Team talk and a CRM upgrade

Chief executive, NCVO (National Council for Voluntary Organisations) from 1 February 1994
Sir Stuart Etherington has been chief executive of the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) since 1994. He was knighted in the 2010 Queen's Birthday honours.
Under his reign, NCVO has undergone a substantial rise in public profile and has seen its membership rise eight-fold to 7,000 organisations - though at least 2,000 of these are tiny charities that can join for free.
Sir Stuart has a BSc in Politics, two MAs - one in social service planning and the other in international relations and diplomacy - and an MBA from London Business School.
His background is in social work and he came to the charity sector because of a project run by Mind, then the National Association for Mental Health. In his three years as director of good practice in mental health, Sir Stuart turned it from a small project into a successful charity in its own right.
In 1987 he joined the Royal National Institute for Deaf People (now RNID) as director of public affairs and four years later, aged 35, he became its chief executive. Three years later in 1994 he was headhunted to lead the NCVO.
Sir Stuart has also sat on various governmental bodies such as the Economic and Social Research Council which funds research and training, and the Prime Minister's Delivery Unit which aims to help government deliver on key policies on subjects such as education, health, crime and transport. He is Pro-Chancellor of Greenwich University and a Council Member of the Institute of Employment Studies. He has been a trustee of CAF, Business in the Community, GuideStar UK, the Chair of the BBC Appeals Advisory Committee, and a member of the Community and Social Affairs Committee of Barclays Bank.
In 2005, Sir Stuart won the outstanding achievement award at the Charity Awards.
In 2008 Civil Society ran a tongue-in-cheek online poll that asked whether the leader of the voluntary sector was Sir Stuart or his counterpart at Acevo, Stephen Bubb. Sir Stuart won hands down with 80 per cent of the vote.

Sir Stuart may not have gone far enough with his plan for a Fundraising Preference Service, says Ian Allsop.
Andrew Hind is concerned that the government's behaviour towards civil society organisations could threaten the voluntary sector's legacy from the First World War.
Andrew Hind explains why the decision to merge should be about charitable impact as well as saving costs.

I have not been doing this for long either (30 days), but I do know that my 1st cycle (and only so far) since starting, I gained like 5 pounds the week before it started.
I have been on PB for 11 days and before starting I was on a 7 day water fast....so after the fast I started PB and now am on day 11..I have gained 3.8 pounds since starting PB...I am working out..kettlebell, sprints, tabatas..and am keeping my carbs around 20 to 40...so what am I doing wrong? I know my cycle starts in 1 week...could that be it?? Any comments will be helpful

I have not been doing this for long either (30 days), but I do know that my 1st cycle (and only so far) since starting, I gained like 5 pounds the week before it started.
"Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there."
What, exactly, is involved in a 7 day water fast?
My guess is that your weight was "artificially" low because of that fast when you started, and that your body's response to having good fuel is to load up on it. I would simply give it more time for your body to find equilibrium - you (I guess) went from no fuel, which would make your body eager to store up reserves, to good fuel, which makes your body plenty happy - remember we are designed for efficiency and to store as much potential energy as possible. As your body readjusts to good fuel, it might start letting go more, as the "danger" of starvation has passed.
And of course, yes, your cycle could be partly responsible.
No offense, but after 7 days of not eating, wouldn't you expect some weight gain once you DID start eating? Even if it was good primal food? Also, given what you're doing as far as workouts, it's entirely possible that at least half of that is muscle.
Your post is full of red flags, in 11 days you've done tabatas, sprints, kettlebell work… sounds like a little too much. I'm going to assume you haven't read the book or the website in depth. I suggest you start. Welcome to the forum!
Iniquity...I have read the book and I think its kind of rude for you to imply I havent. As far as my workouts go..they are spread out I'm not doing all that in one day...and as far as the water fast..it was for healing purposes and even when I came off the fast and was eating primal I was losing...and I may be off on my days..I been on PB more like 15 days.
You may want to post a day or two of menus so that we can make sure what you are eating is really primal. PB is not a miracle diet, so time and patience (and adherence) are key. Common mistakes for newcomers are too much dairy, too many nuts, too many primal treats.
True healthcare reform starts in your kitchen, not in Washington. ~Anonymous
The worst carrot is better than the best candybar.--TornadoGirl
Yeah, you were just regaining the weight you lost during the fast (and no, a 7 day water fast is not healing). I'd be worried if you hadn't gained weight! Plus, 3.8 lbs isn't even significant - my weight normally fluctuates by about 5 lbs based on how much food is in my stomach, where in my cycle I am, how high my carb intake has been, and if my muscles are recovering from a hard strength training session. Keep it up, and stay off the scales for a while.
The Primal Holla! Eating fat. Getting lean. Being awesome.

CleanLogix of Santa Clarita uses its C02 water-free cleaning technology for manufacturing industries that require high performance and reliability in the manufacturing process of aerospace components, medical device parts and disc drive parts.
And in the process, its technology saves companies the cost of water, energy usages and waste water cleanup, said an executive for the Valencia-based company.
Having built a business around a technology he pioneered while at Hughes Aircraft, President and Founder David Jackson refers to his team as the "cleaning geeks."
Using a waste byproduct, CleanLogix treats a carbon dioxide gas liquid to remove all contaminants, re-condenses it, and then drops the temperature way down transforming the byproduct into a pure liquid mix – which is then essentially freeze-dried with minute particles of dry ice injected into the product.
When the product is sprayed or blasted onto a component, the result is a dry-clean process without the use of water, and without damaging or scratching a part.
"We're mainly in markets where, if you don't remove all the contaminants, it will affect the quality, performance or reliability of the product," Jackson said.
As technology advances the production of smaller and smaller electronics, semi-conductors, devices and components, it becomes more challenging for companies to clean their devices of contaminants.
"When working with very complex devices, water can become entrapped in them, and companies can't be assured they'll get that water out, which then dries and leaves residue on the parts, introduces corrosion or damages the product," he said.
The technology also eliminates the costs associated with the manufacturing processes today, as well as the cost of waste water clean-up, removal of hazardous solvents and deionizing water to remove all of the minerals that might damage a component.
"We can lower manufacturing costs by 50 percent by converting water to be used, and the cost of energy to dry those parts, by using C02," Jackson said. "It also reduces water usage in the manufacturing process."
There's another benefit, he claims. Cleaning tools used in the manufacturing process with his company's C02 technology gives a longer shelf life to the tools.
Not only can it clean the tools, removing very tiny particles or oily films, the CoreLogix technology removes heat from the process by jetting its product right into the spot where components are being cut – an alternative for water-based cutting, he said.
Headquartered in Valencia, and founded in 1989, CleanLogix works with its partner-manufacturers in Ohio and Singapore to produce cleaning machines for customers. And it provides process consulting services along the way.
"A lot of our high-end customers need robots," Jackson said.
With chemists and engineers onboard, the company custom designs and engineers solutions and machines for its customers – which are all tested in-house before arriving in a customer's place of business.
For smaller businesses that can't afford to buy the equipment, or don't need the technology for most of their production, CoreLogix arranges to have the few parts they might have cleaned for them.
With nearly 16 engineers and 25 manufacturing personnel, the company currently generates $5 to $10 million per year, but has plans to operate in the $25 to $50 million market segment within the next five years, Jackson said.
The CoreLogix business model now is to work with industries that already own a market and infuse its technology into their products, as opposed to just selling to end users. And the company will put its design and engineering know-how behind the effort.
"It's like the Intel chip model," Jackson said. "Most PCs have Intel chips in them even though Intel doesn't make computers."
CoreLogix aims to make its lean cleaning technology a standard part of someone else's manufacturing process.

My husband surprised me with a gift that has kept me smiling all day…treatments at the Spa at Riverview in New Symrna Beach. http://www.spaatriverview.com
Momma needed some R&R! Today brought clarity; I need to incorporate more yoga and meditation on a regular basis. Today I had an Oasis Massage and I literally felt like I died and went to heaven. It's crazy to imagine that the use of hot lava stones is an ancient practice, dating back thousands of years ago. As relaxing as the services were today, I found it difficult to get the chatter in my mind to halt. My thoughts drifted to the vision I have to become a successful mommapreneur. I'm on my way to achieving this yet my impatience sometimes gets the best of me.
I never doubt that I have the drive to make things happen. Yet, I'm so driven that sometimes I need to learn to take breaks on this road trip called life. Breaks are crucial as a mommapreneur in order to recharge. The fuel is priceless because I could fill up on this high of doing what I love 24/7 but the exhaustion always kicks in, if I don't take care of myself.
My wish this year and each year after is for some peace of mind and completion on artistic projects that are brewing. I wish that for you also as you…
Go Momma, Go!

De Niro to receive lifetime achievement award
MOSCOW — Karlovy Vary, Central Europe's leading international film festival, announced a competition line up Monday for its 43rd edition rich in world and international premieres.
The Czech Republic-based festival, which opens July 4, counts the international bow of Amy Redford's directorial debut "The Guitar" – about a young women who knows she has just two months left to live – among films from around the world that will compete for its Crystal Globe award.
Two Czech films are in the line up: Michaela Pavlatova's "Night Owls" (Deti noci), about a young woman working in a 24-hour Prague convenience store, and Petr Zelenka's "The Karamazovs" (Karamozovi), an unusual take on Dostoevsky's famous novel set in and around a theatrical production of the story staged in a Polish steelworks.
Russian director Alexei Uchitel's "Captive" (Plennyi), a human drama set in a Caucasian war, screens in its international premiere and Croatian Zrinko Ogresta's "Behind the Glass" (Iza stakla), about a 35 year old architect forced to choose between his wife and mistress, in its world premiere.
Other films in the international competition include: "The Shaft"/Dixia de Tiangkong (dir. Zhang Chi, China); "Dr. Aleman" (Tom Schreiber, Germany); "Terribly Happy"/Frygtelig Lykkelig (Henrik Ruben Genz, Denmark); "The Early Bird Catches the Worm"/Il mattino ha l'oro in bocca (Francesco Patierno, Italy); "The Investigator"/A nuyomozo (Attila Gigor, Hungary); "The Photograph" (Nan T. Achnas, Indonesia); "Pretexts"/Pretextos (Silvia Munt, Spain); "Distant Tremors"/Les tremblements lointains (Manuel Poutte, Belgium); and "True Enough"/La verite ou Presque (Sam Karmann, France).
The festival also screens a wide range of works by Eastern European directors in its East of the West competitive program, including Romanian director Radu Muntean's "Boogie" and Bosnian Srdjan Vuletic's "It's Hard to be Nice" (Tesko je biti fin).
Star guests will include Robert de Niro, who will be in Karlovy Vary to present an opening night screening of Barry Levinson's "What Just Happened," which he produced – and to receive a lifetime achievement award – and festival regular, British actress Saffron Burrows on her third visit to the festival to present Redford's "The Guitar".
British actor Christopher Lee will also be in town to present a Midnight Screening's showing of his classic horror film "Dracula" as will director and cameraman Nicolas Roeg, who will personally present the festival's retrospective of his films.
Including the now traditional lineup of the top 10 pick of recent European releases in the 'Variety Critic's Choice' sidebar, Karlovy Vary closes July 12 with an awards ceremony followed by a screening of the much-anticipated film version of Catherine Johnson's hit stage music "Mamma Mia" in a directorial debut by British theater director Phyllida Lloyd.

Following Everett's Sunday night win over Spokane, word started circling on Twitter that catcher Mike Zunino -- the Mariners 1st round pick, 3rd overall, in the 2012 draft -- was finally leaving Short Season ball and was headed to the Double-A Jackson Generals in the Southern League, as SeattleClubhouse's Rick Randall had suggested would happen.
Zunino's introduction to pro baseball for the AquaSox could not have gone much better. The 21-year-old right-handed hitter leaves after 29 games leading the Northwest League in home runs (10), ranking 5th in RBI (35), 10th in total bases (81) and tied for 18th in doubles (10) despite playing in about half of the games so far on the season for the circuit (57). For the time frame that he was in Everett (July 14th - August 12th), Zunino had the most hits in the league (41), 14 more RBI, seven more runs scored and 16 more total bases than the next closest hitter. Overall, the native of Coral Gables, FL, is hitting .373/.474/.736 in 110 at bats. On top of his big power numbers, Zunino also drew 18 walks during his time in Everett, where he was the No. 3 hitter for the first place AquaSox.
Zunino hit .349/.453/.714 in 17 July games and then .404/.500/.766 in 12 August games, driving in 21 runs over his last nine contests. He averaged one home run every 11 at bats versus both right-handers (8 in 88 ABs) and left-handers (2 in 22 ABs). Defensively, he cut down seven of 16 would-be basestealers while allowing seven passed balls and making four errors during his 19 games behind the plate for Everett.
Zunino joins a Jackson squad that was given the title of "Most Talented Team in Minor League Baseball" by Baseball America prior to the season. The Generals won the Southern League's North Division by seven games in the first half but have struggled a bit in the second half, losing several players to promotions and not getting the consistent performances that they saw in the first half from several remaining players, and they currently sit a game and a half behind Chattanooga for the 2nd half division lead.
The jump to Double-A from Short Season A ball should provide a nice challenge for Zunino, but he has the goods to succeed. The Northwest League line was .250/.331/.361 and the Southern League has a .252/.333/.375 line, but above league hitting conditions will be the presence of more polished talent. There will be more challenging pitching, including pitchers that will throw more consistent strikes and better breaking stuff, for Zunino to deal with.
This promotion seems to fall in line with an MLB ETA of late 2013 for Zunino if all goes well. And if his time in Everett is any indication, there isn't much that lies ahead for Mike that could stop things from going well.

Timely Purchase: Google Buys Switzerland's Bitspin
Google is getting into the virtual-Swiss-watch business.
The Mountain View, Calif.-based search giant has quietly acquired Bitspin, the Zurich-based maker of the Timely clock app. The app, which is available on Google's Play store, provides an array of stylish chronological functions—including an alarm clock, stopwatch and timer—for mobile devices running the Android operating system.
Google and Bitspin haven't said what plans the pair might be cooking up. But the tech giant likely will value the small company's design chops for apps and features in Android, which is roping in users around the world but doesn't have the reputation for aesthetic appeal that Apple's iOS mobile operating system commands.
Bitspin said it couldn't comment on the acquisition. Google didn't return an email seeking comment.
Like Switzerland's famous timepieces, Bitspin's Timely app is over-the-top elegant.
Numbers on the clock face gracefully morph into each other, part of an aesthetic the company says is intended to demonstrate the continuous nature of time. Timely requires users to solve a simple puzzle to dismiss an alarm, a measure designed to prevent accidental cancellation. (The company calls it an "active gesture.")
Timely also lowers the volume of the alarm, which features "hand-crafted, high-quality sounds composed by aspiring artist Sunyo," when the phone is lifted.
One element of Timely that Google is sure to value is synchronization, a service the search giant encourages users of its email, calendar and contact list to employ. Timely lets users set an alarm on one device and have it ring on others that a user owns.
The app also sports integration with Google Now, the search giant's personal-digital-assistant technology, according to Bitspin's website.

Q: I need help with choosing which bird I should breed. I've never bred birds before, and I'd like a bird that is for beginners, preferably not a budgie or cockatiel. Are parrotlets considered a good beginning bird to breed? I also need help on brooders and feeding.
Sandee Molenda explains:First, anyone interested in breeding birds should work with a reputable bird breeder who specializes in the species of bird you wish to breed. After you've aligned yourself with an experienced bird breeder, and are fully aware of the challenges and considerations involved with breeding birds, here are some general guidelines on parrotlets.
Parrotlets are not as easy to breed as budgies, cockatiels or lovebirds but certainly easier than Amazons or other large parrots. They need a large cage (at least 24 inches x 24 inches), privacy (preferably with no other birds in the room) and a diet higher in fat and protein than most other small hookbills. A diet rich in fresh foods, such as fruit, vegetables, greens, sprouted seeds, cooked grains and legumes, millet and whole-grain breads should be fed daily.
Breeding parrotlets also need at least some seed in the diet to prevent stress bars in the chicks. I recommend Volkman's Parrotlet Super, which is based on the seed mix I have fed for more than 20 years. Egg food, Petamine™ Nestling Food and dry lory powder also should be fed to supplement protein requirements. Vitamins and powdered calcium should be provided several times a week, sprinkled on the fresh food. Mineral block, cuttlebone and fresh, clean water should always be available.
Parrotlets breed best when you have more than one pair and they can hear each other but not see one another. Dividers should be placed between the cages to cut down on aggression and territorialism between pairs. The nest box should be placed on the front of the cage in the upper most top corner so when the hen is looking out of the box she sees the inside of the cage and is very secure. Nest box should be 10-inches tall, 7-inches wide and 7-inches deep and should be filled with untreated pine shavings.
Parrotlets should be at least a year old before being bred. They will lay an egg every other day and will brood them for 18 to 21 days. Average clutch size is six to eight although they can be larger – most mutations will have smaller clutches. Chicks can be pulled for hand-feeding at 10 to 14 days of age and should be banded with either American or English budgie leg bands. They should be brooded at 89 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit and fed every four hours, at least five times a day.
No need to feed during the night. Any reputable commercial brooder designed for parrots will work with parrotlets. Any commercial hand-feeding formula is good as well just be sure and only use that brand when feeding chicks; do not change formulas during the hand-feeding process. Chicks will start picking at food such as millet, seed and pellets at about 4 to 5 weeks of age and can be moved to a cage at 5 weeks. They are usually weaned at 6 to 7 weeks old.

ADRIAN, Mich., April 3, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Venchurs VWerks used the annual Jeep Safari event in beautiful Moab, Utah – home of some of the toughest trails in North America – to take the wraps off its latest ultimate off-road vehicle, the JK8 Recon. The military inspired pickup features a VWerks Hemi V8 conversion, VWerks trail-ready bodywork, VWerks heavy-duty coil suspension that gives the Jeep 1.5 ton hauling capacity, 7/16 bed armor plating and a 360-degree rotary mount machine gun turret in the bed, as well as a full complement of military grade weapon mounts, tools, lighting and ammo boxes.
A photo accompanying this release is available at http://www.globenewswire.com/newsroom/prs/?pkgid=12280
Engineered as a rolling test bed for VWerks' line of off-road and military hardware, Recon is a follow up to the Red Jacket Firearms Jeep JK8 the company debuted at the 2011 SEMA Show in Las Vegas that was built for the cast of the Discovery Channel television show Sons of Guns. While Recon started life as a standard 2011 Wrangler JK four-door, it was completely disassembled and rebuilt in the VWerks engineering and fabrication department at Venchurs Vehicle Systems headquarters in Adrian, Michigan as a heavy-duty, trail-ready pickup with V8 power and an array of military hardware.
Highlights include a VWerks Hemi Conversion, which will soon be available to the public featuring a 5.7L VVT Hemi making 390 horsepower @ 5,600 rpm and 407 lb/ft of torque @ 4,000 rpm, backed by a five speed 5-45RFE automatic transmission upgraded for heavy-duty off-road use. Also of note is the suspension, which not only features a 4-inch lift thanks to the VWerks lift kit, but is now Super HD rated for extreme cargo hauling. Massive 39-inch BFG Krawler Tires are mounted on 17-inch Hutchinson Bead Lock Rims.
Other VWerks exclusives include a Rear Military style Bumper with Clevises and Shackles, a Military trailer Pintle Hook Hitch Combo, Rock Rails, front and rear Genright fenders, a functional cowl induction hood with additional static side vents – all of which are now available to the public through the VWerks website and select dealers.
Inside the Mopar half-doors, the interior features Katzkin leather with dark graphite backing and forest green stitching and VWerks floor mats. Mil-grade switches operate the 9.5ti Thermometric Self-Recovery Warn Winch and PIAA 520 ATP (All-Terrain Pattern) lantern. A custom VWerks canvas cover that shrouds the bed and full roll cage allows occupants to have a complete field of vision outside the vehicle while maintaining operation cover for bed occupants.
A VWerks 7/16 bed armor plate protects occupants and provides a perch for the gunner in chase scenarios, and a full bed cage provides overhead protection, cover and a wide array of mounting points for tools, storage and hardware. Military gear includes a MK93 Machine Gun Mount w/ ammo can, M240 adaptor for a 600-round ammo can and a 360-degree rotary mount with a M2 Ma Deuce Replica machine gun – all by Crane Technologies.
Climbing trails, hauling hardware through tough terrain around the world, the Recon JK8 is further proof that VWerks is on the forefront of premium off-road technology. To learn more about VWerks parts, accessories and complete turn-key vehicles, visit www.VVWerks.com .

Town-village merger proposal tabledOctober 05,2013BELLOWS FALLS A plan to merge the Vermont village of Bellows Falls with the town of Rockingham in 2014 has hit a delay.
The proposal would eliminate the Bellows Falls Village Corporation and the Board of Trustees, which would be turned over to the Rockingham Select Board.
Village services, such as police and fire departments, would continue to be supported by village residents through separate fees or taxes.
But some members of the village trustees and town Select Board said at a joint meeting Thursday that the plan doesnt include any details on the financial impact of the merger, the Eagle Times reported. It also doesnt specify any benefits for the town or village.
Paul Obuchowski and Jim McAuliffe, members of the ad hoc committee that developed the plan, said the details would come out in the public hearings. But some Bellows Falls trustees felt the plan lacked enough information to bring it to a public hearing.
Im in favor of just tabling it until there are some financials, said Trustee Charlie Hunter.
Rockingham Select Board Chair Thomas MacPhee agreed to return to village trustees with more information about the merger.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER After sitting on the Vermont Supreme Court for nearly 30 years, Justice John Dooley...

'Conceptual Narrative: Mixed Media from the Chodorkoff Collection' on Exhibition at FAU's Library through January
BOCA RATON, FL (November 21, 2011) – Florida Atlantic University's Wimberly Library is hosting "Conceptual Narrative: Mixed Media from the Chodorkoff Collection," an exhibition of contemporary fine art and crafts from its Drs. J. Rosmarin Chodorkoff and B. Chodorkoff Collection, through Tuesday, January 31, 2012, on FAU's Boca Raton campus.
The exhibition features an eclectic mix of glass, fiber, ceramics, painting, sculptures and prints by several established artists, including Dale Chihuly, Ed Rossbach, William Morris and Clifford Rainey, as well as works by emerging artists.
Lush, rich and colorful glass art works are shown throughout the exhibition. There are stunning pieces created from hot-blown glass and cold glass; glass that has been slumped, molded, etched, sandblasted, painted, cut with a diamond saw, leaded and electro-formed. There is flat glass, pate de verre, lampwork and sand-cast glass.
Two "Venetians" from the series of seductive glass sculptures created by Chihuly, a pre-eminent contemporary glass artist, as a tribute to Venice and its alluring artistic influence, are among the featured works.
A basket with an All-American motif, "Salvation Basket," by internationally-recognized textile artist John Garrett, who is known for his use of textile technologies and imagery with various materials, is featured among the array of baskets.
"Site," a 30-inch high glazed and ceramic bust that was created as a self-portrait by artist John Woodward, who spent time framing houses as a construction worker, is one of the pieces of art shown by up-and-coming artists.
The art was collected by Dr. Bernard Chodorkoff, a retired psychoanalyst/psychiatrist and educator, and his wife, Dr. Joan Rosmarin Chodorkoff, a retired clinical psychologist. The couple began gifting their collection to FAU Libraries in 2007. Most of the 120 pieces in the libraries' collection are on display.
"Conceptual Narrative," the exhibition's title, was drawn from the couple's attraction to conceptually meaningful art works that comment on social issues or personal relationships and use symbolic imagery.
"If the commentary is playful, witty or satirical, so much the better," said Bernard Chodorkoff. "We respond to art that is aesthetically and/or technically experimental, yet definitely resolved. This partly explains our preference for multi-media work."
"The most enjoyable phase of collecting followed after establishing guidelines for acquiring pieces," said Joan Chodorkoff. "It fostered the confidence and courage that permitted risk-taking and the adventure of choosing emerging artists. When the mind's reasons consent to the spontaneous 'aha' on first viewing a piece of art, it is very much like falling in love."
Selected artists' books from the library's Arthur and Mata Jaffe Center for Book Arts are displayed to complement the exhibition. After the exhibition ends in January, the library will continue to feature pieces from the Chodorkoff collection in its atrium lobby.
The exhibition, which is free and open to the public, is displayed in the atrium lobby, on the second floor west outside of the administrative offices and in the Jaffe Center on the third floor east. Hours are available by calling 561-297- 3770 or at www.library.fau.edu/geninfo/hours.htm. For more information, contact Terri Berns at email@example.com or 561- 297-1164.

I was taking supplemental selenium for a while, but then read some conflicting things about supplementation vs whole foods. I eat eggs daily (at least 2) and I was doing the brazil nut thing. I haven't gone back to eating more red meat yet, but heading there. Supplement form is better in this case?
I could split up my Armour tablet for now, currently taking the 30mg in one go; but would the thyroid supplements suggested from iHerb suffice, or is this something I have to go through my doctor to get? For Cynoplus, looks to be prescription unless I want to go through that Mexican drugstore site, hah.

The helper will follow Kirby around and automatically fight as his ally or offer a second player the chance to join in the game by controlling it. There's never a dull moment as Kirby dashes, flies and swallows enemies in his battle against King Dedede, Dyna Blade and Meta Knight.

SPREP Announces Pacific Desk for Meteorological Services
14 March 2011: The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) announced that the Pacific Meteorological Services will create a "Pacific Desk" at SPREP to help implement the 10-year strategy for enhanced meteorological services in the region.
Reporting at the Pacific Climate Change Roundtable, being held from 14-18 March 2011, in Alofi, Niue, SPREP said a two-year review of the Pacific Meteorological Services completed in 2010 produced recommendations on: strengthening Fiji's meteorological services; providing regional support and coordination; and strengthening national meteorological services. The creation of the Pacific Desk at SPREP is a result of the recommendations.
The Commonwealth Fund for Technical Co-operation is providing support for the Pacific desk, which is expected to become operational in July 2011. [SPREP Press Release]

FURIOUS exchanges can be expected later this month when Parliament's justice committee holds public hearings on the controversial Legal Practice Bill, which was introduced to Parliament in May last year.
Most significantly, the late former chief justice Arthur Chaskalson criticised provisions of the bill, which he said allowed the executive to interfere in the independent functioning of the legal profession.
Last year, in a speech in Cape Town, he warned that an independent judiciary as per the constitution could not be achieved without an independent legal profession.
The bill provides for the creation of a council for the legal profession that can be dissolved by the justice minister; for the creation of a legal profession ombudsman appointed by the president; compulsory community service for newly qualified as well as serving attorneys and advocates; and the determination of legal fees in terms of the bill.
Justice committee chairman Luwellyn Landers has announced that public hearings on the bill will be held on February 19 and 20. "Stakeholders and interested people who have already made written submissions and those who wish to make supplementary submissions are invited to do so. Stakeholders and people who have not made written submissions are invited to do so by Tuesday (February 12 2013)," Mr Landers said.
"Submissions and inquiries must be directed to the justice and constitutional development portfolio committee; copies of the bill may be obtained from Mr V Ramaano."
Judge Chaskalson said: "The ombud and the minister are both appointed by the president, which means members of the executive have significant powers to control important aspects of the functioning of the legal profession.
"A structure is being proposed which opens the door to important aspects of the profession being controlled by the executive, and that is inconsistent with an independent legal profession.
"One of the lessons of history is that rights are vulnerable, and when governments come under stress there is a temptation for them to brush rights aside, in order to secure their goals and entrench their power. That is why democratic legal orders have checks and balances to guard against this.... An independent judiciary and an independent legal profession are vital parts of these checks and balances."

I have repeatedly said that the banks won't significantly increase their lending to individuals and small businesses until the economy stabilizes, no matter how much money the government gives them.
I have repeatedly said that the whole concept of a "jobless recovery" given the economic fundamentals we have currently is nonsense, and that the rising tide of unemployment will keep the economy on the ropes for some time.
Now, as Bloomberg points out, the Fed may finally be grudgingly admitting as much:
The Federal Open Market Committee, at the conclusion tomorrow of a two-day meeting, will probably maintain its assessment that "tight" bank credit is impeding growth, said economists including former Fed Governor Lyle Gramley. Lending contracted for five straight weeks through Sept. 9, a drop that in part reflects Fed orders to banks to raise more capital and toughen lending standards, analysts say.
A failure to restore the flow of bank credit carries the risk that the economic recovery will be slower than the Fed anticipates, or even that the U.S. lapses into another recession, economists say…
"The financial system is still far from healthy and tight credit is likely to put a damper on growth for some time to come" [San Francisco Fed President Janet Yellen said in a Sept. 14 speech].
The Fed has taken other steps to make sure banks avoid riskier loans. In July 2008, it tightened mortgage rules by requiring lenders to determine a borrower's ability to repay and barring other practices that led to the collapse of the housing market.
Minimum regulatory-capital requirements may change as officials in the U.S. and abroad craft new financial rules. Consumers are less credit-worthy as the job market deteriorates and after a record loss of wealth from plunging share prices and real estate values.
Rising unemployment will slow the pace of the recovery, Bernanke said on Sept. 15.
Whether the Fed's policy of requiring more capital is good or bad is beyond the scope of this essay.

When they think that their labor will go exactly as they planned it.
When they back up the latest parenting fad that us more experienced moms know won't last with the ever snooty, "Well, I've done my research."
When you look at their registry and its full of stuff you know will only get used once or twice before they realize how useless they are.
I know this sounds condisending, but there a lot of things you worry about, or get into your head, as a FTM that only experiencing for yourself will change/help. So our laughs aten't meant to rude, just that plesant, "You'll see!" Because those diaper commercials that show the difference between baby #1and #2 are SPOT ON.

Wizards > Application Firewall Wizard
The Application Firewall wizard provides safe configuration for many common use cases, but not for everything. If at any time during the wizard you are unable to find the options that you need, you can click Cancel and proceed using manual configuration. See the "Manual Configuration Procedure". To use the wizard to configure application firewall, perform the following steps:
Step 2 In the SonicWALL banner at the top of the screen, click the Wizards icon. The wizards Welcome screen displays.
Step 3 Select the Application Firewall Wizard radio button and then click Next.
Step 5 In the Application Firewall Policy Type screen, click a selection for the policy type, and then click Next.

Step 6 In the Select <your choice> Rules for Application Firewall Policy screen, select a policy rule from the choices supplied, and then click Next.
Depending on your choice in the previous step, this screen is one of four possible screens:

Cardiovascular exercise improves heart function, lowers body fat percentage, and may help maintain lean muscle mass. Low-impact cardio places little stress on your joints while still achieving cardiovascular health benefits. There are a variety of low-impact cardio choices that range from a lower to higher intensity level. Incorporate different forms of low-impact cardio for best results.
Walking is the most natural and common form of movement for your body. You can use walking as a type of low-impact cardio by planning a time, duration, and route you will walk. Though some impact is expected due to your feet striking the ground, the level of pressure placed on your joints is minimal. Begin by walking on level ground for a specific amount of time. To increase intensity, choose a path with steep inclines or rolling hills. Walk on a soft surface such as grass, dirt or a track.
Cycling can be done on a bicycle or stationary bike. Stationary bikes offer balance and stability and can be used in the comfort of a gym or at home. Bicycles allow you to experience nature while trying different routes, but do present a safety hazard if you are unsure how to correctly ride. Stationary bikes have various intensity levels which you may select. Choose a flat or hilly terrain for bike riding. Cycling is not a weight-bearing activity; therefore, your bone health is not improved from this form of cardio. However, the cardiovascular and muscular endurance benefits are vast.
Water Aerobics
One of the best forms of low-impact cardio, water aerobics are challenging exercises that place very little stress on your joints. Because of buoyancy, an average of 90% of your body weight is supported in water. Though virtually no pressure is placed on your bones, joints and muscles, a high level of resistance is still experienced while in the water. The combination of minimal joint stress and increased resistance is ideal for a safe and effective cardiovascular workout.
Exercising Safely and Effectively
While cardiovascular activities should be included in every workout program, seek a balance between low and high-impact cardio. Too much high intensity cardio can lead to overuse and injuries. Use caution when engaging in a new type of exercise. Learn proper form and safety protocols to prevent injuries. Perform three to five days of cardiovascular exercise. Gradually increase intensity over a period of a few weeks. Vary the activity to prevent burnout or boredom. Always consult your doctor before beginning an exercise routine.

Prospective Students
A Letter From The Director
Dear Prospective Student,
The Bob Cole Conservatory at California State University, Long Beach, has a lot to offer! Our ensembles are recognized as some of the finest in the west, and even in the nation—Pacific Standard Time and Concert Jazz Orchestra both won Downbeat Magazine's "Best Collegiate Jazz Ensemble" this year. We have an exuberant, dedicated faculty who are on campus to help you become an excellent, well-rounded, professionally-prepared musician and scholar.
Our alumni are a testament to our mission of student success. Last year a choral conducting student won a Fulbright and is now studying for a second Master's degree in London, our vocalists have sung at the San Francisco Opera and at the Met (and with many regional operas), and have toured in official Broadway companies. Our jazz alumni tour the world with Jennifer Lopez and Natalie Cole, have been lauded on NPR, and many have released highly acclaimed recordings with their fellow alumni. Our musicology and composition students are in graduate programs from Harvard to UT Austin with significant fellowships and TA positions. Our alumni have positions in major and regional orchestras, in chamber groups, and they perform on Hollywood recording sessions. Music Education graduates teach in some of the top K-12 programs in the Southland. Our alumni also become attorneys, medical doctors, orchestra managers, sound engineers, instrument repairmen, film and video game composers, and work at the top level of music publishing firms.
Take a tour of our website to hear from Area Directors, see videos of some of our performances, read about our faculty, and check our daily blog; begin to form a picture of how much you can gain from attending the Bob Cole Conservatory. While we do have a graduate program, we are an undergraduate-focused conservatory. This fall, some Freshmen auditioned into the Wind Symphony and were on a tour to South Korea in their third week of school.
If you want to follow our student, faculty, staff, and alumni accomplishments, please send me an email. I can add you to our "Weekly Update" email which comes out on Monday mornings. You can send an email to be removed from the list at any time and I'll automatically stop sending them at the end of this school year in May.
Long Beach feels like a small town in a huge metropolis. There are opportunities to hear the finest professional musicians every night in LA and Orange County with the LA Philharmonic, Pacific Symphony, LA Chamber Orchestra, LA Master Chorale, and LA Opera 30 minutes away; the innovative Long Beach Opera is in our own backyard, many major new music ensembles make LA their home, and dozens of top jazz clubs are nearby. We are close to world-class libraries and museums, and of course, the Pacific Ocean is our next-door neighbor.
We are pleased that you are interested in the Bob Cole Conservatory of Music at California State University, Long Beach. Feel free to call us at 562-985-4781 if you have any questions.
Dr. Carolyn Bremer
Director, Bob Cole Conservatory of Music

The annual visit to Woking of the Tour Series took place on Tuesday afternoon to general approval.
As ever, thousands of spectators lined the course to cheer on riders with the biggest cheers for the professional women's and men's races in the evening.
However, a number of people expressed their annoyance at road closures around the town on Twitter and via our facebook page.
Who on earth allowed a Bike Ride through Woking Town Centre at 6pm on a Tuesday? All for cycling but common sense! #Woking— Andrew Douthwaite (@adouthw) June 10, 2014
Cingratulations #Woking #tourseries gridlock across town yet again! Why mid-week? Why rush hour? What's the point anyway?! #council-vanity— Don Ken (@donkenuk) June 10, 2014
#woking is a bloody nightmare tonight. Fancy having bike racing on a Tuesday during rush hour— Kerryr (@kezzaroony6) June 10, 2014
There were a good number of positive tweets as well:
And so what a great day that was! Glorious sunshine, fast bike racing and cheering crowds. Chapeau! #Woking #TourSeries @CelebrateWoking— Woking Works (@WokingWorks) June 10, 2014
Oi. Moaners of #woking. The tour series is good for the town and only once a year. You had plenty of notice. Shush— Spidey (@SpideyNLilah) June 10, 2014
While feeling was mixed on our Facebook page with Phil Angel saying: "The majority get put out by the minority yet again!!!"
Adrian Corti said: "Another undemocratic decision by Surrey CC?"
But Joanna Avery hit back saying: "Has anybody who moans actually taken the time to go and watch the event? On a lovely evening like tonight it will be a fab atmosphere."
It is clear the event divides opinion, particularly with those affected by the road closures, but Woking Borough Council arguably do a good job in publicising the closures beforehand and were very active on social media during the event, while news of road closures and times was up on Get Surrey early on Tuesday morning.
From a personal opinion, as someone who grew up next to the annual Royal Ascot event at Ascot Racecourse, which sees the surrounding area grind to a halt for a week, one evening of inconvenience where locals are able to feel a little bit of pride about the area they live in doesn't seem like a high price to pay.

Great staff from the moment you enter the door greeted by Pam and her great personality to his medical assistant Angela who truly went above and beyond to ease my nerves. She is such a kind hearted woman. And of course dr katz I trust you with my life and recommend you highly.
Recommended zyflamend to me then it caused balance problems which led me to fall in my bathtub and off my bike. Now I have a broken tailbone and a seriously injured knee. It's your fault because you told me to take it! I fell because of you!
He was punctual, courteous, compassionate and asked all relevant questions. He showed empathy and was able to arrive at a diagnosis quickly, while giving great followup information. I highly recommend.
Only my retired previous famous doctor was in his class
I live 1,000 miles from Manhattan but have no regrets having gone that far to see him and I would visit Dr. Katz again.
Cryotherpay crippled me, Dr Katz didnt make me aware of all this side effects, its been 1 year and im miserable, I should have done the robotic surgery. learn from my mistake.
because he was brusque and barely spent any time with us. He seemed to have no opinion to offer on what he thought would be the best option for us. We went to see him because we were told that he was reputed to be the specialist in holistic active surveilance (which is not just about watching psa but also altering diet, etc). He did not even take the time to talk to us about that whole process, what it entails and how it works, etc. Seemed like he wanted to kick us out the door with an attitude that said "do whatever you want". I've seen all the positive reviews and can only conclude that it must have been an off day for him. Now granted we were his last appointment of the day and we all know that nobody is perfect, but as a potential new patient, it was not a great first impression. I remain hopeful that if we see him again, we will be able to have the positive experience that some of the other reviewers referred to.
I chose Dr. Katz after some recommendations and having read an article he wrote. I liked his holistic approach. Right from the moment we met, I knew I was in good hands. He solved the problem created by two different doctors saying opposing things regarding my diagnosis with prostate cancer. I look forward to being under his care.
My husband was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer and we have been had several opinions before seeing Dr. Katz. I can honestly and sincerely say that Dr. Katz was the most passionate, caring and professional physician we have seen, He has an incredible caring manner and very knowledgeable about all of the treatment options. We both felt that he was giving us an "individualized" approach to my husbands cancer, and that he was not tied to any one treatment. We had seen two other doctors that we felt were pushing us into radiation immediately, and when we walked out of Dr. Katzs office we felt so much better and more informed than ever, and also we felt very hopeful that my husband is going to do well. ALthough we traveled 3 hours to see him, I highly recommend anyone with this condition to sit down with him and get an opinion. Thank you Dr. Katz!
He was very kind, compassionate and he took his time with me. I was so impressed when he sat down and went over my biopsy report and explained in detail about my cancer and then presented all the options as well as the integrative medicine ones,,and this was incredible as NO other doctor explained this to me. He is really fantastic!
I would recommend him. His credentials are excellent. I feel confident when he treats me.
After having read Dr. Katz's book, my wife an I flew to NYC from Wisconsin for an opinion about my prostate cancer. We knew that he was intelligent but we were both impressed with his personality and demeanor. He was thoroughly professional and engaging. His advice was sound. (I never did have surgery or any other allopathic treatment, the holistic approach is working.)
I am very satisfied with the advise Dr. Katz has given me regarding controlling my prostate cancer. He was the 2nd of 5 treatment specialist I interviewed after being diagnosed and I returned to Dr. Katz after my last interview. The other physicians were ready to radiate or perform surgery immediately. Dr. Katz recommendations of diet and lifestyle changes to rebuild my immune system has not only stabilized my problem but has vastly improved my entire health. Cannot recommend him too greatly.
Never met a more approachable, competent physician ever. He is current on the newest procedures and treatments available!
He is truly a leader in the field and uses holistics, cryosurgery, and if surgery is needed he will suggest a top doc in the field. I have the greatest respect for Dr, Katz. He is an example of the best of medicine in the US
won't write a prescription for another doctor if he doesn't benefit.limited insurance coveragepushes surgery even for early stage pc
Dr. Katz has been taking care of me for more than fifteen years. I am convinced he is a true dream of a patient. He is highly intelligent, caring, understanding, and extremely knowledgable in a broad sense, not just in his specialty. Dr. Katz posesses such invaluable qualities as magic hands of a surgeon and a big heart of a mench.In other words, Dr. Katz is a man of a rare soul.
outstanding doc in the field of urology

The PC Emulator VMware Workstation 4.5.2 for Linux
Version 4.5.2 of the commercial VMware PC emulator was released just recently. For many users, VMware is the preeminent virtual PC. In this article, we'll tell you what's new in VMWare Workstation 4.5.2, and we'll show you how you can get started with running Linux in VMWare.
Despite the success of Wine-based compatibility applications, you may still have the need to emulate a complete PC. For example, you might want to try out a Windows program that doesn't work in Wine, set up a number of test machines without being restricted by partition tables, or just test your new website using a variety of operating systems and browsers. If so, a virtual machine is the way to go. Fake and Fool In contrast to API emulators like Wine, VMware workstation emulates a complete computer as a software program. The so-called guest operating system runs within the VMware simulation, which can't distinguish this environment from a real PC. VMware [1], the enterprise behind the product with the same name (which became a subsidiary of EMC corporation in 2004), has Linux and Windows variants of the emulator. The boxed version costs US$ 199 in the VMware store [2]; the download variant costs just 10 dollars less [3].
