Help Reduce Your Toxic Burden: Tips from the President's Cancer Panel
05/10/10 0 Comments | Posted by Brenda Watson in General
Last week I told you about a new report just released by the President's Cancer Panel—a panel of experts created in 1971 to keep the president informed about the activities of the National Cancer Program. It's a 200-page report that warns about the dangers of environmental pollution on the nation's health and urges government to take a stronger position on the regulation of these chemicals in our environment.
In an effort to determine the effects of environmental toxins on our health, the PCP report reviews the dangers of exposure to industrial chemicals that persist in the environment (like PCBs), as well as insecticides, herbicides and fertilizers; heavy metals such as mercury and arsenic; air pollution; tobacco smoke; contaminated drinking water (including pharmaceutical drug contamination); electromagnetic waves (think cell phones); UV radiation; and even military chemical exposure. What's more, it gives recommendations to help reduce our exposure to these harmful toxins. Here are some of the highlights:
- "Parents and child care providers should choose foods, house and garden products, play spaces, toys, medicines, and medical tests that will minimize children's exposure to toxics.
- Both mothers and fathers should avoid exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals [such as BPA] and known or suspected carcinogens prior to a child's conception and throughout pregnancy and early life, when the risk of damage is greatest.
- Family exposure to numerous occupational chemicals can be reduced by removing shoes before entering the home and washing work clothes separately from other family laundry.
- Filtering home tap or well water can decrease exposure to numerous known or suspected carcinogens and endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Unless the home water source is known to be contaminated, it is better to use filtered tap water instead of commercially bottled water.
- Storing and carrying water in stainless steel, glass, or BPA-free and phthalate-free containers will reduce exposure to endocrine-disrupting and other chemicals that may leach into water from plastics. Similarly, microwaving in ceramic or glass instead of plastic containers will reduce exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals that may leach into food when containers are heated.
- Exposure to pesticides can be decreased by choosing food grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers and washing conventionally grown produce to remove residues.
- Exposure to antibiotics, growth hormones and toxic runoff from livestock feed lots can be minimized by eating free-range meat.
- Avoiding or minimizing consumption of processed, charred, and well-done meats will reduce exposure to carcinogens.
- Individuals can choose products made with non-toxic substances or environmentally safe chemicals.
- Reducing or ceasing landscaping pesticide and fertilizer use will keep these chemicals from contaminating drinking water supplies."
Though all of this information at once may seem a little alarming, I can't stress enough how important it is that the danger of toxin exposure is finally receiving the attention it should. My hope now is that more people will take responsibility for their health—and the health of our planet—by taking steps to reduce toxins in their daily lives.
American Cancer Panel Warns Nation: Environmental Toxin Exposure is Killing Us
05/7/10 0 Comments | Posted by Brenda Watson in General
I know I spend a lot of time talking about toxins—so much so that you might even wish I'd talk about something a little more positive once in a while. But then I read something like this and I'm reminded of just how important it is to help people understand the danger that's right in front of us every day: harmful toxins are out there, and we and our loved ones are suffering the consequences.
In a bold move by the President's Cancer Panel—a panel of experts created in 1971 to keep the president informed about the activities of the National Cancer Program—a 200-page report has been released that warns about the dangers of environmental pollution on the nation's health and urges government to take a stronger position on the regulation of these chemicals in our environment. Said one of the panelists, "We wanted to let people know that we're concerned, and that they should be concerned." And if that doesn't shine a pretty big light on the subject, I don't know what does.
Statistically, 41 percent of all Americans are diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives, and about 21 percent of Americans will die of the disease. The rates of some types of cancer are increasing, as is the rate of cancer in children. Experts aren't entirely sure why, but the role that environmental toxins plays in the development of cancer is becoming increasingly clearer.
Still, this is not new news. In fact, I and the entire natural health community have been talking about the detrimental health effects of toxins for years now, but what makes this story so significant is that for the first time mainstream medicine is actually listening. Let's face it—you don't get more mainstream than the President's Cancer Panel folks!
Of the more than 80,000 chemicals currently used in the U.S. (with over 1,000 new chemicals introduced each year), only a few hundred have actually been tested for safety. In fact, the report states, "Many known or suspected carcinogens are completely unregulated." I talk about this and many of the same issues in my book The Detox Strategy. Look for more on this report from me in the coming days as we uncover the ugly truths about how toxic exposure is undermining our health and the health of our children.

The ES-5808P is 8-port desktop PoE Web smart Fast Ethernet switch that is designed for small or medium network environment to strengthen the network connection. This compact size design makes the ES-5808P ideal for users with limited space.
Complies IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) Ports
The ES-5808P features eight IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports which supply electricity at up to 15.4 Watts per port. It can convert standard 90 ~ 260VAC power into low-voltage DC that runs over an existing LAN cable to supply the power for IEEE 802.3af compliant network accessories. The ES-5808P also features PoE detection to verify whether the connected device is IEEE 802.3af compliant or not. If it is not a PoE device (PE), only the data will be sent through LAN cable. The ES-5808P can connect with different PoE products such as Access Points, IP cameras or IP phones - it is the best solution where the power outlets are difficult to install or the power outlets are too far for the device.
No Special Networking Cable Required
Just use the standard Cat-5 Ethernet cable to link between the ES-5808P and the powered devices (PE). This Ethernet cable can transmit both data and power. No power wire is needed for the powered devices (PE). It reduces the installation time and cost.
Supports Smart Features
The ES-5808P Web smart features can be managed through a Web Browser. The smart features include simple QoS/CoS applications and basic monitoring tools to improve network efficiency. The ES-5808P also supports bandwidth control and port based VLAN. Through a Web interface, an administrator can set up VLANs to segregate traffic and QoS to prioritize mission-critical data. All of these features offer extra protection on the network edge. Best of all, the password-protected configuration interface can be accessed remotely. It increases the IT manager's mobility.
Supports Auto-MDI/MDI-X
Every port of the ES-5808P can automatically detect the type of cable. There is no need to choose crossover or parallel cables when you are connecting this switch to another switch or to a computer.
Supports Auto-Negotiation
Every port of the ES-5808P can automatically distinguish the connected network devices are running at 10Mbps, 100Mbps and Half/Full-Duplex mode. The ES-5808PE can adjust the speed and mode accordingly.
Supports Non-Blocking Wire Speed
The ES-5808P receives and forwards traffic seamlessly with its non-blocking wire-speed. Every port of the ES-5808P has the speed up to 200Mbps in full-duplex mode simultaneously. This feature provides full wire speed to the connected devices and allows you to run a high speed network smoothly.
Supports Store and Forward Architecture
With the store and forward architecture, the ES-5808P can maximize network performance while minimizing the propagation of bad network packets.

text: The Republicans are nothing if not united in their opposition to anything the Democrats try. In the case of health care reform, their stance from the beginning has been to kill it at all costs. It's an outrage that it takes 60 votes in the Senate to accomplish anything when the minority party is unanimously hostile to the majority party. We can argue the merits of this particular health care bill forever, but that's never really been the point of the opposition. If it were, the Republican party would have been trying to make the bill better rather than scuttle it. They argue that they've been shut out of the process, but that's not even close to the truth. Little they've offered has been constructive, and nothing they've proposed even comes close to solving the problems our current non-system of health care presents to tens of millions of Americans. As the old saying goes, if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. Sadly, the GOP has indicated that it will fight granting more Americans access to affordable health care all the way.

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has launched a program that will enable many employers to resolve past worker classification issues and achieve certainty under the tax law at a low cost by voluntarily reclassifying their workers.
This new program will allow employers the opportunity to get into compliance by making a minimal payment covering past payroll tax obligations rather than waiting for an IRS audit.
The new Voluntary Classification Settlement Program (VCSP) is designed to increase tax compliance and reduce burden for employers by providing greater certainty for employers, workers and the government. Under the program, eligible employers can obtain substantial relief from federal payroll taxes they may have owed for the past, if they prospectively treat workers as employees.
The VCSP is available to many businesses that erroneously treat their workers as non-employees or independent contractors, and now want to correctly treat these workers as employees.
To be eligible, an applicant must:
- Consistently have treated the workers in the past as non-employees
- Have filed all required Forms 1099 for the workers for the previous three years
- Not currently be under IRS audit
- Not currently be under audit by the Department of Labor or a state agency concerning the classification of these workers
Employers accepted into the program will pay an amount effectively equaling just over 1% of the wages paid to the reclassified workers for the past year. No interest or penalties will be due, and the employers will not be audited on payroll taxes related to these workers for prior years.

Jacqueline Fernandez after locking headlines for biggest sequels including Murder 2, Housefull 2 and Race 2 in the most sizzling role is inclined towards fun and comedy. Jacqueline who has dabbled in various genres admits to comedy being her favorite.
Actress said, "Comedies are much more fun to work on. You have the most stress-free time. The best part about working on comedies is that you can be spontaneous and light-hearted."
The actress however is keen on experimenting with versatile roles ,not wanting to restrict herself to a certain genre,adds Jacqueline, "The beauty of being an actor is that you can experiment with your roles. You get to play make-believe and dress up differently for every movie. For me, this is the essence for being an actor. I try and aim for as many different roles as possible."

Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm Reviews
Drying and irritatingI find that this lip balm tends to dry out my lips and make them peel. Thus, this is a completely useless lip balm for me. I prefer Paula's Choice Lip & Body Treatment Balm, although I wish it came in a stick like Burt's Bees instead of a pot. Ingredients: beeswax, coconut oil, sunflower oil, tocopheryl acetate & tocopherol, lanolin, peppermint oil, comfrey root extract, rosemary extract. — 8 years, 5 months agozernelle | 130 reviews

:)I love this lip balm. Next to my usual carmex lip balm for when my lips get really dry it works wonders. I usually only wear it at night when I go to sleep or when I am out in the sun and my lips become parched. — 8 years, 5 months agoblondie88 | 38 reviews

i love itits not gritty at all and it is smooth and refreshing, cooling, exactly like the tube says. I like the smell and even an hour later my lips feel good, and even if it comes off I sometimes dont need to apply more b/c my lips still feel good. — 8 years, 5 months agodaftstephi | 8 reviews
Not my favoriteI liked the taste but did not like how the formula felt gritty and would look clumpy on my lips, especially after applying lipstick. I prefer Blistex Daily Conditioning Treatment. It's smoother, has SPF 20 and lasts longer. — 8 years, 5 months agoKHP | 3 reviews

Parental Guidance Movie Reviews
User reviews on Parental Guidance
farty arty this movie was crappppp seriuosly who goes to a 13 dollar movie on Chirstmas it was garbage and i bet they got the idea from a homeless man and on the toliet
im 48 and i liked the movie its not age its wat u like
the worst movie ever..............................................................................................................................................................................
This senior citizen thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I found it funny and bittersweet. Beth Midler did a great job, along with Billy Crystal. Go to the theater and see it. You will enjoy it! Don't be cynical, live a little, laugh much!
Let's put this movie in context. If you are a parent with young kids, you will love this movie. It is very wholesome and truly funny. Billy Crystal was totally funny. My kids (8 and 6) totally loved it, too.
Too many "critics" on here have squawked about the supporting cast. Bette Midler was really good. Everybody else was decent. Nothing horrible, nothing great, just normal.
A few tear jerker moments near the end (Being a guy, I tried to casually wipe a few tears from my eyes without getting noticed). All-in-all, a very good movie to see with the family.
I saw this film with my whole family and we all had an alright time watching it, however I do not recommend seeing this film in the theaters. The film felt outdated and a bit sappy, the youngest members of my family enjoyed it the most due to the fact that the adults in the film were acting ridiculous and that brought a lot of joy to the kids. I think that the main flaw of this film was that the characters were not believable, well actually the older couple was but everyone else was highly unbelievable. The film also kind of ran out of jokes by the end and became extremely sappy and melodramatic which annoyed me a lot. Overall, there are better family films than this one and I suggest you skip this one.
Sorry folks, but I loved it. I highly recommend seeing this film, and yes, see it in the theater. Sure, the story line is predictable. But it's a good story (second chances and loosening up an uptight family of kids), and it's incredibly funny. I can't call it a chick flick, but it's a good wholesome family movie.
Constant amusement.........great acting..........even jerked a tear or two. Don't miss this.
Now, if you don't like Billy Crystal or Bette Midler, well then you'll hate the film. We loved it, and I'd bet most of you will too.
it is a great funny movie which i highly recommend for all ages. now among my favorite movies
I am visiting my family for the Holidays and I have a huge family so seeing a film with everybody is a hard thing to do because of different tastes and ages. Anyway, I thought this film will do because it has something for the kids and the older audience. I thought the film was alright, I would have never seen it if I was not visiting my family, but I had an okay time watching it. I thought Bette Midler and Billy Crystal did a great job and I really enjoyed their performances, however the rest of the cast were not that good and definitely not believable.
I saw this film with my whole family and none of us liked it. I am disappointed to say that because i love Bette Midler and Billy Crystal and i think that they are great actors and they were amazing in this film, however the film itself was really bad and it did not deserve the cast that it had. The film was not funny at all, i mean the jokes were horrible and the film was full of stupid cliches and stereotypes. THe film offers a flat and confused look at generational differences. I saw it with 10 members of my family whose ages range from 10 years old to 85 years old and there was not a one person that enjoyed watching this film, so i do not recommend seeing it in the theaters.

A man who is standing trial for the alleged murder of a young Alaska woman tore free from his leg irons and unsuccessfully tried to escape from court, according to a report from MSNBC.
The man, 34-year-old Israel Keyes, was somehow able to escape from his leg shackles and tried to leap over the bar that separated court spectators from him and his attorney, but his flight did not last very long.
Sources say that security officers in the building quickly disabled Keyes by striking him with a stun gun, and the courtroom was cleared soon after the escapee was caught.
There remains, however, some suspicion about how Keyes was able to free himself from his leg chains. In the words of the supervising deputy, Dave Long, "I've been doing this 20 years and have not seen one pulled like this."
The mystery of the detached leg irons may never be solved, but the court has bigger concerns to address. Chief among these concerns is determining who killed 18-year-old Samantha Koenig, an Anchorage resident, this February.
This week, Keyes is starting a criminal defense against the state's allegations that he kidnapped Koenig from the coffee stand where she worked and killed her less than a day later after the abduction.
Sources say that Koenig's abduction was a major news story in Alaska for weeks, until her body was found almost two months later in an ice-covered lake north of Anchorage.
One month earlier, police had arrested Keyes in Texas. Sources say that Keyes withdrew ransom money from an ATM using a debit card he had stolen from Koenig. Keyes is believed to have stolen the card and her phone from her vehicle after he abducted her.
Police believe that surveillance footage showing a man in a hooded shirt taking Koenig away from her workplace shows Keyes, although his criminal defense attorney may dispute this at trial.
Perhaps the state's strongest evidence against Keyes is the record of text messages he sent using her phone in an effort to conceal his actions. Later, Keyes would use her phone to demand ransom money, which he wanted to be deposited into the account that was accessible through her debit card.
Keyes' desire to escape the courtroom is understandable, given the stakes of his trial. The state of Alaska does not have the death penalty but sources say that the crimes of kidnapping and killing do carry the possibility of the death penalty under federal law.
At press time, however, the U.S. attorney had not yet decided whether the federal government will seek the death penalty in this case.

We have ubuntu 12.4 (Desktop Version) running on our server and four engineers (2 using windows and 2 using ubuntu). Is it possible for all of them to code on the same package on the server directly from their machine (remotely) ... Is there a tool to create a remote working terminal for each of them or maybe using file sharing etc ?
You should use a revision control system such as
You could install a nx-server on a machine and access it remotly with nx-client. This will allow you to setup a good development plattform which can be accessed from any OS from anywhere.
Still, sharing the working sourcecode is a absolute no-go. Invest the time to setup git or at least svn. This will become a hugh timesaver in less than a month. I use git even when I work locally on my hobby projects.

I have just purchased a new HP dv7t-7000 and I would like to run Windows 7 / Ubuntu.
How do I setup the dual boot? Can I install both operating systems with an 8gb USB drive?
Can I still make use of the 32gb SSD? I'm unfamiliar with the efficacy of using an SSD for caching with a 750gb 7200rpm sata 3 drive. I can only see using it for windows 7 - which I have installed in order to play games.
Thank you!

TC TO WILLIAM GRAHAM ; 27 February 1843; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18430227-TC-WG-01; CL 16: 62-63
Chelsea, 27th Feb'y, 1843.
My dear Friend,
You wrote me a very kind but Melancholy letter about the New Year time, which I was almost of Mind to write and admonish you about;1 and now another brief, but too emphatic missive announces that a new great sorrow has fallen upon you,—your good Brother lives no more under this sun. Alas, Alas, what are all human sympathies? the friendliest pity of one man for another? It is a great loss that has fallen on you, a bitterness which no sympathy can sweeten. He was your Eldest Brother, I think, the Pioneer of you all in this adventurous life-pilgrimage, and a dark cloud has suddenly hid him from your sight. He is away with God who made us all!
The reflection that can tend to compose a man and Brother in such extremities is this, of the ancient Psalmist we shall go to him, he shall not return to us!2 No, not to us, but we are travelling swiftly towards Him, out of a long Eternity he has but gained a little hour upon us, we have to bow our heads and keep silence, or say only God's great and just will be done.— Your reflections and speculations in the former letter were full of undue gloom. You were wont to be of a cheerful hoping heart, and have often admonished me for my despondences, and what was far nobler, encouraged me under them. I would fain here, if it were in my power, do the like for you. A rational man is bound by all considerations and necessities to look fixedly and with the unspeakable awe into that great Eternity, towards which at all moments he is travelling, and of which his whole earthly work is as it were a symbol, but reverence, not fear or despondence beseems us nevertheless.
My despondences have been many and long continued, and will not quit me while I live, but looking into Eternity, I could never see it to be other than a still home, unknown, but still and safe where the weary were at rest. I consider that we do know nothing more of it, that no man ever did or will know more of it while in this life; and that in all ways our attitude towards it is that of Hope, the very essence of us seems to be HOPE,3 God is love and Hope, I had almost said; we have ever more to trust in God.
My dear friend, you must not let gloomy remembrances, gloomy anticipations overcloud you. On the whole I wish the sun would shine out, that you could get abroad in the fields, to the Hillsides again, look if that be a world made by one unkind to us! I find the green grass and the blue sky worth a thousand homilies to me when in distress.
My hurry in these weeks & months is enormous. I am writing a book again—near done now, let that account for all things.
My true sympathies and regards to Miss Graham,4 God bless you both.
Your affectionate,
T. Carlyle.

We are pleased to announce that Barbara Howe has received an endorsement from the Libertarian Party presidential candidate and former governor of New Mexico, Gary Johnson.
Governor Gary Johnson states, "Barbara Howe has been a strong advocate for the message of liberty in her many years of involvement with the Libertarian Party. Her experience, commitment, and energy make her a great candidate for Governor of North Carolina. She is a fellow athlete and her dedication to spreading the message of liberty is exemplified by her campaign goal of visiting and running a 5K in every one of the 100 counties in North Carolina. If the voters of North Carolina want a Governor who will protect their tax dollars and their personal liberty, then, Vote for Libertarian Barbara Howe."

Husbands, do you feel appreciated? How long has it been since your wife honored you for your hard work and sacrifices for the family?
Well, men, tomorrow is your day, Husband Appreciation Day 2010! So, just relax on the couch, go to the new Buffalo Wild Wings in Denton with your buddies, or go fishing right? You deserve it don't you?
Many men feel comfortable with a little "me time" to compensate them for their sacrifices as a family man. However, men seem to struggle with recognition from their loved ones. Why would men ask for the rewards of being great husbands/fathers, but not want to be singled out for it?
- They don't understand how important they are. Sometimes men just don't understand how important their roles as husband, father, uncle, or son are, only seeing these roles as a duty. In fact, these roles are their duty, but someone who does their job well every day deserves recognition.
- They feel guilty for not appreciating the efforts of their loved ones. Wives, mothers, fathers, and even children make sacrifices as well, and sometimes men take those for granted, just like they downplay their own efforts. Men struggle with guilt when they are appreciated on Father's Day or a birthday, but don't return the favor to those around them.
- They are too busy to slow down for appreciation. Just like it's hard to hit a moving target, your family will have a hard time appreciating a moving target. Men can go so long without feeling appreciated and become bitter, simply because they never give anyone a chance to tell them how important they are.
So, husbands, fathers, and all men, slow down today, drop your guilt, and reflect on how much you sacrifice for others. Let them show you their appreciation.
But be ready because now that they've recognized you, you have to remember Valentine's Day, anniversaries, birthdays, Christmas, Mother's Day, Grandparent's Day, Teach Your Daughter to Volunteer Day...

I received these e-mails about Coach Mike Bradley, who has been attacked for cutting a double-amputee pitcher. It appears Bradley is one of the good guys in coaching. I hope the school and district stand by him.
As a mother of a child with multiple disabilities I am appalled that this even made it into the Orlando Sentinel as a discrimination piece. As the article reads 23 boys were cut, because of their abilities not disabilities, even two seniors that have been playing ball since their freshman year.
My oldest son is a four year varsity baseball player at Dr Phillips High School. There is a banner with my son's name on it hanging on the home bleachers. Not my son that plays baseball but his younger brother, Luke, that was born with Down Syndrome, diagnosed with Autism at age 4, and ADHD at 6. He is now 14 yrs old and still has incredible sensory difficulties when it comes to dealing with crowds and noise. When we bring him to the games he has to sit in a particular area at the top corner of the bleachers. If you happen to be sitting there, look out he will be adamant that you move. As a matter of fact, we have taken him to some games that he notices his special area is full so he beelines back to the car and we miss the game.
Last year I was explaining Luke's issues to Coach Bradley, and this year, at our annual Blue and White game, there was the reserved sign/banner just for him. It brought tears to my eyes that the Coach would take the time, out of an extremely busy schedule, to make sure my son with disabilities is included in the DPHS baseball program.
Discrimination….I don't think so!
Cannot tell you how happy I was to see your article in the paper today. Finally someone standing up for Mike Bradley as well as high school baseball. Diaz, along w/ many others, blew this way out of proportion and it could not have happened to a nicer, more respected young head coach. After playing for Bradley at Edgewater in 2004, I was fortunate to further my baseball career, playing at the University of Alabama for 4 years and currently in the Colorado Rockies organization. Mike Bradley played a part in my success and I'm grateful you defended him so that other players will have a chance to be coached and influenced by him.
-Kent Matthes
Mr. Thomas – Thanks for the article in the Sentinel today backing Coach Bradley. Not only is he a friend of mine, but a great baseball coach too. He learned to run a program from two of the best in Central Florida, Jeff Perez at Winter Springs and Mike Barefoot at DP. He did the right thing in making his decision, albeit a very tough one. The worst day for baseball coaches is the day we have to make cuts, but it has to be done. We are hired to win games, get kids to the next level, and have them graduate and be a productive citizen in our community. Mike Bradley has done and will do all of these. Thanks again!
Mike, Thank you for the honest perspective on Coach Bradley's situation at Dr. Phillips. As a high school coach, I know the harsh realities of competition and I felt terribly for Coach Bradley's situation. Most coaches do this for the kids, and if I was in his position it would have been rough making the call he did. Thank you for reporting on his emotional struggles with this decision so our community may realize he is not an evil man, nor is he committing an evil act.
Bradley coached for us a few summers back, assistant coach. He is a solid guy. He is coaching for all the right reasons. I can't believe this is happening to him. I haven't seen him since he coached for us, but I remember him as a thoughtful, competent coach. Thank you for shining the light on an injustice.
For your story about Coach Bradley. I just wanted to let you know that me, and many people I know, appreciate you looking at the correct side of this. I played baseball for coach Bradley, and he is the nicest coach I played for, going as far to help me with off the field trouble…

Photo – light. Graph – drawing. Photographs are light drawings. These photographs also include drawings of light. Though I've always drawn, since infancy, this body of work presents my first finished electronic drawings. While sometimes drawn to emphasize what is only dimly seen, more often than not these new drawings of light present geometries imposed on the no longer blank canvas of the photograph.

Apartment apprehension
Residents, planning commissioners not sold on south Charlotte project
GCI is looking to build about 250 apartments on the site next to Providence Pointe and has asked the city to rezone the property from "MX-2 mixed-use" to "UR-2 urban residential conditional" so the company can get started on its project. Opponents, though, say they are worried about, among other things, the project bringing more traffic to the area.

To add rigidity to the back half of the car, Wes snaked our square tubing through the inside of the rear framerails on our Mustang. As you can see, a lot of angle cutting is involved to get everything to fit together snugly but, if you want a good stiff car, this is the way to go. We cut off everything behind the shock mount and stopped with the tubing there, too. A plate is welded onto the end, and well use lighter-weight steel to fabricate the rest.

My homework question is what is the product of rotations through opposite angles $\alpha, -\alpha$ about two distinct points. The answer is clearly a translation, but I'm not sure how to prove it. My idea on how to prove this is to draw a triangle, ABC, and its two rotations, A'B'C' and A"B"C", and then show AA", BB", CC" are parallel, however I don't know how to get to this point.

A rotation can be represented as as reflection in two lines intersecting in the point of reflection. These lines can be chosen arbitrarily, except that he angle between them must be half the required angle of rotation. So you need four lines. Choose two of these coincident. Reflection in coincident lines cancel. The remaining two lines are parallel. Reflection in parallel lines is a translation.
Hint: Distance and orientation preserving transformations of the plane are a composition of a translation with a rotation with a translation, or in other words, rotation about some fixed point composed with a translation. Furthermore, when you take the product of two such distance and orientation preserving transformations, the rotation angle you get is the sum of the two rotation angles. So the angle of rotation you get is $0$, so what can the transformation be?

Illustrated Kundalini Yoga Stretch Pose for Core Abdominal Power
Summary: The famous Kundalini Yoga Stretch Pose is detailed and illustrated in this first entry in the new Free Online Illustrated Kundalini Yoga Poses & Exercises E-Book. Pictures of both, the normal pose and beginner version of this yoga posture are provided, along with practice details, benefits, tips and instructions.
Yoga Pose Core Abdominal Power
Illustrated Kundalini Yoga Pose #1
The very first kundalini yoga pose from the Free Online Illustrated Kundalini Yoga Poses & Exercises E-Book will be the powerful Stretch Pose. This yoga pose is a frequent entry in many Kundalini Yoga kriyas, especially those that deal with opening, healing and balancing the important navel chakra, the third chakra of the kundalini yoga seven chakra system responsible for your abdominal region.
Early in your kundalini yoga practice, it is important to focus on the abdominal area. This is because strengthening your navel center will, not only give you important core energy to develop your yoga practice, but will also help build your character and willpower, which are essential for a long term consistent, fruitful practice.
Below, you will find 2 illustrations of kundalini yoga stretch pose, the first is the normal pose, and it is followed by an illustration of the modified version of stretch pose. You can also switch back and forth between the two poses, as you develop your abdominal strength. Below that are practice details and instructions for this most important kundalini yoga exercise. Also, provided are the online Kundalini Yoga Kriyas which use this posture.

Wisconsin Genealogy & History Resources
Columbia County, Wisconsin Genealogy and History
County Seat: Portage
Parent: Portage County
* Records before the establishment of the county may be in the parent records.
Neighboring Counties
From: Handbook of Wisconsin by S. Silas, 1855
pg. 55-56
Population in 1850, 9,565; in 1855, 17960; increase 8,395.
The County is nearly in the centre of the present settled portion of the State, and lies on both the Wisconsin and Fox Rivers, which approach within two miles of each other at Portage City--the former a rapid, changeful current, subject to sudden rises, flowing between high banks and over falls; the latter sluggish and unchanging, with marshy banks, or spreading itself into doubtful lakes, and navigable with little water.
The land of the whole ofthis (sic) country is good, the surface diversified with rolling prairies and burr oak openings. There is little timber growing in this County, but the want of it is well supplies by the Wisconsin pineries, the timber from which is floated down the Wisconsin River to and past this county.
Few counties in the State have increased within the past five years with the rapidity of this. All north of the Fox River, then known as Indian lands, is now well filled with people. There is consequently little good Government land to be had--in truth, it was nearly all taken as soon as brought into market.
Portage City, on the Wisconsin and Fox, here connected by a canal, is the county seat, and one of the most prosperous and busy towns of the State. The Wisconsin is navigated up to this place. It contains a bank, two weekly papers are published there, and it commands the trade of a large country, especially that lying up the Wisconsin River.
Columbus, on the Catfish, contains a population of about 1,000, and is a busy, thriving place.
The La Crosse and Milwaukee, and the Milwaukee and Watertown Rail Roads are both to pass through this County, and will soon reach it. The Wisconsin Central Road has its terminus at Portage, connecting it with Chicago direct.
