Ask the Expert: Using the Ocean as a Mikveh
How do you dunk in the ocean?
Question: I heard that you can use a natural body of water, like an ocean or a lake, as a mikveh if you don't have a regular mikveh available to you.
How does that work? You just go skinny dipping and say a blessing?
--Rose, New York
Answer: Skinny dipping as spiritual practice? I wish! There are rules for using the mikveh (sometimes spelled mikvah) that make it a little more organized than just cavorting naked in the water with your friends.
In general, I'd say that if you regularly use a mikveh for the purposes of family purity and you're going to be in a situation where you won't have access to one, but will have access to a natural body of water, like an ocean or a lake, it's best to contact a rabbi or yoetzet and get their input. A yoetzet is a woman who has carefully studied the laws of niddah and is considered an authority on issues related to the mikveh. If you don't already have a yoetzet that you know and feel comfortable with, your rabbi might be able to recommend one, or you can check out yoatzot.org.
However, I can give you some basic tips on using a natural body of water for ritual immersion. First of all, not all bodies of water are created equal, and they don't all work as mikvehs. The laws of what constitutes a mikveh, and the construction of a mikveh are very complex, and there is an entire tractate of the Mishnah devoted to this topic. In short, a mikveh must be connected to a natural spring, or a natural well, or be connected to a cistern of rainwater (Mikvaot 7:1). Oceans are considered springs, so they always work, as do rivers that do not originate from rainwater. If you're dealing with a river or spring that's made up mainly of rainwater, you need to find a part of the water that is not moving. The water also needs to be deep enough that you can immerse your whole body at once.
Obviously, whenever one deals with water and swimming there are concerns about safety, and it's absolutely imperative that ritual immersion doesn't put your life at risk. If you can't swim, an ocean mikveh is not for you.
Make sure that whatever body of water you're using is safe, and if necessary find out about the schedule of the tides so you won't be suddenly caught at high tide. Also remember that immersing in the mikveh for niddah purposes should ideally be done at night, so make sure the area is well lit and safe at night. If the area is not safe at night but is safe during the day, some rabbinic authorities allow for immersion during the day. This would be a good thing to ask your yoetzet or rabbi.
At the mikveh, there is generally a woman who watches to ensure that you were completely immersed in the water for each dunk. If your hair is long enough that you are concerned it may not all immerse at once, you probably want someone to watch, even if you're using the ocean. This woman should be Jewish and over the age of 12 (the age that constitutes adulthood for women according to Jewish law). Some rabbinic authorities allow your husband to do this for you, if no one else is available.
On mikveh night you should prepare as you usually do, by showering, cleaning and cutting nails, brushing teeth, etc. Then, you and your helper should head out to the water. Depending on the privacy of the area you're using, you may want to wear a bathing suit or some kind of long robe to get into the water. Then, when you've gotten to a point where the water is deep enough you can take off your suit under water and hand it to your helper. Before you dunk, shake off any sand or mud that may have clung to the bottom of your feet (you may want to walk out in flip flops and take them off just before you dunk). Remember to choose a spot that's light enough that your helper can see that you've completely immersed.
Those are the basic rules, but I called Danit Schusterman, the mikveh lady in Maui, to ask her about her experiences using the ocean as a mikveh (Maui now has its own mikveh). The first thing Danit said to me was, "It's not as romantic as it sounds."
She recommended doing a lot of research first, and finding a spot where the water is calm, and the area is safe and quiet. She said, "The best thing to do is to go out wearing your swimsuit or a t-shirt, and go right before sunset. Swim around and get comfortable for a little bit, and then right after the sun actually sets take off your suit and dunk, and have the other person right there to watch." Danit also admitted that she found the whole process of using the ocean very scary, and she wouldn't recommend it if it's at all possible to avoid.
Alas, it sounds like using a natural body of water as a mikveh is not as fun as going skinny dipping. Sorry! But if you're in a bind, it's certainly doable. Good luck!

In a phone interview after the meeting with Boehner's district director Ryan Day, Butler County, OH, Sheriff Richard K. Jones told Breitbart News that the Speaker's representative promised no legalization will happen before the border is secured and the nation's interior immigration laws are enforced. "He said Congressman Boehner agreed with us that first the border had to be secured," Jones said. "Second, working with state and local and federal law enforcement working together within the United States, that has to be done first. Securing the borders has to be done first. And he promised that that Senate bill was not going to go through the House. And that unless they had a majority, it was not going to come out of [conference] committee." Jones added that Day apparently had a strong message from Boehner. "He said Boehner said to deliver this message: 'Nothing gets done on anything until the border is secure first. Nothing. And that's more than we had said before. Amnesty is not even going to be talked about.' That's what he said." Jones said "Oh yeah," when asked if he supports that. "We don't want nothing done until they secure that border, support the law enforcement--local, state and federal working together--enforcing laws that they choose to," Jones said. "Right now, we can't enforce nothing. It's a total chaos, a total mess. The way the Senate bill was done is they want amnesty first. We don't want none of that until these things are addresses. That [amnesty] is another day, another time. But right now, they got to do this first today. And they support basically what we asked for. That's pretty important." Boehner spokesman Michael Steel told Breitbart News in response to Jones' comments that the Speaker does not support any "comprehensive" immigration plans. "The Speaker favors, and will insist on, a step by step approach to fixing our immigration system that starts with securing our borders and enforcing our laws," Steel said in an email. "That's what his staff said, and what Boehner has said in his letter and elsewhere."

Schema Thematization: A Framework and an Example
Laurel Cooley, Maria Trigueros, Bernadette Baker
July 2007, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 370
This article examines a calculus graphing schema and the triad stages of schema development from Action-Process-Object-Schema (APOS) theory. Previously, the authors studied the underlying structures necessary for students to process concepts and enrich their knowledge, thus demonstrating various levels of understanding via the calculus graphing schema. This investigation built on this previous work by focusing on the thematization of the schema with the intent to expose those possible structures acquired at the most sophisticated stages of schema development.

I found the meetings at all of the various congregations, councils, tribunal, commissions and such to be very informative. Whichever office with which we met went out of their way to be present to us, often with the head of the office, the secretary, and the undersecretaries in attendance. They listened to what we had to say, responded to our questions, and offered information as needed. I was struck by how small their staffs are in comparison to all the work they have to do. They do a lot with a little.
Another series of great moments that were part of the "ad limina' visit was being able to concelebrate Mass at the four major basilicas (St. Peter's, St. Paul Outside the Walls, St. Mary Major, and St. John Lateran) and at St. Peter's saying Mass at the tomb of Blessed John Paul II and on another day, the tomb of Blessed John XXIII.
I wasn't able to stay for the consistory because I had the Rite of Election scheduled for this past Sunday in the cathedral. The Rite of Election is too important in the life of the Church for me to miss it. Perhaps there will be other opportunities for me to attend a consistory in the future but not this year.
Onto some lighter notes...
The smog in Rome is much better but it still has a long way to go. It seemed like I had a chest cold the whole time I was there. But if you don't mind the cold, February is a good month to visit Rome. Everything is still open and there are no crowds anywhere. The weather this year though after the snow days cleared and the air was as clean as it gets.
The "rigatoni alla carbonara" at the Abruzzi just off the Piazza Dodieci Apostoli is good but the the "spaghetti alla carbonara" at Mazzicone's on the Borgo Pio has it beat. It's a heart attack in a bow and delicious as such.
The plane flight from Rome to Atlanta is a long one. Almost 11 hours. You can go from Tokyo to Munich in that time. Never knew that until I was thumbing through the airline magazine while standing in the galley trying wake up my legs from sitting so long.
Speaking of traveling, I can't say enough about how great the train system is in Italy and western Europe. It is amazing who quick the"rapido" or express train gets you between one city and another. It is now less than an hour and half from Rome to Naples and less than two hours between Rome and Florence. When I was a student in Italy in 90-94, it was pretty much double that time. And going first class is the way to go (it's only about 30% more).
It's nice to be back in the USA.

Though early reviews have praised ''What Lies Beneath'' for its subtle suspense, TV commercials and theatrical trailers show Pfeiffer not so subtly screaming at a ghost, getting knocked around by Ford, and taking a header off a pier. ''It IS a scary movie,'' says Pfeiffer, who plays the movie's unnerved protagonist. But some viewers are also complaining that the promotional montage reveals too many of the movie's nail-biting moments. ''The problem is, people want to see everything they're going to see before they even watch the movie,'' says Zemeckis, who worked closely with the film's U.S. distributor, DreamWorks, to develop the marketing campaign. ''I relate it to McDonald's. The reason that's a tremendous success is because people know exactly what they're going to get. Sadly, we want our lives to be bland.''
Still, the director says that no matter how much the trailer reveals in an effort to sell tickets opening weekend, there are plenty of plot twists left to rattle audiences. The catch is counting on people not to spoil the surprise ending for their friends. (We at EW.com will respectfully refrain from ruining any for you.) ''We live in a world where people need to know everything right away,'' says Zemeckis. ''I hope this movie doesn't become a casualty of that.''
The biggest shock about ''What Lies Beneath'' may be that the thrills indicated in the trailer take a backseat in the movie to the complex emotional lives of its main characters, a long-married couple played by Pfeiffer and Ford. As Claire Spencer, Pfeiffer plays a woman who becomes anxious when her teenage daughter (Katharine Towne, late of ''M.Y.O.B.'') leaves for college -- and her scientist husband (Ford) is consumed with his research.
Pfeiffer, who has veered away from supernatural chills except for the more-fun-than-spooky 1987 comedy ''The Witches of Eastwick,'' says she trusted Zemeckis to guide her away from scream queen territory. ''I was ready for a role that was a real departure, but I was a bit daunted because the thriller was a new genre for me,'' says the 43 year old actress, who worked with a scuba instructor to overcome her crippling fear of water before filming the movie's soggy scenes. ''But I felt like I was in such good hands I felt ready to take the plunge, literally.'' After this weekend, she'll know if ticket buyers are willing to dive in, too.

GarageBand for the iPad in Action
I must admit I was a little skeptical when it came to the abilities of the iPad's new musical abilities, but this changed completely once I found this video of George Lambro's skills. If you think that GarageBand for the iPad is a bust, check this video out! This is where the phrase Apple so pushes "the iPad is magical" truly comes into play.
Reported by TUAW.
Apple Updates Remote App to 2.1.1
Apple has updated their Remote app for the iPhone and iPad to version 2.1.1. Remote is an App designed to take control of iTunes on your Mac, or your Apple TV from one of your iOS devices. Version 2.1.1 adds the following:
- Improvements when connection to iTunes or Apple TV
- Addition of a "skip back" button when playing video
- Additional stability and performance improvements
This appears to be mostly a performance update with the addition of a "skip back" button when controlling a device playing video. To download this update open iTunes on either your Mac or your iOS device.
Updated iMovie for the iPhone
Although one of the iPad 2′s killer features is it's built-cameras and the ability to run a fully featured version of iMovie (version 1.2) with it's faster processor, little do people know that iMovie for the iPhone has also been updated. Here's what the official App Store notes state (excluding iPad only features) :
- Multitrack audio editing with 8 themed soundtracks and over 50 bundled sound effects
- Audio recording directly into the timeline
- Three new themes – Neon, Simple, and CNN iReport
- AirPlay support for sharing to Apple TV (compatible only with second-generation AppleTV; requires iOS 4.3 or later)
Apple Updates iTunes to 10.2 for Compatibility with iOS 4.3
Apple recently updated its media hub iTunes to version 10.2 for compatibility with its soon-to-be-released update to its iOS. With this update, iOS 4.3 users will be able to sync their computers with their iPhones, iPads, and iPod touches. The iOS 4.3 update is due Friday, March 11th.
The update brings enhancements to iTunes's "Home Sharing" feature – making the updated iOS devices able to browse and play home shared libraries straight from the OS. Note that this happens over a required WiFi network which both devices have to be connected to.
FaceTime Beta for Mac
A little while back, Apple introduced a beta into the Mac App universe allowing you to video chat with other Apple devices using their new video calling service "FaceTime". These devices include (at the time of writing) iPhone 4 and an iPod Touch "with camera". Here's a look at what this beta has to offer. After downloading and installing the beta, you are given the option to enter or create an Apple ID. This will be the address that people will use to call you through FaceTime with. Once set up, FaceTime for Mac will populate a list with your contacts allowing you to call them using their email addresses. As long as they have FaceTime open and have it connected to the corresponding address you have in their Address Book card, then your video conferencing adventures are but a click away.
Skype for iPhone Now Supports Video
With the release of Skype 3.0 for the iPhone comes the ability to video chat. This long awaited feature is now available. Here's what the official update text says:
- Make Skype to Skype video calls on WiFi and 3G*
- Call Skype desktop users (Mac OS X or Windows) and other iPhone users.
- Two-way video calls supported on iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and iPod touch 4th gen.
- Receive only video supported on iPad and iPod touch 3rd gen, with no camera.
- Make video calls in portrait and landscape.
Apple Blasts Spotify US Launch
Most Americans may not be aware of a free music subscription service that is gaining a lot of attention in Europe. Spotify, originated in Sweden, is that service. Stream music anywhere, anytime, all the time, for free. You can share music with your friends, create custom playlists, listen to new albums, stream to your mobile device from the cloud instantly, all for free. Makes sense that with the few people in the US who know of Spotifys existence cant wait for the service to hit the American part of the Internet. Apple, however, wouldnt exactly like it too much if Spotify came to the American sandbox to play, being that they totally dominate the digital content distribution industry through iTunes. In fact, Cupertino is in the process of explaining to labels why it would be rather difficult to sell something that people could get elsewhere for free legally.
Remote 2.0 is Released with Apple TV Support
Apple has just released Remote 2.0 which includes a new icon, support for Apple TV and better support for the iPad and the retina display on the iPhone 4. The interface on the iPad now almost looks like iTunes on the desktop.
First AirPlay Supported AV Reciever
The Denon AVR-4311CI has been reportedly flagged to gain AirPlay support in the near future. This can be done by a company released firmware update allowing users to stream your favorite music from any iOS device to the receiver.
Ping: The iTunes Social Network
At Apple's recent media briefing, the music selling blockbuster company released a new version of iTunes – version 10. Along with a bunch of interface enhancements and the ability to soon stream music, pictures, and video to the new Apple TV, a new social network was also brought into the area of musical cyberspace. Introducing Ping: A Social Network for Music.

RELEASED: Sept. 22, 2010
EAU CLAIRE — More than 150 University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire students will spend their 2011 winter or spring breaks on a Civil Rights Pilgrimage, visiting sites of historic importance to the U.S. civil rights movement.
Registration for the winter and spring trips will begin Oct. 4. Registration will continue until all available spots are filled.
The winter trip will run Jan. 7-17, 2011, and the spring break trip is slated for March 18-26, 2011.
Participants will visit the birthplace of Martin Luther King Jr. in Atlanta; the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute in Birmingham, Ala.; the Civil Rights Memorial and the Rosa Parks Museum and Library in Montgomery, Ala.; the National Voting Rights Museum and other sites in Selma, Ala.; Central High School and the William J. Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock, Ark.; and the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, Tenn.
"The Civil Rights Pilgrimage completely changed the way that I form perspectives about the world," said Sarah Tweedale, a junior sociology major from Richfield. "It provided me with a kind of learning that I hadn't found in the Midwest. Speaking directly with people who were involved in the civil rights movement in the 1950s-70s is invaluable in learning the struggles that others have gone through to get our country to the point at which we're at today. The immersion in the South and opportunity to learn about such a critical time period in United States history is truly the most transformative experience that I've had at UW-Eau Claire."
Students taking the trip also may register for a three-credit travel seminar. "Women's Studies 222" will introduce students to key women activists of the 20th century and the American civil rights movement in which they were involved. The course will focus on the significant contributions of African American women in the fight for civil rights, said Jodi Thesing-Ritter, UW-Eau Claire associate dean of students. In addition to participation in the Civil Rights Pilgrimage, the seminar requires on-campus instruction. For more information about the class and permission to register for it, students must contact the women's studies department.
Students on the pilgrimage also can participate in a faculty-student research project that will be developed by student trip coordinators.
The $350 trip fee includes transportation, lodging and museum admissions. Students can register beginning Oct. 4 in the Dean of Students office, Schofield Hall Room 240. A $75 deposit is required at registration.
The Civil Rights Pilgrimage is partially funded through a gift from the Juedes-Molinaro Family Foundation to the UW-Eau Claire Foundation. The trip also is sponsored by the UW-Eau Claire Dean of Students office and the Blugold Commitment fund.
To read about personal experiences of students on previous trips, go to the Civil Rights Pilgrimage trip blog.
More information can be found online.
For details, contact Jodi Thesing-Ritter at 715-836-2325 or email@example.com.

Add West Elm to your list of online retailers who don't believe shipping should be part of the business plan. It would be one thing if West Elm stated up front that they don't know when they'll send you the goods, but we guess it's just easier to makes sales when you list everything as available for "immediate delivery" on the website, no matter when you plan on shipping it.
West Elm Excels At Taking Your Money, Not At Shipping Your Items
West Elm Needs to Hire Studlier Boys
The real shocker of this story is that the furniture store West Elm is just a division of Williams-Sonoma. Horror! It was one thing to be chased out of our old neighborhood by a hip, independent New York furniture boutique, but now we're unsure how we feel about West Elm. Does it make us cooler or more lame to have been chased out of a neighborhood by a big chain or a small, burgeoning store? These are heady questions for a Monday morning.

The transmission begins slipping & eventually has to be replaced, typically soon after 90,000 miles & with a repair cost of over $2,000.
Subframe rust near the front passenger side wheel has become a problem recently, due to the poorly positioned A/C drain hose directly above that area. Repair cost to the subframe is over $2,000.
The SRS warning light likes to come on due to a defective seat belt sensor -- typically the driver's side. This sensor is covered under Honda's lifetime seat belt warranty, but some dealers charge a $100+ "diagnostic fee" or tell customers the entire SRS unit ($800) is bad.

Welcome to Le Studio Dance, Pasadena's premiere ballet and dance studio.
The Mission of Le Studio Dance Company, the resident ballet company of Le Studio Dance, is to increase the creative life of the community and encourage future generations to participate and/or experience learning through the medium of dance.
To forward this committment, Le Studio Dance Company community outreach includes a series of educational dance programs for children. These hour long, low-cost performances include Peter and the Wolf, The Pied Piper, Little Red Riding Hood, Winnie the Pooh and many others. Students have a behind the scenes look at how dancers train and prepare for performance. Since the beginning of these programs in 1997, over 60,000 school children have been served.
Call us at (626) 792-4616 or email us email@example.com
Le Studio was founded in 1979 by twin brothers, Charles and Philip Fuller, as a professional dance school offering comprehensive study to all students, regardless of their ability or reasons for study. Alumni are continuously found in major dance companies and related fields throughout the United States.
In 1981, Philip accepted the invitation of Evelyn LeMone, founding Artistic Director of Pasadena Dance Theatre, to serve as PDT's Co-Artistic Director with Charles as Executive Director. Subsequently from 1981 through 1995, Le Studio was the home and official school of PDT.
In 1995, knowing the importance of Pilates exerecise for both the dancer and non-dancer, Le Studio established one of the first comprehensive Pilates program in the Pasadena area, which a year later was relocated to Le Studio Fitness, a separate facility located one half mile north of Le Studio Dance.
In 1996, the Fullers, wanting to pursue their own artistic vision, founded DanceCorps, whereupon it became Le Studio's resident dance campany with Le Studio as its official school.
In 2006, ownership of Le Studio was passed to new management.
Welcome to Le Studio, Pasadena's premier ballet studio. Le Studio offers a full range of dance classes — ballet, modern, tap, jazz, musical theater — for dancers of all ages from 3 years to adults.
At Le Studio Dance, the central philosophy is to demand the best of each student, whether or not he or she plans to dance professionally. As its primary purpose, Le Studio concentrates on the appreciation of dance as an art form taught in a positive and structured environment.
Although education and development of mental and physical coordination are the uppermost concerns of our program, students with the proper amount of training, talent and desire will be encouraged to pursue professional careers in dance and related fields.

Jail for bribery ringleader
Prosecutors had recommended no prison time
NEW HAVEN — Paul Rogers might have been spared prison Wednesday for leading a scheme to bribe former House Speaker Christopher G. Donovan if he had not led a double life of crime.
Instead, a U.S. District Court judge sentenced Rogers to serve six months despite the recommendation of federal prosecutors that Rogers should get no prison time because of his cooperation in the Donovan probe and other criminal investigations.

Blount County (WVLT) - A tense night for authorities in Blount County after they were called to the scene of a stand off.
Deputies say they went ot the hom in the Kensington Place Mobile Home Park at about 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday night, after a woman said her boyfriend, 65-year-old Lester Boling pulled a gun on her.
They say Boling then barricaded himself inside his mobile home, forcing deputies to evacuate dozens of nearby homes.
Investigators say they made contact with Boling and tried to get him to surrender several times. After about two hours, he came out peacefully.
"We decided to do a throw phone, a communications device, through a window. Shortly after we deployed that device, the front door came open and the gentleman exited the house," chief deputy Ron Dunn said.
"They said they were evacuating people out of here. There was somebody with a high powered rifle in here and that they were trying to clear out as many folks as they could," neighbor Fergus Murphy said.
"I just called 911 and they told me someone was in their house, and they held themselves up in their house, and I needed to stay in my house and lock the door," neighbor Brad Murphy said.
The sheriff's department says Lester Boling is facing aggravated assualt.
During the stand-off, they say Boling's son, Lester Boling Jr, arrived and deputies found a pistol in his vehicle, for which he did not have a permit. He was taken into custody and charged with possession of a firearm with intent to go armed.

So if you are upgrading from a graphite installation older than 0.9.12_1, you will need to follow the following instructions:
Be careful that you do not miss any of the steps and you should have a working Graphite install.]]>
This will be pushed out to the clients as long as: pluginsync = true
For me the next step is to create a manifests/init.pp in the new module directory. This is important to me because I want to sync out a /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf to all my machines so that they point to my internal poudriere repos. So I end up with something like this:
file { "/usr/local/etc/pkg.conf": mode => 755, owner => root, content => "packagesite: http://pkg/91-web/ ", }
Once that is done it is easy to use pkgng packages via:
package { "www/apache22": ensure => installed, provider => pkgng, require => File['/usr/local/etc/pkg.conf'], }]]>

Over the years, I have done serial console in many ways. I began with a single null modem cable between the back of two servers. Next, I utilized a RocketPort multi-port serial card with 8 serial ports on it. These days, I have moved on to employing big serial console servers such as those made by OpenGear, providing up to 48 ports. They also have ancillary features such as providing a Nagios platform and Environmental monitoring.
No matter your physical connectivity, I recommend using Conserver. This helps by logging what is happening on the console, which can be very handy if you need to see what happened in the past whether it be a function of the system, or to see who did what. It also provides multi-user access, so you can watch while someone else is working and both of you can collaborate on fixing a problem.
In order for the previous technologies to be useful, the servers require configuration as well. The first step is to configure the BIOS for serial console redirection. Once this has been performed, the OS will need to be configured to present a console login via the serial port. The FreeBSD Handbook explains how to do this Here.]]>
It is pretty basic, here are some of the highlights:
In FreeBSD 9, a few things have changed. If you have an old PXE environment from FreeBSD 8, you will want to make note of the following:
Anoncvs I have not gotten around to setting up yet, hopefully soon.]]>

I opened a ticket in the Puppet Bug tracker, 11318. Then I found out that someone by the nick of tdb had already incorporated our changes into another pull request that adds more functionality and some unit tests. So hopefully this will be committed soon and we can have this support upstream.
I just wanted to thank tdb for taking this work and running with it!]]>

Just what I've been looking for
I will never understand what motivates people to not only listen to things they don't like, but make snarky comments about them. I'm sorry you are morbidly obese and have nothing better to do. I didn't feed you the fish and chips, mate.
Would it be possible to get the attributes for this sound? as I would like to use in in a trailer I am cutting.
Cool, thank u.
Brilliant! Cheers man!
Perfect, thanks.

Like you, we believe that we all must do more to protect our food supply. So Earthbound Farm not only sets higher standards, we exceed them.
Our commitment to safe food starts with our choice to farm organically, made over a quarter-century ago. It extends to the way we plant, grow, harvest, test, inspect, wash, handle, package and deliver fresh produce to your family today. Unparalleled in integrity and scope, our safety program is the most rigorous in the industry.
On Safer Ground
Before planting, we evaluate each field's natural history to uncover anything that might need special attention. Seeds are tested for potentially harmful bacteria (pathogens), including E. coli O157:H7, enterohaemorrhagic E. coli and salmonella, as are irrigation water, soil amendments and composted materials. From planting to harvest, each stage is inspected and audited to ensure it meets our strict food safety standards.
Testing One-Two
We lab-test freshly harvested greens for pathogenic E. coli, salmonella and shigella, and we destroy any greens that show signs of these bacteria. Only cleared greens enter our processing lines. All plant employees wear protective clothing to prevent unshielded contact with produce as equipment inspects, washes, and dries the delicate greens. Optical sorters remove stray pebbles and twigs, and the greens are passed through metal detectors as well. Then the salads are pre-washed in cold, lightly chlorinated water before packaging. At this point, the greens are lab-tested again. Salads shipped to store shelves have been food safety-tested twice.
Validated by the Best
Don't just take our word for it. Safety is unreliable without validation. We submit to the most stringent third-party validations in the industry, including the BRC Global Standards for Food Safety and more:
- BRC is the global gold standard of best practices in the food industry, and it requires detailed on-site audits.
- Our processing facility is certified organic by California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF).
- Independent certified laboratories perform continuous testing to verify the effectiveness of our sanitation program.
- We're a signatory to the California Leafy Green Products Handler Marketing Agreement (LGMA), a set of enhanced food safety standards for California-grown leafy greens.
Traceability to a "T"
We know where every leaf comes from in every salad we produce. Should we ever need to, we can instantly trace the farm and processing source of your greens just by looking at the code on each package.
A This letter tells us which facility the salad was packed in.
B This number tells us the date the salad was packed.
C This letter tells us which shift packed the salad.
D This number tells us which line produced the salad.
E This number tells us exactly what time the salad was packed.

Which sleeping pill should I take during a 22-hour flight?
- Q: I am going to be on a plane for 22 hours and need sleep. Which sleeping pill should I take?
- A: Generally, newer sleeping pills such as Ambien (zolpidem), Sonata (zaleplon), and Lunesta (eszopiclone) may be a good choice for travel. These medications help mimic a more natural sleep than older benzodiazepines, like Restoril (temazepam) and Xanax (alprazolam). Keep in mind that these medications are intended to help people get a full eight hours of sleep and can alter your reactions, memory, and thinking during that time. This may become an issue when responding to on-board announcements and instructions. These medications also interact with alcohol, so they should not be combined. Consult your healthcare provider to see if either the newer medications or older benzodiazepines may be an option for you. Another option is the supplement, Melatonin, which is involved in sleep and circadian rhythm. Sarah Lewis, PharmD

Excellent Interns - Virtual Intern Stephanie Guzman
Hello my name is Stephanie Guzman. I am a third year Agribusiness major and international agriculture certificate at the University of Georgia. I do not come from a farm background but got interested in agriculture through an internship with the College of Agriculture and Environmental Science as a senior in high school. My parents are both from Colombia and have raised me to always have a global perspective and consideration.
I interned with the USDA the summer right after my first year of at UGA via a scholarship called the Multicultural Scholarship funded by the Agricultural Research Service, but I was placed to work with AMS Dairy programs in IT. My first day was orientation, which was a busy day filling out paperwork and finally at the end of the day I was able to meet my boss and fellow Microsoft intern who is now a virtual intern like myself and a dear colleague of mine.
From the start I had the opportunity to take part in some very exciting and influential projects. The first of two main projects that I worked on throughout the summer was a collaborative effort to redesign and update the overall look of the USDA website. It was really a great experience to witness the collaboration amongst various agencies. The other was to learn about a new software called PCAT Public Comment Analysis Toolkit, which is a project funded by National Science Foundation to explain, educate and train others about its function and benefits. This software gave us the opportunity to understand comments from Farmers and Industry on various issues.
As an intern I had many opportunities not only to explore D.C. but to explore different parts of the USDA. My boss allowed me to take part in conferences, interns' sessions, orientations for other agencies that were of interest to me, and a career fair. I was also able to take advantage of free classes on Friday at the farmer's market regarding various gardening issues from plant pathology to the disappearance of bees and how we can address these issues and make a difference. I was provided professional business cards, allowed to partake in taste tests for packaged food that would be sent to the military, witness the growth of the people's garden, and help harvest some peppers and rosemary.
I lived right outside of D.C. in Silver Spring, Maryland with a roommate, and took the metro to work every morning to the D.C. office.
Benefits include but are not limited to:
Gain full time experience working five days a week for 40 hours.
Experience riding the metro to and from work.
Network with truly amazing people.
You should never be bored. If you have nothing to do, ask for work. If you find out about something interesting going on in D.C. such as a conference or seminar of your interest do not be afraid to ask your boss. When in doubt ASK! Be kind to everyone and maintain a level of professionalism.

8-16-04 - One week after two people were killed in an accident along US 75/69 north of Denison, family members of one of the victims are hoping to find the one survivor from the accident. They've been searching for days for Buckshot, a blue heeler mix that was inside the semi-truck when it crashed into an overpass just north of the Red River.
The dog belonged to Shawn Ray Wright of San Angelo. Wright and his 18-year-old girlfriend were northbound Tuesday morning when Shawn fell asleep at the wheel. Rescuers at the scene noticed the dog nearby and he's been spotted since in the area.
Shawn's family drove 400 miles late last week after the funeral, returning to the area hoping to find Buckshot. They say he's the last link they have to their son. They've put up flyers and combed the area, but so far, no sign of the 5-year-old dog.
If you can help their search, or have seen the dog, contact the Colbert EMS at 580-296-2000. A $200 reward is being offered.

Three teens charged in videotaped fatal attack on disabled man
BY KIM JANSSEN email@example.com July 15, 2012 3:26AM
Delfino Mora
Article Extras
Updated: August 17, 2012 7:06AM
It was a move that was as dumb as it was callous, according to a prosecutor's account.
But a teenage gang member's decision to let his buddy film him as he fatally punched a 62-year-old disabled man in the jaw came back to haunt him, authorities said.
Malik Jones, 16, now faces first degree murder charges after police saw the video of the attack posted on his Facebook wall. Two others also were charged with murder: Nicholas Ayala, 17, of the 6300 block of North Talman, and Anthony Malcolm, 18, of the 5500 block of North Broadway, police said.
Father-of-12 Delfino Mora fell, hit his head and died as a result of the attack early Tuesday morning in a West Rogers Park alley, it's alleged.
The video posted on Jones's Facebook shows Mora's skull make a sickening "crack" sound as it hit the concrete ground in the 6300 block of North Artesian, Assistant Cook County State's Attorney Sylvie Manaster said in court Sunday.
It was at least the third time over the past year that a Chicago attack was videotaped, leading to an arrest of one or more teens.
Manaster said Jones, of the 2400 block of West Thorndale, handed one of two accomplices his cell phone before the attack on Mora, who was scavenging for soda cans to make a little extra cash.
While his pal used the phone to film the attack, Jones asked Mora what he had in his pockets, then punched him in the jaw and fled, Manaster said.
Mora was found where he fell three hours later, unconscious with blood coming from a nostril and vomit next to his head, the prosecutor added. He was declared dead a day later at St. Francis Hospital.
But when a witness spotted the video on Jones' Facebook, the crime started to unravel, authorities said. The witness forwarded it to a second witness, who identified Jones as the person who battered him in a separate incident June 30, Manaster said.
Those witnesses contacted one of Mora's sons, who confirmed that it was Mora on the video, the prosecutor added. Police arrested Jones in south suburban Orland Hills on Saturday and recovered the cell phone with the video of Mora's attack.
Jones later confessed to throwing the punch that felled Mora, she added. He's a member of the Latin Kings street gang, with a tattoo of the words "Little Terror" on his left arm and the words "f--- you, pay me" on one of his hands, according to a police report.
Charged as an adult, he was denied bail Sunday by Judge Adam D. Bourgeois.
Mora's death left two families bereft.
At Mora's home a few blocks from the murder scene in the 6000 block of North Washtenaw, mourning relatives Sunday remembered Mora as a keen singer of Mexican Ranchera music and devoted dad to a dozen children and 23 grandchildren.
Badly injured 15 years ago in a workplace accident, Mora emigrated to Chicago in the 1980s from Michoacán, Mexico, and supplemented his meager disability payments by collecting soda cans early in the morning, said his son Emmanuel, 20.
"He was a very friendly, talkative guy — everyone liked him," Emmanuel Mora said, adding that his dad was a skilled musician who played guitar in a band called 'Los Coralillos.' "He was sarcastic and very funny," his son said.
One of six sons, Emmanuel Mora said he has had trouble sleeping since he saw the video of his dad's death.
"I've been having nightmares — it's been real hard but I have to be tough for my mother and my brothers," he said. "I don't know how anyone can be that cold-hearted."
Mora's devastated widow, Maria Carmen Mora, said through an interpreter that though Jones's arrest will not bring her husband of 40 years back, "at least (Jones) will stay locked up and can't do this to another family."
Jones's mother also was moved to tears by news of her son's arrest. Monique Hendrix said her son was a "known runaway" who lived with his father and "has a problem with authority and just does not listen."
"I don't know what to say...my heart goes out to this man's family," she said, adding that her son has been in trouble with the law before.
"This is what happens when you don't care about how you represent yourself out on the streets and you don't care who you hurt," she said.
Jones's father, Terry Jones, disputed Jones' mother's account of Jones's living arrangements, saying his son most recently lived with her, until he started living on the street a week before Memorial Day.
Terry Jones said he last spoke to his son on the phone on Friday and was planning to see him on Saturday — a plan that was disrupted when his son was arrested. He added that his son's troubles started with his gang afiliation, and worsened during a spell last year in juvenile detention in DuPage County.
A visitation for Mora will be held 2 p.m.- 8 p.m. Tuesday at Caribe Funeral Home, 3314 West Armitage. His family is collecting funds to send his remains to Mexico.
Donations can be made to Chase Bank account number 3038964317 in the name of Valentin Mora.

What is a Bengal tiger rescued from Texas to do on a cold Minnesota Day? Play of course. That is if you are Ekaterina and live at the Wildcat Sanctuary.
Your support brings joy to Ekaterina and every tiger that now calls TWS home.

With your generous help, they will all stay warm this winter!
Ekaterina was born in 2000 to an exploitative breeder in Ohio, along with another tiger, Sierra. This breeder charged the public to pet and have photos taken with adult lions and tigers that were declawed and often chained. The breeder was eventually shut down. Then in 2010, Ekaterina moved to a facility in Texas but that facility closed due to lack of funds. Now because of YOU, she will spend the rest of her life wild at heart at The Wildcat Sanctuary.
This season, you can give a gift that is both heartwarming and habitat warming. As most of you know, it gets cold in Minnesota!
Many winter days here are well below zero and it is our job to keep all of our cats warm and safe from the elements. Now YOU can be a Hero and help keep our residents warm and cozy all winter long!
As you might imagine, keeping more than 100 cats of all sizes and origins warm is a big job. Our electric bill alone will reach more than $3500 a month this winter and it will take hundreds of gallons of propane to operate the in-floor heating system in our five main animal buildings.
Won't you help? Donations of $100, $50 or even $25 will go a long way to insure each cat at the Sanctuary is provided with heated dens, bedding and temperature-controlled shelters. Your heartwarming gift means warm paws for Ekaterina and all the residents at the Sanctuary!
Even better, you can give your gift in someone's name and make them a Hero, too!
Any gifts received in excess of the program amount will be used toward daily care of the animals and operation of the sanctuary.

A White House memo appears to be the
reason why we haven't seen any new airworthiness directives issued
by the FAA over the past several weeks.
The Wall Street Journal reports a memo signed by White House
Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel on January 20 directed all federal
agencies to freeze any pending regulations that originated during
the Bush administration... until they could be reviewed by the new
sheriffs in town.
In addition to holding off decisions on such political footballs
as new mining and drilling standards, the rule also prevented the
FAA from issuing any new ADs over a two-week period.
FAA spokeswoman Laura Brown said the memo left the FAA's
authority in limbo... which was apparantly compounded by the
January 23 confirmation of Ray LaHood as US Transportation
Secretary. The spokeswoman described "an initial indication that
were considered rules," as defined by the White House, so "we had
to clarify the issue."
LaHood signed a new memo on February 5 that clarified the FAA's
authority, "allowing ADs to be issued," said DOT spokesman Bill
Mosley... who added the department is "looking at how to complement
the chief of staff's direction across our rulemaking actions."
Brown stressed flight safety was not compromised by the
oversight, stating if a particular situation warranted emergency
action "we could and would have done that." This week, the FAA
released four new proposals for ADs, though no final decisions have
been implemented.
The situation raised eyebrows among FAA oversight groups.
Richard Williams of Denver-based Aviation DataSource Inc. notes
previous changeovers between presidential administrations never
affected the FAA... but "[t]his time, they managed to stop the FAA
bureaucracy dead in its tracks."

testing in animals. When the pilot lots are ready for clinical testing in humans, the sponsor submits a Notice of Claimed Investigational Exemption for a New Drug; from that point on, the product is referred to as an investigational new drug (IND). A complete IND application includes (1) descriptions of the composition, source, and manufacturing process of the product; (2) quality control and the methods used to test the vaccine's safety, purity, and potency; (3) a summary of all laboratory and preclinical animal testing; (4) a detailed description of the proposed clinical study; and (5) names and qualifications of each clinical investigator. During a 30-day waiting period, the IND application is reviewed by the FDA to determine whether human subjects will be exposed to unwarranted risks (Hopps et al., 1988).
Although an establishment license (described below in more detail) is not required to begin a clinical trial, it is important that the manufacturer produces vaccine lots in a facility meeting current Good Manufacturing Practices. Plants that follow current Good Manufacturing Practices must demonstrate complete control over product components, equipment, manufacturing environment, record-keeping, and personnel. There should be no changes in the facility or manufacturing process that could alter any critical aspects of the product between the time that pivotal lots for clinical trials are prepared to establish vaccine efficacy and the time that lots are prepared for final licensing and distribution (Weber, 1991).
If the manufacturer is convinced that the vaccine is safe and effective after having performed clinical trials, an application for a license is made to CBER. The Product License Application (PLA) is an exhaustive document which includes (1) a detailed description of the manufacturing procedures, testing methods, and process controls for the product; (2) results of all laboratory tests performed on a specified number of lots (including stability testing); (3) results of clinical studies; and (4) proposed labeling (Hopps et al., 1988).
The newly created Office of Vaccines Research and Review within CBER is now responsible for the review of vaccine IND applications and PLAs. The internal review process entails a detailed examination and analysis of the submitted data for scientific content and accuracy and for compliance with applicable regulations. Individuals from other offices of CBER may also participate in the vaccine review and approval process.
The vaccine manufacturer must also submit an Establishment License Application (ELA). The ELA describes (1) the organization and personnel, (2) buildings and work areas, (3) equipment and systems, (4) control of components and containers, (5) production and process controls, (6) packaging and labeling controls, and (7) records and reports to be maintained (Hopps et al., 1988). The manufacturer must satisfy the FDA that it has complied with an extensive body of regulations termed Good Manufac-

Commercialized gifts are not what this season is about. The preparation and anticipation is definitely more appealing than the actual day itself. Nature is more uplifting than anything which can be found within the walls of a church or chapel. Take care of your parents. Life is so fleeting, and your memories of them will sustain you when they are gone. firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-31719113912938629492013-01-06T00:13:53.635Z2013-01-06T00:13:53.635ZWhat a pleasure to read this at the end of a long ...What a pleasure to read this at the end of a long wet day.

I've been trying to think about how to change my formerly (though family) Christmas traditions into the Midwinter/Solstice traditions I'd prefer to honor. The holidays extend into January with birthdays and Twelfth Night and then regular life picks up and . . . just when are we supposed to have down time and nurture ourselves?

I shared some of your world with friends, with attribution to you and a link back to your blog. Please let me know if you'd prefer I removed the post.

The solstice gathering brought tears to my eyes. Still in the country to see this is a blessing to me way across the water.

What differences are there between these bindings and the Salomon STH 12s?

This one has the toe height adjustment so you can raise and lower it depending on how worn out your boot soles are. as well as adjustable toe wings to make the perfect fit to your boot. It is a wee bit heavier: 2120 grams vs. 2050 grams.
