South African Olympian athlete Oscar Pistorius was sentenced to five years in prison on Tuesday for unintentionally killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in an incident on Valentine's Day 2013. The Paralympic sprinter, who in September was cleared of murder charges, was also handed a three-year suspended sentence for a firearms charge.
"It would be a sad day for this country if an impression were created that there is one law for the poor and disadvantaged, and one law for the rich and famous," Judge Thokozile Masipa said as she read out her decision. She added that it was difficult to arrive to a decision that was "fair and just to society and to the accused."
The 27-year-old athlete wiped his eyes as he listened to his sentencing, before being led to the holding cells beneath the High Court in Pretoria, Reuters reported. more >>
Two Christian pastors and a deacon have each been given six-year sentences by an Iranian court. A persecution watchdog group has expressed concern over the development, noting that the prisons are isolated and will force the men's families to travel great distances to see them.
"We are deeply concerned by the six-year sentences given to pastors [Benham] Irani and [Matthias] Haghnejad and deacon Silas Rabbani, and the fact that they will serve these sentences so far from their families and home towns," said Christian Solidarity Worldwide Chief Operating Officer Andy Dipper.
"We are particularly appalled by the extra six years given to pastor Irani, who has already endured ill-treatment whilst in prison and now faces nearly a decade in prison on trumped-up charges. We urge the Iranian government to release without delay every person who is imprisoned for their faith. Their incarceration contravenes international covenants guaranteeing freedom of religion or belief, to which Iran is party." more >>
Washington state's I-594 has massive money pouring into it, because it's apparently the only gun-control measure on the ballot this fall anywhere across the country. There are actually two dueling gun measures in the state. The first one, I-594, the Washington Universal Background Checks for Gun Purchases Initiative, is being bankrolled by billionaires on the left in favor of gun control, including anti-gun activist and former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, as well as former wealthy Microsoft execs Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer. Thanks to them, the Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility has raised nearly $9 million for the initiative this far, massively outspending the other side, which has raised only $1.3 million.
I-594 has been cleverly drafted to sound like it merely makes small changes to gun laws, not a flat-out ban or gun registration scheme. This is why it is so dangerous. People are less likely to oppose it; in fact, polls show that even a majority of gun owners - 54 percent of the 35 percent of Washington residents who own a gun - are in favor of it.
The reality is, the bizarrely-long 18 ½ page initiative is so confusingly and vaguely worded - with many terms and phrases left undefined - that former Washington State Supreme Court Justice Richard Sanders warned protesters at a rally against I-594 how impossible it will be to comply with. Gun owners will easily make honest mistakes, making it easy to prosecute them. Many will just give up trying to own a gun. more >>
Feeling confused about the Houston sermon subpoena scandal? Here are answers to five questions you may have.
Q: What happened?
A: In May, Houston city government passed the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance (HERO) to ban discrimination based upon sexual orientation or gender identity. After passage, opponents began collecting signatures to add a ballot measure to repeal the new law. more >>
Mayor Annise Parker and City Attorney Feldman, you have gone too far, and your bullying will backfire. The pastors of Houston, joined by Christian leaders across the country, will not be intimidated and they will not back down.
Earlier this week, Americans were outraged and shocked to learn that the city of Houston issued subpoenas to several local pastors, demanding to inspect their sermons, speeches, presentations, and communications to their congregations having anything to do with homosexuality or gender identity.
Immediately, the Alliance Defending Freedom called this a "witch hunt" and "inquisition," and then Senator Ted Cruz branded your actions "both shocking and shameful." more >>
Stop bullying people of faith. That's the bottom line of a harshly worded letter written by Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott to Houston City Attorney David Feldman.
Feldman's office sent subpoenas to five Houston pastors last month demanding that they turn over any sermons dealing with homosexuality and gender identity issues. They also wanted sermons or correspondence that referenced Annise Parker, the city's first openly lesbian mayor.
The subpoenas were issued in a response to a lawsuit related to Houston Equal Rights Ordinance (HERO), also known as the "Bathroom Bill." more >>

Ozone Applications in Dentistry
Ozone not only has several applications in the industry sector, but it has interesting applications in the world of dentistry as well. Ozone dental therapy is an alternative therapy to conventional drilling and filling for non cavitated deciduous carious lesion. The infusion of Ozone into non-carious dentin prevented biofilm formation in vitro from S.mutans and Lactobacillus acidophilus over a 4 week period. Some studies have demonstrated that 40 second application of Ozone is sufficient to kill different concentrations of S.mutans and application of 60 second has almost completely eliminated S.mutans, L.casei and A.naeslundii. Ozone is also found to be effective against the microflora associated with primary root caries lesions [1].
Ozone can be used to help treat periodontal disease by using ozonated water flushed below the gum line and/or ozone gas infiltrated into the gum tissue and supporting tissues. Ozone can be employed in all forms during root canal treatment to kill bacteria, sterilize the canal system, and to stimulate faster healing. As a gas, ozone can get to places traditional liquids can't because the gas can permeate the tiny tubules that cannot otherwise be accessed.
Ozone can be used to kill decay-causing bacteria. Since ozone is a gas, it can permeate into areas below the gum line, into the grooves of teeth and over the smooth surfaces of the teeth, and will kill bacteria on contact. Because ozone can harden compromised tooth structure, flooding a sensitive area or tooth with ozone gas can effectively eliminate sensitivity.

text: Using your website to raise funds Aim: With over 1.5 billion people regularly accessing the internet globally, making the most of your website is more important than ever. This guide has been produced to offer some tips and advice about how to use your website as an effective addition to your fundraising strategy. www.wspa-international.org Using your website to effectively raise funds Your website presents your organisation to a wide and diverse audience. Use this opportunity to excite, inspire and motivate the reader. Don't think of your website as a dumping ground for all your organisational information think about it as a potential tool to attract supporters to your cause, and enable the wide community of web users and browsers to help you to achieve your goals. Before updating your website fundraising messages or hiring volunteers and web experts to develop your site, be clear about what you are hoping to achieve, and how you are going to do this. Think about who your website is for, why anyone will want to visit it, what information will they want and what do you want from this site. Do your research Start by looking at other websites. Not just the big INGOs you know, but other local and national NGOs and other animal welfare or conservation organisations in your region and globally. Start thinking about what you like about these websites, and where you think they are successful in getting their messages across and asking for support. Now think about your website As you do your research, start thinking about what you want from your own website. What do you want to communicate to the reader and what do you want to achieve from these pages. Most importantly, start thinking about what you specifically need funds for and how you will communicate this need. The design This is your opportunity to reach large numbers of people with very little effort. Make the most of it! ■ Keep the site simple, do not use lots of flashing and chaotic images or fonts, try not to overwhelm people. ■ Think carefully about the font you use and the colour schemes. These should reflect and complement your logo and images you already use in your communications. ■ Remember your brand. Think about how people think about you, both internally and externally. As an organisation you [should] have decided, based on your vision and values, how you would like to be perceived, for example; kind, effective, caring, professional, credible, rational, brave, bold, pioneering? Use these values to determine how you phrase your communications, what key messages you employ, and even how you engage with supporters. ■ Think about the photos and images you use. Don't use too many, and make sure that, as with your leaflets and flyers, the photos tell a story and illustrate your work. ■ The photos, pictures and images you use to represent your organisation can have a lot more impact then you may realise. This is especially true as your fundraising activities increase and your organisation becomes better known. ■ Use your brand to determine what kind of images you will use, but also bear in mind that as an animal welfare organisation, you will regularly come across shocking stories of cruelty. How you represent these cases to your funders is important for how your organisation will be perceived by donors generally. ■ Presenting the full and shocking images could lead to people responding to the shock and not the message, you could also alienate potential donors, who will be upset and not inspired by these shock tactics. However employing only soft, cuddly images of animals is not necessarily realistic or effective either. ■ You should also be realistic about what is happening. Your images should represent the true situation. You also need to decide what you actually want to achieve with the image. Do you want people talking or long term donors? ■ The image needs to demonstrate the need, and tie in with the specific ask you are making. Do not make the situation seem hopeless, nor make it seem that everything is under control or underplay the situation. ■ In order to decide how you will represent your organisation through your images, think of your brand and be consistent. ■ Above all make the site easy to read and navigate. The content ■ Share your inspiring vision. Make it easy for readers to understand why you exist. ■ Clearly communicate your need. Your audience need to grasp what the problem is. ■ Use compelling stories about your work and case studies to show the reader how you aim to achieve your vision and so they can see the impact that your work is having. ■ Generally, avoid putting internal presentations and documents on the website. If readers are interested in finding out more use a Frequently Asked Questions page or attach PDFs. Do not overload the reader with too much information. ■ Don't lose the personal contact altogether. Put staff and volunteer photos up on the website and introduce yourselves to readers. Make it easy for people to get in touch with you with any concerns or questions they might have. Include email addresses as well as phone numbers. ■ The average person spends about 45 seconds on each web page in their 25 hours a month of browsing. So you do not have long to make an impact, but you can do it! Now 'the ask' You may not have long to inspire someone enough to reach for their wallet but a "donate now" button is not enough. You should use your entire website to connect with the reader (and potential donor). Show them in various ways how a donation from them will make a different to the animals you help. However they found your website, they are reading it because they are interested in what you are saying, don't waste this opportunity by forgetting to involve them, and show them how they can be an important part of your work. Spell out to the reader how much they should donate and what kind of impact they could have. Use images that show your work and the impact your work has to back up these amounts. 3 Give your potential supporters options; promote your membership scheme or any fundraising activities or events you are organising, advertise your merchandise or underline any other ways that the reader can financially support your organisation If there are other ways the reader could help then outline the options here - perhaps you have a volunteer scheme or need expertise in specific areas or need gifts in kind. CLEARLY SHOW THE READER HOW THEY CAN HELP YOU TO ADDRESS YOUR ORGANISATIONS NEED Give them examples Show stories of real donors, and how their donations have had an impact, include testimonials, of why people have helped and what they got out of it. Don't forget to say thank you… to those thinking about making a donation, those clicking through to the donation pages and of course those who have already donated. Should you be in any doubt of the effectiveness of the web to raise funds then consider that in February last year, Barack Obama's campaign raised $55 million - $45 million of this was raised over the internet. "The money just came rolling in" (The Atlantic, 'The amazing money machine' June 2008, Joshua Green) Update the site Keep your website up to date; refresh your activities, and your fundraising messages. Change your work case studies every month or two. An easy way to refresh a website without changing everything is to provide a feature area on the home page for a short article and photo of something new at your organisation. A preview of an upcoming event; an update of a fundraising campaign; a heart warming story of a client helped; a profile of a long-time donor. These can all be slotted in at regular intervals while the bulk of your site stays basically the same. There is no point putting time and money into developing and updating your website or fundraising pages if you are not promoting your site. Use your web address on all your communications, in any interviews you give or on any merchandise you produce. Your checklist ■ Nicely presented, welcoming page ■ Clear outline of the need and your solution ■ Varied options of how the reader can donate (and contribute to the solution) ■ EASY OPTIONS FOR THE READER TO DONATE ■ A suggestion of the amounts the reader should give ■ An indication of how the supporters donation will help ■ A thank you 4

Colts' lose safety Bullitt for rest of season
The Indianapolis Colts' already beleaguered defense took another hit Tuesday.
Team officials announced that safety Melvin Bullitt, Bob Sanders' replacement, will miss the rest of the season with a right shoulder injury. It's not what the Colts needed after giving up 31 points and 174 yards rushing at Jacksonville.
But it is life in the NFL.
''There's obviously, a lot of work to do on that side of the ball and we've got to get that straightened away,'' Colts President Bill Polian said on his weekly radio show Monday night. ''We've got good players there, but they're not playing well right now.''
And now the Colts (2-2) will be short-handed, too.
Bullitt's injury status was first reported by ESPN.com. Players and coaches were not available for comment Tuesday, their regular day off.
He is scheduled to have surgery on the injured shoulder and will be placed on injured reserve.
The former undrafted free agent had started 24 of Indy's past 36 regular-season games, mostly in place of the oft-injured Sanders, and had become one of Indy's most consistent tacklers. So when Sanders went down in the season opener with a torn biceps muscle in his right arm, most figured the Colts' wouldn't lose much by putting Bullitt in the lineup.
He was seventh on the team this season with 13 tackles and had one of the Colts' three interceptions.
Now, with Bullitt out for the season and Sanders expected to miss at least two more months, the Colts' already-thin secondary is in dire need of help.
Veteran Jamie Silva, normally the next in line, went down with a season-ending torn ACL during the preseason, and the Colts started the season with only three safeties on the roster - Sanders, Bullitt and two-time Pro Bowler Antoine Bethea.
Now they only have one of those three - Bethea - available.
Bullitt hurt his shoulder twice Sunday, the second time coming midway through the third quarter. He had already put a hefty brace on the shoulder after getting injured in the first half, the same brace he wore most of last season.
When Bullitt left, recently signed DaJuan Morgan took his place.
Morgan has solid credentials, a third-round pick by Kansas City in 2008 who was signed Sept. 15. This weekend, the former Chief will likely get a chance to start against his former team as the NFL's last unbeaten team visits Lucas Oil Stadium.
Indy also activated undrafted rookie Mike Newton, a safety, from the practice squad and re-signed veteran safety Aaron Francisco, who played with the AFC champion Colts last season after spending 2008 with the NFC champion Cardinals.
The rash of injuries has hit the Indy defense hard.
Besides Sanders and Bullitt, starting linebacker Clint Session missed two games with a hamstring injury before he returned against the Jaguars. His backup, Kavell Conner, had surgery to repair a fractured left foot last week and has already been ruled out of this week's game. Another backup linebacker, Ramon Humber, was put on the waived-injured list after fracturing his right hand two weeks ago, and the Colts lost six defensive backs to season-ending injuries during training camp.
Plus, they have to fix a defense that has struggled to pressure quarterbacks the past two weeks and is allowing nearly 150 yards per game, 29th in the NFL.
''The way to develop consistency, and I'm going to paraphrase the great John Wooden here, but the best way to help the team is to improve yourself,'' Polian said. ''So everybody on the team has to do the best they can do. If everybody concentrates the best they can do, if everybody goes out and does the best they can every week, things will work out.''
But it's not just the defense taking hits.
Receiver Anthony Gonzalez is set to miss his fourth straight game this weekend against the Chiefs, and rookie kick returner Devin Moore will be placed on injured reserve with nerve damage in the neck or shoulder area.
Indy also released defensive tackle Mitch King from the active roster and receiver Alric Arnett from the practice squad, and signed receiver Kenneth Moore.

Cleveland Orchestra Musician Wows Students During Visit
On Friday, May 27, instrumental music students were treated to a master class session with Mr. Jorg Widmann, a visiting composer at The Cleveland Orchestra. Mr. Widmann is currently working with the Orchestra and just premièred a Concerto for Flute featuring the orchestras first-chair flutist. He lives and works in Munich and Freiburg. The students were mesmerized by Mr. Widmann's discussion of how he composed the concerto and the thought process behind the art of musical composition.
Mr. Widmann also demonstrated the subtle use of altered tonality specifically with the compositions of Mozart. He then entertained and thrilled students with a demonstration on the clarinet, performing a fantasia that he had written and showing the unusual sounds that he had incorporated into his music. "The master class was very inspirational! The way he played the clarinet for his own piece was beautiful," said Devanne Hargis '13. "He played the clarinet in so many different ways!"
Said Kaleigh Tuck-Macalla '13, "He caught our attention and was really passionate about being a musician and composer. His music wasn't traditional even though he used traditional instruments. I loved his performance! It was raw and easy-going at the same time."
Lisa Marie Judge, Manager of School and Community Partnerships with The Cleveland Orchestra, accompanied Mr. Widmann on the visit. "We had a great time at Saint Joseph Academy last week and really appreciate the coordination that you accomplished during a busy day to make the visit a success. Jorg commented on the drive back to Severance Hall about what fun he had with your students."
The upcoming calendar is currently empty.

Once upon a time the learner motorcycle world was only filled with two-strokes. And once your eyes had stopped running the only quality trailie was Yamaha's DT125. And it was madly expensive. Nowadays the place is full of four-stroke cheapies like Yamaha's XT125R and we should be grateful. But we're not because de-restricting two-stroke learners was a piece of cake ...
124cc, 12bhp, 65mph, Insurance group 4
The Suzuki DR125SE, is a straightforward but attractively styled four-stroke learner trailie that was only available for a limited period, so rare now. Earlier twin-headlamp "Raider' was more common, but most are by now unserviceable. A good Suzuki DR125SE is a valid alternative to an XT125 or the like.
659cc, 50bhp, 100mph, Insurance group 9
The MZ Baghira is a great bike for taking you to work or throwing you around mountainsides at weekends, the Baghira's a torquey little beast with brilliant, light handling. Cornering's hilarious. In town, that towering seat comes in handy. Quirky looks and a good price should make it real competition against its rivals
398cc, 39bhp, 94mph, Insurance group 9
Brilliantly competent dual-purpose motorcycle that's as happy pottering through the gridlock as it is bouncing over a paddock. The DR-Z400S is tough, durable, simple to service and spares are cheap and plentiful. The Suzuki DR-Z'400S' bit heavy for true off-roading but greenlaners love it for its indefatigable charm.
651cc, 42bhp, 94mph, Insurance group 8
There's nothing quite so surprising as something utterly unremarkable. And so it is with the Kawasaki KLR650 – it's comfortable, grunty, quiet and reliable. Forget your fancy-pants BMW R1200GS' - providing you can live with adjusting and lubing a chain the Kawasaki KLR650 is at least as good at overlanding and a mere fraction of the price.
124cc, 12bhp, 71mph, Insurance group 5
That the Kawasaki KMX125 is one of the most stolen motorcycles in Britain should tell you all there is to know about it. The Kawasaki KMX125 is tough, cheap to run and cheap to fix and very capable off-road (handy when doing a runner from the law). Spares are plentiful and de-restricted versions can twist a dyno to a heady ...

The CCM 644E Trail is a versatile Suzuki-powered single-cylinder thumper can turn from greenlaning motorcycle to supermoto motorcycle in just 15 minutes thanks to a simple swap of wheels. It's loud, tough, cheap secondhand and great fun providing you steer clear of long straights and pillions.
124cc, 33bhp, 90mph, Insurance group 8
The Aprilia MX 125 is just amazing fun - once de-restricted of course - with a rev-happy two-stroke engine taken from the race-bred Aprilia RS125 and an excellent Supermoto style chassis. The Aprilia MX125 has real class, looks and feels like a proper grown up motorcycle, but question marks over reliability, high initial price and insurance make this an expensive ...

The Honda XR125L is not a 'true' XR (just check out the electric start and the large tank range) maybe, but this is a great little commuter and green-laner. It lacks power up top but there's more than enough for town riding and a spot of weekend fun off-road. It looks absolutely gorgeous, too.

Neighborhoods and Streets and Backstreets and Byways
There are two neighborhoods in Salvador that just about every visitor gets to know. One is Pelourinho (Pillory), which has its own "chapter" in the "Table of Contents", and the other is Barra (Bar, as in reef, and pronounced "BA-ha"), which has a number of hotels and the two beaches closest to the city center (with the exception of some very small beaches frequented only by very local people).
There is, of course, a lot more to Salvador than this, including:
Ladeira de Conceição -- A ladeira is a sloping street, and the Ladeira de Conceição slopes down from the Praça Castro Alves (named for poet Antônio Frederico de Castro Alves) to the Igreja da Conceição in the lower city. The street is lined with workshops, metalworking and stonecutting, set into arches under the Ladeira da Montanha, which runs above, and brothels.
View from the entrance to Salvador's best-known brothel, Marinalva's (is there a bordello anywhere in the world that can beat this?)
Creative housing then, workshops now.
Twenty-three of these arches were built, completed in 1879, in order to support the Rua da Montanha, now called the Ladeira da Montanha, a more gently inclined communication between the upper and lower cities. The Ladeira da Montanha became well-known for the meretricious establishments which grew up along its 894 meters.
Rua Manoel Vitorino, just off of the Ladeira da Conceição
The Igreja da Nossa Senhora da Conceição da Praia, from which the ladeira derives its name.
Solar do Unhão -- A solar is a manor house, and there certainly aren't any of those in the vizinhança (neighborhood) of Solar do Unhão, the area being named for the Solar do Unhão proper, itself named for one of the early (1692 and thereabouts) owners (Pedro de Unhão Castelo Branco, who held the post of provedor-mor dos defuntos, responsible for looking after the finances of the dead with the idea that the Portuguese Crown would be sure to get what was "theirs"). In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries the house served as the locale for a series of factories (including the manufacture of snuff) and then warehousing (reasons for which the original interiors are completely gone), and in the sixties the buildings were refurbished by the Bahian state government. Nowadays the Solar houses Salvador's Museu de Arte Moderna (MAM), and the grounds are the location of Saturday nights' Jam no Mam, a big jazz jam session which brings in hundreds of people (from 6 to 9 p.m.).
The vizinhança of Solar do Unhão
The Solar do Unhão proper
The igreja of Nossa Senhora da Conceição (another one) on the grounds of the Solar do Unhão, raised in 1757. The oratório to the left is dedicated to Santa Luzia.
Dois de Julho (2nd of July) -- is the area around Largo (Place) Dois de Julho, close to the city center. This is where Dona Flor's first husband Vadinho died dancing samba during Carnival, and one of the streets in this area -- Rua do Sodré ("Sodré" is a Portugese surname) -- is where Dona Flor lived with both her first and second husbands and where she had her cooking school. The junction of Rua Carlos Gomes and Rua do Cabeça (which is one of the access streets to Dois de Julho; "Rua do Cabeça" is "Street of the Head, or Head Street", which in this sense -- given the masculine "do" rather than the feminine "da" -- denotes the head of something as opposed to a head unattached) was the fictional location of Dona Flor's second husband's pharmacy. That pharmacy -- like so much local color in Jorge Amado's fiction -- was based on an actually existing pharmacy (Amado locating his fictional establishment upon the site of the real one -- Pharmácia Luz -- which is now a pastel shop).
Jorge Amado's fictional cuckolded (by a spirit) pharmacist was a "part-owner" here decades ago.
During the time in which Amado's novel was set (early 1940's I believe) the area was, as described by Amado himself in the novel, lower middle-class, and for the most part it continues to be so today. At the top of Rua do Sodré* -- which leads from Dois de Julho down to the Museu de Arte Sacre (Musem of Sacred Art, in the church of Santa Tereza) -- are several small and very typically Bahian bars, one of which serves infusões and where my friends and I like to sit and observe the local life. As sunset approaches this area becomes very questionable.
* (The street was named for Jerônimo Sodré Pereira, of Santo Amaro, Bahia -- a town located at the north end of the Baía de Todos os Santos -- an area in which Sr. Pereira owned sugarcane plantations. He built a mansion on this street, the edifice nowadays housing a public school. Around the corner, on the Ladeira de Santa Tereza, No. 7, for many years lived somebody who had been purchased as an African (of an ethnicity now known as Yoruba, although the term wasn't used in his time; here in Bahia the term for these people was Nagô) by Jerônimo, Domingos Pereira Sodré, whose life and history have been so capably delineated and set forth by João José Reis in his book Domingos Sodré, um sacerdote africano (Domingos Sodré, an African Priest). Somewhere along the line of these wealthy planation owners and their intermingling with African women was sired the progenitor of the family of Raimundo Nonato Pereira Sodré, Raimundo Sodré, that magnificent repository of Afro-Bahian music.)
Raimundo Sodré, with (from left) Asa Branca, Kiko Souza, Gustavo Carybé, and Pururú
Preguiça (Laziness) -- The far end of Rua do Sodré (from Dois de Julho) runs into the Ladeira da Preguiça (a "ladeira" is a sloping street), which in turn winds its way down to the lower city. The ladeira (the descending or ascending of which would nowadays invite robbery of anybody obviously a tourist) was in Salvador's early years the principal thoroughfare for the transportation of arriving cargo from the lower city to the upper. Slaves did much of this work (their compatriots in this being burros and donkeys) and in return for their backbreaking labor they were made to constantly endure cries and accusations of laziness. "Ladeira da Preguiça" is the title of a song Gilberto Gil song wrote for Elis Regina in 1971.

Our great friends Daniel Blumenthal and Alain Zamrini manage a good number of the-only-surprises-are-good-surprises apartments here in Salvador (and if anything otherwise comes up they are here and on the scene to make things more than right)...and then there is Charles' guesthouse...

Don't grieve alone
This is for anyone who has lost somone to cancer. I lost my adopted Mom to breast cancer some years ago. She was everything I could have asked for. She loved me because I was just me. She also loved my family and children as if they were her own.

Mary M, I lost my husband almost 5 years ago from blood cancer and a failed stem cell transplant, and I still miss him every day. He was only 43, I was 45 when he died. October 31st will be the 5th anniversary of his passing and already I'm dreading it, especially now having just lost my Mom less than three months ago. I feel like I lost the two people in this world who truly and completely loved me.
Jayne, I am also so sorry for your loss. My Mom died almost 3 months ago and she was also my best friend. I am completely lost without her. I am still in shock. She had liver cancer, diagnosed only a week before she died. We had her home on hospice for 5 days and she slipped away so fast that my siblings and I are all left feeling like a tornado swept through, leaving us in the aftermath. My body fell apart, as I was recently diagnosed with Chronic Inflammatory Colitis, and lost almost 20 pounds and a lot of blood since her death. I was her caregiver, too, and we were planning for her to move in with me before all this happened. I am totally and completely lost. Prayers and deepest sympathy to you.
i would love to talk to others who have gone through the passing of their mom. I am so sick. I lost my bff.
any cancer stinks
cancer is the worst my mom had pancreatic cancer,
I have reading about so much heartache that the members have posted for me the days empty my husband died from lung cancer feb this year like losing my right arm
my days now consist of hate hate to get up hate to go to bed hate watching TV because something will remind me he is no longer here Once a very happy person I now find no joy in life I do know after reading these stories that others can feel this way I also know that time is a great healer and I do try to look at the positive side of life and some times that is very hard so I take heart in words that were once said to me "Without death how can we appreciate their life"

text: This is a bit of redemption for me. 2 years ago, I wrote about pickling whitefish, and failed at documenting the recipe or approach to it. So this time around, I'm taking notes as I plan on doing this often. It's not fussy, it's tasty, and strikes me as the kind of thing every good northerner should be happy to tuck into with a beer or vodka. So when the fish in the photo below came into my life, I knew its fate. I'll never forget

text: Waves, Currents, Tides "Motion in the Ocean" Review the properties of water and include the differences of pressure and the increase of pressure with depth in the ocean – adaptation of animals. Mt. Everest – 8848 meters – Marianas Trench – 10915m Magnetic anomolies – switch every ? # years HANDOUT ON THE OCEAN BASINS, names of oceans and trenches You are responsible to know the major ocean basins – oceans and seas, continents and plates.(p. 22 and 33 in text). Remember: Solar radiation leads to winds, differences in temperature and salinity. Ocean Temperatures – – Four thermal zones exist for surface waters – Polar, Cold Temperate, Warm Temperate and Tropical. – Temperatures decrease with increased depth and zone of great difference is called the thermocline and occurs with seasons and thermal zones. Waves – – Are a series of undulating energy forms that move through water, water stays in same place except for breaking waves. Wave moves the particles of water in an orbit or a circular motion – current moves water in direction. – Propagation of waves – start from a transfer of energy – wind and geologic disturbance (landslide, earthquake and volcanoes). Wind waves – develop under wind. Changes in air pressure cause friction on surface producing ripples. Ripples change with velocity and duration of wind blowing – fetch – is the distance or span of water over which the wind blows, and for how long it blows. Seismic waves or tsunamis – when seismic activity sends a wave of great wavelength which can become huge (tall) when it 'feels bottom' as it arrives in shallow water. Measurements of a wave – Height –vertical distance from the trough to the crest Wavelength – horizontal distance from crest to crest Period – time for two successive crests to pass a certain point Swells – when wind waves leave area of fetch or wind velocity decreases and settle into patterns of rounded crests and troughs of similar size. Surf – waves break when the depth of the water is half the period – or distance between crests. Surge – in shallow water when water particle in orbit can't make a circle and circle is compressed into back and forth motion. Size, direction and freqency of waves affect beaches and the organisms that inhabit them. LOCALLY – heavy northern winter swells, more moderate summer tropical storms. WINDS – driven by solar energy. Patterns of global winds are affected by heat rising, the sinking of cold air and the rotation of the earth. Winds are affected by these processes and are most constant at the equator =Trade winds– Easterlies (15 degrees N), then the Westerlies (mid latidudes, W to E) and then the polar easterlies. Net E-W movement of water in tropics, water piles up there, thermocline is depressed as water heats up. Coriolis Effect – Currents flow clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counter–clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere due to the Coriolis Effect. because of the rotation of the earth, when an object moves horizontally along a horizontal surface it appears to veer right in the north and left in the south. Strongest at the poles and not present at the equator. Effect on currents –Wind blows on water and causes it to move. Due to coriolis effect water moves at an angle to the wind and causes circular motion and gyres (15-45 degrees). It deflects large–scale motion like winds and currents. CURRENTS – direction of flow of a body of water. THEY ARE COMPLEX Surface currents –affected by wind patterns, usually penetrate no deeper than 200-300m World Ocean Currents – • Movement of water by wind: equatorial currents. • Deflection off land coastal boundary currents Eastern and Western Boundary California Current and Gulf stream. • After water piles up, needs to go somewhere: counter currents. Add the water movement together: great ocean gyres. Driven by wind, heat, and displaced water. Local current and conditions – Along the west coast of North America we have the California Current which brings cold waters from the Arctic. Coriolis pushes water offshore (west) when NW winds blow, bringing deep water up = upwelling El Nino –and la Nina = ENSO: El Nino Southern Ocsillation Event (trans pacific linkage of atmospheric pressure systems). Winds and currents pushing West relax, water moves back eastward along the equatorial counter current. This brings warm waters, moisture and rain and introduced organisms to our waters. It also suppresses the upwelling, driving down productivity and creating havoc in our food webs. Similar effect in South America. Opposite effect in W pacific (drought). Vertical water movements: sinking and upwelling. TIDES – are a long period wave. Imperceptible in the open ocean and visible at the coast. caused by gravitational pull and centrifugal force. Tide day is 24hrs and 50 minutes due to time it takes moon to rotate around the earth. High tide – when the crest reaches the coast Low tide – when the trough " Energy for this wave comes from the gravitational attractions – sun and moon Behavior and magnitude come from: a.) gravitational attractions b.) ocean basin topography SPRING TIDES = During full and new moons – bulge greatest – moon + sun pull together. NEAP TIDES = During first and third quarter bulge is smaller as it bulges all over earth – MOON RULES. With land masses in the way – tides have to work around the ocean basins. Semidiurnal tides: 2 highs, 2 lows of equal size every 24 hours and 50 minutes. Diurnal: One high and one low every 24:50. Mixed semidiurnal: 2 highs and 2 lows of different size every 24:50. More terms: Tidal range – vertical distance between high and low Tidal amplitude: 1/2 the tidal range Mean High Tide: Average high tide level Mean Low Tide: Average low tide level Ebb and Flood tide : currents associated with tides in estuaries and harbors – ebb=out Slack tide: occur at the high and low points in estuaries and harbors and are times when there is little water movement in and out of the basin. LOCAL TIDES: Mixed Semidiurnal – as is most of the West Coast of the Pacific. Means there are 2 highs and 2 lows per day and associated with and dependant upon the relative position of the sun to the earth and moon. Range – approximately 6 feet from –2 to +4 feet above and below the mean Greatest during SPRING when sun –moon – earth are aligned Least during NEAP – quarters. Tide effects on animals: adaptations to dessication, salinity etc induces rythmicity in animals breeding and feeding patterns

Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area (CRNRA) would like to invite you and members of your organization to attend a public scoping meeting for an upcoming Environmental Assessment (EA) of new trail connections in three different units of the park. The meeting will be held at the following location and time:
CRNRA Headquarters
Hewlett Lodge Conference Room
1978 Island Ford Parkway
Sandy Springs, GA 30350
Thursday, October 29, 2009
7 – 9 p.m.
During the standing-room-only IMBA Interbike Industry Breakfast on September 24th, Tom Hughes, owner of Bike Town USA in Gainesville, GA, and Dan Thornton of Free-Flite Bicycles in Marietta, GA, received plaques to reward them for reaching Platinum Status, and Mike Nix, owner of Liberty Bikes in Asheville, NC, was award IMBA Gold Status. Platinum Status, IMBA's highest level of recognition, is awarded to retail shops for their long-standing financial contributions to IMBA that exceed $2,500. Gold Status recognizes contributions of over $1,000. Only three other shops nationally achieved Platinum Status, Bicycle Sport Shop, TX; Shenandoah Bicycle Co., PN.; and Wheel and Sprocket, WI.
Tom, Dan, and Mike are long-time supporters of IMBA-SORBA, and they richly deserve this recognition for their efforts to further mountain biking advocacy in their local areas. Tom has been active throughout the development of the Gainesville State College and Chicopee Woods Mountain Bike Trail systems, and Dan has supported a multitude of projects in the Atlanta area, most recently the creation of the Van Michael Trail at Blankets Creek in Woodstock and the A. L. Burruss Family Mountain Bike Park in Marietta. Mike has long been involved in advocacy and was instrumental is establishing the Western North Carolina Bicycle Dealer's Association Biker Bucks program, which offers discounts to those who join IMBA-SORBA and perform trail work. These shop owners understand the importance of vibrant, local trail systems and the chapters that make them happen, and they will continue to support IMBA-SORBA's mission.
Nashville TN, September 16, 2009 - The Southern Off-Road Bicycle Association Middle Tennessee was this year's recipient of the 'BIG CHECK" from the Dirt, Sweat & Gears 12 Hour Mountain Bike Endurance Race held May 9, 2009. A whopping total of $3505 was raised despite the peanut buttery Tennessee mud that was ever present for the 3rd annual running of this epic 12 hour race. Again DSG proved to be a success in pulling mountain bikers together. The Cotton Mill Preserve is the perfect setting for this growing regional event and is a testament to the nurturing culture of mountain biking.
SwiftWick CEO Mark Cleveland stated, "This race is a special event, with an atmosphere that reflects the people who make it happen. It's a competitive group of athletes, committed to their passion, to trail riding and the great outdoors. Together, the riders at DSG and the sponsors are giving back to improve the trails we love so much."
IMBA/SORBA is the southeastern voice of the International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA) and has been involved with DSG from the beginning by offering volunteer trail work and marketing contributions. This is a benchmark example of when a private event and preserve gives back to a volunteer organization and public trails.
The Chattahoochee Trail Horse Assoc. will be hosting a work party this Saturday at Bull Mtn. From CTHA:

NORCROSS, GA – September 8, 2009. Blue Competition Cycles, a leading manufacturer of high-performance bicycles, announced today they will donate $100 to the International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA) and the Southern Off Road Bicycle Association (SORBA) for each Blue mountain bike sold during the next year. The funds will primarily be used to create and maintain riding trails.
"We are pleased to get such generous support from Blue," said IMBA-SORBA Executive Director and IMBA regional director Tom Sauret. "Their commitment goes far beyond building great mountain bikes. They are mountain bikers themselves and have been involved in our sport for many years. This money will be put to good use, primarily to establish new trails to support the growth of mountain biking."
"We love mountain biking and I can think of no better way to show it than by supporting IMBA-SORBA in their efforts to open new trails," said Chance Regina of Blue Competition Cycles. "The timing is perfect because we just introduced a new all-carbon-fiber, hard tail mountain bike called the XC2 to go along with the Ryno, our full-suspension bike launched in 2009. We are proud to work with such a great organization on such an important project," Regina continued. "Their hard work has created a great environment for mountain bikers and we want to be sure that work continues."
The program begins immediately and will continue for the next 12 months.
IMBA, the NOC, and the USFS have partnered to bring you a weekend of just what you need. If you want to exchange ideas about mountain biking organizations and their importance in creating sustainable trails, get some National Mountain Bike Patrol training, receive USFS chainsaw certification, and ride your bike in the autumn colors of North Carolina. This is the weekend you have been waiting for.
Cost for the weekend is $25.00, which includes Lunch and dinner on Saturday. NOC will offer a 10% discount on all other meals for registered participants. Participants are welcome to bring their own food and prepare their own meals at the Base Camp kitchen.
Register on-line at IMBA.com.
Lodging is available at the Nantahala Outdoor Center and you can reserve space at http://www.noc.com/index.php/lodging-and-dining.html. The USFS Chainsaw certification is limited to six (6) participants and all participants must have proof of current First Aid and CPR certifications.
"Mountain bikers, take action! Make your voice heard!"
"Voice your support for better singletrack!"
"Help open new trails to mountain biking!"
We've all heard these pleas—making these pleas is what we do at IMBA-SORBA. Most public agencies have a process they must follow before implementing a trail opening or closure, and that process includes getting input from the public. Land managers need to gauge public sentiment towards an issue, to help them decide how to act. Responding during a public comment period makes a difference, especially if people are opposed to your position. Be assured that those on the other side of the issue will be sending in their comments. So, please respond when you're asked to comment, and mind how you respond, as that makes a difference, as well. Follow these guidelines, and rest assured that your voice is heard.
The National Parks Service Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area hosted a Ribbon Cutting on August 1, 2009 to honor the volunteers and supporters that made the Sope Creek Mountian Bike Trail improvements possible. SORBA (Southern Off-Road Bicycle Association), Crossroads Alternative School, and 3 REI stores contributed much time on multiple work days to work on the mountain bike trail to implement the improvements. Over 4000 volunteer hours were donated on this project, with SORBA alone donating 1100 hours. Coca-Cola Scholars and 5 local businesses and organizations were also involved. Thanks to their efforts, the CRNRA now has 4 new sustainable trail sections that have by-passed problem areas that had major resource damage and were safety hazards for park users. Although the work was completed and the new sections were opened in June, the Ribbon Cutting ceremony officially opened the new trail re-alignments to the public.
For digging, Paulding SORBA partnered with Engage Atlanta (www.engageatlanta.org) for the Community Makeover (www.communitymakeover.net) at Mount Tabor Park over the weekend of July 31- August 2. In the span of that weekend, 1624 volunteer hours were amassed, with 132 volunteers working on Saturday and 100 on Sunday. These hard-working volunteers opened up a 1.3 mile loop and completed approximately a mile on another loop. Amazing effort from everyone involved! On Sunday, the volunteers were offered a special treat--authentic Mexican food for a $4 donation. The food was expertly and lovingly prepared by Alicia Ruiz and several ladies from her church, Iglesia Evangelica Christina Espirtual. The $465 raised will help to replace their church building, which was lost in a fire in 2007.
