- The Print
- The Artist
Vibrant bursts of color hurtle with wind-tunnel velocity through the explosive artworks of Max Laigneau. While enlisted in the army during the Algerian War, he painted every evening in his room. Now the artist draws inspiration from visits to museums, French comedy and bohemian Montmartre quarter of Paris though his brilliant colors often eclipse his subject matter. Hailing from Caen, France, Laigneau is now one of the most prominent painters in contemporary figurative art.

The snow conditions were the best and most 'Alpine' that I've ever seen in the Peak District. It's the only time I've ever seen anyone skiing in the Peak too - we watched a couple skiing all the way down from the summit of Lose Hill to the road on way appeared to be perfect powder.

Vicon reported record sales of new and upgraded motion capture systems at the close of the first half of fiscal year 2003. The impressive sales figures included new system installs at customer sites worldwide in biomechanics, medicine, film, VFX, game development, broadcast, education, engineering and government market sectors. The sales period, tallied through March 2003, represents the best six months in the U.K.-based company's history.
What immediately stands out was the high number of new customers in Europe, the U.S. and Asia who came to Vicon as previous owners or operators of other brands of motion capture equipment. This was sparked by robust offerings such as Vicon's expanded line of cameras and Vicon iQ, the company's powerful new motion capture data processing software. Many existing Vicon users, as well as users of alternate systems, additionally upgraded to the latest in Vicon technology.
" We recorded a growth in excess of 40% in the North American market where we typically face the strongest competition," explained ceo Julian Morris.
In entertainment markets, new and existing Vicon clients such as Artem Digital, Gearbox Software, Hypnotix, International Game Technology, Rearden Studios, Rhythm & Hues and Sony Pictures ImageWorks are upping the ante of production for feature films, gaming and animation by installing and updating their Vicon motion capture toolsets. The latest Vicon innovations include the Vicon 6 system with new, low-cost Vicon VCam cameras. Coupled with Vicon iQ, an intelligent, automated realtime software application for editing and processing captured data, Vicon 6 with VCams makes motion capture practical and accessible for smaller studios and independent developers by offering a motion capture setup that can be run by a single operator in a space as small as an office or conference room.
Vicon further solidified its position as the principal provider of motion capture systems for clinical, research and sports applications. Looking for lower-cost, user-friendly systems, hospitals and universities upgraded or bought Vicon systems for a variety of biomechanics applications, including gait analysis, orthopedics, rehabilitation and neurology.
New customer sites in these fields include Georgia Tech, NYU, University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign, Oregon State University, University of Tennessee/Knoxville, University of Florida/Jacksonville, Virginia Tech, University of Virginia, Boise State University, University of Pittsburgh, Cornell University, Washington University, University of Tokyo, Sungkyunkwan University (South Korea), University of Bologna (Italy) and Wichita State University. Hospitals upgrading their Vicon systems include Veterans Hospitals in Seattle and Long Beach, Shriners Children's Hospitals in Philadelphia, Salt Lake City, Spokane and Erie, National Institutes of Health, Children's Memorial Hospital Chicago, Musgrave Park, Belfast (U.K.), and Guys Hospital London. Internationally, numerous medical facilities installed new Vicon solutions, including Yokohama City Hospital (Japan), China Medical College Hospital (Taiwan) and UMR Luminy Marseille (France).
Expanding its support for scientific and engineering applications, Vicon introduced systems specifically tailored to track motion within immersive virtual reality and other environments. These systems, which can be configured to include Vicon's new super-compact SVCam cameras to track data even in tight confines, have been adopted as a cost-effective solution for virtual prototyping and design at a number of leading automotive companies, including John Deere Dubuque Works, Kawasaki, Nissan and Toyota.
Vicon Motion Systems is a subsidiary of OMG with global headquarters in Oxford, U.K. and U.S. headquarters in Lake Forest, California.

A teen accused of hiding a murder suspect in his home has pleaded guilty.
Jerel Couch, 19, was arrested in January on accessory to first-degree murder charges. He pleaded guilty Tuesday to accessory to a crime, a class 5 felony.
Couch is accused of hiding 17-year-old Macyo January after he allegedly killed a Fort Carson soldier and his pregnant wife during a burglary on Jan. 14. Police say the couple surprised the suspect, believed to be January, who then opened fire on the pair.
The victims were identified as Staff Sgt. David Dunlap and Whitney Butler. January has been charged as an adult for the crime.
Investigators say Couch is not believed to be involved with shootings, only hiding January afterwards.
Couch will be sentenced in September. The accessory charge carries up to three years in jail, but because of his age at the time of the crime, he will be eligible for youth intervention programs, meaning he might not serve any jail time.

Dolly Parton's "Blue Smoke – The Best Of" Album Jumps to #3 in it's Fifth Week On Official UK Chart; Glastonbury's "Doggy Parton" Reunited with Original Owners
Locarno, Switzerland – Dolly Parton, the most honored female country performer of all time, will be bringing her Blue Smoke World Tour to a close on Monday night as she takes the stage in Locarno, Switzerland. The Blue Smoke World Tour kicked off in January with concert performances in the United States before heading to New Zealand and Australia. Additional shows in America preceded Dolly's European shows, which took her to Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland.
"Well first of all we've had an absolutely wonderful world tour. Everywhere we've been, the audiences have been great, and the fact that we are closing out in Switzerland is absolutely great. And they say it's one of the most beautiful venues that we'll play - it's an outdoor show - we're looking forward to that, and we couldn't end on a better note. I'm SO looking forward to that. That's gonna be a great way to end it and a great way to head home and hopefully that'll be our best show yet", says Dolly Parton.
In addition, Dolly had made recent media headlines with her offer to adopt "Doggy Parton", the dog that was abandoned at the Glastonbury festival. The Happy Landings Animal Shelter have reunited "Doggy Parton" with its original owners. Dolly comments here as the story comes to a happy ending.
"We got a call from the main people with the government and they told us that the true owners did come forward," says Dolly. "There was a language barrier; I think they were from another country. They got the dog back so I don't get to take her home. I was looking forward to it."
Dolly Parton's latest UK album release Blue Smoke – The Best Of, continues to be a fan favorite as Dolly moves up to #3, her all-time highest album chart position, on the UK official chart. Dolly originally debuted on the chart five weeks ago at #6, which at the time was her highest ever album chart position.
Blue Smoke – The Best Of, includes her latest studio album Blue Smoke featuring "Home", "Blue Smoke" and new duet with long- time collaborator and friend Kenny Rogers and even a Bon Jovi cover! Alongside her greatest hits on disc 2 featuring the classics such as "Jolene", "9 to 5", "Islands in the Stream", "Little Sparrow", "Here You Come Again" and "I Will Always Love You" plus many more.
Dolly has achieved 25 RIAA certified gold, platinum and multi-platinum awards, she has had 25 songs reach number 1 on the Billboard Country charts, a record for a female artist. She has 42 career top 10 country albums, a record for any artist, and she has 110 career charted singles over the past 40 years. All-inclusive sales of singles, albums, hits collections, paid digital downloads and compilation usage during her Hall of Fame career have topped a staggering 100 million records worldwide. She has garnered 7 Grammy Awards, 10 Country Music Association Awards, 5 Academy of Country Music Awards, 3 American Music Awards and is one of only five female artists to win the Country Music Association's Entertainer of the Year Award.
As a zenith crown to the dreams of country music that originally brought her to Nashville, Dolly was inducted as a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1999.
Dolly's career has spanned nearly five decades and is showing no signs of slowing down. An internationally-renowned superstar, the iconic and irrepressible Parton has contributed countless treasures to the worlds of music, film and television. Some of her hit films have included Nine to Five, Steel Magnolias, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and Rhinestone. Parton received two Oscar® nominations – one for writing the title tune to Nine to Five and the other for "Travelin' Thru" from the film Transamerica.

Comments about All Other Brands|Minuteman/Achla Designs Eucalyptus Bar Table and Chairs:
The Eucalyptus Bar Table and Chairs is used on an indoor back porch. The porch has windows that were installed high ( 30 inches), so this order consists of a special bar height or 42 inches. That made an unused room into an active place to relax with friends, enjoy being outside without the weather being a problem. The best part of the Eucalyptus Bar Table and 2 Chairs is the quality of the product itself. The wood is sleek and very appropriate for the rustic decor of the room itself. It is visually pleasing and especially inviting to guests. The only thing that falls on the negative side of this order is that I am spending more relaxing time outside now on the back porch, which means I am learning to relax and THAT means some of my indoor chores suffer, but I hope to soon find better balance. I looked long and hard for the table and chairs that would just right for the space. I am more than pleased with my order.

She is just 33, but Narayani Shastri is playing a mother to a grown up girl in forthcoming TV show "Phir Subah Hogi". The actress explains that she takes up the best options from whatever is available.
"I have a very limited thought process. I don't think what the audience will think or where the project in the bigger picture lies. I follow my gut instinct and get started," Narayani told IANS.
She has spent over a decade in the industry and rues that makers just follow a pattern and that she has to choose from available options.
"TV industry in India has always followed a pattern. Either there are saas-bahu serials or stupid comedy shows. Now it is the regional tale. If a person makes a show, it works and then others follow," said Narayani.
"I don't like this but I cannot sit like a princess and ask them to make a good show, then only I will work. So I am just taking up the best option," she added.
Last seen in "Namak Haraam" on Real TV as the lead, she will pllay Raai dancer Gulabia in "Phir Subah Hogi", which is said to be based on the real life story. The show will go live on Zee TV April 17 and narrate the story of the Bedia tribe of Madhya Pradesh's Bundelkhand region.
Narayani considers herself lucky to get the role where she could challenge herself as an actor.
"After doing an amazing project like 'Namak Haraam', I just could not make myself do a saas-bahu. But I liked my character, the storyline is good and moreover, the project challenged me in every possible way - the language is different, the character is also very strange, the look is so different," she said.
In the show Narayani's character is caught between the whirlpool of societal norms and her daughter, who wants to break free from all customs.
The actress made her TV debut on Doordarshan with "Kahani Saat Pheron Ki" and later went on to do shows like "Piya Ka Ghar", "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi" and "Mamta".
The actress admits she is not a method actor and added: "I don't sit and think that I will move my hands and give a particular kind expression. There are actors who do that, I don't because that confuses me. I read the script and be natural when I shoot a scene."

HowTo: Get rid of Snails
If you don't have snails and want to keep it this way this thread might be better for you: http://fishforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=91351#91351
There are several options for getting rid of snails.
1. Poison (We don't like this.)
2. Fish (Can be costly and your tank has to be big enough)
3. Lettuce¿ (I like this method)
1. You can buy poison at any LFS (Local Fish Store) that will hurt your snails and eventually kill them. But it might also hurt your fish. Especially if you have fish that don't have scales. I would not suggest poisoning your tank.
2. Fish are a great way to keep the snail population in check. There are several fish that love to dine on the delicious snails. The best fish for a community tank is the Clown Loach. This fish is not only great at killing and eating snails, he is also pretty!!
Clown loaches should be kept in groups of at least 6. And require tanks of at least 75 gallons. These fish should be researched before adding to your tank.
3. Poison is not the way to go, and clown loaches can be expensive. So what do you do? This won't eradicate your snails but it will lower their numbers. Get a brand new empty salt shaker. Put some boiled lettuce in it. Leave it in your tank for 24 hours. Fish the salt shaker out throw away the snails and the lettuce and start over.. Eventually you will only be trapping 1 snail at a time and you can slow down to 48 hours... weekly. etc. But to begin with you will catch lots!! This will keep them under control. You need to leave leave the top off of the salt shaker. Please don't use a used salt shaker.
Clown loaches aren't exactly the best fish for use. These are potentially big fish despite being slow growers. 75 gallons is the minimum tank size when keeping 5-7 of them. You'll have to upgrade eventually or risk stunting their growth.
Other alternatives and are even better.
1. Botia almorhae
2. Botia histrionica
3. Botia striata
4. Botia kubotai
5. Botia rostrata
6. Yasuhikotakia sidthimunki
7. Botia dario
There are many other botiine loaches although several of them are not suitable community fish due to space and aggression issues.
The use of chemicals containing copper sulfate and stripping down of tanks are downright inadvisable. Controlling the population of snails is a matter of controlling your feeding rations and improving tank maintenance.

600 People Are Working on Resident Evil 6
Capcom has posted a version of the Resident Evil 6 announcement trailer that has an introduction by Hiroyuki Kobayashi, and he says that more than 600 people have worked on Resident Evil 6, with 150 of those being at Capcom HQ in Japan.
For perspective, know that about 300 people worked on Black Ops. So Capcom is clearly anticipating that RE6 will be the mother of all blockbusters this fall.
God, that's such a ridiculous number. 600 people! Damn.
If you're curious what else Kobayashi had to say, I've embedded the video below for you.

A match made in heaven?
We often get asked the same questions by guests on numerous topics, but one of the ones that seems to be of most interest is how we manage to work together and live together 24/7 without killing one another. We like to joke that while most couples have a 40-hour work week apart, we don't, and therefore our 15 years of marriage is more like 23 in "innkeeper" years ... but the reality of it is that we have worked together for almost as long as we have known each other. First while we dated at a sandwich shop; then while we lived in Las Vegas; and now here at the Chestnut Street Inn. It isn't always easy, but there are a few things we've learned along the way that may be of help to other couples, even if they aren't together all the time.

Hugh Vickery - 202/208-5634
June 10, 1998
Have you ever experienced the excitement of harvesting a banded game bird? Hunters who take a banded bird may wonder where the bird originated, how old it is, or whom to contact to report the information on the band. In the past, many hunters found it difficult to report their band recovery, while others simply didn't feel it was necessary.
To make life simpler and to improve the reporting rate of band recoveries, the U.S. Geological Survey's Bird Banding Laboratory, in cooperation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, recently placed a toll-free number on bird bands. Hunters can now call 1-800-327-BAND, or 1-800-327-2263, to report their recovery of a banded bird.
Hunters are welcome to keep the bands they report. When they make the call, they can find out where and when the bird was banded. In addition, each hunter who reports a band recovery will receive a certificate of appreciation that tells when, where, and who banded the bird.
The Service is responsible for establishing waterfowl hunting regulations. The banding program helps provide information about waterfowl movements, survival rates, and harvest rates that is critical to population management and setting of hunting regulations. The information provided by hunters is essential to this effort.
The banding of waterfowl is done under the auspices of the North American Waterfowl Banding Program, a cooperative effort among Federal, provincial, and state agencies, and private organizations.
Each year, approximately 380,000 waterfowl are banded across the United States and Canada.
Research conducted in the mid-1980s indicated that only a third of the bands on mallards were reported by hunters. This low rate of return represents a tremendous loss of information.
By reporting your recovery of a banded bird, you will not only assist the Service in managing the resource but also you could learn some interesting facts. For example, banding information collected at the Bird Banding Laboratory indicates that the oldest northern pintail ever recovered was 22 years old, the oldest mallard 23 years old.
Beyond longevity records, the Bird Banding Lab also maintains data on waterfowl movements, such as waterfowl banded in Russia that are recovered in the Central Valley of California, or a northern pintail banded in California that was recovered in Arkansas.
The help of hunters is needed for the banding program to be successful, and the Service
encourages all waterfowlers to report bands with the "1-800" number.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the principal Federal agency responsible for conserving, protecting, and enhancing fish and wildlife and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people.
The agency enforces Federal wildlife laws, manages migratory bird populations, restores nationally significant fisheries, conserves and restores wildlife habitat such as wetlands, administers the Endangered Species Act, and helps foreign governments with their conservation efforts. It also oversees the Federal Aid program that distributes Federal excise taxes on fishing and hunting equipment to state wildlife agencies. This program is a cornerstone of the Nation's wildlife management efforts, funding fish and wildlife restoration, boating access, hunter education, shooting ranges, and related projects across America.

Water Changes, By The Numbers
This might help us all to understand what it means when we change xx% of water xx times a week. It may not be totally accurate but is close enough to give a really good idea.
Please correct my numbers if you have better ones.
good find. i think i might steal this.....
Actually not a find, I worked this out myself but no bragging for me. I like spreadsheets and I use them a lot. After all, if I have a hard copy I don't have to remember so much. :idea:
I have checked and rechecked the numbers and so far it all comes out right. No one find any flaws?
So, does this mean if I do a 10% change 3 times a week, I am effectively doing a 27.10% change weekly?
You got it.

Woodland Hills
WOODLAND HILLS—An accidental fire on Saturday, March 29 injured one person and left two animals dead at a residence.
According to a statement from LAFD Spokesperson Brain Humphrey, firefighters responded to a one-story duplex in flames on
The 37 firefighters who responded were able to put out the fire in 13 minutes, according to Mr. Humphrey, but when they discovered the animals inside, they "proved beyond medical assistance." The woman suffered from mild smoke inhalation and a burn on her arm, and she was taken to a local hospital in fair condition.
The monetary loss to the property, which did contain working fire alarms, totaled $110,000, but firefighters were able to save part of the property in addition to preventing any direct damage from being dealt to the adjoining home. The cause of the fire was said to be a lit candle that managed to ignite some "flammable furnishings."

NOM's rather deceptive anti-Chafee ad
Timothy Kincaid
January 12th, 2011
The battle for marriage in Rhode Island has begun and the National Organization for Marriage has rolled out their first ad. Well, the rolled it out and then had to roll it back in because they misspelled Chafee's name, but it's back out there again with the correction.
The problem, of course, is that NOM is just about as honest as they ever are. Which is to say, not at all.
They tell us that Chafee only got 36% of the vote and imply that this means that only 36% of Rhode Islanders support marriage equality. But let's look at the vote totals:
Lincoln D. CHAFEE (IND)…..123,571 36.1%
John F. ROBITAILLE (REP)..114,911 33.6%
Frank T. CAPRIO (DEM)……….78,896 23.0%
Kenneth J. BLOCK (MOD)…….22,146 6.5%
Three Others…………………………..2,799 0.8%
But what NOM doesn't tell you is that Caprio and Block also ran on a pro-marriage-equality platform and one of t. In fact, two-thirds of Rhode Islanders voted for a candidate that pledged to support same-sex marriage.
They then do something that – if they had the ability to feel shame – would surely give them trouble sleeping. They compare Chafee's percentage of an three-credible-person race to the results from an entirely different race. To understand how dishonest they are being, you have to have some background.
In the race for Lieutenant Governor (in which Chafee was not a candidate), the Republican nominee pulled out and threw her support to perennial candidate Robert J. Healey, JR., the founder of the Cool Moose Party (a riff on Theodore Roosevelt's Bull Moose Party). She said that Healey agreed with her views on smaller government; and indeed Healey ran on a platform of eliminating the office of Lieutenant Governor. While NOM pretends that the Cool Moose is oh-so-amusing, it was actually the not-a-Democrat choice.
In a two-credible-person race with the Democratic candidate Elizabeth Roberts (and one minor party candidate), Republican-endorsed Healey got 39.2% of the vote. And it is that 39% that NOM compares to Chafee's 36%.
But NOM doesn't tell you that Liz Roberts, who got 54.5% of the Lieutenant Governor's vote has endorsed marriage equality and supports Chafee's efforts.
And they don't tell you that truthful people, honest people, don't try to fool you by comparing apples to pineapples. And, if they do, you don't get to distort the numbers by using big bold completely-bogus graphics.
Because not only can you not compare different races involving different numbers of contestants, but the number of voters who cast a ballot in the Governor's race was not the same as the number that voted in the Lieutenant Governor's race. 39% of the Governor's race is not 39% of the Lieutenant Governor's race.
In his two-person race, Healey the Cool Moose, got slightly more votes than did Chafee in his three-person race that night; 2,492 to be exact. But that isn't 3% of the vote like NOM's graphic pretends.
Now graphics representing the real numbers between the two would have not illustrated NOM's point very well, so they just used whatever they wanted. In other words, NOM behaved in a completely dishonest manner.
Why are we not surprised?
So here is my challenge to Maggie Gallagher in 2011: Maggie, I'm not going to ask you to stop lying. I'm not going to request that you take up honesty as way of life. All I ask of you now is that you stop pretending that you are on the side of God and righteousness and morality; it offends my Christian faith.

Ex-deputy gets 7-year term for burglaries
Thursday, June 21, 2012
POPLAR BLUFF, Mo. (AP) — A former southern Missouri deputy has been sentenced to seven years in prison for a series of break-ins.
Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster on Wednesday announced the sentence for former Oregon County deputy Dophes Barton. He pleaded guilty in March to four counts of burglary and four counts of stealing.
The crimes happened over a five-month period in late 2010. Koster's office says Barton broke into four buildings, including a Missouri Department of Transportation shed, and stole items that included an all-terrain vehicle, generators, chain saws and other tools.

Dry eye and contact lens wear is a popular topic with what appears to be an increasing number of patients. Jeff Sonsino, OD, recently sent me a case to review and discuss, and I sent it to several other members of the GP Lens Institute Advisory Committee who provided valuable insights into the management of this patient and the large number of others who suffer from dry eye.
Dr. Sonsino's patient had undergone LASIK and had been using Restasis (Allergan) for the past three months. Her vision was poor out of her bifocal GP lenses (20/40 OD with ghosting, 20/25 OS). Figure 1 shows the concurrent poor surface wettability with the right lens. She had plugged meibomian glands, trace frothing of the tears, 2+ conjunctival staining, and 3+ superficial punctate keratitis (SPK) OD and OS. She had tear breakup times of five seconds OD and four seconds OS. Her Ocular Surface Disease Index value was 69 out of 100, indicating moderately severe symptomatology.
Figure 1. Poor surface wettability on patient's right GP lens.
Dr. Sonsino aggressively managed her with hot compresses as well as a topical steroid. When minimal improvement was evident in one month, the SteriLid Eyelid Cleanser (Advanced Vision Research) daily eyelid hygiene system was added to her regimen. When she returned one month later, her SPK was greatly reduced and she was successfully fitted into a GP monovision correction with resulting vision of J3 OD and 20/20 (distance) OS.
Dr. Sonsino asked the same question anyone else would: what else could be done in cases such as these? It is evident that meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) needs to be treated before considering new lenses. As dry eye is a greater problem with post-LASIK patients, it is possible that MGD may be part of the formula for dryness in many of these individuals.
The recommendations provided by the advisory committee members included the following:
Another option if a patient remains symptomatic would be punctal plugs.
In December, I will discuss optimizing contact lens success in this and similar cases. CLS

So I skipped out on Game 2 of the Subway Series yesterday, getting a day off to watch my son's Little League All-Star Game, and I picked up the papers this morning to find that Jerry Manuel dismissed John Maine.
Is there another way to put it? Asked when Maine was going to pitch, where Maine was going to pitch, if he wasn't moving into the rotation — and he wasn't — and he wasn't going to the bullpen — he wasn't — Manuel joked, "The off days."
Funny line. But here's the one problem with that — the joke could be on Manuel very quickly. In my Sunday Page Two column, I asked the question of whether the Mets should pull the trigger on a deal for a pitcher. And I'd vote yes today now hearing that Maine is all but eliminated from the picture. The Mets are fine today — five pitchers all pitching well. But what happens when they're not?
It will happen. A pitcher will lose it — R.A. Dickey and Hisanori Takahashi certainly don't have history behind them — or a pitcher will get hurt. And right now, where do the Mets turn? It would have certainly seemed like Maine was the top candidate, but he sounds like he is out of their plans. Oliver Perez? Please. You like any of the Mets minor league staff to make the jump into a pennant race right now? No, me either.
So Manuel jokes, Maine gets disposed of, and then what happens? Well, what happened for me is the asking price just went up for a starting pitcher on the trade market.
Here's the lineup for today's Subway Series closer:

|"From the senior White House correspondent for The New York Times comes the definitive history of the Bush and Cheney White House. Taking readers into the offices of the West Wing and the cabins of Air Force One, Peter Baker tells the gripping inside story of the Bush and Cheney era. Theirs was the most fascinating American partnership since Nixon and Kissinger, an untested president and his seasoned vice president confronted by one crisis after another as they struggled to protect the country, remake the world, and define their own relationship along the way. Packed with revealing anecdotes and told with in-the-room immediacy, Days of Fire narrates two profoundly significant and conflicted terms marked by 9/11, Iraq, Katrina, jihad, nuclear proliferation, genocide, and economic collapse. George W. Bush was one of the most polarizing presidents of our time, jettisoning decades of foreign policy pragmatism to redefine America's mission as a crusade to bring freedom to the world. Yet his early dream of transforming Republicans into the party of "compassionate conservatism" and building an "ownership society" were dashed by two consuming wars and a devastating financial crash. At his side was Dick Cheney, the trusted adviser who became the most influential vice president in history only to watch as Bush drifted away, leaving the two at odds over a wide array of fundamental issues. Baker's interviews with more than two hundred players--White House aides, cabinet secretaries, generals, senators and congressmen, relatives and friends of both men--help reveal the truth of their complicated and shifting relationship. Days of Fire is the first book to capture in a truly defining way all eight years of the most consequential presidency in a generation"-- Provided by publisher.

Thursday, April 21, 2011
The Callaway County Ambulance District is adding two new positions in order to ensure its employees are better prepared to provide patient care.
During its regular meeting Tuesday night, the district's board of directors approved the creation of an ambulance training officer position and a supplemental field training officer position.
CCAD Director Charlie Anderson said the ambulance training officer — who will be hired in a salary range of $15.41 to $21.46, the same as shift supervisors — will be responsible for all of the district's internal training, supervising quality control and coordinating and teaching community education programs such as CPR and first aid.
"They will (also) be in charge of the district's field training program, which ensures new employees we hire are adequately trained and ready for duty in the field," Anderson said.
He said the ambulance district already has several employees who would be qualified for the job.
"I anticipate that position will be filled from within," Anderson said.
He said the field training officer position would be filled by an EMT or paramedic who would be responsible — in addition to their other duties — for making sure new employees are properly oriented and trained. The job would pay an additional 50-cents per hour over the individual's normal rate of pay when serving in that capacity.
Anderson said the decision to create these positions was generated from concerns by the employees themselves.
"With the field training position, we had at least two or three people we had hired recently and there had been concerns expressed by those folks that they didn't feel adequately prepared," he said.
Anderson said subsequent conversations with the employees who had been providing that orientation revealed that they agreed that it was inconsistent and would work better if there were a designated person to fulfill that role.
As for the ambulance training officer, Anderson said district officials had "discovered that we are not doing as good a job in making sure our staff is continuing education on skills and procedures and other things related to our field as they evolve as we would like."
"We believe that by hiring a person that that's their primary responsibility, that will get better," he said, noting there are certain skills that the district can use to measure whether the new positions are having a positive impact on employee performance.
"We're going to continue to evaluate that program and see if this is making a difference," Anderson said. "If we determine that it's not the right direction, we will certainly look at changing the direction if we need to."
In other business, the board also voted to allow Anderson to sign an agreement with the Missouri Center for Patient Safety.
"Basically that will allow the district to submit information regarding medical errors and ambulance accidents, and that information then becomes protected under federal law," Anderson said, noting this service currently is funded through a grant from the Missouri Foundation for Health at no cost to the district.
He said another benefit of the program is that as other ambulance districts across the state join, Callaway can compare reports.
"If, say, a certain medicine is always being given in the wrong dosage, we can pull out data and say this has happened statewide 10 percent of the time and it's happening here 50 percent of the time, so we can say we have a problem we need to fix," Anderson said. "This could give us ideas on how to fix things, and in the end should make patient care a lot better."

|An Inside Account of ACORN's Controversial 2008 Voter Drive
|News Releases - Media & Communications
|Written by Jamie-Lyn Markos
|Tuesday, 25 September 2012 07:54
Go behind the scenes of ACORN's controversial voter registration drive, which did almost as much to hurt as it did to help Barack Obama win the 2008 presidential election, in the new memoir Ring of Fire 2008: My Wild Ride to the Bleeding Heart of ACORN's Last, Greatest, Voter Registration Drive by Miguel Esteban.
Way back in Election '08—which, like every presidential election, was the most important ever—the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now collected over 1.3 million voter registrations and joined forces with a broad coalition to spread the good news of "quality, affordable healthcare for all Americans" to nearly fifty million potential voters deemed least likely to cast a ballot because they were poor, minorities, or the youth.
Miguel Esteban was one of them. A young, Puerto Rican-American, starving artist who walked in the door of Orlando ACORN looking for a part-time job, he went from zero to hero after blowing the whistle on a conspiracy to commit voter registration fraud in early 2008. Because of his efforts, news of eleven Miami ACORN workers forging voter registrations did not make headlines until after Election Day, and Esteban went on to become an unlikely political operative upon his promotion to the national ranks of ACORN's "PolOps" division—Project Vote—where his official job title was, no joke, Quality Control Czar #2.
What really happened during ACORN's infamous 2008 campaign? How widespread were the electoral shenanigans that prompted the FBI to investigate ACORN in numerous swing states? In this era of SuperPACs, secret money and Web 2.0 "voter targeting" technology, how nonpartisan are the nonpartisan campaigns unleashed by groups such as ACORN each election cycle? Can the now defunct ACORN family of organizations best be described as AntiPoverty, Inc.? Is it true that ACORN not only perpetrated widespread voter registration fraud, but also helped cause the housing meltdown that precipitated the Great Recession, and if so, why wasn't the organization bailed out by Uncle Sam? Were ACORN's "redshirts" communists? Un-American? Neo-progressives struggling to save America from itself?
Explore the answers to such questions and more in Ring of Fire 2008: My Wild Ride to the Bleeding Heart of ACORN's Last, Greatest, Voter Registration Drive; which is scheduled for a three-part release: Part 1, which is 80,000 words in length, is available now; Part 2 is scheduled for release in early October; Part 3 is scheduled for release in late October. The full version, including hardcover, is scheduled for release during the holiday season.

Nascar Crash Injures Dozens of Spectators
Sports & Recreation, National & World News
In a 12-car crash, debris from one car flew into the stands and injured at least 28 fans.
On Saturday, a 12-car crash in the last lap of a Nascar race at Daytona International Speedway became even more shocking when debris flew into the stands, injuring at least 28 people.
According to the Daytona International Speedway President Joie Chitwood, 14 people were brought to different area hospitals, and 14 others were treated at an infield care center at the speedway.
A spokesman at the Halifax Health Medical Center said that seven people were being treated there for injuries sustained from flying debris. Two spectators are in critical condition, and one is a child.
The crash occurred when the pack of drivers approached the finish line, and suddenly the No. 32 car driven by Kyle Larson went airborne. Larson's car hit the fence meant to protect spectators in the stands, and the front-end of his car was ripped off, including two tires. Metal shrapnel and both tires flew into the stands filled with Nascar fans.
One driver has already taken the blame for the accident, according to Nascar's website.
"My fault," said driver Regan Smith. "I threw a block. I'll take the blame for it. But when you see the checkered flag at Daytona, you're going to block, and you're going to do everything you can to be the first car back to the stripe. It just didn't work out today. Just hoping everything is OK, everyone who was in the wreck and all the fans."
None of the 12 drivers that were involved in the wreck – including popular drivers Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Brad Keselowski – were injured.
The accident took place the night before the season-opening Nascar race- the Daytona 500.

I did not actually see the accident, but have heard people talking about it. It must have pretty terrifying sitting there in the stands and see large parts of the cars come flying at you.

The Second Most Powerful Testimony in Favor of Equality (UPDATED)
Jim Burroway
March 12th, 2013
Timothy presented the most powerful testimony from a hearing held by a Minnesota House Committee. For your consideration, I present the second most powerful testimony from the same venue for our side — which just happens to be Mike Frey testifying for their side.
By the way, a Minnesota Senate committee was also holding hearings today on a bill to provide marriage equality to same-sex couples. The Senate Judiciary Committee approved the bill in a 5-3 party-line vote, and it will now go on to the full Senate. Marriage supporters believed that the Senate committee posed a higher hurdle than the House committee, which is expecte to vote later this evening. Full floor votes will likely be weeks or months away, as legislative leaders vow to press on with budget bills before taking up the measure.
Update: The House Civil Law Committee passed the bill this evening on a 10-7 party-line vote. The bill now advances to the full House, but is not expected to be voted on until much later in the legislative session.

Weed Heaven! :)
Mullein - without a doubt, one of my all time favorite herbs.
Leaves to dry and to tincture!
Mullein flowers, close up. Aren't they beautiful? They're a bit labor intensive to harvest, but it's a true labor of love. It's very calming and good for the soul. I'm going to tincture some, and make a healing infused oil with the rest.
Beautiful Sumac berries, jam packed with Vitamin C and makes a delicious lemonade!
Elderflower, a gorgeous cold and flu remedy, if there ever was one. I wouldn't be without this reliable remedy in my cupboard! The berries are ripening now, as well, and I'll be harvesting some this weekend for yummy elderberry syrup.
Elderflower, close up. Lovely.
Canada Goldenrod, so bright and cheerful! So very underappreciated, and one of my favorite remedies for upper respiratory congestion, among other things ... I look forward to seeing this wild beauty bloom every year in late Summer.
My husband and 4 year old daughter, harvesting Red Clover.
Bountiful Harvest! Some to dry, some to tincture ... another gem for the herbal medicine cupboard.
Stay tuned, and happy harvesting! :)

Lacto Fermented Sauerkraut
My lovely friend Melissa, and I had the pleasure of spending a weekend last October in beautiful Black Mountain, North Carolina, at the Southeast Women's Herbal Conference. During our stay we were introduced to a delightfully delicious treat known as lacto fermented sauerkraut. I believe it was our favorite food for the weekend!
Now, don't get me wrong ... I've made sauerkraut before. But *this* kraut, well, you'll just have to try it yourself to understand. Besides the immense health benefits it provides, lacto fermented kraut is fresh, crunchy, tangy, and I dare say more addictive (and better for you!) than potato chips. Cold or cooked, YUM. I am seriously sitting here eating a bowl of it right now, as I type this.
I'm not going to try and expound on lacto fermentation when you can read all about it from the master herself, Sally Fallon, author of Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats (with Mary G. Enig, PhD), a well-researched, thought-provoking guide to traditional foods. I couldn't possibly do a better job of explaining the process, so read for yourself and then feel free to enjoy the photos of my very own adventures in lacto fermented sauerkraut making!
The process I used is just the one that works best for me. I find it incredibly simple and satisfying and I hope you give it a try. I started with a wide-mouthed gallon-sized glass jar with lid, a gallon-sized zip-lock bag, large wooden spoon, and a potato masher. I used one large head of cabbage, 2 carrots & 1 medium onion (these are optional), 2 T. sea or kosher salt, and 1/2 cup whey. So here goes ...
I picked a large head of green cabbage from my garden, feeding the sad looking outer leaves to the cows and chickens.
I quartered the head to make it easier to handle, then sliced each quarter into 1/4 -1/2 inch strips. You end up with what looks to be a ton of cabbage. The first time I made this I thought there was no way all that was going to fit into my gallon jar! But wait ...
I then cut the strips into thirds.
I took two large carrots, scraped & halved, then processed them in my snazzy 1970's model food processesor.
Processed carrots.
Coarsely chopped one yellow onion.
Mixed everything together and added 2 tablespoons kosher salt (sea salt is best but I was out),
and 1/2 cup whey. Our milk cow is dry, so I hung 16 oz of plain organic yogurt in cheesecloth over a bowl in my fridge overnight and got a cup of whey from it. (The leftover yogurt cheese is delicious on crackers with red onion.)
Mixed everything well to coat all the veggies with whey & salt.
Then pounded the crap out of it with a potato masher, every 10 minutes or so for about an hour. This allows some of the natural liquids to release from the cabbage, wilting it down a bit and reducing the volume considerably.
Spooned it into my gallon jar. The canning funnel made this much easier.
It looked like I was going to have to add water to cover the vegetables, but a good smash with the potato masher crammed everything down into the jar, covering all with the natural liquids.
Put the ziplock bag into the jar, leaving the zip-top hanging out the top. Then poured water into the bag to within about an inch of the top, making sure the bag completely filled the space above the kraut. The weight of the water helps hold the veg down below the liquid. Lacto fermentation only occurs in an oxygenless environment, so remember .. no air in the veggies!
Sealed the lid, leaving the top of the bag hanging over the sides of the jar.
Let it sit on the counter in my kitchen for three days (needs to be kept around 72 degrees fahrenheit) then, ta da! Lacto fermented sauerkraut! You can eat it now, like me, but it only gets better with time. Kept in a cool dark place (Sally suggests 40 degrees ... I just keep mine in the fridge), it should keep for many months. I just can't seem to keep it for that long.
Come on. You know you want it ;)

Herbal Teas for Better Health
From a previous article I wrote on herbal teas:
Herbal teas, as well as being pleasurable to drink, can be used as a preventative measure. If drunk regularly, they can help to tone and balance the body. The transition to herbal tea (from your regular caffeinated tea or coffee) can be gradual. Lemon balm, lemon thyme, lemon verbena, apple mint, and peppermint all make incredibly delicious teas and also add lovely flavor to otherwise less than pleasant herbal preparations. Try to drink 3 cups of herbal tea every day, after meals (to prevent interference with gastric juices and hinder proper digestion). Sweeten your herbal tea with honey or sugar if you like. A slice of lemon or orange is another tasty addition. Here are a few common herbs for tea preparations, with associated indications.
Basil Leaves: Soothing, cleansing, diarrhea, poor digestion.
Calendula: Indigestion, skin troubles.
Catnip Leaves: Headaches, restlessness, menstrual pains, hyperactive children.
Chamomile Flowers*: Headaches, nervousness, & indigestion.
Chickweed*: Coughs, colds, weight problems.
Dandelion Leaves & Root*: Liver & kidney troubles, fluid retention, constipation.
Elder Flower: Chills, fever.
Fenugreek Seeds*: Cleansing, soothing, excess catarrh, increase breast milk supply.
Lavender Flowers*: Headache, nervousness.
Lemon Balm Leaves: Headache, insomnia, melancholy.
Lemon Grass: Skin troubles, high in vitamin A.
Mullein Flowers*: Coughs, inflammation.
Nettle Leaf*: Kidney trouble, fluid retention.
Oatstraw*: Dry, brittle hair & nails, excessive mucus.
Peppermint*: Flatulence, nausea, stomach cramps.
Plantain*: Colds, diarrhea.
Red Clover Flowers: Nervousness, cleanser, whooping cough.
Red Raspberry Leaves*: Profuse menstruation, great for pregnant and/or lactating mothers.
Rosehips*: Coughs, colds.
Rosemary: Circulation, nervousness, depression, headache.
Sage: Fevers, tonic, sore throat.
Thyme: Colds, indigestion.
Valerian*: Tension, headache, insomnia.
Yarrow: Colds, indigestion, fevers.
Basic herbal tea preparation instructions:
1 T. dried herbs
½ pint water
Place herb(s) into a non-reactive metal or enamel pot with a lid. Bring water to a boil; turn off the heat and pour the water over the herb(s). Cover the pot and let steep for 5 to 10 minutes. Strain through a non-aluminum strainer. Herbal tea may be enjoyed fresh and warm or chilled. Honey, lemon, or milk can be added, although milk tends to mask the delicate flavors. Refrigerated unused tea to prevent spoilage.
There are no definite rules for combining herbs in a tea mixture. Taste is a major priority! Aromatic herbs such as peppermint, fennel, mint, ginger, lemon balm and lemon verbena will all enhance the flavor of a bland tea such as oatstraw, or a bitter tea such as valerian (valerian has a VERY strong odor which is unpleasant to some).

May & June Gardening Calendar, Zone 7
Late again! Please accept my apologies, although this time I have a very good excuse, being that I gave birth (by c-section) three weeks ago ;) I'll post about all that later (baby Ella is wonderful .. healthy and happy). Right now I have a very long list of chores to complete before suppertime!
So here is May, even though more than half the month is gone, and June. I hope your gardens are thriving!
•Vegetable Seed - Plant heat-loving and tender vegetables. Start cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and celery in cold frame for fall garden.
•Vegetable Plants - Plant tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, and sweet potatoes.
•Control grass and weeds; they compete for moisture and fertilizer.
•Locate mulching materials for such crops as tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, Irish potatoes, okra and lima beans. Apply before dry spells occur but after plants are well established (usually by blooming time).
•Pole beans cling to the trellis or sticks more readily if attached by the time they start running.
•Try a few tomato plants on stakes or trellises this year. Now is the time to start removing suckers and tying the plants up.
•Watch out for the "10 most wanted culprits": Mexican bean beetle, Colorado potato beetle, bean leaf beetle, Harlequin cabbage bug, blister beetle, cabbage worm, tomato hornworm, tomato fruit worm (and corn earworm), cucumber beetle and squash bug. Early discovery makes possible early control. Follow the schedule given in Extension Circular 594, Control Vegetable Garden Insects, for control of corn earworm and pickleworm.
•Begin disease control measures as needed. Check with your county extension office for more information.
•Water as needed.
•Mulch as needed.
•Keep a log book of problems and failures that occur so you can avoid or prevent them in the next planting season. Note successful techniques and varieties for consideration next season.
•Make plans now for putting up some of your garden produce. Check with your county extension office for more information.
Note: This is a great time to lacto-ferment dandelion green kimchi.
•Vegetable Seed - Plant beans, field peas, pumpkins, squash, corn, cantaloupes and watermelons.
•Vegetable Plants - Plant tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and sweet potato vine cuttings.
•Harvest vegetables such as beans, peas, squash, cucumbers and okra regularly to prolong production and enjoy peak freshness.
•Eat "high on the hog" this month and in July and preserve enough to last during the winter months ahead.
•For best results, harvest onions and Irish potatoes when two-thirds of the tops have died down. Store potatoes in a cool, dark place and onions in a dry, airy place.
•Clean off rows of early crops as soon as they are through bearing and use rows for replanting or keep them fallow for fall crops.
•Water as needed.
•Plant sweet potatoes and a second planting of Southern peas.
This is when we can/preserve from our first planting of beans, peas, and squash. We also pickle cucumbers, peppers, and okra. Dehydrate strawberries and preserve strawberry jam. Pickle early baby beets, if possible. Freeze snap peas, dehydrate sweet shelling peas. Dehydrate greens (this is great for greens on the verge of bolting late in the month - they are wonderful crumbled up and added to soups). Dry onions.
Happy gardening! :)

March & April Gardening Calendar, Zone 7
It's time to really get moving! The garden is truly coming to life now and the chore lists are getting longer and more urgent. Spring is here ... let's get to work! :D
• Vegetable Seeds - Continue to plant hardy crops recommended for January and February.
• Vegetable Plants - Plant cabbage, onions, lettuce, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts in North Alabama.
• Thin plants when they are 2 to 3 inches tall to give the plants room to grow.
• Carry out any February jobs not completed.
• Treat seed before planting or buy treated seed for protection against seed-borne diseases, seed decay, seedling "damping off" and soil insects such as seed-corn maggots
• Early-planted crops may need a nitrogen side-dressing, particularly if the soil is cool. Place the fertilizer several inches to the side of the plants and water it in. A little fertilizer throughout the growing period is better than too much at one time.
• Before settling them in the garden, harden-off transplants - place them in their containers outdoors in a sheltered place a few days ahead of planting them
• Get rows ready for "warm-season" vegetables to be planted during the last week of March or first week or two of April as weather permits.
• You might want to risk planting out a few of the more tender crops and keeping them covered during bad weather.
• Watch out for insects, especially cutworms, plant lice (aphids) and red spider mites.
• Put down mulch between rows to control weeds.
• Move inside herbs out into the garden after danger of frost has passed. Make the transition gradually, allowing the plants time to harden off.
• Plant your choices of the following "warm-season" or "frost-tender" crops: beans (snap, pole and lima), cantaloupe, corn (sweet), cucumbers, eggplant, okra, field peas, peppers, squash, potatoes, tomatoes, parsley, and watermelon.
• Plant tall-growing crops such as okra, pole beans and corn on the north side of other vegetables to avoid shading. Plant two or more rows of corn for better pollination.
• After danger of frost is past (sometime by the end of this month), plant tender vegetables.
• Make a second planting within two to three weeks of the first planting of snap beans, corn and squash.
• Within three to four weeks of the first planting, plant more lima beans and corn. Remember: for better pollination, plant at least two or more rows.
• Be sure to plant enough vegetables for canning and freezing.
• Cultivate to control weeds and grass, to break crusty soil and to provide aeration.
• Maintain mulch between rows.
• Side dress earlier planted crops.
• Plant tender herbs.
• Remember: Do not work in your garden when the foliage is wet to avoid spreading diseases from one plant to another.
