Tidbits from Book #4
Okay, start talking, Wass-man! Have you got a scheduled release date yet?
October 5th, 2006, 04:19 PM #2
Yes, I do. April 2007. It's supposed to be out pre-pub in December. I hope Windstorm is on schedule. I was a few weeks late with the final draft. But I hope it was worth it.

Nice! The whole thing really seemed to shift gears in book 3. Do you know if the cover art will be by the same artist?
October 6th, 2006, 10:13 AM #4
It is by the same artist. I posted it somewhere on my forum, or a link to it at least.
The cover is AWESOME!

Robert illustrated a book by Steven Savile last year, a beautiful, small book, much like a film noire or dark comic. I urge you to buy it if you enjoy his art. Steve is a great writer of dark fantasy and horror.

Hey Maus! I haven't been posting there at all. It's more for information than it is for me to chronicle my thoughts. I'm not great at talking to myself outloud.
Book IV will be out in April if everything is still on schedule. I was a little late with the final manuscript. The editing process this time was very different - a new editor!

Harumph, I will go read the chapter, but couldn't you drop a few hints as to plot? The path of some of the characters?

Everything's spinning and spinning, dangerously close to the edges. Lot's of uncertainty along the way. But Davmiran is learning how to fight, to think and to use his power. Tomas is riddled with doubt and can't find his way while Colton grows bolder by the day. The Sisters are discovering strengths of their own. Yet even so, the Lalas have an agenda that none understand and it's creating unusual alliances.

Kallie Graham, a Senior Staff Neonatal Nurse at Hennepin County Medical Center, talks about her job.
Q: What's a typical workday like for you?
It is never typical or dull. I work 12-hour shifts and may have one to four patients, depending on their acuity. I organize each baby's day in terms of feeding time, medications, procedures/testing, discharge needs and family needs. I attend high-risk deliveries with a neonatal nurse practitioner or physician and assist with resuscitation, stabilization, transport and admissions.
Q: How does your role fit into the bigger healthcare picture?
Neonatal nurses provide the most up-to-date, evidence-based care to minimize the long-term impact to premature babies' bodies and to the healthcare system. I am the front-line nurse who directs their plan of care from admission through discharge, which can span from days to months.
Q: Who do you interact with during the course of the day?
I interact with people from many disciplines, from surgeons to public health nurses and everyone in between. In a typical day, I mainly interact with babies, their families, other nurses, neonatologists, neonatal nurse practitioners and respiratory therapists, as well as residents, nursing students and nurse practitioner students.
Q: Why did you become a neonatal nurse?
The role encompasses everything I loved learning in nursing school: high-tech, being involved in and utilizing research, providing critical care, creative problem-solving, increased autonomy, working with many disciplines, and most of all, working with parents and their new babies.
Q: What do you like about your work?
I love working on a team to give the best care we can. It's one of my greatest joys to see parents proudly leave our unit with their baby for the first time, and to know that I had a hand in making that possible is amazing.

I love the smell! I definitely only use it on days when my hair feels like it needs some extra help because of my coarse/dry ends. It's definitely not a conditioner I use all the time, just once in a while. Because like some of what the other reviewers said - it is a heavy conditioner. It's what I would use for deep conditioning.
I've been using this product regularly since I bought it 5 months ago. I'm very pleased. I have read many good things about this over the years in reviews on many beauty websites, blogs, and magazines. I finally decided to take a chance and ordered the bigger size they have available just because it's more economical, even though it was risky given that I may not like it. Well, turns out, I do like it. And I don't just like it, I love it! This has really benefited my hair. I previously had been using Matrix Biolage Conditioning Balm, which is a lovely silicone-free product that works great on my hair, too, but I prefer to use that after protein treatments and not as a regular conditioner since it's a tad heavier. I have never found a regular/daily conditioner that I felt really did anything to my hair they always felt like potions that I put on and washed out that didn't seem to do anything for my hair.
Enter: Terax Crema. This is the ideal daily conditioner for me. I like the semi-thick consistency. It's easy to distribute throughout the hair and coats it so that it detangles easily. After rinsing, hair has slip to it and feels sleek. The amazing part is, this conditioner is not formulated without silicones, so it's not exactly an artificial sort of slip. A lot of people comment that this conditioner smells weird, either like wet dog or old lady, but my particular bottle smelled like neither. It is kind of a light vanilla scent, and it doesn't last after washing it off. I swim regularly and have dyed and highlighted my hair, and my hair still looks normal. My stylist commented on the health of my hair, saying that my hair could take a beating! I credit it towards this conditioner (as well as the Matrix Biolage Conditioning Balm).
In addition, my hair is very thick and porous, so this has been great for that. It doesn't weigh down my hair at all and keeps it in great condition. Totally worth the money for me. I'm glad I purchased this, and I highly recommend it, especially since it is a silicone-free formula, meaning no product build-up with this! I also think the new packaging is cute and looks kind of chic in my shower.

The tallow ingredient in this leaves a very heavy coating on my hair, making it very difficult to comb and style. Tried it as a leave-in, but by the next co-wash, my hair felt dry and crispy.
This is seriously one of the best conditioners that I've ever used, and I'm always testing new ones out all the time. It is expensive, and I found mine on amazon.
One of the coolest things about this conditioner is that I don't even have to straighten my hair after I use it. Just a little bit of argan oil to the tips, and I'm good to go.
Besides the price, I'm not too crazy about the smell when it initally comes out of the bottle...it's a little animalistic/musky....weird.
But after I rinse it out, there's a nice light scent, just a light musk smell.
I'm not sure I would buy it again based on the price, but it is pretty awesome, unlike any conditioner I've used before (well maybe similar to matrix biolage leave in conditioner)

Oh my word this is awesome conditioner. I have fine thin hair. I use it on my ends/past my ears and couple times a week all over. I have never had such healthy shiny conditioned hair before. I am hesitant to use conditioner because of how thin and fine my hair is...but not with this stuff. The smell does not even bother me at all, I don't know what all the fuss is about that part of it. Worth every penny, I only use a small amount. I got several bottles on clearance at Ulta and super stoked to have enough for quite sometime. I keep a small travel size in my spare bathroom and guests in my home have also fallen in love with it.

I got a travel-size bottle as a gift with an online purchase so I took it with me on a holiday I took to the beach. My hair is not in great condition and the beach tends to make it so much worse but this conditioner helped me keep my hair shiny and stop it from getting coarse like it usually does around summer.
I didn't do anything special with it, I just used it like normal conditioner and it did the trick. There are a lot of comments about the smell and while I wouldn't say I like the smell, it's not disgusting by any means. Also I could smell it in the shower but it didn't linger in my hair once I got out so there was really no problem.
I would definitely purchase the full size if I had the money but right now it's just too expensive for my poor uni student budget.

My hair didn't like this like many other reviews suggested. It left a type of waxy film on my hair. The search continues . For reference I have henna red hair, mid back, wavy, I use strengther once a week, no blow drying or products.usually left in a bun.
For me, this is an average conditioner. It's not a great detangler, and I can't see it provided much moisture. I didn't hate it, but it was just okay. Was expecting better results based on the great reviews online. Will finish the blottle, but not repurchase

HG for me as well. I've been using for years and it's simply the best conditioner I've ever used. I've strayed from time to time and nothing ever beats this stuff. The smell is a bit odd but it doesn't linger and is easily masked with my styling products. I have fine, thin hair and use it sparingly from ears down mostly (I use all over on the weekends). It can weigh fine hair down if you use too much, leave on too long and use on roots too often. But I find it a great everyday conditioner and when left on for 10 min (or longer), an amazing deep conditioner as well. The 16.9 oz bottle is $30 but it lasts me almost 6 months - I think that's VERY reasonable.
This is my HG conditioner. It has never, ever failed me, and I've used up many tubes of it.
It is expensive, yes. But it's one of those products that are worth their high price.
The scent is pleasant, to me. And I like it that it lingers in my hair for a while.
I keep it on for anywhere in between 15 min and 2 hours, but the amount of time it's on doesn't really matter, the end result is the same: soft, shiny, healthy feeling and looking hair. I used to fry my hair with the blow drier and flat iron on a weekly basis, now not as much, and needless to say my hair was brittle and snapping and blah... Plus it is fine and thin...But every time I used the Crema, it went right back to being healthier. I have other hair products that I like, but if I were to pick only one to take with me on a deserted island, it would be this one!

Nursing Before Nightingale is a study of the transformation of nursing in England from the beginning of the nineteenth century until the emergence of the Nightingale nurse as the standard model in the 1890s. From the nineteenth century on historians have considered Florence Nightingale, with her training school established at St. Thomas's Hospital in 1860, the founder of modern nursing. This book investigates two major earlier reforms in nursing: a doctor-driven reform which came to be called the 'ward system,' and the reforms of the Anglican Sisters, known as the 'central system' of nursing. Rather than being the beginning of nursing reform, Nightingale nursing was the culmination of these two earlier reforms. Recent historians of nursing have ascribed the nineteenth century makeover of nursing to two causes: medicalization by hospital doctors who found the old independent nurse practitioners a threat, and the inculcation of middle class values by philanthropists. By contrast this volume demonstrates that the real cause of nursing reform was the development of the new scientific medicine which emphasized supportive therapeutics and, as a result, became heavily dependent on skilled nursing for successful implementation of these treatments. The pre-industrial work ethic of the old hospital nurses could not meet the requirements of the new medicine. Recruitment and retention of working-class persons was also extremely difficult because nursing in the early nineteenth century formed the lowest rung of the occupation of domestic service and was a job of last resort. It was still more difficult to recruit educated women or 'ladies.' There were intricate interactions between the requirements of clinical nursing under hospital medicine's new regime on the one hand, and on the other, the contemporary ideal of a lady, class structure, economic realities, the reformation of manners, and the detrimental impact of violent denominational controversies in a very religious society. This book, therefore, will be of great value to those studying the history of medicine, labour, religion, gender studies and the rise of a respectable society in the nineteenth century.
Contents: Preface; Glossary; The new medicine and its dependence on good nursing; Hospital nursing in the first part of the century; The ward system: a doctor-driven reform; Early efforts at training; Nursing at the crossroads, part I: ladies and religious sisters in the Crimean war; Nursing at the crossroads, part 2: working-class nurses in the Crimean War; St John's House and its mission; The St John's House central nursing system; The demise of sisterhood nursing and the central system; Conclusion; Bibliography; Index.
About the Author: Carol Helmstadter wrote this book when Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Nursing, University of Toronto and Judith Godden when at The University of Sydney as Senior Lecturer in the School of Public Health and later Honorary Associate of the Department of History. Carol is an award-winning nurse historian who publishes widely on nineteenth-century nursing. Judith now works in Sydney as a professional historian specialising in the history of medicine.
Reviews: Prize: Winner of The Lavinia L. Dock Award for 2012A Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2012'… bridges the historical gap in nursing scholarship, bringing a fresh perspective on the contributions of many over centuries to the development of the nursing profession. Valuable for anyone interested in the history of medicine, or religious, labor, or gender studies. Summing Up: Essential. All academic readers.' Choice'Nursing before Nightingale excels in linking the micro-practices of nursing to macro-issues of gender, medicine, class, and denominational prejudice. It is essential reading for anyone wanting to venture beyond the famous figures of Gamp and Nightingale and delve into the complex world of Victorian nursing.'Victorian Studies'This is the first work that has proposed a model for changes in hospital nursing that spans the whole of the nineteenth century and puts the Nightingale system as the culmination of these attempts at reform, not the start… essential reading for all those interested in the history of British nursing.' Social History of Medicine'This is a highly readable and fascinating account of the struggles faced by early nurse reformers. It will be of interest to historians, nurses, and anyone interested in medical history at both an undergraduate and postgraduate level. But perhaps Helmstadter and Godden's greatest achievement is to look at the early history of modern nursing and show how relevant this story is to nursing today. In the end, Nightingale's more secular model of nursing prevailed in our memory and nurses continue to fight for full professional recognition today.' Journal of Religious History'This book is extremely valuable because it presents a new image of pre-Nightingale nursing in England and illuminates the overlooked importance of religious nurses to the reforms in England, which should encourage further historical research on this topic.' Canadian Bulletin of Medical History'In their compelling book, the authors meticulously analyze extensive primary sources, including hospital records and papers of Florence Nightingale and Anglican sisters. … [It] places nursing history in broad sociocultural contexts and challenges historians in other fields to consider healthcare as central to the nineteenth-century master narrative.' The Historian'… thought-provoking and timely.' Bulletin of the History of Medicine'… a clear and concise analysis of nursing reform before Nightingale became the iconic figure of the nursing profession.' Medical History

Good info for those who want to learn.
So the cauldron spilled in Salem and, vectored by softened brains, this infecting plague has become an American epidemic.
If a list of sexual killers is needed, why not register HIV positives?
According to Salem-News, "there are those inevitable memories of our younger more foolish days, fooling around in a parked car."
Adults reminisce about their foolish days, not relive them.
One of the women arrested said "How stupid to be arrested and charged for just having a little innocent and consensual fun in the car."
"Public place" turns on the location of the car, not public access to the passenger compartment of the car.
"There was nobody else in the park."
Except the police. Unless the park is patrolled by Robocop, the police are people too.
"Don't police have better things to do than to search parks for adult couples fooling around?"
Like searching parks for people dealing drugs. Nonetheless, confidence in law enforcement is undermined if the police enforce some laws and ignore other laws.
"[W]hen they pass sex crime laws in this state, they throw this one in, without telling the public about it, why?"
The state government of Oregon publishes a compilation of state statutes. Whether or not people actually read the published statutes, the public has notice of the state's sex crime laws.
One of the women arrested asked "But just how far will the lawmakers in Oregon go to make every adult sexual activity that is consensual a sex crime?"
The correct question is "But just how far will the lawmakers in Oregon go to make every adult sexual activity that is consensual AND IN A PUBLIC PLACE a sex crime?"
Ann73 wrote "For those of you who support current sex offender laws ...."
In a just society, the mentally ill are not held to a higher standard than the mentally sound. In a free society, the government does not keep secret records on the citizenry. In an informed society, adults know that having sex in a public place is illegal.
After reading Ann73's enlightened comments on sex crimes, I have flip-flopped and now agree that the current sex laws need to be changed. In a just and free society, anything less than the total abolition of sex offender registries is unacceptable.
BTW is there a registry for killers and fraudsters?
"Knowing if a sex offender lives in my neighborhood is my right!"
Lets just ban anonymous posting altogether, starting with YOU, Americus. Tell us your name, where you live, what kind of car you drive, all your identifying features, send me a pic, I want your address, where you work, who you're dating, your criminal record, your home phone number, your email address, any online screen names you use, and I want a DNA sample and a psychological test done on you, too. After all, its for the good of our children, and how do we know you're not a paedophile using Predator Panic as a cover to get close to children? Besides, don't people like you state how much under reporting of sex crimes there are?
When you wish the degradation of rights to a group of people, no matter how unlikeable, you risk it happening to you.
Re: "Americus Curiae:"
Enough with the same tired old propaganda. Society is growing wiser to the fear mongering and myths. For every article you post, there are thousands of registrants that don't make headlines because they don't re-offend. And that is IN SPITE of the law. Considering how the negative consequences of the Walsh Act far outweigh any perceived "benefits" of the Walsh Act (read: False sense of security), to support such an atrocious act actually means you care more about vengeance than about public safety. You also err in assuming that "sex offender advocates" are fighting these laws to remain "anonymous" not out of fear of retaliation, but to hide what they did. In America, almost half of registrants as well as half of family members of registrants (including their biological children) are harassed or assaulted by vigilante scum, many of whom get off "Scott free." It is becoming a serious issue, as increasing numbers of registrants are murdered or assaulted. Using your own logic, to support vigilantism must mean you're a child hater. Does being the child of a registrant excuse committing crimes against them?
Go check out www.oncefallen.com and learn the truth.
Prosecutors say a registered sex offender deliberately crashed his car into a Huntington Beach teenager's vehicle so he could rape her.
One thing I've learned over the years is that sex offenders are very smart. They groom their victims, weave their way into families and know exactly how to manipulate members of the community (and so called journalists as we've seen here) Let's get one thing straight, IF a child is under the age of consent, then they cannot "consent", why you are attempting to make the argument is beyond me, but if a grown man manipulates, grooms or coerces a 15 year old into sex it's a crime. Whether or not the child was vulnerable or naive enough to go along with it isn't the case. There's another reason sexual deviants want the law changed, and they are hiding behind the "Romeo/Juliette cases (which rarely happen), and have teamed up with irate sex offenders who are not happy because the law actually works.
Let's face it, anonymity is a sex offenders best weapon, of course sex offenders don't like the law, it prevents them from finding more victims! There's a group of sex offenders and others all over the United States who are trying to change our laws. They are convinced that non violent sex (or as they call it consensual sex) should NOT be a crime, even when it's between an adult and a three year old. Seriously, they think three year olds can consent to sex. They are also convinced that they should not have serve time in prison for raping (oh sorry, non violently having sex with a three-year old) should be treated as a mental disorder. Don't let them fool you. This so called article is filled with the propaganda this group has been spewing for the past five years. If you care anything about kids you will disregard it and contact your elected officials and ask them to fund the Adam Walsh Child Protection Act that will create a tiered system and accountability for those who choose to commit these crimes. I've heard the "sad" stories from sex offenders. Many will not give their real names when they comment, not because they are afraid of retaliation, but because it would allow you to find out what they really did. Remember, there's always two sides to the story. Awareness is the key to keeping children safe, which is why we need to know who these people are. Sex offenders have people advocating for them, and trying to make the offenders of these crimes the victims, but let's not forget who the real victims are and how their lives have been shattered. It's simple... If offenders do not want to be on the registry, they should STOP molesting kids. Knowing if a sex offender lives in my neighborhood is my right!
What a hypocritical society we live in-our sex saturated culture is out of control! Why are young men who have one consensual incident being labeled for life, sent to jail, kept on probation for years? The emotional and financial stress on them and their families is unbelievable. I'd like to know why there are no lists for adulterers, pornographers, drug dealers, etc.? Why can't we use some common sense and compassion
to seperate the truly dangerous and evil pedators from our young men who make a stupid mistake? Why don't we change the laws to acknowledge that there are many aggressive, messed up girls who should also have some responsibility in the charge?
Schools should be very aggresive in informing students that "safe sex" doesn't work for yet another reason--you could end up in jail or prison!
For those of you who support current sex offender laws, what do you think of these three cases? All involve married couples. The men are on the registry and separated from their children.
I basiclly think that laws that protects women are reversely expanding sexual discrimination.
When people are trying to strengthen women's right, they subcounciously plant the seed, that women is inferior to men.
So, I claim that this problem should be solved by morality in the long term, and in a proper way.
Ann73 – Now I understand!
If, because of public humiliation, it is unjust to put on a sex offender registry a competent adult who is able to control his actions, then where is the justice in publicly shaming a mentally-ill adult who is unable to control his urges?
Ann73 wrote "I'm off this crazy merry-go-round. I'll let those who suffer less from motion sickness deal with you if they choose to bother."
Perhaps I can explain the nausea.
I admit that I know nothing about psychiatry, pedophilia as an illness or disorder, and the punishment and rehabilitation of pedophiles. That might explain your dissatisfaction with my attempts to answer your question. If I cannot see the difference between pedophilia and statutory rape, then I will compare statutory rape to two other crimes.
An element of the crime of statutory rape is the inability of the minor victim to consent to sexual intercourse. An element of the crime of rape is the unwillingness of the adult victim to consent to sexual intercourse. And an element of the crime of sexual battery is the inability (in the case of a minor victim) or the unwillingness (in the case of an adult victim) to a sexual "touching."
Statutory rape, rape and sexual battery are sex crimes. In my opinion, society's interests are vindicated through the imprisonment and sex offender registration of any person who is convicted of a sex crime.
Ann73 wrote "You seem unaware that throughout the history of our country patriots have fought against unconstitutional and unjust laws. You seem unaware that many bad laws have been repealed."
Clarissa1982 wrote "Wow! It sounds unbelievable to me! How different countries can be! In Brazil, I've never learned of laws about the intimate sex lives of people...."
Historical and cross-cultural normative judgments are suspect. Ann73 uses current norms to judge past norms, and Clarissa1982 uses Brazilian norms to judge American norms. Our ancestors did not have the experience of life in the 21st century, and I imagine a very small percentage of Americans were raised in a Brazilian household. I am certainly aware that people individually and as a society evolve over time; nonetheless, our personal values are shaped by our cultural traditions and experiences in life. Although tradition is common to a society, no two people share the same life experiences. Thus, statements about justice and morality might be nothing more than the expression of personal opinion.
In the movie "Becoming Jane," Tom Lefroy (a young lawyer) was told by his uncle (a judge) that the purpose of the law is to protect private property (which might explain Mr. Lefroy's quip about justice and the law).
To sum up (or complete the circle of) all my prior comments on this article and my answer to Ann73's question, if the law succeeds in protecting people (especially the young and the vulnerable) from other people, in my opinion, society as a whole is better off.
HELP! Our American citizens are being held hostage and under siege by the U.S. Government and their Magen's "HIT LIST". This problem demands attention, NOW! Please, As American refugees we need assistance, an advocate, legal guidance and representation to secure our constitutional, legal and human rights!
Children, teens and young adults, all across this grand country are being ripped from their homes, people are forced out of their homes and away from their loved ones, homeless, unemployed and treated worse then animals! And Kids from consensual acts are imprisoned across our nation! Family's are destroyed and begging for some common sense and honesty in our laws. Texas has sentenced kids to 40 - 60 years right now, it's sick! In spite of the Supreme Courts opinion in Roper v. Simmon , it's noted, Youths are not mentally mature or culpable when committing murder and deserve rehabilitation and a second chance. But, Sex Offender Laws overrides all reasoning for juvenile protection, in this country a consensual sex act equals culpability, extreme punishment, lifetime registration, tracking humiliation and exiled, way worse then any adult gets for murder? These laws are out of whack and Laws are being broken, the constitution is ignored, human rights are violated and this government isn't willing to stop it, fix it or enforce justice. It is shocking and disgusting that the Government acts as the "Head Hunter"! Of course their excuse is to "Save the vulnerable children" ! How is it then acceptable to place any child on the sex offender registry, as I believe 38 states now list their children. And in knowing this ruins and punishes young people for the rest of their lives! This law protects, NO ONE! If YOU smacked your own child in the face, YOU are a child abuser and this government would not care why, you did what YOU did. You would be prosecuted, punished and the human services would take your child away and your child would be PROTECTED from YOU? This government entity sits and watches the LOSER (Lifetime On Sex Offender Registry) struggle and suffer and they say and do NOTHING! This is Acceptable abuse, it's their law! I honestly, don't get it? How is it that if ANYONE in this country would devise a "HIT LIST" subjecting "anyone" to harm, they would be held responsible, accountable and prosecuted under law. But, when a registered sex offenders is murdered, commits suicide or suffers from vigilante attacks by dangerous people or this government, because of they are listed on the sex offender "HIT LIST" devised by those in POWER, it's acceptable, why not, Hitler did it, right? As my government plays vigilante, I advocate for and in Honor of Justin Fawcett: http://www.geocities.com/citizens_secondchances/justins-corner.html , Dale Wayne Ellis: at 14 became SO, bludgeoned to death at 20, Byran Texas, William Elliott 24, A boy in love at 19, Maine: http://cfcamerica.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=450:s... , Wendy Witaker : being forced from her home for consensual sex 9 years ago at 17 : http://www.economist.com/displaystory.cfm?story_id=14164614, Brandon doing 60 years in a TEXAS' prison for his youthful indiscretion and all the THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of our "FREE" American citizens marked, TARGETED for harmful vigilante tactics and destruction!
I DO NOT trust this government's practices of what they like to call law or opinion of who is dangerous or not! A kid touching a breast is now a predator, youths having a loving relationship are now heinous criminals, sexting teens are child pornographers, as far as the these law makers are concerned! What's even more unbelievable is that many people in our society are rooting for these laws! They can't be paying attention or are unaware of the real facts, statistic or true understanding of our constitution and abuse of government? As billions of dollars are wasted on mythical and misguided policy's? This entire Government, the dept. of justice, corrections, public safety, legislators, all reap from our taxes, with grand benefits and pension plans. They certainly would want to change and fix this mess? John Walsh, with all the multi million dollar grants to hunt down our children for life, he certainly wouldn't want change! Who is really preying on who? Who is exploiting the children? Who is going to stand up, little old ME?
Being an American citizen and having a first hand perspective of a child's entire life being destroyed for nothing! I am his biggest advocate! I advocate for All THESE children! And, In watching politician gain favoritism and wealth on the backs of these vulnerable children, all across our Nation, is my biggest "pet peeve." Their leadership is pathetic and their laws are sadistic and barbaric!

I came to US as Jewish Refugee on Human rights violations
in former USSR.
I had my rights violated again in Minnesota.
I was convicted for porn possession in 2003, misdemeanor
conviction and placed on sex offender register in Minnesota. Since
2003 as you may understand I can not find job, only short terms
Here you can find comparission of my situation as jew pariah in USSR
and predator pariah in US
Everybody is talking about sex offenders
as about group of people who is not deserve second chance. According
Department of Justice this group have very low level of recidivism.
Most of so named former sex offenders are at very low level, like
streakers, public urination, internet users like myself or convicted for
consensual teen sex. There are a very few real predators.
I think government created group of predators pariahs among criminal
pariahs, striped them any human rights like jobs and housing,
demonized them as dangerous predators. This is very bad thing to do,
almost like Nazi did in Germany.
There are 20,000 registered sex offenders in Minnesota.
I am member of RSOL ( reform sex offender law )
Each year Minnesota congress is trying to pass new laws restricting
former sex offenders. This year I testified against these laws. There
are huge hysteria around human sexuality in US now. Nobody even try to
stop this and solve sex crimes problem in another way, not like
demonization, joblessness and homelessness.
Somebody should lobby congress on behalf sex offenders, but nobody is
there. I am not getting any support.
Next year Minnesota congress must pass Adam Walsh act. This is very
draconian law intended to make life for former sex offenders
impossible. This is very dangerous for public safety. I may try stop
this law but I am not getting any support.
Could you answer me what do you think about all these huge problems
for all people in US
I will try to call you.
This article is yet another example of the strange dichotomy that seems to exist in the United states.
There is the United States that has led much of the world's progress in the growth of science, technology, democratic ideals, and economics in the last century.
This country somehow seems to exist in the same time and space as as a backwards, almost de facto theocracy. Laws that place teenagers who have underage sex or make silly mistakes (i.e. sexting) on a similar footing to pedophiles make no sense. They are repressive, and driven by fear-mongering and religious beliefs. I'm sure these laws would gain the approval of Iran's Mullahs.

The Literature
See website for details.
What They Say
Sales and marketing director Kevin Melton said: "Prestige Plus represents a significant addition to our range of international healthcare plans. The enhanced benefits reflect the feedback we've received form intermediaries and recognise the need for a plan that sits at the top of our product range for clients who want more from their medical insurer."
What We Say
Andy Couchman
"What Prestige Plus offers is the opportunity to have the highest level of cover, and will therefore appeal to those who want the best or most comprehensive cover. With global pressures on salaries and bonuses, choosing this level of cover could also appeal to those for whom higher salary is not an option.
"The plan certainly provides very extensive cover, but it is also simple, with relatively few options. The range of what might be termed support services is also very good, providing practical help to people who are not only busy but usually operating a long way from home. The website is good too."
"We are - whatever some might say - a nation with an 'insurance mentality'. So why aren't people buying?" Peter Le Beau

For example, a JVC Bluetooth adapter will only work with JVC units. A Pioneer iPod adapter will only work with Pioneer head units.

I just purchased this item though Sonic Electronix and I am using this with a Dell DJ Pocket 5 gig player, and the sound quality is cd quality ! If you have a pioneer headunit and a MP3 player this is a MUST HAVE ! plus its pretty cheap and WAY more reliable than a FM transmitter.

I bought a used car that happen to have an awesome aftermarket Pioneer stereo. But it didn't have an AUX input. I was considering getting a new deck of similar sound quality, until I found this little doohickey. Saved me at least a hundred bucks!
The deck must be pulled out to install the adapter. Most applications would require a female 3.5 jack to male RCA adapter. Some might find that devices plugged in through this adapter will not be as loud. It would have been awesome if it's amplified.

This is something you need when you want to hook up your Dvd player to your pioneer in-dash unit. But it's not cool to pull out the in-dash unit to plug CD changer back up. The IP-Bus is limited. :-(

I have hooked this up in the back of my pioneer deck. Works really great with the deck, simple to hook up but try and install an extension for the rca wires before you put your dash back together! The orginal wire is too short to reach afterwards. Sound quality is excellent, I hooked on my palm.

This is a great accessory. I use it to listen to my ipod on the road. It does not charge it though. I have plenty of docking stations and adapters for that. I use an older pioneer premier deck that works great but does not have ipod controls so this is perfect!!!!

I bought this adapter instead of the name brand bulky Pioneer Aux for 50 bucks and it has not let me down. I plugged my Laptop, cell, phone, and Mp3 to my car stereo and it plays like CD quality. I recomemd this product for any one with a Pioneer in dash - cd player that did not come with a AUX port.

I bought this to hook up a 10 disc sony FM cd changer that came with the car i bought. I have a Pioneer 8400mp, so I unplugged the RCAs that went into the FM transmitter (had really crappy sound) instead into this AUX input, then into the deck. Works like a charm. Clean, clean sound. It works with FM transmitting changers out there folks.

I hooked this up on my bluetooth module on my DEH-P5800MP and its worth every penny. Installation is 1 second and the sound quality is exactly the same as a cd (from my laptop). If you don't have an AUX input, this is a must!

this product does its job and is much more less bulky than the actuall pioneer one.
The rca connections arent tight when you plug in a rca-to-headphone cable but i just wrapped the connection with electrical tape and its all fine, just a small detail.

You are not missing anything. The moment you realize, "I am not missing anything," all your problems will disappear. It is up to you. There are only two alternatives: either to get it right now and become blissful, or to postpone and remain miserable. My preference is, get it right now.
And what I have said for you about witnessing is nothing but a simple art of seeing. You are breathing, you are seeing, your heart is beating, you are surrounded by a beautiful universe. What more do you want? And are you certain that even if something more is added, you will not want more again?
The realization is instantaneous. It is not from point A to point B. It need not go anywhere - to Mecca or to Moscow or to Kashi or to Lhasa. Wherever you are, just enjoy the moment. I cannot conceive a better situation than this.
The trees must be laughing at you. Do you think the crows are doing it for some purpose? Just clearing their throats - early morning clearings. Do you think anybody is saying to the flowers to open and release their fragrance? No, it is all intrinsic. Only man has forgotten the language of being intrinsic. And the language of being intrinsic is the language of religion. Any moment decide, "This is enough" - and become enlightened.
It is not a question of becoming enlightened after arduous disciplines. It is a question only of deciding: "From this moment I am going to enjoy totally and fully whatever is available." And witnessing will follow on its own accord.
And finally Krishna Prabhu is asking, "Would you say something about this and maybe a prayer for me?" Prayer to whom? There is nobody to listen. The universe does not understand human language, but it understands love, it understands laughter, it understands peace, it understands silence - not the words, but the experiences.
So I cannot pray for you because there is no God who is going to answer your prayer. But I can make a device in which a prayerfulness happens, not only to me but to you too.
Paddy is a drunkard and yet Maureen has never tasted alcohol in her whole life.
"Hey, you drunk," she says one day, "give me that bottle. I want to taste whatever it is that has made you the bum you are."
Taking the bottle of cheap whiskey, she takes a good gulp from it. "Yuk," she gasps, "that's the most vile-tasting liquid that has ever passed my lips. It tastes terrible."
"You see," says Paddy, "and all these years you thought I was having a good time."
Different things make different people feel insecure. For instance, to make a German feel insecure, tell him a joke.
To make an Italian feel insecure, agree with him.
To make an Australian feel insecure, talk to his girlfriend in German.
To make a Polack feel insecure, invite him home to play with the dog.

Germany's IQWiG Confirms That ThromboGenics' JETREA® Demonstrates Major Added Value For The Treatment Of Vitreomacular Traction And Macular Hole
LEUVEN, Belgium, August 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
ThromboGenics NV (Euronext Brussels: THR) a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing innovative ophthalmic medicines, announces today that the German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) has confirmed that JETREA ® (ocriplasmin) demonstrates major / significant added value in VMT patients with mild / moderately severe symptoms compared with existing comparative treatment, when treating vitreomacular traction (VMT) including when associated with a macular hole of less than or equal to 400 microns.
JETREA ® is the first pharmacological treatment indicated for use in patients diagnosed with VMT and macular hole of diameter less than or equal to 400 microns. It was approved for this indication in the European Union in March 2013. Partner Alcon launched the drug in Germany at the beginning of May.
There are no other pharmacological treatments in development for VMT. Currently patients either have to watch and wait before they are considered eligible for surgery. Surgery is typically performed only at a later stage of a patient's disease, once symptoms progress and their sight deteriorates significantly.
IQWiG is an independent federal organization that evaluates a drug's quality and efficiency, which makes a recommendation to the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA). G-BA is expected to issue final guidance on JETREA ® in mid-October 2013. IQWiG recognizes that the data submitted by ThromboGenics in the course of the value assessment provides an indication ( Hinweis) for a major added value for VMT patients with mild symptoms and a significant added value for patients with moderately severe symptoms. Since the introduction of the Early Benefit Assessment in Germany in January 2011, this is the very first time that IQWiG confirms an indication for a major added value ( Hinweis auf einen erheblichen Zusatznutzen) for an innovative new drug substance. Dr Patrik De Haes, CEO of ThromboGenics, said: " IQWiG ' s assessment confirming the significant additional benefits of JETREA ® for VMT validates the importance of our novel drug in treating patients with this major sight-threatening disease. For the first time, patients can be treated at an earlier stage of their disease, rather than having to watch and wait until their symptoms worsen. We, and our partner Alcon, look forward to working with G-BA to ensure that the positive benefits shown by JETREA ® are reflected in its final guidance. " Earlier this year, JETREA ® was classified as a breakthrough innovation, the highest rating in the so-called 'Fricke and Klaus' assessment 1. This assessment evaluates how innovative the mechanism of action of a new medicine is compared to existing therapies available in Germany. JETREA ® contains the active substance ocriplasmin. It is administered through a single intravitreal injection to treat adults with vitreomacular traction (VMT). VMT is a progressive, sight-threatening condition. It is caused by the vitreous humour having an abnormally strong attachment to the macula, the central part of the retina (the light sensitive membrane at the back of the eye). The macula provides central vision that is needed for everyday tasks such as driving, reading and recognizing faces.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

White Sox 9, Indians 0
Dan Johnson doesn't save himself for the season's final game. It just looks that way.
Johnson hit his first three homers of the year and his teammates hit two more as the Chicago White Sox routed the Cleveland Indians 9-0 on Wednesday night.
''There's not much of a greater feeling for me than watching a ball going over the fence as you jog to first,'' said Johnson, who hit 28 homers in the minors this year before the White Sox purchased his contract on Sept. 1.
Gavin Floyd (12-11) gave up three hits over seven innings. He struck out six, one short of getting 145 strikeouts for the fifth straight season despite being on the disabled list twice.
Johnson twice connected for two-run homers off David Huff (3-1). His 424-foot shot in the second inning was his first in more than a year. His second made it 7-0 in the fifth, two batters after Paul Konerko hit his 26th.
It was Johnson's fifth career multihomer game and first time he hit three. He's the first player to hit three in a game against Cleveland since Konerko in July 2009.
Dayan Viciedo hit his 25th homer, third in three nights and sixth against Cleveland in the ninth, followed by Johnson's third.
Johnson had not hit a homer since his dramatic pinch-hit shot for Tampa Bay saved the Rays' 2011 season on the final night. His two-out, two-strike solo drive in the ninth inning tied the score at 7. The Rays had trailed 7-0 and beat the New York Yankees 8-7 in 12 innings to make the playoffs.
''When I hit my first one tonight, somebody said, `What is it about game 162 and you?''' Johnson said. ''To be honest, I wasn't thinking about that.
''When I went up in the ninth, A.J. (Pierzynski) told me that Longo (Tampa Bay's Evan Longoria) hit three tonight. I was not going to let him show me up.''
Johnson hopes he can build on his performance next year, whether it is with the White Sox or another organization.
''I always say, `Play every at-bat like it is your last,' '' Johnson said. ''I went out and gave it my best. I try to do that every day.''
The Indians finished at 68-94, their third season of 90-plus losses in four years, though the young team played hard in the final week and went 3-3 for interim manager Sandy Alomar Jr.
''I gained a ton of experience in six days,'' said Alomar, who will interview for the fulltime job on Thursday. ''I'm kind of glad I got the opportunity to manage the team. This was a wonderful experience for myself.''
Terry Francona, who guided Boston to World Series titles in 2004 and 2007, will make his pitch to the club Friday He's seeking to return to managing after being dismissed a year ago when the Red Sox folded and were edged out by Tampa Bay.
''I can't match Terry's resume and only control what I can do,'' Alomar said before the game. ''I am confident I can do the job.''
Chicago went 4-11 down the stretch to place second to Detroit after leading the AL Central by three games on Sept. 18. Robin Ventura's 85 wins are the most for a first-year White Sox manager since Gene Lamont won 86 in 1992. Lamont is the Tigers' third-base coach.
Before the game, general manager Kenny Williams addressed the discouraging end to an otherwise good season.
''We didn't win enough games, so we're going home,'' Williams said. ''I can't say enough about these guys for their effort. I can be only so disappointed for not closing this thing out. All we had to do was take care of business on our last road trip. We'd be getting prepared for the playoffs.
''You have to play your whole schedule. No excuses and none needed. They literally gave everything they could.''
Floyd allowed only a two-out single by Lonnie Chisenhall in the first until Jason Kipnis lined a one-out single in the sixth. The right-hander is 4-1 the past two years and 8-4 in his career against Cleveland.
Hector Gimenez bounced a two-out RBI single up the middle to make it 3-0 in the fifth.
Huff gave up nine hits over 4 2-3 innings. Only three runs charged to him were earned. A throwing error by third baseman Chisenhall made Chicago's entire four-run fifth unearned.
NOTES: Konerko is due to have left wrist surgery Thursday. ... Cleveland RF Shin-Soo Choo extended his career-best hitting streak to 13 games with an eighth-inning single. ... Chicago 1B Adam Dunn did not play, finishing with 222 strikeouts, one shy of the major-league record set by Mark Reynolds with Arizona in 2009. ... The Indians' 110 stolen bases are their most since taking 113 in 2000. ... Cleveland scored 667 runs in 2012, down 37 from 2011. ... DH Travis Hafner went 1 for 4 and got a standing ovation in his final at-bat of what could have been his last game for Cleveland. The Indians likely will pay the oft-injured 35-year-old a $2.7 million buyout instead of picking up his $13 million option for 2013. ... Cleveland's total home attendance of 1,603,596 was its second-lowest since 1992, not quite 213,000 ahead of 2010.

From the moment that he started making his infamous menacing phone call in 2008's Taken, Liam Neeson has become an action hero for the over-50 set. But with two Taken films under his belt and one more on the way, how could the thrill of Neeson shouting into phones and vowing revenge be re-invented? Well, according to the team behind his latest film, Non-Stop, the solution is to combine Taken with Speed and set the whole thing on a plane. Someone should send Samuel L. Jackson a check.
Non-Stop follows Neeson as Bill Marks (which is eerily similar to his Taken character, Bryan Mills), a U.S. Air Marshal who begins recieving threatening text messages while on an international flight. The mysterious texter threatens to kill one passenger every 20 minutes unless someone pays $150 million to a private account. Nobody takes Bill seriously until, in true action thriller style, passengers start dying, the plane starts crashing and someone frames Bill for the whole thing. The film also stars Julianne Moore, Downton Abbey's Michelle Dockery, and House of Cards' Corey Stoll.
Based on the trailer, Non-Stop promises to check off every box in the action-movie checklist: fistfights, gunfights, suspense, seemingly insurmountable odds, an unseen, diabolical villain, an attempt to frame the hero, and a literal ticking time bomb. Sure, it's not breaking any ground, but luckily the film doesn't appear to be taking itself too seriously... after all, it's trying to make text messages seem terrifying. Neeson is bringing back his trademark don't-mess-with-me growl, which frankly loses something when it's not being directed at a faceless villain on the other end of the phone. But, it's almost comforting to know that no matter how absurd the hostage situation feels, Neeson is always there to shoot things and rescue people.

PADDLES splash through oily water and propel dugouts along narrow channels separating wooden shacks on stilts far out in the shallow lagoon on which much of Lagos, Nigeria's business hub, was built. A quarter of a million people live in Makoko, learn to swim before they have walked on land, go to school, buy goods from traders drifting down the main channels, build fishing boats and go to sea. A few narrow bridges connect elevated platforms anchored, like everything else, six feet below the waterline. They say the only thing you won't find in Makoko is a grave.
Or the government. For more than 120 years the fishing community has been left largely to its own devices. But that changed last month when a hundred officials with chainsaws razed dozens of shacks. Lacking property deeds, residents were given only 72 hours notice to go. One died in a clash with police. Steve Adji, an indignant community chief, says, "The government speaks of shanties but these are homes."
The entire district may soon be gone. The government is eager to reclaim what has become prime waterfront land. It is only half-fair to depict it as heartless and greedy. Built on a swamp, Lagos is fighting for survival. Ceaseless migration is strangling it. City fathers foresee the doubling of the population to 40m within a few decades, which would make it the most populous city in the world. Lagos's economy is growing so fast that it is bigger than, for instance, the whole of Kenya's.
Lagos has long been a byword for urban chaos. Traffic is legendarily bad, crime is a perennial sore and public services reach few. Re-elected last year, the city government is striving to change all this. It has commissioned a rail network, tried to control unruly motorbike taxis and invested in roads. The clearing of slums is part of its effort to unclog the city and spur the economy. But all too often it is the poor who pay the price.
