I've long been about four feet taller than when my perspective was so close to the ground. The view from down there of things like hydrants and coal chutes and the brass plates embedded in sidewalks by cement companies were one of the best things about being a kid.
I would only live in an old firehouse if it still had the fire pole.
Possibly a Model 1078 (1920s) with two 2.5-inch nozzles and one 4-inch.
A.P. Smith supplied hydrants to major U.S. cities beginning in the early part of the twentieth century, and have been a favorite of dogs since the very beginning.
On the wall to the right:
Here's a fun little article about it's history and current usage (home and studio to artist Craig Kraft) of the building.
And, the fire hydrant still stands:
The fire house - still standing in the Logan Circle area - was the home of the first all-black fire company in Washington DC. Previously known as Engine House No. 7, in 1940 it became known as Engine House No. 4. A more detailed history of the building and the engine company is found here.
But if you'd like to be part of the building's future rather than its past, and have $2.65 million just sitting around, you'll like this real estate listing, complete with photos of how it's been converted into a home and sculptor's studio.

The product is okay. What I don't like is the tube container, which I think can be messy for most of the time. It is also a little over-priced imo. I would not repurchase this again as I prefer the Vasline petroleum jelly much more.

As others have observed, this is 90% Vaseline and performs in a similar manner but at ten times the price! It is at least honest in its description though with the word, 'temporary', because thats all it is.......But yes, it does offer quick results to smooth out cracked lips. But thats about all (and so does vaseline). There are no long term results with this product and I couldnt even say it worked for me overnight. Truly, I put it on last thing and still woke up with cracked lips!
Not the worst product in the world but certainly not worth the money and surrounded by hype in my opinion. As with all Kiehls products, nothing spent on packaging (which is good) but the massive savings Kiehls must make, are not passed onto the consumer -- the psychology of 'if its expensive it must be good' doest always work!

I think this product is definitely better than Vaseline! My lips absorbs this faster and every time my lips crack, I apply this overnight and it immediately heals the next day! I love this so much this is my favorite lip balm especially during office hours where I have to withstand the dry air conditioned environment for really long

I actually got this from during their lip balm giveaway. And WOW! This is definitely a surprise because I didn't expect much from this ever. But my lips are in love with it. Instant results, makes my lips moisturized and plumped. The only thing I don't like is the taste. I'm definitely getting one next time but in a different flavor.

The product itself is great. It has an "oily" smooth feel (but in a good way) that really absorbs into my lips and moiturises them. No matter how chapped my lips are at the end of the day, slathering this on them at night would restore health and suppleness to them once more. Was really impressed tbh! I love the flavours in Mint and Mango they feel really refreshing on my lips. Nt only that, I like to sometimes use this balm as a gloss over top of my lip liner (which tends to be drying on the lips in general). Gives a really nice shine to your lips without being overly thick and a little goes a long way! I do agree with some here that it is a little pricey though the product itself is great. As for packaging, a squeeze tube is great but it still involves me havin to use my fingers to even out the product on my lips. Perhaps a slanted tip might come in handy. But! overall, definitely one of the best lip balms Ive used so far. :)

Pretty greasy. Also, can get really messy if you leave in a hot car or purse. Better to use to moisturize lips at night. Nice light scent.

I have this product in a tub and it was about $20 (AUD) or just under.
I'm not a fan of this product. It did not moisturise my dry lips enough and honestly, when my lips are dry I do prefer something thicker, so that's probably another reason why I didn't like it. It is a light and kind of oily, non-sticky lip balm. I generally don't like sticky lip balm because my hair gets stuck on it so this lip balm gets a few brownie points!
I barely use it now but I keep it in my bad and will apply it when my lips are in good condition, just to prevent them drying out, and I use other lip balms (mentioned in my other reviews) to fix dried, cracked lips.
I wouldn't but it again, especially for the price.

For being around 91% petroleum and $7, I'm not sure how great this product is. I have compared this to using straight up petroleum jelly on my face, and this product is somehow seemingly more moisturizing and applies a lot smoother. This is the greatest for nighttime application for soft lips in the morning and basically what I use it for. It leaves a semi-white cast, so I don't use it much outdoors. I also cheat a little and apply this on dry spots on my skin for extra moisture. This product has been lasting me forever! I'm down to the last few applications and will likely be repurchasing when I have a chance to get my hands on it.

Sleeping with the light on
Started by Unatheowl , Dec 01 2012 08:51 AM
15 replies to this topic
Posted 01 December 2012 - 08:51 AM
Dd has recently gone into her big girl's bed and has started to insist that we leave a small lamp on in her room. It isn't very bright and I have found a very low wattage bulb to put in it but it would be bright enough to say, read by. She insists that it is on all night.
If I turn it off whe she is asleep she wakes up and freaks out and either calls us or turns it back on herself. Her reasons are that she is 'scared'. I'm sure that it is mostly attention based. I actually don't mind if she keeps it on all night, it doesn't bother me however I am concerned about the quality of her sleep. she also tends to wake at 5 am and tik that the nights over. She has a Gro clock which she understands how to read so no excuses about not knowing what time it is.
Is there any reason why I should insist she turn it off? Would it affect sleep quality by essentially sleeping every night withi the light on? Perhaps I'm just looking at it from my point of view and I personally wouldn't be able to sleep. Anyone else have a child that insists on this? Any comments would be appreciated.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 08:58 AM
Our 2 year old was getting up crying without the little night light. We put a little low volt plug in light that is very soft in her power point and had very few issues with waking now. That's just our experience, as an infant/ toddler she didn't require it. Only since being in toddler bed. My rationale is I'd rather her be able to find us in the night if she has too.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 08:59 AM
Is the gro clock on the brightest setting?
Posted 01 December 2012 - 09:00 AM
My 3 kids have all had night lights. The 2 older ones when they were younger I got some coloured light globes red, green or blue and they just set off a nice glow to the room but were not bright in any way. My youngest 2year old has a night light that we got from bunnings and you plug it into the wall and it changes colours, it is his "magic light" as he started waking every night again and driving us insane until we found it. I don't think that there is anything wrong with it. Whatever works for you guys as a family

I did try that, because it is really bright but she doesn't seem to like it??! She insists on the little lamp (curse Myself for showing it to her) which is actually a whiter light. The gro clock is a blue light.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 09:04 AM
Ok thanks for replies. It's just when I check on her it is so bright in there I think surely its affecting the quality of her sleep. We do have small night lights but she doesn't want them. I don't want her lying in the dark freaking out all night and I would rather she can find us/the toilet easier.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 09:14 AM
Both of my girls are terrified of the dark and flatly refuse to sleep without their lamps on.
I don't think it affects their sleep and they don't wake up early from it so it doesn't bother me.
Can you get a lower wattage bulb for your DDs lamp, or a pearl one to make it a softer light?
Posted 01 December 2012 - 09:33 AM
I don't think there is any harm in leaving it on if it means she sleeps better.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 09:45 AM
In terms of circadian rhythm stuff I would be trying for a low orange light. Orange is the opposite of blue, blue equals sky equals day to our primitive brain.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 09:47 AM
My kids don't like sleeping in complete darkness either
We don't close bedroom doors in our house though so i just leave the toilet light turned on all night. I have the toilet door open completely when they are going to sleep but once they are asleep/when I go to bed then I pull the door almost closed so that just a sliver of light comes out. They can still see the light is on, they can push the door open easily without needing to reach the handle (ours are really high, my 4yr old can only just reach them), but the light doesn't keep me or DH awake.
I don't think there's anything wrong with having a small light on at night. I used to hate complete darkness too, it wasn't until I was about 15yrs old that I could be the last person in the house to go to bed, before that I'd "forget" to turn something off just so I didn't have to be in darkness LOL

Ahh, ok thanks. It was this sort of thing I was concerned about. Messing up what her brain was doing whilst sleeping exec.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 08:51 PM
I have two sons - DS5 who is very confident, up for trying new things, doesn't easily get scared, and DS2 who is very wary of new things, scared of lots of things (including Santa and cute little bunny rabbits)... DS2 always wants the light off at night, whereas DS5 has slept with the light on for as long as I can remember... And not just a night light or side light, I mean the main light! Given he's not an anxious child (unlike his sleep-in-the-dark younger brother) it hasn't concerned me, and he has always been a great sleeper - doesn't wake up in the night and doesn't wake up early.
So I really wouldn't worry about it - it certainly hasn't been an issue for us... Except on the odd occasion when they have had to share a room on holiday - but we've managed to find a compromise that suits them both!
Posted 01 December 2012 - 09:04 PM
With Christmas coming up, maybe a glow toy or nightlight from Santa could be the answer?
My older kids now prefer a torch beside their bed, but the toddler has a plug in glowing dinosaur from the supermarket to take the edge off the darkness.
Posted 02 December 2012 - 06:50 AM
Honestly I don't see anything wrong with it & I wouldn't be getting technical about what kind of light either. The one you have already OP sounds fine to me.
At that age DS suddenly became afraid of the dark when we moved house & his new room was at the back of the house whereas his old room was at the front near a streetlight. We allowed him to have the lamp on for more than a year & then he changed rooms near a streetlight again so we told him he didn't need it anymore. They let it go when they are ready to.
Now my DD2 likes to sleep with the lamp on because she feels better when she can see her surroundings. But there are some nights when she won't put it on. I don't mind either way.
Posted 02 December 2012 - 07:00 AM
I was scared of the dark for years, and tbh still don't like sleeping in a pitch black room. But when I was little, my parents left the hall light on for me to go to sleep but would turn it off when he went to bed. I would wake up at some point in the night freaking out, would run down the hall to turn it back on, but because by this stage I was freaked out and found it hard to go back to sleep. I still don't know why it was such a big ask to leave the light on????
So OP, in my experience my quality of sleep was way better when my room was lit all night
Posted 02 December 2012 - 07:06 AM
Ok cool thanks.
Kadoodle, her aunty has bought her a fairy night light for Christmas so we'll give that a go.
Ds falls asleep with the hall light on so I don't mind that. The halal light is not enough for her. Its just that dd insists on such strong light in her room. I really don't mind, I just didn't want to be harming her quality of sleep in any way.
I'll try giving her a torch so that she has some control over the light. Perhaps it will be a novelty?!

Agriculture exporters shouldn't have trouble finding ocean container capacity this year or next, nor will they have any trouble finding buyers. U.S. agriculture exports in fiscal 2013 are expected to hit $142 billion, $6.2 billion more than the year prior, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
"We are expecting a moderate recovery in exports, particularly considering how hard corn was hit last year," USDA Chief Economist Joseph Glauber said.
Rising crop prices have accounted for much of the increase in export value in the last 10 years, but agriculture prices in general have flattened this year as supply expands. That means the USDA's expectations for rising exports by value also should translate to higher volumes needing to be shipped.
The biggest ramp-up in agriculture volume looks to be for corn, exports of which are expected to jump 73 percent to 1.3 billion bushels between early September and the end of August 2014, rebounding from the lowest levels since the early 1970s, Glauber said. Brazil unseated the U.S. as the top corn exporter in the year ending Sept. 30, 2012. But he expects the U.S. to regain its export title because of more moderate Midwest weather and increased yield, even as ethanol production erodes the country's corn export capacity.
Wheat exports are expected to dip 9.8 percent to 925 million bushels, while soybean exports are forecast to expand 7.4 percent to 1.45 billion bushels, according to the USDA's World Agriculture Supply and Estimates report. The growth in soybean demand comes as global protein consumption is expected to rise 2.7 percent in 2013-14, with China driving about a third of the increased consumption.
Read more about the JOC's Top 100 U.S. exporters
The USDA expects beef exports to slip this year and next, despite Japan's recent easing of its import restrictions on the meat. The USDA anticipates pork exports will drop 6.6 percent year-over-year this year, before expanding 4.5 percent in 2014, as more U.S. farmers take to raising pigs and demand increases. Poultry exports, including turkey and broiler meats, likely will stay flat this year and then rise 4.5 percent to 8.5 billion pounds in 2014.
Shippers should have plenty of refrigerated export capacity on container vessels for the foreseeable future as carriers utilize larger ships that used to ply the Asia-Europe trade, said Bob Weiss, independent administrator for the Food Shippers Association of North America. Aside from a largely unsuccessful general rate increase and a dubious congestion surcharge in January, rates have stayed "fairly steady," he said.
Still, demand for refrigerated exports this year isn't expected to be as robust as it was in 2012. Weakened European demand is the main culprit, said Bill Duggan, Maersk Line's vice president of refrigerated services in North America. Exported reefer container volume was flat in 2012, after jumping 13.8 percent between 2011 and 2010, according to PIERS data.
Most of the domestic perishables customers of Choptank Transport, a Preston, Md.-based third-party logistics company, expect moderate growth this year, said Steve Covey, vice president of business development. "A lot of these (food and beverage) companies look to be having a great year," he said.
Behind the scenes, however, more shippers are moving toward the transactional market from fixed contracts, he said. Improved technology, more competition for loads and finicky customer demand makes spot pricing more attractive to small and midsize shippers. Approximately 60 percent of Choptank's shipper customers do business on a transactional basis, while the remaining stick with contracts, a reversal from five years ago. Even produce farmers are increasingly choosing to cut out the middlemen and contract out transportation themselves. "As the size of their operations have grown," Covey said, "they want better margins."

I made this dress to wear to my Father in law's memorial. It kept me busy in the days following his unexpected death. The pattern is Simplicity 2444 and it's made from a cotton sateen. I cut a straight sz 12. It was fairly simple and I was able to make it up in a short period of time. More details and pics at my blog: http://astrangestrangegirl.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-moment-of-silence.html

Camilla Kenyon
|This article is an orphan, as no other articles link to it. Please introduce links to this page from related articles; try the Find link tool for suggestions. (September 2008)
Camilla Kenyon was an American author of two novels and several short works. Her first novel was Spanish Doubloons, originally published in 1919 by Bobbs Merrill, also serialized in Munsey's Magazine and republished in a less-costly hardback edition by the A.L. Burt Company. This lively story of a group of treasure hunters on a Pacific island is told from the first person viewpoint of the heroine. It is widely available today as a free e-book from numerous sites, and it has also been reprinted in a paperback edition.
Her second novel was Fortune At Bandy's Flat, published by Bobbs Merrill in 1921. Again told in the first person, by the eighteen-year-old heroine, this is a story of romance and adventure set in the fictional Sierra mountains hamlet of Bandy's Flat, a community where gold was mined years earlier. This book has also been reprinted and is currently available in paperback.
Camilla Kenyon's first known publication was a 1904 magazine article entitled "A Sierra Summer", which appeared in Out West—A Magazine of the Old Prairie and the New, and was included in a hardbound collection of issues, Volume XXI, July–December 1904. Her next known publication was of a poem, "Departures," which appeared in McClure's magazine in 1910. In the period from April 1917 to November 1918, she published six stories in magazines, as follows: in Munsey's Magazine, March, 1917, her short story "The Second Generation" appeared. In Sunset magazine, April 1917, the short story "Tuesday" was published. In Sunset Magazine, May 1917, her short story "The Runaways" appeared. Her story "Treasure From The Sea" appeared in the October 1917 Sunset magazine. A two-part short story, "Nanny and her Lordship," appeared in the Sunset magazines for September and October, 1918. In November, 1918, her story "The Camofleurs" was published in Sunset Magazine, which during this period was headquartered in San Francisco.
In April 1923, a novella of hers entitled The House In The Hollow was published in Munsey's Magazine. This mystery and romance story is set in the fictional California coastal town of Briones, and is told in the third person.
In addition to the works listed above, a 1933 novel entitled Dark Hollow was published in England by Grayson and Grayson, with the author given as Camilla Kenyon. It has not so far been established whether this later work is by the same Camilla Kenyon who was the author of Spanish Doubloons and Fortune At Bandy's Flat.
No verifiable information on the life of Camilla Kenyon the author is available. (Note that there was an American painter of the same name. She is a different individual). Some websites regarding magazine fiction stories of the early 1900s state that Camilla Kenyon was born in San Francisco in 1876, but there is no factual confirmation currently available for this point.

If you're having a little bit of trouble placing JoJo don't worry, it has been almost six years since the pop singer last released an official album. After first finding mega-success in her early teens with top topping hits like Leave and Too Little Too Late, JoJo's now on a mission to establish herself as an adult artist, and new single Demonstrate should go a long way towards helping her achieve her mission. Fitting considering her cover of Drake's Marvin's Room was a YouTube sensation, Drizzy's resident producer Noah "40" Shebib provides yet another slowly unwinding and ambient beat that the songstress turns into a sultry and smoky bedroom burner with her subtly passionate vocals. If there are any doubters out there I can't think of a better demonstration of the woman's skills than this. While there's still no official word on another album from JoJo, with singles like this one can't be too far on the horizon (we hope).

ACE Fit Share
August 28, 2012
Even though the 2012 Olympic Games in London have come to an end, many of us are still reflecting on all the memorable events that occurred during the two-week competition. Gabby Douglas became America's new sweetheart, Michael Phelps was crowned the most decorated Olympian ever, and athletes from all over the world attributed much of their success to … tape. From volleyball players and divers to track & field stars and cyclists, athletes from nearly all sports were sporting tape in strange places and patterns all over their bodies. Oftentimes, the patterns were so elaborate it was hard to tell if it was actually tape. What was that about anyway?
Rocktape, a type of kinesiology tape (kinesiotape for short) has become a popular fitness product among athletes with muscle pain or those seeking to improve their athletic performance.
What is it?
Rocktape is a thin, stretchy hi-tech athletic tape used to treat sports injuries such as shin splints, IT band, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon, runner¹s knee and a host of other ailments. The founder and President of Rocktape, Greg Van den Dries, came up with the idea for the product after suffering from a competitive cycling injury 3 years prior. At the time of his injury, he was treated with a similar type of kinesiotape. When it wouldn't stick, his frustration inspired him to create a better product. It soared in popularity, and today, Van den Dries' enterprise has successfully penetrated the market 13 different countries. Rocktape is "stretchier, stickier, cheaper and cooler" than other kinesiotapes, he said, and its the only one of its kind that promotes improved athletic performance.
How does it work?
"RockTape is good as a brace, supporting joints and muscles that have been compromised, and great for edema, or swelling, lifting skin away from soft tissue and accelerating blood flow into injured areas. When applying RockTape, swelling can be reduced by as much as 50% overnight," Van den Dries said. Bringing blood flow to the surface and creating muscle stability has been known to enhance performance and delay fatigue in athletes, which explains the following by Olympic athletes. Gold medalist Justin Gatlin, who won the men's 100-meter sprint, and Nick McCrory, a bronze medalist in men's 10-meter diving, were just two of the athletes that used Rocktape. Whether the product actually played a role in their performance is still unknown and will require more in-depth research, but as Van den Dries points out, "as an athlete, you don't care whether or not it's a placebo as long as you're getting across the finish line faster when you wear the tape."
What does ACE have to say?
Given the enormous exposure due to the recent Olympics and growing popularity of kinesiotaping among many physically active individuals from recreational to elite levels, additional placebo-controlled studies are warranted. At best, kinesiotaping may prove to be a truly effective tool for managing the pain associated with a variety of sports injuries and, consequently, improving athletic performance. At worse, it might simply be a placebo and another example of the power of the mind.

I asked a group of fathers to share the stories of their paternity leaves (or lack thereof). A few had very supportive employers with generous policies, some had nightmare situations that led to them find employment elsewhere, and most were unsupported and left to rely on their accumulated time off.
It would be impossible to have displayed more of a tin ear than Francesa did with his repeated calls for the good old days when men's role was to hand out cigars and get back to the office. It seemed that every father that called in to his show to offer a different perspective only sent Francesa further into his downward spiral.

May be for the simple reason that it's not their cup of tea.....

Yea your right some of the best anime out there is violent and there missing it. Anime is fake so why worry about to much
I sEe YoU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well...some people just cant stand to see....bloody animes like that. Maybe its because they just cant stand to see the sight of blood..whether its real or not(I dont know if this might be the case, im just saying). For example, Elfen Lied. Thats the bloodiest anime ive ever seen im my life, but it was good
Im just an unnoticeble dude.....hug me
the same reason there's groups of people who don't eat beef or pork it's simply cause they don't like it..myself anime is anime but i draw the line where it's bloody and gore and the heniti 18+ stuff. Why do people watch adult anime instead of just regular porn?
man i've seen that anime...that's some wicked gore stuff..i like that

The reason people will not watch bloody anime is that the genral viewers are mostly young in not they are young at heart. The issue is either the veiwer is young and the sight of blood scares them or people rather watch a simple romance or adventurious anime that is more enjoyable and less violent.

Super Bowl Champ Qadry Ismail Marvels At Awesome Power Of The Mancathlete
We drove through New Jersey as fast as the law would allow just to be safe. You can't be too careful. Then we pulled into Wegman's parking lot in Abingdon, MD to prepare for our interview with Super Bowl XXXV Champion and Ravens analyst, Qadry "The Missle" Ismail.
Once into the lot, our seasoned tailgate team burst into action and turned the parking spaces next to our RV into a tailgate scene worthy of any concert or game.
We fired up the Samuel Adams charcoal grill and Kerry cooked his soon-to-be-world-famous Baltimore shrimp.
It's so easy to refrigerate foods and carry cooking and grilling accessories in the RV.
Kerry and I have travelled all over the Eastern half of the country and the only way to get there is in an RV.
We've never partied in a supermarket parking lot before, but the party is wherever you are when you have everything you need with you.
So Qadry shows up and I'll just put this out there right off the bat, this guy is out of this world cool. From the minute he got out of his car he was so friendly and engaging it was ridiculous.
We shoot our interview with him and we're all getting along famously so we decide Qadry is the perfect guy to judge the next event in our Mancathalon. No one else could be worthy to judge our competition. Only one who makes sacrifices to be the best can understand what's inside a Mancathelete.
The 2nd event in the first ever Epic Mancathalon is the grueling 10 yard dash. Congratulations to Billy Enright for taking home 1st place. Frankie C. comes home with the silver and Kerry with the bronze. It was awful tough to hear New Jersey's state anthem during the ceremony. You Give Love a Bad Name is a good song, but it's no Dirty Water.
I was considering skewering Kerry's mancatheletic prowess, but we both lost decisively to Billy, who I assume got so fast running for his life in the heart of Jersey. That was survival instinct speed. Hell, he could be half gazelle. You know how Jersey is.
Qadry is the man. He narrates the video of the challenge and interviews the Mancatheles at the end. He was a class act and he had a great sense of humor. We'll be posting that video soon, so keep an eye out for it.
We had a brief technical snafu over last evening and night so this blog is a bit late, Folks. There's more good stuff to come today with several Manly Endeavors planned to test the mettle of these already legendary original Mancatheletes.

Individualized Instruction Is the Way Forward for Schools
To the Editor:
The retention problem ("Data Show Retention Disparities," March 7, 2012) has its origins in the development of the age-grading system, which began in the late 1830s to cope with the rising population of immigrant children.
Schools were organized by age-based grades, and promotion from grade to grade was contingent on external examinations. These proved unreliable by 1900, and schools later began to use achievement-test scores to rationalize promotion decisions. Educators of the early 20th century discussed the "overage" problem because between 20 percent and 50 percent of all American children were two or more years behind age in grade placement. Many were immigrant children with poor English-language skills. Research has shown that leaving children back did no good, and often did actual harm.
The early-20th-century development of achievement tests with age norms and measurement in terms of years and months of achievement simply reified the concept of 3rd grade, or 5th grade, "achievement." Reporting test scores in years and months of progress was a marketing coup by test publishers. The scores mean nothing more than a specified number of right answers on a certain test. Criterion-referenced testing does not change the issue. Age-grading is not God-given.
The age-grading system is wrong in its assumption that all children must learn at exactly the same rate. We are on the verge of a technological revolution. We can solve the 150-year-old retention problem by unburdening ourselves of age grading and by truly individualizing instruction.
With the guidance of a teacher, we can enable children to progress at individual rates, thus avoiding the shame, the assault to self-esteem, the stigma, and the risk of dropping out attendant upon being publicly left back.

Can someone let me in on the source of this? Is it anecdotal (i.e. there was one Brazilian player who said this and someone posted screens and it became famous) or is there really a ubiquitous perception among Brazilian players that Morde is OP? Or is it a fiction that is used to demonstrate the supposed lack of skill of Brazilian players with no basis in fact?
hue hue hue hue
Colonel J
The latter.
There you go.
Edit: and then the related link stating how it started:

No Brazilian ever said it because Brazilians speak Portugese.

MSC fights back against ASMI, media
By SeafoodSource staff
Published on 26 September, 2013
The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) issued a five-page statement today, lashing out at its critics, including the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute (ASMI) and some of the seafood industry media, for what it called "negative and inaccurate statements."
The MSC has been at odds with ASMI for years, but the statement comes on the heels of a 24 September hearing by the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Oceans, Atmosphere, Fisheries and Coast Guard that examined the need for third-party certification programs like the MSC's.
In the statement, described as an "open letter and fact sheet," Kerry Coughlin, regional director for the Americas for the MSC, described the hearing as a "particularly egregious example of biased and inaccurate discussion," and blasted the committee's chair, Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska, for keeping the MSC out of the hearing.
"With due respect to Chairman Begich, exclusion from the hearing of the MSC, the world's leading seafood sustainability certification program and a main subject of the hearing, suggests the purpose of the hearing was not to gather informative testimony on the subject but to posit a particular position based on misinformation," Coughlin wrote.
Coughlin also challenged Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, who also made headlines this week in her criticism of the involvement of third-party certification programs in government activities. On 24 September, Murkowski praised a decision by the U.S. General Services Administration to confirm it will not let third-party groups such as NGOs influence its definition of sustainable seafood. The senator has also proposed legislation that would further prohibit federal agencies from using third-party certification programs.
Coughlin blasted Murkowski's assertions that the MSC is "meddling" in fisheries management or is too expensive for fisheries to afford applying for certification, and noted that "the Governor and U.S. Senators from Alaska have never contacted the MSC to obtain information from us on our program."
Coughlin also responded to Murkowski's assertion that the MSC is a foreign entity forcing its will upon a domestic industry, saying, "MSC isn't 'foreign,' Senator Murkowski; it's global. And Alaska and its thriving fishing economy and jobs are fully part of and dependent on that global industry."
Coughlin also criticized the Responsible Fisheries Management (RFM) program. Based on U.N. FAO standards, the program has been touted by ASMI as a viable alternative to MSC certification, but Coughlin accused ASMI of spending more than USD 7 million "of industry and taxpayer money" on developing and promoting the program. She also cited a report by the Environmental Law Institute that described the RFM program as "industry developed and controlled."
Coughlin insisted the MSC wants to work with Alaska to showcase its sustainability.
"This isn't about Alaska feeling it doesn't need to prove its sustainability to anyone as Senator Murkowski has suggested," she wrote. "Instead Alaska and the U. S. have an opportunity to continue to be leaders among world fisheries by demonstrating we as a nation meet the world's leading standard for sustainability and would expect other fisheries worldwide to do the same."

Discover patient access trends and learn how other PATIENT ACCESS LEADERS are dealing with current issues. Take the survey and receive a FREE results report.
Most hospitals are not getting the return on investment they should from their eligibility verification solution. Click here to find out why.
Creating a first class pre-registration operation is essential to reducing denials, maximizing pre-service collections, and improving patient experience.
Click now to download a one page summary that includes pre-registration "gotchas" and the steps needed to optimize revenue through pre-registration.
There is no greater opportunity to optimize the revenue cycle than prior to service. Once service is complete, if authorizations and/or ABN haven't been obtained, patient liability hasn't been estimated and communicated, and appropriate payment hasn't been collected, the patient experience will be subpar and the chance of the hospital obtaining optimal revenue from that service is greatly diminished.
Empowered with AccuReg solutions, patient access teams drive revenue cycle results. AccuReg automates major registration tasks and guides registrars in how much to collect from patients, what discounts or plans to offer, and how to resolve any issues that will result in denials. AccuReg is built to drive and enforce the behaviors and actions in patient access that lead to higher pre-service collections, lower bad debt, fewer denials, and a better patient experience.

I've always been a huge advocate of meal planning and freezer cooking. One of the easiest ways to save money is to plan ahead. No drive through runs at 5pm or last minute trips to the grocery store. If you know what you're meals will be in advance and better yet, have some meals already prepared in the freezer; you can save a ton of money and time.
That's where Pampered Chef Freezer Meal Workshops can come in handy. Feed your family for around $3 per serving (or less if you're a coupon user!)
How it works:
- Pre-order The Pampered Chef Pantry items you'll need
- Bring along the groceries from a provided list
- Socialize with friends while assembling your meals
The menu from my workshop included:
- French Dip Sandwiches
- Beef Gyros
- Asian Short Ribs
- Savory Beef Vegetable Soup
- Greek Chicken
- Chicken de Provence
- Lemon Chicken
- BBQ Pulled Chicken
- Savory Pork Chops
- Cheesy Ham & Potato Soup
In 2 hours or less, you can have 10 meals in your freezer!
We went out of town the day after my workshop, so we've only had the French Dip Sandwiches and Savory Pork Chops. The Lemon Chicken is in my crockpot right now! My favorite thing is that I can pull the frozen meal out of my freezer and dump it straight into my crockpot. It takes me about a minute to get dinner started. Add a side and dinner is done!
I was initially a bit concerned about the cost. I usually plan meals based on what is already in my pantry to save money. However, most of the grocery items will likely be in your panty or you can watch for sales leading up to your workshop. I already had most of the canned items on hand, so I didn't have to purchase everything on the list.
You do need to purchase the Pampered Chef seasonings, but a list of other recipe ideas is provided to use your remaining spices. Past hosts can save an additional 10% too
Hampton Roads locals can contact Tiffany to attend a workshop. You can attend one of her scheduled workshops or host your own. This is also a good idea for providing a Mom-to-be with meals. Each member gives up a meal to the new Mom to stock her freezer!

Total workout time was only about 35 minutes with a large portion of that dedicated to mobility. I did a brutal, for getting back into powerlifting , squat workout so my hips needed the blood flow.
Yesterday's Squat Workout:
In retrospect I should have added some extra posterior chain work to the squat workout but I was pretty gassed as I currently have zero efficiency and co-ordination in the squat. My body is not working in unison and I can feel each muscle group contract by itself attempting to lift the weight. It is pretty funny to me as I used to be quit smooth in the back squat and now I suck!
