Searching For More
Posted on March 8, 2012

My friend Zeke Pipher has a new book out, and I found it to be candid, engaging, challenging, and also rather convicting. Its called, Man On The Run: Helping Hyper-Hobbied Men Recognize The Best Things In Life. Here's a quick excerpt:
I've lived the first thirty-nine years of my life by Irishman Laurence Sterne's creed: "A large volume of adventures may be grasped within this little span of life, by him who interests his heart in everything."
"Everything" might be a slight overstatement. There are a few pursuits that I haven't thrown myself into. But then, they involve knitting needles, scrapbooks, and shopping malls, so they don't really count anyway, right?
I'm a simple case, really. Like many men, I don't handle inactivity well. My lowest lows—the times when I feel blue or despondent—come to me when I'm sitting on my hands wondering what to do. I keep busy in order to keep sane. On my days off, I fish, exercise, or clean the garage. In the evenings, I write, wrestle with my kids, or play basketball at the fitness center. I even started cooking because it gives me something to do during that restless hour between when I get home from work and when it's time to sit down for dinner.
Some people enjoy large blocks of time with nothing planned. I don't understand those people.
I need more than busyness, though. I need to be challenged. An after-dinner stroll around the neighborhood holds little appeal. But I'll walk for hours if there's the chance a pheasant might flush or the next swing might be the golf shot of my life. Likewise, I can't sit for fifteen minutes and do nothing. But I can plant my rear in a tree stand from sunup till sundown, listening for the snap of a twig, the faintest indication that a deer might be walking in my direction. In order to enjoy time, I need something to do, and that something must hold the power to thrill me.
Does that description of a busy, activity-filled life resonate with you?I think most of us have far too many hobbies – many good things – distracting us from the best things.
In my own book, First Time Dad, I wrote about the need for new fathers to put away the golf clubs and instead put their free time and energy into being a good dad. It's a radical mind-shift for some men. It was for me, as I wrote in the following admission:
About the time of our first child, I took up an extra-curricular activity. I suddenly had a hankering to attend graduate school. It occupied a lot of my time during those first couple of years after Dakota was born. In my defense, this was something my wife and I had discussed for some time, and it was in many ways a labor of love that was intended to position me for a different job. But the timing of this effort was, in hindsight, awful. With a new baby, my wife needed me home more, not less. But there I was for about two years, commuting 250 miles twice a week to work on a graduate degree. Finally, circumstances changed and I had to abandon that pursuit.
Was I actively seeking an escape from the demands of being a new dad? Really, I was not trying to get away from those new responsibilities. However, I wish someone had told me about the importance of being more involved in my child's life, especially during those early years. Old family photos and videos reveal that I was there for Dena and Dakota – just not as much I now wish I had been.
And, lest you think setting the right priorities is an easy thing to master, despite the strains on our family from that earlier educational effort, I found myself back in grad school a few years later, pursuing that degree one more time. This time, though, we had four children. While the stress of that commitment damaged our marriage, it also took a bit of a toll on our children. I was an absent dad, in many ways. And I worked for a global family ministry!
Ouch. It is somewhat painful to revisit the wounds I caused with my pursuit of an advanced degree.But I hope it catches your attention and causes you to consider once again what is most important in your life. Does your calendar reflect your priorities?
Here's a suggestion: As a man, you are driven. That's not a bad thing. God wired men to seek adventure, challenges, victories. Driven men have accomplished much in this world. But as Zeke points out so well in his book, and I addressed this in mine, we have to channel that energy, passion and drive into the right things. Things that matter most. Ultimately, that means pursuing God and others more than a trophy catch, or a season championship, or a personal record. Instead, go after, with your whole heart, your family. Your wife and kids. You're irreplaceable in their lives, and your investment in time, energy and heart to make them number one won't be wasted.

Looking Back and Moving Ahead
Great scientific talks this past week at the CURE-sponsored Issues in Clinical Electrophysiology meeting in Watsonville, CA. Researchers and their trainees from all over the world gathered for this intensive two-day meeting focusing on effectively using data derived from patients with epilepsy to drive scientific research towards finding cures. It was exciting to hear from investigators, both young and established, about how patient-centered research can transform lives of people with epilepsy.
During the meeting, participants also took time out to honor Dr. Philip Schwartzkroin for his more than 30 years of devoted research in epilepsy. A huge thank you and shout-out to Phil–he was one of a few brave souls who agreed to lend his esteemed name to our letterhead way back in 1998 and really helped us launch this organization and effort! And, of course, to all the men and women who research epilepsy every single day in search of cures. Thanks to all!
Focus on the BRAIN
President Obama's announcement this week of the proposed $100 million Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) initiative raises hope that neurological disorders will finally begin to get the recognition and research funds needed to truly advance our understanding of the brain and how it functions. The project, which will draw resources from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Science Foundation (NSF) and major private foundations–the Allen Institute for Brain Science, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Kavli Foundation and Salk Institute for Biological Studies–will help unlock the many mysteries of disorders like epilepsy and, at CURE, we are thrilled about it, and its potential to transform lives. The President also highlighted the positive economic impact of the BRAIN project, citing the high-tech jobs that will be created by this investment in science and technology.
And to end your week on a bright note, we have yet another adorable CURE fan boasting her CURE gear!
Have a great weekend!!!
A Global Need for Awareness, Education and Availability of Care
Epilepsy's reach knows no bounds—and, not surprisingly, its impact in developing countries can be much more profound than here in the U.S. and other affluent countries. Dr. Tamara Bugembe, a pediatric registrar volunteering for a fellowship in Cameroon, wrote a compelling piece in The Guardian this past week, highlighting the disparity of epilepsy care and awareness between wealthy and developing countries.
In recent years, we've all been aware of the bold efforts by Bill Gates and others to prevent malaria in many of these countries, however little attention has been paid to the large number of men, women and children who survive the disease, but develop epilepsy as a consequence.
We do know that, according to a 2012 study by the World Health Organization (WHO), nearly three-fourths of people with epilepsy in developing countries do not receive adequate therapies. Further, WHO estimates that, in Africa, nine out of ten people diagnosed with epilepsy go untreated.
This article was of special interest to us at CURE, as this year we are supporting our first-ever grant to research the connection between malaria and epilepsy. Under the leadership of Steven Schiff, MD, PhD, Pennsylvania State University, a multi-disciplinary team of researchers is investigating a model for the prevention of epilepsy that can develop in children after malaria. It's a unique effort by an epilepsy specialist, a malaria biologist, an experimental physicist, a malaria clinician, and an optical imaging expert.
In Dr. Bugembe's words, "Epilepsy is highly stigmatized and many believe it to be a spiritual rather than medical illness. It is also thought to be contagious, transmitted by touching someone during a seizure." This misinformation, and the shunning of those with epilepsy, is painful and almost inconceivable for many of us who live with epilepsy.
Much more research is clearly needed in this area, as is the continuing need for better community awareness of and response to epilepsy—not just in our neighborhoods, but around the world. The more advances we can make in our understanding of the biological basis of epilepsy, the closer we come to finding cures, and the closer we will be to the day when epilepsy, around the globe, is viewed as a biomedical condition that can succumb to enhanced research efforts into preventions and cures.
On the Road
I haven't been on the road in a while, so the last 10 days living out of my suitcase have been tiring–but very inspiring. Last week I was in New York City and participated in several rewarding meetings around the Alexandria Summit™ on Medical Research Philanthropy. http://investor.are.com/file.aspx?IID=111908&FID=16157731 The Summit, hosted by Alexandria Real Estate Equities, was an amazing gathering of scientists, advocates and representatives from industry, all dedicated to enhancing the role that medical philanthropy plays in advancing research and scientific discoveries.
After those meetings, I enjoyed meeting up with friends of CURE (both old and new) over several days in New York.
This week I've been in Washington. Monday, friends and colleagues from the epilepsy community gathered for an Institute of Medicine (IOM) meeting focused on developing a screening tool for patients and caregivers.
For the past two days, I've been attending a meeting in DC with the Institute of Medicine, reviewing Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA). The primary goal of the CTSA program is to provide comprehensive services and support for clinical and translational research. http://www8.nationalacademies.org/cp/projectview.aspx?key=IOM-HSP-12-10
And, if you were at last year's Chicago Benefit, I know you haven't forgotten Hugh, Charlie and Jeffrey–they warmed our hearts with their story of dedication and friendship. This year, they did it again and then some! The boys' Hugh-A-Thon fundraising efforts were twice as successful this year–they raised $11,000!! I was so sorry not to be there, but Bogdan and Samantha, from CURE, were among their fans cheering them on at the Westmont High School pool!
Lapses and Laps
The rather unusual buzzword these days is sequestration, which looms with a deadline of this Friday, March 1. If these comprehensive budget cuts come to pass, the ramifications on scientific research will be enormous. According to a new report released by United for Medical Research (UMR), the nation's life sciences sector could lose more than 20,000 jobs and face a $3 billion decline in funding if Congress fails to prevent the 5.1 percent automatic, across-the-board spending cuts to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). These cuts would affect much more than epilepsy research–the breadth of NIH research spans the nation, encompassing many different areas of life science. 2,300 fewer grants would be funded, diminishing the pace of recent scientific breakthroughs. We will continue our push for scientific focus and funding for epilepsy and many other neurological diseases. Concerned? If so, share your thoughts with your legislators. http://www.cureepilepsy.org/news/sequestration.asp
And, Charlie, Jeffrey and Hugh are at it again this year! I'm sure those of you who joined us at our Chicago event last June will remember our three remarkable superstars: Charlie, Jeffrey and Hugh. This trio is the best of friends and when Hugh was struggling with epilepsy, Charlie and Jeffrey couldn't sit by the sidelines. They decided to raise funds for epilepsy research by swimming lap after lap in a local pool—a "Hugh-A-Thon" they called it. They knocked on doors, spread the word and ended up raising over $6,000—an amazing accomplishment! We were lucky enough to hear their stories at our event: http://www.cureepilepsy.org/aboutcure/video/chicago2012-Hugh.asp
This Saturday, March 2, they will be back in the Westmont High School pool, hoping to raise $10,000 for epilepsy research this year. You can find more details about the "Hugh-A-Thon" on CURE's Upcoming Events page: http://www.cureepilepsy.org/events/upcoming.asp. Let's help them reach their goal!
There are only two days left to bid on an unforgettable "Once in an Iceland" adventure! Details on this incredible trip for two can be found at http://www.cureepilepsy.org/events/2013/iceland.asp. All proceeds support epilepsy research. Bid quickly and bid high!
Slash My Husband's 'Stache!
In all our years of marriage, I have NEVER seen my husband David without his mustache. So, all of you out there who are excited to see him sans 'stache–including our good friends at Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski–think about how I feel!
On Morning Joe this morning, David put that famous 'stache on the line… for epilepsy research! If we raise $1 million by the end of November, David will shave off the 'stache on the air. Joe generously kicked off the campaign, donating $10,000.
If you didn't see the challenge, watch it here!
I am just thrilled; this is another example of our commitment to finding the answers we need, and you can help. We only do one thing. We invest in research that will find a cure.
We have already received over $42,000 in donations in the last three hours. Please join us and Morning Joe to get rid of this 'stache–and most importantly, to rid this world of epilepsy.
Help change the face of epilepsy…and of David Axelrod by helping us raise $1 million. Donate as much as you possibly can today at www.slashthestache.com. Your support will help us truly transform and save lives. We are so grateful for your help!
Setting Priorities
We were proud to support a great conference, "Priorities for Pediatric Epilepsy Research," organized by Anne Berg , PhD (Research Professor in Pediatrics at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine). Parents, pediatric epileptologists, and other health care professionals gathered to brainstorm about how to effect changes in how kids with epilepsy are treated, how we can understand it better and make improvements, and how we can collect the data we need to inform future research directions and efforts.
It was a great opportunity to show off our city's brand new Children's Hospital (The Ann & Richard H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago), and share ideas with so many well-intentioned, well-informed individuals. We have some huge challenges–but also great opportunities to explore!
Check out some pics below from a great two days!

"Bunny ear, bunny ear, side by side…"
The Bs were once again owned by Cam Ward and the Hurricanes last night, getting shut out 3-0 to give Carolina their first ever season sweep of the Bruins. Thank the maker these guys won't be in the playoffs this year.
Ward had a pretty easy time setting a team record with 47 saves, seeing virtually all of the shots as the Bs lacked the requisite net-front jam. Except for a couple of early chances in the first, they certainly didn't make the stellar Carolina netminder stand on his head—not usually the case when a guy turns back all 47 shots.
But nobody should really be surprised about the Bruins recent downturn. After all, there's not many teams that can continue the torrid pace that the Bs ripped through November and December with. It was inevitable that they crashed back to Earth. Add in the injuries and concussions that tamper with the consistency of a team and you could see sub-par efforts like this rear their ugly head. The goalies haven't been great lately either but then, nobody on this team has.
The Bs' only real major concern right now is the long-term health of '11 playoff hero Nathan Horton, who was blindsided with a hit to the head by Philly fantasy camper Tom Sestito (who, by the way, didn't even get a call from Shanny). Horton still hasn't been able to resume physical activity which is not a good sign for a guy just two months from the playoffs and who suffered a concussion in the Stanley Cup Final.
But other than that, to these eyes, it appears as though the Bs are just having a mid-season valley that all teams go through each season. Before anybody hits the panic button, it's a good time to remember that the Bs are still very firmly entrenched in the #2 seed in the Wales—they have a nine point lead over #3 Florida and six point lead (with four games in hand) over second place Ottawa in the Northeast. It would take a real Red Soxian effort to piss this lead away.
If they're still pulling this shit in two more weeks, then there will be cause for concern. I just don't see that happening. However, expect Peter Chiarelli to make his moves well before the trade deadline at the end of the month, as that has been his very successful M.O. over the years. Look for him to go after a veteran D-man to shore up the Bruins backline as well as a top-six forward, especially if it looks like Horton will be out for awhile.
Bottom line: this is no time to panic. At all. Bs are back at it tomorrow when Geno and the Pens come in for a matinee.
A few quick buds for your Super Bowl, um, bowl…
*I wrote a couple of other things some of you might be interested in. Old school grapplin' fan? Click here. Profile on kid battling adversity in quest to play college hockey? Try this. Hope you enjoy.
*Ochocinco at 100/1 for SBMVP is a great shits and giggles bet, as is 40/1 for him to get the first TD. Also throwing down on 7/1 for OT, which seems pretty high considering this game is a pick 'em. It's only a matter of time before one of these games goes to extra time. I'm going under the 54 as I see a lot of running and good D. I'm already hedged up the ass on the Pats (that's what happens when you get them at 5/1 in August) so I already have both sides. The pick: Pats 24, Giants 20.
*Go Pats!

Great value! Written By Ruth, Columbus Ohio on Saturday, January 31, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After blowing one of my more expensive kicker speakers the Crutchfield rep suggested this brand. They were less expensive and I had never heard of them but their quality of build and sound surpassed my expectations. They are being powered by an Alpine head unit Pros: Quality construction great sound Cons: None yet
all around speakers Written By Harvey J Martinez, Omaha, NE on Thursday, October 16, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought these speakers solely relying on the Crutchfield teams opinion. Turns out hey they were right. Lol. This speaker us inexpensive, it is very very versatile. It handles the club music very well. Listen this isn't a competition speaker. But it is a very well made Handle all around everything speaker. We set it up on a buddy's factor first. Sound im proved dramatically. So now he will be buying some. I ordered the for my 2001 F250 SD. I am not running anything special . I did install a aftermarket stereo. KENWOOD KDC-BT758HD I believe it is. Now listen they sounded great. No you cannot crank only bass and turn it all the way up. But they sounded even better with the aftermarket. They handle some bass well. They hit highs well and mids. And yes if you go to loud to hard it does start to get grainy. But I had to turn my stereo up almost all the way. Pros: Cheap, loud great little speaker. Very well built and a great handle all speaker Cons: None.

Great Speakers Written By Glenarr, Rochester, Wa. on Wednesday, August 14, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great speakers for the cost. I replace my factory speaker with these.. big difference in sound. I ma going to put an amp behind them after I install my deck. I know the will sound even better. Pros: Great speakers at a good price. Cons: non so far
Striking Clarity Written By PatrickM, Plano, TX on Monday, July 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers were recommended to me by Crutchfield as replacements for my factory speakers. I installed a pair in front and left the factory speakers in the rear, to get an idea of the difference, running somewhere around 40W per channel. I can only call the difference striking. These speakers present with amazing clarity across the response range - it's almost like listening thru good headphones in that respect. Instruments will jump out at you. The bass response is pretty impressive - the woofers will actually move air when cranked. As far as distortion, you should have no problem cranking these to extreme levels and not hear any distortion. Pros: Clarity, presence, power
Great Sound on Factory System Written By Dave, Blue Grass, Iowa on Saturday, December 08, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers fit great and sound awesome in my 2013 Ford F150. No more muddy sound from the cheap factory speakers. Everything sounds crisp and clear. They handle the bass quite well and the highs are not tinny . Overall, I am very pleased, not only with these speakers, but with Crutchfield sales and tech support. Kudos to Nancy for recommending these great speakers. Pros: 2 year warranty Quality construction Awesome specs and sound Cons: None that I could find

5 If You Do Nothing Else In Your Life, Buy ThisChillPill | 07/01/2010 | See all ChillPill's reviews (15)This series just gets better with each new one. Series 3 is by far the sharpest, wittiest and funniest yet. All concerned, from actors, writers and cameramen deserve to be showered in BAFTA's.Malcolm Tucker is in all probability the only politician I would consider voting for. Capaldi gets all the killer lines, which include the some of the best put-downs in British comedy history.It's an absolute masterpiece of television.
5 You'll never get sick of it!Hooliogeordio | 21/03/2010 | See all Hooliogeordio's reviews (1)Not only was it the best comedy series probably ever on TV, but the writing is so sharp you have to watch it at least three times just catch all the gags. Peter Capaldi as Malcolm Tucker is the most viciously hilarious character ever to grace the box, with the most perfect supporting cast. And a special mention for David Haig in the later episodes, whose Steve what's-his-name is almost a match for Peter Capaldi in his sheer pent-up, dangerously-raging insanity. Absolutely top notch!
5 The best series yetSpadeychops | 22/12/2009 | See all Spadeychops's reviews (2)In my personal opinion, the best series yet. Malcolm Tucker brings a whole new collection of swearwords to the small screen as he handles the disasters of the ministers. An intelligent comedy, superbly written and brilliantly brought to live by the actors. More of the same please....!
5 The Awesomeness of it.StevoStevoStevo | 27/02/2010 | See all StevoStevoStevo's reviews (1)The Thick of It was great in the first place, but series 3 is simply superb, the writing became punchier, more intelligent, and the Cast gelled together perfectly. Peter Capaldi, Rebecca Front and Chris Addison are brilliant, backed by a top class cast.

Video surfaces of what's said to be iPad Mini in the wild
A new video appears to show Apple's new smaller-size iPad being poked and prodded at. When Apple unveils its new device later today, we'll know if the video was for real.
A video making the rounds this morning appears to show someone with an iPad Mini measuring and inspecting the device.
While it's not known for certain if such a device even exists, it's widely expected that Apple will unveil a smaller version of its mega-hit tablet at an event in Silicon Valley later this morning. (CNET's live blog is happening right now.)
In the video, which was reported on by 9to5Mac, we see someone with what appears to be Apple's new tablet. He measures it and shows off its various ports -- including one for the smaller-size Lightning power supply -- but does not actually power it up.
The 9to5Mac post also suggests that Apple will announce that it's keeping the current storage options -- 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB -- for its main iPad line.

Concierge.com's insider take:
When Chinatown's beloved Swedish bar/restaurant Good World closed in 2008, the city's arty-Scandinavian crowd was bereft. But not for long. In early 2009, the same owners, Annika Sundvik and John Lavelle, opened White Slab Palace, a haven for artistic Lower East Siders who haven't moved to Brooklyn yet. With shabby wooden tables, unfinished concrete floors, and large floor-to-ceiling windows, this is urban rustic at its best—and worlds away from your typical scuzzy LES joint. Signature cocktails like the Stoli Beet go well with the selection of Scandi treats such as potato pancakes and Swedish meatballs. Play your cards right and you may be invited into the semisecret back room for the late-night dance party.—Alexis Swerdloff

World AIDS Day for Team Tulsa began as a low-key testing event a local university in the afternoon and grew into a community gathering at night.
For the past couple of years, Team Tulsa has had the opportunity to use the Student Health Center at the University of Tulsa as a temporary testing site on World AIDS Day. This year was no different. We had a slow start, but Paige and Kacie spread the word at the campus's activity center, and soon the clients came pouring in. We were only supposed to be there until 1:00pm, but the amount of clients waiting for testing required we stay longer. Kristin, Danielle and Carolyn ended up testing about 20 TU students in less than four hours. We also gave away condoms, male and female, and literature on HIV. In the waiting area, clients were greeted with a penis model and plastic model of the female reproductive organs, demonstrating the proper insertion of a female condom. Overall, the first part of our day went pretty well. It was a great start to World AIDS Day 2010.
After resting for a bit, the team members rejoined each other at Langston University in North Tulsa. There, Tulsa CARES, a major organization specializing in the well-being of those living with HIV/AIDS, set up a feast for the World AIDS Day commemoration event "Light for Rights." Team Tulsa set up the candles for the lighting event later in the night. People from the community gathered and mingled while a local singer/songwriter entertained until about 6:30, when the event began. A few speakers, including our very own city supervisor, Janice Nicklas, addressed the state of HIV in the world, nation and Oklahoma. Rebecca Ungerman, a delightful and boisterous local performer (who was also at our Make a Difference Day event, DIVAS), addressed the conspicuous absence of any Tulsa and Oklahoma lawmakers at the end, which received a rousing round of applause.
A church choir sang after the speakers finished, followed by a heart wrenching story of a local Native American woman who was infected with HIV 18 years ago. The team then found our stations by the doors, and led the crowd outside, giving them candles along the way. The crowd stood in darkness while Pastor Bob Lawrence of the Community of Hope church gave a solemn speech, remembering those we have lost due to HIV and AIDS. Then, one by one, the crowd lit their candles and stood in silence in the cold.
The event was overwhelming, and required personal reflection from every participant involved. The sense of togetherness and community permeated the night, and brought Team Tulsa even closer together.

A Norfolk MP has said the government must transform UK taxes to prevent avoidance schemes like that which saw comedian Jimmy Carr paying as little as 1pc of his income into Treasury coffers.
South Norfolk MP Richard Bacon, who sits on Parliament's Public Accounts Committee, made his call as the group published a report yesterday into tax avoidance.
Aggressive avoidance scheme promoters were "running rings" around HM Revenue and Customs, the committee's report said.
Meanwhile, it warned that the taxman was losing the "game of cat and mouse" as tax consultants took advantage of the time it took officials to shut down a particular avoidance method to make money.
Mr Bacon argued the only way to fundamentally address the problem was to massively simplify the tax system.
He said: "The problem is that previously it's been thought that by adding several hundred extra pages to tax regulation each year you could solve the issue.
"But all you are actually doing is giving more work to lawyers and tax consultants to find more loopholes.
"We need to make the entire system much simpler. That's the only way to get ahead of the big companies in this game, and it's going to take political will."
Last year comedian Jimmy Carr admitted to making a "terrible error of judgment" after it emerged he used a complex scheme to reduce his tax bill.
Meanwhile the committee's chair Margaret Hodge said: "We have seen how public anger and consumer pressure can influence large companies, such as Starbucks, to behave more responsibly.
"HMRC should publicly name and shame those who sell or use tax avoidance schemes in order to discourage such activity.
"With at least £5 billion lost to tax avoidance each year, HMRC has got to get much more robust in its approach."

RB is squeaky clean I'll have you know. And he likes nothing more than talking tough on tax cheats. RB has carved a political career for himself by saying the right things about tax. Meanwhile the Chief executive of the Student Loans Company was allowed to avoid £40,000 a year in income tax under an a-la-Carr deal approved by the Coalition Government. RB must have been so disappointed. In fact it's a matter of public record that he contacted the Cameleon to express his concern. How many other tax dodgers are being aided and abetted by the ConDems? It must be so annoying for RB to have all his hard work in committee undermined by careless ministers. RB was probably also annoyed in 2009 when some little oik from Diss dissed his expense claims "On top of his salary, I feel 147,498 of expenses per year is an incredible price to pay for an MP, especially at a time when so many people have so little". Incredible insight from one so young. But RB bounced back, stating that the bulk of the 147,498 was used to pay for staff and office costs in Diss. Blimey, you could have got somewhere in Mayfair for that!

Could someone look into the tax affairs of Bacon and his family?
Tuesday, February 19, 2013
Registering companies in Switzerland, Luxembourg or Jersey and paying very little tax in those countries is enabling companies to bring their much higher profits into the UK without being taxed further. That was introduced by this minority party coalition, reverse it. Multinationals who want to sell here, should pay taxes here and show a socially responsible attitude to operating here. They can't all be making large returns, but should look at long term, sustainable trading and smaller profits.

Wayne Kerr: you seem to have got it about right. I would disagree that 'most people don't mind paying tax...' because I think they do, on the grounds that they cannot stomach the amount of waste in Whitehall. Every one of us would prefer to pay the least tax - anyone who says otherwise is deluded. But of course, when it is someone ELSE who has found a legal way to minimise the tax they pay they are dubbed 'immoral' !! One rule for me and one for everyone else. Hypocritical. Simplify the system so that there is no way round it...
Thursday, February 21, 2013
If tax rates & regulations were set at reasonable levels most people wouldn't bother trying to avoid paying - it wouldn't be worth the time & effort. Tax revenues would actually increase & there would be minimal cost to the revenue (taxpayer) as fewer try to dodge. Most people don't mind paying tax - it's the criminal amount of waste & fiscal ineptitude of successive governments that infuriates!
Tuesday, February 19, 2013
Perhaps Mr Bacon can start by looking into the financial affairs of George Osborne, resident of 11 Downing Street. Current salary £134,565, plus an annual six figure income from the rent of his £3million Notting Hill house and a 15% stake in a business estimated to be worth £4million. Mr Osborne claims he is not wealthy enough to pay top rate tax. If that is not "avoidance" what is it?

Bang on, we don't like JC, heard he is a bit of a lefty, you know, why else would he have fed the 5,000 when the priority should have been to focus on the exec and management teams. Oh sorry, wrong JC. The JC in question, ah yes, did he benefit from the same scheme as that used by a recently-revived boy band, now more a rapidly-approaching-middle-aged-spread band? Funny they didn't get the same attention, although I understand the extent of the stash from their come-back tour was some ten times greater than JC's little pot. Could that be because the frontman is one of DC's celeb mates, out with the now PM on the 2010 campaign trail to woo those northern voter types with some bizarre promise of a singing competition for schools based on the "ex-factor", whatever that is. Anyway, isn't good to see the press focussing on the most serious culprits. In fact, when challenged about his mate's misdeed, DC refused to criticise him over the alleged use of a tax avoidance scheme. He said he was not going to give a "running commentary" on people's tax affairs - but he had made an exception for JC because "it was a particularly egregious example of an avoidance scheme that seemed to me to be wrong (because he's a lefty you know)".

How was it possible that two thirds of the QE cash ended up in off shore tax havens, as 'collateral', money for old rope? The whole of the cabinet are millionaires, newbies devout of any reality, never had to work for their living. The distinction between avoidance and evasion were always blurred, hence the vast sums bypassing the exchequer, its not working people who try and avoid taxes, its those we call responsible and enterprising that are failing in their duty to society.

Regrettably avoidance is not illegal, evasion is. If Bacon wants to come down on avoidance schemes he needs to make avoidance illegal but I don't quite know how he will do that because for every scheme they make illegal another avoidance scheme will pop up. One avoidance scheme I would like to see slapped down hard is that where monies made in this country on our high streets and from people who live here buying on the internet from here (step forward Amazon and Starbucks for a kickoff) They should be prevented from taking even one penny out of this country. And don't tell me they will take their business elsewhere - where do you think the business is done? What they going to do? Take us all with them to continue buying their goods?

I'll be on on "The Alan Eisenberg Show" on WRJN on Sunday the 5th of October (2014) at 8pm CST. Details here. We'll be discussing my new book\ On the Historicity of Jesus.
Chris Combs and Daniel Port interviewed me recently on my life and work, as well as my thoughts about cinema as an art medium and on specific films they asked about because they're my recommendations in my video store (like Pulp Fiction, the Cohen Brothers, my taste in teen films and romantic comedies), and various other related topics (from William Lane Craig to Jesus, philosophy, racism, the Coast Guard, and 80s movies and arcade games). It's mostly me just rambling on about myself and my thoughts about things as they asked me to do. There was some sound editing that I think removed or compressed some breath pauses, so it sounds a little more frantic than it actually was when we recorded. It's almost an hour long, and it kind of sounds a lot like an NPR radio interview. If you're interested, the audio is here on YouTube.
One of the many things I did when I was in England was go on a radio show that then aired in London just this last weekend (Saturday, December 15th, 2012), called Unbelievable with Justin Brierley, for Premiere Christian Radio. There, I had a cordial and informal debate with professor Mark Goodacre on the merits of the theory that Jesus didn't exist (but is instead as mythical as Hercules or King Arthur).
Justin was an excellent host, and we both mused over the irony of the fact that he had an American in England debating an Englishman in America. I had stopped by the studio in person while I was in London; Goodacre was kind enough to phone in from his office at Duke University, North Carolina, where he's an Associate Professor of the New Testament. So we were both at a disadvantage, he by being on the phone (having been there myself, I can testify to how difficult it is to carry on a conversation that way), and me by having almost literally just landed after a twelve hour flight from Los Angeles, which had immediately followed a six hour drive by car, and after which we had just enough time to get our bags and drive to the city and drop me off at a tube station en route to Premiere. Fortunately, I'm pretty resistant to jet lag. But it definitely felt weird. I had that "wired" feeling one gets after being awake for far too long.
If you want to listen to the show, it's available online (for just this week it's the featured show but after that it will be in their archives; and if that link doesn't work properly try this) and via iTunes. I will comment on the show here. So if you're keen to hear my thoughts on it, read on.
In January (as announced beforehand) I debated the question "Jesus: Man, Myth, or Messiah?" with Douglas Jacoby at Amador Christian Center in the beautiful Sacramento hills. And now the audio of that debate is available (video might come later; if so, I'll emend this blog and mention it in the comments thread). Ben Schuldt produced a good wrap-up post on it, briefly reviewing the debate and then surveying all the things he would have wanted the audience to hear (he's well aware that debates are on the clock and thus everything that needs to be said simply can't be, but that's what blogs are for, praise Jebus).
Video of my debate with J.P. Holding (also at Amador Christian Center, last year) on the topic of whether the "Text of the New Testament is Reliable" is also now available. I had announced that long ago in a comment thread, but have been meaning to blog it up properly for a while, so I'm seizing the opportunity. Not only is the video available (via YouTube) but you can also download our slideshows and view them separately (Carrier's | Holding's).
I was also interviewed for the Oklahoma Atheists podcast (yes, people, there are atheists in Oklahoma, it's not just all rusted cars and missile silos), which is now available. In it we discussed my use of Bayesian Reasoning in Philosophy, especially in The End of Christianity where I apply it to the design argument.
Finally, I was actually on live public radio in Las Vegas a while back, appearing as a phone-in guest (along with a few others) on Conversations with Cogree. One reason I hate doing call-in shows is that phoneline audio quality is usually terrible, and with multiple people and signal delays and no body language to observe, talking over each other is a constant problem. But Cogee does a decent job moderating it all. The theme was "Atheism vs. Faith" and there were multiple believers and multiple atheists, each coming from a very different viewpoint than the other. Everyone was treated fairly. You can listen to an archive of the show.

A Look Into the Making of a Band Image
San Antonio band, Abberdein, presented us with a huge opportunity to be a part of an amazing project that is already having an incredible impact. We had the privilege of designing a completely new image for the band to promote the release of their latest album, Heart Like Your Heart.
What we cover in this case study:
- Album Artwork
- Web Design
- Mobile Design
- Posters
- T-Shirts
- Stickers
CD Insert Design
We approached the album artwork design first, initially designing the cover and moving on to the complete CD insert design. With the goal of the project being to raise money for missions, we wanted to incorporate a very personal and human feel to the entire design.
The album design employs very stark contrast between the outer and inner panels of the cd insert. The outside is comprised 4 lighter panels including the album cover panel, about the project panel, and 2 complimentary illustrative panels.
The 4 inner panels feature a completely typographical layout showcasing all of the song lyrics with a subtle, complimentary background design. The lyrics to all of the album's 12 songs nicely fill out the entire space while elegantly wrapping around the occasional heart element.
The first thing we did to capture this feel was to hand-draw the album title, "Heart Like Your Heart." Initially, this was all we intended on crafting, but we soon found that we wanted to continue that feel in other areas of the design. This ultimately lead to the development of Jokal, a complete font available for free.
The globe element was used to embody the heart God has for his creation and combined with the consistent use of textures works together to further bring a human feel to the design.
If you enjoy great music, want to support a good cause and enjoy good design, you can purchase your own copy of the Heart Like Your Heart album.
Website Design
When designing the Abberdein website, we wanted to continue the feel of the album, but more importantly, we wanted to provide an enjoyable user experience. We pursued a clean and spacious layout the is easily browsable and caters to several different specific target audiences.
The navigational links were kept to a minimum for clarity, consolidation and flexibility. The design provides targeted information for visitors that have never heard of Abberdein by immediately displaying brief project information as well easily accessible sections for fans that already know Abberdein that are looking to purchase the latest album or view upcoming shows.
The other important audience is the booking agent. We provide the booking link prominently at the top right of the page to simplify the search process of those looking to contact Abberdein event booking.
Responsive Web Design
One of the things that really makes this project shine is its Responsive Web Design. Through the use of media queries, the Abberdein website displays a custom layout for a number of different common devices. Desktops, netbooks, iPads, iPhones and Android phone all have their own optimized version of the website. We designed numerous custom layouts for each device on every single page of the website.
With an ever-growing market of mobile devices, providing optimized layouts for each device is becoming more and more relevant. More and more users are accessing websites from a mobile device and are bringing with them the need for mobile-specific websites. Simply providing a mobile version of a site is not enough. It's important to enhance the mobile user experience while maintaining all of the same features and functionality of the desktop version.
You can see the Responsive Web Design in action by going to the Abberdein website and resizing the width of your browser.
Print Design
In addition to the album artwork design, we had the opportunity to work on other print design as well. We designed a full-bleed 8.5" x 11", 300ppi CD Release Concert flier. It's always great to work on such a high resolution design where the amount of detail we are able to include comes out looking truly wonderful in print.
We also designed a pricing sheet and table signs for the Abberdein merchandise to be used at gigs and events that were consistent with the rest of the project.
Other Merchandise Design
With the T-Shirt design, we wanted to tie in all of the elements to create a symbolic representation of the project as a whole. We used the same globe that is on the Heart Like Your Heart album cover, and incorporated the illustration that is also present on the CD and other print material.
The stickers feature the iconic balloon-holding figure that is also present on the CD face. It's a nice, simple concept that is very effective as a sticker.
Our band was doing something completely different from other projects we had done before. We sat down with the team from Bold Perspective and simply shared from our hearts what we were looking for in an album design and website. Bold Perspective took that vision and created a unique and effective design that communicates what our project is all about, presents information and resources in a way that just makes sense, and connects our audience to our project in a way we couldn't have imagined! The website is VERY easy to keep up-to-date, which as a busy musician, is invaluable. We are very satisfied and happily recommend Bold Perspective to anyone needing to bring their vision to the world.
Ben Toalson, Abberdein

Polyoxymethylene (POM), also known as acetal,[1] polyacetal and polyformaldehyde, is an engineering thermoplastic used in precision parts requiring high stiffness, low friction and excellent dimensional stability. As with many other synthetic polymers, it is produced by different chemical firms with slightly different formulas and sold variously by such names as Delrin, Celcon, Ramtal, Duracon, Kepital and Hostaform.
Typical applications for injection-molded POM include high performance engineering components such as small gear wheels, ball bearings, ski bindings, fasteners, knife handles, and lock systems. The material is widely used in the automotive and consumer electronics industry.
Polyoxymethylene was discovered by Hermann Staudinger, a German chemist who received the 1953 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He had studied the polymerization and structure of POM in the 1920s while researching macromolecules, which he characterized as polymers. Due to problems with thermal stability, POM was not commercialized at that time.
Around 1952 research chemists at DuPont synthesized a version of POM, and in 1956 the company filed for patent protection of the homopolymer. DuPont credits R. N. MacDonald as the inventor of high molecular weight POM.[2] Patents by MacDonald and coworkers describe the preparation of high molecular weight hemiacetal (~O-CH2OH) terminated POM,[3] but these lack sufficient thermal stability to be commercially viable. The inventor of a heat-stable (and therefore useful) POM homopolymer was Dal Nagore,[4] who discovered that reacting the hemiacetal ends with acetic anhydride converts the readily depolymerizable hemiacetal into a thermally stable, melt processable plastic.
DuPont completed construction of a plant to produce its own version of acetal resin, named Delrin at Parkersburg, West Virginia, in 1960. Also in 1960, Celanese completed its own research. Shortly thereafter, in a limited partnership with the Frankfurt firm Hoechst AG, a factory was built in Kelsterbach, Hessen; from there, Celcon was produced starting in 1962, with Hostaform joining it a year later. Both remain in production under the auspices of Celanese, and are sold as parts of a product group now called Hostaform/Celcon POM.
POM is characterized by its high strength, hardness and rigidity to −40 °C. POM is intrinsically opaque white, due to its high crystalline composition, but it is available in all colors. POM has a density of ρ = 1.410–1.420 g/cm³.[5]
POM homopolymer is a semi-crystalline polymer (75–85% crystalline) with a melting point of 175 °C. The POM copolymer has a slightly lower melting point of 162–173 °C.
POM is a tough material with a very low coefficient of friction. However, it is susceptible to polymer degradation catalyzed by acids, which is why it is stabilized - both the homopolymer and the copolymer have chain end groups (introduced via end capping) that resist depolymerization. With the copolymer, the second unit is normally a C2 (ethylene glycol) or C4 (1,4-butanediol) unit, which is introduced via its cyclic acetal (which can be made from the diol and formaldehyde) or cyclic ether (e.g. ethylene oxide). These units resist chain cleavage, because the O-linkage is now no longer an acetal group, but an ether linkage, which is stable to hydrolysis. POM is sensitive to oxidation, and an anti-oxidant is normally added to molding grades of the material.
POM advantages:
Different manufacturing processes are used to produce the homopolymer and copolymer versions of POM.
To make polyoxymethylene homopolymer, anhydrous formaldehyde must be generated. The principal method is by reaction of the aqueous formaldehyde with an alcohol to create a hemiformal, dehydration of the hemiformal/water mixture (either by extraction or vacuum distillation) and release of the formaldehyde by heating the hemiformal. The formaldehyde is then polymerized by anionic catalysis and the resulting polymer stabilized by reaction with acetic anhydride. A typical example is DuPont's Delrin.
To make polyoxymethylene copolymer, formaldehyde is generally converted to trioxane (specifically 1,3,5-trioxane, also known as trioxin). This is done by acid catalysis (either sulfuric acid or acidic ion exchange resins) followed by purification of the trioxane by distillation and/or extraction to remove water and other active hydrogen containing impurities. Typical copolymers are Hostaform from Ticona and Ultraform from BASF.
The co-monomer is typically dioxolane but ethylene oxide can also be used. Dioxolane is formed by reaction of ethylene glycol with aqueous formaldehyde over an acid catalyst. Other diols can also be used.
Trioxane and Dioxolane are polymerized using an acid catalyst, often boron trifluoride etherate, BF3 OEt2. The polymerization can take place in a non-polar solvent (in which case the polymer forms as a slurry) or in neat trioxane (e.g. in an extruder). After polymerization, the acidic catalyst must be deactivated and the polymer stabilized by melt or solution hydrolysis in order to remove the unstable end groups.
Stable polymer is melt compounded, adding thermal and oxidative stabilizers and optionally lubricants and miscellaneous fillers.
POM is supplied in a granulated form and can be formed into the desired shape by applying heat and pressure. The two most common forming methods employed are injection molding and extrusion. Rotational molding and blow molding are also possible.
Typical applications for injection-molded POM include high performance engineering components (e.g. gear wheels, ski bindings, fasteners, lock systems) and the material is widely used in the automotive and consumer electronics industry. There are special grades that offer higher mechanical toughness, stiffness or low friction/ wear properties.
POM is commonly extruded as continuous lengths of round or rectangular section. These sections can be cut to length and sold as bar or sheet stock for machining.
When supplied as extruded bar or sheet, POM may be machined using traditional methods such as turning, milling, drilling etc. These techniques are best employed where production economics do not merit the expense of melt processing. The material is free-cutting, but does require sharp tools with a high clearance angle. The use of soluble cutting lubricant is not necessary, but is recommended.
POM sheets can be cut cleanly and accurately using an infrared laser, such as in a CO2 laser cutter.
Because the material lacks the rigidity of most metals, care should be taken to use light clamping forces and sufficient support for the work piece.
Machined POM can be dimensionally unstable, especially with parts that have large variations in wall thicknesses. It is recommended that such features be 'designed-out' e.g. by adding fillets or strengthening ribs. Annealing of pre-machined parts before final finishing is an alternative. A rule-of-thumb is that in general, small components machined in POM suffer from less warping.
POM is typically very difficult to bond. Special processes and treatments have been developed to improve bonding. Typically these processes involve surface etching, flame treatment or mechanical abrasion.
Typical etching processes involve chromic acid at elevated temperatures. DuPont has a patented process for treating acetal homopolymer called satinizing which creates anchor points on the surface, giving an adhesive something to grab. There are also processes involving oxygen plasma and corona discharge.[6][7]
Once the surface is prepared, a number of adhesives can be used for bonding. These include epoxies, polyurethanes, and cyanoacrylates. Epoxies have shown 150-500 psi shear strength on mechanically abraded surfaces and 500-1000 psi on chemically treated surfaces. Cyanoacrylates are useful for bonding to metal, leather, rubber and other plastics.
Solvent welding is typically unsuccessful on acetal polymers, due to the excellent solvent resistance of acetal.
Thermal welding through various methods has been used successfully on both homopolymer and copolymer.
Acetal resins are sensitive to acid hydrolysis and oxidation by agents such as mineral acids and chlorine. POM homopolymer is also susceptible to alkaline attack and is more susceptible to degradation in hot water. Both POM homopolymer and copolymer are stabilized to mitigate these types of degradation. Thus low levels of chlorine in potable water supplies (1–3 ppm) can be sufficient to cause stress corrosion cracking to develop, a problem which has been experienced in both the USA and Europe in domestic and commercial water supply systems. Defective mouldings are most sensitive to cracking, but normal mouldings will succumb if the water is hot.
Widespread failure of acetal mouldings in potable and hot water supplies resulted in one of the largest class actions in the USA when acetal plumbing fittings cracked and caused flooding of homes, a problem exacerbated by similar problems with polybutylene pipework. The acetal fittings tended to fail first, followed by the pipework.[citation needed]
In chemistry applications, whilst the polymer is often suitable for the majority of glassware work, it can succumb to catastrophic failure. An example of this would be using the polymer clips on hot areas of the glassware (such as a flask to column, column to head or head to condenser joint during distillation). As the polymer is sensitive to both chlorine and acid hydrolysis, it may perform very poorly when exposed to the reactive gases, particularly hydrogen chloride. Failures in this latter instance can occur with seemingly unimportant exposures from well sealed joints, and do so without warning and rapidly (the component will split or fall apart). This can be a significant health hazard as the glass may open or smash. Here, PTFE or a high grade stainless steel may be a more appropriate choice.

Think other leftists don't share the views of Helen Thomas on Israel and Jews?
Hey Helen Thomas, you were wonderful, you were great but cya have a nice life!! Give a kook enough rope and he or she will surely hang themselves. Liberals in the media wear their ideological feelings on their sleeves. This is nothing surprising or new, so I wasn't surprised when "former" White House reporter Helen Thomas verbally assaulted Israelis in an anti semitic diatribe.
Rabbi David Nesenoff asked Helen Thomas about the Jews in Israel. To say that he was taken back by the response from Thomas is an understatement.
Helen's apology couldn't have been taken seriously. It always seems to be that people tend to apologize for their comments or deeds "after they get caught". I have yet to hear a person apologize for their actions before they got caught. This is why Helen's so called apology is beyond fake with not even an ounce of sincerity. If Rabbi Nessenoff's video was never aired, Helen Thomas wouldn't have made no attempt to "back step" what she said. Here fake apology mirrors the comments of liberal politician when it comes to Israel. I have no doubt that behind closed doors their true colors come out and they mirror identically the sentiment that Helen Thomas shares against Israel. This is an anti Israel protest rally held in San Francisco a few years ago. San Francisco of course if an ultra liberal city, and this is what the so called tolerant left wingers think about Israel and Jews.
Here's more peace and love by the compassionate and tolerant left towards Israel in San Francisco. I remember the left using the term "hate speech" to describe talk radio. I wonder what do they call this?
If the national media was able to have it's way, they would have suppressed the video of Helen Thomas, but they couldn't do it. Once the video went viral and became a lighting rod for local and national talk radio hosts, the damage was done. They couldn't save Thomas. I can't for the life of me figure out why American Jews side with anti semitic liberals in our country. What is in it for American Jews in stabbing Israel in the back?

Jeff Hunt is the new football coach at Spaulding High School. Hunt is a senior pastor at the First United Methodist Church in Rochester. (Democrat file photo)
ROCHESTER — The Spaulding High School football team needs stability at the top, and new head coach Jeff Hunt hopes to provide it."That's definitely pretty high up on my list," he said.After being recommended by the personnel committee earlier this month and approved by the School Board on Thursday night, Hunt became the Red Raiders' fifth head coach in five years."He was the best fit for our program for continuity," Spaulding athletic director Kevin Hebert wrote in an email.Although this is Hunt's first head coaching job, he has a wealth of experience as an assistant, including last year with Spaulding.He replaces Claude Gagnon, who resigned after one year as head coach."Taking the next step and becoming a head coach is really exciting," Hunt said. "I love being an assistant coach, but this came up when Claude stepped down and he encouraged me to apply for the position."Hunt was an assistant at Brunswick (Maine) High School for seven years before joining the Red Raiders last season. He was also an assistant at Lincoln-Sudbury High School in Sudbury, Mass., for a year and in Leicester, Mass., for another 10 years before that.
"Jeff shares my philosophy of producing good young men, students and then athletes," Hebert wrote. "He is a pastor in Rochester and a great role model for our student-athletes. He has kids in the school system and will be here for the long haul. He is very passionate about football, but more importantly about doing the right things both on and off the field. I'm excited to be able to remain on staff with him as an assistant." Hunt, a senior pastor at the First United Methodist Church in Rochester, is originally from Leicester, Mass., which is located west of Worcester. He's been primarily a line coach throughout a career that has spanned nearly two decades."I have a great deal of trust in the people we have on our staff right now," Hunt said. "It's always been like that. I know the buck stops at my desk. I do want to know what's going on all the time and have the final say. I want to have an offensive coordinator and a defensive coordinator and for them to take that and run with it. I see myself more as an overseer or a manager."
Spaulding slipped to 3-6 last season after reaching the Division II semifinals the previous year."I think it could have been different," Hunt said. "We lost a few games late in the fourth quarter. We came close to making the playoffs. Even though our record doesn't show it we had a pretty successful year. I think the program is headed in the right direction."The Red Raiders return a number of veteran linemen from last season along with 1,000-yard rusher Trey Scott.The biggest holes to fill appear to be at quarterback and linebacker."I think we're going to be a team that plays with toughness," Hunt said. "I think we're going to be a team that plays with class. I think you'll see a team that puts forth its best effort every game and every practice. The wins and losses will take care of themselves."Hunt plans to make a long-term commitment to Spaulding and the football program. He has four children in the school system — three boys and a girl.The church often requires pastors to relocate, but less so when the kids reach high school age.
"I'll have children of my own at Spaulding High School for the next 13 years," Hunt said, "so I really anticipate not having to move for 12-13 years. That's a difficult thing for a kid to go through. We love Rochester. I don't want to predict the future but I think this will be a good fit for a long, long time. I can see me finishing my career here."I'm one of those guys who grabs on to things," he added, "and holds on to them."

If you are already a guest or a member sign in below.
Next time you open a jar of pasta sauce, have a look at the inside of the lid. Around the edge there's a ring of rubbery material — a gasket, that fits against the glass and forms the seal. It's made from PVC but also contains chemicals called plasticisers, which give it the right mechanical properties to form a good seal. This seal ensures the food inside is protected from harmful bacteria. In our test of 25 foods in glass jars, 13 contained the plastic-softening chemicals epoxidised soybean oil (ESBO) or phthalates at levels that exceed the limits set by the European Union. Australian food regulations don't set limits for these chemicals and while there's no immediate risk to your health, there's no guarantee that these chemicals are OK in the long-term. CHOICE wants better protection for consumers.
We haven't listed the products we tested because they are just examples of the many affected products likely to be on the market and they pose no immediate health danger to individuals. What we are concerned with is the long-term health implications of plasticisers migrating into foods. CHOICE wants to see the industry and the regulator address the risk of plasticisers in food. The food industry needs to find alternatives to ESBO and phthalates that are known to be safe, while FSANZ should ensure the Food Standards Code sets limits for plasticisers in food.
Please note: this information was current as of June 2008 but is still a useful guide today.

If you read my first message on my wonderful 38 y / o daughter will know that we on a little secret, a mutual interest in flogging Mary, where she is the recipient of my strict attention. Mary is a very respectable woman and mother of three and it must be said, an attractive woman, tall and redhead with a slim toned body, but firm. also has a big ass (not to thank me for saying so. ) Mary has always seen deliciousmovies myself as an authority n and always willing to listen to my advice n in a series of questions luckily for me, she is now my Consulting following in relation to 'duck ', as it led down panties! I would like a session, that tell stories with Mary. Mary arrived at ten o'clock after the school career and a little tea shop n , we talked about this and that, until the subject turned to his ' prank ' Since our last is together. Mary wearing a blue jersey with gray pants, on I enjoyed the view of its widefinal when she came deliciousmovies into my living room. I smiled to myself at the thought of the cane, I would manage to . Your ass always looks so tempting in the pants I think that is as the fabric stretches and shows a hint of her panties. lost Mary 's knee before we start with n tell you up and remove their pants and then return. Maria again in deliciousmovies her blouse and underwear, but could only see the top of the legs, when they entered n ( for example, long beautiful legs ). I instructed Mary to leather straps the cupboard, and when I tried turned has a nice view on the cheeks knickered. Mary always wears underwear sensible, fully guaranteed kind of waist (I do not care). is in a brown (very appropriate), and n hugged his broad back wonderful. Mary thrilling anticipation of fear So I have to do what is expected, horrible. for this purpose, I had to lean on the back of the sofa Mary when I met the wonderfulObjective, white buttocks earthquake under tight pants. craack AAAAAAghhh CRACK ! AAAAGGH ! 'Please, Geoff ! Ten times I opened the strap on your buttocks wait n enjoy the discomfort he was causing. S decided on this occasion, that their' bad habits ' won six strokes stroke, he said, desperately I - law and daughter. Mary brought my staff handled cane wicker basket umbrella and then bent deliciousmovies to touch your toes ( Mary knows that this n how to manage the soil). took the time to reach your top and rub their n panties fell. Mary protested weakly, as he was down, peel the panties significant that show great creamy, but red the back ( and of course ginger Busch). n SWISH owwwww deliciousmovies SWISH ! YEEOWWWW for years, I admire this beautiful deliciousmovies group today \\ \\ n I get it to thrash luck! Then Mary smiled, and asked if that enjoyed ' today's lesson,' to which she smiled and said no. Lately, I've managed to convince Maria to I massagecold cream in the ass stinging, s that was at first, because the intamacy reserved, , but I was happy to be able to convince me it was a it safe to do.
