Summary: Unique in its design and content, this book-DVD combination helps students and practitioners enhance their clinical skills by working through guided practice of skills and concepts on topics such as developing the therapeutic mindset, appropriate proximity, and stimulus presentation. The use of task-analysis for development of specific underlying therapeutic skills makes provision of therapy logical and manageable.
The author focuses on the fundamental act ...show moreivities that occur within the speech-language therapy session and on the specific core skills of the therapeutic process. She provides definitions of numerous research-based terms related to underlying skills within the speech-language therapy session and offers guided practice and demonstrations of approximately 20 fundamental therapeutic skills in the form of systematic "workshops" that include both scripted and DVD demonstrations of skills using advance organizers, definitions/demonstrations, think-out-loud questions, prompts for practice, and post organizers for each therapy skill addressed.
A 50-minute DVD accompanies the text and adds significantly to the tutorial aspects of the book by presenting visual demonstrations of skills. One- to three-minute vignettes give students real-life examples of how nine specific therapeutic skills may be implemented. Then, in two 15-minute sessions of therapy, students view implementation of basic articulation and basic language therapy from introduction to closing, demonstrations. Both are invaluable to both beginning and practicing SLPs. This unique digital resource gives readers an opportunity to study at length, as often as needed, the specific underlying skills needed to provide effective therapy.
Here's How to Do Therapy is an ideal text plus DVD for clinical practicum experiences or clinical management courses, as well as an individual guidebook for clinicians engaged in SLP intervention. ...show less

GE, one of the most enthusiastic proponents of the "smart grid", has launched a new website, www.itsyoursmartgrid.com, to try to win public acceptance for the technology.
The initiative from GE, which hopes to be one of the biggest beneficiaries of the potentially huge market for smart grid equipment, reveals how the biggest obstacle to the technology is likely to be political and consumer resistance.
For all the benefits of a smart grid, in terms of cutting overall energy use, smoothing demand peaks, reducing transmission losses, preventing equipment failures and enabling investment in micro-generation, it seems many people are quite happy with their old dumb grids.
A fully integrated smart grid, using modern information technology to monitor and transmit information about flows of power around the system, includes many features that consumers would never see. No-one is going to care about sensors fitted to transformers to anticipate failure, for example. But when the smart grid comes into the home, in the shape of the smart meters that enable real-time measurement of energy use and costs by both the customer and the supplier, then that changes.
GE says that in a British trial of smart grid technology that used its equipment, electricity demand was cut by 9 per cent: a very impressive result. But that was in a village that was pre-selected as having a population interested in energy and the environment, which embraced the trial enthusiastically. A record of the community's energy use was posted in the village hall, people would go from house to house encouraging each other to save energy and passing on tips, and so on. Not everyone wants to live that way, as other, less successful, trials have shown.
For some, being able to see how the money is ticking away every minute might be a real cause for worry, making them uneasy about being able to afford their energy. Others do not like the sense that they are being pushed into inconvenient lifestyle changes, such as doing their washing at night when electricity demand is lower and prices cheaper. GE likes to say that its technology enables changes in behaviour, not lifestyles, but until there is a new generation of intelligent appliances that can communicate with the smart grid and make automatic and painless adjustments that consumers will not notice, then it will be hard to avoid some impact on lifestyles.
Although the issue has not yet broken cover, there is certainly potential there for the impact of the smart grid to be a source of public and political controversy, and that could prevent the legislative and regulatory changes that will be needed to persuade companies to invest.
As Keith Redfearn, GE Energy's head of transmission and distribution for Europe, puts it: "We need to educate consumers, but also regulators and government."
Itsyoursmartgrid.com does an impressive job of marshalling the arguments, looking at the case for smart grids in terms of energy security, environmental benefits and job creation. If people are to be persuaded to change their behaviour, though, the campaign to win hearts and minds will need a lot more than that.

Came across this Bernhardt piece being offered at a rather tempting price. I was told it was an old piece coming from a well known wealthy local family and has been in storage for the last ten years. Upon inspection, it instead had appeared to be rather newish ... I'm no expert at all, but it looks rather 80 ish and has absolutely no wear. The finish is a faux wood grain with speckled sprayed on markings to give the appearance of age. I had gone to the Bernhardt website, but had not found an email contact (maybe, I had not looked hard enough). I'd like to know the approximate age and the suggested value of the price. Thanks from Terry |

Elective Share Lawyers
Locate a Local Finance Lawyer
What is an Elective Share?
An "elective share" is the legal term for the portion of a deceased person's estate their spouse may collect. The elective share can be collected in place of what was left to the spouse in the deceased person's will. The amount of the elective share varies from state to state, but in most states, it is between 1/3 and 1/2 of the total estate.
Other factors can come into play when determining the amount of the elective share:
- Many states require that the marriage have lasted a certain amount of time
- Some states adjust the proportion depending on the length of the marriage
- Some states adjust the proportion if there are surviving minor children
- Some states reduce the elective share if the surviving spouse is independently wealthy
- Some states do not allow a spouse to take the elective share if the couple has been living separately for a specified time period before the spouse's death
Can Someone Inherit From a Will and Take The Elective Share?
No. The elective share can be taken in place of what the surviving spouse is left in the will. Therefore, if the will already leaves the surviving spouse with a portion of the estate that is equal to or greater than the elective share, the surviving spouse will only inherit through the will.
Can the Elective Share Be Avoided?
This depends on the state. In some states:
- assets held in certain types of trusts will not be subject to the elective share
- spouses can sign an agreement while both are still living, in which they agree not to collect the elective share
- all property is subject to the elective share, regardless of whether or not it is held in trust
If you wish to prevent your spouse from collecting the elective share after your death, you should contact an estate planning lawyer.
Do I Need A Lawyer?
If your spouse has recently passed away, and you want to determine whether to take under the will or the elective share, you should consult a lawyer. Laws on this issue vary from state to state, and can be very complex. A lawyer can help you understand the law and your options.

Toyota models, news & reviews
By Ben Pulman
Motor Shows
10 January 2009 20:00
This is Toyota's new FT-EV concept, the first of three eco-friendly cars being unveiled at the Detroit motor show over the next few days, the other two being the all-new third-generation Prius and the hybrid-only Lexus HS250h.
The FT-EV is Toyota's way of confirming that it will build a battery-electric vehicle (BEV) in 2012, but it's also using the concept to promote its other environmentally friendly vehicles.
The FT-EV concept is built on the iQ's platform, and designed for commuters with daily journeys of less than 50 miles. The production car due early next decade will be designed with the same aims in mind.
Further details will be announced on the concept in the next few days, but the iQ has received a makeover inside and out, with new exterior bodywork including a blanked-off grille, while the interior features digital screens that allow drivers to monitor their energy consumption.
'This kind of vehicle, electrified or not, is where our industry must focus its creativity,' said Irv Miller, Toyota Motor Sales group vice president.
Following on from the CNG Camry Hybrid concept and the Lexus RX450h production car unveiled at the 2008 LA auto show, Toyota has announced two more hybrids, as part of the company's plan to sell over one million hybrids by the middle of the next decade.
Up first is the new Prius, and Toyota has confirmed there will be a plug-in version launched in late 2009. Just 500 vehicles will be built for research purposes, with 150 of these cars being leased to U.S. customers. The plug-in (PHV) Prius will feature lithium-ion batteries, while the regular version of the new third-generation Prius makes do with nickel-metal hybride batteries.
'Future customers will have high expectations for these emerging technologies,' said Miller. 'This Prius PHV fleet program is a key first step in confirming how and when we might bring large numbers of plug-in hybrids to global markets. Our business is no longer about simply building and selling cars. It is about finding solutions to mobility challenges today and being prepared for more daunting challenges in our very near future.'
Come back to CAR Online on Sunday when the new Lexus HS250h will be unveiled, and Monday when we'll see the third-generation Toyota Prius. And keep coming back to CAR Online over the next few days as we report live from the Detroit auto show, bringing you all the important news and new cars.

RE: Toyota FT-EV concept unveiled at Detroit auto show 2009
So it's an electric Toyota iQ - why do we need a million tacky gold stars on it? Has the budget for concept cars at Toyota dropped so much that they have to resort to decorating a current car in a manner not dissimilar to a primary school kid who managed to get too many answers right?

JohnnyBimmer says
You'd pay $10-12k for this? A fool and his money are soon parted! You could buy a moped for £1k, second hand milk float for £5k or a pretty decent hatchback for £10k again second hand. Why'd you pay over £10k for something so limited, are you an idealist? As for production numbers for EV's gorget it. Hybrid petrol/electrics are predicted to be 7% (1 in 15) vehicles sold in the US by 2015. EV sales are expected to make up less than 5% of that number. Even Toyota who are producing this pram sees little demand for EV's. Consider why. The Chevvy Volt has a 6ft long 180kgs worth of batteries just to travel 40 miles. The Tesla battery pack weighs over 900kg just to get 240miles. Electric cars are heavy as lead, not on-demand as they take hours to recharge and have novelty rather than practical value and will remain so. Short range scooters. Petrol and disiel cars will continue to do all the serious transport work
13 January 2009 23:56
John0123 says
£2k? That's a pretty tough requirement, JohnnyBimmer. Are you waiting for an electric Tata? Nonetheless, once electric cars get over their initial rarity and into production economies of scale, they should be (relatively) cheap due to their simplicity. I would pay $10-12k for this one in a minute. (And incidentally, I'm on my final two of seven nice but vastly overpriced Bimmers.)
13 January 2009 21:47
John0123 - there's nothing futuristic about a car with the (real) range of a bicycle. If this is as cheap as chips (£2k) it has the potential to fill a gap in the market (bus users). But that would be an economic (price) innovation, not an EV vehicle success. The problem with its range and recharging combo is not the length of the cord. It's the time taken to recharge. You could do the daily commute, run to the shops on the way home, have it on recharge during dinner and still have to wait 2 hours for it to recharge before going to the cinema. But your right this won't compete with a Prius. In fact it won't compete with any car period. It's a new niche usually plugged by buses, mopeds and bicycles. Very wisely as a car is soooo much better than this pram
13 January 2009 20:17
This car is far from "crap." It is the future. On another point, one of the things that drives me crazy about critics of cars like this is (a) difficulty charging and (b) relatively short range. Difficulty charging isn't the car's fault. Talk to your apartment building owner or municipality. In most places, something WILL be worked out in time. For those of us who can run an extension cord to such an EV, great. As for the range, this sort of EV will be most useful as a sole car in places like New York City or as a second car in the US suburbs; it DOESN'T need the unlimited range of a Prius. I must admit 50 miles is a little on the short side, though. For me, adequate range and max speed would be 100-150 miles and 75-80 mph.

Dr. Carmen Ortiz Hendricks, the Dorothy and David I. Schachne Dean of Yeshiva University's Wurzweiler School of Social Work, recently published the second edition of Learning to Teach, Teaching to Learn: A Guide for Social Work Education (Council on Social Work Education Press 2013). In the new edition, Hendricks and her co-authors Jeanne Bertrand Finch of Stony Brook University, State University of New York, and Cheryl L. Franks of Columbia University and John Jay College of Criminal Justice, expand the reach of the original 2005 guide to highlight the skills field instructors need to convey the art and science of professional social practice in the context of competency-based education.
"Different times demand a new look at field education, how it is taught and how it is learned," said Hendricks. "We need to address social and economic injustice and help our students understand how to apply a human rights framework to their practice. Social work students are called upon to be advocated and organizers as much as clinicians and managers of increasingly diverse client populations and communities – we hope this text helps them prepare for the brave new world of social work."

Beautiful Incline village home, away from home with affordable rate!
We are offering the best rates for the quality for our remodeled vacation condo in Incline Village at north Lake Tahoe. This 3 bedroom-3 bathroom condo can sleep up to 8 people. This condo is 5 minutes drive to Diamond Peak ski resort which is very beautiful and family friendly. There are several other larger nearby ski resorts such as Mt rose and North star.
We stayed for a short weekend to attend a wedding at the nearby golf course. We're a family of four, with two little ones under the age of five. They loved being in the upstairs bedroom, as it overlooked the common area below. The kitchen was well equipped with all the basics as well as many bonus spices and condiments which would have been costly to buy at the store.
The place was as described in the ad...spacious and a great value in Lake Tahoe. We had family stay in a small hotel room nearby and, with their resort fee, they paid far more than we did.
On another note, we left our child's school bag in the parking lot when we packed our car drove back to Los angeles. Our bag was mailed, yes mailed, back to us! Which reminds me that the owner was wonderfully responsive to emails prior to our visit. I cannot stress how much customer service means to me, and this went above and beyond my high expectations.
This is our first time not staying in a hotel and we loved it! We'll be doing this again and couldn't be more happy to recommend staying here. Thank you!
North east Tahoe offers Sapphire blue sky and lake views that will be kept tucked in your memory for life. Incline Village is one of the most prestigious towns in Tahoe area with a number of private and public beaches within less than a mile. Incline Village public library, Raley's grocery store, and a number of quality restaurants are within walking distance of the condo.

Boston is abuzz that a local off-duty cop may have hurled a racial epithet at the centerfielder for the Red Sox. The policeman has been suspended and faces a possible termination. For almost a week, I struggled to find the precise word used by the cop. It turns out the policeman is alleged to have called Carl Crawford a "Monday." What on earth is a Monday? I queried other Bostonians. None had ever heard the term used in that manner. Read my article @ the American Conservative on the bizarre transformation of a day of the week into a term of derision.
To my amazement, when the local Fox affiliate reported this story, they never used the word "Monday". Instead, they kept referring to the word as a day of the week. Do we now have a "M" word? The world is upside down.
The world is most definitely upside down.
We were a stronger and more vibrant nation when stuff like this just rolled off and we didn't need to concoct vocabulary to accommodate some cockamamie mode of political correctness!
Another small reason why the world is losing respect and fear for the United States as a sovereign nation.

Fast delivery, planters were a perfect size for our greenhouse tomatoes intead of grow bags, we can reuse them next season too. Unlike the ones we bought locally these have a plastic pipe to fit that goes to the bottom of pot so you can pour water directly onto the reserve for self watering, without disturbing the plants.Thank you,very pleased with purchase.
Great product. I have a patio rose in mine, in a full-sun very hot position. I would never have dared to grow a pot plant there before, but this one can go several days without watering. Very fast delivery too. Full marks !
Large capacity. Good for arrangement of house plants or for over-wintering non-hardy container plants. Very pleased with container
Great for hanging out my plants and no worry.
Excellent way of raising herbs and other plants on a small patio.
I think this is an excellent product considering the fact that our climate is changing and water needs to be conserved as much as possible. Also, I have bought these pots for 2 elderly ladies who find watering their plants difficult and it means that when it rains the pots conserve water for when conditions are dryer and, also, when they do need to water them they can go slightly longer between waterings without the risk of the plants drying out. Further, one of the ladies has had some of these pots for some time and the plants in those pots always look much bigger and healthier than those in an ordinary pot.

Rick Atkinson, recipient of the 2010 Pritzker Military Library Literature Award for Lifetime Achievement in Military Writing, is the bestselling author of The Day of Battle, An Army at Dawn, The Long Gray Line, and In the Company of Soldiers. The final volume of his Liberation Trilogy, covering the last year of the European war, from Normandy to Berlin, will be published in 2013. Atkinson was a staff writer and senior editor at The Washington Post for twenty years, and his many awards include Pulitzer Prizes for journalism and history. He lives in Washington, D.C.
By February 1945, when Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston S. Churchill, and Joseph Stalin met at the Crimean resort of Yalta, the Grand Alliance had become the most successful military coalition in modern history. The Big Three, with help from lesser allies among what Roosevelt called the united nations, had nearly obliterated the fascist Axis. The German Reich had but three months left to live, the Japanese regime barely twice that. In the three years since the Allies had formally made common cause, they had won great victories on three continents and the high seas, liberating the Mediterranean, most of Europe, and much of Asia from Axis oppression, and all but ending, righteously, a catastrophe that would cost sixty million dead worldwide.
Six months after the triumphant gathering at Yalta, the war-winning alliance had largely come unglued. Collaboration against the existential threat of fascist totalitarianism was supplanted by mutual suspicion and recrimination. Blood allies had become geopolitical rivals, if not blood enemies. The long, sanguinary war would become a long, fraught, dangerous peace.
Michael Dobbs tells this story with panache, lucidity, and exceptional scholarship. Six Months in 1945 ably sketches the big arrows on the map, showing how the concluding chapters of World War II became the opening chapters of the Cold War, shaping the world we inhabit today. Characters long dead return to life, not just the obvious architects of Allied victory, but vivid, vital, less well-known figures whom Dobbs deftly rescues from obscurity. From Yalta to Potsdam, the tale is told with authority and clarity, drawing on memoirs, archives, and a wealth of other sources, including many in Russian.
The bevy of books on the end of the war and its immediate aftermath, large and impressive though it may be, is enriched by Six Months in 1945.

And Buddha is right; the same is my experience. I see you all as enlightened - not only you but the trees and the mountains too. The whole existence is enlightened! But man has one privilege: he is free to choose, he is free to believe. He is free to forget who he is, he is also free to remember it.
Think over the word remembering. It really means becoming part again of the whole, becoming a member again of the family that existence is: re-member. It means that we suddenly learn the language that we had forgotten. It is like a name forgotten: you see somebody on the road, you recognize him, you feel that you know who he is, but you cannot remember. You have forgotten, although you can remember this much: that you have known him before. You say, "His name is just on the tip of my tongue." But if it is on the tip of your tongue, then why is it not coming? You feel absolutely certain; the name is just on the tip of your tongue. And then you try hard: the harder you try, the more difficult it becomes, because whenever you try very hard with something you become tense, you become closed. Your consciousness becomes narrower and narrower and it becomes more and more difficult in such a tension, in such anxiety, to remember.
Then you drop the whole project, thinking that it is not possible. You forget all about it. You start listening to music or you go into the garden and you sit under a tree, or you start doing something else, sipping tea or talking to somebody.and then suddenly from nowhere the name surfaces.
This is the whole secret of enlightenment: it happens in relaxation, it happens in a deep state of rest. Surrender means relaxing. Ego means tension, carrying a load of anxiety, and unnecessarily.
I have heard that one woman, an old woman, was traveling by bus, and she was trembling and continuously asking what stop it was.
The stranger sitting by her side said, "Relax, don't be worried. The conductor will go on announcing what stop it is, and if you are too worried I will call the conductor. You can tell him where you want to get down so he can keep a note of it - and you relax!"
He called the conductor and the woman said, "Please remember. I don't want to miss my stop. I have to reach somewhere very urgently."
The conductor said, "Okay, I will make a note of it, although even without your asking I would announce it. But I will make a note of it and I will come to you particularly and tell you whenever your stop comes. But you relax. Don't be so worried about it!"
She was perspiring and trembling and looked so tense. So she said, "Okay, note it down - the bus terminus."
Now if it is the bus terminus, why should you worry? How can you miss it? There is no way of missing it!

How To Judge The Best From American Idol
The show that has been possibly the biggest success for FOX is caught in what looks like a free fall in the ratings. Hard to be disappointed in any TV show that has 19.5 million viewers, but that number from Wednesday night's Aspen auditions for American Idol is down over 20% from last year. This season is still yet to be determined, so let's look back into the past of Idol and try to determine the best the show has had to offer over the last 10 years.

Snake blood, pro or contra?
▷ BLOG NAVIGATION: Taiwan>> Taipei Travel Page>> Food in Taipei>> Wanhua District>> Snake Alley
I'm glad you decided against it. I was going to ask how they killed the snake.. It doesn't look like they are being treated very well.. Living in those small spaces. And to die in such a way.. I don't really have a lot love for snakes, but they are living creatures and eve if they can't think they can feel pain. I will never understand why people feel the need to inflict pain on animals, it just so cruel and completely unnecessary. Why can't they just chop the head of?
ReplyDelete@Kit: Yep, it gave me the shivers, too.
@fufu: ah, poor you. But how's your sexual power? Did it increase? Haha.. that's what they tell you to make you buy that strawberry juice :P
@Carina: Well, I'd probably eat the soup, if I hadn't seen the scene before, because meat is just meat, cut in pieces, that would not disgust me. But I just couldn't, I was a bit shocked, hehe. I think they don't chop the head off, it may bleed to much. He somehow slowly extracts the blood and fills up a small glass, the blood drips slowly.
@Julie: Wow, you were here at the same market? Cool. You're much braver than I am, hehe. Kudos to you.
@Manju: Ehm.. sorry "-_-
@Nashe: You had divine help :)
I seriously think SARS came from Asian when someone ate a wild animal and it wasn't cooked properly or something - and the virus transferred from that species to ours. So I avoid eating anything that's not typically farm raised here. Even then, there's so many chemicals put into farm raised animals that I sometimes wonder if it's slowly killing us all :(
Have you tried blood pudding? I haven't. It's another trend in Asia - you can get it at Asian supermarkets. I'm not sure what's up with Asian folks eating wild exotic animals and claiming it's great for your sex life, health and longevity. Asians will tell you ANYTHING to sell it to you. Sex sells. So does health food/weight loss products. It turns me off. I just like regular Canadian food :)
I'm surprised how thin the consistency of the snake blood is too. It looks like fruit punch! I thought it would be thicker as well.
Well, I hope you have a lovely weekend despite this crazy snake blood start!
@daisy: Haha.. same here. Thanks but no thanks.
@Karen: Haha.. I'm planning to write about what Asians say about the food they sell, it's good for this, it's good for that, hehe. Everything's special :P I tried blood pudding, yeah. Not really my cup of tea. I hope you mean the one they serve with stinky tofu usually. It's so soft, which sometimes creeps me out a lil. Thanks. I'll have a great weekend, I'll be going to South Taiwan. :)
@Carine: Haha.. I can't stomach the snake blood myself, too :)
snake blood? ah, it's very common here in Indonesia.. usually the snake blood will be mixed with cola, whyski or vodka, to reduce the awful smell..
for people who want smooth skin, free from acne, and all of other skin problems, drink that. It's VERY EFFECTIVE, I can say this because my auntie did that years ago.. :)
for sexual power, maybe yes because snake is a hot-blooded animal, but the side-effect is making your body feels really hot (abnormally lo). I don't like snakes, so I think I'll pass for this one, hehe.. :P
I went there and did drink it. They also have a soup with the snake meat. Can't recommend that one though: It's 50% tiny bones and a pain to eat.
And yeah, I heard it should be like a type of natural viagra-like medicine. That's why there was a street for prostitutes further down the alley before. You can still see it, but now that kind of thing is illegal.
I don't think it's that cruel. Many animals muscles will still move a bit after they're dead. You'll see the same thing happening with eels for an example, but I don't think it's that bad. The snake is already dead (or at least too unconscious to feel anything anyway) so I don't think it's all that bad. There's worse things in this world. Have you seen a western style chicken factory?
Anyway: I went to a store and asked if it was okay to take pictures before I took any and people said it wasn't a problem.
If you want to use my pictures, feel free - as long as you don't use them for anything fishy such as commercials or try to take ownership over them. :p
(If you click the location-link in Image Info: Snake Alley, then you'll see all the pictures I took there.)
@Ceecile: Wow, thanks for enlightening me on snake blood. I was a bit doubtful of its effects, hehe. But still, I rather not try, especially after what you told me :)
@Floreta: I wrote in my post, that I haven't tried snake blood nor snake soup. :)
@Sander: Oh, I know about that red light district, my girlfriend told me everything about that Longshan area :) Oh, glad you told me about the bones, I don't like to eat fish with many tiny bones, let alone snakes.
I saw your photos, thanks for sharing, your pics are great as always, but I won't use them, thanks a lot for your offer. I think the ones I posted here should suffice for now. My 'snake' topic is covered :)
per your last picture: you don't just drink the raw blood. it's actually mixed with sufficient alcohol to kill the bacteria and other potentially toxic elements.
ReplyDeleteHi! I discovered this awesome blog post while doing research to find the REAL names of the places I used to go as a teenager living in Taiwan. I spent time in Taipei with my missionary grandmother between the years of 1989-91 (back when the Snake Alley area had a sinful reputation, just before prostitution was made illegal).
I visited Snake Alley whenever I could make it into the city. I love, love, LOVE snakes, so the market was an extremely sad place for me. However, I would work out a deal with the owners of the killing booths: They would provide me with non-venomous snakes to hold - sometimes two or three at once - and I would stand next to the shop simply interacting with the reptiles. The sight of a light-haired American girl handling snakes would draw crowds of at least a hundred people within minutes (I'm not kidding!). Once everybody had gathered to watch me, the snake guy would grab up his microphone and begin his spiel (which, naturally, included lies about who I was and what health problems his snakes had cured in me). In exchange for putting on my "show", the proprietor would allow me to take few snakes back to my rural home for release.
I don't know if my method of "snake rescue" helped the problem or actually made the situation worse for future captives, but it gave a animal-loving little girl a feeling of accomplishment.
Thanks for a great blog!
Thanks for the blog, very interesting and most of all informative. I am glad that you talked about how they kill the snakes. I was going to go but know now that I cannot visit this place...

i have a hibiscus and i am wondering what is the minimum temps it can take without harm? It is tree like and and gets yellow blossoms on it. Thanks
Follow-Up Postings:
Ryan What type of hibiscus are you referring to? Some are cold hardy to zone 5 or lower and others are tropical. Tropicals do best kept above at least 45-50 degrees. I winter tropicals at 38 degree minimum low in the greenhouse and they survive. randy |
i do not know the type, is there any other way to know if it is the tropical kind? |
- Posted by BeachBarbie z9a NC (My Page) on Tue, Apr 19, 05 at 21:18
Since you say it as labeled as a tree hibiscus, I'm betting it's a tropical. All tropical hibiscus are the species "Hibiscus rosa-sinensis." The plants themselves look similar; it's the flowers that vary. If you still have questions, post a pic of the whole plant. Barb |

I hate SNITCHES!!!!! Google Karl Rubicam Douchebag.
"Mr. Tang has been my friend for twenty years," says Busck, who declined to say why he took the money. "In those twenty years, he has never shown me any indication of any wrongdoing or anything I would consider inappropriate."
Sometime after that, Busck says he got a call from Carbone, with whom he was familiar from his time as mayor. "Officer Carbone called me and said to me that I was not going to be charged with anything. And I thanked him and I hung up," Busck remembers.
Meanwhile, Carbone was meeting weekly and discussing the investigation with Assistant United States Attorney Wayne Campbell, who was assigned to develop a case against the drug ring. One of three sergeants serving on the task force, this was Carbone's second stint; he'd also been a supervisor there in the 1990s.
Check out a map of the Operation Fortune Cookie raids and a followup on one of the former drug homes at blogs.westword.com/latestword.
Campbell declined to discuss the leak, but says he's known Carbone "both professionally and personally" for eighteen years. Still, despite their weekly meetings, he says he didn't know Carbone was acquainted with Tang.
About two months after the bust, DEA agents showed up at North Metro headquarters in Thornton — but not to help with the Tang case. Having apparently cleared their own people of the leak, the agency had decided to investigate the task force members.
"They came into the task force and told us, 'You are all suspects,'" says one of the sources at North Metro. "They wanted to talk to all of us and wanted our cooperation."
The source wonders why an outside party such as the FBI wasn't conducting the inquiry, rather than an agency involved in the bust. The source also wonders why everyone at North Metro was allowed to continue working the case while they were being investigated for a potential confidentiality breach.
"The reaction was, 'Goddamn it, this is our place. Fuck no if someone is going to discredit our work,'" says the source, who cooperated with the DEA nevertheless. The ensuing investigation involved lengthy interviews, financial audits and polygraph tests.
"It was a very serious breach. I can tell you I have been in this chair for nineteen years now, and nothing has ever happened like this one," Campbell says.
The DEA eventually produced a lengthy report on its findings, a report that North Metro's board of governors — the chiefs of the seven police departments and Adams County Sheriff Darr — were given a chance to read at the DEA's Denver office one day last January. Only a few chose to do so, and none were allowed to keep a copy.
The fact that those who read it didn't take any action in response suggests there must not have been enough evidence to implicate anyone at North Metro, says Tom Gorman, director of the federal Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area program, which oversees North Metro and other task forces in the region.
"In a situation where there appears to be a leak, let's say circumstances are such that it might look like one individual is involved," says Gorman. "But when you finish a very exhaustive investigation over a very long term, if I don't have enough to find somebody accountable, if I don't even have enough to take administrative action, you have to admit the evidence must be pretty circumstantial."
In April, the Broomfield City and County Attorney's Office, acting as legal counsel for North Metro, denied Westword's open-records request for the document on the grounds that it was "contrary to public interest" because it was a criminal justice record compiled for law enforcement. Last week, the U.S. Justice Department denied a similar request for the report.
"That investigation is ongoing; it is not closed," says Broomfield Chief of Police Tom Deland, speaking on behalf of North Metro. "We don't want to talk about that part of the investigation until it is all complete. They are all part of one investigation. The assumption is that when it is all wrapped up, the investigation will be made available."
But Sweetin, head of the Denver DEA office, says his agents have completed their investigation of North Metro. "The part that DEA did was really kind of an adjunct to the original case," he said in a January interview. "We have completed our investigation of that thread of this case."
For most of the past year, the result of the investigation into the grow house ring had seemed as uncertain as the internal search for the leak. In the weeks following the raids, only seven people were charged with crimes in U.S. District Court, a group that included Tang's brother Yue de Deng and his brother-in-law Xui Yun Li.
Those defendants could have faced five-year mandatory minimum sentences for cultivating 100 or more marijuana plants. But since the judges on the cases determined that the defendants met federal safety-valve provisions — such as being first-time offenders, not having used firearms and not being leaders in the operation — they imposed lesser sentences. Four of the defendants received prison terms of eighteen and thirty months, while a fifth got three years of probation. Yue de Deng got eighteen months and a $7,500 fine. A sixth defendant had all charges dropped, and the seventh is awaiting sentencing.

While impacting on the entire organizations, OSHA also places certain responsibilities on the supervisor. OSHA requires that the supervisor keep very specific records. These include (1) OSHA Form 200 (Log and Summary of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses). Each recordable occupational injury and illness must be recorded in this form within six working days from the time the employer learns of the accident or illness. (2) OSHA Form 101 (Supplementary Record of Occupational Injuries and Illness). This form contains much more detail about each injury or illness that has occurred. It must also be completed within six working days from the time the employer learns of the accident or illness. Only those injuries and illnesses resulting in deaths, lost workdays, loss of consciousness, restriction of work or motion, transfer to another job, or medical treatment (other than first aid) must be reported, Injuries requiring temporary first aid do not have to be recorded. Substitute forms are allowed for both Form 200 and Form 101 under certain conditions.
Supervisors are frequently asked to accompany OSHA officials while they inspect an organization`s physical facilities. Because many organizations and supervisors feel threatened by an OSHA inspection, it is natural to want to be antagonistic. However, it is in the best interests of the supervisor to be cooperative with the OSHA officials. An uncooperative supervisor could cause OSHA officials to be more hard-nosed than usual. The end result could be stiffer penalties imposed by OSHA.
Supervisors should be familiar with the OSHA regulations affecting their departments. They should constantly be on the lookout for safety violations. As previously discussed, it is the supervisor`s responsibility to see that all safety rules are followed by the employees. This would naturally include all OSHA rules and regulations.
Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false by writing "T" or "F" in the space provided.
- Most safety programs are designed to teach employees to react quickly in an unsafe situation.
- Even in organizations that have a safety director, supervisors have responsibility for seeing that the safety directives are carried out.
- Each individual state has responsibility for seeing that the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) is enforced.
- OSHA requires that the supervisor keep very specific records.
- False. Most safety programs are geared toward accident prevention and not how to react to accidents.
- True. Although supervisors do not usually develop the safety procedures and rules, they are the ones who must see that they are carried out.
- False. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration of the U.S. Department of Labor enforces OSHA.
- True. These required forms include (1) OSHA Form 200 (Log and Summary of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses) and (2) OSHA Form 101 (Supplementary Record of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses).

SL Benfica took a tentative step towards their third UEFA Europa League quarter-final appearance in four seasons with a narrow victory against a determined FC Girondins de Bordeaux team.
Goalkeeper Cédric Carrasso's unlucky 21st-minute own goal proved the difference, but the French side's coach Francis Gillot will have seen enough to suggest his charges can respond at the Stade Chaban-Delmas in a week's time.
Bordeaux claimed a draw on their previous visit to Benfica in October 1986, yet the home side had the bulk of the early opportunities. Rodrigo, 22 yesterday, had an early header saved by Carrasso and then sliced across goal from an angle after strike partner Óscar Cardozo's delightful cross.
The visitors moved the ball tidily in midfield and nearly conjured the most bizarre of openers on the quarter-hour mark, Nicolas Maurice-Belay's through ball evading Ludovic Obraniak and Artur before rolling agonisingly into the side netting.
Despite that chance, it was Benfica who made the breakthrough as Rodrigo found space to get a shot away just outside the area. The left-footed connection was sweet and, when it cannoned off the bar, the ball hit Carrasso on the way down and bounced into the net.
Gillot's side responded well, defying their patchy domestic form with another hearty European performance. Only an impeccable challenge by Luisão denied Diego Rolán an equaliser after a slick passing move, and Artur had to be sharp to parry a well-struck effort from range by the lively Obraniak.
The second half was more circumspect. Rodrigo almost created a second for Cardozo, but Carrasso made a good diving save from the Paraguayan's lustily hit volley. The away side grew stronger as the match wore on, and only Artur's smart save from substitute Fahid Ben Khalfallah in the dying minutes preserved Benfica's lead as the tie heads to south-west France.

A song of praise. (1-5) A declaration of the gospel blessings. (6-8) The destruction of the enemies of Christ's church. (9-12)
Verses 1-5 However this might show the deliverance of the Jews out of captivity, it looked further, to the praises that should be offered up to God for Christ's victories over our spiritual enemies, and the comforts he has provided for all believers. True faith simply credits the Lord's testimony, and relies on his truth to perform his promises. As God weakens the strong who are proud and secure, so he strengthens the weak that are humble, and stay themselves upon him. God protects his people in all weathers. The Lord shelters those who trust in him from the insolence of oppressors. Their insolence is but the noise of strangers; it is like the heat of the sun scorching in the middle of the day; but where is it when the sun is set? The Lord ever was, and ever will be, the Refuge of distressed believers. Having provided them a shelter, he teaches them to flee unto it.
Verses 6-8 The kind reception of repentant sinners, is often in the New Testament likened to a feast. The guests invited are all people, Gentiles as well as Jews. There is that in the gospel which strengthens and makes glad the heart, and is fit for those who are under convictions of sin, and mourning for it. There is a veil spread over all nations, for all sat in darkness. But this veil the Lord will destroy, by the light of his gospel shining in the world, and the power of his Spirit opening men's eyes to receive it. He will raise those to spiritual life who were long dead in trespasses and sins. Christ will himself, in his resurrection, triumph over death. Grief shall be banished; there shall be perfect and endless joy. Those that mourn for sin shall be comforted. Those who suffer for Christ shall have consolations. But in the joys of heaven, and not short of them, will fully be brought to pass this saying, God shall wipe away all tears. The hope of this should now do away over-sorrow, all weeping that hinders sowing. Sometimes, in this world God takes away the reproach of his people from among men; however, it will be done fully at the great day. Let us patiently bear sorrow and shame now; both will be done away shortly.
Verses 9-12 With joy and praise will those entertain the glad tidings of the Redeemer, who looked for him; and with a triumphant song will glorified saints enter into the joy of their Lord. And it is not in vain to wait for him; for the mercy comes at last, with abundant recompence for the delay. The hands once stretched out upon the cross, to make way for our salvation, will at length be stretched forth to destroy all impenitent sinners. Moab is here put for all adversaries of God's people; they shall all be trodden down or threshed. God shall bring down the pride of the enemies by one humbling judgment after another. This destruction of Moab is typical of Christ's victory, and the pulling down of Satan's strong holds. Therefore, beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord; for your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
Isaiah 25:1-12 . CONTINUATION OF THE TWENTY-FOURTH CHAPTER. THANKSGIVING FOR THE OVERTHROW OF THE APOSTATE FACTION, AND THE SETTING UP OF JEHOVAH'S THRONE ON ZION.
The restoration from Babylon and re-establishment of the theocracy was a type and pledge of this.
1. wonderful--( Isaiah 9:6 ).
counsels of old--( Isaiah 42:9 , 46:10 ). Purposes planned long ago; here, as to the deliverance of His people.
truth--Hebrew, Amen; covenant-keeping, faithful to promises; the peculiar characteristic of Jesus ( Revelation 3:14 ).
2. a city . . . heap--Babylon, type of the seat of Antichrist, to be destroyed in the last days (compare Jeremiah 51:37 , with Revelation 18:1-24 , followed, as here, by the song of the saints' thanksgiving in Revelation 19:1-21 ). "Heaps" is a graphic picture of Babylon and Nineveh as they now are.
palace--Babylon regarded, on account of its splendor, as a vast palace. But MAURER translates, "a citadel."
of strangers--foreigners, whose capital pre-eminently Babylon was, the metropolis of the pagan world. "Aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, strangers from the covenants of promise" ( Isaiah 29:5 , Ephesians 2:12 ; see in contrast, Joel 3:17 ).
never be built--( Isaiah 13:19 Isaiah 13:20 , &c.).
3. strong people--This cannot apply to the Jews; but other nations on which Babylon had exercised its cruelty ( Isaiah 14:12 ) shall worship Jehovah, awed by the judgment inflicted on Babylon ( Isaiah 23:18 ).
city--not Babylon, which shall then be destroyed, but collectively for the cities of the surrounding nations.
4. the poor . . . needy--the Jews, exiles from their country ( Isaiah 26:6 , 41:17 ).
heat--calamity ( Isaiah 4:6 , 32:2 ).
blast--that is, wrath.
storm--a tempest of rain, a winter flood, rushing against and overthrowing the wall of a house.
5. Translate, "As the heat in a dry land (is brought down by the shadow of a cloud, so) thou shalt bring down the tumult (the shout of triumph over their enemies) of strangers (foreigners); and as the heat by the shadow of the cloud (is brought low), so the branch (the offspring) of the terrible ones shall be brought low." PARKHURST translates the Hebrew for "branch," the exulting song. JEROME translates the last clause, "And as when the heat burns under a cloud, thou shalt make the branch of the terrible ones to wither"; the branch withering even under the friendly shade of a cloud typifies the wicked brought to ruin, not for want of natural means of prosperity, but by the immediate act of God.
6. in this mountain--Zion: Messiah's kingdom was to begin, and is to have its central seat hereafter, at Jerusalem, as the common country of "all nations" ( Isaiah 2:2 , &c.).
all people--( Isaiah 56:7 , Daniel 7:14 , Luke 2:10 ).
feast--image of felicity ( Psalms 22:26 Psalms 22:27 , Matthew 8:11 , Luke 14:15 , Revelation 19:9 ; compare Psalms 36:8 , 87:1-7 ).
fat things--delicacies; the rich mercies of God in Christ ( Isaiah 55:2 , Jeremiah 31:14 , Job 36:16 ).
wines on the lees--wine which has been long kept on the lees; that is, the oldest and most generous wine ( Jeremiah 48:11 ).
marrow--the choicest dainties ( Psalms 63:5 ).
well refined--cleared of all dregs.
7. face of . . . covering--image from mourning, in which it was usual to cover the face with a veil ( 2 Samuel 15:30 ). "Face of covering," that is, the covering itself; as in Job 41:13 , "the face of his garment," the garment itself. The covering or veil is the mist of ignorance as to a future state, and the way to eternal life, which enveloped the nations ( Ephesians 4:18 ) and the unbelieving Jew ( 2 Corinthians 3:15 ). The Jew, however, is first to be converted before the conversion of "all nations"; for it is "in this mountain," namely, Zion, that the latter are to have the veil taken off ( Psalms 102:13 Psalms 102:15 Psalms 102:16 Psalms 102:21 Psalms 102:22 , Romans 11:12 ).
8. Quoted in 1 Corinthians 15:54 , in support of the resurrection.
swallow up . . . in victory--completely and permanently "abolish" ( 2 Timothy 1:10 , Revelation 20:14 , 21:4 ; compare Genesis 2:17 , 3:22 ).
rebuke--(Compare 8:38 , Hebrews 11:26 ).
9. And it shall be said in that day, &c.--"After death has been swallowed up for ever, the people of God, who had been delivered from the hand of death, shall say to the Lord, Lo, this is our God, whom unbelievers regarded as only a man" [JEROME]. "The words are so moulded as to point us specially to the person of the Son of God, who 'saves' us; as He vouchsafed to Israel temporal saving, so to His elect He appears for the purpose of conferring eternal salvation" [VITRINGA]. The Jews, however, have a special share in the words, This is
we have waited--"Waited" is characteristic of God's people in all ages ( Genesis 49:18 , Titus 2:13 ).
we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation--compare Psalms 118:24 , which refers to the second coming of Jesus (compare Psalms 118:26 , with Luke 13:35 ).
10. rest--as its permanent protector; on "hand" in this sense; compare Ezra 7:6 Ezra 7:28 .
Moab--while Israel is being protected, the foe is destroyed; Moab is the representative of all the foes of God's people.
under him--Rather, "in his own place" or "country" ( Exodus 10:23 , 16:29 ).
for the dunghill--Rather, "in the water of the dung heap," in which straw was trodden to make it manure ( Psalms 83:10 ). HORSLEY translates either, "in the waters of Madmenah," namely, for the making of bricks; or as the Septuagint, "as the threshing-floor is trampled by the corn-drag" (see Margin; Micah 4:11-13 ).
11. he--Jehovah shall spread His hands to strike the foe on this side and on that, with as little effort as a Israel's Song of Praise for Restoration swimmer spreads forth his arms to cleave a passage through the water [CALVIN]. ( Zechariah 5:3 ). LOWTH takes "he" as Moab, who, in danger of sinking, shall strain every nerve to save himself; but Jehovah (and "he") shall cause him to sink ("bring down the pride" of Moab, Isaiah 16:6 ).
with the spoils of . . . hands--literally, "the craftily acquired spoils" of his (Moab's) hands [BARNES]. Moab's pride, as well as the sudden gripe of his hands (namely, whereby he tries to save himself from drowning) [LOWTH]. "Together with the joints of his hands," that is, though Moab struggle against Jehovah hand and foot [MAURER].
12. fortress--the strongholds of Moab, the representative of the foes of God's people [BARNES]. Babylon [MAURER]. The society of infidels represented as a city ( Revelation 11:8 ).

Endovascular surgery uses minimally invasive procedures to correct problems in blood vessels from within the vessels themselves. For example, endovascular surgery can be used to treat a thoracic aneurysm without opening the chest.
This technique has many benefits that open surgery does not, including a smaller scar, less pain and a quicker recovery. This procedure is often used in patients whose overall health makes open surgery too dangerous. With the use of a catheter, a stent graft is inserted into a small artery through a tiny incision in the groin. Using x-ray, the stent graft is guided to the damaged area of the aorta. The stent graft is then expanded, providing a reinforced channel for the blood to flow and thereby reducing the pressure in the damaged area of the artery, which prevents rupture.
Our surgeons and interventional cardiologists are highly experienced in all the most advanced minimally invasive techniques, and we always attempt to use the least invasive approach medically possible.

Het Grachtenhuis
The Het Grachtenhuis, or the Canal House, opened its doors in 2011 and features a series of exhibitions devoted to the history of Amsterdam's 17th-century canals and the city development project behind them. The self-guided tours utilize audio guides and a series of interactive installations to provide a uniquely entertaining and engaging rundown of how the system was designed and built. 3D video projections, miniature city models, animations and galleries all help to bring the exhibition to life, making it a thoroughly modern museum experience.
The Canal House itself, perched on the banks of the Herengracht or 'gentleman's canal', is just as impressive outside as it is from the inside. The mid-17th century stately townhouse was designed by Philips Vingboons and inhabited through the years by a number of prominent Dutch tradesmen, including millionaire Jan Willink (famous for his generous donation to the Americans during the War of Independence). Today, it's a designated national monument and has been restored to its former glory, with original floors and wall paintings, as well as an idyllic courtyard garden.
