By: Denise Goolsby, The Desert Sun
The Eisenhower Medical Center physician had served as senior medical officer at headquarters for the International Security Assistance Force (a NATO base) in Kabul.
As base doctor, Steele — a family physician trained in sports medicine — primarily treated colds, flu, respiratory problems common from the poor air quality, as well as general injuries.
Sports medicine-type injuries — contusions, sprains and broken bones, mostly from weight lifting, volleyball and basketball — also were plentiful.
"There was a lot of gastrointestinal illness because of the food and the food preparers," he told The Desert Sun.
The base, located in the Green Zone near Afghan President Hamid Karzai's palace and the American Embassy, was about a half a square mile in size.
Steele's potential patients included 36 generals, 125 colonels, doctors, liaisons to the minister of health, and liaisons to the hospital system. That included U.S. Marine Corps Gen. Joseph F. Dunford, Commander, ISAF and United States Forces-Afghanistan.
"I didn't deal with trauma unless it happened on the base," Steele said. "You never know if your clinic will be destroyed in an attack, so we had alternate treatment sites created, like the gym and main recreation facility, and we created ten different lockers around the base with first aid, tourniquets, bandages, airways, stretchers."
While the base never took a direct hit while Steele was there — his tour ran from July through November — the threat always existed.
The always-on-heightened-alert-mode took a toll on the personnel, and Steele said they prescribed sleep and anxiety medicines to patients "all the way to the top, top management."
"When the night came on, it was a little eerie walking around ... I wasn't hungry, I wasn't eating well — the food was bad anyway, so that was OK — I ate my dried chicken or vegetable and salad and then I couldn't fall asleep," Steele said.
"As soon as I got home, I'm hungry, I'm sleeping like a baby. Over there, I'd read and read and read and wait and wait. That was how I manifested stress."
Steele shared his expertise with his Afghan counterparts, including the Afghan National Army and Afghan National Police.
"The Afghan doctors are fairly well trained," Steele added. "They can go on Google and search and know exactly what I know. They want to be good. They just don't have the infrastructure and the money."
A day in the life Steele would meet each morning with a base support group, including the base commander, to discuss security concerns or incidents that occurred around Kabul during the night.
He'd see patients until noon, have lunch, then see patients until 4 p.m. Afterward, Steele would workout, read or hang out and have "espresso with my Italian major buddy," he said laughing.
Friday nights were marked by what Steele called "a special meal" of steak and lobster, although U.S. military personnel were not allowed to drink alcohol.
Steele described moving on-and-off the base as a nerve-wracking experience. Because of the necessary checks for improvised explosive devices, a 10-mile drive could take 10 minutes or it could take almost an hour.
"If I had to go to the hospital for a meeting, I was the package that the convoy would be delivering," he said. "I would meet the convoy — there would be three, up-armored vans — they'd all be young Army guys trained in the convoy ops and they would give me a brief before they left, 'OK, put your helmet on, load your rifle ... sir, if you see anything suspicious, call it out,' and the minute we got out of the base, everything looked suspicious. "There's bicycles trying to cut through, people cutting across the street ... There are no rules on the road. Everything looked suspicious. I just shut up."
A doctor of osteopathic medicine, Steele is part of Eisenhower's Primary Care 365 group and works out of the Argyros Health Center in La Quinta.
Steele credited Eisenhower and his family for providing the support he needed during what was his longest absence from his home.
The family used the iPhone's Facetime feature to communicate, where wife Lynanne "would recap the trials and tribulations of home life."
"I always dreamt about taking my daughter to college and I missed that," he said of daughter Elle, now a freshman at Indiana University.
His son, Alec is a junior at La Quinta High School.
Steele went into the U.S. Navy after graduating from medical school in 1986, and served as a flight surgeon, taking care of pilots and air crews, until 1990.
"I really enjoyed my time — I got out because it wasn't part of my life plan — but it was so much fun I stayed in the reserves."
He was activated in 2003, at the start of the Iraq War, and assigned to Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton.
"They took all the active duty doctors and sent them to Iraq and back-filled with reservists," he said.
Steele, 55, said he'll retire from the reserves when he turns 59, but for now, he's enjoying his time in uniform.
"It was a really neat, multicultural experience with all of these countries and the people. This mission was really neat. It's the NATO mission to try to help Afghanistan become an independent country and a successful national government."

For Immediate Release: February 11, 2013
The public is invited to attend a community meeting to discuss the new park property at 5325 Polk Ave. The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, February 19 at 7 p.m. and will be held at the William Ramsay Recreation Center, 5650 Sanger Ave. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss future community use and potential improvements to the property. Based on community input, City staff will draft a plan for the future use and improvements to the new park. The draft plan will then be reviewed and discussed at a public hearing with the Park and Recreation Commission this spring. The property was purchased in December 2012 when City Council authorized City Manager Rashad M. Young to contract for the acquisition for $1.9 million. The City's purchase of this 2.34 acre property used the $1.5 million provided by the Department of Defense to mitigate loss of open space in the West End, as well as $0.4 million in City Open Space funds. The Beauregard Rezoning Advisory Group recommended the acquisition of this site in October 2012 after reviewing 8 sites in the City's West End which had been nominated by City residents. Persons unable to attend the meeting can send written comments to the Department of Recreation, Parks and Cultural Activities, Attention: Laura Durham, 1108 Jefferson St., Alexandria, VA 22314, or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. The City of Alexandria is committed to compliance with the City's Human Rights Code and the Americans with Disabilities Act. To request a reasonable accommodation or to request materials in an alternative format, please call Laura Durham, Open Space Coordinator, at 703.746.5493, or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Mayflower II has returned to Plymouth, MA for the 2015 season! Visit today!
Visiting the ship Mayflower II is an extraordinary experience. The original Mayflower that sailed to Plymouth in 1620 no longer exists. Plimoth Plantation's full-scale reproduction, Mayflower II, was built in Devon, England and crossed the Atlantic in 1957. The details of the ship, from the solid oak timbers and tarred hemp rigging to the wood and horn lanterns and hand-colored maps, have been carefully re-created to give you a sense of what the original 17th-century vessel was like. Come aboard and learn about the 1620 voyage of Mayflower, the perils of maritime travel, and the tools of 17th-century navigation. Explore the cramped quarters of the ship's passengers. Peer down into the lower level "hold," where the food, clothing, furniture, tools and other items necessary to start a colony were stored. Admire the "spacious" Master's cabin, and compare it to the wet and windy accommodations of the common sailors. You will also hear the tale of a modern Englishman's dream to build and sail Mayflower II as a symbol of American and British unity after World War II.
Like most people, I was immediately struck by how small the ship seemed - particularly in the 'tween decks, where the passengers were confined. How could 102 people, including three pregnant mothers, have survived more than ten weeks in a space this size?
Nathaniel Philbrick,
"At Sea with the Pilgrims: Writing About the Voyage of the Mayflower"
Plimoth Life, 2007
"Being thus arrived in a good harbor and brought safe to land, [we] fell upon [our] knees and blessed the God of Heaven who had brought [us] over the vast and furious ocean."
- William Bradford
Mayflower II has many stories to tell and many people to tell them. You will meet staff in modern-day clothing who speak from a present-day perspective. They can talk with you about the original Mayflower as well as the reproduction vessel Mayflower II. Alongside are reproductions of a 17th-century shallop and a ship's boat. You may recognize this ship's boat from the Emmy-nominated PBS series Colonial House or the film, The New World.
On board, you may also meet role players in period costume who will share their personal accounts of shipboard life, as they play the part of sailors or Mayflower passengers. For more information about your visit to Mayflower II, please see our Frequently Asked Questions.
Step aboard, breathe in the sea air and experience the many fascinating stories of two historic Mayflowers!

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

It's the 660s http://www.dell.com/...nspiron-660s/pd and it says 220W So there are no cards that work with the existing PSU? I don't want to upgrade anything, just want a video card even if it's basic.
Kee-ripes; I've not only never BUILT a PC with a PSU that weak, I've never seen an OEM PC with a PSU that weak since the days of the Pentium (pre numerics).
And by never, I mean exactly that - even back in my Pentium days, I used a 300W PSU; yes, they existed then, and weren't pricey in the least.
OEM PCs that passed through me at some point (and that includes quite a few Dell and HP OEM models) typically had 250W PSUs, while some (mostly Pavilion Media Center or the odd Optiplex) had the 300W PSUs.
Is this a slimline (Inspiron) case design? Then you may need a PSU designed for such cases, such as PC Power and Cooling's Silencer Slimline (no longer made). If the case can swallow a standard PSU, I'd go with something similar (Silencer Mk. III 500W or equivalent from Corsair, Antec, or other quality manufacturer).

UFC veteran Mike Swick making the move back to middleweight - Bloody Elbow
n 2008 Mike Swick dropped to welterweight, he was having trouble keeping his weight up, and despite a largely successful middleweight campaign (going 5-1) in the UFC he felt that his future was best served at a lighter weight class. Unfortunately, and unbeknownst to him, he was struggling with a medical condition, an esophageal spasm, that was at the source of his weight problems.
A once promising career was trending toward diminishing returns with back to back losses to Dan Hardy and Paulo Thiago and the burden of being unable to maintain a proper diet was wearing on his body. Eventually this would culminate in a 1 1/2 year absence from the sport. That time off allowed him to deal with his medical issues thoroughly, and he returned to UFC on Fox: Shogun vs. Vera an apparently rejuvenated fighter.
However, the renaissance was short lived, and following a disappointing knockout loss to Matt Brown in December Swick has decided to return to the division that gave him his initial fighting success. He made the official announcement via twitter last week.

CHIPLEY — County Human Resources Director Heather Finch was fired on Tuesday, according to County Manager Steve Joyner.
"It was an unfortunate situation," Joyner said on Thursday. He would not state the reason for the firing. Joyner suggested the media request the information under the state Sunshine Law.
"I was shocked to be terminated without any notice, and for nor legitimate reason, as Director of Human Resources for Washington County, a position I have held with pride and honor during the last six years under four different county administrators," Finch said. "This action blindsided me, and could not occur at a more difficult time. I am seven and a half months pregnant and my husband is fighting Stage 4 Cancer."
Finch said the firing was in retaliation for her complaining about corruption and harassment in the county government.
"In spite of working in a hostile environment where the members of leadership abuse power daily, I served the people of Washington County with integrity and honesty, and I will continue to do everything I can to bring fairness and equal treatment for all county employees," Finch said.
The topic of Finch's termination did not come up at Thursday's Board of County Commissioners meeting, but Joyner discussed the situation following the meeting.
Joyner said the county was looking into whether or not to replace Finch, and he said that in the interim, county employees Stacy Webb and Carol Parks would be sharing the human resources director's duties.
At the Board of County Commissioners workshop on Feb. 20, County Commissioner Joel Pate presented fellow commissioners with a computer printout and said he would like the matter taken care of by the county manager. Pate said the controversy involved the county's interviewing process.
Copies of the documents provided to the commissioners were not provided to the media.
After reviewing the documents, Commission Chairman Alan Bush said that the problem seemed to have less to do with the county's interviewing process than the improper usage by county employees of social media.
Finch was never mentioned by name as being involved in the situation the commissioners were discussing, however, it was confirmed following the meeting that the human resources director was involved.
Bush said the county does not have a social media policy in place for its employees, and he asked that the commissioners let the county manager deal with the county's personnel problems.

Midwest Living Review
Maybe it's the wine talking (just one glass of a California Pinot Noir), but The Nail Bar is hands-down fabulous. The space is on the small side, but smartly decorated with a pleasant blend of old (weathered yellow brick and exposed duct work) and new (glass tile accents and modern furniture). A row of large, west-facing windows provides natural light and opportunities for people-watching along Broadway's north end. Located on the main floor of the historic Ford building, the salon's drying station for freshly polished toes and fingers is cleverly disguised as a bar. A selection of beer ($4 per bottle) and wine ($7 per glass), as well as snacks and homemade sweets, is available. With just three pedicure tubs and four nail stations, The Nail Bar clearly seeks to set itself apart by emphasizing quality over quantity. Expect to spend one delightful hour per service. Appropriately, the names of individual services pay homage to various cocktails and alcoholic beverages. Manicures like the Don't "Wine," which includes an aromatherapy neck wrap and paraffin dip, and the Mango Margarita, which includes an exfoliating treatment and massage lotion infused with a mango and citrus blend, start at $28. Hand and forearm massage included. For the feet, choose from the Mint Julep, Papaya Cosmo-my-toes, Mudslide, Espresso-tini and other tasty pedicures, all of which start at $45. Unfortunately for clients, The Nail Bar isn't paying enough attention to the sounds surrounding the otherwise impeccable experience. The telephone ringer is jarring and loud. And the salon's background music isn't nearly as soothing as the forearm massage. Offering clients a selection of music at an appointments start would be a nice touch. The Nail Bar is open until at least 6 p.m. weekdays and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. After-hours appointments and private events are encouraged.

Does anybody know or have any good backdrops in which to place figures of all types in front of? I have tried Google to no avail, and several toy custom sites (that i know of) but not a lot. You know, mad scientist lab, graveyard, sci-fi computers, etc.
Any and all help is appreciated.
I just want something to put a figure in front of for pix that would really enhance the toy, ya know.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 8 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mbalmr A great fit! I purchased this item as a gift for my boyfriend before heading on a big family vacation. I chose to have it monogrammed to make it more of a special gift for a man who has everything. He loved it and we in turn bought more for myself and our children...it was very handy while traveling through customs, the airport, etc. It is compact but holds just enough of the important things, like photo id, credit cards and insurance cards. It was perfect! July 15, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Vera Good to look at but does not meet the need I have enjoyed many Coach products -but not this one. I ordered a passport wallet via phone as the colour I wanted (Mahogany) was not readily available at my nearest store. While the wallet is wonderful to look at and does indeed accommodate a passport, it will hold very little else. While travelling in the UK, I will be forced to carry a second wallet to safely carry British pounds. I am a great fan of Coach, but this was not one of my wisest purchases. For those Coach fans who travel outside of the US and Europe, think carefully before going with Coach on this one. Fossil would have been a wiser choice this time. July 8, 2014

Art History
The art history curriculum at Sarah Lawrence College covers a broad territory historically, culturally, and methodologically. Students interested in art theory, social art history, or material culture have considerable flexibility in designing a program of study and in choosing conference projects that link artistic, literary, historical, social, philosophical, and other interests. Courses often include field trips to major museums, auction houses, and art galleries in New York City and the broader regional area, as well as to relevant screenings, performances, and architectural sites. Many students have extended their classroom work in art history through internships at museums and galleries, at nonprofit arts organizations, or with studio artists; through their own studio projects; or through advanced-level senior thesis work. Sarah Lawrence students have gone on to graduate programs in art history at Columbia, Johns Hopkins, Northwestern, Bard, Williams, Yale, University of Chicago, Oxford University, and University of London, among others. Many of their classmates have pursued museum and curatorial work at organizations such as the Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Art Institute of Chicago; others have entered the art business by working at auction houses such as Sotheby's or by starting their own galleries; and still others have entered such professions as nonprofit arts management and advocacy, media production, and publishing.

A new report from the Stockholm International Water Institute suggests that the world's limited supply of freshwater cannot sustain the world's ever-increasing consumption of meat, particularly if every other country continues to mimic the modern American diet, in which we get 65 percent of our protein from animal products. In order to quench such a meat-heavy appetite, farmers would use up nearly all the world's freshwater resources in the next 40 years.
Why? It takes a ridiculous amount of water to grow the grain that feeds the pigs, chickens, and cows that we eat every day, says Robert S. Lawrence, M.D., director of Johns Hopkins University's Center for a Livable Future, which researches the human and environmental problems associated with modern agriculture. It takes 110 gallons of water to grow a pound of corn, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, and it takes as much as 11 pounds of grain to raise a pound of beef. When you factor in the water that cattle need to drink, the amount can skyrocket to 4,000 to 18,000 gallons of water per pound of beef.
Then consider the sheer numbers of animals we eat, Dr. Lawrence says. "Right now, we're raising 50 billion animals a year for human consumption on this planet. In the U.S. alone we consume 8 billion." When you think that 1 million chickens are slaughtered every hour, he adds, you start to see where things are getting out of control.
The Stockholm researchers say that we'd all need to reduce our meat consumption to no more than 5 percent of total calories in order to sustain water resources. Cutting meat consumption by 60 percent may sound extreme, but even cutting back by 15 percent—about one vegetarian day per week—can do wonders for your health and for the rest of the world.
Keep reading for a few of those benefits to convince you it's worth it:
One of the most compelling reasons to go vegetarian at least one day a week is you. Meat-heavy diets have been tied to a host of health complications, ranging from blindness to lung disease to stroke. One of the most comprehensive studies to date, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, tracked more than 37,000 adults and found that simply eating one vegetarian meal per day could lower the risk of dying from cancer or heart disease by as much as 20 percent.
As the Stockholm International Water Institute points out, it's not always the animals but what they eat that causes major global crises. And when it comes to animal feed, pesticide- and fertilizer-heavy corn reigns supreme, making up 90 percent of what pigs, chickens, and cows eat. Growing that corn requires heavy doses of nitrogen-based fertilizers, which farmers often overuse. The excess gets washed into the Mississippi River and then dumped into the Gulf of Mexico, creating large algae blooms that kill animals. Public health officials often need to close beaches when nitrogen pollution is high—and that's a real buzz kill for any vacationer.
One really unpleasant side effect of eating too much meat? Urinary tract infections (UTIs). A study from McGill University in Montreal found that grocery-store chicken is often contaminated with a form of E. coli bacteria known to cause UTIs, and what's worse is that the bacteria is resistant to many of the antibiotics used to treat the condition. The bacteria can live on in your gut and cause problems as much as 6 months after eating the contaminated meat. That doesn't happen when you eat kale!
If you think 79-cent-per-pound chicken is a good deal, consider this. Last year, reporters from The New York Times conducted their own test to see how cheaply a family of four could eat. They paid $28 for dinner for four at McDonald's, but were able to pay $14 for a dinner of chicken, potatoes, and a salad and just $9 for a mostly vegetarian dinner of pinto beans, rice, bacon, and various seasonings. And that $9 meal also had the fewest calories of the three. In most areas, you can buy a pound of dried beans—a 1-cup serving of cooked beans contains almost as much protein as a 3-ounce serving of beef—for less than $3, and it will yield 12 servings of beans, cooked.

what is the monthly fee for this service and where do the two wires connect to?
- Asked by Charles D from El Paso
PocketFinder GPS Vehicle Locator (Powered by LBT)
Product No Longer Available
2 Answers from the Community
Best Answer:
The monthly service fee for US and Canada is $12.95. Including all of Mexico $15.95 and for complete international roaming the monthly service is $29.95. This includes unlimited zones, locates and notifications.
The red wire connects to an always on power source for your vehicle and the black wire to a ground. There is an optional third white wire that if connected to a fuse that is hot only when the ignition is on you can track idle time as well as engine on and off start and stop times. Perfect for a business daily activity report and to know if your vehicles are sitting idle for long periods of time in the summer with the air-conditioning on.
- Answered by David M from Mission Viejo
The monthly service fee is $12.95 but there is no contract. If you purchase more than one device, you should call PocketFinder customer service and see if they'll give you a family plan rate.
The wires can either connect to the vehicle battery or to the fuse box.

I posted this review elsewhere, but I'm reposting it here to kick things off.
REVIEW: Nanny Ogg's Cookbook by Terry Pratchett, Stephen Briggs, Tina Hannan, and Paul Kidby
Having read all the Discworld novels thus far, and having started off this book-reading blog with the latest one, Snuff, I didn't expect to read another Discworld book. But Christmas shopping gave me the chance to buy, and then read, an interesting spin-off book in the series. I've heard that Nanny Ogg's Cookbook has even spawned a stage play in my native Australia at the very least. So I decided, after buying it, to take the plunge...
JHC Goatberger is in trouble. His Ankh-Morpork publishing business is losing money after many books, two of them Nanny Ogg's, were withdrawn from publication due to various reasons including obscenity. But when a third manuscript of Ogg's arrives, Goatberger, discovering that it is less lewd than The Joye of Snacks, decides to publish it, despite the fact that Ogg has clearly pilfered many of her recipes and knowledge from other publications. Within the cookbook, the reader can find many recipes (including Lord Vetinari's for bread and water, Lord Downey's for arsenic flavoured sweets, and Sergeant Angua's vegetarian meal), but also Nanny Ogg's philosphies on life, death, love, and etiquette...
This book obviously contains no story, save for the overarching one of how the publishers have decided to publish Nanny Ogg's book, as well as their need to make sure that anything lewd is censored, of which there is surprisingly little, given how bawdy Ogg is. One finds it hard to review a cookbook, but the recipes have a humourous air (I remember reading, years ago, a Doctor Who Cookbook, which had humorous titles, illustrations, and which sparked off a three day infatuation with mushrooms). Lord Vetinari's recipe for bread and water has a great twist at the end, and Lord Downey's recipe for arsenic-laden sweets has the authors emphasising that no arsenic be added, for obvious reasons. We also have some insights into the characters of the series, most of them old news, but some interesting new ones (like Nobby Nobbs actually having a mother, and one that looks human, at that).
Besides the recipes, the rest of the book is given over to advice on etiquette. Despite Goatberger and his foreman Cropper's assertions, this reads more like Ogg doing the telling, albeit a toned down Ogg. We also have some intriguing new insight into Lancre and its folklore, including a very creepy scarecrow that seems to be distrubingly Weeping Angel-like, if not actually malevolent. The humour is okay, but the book, while entertaining, is not spectacular.
Even so, this is definitely something for the Discworld fan to enjoy. Interesting, humorous, and with some recipes to try, it adds a certain flavour (pun unintended) to the Discworld mythos.
First words: Memo from JHC Goatberger
Last words: 'Tir Nani Ogg', The Square, Lancre.

CRESTVIEW —Okaloosa County commissioners agreed Tuesday to delay for 90 days their vote on whether to allow a 317-foot cellphone tower in Bluewater Bay.
Read more on the cellphone tower. >>
Commissioners also voted to urge the state Department of Environmental Protection to allow the use of Fred Gannon Rocky Bayou State Park as an alternate site for the tower.
Telecommunications firm Crown Castle has proposed placing the tower on the north side of Bay Drive if it can't negotiate a lease extension with the property owners where its existing tower stands on Nelson Point Road. The company requested the 90-day delay because of a death in the family that owns the property and said it needed more time to negotiate.
Several of the dozens of Bluewater Bay homeowners who attended Tuesday's public hearing voiced opposition to the tower.
"I'm still worried about the direction we're going," said Jack Brooks, who lives on Lido Circle.
Brooks and other residents said the tower will hurt their property values and the overall appearance of the community.
Several residents said they like the idea of putting the tower in the state park.
Attorney Lauralee Westine, who represents Crown Castle, said she plans to apply to the DEP on behalf of her client, but isn't sure the application will meet the agency's strict criteria.
Commissioner Wayne Harris urged the Bluewater Bay homeowners to take their concerns to the state "to ramp up public interest."
"Send those letters and emails and cards to your state representatives," Harris said.
County officials say the existing cell tower is critical because it supports antennas for many law enforcement, fire and rescue agencies. Those antennas would be moved to the new cell tower if it is approved.

Fort Walton Beach attorney Coy Browning, a former highway patrolman, seems an unlikely supporter for legalization of a form of marijuana.
But Browning and his wife have a young daughter whose life has been compromised by almost constant seizures brought on by Dravet syndrome, a cruel form of epilepsy.
The Brownings were one of several families in Tallahassee on Thursday who argued for legalizing cannabidiol, or CBD. They believe it can greatly reduce the number of seizures their child must endure and give hope for a life approaching normalcy.
Browning told members of the state House Criminal Justice Subcommittee he's seen his child pumped so full of drugs to control her seizing that she actually stopped breathing.
"We hold our breath every day wondering when she will have another seizure, because she will. These children, they do, this is progressive, it doesn't go away," Browning said.
CBD is a compound found in marijuana with THC, which is responsible for the "high" users feel.
In Colorado where marijuana now is legal, strains of the weed rich in CBD and extremely low in THC have been grown and successfully used to treat children.
Although supporters swear the plant produces no high, it is illegal to possess in Florida.
Browning's arguments for allowing CBD treatment was bolstered by the appearance of Paige Figi of Colorado, whose daughter Charlotte has been featured in a recent news documentary about CBD.
Figi told the subcommittee, chaired by Fort Walton Beach Republican state Rep. Matt Gaetz, that her daughter's seizures were reduced by 99 percent — from 300 a week to "one or two a month" — since the family began using CBD as a treatment.
Like some of the subcommittee members, she said she was skeptical about CBD at first.
"This was the last crazy thing I tried," Figi said. "It worked in an astounding way."
Figi told the legislators she traveled from Colorado to Tallahassee without her daughter because Charlotte depends on CBD. Bringing it to Florida would have made her a drug smuggler, she said.
Browning told the subcommittee he wants to see that changed.
"This is innocuous," he said. "No one is going to get stoned here. There's no harm in trying this."
Also appearing at the hearing was a representative of the Florida Medical Association, which opposes allowing the use of CBD in Florida.
Gaetz asked the FMA representative why her group opposes CBD when it doesn't oppose the sale of similar supplements like the multi-vitamin Centrum Silver.
When the representative couldn't answer the question, Gaetz dismissed her and told her to go back to her bosses and return with answers.
Florida Department of Law Enforcement officials were brought in to test products sold over the counter in Florida for the presence of THC in amounts similar (about 0.05 percent) to those of CBD medications sold in Colorado.
Some of products yielded positive results for THC. That prompted Gaetz to question why some products containing THC are legal and others are not.
In the end, Gaetz said he intends to refer the CBD discussion to House Speaker Will Weatherford in hopes a committee bill can be approved for consideration by the Legislature.
"We're attempting to reach a consensus regarding this process," Gaetz said after the meeting.

Midwest Living Review
You get your first wow! moment at Villa Terrace the moment you step through the main entrance into the flower-filled Mercury Courtyard, watched over by a marble version of the fleet-footed messenger himself. Events are sometimes held here, including Breakfast on the Balcony on Sundays, complete with live music, or you can just relax here before or after exploring the home and gardens. This is the former home of the Lloyd R. Smith family. Inspired by Villa Cicogna in Lombardy, Italy, they hired architect David Adler to design it in 1924, calling their new home Sopra Mare (Above the Sea). Lloyd was the son of Arthur O. Smith, who started mass-production of car frames in Milwaukee at his company, A. O. Smith, in 1906. For more on the family, check out the home movies, dating from 1927-37, in the Smith Gallery. Much of the home remains as it was when the family left, although there are occasional outside art installations. On permanent display in the home is a collection of ironworks by Cyril Colnik, frequently called "the Tiffany of wrought-iron masters;" other artifacts include blue and white English porcelain donated by Mary Uihlein Cunningham, Fortuny curtains and the Decor Chinois panorama, which took 50 men to complete. The most magnificent feature, though, is best seen from the Terrace d'Luna, at the rear of the home. From here, you can admire Villa Terrace's legendary Renaissance Garden, stretching out from the house toward Lake Michigan. It's a spectacular view, a carpet of green followed by an expanse of blue, even if you decide not to venture down the steep wood steps to set foot in it yourself. But DO venture down -- you won't regret it. This verdant blast from the past was the project of landscape designer Rose Standish Nichols and features a Scaletta d'Aqua (water stairway), a crabapple orchard, a secret garden guarded by the goddess Diana, and an imposing Neptune Gate, forged by metalsmith Dan Nauman. Plantings include flowers, shrubs and a wide variety of culinary herbs. Sculptures are found throughout: Putti (babies), Hercules and more. Step inside the double row of Ragnaia (thicket), and you'll feel very, very close to Italy. Admission is $5, adults; $3, seniors, military and students. Children 12 and under get in free. Those visiting both Villa Terrace and the Charles Allis museum receive a small discount.

I love snowball quilts. Like the bird quilt, or my very 1st quilt. I've had some questions about making snowball blocks, so I just thought I'd show you how easy it is. This is a great pattern for beginners, and I love it because the big blocks show off the fabric prints and it goes together really fast. Ok here goes:
Cut one 8" square and four 2 3/4" squares.
Draw a diagonal line on each small block.
Pin the small blocks to the 8" block, right sides together, and so the diagonal lines run perpendicular to the corners.
Sew along your drawn lines.
Ok here's where you can cheat…..see that painters tape on the sewing machine? I don't draw my diagonal lines onto my squares (I did here for tutorial sake). Instead, you can put a piece of painters tape on your machine so the edge lines up directly with your sewing line, then as long as you keep both corners along that tape as you sew, you will get a perfect line without drawing. It sounds confusing but it makes sense as your doing it. Maybe. :)
Then cut off your corners leaving 1/4" allowance.
Now iron and your done! An 8" snowball block.

Wildlife Sanctuary: eight raccoons, 12 raccoon pups, 12 ducks, two badgers, one fox
The footage relative to this report depicts conditions at Ronald Beach's USDA licensed facility similar to those documented by a CAPS investigation on 4/1/05.
Raccoon cages
There were about eight cages made entirely of untreated, rusting metal wire used to hold raccoons (3.125(a)-Structural strength). Most of the wire was thin and looked as though it could easily bend. Only one cage appeared to be made of a thicker gauge metal wire. The cages measured about two feet wide, five feet long, and two feet high. Each cage contained wooden boxes about two feet wide, two feet long, and two feet high. There were no windbreaks on these boxes (3.127(b)-Shelter from inclement weather). Most of these cages housed a single adult raccoon, though it evident from the footage that raccoon pups can be not only seen in one cage but heard in another two cages.
Several cages had wooden boards on the floors, and rusting metal sheets partially covered the cage tops (3.125(a)-Structural strength). Each cage had what appeared to be more than two to three weeks of fecal accumulation in and under it (3.131(a)-Sanitation). Metal dishes appeared to have a dingy build-up on their surfaces. A CAPS investigation on 4/1/05 found food and water dishes covered in dirt and algae. The dishes held water, and no food was evident in the cages at all (3.130-Watering) (3.129(a)-Feeding).
Fox and duck enclosures
There were two enclosures in the facility, one holding a single fox and the other holding a duck and about a dozen ducklings. Each was a cylindrical cage made of thick, rusting wire with a dirty floor. The cages were about 15 feet in diameter and six feet high with a flat roof. Each cage had a one-foot-wide wooden pole extending from the floor to the roof in the middle of the cage. These appeared to be the cages that previously held bobcats (see CAPS investigation report 4/1/05). Wooden dog-houses were in each cylinder. They lacked windbreaks on their doorways (3.127(b)-Shelter from the inclement weather). Dirty water dishes and empty food dishes were on the pen floorings (3.130-Watering) (3.129(a)(b)-Feeding).
Badger cages
Two cages made of thin-gauge, rusting metal wire (3.125(a)-Structural strength) each contained a badger. Like the raccoon cages, they were about two feet wide and tall and five feet long. The wooden boxes for shelter lacked windbreaks on their entrances (3.127(b)-Shelter from inclement weather). As with the raccoon cages, there were dirty metal dishes (see CAPS investigation report 4/1/05). The dishes held water, and no food was evident (3.130-Watering) (3.129(a)-Feeding). Two to three weeks worth of fecal accumulation was underneath the cages (3.131-Cleaning of enclosures).

Pontiac Education Association urges school district to pay its health insurance provider
PONTIAC, Mich., June 25, 2013 — With a critical deadline fast approaching, the president of the Pontiac Education Association is calling on the school district to pay what it owes to its health insurance provider, so that school employees and their families can continue receiving health care.
The Michigan Education Special Services Association, the health insurance provider for Pontiac school employees, recently announced it will terminate coverage effective July 31. The Pontiac School District hasn't made a full premium payment in many months, and owes more than $11 million in premiums. MESSA has filed suit against the district to collect a portion of the owed premiums.
Pontiac Education Association President Aimee McKeever said she "completely understands" MESSA's decision to terminate coverage for the 350-plus school employees.
"MESSA has shown a great deal of patience with the Pontiac School Board," McKeever said. "However, MESSA is a business. How many businesses would continue to provide goods and services if they haven't been paid?"
"It is hardly a concession for the employer to commit to making premium payments on health care plans — it is not only a contraction obligation, but also a moral obligation," McKeever said. "Some Pontiac school employees have children with life-threatening illnesses, and they depend on their health care benefits to provide medication and treatment. It's unconscionable for the Pontiac School Board to renege on their commitment to pay premiums to the health care provider."
"It is especially outrageous that they have not been making the premium payments, since over 20 percent of those premium dollars come directly out of Pontiac school employees' paychecks," McKeever said. "The district took that portion out, but failed to consistently forward the employees' premium contributions to MESSA. Where did that money go?"

Make It Quick with Caerphilly
By Suzanne McMinn at Chickens in the Road
Caerphilly (pronounced CAR-filly) is a cute little town in Wales with a massive 13th-century castle. It's also a cute little cheese that is aged in less than 3 weeks. That's even quicker than Farmhouse Cheddar! [Insert Suzanne throwing Farmhouse Cheddar recipe out window.] Actually, Caerphilly is a farmhouse-style cheese and has some things in common with Farmhouse Cheddar, including the short aging time and the cheddar-like qualities. It is a creamy but sharp cheese that originated as a staple in coal miners' lunch pails. It wasn't made in Caerphilly, but was sold at market there, giving it its name.
Several people have suggested Caerphilly to me recently. There is Caerphilly in the air! I decided this must be my next cheese in my cheese challenge for New England Cheesemaking!
In researching Caerphilly recipes, I found the most common recipe sprinkled about the internet on cheesemaking blogs is one adapted with slight variations from Making Artisan Cheese by Tim Smith. You can read an excellent post about that recipe here on the New England Cheesemaking blog (with videos) (click here). Like most cheeses, there's more than one way to make a Caerphilly cheese, so I chose to tackle a recipe I found in 200 Easy Homemade Cheese Recipes, intrigued by this recipe's inclusion of aroma mesophilic. The recipe in this book was for four gallons of milk. You can't always just cut a cheese recipe in half, so I consulted with New England Cheesemaking and relied on their advice in adapting this recipe to the size most preferred for the average home cheesemaker who doesn't want to make a mammoth cheese. Some of the instructions in this book were also on the vague side. Again, I relied on the cheesemaking experts at NEC to steer me in the right direction (email@example.com).
If you've never tried Caerphilly, you could start with either this recipe or the Tim Smith version you can find at the NEC post (link above). If you've already tried the Tim Smith recipe, do give this one a whirl! With the addition of the aroma meso, it's a creamier, more buttery take on Caerphilly.
If using store-bought pasteurized milk, for a two gallon recipe, you may want/need to add 1/4 teaspoon calcium chloride diluted in 1/4 cup cool water to the recipe. This will help the curds to set properly. See more about milk for cheesemaking here.
How to make Caerphilly:
2 gallons whole milk (cow or goat milk)
1/4 teaspoon direct-set mesophilic starter
1/4 teaspoon flora danica*
1/2 teaspoon liquid rennet (or 1/2 rennet tablet) diluted in 1/4 cup cool, unchlorinated water
cheese salt for brine
*You can use all regular mesophilic starter instead of half and half with the flora danica, but adding a portion of this special mesophilic starter (also known as aroma mesophilic) will give you a lighter texture and more butter-like flavor.
One-quarter teaspoon is approximately half of one of the little direct-set mesophilic packets. Carefully stir up the contents of the packet before measuring out the starter to be sure you get an even distribution of the culture.
Step 1. Heat the milk to 90-degrees F, stirring gently. Turn off heat.
Step 3. Add diluted calcium chloride, if using.
Step 4. Make sure temperature is 90 degrees. Add heat briefly if necessary. Add diluted rennet, stirring gently with an up-and-down motion. Cover and let sit for 45 minutes or until the curds give a clean break.
Step 5. Cut curds into 1/2-inch cubes. Let curds sit for 5 minutes.
It's always difficult to get a photo of what "clean break" is. Here, I lifted some curds with a slotted spoon.
Step 6. Return pot to low heat and warm curds to 95-degrees, stirring gently and continuously. This should take 30 minutes. Adjust heat as necessary to make sure it takes the entire time to reach 95. Do not heat too quickly. Turn off heat; cover and let sit for 45 minutes. When you look again, you'll see the curds have been expelling the whey. The first time I ever saw curds and whey, I felt like I'd done a magic trick.
Step 8. Line a 2-pound mold with cheesecloth and fill with curds. Press at 10 pounds for 30 minutes.
If you're not sure if your cheese is pressed adequately, checking the weight is a guide.
I'm slightly obsessive about cheesecloth imprints, so I usually put my cheeses back in the press for an hour or so–without cheesecloth–at the end of the pressing time just to smooth out the wrinkles a bit.
Step 10. Make a brine using cheese salt and cold water. The standard measurements for a brine are one gallon of water to 2 pounds of cheese salt. I make a reduced quantity of brine using that same ratio. (You could either make a full size brine and re-use it for more cheeses, or make a reduced brine based on the same ratio so that you aren't using so much cheese salt. I prefer to not store brine since my fridge space is at a premium, so I take the latter approach.) Soak cheese in the brine solution for about 24 hours, turning once.
Step 12. Wax, or allow to develop a natural rind. Age at 50- to 54-degrees for 2-3 weeks.
Yield: 2 pounds.
My experience: Caerphilly is an even quicker alternative to longer-aged cheeses than Farmhouse Cheddar. I think it has more flavor than Farmhouse Cheddar, and a nicer consistency. (Moist, like a Gouda, not crumbly like Farmhouse Cheddar.) It only takes a couple of hours to go from the pot to the press, so what's not to love? Leaves were historically used to wrap many cheeses to protect cheese during aging and transport. Caerphilly was often wrapped in cabbage leaves, so that's what I did with mine.
It's a cheese pretty enough to kiss!
To help you get started making cheese, New England Cheesemaking is providing a package including (value of each item in parentheses): a hard cheese mold ($15.95), mesophilic culture ($5.95), veal rennet ($6.50), flora danica culture ($15.95), cheesecloth ($5.95), cheese salt ($2.95), and calcium chloride ($4.95). The total value of the package is $58.20. Note: This giveaway is open to U.S. residents only. (P.S. Or at least a U.S. shipping address. You can have a friend or relative send it on to you if they have a U.S. shipping address.)
For a chance to win: Leave a comment on Suzanne's post and let her know you want it. ONE winner will be drawn by random comment number to receive the package. Eligible entry cut-off is midnight Eastern (U.S.) time tomorrow night (May 16). This post will be updated with the winner by 9 a.m. Eastern (U.S.) time on Tuesday (May 17).

Found a copy of the cartoon version of Wyrd sisters. It was a pretty good story and it looks like it was very faithful.
However, I found there were several places where i needed subtitles, as the pronunciation is so very different from here. It was worst with Granny Weatherwax and Nanny, but there were many hard parts.
Death was very easy to understand, which is not true otherwise.
Anybody else have an issue with this?

Durham Interior Door Set
Colonial Revival Door Set
Item # C1955
Customize This Product
The original version of our Durham Door Set debuted around 1895 and remained popular into the 1930s. Its beaded oval motif was a common Colonial Revival design that blended simple, classic shapes with restrained and refined decoration.
A door set's ability to open smoothly, lock snugly, and keep working are details as important, if not more, than how it looks. We make them like they used to—to last—with crisply detailed forged brass backplates and doorknobs in porcelain, crystal, and solid brass.
- Solid brass
- 7 hand-applied finishes
- 10 locking and non-locking functions
The Durham is also available as an Exterior Door Set.
You'll find complementary bead patterns on our Suncrest, Bradley, and Cypress Colonial Revival light fixtures.
Choose different finishes on each side, or the same finish on both sides.
Latch sets include 3-1/2" spindle for 1-3/8" thick doors.
