The information contained within this post is taken from the NSW Food Authority Website. These are not recommendations written by EB and any choices you make in regard to food consumption are your own. This is only here to help as a guide line. Should you require more information, speak to your health care provider. You can view the full PDF file HERE or look at the NSW Food Authority Website.
What is Listeria?
Listeria is a type of bacteria found in some foods which causes a serious infection called listeriosis. It can take up to six weeks for the flu-like symptoms to occur and if transmitted to your unborn baby can lead to miscarriage, infection of your newborn and stillbirth. The best way to avoid this is through hygienic preparation, storing and handling of food. Ideally, you should eat only freshly cooked food and well-washed, (freshly prepared) fruit and vegetables. Leftovers can be eaten if they are refrigerated promptly and
kept no longer than a day.
These mostly chilled, ready to eat foods should be avoided altogether:
• Soft and semi-soft cheese (OK if cooked)
• Cold cooked chicken
• Cold processed meats
• Prepared salads
• Raw seafood
• Soft serve ice-cream
• Unpasteurised dairy products
• Paté
Salmonella can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, diarrhoea, fever and headache. Pregnant women are not at an increased risk of contracting salmonellosis, but in rare cases it may trigger miscarriage.
So it's advisable to avoid foods that contain raw egg and always cook meat, chicken and eggs thoroughly.
In addition, the NSW Food Authority recommends that pregnant women do not eat any type of sprout (including alfalfa sprouts, broccoli sprouts, onion sprouts, sunflower sprouts, clover sprouts, radish sprouts, snowpea sprouts, mung beans and soybeans) either raw or lightly cooked.
Other food risks
Toxoplasmosis while uncommon in pregnant women can occur if you eat the garden. It is particularly important to avoid toxoplasmosis during pregnancy undercooked meats, or unwashed fruit and vegetables (particularly from gardens with household cats). Most commonly, however, infection is caused by touching cat and dog faeces when cleaning the kitty litter tray or contaminated soil in because it can lead to brain damage or blindness in your unborn child.
Tips for avoiding toxoplasmosis:
• Don't eat undercooked or raw meat
• Don't drink unpasteurised goat's milk
• Don't handle cat litter
• When gardening wear gloves
• Always wash your hands after
touching animals
Mercury in fish
Fish are rich in protein and minerals, low in saturated fat, and contain Omega 3 Although it's really important to eat fish during pregnancy and breastfeeding, you need to be careful about which fish you choose. That's because some fish may contain mercury levels that may harm an unborn baby or young child's developing nervous system. fatty acids. Omega 3 fatty acids are important for the development of the central nervous system in babies, before and after they are born.
The following table will help you safely include fish as an important part of a balanced diet.
Eat 2-3 serves per week of small fish. Fish should be small enough to fit on a plate.
Examples: Mackerel, Silver Warehou, Bream, Snapper, Trevally, Whiting, Flathead,
Kingfish, canned Tuna & Salmon, Herrings, Sardines, shellfish, Lobster, Octopus
1 serve per fortnight of Shark (Flake) or Billfish (Broadbill, Swordfish and Marlin)
and no other fish that fortnight
1 serve per week of Catfish or Orange Roughy (Deep Sea Perch)
and no other fish that week
Also watch out for…
Drinking alcohol during pregnancy can lead to miscarriage, stillbirth, premature birth
or your baby could be born with foetal alcohol syndrome (slow growth before and
after birth, and mental disabilities). As it is not known whether there is a safe level of
drinking during pregnancy the National Health and Medical Research Council advises
women that it is best not to drink during pregnancy.
Small amounts of caffeine are safe during pregnancy but excessive volumes may increase
the risk of miscarriage and premature birth. Caffeine is in coffee, tea, chocolate and
cola (and some other soft drinks). NSW Health recommends that pregnant women limit
themselves to 200mg of caffeine daily. That is 2 cups of ground coffee or 2 1/2 cups
instant coffee, 4 cups medium-strength tea, 4 cups cocoa/hot chocolate or 6 cups of cola.
Smoking is dangerous for your baby. Smoking increases the risk of premature birth,
low birth weight, respiratory problems and SIDS. There is no safe level of smoking.
For help to quit smoking call the Quitline on 131848.

Thanks for posting. Hopefully the members bragging about the wrong foods they ate during pregnancy will read this.
Posted 12 November 2010 - 06:37 AM
Thanks for the list. There were a couple of things on there that I thought were ok to eat.
I have heard conflicting stories about prawns. The last I heard was that a cooked prawn was ok to eat. Now I feel guilty. I did only eat a couple though. I think I will stay clear unless they are hot now. Is that ok?
And Custard. I haven't had any yet but wouldn't have even thought about that being bad.
Posted 12 November 2010 - 07:18 AM
Might be referring to egg custard. I think if you make it fresh using a packet mix or buy the premade ones they should be OK, much like mayonaise. I am not sure on that one though so perhaps it's worth asking about for those who really want custard.
Seafood - Raw seafood Don't eat
Ready-to-eat chilled peeled prawns - Don't eat
Cooked fish and seafood - Cook until steaming hot, eat while hot, store leftovers in the fridge and use within a day of cooking
I would say this means that chilled prawns (raw or cooked) should not be eaten but hot cooked prawns are OK.
Posted 15 November 2010 - 09:40 PM
with the mayonaise in jars form the supermarket question...
does that include whole egg mayo and the japanese Kewpie mayo (in the teardrop shaped squeezey bottle)?
I'm avoiding them anyway, but my favourite dish is Okonomiyaki and it requires the kewpie mayo on top, if it's not ok and whole egg mayo in a jar is ok, then yay!
oh and Ham off the bone cooked pre or post slicing?

Posted 16 November 2010 - 10:00 PM
I believe (and note I am no expert on the subject so I am not in any way suggesting anything is OK, just my own interpretation) that jars of mayo are OK because they are pasturised and go through processes to kill off pathogens and so forth. It's more fresh mayo made with raw eggs that they recommend you avoid.
Same with meat. Needs to be hot when you're eating it. If you cook it before slicing it but eat it immediately the bacteria will be killed off. If you cook it and stick it in the fridge, heat it up before you eat it.
Posted 17 November 2010 - 12:07 PM
Thanks Nut, appreciate your comments and of course understand you're not an expert etc. I'll double check with my Dr when I speak with her next, or the ante natal clinic when I book in.
I've printed off the food authority thing for my DH and will laminate to stick on the fridge and also for my parents (who are doing chrissy lunch this year).
Posted 23 November 2010 - 09:10 PM
My understanding re meats etc - a temperature of 70C kills listeria. So meat that has been cooked to that temp doesn't have to be eaten hot, but should be eaten within 24 hours of cooking. (Obviously should also be refrigerated properly.) I can't see any problem with (say) a sandwich for lunch made with cold roast beef straight from the fridge, that was cooked the night before.

This is soooo interesting.. thanks for the info

great info, thank you
does anyone know the concern about Hommus?
Posted 05 January 2011 - 03:28 PM
Just a quick one - I'm newly pregnant (5 weeks) and stupidly ate roast chicken from the supermarket today and yesterday in my sandwich. It was quite cool and I had it with mayo
At the time I avoided ham due to the risks and assumed the chicken was ok because it had been 'cooked' now I'm worried of the damage I may have caused...
What do you think??
Posted 06 January 2011 - 07:56 AM
MBMK - Try not to freak out. The mayo is not a likely concern if it was in a jar from the supermarket (and eggs are only a risk of food poisoning, not listeria so they are not as great a concern).
The chances of getting listeria are very very low. The guidelines are there not because you HAVE to follow them, but they are the foods recommended be avoided because of everything, they carry the highest chances. But you can eat 500 wheels of brie and not get anything.
I am not saying everyone should go out and gorge on all these things, just that chances are you're fine and should not get too stressed about making a mistake.
I ate a mcflurry, I had brie and a few other things you shouldn't have in pregnancy. Plus at least at this stage the placenta is not functional so the baby is not getting anything directly from you. If you did by chance contract listeria it's probably not as likely to cause harm now, but later in pregnancy can be very nasty.
This is just my general opinion though. I am not trained in medicine and this certainly can't be taken as gospel. But try not to stress about this. The risk is marginal. It exists, but it's marginal.

Hi everyone
I work outside the home and am concerned about what to eat for lunch.
I am wondering whether it is safe to eat salad from a bag if I wash it and dry it again myself.
What about a salad Ive prepared for lunch the night before?
Is it risky to eat a salad sandwich prepared for you from a very clean canteen?
With my two previous pregnancies I gained 30 kg (granted one was a twin pregnancy) and I dont want to gain that amount again! But I am terrified of listeria....Any advice?
Posted 03 February 2011 - 11:51 AM
Hi all,
I'm not pregnant yet, but have read that while TTC you should behave as though you ARE already pregnant... especially during the 2WW. Generally my diet is pretty good and since we started TTC i have given up coffee, soft drinks, sandwich meats, diet yoghurts, and nurofen. I don't drink or smoke so that's an added bonus. I have a few questions regarding the following during pregnancy....
Soy milk?? - i have read so many conflicting reports. Some say it's fine others say that the phytoestrogens (?) it contains may negatively effect the baby. I don't like regular cows milk and am concerned about my calcium intake. I've switched to full-fat yoghurt but only eat a small amount per day.
Protein Powder?? Not the meal replacement stuff formulated for weight loss, I mean the full on protein powder that body-builders use. I have a massive tub of it left over from my training days and have it with soy milk a few times a week as a quick and easy lunch. Are there any particular ingredients i should check for that need to be avoided??

I don't drink Cow's milk or soy but I drink rice milk and it's fortified with calcium. Sesame seeds also have calcium in them as lots of other foods. I've read that soy can impact on fertility so I avoided it when TTC.
Posted 20 February 2011 - 07:41 AM
There are mixed reports about soy, but from personal experience i have not found that a little bit causes problems. I am dairy intolerant so any milk I have (usually a decaf coffee and a couple of cups of tea) is soy milk. I also have a bit of tofu and eat she eps yoghurt(for extra calcium source). I fell pregnant first cycle both times.
Posted 20 February 2011 - 07:52 AM
does anyone know the concern about Hommus?I can't see why hommus would be a problem. I think they key is to eat while fresh, much like everything during pregnancy. I wouldn't think twice about using hommus that has been in the fridge a week after opening, but while pregnant I would be more strict on how long after opening I would eat anything.

I agree, i will think twice about a couple things eg. cheese's n dairy, but eating left over cold meat from the night before?? if its cooked properly to begin with & stored in fridge properly i dont see the problem. Totally agree with sam_gamgee on this one!

What is the risk with bean sprouts, mung beans, etc?
Posted 04 March 2011 - 11:41 AM
Meats - Listeria is one of the only bacteria that thrives in the fridge and will grow faster in acold environment. The recommendation is to only eat meat HOT. Suggests that home cooked cold meats is not a go. You can cook it, cool it quickly in the fridge for a few minutes and then eat it, but should not eat it after it's been sitting for a while, refrigerated or not.
Soy - There are suggestions that soy is not a good option for anyone. It supposedly has a property that is close to oestrogen and can have negative hormonal effects.
Have you tried Zymil? It's sweeter than normal cows milk. Otherwise there is rice milk or goats milk. Maybe try some of the other options if you wish to avoid soy.
Beans/sprouts etc - I am not 100% sure but I was told by a nutritonist to avoid packaged salad products, even just bags of loose lettuce. I expect it's for the same reason.

So I created an explicit dependencies.yml file and included play dependency along with excel module in application.conf. But there is no INFO regarding the excel module available. So I downloaded the excel 1.2.3 zip module and placed in the play directory. Stil no success!!! Please give me a solution ASAP.
Play 2.0 uses sbt to manage dependencis. There is no more dependency.yml. See the doc on how to declare dependencies
Also keep in mind that the modules created for Play 1.x Will not work with Play 2.x. It's mentioned at every details page for each module.

Posted on 03/20/2014 3:17:52 PM PDT by Jacquerie
Today, Florida took another step toward reclaiming federal powers foolishly given away in 1913.
The Senate Rules Committee passed by 8-5, the following resolution:
Amendments to the Constitution of the United States; Applying to Congress to call a convention for the sole purpose of proposing amendments to the Constitution of the United States which impose fiscal restraints on the Federal Government, limit the power and jurisdiction of the Federal Government, and limit the terms of office for federal officials and members of Congress.
Every Republican voted yea, every Democrat nay.
It makes perfect sense. The Left owns Rome-on-the-Potomac and can gain nothing from amending the constitution they soil every day. Patriots have nothing to lose, and everything to gain from a state amendment convention.
I guess the democRats don't believe their own propaganda!
"state amendment proposal convention."
Yes, Justice John Bingham's official clarification of Congress's limited power to lay taxes needs to be enumerated into the Constitution.
... limit the power and jurisdiction of the Federal Government, and limit the terms of office for federal officials and members of Congress.Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States. Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
The Founding States had made the Constitution's Section 8 of Article I to deliberately limit (cripple) Congress's powers. So what's the new amendment supposed to do besides say "See Section 8 of Article I?"
Also, although I will support a term limits amendment, if patriots stop the tsunami of constitutionally indefensible federal taxes then nobody is going to want to be a member of Congress anyway imo.
What we need is an amendment which allows states to recall bad-apple members of Congress with a provision to allow 2/3 of all state legislatures to recall bad-apple members of a given state.
The ill-conceived Progressive Movement 16th Amendment needs to be repealed too.
There IS something for leftists in state government to gain by supporting the COS effort. Term limits.
With all the 'Rat congresscritters that have life terms, and beyond... it seems to me that 'Rat state reps/sinators can be gung-ho to get their upper-classmates regular Washington DC departures to make room for the lower classmen.
We need an amendment that gives 3/4 of the state legislatures the power to recall or impeach activist justices since corrupt Congress cannot be expected to do the job.
If by state amendment convention you mean a Constitutional Convention, that's not completely true. The last Constitutional Convention in 1787 was a runaway and produced our current constitution. Which is different than the constitution ratified from the Articles of Confederation. In more ways than just the Bill of Rights.
We could end up having an amendment to the US Constitution that negates the 2nd or the 4th.
Be careful what you wish for. You might get it.
I suspect that the 5 Democrats who opposed resolution don't understand that Congress has been stealing state revenues from Florida in the form of constitutionally indefensible federal taxes.
Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States. Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
> "If by state amendment convention you mean a Constitutional Convention, "
That's not at all what we mean. If we meant that, we would say that.
There has only been one Constitutional Convention, and we have a Constitution as a result. It would defy logic to call for another one, plus it would be unconstitutional, since nowhere in that sacred document is one even contemplated.
When we make a reference to "An Article V Convention of States to Propose Amendments to the Constitution," what we're actually talking about is an Article V Convention of States to Propose Amendments to the Constitution, as authorized by Article V. Check it out.
I hope that answers your question.
I hope lots of pro Article V convention legislators are elected in November!
Awesome!!! Congratulations to the Patriots of Georgia, the last of the original 13, from the Patriots of Arizona, the last of the contiguous 48!
The idea was that if 3/4's of the state legislatures passed a resolution of no confidence in the federal government, that government would be dissolved. New elections for the House, all Senate seats, the President and Vice President would be called 60 days after the resolution received the requisite number of votes. No incumbent would be permitted to serve in office again.
Following the election, the entire federal judiciary at all levels would be fired, and the new government would fill the federal bench with all new appointees.
I'd like to see an amendment like that.
The timing is interesting here, in that just after the 2014 mid-terms, I imagine that other states will start to join in, leading up to the 2016 presidential race. With a far more conservative Republican congress, and hopefully a Republican president, an Article V convention in 2017 would be far more likely.
Fair warning, security for such a convention will have to be ridiculously tight, because there will be a legion of lobbyists, terrorists, spies, scoundrels, billionaires, Wall Street speculators, insane people, you name it, trying to force their way in.
The delegates will almost have to be sequestered to protect them and their families. All communications to and from the convention will have to be air tight, possibly even carried by couriers, kept out of the view of all who would spy on it. It should be limited to messages to and from the state legislatures, which should be open to inspection after receipt.
The US military should only be used for the "outer ring" of security, with security personnel in the interior rings sworn to defend the *convention*.
Seriously, security for this is going to have to be intensely paranoid, as not just the future of the United States is at stake, but the future of the entire world.
If at all possible, an enabling law should be passed making interference with the convention in any way a major felony, and authorizing the use of deadly force in all sorts of circumstances. If there is a major assault, or detected espionage, the convention may need to sit as a jury, whose decisions cannot be excused, commuted or pardoned.
the dems know exactly what is going to happen to them with an article 5 convention.
The 2nd amendment would simply be "rewritten" to mak it meangingless. Nothing to lose my ass. Liberals are just going to do nothing while conservatives make the current constitution (that is ignored by liberals) more conservative? Yeah uh huh.
I think the primary resistance will be of the back door, out of sight variety sort of pressure on individual state legislators. The rats fear a state amendment convention, for it could be the real beginning of the end to their power.
There is no evil they will shrink from to derail return to a FreeRepublic.
You might just be over the target when you draw enemy fire.
Today is sine die for the Georgia Legislature.
(we rednecks call it "sign or die" referring to the fate of the various bills in the hopper.)
Will the Left be present at an Amendments Convention? Certainly. An Amendments Convention will be a snapshot of America at that time and place.
But the purview (subject) of the convention is to be defined up front as aiming at reducing the federal government's power and enhancing that of the states. Such an amendment proposal would be ruled out of order by the presiding officer. The Left would be told that they need to start a campaign to petition for their own Amendments Convention to push the matters they wish to raise.
see post 24 below:
The amendatory process under Article V consists of three steps: Proposal, Disposal, and Ratification.
There are two ways to propose an amendment to the Constitution.
Article V gives Congress and an Amendments Convention exactly the same power to propose amendments, no more and no less.
Once Congress, or an Amendments Convention, proposes amendments, Congress must decide whether the states will ratify by the:
The State Ratifying Convention Method has only been used twice: once to ratify the Constitution, and once to ratify the 21st Amendment repealing Prohibition.
Depending upon which ratification method is chosen by Congress, either the state legislatures vote up-or-down on the proposed amendment, or the voters elect a state ratifying convention to vote up-or-down. If three-quarters of the states vote to ratify, the amendment becomes part of the Constitution.
Forbidden Subjects:
Article V contains two explicitly forbidden subjects and one implicitly forbidden subject.
Explicitly forbidden:
Implicitly forbidden:
I have two reference works for those interested.
The first is from the American Legislative Exchange Council, a conservative pro-business group. This document has been sent to every state legislator in the country.
Proposing Constitutional Amendments by a Convention of the States: A Handbook for State Lawmakers
The second is a 1973 report from the American Bar Association attempting to identify gray areas in the amendatory process to include an Amendments Convention. It represents the view of the ruling class of 40 years ago. While I dislike some of their conclusions, they have laid out the precedents that may justify those conclusions. What I respect is the comprehensive job they did in locating all the gray areas. They went so far as to identify a gray area that didn't pop up until the Equal Rights Amendment crashed and burned a decade later. Even if you find yourself in disagreement with their vision, it's worth reading to see the view of the ruling class toward the process.
Report of the ABA Special Constitutional Convention Study Committee
The Lefts victory is nearly complete. We are no longer a self-governing people, perhaps with the exception of Article V. It still exists; it is our last remaining hope to restore freedom.
The attacks will come when the numbers begin to add up.
They will first come from the media.
Every possible lie misrepresentation and misconception will be told as fact.
The low information voters will hang on every word.
Some of them are right here on Free Republic.
It will get ugly.
What a great day for Article V! Our bill here in Arizona just passed out of the House Government Committee with a DO PASS recommendation!!! 4 Republicans voted Yea, all the Democrats didn't.
On to the senate...
Just heard on Mark Levin's show that Michigan's state house just passed a Convention of States resolution, 77-32. A state rep (Flowers ?) called in to tell Mark, personally.
Yes, that was terrific!
I heard that caller, too.
Absurd; 3/4ths of the legislatures of the States would have to ratify any amendment — if you think that 38 states would willingly and knowingly drink poison then you think that every peaceable means has been exhausted.
Fantastic explanation...
Here's where we are...
1) Article V Convention
2) Nullification
3) Peaceful secession
I'd like to try the one the Founders actually WROTE INTO THE CONSTITUTION myself...
> "The 2nd amendment would simply be 'rewritten'"
No one is going to re-write anything, not as long as there are still 13 states left standing to block it! Please do the math.
The safety mechanisms are built into the stated subject matter of the convention, and in the numbers that are required to propose and then to ratify any amendments to the Constitution. And let me really emphasize that word: propose.
To begin with, the reason for calling the convention in the first place is not to address what the government CAN do, but to address what the government can NOT do. The subject of the convention is specifically limited to proposing amendments that impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, that limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, and that limit the terms of office for its officials and for members of Congress. Any proposal by any delegate that would fall outside of these parameters would be declared by the chairman of the convention to be void ab initio, or dead on arrival, and there would be no further discussion of the matter. You must know, dont you, that thats the way conventions work?
Secondly, delegates to the convention will be selected by the various state legislatures. If you look at the numbers of Red state legislatures (26) versus Blue state legislatures (18)*, conservatives have a sizeable majority, and one that only stands to increase in the upcoming election, both in state governorships and chambers of the legislature controlled by conservatives.
Certainly there will be states like California, New York, Illinois, Hawaii and others that will send their flaming extremists, but its a one-state, one-vote system. Even if the liberal delegates were somehow able to approach the number of conservative delegates, no leftist proposal expanding the power or scope of the federal government can be passed inside the convention without a 2/3 vote of the states, and that just isnt mathematically possible.
Lastly, after the Convention of States has done its work and adjourns, nothing will have been changed. Nothing. All that will have happened is that a bill of PROPOSED amendments theres that word again - similar in process to the first ten original amendments - our Bill of Rights - will have been submitted to Congress, which then must in turn send them back out to the legislatures of the several states for ratification, either by convention or a vote of the legislature.
Again, math is our friend here. Article V of the Constitution requires that 75% of the states ratify any proposed amendment before it becomes the Supreme Law of the Land, which also means that it would take only 13 states to kill any hair-brained proposal that might have somehow managed to slip through. Remember, the proposed amendments must stand or fall as written - no state can make any changes, not even a single letter. If the states cant agree in the numbers required, the proposal fails for lack of support.
The bottom line is that there are multiple levels of safeguards in place to prevent a runaway convention - we have nothing to fear from those who would hijack the process. All of this fear-mongering is nothing more than tired, transparent scare tactics, like the old trope that George Soros is secretly funding the Article V movement, because the radical socialist extremists plan to take control of the convention and not only re-write the Constitution, but do away with conservatism completely.
If that were indeed the case, why wouldnt liberal Democrats be all over this legislation? Aren't they smart enough to understand how dangerous such an event would be to freedom and liberty? Why is it that when Article V legislation is passed, its done without a single Democrat vote? Shouldnt we expect at least one Democrat to break with party orthodoxy and vote to repeal the 2nd Amendment, to establish a $25 national minimum wage, and to abolish conservatism, all in one fell swoop?
I submit to you that they would do just that if there were but one single word of truth in the arguments being peddled by the fear merchants of the John Birch Society. There isnt, so they dont. The Birchers insist that the Constitution is sacrosanct, that it cant be violated or tampered with, that it must be followed as written to the letter of the law all except that part in Article V, that is, where it authorizes the states to hold conventions to propose amendments.
In as many words, they say that they don't trust the people to have sense enough to conduct a convention properly, that we should trust in our current form of government to correct itself, that everything will be fine as long as we just keep voting for change... us... the idiots, the dupes and the fools too stupid to run a convention... but we should keep voting.
How's that been working out so far?
Seriously, there is something, indeed, that we DO have to fear, and thats our current runaway federal government. We should also fear what will most certainly happen to our Constitution if we do nothing.
> "Id like to try the one the Founders actually WROTE INTO THE CONSTITUTION..."
I neglected to include the citation for my Red state / Blue state comparison...
* Source: https://www.statescape.com/resources/partysplits/partysplits.aspx
Howsabout making it an impeachable offense to knowingly vote for any measure that does not first pass constitutional muster? Just musing here... the kind of things one does before going to a convention.
nobody is going to want to be a member of Congress anyway imo.
I think that you are exactly right, to this extent: They'll not want to go for the same reasons as the money-grubbing, power-hungry, opportunist career politicians that they'll be replacing, that's for sure! They just might have other motives, like doing what's best for the country instead of what's best for their re-election fund, because, by golly, there's that Lifetime Term Limits thing to remind them that someday soon, they'll be returning to the real world with the rest of us to live under the laws that they pass. This Article V is starting to look like a magic bullet...
What we need is an amendment which allows states...
I'm not even going to finish your quote there, just to make the point that YOU can fill in the blank! That's what this convention will be all about... great minds coming together with great ideas, to propose, discuss and dispose... debate for as long as it takes to fully vet the issues and the solutions... and do so in the full light of day, not in some smokey back room! And the best part of all of this...? Just let the media try to ignore it!
Bottom line here, Amendment10, is that, for what it's worth, I like the way you think!
Liberals and judges don't follow the Constitution now so even if you prevailed (you won't) it is a meaningless exercise for people that like to preach to the choir. A few states will send their flaming liberals? Obama carried 26 states. But people waste their time with all sorts of nonsense. So have at it. However I will oppose it and encourage everyone I know to oppose it.
Wow... I never thought about it in the way that you just described, but but you could very well be right.
This may be one of the major issues that brings the parties together on this whole Article V movement - lifetime term limits. Kind of like a bunch of young members of the tribe jumping up and down to break the tip off an ice flow so one really old Eskimo can just float out to sea.
One less old Eskimo... I like it!
I must have been interrupted when I was making post 5. I meant the 17th Amendment but 16 can go too.
Hear, Hear, Publius!
To those who insist on dragging out that tired old saw, it should be sufficient to note that what emerged from that assembly was an AMENDMENT to the existing Articles of the Confederation which was submitted to Congress, which in turn unanimously approved said amendment and referred it to the 13 states for ratification.
Now, before anything else occurred, it's important to note that the ratification process set forth in the amendment, which was, in fact, the soon-to-be new Constitution, contained two important changes which were both required for ratification to occur.
First, rather than have 13 state legislatures approve the amendment, as required under the Articles, the Constitution called for each state merely to approve the calling of a state convention to ratify the amendment. If that were approved, then the ratification of only nine states was deemed sufficient.
The fact is that ALL 13 states legislatures approved the calling of state conventions to consider approval of the new amendment / Constitution, and in so doing, the requisite unanimous approval for the new nine-state ratification process occurred.
Eventually, all thirteen states adopted the Constitution, thus further negating any claim that the Constitution was somehow illegally approved.
It's a matter of history*.

I'm sorry that you feel so defeated, and regret that you have given up on your country. Personally, I can't buy into your defeatism.
It is, however, one thing to feel that another's efforts are meaningless and futile, and another entirely to say you'll actively oppose them.
Thank you for the heads-up... I would have expected no less from the Democrat Party. It would appear that there are more enemies of Freedom and Liberty than I might have guessed.
Yes, the Constitutional Convention was a runaway convention, an attempt to resolve issues with the existing Articles of Confederation.
However ...
Neither the runaway Constitutional Convention, nor any such Convention in the future, produced a ratified new Constitution, but a proposed new Constitution for the states to later ratify if they so choose. This is because, after the delegates to the Convention had finished and signed the final draft, they then had to get out and sell the draft to the states for ratification, just as the states would have to ratify any amendments proposed by future Conventions.
"The Constitution was adopted on September 17, 1787, by the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and ratified by conventions in eleven States." --United States Constitution, Wikipedia.
Given up on my country? No. Given up on you. Definitely.
If amendments won't be followed, then no harm can be done. Why oppose a convention?
States will send delegates with commissions. They will not send representatives. Delegates are identical to agents. Their discretion will be limited to the power their states give them. States will not send representatives with plenary authority.
Do you oppose other clauses in the constitution?

With the confirmed list of cameos growing each week, the second season of "Arrow" is already shaping up to be twice as good as the first. Not only will we be getting appearances from Roy Harper and China White. Barry Allen is also set to appear in three episodes of the upcoming season, with the third appearance spinning off into his own "Flash" TV series.
Black Canary, another newcomer to the Arrow-verse, has been pretty much a given from day one of the series. After all, you can't have a Green Arrow TV show without the Black Canary. However, with the news that the Black Canary will not be Dinah "Laurel" Lance, it would appear as though we have a lot more questions than answers when it comes to Laurel's role in the new season.
CAUTION: "Arrow" season one and season two SPOILERS ahead!
For those who have made the perilous jump into Spoiler City, it's been revealed that Black Canary will actually be Laurel's not-so-deceased sister, Sarah. But what about Laurel?
In the wake of the "Arrow" season one finale, Laurel Lance already has a lot on her plate. Not only has her ex-boyfriend Tommy Merlyn been crushed to death by a collapsing building, but she's also recently rekindled the fire between herself and Oliver Queen. Obviously there could be some mixed feelings about that whole situation now—considering the fact that Tommy died knowing that she chose to be with Oliver instead of him.
Moving on, Starling City now knows that Moira Queen had a hand in the destruction of the Glades. With the blood of innocent people on her hands, Moira's definitely going to need a good lawyer. Cue: Laurel Lance. "This season Laurel is going to be joining the District Attorney's office, so she might have dealings with [the trial]," producer Andrew Kreisberg revealed via TV Guide. "Part of it is that she's trying to stay out of it as much as she can, but as always with these things, bad stuff happens."
Finally, there's the whole Black Canary matter. Played by actress Caity Lotz, Sara Lance will evidently be returning from the dead and fighting alongside Oliver Queen this upcoming season. This, of course, effects Laurel on multiple levels. First and foremost, her sister is back from the dead. Although that idea was planted in an episode last season, it stills seems pretty safe to say that Laurel will not take this well.
Secondly, Sara Lance is the reason that Oliver and Laurel "broke up" in the first place. Now that she's back and cozying up to her boyfriend once again, Sara and Laurel are sure to have their fair share of disagreements. "The character [Lotz is] playing is really the beginning of the story of the Black Canary," Kreisberg explained to TV Guide. "Everyone knows that Laurel Lance is the Black Canary… But how we get from A to B is the story of our show."
Sounds like Laurel will be putting on the Black Canary outfit at some point, but how and why that comes into play remains a mystery. Could it be that Sara Lance isn't all that she says she is? Perhaps, the Sara that Laurel and Oliver once knew did, in fact, die on the Queen's Gambit and the woman returning to Starling City is no more than the shell of the person she once was. Maybe Laurel will even be forced to sacrifice her own sister for the greater good.
At this point, all we can do is speculate as to how Laurel Lance becomes the Black Canary. You can expect to receive more official answers once "Arrow" season two picks up again later this year.
What role do you think Laurel Lance will play in "Arrow" season 2? Let us know in the comments below or hit us up on Twitter!

No. 23 Boston College 30, BYU 23 2OT
BOSTON (AP)—Matt Ryan and Ryan Ohliger had a chance to make up for their mistakes. And so did the officials.
Ryan threw a touchdown pass to Tony Gonzalez on the first play of the second overtime Saturday, then No. 23 Boston College waited for a replay review to verify Jamie Silva's game-ending interception and the Eagles escaped with a 30-23 victory over BYU.
"I was telling them that it was a pick. One guy was real sure that it wasn't, so we had to go to the tape," Silva said. "The tape doesn't lie."
It was the second consecutive double-overtime game for Boston College (3-0), and the second in a row that was helped by not-so-instant replay. The Eagles won last week on a blocked extra point after a replay negated a Clemson interception, but the call in the BYU (1-2) game was the decisive one.
"Just another day at the ballpark for us," said BC coach Tom O'Brien, who set a school record with his 69th victory here. "Thank God we have replay this year."
Both teams missed field goals in the first OT and Ryan, who was picked off twice in regulation, found Gonzalez in the front of the end zone near the right pylon. Ohliger, who was booed after missing two extra points and a field goal, converted the PAT.
"It's terrible when the fans lose confidence in you. Not only that, but when your team loses confidence in you," he said. "The two extra points—I'm completely capable of making those. I just lost my concentration. It's not going to happen again."
BYU got a first down at the 14, but on the next play John Beck's pass was tipped into the air by linebacker Brain Francois. Silva dove to get his fingers under the deflection before it hit the turf, and BC players ran onto the field to celebrate.
Umpire Gary Crum ruled it incomplete and sent them back to the sideline. But it was an obvious candidate for replay review, and O'Brien sidled over to one official to lobby his case.
"I said, 'I hope he has the guts to make the right call,"' O'Brien said. "A lot of times you won't see them reverse the call on the field."
BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall huddled his team up to prepare for the second down play.
"It never crossed our minds" that the game was over, running back Curtis Brown said.
After failing to get a signal in the first set of headsets, referee Terry Leyden ran 60 yards downfield for another set. Following a delay of several minutes, he declared the pass intercepted and the celebration began anew.
"Our team simply was one play short," Mendenhall said.
Ryan was 29-for-48 for 356 yards and two touchdowns, but he also gave BYU a chance to win when Kelly Poppinga picked him off with 20 seconds left in regulation. Jared McLaughlin missed a field goal attempt from 51 yards out with 8 seconds left.
Brandon Robinson caught seven passes for 140 yards, and Gonzalez caught two TDs for the Eagles.
Beck completed 38 of 59 passes for 436 yards to pass Steve Young and move into sixth place on the school's all-time list. He had two interceptions and one touchdown, hitting Brown 11 times for 94 yards and Matt Allen six times for 108.
He was unavailable after the game because he was being evaluated for an ankle injury.
BYU advanced to the 10 in the first overtime before an illegal block pushed it back to the 26. The snap on the field goal try went through holder Jason Beck's hands; McLaughlin picked it up and rolled right but his pass was incomplete.
Despite Ohliger's problems, BC didn't go for a touchdown in the first OT before sending him out for a 38-yard attempt that was blocked by Russell Tialavea. That might have caught BYU off-guard when the Eagles went for it all on the first play of the second OT.
BC got a break at the end of regulation after forcing BYU to punt from its own 15. DeJuan Tribble fumbled the return, and it bounced off players on both teams before J. Survival Ross snagged it an advanced it the rest of the way to the BC 39.
But three plays later, Ryan's pass was tipped by defensive lineman Hala Paongo and picked off by linebacker Poppinga at the BYU 48 with 20 seconds left. Beck hit Daniel Coats on second down for 18 yards to the BC 34, setting up a 51-yard attempt.
The kick—it would have been a career longest for McLaughlin—sailed hopelessly left and short.

100% Recycled Ditto Hangers Support the Arts and the Environment
Posted By Lori Zimmer On September 27, 2012 @ 11:40 am In carousel showcase,Innovation,Recycled Materials,San Francisco | 1 Comment
Every eco-fashionista should hang their sustainable wardrobe with Ditto Recycled Hangers. The San Francisco Bay Area-based company specializes in clothing hangers and display products that made from 100% recycled paper and 100% recycled PET plastics. Recycled, recyclable and non-toxic, Ditto Hangers also appeal to the artistic, offering designer-printed models, custom printing options, and have even supported the arts with customized pieces by contemporary artists.
Unlike the infamously undesirable wire hangers [2], Ditto hangers are free of heavy metals, chlorine and formaldehyde, which is commonly present on both fabric and paper attachments on hangers. These chemicals not only harm the environment, but can be transferred to your clothing, putting your skin in contact with the toxins.
Using soy-based inks and starch-based adhesives, the hangers [3] couldn't get any more environmentally sound- and the best part is they are themselves recyclable! One ton of virgin paper consumes 17 trees, 380 gallons of oil and 4,000 kw of energy, in addition to 7,000 gallons of water. Ditto helps eliminate this burden by using 100% recycled paper [4], saving trees as your hang up your favorite shirt. They also take up less closet space!
When traditional clothes hangers break, into the landfill they go, but did you realize that a whopping 8 BILLION hangers are dumped into landfills [5] each year? That's enough to fill 4.6 Empire State Buildings from basement to the famed observation deck! That is around 15 million each day. Ditto's recycled hangers [6] may seem like a simple step, but their impact on the environment and landfills is a great one.

You Can Change the Minds of the Powerful
Where You Are is Who You Were
Where You Are is Who You Were
We are all busy, in a state of "constant partial attention." And powerful people are busier than average. They make a very quick assessment as to whether they will listen to you. They pay attention more to who you are than what you say. Your reputation matters. A good reputation becomes a shortcut to determining the merits of your argument without weighing it in a mindful way. Accessing someone's reputation is easier than plodding through data and arguments. Fair or unfair, we all think we have a great sense of "gut feelings" and intuition---and powerful people even more so. Their intuition determines whether you'll get access. So put your good reputation on display and talk it up every chance you get. Be thinking now of what you want one, two and even five years from now. Manage your reputation as if your future success depends on it, because it does. Translation: watch those social network posts and photos!

Oct 2, 2014 - Rome
October 2: Rome is a surprise to me in that the history is interspersed through the city and is part of daily life. The Coliseum is right there as you drive by - you will see an archaeological dig next to a set of apartments and there is even one that is ongoing under a government building. Everywhere you turn you see old, newer and new often standing right together. Beautiful architecture and sculpture throughout the city on nearly every building. Even pacing ourselves I feel like my feet are broken! It's the shuffle walk that you have to...Jump to full entry

Oct 1, 2014 - Arrival in Rome
I was dreading Rome, given how much I disliked Florence. It is big and noisy and fast and I love it ... much like I love New York City. We have had no problems crossing streets, but you would not believe traffic. Everyone does their own thing! We did a hop-on/hop-off bus tour when we first arrived to get our bearings (thank goodness Tim is here - I would still be wandering somewhere near our hotel!). Scooters are zipping through the tiniest openings between one bus and another, between cars, between traffic and parked cars, etc. We are...Jump to full entry

Sep 29, 2014 - Back to Rome
Back to the real world. About 3 km walk to the train station, then caught the train to Rome. Soooo much easier dealing with this at a small station instead of Roma Termini. Back to our old Hotel Montecarlo and the room was ready within an hour or so, we just enjoyed the wifi while waiting. Later we walked down Via Nationale to the Piazza Venezia. Rome is so wonderful to walk around. Ancient artifacts at every corner. How did they do it?Jump to full entry
Sep 17, 2014 - Civitivecchia transportation day
Got up early because we had decided to catch the 9:57 train from Rome to the cruise port. Made the 15 minute walk to the train station, bought the 2 tickets for 22 Euro total (a drive to the port was 100 Euro), and there the easy part ended. The ticket didn't say which platform the train left from. We tried to figure it out without success. A couple of gypsies wanted to help us but we had been warned about that! A man working in a kiosk sent us to platform 21 where a train was waiting. We got on, found a compartment and then weren't sure we...Jump to full entry
Sep 16, 2014 - Vatican City
What a day today, We used the second day of our hop on hop off and went to St Peters. This time on the bus we were lucky and got the very front seat. The traffic is incredible and no one seems to get angry and very little honking. We got off at St Peters. It was a 3 hour wait just to get inside, a wait mostly up sheltered from the sun. We chose tal walk around and then bought a tour for 35 Euro each which took us in a group entrance -total pandemonium , however we got inside and saw a couple of hours worth of incredible art and antiquity.

Well, it was quite a day. Tube to Victoria station, Train to Gatwick, then to Easyjet, When they say you can take one bag on board, they really mean it.....not a bag and a purse, not a bag and a backpack.....one item only. So we paid to check another bag. 30 pounds for a 2 hr flight for a carryon size. Live and learn. The plane seat configuration was pretty tight and we left 30 min late because they had to remove a passenger and their bags but we ended up at the Rome airport safe and sound. Got train tickets for Rome - when we got there...Jump to full entry
Sep 15, 2014 - Rome day 1
Hot, hot day today. Had a great breakfast at the hotel and packed, again, to move to Montecarlo Hotel. They gave us a huge room because we got shuttled last night. We bought a two day pass for the hop on hop off bus. Did a full circuit and came home for a nap. I had no idea of the amount of ancient buildings that are in wonderful condition here. I don't think you could see them all if you came for a month. Walked over to the basilica after nap time and it is an amazing place. Hopped back on and explored a couple more places. We are trying a...Jump to full entry
Sep 3, 2014 - 12 Day Grand Mediterranean Cruise: 1st Port Venice
We toured some more on Venice and bought some trinkets including a Venice sailor hat for Ken. We enjoyed sipping wine along the side of the Canal using the stolen wine glasses from the evening before as we took pictures and strolled the alleyways and courtyards. We made a snack pit stop in one of the squares to enjoy a bottle of wine at a restaurant where we could sit outside and people watch. They provided us with an unlimited supply of potato chips! Another Toe Pic was taken overlooking the Grand Canal sipping our vino tinto. We...Jump to full entry

Unfortunately, Europe has similar weather to us so if you go in our winter months you will be just as cold! We were also told if you travel in the summer months you will be waaaayyyy too hot.

Jul 29, 2014 - Vini Vidi Mangiato
Julius Caesar produced one of the longest lasting quotes of all time, "Vini Vidi, Veci". I came I saw I conquered. This quote was perfect for the egotistical dictator who really began the massive expansion of the Roman Empire and started the rule of the emperors. Being better than Julius, I decide to improve his quote to that of the title of this entry, "Vini Vidi Mangiato" roughly translating to I came I saw I ate. Boy have we ate. So much so that we have already constructed a reputation among the group that when they don't finish their...Jump to full entry
Jul 28, 2014 - no chefs insulted on our first day
Great first day in Rome! Lots of walking, easily we walked 10 miles over cobblestone streets. Hard to imagine that shoe designers had Rome in mind when they created stiletto heels. The forum and coliseum are truly more interesting than the pile of rubble I expected. Now I see there is no reason to paint my kitchen, it is just an early Roman-empire style! We sampled pizzas and fresh mozzarella for lunch, served family style, not many leftovers at our table, making the boys a fast favorite of the guides. For dinner we ventured out on our own...Jump to full entry

Our first event is not until 5:30 local time (which is 6 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time) so we decided to walk around and see the Vatican City. Our first event is a dinner with the rest of the group and the menu includes gnocchi, a beef dish and gelato, we are looking forward to that!Jump to full entry

About Howard HughesHoward Robard Hughes, who died in the mid 1970s, was an American investor, business magnate, film maker, aerospace engineer, aviator and philantrophist. In the mid-20th century he was widely considered one of the richest men in the world. As a film maker, Hughes gained prominence with such controversial and unforgettable movies as The Racket, Hell's Angels, The Outlaw and Scarface. As an aviator and engineer he went down to history by setting a several world air speed records, building H-4 (better known as Hercules) and Hughes H-1 Racer. Among his friends and in the wider circles Howard is also remembered for his reclusive lifestyle and often eccentric behavior, at least partially caused by the chronic pain and obsessive-compulsive disorder he suffered from. Howard Hughes net worth is currently estimated at $4 billion.
Howard was born in Texas, to Allene Stone Gano and Howard R. Hughes Sr. His mother originated from the noble family and was a far descendant of the man named Owen Tudor, a second husband of Dowager Queen of England.

Soothing but ineffective
Posted by 4681498270178112019 on Aug 02, 2015
This gel felt soothing but unfortunately that's all it did for me. It feels comforting when first applied but using it every morning and evening has not improved existing redness or pimples, hasn't shrunk them down. reduced the amount or prevented any from showing up. This product has done nothing to improve the look of my skin. It's also very runny so you can't use it for spot treatment very well.
Posted by 5072599354262438237 on Jul 10, 2015
very effective yet gentle on skin. you will feel slightly tight on the skin but its much better than the over the counter chemical which dried up your skin and the skin will eventualyl peeled off. this one works fine for me and my hubby.
Very effective pimple cream
Posted by PatWong on May 23, 2014
This is the most effective pimple cream I've ever used. It smells so natural and goes a long way. Acne immediately dries up after 2 days or so.
kiss my face
Posted by 5186881868262512660 on Apr 25, 2014
I love that this is made from all natural ingredients. I can't comment on it's effectiveness yet as I haven't used it consistently. I have oily yet dehydrated skin and I found this gel to be a little drying but this is easily overcome by extra moisturiser. Smells pepperminty and refreshing.
Posted by 5204657399610859886 on Apr 01, 2014
Gentle formula. Skin tightens but doesn't burn.
Good natural product
Posted by Reviewer1533331 on Jan 04, 2014
Great ingredients, doesn't work for me under makeup. Tends to form a gel film on the face. Good at night, though.
Very effective for pimples and acne
Posted by Reviewer1438643 on Aug 25, 2013
This acne gel is one of the best I have tried and it is not drying which is a plus point. Whenever I have a pimple or I feel an acne coming up I will put the gel directly on the spot a few times a day after washing my face and the pimple or acne will become smaller. Previous products I have used tend to make my skin peel. There is a very strong smell of tea tree essential oil which is fine as I don't mind it at all.
We hope..
Posted by Reviewer3045956 on Nov 28, 2011
this will help with my sons acne. It smells nice and gives a cold feeling on the skin.
Posted by Reviewer1176122 on Jun 21, 2011
effective without drying out my skin
Not just a pretty face ;)
Posted by 6apollonia6 on Mar 24, 2011
I bought this gel to use for the occasional blemish, but have found that the essential oils have such a strong effect that they are calming, as well as soothing for headaches and sinus trouble. I even put a little on my son to help him sleep peacefully at night.

Like clockwork, the roof of Deer Meadow Primary School has been a topic of discussion at each Greencastle School Board meeting since March.
With bated breath and crossed fingers, school officials said at Wednesday meeting the roof problems may almost be over. Contractors recently completed work on the roof of the 10-year-old school.
"I believe they finished two days ago," Principal Gwen Morris said.
Problems with expansion joints, roof valleys and faulty shingles led to extensive leaks during last spring's heavy rains. Since then, a debate over who was at fault, and to what extent, has caused the process to drag on.
"I know more about expansion joints and valleys than I thought I'd know in a lifetime," Morris said.
School attorney Bob Rund said the only issue remaining is of the shingles themselves. The manufacturer has since been bought out, but the new company has made a monetary offer for the failure of the shingles.
The school corporation is still considering the offer.
With heavy rains going on during Wednesday's meeting, Morris added a final thought to the discussion.
"Let's just hope it doesn't leak," she said.
The board also received an update on the calendar options for the 2012-13 school year. Several proposals for an adjusted schedule have been posted on the Greencastle Community Schools website since last month.
Greencastle and other local school systems are looking at moving toward a balanced calendar, with a shorter summer break, and two-week breaks between quarters.
Superintendent Lori Richmond said comments on the options have been mixed. Some respondents like the options the two-week breaks provide, but day care concerns remain for many parents.
Possibilities include keeping the schedule essentially unchanged or moving toward the balanced calendar. These moves could be done all at once, or incrementally, with small changes next year and the new calendar fully implemented in 2013-14.
A committee will convene during January to come up with two calendar recommendations for the board. The proposal will be made to the board in February or March.
On the board, views about the options appear mixed.
"I've talked to people in the public and they are generally in favor of the traditional calendar," Mike Dean said.
"I've found just the opposite," fellow board member Mike White said. "The same here," Kelly Lewis added.
One change sure to come in the fall of 2012 is the state-mandated merit pay for teachers. A 12-person committee has worked on an evaluation and compensation plan for the school corporation to help with this new program.
With a plan in place, Greencastle can apply for a grant to help with merit pay. Teachers rated as effective or highly effective will receive pay increases based upon the evaluations.
One of the biggest adjustments to the merit-pay system will be for building principals and assistant principals, who will spend much more time in classrooms evaluating teachers.
"Our administrators feel strongly that they can handle this," Assistant Superintendent Dawn Puckett said.
School officials will know by summer if they've received the grant, with the compensation to go into effect at some point in the fall.
