LITCHFIELD — Two of five brothers from Goshen who served during World War II were honored during American Legion Post 44 of Bantam's veteran of the month service at the All Wars Memorial on Saturday.
Recognized on a sunny but brisk morning were John A. Kubish and Frank P. Kubish. A memorial flag honoring the pair will fly over the All Wars Memorial until May 4. The flag was presented to Post 44 by Buzziena White of Cornwall Bridge, the niece of the honorees.

Chubby Checker Shows He's Still Got It at the Missouri State Fair [PHOTOS]
Chubby Checker is an American music legend, and on Tuesday night (Aug. 13) I was lucky enough to see him perform at the Pepsi Grandstand at the Missouri State Fair.
Chubby Checker is an American music legend, and on Tuesday night (Aug. 13) I was lucky enough to see him perform at the Pepsi Grandstand at the Missouri State Fair.
As you may or may not know, I love ice cream. A lot. I eat it constantly. Well at the Missouri State Fair, I kicked it up a notch, and ate ALL the ice cream there in one day.
One thing you can always count on is your electricity, right? Well, for some folks in our area, that is especially important. And there are also lots of great people working hard to bring it to you!
One event that's gone on this year at the Fair that's a little different is some jousting done by the Knights of Valour at the State Fair Arena.
Today is the first and final Wednesday of the Missouri State Fair. The National Weather Service is predicting temperatures to be in the upper 70s and lower 80s for the remainder of the Missouri State Fair.
The Missouri State Fair has a lot of free parking for fairgoers. However, there are three paid lots around the Fairgrounds that are very convenient and support community organizations.
When most of us think of the Missouri State Fair, we definitely think of fun! There are so many fun things to do that I thought I'd take a second to just highlight one of those buildings you might walk by and not think about too much, but you should definitely should drop by!
Today (Aug. 13) is day six of the 2013 Missouri State Fair , and it's the third annual Missouri Farmers Care Food Drive Tuesday. You can save $4 on gate admission, today with canned food donations. Donations will be accepted at the Centennial Gate and when you bring your canned food items, you'll get $1 off gate admission coupon per can up to $4 for adults, $3 for senior ticket and $1 for child. Be sure to swing by the Ag Building to see the Canstruction of the massive mural of FFA Emblem.
On Monday night at the Missouri State Fair (Aug. 12), I was a very lucky young man. I was able to check another Bucket List item off the list: going up in a hot air balloon. I met up with Jim Wolters from Jefferson City, Mo. I had introduced myself to him and asked if there was any chance I could go up with him in his hot air balloon, and he agreed.
There is so much stuff going on at the Missouri State Fair that is so important to people in our area. Farming, agriculture and youth in farming are so very vital to our way of life. So of course, a lot of what goes on at the Fair is showing off how great they all are! These farmers and their families really work so incredibly hard to produce such wonderful livestock and product, and it's a great showcase for all their talents.

For other works of the same name, go here.City of Angels is a 1998 film starring Nicolas Cage (far from his Nicolas Rage roots), Meg Ryan, and Sarah McLachlan's music. It's actually a remake of a classic German film, Wim Wenders' 1987 drama Wings of Desire, which is the root of a lot of criticism thrown at this film. Cage plays an angel who falls in love with Meg Ryan's character, a doctor, and chooses to fall from grace and become human. What follows pretty much falls under the Tear Jerker category; if you like it, you like it, but if you don't, oh ho ho.If you want to watch the movie, reading the tropes that it contains will probably ruin it for you, so spoilers ahoy!

? about FirstLab or drug testing... - page 5
Just wanted to know how often you get selected for testing. I am really short on money and need to budget an amount for these random drug screens. Any info would be greatly appreciated!... Read More
- 0Jan 15, '10 by foranemanIn order to find out what tests are done under each option you first determine the lab doing them. I believe that all of firstlab participants send their specimens to LabCorp. Just look at your pre-paid lab form, it will be printed at the top (the lab name and address where the sample is sent. Then, next to each test option there is a number (six digit number if labcorp).
Option 1 might be 764875 for example.
If you have Labcorp, go to the shortcut URL below (takes you to a labcorp page) and enter the 6 digit number into the search:
The specific test done will be described. If you have another lab, go to their website and look for their test menu and do the same.

Good luck.

- 1sorry meant from first lab to fortes. they're a business after all and gotta make money.
- 0Jun 17, '10 by MagsulfateQuite sure I've already answered this question, and it will be interesting to go back and see how I answered it in the past. Here's my answer today
The bottom line is, they are only going to test your urine for the biproducts of any drugs or chemicals that are against the rules of your program. So, with that said, it doesn't really matter what each test number includes.
With that said, if you still are dying to find out so you can try to screw around the system, then just call the 1-800 number on the lab form and ask them what test number blah blah blah tests for and they will tell you!
- 0Jul 21, '10 by luvcheRecently, our Peer program here switched from LabCorp to Clinical Reference lab. We still use First Lab to call in for testing. The options on the LabCorp requisition used to have test numbers next to them. We always get option one (as far as i know). That test was # 764875 and this is the info: MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL PROFILE
Adulteration (dilution) testing - creatinine, specific gravity, pH; amphetamines; barbiturates; benzodiazepines; cannabinoids (THC metabolite); cocaine (as benzoylecgonine); ethanol (alcohol); meperidine (Demerol®); methadone (Dolophine®); opiates (codeine, morphine, hydrocodone, hydromorphone); phencyclidine (PCP); propoxyphene (Darvon®); tramadol
It may be different for different states. The new lab (clinical Reference Lab) does not have test numbers listed next to options. But we still always get chosen for option 1. So i assume it is the same (or similar) profile. Probably switched lab due to costs.

That means the seasonal fight to control Minnesota's mosquito population is on.
A helicopter from the Metro Mosquito Control District dropped anti-mosquito pellets over a wetland area near I-494 and Dodd Road in Egan.
Photo: Jerry Holt, Star Tribune
Ice was still on the larger metro lakes Tuesday, but there was no better time to get after the mosquitoes. In its first such foray of the year, the Metropolitan Mosquito Control District deployed three helicopters across the region, aiming for 1,500 acres where three varieties of mosquitoes might be developing in snowmelt from eggs laid last summer.
"They're available to hatch as soon as the snow starts to melt," MMCD spokesman Mike McLean said. "A lot of them are found from here all the way into the tundra. They're well-adapted to winter."
Tuesday's spring offensive was about a week later than normal, due to lingering cold and snow, but a week earlier than last year's.
McLean added that despite the 16th-snowiest Twin Cities winter on record (so far), standing water after the melt and even some stream flows are about average or even below. State climatologist Greg Spoden said that's likely because much of the winter's snow fell during very cold weather and thus had a relatively low water content.
"Of course that could all change if we get a good soaking rain in the next couple of days," McLean said.
The helicopters dropped pellets of methoprene, which prevents mosquito larvae from becoming flying, biting, breeding adults while leaving them available as a food source to other aquatic creatures, McLean said.
The targeted species — which carry the incriminating names Aedes excrucians, Aedes abserratus and Aedes stimulans — can grow into large, aggressive adults that can live one long generation, into late June or early July, McLean said. That's when they're usually succeeded by the daintier but more numerous and annoying Aedes vexans, a warmer-season floodwater-breeder.
MMCD workers actually attack mosquitoes through the winter, placing anti-mosquito materials by hand on top of ice in cattail areas. That stymies a species that lays its eggs on the water and develops while attached to the roots of cattails through the winter.
MMCD spends about $1.8 million of its $17 million annual budget on helicopter operations that cover 200,000 acres in the seven-county metro area. It works to control 16 of the 51 mosquito species that have been identified in Minnesota — the ones that bite, that is — as well as ticks and blackflies, some of which are known to carry diseases.
McLean said deer ticks, which carry Lyme disease, are already out and "on the move" in thick underbrush and wooded areas. People should check for the ticks, which are smaller than the better-known wood ticks, on their clothing, themselves and their dogs after any outing, he said.
The MMCD will examine bugs people send them in vials or attached to tape and determine their identity, free of charge, he said. The address is 2099 University Av. W., St. Paul, 55114; people can also call 651-645-9149 for mailing instructions.

Keep in mind that Rogers played for Tech while Patterson played for Vols. with Tyler Bray. maybe it's Patterson who should be drafted in 3rd at best.
The numbers you posted for Rogers were from 2011 while he was at Tennessee. Not when he played for Tennessee Tech in 2012.
If Rogers did not have the drug issues, yes he would be right there with Patterson, Allen, and others. But he did fail those tests, and the others have not. My point is that why would a team take a gamble on Rogers rather than taking a WR that is just as talented that doesn't have the baggage? And realisticly, we know the Texans aren't going to be the team that takes that (unnecessary) gamble.
Were looking for a coach that...works with great energy and enthusiasm and very positive in his approach. -

The latest live action trailer for Catherine seems to suggest that Atlus' upcoming RPG has something to say about the state of the modern Japanese man. Taking a departure from the scandalous trailers released previously, the latest teaser asks men and women on the street about their thoughts on marriage.
"So anyway, do you want to get married to him/her?" That's what the Japanese text at the beginning of this new Catherine trailer asks.
"I do, once in my life," "Mmm, not yet," "I really, really want to," "I have no interest," "I want to," come the replies. The man in the last couple is asks, "Get married? Married? Getting married is good, isn't it?"
The text pops back up, "Well, do you want to marry your current girlfriend?"
"Just spit it out!" lectures the woman as she pushes her boyfriend away.

The talent is there for sure.
I like a lot of the elements about this. The shading is good, the lighting is good, but the left arm looks really small. Or the right arm looks really big. The rest of the anatomy seems correct, and I am no artist, not by any means, but that left arm is tiny.
Or maybe it's at an odd angle. I cant tell. There is something off about it though. It's the first thing I notice when I look at the image and it keeps drawing my eye back to it.
Other than that, this is a great job.

Sheriff says probe of San Bernardino gov't ongoing
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. San Bernardino County sheriff's officials say they and other law enforcement agencies have been investigating possible criminal activity within the city's government.
In a release Thursday, Sheriff-Coroner Rod Hoops says the investigation began at the request of city officials several months ago.
Hoops says the investigation is ongoing and declined to release any details.
He says the San Bernardino Police Department and district attorney's office are also involved in the multi-agency investigation.
Earlier this week, elected officials in San Bernardino cited budget woes in authorizing the city attorney to seek federal bankruptcy protection. That makes it the third California city poised to do so in less than two weeks.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
They cut spending, sold assets and even asked public employees to take a financial hit.
But budget woes still mounted for San Bernardino city officials. And by the beginning of this week, vendors hadn't been paid and cash was running out to make payroll, threatening to shut down the city.
That prompted elected officials in the city of 210,000 people to make the sudden move of authorizing the city attorney to seek federal bankruptcy protection, becoming the third California city poised to do so in less than two weeks.
"This city is in a dire financial situation," Interim City Manager Andrea Travis-Miller said in a statement Thursday. "While many measures have been instituted over the last four years to balance the city's budget, our financial situation has continued to decline and that has brought us to a critical point."
The contentious vote Tuesday night took many by surprise and set the city apart from other California municipalities where such an action came only after months of consideration.
Bankruptcy experts say the decision in San Bernardino - some 60 miles east of Los Angeles - could sound an alarm to cities across the state and country that are grappling with weak property and sales tax revenues as their pension obligations continue to rise.
"People are waiting to see whether these are the exceptions to the rule or whether we have a new trend," said Jim Spiotto, a Chicago attorney who tracks municipal bankruptcies. "I do think it may be something of a wake-up call."
San Bernardino is facing a budget shortfall of about $45 million and annual deficits over the next five years. That's even after the city slashed the workforce by 20 percent over the past four years and negotiated $10 million in annual concessions from employees in each of the past three years.
The problems stem from weak property and sales tax revenues combined with escalating pension costs and a loss of state redevelopment funds, city officials said.
On Tuesday night, City Attorney James Penman told the City Council that budget officials had presented falsified documents for 13 of the past 16 years, masking the city's deficit.
He told reporters a day later that he believed an outside investigation was needed in February but had not realized the scope of the problem until this month.

Ristar (known as Ristar the Shooting Star in Japan) is a quirky little platform game by Sonic Team about a (literal) star-man on a mission to free his superhero father and solar system from the clutches of a space pirate appropriately named Greedy. It boasts lush graphics that do as much as they possibly can with the Mega Drive/Genesis's capability, an excellent soundtrack, and innovative gameplay mechanics: Ristar has stretchy arms like rubber bands, and he uses these to perform a host of actions, including latching onto surfaces at any angle, slingshotting himself into enemies, and grabbing, swinging around, and flying off of poles. Ristar made an appearance on both the Sega Mega Drive and the Game Gear, and more recently has shown up on the Wii Virtual Console.If that funny little yellow thing in the picture looks familiar, it should. Ristar derives from the same original character model (a kind of rabbit thing with prehensile ears) as Sonic the Hedgehog, before he became, you know, a hedgehog. If you pay attention to the game's art style and soundtrack, you can see some other similarities to the Sonic series besides the protagonist's appearance. Although this game never took off the way its estranged relative did (it didn't even get a sequel), it's still widely considered to be an excellent game.

5 Strange Facts About Everyday Food
Subscribe to our newsletter
Foodstuffs: more than meets the eye. You may think you know your meals well enough but every rose has its thorn, and sometimes the thorn comes in the form of an exploding snack.
What follows are only five strange facts about the food we eat on a regular basis. But a larger truth remains: every thing we eat has a shady history, not unlike your uncle with all those dresses in his closet.
Bananas are More Radioactive than Three Mile Island (Sort Of)
Bananas, otherwise known as nature's delicious phallic symbol, contain potassium-40, which is the largest source of radioactivity in both animals and people. Now, every food you eat contains some level of radioactivity. However, bananas are special because they are often used to compare radiation levels that occur in power plants in what is known as the banana equivalent dose test (BED).
Bananas are far from the most radioactive food found in nature (that high honor goes to the brazil nut), but they are common enough throughout most of the populated world to cause some mischief. In more than one instance they have set off radiation sensors at US ports.
On March 28, 1979, the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant suffered a partial meltdown. No deaths or injuries were reported to have resulted from the event. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission, when investigating any potential aftermath of the meltdown, discovered that milk contaminated by the meltdown had 1/75th the radioactivity of a single banana, rendering the event more or less harmless, at least from the perspective from drinking milk.
Readers who are overly cautious, easily scared or both, should take into consideration that this doesn't mean that bananas are all that dangerous to begin with, so do feel free to keep eating them without fear.
Potatoes are Poisonous
Speaking of things that are deadlier than a nuclear meltdown, potatoes.
The sprouts (or "eyes" if you're a creepy kind of person) of potatoes contain the chemical solanine, as do green areas of the potato itself. Unlike the radiation found in bananas, solanine can be a cause of concern if consumed in too high a quantity. While one or two affected potatoes won't affect you, the chemical is used as a natural defense for many plants and can cause things like sore throat, vomiting, diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headache and dizziness in mild cases of poisoning. In more severe cases you may experience paralysis, jaundice or death. So yeah, look out for that stuff.
In America there hasn't been a case of solanine poisoning resulting from potato consumption in over fifty years. In less developed countries however, that isn't the case. Much of the problem stems from how the potatoes are handled. By keeping your potatoes in a cool, dark place, washing them thoroughly before cooking and peel deep enough to remove any green bits, you too can remain among the living.
Gum is Outlawed in Singapore
Some people don't consider gum to be food. It can be safely argued that many of those people live in Singapore, where gum is banned under law.
As early as 1983, lawmakers in Singapore debated banning the nuisance that is bubble gum. This arose because the litter it caused had become a problem. Beyond simple issues with the wrapper, gum itself could be found on door handles, under seats and tables, on sidewalks, or anywhere else that had a flat surface. Essentially the entirety of Singapore had become an elementary school kid's desk.
The ban states that gum is not to be sold or imported to the country through any means, nor is to be used in private or public. After a brief grace period given to shop-keeps to sell off their remaining stock, bubble gum simply vanished from the country. A black market for gum never arose (most likely because, you know, it's just bubble gum) and while some people travel out of the country to get their Bubble Yum fix it never returned to the public at large.
Only recently was the ban revised to exclude "therapeutic gum," or gum obtained by prescription (think nicotine). This gum can only be sold by pharmacists who face a three-thousand dollar fine if they don't follow strict regulations in selling the controlled substance. Likewise, anyone found violating the ban could face similar fines, "Corrective Work Orders," or jail time.

Introducing Inishmaan
The least-visited of the islands, with the smallest population, Inishmaan (Inis Meáin) is a rocky respite. Early Christian monks seeking solitude were drawn to Inishmaan, as was the author JM Synge, who spent five summers here over a century ago. The island they knew largely survives today: stoic cows and placid sheep, impressive old forts, and warm-hearted locals, who speak Irish to each other exclusively. Children usually leave the island for college and few return.
Inishmaan's scenery is breathtaking, with a jagged coastline of startling cliffs, empty beaches and fields where the main crop seems to be stone.The island is roughly 5km long by 3km wide. Most of its buildings are spread out along the road that runs east–west across the centre of the island. Inishmaan's down-to-earth islanders are largely unconcerned with the prospect of attracting tourists' euros, so facilities are few.

iPhone mobile payments now as simple as buying a sticker
One of the early big doubts many had about the iPhone's chances for success in Japan and Asia was its lack of an electronic wallet function. Softbank has just answered that question with a piece of tech that may soon find its way to the U.S.
Deceptively simple, yet incredibly powerful in practice, Softbank's new NFC (Near-Field Communications) stickers attach to the back of the iPhone and allows users to pay for goods and services on the go. When depleted, the sticker can be recharged with electronic cash at any time. While Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile have announced plans to release NFC mobile payments in the U.S. sometime in the next 16 months, Softbank will release its mobile payment stickers in February for about $36 each.

U.S. government readying to carpet bomb Guam with toxic mice
The brown tree snake is one slippery character. After hitching a ride on military transports after World War II they landed on Guam and have been systematically overtaking the island ever since. The situation is so dire the government is planning to reign a hail fire of poisoned mice over the island to kill the brown beasts.
The snakes were not native to Guam, but upon arrival they decided they loved it so much they've now multiplied to some 2 million hungry creatures. With no natural predators to wipe them out they've destroyed native bird populations and pretty much taken over. Before the snakes slither on over to Hawaii, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is readying to lock and load with the one thing they know can kill the snakes — acetaminophen filled mice.
As bizarre as it sounds, plain old acetaminophen is highly toxic to the brown snake, and they have no problem eating any prey that lands in their habitat — whether they killed it or not. Since humans aren't at risk from the medicine and any other wildlife that might have been at risk have pretty much been destroyed by the snakes, the poisoned mice plan is being readied for deployment sometime this April or May.
The mice drop isn't just about opening the doors and heaving dead mice out. Scientists have been working for a while to perfect a strategy that targets the snakes so any other native species on the island won't be affected and mice won't hit the pavement and rot. Dead neonatal mice loaded with the poison will be fixed with floatation devices and streamers designed to catch the little snake killing bombs in the tree tops where the snakes live.
In the first assault, the mice will be hand dropped in the jungle surrounding Anderson Air Force Base. The goal is not to eradicate but to try to contain the population growth of the snakes — especially in an area where they could easy hop on the planes coming and going.
If this sounds extreme and complicated consider this — not only have these snakes wiped out most of the local birds, they also bite humans. While they aren't venomous, not many people want to be bitten by snakes that have no fear of human habitats (that means your house) and tourism to Guam has taken a hit. If that's not bad enough the snakes also climb power poles and have been known to knock out power.
While this definitely makes life on Guam less pleasant, government officials are even more afraid the snakes will use the same devious tactic of stowing away on planes or ships and make it over to Hawaii. If they make it to Hawaiian shores, the results could be much like the scenario on Guam — only more expensive and devastating to a State that relies on its natural beauty and wildlife for tourism. Snakes that can grow up to 10 feet long kind of ruin that beautiful postcard picture.
According to the Associated Press:
A 2010 study conducted by the National Wildlife Research Center found brown tree snakes would cause between $593 million and $2.14 billion in economic damage each year if they became established in Hawaii like they are on Guam. Power outages would cause the most damage, followed by a projected decline in tourism. The cost of treating snake bites would account for a small share."
Fortunately, very few snakes have made it to Hawaii to date. In fact strict quarantine measures have meant that none have made it in the past 17 years. The mouse drop in Guam will be part of ongoing measures to keep the record going in keeping Hawaii safe, and containing their damaging effect on Guam's infrastructure.
Is this plan just a little bit creepy? You betcha. But for residents of Guam it sure beats waking up to a brown snake in your bed.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg school board will delve into details of proposals for 10 new magnets and other choice options at its Tuesday meeting.
Last month, administrators outlined plans for new schools and programs such as an energy-focused engineering high school at UNC Charlotte, a new Montessori magnet in Huntersville and several new programs focused on science, technology, engineering and math, known as STEM. They said they would bring more details, including costs, for an in-depth discussion Tuesday.
The new options, scheduled for a Dec. 11 vote, are intended to help CMS compete with a growing number of charter schools and give students options that can prepare them for high-demand careers. Families will begin filing 2014-15 magnet applications in January.
Tuesday's meeting is also the first chance for the public to address the board since last week's release of test scores indicating that students across North Carolina aren't nearly as well prepared for college and careers as the old, easier exams had indicated.
The meeting will start at 6 p.m. in the meeting chamber at the Government Center, 600 E. Fourth St. People who want to speak can call 980-343-5139 by noon Tuesday or sign up at the meeting. It airs live on CMS-TV Cable 3 and is streamed online.

Ten things we argue about in carsComment on this story
London - For many of us, a car journey means one inevitable thing – at some point you'll have a row with the other occupants. And it seems that just about anything can set us off.
Now a UK survey has revealed the biggest causes of in-car friction and, perhaps unsurprisingly, rows over which route to take top the list.
Driving too fast, not asking for directions when lost and children being too noisy are next on the list, compiled by the AA and Populus.
The survey, based on responses from more than 23 000 AA members, found that two in three people argue in the car, with those aged 18 to 24 more likely to row than the over-65s.
People in Northern Ireland get hottest under the collar while in the car, with the least-argumentative car occupants being those from South-West England. Disputes about knowing the best route were the top cause of argument for all age groups, with driving too fast being the second-biggest cause for all but the 35-44s who were more concerned about noisy children.
AA president Edmund King said: "Long journeys often get fraught at times. The key thing is taking time to prepare well for the journey which should help keep arguments at bay."
1. Knowing the way to go
2. Driving too fast
3. Not asking for directions
4. Noisy children
5. Shouting at other drivers
6. Temperature in the car
7. Not agreeing on where to eat
8. Not agreeing on what to listen to
9. Topic of conversation
10. Driving too slowly

There�s nothing like walking the Duluth Lakewalk during the summer and being near the Aerial Lift Bridge.
Today, I was able to see the John G Munson come through with a load of limestone. This ship will then move up the Northshore to Two Harbors to load iron ore. Our skyline continues to also be known for its many grain elevators (hence the bible reference choses here).
[Invest in Many Ventures] �Ship your grain across the sea; after many days you may receive a return.� (Ecclesiastes 11:1)
Personal Challenge . . .
I tend to get all stressed out before making a big trip. As soon as we hit the road, relaxation sets in and I�m even able to get fairly good sleep while on the road. Apparently the most stressful part of this trip has happened and now I�m already quite a bit more laid back. As soon as the mail comes with the meds we had hoped would arrive last Friday, we�ll be ready to hit the road. My active worship played the biggest role in taking this painful stress away. Praise God! Please pray for continued safe travel.
I�m already looking forward to working in smaller segments of (rest stop) fitness and getting my SparkPoints thanks to my recent investment in an android HTC phone. (Thanks, Mimi!)
Freggies . . .
With the 5% Summer Challenge, I am well on my way to another wonderful freggie day for my team . . . I think yesterday�s 35 freggies may have been a record-setting day for me, yet within my 1200-1550 calorie range.
May you find the beauty in your world and may you also make sure you enjoy at least five freggies (fruits and vegetables) each day.
This waterfall at Amnicon�s Wisconsin State Park is so named �Now and Then� because this time of year, it�s normally a mere trickle (if anything). By August, it is usually gone! Perhaps this means we�re no longer in drought.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! (2 Corinthians 5:17)
In the meantime, this weeks 5% Challenge is all about eating freggies (fruits and vegetables). This is one challenge I can so shine at as the more veggies I can eat (with some protein and fat), the more satisfied I feel after a meal. This is one of the primary reasons I so enjoy a good buffet or salad bar and find that 75% (or more) of my plate is made up of freggies as I reluctantly forgo the bread and cracker basket.
I can most always count on my servings of veggies to be substantially fewer in calories than the fruits (which I try to enjoy in moderation). Warning: Don�t be surprised if I record two dozen freggies in any day. During the last challenge, over a two week period, I averaged about 21 freggies a day. Today, I have enjoyed a wide array of freggies:
� Spinach (5 cups+)
� Portabella mushrooms
� Green Onions
� Honeydew Melon
� Yellow Onions
� Mango
� Banana
� Strawberries
� Kiwi
� Bing Cherries
� Lemon
� Marinara Sauce
� Tomatoes
� Romaine (2 cups+)
� Red Cabbage (2 cups)
� Broccoli
� Green Pepper
� Yellow Pepper
� Red Pepper
� Red Potato (not counted for this challenge)
� Radishes
This is a much larger variety than I would normally have in one day, but I am preparing to take holiday soon . . . so I�m using this time to eat, drink and be merry in the healthiest of ways. What a great week for a freggie week!
Have a good freggie week, my Spark Friends! . . . try to make sure you are working in the recommended five or more freggies each day. May you also find time to smell the roses (enjoy some beautiful scenery)!
My status line yesterday said it all: EHAGFELD is planning a day of family and food with breakfast date with mate, lunch with my missions group, and dinner with Dad and cousins at the Happy Panda! Making quality connections count!
Breakfast with my love really was within reason at about 400 calories: 2 eggs, 2 bacon and a dry English muffin with coffee and water.
Before lunch, my weekly weigh-in at my weight watcher class while being in Week Two of a six-week maintenance plan. I�m right within the target weight I need to remain at! Lunch came in at about 500 calories and was Moo Sho Pork where I enjoyed one light lunch amidst some great conversation with two friends in my missions group friends. I have possibly two or three meals in my �take home� meal for the home later. My group specialized in making mittens. We made about 500 pair of mittens during one ministry year. Last January, some of our group made pies for a community dinner:
My cousin and I linked up with my Dad before dinner to review old family photos and verify people, place and stories. My dad had taken several of the photos my cousin had scanned from a visit with his sister. How cool is that! . . . I�m carry a family tradition of photography. (smile, smile . . . I guess we all are with as many digital camera as there are these days.)
I really do believe I must have been born with chop sticks in my hand (snicker, snicker). I love Asian food of all kinds and tonight, I got to enjoy a plate where 75% of my two plates was made up of veggies while my meat was a basic chicken that I dipped in a spicy hot chili paste with a little soy sauce. So yummy! Near the dessert table, I nearly missed the Kim Chee, a Korean pickled cabbage staple at just about every meal . . . so Good! Caution: If you�re squeamish, if you saw the food channel�s special on how Kim Chee is made, you probably wouldn�t eat it (think fermented (aka rotten) cabbage) . . . but it�s oh so good! By the way, the dessert I picked up was for my Dad. I figure I ate about 600 calories and only exceeded one of my monitored nutrients with nearly a two day supply: sodium.
Families are the foundation for how we live life and grow our core values within the faiths we actively express. May you celebrate the blessings in your family.
Today�s labels reading, as part of my 5% challenge week, took one of my seven nutrient out of whack thanks to its high sodium (salt) content: 1 T Ketchup and 6 oz hot salsa (as a salad dressing). This one day high should not be a problem, as I:
1) Have a relatively low normal sodium count from my last medical test and
2) Typically drink 18-24 glasses of water every day
Meanwhile, most of my nutrients were within range today:
That said, how about a look at my critters enjoying a few peanuts and sunflower seeds:
I hope you're meeting your goals. Feel free to share your love or hate relationship with squirrels. They certainly can be rascals!
. . . And her name is NorthwoodsMom8!
NorthwoodsMom8 is the first SparkFriend I�ve been able to meet in person. Together, we broke bread, shared SparkPeople and our SparkJourney, met new friends (dining nearby and also on a weight loss journey), and last (but not least) prayed together. Our God is truly an awesome God!
Afterwards, I stopped by Amnicon Falls and hiked the area. Here�s a new waterfalls that I have yet to show on my SparkPages. Welcome to Snake Pit Falls.
In Ezekiel 34:26, we are promised "showers of blessings." God blessed our lives today. I have every confidence that God will continue to place key people in our path.
I hope you have special people in your life who are a blessing.

Now, why on earth wouldn't you believe that red light therapy works out to cure some illness? Just because you prefer not to believe it doesn't matter. My skin disorders have been treated in a month of so. Firstly, I was laughing when my mother advised me to use this red light treatment lamp.

I used to say – if your business operates in China, you are likely violating the FCPA in one way or another. Permit me to revise my admonition: if your business operates in India, you are likely violating the FCPA in one way or another.
What has happened? From my own anecdotal experiences, which I know is not based on reliable sampling techniques, there appears to be a confluence of several factors: (1) a spike in corporate self-disclosures involving potential bribery in India; (2) a political environment which is still wrestling with the commitment to anti-corruption enforcement versus an attitude of "everyone does it, so grab yours now"; and (3) increased global business expansion into India as a more welcoming environment than China or Russia.
India is an attractive country for business expansion. By 2050, the Indian economy is predicted to exceed the size of China's economy. India is steadily increasing its annual growth rate, just below that of China.
India's economy has been closed to certain types of foreign businesses – retail and professional services stand out as the most significant. The Indian economy operates with a web of third-party agents and distributors around the country, especially third-parties who assist companies in securing government approvals such as permits, licenses, customs clearance, health inspections, zoning approvals and any other government regulatory function. In addition, there is well-established network of third-party agents who assist companies in the direct sales to Indian governments.
These third-party and distributor networks are a high-risk proposition for most companies. The benefits of entering India can be enormous, if your company is in the high-growth sectors for future expansion. The countervailing risks, however, can be significant.
India continues to hash out its political stance on corruption. On the one hand, the Indian public is adamant in its opposition to corruption. On the other hand, many Indian families with government employees know and expect certain "benefits" to improve their own economic situation.
India's Transparency Internal ranking continues to hover in the 90s (out of 184 countries). Political protests continue in India demanding tough, anti-corruption reforms. Social activist Anna Hazare headed this movement starting in 2010. Anti-corruption legislation has stalled in the Indian Parliament. India continues to suffer corruption scandals in the defense industry, airline industry, and mining.
A number of companies have disclosed investigations of potential corruption law violations involving conduct in India. These include: (1) Wal-Mart; (2) Finmeciana; (3) AB InBev; and (4) Beam, Inc. Within the last few years, four major companies settled anti-corruption cases with the Department of Justice and the SEC involving conduct in India: (1) Pride International; (2) Oracle; (3) Diageo; and (4) Tyco.
Given the complex economic and political landscape in India, companies have to enter the country with their eyes wide open and with an anti-corruption compliance program tailored to the specific risks of the Indian economy. It is a careful balancing act but one that can be navigated.

I used to think the UK billion system made more sense - a thousand thousands is a million, and a million millions is a billion, thus as numbers got bigger we reduced the scale. Sadly, according to wikipedia at least, a trillion in old numbers is not a billion billion, but a mere million billion, and a quadrillion just a million of those. In other words it's just as stupid as the new numbers, except old numbers stop scaling at a million rather than a thousand.
I suspect that's why my maths teacher told me there's no such thing as a trillion, cos they ballsed it up.

Question about political protests. Are sit-ins legal?
I'm wondering because UKuncut stage a lot of sit-ins and didn't know what the law said about their actions.
This kind of follows a discussion I was having with someone who had little sympathy for those who got arrested after their jaunt in Fortnum and Mason.
Edit: Also; who is more responsible? The corporations who actively avoid paying tax or the government for not closing the loopholes?

This is very true. Very good point.
I'm now more unsure than ever!
Aggravated Trespass (scroll down for full information)
Section 68(1) CJPOA formerly provided that a person commits the offence of aggravated trespass if he trespasses on land in the open air and, in relation to any lawful activity which persons are engaging in or are about to engage in on that or adjoining land in the open air does there anything which is intended by him to have the effect:
Most of the budget deficit was caused by us buying huge shares in the banks, right?
And the share prices of the bits we own are rising much slower then our interest repayments, right?
So why don't we start the job now of selling it all back to the private sector. I'm sure we'd find buyers.
The quicker we do this the better, surely, as we're losing money every day we hold onto those shares.
Anyone want to answer to my question?

There are several things that are always in short supply at animal shelters â space, volunteers, time, and especially money. Animal shelters are always in need of monetary donations to support their operations, as many of them are non-profit. Giving is a gracious act, and if you are an animal lover then you may want to focus your efforts on various rescue organizations. There are many ways to raise money for animal shelters and now it has become easier and even more convenient to do it electronically using the internet.
Wealth Creations Network â this is hands-down my personal favorite method to raise money for animal shelters simply because, as a member, you have the ability to raise a large amount of money not just once, but EVERY month thereafter on a residual basis. The membership cost is zero-out-of-pocket with the only requirement to qualify for a monthly residual income (currently around $2,000 per month) is to find just 6 like-minded people to join â EVER! So if you have 6 people working at your shelter or you have 6 friends who just love animals and want to be able to donate generously, imagine how quickly that extra monthly income could add up for you and your favorite rescue organization!
My name is Susan Lucas and I am a proud affiliate member of Wealth Creations Network. I have 10 rescued cats at home and have fostered over 30 kittens so I know first-hand that the costs incurred to care for the needs of these animals is astounding. My passion is to help animal shelters and members of the rescue community overcome their financial struggles by connecting them with an effective, dependable method to supplement their donations and income. The animals are relying on us⦠so what are you waiting for? Please join me at Wealth Creations Network where you not only learn how to make money online for shelter animals, but you learn how to make money online free!

The popularity of the TV show, The Office, movies like Office Space, and Dilbert cartoons owes a lot to the depiction of bosses who are jerks. Friends and colleagues often mention that their bosses are jerks, but that they are completely unaware of how awfully they treat others. How can that be?
Problems With The Boss
Self-Protective Biases. People want to believe that they are good, smart, kind, etc., and there are many perceptual biases in place that help protect self-image. One such bias is the Actor-Observer Effect whereby actors (in this case, your Boss) tend to make situational attributions to explain their behavior. So, when your boss acts like a jerk, there is a tendency for him/her to see it caused by the situation ("I'm simply doing my job") or seeing YOU as the problem.
Defense mechanisms, such as rationalization ("there was nothing else I could do;" "my behavior is not so bad") and projection ("You are making me do this to you!") also come into play.

Vital win for Blackpool
Blackpool earned a priceless victory in their fight against the drop as they shocked play-off chasing Wigan 2-0 in the Sky Bet Championship.
The Latics could have booked their place in the top six with a victory, but Uwe Rosler's men were below-par across the board and squandered an excellent opportunity to take the lead when Martyn Waghorn saw his penalty saved midway through the first half.
Goals after half-time from Andy Keogh and Stephen Dobbie sealed victory for the visitors, who completed a double over their Lancashire rivals.

Liverpool defender Sebastian Coates has arrived at Sunderland's training camp ahead of his proposed one-year loan move to the Stadium of Light.
Uruguay international Coates has undergone a medical in the North East and has spent the day at the club's training facility while he and the club wait for the deal to be completed.
Coates joined Liverpool from Uruguayan-side Nacional in 2011 and has made 24 appearances for the Merseyside-club, scoring twice.
Sunderland are also waiting to complete the signing of Inter Milan attacking midfielder Ricky Alvarez, again on a one-year loan deal.
Alvarez, who completed his medical on Sunday, has flown to Argentina for international duties while the deal is being finalised.
Two players appear to be making way for the new arrivals, with French centre-back Valentin Roberge on the verge of completing a one-year loan deal to Ligue 1 side Stade de Reims.
This comes after Sunderland confirmed on Monday that fellow French defender Modibo Diakite had left the club by mututal consent.

Luxury Tropical Island Yacht Concept : A Private Paradise
Everyone dreams of exceptional things wainting to happen, of memories waiting to be gathered and of creative ways to explore the surrounding world. This fascinating tropical island yacht project is a dream come true for its designers, the UK based yacht design company Yacht Island Designs. The floating tropical island would be made out of steel and would measure 90 meters in length, plenty of room to build a luscious and luxurious environment that would sail away in the sunset. A volcano built on the yacht guides water flowing down to the pool, where huts and luscious greenery surround it. The concept yacht was called the Tropical Island Paradise. A retractable beach deck in the back of the yacht presents an additional comfortable relaxation zone. With four VIP guest suites and a fascinating owner's suite built into the volcano, the yacht is equipped with high-end features like a cinema, library, games room, gym and sauna. This is an introduction to luxury yachting – themed yachts – and the idea seems to be an exciting new venture in the world of custom, luxurious yacht design. Love or hate the concept?

This curious GIF of Drake sitting courtside at the last Toronto Raptors game has been making the Internet rounds lately…
It would seem that the high-profile Raptors fan was openly using a lint roller during a break in play. (And of course the watchful eye of the Internet caught it.)
While we must applaud Aubrey Graham's commitment to garment maintenance, it seemed a bit out of place. And it got us thinking deeply about the situations wherein it's appropriate, mildly appropriate and not at all appropriate to use a lint roller.
Allow us to lay it all out for you (and Mr. Graham) in this handy green/yellow/red guide to when and where it's okay to use a lint roller:»

July's a tricky month in the world of printed menswear.
Because even though summer only officially started last Friday, we've been talking about it since early May—and the last thing on our minds in the sweltering heat we're all now starting to feel is fall tweeds.
It's this "trickiness," among other things, that led the gents at two of our big three men's rags to the same decision years ago: July wasn't worth the hassle of its own issue, so they tacked it onto the end of June's. Which has given us the rare opportunity to look past those dusty old stalwarts to a few of the other menswear mags out there.
So without further ado, we take the pulse of this month in menswear journalism, after the jump…»

The annual day of financial reckoning has arrived: it's tax day.
And in honor of this yearly government-sanctioned fleecing, we'd like to applaud those intrepid few who've stuck it to the man—and wound up with a free swimming pool out of the deal, or recouped a $50,000 night of making it rain—by rehashing some of history's most ingenious write-offs and how they turned out. So without further ado, we present to you:

What would it be like to come of age in an isolated corner of the South Pacific and experience the mysteries of adolescence without adult guidance? This is the question posed by Henry DeVere Stacpoole's 1903 novel The Blue Lagoon. Two children-Emmeline and Richard-are shipwrecked on an island paradise with only one adult survivor, a ship's cook (Leo McKern). But he soon dies and the children, alone and unadvised, must cope with the bewildering variety of physical and emotional changes attendant to growing up. They learn how to survive and even thrive in their island home, and as they reach adolescence, the two teenagers (Brooke Shields and Christopher Atkins) fight and tease but ultimately embrace each other. A natural sensuality leads to love and a baffling pregnancy. But eventually they must confront danger as they venture beyond their island world.
