Few figures exerted greater influence over the music of the 1960s and 1970s than
Isaac Hayes
; after laying the groundwork for the Memphis soul sound through his work with Stax-Volt Records,
began a highly successful solo career which predated not only the disco movement but also the evolution of rap.
was born on August 20, 1942, in Covington, TN; his parents died during his infancy, and he was raised by his grandparents. After making his public debut singing in church at the age of five, he taught himself piano, organ, and saxophone before moving to Memphis to perform on the city's club circuit in a series of short-lived groups like
Sir Isaac and the Doo-Dads
the Teen Tones
, and Sir Calvin and His Swinging Cats. In 1962, he began his recording career, cutting sides for a variety of local labels.
Two years later,
began playing sax with
the Mar-Keys
, which resulted in the beginning of his long association with Stax Records. After playing on several sessions for
Otis Redding
was tapped to play keyboards in the Stax house band, and eventually established a partnership with songwriter
David Porter
. Under the name
the Soul Children
, the
duo composed some 200 songs, reeling off a string of hits for Stax luminaries like
Sam & Dave
(the brilliant "When Something Is Wrong with My Baby," "Soul Man," and "Hold on, I'm Comin'"),
Carla Thomas
("B-A-B-Y"), and
Johnnie Taylor
("I Got to Love Somebody's Baby," "I Had a Dream").
In 1967,
issued his debut solo LP
Presenting Isaac Hayes
, a loose, jazz-flavored effort recorded in the early-morning hours following a raucous Stax party. With the release of 1969's landmark
Hot Buttered Soul
, he made his commercial breakthrough; the record's adventuresome structure (comprising four lengthy songs), ornate arrangements, and sensual grooves -- combined with the imposing figure cut by his shaven head, omnipresent sunglasses, and fondness for gold jewelry -- made
one of the most distinctive figures in music.
After a pair of 1970 releases,
The Isaac Hayes Movement
To Be Continued
, he reached his commercial zenith in 1971 with the release of
, the score from the
Gordon Parks
film of the same name. Not only did the album win
an Academy Award for Best Score (the first African-American composer to garner such an honor), but the single "Theme from Shaft," a masterful blend of prime funk and pre-rap monologues, became a number one hit.
After 1971's superb
Black Moses
and 1973's
composed two 1974 soundtracks,
Tough Guys
Truck Turner
(in which he also starred). By 1975, relations with Stax had disintegrated following a battle over royalties, and soon he severed his ties with the label to form his own Hot Buttered Soul imprint. Although both 1975's
Chocolate Chip
and 1976's
went gold, his records of the period attracted considerably less attention than prior efforts; combined with poor management and business associations,
had no choice but to file for bankruptcy in 1976.
After the 1977 double-LP
A Man and a Woman
, recorded with
Dionne Warwick
began a comeback on the strength of the hit singles "Zeke the Freak," "Don't Let Go." and "Do You Wanna Make Love." Following the success of his 1979 collection of duets with
Millie Jackson
Royal Rappins
, he issued a pair of solo records, 1980's
And Once Again
and 1981's
Lifetime Thing
before retiring from music for five years. After returning in 1986 with the LP
U Turn
and the Top Ten R&B hit "Ike's Rap,"
surfaced two years later with
Love Attack
before again dropping out of music to focus on acting.
In 1995, fully enshrined as one of the forefathers of hip-hop and newly converted to Scientology,
emerged with two concurrent releases, the vocal
and instrumental
Raw and Refined
. Under the official name
Nene Katey Ocansey I
, he also served as a member of the royal family of the African nation of Ghana while continuing simultaneous careers as an actor, composer, and humanitarian. In 1997,
provided the voice of what was slated to be a one-time character on the animated series South Park -- Jerome "Chef" McElroy, the main characters' favorite school cafeteria worker.
was an instant hit, and Chef became a regular character on the show, lending advice and, oftentimes, breaking into songs that gently sent up
' image as one of R&B's ultimate love men.
South Park made
more visible than ever and cemented his status as an icon with a whole new generation. He contributed the infamous "Chocolate Salty Balls" to the South Park tie-in album
Chef Aid
, and naturally appeared in the film South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut. (He left the show only after an episode made fun of Scientology.) In 2000,
revisited his biggest triumph of the past by appearing in the remake of Shaft starring Samuel L. Jackson. The following year, he supported
Alicia Keys
as a musician and arranger on her acclaimed debut,
Songs in A Minor
. Although he recorded little during the 2000s, he appeared in many films, including 2004's Hustle and Flow.
was in ill health on August 10, 2008, when he collapsed at his home in Memphis and was pronounced dead later that day of a stroke due to high blood pressure.

At the end of the last episode, Claire's plan to secure her freedom by being the best prisoner ever blew up in her face spectacularly. Turns out when you act like you want to hang out with your captors, they are less likely to let you leave. Funny that. But undeterred, Claire hatched a plan. A plan based on a folk song. A folk song that she disregarded pertinent information from (I blame the Rhenish). So, yeah. This should go well. Can Claire escape "The Gathering"? ******************* As the credits fade, scaffolding appears. No, not quite. It's men with guns in tree stands. Out in the open.

Question: What is Black Berkey PRICE RANGE?
ANSWER: $228 and up, prices varying by size. See below for details on pricing, dimensions, flow rates, capacities of Black Berkey systems.
QUESTION: Why are WHITE CERAMIC systems cheaper than BLACK BERKEY systems?
ANSWER: White systems are cheaper-- they only filter out about 99% of contaminants, meaning about 1% of contaminants are left remaining in your water. BLACK BERKEYS remove contaminants down to NON-DETECTABLE levels, including bacteria, chemicals and medications-- and trihalomethanes that make tap water poisonous.
QUESTION: What about FLUORIDE & ARSENIC?
ANSWER: PF-2 Reduction Elements utilized with BLACK BERKEY elements to adsorb unwanted elements in drinking water, namely Fluoride, Arsenic (Arsenic V and pre-oxidized Arsenic III) and other residual heavy-metal ions. NOTE: Utilize PF-4 filters for WHITE ceramic filter Berkey systems
QUESTION: Why is it "WHITE FILTER" but "BLACK BERKEY ELEMENT"?
ANSWER: One is merely a FILTER (White). The other, MORE POWERFUL, actually PURIFIES water (BLACK)
QUESTION: What is "2X" or "4X"?
· 2X systems ship w/2 individual elements (or filters)
· 4X systems ship w/4 individual elements (or filters)
BERKEY systems come complete w/2 or 4 indiv. elements (or more, in multiples of 2)-- both ship as TwinPACKS. Order additional BLACK BERKEY purification elements for additional savings-- Black Berkeys have an indefinite shelf life when stored in a cool, dry place
QUESTION: What is the LIFESPAN of a BLACK BERKEY ELEMENT?
ANSWER: BLACK Berkeys last 3,000 gal. of water EACH (a laboratory MINIMUM, so with care they may last longer!)
QUESTION: Can I clean BLACK BERKEY ELEMENTS?
ANSWER: YES, simply scrub with a clean ScotchBrite pad!
STEP 1. WHITE Ceramic Sterasyl FILTERS vs. BLACK BERKEY ELEMENTS?
Decide on a white CERAMIC STERASYL FILTER system vs. a BLACK BERKEY ELEMENT system:
o White FILTERS only "filter" water by removing up to 99% of contaminants in some cases— leaving 1% in your water--
o ...which is why they're called just "filters"-- these filters are white, made of ceramic & have a "chalky" feel. They come in 7-inch and 9-inch sizes.
o 1% is "1-in-100 parts" contamination, i.e., one molecule of contaminant per 100 molecules remaining in your filtered water
· BLACK BERKEY PURIFICATION ELEMENTS actually ''purify" water, with many contaminants removed to "less than detectable limits"--a far superior job than the white Sterasyl filter—the BLACK BERKEY in other words removes so many contaminants from your water that modern equipment cannot detect any contaminants remaining when your BLACK BERKEY is through purifying it--
· "Non-detectable limits" are measured as less than "parts per billion"—in other words, less than one part contaminant remaining in your water per one BILLION parts of your Black-Berkey purified water
o This is why BLACK BERKEYS are called "Purification elements"—NOT "filters"-- BLACK BERKEY ELEMENTS are black in color (hence the name!) & look like "tall candles" just like the WHITE FILTERS.
o Because of our new book, "A Year of Drinking Berkey Purified Rainwater," we talk to many "off-the-gridders" who tell US that the BLACK BERKEY is the best water treatment element out there. Already you now know why Black Berkey systems are pricier than white
· Now you know why white systems are called "BRITISH BERKEFELD" & BLACK systems are called "BERKEYS"-- we sell more BLACK systems than white by a factor of 10:1
STEP 2: (If you have decided on a BLACK system, go to STEP 4, below.) Now you've decided to purchase a white CERAMIC system. white Sterasyl systems come in as follows: ALL white SYSTEMS are STAINLESS STEEL. There is no Lexan plastic white ceramic Sterasyl "Light" unitwhite systems come in two SIZES: · 7" filters · 9" filters
How to decide on the 7" vs. 9"? Smaller filters filter water at a SLOWER rate than larger filters. If time is a consideration and you want to filter water faster, go with a 9" system. (NOTE: Both 7" and 9" filters filter water IDENTICALLY efficiently— the difference is in the timeframe because more water can flow through a 9-inch-long filter than through a 7-inch filter) · FLowWOOLF sells an even number of 7- and 9-inch systems · The white CERAMIC systems do a fine job of filtering your water
STEP 3. (If considering a BLACK BERKEY system, go on to STEP 4 below.) You're purchasing a white system. FINAL DECISION: Choose whether your system will ship with 2 (called "2X") or 4 (called "4X") filters total:
· ADVANTAGES of 4X: o Save some $$: Choosing a 4X system saves you money that you'd pay for a replacement set later
o TIP: Use PLUGS provided to plug 2 holes; only use 2 filters in your system; put the OTHER 2 filters in cupboard—now you have a SPARE SET-- CLEAN, DRY, NEW replacement set
· ADVANTAGES of purchasing a 2X: o Lower price
You're FINISHED. You now know you'll order a BRITISH BERKEFELD w/7" or 9" filters in a total-shipped quantity of 2 or 4.

I'm worried about being too small to deliver naturally?
I've talked to my doctor about this and she said you really can't tell until it comes time to give birth.
I was 100lb pre pregnancy. I'm 32 weeks and 120lb. I'm very slender. My hips are tiny. I'm worried that she will be too big to fit through and I'll have to have a C-Section, which I REALLY don't want =[
Has anyone else been really small before pregnancy and still delievered naturally?
Bodies can do amazing things :)
Good luck.
Before I had my first I was 94lbs, I'm 5ft and I wore size 0.
I've had a 9lbs 5oz baby, just fine.
You'll be fine.
Yeah, I am really small (5ft 95lbs prepregnancy) and I delivered my daughter at 42weeks and she was 8lbs. It was a tough delivery but I didn't need a c-section!

Wherever you happen to live in the CSRA, there may be rules that your local government puts into place related to a variety of things, including the types of pets you can have, perhaps how many and whether or not they need to be licensed or registered.
Most counties in our community have an animal control department that you can contact for information and if you live within a city limits, you can speak to them too, about animals before you move there. The rules are typically designed to protect their citizens from impulse choices people might make like preventing someone from having a horse in their backyard on a small city lot, raising chickens in your condo development parking lot, or even out in rural areas to keep someone from setting up their own zoo full of lions, tigers, and bears, oh my!
The rules also are in place to help local governments get some idea how many animals are in their jurisdiction, so they can better plan for the size of the animal department they employ, as well as the size of a stray animal holding area they need when stray dogs and cats are found in their community.
If you live within the city limits of Aiken, for example, you are required to register your dogs and cats with the City of Aiken's Animal Control department. The registration is a lifetime registration, so you don't have to worry about renewing it every year.
Registration is fairly easy. You can contact the department at 642-7620 or visit them at 251 Laurens St. N.W. in downtown Aiken for more information. You can also stop by and visit us at the SPCA Albrecht Center at 199 Willow Run Road in Aiken or give us a call at 648-6863.
Registration costs vary on a variety of factors, such as whether or not your pet is spayed or neutered, microchipped and up to date on rabies shots. If you said yes on all three of those items, then the lifetime registration is free.
If you dog or cat isn't already spayed or neutered, the City of Aiken has a voucher program for its citizens that you may qualify for. In many cases, for only $15 you can have your dog or cat altered, microchipped and given a rabies shot in the SPCA's new regional spay and neuter clinic and the registration will then be included for the life of your pet.
This program is a win for the City of Aiken in a variety of ways. It helps register more pets, so the city has a better handle on the number of animals living within the city limits. It also gets more pets microchipped, which is a great way to reunite a lost pet with its owner as any shelter, animal control officer or veterinarian's office can check a found pet for a chip, which will quickly help reunite the pet with the owner looking for them.
More female dogs spayed means fewer going into heat, drawing attention from unaltered male dogs in the neighborhood. When we have more male dogs being neutered, it means they are less likely to wander out of their yards, which means fewer strays and fewer incidents of dogs getting injured when they leave your property.
The other great thing about when these pets get altered is, of course, they won't add to the pet overpopulation problem most communities in the south experience. Fewer unplanned litters of puppies and kittens turned into local shelters is a good thing for shelters and governments alike. If you don't live within the city limits of Aiken, you may not need to register your pet, but if you want your dog or cat altered, your community may have a low cost voucher program of their own. If you live in the city limits of North Augusta, call 441-4298 for information about their programs. If you live anywhere else in Aiken County, call 642-1537 to learn about their voucher program.
Gary Willoughby is the president and CEO for the SPCA Albrecht Center for Animal Welfare

A Baltimore City Circuit Court judge has dismissed a lawsuit by Baltimore Comptroller Joan Pratt over Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake's plan to install a new phone system.
The 11 News I-Team has been following the issue from the start.
Baltimore City Circuit Judge Pamela White dismissed Joan Pratt's suit Wednesday evening. The comptroller had claimed that Rawlings-Blake's administration had circumvented the city's competitive bidding process in contracting with Digicon Corp. of Rockville.
The administration hopes to install an Internet-based phone system for city employees.
A representative for Rawlings-Blake said the mayor is pleased with the favorable ruling, as was city Solicitor George Nilson.

When did GBP find out about the positive test?
The news of all of this broke the day before the fight, and it seemed to come as a surprise to Garcia. I'm wondering how long GBP knew about it, and whether or not they kept it secret for as long as possible so that it'd be too late to get a replacement.
There have been claims before about USADA possibly favouring GBP. Could be BS but this whole situation doesn't seem quite right.

nobody from golden boy announced that Morales tested positive. they wanted to cover it up as they always do. Scott Hale from halestormsports broke the story after 2 or 3 sources told him what happened. if Hale wouldnt have done it, nobody would have found out.

Yeah, it's a bit odd.
I don't care for USADA to be honest. After Tygart's sketchy comments back when, I thought dude was a bit suspect...maybe it was just bad wording on his part, and I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt Boxing needs better testing, and I'm all for VADA, an organization that has a boxing person behind it, amongst others perhaps. An orginazation I believe cares for Boxing more than selling a product.

Tuesday, April 9, 2013
A divided council took the first step Monday toward increasing the mayor's pay, though any changes won't take effect until after the municipal election in November.
Council voted 4 to 2 to increase Mayor Bill Collins's pay to $45,000 until Dec. 31, 2015, the end of his current term.
If council doesn't deal with the question of the mayor's pay, expected hours and responsibility before that deadline, the compensation would revert to $15,000 on Jan. 1, 2016.
The six council members discussed the issue in an executive session that lasted so long that Collins had to leave for a meeting in Charleston before hearing their decision.
Councilmen Aaron Brown and Bob Jackson voted against the change, though Jackson said his vote might change when the written ordinance comes before full council.
Brown objected to the part of Councilman Terry Jenkins's motion that would give the council seated as of Jan. 1, 2014 the responsibility for defining the salary.
Brown said council can't and shouldn't bind future councils, but Jenkins said his motion wouldn't bind the council to act.
Jackson said council should define the position of mayor and determine the salary accordingly. The salary should be according to position, not the person holding the position, he said.
Council began looking at the mayor's salary because of the hours that Collins puts in. On paper the job is part-time, but Collins has been working a full-time schedule and most council members want to give him more money.
The town is also saving money by not having a town administrator.
However, no one on council wants to end up with a strong mayor system, Jackson said.
Charleston and North Charleston have strong mayor systems, in which the mayor works full time and runs the town.
Under the council system adopted by Summerville, the mayor is essentially an at-large council member, with no more authority than any other council member except that given him by council.
Council gave Collins additional powers because he had the time and desire to devote more energy to the job and former Town Administrator Dennis Pieper had resigned shortly before the 2011 election.
The next town election is this fall, when odd-numbered districts come up for a vote. This year will mark the first time the municipal elections are held in November.

PORTLAND, OREGON - December 12, 2012 - Leonard Crale, Jr. tests electrical connections in the yard prior to turning on the lights for the holidays. He and his two sisters put months of effort every year into decorating the family house for the Christmas season. The tradition is a labor of love begun sometime in the 1950s by their parents Annie and Leonard Crale, Sr. when they were alive. Faith Cathcart/The Oregonian

20 February 1998
(US "proud to cast its vote" expanding program for Iraq) (1150) United Nations -- Deputy U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations Peter Burleigh says the United States "is proud to cast its vote" in favor of the UN Security Council resolution expanding the humanitarian oil-for-food program for Iraq. The resolution would allow Iraq to increase the dollar amount of oil it can sell on the world market in order to finance the importation of humanitarian goods such as food and medicine. In remarks to the Council February 20, Burleigh said: "The United States is deeply concerned about the welfare of the Iraqi people, and we want to do everything we can to make sure their basic needs are met." Burleigh said Baghdad's "failure to commit its own resources to support his humanitarian recommendations, is a telling reminder of the Iraqi government's true attitude toward the plight of its people. "That is why the United States stands ready to work closely with other members of this Council to ensure that this resolution works as intended -- works not for the benefit of the Iraqi regime, but for the welfare of ordinary people in Iraq," he said. Following are the US/UN remarks, as prepared for delivery and as read to the UNSC: (begin text) STATEMENT BY AMBASSADOR A. PETER BURLEIGH, UNITED STATES DEPUTY PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVE TO THE UNITED NATIONS, IN THE SECURITY COUNCIL, IN EXPLANATION OF VOTE, ON IRAQ -- OIL FOR FOOD PROGRAM ENHANCEMENT, FEBRUARY 20, 1998 Mr. President, the United States is proud to cast its vote today in favor of this resolution to expand the 986 humanitarian program in Iraq. It is, quite simply, the largest UN-sanctioned humanitarian program in the history of this organization. As such, it is a concrete demonstration that the United Nations, and in particular the members of this Council, remain committed to meeting the essential humanitarian needs of all Iraq's people. Let me make our position very clear. The United States is deeply concerned about the welfare of the Iraqi people, and we want to do everything we can to make sure their basic needs are met. For that reason, we welcomed the Secretary General's recommendations. We strongly supported expansion of the 986 program to make it more effective and more efficient. We favored an increase in the dollar amount of oil sales permitted under the program in order to finance the importation of additional humanitarian goods. We believe that expanding the scope of the program is desirable and in fact essential to its humanitarian goals. Our position and that of all the other members of the Council stands in stark contrast to the policies of Iraq's leadership. While Iraqi children have gone hungry, Saddam Hussein has diverted scarce resources to build more palaces and weapons of mass destruction. While Iraq has ceaselessly complained about delays in the Sanctions Committee, it has submitted many 986 contracts that fail to meet the criteria and procedures that Iraq agreed to with the U.N. Secretariat, and has routinely stooped to political favoritism in the 986 contracting process. And after the Council extended the 986 program twice in 1997, the Iraqi government twice delayed new oil sales under the resolution, needlessly slowing the delivery of humanitarian goods, and forcing the Council to adopt resolution 1129 to avoid further deterioration of the humanitarian situation. Indeed, Iraq refused even to provide input to the Secretary General's report, a report intended to provide to the Council recommendations on ways to improve the delivery and increase the supply of humanitarian goods to Iraq. On February 5, Iraq sent its official "observations" on the Secretary General's report, in which it rejected many of his proposals and recommendations. Most notably, it rejected his call for an ongoing distribution plan and his practical expectation that Iraq would contribute local resources to infrastructure projects. The use of one's own resources to help one's own people is a basic moral obligation that should form the cornerstone of a responsible government's reaction to real humanitarian needs. Iraq's failure to provide information for the Secretary General's report, and its failure to commit its own resources to support his humanitarian recommendations, is a telling reminder of the Iraqi government's true attitude toward the plight of its people. That is why the United States stands ready to work closely with other members of this Council to ensure that this resolution works as intended -- works not for the benefit of the Iraqi regime, but for the welfare of ordinary people in Iraq. We must give the Secretary General our strong support and clear guidance as he implements this massive program, including a significant expansion of the United Nations observation and monitoring function in Iraq. We must make certain that food and medicine, and infrastructure improvements directly related to their distribution, remain the top priorities under this new resolution. Nothing is more important to the basic welfare of Iraqi citizens. We must make certain that the goods imported into Iraq under this resolution are carefully observed and monitored, so they cannot be diverted to military purposes or used for the personal benefit of the Iraqi leadership. We must make certain that the other commitments Iraq agreed to when it accepted resolution 986 -- paying a certain percentage of oil revenues to fund UNSCOM, the U.N. Compensation Commission, and other important functions -- are honored. We must make certain that the Sanctions Committee acts quickly yet responsibly to approve contracts in a manner consistent with the intent of this and other relevant resolutions. And we must wait until we have more and better information before authorizing any oil infrastructure improvements under this resolution, and do so only after careful consideration on the basis of the Secretary General's forthcoming report and of the humanitarian objectives of this resolution. Let me remind everyone that resolution 986 was intended by the Council as a temporary measure to provide essential humanitarian assistance to the Iraqi people, not as a vehicle to refurbish Iraq's economy. That will be possible only when the sanctions authorized by the Security Council are lifted. And that, in turn, will happen when Iraq complies fully and unconditionally with all relevant resolutions of this Council. It is sad that the Iraqi leaders have postponed that day for so long by consistently and flagrantly flouting their obligations under the resolutions, obligations that they themselves agreed to under the terms of the gulf war ceasefire. Unfortunately, as long as the government of Iraq persists in its mistaken belief that it can defy the will of the international community and that of the Council, the sanctions must remain in place. And the United Nations will continue to carry the burden that the Iraqi government has refused to bear -- caring for the welfare of the people of Iraq. Thank you, Mr. President. (end text)

This review is from: HEC Vigilance400 Black 0.5 mm Thickness SGCC MicroATX Mini Tower Computer Case with Dual 8cm Fan, 2x USB2.0, Audio HP400 400W Power Supply
Pros: Reasonably Priced case with 400W Power Supply. Plenty of space inside for MicroATX board and parts
Cons: Front Control Panel wiring is awkward and the HD Audio cable barely stretched to the port on the motherboard. Fans use standard Molex connectors instead of connecting to the motherboard fan power/monitoring plugs.
Other Thoughts: I really liked the look of this case as it was very OEM-like and I purchased it for a client computer build. I was happy with it until I wanted to use the 3.5" bay for a multi-card reader and noticed the the front control panel wiring for the USB Ports and HD Audio ports was right in the center and was very awkward to get out of the way so I could use the 3.5" bay.
This made the internal wiring even shorter as I had to push it out of the way and the HD Audio cable that connects to the motherboard was barely long enough.

Mums@Ryde is excited to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Ryde Midwifery Group Practice caring for the women and families of Ryde.
We have always been a passionate group at Ryde, and it was this passion which started the group practice all those years ago. In consultation between the Mums@Ryde founder, Michelle Eroffeyef, our beloved midwives Anne Keely and Leonie Hewitt, some very passionate academic midwives including Professor Sally Tracy and Donna Hartz, and political support from John Watkins, the Ryde Midwifery Group Practice became the first publicly funded stand alone group practice in Australia.
We are proud to have been a part of their journey, and we are the grateful beneficiaries of their care.
We hope you can all come to help celebrate this important occasion.
RSVP to the Midwives on 9858 7549 for catering purposes.
Update on Ryde's new birth space
Today (12th July), in a spirit of consultation, NSW Health has offered to leave the Ryde Midwifery Group Practice in its existing space instead of relocating them to a shiny, new but inadequate space. Mums@Ryde are very happy with the outcome.
A new focus group will be established to consider where a new birth space could be built. We will keep you posted on progress.
For now, we must say a big thank you to Victor Dominello (our local member) who has stood up for us, and to Jillian Skinner (Minister for Health) who has been prepared to listen and respect our views. We must also say a huge thank you to everyone who spread the word supporting us. We cannot be a voice alone, but only when we represent our community of families.
Mums@Ryde welcomes 1000th Ryde baby, Louis
Nicole Spargo gave birth to son Louis Anderson, who is the 1000th Ryde baby. We congratulate the Ryde Hospital midwives for their stupendous work over the years! Our heartiest congratulations also to the proud parents. Northen District Times published this article about this impressive feat.
Why does it matter where and how women give birth?
How often have you heard it said, "As long as my baby is healthy". While it is true that we all hope for a healthy baby, giving birth is much more than that. As mothers we begin our selfless journey with statements like these. But you don't have to start sacrificing yourself for your baby at birth. You can find maternity care which cares for you AND your baby.
One brave consumer, Bashi Hazard, has kindly shared her story with the NSW College of Midwives. She and the College have given their consent for us to publish the story on our website. It is one story, though often repeated, of how women can be let down by the system, and why it is vitally important that you choose the right care for you. Ask all the questions you need and don't be afraid to go elsewhere if it doesn't feel right for you.
To read Bashi's story, follow this link. We encourage you to post your comments underneath so that we can all benefit from each other's experiences.
Things to do around Ryde
From paintings to parks, to a punt and puffers – Ryde has plenty of low-cost ways to keep life interesting. Here are some ways that Mums@Ryde enjoy spending time with their kids…
Mums@Ryde in Parliament
Thanks to Dominic Perrottet, the Ryde Midwifery Group Practice and Mums@Ryde received a mention in the NSW Parliament. Here is an excerpt:
"On 28 September my wife, Helen, gave birth to our second daughter, Amelia Frances, through the maternity service at Ryde Hospital. It was a perfect birth—as perfect as births can be—through the support and care provided by the midwives at Ryde Hospital. The philosophy of the Ryde Midwifery Group Practice is to offer women the opportunity to give birth assisted by a named midwife in a low-risk setting. The group was acknowledged in 2004 as a leader in the provision of continuity of midwifery care within a primary health model to women without identified medical risk factors.
From my recent experience I can acknowledge them as the best in the business when it comes to support, preparation and post-natal care—in fact they are so good that they have their own fan page called Mums@Ryde,"
For the full report, click here to be taken to the Hansard Report.
Support our campaign for a Ryde Birth Centre
Mums@Ryde have decided that it is time to campaign for a new birth centre. Women need to know that they can have the best outcome by being cared for by their own midwife in a supportive enviroment, and they need a new centre to encourage the growth of the new birthing philosophy gradually permeating our culture.
To get an idea of what we could have, our President visited the new birth centre at Townsville in October. It is fabulous. We now have a new webpage dedicated to our cause. Visit it now!
We will need lots of help to campaign and fundraise. If you'd like to have a new Birth Centre at Ryde, please email us and offer your services.

It is not clear at this point whether it will reopen this year.
Public Safety Assistant Chief Brian Uridge said Tony Gerard, the owner of Phobia House on Portage Street, was told by City Fire Marshal Jim Williams during an inspection in 2009 that the facility needed overhead sprinkler and audible alarm systems to comply with state fire codes.
Uridge said the inspection was prompted by a complaint KDPS receieved in October 2009 from a patron of the haunted who was concerned and reported seeing combustible materials in the facility and "extensive use" of extension cords. Uridge said Gerard remedied the violations authorities found during the inspection, except for the installation of the sprinkler and alarm systems.
"We definitely want them to succeed," Uridge said. "It's an excellent attraction but we have to make sure that they adhere to the state fire safety requirements and that it's a safe environment for people to go into."
Gerard, who said he was told by Williams on Oct. 2 to shut the haunted house down, attributed the entire situation to a "major miscommunication" between Williams and himself.
He said based on conversations he and Williams had during the 2009 inspection, he made safety enhancements, including additional fire extinguishers, additional exits and the removal of extension cords, to the facility last year.
He said he believed that with those enhancements in place, the haunted house did not have to have an overhead sprinkling system in place this year to open its doors.
As for the sprinkler sytem, Gerard said he has purchased sprinkler heads for it but lacks the funds, as of now, to purchase piping and to pay for installation.
"I'm not contesting that Mr. Williams said we needed a sprinkler system," Gerard said. "He didn't make it clear to us that the fire extinguishers from last year wouldn't carry over to this year."
Gerard said, as of Wednesday morning, he does not know if Phobia House will be open for business this year.

text: Pillage Vatican City is a mixtape that every fan of hip-hop needs to listen to. For better or for worse, the current hip-hop scene is focused heavily on features, crews and image. Chris Villa managed to drop a mixtape with no guest MCs at all, and it doesn't hurt the quality of the album at all. Although most of the best beats on the mixtape come from Hanz, Villa is a formidable producer himself which is demonstrated nicely in this bonus track '30 Deep'. '30 Deep' has a shuffling electronic beat which is quite different from some of the harder beats that were featured on Pillage Vatican City. His flow is really developed on that song and the result is possibly one of my favorite tracks from Villa yet.

California leads the way for Obamacare
California, with the nation's biggest insurance market, continues to lead the nation in preparing for next year's launch of the Affordable Care Act, or "Obamacare."
Public option for health care back on the table
A group of Democratic lawmakers moved quickly yesterday and filed a bill that would give the people of the nation the right to choose a publicly run health insurance plan.
Millions of Californians now benefit from health care law
As the U.S. Supreme Court hears arguments by Affordable Care Act's opponents, including 26 states, other states are already putting parts of the law into practice as they look toward full implementation in 2014.
California fast tracks health care reform
The contrast could not be starker. In the nation's capital, Congressional Republicans move to cripple, if not kill, health care reform. In California, state public officials and health care advocates move aggressively to pump life into the landmark federal Affordable Care Act.

Born Minjin Adewale Lawanson Junior, he hails from Oyo state but was born and brought up in Lagos with his two younger siblings.
His unique name 'Minjin' was given to him by his mother; it means "son of the Most High" and was highly influenced by his mother's interest in Asian culture.
He went to Rising Sun Children school and later King Solomon secondary school and is a member of the Extremely Talented Artists (ETA) Foundation and the Society of Nigerian Arts.
Minjin has always been singing but started having the consciousness of being a singer at age sixteen. He can sing, paint, model and also plays the guitar. He is a diamond in the rough and has had his share of ups and downs in life; having a temporary stint as an up-and-coming painter in Lagos.
His recent accomplishments are playing Troy in the first all-black-cast High School Musical premiered in Nigeria and winning Centage (along with a brand new Toyota Prado jeep, 2 million naira cash and a 10 million naira record deal).
Minjin has started recording tracks already and even has a song with Goldie titled "You're the one". There's a single too titled "Kini ma se".
His first single "Turning Me Oun" is a massive jam and is bound to enjoy massive market acceptance. Minjin has just begun his road to stardom.
'Bunga! That's another word for the Nigerian music slangers. Minjin absolutely tears up the dancefloor with this one as he goes all native to good effect.
Get ready to bounce to 'de riddim' with this dancehall flavoured single from Centage winner and Kennis frontliner- Minjin. Dude's music iss absolutely easy on the ears and is the funk!
This is another one! The JT like futuristic sound that Nigeria deserves. Minjin's music is a trip. It's hard!

On the most recent edition of Consumer Countdown, Motley Fool consumer foods analysts Michael Finarelli and Sean O'Reilly join Mark Reeth to discuss all the biggest headlines from their sector.
One of the biggest belonged to Burger King Worldwide (UNKNOWN: BKW.DL ) , which had a solid quarter, especially internationally. Mike takes a look at the fast-food restaurant and compares it to Yum! Brands (NYSE: YUM ) , as he tries to figure out which is the better investment.
Sean also takes a look at Herbalife (NYSE: HLF ) and its 27% increase in profits this past quarter. He doesn't think the company deserves to be called a pyramid scheme anymore, especially after numbers like these.
Finally, Mike discusses AMC Networks' (NASDAQ: AMCX ) planned acquisition of Chellomedia from Liberty Global (NASDAQ: LBTYA ) . He has to decide if AMC or Liberty was the real winner in this deal.
Yum! is one company ready to take over the world -- what are the other two?

Googled... Maybe never shaking hands with a vegan again...
So I work at a natural foods store. On the upswing, I get to purchase local grass fed/finished beef, bison, and lamb, local free range/cage free chickens (and their little eggs too), local free range pig flesh (fed only on vegetables and what they scrounge on their own), and fresh local produce . . .
. . . on the downswing I sometimes have to sit through things like a Vegan Cooking Class that is almost entirely focused on tofu, tempeh, and other soy based products, like veganaise.
Still, it was informative (mostly because I took the time to ask questions that I wanted firsthand answers for) and only a little bit crazy (apparently meat has no fiber and therefore will not remove itself from your digestive system . . . but a 1/2" hex nut will? Go figure). At least she was honest enough with the women in the class to point out the estrogen difficulties that can spring up from over consumption of soy - though she also said that fermented soy, like tempeh, doesn't have this same problem.
In any case, as I always do when talking with Vegans, I asked where she got her B12 (I was particularly interested because she swore she didn't do supplements - only foods). Not surprisingly, her B12 source is primarily nutritional yeast, supported by regular consumption of fermented products that encourage the formation of B12 from bacterial growth.
Then, almost as an aside, she *pointed out* that simply neglecting to wash your hands on any given day would allow you to absorb plenty of B12 from the bacteria present on your skin.
Now, I'm all for getting dirty, walking barefoot in the soil, and I've been soap and poo free for going on a year now, but what is the likelihood that you have the right bacteria on your hands every day and that some of the toughest skin on your body is just going to start sucking in their leavings?
Not saying it couldn't happen. In fact, I personally think our society has lost out a lot in losing daily contact with he soil of our world. But I do remain skeptical (particularly because she was saying that a day without washing you hands was equivalent to getting a full day's supply of B12).
Any former Vegans or Veganphiles familiar with this and able to shed some light on my curiosity?
Oh, and for the record, not vegan, not going vegan, not planning on making the tofu scramble we learned in the cooking class (though I did take a bite . . . didn't taste like eggs . . . tasted like dry, chalky stir fry).

Oh, and that's a pretty apt description of tofu scrambles. They are pure nastiness.
Mark has mentioned in his book that Grok ate with his dirty hands (soil and other daily activities) which benefited by ingesting good bacteria. I don't recall if he has mentioned any ties with B12 which seems a bit far fetched, but would be interesting if there are any studies to prove it. If you eat the right stuff you don't have to worry about it.
Some yeasts do add bacteria, but if they ferment long enough it's a natural process. Either way it's better absorbed than a traditional supplement. Bragg's has a well-earned reputation for taking the time to do things right.Originally Posted by interzone
Hadn't thought of it that way. Our vegan chef said it was through direct absorption. Makes more sense that the bacteria would naturally transfer to food eaten or prepared by hand and ingested in the traditional fashion.Originally Posted by kenfuji
It may be slightly true, but I have read you have to consume a distinguishable amount of fecal matter to get enough B12. Dirty hands would not provide enough.
Unless you happen to be on a farm all day, the dirt on your hands is not the same! Im sure you cannot get B12 from the bathroom stall handle or the pay phone!

Samsung Electronics Co. unveiled a Galaxy S5 smartphone with a fingerprint reader and bigger screen than the current model as Asia's biggest technology company tries to keep high-end consumers from Apple Inc.'s iPhones.
The water-resistant phone will go on sale April 11 with features including a longer-lasting battery than the S4, according to Min Cho, marketing director at Samsung's mobile unit. The device, shown at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, uses Google Inc.'s Android software and has a download booster for fourth-generation networks and Wi-Fi.
Demand for high-end Galaxy devices was curbed by the release of new iPhones in September, squeezing sales in the most profitable segment of the market and contributing to Samsung's slowest earnings growth since 2011. The company announced its first wearable devices using Tizen software and plans more smartphones this year to fend off Apple and Chinese producers packing advanced features into inexpensive models.
The back of the Galaxy S5 has a leather feel, and the device will ship in black, white, blue or gold, the Suwon, South Korea-based company said. The smartphone is designed to withstand 30 minutes at the bottom of a meter-deep (3-foot) pond, Samsung said.
The main camera will have a resolution of 16 megapixels, compared with 13 megapixels on the S4 model, and the battery will last 20 percent longer than its predecessor, Samsung said.
Share Slump
The 5.1-inch display is full high definition on an active- matrix organic light-emitting diode, or AMOLED, screen.
Shares of Samsung fell 0.2 percent to 1,328,000 won yesterday in Seoul. The stock has dropped 13 percent in the past 12 months, wiping out about $28 billion of market value.
The iPhone 5s, which went on sale in markets including China, Japan and the U.S. on Sept. 20, has fingerprint-reading technology.
Samsung used a more low-key approach in unveiling the Galaxy S5, sharing the spotlight with carriers and producers including Sony Corp., Huawei Technologies Co. and HTC Corp. at Mobile World Congress. The S4 debuted at an exclusive gala at New York's Radio City Music Hall last March, yet fell short of its predecessor's shipments as the high-end market became more saturated.
Xiaomi, Lenovo
Samsung shipped 63.5 million units of the 5-inch S4, according to the median of three analyst estimates. The 4.8-inch S3 shipped about 65.6 million units, according to analysts.
Apple sold 51 million iPhones in the December quarter alone, and last month began selling the devices through China Mobile Ltd., the world's largest carrier with 772 million subscribers.
Samsung is the top smartphone vendor in China with 19 percent of the market in the fourth quarter, researcher Canalys said Feb. 20. The company is seeking to use the S5 to maintain that position against domestic producers including Lenovo Group Ltd. and Xiaomi Corp., which have 12 percent and 7 percent of the market, respectively.
Samsung last month posted a 5.4 percent rise in fourth- quarter net income to 7.22 trillion won ($6.7 billion), its slowest profit growth since 2011.

Blood Wounds by Susan Beth Pfeffer
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Release Date: September 12, 2011
Source: Publisher
Blood can both wound and heal . . .
Willa is lucky: She has a loving blended family that gets along. Not all families are so fortunate. But when a bloody crime takes place hundreds of miles away, it has an explosive effect on Willa's peaceful life. The estranged father she hardly remembers has murdered his new wife and children, and is headed east toward Willa and her mother. Under police protection, Willa discovers that her mother has harbored secrets that are threatening to boil over. Has everything Willa believed about herself been a lie? But as Willa sets out to untangle the mysteries of her past, she also keeps her own secret—one that has the potential to tear apart all she holds dear. (From HMH)
I've read Susan Beth Pfeffer's Moon series last year and loved it so much that when I found out she was coming out with a new book I was all down for it. I couldn't wait to read more from her and seeing what this story would be all about. Unfortunately though I was left a little disappointed, from reading the synopsis and seeing that haunting cover I expected to get into something dark and intense but I ended up having a hard time connecting with the characters and immersing myself emotionally like I usually do when I read an intense book.
I thought the synopsis was kind of misleading, the part about Willa's father only takes less than a third of the book and it was very sudden and resolved pretty quickly. The story focuses more on Willa trying to connect with the old town and the family that her mother ran away from, figuring out who her father really was and what would drive him to do such despicable acts. I like seeing the aspects of these different families and the small town where her mother and father came from, how dysfunctional it all was.
Blood Wounds did get my anger boiling, there were times when I wanted to scream at Willa to speak her mind or her mother to snap out of it and do something for her daughter for a change, especially towards the end when things start to change even more for Willa's family. Willa on the other hand is not an emotional person but hides her feelings and stress deep until she can't hold it anymore and she has the urge to cut herself for release. I wished that part of the story of Willa's deep emotional distress and her cutting would've had more of an important part of the novel, instead it just kind of gets mentioned a couple of times and it's pushed to the backburner. I thought that could've been really important. I wanted to actually be able to feel a bit more connected to her during those emotional times and I just didn't, her feelings didn't pop out of the pages at me, they weren't really there in my opinion. Even though I liked Willa, most of the characters in the story felt a bit flat, you really only get a few snippets of them and don't really get to know them much especially Willa's family. I was often confused at times trying to figure out who was who.
What I liked seeing in this story was the differences between people that come from small towns and bigger ones, the differences in society and psychological aspects of it, and how you may think things look perfectly fine on the surface but they're really not. How most people have their own demons that they're hiding but you can't really see them until they released them or you dig deep. Like I said I didn't love it as much as I expected to but it was still a pretty good and fast read.

Fort Worth man mistakes carjackers in 'Jason-style' hockey masks for trick-or-treaters
Staff writer Holley Harvey reports:
Two robbers wearing hockey masks took the "trick" in trick-or-treat literally when they stole a man's car at gunpoint Wednesday night in Fort Worth, police say.
The victim was walking to his car in the driveway of his home on Spiller Street about ll p.m. when he saw two men he assumed were trick-or-treaters because of their "Jason-style hockey masks," a police report says.
The men weren't after candy, however, but rather the victim's 2003 black Mercedes-Benz.
"Give it up," one of the robbers said, pointing a handgun at him and demanding his keys.
"That's fine. Here you are," he told them, according to the report. "Just don't shoot me over a [expletive] car,"
Both men got in the car and fled. No arrests have been made.
A detailed description of the suspects was not available.

An unexpected bond forms between two women when their sons are killed in an explosion at a local shopping mall. When the police find evidence of a bomb, one of the sons, a Muslim American, becomes the prime suspect, threatening the two mothers' new friendship and forcing them to question how well they knew their own children. "Torn" is a powerful dramatic journey that invites each of us to confront our own perceptions of the world and one another.

Designer Tips: The glittered cardstock is quite thick, so be careful when cutting. Aleene's Tacky Glue works best for gluing down the thick cardstock, or when gluing elements on top of it.
