CA Bill Heads to Governor's Desk
Passes State Legislature
By Christie Bondurant
The highly controversial California Assembly Bill 1822 passed state legislature this week and currently sits on the governor's desk awaiting his review.
On Tuesday, the State Assembly concurred Senate amendments, which includes adding two law enforcement officials to the California Massage Therapy Council (CAMTC).The amendment also stipulates that the California Police Chiefs Association (CPCA) and the California State Sheriffs Association have the only authority to select the law enforcement officials. The CPCA is the same organization that was the driving force behind the original, and highly controversial, version of the bill. (See Massage Today article.)
The infamous anti-prostitution law has had heavy opposition from major massage associations including the CAMTC, American Massage Therapy Association-California chapter (AMTA-CA) and Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals (ABMP). All three organizations have contested the bill's passage and expressed concern over the CPCA's involvement in the selection of law enforcement officials.
According to CAMTC executive director Ahmos Netanel, who spent several months working with the CPCA in negotiations, the "hostile" police group is not looking out for the best interests of the massage community.
"The board is functioning very well, very effectively, and very balanced," said Netanel. "A hostile police organization will handicap our ability to protect the public," he said.
Amanda Whitehead, AMTA-CA government relations chair, shared the same sentiment in a recent opposition letter. "Appointing law enforcement personnel to a self-regulating board would be both unprecedented and unnecessary," said Whitehead. "The presence on the CAMTC board of representatives appointed by an organization that has proven to be openly hostile to CAMTC would be a huge step backwards for public protection and fair business regulation in California."
And in another opposition letter sent out by ABMP: "The California Police Chiefs Association ... seeks to dramatically weaken CAMTC. California professions traditionally self-regulate. The imposition of law enforcement seats onto a health profession board would establish a dangerous precedent that could easily spread to boards regulating other professions."
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has until the end of September to sign or veto the bill.
As this bill has potential to harm the massage community and is ineffective in protecting the public from illegal operators of massage businesses, Massage Today has created a "Veto AB 1822" e-mail form that will be sent to California Governor Schwarzenegger as well as the bill's author, State Assemblyman Sandre Swanson (D-Alameda). [Note: If you are one of the thousands who sent in the Massage Today e-mail form (when it was first created a few months ago) to state assembly members, please use our new form, which will be sent to the governor.]

Warner Bros. execs find Apple's 99 cent TV show rentals too cheapExecutives with Warner Bros., producer of numerous primetime network TV shows, believe that Apple's 99 cent prices TV show rentals need to be more expensive.
According to The Associated Press, Barry Meyer, chief executive of Warner Bros., said his company decided to not participate in Apple's proposal for 99 cent TV episode rentals, because they feel the price is too low. Meyer revealed his company's stance this week at an investor conference hosted by Merrill Lynch in California.
"Meyer said the deal was not a good value for the studio subsidiary of Time Warner Inc., which sells permanent downloads shows such as 'Gossip Girl' on iTunes for $2.99 each," the report said.
While Warner Bros. didn't agree to Apple's deal, other networks did join on for the rental service, upon which Apple's new cloud-centric Apple TV will rely. That device, which will sell for $99, will have limited internal storage and will focus on rentals of HD movies for $4.99 and TV shows for 99 cents.
Announced earlier this month, the new rental service has been agreed to by major U.S. networks Fox and ABC.
"We think the rest of the studios will see the light and get on board pretty fast," Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs said during his keynote address earlier this month.
Before the rentals were announced, reports indicated that major content providers including NBC Universal, CBS Corp. and Time Warner Inc. have all "dug in their heels in opposition" to Apple's plans. TV executives are said to believe that inexpensive episode downloads would break their current economic model.

- Apple's Trent Reznor says YouTube built on stolen content, pushes Apple Music

A list of things you want to do before you die. I believe the term comes from a Rob Reiner movie called "The Bucket List" in which 2 terminally ill men (played by Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson) go on a road trip to do the things they wanted to do before they died (kicked the bucket)...or it could be that the term pre-dated the movie (?) and that was the reason they called the movie what they did.
Sadly, the old man passed away with his bucket list still containing several unfulfilled desires.

Preliminary information coming out of a $130,000 rosewood assessment being conducted by the Forestry Department is that illegal loggers have cut down so many mature trees—standing in the forest for at least 80 years—that it could threaten the health of rosewood stocks in southern Belize.
Dr. Percival Cho, Forest Officer, is leading the rosewood assessment, which he told Amandala is almost 50% complete and should be concluded by June 2014.
While Cho could not provide us with exact numbers at the time of our interview, he was able to tell us anecdotally what the situation looks like on the ground, in Toledo and Stann Creek, where they have been doing the inventory.
He said that two teams of 4 persons each (locals hired for the project) have been measuring rosewood trees, and they are able to say that the majority of larger trees, 12 inches in diameter and more, are found as stumps—which means that they have been stripped from the forest. The standing trees are smaller and immature, not suitable for export for hardwood products, but only usable to make fences and to burn as firewood.
Cho noted that this alarming trend was pronounced in the areas targeted by illegal loggers, but there were some areas where healthy stocks were found.
What does that mean for the species? Cho told our newspaper that the removal of the mature trees means that the reproductive individuals have been lost, and if the trend continues and loggers begin to target smaller trees, the rosewood stock could be decimated. It takes 80 years for trees to reach maturity, he indicated.
The inventory began in February, after Cho and his team used a "systematic plot layout" software to randomly select 200 rectangular plots of 1.5 acres, and they have been measuring the size of rosewood trees and stumps within those plots.
He informed us that they just got word from Cabinet that it wants the team to quickly wrap up the rosewood inventory by June.
On Tuesday, Wilber Sabido, Chief Forest Officer, told us that after the inventory the Forestry Department will present recommendations for the Minister of Forestry to table at Cabinet, but if the pillaging continues unabated, he said, there may not be any rosewood left to assess. (See story under Highlights.)

Top chef Martin Bosley has been forced into liquidation, 13 years after the opening of his award-winning restaurant.
The chef sat alone in a sea of empty tables yesterday, wringing his hands.
"It's the hardest decision I've ever had to make, it's the worst day of my life," he said.
"Having to tell the staff that you'll no longer be here, it's devastating. It's not a position we ever thought we'd be in. We feel like we've been part of the family in this town for a long time. I'm terribly disheartened that this is how it's ended."
Bosley told 15 staff that the business was being placed into voluntary liquidation yesterday morning.
He spent the day ringing creditors and customers, cancelling bookings.
Staff had received their final pay, and liquidators would begin to value assets. The business had no bank loans but did owe creditors - an amount Bosley would not share.
A tough few years during the financial crisis, a slew of cancelled bookings, and the loss of his lease at the Port Nicholson Yacht Club prompted the final call.
Two years ago Bosley enlisted a strategic adviser to help with cost-cutting, and "made significant inroads" in repaying debt he had fallen into with creditors and Inland Revenue.
He began trying to "casualise" dining and find other revenue streams - including $30 fish and chip Sundays and launching a range of sauces.
But business never really picked up, and in December the yacht club advertised the lease on the premises - wanting to include more casual dining as part of its plan to rejuvenate the boat harbour precinct.
Bosley said he planned to put in a bid to retain it, but changed his mind last week when he discovered the yacht club had submitted its own proposal.
"I kind of had a suspicion that is what they were after all along, and that confirmed it for me . . . there wasn't a great deal of transparency. It was a bit mischievous."
Since the lease went out for tender, wedding bookings had been cancelled, and people were reluctant to book without knowing if the restaurant would still be there, Bosley said.
"It really just put the brakes on the business . . . I wouldn't say it was the catalyst, but the straw that broke the camel's back."
Customers and suppliers had been supportive, he said.
"People have said some kind things but you just feel like you've let a whole lot of people down. There's no joy in this moment, that's for sure. I'm sorry for the creditors I've left owing money to, I wish that wasn't the case."
Bosley wasn't sure what he would do next, likening the loss to losing his home.
"It's just a case of wrapping things up here and taking time to breathe . . . hopefully out of the chaos, something comes out of it."
Yacht club chief executive Dean Stanley said the club had spoken to Bosley in the past two years about a change of focus from fine dining. He rejected the idea they were "mischievous".
"We've always, throughout the whole process, been going to put in an option for how the club itself would run the space. It's not our core business. If the market comes up with something better than what we could do, then we'd run with that," Stanley said.
"We've thoroughly enjoyed our relationship with Martin over the years, and we are very saddened to see what has happened."
Restaurant association national president Mike Egan said the hospitality industry was always tough, and constantly changing. The leisurely, fine-dining experience had fallen out of favour with a time-poor society, and restaurants needed to adapt.
"Martin, I mean he'll come back. He's a fantastic chef. Just like any artist, they work out what's new and reinvent themselves. I have great confidence that this is not the end of Martin Bosley whatsoever."

Wacky easy listening,
This review is from: Himself (Jpn) (Remastered) Us (Audio CD)
Yes, there is such a thing. It's a niche market, to be sure, and Gilbert is one of its longest-standing proponents.
HIMSELF, his first album, is arguably his best - while his "prematurely aged social misfit" persona has arrived fully formed, the album sees him venturing into musical areas he seldom if ever visited again.
But let's have a reality check - this is music that not many people will be able to tolerate. To appreciate this stuff, you not only need a peculiar fondness for featherweight early-'70s pop, but also an affection for tweeness and awkwardness. So, if you're the sort of person who actually likes David Bowie's Deram sessions, or pre-disco Bee Gees, you owe it to yourself to check this out. If you're not, leave it well alone.
The singles will be famiiar to most people reading this - the implacably melancholy, self-deprecating `Nothing Rhymed', and `Matrimony' (about a skinflint hurrying his bride to the registry office, aware that she wanted a church wedding). But the true highlights are the album tracks in which all his eccentricities are on display.
`January Git' is word-associative nonsense set to swing-style jazz (complete with clarinet solos); `Permissive Twit' is a vignette of 1930s Northern England, with a young relative of Gracie Fields (no joke!) confessing, shyly and haltingly, that his sister has become pregnant out of wedlock; `Independent Air' is lyrically incomprehensible and musically almost raucous - check out the funky guitarwork toward the end; `Too Much Attention' has more of a jazz-funk feel (with a bit of scat-singing and flute solo breaks); `Susan Van Heusen' is another `scandalous' tale related awkwardly and embarrassedly (a teenage girl catches her father at it with his lower-class bit-on-the-side).
`Thunder and Lightning' is indeed a song about the weather, and it's an r'n'b swinger with an unforgettable set of brass riffs, and a 1950s-style tenor sax break; `Bye-Bye' and `Doing The Best I Can' are breakup songs, the former degenerating into nonsense in short order, the latter has the narrator deserting an alcoholic partner (mockingly singing `bow-wow-wow' throughout the choruses!).
`Houdini Said' is the weirdest, and most perversely charming thing on the album. Arranger Johnnie Spence (yes, he of Dr Kildare fame!) takes Gilbert's slightly embarrassing music-hall style song-fragment, with more nonsensical wordplay and a call-and-response chorus, and turns it into an extravagant kitchen-sinks-and-all mini-epic. Melancholy movie-score strings one minute, a jazz variation the next, and then...Bach-style harpsichord and Swingle-Singers-style choral vocals. And at the end, most improbable of all, a maniacal Jethro Tull-style flute solo over pealing guitar lines as the orchestra piles up countermelodies in the background. In its perverse way, a work of genius!

This invention relates to a process for the manufacture of insoluble and only slightly swellable crosslinked polymers of N-vinylpyrrolidone-2 or copolymers of N-vinylpyrrolidone with other N-vinyllactams by heating the reactants at a temperature of at least 80°C without the use of free-radical initiators or other catalysts.
It is well known that polymers of N-vinylpyrrolidone-2 are generally readily soluble in water and a large number of organic solvents. It is also known that insoluble and more or less swellable copolymers based on N-vinylpyrrolidone-2 may be manufactured by introducing difunctional vinyl or acrylic compounds having crosslinking action into the polymeric structure in conventional manner, e.g. divinyl esters of dicarboxylic acids such as succinic acid and adipic acid, diacrylates of polyhydric alcohols such as ethylene glycol and butanediol-1,4, vinyl acrylate and N,N' -divinylethylene urea. However, not even the use of relatively large amounts of difunctional components makes it possible to produce polymers showing only sparing swellability in water.
The swellability of such polymers may be determined by stirring a weighed quantity of polymer with an excess amount of water and allowing the mixture to stand for 24 hours, after which the polymer is filtered off and the weight of the gelatinous residue is determined. The swelling factor f may then be calculated from the following formula:
swellability f = weight of residue divided by initial weight of polymerProportion of crosslinker in Swelling factorpolymer of N-vinylpyrrolidone-2______________________________________10% of divinyl adipate 6.714% of divinyl adipate 6.520% of divinyl adipate 6.210% of butanediol-1,4-diacrylate 18 5% of vinyl acrylate 1510% of vinyl acrylate 810% of N,N'-divinylethylene urea 9______________________________________
When such polymers are manufactured, there is also produced a considerable proportion of soluble, i.e., uncrosslinked, polymer.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,938,017 discloses a method of producing insoluble polymerized products by heating N-vinylpyrrolidone-2 alone and without the addition of water in the presence of basic compounds such as alkali metal or alkaline earth metal oxides or hydroxides or alkoxides at 150°C and at pressure of 100 mm of Hg, the temperature of the reacting mixture rising to about 200°C. Although this produces only slightly swellable polymers, the latter show at least marked yellowing on account of the high temperature used during their manufacture. Furthermore, under these conditions the reaction is difficult to control.
German Published Application No. 1,268,391 describes a process for the manufacture of insoluble poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone-2, in which N-vinylpyrrolidone-2 is heated in the presence of water and catalysts such as alkali metal hydrides, alkali metal borohydrides and/or alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxides or alcoholates in an autoclave under pressure at about 140°C until polymerization is initiated, whereupon the mixture is cooled to about 80°C and the reaction is completed at from 80° to 100°C.
Although this process also provides only slightly swellable polymers, it has the disadvantage that very high temperatures are necessary to initiate polymerization, this requiring the use of pressure vessels where water is included in the reaction mixture. Further drawbacks are the long irregular induction periods followed by a very vigorous reaction causing discoloration of the polymer.
Since insoluble and sparingly swellable polymerization products of N-vinylpyrrolidone-2 must show a high degree of purity when used as adsorbents, particularly for clarifying vegetable drinks such as beer, wine and fruit juices, it is desirable to find a way of allowing polymerization to proceed under mild conditions, both chemically and thermally, to avoid the production of decomposition products.
German Published Application No. 2,059,484 (see the corresponding U.S. Pat. No. 3,759,880) describes a process which comes very near to solving this problem. In this process monomeric N-vinylpyrrolidone is polymerized in aqueous solution in admixture with monomeric cyclic acid amides containing at least two ethylenically unsaturated groups of which at least one is attached to an amide nitrogen atom. The reaction is initiated in the presence of metals susceptible to attack by oxygen or in the presence of polymer seeds obtained from the monomers in the presence of such metals.
The said process involves a long induction period (about 2 to 3 hours) during which the temperature is raised from about 30°C at the beginning to the boiling temperature of the mixture. The actual polymerization can only be completed at this latter temperature. The cited reference proposes the use of polymerization initiators such as peroxides for shortening the induction period.
It is an object of the present invention to produce the aforementioned products in the presence of said cyclic acid amides in a shorter time.
The process for the manufacture of insoluble and only sparingly swellable, crosslinked polymers of N-vinylpyrrolidone-2 or copolymers thereof with other N-vinyllactams by polymerization or copolymerization of monomeric N-vinylpyrrolidone optionally together with other N-vinyllactams in aqueous solution and in the presence of from 0.5 to 10% by weight, based on monomeric N-vinylpyrrolidone, of a cyclic acid amide containing at least two ethylenically unsaturated groups of which at least one is attached to an amide nitrogen atom, is characterized in that the polymerization reaction is initiated by heating the reaction solution at at least 80°C and preferably at more than 90°C and completing the reaction at the boiling temperature of water.
The possibility of carrying out the reaction in the manner proposed by the present invention is unexpected, since it was always assumed that the reaction could only be effected after initiation in the presence of metallic iron or similar metals or at least by the addition of peroxide catalysts. It is also surprising that the reaction produces high-grade polymer showing sparing swellability, although the reaction is immediately started at a temperature of more than 80°C. Neither does the reaction started at this high temperature become uncontrollable, as one would have assumed.
Thus the fact that the reaction can be started at above 80°C and completed at the boiling temperature of water to give the products stated overcomes a definite prejudice.
The starting compound for the process of the invention is a commercially pure N-vinylpyrrolidone, as stated in said German Published Application No. 2,059,484. Other starting compounds are the cited cyclic acid amides having two ethylenically unsaturated groups of which at least one vinyl group is attached to an amide nitrogen atom. Examples of these compounds (hereinafter referred to as "crosslinkers" for the sake of simplicity) are N,N'-divinylimidazolidone-2 (N,N'-divinylethylene urea), N,N'-divinylhexahydropyrimidinone-2 (N,N'-divinylpropylene urea) and N-vinyl-3-ethylidenepyrrolidone-2. The amount of said difunctional compound to be used may vary from 0.5 to 10% by weight, based on the N-vinylpyrrolidone-2 used. We prefer to use from 1 to 4% by weight of said crosslinkers.
Part of the N-vinylpyrrolidone may be replaced by other N-vinyllactams. For example, up to 50% and preferably from 10 to 30% of the N-vinylpyrrolidone-2 may be replaced by N-vinylcaprolactam. Copolymers made in this manner show no differences from normal insoluble poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone. In the case of copolymerization with other vinyllactams, the amount of crosslinker used is based on the sum of all vinyllactams.
Polymerization may be carried out in aqueous solution. The water used may be distilled water or fully demineralized water. The amount of water may be varied within wide limits, a convenient amount being from 400 to 1,500% by weight based on the total N-vinyllactams. However, the presence of water is not essential in the process of the invention, but it is convenient, since it assists the stirrability of the reactants and is thus advantageous in removing the heat of reaction.
The reaction of the reaction mixture in the form of an aqueous solution of the monomers to be polymerized and the crosslinker may be initiated by simply heating it to at least 80°C, the reaction being completed at the temperature of boiling water, without any other additives (catalysts) being necessary.
Specifically, the process is carried out for example as follows:
Commercially pure monomeric N-vinypyrrolidone and crosslinker, optionally together with e.g. N-vinylcaprolactam, are made up to an aqueous solution conveniently having a concentration of from 6 to 20%. To avoid hydrolysis of the reactants it is convenient to adjust the pH of the reaction solution to weakly alkaline, e.g. to 9 to 10, by the addition of dilute caustic solution. The reaction may be carried out in any type of reaction vessel without this having any appreciable influence on the reaction product. The mixture is heated as rapidly as possible, which depends on the size of the batch, to at least 80°C and preferably to above 90°C to initiate the reaction. The large amount of water avoids local overheating (hot spots). The reaction is complete after from 2 to 2.5 hours.
The crosslinked polymers or copolymers produced in the process of the invention are insoluble in water, acids, bases and the usual organic solvents. They are only sparingly swellable in water. Their swelling factor is from 2.7 to 5. They are distinctly superior to copolymers of N-vinypyrrolidone with difunctional acrylic and vinyl compounds produced by conventional processes, as regards purity and swelling factor.
The crosslinked, sparingly swellable and insoluble polymers or copolymers produced in the process of the invention show no quality differences from the products obtained in the manner described in German Published Application No. 2,059,484. However, the simpler method of manufacture (no addition of catalyst) and the shorter induction period constitute an unexpected technical advance.
In the following Examples the parts are by weight.
In a stirred vessel of glass having a capacity of 1,000 parts by volume and equipped with thermometer and reflux condenser, a mixture of 100 parts of N-vinylpyrrolidone-2, 2 parts of N,N'-divinylimidazolidone-2 and 900 parts of distilled water is heated with vigorous stirring to the boil under reflux (100°C). To avoid hydrolysis of the vinylpyrrolidone, the pH of the mixture is adjusted to 9-10 by adding dilute aqueous caustic soda.
After approximately 15 minutes the first white polymer seeds appear in the reaction solution and these then visibly grow to larger agglomerates. Vigorous stirring finally produces a white aqueous suspension of granular polymer particles.
The water which evaporates during the polymerization reaction is condensed in the reflux condenser and returned to the stirred vessel. The reaction is seen to slow down markedly about 35 minutes after the appearance of the first polymer seeds. To complete the reaction, the reaction mixture is maintained at the boil for a further 2 hours with stirring. The aqueous polymer suspension is cooled and then filtered or centrifuged. The resulting polymer is washed three times with distilled water to remove soluble portions and is then dried in a vacuum drying cabinet at 80°C. There are finally obtained 89.2 parts of a pure-white, granular to crumbly polymer which is sparingly swellable in water and completely insoluble in the usual organic solvents such as hydrocarbons, alcohols, esters, ethers, ketones, organic halogen compounds and organic nitrogen compounds. It is non-meltable and shows no decomposition on heating until a temperature of above 300°C is reached.
Example 1 was repeated using 75 parts of N-vinylpyrrolidone, 1.5 parts of N,N'-divinylimidazolidone and 925 parts of water. The starting temperature was 100°C and the time taken for the first seeds to appear was 20 minutes. The yield of pure-white insoluble poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone was 87.8 parts.
Example 1 was repeated using 100 parts of N-vinylpyrrolidone, 3 parts of N,N'-divinylimidazolidone and 900 parts of water. The starting temperature was 90°C and the first seeds appeared after 35 minutes. The yield was 90 parts.
Example 1 was repeated using 100 parts of N-vinylpyrrolidone, 4 parts of N,N'divinylimidazolidone and 900 parts of water. The starting temperature was 100°C and the first seeds appeared after 30 minutes. The yield was 90.4 parts.
Example 1 was repeated using 60 parts of N-vinylpyrrolidone, 15 parts of N-vinylcaprolactam, 1.5 parts of N,N'-divinylimidazolidone and 925 parts of water. The starting temperature was 100°C and the first seeds appeared after 30 minutes. The yield was 88.9 parts.
Example 1 was repeated using 100 parts of N-vinylpyrrolidone, 3 parts of N,N'-divinylhexahydropyrimidone-2 and 900 parts of water. The starting temperature was 100°C and the first seeds appeared after 25 minutes. The yeild was 91 parts.

Brad Rock: Coach Gary Andersen and Utah State ace the season
Historically, timing has been crucial in Logan. So Bruce Snyder (Cal), Charlie Weatherbie (Navy), and John L. Smith (Louisville) moved on while Chris Pella, Chuck Shelton, Dave Arslanian, Mick Dennehy and Brent Guy hung on long enough to get axed.
Pragmatically speaking, Andersen should move, too. With the arms race building in college football, it's hard to imagine USU competing forever for his talents. At the same time, recruiting and fundraising are on the rise. Another fine year and Andersen might even match Stew Morrill, the Aggie basketball coach whose contract extensions run until he's approximately 90. Andersen grew up in Utah and has spent his entire coaching career here. Money matters, but so do roots.
This fall he signed his own extension that would take him through the 2018 season, though buyouts are always possible.
Still, he binds to his teams in a way few coaches do.
To borrow his own phrase, he's a tremendous players' coach.
He has certainly bought himself some time. Guy lasted four years, yet only won nine games.
But coaching carousel talk seemed tangential, following the win over Idaho. It was time to celebrate. Fans pushed onto the field chanting "Gary! Gary!" to which he replied by grabbing the microphone and chanting "Aggies! Aggies!"
By the end of the day, the biggest worry in Logan wasn't whether the Aggies would go bowling, or even whether Andersen would leave. Those seemed to have been answered. Rather, it was how to get that "A" on Old Main changed to an A-plus.

نيك خلفي جامد صوره واضحه أوي I would like to tell a little story to set the stage for your understanding of these abundance principles. نيك السوة Feng Shui, also called the Chinese Art of Placement, is a technique that is thousands of years old for bringing balance to one`s home, business and the land that surrounds them.
نيك السوة In order to learn more about this, an astronomer names Mark Reid led a team that measured the distances to 10 bright galactic landmarks using 10 radio telescopes in Hawaii, across the United States, and the U. نيك السوة The Haitian j�-rouges typically try to trick mothers into giving away their children voluntarily by waking them at night and asking their permission to take their child, to which the disoriented mother may either reply yes or no. Some bikinis can offer a large amount of coverage, while other bikinis provide only the barest minimum. Involuntary werewolves, on the other hand, are werewolves by an accident of birth or health. نيك قراءه كالقصه Most homes do not fit in a box, so to speak, so you have to know - and feel - how to define and treat the feng shui areas that are either missing, or extending from you home bagua shape.
نيك قراءه كالقصه You will start looking at yourself, you will start looking at your job, you will start looking at business and other people in a far more exciting and valuable light than you ever thought possible. نيك قراءه كالقصه Within a 2 week period, A company called my husband to see if he was interested in working for them and I received a raise at my job. Fennoscandian werewolves were usually old women who possessed poison coated claws and had the ability to paralyse cattle and children with their gaze. The former are generally thought to have made a pact, usually with the Devil, and morph into werewolves at night to indulge in nefarious acts. نيك شهدالشمري It is this.

Venezuela drafts in an army general to fight its economic crisis
| updated at xx
Venezuela's Socialist President Nicolas Maduro has just named an army general as the new finance minister to fight an economic crisis that includes soaring inflation.
He also pledged there would be no currency devaluation this year despite a rampant black market for dollars.
Shoppers face empty shelves because government price caps and currency controls – intended to help Venezuela's poor – mean there is a shortage of dollars needed to import products.
Food shortages are compounded by inadequate domestic production.
The economy of the energy rich country grew by an estimated 1.6 percent last year, down from 5.6 percent in 2012. Annual inflation was 56.2 percent.
Analysts say a devaluation of Venezuela's currency is long overdue to rectify distortions in the economy, but Maduro has ruled that out. He blames corruption and sabotage along with speculators and hoarders for the problems.

About this design:
You may remember the Pollination II necklace from not too long ago that the customer wanted modified?
She wanted a coordinating bracelet made from memory wire ... and she wanted something pretty dramatic! Just finished it today, so will have to see what she thinks.
Some of the pearls were drilled too small to put on the memory wire, so I wire wrapped them and made them dangles to ensure she had every color of pearl in the original necklace.
Components:See above.

More pics and stretched out version … SLS
Wow!! Shannon this is beautiful!! your client will love it!!! Wow!!
Your creations are always jaw droppingly beautiful Shannon.
Hi Shannon and Copper Penny, thank you and thanks for checking this out! SLS
So beautiful Shannon if she dosen't like it ….well I know she will….just wonderful!!!
Very, very nice – and I LOVE the colors in your Pollination jewelry!!!
Thanks Deb and Wenche … she has been known to not like things and want them changed around. And if that happens, then I may have to make another necklace with beads in these colors as everyone really seems to like the combo! SLS
what beautiful colors in your beautiful bracelet !!!
This is beautiful, and to work in all the pearls to make this one special.
Thank you Dora, Leafy River and Lynn! SLS
Beautiful! Every one likes to have dangles from a bracelet! I know she will love it! I do!
Great color and I love the way it looks on the memory wire.
Amazingly beautiful! (but what a strange client!?)
Stunning bracelet Shannon, I'm sure your client will love it, the colors are wonderful!!
Such a wonderful bracelet design and gorgeous colors, Shannon! She is sure to love this one!
Amazing colors. I do remember that necklace….
Lucky that some of the pearls got too small hole, now it looks nice with some pearls coming "out" from memory wire. Funny thing is that right now I am drilling those silly-too-small-holes larger. Quite a work!
The color combination is awesome, and the dangling pearls add a beautiful touch to the design, fabulous bracelet I am sure your client will love it!
Just beautiful!
Shannon, this bracelet is definitely dramatic and absolutely beautiful! Can't imagine your client wouldn't want it. But then it sounds like you have a client my Katie! (remember the mother of pearl)
If you are looking for drama you achieved it! Great bracelet. How could you not like it?
Thanks you guys. Yes, Gem Chick, I remember your MOP that you made for your client! And yes, Arja, I too was making the holes larger for a while (funny you are drilling some now) with a bead reamer and decided my time and energy wasn't worth it based on the final price of the piece, thus the loops!! SLS
Shannon this is gorgeous I'll wear this in a heartbeat and my favorite color too! Fav!
Terrific – thanks for sharing the info about not drilling pearls – that creativity is much appreciated.
Thank you Alice, Tara and M Mathews! Yes, M Mathews, making little wire wrapped dangles was a much easier solution, plus the dangles look cute when it's on!! SLS
Looks like a good match to the necklace and also a fun item to wear. Another great design.
This item was SOLD to the customer today! SLS
I'm so glad she liked it Shannon!
Gorgeous your customer will love it!!!
Yes, Gem Chick, Martha and Beth, she did like it! Yippeee. Thank you. SLS
Shannon, this is very cool! Love the colors; what a creative solution to the too small drilled pearls!

Stephen Hawking: There are no black holes
27 January 2014 [14:06] -
Stephen Hawking has a big announcement. No, it's not that aliens exist or that humans won't survive another 1,000 years on Earth. The physicist claims, in a paper posted online Wednesday, that the idea of an event horizon—the point of no return at a black hole—conflicts with quantum theory. With no event horizons, there are no black holes, according to Hawking.
"There is no escape from a black hole in classical theory," Hawking told Nature News. Quantum theory, however, "enables energy and information to escape from a black hole." Instead of an event horizon, Hawking's new paper proposes a so-called apparent horizon, which would suck in matter and eventually spit it out in a much different form. Hawking says trying to predict what this matter will be like would be like trying to predict the weather: possible, but very difficult to do.

About meI am a reader of Mystery, and good drama but not into the coming of age books even though I have 11 grandchildren that I foist books upon and as a result they know I will always buy them a book or series if they ask. My mysteries run more to the series and investigative story line rather than the hard core true crime. Edgar Sawtell was the last really great book I read, (though I have enjoyed others) it haunted me.
About my libraryAs you see I love books! I have an Ipad but I am still learning to read a book on it. I also listen to audio books that I got into the habit of listening to in the car with grandchildren's books as Graveyard and such. They beg me to turn on the cd when they get into the car after school.
