant 21.19 seconds. That's not even enough time to sit through a car insurance commercial.
The Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 isn't quite as quick, but it can boast some serious performance chops all its own. The race-ready 911 can hit 62 miles per hour in just 3.6 seconds, and a trip to 120 miles per hour takes only 11.5 seconds.
But while the GT3 RS 4.0 can't quite keep up with the Agera once the rubber starts rolling, this athletic Porsche can stop a bit more quickly. The GT3 RS 4.0 has reportedly beaten the Agera's braking record of 186 mph to zero in 6.66 seconds, and we have the video that proves it. Hit the jump to watch the speedometer plunge from 186 mph to zero in only 6.5 seconds.

By now you have received your 2010 Census form. The League of Women Voters wants to impress upon you a few reasons why Census participation is important for our community:
• Provides $400 billion per year worth of federal funds to communities around the country
• Allocates money toward building up infrastructure, such as new hospitals, roads, tunnels and schools
• Allocates money toward improving public services, such as emergency, job-training and senior centers
• Tells businesses where to invest in local economies
• Provides data to support community initiatives involving environmental legislation, quality-of-life issues and consumer advocacy
The Census is a simple 10-question/10-minute questionnaire. It is printed in six different languages—English, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Russian and Vietnamese. The confidentiality of your information is protected by Federal Laws (Title 13 of the U.S. Code, the Confidential Statistical Efficiency Act and the Privacy Act) so much so that Census workers take an oath of non-disclosure with violations up to $250,000 and/or imprisonment. The information is used only for statistical purposes and will never be released to government agencies or courts.
Why is all this important to Long Island and New York State? After the 2000 Census, our state lost several seats in the U.S. House of Representatives because of low Census returns. And millions of federal dollars that would have come to New York didn't. Please urge everyone you know—family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers – to complete and return their Census form as soon as possible.

Google vs. Yahoo mashups (Download Squad)
Sep 8th 2006 6:49PM Interesting but I have to disagree - for most real world searches I do I use both. It is well known that each of them actually indexes under half the web pages out there and that there is significant difference in what gets indexed. Google seems to rank blogs higher. But bottom line - I find that Yahoo gets better hits for tough searches higher on the list.
Google clearly does better on images. Despite in general preferring Yahoo, I like Google maps a LOT better.
Despite all the Google love out there, the real answer is that they both have a long long long way to go to get better at searches.
Why Don't You Have a Yahoo! ID? (Download Squad)
Aug 7th 2006 2:29PM The rabid boosterism of both Google and Yahoo here is very disturbing to me. I have used just about every service for YEARS. The one common denominator throught that timehas been my Yahoo account because I find it gives me more stuff.
I do not use any of my google accounts for very long because I find them inadequate and simplistic (I find an uncluttered interface just means I have to click about five times to do something I could have done in one click if they exposed the controls).
This is NOT a knock on Google - I realise that my prpeferences are not the same as others. Clearly lots of people DO like the uncluttered interface. I use google search a lot - but NOT exclusively - it is NOT the be all and end all and I am a critical searcher and reader. I use google search, yahoo search, technorati and other search options. I go about five pages deep on most searches (stats are that 90% of users don't go beyond the first page) because the best answers are rarely the first ones on any search.
I get spam on every email service I've ever used. But no more on Yahoo than anywhere else and that's the email I have entered into every site I have registered for for over 8 years now.
So - in terms oif the question - I find my Yahoo ID invaluable. But it isn't the only thing I use and I think anyone who only uses one single service as some people are describing is essentially cutting themslecves of from over half the internet.

South Bend, Ind.-based TRANSPO's Emil "Lucky" Reznik administration, maintenance & operations facility.
In today's transit environment, owner-agencies typically choose one of four contracting models: design-bid-build, design-build, construction manager at risk, or a form of public-private partnership. Each has advantages and disadvantages and most can be customized to fit a particular agency or project's needs; however, it is important to remember that the method chosen will set the tone for the project by establishing the parameters of the owner-agency's relationship with the design team.Selecting a contracting methodDesign-bid-build. In a design-bid-build (D/B/B) model, the owner-agency contracts with an architect to develop a project through the complete design process. The owner then uses that design product to engage a contractor for construction under a separate contract. A D/B/B contract can allow the client more control over a project's design as well as construction cost if a competitive bidding process is utilized. This process is popular with agencies that are in a position to take advantage of the current, favorable competitive bidding environment.
Design-build. The design-build (D/B) process necessitates that the architect and the contractor form one team under one procurement contract to develop both the project's design and construction in tandem. Due to the restrictions of Federal funding, D/B in the transportation realm can be preceded by the development of bridging documents, which provide the D/B teams with a design that is 20% to 30% complete. D/B can offer up-to-the-minute costing information, including increases in material/installation costs that, in turn, enable architects to make appropriate changes to the design without adversely affecting a project's delivery date. D/B contracts may call for an owner's representative to help maintain a horizontal relationship between the owner-agent and the architect, contractor and other project vendors.
At the Denver Central Platte Campus (design-build team: RNL-Pinkard Construction), Michael Sheehan, senior engineer and design-build project manager, was engaged by the City and County of Denver to navigate through Denver's first contractor-led design-build project. According to Sheehan, "because of the critical nature of Central Platte's tight schedule, the design-build delivery method was the city's best option for success. The City and County was impressed with the way a professional and committed team with the right delivery method can streamline the design and construction process."
Construction manager at risk. A construction manager at risk (CM@R) contract can feel similar to D/B but in fact the architect and the contractor are procured under separate contracts. Although CM@R requires that the owner-agency issue and manage two procurement contracts, it also provides the owner with more control over management and decision-making during both the design and construction phases of the project.
Public-private partnership. Finally, public-private-partnership (PPP), a procurement model that has become more prevalent in recent years, requires bidding teams to provide some level of private equity or financing in addition to design and construction services. Although this model is more complicated than traditional procurement methods, it can be effective for a project that is not currently in an agency's capital improvement plan or capital budget.

Little Ráquira horses, bells, vessels, and all the ceramic objects of this town are a reflection of the love of hundreds of working hands.

Ceramic bells from Ráquira /Photograph: Mario Carvajal/
One of the most representative activities of pre-Columbian peoples was the making of pottery. Water, corn , and salt were kept in pots, pitchers, or vessels of several kinds. A variety of pots was used for cooking and fermenting chicha, their corn drink.
From ancient times, clay vessels have been used in the everyday chores of society. However, a certain magical and religious value was conferred to these utensils, since ceramics has been considered the union of the four elements of the universe: water, air, earth, and fire.
The Colombian town that specializes in artisan ceramics is Ráquira, in the Department of Boyacá
Raquirá, a town in the Department of Boyacá, is the Colombian municipality that specializes in artisan pottery. Ráquira means "City of Pots" in the Chibcha language. When the Spanish conquerors arrived there and saw the diversity of ceramic utensils and the great skill of the Indians, they gave it the name of "Village of Pot Makers".
Nowadays, every square meter in Ráquira is covered by pottery made in the traditional way by the hands of experts who take clumps of clay and turn them into pitchers, piggy banks, and all kinds of utensils.
The following types of clay are used in Ráquira: black clay, which contains a considerable percentage of coal; yellow clay; and red clay, which contains iron oxide.

The mining of clay is carried out periodically by men, normally twice a year during the dry seasons; that is, from June to August and from December to February. At other times, the mines are flooded.
Other materials used in pottery making are the following: sand from the region's rivers and streams and mineral coal that comes from the Guachetá mines in the Department of Cundinamarca.
More than 500 families from Ráquira are dedicated to pottery and working with clay and mud.
Today, thanks to the enormous diversity of ceramic handicrafts and a renowned school for artisans, over five hundred families are devoted to working with clay; Ráquira has become the ceramics capital of Colombia.
Besides the traditional folk ceramics, such as human and animal figures, the traditional Ráquira horses, crêches, dolls, and kitchen utensils, the pottery makers design new products that reflect the needs and desires of buyers: flower pots, tea and coffee sets, decorative utensils, for example. Their imagination seems to have no limits.
