Approximately 100 miles north of São Paulo in Brazil lies the town of Aparecida, home to the Basílica do Santuário Nacional de Nossa Senhora Aparecida, the second largest basilica in the world. Only Saint Peter's Basilica in Vatican City is larger.
And today on October 12th, a national holiday in Brazil, thousands of devotees are traveling to the Brazilian town to pay homage to Our Lady of Aparecida ("Our Lady Who Appeared"), the country's patron saint.

Traditional Red Yeast Rice
Red Yeast Rice, also known by its Chinese name Xuezhikang, has been used for centuries in Asia as a healthy food condiment. Its beneficial nutritional properties are mentioned in the ancient Chinese pharmacopoeia, BenCaoGangMu-Dashibuyi, published during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).
Traditionally, Red Yeast Rice is prepared by fermentation of a strain of yeast, Monascus purpureus, on rice. The resulting yeast product is crimson, which gives the rice has been used as a condiment in China to flavor bland foods, to preserve meats and to color foods such as fish and cheeses.
This nutritional supplement contains naturally-occurring beneficial unsaturated fatty acids including mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids, phytosterols and other phytonutrients. All are elements of a healthy diet.
Red Yeast Rice is a product of the fermentation of rice with the yeast Monascus purpureus. In China Red Yeast Rice has been used for centuries in foods. Its reddish-purple hue made it useful for coloring rice wine, fish sauces, and picked vegetables.

An Easy Way to Get Your Greens
Posted by bobm128 on Jun 02, 2011
I bought this to drink at work to help me from snacking on unhealthy food. I find it helps curb my hunger in the morning between breakfast & lunch. I tastes like grass (green food taste) with a prominent lemony flavor. I don't mind the flavor, not great, but one of the better greens formulas I've tried. It mixes easily in my shaker but is a little gritty (not in a bad way, just noticeable). I don't know if it's helping my overall energy levels yet, too soon to tell I think, but I do feel the caffeine in it. I'm buying the other flavors (without caffeine) to drink in the afternoons. Give it a try.

I made this for our tea last night as my friend had given me a large jar of home made lemon curd and I halved the recipe as it was just the two of us, my husband wished I hadn't halved it as he said it was one of the nicest puddings he had ever eaten and I have to agree. Delicious and very light. I got everything ready earlier in the afternoon and left the bowl in the fridge and just popped in the microwave when we were ready to sit down to our main meal. I added some blueberries and served with blueberry ice cream. Heaven.
Loved it, so easy and delicious, make sure you don't overcook the sponge in the microwave as it can be a bit dry, I am 7 months pregnant and crave puddings all the time, I would happily skip dinner and have something sweet instead so this is ideal for me, quick, easy and delicious... And my husband is spared the supermarket trip for my cravings!
This recipe is great! I've seen a few of these types of recipes and to be honest I wasn't convinced they would work. The result however was a yummy moist sponge pudding that you could easily pass off as having taken hours to prepare. I've made both the lemon and chocolate versions and both are equally delicious. The only problem is now I want to make and eat this everyday! Thanks bbc good food!
I am not a fan of stodgy puddings, but this is absolutely delicious. Lovely and light and not too filling. I made the lemon recipe the first time. Yesterday I made the basic recipe without the lemon but added ginger instead. Placed golden syrup in the bottom of the basin before adding the ginger mixture - scrummy!
Made this tonight for extended family. Followed the recipe but increased the quantity two-fold. Used a 9 inch square dish and cooked in microwave (full heat, 850W) for approx 6 minutes, mixing after every1 min for first three minutes. Topped with fresh-made lemon curd (http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/5001/microwave-lemon-curd.aspx, used juice and zest of three lemons) and served with creme fresh. Came out perfect, everyone enjoyed it including the 6-year old. Definitely will be maing again, very soon!

Victorino wound up being great. Huge part of that team. 5.6 WAR. Above average bat and defense. I'm really surprised, as it seemed he was trending downward. He made almost the entire value of that contract in Season One, so it looks like a great deal.
I don't think Cabrera was ever going to be traded for Bauer. Kevin Towers, for all his stupidity, wanted a controlled, young SS. I'm still disappointed that we couldn't trade Cabrera to STL for whatever pitcher(s) they were offering, but no sense crying over that.
The Indians made the playoffs with below average offensive years from Bourn, Swisher, and Cabrera. And, really, Swisher and Cabrera were well below average. Swisher wasn't healthy, Bourn never seemed comfortable, and Cabrera was playing through nagging quad injuries, but that's become a hallmark of his career. Never healthy.
I'm sure a lot of teams were interested in Choo. I imagine Arizona was because he lives there in the offseason, so an extension would have been a possibility. They weighed the risk-reward and opted for Gregorius and getting a third team involved. I think it was smart on their part.
There aren't any rumored transactions I can point to and say 'I wish that got done' except Cabrera for pitching from STL. But Cabrera could play an integral part in the offense this year, so maybe it will work out for the best.

Better future look to the past.....
Want a better future look to the past
As a historian I am more apt than not to look to the past for my wisdom today. Much of the world however seem fixated on the future. Religion is in love with the future to the tune of billion upon billion of dollars. The false prophet who predicted the world would end recently made 80 million in the last several years. Left Behind books and movies racked in millions. However it is the past that turns religion into relationship. What Jesus did is what saves us not what he will do in the future. So I want us to think along those lines here today for our future. What will make our future and that of our kids future better? Tonight there will be a GOP debate and each candidate will make promises of their vision for a future. What I hope to hear is someones reflection of our glorious past.
What is that past? Politically speaking I am what people call a strict constitutionalists. This means I think everything must be viewed according to the original intent of the author and not what some bozo in a black robe thinks it means. The founders left mountains of letters and papers telling us what each and every article and amendment meant in our Constitution. So, in reality, there should be no question as to what it means. Yet we have black robes telling us the 1st amendment means separation of Church and state and the 14th means one has a right to privacy and thus may in fact murder their unborn child. Both of these cases could not be further from the truth or the original intent. In fact we really did not even need a 14th amendment because we already had a 10th and that should have been the end all. The 10th is very clear that if it is not in the Constitution than the states need to deal with it. So Roe V Wade should have never allowed abortion in all 50 states. ACLU lawsuits should have never removed Nativity scenes from every town square. However, since we have a generation of revisionist pushing Yankee secularism we can now fully expect more of the same from this batch in 2012.
Want a better future look to the past. The first thing we should bring back from the past is property requirements for voting. This way the politicians cannot bribe votes by loading up a bus with welfare recipients by promising them more freebies. Secondly, we need to return to the election of Senators by the state legislators. This way the senators will stop being paid off by big business and special interest and worry about their home states. Lastly to truly understand our Constitution we need to understand that our rights come from creator God and not Uncle Sam. In doing this, we need to make sure all leadership is moral and upright and followers of Christ. I bet that comment just made some of yours blood boil. But, the fact is our founders clearly spoke that Christians should lead this country.
John Adams said this:
August 28, 1811
"Religion and virtue are the only foundations, not only of all free government, but of social felicity under all governments and in all the combinations of human society."
June 28, 1813
"Now I will avow, that I then believe, and now believe, that those general Principles of Christianity, are as eternal and immutable, as the Existence and Attributes of God; and that those Principles of liberty, are as unalterable as human Nature and our terrestrial, mundane System."
John Q Adams said this:
"Duty is ours; results are God's."
July 4, 1821
"The highest glory of the American Revolution was this; it connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity.
"From the day of the Declaration...they (the American people) were bound by the laws of God, which they all, and by the laws of The Gospel, which they nearly all, acknowledge as the rules of their conduct."
Samuel Admas said this:
"The rights of the colonists as Christians...may be best understood by reading and carefully studying the institution of The Great Law Giver and Head of the Christian Church, which are to be found clearly written and promulgated in the New Testament." (From The Rights of Colonists, 1772)
As they were signing the Declaration of Independence Samuel Adams said never truer words:
"We have this day restored the Sovereign to Whom all men ought to be obedient. He reigns in heaven and from the rising to the setting of the sun, let His kingdom come."
"He therefore is the truest friend to the liberty of this country who tries most to promote its virtue, and who, so far as his power and influence extend, will not suffer a man to be chosen into any office of power and trust who is not a wise and virtuous man....The sum of all is, if we would most truly enjoy this gift of Heaven, let us become a virtuous people."
Sir William Blackstone
(Blackstone's Commentaries on the Law was the recognized authority on the law for well over a century after 1776)
"Man, considered as a creature, must necessarily be subject to the laws of his Creator, for he is entirely a dependent being....And, consequently, as man depends absolutely upon his Maker for everything, it is necessary that he should in all points conform to his Maker's will...this will of his Maker is called the law of nature. These laws laid down by God are the eternal immutable laws of good and evil...This law of nature dictated by God himself, is of course superior in obligation to any other. It is binding over all the globe, in all countries, and at all times: no human laws are of any validity if contrary to this...
"The doctrines thus delivered we call the revealed or divine law, and they are to be found only in the holy scriptures...[and] are found upon comparison to be really part of the original law of nature. Upon these two foundations, the law of nature and the law of revelation, depend all human laws; that is to say, no human laws should be suffered to contradict these.
"Blasphemy against the Almighty is denying his being or providence, or uttering contumelious reproaches on our Savior Christ. It is punished, at common law by fine and imprisonment, for Christianity is part of the laws of the land.
"If [the legislature] will positively enact a thing to be done, the judges are not at liberty to reject it, for that were to set the judicial power above that of the legislature, which should be subversive of all government."
"The preservation of Christianity as a national religion is abstracted from its own intrinsic truth, of the utmost consequence to the civil state, which a single instance will sufficiently demonstrate.
"The belief of a future state of rewards and punishments, the entertaining just ideas of the main attributes of the Supreme Being, and a firm persuasion that He superintends and will finally compensate every action in human life (all which are revealed in the doctrines of our Savior, Christ), these are the grand foundations of all judicial oaths, which call God to witness the truth of those facts which perhaps may be only known to Him and the party attesting; all moral evidences, therefore, all confidence in human veracity, must be weakened by apostasy, and overthrown by total infidelity.
"Wherefore, all affronts to Christianity, or endeavors to depreciate its efficacy, in those who have once professed it, are highly deserving of censure."
Samuel Chase said this of our form of government:
"By our form of government, the Christian religion is the established religion; and all sects and denominations of Christians are placed upon the same equal footing, and are equally entitled to protection in their religious liberty."
I want to close with a quote from the very first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. This only goes to show the true amount of revisionism has taken place. If we really want a better country we must return the power to the states and return our will to God alone. This is the only way to make this nation great again. To ignore this will only mean more finical ruin and eventual failure. America is nothing more than a secular empire who will fail just as Rome, Britain and so many more.
John Jay
(America's first Supreme Court Chief Justice and Co-Author of the Federalist Papers)
October 12, 1816
"Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.
Thanks for reading. I will hope as educated people you will see the future needs the past and you will no longer give any quarter to the secularist who are destroying your freedoms. If you want a better life look to the past. You want better government look to people not filled with empty promises, but with common sense values. May God restore us and return us to our humble beginnings.

Unable to catch up
This is a concerned taxpayers response to the "Dickinson backs 9-1-1 proposal" printed in the Iron Mountain Daily News by Jim Anderson, News Editor, on Tuesday, Jan. 15, 2013.
First, some facts. The 2012 tax bill millage (Dickinson County) (Excludes City and Township) is 9.2703 mills. In 2003 the county millage was 7.2703 mills.
This is an increase of 2.000 mills. (This includes new taxes of Health Dept., .3500 mills; Bay College, 1.000 mills; Senior Citizen increase, .1500 mills; and Road Commission, .5000 mills) and they want more and more.
The 1.000 mill for Bay College is for a Delta County college for 20 years. We still have not heard from Michigan Attorney General if this tax is legal.
The Dickinson County Road Commission .5000 mills benefits the cities of Iron Mountain, Kingsford, and Norway, only.
Now, the article by News Editor Jim Anderson. When you print "Dickinson backs 9-1-1 proposal," you should clarify that in this case Dickinson is five or maybe six Dickinson County Board of Commissioners.
They would be Henry Wender, Joe Stevens, John Degenaer Jr. Ann Martin, and Frank Smith. (Replaced by Barbara Kramer).
They alone bear all the past 20 years, present, and future problems incurred and occurring. They are blaming the Michigan Public Service Commission for action in 2007 causing this problem.
In 2007, as managers of Dickinson County, they should have stood up like other counties did and corrected the problem. Instead they sluffed it off because they did not have any rules, guidelines, or by-laws to go by. Same old, same old.
"In Michigan, 24 counties have extra-voted millages for central dispatch services, including Delta (0.5 mills) and Marquette (0.4862 mills)."
This is what I have been trying to tell the Dickinson County taxpayers, citizens, and voters for quite some time. These counties have now and have in the past rules, guidelines, and by-laws to follow when facing and correcting problems such as the 9-1-1 central dispatch.
The five Dickinson County Commissioners are the only county that does not have rules, guidelines, or by-laws to follow and consequently they are living way in the past and are unable to catch up. As all of their programs fail, they only know tax and wastefully spend.
They have not given any notice to us citizens that they have any future plans for anything. All Dickinson County taxpayers, voters, and citizens should vote no on the proposed levy of 0.4 mills for three years starting now with your absentee ballots.
After it is defeated, maybe we as citizens can get enough people together to solve these problems that the five commissioners and Mr. Pete Schlitt cannot without more taxes, taxes, taxes.
Get involved before the governor has to send a manager in to correct the problems.

"Shareholders' boardroom clout increases" touts the website at the Interfaith Council on Corporate Responsibility The linked article takes readers to an August 20 essay by Sara Murphy at The Motley Fool in which the author asserts: "New research out today from the Sustainable Investments Institute, or Si2, shows that investors are filing more environmentally and socially themed shareholder resolutions now than ever before, and those resolutions are getting more support during proxy voting than they ever have."
Not so fast, Ms. Murphy. This week another story unfolded, courtesy of The Manhattan Institute Center for Legal Policy. MI's third annual Proxy Monitor, authored by James R. Copland and Margaret M. O'Keefe, counters the ICCR and Murphy narrative significantly. It appears the ICCR folk were distracted after reading the reports first finding:
The number of shareholder proposals introduced is up. The average Fortune 250 company faced 1.26 shareholder proposals on its 2013 proxy statement, up slightly from 1.22 proposals per company in 2012. This trend also holds when considering the 104 proposals excluded from proxy ballots after companies received a letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission assuring them that the agency would take no action against the company due to the proposal's procedural or substantive defects.
So distracted by the presumed good news, in fact, they neglected to read the subsequent findings:
Support for shareholder proposals is down. Only 7 percent of shareholder proposals received the backing of a majority of shareholders in 2013, down from 9 percent in 2012. A smaller percentage of shareholder proposals passed in 2013 than in any other year in the 2006–13 period. Among the 20 proposals receiving majority support, 13 involved just two issues: whether to elect all corporate directors annually and whether each director should be required to receive a majority of votes cast to be elected.
And this: (more…)

New Member Questions
How do I get my newbie questions answered?
Upon entry there is a New Member Oriantation Form printed at the bottom of the page which a Veteran Member will walk you through to answer basic questions. There are also scheduled New Member orientations on the i3 Calendar. Typically they are after the regular member meetings on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of every month. Most all general questions can be answered at one of those Orientations. Please gather a list of all of your questions and bring them in then. We will be happy to answer all of them in one-fell-swoop :)
What is the Google Group i3 internal page used for?
The internal i3 Google Group page is used for BROADCASTs to all members. It is for immediate communication with ALL members. It is not a forum for the accumulation of institutional memory or batch style communications to a subgroup or general discussions over time.
How are Supplies (like garbage bags) purchased/handled?
Supplies are bought by members and donated. That means you. ShoppingList is here.
What are Consumables and how are they purchased/handled?
Consumables are non-component articles that are used with a piece of equipment that are used up and must be replaced periodically. Such as saw blades, and argon for the welders. As you use the equipment there is a "Consumable Box" for contributions in each appropriate Zone. Please donate as you use the Zone's Consumables. New Zone Consumables will be purchased by the Zone Warden with Box Funds.
What are Components and how are they purchased/handled?
Components are materials that will be incorporated into your project, such as resistors, screws, tape, paint, wood, and metal. Small components which are bought in bulk (tape, screws, etc) are bought by the member for a particular project. Excess components (the rest of the tape, the rest of the box of screws, etc.) can be volutarily contributed to the group by storing them in the appropriate zone small components area. If you use signinficant small components, please be considerate and contribute some back, either replinish with like, or other stock.
For lumber, there is an upright storage area. In it, the leftmost slot is set aside for members' personal wood (it should be labeled up top), and all items in there should have someone's name written on them and a date. So, don't use the stuff in that slot, but if there's something in there that would save you a trip to the store, feel free to ask the person named on it, and as often as not, you'll find that they abandoned their project idea and are happy to let you use the material.
The Electronics Zone has an Electronics Store, at which you can puchase Electronic Components. Details in Electronics Room. Zone Wardens handle stocking Zone Stores.
If I want to donate tools, how do I do it?
Look at the Wish List for the appropriate Zone, like WoodShop. Find if your tool is on the wishlist. If yes, contact the Zone Warden. If it is a large or unusual piece which might not have been thought of before, ask the appropriate Zone Warden. If no Zone Warden seems appropriate, such as a Hydraulic Press, ask an Officer or Bard Member. If it is appropriate, please fill out a Donation Request Form.
Where is a member directory?
See the CRM.
Somebody left their briefcase, what do I do?
Post on i3detroit-public with a picture of it.
How can I pay my dues?
By Amazon. [GO HERE]. Or fill out a payment slip and envelope and put in the Black Box by Main Entrance.
How are events publicized?
See Communication
Pre-Member Questions
Q: Will you build this gizmo for me? A: No. We'll help you build it, but we're not a job shop. We're not an engineering firm. We're not a contract house. We're a club. You can be part of the club! You can use the group's tools, and toss ideas around with anyone who'll listen. (And maybe you could strike a side deal with an individual member, but that's beyond the scope of this document.)
Q: What are your hours? I stopped in the other day and nobody answered the door. A: We have no paid staff, and thus no regular business hours. Someday that may change, but for now, swing by when the Twitterbot says we're open, or during a scheduled event. Members have 24/7 card access.
Q: So I need to be a member to come in? A: Guests are welcome any time the Twitterbot says so. Stop in, flag down a member, sign a waiver, and take a tour. Then get to work on your project!
Q: Can I give you a pile of computer junk? A: Yeah, if it's not hazmat-nasty. Really, we've got all the computer junk we know what to do with, but we can schlep it to a recycler just as easily as you can. Optics junk, laser junk, and lab equipment junk, on the other hand! Now that might be interesting.
Q: Can you bring your Twinkie Car to an event? A: Perhaps. As with everything in the space, it's owned by an individual, specifically Nick Britsky, and you should talk directly to him about it.
I still have a question
If you can't find what you're looking for, please add your question to this list: Q: What about the Cupcake Car? A: It's gone, man. Just let it go.

Trading community commerce ideas with a Scottish visitor
SARANAC LAKE – Angus Robertson works in Sleat (pronounced "Slate") on the Isle of Skye, which is the largest and most northerly island in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland.
The island's peninsulas radiate from a mountainous center dominated by the Cullins, the rocky slopes of which provide some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in the country. It is one of the fastest growing rural areas of Scotland with extensive community and educational developments. Robertson is the manager of Sleat Community Trust.
"We have won the Queens Award for Voluntary Services for our work which includes the ownership and operation of a gas station with store and post office and 1,000-acre community forest," Robertson said.
The trust has undertaken steps to increase renewable energy projects with an aim to benefit its community. Current projects include a 25-year plan to harvest timber for pulp mills and wood fuel, assess options for a community wind turbine and measures to effect carbon reduction and energy efficiency.
This year Robertson was awarded a Winston Churchill Fellowship that is open to any UK resident.
"Upon Churchill's death a charity was set up in his name for the purpose of reaching out to learn from other cultures, organizations and countries," Robertson said. "There are 10 categories in areas such as medicine, science, penal reform, and my own category, communities that work."
Robertson recently made a side trip to the Saranac Lake Community Store while visiting all six New England states over six weeks.
How is it that you came to Saranac Lake and what do you think of the accomplishment of the Community Store in Saranac Lake?
Paul Bruhn of the Preservation Trust of Vermont is a key contact and had heard about the Community Store in Saranac Lake and also wished to visit. The opening of the Community Store is an awesome achievement, and I wish it great success in the future.
Do you find common areas of concern for economic development in the communities that you have visited and with the Isle of Skye?
Several common areas! Project funding, an aging population and folk from away that do not wish their holiday idyll changed by any economic development.
What are some of the sustainable projects that you have seen in your travels and that you have seen in Skye that could be adopted by each other?
The use of local produce and the great amount of choice is one area that we in Skye and the Highlands of Scotland in general could adopt. The Sleat Community Trust's ownership of forestry land to give a sustainable financial income has provoked a great deal of interest.
What do successful rural projects have in common?
Strong board of volunteers, one of whom has to have a good financial background. Great staff and a can-do attitude from the majority of the community.
What are some innovations in these communities, and are they coming from without or within?
Land assets are the big ticket in rural Scotland for communities at the moment. When you have control of land, or a built asset for that matter, the possibilities for economic development improve markedly. Saving key rural stores and services seems to be gathering pace in New England.
Have you seen necessity to be the mother of invention for economic growth in the communities that you have visited and in the Isle of Skye?
Absolutely. Our community has both grabbed and been presented with opportunities to save services and drive economic growth. There is an element of, when the chips are down, the community steps in, but this should only be done when the project has a sustainable future in economic, social and environmental terms.
What has been the main reason for the failure or success of rural retail?
Where the operator is being employed rather than being self-employed makes a huge difference. An individual working for themselves will try much harder to make things work. Marketing certainly isn't great in Scotland's rural areas, and extolling the virtues of local produce for local people would generate a better core customer base.
Is there a growth in Internet commerce in the rural communities to the detriment/benefit of rural retail?
Without doubt, but many areas on Skye still have a poor broadband speed and can't access the Internet. I do think that to compete more in rural areas, we have to embrace new technology and social media getting smarter at broadening our appeal outwith (without) both the holiday season and our own geographic boundaries.
Is there a return to older values in the communities? Are vocational skills and trades becoming more valued?
I certainly haven't seen this on Skye. There has been huge growth in cultural activities driven by the resurgence of the native Gaelic language and the rise of our local college SabhalMorOstaig (www.smo.uhi.ac.uk) in Sleat.
Do you foresee a migration of young people to rural areas because of a change in priorities?
Not really. Our area of migration growth seems to be well-off retirees escaping the cities, and this is a concern if this continues, as we won't have enough younger people to deliver the services that they will ultimately require.
Do you envision a growth in rural communities?
Yup, I think that people, especially the above demographic, wish to escape crowded cities with increasing crime and frenetic lifestyles for a quieter life in the country. There may be a smaller migration of younger people if broadband speeds improve.
As someone with a background in rural studies, what was your professional impression during your visit to Saranac Lake?
There was an excellent volunteer effort to get the funding over such a long period of time and to fight the big boxes out of town. There is a great management team in place in the shop, but I don't think huge profits are ever going to come flooding back in this type of store. But the service being provided is extremely important.
Did the communities that you visited and on the Isle of Skye depend upon volunteerism?
Very much so, although volunteer burn-out is common as it's the same faces who are involved in many projects. It is important to refresh boards as much as possible to bring in fresh thinking. We wouldn't have got to where we are today without the huge effort and dedication of countless volunteers.
How do communities promote activity-interest-responsiveness from its population?
Open meetings, events, our very popular free quarterly newsletter, online social networking, such as Facebook and targeted emails.
Would you have some advice to offer rural communities to promote sustainable growth?
Make sure you have a strong business plan for any project that you are taking on that isn't too optimistic, and control your finances accordingly. Don't be afraid to say no if the project doesn't stack up.
Have you come upon ideas that you will take back to the Isle of Skye?
Yes the promotion and use of local produce and the U.S. independent co-op retail model, such as the Community Store in Saranac Lake.

IPC Athletics announces plans to grow the sport post London 2012
BONN, Germany — IPC Athletics, the global governing body of para-athletics, has today outlined plans to stage a number of high profile events that will give athletes greater opportunities to compete against the world's best whilst also developing a framework of excellence in competition management.
In addition to recent announcements confirming the host cities of the next three World Championships through to 2017 and London's staging of the first International Paralympic Committee Athletics Marathon World Cup this April, IPC Athletics plans to stage six Grand Prix events this spring and summer.
The events will start in March with a three day meeting in Dubai, UAE, before heading to Beijing, China; Sao Paulo, Brazil; Grosseto Italy; Mesa, Ariz.; and Berlin, Germany.
The aim of the Grand Prix are to provide high level international competition, while supporting local organizing committees and providing pillars of excellence to support development in areas such as classification, education, research and anti-doping.
"This announcement is a direct legacy of London 2012 where the sport's profile was raised to astronomical levels," said Ed Warner, chair of the IPC Athletics Sport Technical Committee. "Over 1.1 million tickets were sold for the Olympic Stadium whilst many global broadcasters pulled in record audiences for track and field events.
"To build on this success IPC Athletics is keen to create more high profile competition opportunities over the coming years.
"We now have World Championships in place for 2013, 2015 and 2017 and the first IPC Athletics Marathon World Cup taking place this April to coincide with the Virgin London Marathon.
"This year's Grand Prix events are very much a trial and are designed to improve standards off the track first and then provide more competition opportunities for leading athletes later.
"Should the trial be successful then we will look at how we can expand these events in 2014 and beyond."
IPC Athletics' announcement for a more comprehensive and competitive international calendar has been welcomed by a number of the world's leading athletes.
Hannah Cockcroft, Great Britain's 100m and 200m Paralympic and World Champion, said: "The announcement that athletes are going to be getting more world-class events in the coming years is a very welcome one!
"I think the fear after London 2012 for the athletes was that there was going to be a limited amount of motivation over the next four years. However, the Grand Prix events and the World Championships will give us plenty of chances to become the best the world and keep the public interested in our training and achievements allowing us to retain an elite status".
World and regional Championships
After announcing earlier this month that Doha, Qatar will stage the 2015 IPC Athletics World Championships, IPC Athletics now has hosts in place for the next three World Championships through to 2017.
This July, Lyon, France will host over 1,300 athletes from 90 countries for the 2013 event, whilst London's Olympic Stadium has been confirmed for July 2017, a month before the same venue plays host to the 2017 IAAF World Athletics Championships.
In addition IPC Athletics also confirmed today that two cities have already submitted bids to stage the 2014 European Championship following the success of last June's event in the Netherlands which attracted 500 athletes from 40 countries.
"In addition to the Grand Prix events, the success of London 2012 has enabled us to confirm all our World Championships between now and 2017," Warner said. "Regional competitions are also falling into place too.
"In 2014 we will have the Asian Para Games in Korea as well as a European Championships. In 2015 we have the World Championships in Doha, the Parapan American Games will take place in Canada, whilst Congo stages the All African Games.
"Athletes now have a clear pathway of major international and regional events between now and Rio 2016 and beyond. These are great developments for the sport and we expect to make further announcements during the year."

IAJE Evening 1 - Ingrid Jensen and Nordic Connect
January 10, 2008. Posted by Joshua Jackson.Add new comment | Filed under: exercise machine, good intentions, IAJE 2008, improvisation, jazz, jensen family, lionel loueke, nordic track, oslo, Places and Spaces, scandinavian friends, sorts, trumpeter
Nordic Connect is not really an exercise machine. This is more a vehicle for improvisation. The Jensen Family Band, of sorts. With fellow Scandinavian friends.
I really wanted to see them, but Lionel Loueke's set started late, and finished even later. So the Nordic Connect show didn't happen for me. The road to Oslo was paved with good intentions...
However, I did interview trumpeter Ingrid Jensen, and we did talk about Nordic Connect. Have a listen:
Interview with Trumpeter Ingrid Jensen
Check out Nordic Connect on MySpace.
Ingrid is also a member of a Secret Society in jazz. More about that in another post. - Josh

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Castillo hit by the pitch
nasty pitch!
Schierholtz strikes out swinging. 2 Ks.
Castro lines out to 2nd. 2 outs.
Latos stuff is nasty tonight. 3 Ks. 0-0 after 2.
Latos definitely brought his 'A' game with him to Chicago. Let's hope the Reds' batters don't waste another terrific pitching performance.

Teaching to the Brain5/31/2008 09:30:00 am
I've long held a ravenous appetite for learning how the brain works and how those capacities can be leveraged to help kids (and me) learn. I recently bought the owners manual. A few days back Jeff Utecht tweeted about a Google Talk by John Medina, authour of the book Brain Rules. John is blogging and sharing some great stuff.
Garr Renolds adapted some of the Brain Rules for presentations. As I've blogged earlier presenting information is something teachers do every day and we need to learn a lot more about how to do it more effectively. So, for my own future reference, and yours if you like, here is John Medina's Google talk, Garr's presentation, and a seemingly unrelated presentation by Dean Shareski whose K12 Online presentation on Design Matters continues to push my thinking every day. Look at how this presentation of Dean's adheres to many of John Medina's Brain Rules; and Dean hasn't even read John's book yet.
In future posts I hope to share how what I'm learning from all this is making it's way into my classroom. I'd love to hear how others incorporate these ideas into their work as well; in education or elsewhere. When we share these ideas and applications, whether they work or not, it helps us all learn.
Dean referenced this video at the end of his presentation; it's well wortht the 4 minute look:

Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down
Good year for Progress
THUMBS UP: The Journal just published its Progress Edition on Friday, an issue where we look back on the year just past, and the year ahead to see what's going on.
Like every year, there are ups and downs, but usually more ups. It is always a bit surprising to see just how much does happen in town throughout the year.
This year we were pleased to see a number of advances in the industrial sector, where Palm?Beach Marinecraft, for example, has really turned things around, and is making and selling more boats. Parker-Hannifin has also been turning things up, especially in the manufacture of motors for electric vehicles.
New Ulm is blessed with a diverse collection of manufacturing businesses.
Worthy of study
THUMBS UP: It is kind of flattering when a professor of music from the University of Vienna comes to New Ulm to study our take on the German musical traditions.
This past week Dr. Rudolf Pietsch, who teaches in Austria at the renowned University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, and his student Marie Tress Stickler spent some time in the B&L?Bar listening to polkas and old-time music played in the New Ulm style. They are interested in how the musical traditions local settlers brought from Germany have developed over the years, no doubt comparing it to the musical styles played in other communities with German traditions, and in Germany itself.
We suppose anyone can study and write about Mozart in Vienna, but you have to come to New Ulm if you want to learn about Whoopee John or Fezz Fritsche.
Highway 14 bill
THUMBS UP: The Minnesota House Transportation Policy Committee set aside a bill this week to require the Highway 14 expansion to be included in the Minnesota Department of Transportation's 20 year plan. The bill, like its Senate companion, will be considered as part of the Omnibus Transportation Bill.
We're sure the Highway 14 Partnership will be keeping a close eye on this legislation, and we again encourage all area residents to contact legislators about the importance of this issue.


text: Family Guy is an American animated television series created by Seth MacFarlane for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series centers on the Griffins, a dysfunctional family consisting of parents Peter and Lois; their children Meg, Chris, and Stewie; and their anthropomorphic pet dog Brian. The show is set in the fictional city of Quahog, Rhode Island, and bases much of its humor on parodying American pop culture. The family was conceived by MacFarlane after developing two animated films, The Life of Larry and Larry and Steve. MacFarlane redesigned the films' protagonist Larry and his dog Steve, and renamed them Peter and Brian, respectively. MacFarlane pitched a 15 minute pilot to Fox which aired on December 20, 1998. After the pilot aired the show was given the green light and started production. Shortly after the third season of Family Guy aired in 2001, Fox canceled the series. However, favorable DVD sales and high ratings for syndicated reruns convinced the network to renew the show.

Delaware State Police Purchase Bell 429 Twosome
Bell Helicopter has received an order from Deleware State Police for two multi-mission configured Bell 429s that will join its aviation unit fleet. The two aircraft will carry out both airborne law enforcement and emergency medical services (EMS) operations. The state police unit selected the 429s based on the "combination of speed, power, performance and working volume," according to Delaware State Police Superintendent Nathaniel McQueen Jr.

이 제품도 엄청 비싼데 비싼만큼의 값을 못하는듯 한 통 꾸준히 다 먹었지만 장이 편안해졌는지 별로 체감하지 못했어요
Jury is Out
Posted by Reviewer1985332 on Feb 20, 2009
I ordered these because I live overseas and iHerb suggested they held up better in shipping. Unfortunately, I need to take them before meals on an empty stomach and so forget to take them on a regular basis.
Jury still out
Posted by Reviewer2689719 on Jul 13, 2008
I don't really notice a difference in my body. It could be I'm taking enzymes too. Will probably try another month and then take a few months off. Then I'll be able to see how my body responds.
Good product
Posted by Reviewer1727480 on Oct 23, 2007
Both my husband and me have been taking this products for a couple of months and so far we haven't got sick, although we are in pretty good shape and eat well, exercise.
must take a lot
Posted by Reviewer2801761 on Nov 17, 2007
This product works well ,but you must take a lot of it.It would be nice if the tablets we're larger and more potent
not bad
Posted by Reviewer2945285 on Feb 10, 2008
but not as good as the 5 year old they make, but you do not sell!
It works!
Posted by Reviewer3187405 on Mar 12, 2008
This is one of the best probitotic supplements! You may have to take a good quantity of them at first if your pretty bad off intestinal health wise, but it's worth it!
Good product, hard to find
Posted by Reviewer2694630 on Jul 02, 2010
This is a very good probiotic, It's convinient, does not need refridgeration (good for travelling) it's just the right dose for maintaining good flora. However, some may find it a little pricey - as I did. However, this probiotic is unique so perhaps it it's priced fairly. I like the formulation and I take it when I have an upset stomach.

Roasted Pork Enchiladas
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup Salsa Verde
- Salt and pepper
- 1 recipe Roasted Pork and Caramelized Onion filling, recipe follows
- 12 corn tortillas
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 pound queso Fresco cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- Roasted Pork and Caramelized Onion Filling:
- 1 (5 to 5 1/2 pound) pork butt, bone in, untrimmed
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup canned chopped green chilies
- 1/2 pound queso Fresco cheese or any meltable white cheese, such as Monterey Jack
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a large rectangle oven-proof pan with the oil.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken stock, sour cream and salsa. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well. Spread 1 cup of the mixture over the bottom of the prepared pan. Spread 1/4 cup of the filling over 1/4 of each tortilla. Roll the tortillas up firmly. Place the tortillas, seam side down, next to each other in the prepared pan. Spread the remaining sour cream mixture over the rolled tortillas. Cover the pan with parchment paper and aluminum foil. Place in the oven and cook for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to cook for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool slightly before serving.
Place 2 of the enchiladas in the center of each serving plate. Spoon some of the pan sauce over the top of the enchiladas. Crumble the cheese over the top. Garnish with the cilantro. Serve warm.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Season the pork with salt and pepper. Place in a medium roasting pan and add 1/2 cup of water. Place in the oven and roast for 1 hour. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and continue to cook for 3 hours. Remove from the oven and cool completely. In a large saute pan, over medium heat, add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions. Season with salt and pepper. Saute until the onions are caramelized, about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and cool completely. When the pork is cool, remove any excess fat and the bone. Shred the meat into bite-size pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine the pork, onions, chilies and cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Yield: about 3 1/2 cups

Top 10 Places to Buy a Used Car
Depending on where you live, the price of a used car on a dealer's lot or even in a listing on Craigslist can be considerably more than what someone on the other side of the country is paying. Supply, demand and the general economy of the surrounding area mean there might be better deals just a few towns away or across the state border.
"Prices can vary substantially from city to city, and depending on where you live, it may pay to look beyond your ZIP code to find greater savings," said Langley Steinert, founder and chief executive of used car pricing site CarGurus.
New car sales jumped 13.4% last year as Americans made their way back onto dealer lots. Still, they did so reluctantly; automotive data service revealed last year that the average age of cars and light trucks on U.S. roads is roughly 11 years. That's up from 8.9 years a decade ago and 9.8 as recently as 2007. New car sales slumped during the 2008 and 2009 recession years as U.S. drivers squeezed as much mileage out of their old cars as possible.
By holding onto their used cars, consumers threw off a very delicate balance and decimated used car supplies. According to Manheim Consulting 's Used Vehicle Value Index , used car prices actually fell 0.8% last year, but jolted up 1.2% in December as Superstorm Sandy reduced an already small supply. Dwindling new car inventory and used car lots already emptied of 2- and 3-year-old vehicles are keeping prices high as sales rose 5% in 2012 and more than 10% from 2010.
That makes even the most utilitarian and undesirable used vehicles a popular commodity these days. Manheim found that owners looking to sell their old Toyota (TM) Camry, Honda (HMC) Accord or Ford (F) Fusion will make an average 2% more on the deal than they would have last December Even used pickups and vans have benefited, with demand accelerating 2.6% and 0.2% respectively within the past year.
That said, there are still some places where a used car is a great deal. CarGurus, for instance, used its Instant Market Value algorithm to determine used car values in 139 metro and rural areas across the country. It ranked the largest metro areas in the contiguous United States according to how prices in that market compare with the nationwide average.
According to their findings, a car buyer paying 0.4% more than the national average for a car in Harrisburg, Pa., would be best served driving an hour and a half or so to Allentown and paying 1.8% less than that average or making the two-hour trip to Scranton for a 2.5% discount from what the rest of the country is paying. Don't like getting gouged 2.8% above the national average in Indianapolis? A less than two-hour trip to Dayton, Ohio, will get you get you a slightly better deal at 0.6% less than average.

Topic: Bypass password validations if current user is admin
Okay let's say the current_user is an admin and they're doing something with somebody's profile. Currently they would have to type in that users password, to get anything to submit.
Instead I would like an admin to be able to edit anyones info without the need to type their password.
PS: This is so that an admin can goto someone's profile and make them an admin.
I tried this
# app/models/user.rb
validations :password, presence: true, unless: Proc.new { |user| user.admin? }
But instead of checking if the current user is an admin, it checks the user being edited.

In a previous thread, someone wrote: "While debating with a theist can be as invigorating as playing chess, one should bear in mind that it's doing them harm. It's driving them deeper into their psychosis."
This is simply not true, and yet it's unfortunately a very common meme among the "Don't be a dick" crowd. As a counterpoint, I'd like to share a letter we received a few months ago. I don't post stuff like this often, as it would come across as too self-congratulatory, but I do want to remind everyone that people sometimes change their minds.
For context: This guy originally wrote to us in January. He wrote that seeing the show was causing serious doubts in his own Christian beliefs. He then went on to say:
I was wondering, if there is no higher power, how you would justify morality in an atheist at all? Please don't misunderstand, as a young person on the verge of apostasy, I'm not saying that atheists have no morals, although I have met 'christians' who have claimed as much. After all, if there is no higher power, then there is no objective truth, ergo no objective morality, meaning all morality is subjective. If that is the case, then to say that a murderer is immoral is surely a fallacy, as he no doubt acted as his morals saw fit. If morality is subjective, then he is as moral for acting out the murder he saw as moral as you are for not acting out a murder you saw as immoral.
I wrote back and we discussed the morality issue for a while. The angle I took on this was the Euthyphro Dilemma, though I usually don't refer to it by name. I like to explore the concept that a God-given morality is somehow objective in a way that human consensus-derived morality is not. In the course of three more exchanges between us, and some messages from Tracie thrown in, we discussed slavery; we discussed the story of Jephthah; we talked about what kind of commands God could issue that would be considered by this person to be immoral.
After a while he said that they were hard questions but he still felt like there must be a god. The conversation petered out.
In September I received this:
Hi, Mr. Glasser,
I doubt you remember me, but we had a discussion about religion and so on just under a year ago. I have since become an atheist and I thought I'd drop you an e-mail to thank you. The video I e-mailed about in the first place was the first real faith-shaking material I had come into contact with, and from there I kept investigating my religion scientifically, historically and morally. Obviously, I found it wanting and, as I said earlier, have since renounced it. I thought I'd let you know a few of the final arguments in convincing me that the bible, at least, is wrong, not really in case you hadn't heard them (I'm sure you have), but rather because, since our discussion must have been frustrating for you, I'd like you to know. One is that the God of the bible forced us into sin, and therefore knowingly and willingly condemned literally billions of people to hell by creating the Eden situation in the first place, for he knew what would happen but did nothing to change it. This is an act of incredible cruelty, and is unjustifiable, giving trouble even to my own father (a minister). That's a moral argument, I suppose, but also shows a biblical contradiction (if God is all loving and unchanging then this act (among dozens of notable others) should be impossible). The second is the fallibility of the bible. I wonder if you knew that Luke, in his gospel, lists 28 generations between Joseph, Jesus' father, and David, whereas Matthew gives 41. On top of that, the census Luke wrote about never happened, and the local census upon which it may have been based happened long after Herod's death.
Those are just a few, but anyway, thanks again for showing me another way of thinking, and it's thanks in part to you guys and what you're doing that I am being fascinated and amazed every day by the way that the world works without resorting to the 'Don't ask questions, God did it' train of thought.
So. I have been asked, on a few occasions, whether arguing with people about atheism ever changes people's minds. My answer is always "Very rarely, and the changes are usually minor but positive." This is what I would consider a happy exception.

Medford Man Indicted In Teen's Death After Inhaling Helium
A 32-year-old Medford man has been indicted on a negligent homicide charge in the death of a 14-year-old Eagle Point girl who died after inhaling helium at party.
Richard Ward Mowery is accused of encouraging Ashley Long and
other teens to inhale from the tank to make their voices sound
funny. He was arrested Tuesday at his home.
The Mail Tribune reports the eighth-grader collapsed at the party in February and died of an air embolism that blocked a blood vessel.
The party was held at the apartment of an older sister of one of
the teens. That woman, 27-year-old Katherine Diane McAloon, was
indicted on charges of delivering alcohol and marijuana to minors.

be hungry and not able to eat or stuffed-full and have to keep eating?
and thanks for asking for the recipe for my zucchini lasagna!
I'm more than happy to give it to you...
as long as you realize I made it up as I went along...
this morning
anyway, I love it and eat it all the time so here you go!
zucchini lasagna
a simple and rather versatile recipe that I have made like six times in the past month or so
[inspired by this]
you need:
a medium-sized zucchini
tomato sauce/pasta sauce/pizza sauce
cottage cheese [half a cupish]
one egg
garlic salt/garlic and salt
broccoli [a cup or twoish]
grated cheese [however much you like]
slice the zucchini as thinly as you can
mix egg and cottage cheese in a bowl with garlic salt
cut the broccoli into small pieces
layer the zucchini slices in the bottom of a glass dish
try to cover the entire bottom of the dish with the zucchini
pour your tomatoey sauce to cover the zucchini
make a layer over the sauce with your cottage cheese-egg mixture
make a layer over that with the broccoli
if you have a lot of the tomato sauce, pour that over the broccoli
if not, don't worry about it
layer the rest of the zucchini slices to cover the top like a pie
pour tomatoey sauce over that
with garlic salt
and the cheese of your choice
bake in a 350degree oven for...a good while
40 minutes or so
I gave you the recipe the way I like it best,
