Stone Fruit
Easy tips for selecting and storing stone fruits, plus stone fruit recipes like apricot recipes, plum recipes, peach recipes and cherry recipes.
Buying: Select apricots that are plump and fairly firm, not hard, and are orange-yellow to orange in color. Avoid apricots that have blemishes or soft spots or that have a pale-yellow or greenish-yellow color.
Storage: Store firm apricots at room temperature. Once the fruit yields to gentle pressure, store in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

Buying: Select plump fruit. Ripe plums will give slightly when gently pressed and have a fruity aroma. Avoid hard, bruised, soft or shriveled fruit.
Storage: Store unwashed ripe plums in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. To ripen, place in a paper bag at room temperature for 1-3 days.

Nectarines and peaches are used interchangeably in recipes. Nectarines have a smooth thin skin; peaches have a fuzzy skin.
Buying: Select plump fruit. Avoid fruit with bruises, soft spots or cuts. Avoid peaches with a green background as these will not ripen or be sweet. Ripe nectarines and peaches will give slightly when gently pressed and have a sweet aroma.
Storage: Store ripe fruit in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. Store firm fruit at room temperature until ripened. To ripen more quickly, place fruit in a paper bag at room temperature. Freeze for up to 1 year.
1 pound nectarine (3 medium) = 3 cups sliced
1 pound peaches (4 medium) = 2-3/4 cups sliced

Buying: Select cherries that are plump and firm with a shiny skin. Avoid soft, bruised, shriveled fruit or fruit that has browned around the stem area.
Storage: Before refrigerating, sort through and discard any crushed, mushy or moldy fruit. Sort unwashed cherries in a closed plastic bag in the refrigerator away from other vegetables with strong aromas for 1-2 days. To freeze, arrange in a single layer on a plastic wrap-lined baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer container or bag. Freeze up to 1 year.
Preparation: Gently wash cherries before using, not before refrigeration. Use a cherry pitter or a tip of a vegetable peeler to remove the pit.

Hey anyone hear of a scrabble time game that employs two or more languages, for example Spanish and English or English and German? I love playing in different languages.
Of note, some words are the same in any language (just about). For example, how do you say "cargo" in German? Cargo.

A nice try Mkat, but as you may have noticed by now, there's not too much curiosity for foreing languages in this group. Sorry. Maybe the ones that scrabble don't like them and the ones that like them and could do it don't scrabble. Bad luck, sorry.

You might need a mixed set of tiles. Don't have a lot of É tiles in the English set.

I think it's a great idea! Why not seriously multi-lingual? Lots of languages, not just two? We use words from other languages all the time, it would be great to be able to game with them._________________________

One should note that in other language versions of Scrabble the letter frequency is different.

Asian noodles don't always come steaming in a piping hot bowl. Countries throughout East Asia, especially in the north, also have traditions of serving their noodles cold. The Japanese buckwheat noodles soba, for example, usually are rinsed in cold water and served with a dipping sauce. The basic soba dish is morisoba—chilled buckwheat noodles and a dashi broth flavored with bonito flakes, kombu kelp, soy sauce and mirin, a type of rice wine. When the noodles ...

"Beyond Zero Enrichment: Suggestions for an Iranian Nuclear Deal"
Policy Brief, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs
November 2009
Author: Matthew Bunn, Professor of Practice; Co-Principal Investigator, Project on Managing the Atom
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: International Security; Managing the Atom; Science, Technology, and Public Policy
- Ultimately, we have three options on Iran: (1) Acquiesce to its nuclear program and try to contain it, (2) Negotiate a deal, or (3) Launch military strikes.
- Both acquiescence and military strikes would pose major risks to U.S. and international security.
- Zero centrifuges in Iran would be the best outcome for the U.S. and international security. But there is virtually no chance that Iran will agree to zero enrichment in response to any set of sanctions and inducements the United States can plausibly put together. Insisting on zero will mean no agreement, leaving the world with the risks of acquiescence or military strikes.
- It is time to begin thinking about what the least bad options might look like. Allowing some enrichment on Iranian soil may offer the lowest risks to U.S. security of the many bad options now available.
The United States and the other members of the P5+1 are struggling to launch the first in-depth negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program in which the United States has participated. The United States comes to the table with few good options. Sanctions have failed to change Iran's decisions about its nuclear program, and no feasible set of sanctions (given the limits of what China, Russia, and others will agree to) is likely to convince Iran to give up its enrichment program. Military strikes against Iran would probably not set back Iran's program for longer than a brief period and would greatly increase Iran's incentive to go straight to the bomb at covert sites (as Iraq did after Israel destroyed its facilities at Osiraq).
At the same time, Iran is extremely unlikely to agree to the outome the United States prefers: zero enrichment of uranium. It already has more than 8,000 centrifuges in place, and Tehran has succeeded in framing the issue domestically as "colonial powers are trying to take away our god-given right to technology." There is no faction in Iran that supports giving up its right to enrichment. Indeed, zero enrichment is so unlikely it should not be the basis of policy.
A continued stalemate does not serve U.S. interests. With no agreement, Iran's capabilities will continue to grow, and the uncertainty is already provoking others in the region to hedge their options. Pressure for U.S. military action, and the likelihood of Israeli military action, will grow. The hostile atmosphere will also undermine reformers in Iran and strengthen its anti-American factions.
Some form of negotiated agreement, if it can be achieved, is the "least bad" option for U.S. interestsbut is likely to have to include some continuing enrichment in Iran. There are real security risks in agreeing to permit some ongoing enrichment in Iran, but if appropriately managed, these security risks are less than those created by a military strike or allowing Iran to continue unfettered enrichment with no agreement.
An Agreement Might Change Iranian Thinking for the Better
If Iran is determined to get a nuclear bomb and there is a government consensus behind that objective, no negotiated solution will workIran will either reject or violate any agreement that would stand in the way. But it appears that while some factions support building nuclear weapons, others believe Iran can get most of what it seeks by putting a weapons option in place, without actually building a bomb. If this is the case, a negotiated agreement might actually change Iranian thinking about nuclear weapons. Once Iran began receiving the benefits of an agreement, the arguments of those who wanted to maintain the agreement would be strengthened, and the political threshold that would have to be crossed to build a bomb would be raised. A U.S.-Iran agreement would reduce Iran's perceived security threatsthus undermining opponents of the agreement. And by providing non-nuclear benefits to Iran, an agreement would bring other voices into Iranian decision-making (e.g., the finance minister or the oil minister), who may be less enthusiastic about Iran's nuclear ambitions and more sensitive to costs.
Risks of an Agreement
There are three key risks of an agreement that permits continued uranium enrichment in Iran.
- Breakout at declared facilities: Iran could use its known, monitored facilities to produce weapons material and, ultimately, nuclear weapons.
- Use of covert facilities: Iran could establish covert enrichment or plutonium production facilities - and use that material for weapons.
- Global precedents: Any agreement that allowed continuing enrichment in Iran would have an effect on global nonproliferation efforts, and particularly efforts to convince other states not to pursue enrichment of their own. It also would impact security balances in the region and the credibility of the UN Security Council. There may be a perception that Iran "got away with" defying the major powers and the Security Council.
Of these three, a breakout at Iran's known facilities is the least likely. Using declared facilities would advertise the violation and provoke a response; the facilities also might be destroyed before sufficient weapons material was produced. Though Iran today has approximately enough low enriched uranium (LEU) to produce about two bombs, should it be enriched further, it would take weeks to months to modify Natanz and produce highly enriched uraniumand Natanz might well be destroyed during that period.
Limiting the Risk of Breakout at Declared Facilities
It may be possible to negotiate measures that would reduce the risk of a breakout at Iran's declared facilities. These might include:
- Verification measures that would rapidly detect modification and HEU production.
- International ownership and 24/7 international staff, which would improve verification and increase the barriers to using the facilities for weapons purposes. (An international staff would also be more likely to notice if significant numbers of the Iranian staff were disappearing to work on covert facilities.) The potential risk is that an international staff would inevitably bring some additional centrifuge know-how. This approach also adds "legitimacy" to Iran's ongoing activity.
- Limiting the number of centrifuges to a low level. However, it is unclear how much rollback is possible. Another option is to put some centrifuges on a "cold standby"to not dismantle them, but to not keep them spinning. It could take weeks to get them going again.
- Shipping LEU out of the country for fabrication. This approach, now the focus of discussions, would be significant because making HEU from natural uranium takes roughly four times as much work as making HEU from LEU.
- Broad transparency measures, such as access to records, interviews with key experts, and the like.
Limiting the Risk of Use of Covert Facilities
Covert facilities are the most likely Iranian path to a bomb, and the most difficult to addressa risk that was highlighted by the revelation of a covert facility near Qom. Military strikes would not, however, resolve the problem of covert facilities (if the facilities are hidden, the military would not know where to strike), and neither would an agreement on zero Iranian enrichment (since inspectors might not find a hidden facility either). The best that can be done is to reduce Iranian incentives to take this route by: (1) Increasing the costs to Iran of being caught violating the agreement. This could include increasing the ongoing benefits Iran would receive in a dealso that stakeholders in Iran would not want to forego those benefits. (2) Increasing Iran's assessment of the probability it would be caught violating the agreementthrough the Additional Protocol and other transparency measures. These could include expanded, private interviews with scientists and engineers, expanded verification at the conversion facility, and increasing requirements for reporting and access to all centrifuges, production and procurement. Although "zero" is easier to verify than any other number, the agreement can focus on zero centrifuges and zero procurement of key components outside of the agreed regime, so that any undeclared centrifuge or procurement detected would be a violation.
To build confidence in the absence of covert procurement and manufacturing, P5+1 negotiators should propose:
- Declaration and monitoring of all centrifuge manufacture and testing,
- Declaration of all purchases (domestic and foreign) of key centrifuge components, key materials (e.g., maraging steel), and
- Opportunities to interview key participants (designers, managers, procurement officers).
Mitigating the Global Precedent
Should Iran be allowed to continue to enrich uranium on its soil, it could set a precedent that would ripple through the region and also impact other global nonproliferation efforts. This is the most difficult of the risks of an agreement with Iran to manage. Israel and the Gulf states will be concerned over the lingering potential for Iran to violate a pact and produce a bomb. Moreover, states in the region and elsewhere may be less likely to accept deals in which they commit not to enrich or reprocess (similar to the recent deal struck with the United Arab Emirates). However, it is also possible that the credibility of the UN Security Council could be increased by finding an appropriate resolution to the conflict, and that global nonproliferation regime could be strengthened by an Iran without nuclear weapons.
Plausible steps to mitigate these risks include:
- Emphasize the opprobrium and sanctions Iran endured as a result of noncompliance, until it was willing to reach, and comply with, a reasonable agreement with the international community.
- Emphasize that enrichment in Iran is only acceptable on a limited basis under unprecedented controls.
- Emphasize this agreement as a new model of a more stringent approach to sensitive fuel cycle activities.
- Negotiate Iranian steps to come into full compliance with IAEA safeguards. This need not require full Iranian "confession" on its past weaponization activities.
- If possible, negotiating a short-term suspension of enrichment and reprocessing work would have value, as, in combination with safeguards compliance and broad transparency, it would mean Iran had complied with the Security Council resolutions. The security benefit of short-term suspension, however, is not worth sacrificing other major elements of an agreement.
Outline of a Limited Compromise
Here is one example of what a compromise with Iran could look like:
- The P5+1 agrees to allow some operational centrifuges in Iran.
- Iran agrees to limit enrichment to 2-8 centrifuge cascades (other centrifuges in place, but not operating).
- All centrifuge operations, R&D, manufacture (also other sensitive nuclear operations) are shifted to international ownership with a 24/7 international staff.
- Iran agrees to the Additional Protocol and broad transparency measures.
- The P5+1 implements an incentives package (trade, nuclear assistance, etc.).
- Bilateral and multilateral dialogues are established to address other issues over timeincluding recognition and an end to sanctions if these other issues are successfully addressed.
- The United States pledges not to attack Iran and not to attempt to overthrow the regime as long as (a) Iran complies with its nuclear obligations, (b) Iran does not commit or sponsor aggression or terrorist attacks against others.
The Compliance Problem
One of the key realities negotiators must face is that Iran has violated past agreements and may violate a new one. The United States should work with the rest of the P5+1 to ensure that there is real agreement that if Iran agrees to a pact with all of the P5+1, and then violates it, they will jointly support severe sanctions in response. Such an agreement should be as specific as practicable to minimize the chances of a dispute over whether Iran is complying. In the event of noncompliance, the U.S. and others should be prepared for rapid action.
Time and Flexibility Needed
Time and flexibility are likely to be needed in order to overcome 30 years of mistrust between the United States and Iran. Many on each side are convinced the other side is not negotiating seriously. Setting tight deadlines (such as six months) is likely to be a recipe for failure. Ultimately, to get Iran to address the P5+1 concerns, the P5+1 must address Iran's concernsa deal not seen as serving Iran's interests, as well as ours, will be rejected or will fail.

Yikes, Ive had some bad PIP nothing like this. If it gets red, swollen and hot go to the doctor its infected.
I juiced oil based GP and got mean case of pips the next day, I made the mistake of forgetting to warm the oil and didn't massage too much =P (my fault). So is there anything I can do to speed up the recovery? its a bad case so I am thinking it will be sore for about 7 days but I got leg work in 3?
Hot cold water?
Icy hot, stretching, making the leg more active, resting the leg?
I got a compression bandage on it right now because walking to the kitchen my leg almost buckled, it feels okay with the warmth of the bandage? but when I stand to walk I am all gimpy and my leg is stiff as a board. Also getting into the car, walking up stairs, sitting on the toilet is a task in it self and putting on socks? UGG....
any advise on a fast recovery would be fantastic.
Yikes, Ive had some bad PIP nothing like this. If it gets red, swollen and hot go to the doctor its infected.
Thing like this are the reason I pin the muscles to be worked that day, if a pin falls on that day. This is the best way to help dissipate oil from a injection site. Never get pain unless the oil has a pip of its own. In that case can't do anything a out it...
GP= Geneza Pharmacy?

GP=great pain lol

Maybe i overlooked it but what did you pin ?
Nothing should give you that much pain. I would trash it.

Geneza oil carrier sucks i got the same trouble with Balkan P i got a lot of PIP so i decided to mixed up with another UGL brand and VOILA no more pain
Sent from my iPhone using VPN Shield
I have had great things about this exotic blend so i thought id give it a try. I also pinned a whole 1ml the first time around, maybe i should have broken it up to two 1/2mls a week
So what if you have back and biceps that day? do you pin each bicep?
For the most part I do try to pin bi-lateral. Bis then I do both left and right, tris and so on. The only muscle I don't do that with is the glute.
Well I made a appointment for my doctor today. from the pin site (BLUE) the pain moved down towards my knee (RED)? last night my knee was swollen, red and hot so its time to have it checked out. I think next time pinning my Glute maybe safer [IMG][/IMG]
your pin site should be way higher and also... Also it does not matter if you pinned the glute (or any other muscle) that has all the signs of an infection and would have infected any muscle you pinned. I ask again who is the manufacturer? Geneza?
All characters appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.
Yes the body kind of assimilates or gets used to a substance and it doesnt hurt I always notice PIP the first 2 weeks then it goes away. After that if it hurts then i hit a bad spot. But nothing like what your describing. Sounds like an infection.
I once had test suspension and let me tell you nothing hurts like that shit. makes prop seem like Novocaine. But the heat and joint pain is whats scary.
So I seen my doctor and he thinks its my bodys reaction to the oil or something blended in the test, it dispersed and when it hit my knee it triggered a gout attack. I haven't had goit in over two years till I pinned this time. What's a good basic test to run that is not oil based?
Could be in EO oil... I made some bold cyp with EO and... fuck! The EO took me out for like 4days. Iv made bold cyp before and after without EO and had zero problems with it so I know it was the EO not my baking skills.
Whats the mg of the oil your using? In most cases there's no need for EO to be used, so unless your oil is something crazy like 500+ there is no need for it. Unless your using a exotic but I'm sure that's not the case.
BTW how did I get a negative 1 million rep points? LOL
even on the GP site they say the gluteus maximus or (butt cheek) should be the injection spot, I never thought it would be this bad or stopped to think it would affect gout I haven't had in years.
I spoke to my doctor and he is cool with me doing it for recreation but thinks I should ditch the sust270 and try something else as I maybe allergic to something blended in it.
What would be similar to sust270 but people have experienced that is less harsh on pip and easier to work with? Any advice will be taken as a testing phase only pass or fail as everyone is different, but any advice would be helpful.
Please also excuse me I am not sourcing anything but simply asking about the different brands and NOT where to get it from. Thanks
my next run with anything oily will be warmed before pinned, massaged after pinned, soaked in a hot bath and worked out that day. I am pulling all the stops after this lol
I'm just trying to explain people react differantly to differant oils, mostly EO...Look my thought is this... If it happend from first pin from a new bottle of something you have never used before... Maybe it's the contents of the vial. If you had pinned it before from the same vail and you had no problems then the problem your having it from you, you caused the irritation.Also, the negged points are most Likly you ask alot of question that a quick google search would clear up. IMO you ask alot of things the you should know before you start using... That's most Likly why you got negged. This is a forum to ask and learn but if you don't do some foot work on your own the problems your having will just keep happening untill you learn a little bit about the chemicals your puttin in your body. So lay off the drugs do some searching for the good and bad then try again.Politicly correct rant over...
I can't pin my quads no matter how good the oils are or how little I pin because I end up getting super swollen legs, very red, and in massive amount of pain. Could pin a shit ton in my delt with the same everything and nothing happens.
Now as far as oils you might also want to look for better sources. Both Crimson and Sciroxx oils have worked perfectly for me and I did not get any PIP from them.
^^^^ this... I do not ever pin quads. Done it 3-4xevery time it leave a bruse and massive amounts of pain behind. So I have givin up on quads. calfs and tris are a great spot for me though lol...
What I did was warmed the oil before pinning, massaged after pinning, soaked in a hot bath for 15 mins and did a few leg exercises to get the blood flowing, after that I went about my day and I feel great!
NOTES on GP SUST 270:
What I suggest is with GP Sust270 Do not ever pin your thighs, I have found that this oil is very harsh. Pinning the buttocks is like butter with zero pip...
This was a test run on sust270, I will finish up my cycle and next cycle probably switch to GP Test Cyp 250 , again in the glute for my own personal comfort.
If your pinning often don't pin the same muscle over and over... I try never to pin any one muscle more then 1x wk... At least do left butt Cheek next shot right butt cheek. After some time give shoulders a try. Really the only muscle that I know most people have a lot of problems with is their quads everything else seems to be pretty easy for most.
I understand where you are coming from on a forum standpoint, but please keep in mind NOT everything on the web is a viable source of information and what seems to be legit to those less experienced would seem very wrong or a common sense "dont" to the regular user that understands how things work. Forums are here to inform people of correct information to make viable choices, if a question is not asked what is the forum for? there is no sense beating up someone because they want to learn and enjoy the same thing that everyone else does? I don't jump on automotive forums and bash someone because its as simple as a blown fuse, I help them because they are asking for it.
Being in the negative immediately just because someone is new and wants to enjoy the highlights of what you all do is just plain wrong. Instead how about inform, teach and point things out no matter how newbie or stupid the question maybe? If not think about it this way....Not everyone in the world will figure out chemistry on their own. so there will be a handful of people passing on viable knowledge to others, when does a man better himself? when training others or keeping it to himself? :end rant
Sorry for the rant take is however you want I mean no dissrespect, I just had to say it.
As a side note never put ice on an area with pip. If you do you run the risk of crystallization of the hormone and increasing pain. Anti inflammatory drugs ( Advil), heat, massage, and working that muscle you pinned are the only way.
And I may be mistaken but you are continuing to use the stuff that gave you a fever? If not ok. If so def not a good idea.
Me me personally have no problem with quads. You have to know where to pin though. That shouldn't even have to be said but many people just go sticking needles in them without any regard. Half the people I talk to are like aspirate what is that.
I will go pro!
As far as my sports medicine doctor states I have a mild allergy to something in the sust so Yes, I stopped at 8ml left in the bottle. I will either give it away or toss it being a bit too exotic for my body. I ordered some simple test cyp, ill try that as the basic stuff a lot of people dont seem to have problems with. The PIP I can handle, its when it gets swollen, red, hard, and you have slight scarring of muscle tissue is when I start to feel uncomfortable. My kids call me the "tank", I have gotten hurt not have known it until my wife tells me "you should go see a doctor" and I get a xray to find out I am breaking bones LOL.

Not covered by the crib rule
The new federal requirements apply to cribs made available for use in child care facilities and family child care homes.
A child care facility or center provides child care services, which can include early learning opportunities, for a fee, in a nonresidential setting and are usually, although not always, licensed by the state. A child care facility or center provides care and education to any number of children in a nonresidential setting, although the term can include a facility or center operating in a residential setting, where care is provided to 13 or more children, if the facility is open on a regular basis.
A family child care home provides child care services, which can include early learning opportunities, for a fee, in a residential setting, usually in a home other than that of the child or children for whom care is provided, although the child or children of the caregiver may also attend. Family child care homes can be licensed, but the requirements for licensure vary by state. Regulations from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services provide that the caregiver in a family child care home generally provides child care services for fewer than 24 hours per day, per child, in a residence, other than the child's residence, unless care in excess of 24 hours is due to the nature of the parent(s)' work.
Arrangements where a child or children are cared for in their home ("in-home care" or "care by a relative") by a relative or a nanny are excluded from the definition of "family child care home." These arrangements are characterized by the in-home nature of the care or the fact that the parties are related (i.e., care is provided by a grandmother or another family relation).
If a child care facility or family child care home is licensed, it is likely offering cribs for use that are covered by the new crib rule. However, just because a family child care home is not licensed in a particular state does not mean that the facility is not covered by the crib rule.
A foster care home where the child is cared for 24/7 and resides in the foster care home, which is a private residence, is not a "family child care home." A public residential facility where a child is cared for 24/7 is a "place of public accommodation," and is covered by the crib rule.
If a church owns or operates a child care facility and pays a person or people to care for children, that child care center is covered by the CPSC's crib rule. However, if the child care arrangement at a church involves parents (or others) volunteering to care for children during church service (and no one is paid to care for the children), this arrangement is not covered by the crib rule.

London quintet elevated in JP Morgan reshuffle
The sole head of the corporate and investment bank at JP Morgan has unveiled his first reshuffle at the unit since taking the helm late last month, with five London-based sales and trading executives among those to be handed new responsibilities.
Daniel Pinto, who became sole head of the corporate and investment bank at JP Morgan last month following the departure of co-head Mike Cavanagh, today announced a raft of changes to the unit's leadership team.
As part of the changes, five London-based sales and trading executives – Guy America, James Kenny, Tim Throsby, Alessandro Barnaba and Sikander Ilyas – have been handed expanded roles.
America, who has risen through the ranks of the London operation since joining in 1994 and who previously looked after global credit trading as well as debt syndication, is to become co-head of global credit (including emerging markets credit), securitised products and public finance with Matt Cherwin.
Kenny, who has in the past won praise from Pinto for his role in helping the bank manage market volatility in his role in charge of global emerging markets, will become co-head of global rates, foreign exchange, commodities and emerging markets with Troy Rohrbaugh.
The London-based head of global equities, Throsby, will become chair of the CIB Technology Strategy Council, while Alessandro Barnaba and Sikander Ilyas, who previously co-led sales and marketing in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, will become co-heads of international sales and marketing.
Other significant changes include the appointment of Carlos Hernandez as co-head of global banking alongside Jeff Urwin, Jeff Bosland as head of treasury services, John Horner as head of investor services, and Joyce Chang as global head of research.
When asked about whether there would be changes to his senior team as a result of Cavanagh's departure last month, Pinto told Financial News that an organisation as big as JP Morgan would always need to evolve.
He said at the time: "Even before this, when we were two instead of one, the CIB is quite big. We did think about how to tackle that, and the way to address that is to have the best people possible run each business."

Interactive Travel Map | Text the SecretaryAbout the Author: Gregory Marchese is the Deputy Principal Officer at the U.S. Consulate General, Jerusalem.
Secretary Clinton arrived in Jerusalem yesterday evening and, by the time this entry is posted, will be well into a busy morning schedule in Jerusalem that includes meetings with Israeli President Peres and Foreign Minister Livni, as well as a visit to Yad Vashem, Israel's official memorial to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust. At the U.S. Consulate General here in Jerusalem, we've been preparing for this visit for the past week, working closely with our colleagues in the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv as well as the Secretary's advance team. Our two posts are no strangers to high-level visits, although this one is particularly important because it's Hillary Rodham Clinton's first visit to Jerusalem as Secretary of State. Preparations have gone smoothly enough that I don't expect my morning at the office to be particularly out of the ordinary.
In any case, our colleagues in the Embassy in Tel Aviv will have the lead on the meetings with Israeli government officials, while we deal with the Municipality of Jerusalem and the Palestinian Authority. This afternoon, both the Embassy and the Consulate General will be part of a "meet and greet," and our employees and their families will have a chance to meet the Secretary in person. A colleague of mine who's coordinating that event will be posting an entry to describe what it was like. Starting tomorrow morning, we're up again, and we'll be supporting the Secretary's visit to Ramallah -- about 40 minutes away, in the West Bank -- for meetings with Palestinian Authority President Abbas and Prime Minister Fayyad as well as a visit with Palestinian young people. Watch this space for some more postings from us on those events tomorrow.
Rhonda in Illinois writes:
Honorable Secretary of State Clinton,
It's so imperative that the U.S. continues to show unequivocal support to Israel... Please do not waiver on this policy. If you know anything about the bible, it is critical to our nation. There is a huge constituency in the U.S. that will attest to their support of this small nation... May God guide this administration in all of its decisions.... Thanks for this blog.
Alan in Texas writes:
I wish you much success there. It is a beautiful land. Shame religions have to devestate earth so. We need to find a way toward peace Madam Secretary. I hope your trip keeps you well. Much love, Alan in Houston
Bella in Pennsylvania writes:
How wonderful that you share this trip with us. May God bless Madame Secretary and all involved and give them the wisdom to show stong support for Israel while understanding the need for a Palestinian homeland.
Brandon H. in California writes:
Warm Wishes Madame Secretary and Luck with your travels.
I am so proud of the work you have done the your goals moving forward. I so desperately hope you run again and win the highest office in our land when President Obama is done serving. Much Love!

Cultural Deviancy, Not Guns
There's a story told about a Paris chief of police who was called to a department store to stop a burglary in progress. Upon his arrival, he reconnoitered the situation and ordered his men to surround the entrances of the building next door. When questioned about his actions, he replied that he didn't have enough men to cover the department store's many entrances but he did have enough for the building next door. Let's see whether there are similarities between his strategy and today's gun control strategy.
Last year, Chicago had 512 homicides; Detroit had 411; Philadelphia had 331; and Baltimore had 215. Those cities are joined by other dangerous cities — such as St. Louis, Memphis, Tenn., Flint, Mich., and Camden, N.J. — and they also lead the nation in shootings, assaults, rapes and robberies. Both the populations of those cities and their crime victims are predominantly black. Each year, more than 7,000 blacks are murdered. Close to 100 percent of the time, the murderer is another black person.
According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, between 1976 and 2011, there were 279,384 black murder victims. Though blacks are 13 percent of the nation's population, they account for more than 50 percent of homicide victims. Nationally, the black homicide victimization rate is six times that of whites, and in some cities, it's 22 times that of whites. Coupled with being most of the nation's homicide victims, blacks are also most of the victims of violent personal crimes, such as assault and robbery. The magnitude of this tragedy can be seen in another light. According to a Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute study, between 1882 and 1968, 3,446 blacks were lynched at the hands of whites.
What percentage of murders, irrespective of race, are committed with what are being called assault weapons? You'd be hard put to come up with an amount greater than 1 or 2 percent. In fact, according to FBI data from 2011, there were 323 murders committed with a rifle of any kind but 496 murders committed with a hammer or a club. But people who want to weaken our Second Amendment guarantees employ a strategy like that of the Paris chief of police. They can't do much about hammers, clubs, fists or pistols, but by exploiting public ignorance, they might have a bit of success getting an "assault weapon" ban that will have little impact on violent crime.
There are other measures these people employ in an attempt to end violence that border on lunacy. Massachusetts' Hyannis West Elementary recently warned a 5-year-old's parents that if their son made another gun from a Legos set, he'd be suspended. Elementary-school children have been suspended or otherwise disciplined for drawing a picture of a gun or pointing a finger and saying, "Bang, bang." I shudder to think about what would happen to kids in a schoolyard if they played, as I played nearly 70 years ago, "cops 'n' robbers" or "cowboys 'n' Indians." Maybe today's politically correct educators would cut the kids a bit of slack if they said they were playing "cowboys 'n' Native Americans."
What explains a lot of what we see today, which politicians and their liberal allies would never condemn, is growing cultural deviancy. Twenty-nine percent of white children, 53 percent of Hispanics and 73 percent of black children are born to unmarried women. The absence of a husband and father from the home is a strong contributing factor to poverty, school failure, crime, drug abuse, emotional disturbance and a host of other social problems. By the way, the low marriage rate among blacks is relatively new. Census data show that a slightly higher percentage of black adults had married than white adults from 1890 to 1940. In 2009, the poverty rate among married whites was 3.2 percent; for blacks, it was 7 percent, and for Hispanics, it was 13.2 percent. The higher poverty rates — 22 percent for whites, 35.6 percent for blacks and 37.9 percent for Hispanics — are among unmarried families.
Other forms of cultural deviancy are found in the kind of music accepted today that advocates killing and rape and other vile acts. Punishment for criminal behavior is lax. Today's Americans accept behavior that our parents and grandparents never would have accepted.

In a new 12-year agreement, the Atlantic Coast Conference will continue its relationship with the Orange Bowl.
Over that span, the Orange Bowl will host a national semifinal in at least four of those years, according to a press release. If an ACC champion does not qualify, then the school will be placed in one of the three other games that serve as part of the playoff rotation. When the ACC champion is in a playoff and the Orange Bowl is not hosting, another representative from the conference will be chosen.
Outside of the four-team playoff that is coming to college football after 2014, the major bowl system will still largely be in place.
Five of the six conferences that were part of the BCS have future contracts with specific bowl games under the new playoff system. The Pac-12 and Big Ten are still tied to the Rose Bowl and the Big 12 and SEC will play in a Champions Bowl that may rotate between the Sugar and Cotton bowls. The Big East was left off.
The ACC and Orange Bowl have had similar ties since 2006. The Orange Bowl will be played on Jan. 1 at 1 p.m. ET. The game was previously played at night.

All this hatred has to stop.black are treated badly by many whites in this countryand it has to stop.and blacks do treat each other badly to and that has to stop.a lot of your goverment officals are white and they are bias torwards blacks, it has to stop, peoplemjust want fairness.
It's apparent Al Sharpton runs MSNBC and CNN and so I watch Fox News. I need objectivity!!! Sybrina, Trayvon was truly innocent and stalked. He didn't bully or rob anyone. No mother should bury a child but I refuse to sit here and pretend MB was an angel when so many truly innocent black DEAD children in other cities need our support and until we do that the Zimmermans and Officer Wilson will continue to walk free (jurors don't care for thugs). God doesn't like ugly……….

Hooded Orioles are not supposed to be in Beeville. In fact, I could find no official record of breeding Hooded Orioles in this area. The closest record was for Corpus Christi.
But when Johnny Orchard, retired veterinarian and Beeville native, looked out into his yard, he knew he was not seeing one of the regular orioles we have around here. He called his friend, Jimmy Jackson, and told him he had a pair of Hooded Orioles nesting in his palm tree. Disbelieving, Jimmy had to see for himself. Sure enough, they were Hooded Orioles!
Sixty years ago, Hooded Orioles could only be found in the Rio Grande Valley. Their range extended from deep South Texas, westward along the Rio Grande and on into Arizona and California. In Texas, you just didn't see them further than 80 miles from the Rio Grande.
That all changed for the worse during the winter of 1950-1951. A cold spell swept through in early December, damaging many citrus trees. Then the weather was warm for weeks. The citrus groves leafed out again. This was worse than prolonged cold. On Jan. 29, 1951, a second and severe freeze killed 75% of the Valley's citrus trees. Native tropical plants and animals suffered similar losses.
Valley farmers were reluctant to replant citrus. Instead they turned to an annual crop: cotton. A crop could be harvested every year, including the first one. If drought occurred, there was water from the Rio Grande.
Of course, there was that pesky bug, the boll weevil. But new and powerful pesticides were becoming available. Cotton farmers took advantage of these and the insect problem seemed solved.
Unfortunately, the pesticides were detrimental to lots of wildlife in the Valley, especially those birds like the Hooded Oriole that depended on insects for food. Many bird species, whose numbers were already decimated by the freeze, now began to starve. And without riparian woodlands (plowed under for cotton) many species lacked crucial nesting habitat. Survivors moved into marginal habitat and tried to carry on.
To make matters worse, all the leftover cotton vegetation and cottonseed meal were turned into cattle feed. This led to feedlots where thousands of head of cattle could be fattened. Feedlots attract cowbirds. Cowbirds are nest parasites. They lay their eggs in other birds' nests. The poor, targeted species became unwitting foster parents for more cowbirds. Most of their own young did not make it.
Life was hard for Hooded Orioles.
By the 1970s, Hooded Orioles were rare in the Valley. Some must have moved upriver along the Rio Grande. A few dispersed northward and settled on the King Ranch and in the occasional suburb. One of the more remarkable sightings was of a breeding pair feeding young in Bell County, in central Texas, in 1961. That pair was discovered by our own Beeville birder, Mrs. Velma Geiselbrecht. Her birding buddy, Mrs. Jo Adkins, told me recently that she regrettably missed out on that adventure.
That Bell County record was one of the northernmost for Hooded Orioles. But it was the beginning of a trend. Other previously tropical birds were showing up far north of the Rio Grande Valley. Green Jays, formerly restricted to the Valley, are now regular residents of Beeville. Similarly, Great Kiskadees have expanded their range to our area.
More than 70 species of birds have extended their ranges northward (and eastward) in the last five or six decades. This is considered quite rapid. Many scientists see these range changes as evidence for climate change.
Today, although not nearly as common as they once were, Hooded Orioles can be seen again in the Valley. However, their range now extends over most of South Texas. They prefer residential areas, particularly areas planted with Mexican fan palms. Since these kinds of palms are planted in yards all over South Texas, records of nesting Hooded Orioles turn up in Corpus Christi, Pleasanton, George West, and recently in Beeville.
This summer, for the third year in a row, Johnny Orchard has had Hooded Orioles nesting in his Mexican fan palm. The nest was a beautifully constructed hanging basket woven into the underside of a palm frond. Protected from the rain and the hot sun, the oriole nestlings rocked gently in the breeze. All was well.
Or maybe not. The nestlings in the oriole's nest may have been Bronzed Cowbirds, not the orioles' own young.
Life is hard. And then sometimes it seems to become even harder. Who knows what will become of Hooded Orioles?

Our financial knowledge, behavior, and attitudes have short and long-term impact on our lives and lifestyles. The more you know, the more control you can have on your life and the easier it will be to: prepare for unexpected expenses, save for desired items, and feel financially secure. Most of all, financial literacy is for everyone!
Children can learn to save, students can learn to budget and how to use a credit card wisely, adults can plan for their long term future including buying a home and planning for retirement.
The Administration for Children and Families' Assets for Independence (AFI) program plays a role in educating individuals so they can make smart financial decisions for themselves and their families. More than 200 local organizations run AFI programs throughout the country, strengthening communities from within through the use of matched savings accounts called Individual Development Accounts (IDAs). The programs require their participants to undertake financial education and as of fiscal year 2012, 79,433 AFI participants had completed a financial education course!
To ensure those nearly 80,000 participants get the most out of their financial literacy courses, the AFI Resource Center provides extensive resources on topics in financial literacy, including effective education strategies, and several financial literacy curriculums. Importantly, AFI recognizes that different populations have different financial education needs, and therefore showcases multiple financial education techniques and curriculums. For example, the AFI Resource Center has extensive resources on providing financial education for youth that walk through considerations such as: focusing on specific segments of the youth population, understanding their training needs, and tailoring financial education to fit those needs.
See how the AFI Resource Center can strengthen your financial education strategies!

Editor: I am a veteran. My father was in the 2nd Division during World War I and is interred at Arlington National Cemetery. My brother is a veteran. I met my wife of 45 years while on active duty, her father being on active duty at the time. While on active duty I felt I was fairly compensated with some benefits that aren't readily available to civilians. I gained valuable life skills during my service.
I bought my first home with a GI loan with nothing down. I bought another home taking advantage of the GI bill. In between, I attended graduate school with reimbursements from the VA.
I was born in Washington, DC and over the years, spent many years working in the area having lived in Arlington, Bethesda and the District of Columbia itself. I have visited the major memorials on the Mall and would note that these memorials are on a public park like Memorial Hill nearby.
In short, I don't feel that Heber City or the government in general owes me more than they have already given me. I don't live in Heber City so at one level, if they want to spend taxpayer money on hangars, hanging baskets and leather jackets with matching dunce caps, why should I care? Well, ultimately this spending will translate into higher taxes on business resulting in higher prices or perhaps a business I patronize deciding that it just isn't worth it to kept he doors open.
I am proud of my service and thankful for the respect the nation has already shown me for it. But, some veteran's may be in need of financial support such as a job. I'd rather see discretionary funds be directed at that need.

Wasatch County
June 13 – Time to Take a Stand
Editor: Last year, the citizens of this county spoke up, filed and signed a petition, just to have it trampled by our County Manager and County Council. What was set in motion was the formation of a committee who would investigate the idea of changing the form of government to one where the manager would be responsible to the citizens via the ballot box. Interesting enough, the committee was formed, but under the direction of Mr. Davis, and the first meetings were directed by him!
The study committee was asked to look into the pros and cons of changing the form of government. I extend an extreme thanks to the committee members– they are working hard! Unfortunately, their efforts, I believe, are in vain. No matter what the committee decides, the ultimate decision is to be made by the County Council – the same council who already voted to obstruct the rights of the citizens and keep things the way they are. If the council votes against the committee recommendation, then the only option for the citizens at that point is to have the original petitioner put the same question on the ballot box for the voters to decide (i.e. Mr. Davis). Do you honestly think that Mike Davis would do that? That is why Mr. Davis decided to obstruct the citizen's rights in their petition efforts last year. Now he controls the entire outcome and the voters have no say. He has effectively denied the citizens their very legal rights.
This Thursday is your chance to be heard. You must stand up, speak up, and let the County know how displeased you are with the current form of government corruption. Until the citizens take a stand, corruption will continue to escalate and your rights will continue to erode. You see it nationally, and now locally. It is time for the citizens to take back the control of the government. Government works FOR the people, not the other way around. I am not willing to stand aside. Please go to the meeting at the Senior Center on Thursday at 7 p.m. and share your concerns.

More Spending
Editor: A little over a year ago, the Wasatch School District was having trouble publishing the annual budget in a timely fashion. Upon repeated requests a budget was finally provided to the requesting taxpayers. This document showed a little more information than past budget and indicated there was a substantial excess reserve in the maintenance and operating fund.
According to Utah Code and the SAO Audit Guide (GC-18) "There is no limitation on school district fund balances except for amounts designated to meet unexpected and unspecified contingencies. Such undistributed reserves" may not exceed 5% of the maintenance and operations budget. (53A-19-103(1))"
Because of the delay in providing the budget, the board 'approved' and set a second hearing for public input. Noting that excess funds were being kept for a "rainy day," taxpayers requested a return of the overtaxed money, in the form of a property tax reduction. While taxpayers were allowed minimal time to present the case, the request was soundly refused by the Board with an extended discussion that they needed the money, and it was proper.
The Business administrator also presented a previously unseen data sheet showing that 'only' 2.5% of the general fund reserve was "undistributed" and 13% was "unassigned," a distinction without a difference. So they declared no tax reduction was possible. This 'reserve' was modified in the next report to 5% "undistributed" and 7% "unassigned," for unknown reasons.
The taxpayers formally, by letter, requested a further discussion, on this issue, at the next meeting which was summarily dismissed, and taxpayers were denied the right to publicly discuss the item.
Fast forward to 2013, a retreat was held at Daniel Summit to work on the upcoming budget and , as an added agenda item, to hear: "Discussion of different ways for public to provide input at board meetings."
At that meeting they elatedly announced, to themselves, that revenues for next year would increase by $1.5 million, and they would have to find ways handle it. Additionally, when the budget was finally published a surplus of $1 million was shown for the current year (the one taxpayers were denied a tax reduction); so there would effectively be an extra $2.5 million for 2013/14. Not surprisingly, they were able to find ways to spend it and were able to create a budget showing expenditures of $56,576,893 an increase of $2.5 million over FY 2013, and an increase in spending of 6.6% in one year.
Since the 49% tax increase at the last "Truth"in Taxation hearing in 2007, there has been little truth, but a lot of taxation. In just three years, from 2011/12 to 2013/14, WSC total salaries have increased by 12.4% and accompanying benefits have increased by 31.9% . In 2011, total benefits were shown as 50% additional to salaries, by 2014 that figure will increase to 58.7%. One wonders how the average taxpayer has done relative to these increases.
The School Budget Hearing, on June 18, may be your only chance to voice your opinion, as it appears they did not resolve the issue of how to find ways for more public input. Emails seem to fall into the great NSA collection scheme, as they are not answered.

The Time is Now for Comment on Canal Reconstruction
Editor: Due to recent canal failures in Utah, the Federal Government proposes to revamp Wasatch County's earthen canals by lining them with concrete structures.
This project will take many years to complete but, when finished, will prove devastating to wildlife, that live along the entire Coyote Ridge.
The Timp Canal above the Valley Hills is already in concrete. It measures 10 feet wide with vertical sides 5 feet tall. With no bridges or escape ramps planned, these structures are virtual moats. When complete, animals will be unable to gain access water or food below. This will render thousands of acres of critical habitat useless.
One Wasatch View resident has rescued three fawns, removed three other dead fawns. This small section represents only 10 % of the total 17 mile proposed project.
There is also a sensitive riparian area that lies within the scope of the project. It runs for a mile just north of SR 32 (the Kamas road) along Old Highway 40 towards the Jordanelle Dam. This stretch of stream sits in the bottom of the valley and poses no threat of flooding. Yet it is slated for eventual piping or concrete.
This most northern reach of the Wasatch Canal was acquired by the Utah Reclamation Mitigation Commission specifically for riparian habitat and fisherman access as part of the recent Provo River Restoration Project. Millions of taxpayer dollars were spent for this purpose. If this area were piped or concrete, Wasatch County residents and visitors will lose an important opportunity to preserve fishing, hiking, and wildlife viewing opportunities. As a taxpayer it is disturbing to think that we paid millions to preserve this habitat only to use more taxpayers' money for a project which is in direct contradiction and will eliminate that purpose less than a decade later.
Water currently leaking from earthen canals into our water table and used by our trees will be "saved" for the people of the lower valleys to provide more water for further development. If you own a well or spring in Heber Valley you might want to ask these important questions. Will my spring be diminished or dry up when the water table is lowered? Will I have to drill a deeper well? These are important questions that deserve answers. However, these answers might never come if the local citizens fail to comment this week.
I am not opposing this project, but I am hoping that the Federal Government will listen to the people to mitigate and minimize the negative impacts to our water table, wildlife and riparian habitat.
Without your comments from our local concerned citizens, there will be a statement and finding of no significant impact.
The time is now. Join me and others in our efforts to persuade the federal decision makers to do a thorough environmental study, and consider alternatives that minimize the negative effects to our water table, wildlife and riparian habitat.

Wasatch School District Not Transparent
Editor: The Wasatch School District is the recipient of the vast majority of the property taxes paid by the taxpayers of Wasatch County. As part of our role to bring transparency to taxpayers of the operations and the spending of Wasatch County governmental entities, the Wasatch Taxpayers Association made a GRAMA request to obtain for publication and comment a full, unabridged budget of the Wasatch School District prior to its 2014 budget public hearing on June 18, 2013. We have been denied a copy of the budget by business administrator, Keith Johansen, which denial has been confirmed by Superintendent Terry Shoemaker. We have never heard of a full budget from any Utah public entity ever being denied to the public when formally requested under GRAMA.
Their argument against releasing the full budget to us is that the school district posted a limited one on its website as required by state law. The very limited budget is vague, impossible to analyze, and fails to give taxpayers enough information to make informed comment at the public hearing, plus it's not what we asked for. Last year the Wasatch School District violated state code and did not release the budget to the public 10 days prior to the public hearing, and voted to pass the budget anyway even though WTPA formally protested the adoption of the budget prior to the hearing due to the code violation. We believe the citizens of Wasatch County have the right to see the complete line item budget.
Your school board is fully aware of this decision by the administrators that work for them, but as of the deadline of this letter to the editor we have yet to hear a reversal of this decision to deny. The school board did have a meeting April 24th at Daniels Summit (we have the recording on our website) to discuss the budget and how to get the public more involved. A great way to start is by releasing the proposed 2014 $56.5 million budget, in its entirety, to the WTPA now so we may post it on our website for all taxpayers to review.
Our question to the school board is do you support full transparency of the Wasatch School District, or are you hiding something from Wasatch County taxpayers? The school board also refused to allow us on last year's September school board agenda to discuss the 2013 budget, and may be ignoring state law on excessive reserves, referenced in our white paper found on our website, which results in higher taxes for all of us. Your board members are President - Blaik Baird, email@example.com, 801 735-4945, Vice Pres. - Debbie Jones, email@example.com, 435 654-1664, Ann Horner, firstname.lastname@example.com, 435 654-1804, Shad Sorenson, firstname.lastname@example.com, 435 657-9492, and Mark Davis, firstname.lastname@example.com, 801-822-4726. If you support our efforts, please write or call them to demand they release a full budget to us immediately so we have time to analyze and share. Please let the WTPA know if you get a response before the budget hearing on June 18, 2013. Please email, or copy us on your original email to the board, at email@example.com
The board of the Wasatch Taxpayers Association includes Dennis Jensen, Gary Oliverson, Anissa Wardell, Chuck Zuercher, Neil Anderton, Ted Browne- vice chair and Tracy Taylor- chair. We volunteer our time along with our members because we believe the taxpayers of Wasatch County have the right to see how much, and where, their hard earned tax dollars are spent. Please go to our website for more info on this issue, as well as others, that affect the taxpayers of Wasatch County, and join our efforts too, at www.wasatchtaxpayersassociaton.com.

The Largest Memorial to All Veterans in County
Editor: Regarding building a new, beautiful, true and outlandishly expensive memorial to our veterans...
I so agree with the Letter to the Wave Editor from the soldier and veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom. People... look past your nose or take a short ride to the highest memorial overlooking the entire valley and the huge effort of the local people who built it. The tireless work by Dr. Raymond Green, Mr. Baldsteadt, Alvah Kohler and his wife, and so many more I wish to applaud.
Please do not throw a shadow over those that volunteered their many hours of time and hard work and those that are continuing to do so. You know who you are.
Well, I don't suppose you can, unless you get a huge bulldozer to bring it down to your level.
Our beautiful Memorial Hill for all to see, and our American Flag, long may it wave. Open your hearts and shut your purses, unless you can feed $300,000 for hungry children or pay for books for their schools. Then get off your duff and go see the real memorial, you know... the hill. Complete with names, dates and places honored for their sacrifices.

Imagining Harrell at Haverford
In the spirit of Harrell Fletcher's and Miranda July's website/book/ongoing interactive project Learning To Love You More, I present three different responses to assignment number two of a list of eight possible assignments given to the among friends interns by James Weissinger, the Associate Director of Haverford's John B. Hurford '60 Humanities Center:
2. Give a brief description of a previous work by one of the artists; then try to re-imagine how it would look/would have looked if it had been undertaken at Haverford. Where on campus would it have been staged? Who would have participated? What changes would have had to have been made?
1. In 1998, Harrell collaborated with Jon Rubin and Anthony Powers on an exhibition at the San Francisco Art Institute's McBean Project Space called "Anthony." The exhibition featured drawings, photographs, videos, sculptures, etc., about Powers, who was a student at the Art Institute, and his interests, which included heavy metal, wrestling, and dogs.
