"Water is the prime resource of man's food supply and his most important household and industrial tool. But most important is the fact that water is a major constituent of all living matter, comprising up to two-thirds of the human body. Next to the air we breathe, water is man-kind's most important substance."
(~ Water Treatment Fundamentals – The Water Quality Association)
The Right Water Clinic
We are located inside of Sunshine Market at 211 F St. and we are featuring the benefits and education of alkaline ionized water in addition to the considerations of pre-filtration to optimize the important health and performance benefits of our most precious resource.
So many illnesses and conditions that continue to plague the population around the world could be greatly reduced or eliminated with proper hydration. Becoming more familiar with water sources and what the difference between well or city water and natural water is, is important to optimal health and performance.
There are several simple questions to ask yourself:
- How much water do you drink everyday?
- What kind of water do you drink?
- How do you measure your level of hydration?
These simple questions can lead you to an exploration that could have a dramatic effect on your physical and mental performance, and how well you feel from moment to moment and day to day.
It is estimated that 80% of the US population is dehydrated – are you one of them?

Another upside to closed generic TLDs: fewer defensive registrations
The more domains that are "closed", the less brand protection is required.
Last week I wrote about why I'm not concerned with companies registering generic terms as TLDs (e.g. .blog, .book) and keeping them "closed" to other parties for second level registrations.
Today I was reminded of another benefit to some of these domains being closed, and why I find it ironic that big brands are upset over closed TLDs.
Retail Council of Canada (RCC) sent a letter to ICANN stating its opposition to closed generic TLDs. It states:
"Given its mandate, RCC believes that these gTLD strings should be open and unrestricted sine generic words use in a generic way belong to everyone."
Let's quickly get over the fact that this statement is ridiculous (as I go try to protect my generic second level domains from the RCC).
Instead, focus on this irony:
For years, companies have been throwing a fit about the supposed number of defensive registrations they'd have to do at the second level of generic top level domains.
For example, a shoe company might feel compelled to register all of its brands under .shoes.
But if a top level domain is closed, that requirement goes away.
In the case of .shoes, Donuts has applied for the TLD. Shoe companies might feel compelled to register nike.shoes, air.shoes, etc.
Had Amazon applied for .shoes as a closed registry, those companies would no longer feel compelled to register the second level domains. In fact, they wouldn't even be allowed to.
If a company was complaining about defensive registrations, they certainly shouldn't complain about close generics. They should embrace them.
(I'll note that I'm not familiar with RCC and if any of its member companies have complained about protecting their marks at the second level. But I'll also note that the letter is worth a read because it has other funny comments. Consider this: "It will also effectively gain exclusive rights to be associated with the kind of products or services they offer, which is something that could not be achieved through tradmark laws in Canada". The RCC is talking about TLDs, but they apparently don't have a problem with Barnes and Noble owning book.com.)
6 Comments
The question is if, (and it's a big if*) new gTLDs do 10 or 20 years down the line become to been seen as superior in consumers minds then owners of new gTLDs will have what is effectively a monopoly position gained solely through their contract with ICANN.
This relationship which is only available to the economically advantaged offers an implicit DNS branding advantage, which the owners can use to unfairly compete against all second level domains, because if top level names are deemed superior, then second level names will be by definition be seen as inferior.
This is different from today where second level domains from different TLDs can equitably compete (in your example books.com, books.info books.net or books.de etc.)
*having seen the names applied for it's probably an even bigger if, because for all the protestations of prevention of innovation by not allowing .anything as new gTLDs we've yet to see much innovation.
There is a huge difference between .book and book.com
A gTLD is a continent, a 2nd level domain is a street address.
A gTLD registry operator is under contract to ICANN, which in turn is committed to serve the global public interest. Allowing generic, non-brand gTLDs to be turned into proprietary corporate colonies is not in the public interest.
Is it in the public interest to allow .search to be owned by Google (which can prevail in any contention resolution auction) and to be run as a closed gTLD — when an open .search gTLD could be a platform for tens of thousands of cool new vertical search engines competing against Google?
If ICANN allows closed generics in this first round there will be a rush of defensive gTLD applications in the second round from corporations seeking to lock up key generic terms for their sole use. This will fatten ICANN's treasury but lead to a balkanized, privatized DNS.
The history of the Internet teaches us that innovation comes from the edges, not the intermediaries. Closed generics convert gTLDs from platforms for innovation to walled gardens that lock out innovation. -
Andrew–the primary benefit of a closed generic to a registry operator in the industry the term relates to is not for its own branding, but in denying access to the gTLD to competitors.
This author just doesn't get it. gtlds are a threat to the established .com eco-naming system and, as such, will be rejected by businesses and consumers alike. Whether a gtld is open or closed matters not. They are all doomed to fail.

Quoted from Steve Shapiro I\'ll be happy to address any specific questions addressed to me (rather than have rumors about me and \"maybes\" such as \"Vegan Joe\'s\" comments gain substance). be well,steve
Quoted from Vegan Joe My only real question is: can one be sure it was only the lack of animal proteins, or was it just the wrong plants? i.e. grains, legumes, avoids, etc.. My thought is that this question cannot be successfully answered, as all of Dr. D\'s diet recommendations were incorporated at approximately the same time, in your case.
Quoted from Lloyd No amount of evidence will change the mind of someone who is invested in something that is contrary. Usually the level of proof required to change one\'s mind is much greater than that originally needed to come to the original conclusion.How that applies to you, Steve, your best friend\'s Aunt Sally or anything else is something that you will have to determine for yourself.
Quoted from ruthiegirl How does Steve have zero posts on the board when he's posted several times on this thread alone?
Quoted from Vegan Joe You\'re assuming that all are ignorant and can\'t change, by claiming \"no amount of evidence\",and it still doesn\'t address a valid question. who\'s answer is clouded in a combination of effects. I\'m not into rejecting truth so long as it\'s clear and apparent. The answer to my question is clouded, so why would someone jump to conclusions.

Big Ideas
Decorator Todd Klein's pint-size pad exudes larger-than-life style
By Samuel Cochran
Treasured items on a smaller scale are on prominent display throughout the apartment, such as a photography collection that includes heavyweights like Jack Pierson, Thomas Ruff, and Candida Höfer. To highlight it, Klein painted the floors, walls, and ceiling in glossy tones of bone and parchment, then applied a mottled layer of glaze. "I wanted to create this really bright, light space as a backdrop for art," Klein says. Other keepsakes (framed butterfly specimens, a Calder mobile, family snapshots) fill the bookcase and a vintage gilded étagère from the offices of Parish-Hadley, the renowned interior-design firm Klein worked for until it disbanded in 1999.
Recalling his two-year tenure there, he says, "I worked on apartments that were beyond my wildest dreams," including that of Brooke Astor, whose posh Park Avenue aerie with its famous red-lacquer library was decorated by his mentor Albert Hadley. It proved a formative stint for the Kentucky-born Klein. Hadley, he explains, "opened my mind to the quality of color. Before that, my palette had always been subdued. I came to understand that bright colors countered with neutrals could be really exciting."
That lesson has continued to inform Klein's projects, his own home not least of all. "I think of this apartment as a jewel box," he says. "I wanted tiny bits of gold to tie everything together." Metallic touches generate a delicate leitmotif -- from the nailhead trim on the antique French fruitwood settee and the glittering legs of the kidney-shaped love seat (his own design) to the hammered-brass cocktail table and iridescent kitchen wallpaper. There's also a bronze-lacquer pocket door that closes off the sleeping area. Complementing the sparkle are vibrant red accents: a framed collection of antique wax seals from Germany in the étagère, scarlet storage tins on the bookshelves, and, most dramatically, floor-length curtains in the bedroom.
Of the glamorous studio apartment he's created, Klein enthuses, "There is something so comfortable about living in one room." To do so, however, requires considerable self-control. "I really needed to edit my possessions," he says. "Now most of what I have serves a practical purpose." A suite of 18th-century Italian country side chairs upholstered in -- what else? -- gold patent leather pull up to Knoll's sculptural glass PaperClip table for dinner parties; graphic children's puzzles on decorative display double as entertainment during visits from Klein's young nephews; and the chimes of an antique Italian mantel clock are relied on to keep him punctual.
Though the designer calls the apartment a "perfect sanctuary," all too often it sits unoccupied due to a hectic travel schedule that includes visits to clients, summers on Fire Island, and winter ski trips. "My home almost begins to feel like a hotel," Klein jokes of his peripatetic lifestyle. But when he is in town, he says, "there is nothing better than having dinner in bed and catching up on TV shows." And when those are over, there's always the scintillating vista to watch just outside his windows.

Notable structural reforms have included trade liberalization, privatization, implementation of competitive flat tax rates, and modernization of the regulatory environment. Along with the effective maintenance of low inflation, greater monetary stability has also been achieved.In more recent years, Bulgaria has taken steps to restore fiscal discipline despite a challenging economic environment. Public debt and budget deficits remain among the lowest in the region. Continued reform efforts, particularly in strengthening the independence of the judiciary and eradicating corruption, are needed to solidify the foundations of economic freedom and ensure progress toward greater prosperity. Read more about Bulgaria Economy. Close Background Bulgaria joined the European Union in January 2007. Prime Minister Boyko Borisov and his cabinet resigned in February 2013 after nationwide protests over low standards of living, high energy costs, and corruption. Former Finance Minister Plamen Oresharski became prime minister in May at the head of a Socialist Party–led coalition, but protests continued. Tourism, information technology and telecommunications, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and textiles are the leading industries. Bulgaria is involved in two rival gas-pipeline projects: Russia's South Stream pipeline and the Azerbaijan/Turkey-backed Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas pipeline. Economic growth is stagnant, largely as a result of the EU economic crisis and internal instability. Bulgaria remains the EU's poorest country.

Style is always changing and evolving. Keeping up with the current trends is something you have to do in order to survive in the fashion business.

Dress The Population is a new line we are carrying and the pieces are ultra non prescription ambien feminine with edgy accents such as lace over nude, snake and leopard prints and sequins.

Hi, I think I had this figured out once, but now I am confused. I have the designs on my programmable card but once I put the card in my Husqvarna 1+, how do I select one of the designs from the programmable card? |
Follow-Up Postings:
You have to use your software program Customizing(?) and (reader/writer) in your computer to "read" the card. You can print the designs as you see them listed on the computer monitor, all the designs on one sheet of paper. From that sheet you'll know what number each design is. When you place the programmable card in your sewing machine, you'll punch in the design number. |
Thanks annrn, I think I understand. I will try that asap and let you know how I got alone. Your explanation makes lots of sense to me, anyway. Thanks so much for the help. I appreciate it. |

Also when you download the design onto the programmable card you do have the choice to rename it to something you can recognize. I agree about printing out the designs, also if they are free designs I always stitch them out on muslin to make sure I like it, that the colors are what I want and that the digitizing looks good. You can always save the stitched out samples and use them on something like a t-shirt or sweatshirt or even start a quilt! Pat |

Cicero's on the Loop played host to an eclectic night of local music on Friday, February 1.
The night offered a study in juxtaposition, a night with powerful voices, music and looks from three vastly different artists, as Kristeen Young, CaveofswordS and Bruiser Queen each took the stage of Cicero's Friday evening.
The musicians of St. Louis don't just love performing; they love seeing others perform. And the year 2012 offered hundreds of opportunities to do just that.
Catching a show on the artistically fertile but sometimes shadowy Cherokee Street is always an unpredictable experience. A new gallery or venue seems to pop up every couple of months, replacing the empty carcass of a similarly creative but now defunct loft space.

Try and try again proves worthwhile for Spider
Queen's Park travel across Glasgow this weekend to take on Rangers in a League match for the first time in over 54 years and for one of their players, it is a fitting way to mark the taking of a second opportunity.
Midfield workhorse, Michael Keenan, is looking forward to The Spiders trip to Ibrox just a few months after playing in the Junior ranks with Arthurlie and over six years since thinking that his dream of playing at senior level had been frustratingly cut short.
The 27-year-old is loving life with the Hampden club and remains delighted to be given a second chance to crack the senior game especially as he will play in front of over 40,000 fans this weekend and he said: "I was with Queen's when I was younger back when Billy Stark was in charge. I joined them as a 20-year-old from Busby Boys Club, who are also based in the south side of Glasgow. I was also a midfielder back then and I got into the first team a couple of times including a League Cup win over Hamilton."
Stark was building the side that eventually won promotion in season 2006/07 and the Hampden midfield was packed with players who would eventually move from the amateur ranks at Queen's to professional clubs with Stuart Kettlewell, Paul Cairney and Alan Trouten all competing with a young Keenan for places.
Keenan said: "They had a really strong squad at that time and I never really established myself in it. It was difficult to break in to a side that would come good and get promoted. I decided to move on and I went Junior to join Petershill.
"I was still pretty inexperienced as a player so going there was a great move for me. It was always still at the back of my mind that I should have stuck it out for longer at Queen's and fought more for my place but I made the most of it at Petershill. I played in lots of games during the seasons I was there and learnt a lot."
After his time in Glasgow's Springburn, Keenan moved to Barrhead in 2010 and joined Arthurlie following in the footsteps of goalkeeper Neil Parry, who had made the same move 12 months before. Ironically, Parry joined Queen's Park from Arthurlie last summer and Keenan wryly said: "I am waiting to see what Premiership side he joins in the summer as I will be going there a year after him!"
After two seasons at Dunterlie Park, Keenan got the chance to wear black and white hoops again and he quickly agreed to it saying: "I had spent a number of years wondering if I had left too soon and thankfully, I got a second opportunity this summer from Gardner Speirs."
Having Keenan at the club has also helped Speirs sign former Celtic midfielder Tony McParland after he impressed in training and as a trialist in reserve games. McParland, who also starred for Barnsley, Wycombe Wanderers, Livingston and Queen of the South, has not played senior since April, 2010, however, Keenan helped 'match-make' between his new club and the player.
"Tony had come in for a short spell at Arthurlie but I have known him a lot longer than that as I was at school with him. He was a bit disillusioned with the game but I asked the gaffer if he could come in and train with us. He came in and things stepped up and he was involved in a reserve game before signing for us last week."
Keenan's own move to Hampden has worked out well as he explained: "So far, it has been great as I have played in every game and I reckon I am a better player than the one that left all those years ago. I always wanted to come back and whilst I may have changed, the club hasn't. It was a great club when I was here before and it is still a great club now.
"We have made a decent start to the Third Division but that is all it is, a start. We played out a great Ramsdens Cup tie with Partick Thistle at Hampden where we lost 5-4 but emerged with a lot of credibility. We have to try and kick on from our good start to have a good season."
The Spiders have risen to tough challenges already this season with Keenan saying: "We have beaten Airdrie United and Dundee in The Scottish Communities League Cup and did well for 80 minutes against St. Johnstone until a sending off hurt us."
Keenan scored with a 30 yard drive at McDiarmid Park to tie the scores and open his Queen's Park account before the Perth side ran out 4-1 winners after youngster Andrew Robertson was dismissed.
Queen's Park's next game will see the hard working Keenan play against Ally McCoist's Rangers side and he is looking forward to it as he said: "It is great that this is being billed as a Glasgow derby as I am sure that will add a lot of excitement for the fans. I have played in a few derbies before in the Junior game and the ones between Pollok and Arthurlie were really intense affairs, especially the Cup Finals when we played each other, and whilst there would be a crowd of 2,000 at those games, Ibrox will be something totally different.
"The crowds at Junior matches were right on top of you and whilst the crowd at Ibrox will be a bit further away, I am sure it will be incredibly noisy."
Keenan added: "This Saturday's game will be something different for all of us but things like the size of the park will not faze us as Hampden is very similar to Ibrox in that way. The crowd will certainly be very different to anything we have seen before but once the game kicks off, we have to try and block that out."
Despite the partisan backing Queen's will face, Keenan reckons that they will enjoy the experience saying: "All the Third Division clubs have done themselves proud so far and I am sure we will as well. It will be a great learning opportunity but we are not going there for a day out, we want to go there and show what we can do.
"We have a number of young players in our team that can go on and have a good career in the game and this will give them a taste for it."
Keenan has plenty of experience of tough atmospheres from his Junior days and he will pass that on to the young Spiders as he explained: "The important thing is not to get carried away by the occasion, you cannot be frightened by it. Some of the Junior games I have been in have been pretty intimidating for lots of reasons but I survived them."

The neurologic outcomes reviewed in this section are amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), peripheral neuropathy, and other neurologic outcomes.
ALS is a neuromuscular disorder; it is often referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease and might also be called motor neuron disease or Charcot's disease. It affects approximately 20,000 to 30,000 people in the United States (NINDS 2006; The ALS Association 2006). ALS affects all races and ethnic backgrounds and the risk is higher in men than women of the same age (Annegers et al. 1991). The disease is often relentlessly progressive and almost always fatal. The rate of progression is quite variable from patient to patient.
ALS causes degeneration of the motor neurons in the cerebral motor cortex (called upper motor neurons) and the brain stem and spinal cord (called lower motor neurons) (Rowland 2000). The motor neurons are nerve cells that provide communication between the highest levels of the nervous system and the voluntary muscles of the body (NINDS 2006). When the upper motor neurons degenerate, their connections to the lower motor neurons and spinal interneurons are disrupted. That disruption leads to weakness of muscles in a characteristic distribution and the development of spasticity. Lower motor neuron degeneration disrupts nerve contact to the muscles resulting in muscle atrophy. Spontaneous muscle activity, called fasciculation, occurs. Eventually, affected people are unable to move their arms and legs and cannot speak or swallow. When the connection is disrupted between the neurons and the muscles responsible for breathing, patients either die from respiratory failure or require mechanical ventilation to continue to breathe. The majority of persons with ALS die from respiratory failure within 5 years from the onset of symptoms. To be diagnosed with ALS, patients must have signs and symptoms of both upper and lower motor neuron damage that cannot be attributed to other causes (such as progressive muscular atrophies and varieties of peroneal muscular atrophy, Kennedy's syndrome, or multifocal motor mononeuropathy).
Five to ten percent of ALS cases are familial (inherited) and the remainder are sporadic (Rowland 2000; Siddique et al. 1999). Only one parent needs to carry the mutant gene for ALS to occur in about half of the children in cases of familial ALS (NINDS 2006). The specific gene mutations causing the majority of familial ALS cases are unknown. However, about 20% of familial cases are believed to be caused by a mutation in a gene that encodes the enzyme superoxide dismutase 1 (NINDS 2006).
The cause of sporadic ALS is unknown. Despite a number of epidemiologic studies examining occupation (for example, Italian professional soccer players, farmers, and electricians), physical trauma, strenuous physical activity, lifestyle factors (for example, diet, body mass index, cigarette use, and alcohol consumption), ethnic group, and socioeconomic status, there are no consistent findings (Armon 2003; Armon 2004a; Chio et al. 2005; Rowland 2000; Valenti et al. 2005). It has been suggested that the risk of ALS may decrease with decreasing latitude (north-south gradient of risk) (McGuire et al. 1996a).

Preston North End have made their first signing of the 2013 January transfer window, signing free agent Joe Garner on an 18-month contract.
The 24-year-old had his contract cancelled at Watford and the Lilywhites moved quickly to sign him on a deal until at least the summer of 2014, with the option of a further year.
Garner joined the Hornets from Nottingham Forest in the summer of 2011 and has spent the majority of this season on loan at Carlisle United.
The Blackburn-born striker has been handed the No.14 shirt and will be available for selection for the Johnstone's Paint Trophy tie against Coventry City.

Everyone with an internet connection has likely seen this morning's Modern Warfare 3 reveal, and there's a good chance a portion you'd have been taken a little aback by its controversial scenes.
As previously revealed, Activision's third Modern Warfare instalment sees New York City left smouldering and heavily damaged following a serious attack by Russian forces.
Smoke rises from battered skyscrapers, while the ground below is covered in tonnes of rubble and dust. An iconic US flag which usually hangs proud outside the New York Stock Exchange is tarnished; left grubby, ripped and flapping over the carnage.
Even more controversial to British readers are the scenes shown in the debut in-game footage, involving a derailed London Underground Tube train. These culminate in the train's carriages crashing and spinning violently through the smoking Tube tunnels, before finally impacting with the concrete support pillars in a cinematic collision.
It's not the first time the Infinity Ward series has courted controversy, of course; the last Modern Warfare included a sequence in which players were ordered to gun down innocent civilians in a Russian airport.
Despite the scene's narrative justifications, the general media went crazy and Modern Warfare's name appeared on television news across the world. But how do you feel about Activision courting controversy once again in the name of PR?
We of course don't yet know how these sequences fit in to the Modern Warfare 3 story - we've only seen a snappy reveal trailer, after all - but that surely won't stop the mainstream media voicing its opinion pretty soon.
Do you think the NYC and London scenes are acceptable given the game's World War 3 theme, and put in the right context? Or do you see them as overtly cynical attempts at building yet more newspaper outcry?

OK I'm blaming it on tinytina (Kristene) lol, but I am excited for my first retreat. I have had so much stress this last year and I'm so looking forward to hiding out with my quilty friends!!!
I have told my family, come h*** or high water (an old fashion saying I still hear around here) I am going to the retreat!!! I could drive but DH doesn't want me to, he said he would feel safer if I fly. So I had planned on taking hand work. How do you pack (and what) to fly??????
Follow-Up Postings:
Rosa, I can bring a featherweight for you to use if you want. Sharon and I are planning to drive so I've got room for a few extra things. Kate |
Kate, thank for for the generous offer, but I really enjoy handwork and it will be a great oportunity to work on my 'Over the River and Thru the Woods'. I'm just so very excited that going to the retreat is going to be my top priority! The last 2 years I have wanted to go and something has come up. NOT THIS YEAR LOL!!!!! Rosa |

Surprisingly, you can fly with scissors and a rotary cutter. They don't seem to know what they are. I took pins, needles, cutters and seam rippers without any problem. And, if in doubt, you just check the bag. Boy, we're going to have a house full this year! What fun! |
Rosa, you have email!!! Kate |

Last year I flew with a pair of medium size scissors in my back pocket of my jeans (I did not know). Understand, I got the complete - very thorough front chest pat down after also going thru the body scan......but did they take away or say anything about the sharp scissors in my pocket - nope! I found the scissors the next day in my pocket! On my trip home, both pieces of checked luggage had been unpacked, examined and repacked-including refolding 9 yards of wide batik! And I stopped the security line while they questioned my featherweight - that had the needle removed. Ya just never know! That's what makes flying scary - what the crazies can get on a plane! :~) Oops! Did you mean how do you pack to avoid this? I thought I had. Bonnie Hunter said she thinks the rulers in the suitcases cause the searches. She collects the TSA notices. I plan to pack much lighter this year - toolgranny will be happy! I will send a package to someone - Kate??? -- ahead of time that contain the sharps and some stuff. I am so excited already! Rosa, last year I had a very stressful year, and decided to go at the last minute - getting away to this retreat was so helpful to me - just to be with like minded friends, who expected nothing of me - it was so refreshing.....I had a new lease on life after I returned home! This is exciting to be planning this so early. |

I'll make my yearly offer to pick up anyone flying into RDU (Raleigh/Durham) or Greensboro (PTI). Rosa or anyone else, you can feel free to mail me anything you don't want to take on the plane. Teresa |

I can receive packages and bring them as well. Marsha~It'd be cheaper to mail to the next state rather than FL! I will not be bringing Baby this year, so my load will be lighter, ie. all my own stuff! I expect Trish & I will travel together again, but there's still plenty of room in my truck for stuff. |
Thank you ladies, maybe Dan will go one year, or this one lol!!! Marsha we had the same experience with a trip to AZ, I want to travel as light as I can!!!! My sister travels a lot for her business and she told me they get very impatient when her lap top will not boot up! |

Last year I checked one bag and carried my sewing machine on in a small 21x7" bag. I did tell the people scanning my bag what it was so I think that helped. Scissors etc, went in my checked bag. On the return flight they told me there wasn't room to carry on my 21"x7" carry-on bag. I told them there was & the flight attendant laughed at the gate people. She said she wished everyone had a bag as small as mine! If you all can stand me in the same clothes, I will have more room in my checked bag for projects! (Unless DH decides to drive out in the RV with me). I am looking forward to seeing everyone! Sue/polardream |

Hiya Magothy, I'm alarmed to read your story. If that ever happens again, you must pls. report it to the TSA & Airport!! I assume your scissors was metal. That you got though the scanners w/ it is alarming, did they not pass you through a metal detector? By reporting that you found you accidentally went though w/ it, it shows them (1) their people are sleeping on the job & (2) maybe need to have the metal scanners re-checked for accuracy; (3) how to do miss a back pocket scissors on a pat down? I'm a New Yorker & had trouble flying after 911 w/ just a small scissors & needles in a pin cushion. I was using a cane at the time & they almost tried to make me take it apart except I didn't know how. My then boyfriend almost turned purple when they started hassling me & my leg about the cane. I thought he was going to bust a gasket & jump the barricades when he saw how angry I was getting. |

Why HCG Diet now?
You have tried other diets and have not been successful. Being overweight is no way to go through life. You are tired of it.
Obesity causes over 300,000 deaths each year in the US.
Nearly 2/3 of the US population is overweight.
Heart Disease, Diabetis, High Blood Pressure are much more common in the obese.
Why HCG Diet now?
Quite simply, you have tried other diets and have not been able to lose weight or even after you have lost the weight you have not been successful in keeping the weight off. There could be several explanations as to why weight loss is not easy. Hormonal imbalances, activity levels, caloric intake to name a few. When exercising or restricting food intake, the body relies on and consumes the normal fat or primary reserves. The body does not release the secondary fat reserves. The use of the HCG hormone releases these secondary fat deposits and makes the fat available for consumption by the body. It is these secondary fat reserves which are the stubborn areas and may be responsible for significant contour irregularities that you want improved or 'gone'.
Patients on the HCG program lose about one pound per day, because the HCG hormone makes the secondary fat available, the body begins living off the fat — the fat provides a source of energy, just as food does. Patients are instructed to reduce food to 500 calories per day, however, hunger is not noticed because 3,500 additional calories are consumed each day by the body. The results: patients lose about one pound per day while using the HCG hormone, safely.

HBO Watch: 'The Newsroom' Is Pure Aaron Sorkin (UPDATE: New Photos)
[UPDATE #6] In anticipation of the premiere of HBO's The Newsroom, check out some new photos of the Aaron Sorking drama after the jump.
[UPDATE #5] Check out the third promo clip for Aaron Sorkin's new HBO drama The Newsroom after the jump.
[UPDATE #4] Check out the behind-the-scenes clip of the Aaron Sorkin HBO series, The Newsroom.
[UPDATE #3] Check out the just released poster, which is audacious in it's composition and surely clever, for The Newsroom starring Jeff Daniels.
[UPDATE #2] Welcome the third and latest trailer for Aaron Sorkin's The Newsroom. Here's another solid cast for HBO, see it after the jump.
[UPDATE] Check out trailer #2 for Aaron Sorkin's Newsroom after the jump.
[Original] Welcome to Aaron Sorkin's newest series on The Newsroom on HBO. We've taken a little while in getting to this fantastic trailer only because it was released the same day as the season 5 trailer for True Blood. Its no excuse we know, but now its finally here and watch Jeff Daniels rip everybody apart. With words and stares, of course. Check out the trailer below.
It's got that Damages feel of importance and scandal, which should make for some interesting drama. I wasn't old enough to really know The West Wing, but what I see in clips and read how others remember it, I can only assume Sorkin will make it more than interesting. Probably riveting. I wasn't the biggest fan of The Social Network, but I had no problems with his script.
The Newsroom focuses on "fiction cable news anchor Will McAvoy (Daniels) as he attempts to keep an even temper during his nightly program." Surely when answering a question with this: "When you ask what makes us the great country in the world, I don't know what the f—- you're talking about!" You know you're in for a treat.
The series stars Emily Mortimer, John Gallagher Jr., Allison Pill (which we recently cast in an all-female version of Reservoir Dogs), Thomas Sadoski, Olivia Munn and Dev Patel. Jane Fonda is a recurring guest star and Social Network-alum Jesse Eisenberg will make a cameo appearance in the pilot.
The Newsroom premieres June 24, 2012 on HBO.

The Supreme Court will hear two days worth of arguments at the end of March concerning gay marriage laws.
One case involves California's Poposition 8, where a voter-approved constitutional amendment defines marriage as between one man and one woman.
The second will look at the federal Defense of Marriage Act, which is aimed at protecting that traditional definition.
Justices will hear one hour's worth of arguments on both laws in March.

Fight Infection with These Natural Anti-Virals, Anti-Pathogens & Anti-Bacterials
Colds and flus are not only inconvenient and uncomfortable; they can also be extremely dangerous – especially to the very young and the old. Modern medicine has little to offer in the treatment of colds and flu. Fortunately, there is no need to suffer for days or weeks at a time. Bacteria and viruses develop resistance to antibiotics and antiviral drugs – Today we're exploring exactly what you need to do to stay ahead of the bacteria and viruses and keep your captain and crew healthy!
Try this Anti-Viral Formula
This is an upgraded my antipathogen formula. It contains 10 of the most powerful antipathogens found in nature.
- Ginger
- Onion
- Garlic (equivalent to 30 cloves in every bottle)
- Olive leaf
- Horseradish
- Habanero
- Zinc
- Grapefruit seed extract
- Wild mountain oil of oregano
- Apple cider vinegar Individually, their effectiveness is astonishing.
Garlic is one of the best infection fighters available for both bacterial and viral infections. It is a natural antibiotic that does not appear to create resistant bacteria strains. In addition, fresh garlic extract has been shown to be virucidal to many viruses.
Garlic possesses the ability to stimulate the immune system. It can stimulate the activity of the macrophages (white blood cells), which engulf foreign organisms, such as: viruses, bacteria, and yeast. Furthermore, garlic increases the activity of the T-helper cells (immune cells which are central to the activity of the entire immune system). Garlic may be particularly effective in treating upper respiratory viral infections due to its immune-enhancing properties and its ability to clear mucous from the lungs.
It destroys and/or inhibits various bacteria and fungi, with an antibacterial action equivalent to 1% penicillin. Garlic is effective against strep, staph, and even anthrax bacteria.
Everything that's been said about Garlic can be said about onion. Onions and garlic share many of the same powerful sulfur bearing compounds that work so effectively as anti-viral and anti-bacterial agents.
Ginger has been traditionally used to treat colds and flu. Ginger helps kill influenza viruses and it increases the immune system's ability to fight infection.
Olive Leaf Extract:
Olive leaf extract has a long history of being used against illnesses in which microorganisms play a major role. In more recent years, a drug company discovered that in vitro (in a test tube), an extract from olive leaf (calcium elenolate) was effective in eliminating a very broad range of organisms, including bacteria, viruses, parasites, and yeast/mold/fungus.
Habañero and Horseradish:
These are stimulants that quicken and excite the body. They energize the body (helping it to marshal its defenses against invading viruses). In addition, they help to carry blood to all parts of the body.
They are also diaphoretics and thus help raise the temperature of the body, which increases the activity of the body's immune system.
Horseradish, in particular, contains volatile oils that are similar to those found in mustard. These include glucosinolates (mustard oil glycosides), gluconasturtiin, and sinigrin, which yield allyl isothiocynate when broken down in the stomach. In test tubes, the volatile oils in horseradish have shown antibiotic properties, which may account for its effectiveness in treating throat and upper respiratory tract infections. At levels attainable in human urine after taking the volatile oil of horseradish, the oil has been shown to kill bacteria that can cause urinary tract infections, and one early trial found that horseradish extract may be a useful treatment for people with urinary tract infections.
Liquid Ionic Zinc:
Like colloidal silver, liquid zinc is both anti-bacterial and anti-viral, but without the potential toxicity issues found with silver. Zinc is found in all body fluids, including the moisture in the eyes, lungs, nose, urine, and saliva. Proper zinc levels offer a defense against the entrance of pathogens. In the 1800′s, surgeons used zinc as an antiseptic/antibiotic after surgery; they noted its amazing healing properties. Wounds would heal, at times, as quickly as 24 hours after an operation, without swelling, and scarring was barely noticeable after a short period of time.
Oil of Wild Mountain Oregano:
Numerous studies have shown wild mountain oregano oil (not to be confused with the oregano found in your kitchen) to be a potent antimicrobial. It has been proven useful as an antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal agent rivaling even pharmaceutical antibiotics such as streptomycin, penicillin, vacnomycin, nystatin, and amphotericin in its ability to eliminate microbes. Remarkably it accomplishes this without promoting the development of drug resistant strains and other problems often attributed to the use of standard antibiotics. In addition to this already impressive list of abilities Oregano Oil is also a powerful parasitic expellant.
Grapefruit Seed Extract:
Grapefruit seed extract was originally developed as an antiparasitic, but studies quickly showed that it had the ability to inhibit the growth of not only parasites, but fungi, viruses, and bacteria as well. The active ingredients of grapefruit seed extract are non-toxic and are synthesized from the seed and pulp of certified organically grown grapefruit. The process converts the grapefruit bioflavonoids (polyphenolics) into an extremely potent compound that is being used to kill strep, staph, salmonella, E. Coli, candida, herpes, influenza, parasites, fungi, and more.
Apple-Cider Vinegar:
ACV (Apple-Cider Vinegar) serves several functions in this formula:
It's the tincture medium for the formula, as opposed to alcohol (which is the tincture medium in an immune tonic). ACV is anathema to all kinds of germs that attack the throat. In effect, it acts like a sponge and draws out throat germs and toxins from the surrounding tissue. And finally, ACV stimulates a condition called acetolysis in which toxic wastes that are harmful to the body are broken down and rendered harmless.
An important tips on herbs:
Not all herbs are created equal. When putting together a formula of this kind that is primarily herb-based, it is essential that you use herbs of the right quality — herbs that actually work.

I know there are a number of Clematis that will bloom in Spring AND Fall. From your experience, could you please share a few that bloom during both seasons most consistently? Thank you! |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by steve1young 7A (My Page) on Tue, Jul 23, 13 at 18:16
This is what I'm finding so far. Would you agree? Clematis 'Hagley Hybrid' - Soft pink flowers are 5-6" across and have ruffled edges and red anthers. Vigorous grower. Blooms June and September. Soil Condition: Normal. Full Sun to Mostly Sunny. Zones: 4-10. Height: 7-8'. Pruning Type 3. |
I can't help you here, sorry. But I was hoping someone would post with suggestions, because I just recently found out that there are indeed clematis that bloom twice. Was wondering if anyone has experience with a variety with this feature in my zone. The area I am thinking of placing it would get intense sun for the majority of the day, with shade very early and again very late in the day. Any ideas? Also, is there a company or catalog that is know for featuring clematis? Our area nurseries all carry the same varieties every year and I'm looking for something different. Thanks! |
- Posted by steve1young 7A (My Page) on Wed, Aug 14, 13 at 14:49
I've found Joy Creek Nursery to be a great source for Clematis offerings and information. Best of luck! |
- Posted by opheliathornvt 5 (My Page) on Thu, Aug 15, 13 at 9:09
I know lots of information says that clematis blooms twice a year, but my experience is that the spring bloom is fabulous and anything after that is less than awe-inspiring. My Hagely Hybrid and Mrs. Cholmondeley just rebloomed, with about 3 blooms each. Maybe if I fertilized and watered better after the first flushes I'd have more luck, but as it is, it's not mind-blowing, and it usually isn't "fall" either, since they just finished doing it a week ago. |

The draft conference paper and poster presentation schedule and maps can be found here.
The Department of Geography at the University of Lethbridge is excited to host the 55th Annual Meeting of the Western Division of the Canadian Association of Geographers (WDCAG), 7-9 March 2013.
WDCAG meetings serve as an annual gathering place for geographers from Alberta, British Columbia, the Northwest and Yukon Territories, and the northwestern U.S. states to share recent advancements in the discipline. Many of the WDCAG meeting attendees have traditionally been students, and we think this year's conference will again be an ideal venue for undergraduate and graduate students to not only attend but also present papers or posters of their research projects. We welcome geographers and those interested in Geography to join us in Lethbridge, where the Oldman River coulees intersect the Prairies, on traditional homeland of the Blackfoot people, for what promises to be an interesting, educational, and fun event.
WDCAG2013 Annual Meeting program (See Agenda for details):

We look forward to seeing all who call themselves "geographers", and those interested in their human and physical environments, at the WDCAG-2013 meeting in Lethbridge!

I recently moved into this condo and I really need help with this living room. The carpet was gray and two of the walls are gray and the other wall is butter yellow. YUCK!!! So I bought plush carpet that's a cappuccino color (sometimes it looks coppery or gold; I'm not really happy about that either.) and I still need to paint. Question 1: With this brownish, coppery, gold looking carpet, what color should I paint the walls? BTW - I have burgundy leather furniture and don't how much longer I will keep it. Question 2: The wall in this picture is 19' wide and 10' tall and I am having a hard time figuring out how to fill up the space. I have a tv stand and a 55" tv, but there's a ton of space on both side and above the tv. The tv and stand is only about 4 feet tall, so there's 6' of empty space above it. Any suggestions? Thanks |

These are difficult and unsettling economic times for many Unitarian Universalists (UUs), our communities, our nation, and our world. Yet money is still one of the great taboos, generally unaddressed in our sanctuaries except during the annual canvas and then only reluctantly. So how do we speak to the experience of these times? Can we find words that will help us to speak with and to one another as economic beings, inextricably bound with one another in this global economy? Can we talk about money without asking for it or decrying the unjust distribution of it, but as a fundamental and inescapable reality of our lives?
The call has gone out for resources—words that would be appropriate in our communal worship, our covenant groups, around our dining room tables, even in our private devotions. We will continue to add resources as they become available.
