Note: This case study shows how Holcim is helping achieve the CBD Aichi Stratgic Goals C and B. See more cases in WBCSD's report "Biodiversity and ecosystem services – scaling up business solutions"
The business case
In Switzerland, since the 1950s, 90% of the Dry meadows have been lost and thus are now considered an endangered habitat. Testori Quarry of Holcim Switzerland was also one of such Dry meadow areas where some rare species were on decline due to habitat loss. In response, Holcim Switzerland restores its closed and degraded Testori quarry, where this initiative also helped to get an extension for an active quarry Mormont. Testori now provides habitats for rare species and gradually the site is becoming one of the best examples in the region of the Dry meadow habitat, which is nationally important from an ecological perspective.
The issue
Founded in Switzerland in 1912, Holcim is one of the world's leading suppliers of cement and building materials. Holcim's core businesses include the manufacture and distribution of cement, and the production, processing and distribution of aggregates (crushed stone, gravel and sand), ready-mix concrete and asphalt. The company also offers consulting, research, trading, engineering and other services. With 80,000 employees worldwide, Holcim has production sites in around 70 countries and in 2011 recorded sales of over CHF20 billion. Holcim Switzerland, apart of the Holcim Group, employs approximately 1,300 employees and is a leading supplier of cement, aggregates, ready mixed concrete and lime.
The Eclépens plant of Holcim Switzerland has one active quarry, Mormont, and one closed quarry, Testori. Mormont supplies limestone, the main raw material, to the cement plant. To ensure the continued supply of limestone, the plant needed to extend its quarry permit. The Testori quarry, closed in 1953, over the time, developed into a forest comprising woody trees and shrubs. However, this reduced the extent of Dry meadow, a rare and endangered habitat in Switzerland that was present prior to quarrying at the site. Locally threatened and rare species that depend on this habitat such as lizard orchids and aspic vipers were on the decline. In Switzerland, Dry meadows are considered as an endangered habitat and today only one-tenth of these ecologically valuable lands exist compared to 1950. The loss is primarily due to changing land-use practices. Today, Dry meadow habitats, including Testori are classified as nationally important in Switzerland.
The response
In order to extend its Mormont quarry permit, Holcim Switzerland offered to reestablish the Dry meadow habitat that was present prior to quarrying, at the closed site, Testori. The company recognized the opportunity to use its closed quarry to create increase the biodiversity value from forest to an area of national biodiversity importance.
As a first step, the specialists working at the plant undertook a multi-year comprehensive study (including floral and faunal survey) to understand the biodiversity profile of the site. Based upon the findings, an action plan was developed, together with local authorities and expert biologists. The main objective of the action plan was to promote conservation of the Dry meadows ecosystem in order to provide habitats for the Lizard orchid (Himantoglossum hircinum) and Aspic viper (Vipera aspis).
As part of the restoration process, in order to minimize the damage to natural floral and faunal population, heavy machinery was avoided for vegetation removal. Instead, "soft clearing" - plant by plant - was undertaken, sometimes over several years. Horses were employed to help transport tree cuttings and cleared material without damaging the delicate soils. These activities were normally conducted in January to minimize the disturbance to the snakes. To promote herbaceous and shrub vegetation to grow, regular pruning of the taller and woody vegetation to a desired height was undertaken. Since the inception of the project, progress has been tracked through annual botanical monitoring which has informed update and revision of the action plan as required.
The results
The Testori rehabilitation project earned Eclépens approval to extend its quarrying permit for Mormont and at the same time brought back an important ecosystem to the Testori site. Today, the site is a favourite location for naturalists and supports a range of IUCN Red List flora and fauna species, including the Pasque flower (Pulsatilla vulgarism) and Bee orchid (Ophrys apifera).
The project has demonstrated that closed quarry sites and non-productive sites can be opportunities to restore and enhance biodiversity which help in reducing the overall impact from the extraction operations. This approach can also help to secure the needed consents and approvals for extraction operations elsewhere.Restoration of quarry sites that is informed and guided by regular monitoring supports an adaptive management approach, which improves understanding of the optimal process for and benefits of returning quarries to their natural state
By using its present landholdings to create a high value habitat, Eclepens has converted the risk into an opportunity that benefitted the company as well as the environment.

Vanilla is a product of Lussumo:

I took a taxi home last night, and the cabbie was listening to a talk radio station. The shit this guy said on the radio almost made my brain explode. His theory is that Barack Obama is a construct of the Clintons, created to make Hillary look good, and now Frankenstein is looking better than she is. He went on to call Bush "Franklin Delano Bush" and that he was a socialist democrat in disguise.
With the conspiracy theories running rampant after the 2000 Florida fiasco and the close 2004 election, what will the reaction be if Barack(who at this point in time is heralded as the 2nd coming) beats Hilary, but loses to the Republican.
Would somne extremists see this as the last straw?
Just wonderin'
What I find even more frightening is how much influence "mainstream" voices like Limbaugh, Hannity, and O'Reilley have. I mean, I'm dispositionally conservative, but these guys are just mindless thugs and the fact that millions of Americans take them seriously angers me to no end.
This guy said, "I have a very large, literate audience, despite what the media will tell you, and I have 4 books published."
originalism does not take the view that law or jurisprudence either is or should be stagnant/unchanging: it takes the view that change can legitimately come only from the political branches through statute--i.e., if you're against/for laws limiting/requiring/permitting a practice on which the Constitution is silent, get the relevant legislature to change the law--or constitutional amendment. And, if there isn't the political critical mass necessary to effect those changes, then maybe the world hasn't changed sufficiently to justify the claim that society, and thus the Constitution's requirements, has experienced some "evolvution" that it is the role of the judiciary to divine.
How does this not negate the power of the Judiciary as a co-equal branch of government? Not once has the Court written a law. It has provided guidelines that laws must follow in order to maintain constitutionality, something that is inherent in its purpose of interpreting the laws, but even that has only occured in laws that have made it to the Court. Not only that, but the ninth and tenth amendments reserve the rights not enumerated in the constitution for the states and the people respectively. So really, we're free to do what we please unless a specific law tells us otherwise. We don't need the relevant legislature to change the law or amend the constitution.
I think you're stretching what the Court did. They didn't stop states and municipalities from prohibiting contraceptives.
There is no way that a law would be passed that says "states are legally allowed to sell contraceptives if they so choose" because it's something that doesn't need to be legislated. If you don't want to use contraceptives, don't use them and educate your children and the children in your community in such a way (misguided as I may think it to be) that they will choose not to use them as well.
I guess what I'm saying is that the law that Roe was challenging is what ended up bringing legal abortion into being. The only way for it to be decided whether reproductive rights are enshrined in the Constitution (barring an arguably needless amendment) is through litigation.
There is no a single fair interpretation of any given clause in the Constitution, rather there is a range in which we try to place our findings. What is called judicial activism is no more. and no less then the judiciary interpreting the body itself within that range of both possible and reasonable interpretations. That fact those interpretations, might in part, change overtime is inherent in the notion. We can only look with the eyes we have now and the knowledge we have now upon he document. Putting ourselves into the minds of the framers is not possible and in fact not desirable as such ahistorical acts are no different from any other attempt at interpretation. Those that claim to read clear and unambiguous notions from the document mistake their own choice within the range for the only possible interpretation.

Opening: Bent, Ho-Ho, Metamorphosis & Mis at 21
Editorial Staff • West End • 2 Oct 2006
OPENING TUESDAY, 3 October 2006 (previews from 26 September), Coronation Street's Sally Lindsay stars in The Ho-Ho Club, a comedy about stand-up, at the King's Head Theatre in Islington, north London. Roy Smiles' play also features Stephen Dean, Katy-Jo Howman, Roger Kitter, Dave Mayberry, Billy Miller and the author himself. It runs until 5 November 2006.
ALSO ON TUESDAY (previews from 28 September), a new version of Franz Kafka's 1915 literary classic Metamorphosis opens at west London's Lyric Hammersmith for a run to 28 October 2006 (See News, 16 May 2006). Lyric artistic director David Farr and Gísli Orn Gardarsson, artistic director of Icelandic company Vesturport, have adapted the novel for the stage. In the terrifying but darkly humorous tale, young Gregor Samsa awakes one morning from horrible dreams to find himself transformed into a giant insect. The production features an international cast performing aerial physicality, reuniting many of the creative collaborators behind last year's Woyzeck, with original music by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis and design by Borkur Jonsson.
OPENING WEDNESDAY, 4 October 2006, the Actors' Company presents a short repertory season of Peter Weiss' Marat/Sade and Howard Richardson's Dark of the Moon at Jermyn Street Theatre.
OPENING THURSDAY, 5 October 2006 (previews from 22 September), Scotsman Alan Cumming returns to the West End to star in Daniel Kramer's revival of Martin Sherman's 1978 play Bent at the Trafalgar Studios (See News, 10 Aug 2006). Since his 1998 success with Sam Mendes' Donmar staging of Cabaret - which he accompanied, with Tony Award-winning success, to Broadway - Cumming has been largely based in the US. His other stage credits include Conquest of the South Pole, La Bete, Hamlet and Accidental Death of an Anarchist in London and Design for Living and The Threepenny Opera in New York.
In Nazi Germany, homosexual Max (Cumming) is sent to Dachau, his lover killed en route. At the concentration camp, he denies being gay, preferring to wear the yellow star of the Jews, but when he falls in love with fellow prisoner Horst, he must make a stand. Ian McKellen (pictured visiting Cumming backstage at Trafalgar Studios) starred in the 1990 National Theatre production of the play. Cumming is joined in the current cast by newcomer Chris New and Kevin Trainor. The Pet Shop Boys' Chris Lowe has written a new song for the new production.
ON SATURDAY, 7 October 2006, a specially devised finale at the evening performance of Les Miserables at the Queen's Theatre celebrates two milestones: the show's 21st birthday and becoming the world's longest-running musical (See News, 2 Aug 2006). Producer Cameron Mackintosh and the BBC have also teamed up to produce a specially adapted 75-minute concert version of the show, which will be broadcast on Sunday 8 October (See News, 7 Sep 2006). The current West End cast features John Owen-Jones (as Jean Valjean), Hans Peter Janssens (Javert), Jon Lee (Marius), Sophia Ragavelas (Fantine), Sabrina Aloueche (Eponine), Chris Vincent (Thénardier) and Tracie Bennett (Madame Thénardier).
Based on Victor Hugo's humanitarian novel about a persecuted man in 19th-century revolutionary France, Les Miserables has a book by Alain Boublil, music by Claude-Michel Schonberg and lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer. It's directed by Trevor Nunn with John Caird and designed by John Napier.

text: 5 Injured in 3 Gun Show Shootings It was a day of accidental shootings at 3 shows By Polly Davis Doig, Newser Staff Posted Jan 20, 2013 9:17 AM CST STORY COMMENTS (176) (Newser) – Five people were injured yesterday in accidental shootings at three separate gun shows, reports CNN. A man unpacking a shotgun he intended to sell accidentally discharged the weapon, injuring three people with birdshot at the Dixie Gun and Knife Show in North Carolina. The incident closed down the gun show, but it was set to reopen today. "I'm sure there isn't anybody who hates this more than the guy who owned this weapon," says the local police chief, who added that they were looking into whether it's legal to bring a loaded weapon to state property. Elsewhere, a man at an Ohio gun show accidentally shot off a semiautomatic weapon, shooting his business partner. And a man at an Indiana gun show accidentally shot himself in the hand as he was loading a .45 caliber semiautomatic. "The investigation determined the shooting to be accidental, and no charges will be filed," says a police official.

Deputies: Man stabs victim's hands, back
Victim ID's suspect in lineup, deputies say
Deputies in Fort Lauderdale have arrested a man accused of brutally stabbing and imprisoning a man.
According to the Broward Sheriff's Office, Lorenzo Jones, 26, was inside an apartment at 830 Northwest Street when a man stopped by to see a friend on Jan. 12th.
Investigators said Jones invited the man in to wait for his friend. A short time later, the victim went to leave. That's when authorities said Jones became paranoid. Jones grabbed a 12 inch knife and told the victim to sit down. Deputies said a struggle ensued, at which time Jones stabbed the victim's hands several times and his back twice. Next, Jones grabbed a vodka bottle and forced the victim into the bathroom, where he was instructed to take off his clothes and get in the bathtub, deputies said.
According to authorities, Jones barricaded the apartment and sat outside the bathroom as the victim bled in the tub. Jones threatened to kill the victim with the knife when he attempted to escape numerous times, investigators said.
Detectives said Jones eventually left the apartment and the victim ran next door to a neighbor, who called 911.
The victim was transported to Broward General Hospital, where he underwent surgery.
On January 15th, three days after the stabbing, the neighbor saw Jones return to the apartment. Deputies were called and arrested Jones at the scene of the crime, authorities said.
The victim was able to identify the suspect in a photo lineup at the hospital, authorities said. According to deputies, Jones admitted to the stabbing.
Jones has been charged with attempted felony murder, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, armed false imprisonment, and aggravated assault with intent to commit a felony. He is being held on no bond.

After nearly 30 years of attendance, the Pebble Beach Concours never grows old even though it is the granddaddy of all classic car shows, the best of the best. And every year it never ceases to amaze the attendees with fabulous classic automobiles and new concept cars and productions cars, such as the Acura NSX, Lamborghini Veneno and the Laraki Epitome Concept, many of these cars making their world or North American debut.
Making their debut at showing a car this year were Bob and Barbara Acquistapace of Shingle Springs with their 1950 Lincoln Cosmopolitan Henney Limousine. This year one of the featured marques was Lincoln, and classic and historical Lincolns were there in spades, with cars from the various Ford museums.
The Acquistapace car has a unique history with just three total owners, the first being Ford Motor Co. for four years, then a funeral home for another eight years when it was acquired by Bob Acquistapace for $650 while still in high school in the Bay Area. It has been in his possession for the last 51 years and has never been restored. The Lincoln had 58,698 miles on it when Acquistapace bought it and now it has 80,000 miles. Bob and Barbara Acquistapace used the Lincoln in their marriage ceremony and brought both of their children home from the hospital in it. When the Acquistapaces retired from teaching in the Bay Area, they moved to Shingle Springs some six years ago.
The Lincoln was one of the few Ford products ever to use a four-speed hydramatic transmission and it is powered by a 337 cubic-inch (5.5 liter) flathead V-8 of 152 hp. Wheelbase is 145 inches. Acquistapace was invited to the Concours when someone who knew about the car and was connected to Pebble Beach heard about the car when Acquistapace was looking for a tail light on eBay for a 1928 Lincoln he is currently restoring. He has owned the 1928 Lincoln since 1975. Maybe that will get invited to Pebble as well someday.
Best of Show this year was captured by Joseph and Margie Cassini, III of West Orange, N.J., with his 1934 Packard 1108 12-cylinder convertible with a Dietrich body. It was fitting that a 1932 Lincoln KB Murphy Roadster V-12 owned by John and Heather Mozart of Palo Alto was a runner-up.
The show was full of interesting cars like a 1934 Brewster Town car (Brewster built the early WWII fighter called the Brewster Buffalo) or from the Ford Museum, the Presidential Lincoln Convertible Limousine built for Harry Truman and also used by Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson, or the first production Duesenberg ever built, a 1921 model A (not to be confused with a Ford). It had many firsts, with the first straight-8 with an overhead cam engine and the first car in the U.S. with hydraulic brakes. It also was the first American car to win the French Grand Prix. It was bought new by the current owner's grandfather. While the car spent many years in Hawaii, it now resides in Monterey.
Just from the restoration shop where it spent two and a half years, this Alfa Romeo Superflow IV Pinin Farina Coupe started life in 1953 as a race car and was driven by Juan Manual Fangio to a second place finish in the 1953 Mille Miglia. Between 1953 and 1960 it received four different concept bodies, the last being a Coupe Super Sport Speziale. It had a 3.0L six-cylinder inline double overhead cam engine that had six Weber carburetors and cranks out 365 hp on the dyno. But one look tells the admirer that this concept was the precursor to the most recognized of all Alfas, the Duetto Spider, which was the car Dustin Hoffman drove in the movie "The Graduate."

The Afghan War Diary (AWD for short) consists of messages from several important US military communications systems. The messaging systems have changed over time; as such reporting standards and message format have changed as well. This reading guide tries to provide some helpful hints on interpretation and understanding of the messages contained in the AWD.
Most of the messages follow a pre-set structure that is designed to make automated processing of the contents easier. It is best to think of the messages in the terms of an overall collective logbook of the Afghan war. The AWD contains the relevant events, occurrences and intelligence experiences of the military, shared among many recipients. The basic idea is that all the messages taken together should provide a full picture of a days important events, intelligence, warnings, and other statistics. Each unit, outpost, convoy, or other military action generates report about relevant daily events. The range of topics is rather wide: Improvised Explosives Devices encountered, offensive operations, taking enemy fire, engagement with possible hostile forces, talking with village elders, numbers of wounded, dead, and detained, kidnappings, broader intelligence information and explicit threat warnings from intercepted radio communications, local informers or the afghan police. It also includes day to day complaints about lack of equipment and supplies.
The description of events in the messages is often rather short and terse. To grasp the reporting style, it is helpful to understand the conditions under which the messages are composed and sent. Often they come from field units who have been under fire or under other stressful conditions all day and see the report-writing as nasty paperwork, that needs to be completed with little apparent benefit to expect. So the reporting is kept to the necessary minimum, with as little type-work as possible. The field units also need to expect questions from higher up or disciplinary measures for events recorded in the messages, so they will tend to gloss over violations of rules of engagement and other problematic behavior; the reports are often detailed when discussing actions or interactions by enemy forces. Once it is in the AWD messages, it is officially part of the record - it is subject to analysis and scrutiny. The truthfulness and completeness especially of descriptions of events must always be carefully considered. Circumstances that completely change the meaning of an reported event may have been omitted.
The reports need to answer the critical questions: Who, When, Where, What, With whom, by what Means and Why. The AWD messages are not addressed to individuals but to groups of recipients that are fulfilling certain functions, such as duty officers in a certain region. The systems where the messages originate perform distribution based on criteria like region, classification level and other information. The goal of distribution is to provide those with access and the need to know, all of the information that relevant to their duties. In practice, this seems to be working imperfectly. The messages contain geo-location information in the forms of latitude-longitude, military grid coordinates and region.
The messages contain a large number of abbreviations that are essential to understanding its contents. When browsing through the messages, underlined abbreviations pop up an little explanation, when the mouse is hovering over it. The meanings and use of some shorthands have changed over time, others are sometimes ambiguous or have several meanings that are used depending on context, region or reporting unit. If you discover the meaning of a so far unresolved acronym or abbreviations, or if you have corrections, please submit them to email@example.com.
An especially helpful reference to names of military units and task-forces and their respective responsibilities can be found at http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/ops/enduring-freedom.htm
The site also contains a list of bases, airfields http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/afghanistan.htm Location names are also often shortened to three-character acronyms.
Messages may contain date and time information. Dates are mostly presented in either US numeric form (Year-Month-Day, e.g. 2009-09-04) or various Euro-style shorthands (Day-Month-Year, e.g. 2 Jan 04 or 02-Jan-04 or 2jan04 etc.).
Times are frequently noted with a time-zone identifier behind the time, e.g. "09:32Z". Most common are Z (Zulu Time, aka. UTC time zone), D (Delta Time, aka. UTC + 4 hours) and B (Bravo Time, aka UTC + 2 hours). A full list off time zones can be found here: http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbreviations/timezones/military/
Other times are noted without any time zone identifier at all. The Afghanistan time zone is AFT (UTC + 4:30), which may complicate things further if you are looking up messages based on local time.
Finding messages relating to known events may be complicated by date and time zone shifting; if the event is in the night or early morning, it may cause a report to appear to be be misfiled. It is advisable to always look through messages before and on the proceeding day for any event.

The 10 Biggest Douchebags in Country Music
By Mike Seeley
When I was a li'l kid in the early '60s, what is now formally designated "traditional" or "New Orleans jazz" was more commonly classified as "Dixieland." This was also a time when black people were widely called "colored," women were referred to as "broads," and Republicans were generally considered "human beings." In these more enlightened times, most now recognize how deeply wrong and offensive these sobriquets were, and I concur with the consensus—with one exception: "Traditional?" "New Orleans jazz?" Sheeeeit . . . regale your aural orifices of the early euphony of Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bechet, Red Allen, King Oliver, et al.; shake your shimmy to such standards as "When the Saints Go Marching In," "Basin Street Blues," "Muskrat Ramble" and "Sweet Georgia Brown"; and then tell me if "traditional New Orleans jazz" doesn't seem more than a bit pedantically vanilla to effectively convey the immeasurable pleasures of the greasy, funky, low-down, gator-gnawed, backwater, hooch-swilling, honey-dripping, loose-jointed, splooge-spattered, snatch-stankin', crawfish-sucking, razor-wielding, gun-toting, coke-hornin' genesis of America's original homegrown music. Down Beat-reading Wynton-fetishists disapprove; I, goddamn it, approve.
The point of this unpleasant preamble is that the Preservation Hall Jazz Band is coming to town this week. PHJB was formed in 1961 to uphold the original sound, style and sensibility of first-wave "jass"—as it was contemporaneously and more bitchen-ly identified—in the face of encroaching modernity. Most of the group's original members—already fusty old fuckers 40 years ago—have since passed on, but PHJB, by design, is a concept and institution rather than a static lineup. Over the years, the constant has been that the group performs this music in blissfully loose-to-downright-sloppy fashion, with the emphasis on unbridled joy and down-home authenticity as opposed to fancy-boy technique. This is not to say PHJB hasn't had its share of great chop slingers over the years—merely that many of the principals are often past their prime, semiretired, don't-give-a-shit-anymore types who sound more like fun-loving old drunks with boners than fresh-faced young Berklee Music School grads who take themselves—and this music—oh so seriously.
The irony is that PHJB may well take great offense at everything I've written here, from calling their music "Dixieland" to questioning the precision of their performance to classifying them as old drunks with boners. Hell, for all I know, these guys are all bible-thumpin' teetotalers who haven't popped a pup tent since the Reagan administration. But they sound like old drunks with boners whether they strive to or not—bless 'em all—as evidenced by every PHJB recording I've heard from the '60s through the '00s, and that's exactly why you need to check them out.The Preservation Hall Jazz Band performs at The Irvine Barclay Theatre, 4242 Campus Dr., Irvine, (949) 854-4646.

It's A Vine Branch- Kinda Thing
Welcome back. How many hits did you get? Google estimated 15,700,000 hits for me. Over 15 million results on sermons over this passage of Scripture. Even if we factor that some of those results are duplicates or repostings, that's still a staggering number. So, going into this, I am sure I have nothing new or exciting on this, but I hope that it will at least help someone.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources says an injured eaglet seen struggling on the agency's popular "eagle cam" has been euthanized.
WCCO-TV reports the DNR initially said it would not interfere with the nest, but then changed its approach.
The eaglet was taken to the Raptor Center on Friday. Diagnostic imaging showed the bird had a serious injury in its elbow joint. The eaglet also had a systemic infection.
The Raptor Center says the eaglet's condition made it impossible for the bird to survive in the wild. Even if kept in captivity, the bird would have been in discomfort.
This is the second year of the eagle cam, which features a nesting pair of bald eagles live on the Internet. Two surviving eaglets remain in the nest.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Voters in dozens of municipalities apparently want new faces running city hall.
It was evident in Tuesday's vote in Jefferson County where seven incumbent mayors were ousted. New leaders were elected in Argo, Brighton, Clay, Leeds, Lipscomb, West Jefferson and Homewood.
In Selma, City Council President George Evans beat incumbent James Perkins in an upset.
Longtime Tuskegee Mayor Johnny will face Omar Neal in a runoff.
Another runoff will pit Huntsville Mayor Loretta Spencer against challenger Bill Battle. Meanwhile, voters in Florence re-elected Bobby Irons to serve a second four-year term.
In south Alabama, former city councilman Tony Kennon defeated two opponents to win the mayor's post in Orange Beach. And by a narrow margin, Stan Wright was re-elected to a third term as mayor of Bayou La Batre.
Runoff elections will be held Oct. 7.

The race for Arkansas House of Representatives Dist. 99 brings a Yellville independent, Anton Such, to challenge for the office now held by incumbent Republican Kelley Linck, also of Yellville.
The district encompasses Cotter and Gassville in Baxter County, most of Marion County and portions of Boone and Searcy counties. Early voting in the Nov. 6 general election begins Oct. 15. The voter registration deadline is Oct. 8.
Both candidates espouse traditional conservative views on issues ranging from opposition to big government, opposition to excessive taxation, preservation of gun rights and personal property rights, and opposition to abortion.
The candidates also agree that a plan to expand the states system of Medicaid services and the number of Medicaid-eligible Arkansans by 2014 comes with dangerous assumptions and unknown costs.
The next general assembly of the Arkansas Legislature likely will debate how the state will implement provisions of the Affordable Health Care for America Act of 2010 and an estimated 250,000 new Medicaid-eligible Arkansans that come with the new program.
Weve got a dandy in front of us, Linck said. Im not at all inclined to go along with our federal government that borrows the money it gives to us.
It may be a different story if we were rolling along with a growing economy, but the the national debt is somewhere upward of $16 trillion, Linck said.
Such says he believes the nations predicament and the states predicament leaves no doubt our health care system is broken and needs work.
But, not this (the state expansion), he said.
Such says red flags abound with regard to the states participation in the new health care reform and the state should exercise provisions of the U.S. Constitution to nullify the imposition of Affordable Health Care for America Act.
Such and his wife Christy are partners in A&C Excavating. He is the chief of the Ralph-Caney Rural Fire Department and a member of the Marion County Emergency Search and Rescue team.
Linck is executive director of Ozark Mountain Region of the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism. The region is a marketing arm of the state agency representing events and travel destinations in Baxter, Marion, Boone, Searcy and Newton counties.
Linck sponsored or co-sponsored more than 30 bills during his first term as a lawmaker. A bill to eliminate state restraints on how school districts may dispose of school property idled in school consolidations is an item of unfinished business Linck hopes to see enacted by the 89th General Assembly.
The bill would enable districts to sell, preserve, lease or donate real property that no longer is used by a district.

Clynelish 1996 (Malts of Scotland)
Tasting notes by Ruben Luyten - Posted in Clynelish
Clynelish is a Diageo distillery that's appreciated by many connoisseurs for its subtle, lighter style with lots of waxy notes and the usage of lightly peated malt. Clynelish (sister of the wonderful Brora) tends to be a bit unusual, but always rewarding. This 1996 distillation was from a sherry butt.
Clynelish 12yo 1996 (58,1%, Malts of Scotland 2009, cask #8245, 304 btl.)
Nose: prickly nose but it opens up with some hand warmth, there's lovely apricot captured by Clynelish's typical wax. Hints of gin tonic and cut grass. Some oranges and almonds. Hints of violets. Lots of character really. Mouth: wonderful violet candy mixed with other fruity notes. Very sugary lemon juice. Sweet as marshmallows. So beautiful. Becoming oily and resinous. Oranges with nutmeg. Finish: medium length, balancing between waxiness, fruitiness and spiciness.
If you like vibrant, candied Clynelish, this is highly recommended. Around € 50 which makes it an absolute stunner! Thumbs up for Malts of Scotland. Find a shop in Germany that ships outside of the country.
Score: 90/100

I'm going to advise not to use a tripod (unless you're shooting large format). It's another piece of equipment you have to fiddle with and put between you and your subject, it prohibits the creation of those great grab shots you could only get with the speed of hand-holding, and if you're at shutter speeds slow enough to use a tripod, your subject might still be blurry from moving.
Like what ChristopherCoy and I said before, just shoot hand-held, wide open the whole time. It will look great. Shooting at f/11 on a tripod is for large groups and old timers who had to stop down on their 4x5's.
Take a look at this one, Shot the whole thing on a 1V and 85L, hand-held. Looks awesome: http://www.michellemooreblog.com/201...k-to-my-roots/

Sunaina Perera interviews LAKSHMI PURI, Deputy Executive Director of UN WomenUNITED NATIONS, Aug 18, 2011 (IPS) – The donor base for UN Women has expanded to 95 countries since the new United Nations entity was launched at the start of this year, according to Lakshmi Puri, the assistant secretary-general and deputy executive director of UN Women.
Puri, who is responsible for the leadership and management of the bureau supporting inter-governmental bodies, U.N. coordination and external relations, said that Spain remains the largest donor for total resources (core and non-core), followed by Norway. The UK recently announced an increase from three to 10 million pounds and thus became the second largest core donor.
Other key donors who have significantly boosted their support include Canada (eight- fold increase), Sweden (which doubled its core contribution), Australia, Denmark, Netherland, Finland and the Republic of Korea.
"We likewise have been receiving strengthened support from non-OECD DAC donors such as India (one million dollars) and Nigeria (500,000 dollars). These are very encouraging trends which we hope to see replicated by many member states," she said.
In an interview with IPS, Puri explained the budget, goals and progress of UN Women and the challenges it continues to face. Excerpts from the interview follow.
Q: UN Women currently has a presence in dozens of countries, and expects to continue growing. How quickly do you expect to expand into more countries, where aid is also needed?
A: UN WomenтАФ United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of WomenтАФis an historic step forward for women. We are the largest single U.N. body ever charged with advancing gender equality. It is an entity with an ambitious agenda but also a practical agenda of building an organisation that can make a lasting difference in women's lives.
The Field Capacity Assessment (FCA) that UN Women completed in February 2011 has identified our current presence, which varies in size, scale and complexity, in 75 countries and territories. The first Strategic Plan for the organisation was just approved by the Executive Board in June 2011. In the first few years, we propose a particular focus on the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and middle income countries with high inequality as well as countries in conflict and post-conflict situations with particular insecurity for women.
Q: Women in developing countries will often risk their own lives to provide necessary care for their families, but this is after the occurrence of a crisis. How does UN Women hope to integrate women into disaster preparedness and prevention before a crisis hits?
A: Yes, gender inequalities often increase women's vulnerability during natural disasters and environmental stress, for various reasons from literacy levels which often restrict women's access to public information on forecasts of natural disasters and related relief services, to women's clothing or lack of skills such as swimming and climbing trees which contributes to the death rate of women – especially when compared to men – in typhoons, tsunamis and floods.
Women's overall empowerment is the primary prevention to women's disproportionate risk during and after disasters. Women living and working as equals are at lower risk of mortality from disasters. They are more likely to be economically empowered which increases their resiliency; they are more politically empowered so their needs are heard in planning and decision-making processes; and they are socially empowered, educated, literate, and can mobilise to prepare and respond.
Q: What is the current UN Women budget, in addition to the minimum 500 million dollars recognised as an annual minimum? How does this limited budget manage to meet the needs of each of UN Women's programs, considering the weight of its proposed tasks?
A: For UN Women, the financial target for annual voluntary contributions amounts are $300 million in 2011, 400 million dollars in 2012 and 500 million dollars in 2013. In terms of composition of resources, the target is that 50 percent of total contributions will be to unearmarked core and the other 50 percent will be to non-core (un-earmarked) resources, including the Fund for Gender Equality and the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women.
By establishing UN Women, countries have strongly committed to support gender equality and to invest in it, and we are hopeful that they will do so.
Q: The U.N. General Assembly adopted a resolution calling for fifty- fifty gender parity on decision making jobs at the U.N. by the year 2000, with a final goal of fifty-fifty gender parity within the U.N. How much of this has been achieved?
A: Following U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's focus on the representation of women, the U.N. has experienced an unprecedented increase in women at the most senior levels. Over three years (2007- 2009), women at the under secretary-general level rose by 12 percent from 17 percent to 29 percent, and at assistant-secretary-general level by five percent from 20 percent to 25 percent in the U.N. Secretariat, where the vast majority of senior-most posts reside.
These figures are remarkable when we consider that this progress over a three-year period exceeds that of the entire decade. Across the U.N. system, this trend is further supported by evidence that 20 entities increased their representation of women between 2007 and 2009, and that 45.2 percent of all appointments were women.
In terms of decision-making posts, there has been an increase in the percentage of women at all levels (D-1 to ASG/USG) between 2007 and 2009, which have been 1.2 percent, one percent and 3.5 percent, respectively. However, none of these levels have yet achieved gender parity and all levels report less than 30 percent female staff.
Regarding the P-1 to P-5 levels, between 2000 and 2009 the U.N. achieved or exceeded parity at the P-1 and P-2 levels, and at the P-1 level it maintained gender balance throughout the decade. At the General Service and Field Service levels, the representation of women on all contract types at headquarters significantly exceeded the target of gender parity: 63.3 percent for General Service and 72.7 percent for Field Service, mirroring the traditional pattern of dominance of females at the lower ranks.
Therefore, while we see that there is an increase in women in decision-making roles at the U.N., much still remains to be done, and UN Women will continue to strongly advocate for it.

Thank you very much man. I was just searching for it and I saw that message. It definitely sounds like a studio version to me. I can hear different guitar parts added in around 35 seconds and his vocals sound "better" than before.
mm no.. the guitar parts are just the same as in the demo.. nothing has changed... it's better mixed and you can hear it better, that's all
if you pay closely attention to the demo, you'll see the guitar is there, and it's the same, but it's more hidden in between Axl's voice and all the other stuff so you can't make the whole outro quite as clear as in the ad version without making an extra effort

Siemens To Build Nacelle Production Factory In Kansas
NAW Staff, Friday 08 May 2009 - 10:19:01
Siemens Energy has selected Hutchinson, Kan., for its first U.S. nacelle production facility. The 300,000 square-foot nacelle facility and an adjacent 80,000 square-foot service and repair facility will be built on more than 100 acres in Reno County.
The operation is expected to create an estimated 400 green-collar jobs and will be the first major wind turbine equipment factory in Kansas, which is ranked third in the U.S. for its wind energy resource potential. The new Siemens facilities in Hutchinson will allow Siemens to better meet the strong demand for wind turbines in the Americas.
"The United States already is and will continue to be one of the world's fastest-growing wind energy markets," says Peter Loscher, CEO of Siemens AG. "We are thus intensifying our commitment to this green technology to further expand our leading global position in this field."
Construction on the new nacelle production facility is expected to begin in August, and the first 90-ton nacelle is expected to be shipped from the factory in December 2010. The nacelles that are made at the Hutchinson facility will be used for the company's 2.3 MW wind turbine product family.
Initially, the factory's planned annual output is approximately 650 nacelles. The service and repair facility is planned to start up sooner, using temporary space in the area until the new facility is completed.

For many, the fantasy playoffs begin in Week 14. For those teams, attacking free agency in a rash manner is not the wisest plan. A shrewd dissection of the waiver wire crop is in order, as those teams look to plug any remaining holes. From my vantage point, here's a look at the free agents that are likely to make the biggest impact in the fantasy postseason:
Kerry Collins, Oak – 27-for-41, 343 yards, 3 TD's, 0 INT's
In the past three weeks, only Peyton Manning and Donovan McNabb have been better fantasy QB's than Collins. This is a somewhat surprising development for those who suffered through the misery of Collins' first three starts of the season, in which he combined for just one TD pass and seven INT's. But Collins has steadily turned things around since then, and has nine TD passes to just two INT's in the past three weeks. For those following Collins' career, he's known for his solid play in December, which has secured a role for him the following season on many occasions. Fantasy owners who can still get in on Collins should add him if not only for a Week 16 matchup with Kansas City, the team he riddled on Sunday for 343 yards and three TD's.
Carson Palmer, Cin – 29-for-36, 382 yards, 3 TD's, 1 INT
Palmer has produced nine TD passes in his past three games despite facing (in order) the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens, three of the top pass defenses in the league. So, while Palmer does have tough dates with New England and Buffalo in the next two weeks, he has shown that he can still be productive. Palmer's worth adding as bench insurance during the playoff weeks for those lacking QB depth.
Brian Griese, TB – 13-for-21, 131 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT
Despite a rather sub-par fantasy performance on Sunday, Griese still warrants fantasy consideration for those who rotate QB starters based upon matchups. Griese has a big-time opportunity to shine in Week 15 when Tampa Bay hosts New Orleans, a team that has allowed opposing starting quarterbacks an average of 296 passing yards in its past seven games. The Saints have also yielded a woeful 17 TD passes during that span. In Griese's first appearance of the season back in Week 5, he completed 16-of-19 passes with one TD in three quarters of play against the Saints. Despite having thrown nine TD passes in his past five games, Griese is available in roughly half of Yahoo! default leagues.
Running Backs
Larry Johnson, KC – 20 carries, 118 rushing yards, 56 receiving yards, 2 TD's
A hard hit forced Derrick Blaylock to leave Sunday's game early with a neck injury. That allowed backup Larry Johnson an opportunity to shine. Blaylock is expected to return for a Week 14 Monday night contest with Tennessee, but Johnson can't be ignored after his staring role in Week 13. While Johnson will return to playing backup to Blaylock, you can figure that these two backs are liable to spilt the time evenly from here on out, as it is very possible that we've seen the last of Priest Holmes this season. While Johnson may seem a scary proposition, fantasy owners should remember that Kansas City is a team that has the most rushing touchdowns and the fourth-most rushing yards in the NFL. A half a game from Johnson is likely to be worth more than a full game from any of a handful of featured backs.
Chester Taylor, Bal – 23 carries, 139 yards, 1 TD
The New York Giants are struggling against the run, as evidenced by Washington RB Clinton Portis' 148-yard, 2 TD performance against them in Week 13. That means Taylor should be a fairly solid play when his team hosts the Giants this Sunday, assuming Jamal Lewis cannot return from his ankle injury (a likely scenario). With OL Jonathan Ogden clearing his way, Taylor rolled up 139 yards and a TD on Sunday. He's a solid play in any game that he's expected to start, as Baltimore has long been one of the league's better rushing offenses.
Larry Croom, Ari – 18 carries, 48 yards
While Croom produced pedestrian numbers in his NFL starting debut in Week 13, he's likely to fare much better in his follow-up effort this coming Sunday. With Emmitt Smith unlikely to return from a toe injury, Croom would get another starting opportunity, this time against a San Francisco defense that ranks 29th in the league with 15 rushing TD's allowed. Croom is only an option for those fantasy owners that, for whatever reasons, have bare running back cupboards.
Arlen Harris, StL – Backup to Marshall Faulk, Steven Jackson
Harris is a potential get-rich quick option for Week 14. With Marshall Faulk and Steven Jackson both expected to be listed as questionable for Sunday, Harris would get a starting nod if neither can play. And Harris would face a Carolina defense that has been one of the worst in the NFL at limiting opposing RB's fantasy points. Admittedly, Carolina has been much improved against the run in the past few weeks, but you simply can't ignore the fact that it has allowed the second-most rushing TD's in the league (15). Stay closely tuned to this situation.
Drew Bennett, Ten – 3 catches, 124 yards, 3 TD's
As the saying goes, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink." By that, I'm referring to the fact that Bennett has graced the past three Waiver Report columns, yet he still remains widely available in Yahoo! leagues. His three-TD performance on Sunday will rectify that oversight. Bennett remains a tall, sure-handed option in the red zone. And he will continue to face one of the softest schedules for a wide receiver down the stretch.
Antonio Bryant, Cle – 7 catches, 115 yards, 2 TD's
As far as physical talents go, you couldn't ask for much more than Bryant. He has size, strength and good football speed. And he's finally getting to put those skills to use in a meaningful capacity as a member of the Cleveland Browns. In the past two weeks, Bryant has combined for 15 catches, 246 yards and four TD's. So long as Jeff Garcia is out – Garcia has an aversion to throwing the ball to his wide receivers – Bryant is a must pickup. His upside is such that he could play a valuable role in fantasy playoff weeks.
Lee Evans, Buf – 4 catches, 110 yards, 2 TD's
Evans has three touchdowns and 180 yards combined in his past two contests. It is the best two-week stretch of his rookie season, which has been equal parts hit and miss. Evans has the kind of deep-threat speed that you can't ignore. He has the potential to break a long one at any time. To see him produce his best fantasy games of the season in back-to-back weeks should be encouraging for fantasy owners. He is a high-reward play for fantasy owners with receiver needs. And the down-side risk seems to be getting less and less each week.
T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Cin – 10 catches, 171 yards, 1 TD
With Houshmandzadeh's monster effort on Sunday, he now has 14 catches, 250 yards and three TD's in his past two games. Fantasy owners will need to take Houshmandzadeh seriously now that he is being targeted in the red zone – two of his three TD's came from within 10 yards. The former Oregon State product had been teasing owners with an occasional decent yardage performance, but these latest TD's are his only scores of the season. With his latest success, Houshmanzadeh merits at least a bench spot on fantasy rosters.
Eddie Kennison, KC – 8 catches, 149 yards, 1 TD
On Sunday, Kennison reached 99-plus reciving yards for the fourth time in five games. His one down week during that stretch was his nine-yard performance in Week 12. Despite laying that egg, he has the the fourth-most receiving yards among wideouts since Week 9. If you can get your hands on Kennison, he's an attractive play this week against a confidence-rocked Tennesssee secondary that allowed a combined 355 yards in Week 13 to Indy receivers Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne and Brandon Stokley.

Q: I have been brushing my long-haired cat daily, but I still find mats on him the following day. What's going on? Is it something about the wintertime? It doesn't seem to happen in the spring and summer months.
A: I don't know about you, but when I get up in the morning, I have to run a brush through my hair before trying to wash it. If I don't, it'll be a struggle to get the tangles out, even with conditioner. I assume it's because we move around in our sleep and our hair gets tangled up with the pillow or sheet.
I would imagine it's the same for our pets. When they roll around on their blankets, it must curl and twist their fur.
You also have made a good point about it being winter. Two of my cats burrow at this time of year, digging their way under the covers until not a single body part is sticking out. It means I have to be careful when I sit down so I don't squash them.
I would certainly keep up the grooming habits that you've been doing because you want to stay ahead of the mats and, hopefully, warmer weather will bring a decrease in the tangles in your feline.
Q: How can I get my dog to learn not to jump up on people when my family let her do it?
A: You've brought up an interesting dilemma in dog training. Everyone involved with the pup has to be on the same page, doing the same thing in the same manner in order for the training to be effective.
We have the same situation at the shelter because so many different people come in to see our dogs. One person might let a dog jump up to say hello while the next person doesn't want that to happen. It leads to confused dogs, that's for sure.
Dogs need consistency in order to learn, and you may have to explain this to each member of your family. Sometimes training our dogs means training the people in their lives, too.

Bob and his techs are great. I had a leak in the valve cover gaskets that a dealer and another private shop wanted over $600 to replace. Bob came in just at $500 as well as found other leaks in the oil pan gasket, and power steering pump, all of which the others didn't find. His prices are reasonable and he stands behind the work done. Great shop, great service!


text: Over our 30-year history of building bikes we have accumulated extensive knowledge on how to build custom bikes that don't compromise on any aspects of our intended ride quality. In the beginning, every frame we built was custom. As the years passed, we started to see similarities in those customs: tubing selection based on rider profiles, geometry for specific styles of riding, and the handling characteristics desired by people that rode and rode often. We kept notes on those builds, and, with our own refinement and ongoing knowledge of how to maximize the performance benefits of titanium, we developed an extensive line of stock bike sizes all born from years of learning gained through our custom-only build period. Over time we have continued to evolve our Build-to-Order custom program to include a personalized fit from one of our many capable dealers that will work with you step by step to achieve the perfect fit and desired ride out of your Moots custom. This program involves an in-person fit session to make sure all points are covered to achieve the ride of a lifetime in your Moots custom frame. Working one-on-one with your dealer will ensure proper measurements are taken and then relayed to the sales and design teams at Moots. From there an initial drawing of the design will be given to your dealer for personal review with you. Once the final design is agreed upon by all, a deposit payment is taken and work begins on your new custom Moots.

Limpopo officials blow R25m on phone billsComment on this story
The secret is out. Limpopo Education MEC Dickson Masemola contributed to his bankrupt department's "pathetic" state of affairs – and an unauthorised expenditure bill of R2.2 billion last year, and R25 million a year on phone bills.
A report blames him and other top officials in the department for not acting act against budget abuse and the constant deviation from protocol.
There was no oversight by department head Morebudi Thamaga, chief financial officer Martin Mashaba, the MEC or senior management, which directly led to unauthorised expenditure, said the report.
The 47-page report, which The Star has seen, was penned by the department's former administrator, Dr Anis Karodia, who was fired by Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga.
Karodia's report lifts the lid on the bankrupt department and puts the blame squarely on the shoulders of a culture of nepotism – "family ties and friendships from the very top" – and clock-watching.
The report noted that the structure of the department was "top heavy and cumbersome". Some senior managers had no relevant qualifications and landed their plum jobs on the basis of "political patronage".
Karodia said the department's financial systems were in a state of "decay, morass" and did "not speak" to the delivery of educational priorities. The report blamed poor systems, poor monitoring and "serious" dereliction for the mess.
There was "woeful" planning, execution and management, compounded by poor service delivery, the report said.
The department contravened the financial laws by splitting orders – officials divided a multimillion-rand tender into smaller ones of less than R500 000 each to avoid putting it out to competitive bidding.
The report said staff captured staff allowances on the BSA IT system (used to capture goods), rather than Persal (used to capture staff information) to evade paying personal tax.
Constant budget deviation was the norm, due to the lack of financial leadership.
The karodia report was delivered at the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) during its four-day fact-finding mission to Limpopo in March. The Star previously reported that Masemola and Karodia had clashed on the sidelines of the NCOP gathering over the report and subsequently fell out.
Motshekga removed Karodia from his position two months later.
The report said the department spent about R25m a year on cellphones and landlines. It said that phones and 3G cards were "an abused commodity", and a clear indication of the "rot" that had set in at the department.
The document said the department issued 1 806 cellphones which cost R1m a month and paid about the same for its landlines.
"This means that the cellphone and landline usage per year is in the region of R25 million," the report said.
''This is an indictment. There are lower-down staff that run cellphone bills of R5 000 per month and continue to abuse their allocations each month with no punitive action. There is no oversight at all," the report added.
Karodia said he was forced to cut off some cellphone lines because of abuse. He reinstated them after implementing a policy of capping usage and putting cellphones on soft lock when limits were exceeded, the report said.
It was envisaged that for any over-usage exceeding seven months, the department would deduct the money from the responsible staff in a phased manner, he said.
Karodia warned that the abuse of 3G cards would also be investigated.
Pat Kgomo, the Limpopo education spokesman, dismissed Karodia's report as baseless, "unsubstantiated allegations".
"The MEC challenged the authenticity of the report and the unsubstantiated allegations presented by Dr Karodia… Up to date, those allegations were never substantiated."
The provincial education department went bankrupt in September, did not pay for textbooks for this year's pupil intake, and was placed under administration in December by Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan. Thousands of pupils are still without textbooks and learning material, seven months into the new year.
Two forensic auditing companies have since found evidence of rampant maladministration that includes financial mismanagement, tender fraud, and the looting of the department's coffers by various officials.

The Calm Sea, 1869
Gustave Courbet (French, 1819–1877)
Oil on canvas; 23 1/2 x 28 3/4 in. (59.7 x 73 cm)
H. O. Havemeyer Collection, Bequest of Mrs. H. O. Havemeyer, 1929 (29.100.566)
Courbet's first encounter with the Mediterranean, in 1854, resulted in a group of seascapes. He returned to the genre during a prolific three-month period in Trouville in 1865. There, in the company of James McNeill Whistler and Claude Monet, he executed, by his own count, thirty-eight canvases, including twenty-five seascapes. Returning to Étretat along the coast of Normandy in August 1869, he painted this view of the Channel coast at low tide. The composition, in which an immense sky reduces the landscape to narrow bands of sea and shore, is one that Courbet favored for his seascapes.

Unified Police say welfare check unveils 'suspicious death'
Taylorsville • Unified Police detectives on Wednesday were investigating a "suspicious death," which is being treated as a homicide, after officers conducted a welfare check at a Salt Lake County home.
UPD Lt. Justin Hoyal said family members of a 59-year-old woman had called 911, concerned that they had not heard from the woman who lives alone since Saturday. Officers were dispatched to check the residence, in the 3900 West block of Blue Meadow Drive (5850 South) in Taylorsville.
"In the process of searching the home they found a deceased body. There is evidence at the scene that leads us to believe that the death is suspicious. The case is being treated as a homicide," Hoyal said. He would not say where in the house the body was found. There was no sign of forced entry or damage to the outside of the home.
Hoyal said investigators could not positively confirm or rule out the body as the missing woman's or even identify the body as male or female. He also said the cause of death was not immediately apparent.
As of 3:15 p.m., investigators, before entering the home, were donning special suits to prevent their hairs or skin cells from contaminating the scene.
The body was taken by the state Medical Examiner's Office. Investigators may be able to release information as to the individual's identity and cause of death after an autopsy on Thursday, Hoyal said.
"As more information is available it will be released," Hoyal said.

PanPan Atelier a Artisan bakery chain in Valencia, Spain. Brand design Rocío Martinavarro.
Contemporary reinterpretation of the traditional ear of wheat, the basic ingredient of bread to form a pattern that is easily recognizable. The chevron pattern also reminds of antique artisan techniques such as woven esparto baskets, used to display the bread, or opus spicatum, redefined in the interior design of PanPan bakeries.
The naming concept is based on word repetition in order to emphasize authenticity. Bread-bread, as in real bread. This system is carried throughout all communication materials, and has endless possibilities, all grouped under one slogan with double meaning: "PanPan. Repetirás" (BreadBread. You will repeat).

Nascent Iodine is a consumable iodine in its atomic form rather than its molecular form. It is an iodine atom that has an incomplete number of electrons.
Iodine it perhaps best known for its role in normal production of thyroid hormones and normal thyroid function. It also contributes to normal cognitive function and normal function of the nervous system, as well as normal energy metabolism, skin health and to normal growth in children.
Nascent Iodine is a consumable iodine in its atomic form rather than its molecular form. It is an iodine atom that has an incomplete number of electrons. It is paramagnetic. What does that mean? Well, it means that the iodine atoms can hold an electromagnetic charge. While this all might sound a little like a flashback to chemistry class, the most important thing to understand is that Nascent Iodine has a huge energy release when consumed. This "charged" state is held by the atom until diluted in water and consumed, whereby it gradually loses energy over a 2-3 hour time span. During this time, Nascent Iodine is recognized by the body as the same iodine that is produced by the thyroid and is absorbed effortlessly by the body.
Is Nascent Iodine the Same as Detoxified Iodine or Atomic Iodine?
No, Detoxified Iodine is a coined name that for many years has been produced at 10 amps of resistance for five minutes with a high volume of iodine in solution. An iodine process that according to Edgar Cayce gives the molecule of iodine additional energy making it easier to assimilate into the body.
2-3 drops upto 3 times daily. Take on an empty stomach 30 minutes before or 1 hour after meals, medications and other supplements. Recommended to take before 4pma s it can raise your energy levels and keep you awake at night.
Iodine (in its atomic form) 400 mcg per drop. In a base of organic grain alcohol.

In a way, "Not Again?!" is a homecoming for Greely Myatt. The second solo exhibition of his career was at the Masur Museum of Art in 1979. Since then he and the Masur have grown a great deal.
"Not Again?!" is also a fitting metaphor for thinking about Myatt's studio practice. He is interested in the cyclical nature of life and symbols. Myatt often gives found objects and well-worn cultural cues new life while making art.

Water, that is.
It is a frighteningly shortsighted decision.
