IceStone is manufactured without any petrochemicals or resins, making it an environmentally responsible choice for countertops in the home or office. Care of IceStone is similar to that of natural stone. Like all surfaces, IceStone will show signs of wear and tear over time. With sensible care, you can maintain the beauty and quality of your IceStone surface.
If the water mark is wide and flat it's time to reseal (left image).
If the water mark is raised and has irregular edges then the sealer is in tact (right image).
You can purchase recommended products at our web store. Note that using products other than those recommended on IceStone can result in less than optimal performance of the material.
IceStone offers a Residential 10-year Limited Warranty and a Commercial 5-year Limited
Warranty for installations that are fabricated and installed by an IceStone Certified Fabricator. Register your warranty on our website and receive e-mail reminders about maintaining your IceStone.
IceStone is a pre-cast surface material made from three core ingredients: 100% recycled glass, portland cement, and non-toxic pigments.
IceStone surfaces are manufactured in Brooklyn, NY. All glass is recycled from pre and post-consumer sources in the United States. The cement is from York, PA.
IceStone, LLC sells slabs to distributors and fabricators throughout the United States and Canada. Visit the Showroom Locator on our website for a list of certified fabricators, showrooms, and distributors in your area. Please call our customer service department at 718-624-4900 if you have any questions.
IceStone works well in many commercial and residential applications, including, but not limited to, kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, conference tables, transaction areas, reception areas, desks, and windowsills. For more information visit our gallery.
IceStone surfaces must be fabricated and installed by a Certified IceStone Fabricator. Usually, IceStone is fabricated by a shop that has the capacity to cut natural stone, since the machinery used on IceStone is similar. For any technical questions concerning fabrication, please call IceStone Customer Service at 718-634-4900, or view the Fabrication Guidelines.
Installation cost may vary depending on size and scope of the job. Contact a Certified Fabricator, or IceStone distributor in your area to obtain detailed pricing. Only Certified Fabricators and IceStone distributors can purchase IceStone. Find an IceStone Distributor or Certified Fabricator in your area.
IceStone is very scratch resistant, however, as with all surfaces, we recommend using cutting boards.
IceStone surfaces can withstand incidental heat contact up to 450° F. However, please note that the sealer and wax applied to the surface might not be heat resistant, so hot plates or trivets should be used under pots and pans recently removed from a heat source.
IceStone slabs measure 52.5″ wide by 96.5″ long, and 1.25″ thick (35 square feet). Dimensions are nominal.
IceStone surfaces weigh approximately 16.3 lbs. per square foot, (570 lbs. per slab).
While IceStone has been used in outdoor applications, they are not recommended, and will not be covered by the warranty. If you have a specific question concerning an outdoor application, please contact IceStone Customer Service at 718-624-4900
IceStone has been used as flooring, however, this type of application will not covered by the warranty. Please consult Customer Service at 718-624-4900 before using IceStone as flooring.
IceStone, LLC does not recommend reducing the manufactured thickness of 1.25". All IceStone properties (compressive and flexural strength) are ASTM certified for standard 1.25" thickness and these properties can be affected by modifying the thickness of IceStone slab. Milling down IceStone will effect structural integrity, and will void the warranty.
Edge profiles recommended by the Marble Institute of America are appropriate for IceStone surfaces, including, but not limited to, the ones shown below.
IceStone surfaces are manufactured with a high-gloss finish, but a fabricator can alter the finish of the slab. Only slabs with the manufactured finish will be covered by the warranties.
IceStone surfaces can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth and one of our recommended cleaners. For a list of our recommended cleaners, or to order any recommended products, please visit our store.
IceStone does need to be sealed, and as such, requires the fabricator to seal the product before, or at the time of installation. IceStone also seals all slabs before they leave the factory. While IceStone does not require the use of wax, for optimal surface performance, application of wax is recommended. For ongoing maintenance recommendations, a list of recommended sealers, or to purchase recommended products, please visit our store.
Yes. Since IceStone surfaces do not contain any petrochemicals, IceStone does not fade in sunlight.

The state is sponsoring the creation of 50 digital textbooks
The younger generations may one day never need to lug around heavy and expensive textbooks for their classes. California Governor Jerry Brown signed two bills yesterday that will fund the creation of 50 open source digital textbooks and will launch the California Open Source Digital Library to host them. The law could help bring down the ballooning expenses of college for students and their families.
The 50 titles will be selected by the California Open Education Resources Council. The group will pick the textbooks from public, post-secondary classes, then collect bids for the creation of those materials as digital books in 2013. The law requires that the digital titles be protected under Creative Commons licenses, which means they can be accessed and used by teachers or students outside of California. The state's public universities have produced some impressive feats of science and ingenuity, so this push for digital textbooks will be watched closely by other educators.
It was a busy few days for Governor Brown, who also signed legislation yesterday that prevents employers from demanding access to their workers' social media accounts. Earlier this week, he signed a bill allowing self-driving cars on the California streets.

I dont excercise yet, I keep meaning to start! I just know how to pose well I think! And I put all my weight on butt and thighs and none anywhere else ><
Well that's fortunate, fleshy butts and thighs tend to be sexy especially with a thin waist like yours. It gives you a Monroe-ish figure ^^ don't hit the gym too hard though, you wouldn't want to mess up those smooth curves of yours!
your* shape
Nice! Interesting.

Judy Ross, AAMS
Wealth Manager
Phone: 770 345 8008 Ext 203
Fax: 770 345 8896
E-mail: email@example.com
Judy is the managing principal for the practice and a recent recipient of the "Top 50 Independent Broker/Dealer Women Advisors" by Registered Rep.1 In addition, she was profiled in the August 2013 issue of Forbes as one of Georgia's Financial Leaders. As of June 2014, Judy manages more than $170 million in assets.
Judy's career path has been nontraditional in the fact that she did not rise through the ranks of a brokerage firm. She earned an accounting degree from Clemson University and spent 12 years in banking. She started in lending, where she began earning her advisory licenses. Within a few years, she was promoted to an executive level where she was responsible for creating a banking segment to match the needs of businesses. Judy realized that she missed the personal interaction with customers, so she continued to obtain additional licenses to make the move to the investment management side of the financial arena. She opened a brokerage office in 2001, during one of the most tumultuous times in U.S. history. Her mantra was and continues to be, "The risk has changed, has your strategy?"
Judy has earned her Accredited Asset Management Specialist designation (AAMS). She also holds series 6, 7,9,10, 63, registrations as well as life, health, and accidental death insurance licenses. She is licensed in 19 states across the nation.
Judy is a five-time recipient (2009 - 2014) of the Five Star Wealth Manager Award for Atlanta, which recognizes the top wealth managers in client satisfaction.2 .
1Top 50 Independent Women Advisors was assembled by Meridian-IQ, in which Penton Media is an investor. Advisors are ranked by assets under management, effective September 30, 2011. Only those advisors for whom a majority of assets correspond to retail clients were eligible for the list. Meridian confirmed its data with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, Merrill Lynch Global Wealth Management, Wells Fargo Advisors and UBS Financial Services.
22013 Survey conducted by Five Star Professional, an independent third-party research firm, who received 18,400 nominations among all wealth managers in the Atlanta area from peers or firms and evaluated the nominees based on 10 objective criteria including client retention rates, client assets administered, firm review and favorable regulatory and complaint history. 550 Award Winners were named 2013 Five Star Wealth Managers which represents less than 4% of the total wealth managers in the area. The Five Star award is not indicative of the wealth manager's future performance. For more information: See http://www.fivestarprofessional.com/awards/wealth_manager_program.php.
2010 – 2011 Five Star Wealth Managers scored highest in overall satisfaction based on surveys conducted by Crescendo, a third-party research firm who evaluated feedback from clients, peers and industry professionals. Scoring based on criteria, including customer service, integrity, knowledge/experience, recommendations and overall satisfaction. Selected are the top scoring candidates representing less than 7% of their market. The rating is not representative of any one client's experience as the rating reflects an average, or a sample, of all client experiences, and is no guarantee as to a client's future investment success or an advisors selection or performance in the future.

text: Cyrus 15 Jay Duplass, Mark Duplass (2010) US 87 min Facebook Twitter Google Tumblr Pinterest Blogger Reddit VKontakt Print Email Play clip Film Review Reviewed By Damon Wise 4 out of 5 A love triangle of the weirdest kind lies at the heart of this dark but refreshingly kind-hearted romantic comedy. John C Reilly plays John, the underdog lead, a man still pining for his ex-wife (Catherine Keener) when a chance meeting at a party introduces him to single mother Molly (Marisa Tomei). Molly is interested, and John can't believe his luck ("Are you flirting with me? I'm like Shrek!" he roars), but the relationship is tested when John meets Molly's owlish 20-something son, Cyrus (Jonah Hill). At first, the "child" seems welcoming and warm, but from the day John can't find his shoes, he begins to suspect that Cyrus has a hidden, sinister agenda. He's right, and the battle of wits that follows is both funny and human, with a rewarding, upbeat and emotional pay-off that makes a welcome change from the increasingly irony-enriched fare we've come to expect. Plot Summary Romantic comedy starring Marisa Tomei, John C Reilly and Jonah Hill. Seven years after the break-up of his marriage, things finally seem to be improving for middle-aged, socially awkward John when he meets the attractive Molly at a party. But Molly lives with her grown-up son, Cyrus, and John soon discovers that he's unwilling to share his mother with anyone.

"Ok, Nude 3 by *opticverve is an arse shot. but its a very good arse shot! the goosebumps are adorable, the sheen on the skin is sensual and the angle is perfect. its one of those bums you itch to pinch, and brings to mind very ripe peaches! its not often i see a shot of another womans bottom that intrigues me as much as this one, i think that its playful and a lot of fun, i hope you like it to!" - said the suggester. And I did! ( Suggested by Lady-Twiglet and Featured by Helewidis )
Very Hot Ass !!! Also an Awesome photo with the water droplets !!!
love this
Noce bum click by gpood hsnm
That was a sweet capture, now, if you will excuse me.
You cannot scroll past this shot without stopping to say, "My God, that's nice!" If you did scroll past it, I bet you stopped and went back, didn't you?
"over the hills & far away..."
Hermosa toma! Gracias.
very nice picture
Gran toma! Gracias.
Perfect... beautiful photo!!!
great photo. you do nice work
Beautiful, nice picture, good texture.
You just have to like this! Probably you should,t; but you do..))
Very lush ! Wonderful Close up with the detail of the skin and water drops. super lighting too !
nice and wetly
Thats a sexy pic
Interesting session. I wonder if the model felt comfortable.
I am very professional on all my shoots and would never ask a model to do anything that might make a model uncomfortable. We had a lot of fun on this shoot and she has recently requested a 10 year reunion to do some more. We have remained friends and worked together many times. So yes, I believe she was perfectly comfortable.
Wanna bite more than pinch
can i ask who is the model?
Sorry for the late reply.
I'm afraid the model has elected to remain anonymous. She is a nationally ranked tennis player is all I have agreed to disclose and she doesn't want publicity for this shoot.
But thanks for the enquiry.

I thought this was a peach at first--
Very nice!
Geeeeeezuuusss Khrist!!!
really...really..really an amazing capture...
Thank you. Needless to say, the model was the inspiration.
but still.. the photographer need to be very talent and have a killer skill of photography to capture the moment (if you missed just one second or missed the right lightning, or missed the amount of water drops, or not in the right pose..it could change this awesome art into a mediocre art)....yeah i started blabbering..anyway i am just saying that i am amazed with your skill and art sense...thumbs up dude...
Thank you.
I will be fortunate to work with this model again next month. Ten years after our last shoot and she's still got it!

IS RSM TENON a good business?
Obviously Baker Tilly thinks so. Or at least one with potential.
Without having to carry RSM Tenon's full Lloyds debt burden on its own books, on the face of it the deal becomes more compelling. Indeed, the RSM Tenon executives have led a big restructuring at the business which saw it entering a period of relative operational stability.
It will be interesting to see whether RSM Tenon CEO Chris Merry considers the deal a 'success'. It will certainly secure many people's jobs, but won't look too hot on his CV.
Let's not forget the long-suffering shareholders who are out of pocket.
While Merry and the other directors were unable to reconcile the debt issue with Lloyds, Baker Tilly has been able to swoop in. As Merry said to Accountancy Age on his appointment last year, "a people business is about confidence". Many of their partners, shareholders and financiers lost confidence.
And there is more dirty work to do, which will fall into Baker Tilly's lap.
RSM Tenon has been haemorrhaging partners, and Baker Tilly's intervention doesn't mean that process will end. Indeed, it will want to see if anyone's hanging around that needs 'retiring'. And the cost of pushing people out of the door, looking at office mergers and bringing together back-office functions and systems is painful.
Ask Grant Thornton about its post-RSM Robson Rhodes shenanigans.
And, speaking of RSM, the international network faces another search for a UK incumbent.
UK mid-tier firms face succession planning issues, a stagnant market with too many players, plus big and small firms encroaching into their space.
It has been predicted for many years, but now the time has come for change. The BDO/PKF and Baker Tilly/RSM Tenon deals will not be the last.
Firms will live, and firms will die. But at least things will be different.

- Same with the gunwalking story about the Obama JD. The teabugers and repugs, when Obama first got elected, thought Hillary was going to come and take their guns away. So they went out and bought hundreds of millions in new guns and ammo. Tell me that's not true. S&W, Remington, Winchester stock shot up 20 points. When nothing happened, their wives made them sell their new guns and ammo. But there were so many guns, the only place they could sell them was at gunshows, where the Mexicans bought the guns and ammo and sent them to Mexico. After the guns were sold, the repugs and teabugers started the gunrunning rumor in an effort to discredit Obama and his JD. The story was picked up by Issa, and he has hounded the JD ever since.

If it really was proven it would be literally on the same level as Watergate. We all know how that ended and as evil as I believe Obama is I don't think he is stupid enough to take that big of a chance.
- OOOPS ! I didn't read it first. But I still stand by my post.
- Mark DeBarbieri 2012/08/11 17:59:52YAY! [explain].+2I am pleased that a doctor found the device and not surprised as to how it got there. There is so much technology out there that we do not know about, with the exception in some circles, to which I belong. There has been in existence a hand-held device that can make anyone have a heart attack... the prefect murder weapon. It used to have a range of only 30 feet, for which a man I know of was confronted with someone that was about to pull this device out and use it on him. The almost victim was a research physicist that researched free energy devices and methods. The device has since been improved and now has a range of 200 feet. I have a personal friend that died suddenly of a heart attack and I firmly believe that he was attacked by this device, only because he was a minister that talked about a shadow government, black helicopters, etc. The "Powers That Be" saw the need to shut him up and I firmly believe that George Carlan was also killed by this same device to shut him up about his rantings about the government.

SJG 2012/10/13 03:55:34The "Powers That Be" have no scruples and will kill hundreds if necessary to get one target, which happened when that Korean Airliner was shot down to get rid of one U.S. Senator in 1983. The list is long, but note; JFK, RFK, MLK, Sonny Bono, it was made to look like an accident. Bono was working on some legislation that did not sit well with the Illuminati. There is no such thing as a coincidence when it comes to politics. Always remember this axiom; anything political is planned.

Upton 187 Crew and Fox4 Paintball Sign with G.I. Sportz for 2014
- Updated: December 4, 2013 at 7:00 PM
Shortly after the conclusion of the 2013 season, the scrappy team from the Northeast has made a huge change for their upcoming season. Upton 187 Crew and their home field, Fox4 Paintball, will now be supported and sponsored by G.I. Sportz for the 2014 season. For the past several years, Empire and Upton had been in contract together, as they shot Empire paint and wore their soft goods. While Upton will continue to shoot Planet Eclipse Ego's and Geo's, they will now be dressed head to toe in G.I. Sportz pants, goggles, pod packs and jerseys while shooting G.I. Sportz paint.
"We're excited to sign with G.I. Sportz. Our collaboration will help drive us to a successful year," said Upton 187 Crew's Matt Darula. "G.I. Sportz products are always reliable and the best in the industry, we know exactly what to expect!"
"Fox4 Paintball and Upton 187 Crew are both examples of dedicated and hardworking organizations. G.I. Sportz is happy to have them both be a part of the family!," said Steve Rabackoff of G.I. Sportz.
If you recall, G.I. Sportz has had much to brag about in the past few seasons as the majority of the teams on the podium in the divisional and professional tournaments of the PSP have been teams they sponsor. In fact, every team that's won World Cup for the past four years has been a G.I. Sportz sponsored team, which is insane to think about. Upton hopes to join these respected teams on the podium in 2014 under the G.I. banner.
Here is the official release from G.I. Sportz:

The search for the perfect cupcake continues…
A few months ago, I sat down to figure out what kind of cupcakes I wanted to make for my family birthdays, and realized that there were only boy birthdays that month. All of them young boys. And I got really excited – wanting to do something that they boys would all love.
The problem is that I'm not super creative, and I couldn't think of anything. I thought of bugs, I thought of sports. But I couldn't pin down exactly what I wanted to do.
And then I saw some cupcakes on Flickr. (I can't remember where they are now!!) And I thought they were super cute!!
They had a racecar theme, but the cars were made from cookies. Since I'm not a cookie decorater, (not even really a cupcake decorater, but I try!), I decided to buy toy cars that the boys could keep and play with after the cupcakes were gone.
I think these cupcakes would have turned out just how I wanted if I would have bought smaller cars. I actually forgot to buy them, so I sent my husband to the store for me. He bought exactly what I told him to get, but I think that if I wouldn't have forgotten and gone myself, I would have realized that these cars are too big and I should look for something smaller. But regardless, I think they turned out kind of fun, and I know that I just need smaller cars next time!
There is no recipe this time around. Unfortunately, the cupcakes were not my favorite, so I'm not even going to take the time to type it up. (If you are curious, I used the Magnolia Bakery chocolate cupcake recipe that can be found all over the internet. They were quite underwhelming for me…) For the decoration, just cover the top of the cupcake with white frosting, then pipe the grass on the sides of each cupcake with green frosting. Use crushed oreos for the road, and top some of the cupcakes with cars. The perfect birthday treat for almost every boy!
21 Responses to Racecar Cupcakes
Ahhh so fun! Love it!
What a fun dessert, I bet the boys loved the cars!
Eeek on the quite underwhelming recipe. And it's so popular! Wow, thank you for your HONEST feedback.
Your decorating skills are amazing!!! Wow…truly impressive!
I bet they loved them!
Love this idea, and I definitely would've bought the cars too
These area adorable! My son loves cars, although he calls them trucks and he says it so cute but he would get the biggest kick out of these. Super cute idea!
They turned out super cute!! I love how they're a bit oversized. Perfect.
aw that stinks you didn't like them! at least they turned out super cute and i'm sure the kids got a kick out of them!
What a fun idea! Stealing this one for one of my boys bdays next year!! They'll love it!
This is so fun. You are more than creative to come up with these, Deborah! Even if you didn't like the cupcakes, they are adorable!
These are SO cute. I can't wait until one of my boys asked for a car birthday party so I can make them!
Aww so cute! I kind of hope I have a boy someday just so I can make these!
These are so cute! Perfect for any little boy & I have 2 of them
These are so cute. I have all boy siblings and cousins so these would be perfect for me to make for them!
These are adorable! I love that they get the car to play with when the cupcake is gone. If I could find little sprint cars, I'd make them for Father's Day.
Okay, these are darling! Jason's nephew is OBSESSED with cars so he is going to be over the moon when I make thes for him!
These are adorable and what a great party idea. Every little one would get a little souvie hot wheel. For not being a cupcake decorator, I think you did a phenomenal job.
I did something similar for my nephew's bday but did a big cake with Thomas trains! Oh and I have made the infamous Magnolia cupcake recipe before and I agree it was a huge disappointment! It totally turned me off the whole bakery and I didn't even go the last time I was in NYC (I made the cupcakes before I went) because I was so disappointed with their recipe.
I was curious if the cars got really gunky with frosting? I was thinking of doing something like this for my son's 2 yr birthday but was worried the cars would get really messy and never get all the frosting off/out of crevasses.

What is Transcendental Meditation?
The Transcendental Meditation technique is an effective way for anyone to relieve stress, gain inner peace and promote mind-body health.
According to the American Heart Association, the Transcendental Meditation technique is the only meditation practice that has been shown to lower blood pressure.
The AHA scientific statement* also reported the finding that lower blood pressure through Transcendental Meditation practice is associated with substantially reduced rates of death, heart attack and stroke.
The AHA scientific statement concludes with a recommendation that the Transcendental Meditation technique be considered in treatment plans for all individuals with blood pressure greater than 120/80 mm Hg.

In 1995, feminist leader Naomi Wolf called for a pro-abortion movement "that acts with moral accountability and without euphemism," noting that, "With the pro-choice rhetoric we use now, we incur three destructive consequences -- two ethical, one strategic: hardness of heart, lying and political failure." That hardness of heart was fully manifest in the profane video produced by the Center for Reproductive Rights celebrating the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade.
But let's go back to October 16, 1995, when the New Republic published Wolf's remarkably candid article entitled, "Our Bodies, Our Souls." Wolf made reference to "Dr. Joycelyn Elders's remark, hailed by some as refreshingly frank and pro-woman but which I found remarkably brutal: that 'We really need to get over this love affair with the fetus....'"
She explained that "Second Wave feminists reacted to the dehumanization of women by dehumanizing the creatures within them. . . . Yet that has left us with a bitter legacy. For when we defend abortion rights by emptying the act of moral gravity, we find ourselves cultivating a hardness of heart." And she urged that abortion must be treated with "grief and reverence."
In stark contrast with that attitude, the Center for Reproductive Rights released an online video which is so obscene that author Eric Metaxas writes, "When I first watched this ad, I thought, this HAS to be a spoof. It employs the ugly racial stereotype of a smooth-talking [black] predator celebrating his freedom to use women at zero cost to himself: Hey, baby, hook up with me—and then go have an abortion. Are they kidding? No; this was no spoof."
The "smooth-talking predator" is actor Mechad Brooks who sits in a chair holding a red rose in one hand and a drink in the other, saying to the camera (as if speaking to his spouse), "All these years so many people said we'd never make it. They've been trying to tear us apart. . . Put limits on you, on me, on us." And then, Metaxas notes, "he roars with laughter," a sardonic, mocking laughter at that.
"We're going to be standing right by your side, today, tomorrow, and the years to come," he continues. "Because that is how much you mean to me, baby." And then, once more, the laughter.

License scofflaw collects another caseStaff Report | October 12,2013BETHEL A 34-year-old Williamstown man who has been convicted of driving with a suspended license 10 times in the last nine years was allegedly at it again this week.
Vermont State Police say Kevin Joyal, who also has twice been convicted of drunken driving, was spotted driving a 2000 Subaru Outback south on Route 14 in East Bethel shortly before 4 p.m. Wednesday.
Police, who were familiar with Joyal and his criminal history, took him into custody, processed him at the state police barracks in Royalton and released him on a citation to appear in Orange County criminal court in Chelsea. The date was not made public.
Court officials say it wont be the first time hes been there. Six of Joyals license convictions can be traced to the Orange County courthouse, as can one of his drunken driving convictions.
Joyal was charged with DUI and driving with a suspended license after an October 2009 accident on Pirie Road in Williamstown when police claimed his blood-alcohol content was more than three times the legal limit.
According to court records, that license charge was dropped as part of a deal that involved him pleading guilty to drunken driving.
According to court officials, Joyal was first charged with DUI after a May 2004 accident on Reservoir Road in Orange.
They said the charge was amended to negligent operation.
Joyal was driving with a criminally suspended license at the time.MORE IN This Just InThis week saw the arrival of some subtle but important changes to Twitter, Instagram and Gmail.

Iowans are lucky to have what is widely regarded as one of the fairest redistricting processes in the country governing how the new Congressional districts will be drawn, the Republican said in a statement.
Most states draw lines for Congressional and state legislative districts in the state legislature and pass it the way any other bill is passed, subjecting the process to the partisan desires of those running the state legislature and the governor who signs the bill into law.
But in Iowa, the independent Legislative Services Agency draws up the proposal and submits it to the state legislature. The first plan must be submitted within a limited amount of time after the release of the official population count, but not before April 1. The districts must be roughly the same population, must include whole counties and should be reasonably compact. If legislators dont feel the map meets those standards, they can send it back to the agency twice.
Once the process is done, though, its likely the larger cities that anchor districts now will do so again. A district will probably be centered on Des Moines, where Boswell has a house. The Waterloo-Cedar Falls area, where third-term Democratic Rep. Bruce Braley lives, is likely to anchor another in northeastern Iowa, and the population bases of Cedar Rapids and the Quad Cities in the neighboring district of Democratic Rep. Dave Loebsack could form a foundation for another district. Braley said he anticipates population growth in the northeastern part of the state means his district is likely to grow.
Well have to see what the new map looks like, but realistically my district is probably going to move north to the Minnesota border, Braley told Roll Call. Its probably going to move west, and its likely to move south in some ways.
Boswell wouldnt speculate on whether new lines would mean he continues to represent Des Moines. He declined to say whether he would prefer a rural district more like the one he represented in southern Iowa before the last round of redistricting.
Everybody wants the capital city, whatever state youre in, he said.
Latham, who lives in Hampton, and Loebsack, who lives in Mount Vernon, told Roll Call in separate statements that they were disappointed to see the lost representation from reapportionment but plan to plow ahead in 2012. Loebsack said he is honored to hold his 2nd district seat and would be honored to represent new counties as well.
But in case squeezing five Members into four districts isnt enough, current Members may not be the only ones keeping an eye on the Congressional redistricting process. Rumors persist that former first lady Christie Vilsack, the wife of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, is calling Iowans about a potential run for Congress.
Its unclear from where Vilsack would run. Shes from Mount Pleasant, which is in Loebsacks district, but works in Des Moines. Her foundations office is across the hall from Boswells campaign headquarters.
Braley, who is rumored to be mulling a run for the Senate if Sen. Tom Harkin (D) retires in 2014, said he is taking the march toward the next election one step at a time.

Sorry long post from worried mommy.
We go to his 2 year well check and our normal pediatrician was not there. We saw a new guy. Now we have been through so much with our old Doc and the crappy one before her to get a DX for our DS. They had done a barium swallow almost 2 years ago and said that he had acid reflux. I already knew he had it and I knew that was the reason he was not gaining weight and would often lose it. I fought for the first 3 months of his life with our family practitioner to get him to do something but he just told me he did not think it was reflux then when my son was 3 months old the FP said my son would need to go into the hospital if he lost anymore weight...I told him to order the test. The Dr who did the test came out and told us it was very apparent Acid reflux. Good case closed now the FP will quit blaming me.Right? Well a month and a half later after fighting for him to give my son even a remotely normal dose of meds for his weight we got a new Doc. We got a pediatrician who helped us so much that now instead of 1 oz away from being in the hospital and in less then the 5th percentile my son is in the 25th for both height and weight. We discussed it with the pediatrician about 9 months ago and took my son off prilosec everyday and put him on an as needed for zantac. This works great most of the time he never even needs it but sometimes he has bad acidic diarrhea sometimes for almost a week and throws up a few days in a row. These things happen every couple months. I have seen the Doc about this and we just follow the advice to help comfort him, heal and protect his little bottom. We give him Zantac and it has helped a lot but not perfectly neither did the Prilosec. but he is better with the meds then with out and he is also better with little fruit and little to no real juice.even watered down. So I feel pretty sure this is GERD. I had it my whole life even as a child it runs in my family. Now this guy comes in and tells me the other docs(I have seen two others at this practice the one FP and the DXing Doc) are all wrong. That it is likely to be celiac Disease. It does run not in either gene pool and other then the diarrhea he has no other symptoms...What do I do. We are waiting for the labs to come back and oddly I worry it might be true. mostly just because it is such a hard thing to live with. There seems to me to be no merit to anything this guy said but should I be worried about it or get a second opinion?

1. Luck Reroll: 1 per session per PC
2. Call Redshirt! – Once per session any one player may call redshirt! when an attack or dangerous effect seems immanent. The attack or effect then automatically and mysteriously redirects to a minor NPC member of the ship's crew (the "redshirt"), which cannot be a non-crew member or a major NPC such as a villain or other character around which the plot revolves. Calling redshirt! is possible only if such an NPC is present. Any player may call redshirt! Regardless of their character's location or status, and this may only be called once in total per session. It must be called before the SM announces the damage or effect.

Dragonboat Festival
Ethan Knoepfle, center, 9, celebrates after his boat won the championship match during the Tucson Chinese Association's 2013 Dragonboat Festival on Saturday, June 15, 2013, at the Tucson Chinese Cultural Center, 1288 W. River Road. Kids squared off with balloon-propelled dragon boat races, while everyone dined on Asian-style hot dogs, Chinese tamales and Zongzi (sticky rice stuffed with meat and wrapped in bamboo). The annual festival commemorates the drowning death of patriotic poet Qu Yuan, when more than 2,000 years ago the Chinese people raced in boats to rescue the poet, scattering food in the river so he wouldn't go hungry.

Gov. John Kasich has done the impossible: United Democrats, Republicans and Independents. A solid majority of each views his tax-shift plan as bad idea.
Just one-quarter of Ohio voters support the proposal to slash income tax rates but increase the rate and scope of the sales tax, with support dropping and opposition skyrocketing once the plan's details are divulged, according to a new poll released today.
The poll found that 62% of Ohioans are opposed to the biggest suggested shift – paying for a reduction in state income taxes with an increase in the state sales tax.

Ex-Speaker Batchelder: A Tax And Take Phony
Recently retired House Speaker Bill Batchelder has long marketed himself as a fiscal hawk, legal scholar and a man of principle. Critics have long maintained he is none of the above. Last week he proved them right.
The man who led efforts to cut programs for the poor and taxes for the rich never championed the cause of ending double dipping – the practice that allows public employees to work long enough to qualify for a pension, collect it, then go get another public sectors job.
Batchelder, a Republican from Medina, has mastered the art of double-dipping.
He was a […]Full Story... →
Professional football and hockey, male-dominated institutions that celebrate professional violence, are suddenly and earnestly confronting their long-festering problems of family violence.
Too bad Ohio continues to do so little when confronted with politicians facing similar patterns of similar acts.
Back in 2011, Plunderbund took the lead in reporting a 911 call that Melissa Jordan made when her husband, state Sen. Kris Jordan, became violent.
A video showed Mrs. Jordan telling deputies, "This is not new, he's done this numerous times…. I can't tell you how many things he's busted and broken, destroying things in fits of anger" and she […]Full Story... →
Mark Kvamme Part Of Shady New Group Supporting Kasich's Presidential Run
It's no secret that John Kasich wants to run for president — again. He can't admit that now because he's running for re-election, and that's like asking Ohioans for their votes but telling them you have NO PLANS to serve the full term. So his allies (none more vociferous and vocal than The Columbus Dispatch) are talking a lot about his potential run and the mandate he's seeking and making all sorts of noises about what a fine nation we'd have if only Kasich's policies were in place.
To run, he needs to get re-elected governor. He also […]Full Story... →
Josh Mandel Receives Large Donations From FBI-Raided Charter School Founders
Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel told the Canton Repository that he wakes up every day and wonders "how we can create an environment for a vibrant and growing economy. One of the main challenges we face as a state, as the baby boomers retire, we are seeing a shortage of skilled workers in many important fields."
He made the comments while touring Brown Mackie College, a private, for-profit school.
Josh is a huge fan of for-profit educational endeavors, regardless of whether or not they turn out quality students or spend public money wisely. And some of those for-profit endeavors are […]Full Story... →
In today's Akron Beacon Journal, Doug Livingston managed to do what the state auditor, state superintendent of public instruction, member of State Board of Education of Ohio and the governor have not: Exposed hiring, financial and political irregularities at charter schools affiliated with Fethullah Gulen, a Turkish-born Islamic cleric.
Among the major findings:
Ohio taxpayers paid $914 million to Gulen-affiliated charter schools last year and scholl officials used much of the money to hire Turkish teachers and administrators with questionable credentials. The Gulen schools have expanded In Ohio, despite state audits dating back to 2002 that found thousands of public […]Full Story... →
More Lies From Team Kasich Over The Suarez Letter?
We have told you before that Gov. Kasich's mouthpiece, Rob Nichols, has a reputation for NOT telling the truth. The flap of the week is playing out alongside the ongoing trial of Ben Suarez, the North Canton businessman accused of asking politicians for political favors, then illegally laundering campaign contributions to them.
US Rep. Jim Renacci and Treasurer Josh Mandel have been getting the bulk of the bad press but Kasich finds himself in the hot seat over Nichols' initial denial of involvement, and his claim that the administration made it clear it could not help Suarez.
But the governor's own legal […]Full Story... →
Matthew Blair, a Dayton-area teacher who said he personally witnessed grade tampering at a charter school affiliated with the Turkish Gulen movement, is asking for an investigation after he learned that the scandal was apparently covered up by the state agency that is supposed to police charter schools.
In an email sent Monday to members of State Board of Education of Ohio, Mr. Blair said he witnessed exposed wiring, mold in the school building and school administrators tampering with standardized tests.
Rather than look in the matter, Ohio's top education officials launched a phony investigation, complete with instructions to those […]Full Story... →
From Fracking to Ben Suarez: Team Kasich's Continuing Pattern Of Lies
Gov. Kasich's mouthpiece, Rob Nichols, says he does not understand why so much attention is being given "to a plan that was not implemented for a policy that was never implemented," according to the Columbus Dispatch. The "plan" in question was one to allow drilling in state parks.
Rob, it's not just the "plan" that matters. It's the pattern of lying about the plan – and lying about lots of other important things, too.
This is the third time in four months that the usually Kasich-friendly Dispatch has called out Kasich over similar lies.

Wolfe, Wexner And Drive Capital
The Columbus Dispatch's bromance with Gov. John Kasich is obvious. At least to those reading the paper's coverage of him.
But there are now reports that some member or members of the Wolfe family empire are among the secret, early investors in DriveCapital, that questionable venture capital firm launched by Kasich's pals that got off the ground with $50 million from Ohio State's investment office.

Lack of web security will limit trading partnerships
The warning came last week from Gartner research director Ray Wagner, who said the main web security standard, WS-Security, was not designed to stand alone.
His comments will give added impetus to a group of IT security chiefs from FTSE 100 companies who asked for a new security framework to enable collaborative business arrangements with partners, as highlighted by Computer Weekly.
One of the group, Paul Dorey, director for digital security at BP, is approaching web services security through "radical externalisation", where groups of users are protected by their own firewalls and external security services. Dorey said this method would lead to a faster way to build secure web services.

Roger Waters
Rarely does one find a nugget of truth in reality TV — let alone in I Love the '80s. "If you never got high and watched The Wall, you were never a teenager," lectured one of the show's pudgy, ponytailed commentators when the Pink Floyd album came up on the VH1 show. But for a specific generation, The Wall — on film or on vinyl — really is a vividly memorable piece of pop culture. ("Comfortably Numb"? Pulling on a bong in the back of your friend's mom's station wagon. "Mother"? Your awkward, toothy first kiss.) Roger Waters has taken his rock opera back on the road at a full paranoid gallop. This isn't the first time Waters has resurrected a Pink Floyd masterpiece: 2006 found Waters on tour playing the sprawling Dark Side of the Moon. The Wall is a much more troubled, bombastic narrative, and the stage show is fraught with just as much delusion and neurosis as the album itself. The imagery has been updated with a geopolitical twist, but Waters' rendition treats The Wall like a sacred text in its faithful interpretation. Besides, little else needs changing: Waters' Big Brother visions are just as chilling — and apt — as ever.

Article: [Arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries with situs inversus and mirror image dextrocardia][Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We report a successful arterial switch operation for complete transposition of great arteries with atrial and visceral situs inversus totalis and mirror image dextrocardia in a 12-day-old infant girl. The aorta was located left side-by-side to the pulmonary trunk with a single coronary artery (mirror image of 1RLCx). After French maneuver, the posterior circumference of the neo-aorta was reconstructed. Then the coronary button was transplanted into the neo-aorta with a trap door technique carefully avoiding any twist and over-stretch. The neo-pulmonary trunk was reconstructed with an autologous pericardial patch and sutured to the longitudinal incision made into the left central pulmonary artery. The baby was discharged from hospital and has been doing well without any morbidity relating myocardial ischemia.
Article: Effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor on matrix metalloproteinase-9 activity in patients with Kawasaki disease[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 is thought to be involved in coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) in patients with Kawasaki disease (KD); however, MMP-9 inhibitors are not used clinically. This study investigated whether the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor captopril could inhibit serum MMP-9 activity using serum from KD patients in an in vitro experiment. In 7 KD patients, serum MMP-9 activity was measured using the MMP-9 assay kit 3 times: before and after intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) treatment, and during the convalescent phase. The effect of captopril on MMP-9 activity was also assessed using serum obtained before IVIG treatment. Serum MMP-9 activity was significantly higher during the pre-treatment phase than during the post-treatment and convalescent phases. MMP-9 activity during the pre-treatment phase was dose-dependently inhibited by captopril, and the IC(50) for MMP-9 was 500nM. The potency of captopril for MMP-9 inhibition was comparable to that for ACE inhibition. ACE inhibitor may be effective for preventing CAA formation in KD patients, especially IVIG non-responders.
Article: Involvement of Vascular Angiotensin II-Forming Enzymes in the Progression of Aortic Abdominal Aneurysms in Angiotensin II- Infused ApoE-Deficient Mice[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Angiotensin (Ang) II-induced abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in apoE-deficient mice has been used as a model of human AAA, but it has been unclear why the progression of AAA continues after stopping the Ang II infusion. The involvement of vascular Ang II-forming enzymes in the progression of AAA was studied. ApoE-deficient mice were infused with Ang II (1,000 ng/kg/min) for 4 weeks and evaluated until 20 weeks after the Ang II infusion. Just after and 20 weeks after stopping the Ang II infusion, the degree of AAA, as well as the ACE and chymase activities, was evaluated. An Ang II receptor blocker (candesartan, 30 mg/kg/day) and an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor (lisinopril, 60 mg/kg/day) were given for 20 weeks after stopping the Ang II infusion. The aortic diameter expanded just after stopping the Ang II infusion and progressed for a further 20 weeks after the infusion was stopped. Just after stopping the infusion, aortic ACE and chymase activities were significantly increased, but only the increase in chymase activity continued until 20 weeks after the infusion was stopped. Candesartan and lisinopril significantly attenuated aortic diameter expansion. The increases in vascular Ang II-forming activities were involved in the progression of AAA after stopping the Ang II infusion.
Article: Effects of chymase inhibitor on angiotensin II-induced abdominal aortic aneurysm development in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Chymase may play an important role in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) development through matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 activation. The purpose of this study was to determine whether chymase is involved in angiotensin (Ang) II-induced AAA development in apolipoprotein E (apoE)-deficient mice. In this study, Ang II (1000 ng/kg/min; vehicle group) or saline (saline group) was administered to 16-week-old, male, apoE-deficient mice for 4 weeks. To examine the effects of chymase inhibition on AAA development, oral NK3201 (30 mg/kg/day) was given for the same period as the Ang II infusion. AAAs developed at the suprarenal region of the abdominal aorta in the Ang II-treated vehicle group, but they were not observed in the saline group. On the other hand, the severity and luminal area of the AAAs in the Ang II-treated vehicle group were significantly suppressed by NK3201 treatment. MMP-9 activity was significantly lower in the Ang II-treated+NK3201-treated group than in the Ang II-treated vehicle group. Furthermore, there were significantly fewer monocyte/macrophage cells in the Ang II-treated+NK3201-treated group than in the Ang II-treated vehicle group. Chymase is involved in Ang II-induced AAA development in apoE-deficient mice.
Article: Role of Chymase-Dependent Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Activation in Mice with Dextran Sodium Sulfate-Induced Colitis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 plays an important role in the pathogenesis of colitis. Recent studies have demonstrated that chymase is involved in the conversion of promatrix metalloproteinase (proMMP)-9 to MMP-9. However, whether chymase contributes to the activation of proMMP-9 in colitis has remained unclear. In this study, we administered 5% dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) solution to mice for 7 days. At 7 days after starting administration, both chymase activity and MMP-9 activity were significantly increased. In extract from colitis in DSS-treated mice, MMP-9 activity was significantly increased after 8 h of incubation, but increased activity was almost completely suppressed in the presence of a chymase inhibitor, 2-(5-formylamino-6-oxo-2-phenyl-1,6-dihydropyrimidine-1-yl)-N-[{3,4-dioxo-1-phenyl-7-(2-pyridyloxy)}-2-heptyl] acetamide (NK3201). At 7 days after starting administration, intestinal length was significantly shorter in DSS-treated mice than in normal mice, but these changes were significantly prevented by NK3201 (10 mg/kg per day i.p.). Disease activity index and histological damage score were also significantly reduced by NK3201. The filtrated neutrophil number was significantly decreased by NK3201. Furthermore, NK3201 significantly attenuated not only chymase activity but also MMP-9 activity in DSS-treated mice. These findings suggest that chymase plays an important role in the development of colitis via MMP-9 activation.
Article: Inhibition of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Activity by Trandolapril after Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion in Rats[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We investigated whether an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor could inhibit matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activities in cerebral infarct lesions after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in rats. After placebo or trandolapril (5 mg/kg per day) was administered orally for 7 days, we permanently occluded the right middle cerebral artery. ACE activity in extracts from the infarct side of placebo-treated rats was significantly higher than that in extracts from the non-infarct side from 5 days after MCAO, though they did not differ at 1 day. ACE activities in extracts from both hemispheric segments in the trandolapril-treated group were significantly decreased compared with those in the placebo-treated group before MCAO, and this significant reduction persisted even at 7 days after MCAO. In the placebo-treated group, MMP-9 and MMP-2 activities in the infarct side were significantly increased at 12 h and at 1 day after MCAO, respectively. Trandolapril treatment significantly reduced MMP-9 and MMP-2 activities to 68.5% and 53.2%, respectively. Seven days after MCAO, the ratios of infarct areas to the hemispheric sectional areas in placebo- and trandolapril-treated rats were 55.4+/-2.1% and 30.9+/-2.9%, respectively, and this difference was significant. Neurological severity scores were significantly improved from 1 to 7 days after MCAO in trandolapril-treated rats. Cumulative survival in trandolapril-treated rats was significantly increased compared with that in placebo-treated rats. Thus, the inhibition of MMP-9 by trandolapril might be part of the mechanism that prevents cerebral damage after cerebral ischemia.

ABSTRACT: To clarify the clinical impact of influenza A on the development of febrile seizures (FS), consecutive FS patients brought to our hospital between October 2003 and September 2004 were prospectively surveyed. Patients infected with influenza A (influenza A patients) and those uninfected with influenza (non-influenza patients) were compared with regard to clinical characteristics of FS. Influenza infection was determined by rapid antigen test and/or serologically. Associations of influenza A with atypical findings of FS, including partial seizures, prolonged seizures, multiple seizures during the same illness, and 30-min or longer prolonged postictal impairment of consciousness (PPIC), were analyzed by multiple logistic regression. A total of 215 patients (47 influenza A and 168 non-influenza patients) were enrolled in the study. Age was significantly higher in the influenza A group (39.85+/-22.16 months vs. 27.51+/-17.14 months, P<0.001). Of 42 patients aged 48 months or older, which corresponded to the 80th percentile for age, 15 (35.7%) were influenza A patients, with a significantly higher incidence of such patients than in the subgroup of patients aged 47 months or younger (32/173, 18.5%) (P=0.015). On multiple logistic regression analysis, influenza A was independently associated with PPIC (odds ratio: 4.44, 95% confidence interval: 1.52-12.95, P=0.006), but not with other atypical findings. The positive association of influenza A with PPIC suggests that influenza may affect state of consciousness at the same time that it induces seizures with fever.
Article: Two cases of hyponatremic-hypertensive syndrome in childhood with renovascular hypertension[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We report two children with renovascular hypertension and fibromuscular dysplasia. They initially presented with severe hyponatremia, hypokalemia, polyuria, and transient proteinuria. This combination of symptoms is known to occur in patients with renovascular and malignant hypertension, and is known as hyponatremic-hypertensive syndrome (HHS), although it is considered rare in children. Since in both of our patients, the renal arterial stenosis was very severely or almost totally occlusive, we could not perform percutaneous transluminal renal artery angioplasty, and therefore nephrectomy was the only option. A histological study showed partial or complete occlusion with intimal hyperplasia and medial fibroplasia of intrarenal arteries such as the interlobular arteries. CONCLUSION: Both patients showed rapidly progressive renovascular hypertension and loss of function of the affected kidney. In order to preserve renal function in such cases, early invasive intervention appears to be necessary.

Well, you can't rely on the test to be a perfect representation of yourself (Fluttershy may be known for her Kindness, but that doesn't mean the others aren't as well); what you said is after all, a very kind compliment ^^ One I appreciate greatly
I have to agree with you mister. Another funny thought that I just had is that I've been watching you for some good time already, and I always loved your style, I wonder why I never dropped a comment. Or maybe I did I my bad memory is telling me otherwise.
