Faith & Community Based Partnerships a Key Part of Detroit's Plan to Prevent Youth Violence
Over the past year Detroit has made considerable progress under the leadership of Mayor Dave Bing, Police Chief Ralph Godbee, US Attorney Barbara McQuade and their talented staff who helped to lead the Youth Violence Prevention efforts in the city. We toured the three target areas in Detroit's Youth Violence Prevention plan (Cody, Denby and Osborn). A key part of the plan is the successful implementation of their Safe Routes initiative. One of the primary goals of Safe Routes is to increase the safety of students on their way to and from school. Detroit has successfully enlisted faith based and community based volunteers who build relationships with students, and also patrol the surrounding communities acting as additional eyes and ears on the street. We met with representatives from "Men on Patrol", "the Man Network" and "M.A.D.E. Men" all volunteers who everyday of the week are up patrolling as early as 6:30am (rain, sleet or snow) to make sure that young people in their communities feel safe and are safe on their way to and from school.
Mayor Dave Bing speaks with Deputy Assistant to the President, Michael Strautmanis, DOJ Office of Intergovernmental Affairs Director, Portia Roberson and Office of Justice Programs Chief of Staff Thomas Abt.
Congressman John Conyers, US Attorney Barbara McQuade, DOJ FBNP Director Eugene Schneeberg, Strong Cities, Strong Communities lead Portia Roberson, Mayor Dave Bing, Chief Ralph Godbee at Press Conference aimed at elevating the importance of preventing Youth Violence in Detroit.
- We had the pleasure of announcing a $5.7 million DOJ COPS grant to the Detroit Police Department, which will pay for 25 new officers assigned directly to this initiative. The Detroiters were grateful and excited about this concrete demonstration of support for their work.
- In various meetings throughout the two days tour Mayor Dave Bing, Chief of Police Ralph Godbee, US Attorney Barbara McQuade and Congressman John Conyers and Hansen Clarke all demonstrated their commitment to keeping young people safe in the city.
- Participated in a packed room of committed steering committee members including youth representatives from YOUTH VOICES.
- We met with Officer Monica Evans from DPD who heads up the cities Operation Safe Passages: a community and law enforcement partnerships to create in-school alternatives to suspension and expulsion.
- Another central theme of the site visit was a series of meetings discussing the planning and implementation of a Cease Fire intervention model in Detroit.
- The federal team was very fortunate to be able to participate in a Student Roundtable at Osborn High School. This discussion was facilitated by Chief Godbee and included student representatives from the NSO Youth Leaderships initiative. The Chief and students discussed how they felt safer since the launch of Safe Routes and can see the increased police presence and volunteer presence, and discussed ways in which youth and police can partner moving forward to make the Osborn area safer.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Hmm...not exactly. Some of the Sitrep views have to be taken with a
grain of salt as they are more likely to be released late in the
night. My reporting is based on a 12am to 12am period. So pieces
that are released late in the night have less time to be viewed in
comparison to the other pieces. It's not a perfect system of
analysis, but it allow us to make actionable decisions regarding the
content released the day prior.

Rain, cold, and even a little thunder didn't stop John Wyatt from walking to the ballots from his home in Hartford.
"I would have come out and voted for Hillary Rodham Clinton even if there were a blizzard. Nothing is going to stop me from voting for history and for Hillary."
The democrats who filtered in to vote late in the morning said that their votes really did matter in the close race between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Emmanuel Johnson from Hartford considered the two condidates, potentially the first female or first african american president.
"Lets give a woman a chance. Woman is a mother. Mothers know how their children feel. When the men are out there doing their thing, mothers are home with the babies. Its too much of a men's world, and they're messing up out there. These are great United States. If Germany has a woman, Britain has a woman, lets see what a woman can do for us."
The rain picked up during the afternoon as Charles Weismann arrived at the poles. He had been to see both Clinton and Obama as they campaigned in Hartford. He's sticking with his original choice, Barack Obama.
"Don't get me wrong I don't put a lot of distance between Barack and Hillary, but I still think Barack's vision is more clear and more realistic than Hillarys."
Weissman's comments have been echoed by many democrats around the state. He says its a good time to have either the first female president or the first African American president of the United States.

How Consolidation Puts a stop to Debt
The average student loan debt has climbed to $29, 400, based on a recent report on the Institute for College or university Access and Success. The monthly payment for just a loan of this size, on an ordinary repayment plan, is approximately $340. To afford this monthly instalment, it is estimated you'll need to have an annual income of around $40, 000.
Unfortunately, many students borrow significantly more than $29, 400. Many graduate without having the ability to find gainful career, and still additional leave college with loans but no degree. Student loan debt relief is possible through consolidation and choosing an easily affordable repayment plan.
Important things about Consolidation
The US federal created the student loan consolidation program for making student loan payments less costly. When you merge your Federal student loan debt, you have repayment plans together with lower to no monthly instalment (depending on your current income), one convenient monthly instalment, a fixed monthly interest for the life in the loan, and reconditioned deferment options.
Affordable monthly installments
Consolidating can lower your monthly installments. Some borrowers, beneath the income-based repayment selection, are able to scale back their monthly payment to zero. Dependant upon your profession, you may also qualify for mortgage forgiveness after producing 120 on-time installments.
The US federal estimates that lots of the borrowers who default on the student loans would make use of enrollment in a good income-based plan, that's available through debt consolidation. If you are having trouble making your monthly installments or have exhausted your current deferment and forbearance options, and/or want to prevent default, a Direct Consolidation Loan could help you.
One monthly instalment
If you make payments to multiple lender every 30 days and want the comfort of a single monthly instalment, consolidation may be right for you. With a primary Consolidation Loan, you will find a single lender plus a single monthly payment.
Research shows many people miss payments not given that they don't have the cash or are strategically seeking to default on the debt, but given that they lack the organization for making on-time monthly installments to 5, 10 or 15 creditors each month. When you merge, you could be reducing more than 100 payments each year, depending on the number of individual loans you've.
Fixed interest costs
If you have variable mortgage rates on your National education loans, you might like to consolidate. The monthly interest for a Immediate Consolidation Loan is fixed with the life of the actual loan. The rate will be based upon the weighted average monthly interest of your pre-consolidation loans, rounded to the following higher one-eighth of 1 percent and are unable to exceed 8. 25 %.
How much would you be paying over the long run?
Several consolidation options call for a longer repayment time period. Like a home mortgages or car finance, extending the settlement term increases the quantity you pay. An extended term, however, could help you lower your payment to a amount you are able to afford, increasing your ability to make on-time installments, stay current in addition to repay your mortgage.

(Page 1 of 1)
Advanced Cell Technology has strengthened its intellectual property position in regenerative medicine with the acquisition of Infigen's assets relating to somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). A total of 26 issued patents and numerous pending applications were gained for a combination of cash and shares of common stock.
With this transaction, Advanced Cell Technology's royalty obligations under a previous license are removed. "This tactical acquisition is a part of our long-term plan to become one of the leading companies in the field of regenerative medicine," remarks William M. Caldwell, CEO of Advanced Cell Technology. "We intend to use these technologies to further our product development and use the exclusive rights under these patents to protect the company and, as appropriate, leverage these patents through licensing transactions with potential strategic partners."
The company notes that Infigen filed some of the earliest and most strategic patents in fundamental steps related to SCNT. One such critical step is the activation of oocytes, a process designated parthenogenetic activation. This patent in particular, points out Michael West, Ph.D., Advanced Cell Technology's president and CSO, "provides us with a dominant patent position in the production of human embryonic stem cells by parthenogenesis wherein stem cells are made from an egg cell without fertilization or SCNT.
Dr. West adds, "Combining these patents under one roof should simplify the regenerative medicine patent landscape. We will license out the animal applications for use in agriculture and animal science and use the human technologies for our internal programs including applications in the retina, vascular system, and dermatology."

The secret to this recipe is an ovenproof nonstick pan, which allows the eggs to cook properly, keeps them from sticking, and simplifies cleanup.
Southern Living AUGUST 2010
1. Brown sausage in a 10-inch (2-inch-deep) ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, stirring often, 7 to 8 minutes or until meat crumbles and is no longer pink; remove from skillet, and drain. Wipe skillet clean.
2. Preheat oven to 350°. Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Add garlic, and sauté 1 minute. Stir in spinach, and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute or just until spinach begins to wilt.
4. Add sausage, tomatoes and green chiles, salt, and pepper, and cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes or until spinach is wilted. Add eggs, and sprinkle with cheese. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, gently lifting edges of frittata with a spatula and tilting pan so uncooked portion flows underneath.
5. Bake at 350° for 12 to 15 minutes or until set and lightly browned. Remove from oven, and let stand 5 minutes. Slide frittata onto a large platter, and cut into 8 wedges.
*1 (32-oz.) carton egg substitute may be substituted. Increase bake time to 16 to 18 minutes or until set.
**Plain feta cheese may be substituted.
Note: We tested with Ro-Tel Mild Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies.

Who do these fucks think they are kidding. Just like SARS was under control and the bridge over the river that was DAMMED, this is in line with everything else. The only music download that does not include your closest relative paying for the bullet is "Dance Like Mao".

New York City had a break out year in 2011, riding a wave of tech enthusiasm to heights it's never seen before.
Right now, New York, or as it's often called, Silicon Alley, is home to one company with a billion dollar valuation — Gilt Groupe — and 28 others with valuations of $100 million or over.
Despite a weakening stock market, and deep fundamental problems with the economy, this time next year we expect more billion dollar companies in New York.
But, before we get ahead of ourselves, let's take some time to look back at the fantastic year that was.
We've created the Silicon Alley 100 to celebrate people doing the coolest things in New York in 2011. We don't have it ranked, because it's a list of great stuff across the board. The slides are in random order. But, if you're on here, and you want to tell friends you're ranked number one, we won't dispute it.
A number of Business Insider's investors appear on this list: Kevin Ryan (also our Chairman), RRE, Ken Lerer, Scott Kurnit and Roger Ehrenberg. Many companies on the list share investors with Business Insider.

Help make it easier for other Avvo users to choose the right lawyer by sharing your experience with this attorney. It's fast, simple, and safe.
Lawyers: Use the Peer Endorsements section to provide input about other attorneys.
I had a bench warrant that for over four years that prevented me from getting and applying for high paying jobs. When I found Omid he was honest , responsible and didn't take advantage of me. He made me feel confident that I found the right lawyer that would be speedy in rectifying my situation and would clear my name. After talking to him, my bench warrant was dropped within two weeks, my court date came in a few months and the entire case was dismissed once I went to court. I couldn't have asked for a better scenario.
Mr. Azari helped me with a speeding ticket. He was very helpful, kept me well informed and and had my case dismissed. Considering the speed that was recorded this was a very favorable outcome. Great lawyer to do business with.
I was over 3
I want to use this opportunity to recommend Amid Azari.I walkEd in to his office with heavy mind because of my DUI charge but came out with relaxed and peaceful mind.with his experience and knowledge, my case was treated like ordinary traffic ofence.At the end of the day.No fine,no charge or probation. Am am very happy to used his server and plan to work with him in future.I give him 10 to 10 rating
I was charged with second degree assault, thanks to Mr. Azari the case against me got dismissed. He kept me informed about the case the whole time and got the case done quickly and efficiently. Best of all he does all this at an affordable price. Great lawyer, good person
Excellent lawyer. I have used him 3 times 2 duis and 1 driving without a license. He got me off everytime. Recommend him for anybody. The best and not to expensive either.
Mr. Azari is a very responsible and intelligent lawyer who represented me in a speeding and DUI Case. He was very nice to me when I first approeached him. He showed me all the steps that I had to follow for the court. On the court day, I was very nervous and he helped me feel at ease and told me what to expect for the outcomes. He was very calm and through his expertise, all my DUI charges were dropped. Moreover, he even managed to lower my speeding ticket. I would never dreamed of this amazing outcome! I am very thankful and satisfied with his service; that is why I highly recommend Mr. Azari to whoever that has legal issues.
I hired Mr. Azari to represent me in a DUI/DWI case. When I went to see him, he was very friendly and very knowledgable, I showed him my paperwork, he told me what I needed to send to the MVA, helped me fill out the form, gave me an envelope and told me to send to the MVA. I was very nervous and he helped me feel at ease and told me what to expect. Mr. Azari got my MVA case dismisses, and I got my license back with no restrictions. When I went to court for the case, he got all three tickets thrown out. Through this stressful event he let me know I would be ok, kept me informed over everything. He is an excellent lawyer!
I chose Azari Law, LLC to get my speeding ticket reduced and no jail time. I was "GREATLY" satisfied for the outcome of my case. Mr. Aazri, is very professional, and prices are the best in town for any type of traffic violations. I had received several quotes prior to reaching Mr. Azari through a mail advertisement. Through Mr. Azari's expertise, 6 out of 7 charges against me were dropped...OMG I am so thankful to him for everything. I would definately recommend this Attorney at Law with the "HIGHEST" recommendation, due to how well he worked on my case to perfection. I was a nervous wreck, but he assured me that everything would be okay. Again, I would like to thank Mr. Omid Azari for restoring me to continue my life on a positive path. And most all, I have learned to "SLOW" down!!
Omid Azari came through for me. I was in a situation where even though the case only involved a misdemeanor, my line of work requires me to have a clean criminal record. I could not afford to have any blemishes in my background.
Mr. Azari took the time to sit down and discuss the case with me. He explained all the possible ways that things could go, and warned me what the repercussions of each could be. After a few starts and stops, which had more to do with the intricacies of the state legal system than anything, we finally had our day in court. Despite all of the evidence that the prosecution presented against me at the trial, Mr Azari was successful in arguing my innocence.
If you are smart, you will hire Omid Azari. For what he charges, it's a real steal. The service that he provides is much more extensive that what other lawyers offer.
Mr. Azari represented me in a 2nd degree assault case as well as a protective order case. He fought hard for me and won both cases. These cases were extremely important as they could have hurt me professionally and hindered me from other opportunities. Mr. Azari always returned my calls within a reasonable time. He is very polished and skilled in the court room. I highly recommend him and would use him again.

Do you really need a see-through toaster? The answer is yes, yes you do. This toaster is fantastic. There's nothing like seeing your bread toast and then hitting the stop button when it's just right.
Just look at the handle of this knife: so pretty. It's a great knife too. New West KnifeWorks makes amazing knives, and I love mine.
Lets just put it this way, I've had one of these knives for over two years, I use it daily and I've never had to sharpen it.
If there is one kitchen gadget you need to have, the Zoku is it. I can't tell you how many times I've used it and tried to get everyone else to use it too.
I understand that this costs a lot of money, and I also understand that, realistically, you'll probably only make tarte Tatin once every other month. Still, I strongly believe that the best dessert in the world deserves its own pan. I have this pan and I simply adore it.
Yes I'm addicted to my computer just as much as the next person, but that doesn't mean I don't love a good pen and a good journal. If I told you I used my Moleskine recipe journal every day, would you believe me? I pinky promise you that, in fact, I do.
I have a soft spot for whisks, and the ball whisk is my absolute favorite. Something about the little balls on the ends is pure magic.
What, you don't like the smell of oil hanging around your house three days after you've made french fries? I understand. But you do love french fries, right? Me too. Let me warn you: if you get this deep fryer, you will deep fry everything. Whereas before you only deep fried once a month, now you'll deep fry twice a day. I love it because of the safety features (a must if you have kids) and because it somehow keeps the greasy smell contained. Now when I deep fry, my house smells like a house and not a fast food restaurant.
If you have kids, you might as well make the feeding experience fun. I love this bib and spoon set and so does my baby.
Magimix is famous for its food processors. If you're looking for the ultimate food processor, this one is it.
I've had this peeler for years, and it still works great. I like how thin the handle is; it's sturdy and easy to hold.
I'm the type of person that cuts pizza with kitchen shears. I use my shears for everything.
These metal measuring cups are sturdy, pretty and accurate.
My family could not survive without a blender. I even make cake batter in a blender — it's a Brazilian thing. Regardless, blenders are cool. You should totally have one.
I trust Breville, and I believe in fresh squeezed orange juice. Basically, this juicer is the bomb.
For the record, it's totally possible to beat stiff egg whites by hand, but also for the record, it's so much better to let your KitchenAid mixer do it for you. It's not that I can't live without my mine, I just don't want to.
Cutting boards need to be thick and sturdy, and if they're pretty, that is always a bonus.
As a parent I've used my baby food mill hundreds of times. I'm so thankful for this little device that helps me make dinner into baby food.
This is a great dutch oven, and the price is absolutely right.
What did I do before Silpat was invented? Oh right, my cookies always got stuck to the cookie sheet.

Hi everyone- We have decided to build a modular home, but right now it is just the two of us and we do not need a lot of bedrooms so we are going to leave the upstairs unfinished and finish it as we need it. Finding a two bedroom modular floor plan is tough so we have modified a three bedroom floor plan (in our price range) to include 2 bedrooms and a larger living area instead. We have come up with two options - let me know what you think! |
Follow-Up Postings:
They are both very nice but I like Option 1 best...Best of luck with your new home..... |
I like option 2 better. It has better counterspace in the kitchen, and doesn't have a door opening into the desk. Plus the guest bedroom is a better size. Option 1 has abetter utility room, though. |
No matter what floor plan you decide on, I would make sure the hot water heater is located close the source that needs instant hot water. |
Now that you mention it, Kodak, option 2 does not seem to HAVE a water heater or furnace. And in option 1 it is very badly located behind the washer and dryer. |

St Petersburg goes back to the future
New restaurant
As dinner at Palkin demonstrates, St Petersburg had been doing fusion centuries before it became hip in other parts of the world, thanks largely to the city's love affair with Western Europe. However, culinary mix-and-match came back to the city in the late 1990s, often to poor effect (think sub-par sushi mixed with bland Italian). But then there are the exceptions to the rule. Enter Terrassa. Its globe-trotting menu dips into Asia, Europe and Russia effortlessly, finding the culinary middle ground between Chinese dim sum and Russian dumplings, gooey Georgian cheese breads and caviar-and-smoked-salmon topped pizzas. And it is all served up in an understated dining room of blond wood and creams, putting the focus on the expansive views of the Kazan Cathedral.
Old art museums
There is no better way to get a perspective on czarist Russia than to enter the former Winter Palace, now one of several buildings comprising the State Hermitage Museum, one of the largest museums in the world. The interiors alone, with their hand laid marquetry floors, priceless crystal chandeliers and frescoed ceilings, would be enough to qualify the building as a museum. But add to that the three-million piece collection, including the world's largest of paintings, and you have an art-powerhouse that would take weeks to fully explore. Allow yourself a day to just get lost in the interiors, from the glowing malachite pillars to gold-trimmed marble-staircases, before looking at the items they contain - from da Vinci to Kandinsky paintings, Scythian gold animal sculptures to 18th-century Volga headdresses. It is the embodiment of cultural excess.
New art museum
With the mammoth Hermitage dominating the city's cultural landscape, it would be easy to overlook what St Petersburg has long lacked, a space to highlight contemporary Russian art. But last year the city got not one, but two new spaces, the Erarta Museum and Galleries of Contemporary Art, and the Novy Muzei (New Museum). Erarta occupies a Soviet-era building on a still-gentrifying stretch of prime post-industrial real estate on the tony Vasilyevsky Island. The more than 2,000 works aim to move beyond Moscow's dominance of the art scene to exhibit pieces made throughout Russia.
A 20-minute walk away sits Novy Muzei, the New Museum. Set in a restored 19th-century building, this smaller museum focuses on late 20th-century, non-conformist (i.e. non-Soviet-sanctioned) pieces. Nearby students toil at the legendary St Petersburg Academy of Arts. Grab a lunchtime plate of pelmeni (boiled dumplings filled with minced pork) at one of the surrounding cafes and yo will mix with students whose work could soon hang in the galleries you have just explored.

CHOICE is calling for entries in the 2014 Shonky Awards, the annual awards program that names and shames Australia's worst products and services in a bid to get businesses to lift their game.
Last year eight companies were awarded the dubious lemon-scented honour, including Qantas, Dairy Farmers, Energy Australia and Kleenex.
"It's that time of year when we call on consumers from across the country to nominate a product or a service they believe is the Shonkiest of the lot," says CHOICE Head of Media Tom Godfrey.
"From dangerous dummies to dodgy credence claims, if you believe a company is being sneaky, slippery, unscrupulous and even unsafe, we want to hear from you."
To sink to the depths of a Shonky Award, a product or service has to meet one or more of the following criteria:
While not every Shonky Award winner may be breaking laws or breaching regulations, CHOICE believes that consumers deserve better products and services.
The 2014 CHOICE Shonky Awards will be revealed on October 14 at Carriageworks in Eveleigh, Sydney, at 10:30am. Nominations can be made at choice.com.au/shonkyawards.

Nice photo of things to come, mrtexas. My Moros are almost completely black inside they are so pigmented. They are delightful and do have a distinct berry flavor. I like mine very well, too. They're really good to add to a green salad. I always make a salad with them when I have guests over, the Moros are always a topic of coversation with my guests :-) Patty S. |

I really like the look of the clips rather than a uchannel on glass surrounds. The glass guy says I can use the clips if I want to, that no enclosure is perfectly leak proof. I will have a fan outside the shower for use when steam is running, and a fan inside shower for use during regular non-steam showers.
Anyone use a u-channel who also has steam? thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
what about the silicone? |
Will the silicone be enough of a seal? If so I would love to avoid the channel thanks. |
You can use a u-channel and there are several really wonderful examples of showers that have been installed with them. TreasureTheDay's stands out as a recent example. But you can also use clips and it will be just fine. We installed a steam shower about two months ago with a set up very similar to yours (fan outside) and used clips with silicone sealing the space between the glass and solid surface. Though it's been hot, we've used the steam shower at least once a week -- it's great for aching muscles after a day of gardening! Your glass installer is quite right that no residential steam shower enclosure is perfectly steam-tight. But even with our transom, we have minimal leakage. It is not a problem. It's tough to get far enough back to get a picture + glare from lights, but here's ours.
Thank you so much, it's all so very helpful. Wow, your shower is really lovely. Great to hear you're enjoying the steam aspects in the summer as well. Can you tell me - on your shower curb - is that paint or tile under the solid surface? Thanks again. |
Thanks for the kind comments about the shower. As to the short space below the curb top, it is the same tile that's on the shower walls. I had wanted to just continue the floor tile, but got outvoted by both DH and the tile guy. In the end, I think it looks fine. But I also think it would have been ok to continue the floor tile (either the larger 36x6 version on the bathroom floor or the 3x3 version on the shower floor). |
we can guarantee no leakage where U-channel is placed and one of the most cost effective installation & best applies when your door is hinged off the wall. but clipped system is typically used when your door is hinged off a panel and a header is not desired |

These richly surreal paintings from Lisa Adams are like nothing you've ever seen before.
Lisa Adams is a self-taught Australian artist that works on her paintings six days of the week from her home and workshop in Queensland. When you peruse the gallery of her striking images, you'd be forgiven for thinking that these are heavily Photoshopped composites of real life photography, but you'd be wrong. Every single one of the images in Lisa Adams' gallery is done using oil paint, no camera or digital manipulation involved. The images that Adams puts together all seem to share a theme of unsettling surrealism with subtle messages of hope.
Alison Kubler, the Curator at the Queensland Art Museum said of Adams' work: "Lisa Adams creates images that are often unsettling, sometimes melancholy or by turns uplifting, but always affecting and richly atmospheric. The scale on which she works affords her involved and tightly realized paintings an intimacy that echoes the personal nature of so much of the subject matter."

What People Mistake For Food Allergies
There's a lot of confusion about food allergies. Often a symptom related to the ingestion of particular food has nothing to do with the immune system and, therefore, is not an allergic reaction. Indigestion? Maybe. Lactose intolerance? Possibly. Food sensitivity? Could be. Several conditions can be mistaken for an allergic reaction.
- Lactose intolerance — Some people cannot tolerate dairy products because they lack normal quantities of the enzyme, lactase, needed to digest lactose (milk sugar). If lactose intolerance is your problem, you probably develop gas, cramps or diarrhea when you consume dairy foods. Some people are affected only when they have larger than usual amounts of these foods, and most lactose-intolerant people can tolerate hard cheeses, yogurt and sour cream without developing symptoms. Most people diagnose lactose intolerance without any scientific tests—they simply identify that their symptoms occur after meals that contain milk, and identify ways to limit symptoms by avoiding milk products. It is possible to test for lactose intolerance by monitoring the quantity of hydrogen gas in your breath after you consume milk; this test is not usually necessary, however.
- Asthma — People with asthma can develop attacks after eating foods containing sulfites, additives used to keep food looking fresh and to retard mold growth. Although the U.S. Food and Drug Administration now bans the use of sulfite sprays on fresh fruits and vegetables, they still are used in dried fruit and other foods. Sulfites also develop naturally in wine during fermentation.
- Reactions to specific foods — Many people can't eat beans, peas, broccoli or cabbage without developing uncomfortable intestinal gas. These "gas-producing" foods contain indigestible carbohydrates, so they can ferment in the colon. Other people develop indigestion and diarrhea after eating mushrooms or drinking certain wines. These foods contain sulfites, which may be the source of their irritation. While the symptoms sometimes are confused with food allergies, they aren't caused by an allergic reaction.
- Reactions to food additives — Some people are convinced that the food additive monosodium glutamate (MSG), which often is used in Chinese food, can bring on symptoms that include dizziness, sweating, ringing in the ears and a feeling of faintness. This "Chinese restaurant syndrome" is not a food allergy, and researchers have had great difficulty confirming that it is even a true reaction. A few studies have been done to try to demonstrate this reaction, but none has shown that people are more likely to react to MSG than they are to a placebo (sugar pill). This has been true even when the people in the study had previous reactions that they blamed on MSG.
- Food poisoning — Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea caused by food poisoning or by an infection, such as gastroenteritis, can be mistaken for a food allergy. Food poisoning stems from contamination with bacteria byproducts. Gastroenteritis is a viral infection by any of several different viruses that affect the digestive system. A bout of food poisoning mistakenly labeled as an allergy can affect dietary choices for years to come.
- Histamine toxicity — You can develop a headache and heat and flushing of the face after eating foods containing histamine, a natural substance involved in the allergic process. Foods high in histamine include cheese and some wines. Certain kinds of fish, particularly tuna and mackerel, produce histamine if they become spoiled. A reaction to histamine in spoiled fish is called "scombroid food poisoning."

Search on gardenweb, there have been many previous threads on this. How big are these pots? What I've done in the past that seemed to have worked is to raise the pot significantly off the ground, and then submerge it completely in water for an hour or so. Add some hydrogen peroxide to minimize anoxia for the roots. If you can't move the pot, then watering it continuously with a forceful stream of water for as long as possible, using soapy water (insecticidal or castile soap is preferred)as a drench, and/or using a hot pepper tea drench. Don't use orange oil in a pot, as it it will possibly kill your plant. |

The Washington Times
October 16, 2007
House Republicans have introduced legislation calling for the Bush
administration to block the merger of a U.S. computer-security equipment
company and a Chinese firm with close ties to Beijing's military and a
history of illicit exports and industrial espionage.
Sen. Christopher S. Bond, vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence
Committee, meanwhile, said yesterday he favors the Treasury Department
review of the merger, but does not want Congress to pre-empt the
administration's national-security investigation of the deal.
The senator's remarks and the legislation came in response to the
announcement last month of the planned $2.2 billion purchase of 3Com,
which sells hacker-prevention hardware to the Pentagon, by the
investment company Bain Capital Partners and China's Huawei Technology.
Mr. Bond, Missouri Republican, said he does not want congressional and
public pressure to derail the proposed deal like the failed effort by
the United Arab Emirates' firm Dubai Ports World last year to buy
operational control of six U.S. ports for $8 billion. That deal was
approved by the Treasury Department but later canceled over concerns
that terrorists might infiltrate U.S. ports posing as Dubai company
A person close to the companies involved in the 3Com deal said yesterday
that discussions were held recently with the Treasury Department-led
Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), which will
review the merger and its effect on U.S. national security. A formal
submission of the deal for interagency review, however, has not been
made yet.
Bain Capital Partners said in a statement that "Huawei will not have any
access to sensitive U.S.-origin technology or U.S. government sales as a
result of this transaction."
Defense and intelligence officials have said China's military, which has
engaged in aggressive computer hacking against Pentagon and U.S.
government computers, will gain additional access to 3Com equipment used
to detect such intrusions if the deal is approved by the multi-agency
Huawei also was linked to industrial espionage against Cisco Systems and
Japan's Fujitsu several years ago, the officials said.
Mr. Bond said Huawei, while seeking a minority role in the merger, is
"very close to the Chinese military."
"After all, the deal comes in the wake of a litany of troubling events,"
Mr. Bond told a meeting at the Heritage Foundation yesterday. The events
include Chinese cyber-attacks against the Pentagon, the surfacing of a
Chinese submarine within miles of a U.S. aircraft carrier, and the test
of a Chinese anti-satellite weapon.
The House resolution, introduced Friday, stated that "the preponderance
of publicly available evidence clearly suggests that as currently
structured, the proposed transaction involving Huawei threatens the
national security of the United States and should not be approved by the
Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States."
Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Florida Republican and ranking member on the
Foreign Affairs Committee, who is the lead sponsor of the resolution,
said yesterday the deal should be blocked.
"It would be a grave error for U.S. regulators to approve a deal that
permits minority ownership in 3Com by one of the least transparent
companies operating in China, a firm with shadowy ties to the Chinese
army and intelligence services," she said.
Democrats have been mostly quiet about the proposed merger. However,
Sen. John Kerry, Massachusetts Democrat, said the deal should be
reviewed very carefully.
Mr. Kerry has urged a close review of the acquisition, noting that he is
concerned the deal could "inadvertently put sensitive communications
assets into the hands of a foreign military."
Mr. Bond said the Defense Department is a "major client" of 3Com
security products, including its computer intrusion-prevention hardware.
Members of the Senate Intelligence Committee will be stepping up their
investigations of the "threats from cyberspace," Mr. Bond said.
Mr. Bond would not say whether he believes Chinese investment deals in
the United States, like the 3Com-Huawei merger, threaten U.S. national
However, he criticized the government's handling of Dubai Ports World,
which was approved by CFIUS but later canceled after members of Congress
and other critics raised concerns that terrorists might infiltrate U.S.
Mr. Bond said the ports deal would have helped an ally in the war on
terror and enhanced U.S. security, not harmed it. "This was an
opportunity to show those Muslims who agree with us that the world
security, their security as well as our security, depends on working
with Muslim countries and Muslim governments who are on our side, and we
blew it," Mr. Bond said.
China, he said, is using both legal and illegal methods to obtain U.S.
technology, but the CFIUS should be permitted to conduct an objective
review of Huawei before deciding if the 3Com deal poses an "unacceptable

Your stepfather has taken care of you ever since he found you by the side of the road when you were a baby, training you to follow in his footsteps as a doctor. But when he goes missing, you discover there might have been far more to him, and your legacy, than you ever imagined in this creepy hidden-object adventure.
Ricardo Chellini's unexpected inheritance of a private island should have been a dream, but when he arrives to find the estate falling apart and discovers something wants him dead, he must unravel the mystery surrounding his family's violent, sad past if he wants to survive. A stunning and wonderfully creepy hidden-object adventure from Artogon Games.
A giant robot with super strength, a grudge, and the know-how to create more of itself? Sounds like a great idea to me! Answering an old colleague's letter, you arrive in town to find the place apparently under attack by mechanical monstrosities and your friend nowhere to be found. Can you unravel the mystery before winding up a victim yourself? Artogon Games delivers a gorgeous adventure that takes a unique approach to hidden-object hunting that's worth checking out.
One passenger on a lonely road in the middle of the night is about to change your life forever. When a mysterious girl who you give a lift to a small town in the middle of nowhere leaves a relic from your childhood in the backseat, you go looking for answers, but might not make it back home safely. Artogon Games delivers a flawed but ultimately genuinely scary title that horror adventure fans will want to check out.
More Treasure Seekers! The latest installment in the hidden object series, Treasure Seekers: The Time Has Come, preserves the story and layout of previous games and features a slightly older Nelly and Tom. Not only have the characters grown up, but Artogon seems to have matured bits of the gameplay as well, featuring a better-crafted series of puzzles and more interesting locations to search through.
You didn't really think it was over, did you? The Mystery of the Crystal Portal has returned with a brand new installment: The Mystery of the Crystal Portal: Beyond the Horizon! No more cliffhanger-like endings, either, as this game picks the story up right where the original left off. Not only that, but the gameplay and high-quality visuals also return, crafting another hidden object adventure hybrid game that will be your pleasure to dive in to!
The Treasure Seekers series are some of the loveliest, most entertaining hybrids out there and Treasure Seekers: Follow the Ghosts seeks to expand and enhance the formula. With a choice of modes (casual and advanced), and such a variety of problem solving, hidden objects, and mini-games, Artogon has created casual gameplay that will satisfy folks on all areas of the spectrum, with fun and challenging puzzles that will appeal to a wide variety of gamers.
Nelly and Tom are at it again! Yes, the kids from the original Treasure Seekers: Visions of Gold have returned, and this time they're all grown up! Just like the original game, Treasure Seekers 2: The Enchanted Canvases a unique hybrid of adventure and hidden object gaming that makes use of context-sensitive actions rather than laundry lists of items to find. Add to that some much-improved visuals (which is saying a lot!) and you have another potential hit on your hands.
Treasure Seekers: Visions of Gold is another superb hidden object adventure game from Artogon Games, creator of The Mystery of the Crystal Portal. Both titles share a unique design among hidden object games where you are presented with contextual search clues instead of generic lists of objects. In essence, your goal is to explore the physical objects in each scene and collect items to solve individual puzzles. It's a new and interesting take on the genre that opens up many new puzzle possibilities.
The Mystery of the Crystal Portal is the latest casual title to bend the genre mold and create a hidden object/adventure hybrid. This one succeeds where many other efforts fail, however, by ramping up the level of intrigue and by building relationships between items you find and objects on the screen. The result is less of a hidden object game and more of a still-screen adventure title... with a few missing items.

"We used this invitation for a casual picnic wedding party at the Philadelphia Zoo! It was perfect for the occasion since the party was in the Peacock Pavillion and "peacocks" became our theme. Nice quality paper. We were able to print information pages on a computer and ribbon them together with this invitation for a sweet and colorful presentation!"
"Ordered these invitations for my sisters bridal shower I am hosting. It is on the water so I thought these were represented the ocean life while still being classy, not 'beach cheesy'. They arrived early which I loved, but most importantly they looked great! They were just as the picture appeared. Loved the color & quality of paper was great too. Ordered the envelopes and everything fit perfectly. Will use this site in the future!"
"Very pretty design, and very easy to design the card. Needed a quick turn around time and was extremely happy to receive such a high quality item so quickly. Thanks!"
"I love my invites! They look just as they did on the website and they came in two weeks! I would highly recommend these to friends and family."
"I ordered these invitations for my daughter's bridal shower. She is getting married on the beach in Puerto Rico, so the starfish is perfect! So happy with the way they printed! They are beautiful! And the envelopes? I don't know what everybody is talking about! No.big.deal. that they are a little larger than the invite!"
