Children's products that are designed or intended primarily for use by children ages 12 or younger must have distinguishing permanent marks (generally referred to as "tracking labels") that are
If you make a durable infant or toddler product, you have additional product registration card and packaging requirements found on those pages.
ALL tracking labels must contain certain basic information, including:
All tracking label information should be visible and legible.
Compliance with the tracking label requirement will help improve the effectiveness and response rates for future recalls. It also helps CPSC staff and companies in the chain of commerce. When a component has been identified as the source of a hazard or violation, the tracking label helps identify other products that may contain the same component.
The U.S. manufacturer for products manufactured domestically and the importer for products manufactured overseas.
You can find the law in section 14(a)(5) of the Consumer Product Safety Act, 15 U.S.C. §2063(a)(5) (CPSA). (The requirement was originally part of section 103 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) (Public Law 110-314).)
The Commission has also published a statement of policy on this requirement.
"Tracking label" is a shorthand term used in place of the phrase "distinguishing permanent marks" found in section 14(a)(5) of the CPSA. Manufacturers should not interpret "label" to mean that all of the information has to be printed in one discrete location or label. If a product already has some or all of the required information, manufacturers need not duplicate existing marks onto a new "label" and the additional required "distinguishing permanent marks" may be added to an existing label.
For example, the Commission believes that required information, already marked permanently on the product to brand it or otherwise comply with other Commission or federal regulations, such as those promulgated under the Textile, Wool and Fur Acts or country of origin labeling rules, could be considered part of the "distinguishing marks" called for by section 14(a)(5) of the CPSA. The Registered Identification Number (RN) required by the Federal Trade Commission under the Textile, Wool and Fur Acts, however, does not, on its own, satisfy this requirement.
Any markings that a manufacturer relies upon would have to be permanent, and the product would still need to meet all of the requirements set forth in section 14(a)(5) of the CPSA.
The tracking label must contain information that will enable the manufacturer and ultimate purchaser to determine the manufacturer or private labeler, the location and date of production of the product, the cohort information (such as the batch, run number, or other identifying characteristic), and any other information determined by the manufacturer to help determine the specific source of the product.
Yes. The tracking label must contain information that will allow the ultimate purchaser to determine the manufacturer or private labeler, location and date of production of the product, and cohort information (including the batch, run number, or other identifying characteristic.)
Products may not always be made in a single day. Therefore, the date of production could be a range of dates if the product is made over a period of time. When the product is a group of disparate components or items assembled together or gathered into one package, the Commission interprets the date of manufacture to mean the date of assembly or placement into one package.
The names of the country and the city where the product was manufactured are sufficient to provide the location of production. However, the manufacturer is always responsible for identifying the specific source of the product in the event of a compliance inquiry or other Commission action.
Congress modified the requirement for tracking labels with the phrase "to the extent practicable," recognizing that it may not be practical for permanent distinguishing marks to be printed on small toys and other small products that are manufactured and shipped without individual packaging. In those situations, the package or carton in which the products are shipped to the retailer should be marked.
The Commission, in its statement of policy, stated that the Commission expects a manufacturer to depart from the specific requirements only for considered and definable reasons.
Each manufacturer is responsible for making a reasonable judgment about which of the required information can be marked on their product and packaging, given the character and type of their product and packaging. When considering the reasonableness of a manufacturer's decision regarding what information to include in its markings, the Commission intends to look at the individual manufacturer's situation, along with the practices of peer manufacturers. If a manufacturer makes a determination that it is not practicable to mark the product or its packaging, the manufacturer should make a written record of the reasons on which it based its decision, including copies of any research conducted into the practices of peer manufacturers and other information about its product, which factored into the manufacturer's decision.
Remember that the tracking label is required for both the product and its packaging. While it may not be practicable to affix the tracking label to the product, it may still be practicable to affix the tracking label information to the product's packaging.
The Commission has not provided specifications or drafted a sample tracking label because each type of consumer product may warrant a different type of tracking label. If you are a manufacturer, importer, or private labeler, and have satisfied all of the requirements in section 14(a)(5) of the CPSA, you have satisfied the legal requirement.
Yes, provided the name of a manufacturer, importer, or private labeler is also identified so a consumer without access to the internet can know whom to contact directly to also obtain the required information.
The Commission considers a "permanent" mark on a product to be a mark that can reasonably be expected to remain on the product during the useful life of the product.
A mark on disposable packaging need only be permanent to the extent that it is durable enough to reach the consumer. As such, an adhesive label on a piece of disposable packaging might be sufficient for a packaging mark. Further, if a mark is visible on the product through disposable packaging, there is no need for the mark to be on the packaging.
The Commission is aware that some voluntary standards have provisions concerning the permanency of labels. Such standards may provide some guidance to manufacturers when determining whether a marking is permanent.
In most instances, both the packaging and the product must be marked. However, the statute recognizes that this might not always be practicable. Some circumstances the Commission agrees might not be practicable for marking a product include:
If a product is too small to be marked; the law's legislative history recognizes that a product's size is a primary consideration in determining if marking only the packaging is feasible.
If a toy is meant to be stored in a box or other packaging, such as games with boards and small game pieces; the board and the box should be marked in this instance; but the individual game pieces do not need to be marked. This principle would apply similarly to arts and crafts kits for children. Again, only the storage box and one integral part of the kit need to marked; and not every item in the crafting kit needs to be marked. Where a number of small products, such as marbles, buttons, and beads are packaged together, the Commission believes that marking the package would be sufficient. For products that are meant to stay with or be contained in their original packaging, the packaging would be considered part of the "product."
If a product is sold through a bulk vending machine, the item does not need to be individually marked, but the package or carton in which such products are shipped to the retailer should be marked.
If a physical mark would weaken or damage the product or impair its utility, the item does not need to be individually marked.
If a product surface would be impossible to mark permanently, such as products made of elastics, beads, small pieces of fabric (e.g., jewelry, hair ornaments), or craft items like pipe stems or natural rocks.
If the aesthetics of the product would be ruined by a mark, and a mark cannot be placed in an accessible but inconspicuous location, then the item does not need to be individually marked.
For items meant to be sold as sets or pairs and that function only as sets or pairs, only one item of the pair, or an integral part of the set, would need to be marked. Shoes are an example.
Remember that even if the product does not need to be marked based on the examples above, the product's packaging must still be marked.
Yes, if certain conditions are met. The label must be permanent in that it should maintain its integrity throughout the expected lifespan of the children's product. A mark on disposable packaging need only be permanent to the extent that it is durable enough to reach the consumer. As such, an adhesive label on a piece of disposable packaging might be sufficient as a packaging mark.
No. The law requires that markings with the specified information be permanent. Hangtags and adhesive labels are not permanent. Labels for textiles must be durable enough to last for the anticipated lifespan of the product if consumers follow the care and handling instructions.
You must comply with this requirement because the law does not provide exemptions or exceptions for this requirement based on the size of the business.
However, when considering your obligations, you should review the following:
What kind of tracking system do you currently use? You do not necessarily have to create a new system of lot, batch, or run numbers to identify when you made your products. However, your products and their packaging should identify your company in sufficient detail to enable a consumer to reach you so that the required information may be determined.
What information can be determined about your product? If someone handed you one of your products sold last year, what would you be able to tell them about the materials used? You must keep records, including your receipts and purchase orders, because they will help you identify the source of your product and its components and when you began using them.
How is your product marked? If someone had one of your products sold last year, would they know who to call if there was a problem? Absent any unusual circumstances, your business name should be on your product with sufficient detail to enable a consumer to reach you. Congress recognized that there could be instances in which marking a product might not be practicable, such as a product that is very small. Consider the examples, outlined above, in which it might not be practicable to mark a product.
How is your packaging marked? Could a retailer of your product see from the packaging (or from the product, if the product marking is still fully visible) information that would enable them in the event of a recall to take just your products from the shelf?
Compliance with the new requirements will require a number of small hand crafters to rethink the way they maintain their records and mark their products.
Congress recognized that it might not be practicable to mark every part of a child's game that has a board and small game pieces. It may be unnecessary to mark all 20 of the blocks in each of your sets. Depending on the nature of your blocks, it might be reasonable to mark one side of one block. If the blocks come with a reusable storage box or bag, that container is considered part of the product and must bear the required information.
No. The reasonableness of attaching a label to hosiery has already been thoroughly considered in the application of the federal Care Labeling rules. Those rules can be a guide to what is practicable in this case. The outer packaging must bear the required information.
Yes, you must have tracking labels for all products if the product is designed and primarily intended for children 12 years of age or younger. In a children's furniture set, there must be a tracking label affixed to each item of furniture included within the set.

A little sweet&sour taste on this. But its healthy and thats good. Will by it again.
Good taste

Haven't used this yet, just tasted it, but the taste is good! Not as thick as regular syrup, but tastier.
Karamell, mm..

Endelig en syrup jeg kan spise, som i tillegg smaker himmelsk!
Very nice!

I recommend this, it´s a good product.
Posted by Reviewer2728813 on Jul 25, 2011
Good product, ok taste. Not as yummi as agave,but much healthier.
Liked it, but...
Posted by Reviewer3229124 on Jun 10, 2011
...it doesn't get top score. I reacted especially to that the serving size was not measured in grams. This is unpractical as there are different sized tablespoons to be bought. I quite enjoyed the caramell-ish taste to it, though:)
A bit thin
Posted by Reviewer1154704 on Jun 10, 2011
This syrup is fine for baking and I like the molasses taste, but I won't buy it again because it takes more yacon syrup than honey in my power bars or granola to hold the ingredients together. Honey is much cheaper and I use so little of it that I really don't notice an effect on my blood sugar anyways.
Tastes Great
Posted by Reviewer2837354 on Nov 05, 2010
It's a cross between honey and syrup. It tastes great in tea or in recipes. It does have natural sugar, but "they" say it's not glycemic.
Good stuff but too small
Posted by jayzou on Nov 05, 2010
It's an acquired taste but overall I am satisfied. I just wish that the jar was a little bigger for the price you have to pay.
Organic Yacon Syrup
Posted by Reviewer2083051 on Nov 06, 2010
It is not quite like the original test, but for me its good. I have used it several times with a good result.

Results tagged "The Tyger" from critical difference
It was the kind of spring day, sun-kissed and warm, when frigid winter seemed vanquished, yet the fetid New York City summer felt safely far off. Flowers were bursting out, early, all over town.
As frequently happens when hibernation comes to an end, a craving to eat something healthy and green developed. Off I went then, down West 13th Street to Integral Yoga Natural Foods, with no suspicion that poetry was waiting to ambush me.
But there beneath the strawberries, just above the honey tangerines, dangled a text as romantic as the day: William Blake's "The Tyger," printed and laminated like the signs around it, and spattered with water droplets from the automatic misters.
Verse, lurking amid the greenery! As a spirit-lifting surprise, it was astonishingly potent. Curious and smiling, I accosted the first employee I saw, in a neighboring aisle, to ask what it was doing there. The man said he didn't know; he hadn't seen it yet, but he guessed his boss had put it up: a variation on the cartoon characters that sometimes decorate notices there. A couple of minutes later, he walked over to read it. "William Blake," he murmured, though the sign didn't say so.
I wandered off, cheerful, and burbled to the cashier that there was poetry in the produce section. "Does it have something to do with produce?" she asked. A reasonable question. That the answer is no -- that the poem is simply there, not there to sell us blueberries -- has nearly everything to do with its power to jolt us gently into joy.

Topic: Unit Test Scaffolding (CRUD / Validation) Generator
I hate testing so I've been working a simple generatorthat will automatically create a MODELNAME_autotest.rb so all you have to do is fill in a few hashes with @stored_values, @new_values, @updated_values (as well as some validation test arrays and the testing is done for you.
Before I get too far with it I'd like to see if there's something already out there. I've seen ZenTest but still from the site and articles don't have a clear idea what it does. It seems to be a lot more than what I'm shooting for.
I basically want to take the busy work out of creating Unit tests (and perhaps functional tests) by autogenerating them and just filling in the test data.

The article about Adland in Dagens Industri (a.k.a Sweden's pink paper) today focuses on the "Chinagate" affair. "Death threats from angry readers commonplace for Ad-blogger" reads the headline.
For those of you who missed it, the posts about the Swedish Red Cross Youth human rights campaign drew a lot of attention. One adgrunt, whole9yards, spotted that some photographs in the campaign depict police in Nepal rather than China - see Red Cross (Youth) pulls "Olympic" human rights campaign in Sweden - and voiced his concerns about this. Other commentators attracted to the posts weren't anywhere near as decent and well articulated as he was, and soon the comments became a regular flame-fest. What you see on here the site is not everything that was posted, since most of the comments were flagged as spam by the automatic spamtrap, but it will give you a general idea of what was being said. Emails directed to me personally were a hundred times worse, and it culminated in late night phone calls and even death threats if I did not remove the campaign and apologize for its existence. Not to mention the DOS-attacks, spambombings and google-bombings attempting to link Adland with the word prostitute. A few events were serious enough to warrant a call to the police. The Swedish Youth Red cross have had to endure the same, and several facebook groups were started rallying people to join in the hate for them.
For the record, I never remove campaigns submitted unless the creators of said campaign asks me to.
Links on anti-cnn regarding that campaign can be seen here: 瑞典青年红十字会借西藏炮制辱奥广告 and Unbelievable: The Red Cross——Hypocritical and misleading !.
Resume.se also had an article a few weeks ago about the threats I've received for publishing that campaign (and the note that the campaign was pulled). See : Adlands grundare hotas för OS-kritisk reklam. The anti-cnn sajt is created by students to expose what they call "Western Goebbels' Nazi media" - that is, Western media's biased coverage of unrest in Tibet. See news.com Australia: Chinese students launch 'Anti-CNN' website
You're famous!
What's a pink paper? Are they homosexuals?
Why were people posting pictures from Iraq on a post about Tibet and a Swedish ad campaign?
I made the same leap of logic: pink = gay. Don't think I ever heard the FT described as a pink paper. Although, technically, it is.
Apologies for any typos. I stepped on my glasses last night. My monitor is at arm's length, which puts it firmly in the blur zone.
Oh, much better at 200% zoom. Still blurry, but readable.
Holy shit death threats? Late night phonecalls? For publishing news about an ad campaign? That's beyond fucked up.
Why aren't other adbloggers rallying in your defense? Seriously death threats?
nice tie
Nevermind just adbloggers - ALL bloggers (and papers) should care about this.
If Dabitch has to endure hacktivism and death threats for simply reporting on an ad campaigns existence, imagine what reporters who write about China have to go through. Fucked up.
Yeah! They used the wind-swept photo!
It is a great photo of you!
Yeah, as someone who only commented on the piece here, I got a fair share of crap thrown my way, but no death threats.
Weirdly, I put across a measured argument to and the others that constantly hounded me for a week, and they seemed to back off. Seems they considered Dabitch an easier target. How silly of them, I'm much easier to put off!

No wonder Restaurant Haerlin is the flagship of the four restaurants at Fairmont Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten; its reputation and tradition are still as strong as ever. This is a gourmet restaurant of the highest calibre – offering an elegant ambience, exquisite tableware, fine porcelain, silver cutlery and impeccable service. Top chef Christoph Rüffer's quiet nature and typical Hanseatic reserve are reflected in his clear, accented, concentrated dishes.
At Sabai gourmet restaurant, head chef Ramon Wichert presents the best of both worlds: European haute cuisine combined with fine, Far Eastern accents, then paired with rare gems from the wine cellar. Sabai's restrained, sophisticated interior allows the wonderful food to shine, soft lighting creates a magical ambience, and romantic views of the water and historical Heiligengeist bridge make the evening pleasurable in every way.
Memory gourmet restaurant is in the Hamburg district of Sülldorf, near the Blankenese 'stairway quarter' and Süllberg hill, not far from the Elbe. Top chef Heiko Hagemann delights his guests with refined interpretations of classic modern cuisine. As well as classic choices, there are seasonal, themed menus with perfectly matched wines from regional vineyards. The sophisticated atmosphere is perfect for business meals, events or a delightful family meal.
Anna Sgroi's trademarks are the simplicity and clarity of her compositions, which concentrate on the essential flavours of first-class ingredients. The Italian creates modern, finely nuanced and honed interpretations of the culinary traditions from back home. Located at the heart of Pöseldorf near the Outer Alster lake, Restaurant Sgroi harmoniously combines timber-framed architecture and a mediterranean atmosphere, which you can best enjoy from the terrace.
Regional and international dishes of fresh fish and seafood form the basis of his menu. The cruise atmosphere comes free with the restaurant's panoramic setting beside the Elbe, immediately behind the anchored cruise ships, and in summer can be enjoyed from the large outdoor terrace.
Thanks to Michelin-starred chef Thomas Martin, his contemporary, light, fresh cuisine and an expertly put-together wine cellar, Jacobs Restaurant has been one of Hamburg's best gourmet destinations for many years. It offers unforgettable gastronomic experiences, as well as cookery courses, with magnificent views of the Elbe, large murals and heavy crystal chandeliers all adding to the sense of luxury. In fine weather, meals are served on the famous Lindenterrasse.
The Seven Seas gourmet restaurant is at the heart of the Süllberg ensemble. In an elegant ambience, Karlheinz Hauser offers excellent, classic French gourmet compositions with surprising inspirations from the seven seas. Diners can enjoy dramatic views of the Elbe through the angled windows or from the terrace. The Seaside Lounge on the Süllberg's highest terrace is one of the best viewpoints in Hamburg.
Fine dining is the new money: the former Hamburg Hypothekenbank banking hall still buzzes, but not about the gold price and the bank rate. Nowadays, diners flock here to savour gastronomic gems and enjoy the period ambience that blends elegance with authenticity. Thomas Fischer enthrals his guests with a masterful mix of traditional and modern cooking, with the focus firmly on the ingredients.
This small family-run restaurant is situated in the pretty Hamburg district of Eppendorf where it enchants diners with its relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Executive chef Wahabi Nouri combines his passion for travel with his flair for haute cuisine. His style of cooking has its roots in classic French cuisine, but with a Moroccan twist. Nouri's distinctive repertoire also includes purely Moroccan dishes, which can be requested in advance.

About the Author: Sharon Hudson-Dean serves as the press attache at U.S. Embassy Pretoria.
I kid you not -- someone was walking around my neighborhood in Pretoria at 6 a.m., blowing a vuvuzela for an hour. It was a very chilly, misty morning, and even though it was early, it was the most wonderful, exciting sound and giving me goosebumps all over. Then, I turned on radio 702, Joburg's popular talk radio station, and instead of their usual "xx days to kick off" intro, they blasted Shakira's Waka Waka. Today is the day.
Last night's big concert in Soweto (yes, the same stadium that hosted all those white rugby fans for a great championship game two weeks ago) was a packed, exuberant celebration of the World Cup. Some criticized the line-up for not being African enough, but instead, it was really reflective of the mix of soccer fans that are here now. Watching kwaito, jazz, hip hop, Latin, R&B and indie rock music flow together onstage was, not wanting to be too cute, like the colors of the South African flag. It was really different; it was certainly colorful; and it was uniquely South African. I watched it on TV, but my friend who runs the Joburg bureau of one of the big wire services, called me from the concert and said the vibe was fantastic.
This is truly a great day to be in South Africa. And our Vice President, his wife, his daughter Ashley and son Hunter, and one soccer-crazy grandkid, Maizy, are here to see it. Which is apt -- this is really a family celebration. The focus is on the sport and in many ways, sharing the sport among all ages. A lot has been done in advance of the Cup to bring the game and all of the life skills associated with it, like teamwork, healthy lifestyles, and hard work, to the children of South Africa and the rest of the continent.
Dr. Jill Biden did her part yesterday when she delivered soccer balls to kids in Soweto at the Mapetla Day Care Centre. With funding from the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), Mapetla provides care and early education for 102 orphans and vulnerable children, including life skills development, and preparation for primary school. During the visit, Dr. Biden noted how wonderful it was to see the results of part of her husband's Senate work, which is funded by American taxpayers. She noted, "If it wasn't for this Center, these kids would have no place to go." Which is no exaggeration. One of the mothers there commented that without the center, she could not work or else would have to leave her child in their township shack unattended. Neither option is acceptable in a place where over two million crimes were recorded by the police in 2009, and sexual offenses rose 12 percent over the year before.
But the real highlight of the visit for the kids was Kami, the HIV-positive muppet from Takalani Sesame, South Africa's version of Sesame Street. Together, Dr. Biden and Kami handed out the soccer balls in celebration of South Africa hosting the first World Cup on the African continent. Kami is one of the greatest TV characters ever created for kids in this country. In 2002, Sesame Workshop introduced Kami, an HIV-positive character to Takalani Sesame, the USAID-funded South African version of the show. The name Kami comes from the Setswana word Kamogelo, which means 'acceptance' or 'welcome.' She is a furry yellow five-year-old HIV-positive girl muppet who always has the sniffles. Kami's mother died of HIV/AIDS, and she got HIV from a transfusion of tainted blood she received as an infant. The brilliance of Kami is that she shows little kids here how to deal with loss and sad feelings in a way that three to seven-year-olds can understand.
Watching those children smile at Kami and hold new soccer balls is a great inspiration for overcoming tremendous suffering. And, hopefully today, an inspirational first game (and victory by Bafana?) will make those same kids spend this weekend and many more to come running around a soccer field, getting strong and learning how to work with their friends to get the ball in the goal.

I swear, it's a solid rule that if I put on weird makeup and set up lights and shit, that one of my roommates will 100% come home early. Both work regular schedules. Neither ever come home early. And yet, twice I've done this, and BOTH TIMES someone comes home early and I run and scramble as to not look like a weirdo!

About the Author: Kim D'Auria-Vazira serves on the Population Team in the Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration
If you screen it, will they come?
Women living in conflict-affected settings face dire consequences every day when they don't have access to critical reproductive health care and services. If policy makers and relief organizations better understood this essential need, would they do more about it?
This was our hope last week. Assistant Secretary of State for Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) Eric Schwartz hosted a screening of the film, Grace Under Fire, which followed Dr. Grace Kodindo, an obstetrician from Chad, as she visited North Kivu in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to document the urgent sexual and reproductive health needs of conflict-affected populations. Under Secretary for Democracy and Global Affairs Maria Otero delivered opening remarks. Following the film screening, Susan Reichle, Senior Deputy Assistant Administrator for USAID's Democracy, Conflict and Humanitarian Assistance Office, shared information about the need to better integrate reproductive health in crisis planning "so that it's not an afterthought." Finally, the highlight of the event was a panel discussion chaired by Assistant Secretary Schwartz with Dr. Kodindo and other subject matter experts to examine the factors that complicate the provision of these essential services.
In his remarks, Assistant Secretary Schwartz said that the United States is communicating within our own government and with our international partners that sexual and reproductive health care are frontline priorities in complex emergency settings, to be included along with other life-saving interventions in emergencies, such water and sanitation, shelter and nutrition. He opened the discussion by asking the panelists and the audience both "Are we doing enough?" and "What more should be done, and can be done to address the consequences of the lack of access to reproductive health services in conflict- affected areas?" Dr. Kodindo spoke compellingly about the realities of motherhood, reproductive health and family well-being in war-torn settings -- her compassion as she travelled around the Congo and interviewed survivors of rape and war was deeply moving and humbling. The film brought to life how sexual violence and the use of rape as a tool of conflict are terribly effective at demoralizing and debilitating individuals, families, and communities.
Two local representatives from international NGO-supported projects joined the panel. Dr. Boubacar Toure from the DRC and Clarence Massequoi from Liberia shared insights into which humanitarian responses work best (community based interventions with strong local involvement) and which do not (those that don't incorporate international service standards).
The Chief of the UN Population Fund's (UNFPA) Washington Office, Sarah Craven, gave her perspective as a representative of an international organization that works with donors and policy makers, and knows too well the obstacles and gaps created by bureaucracies and the logistical challenges of meeting reproductive health needs in conflict-affected settings.
The auditorium was full of colleagues from the State Department, USAID, NGOs, universities and the private sector, and the event left a strong impression on everyone in the audience. Seeing Grace Under Fire and meeting Dr. Kodindo encouraged us all to renew our commitment to raising awareness about the lack of reproductive health in crisis settings -- and to work together to implement more effective strategies to address the gaps in our efforts to provide reproductive health care in conflict-affected and humanitarian settings once and for all.

Ketteringĺs Conflict Management
Program Promotes Tolerance and Respect for Diversity
The City of Kettering covers an area of approximately 18.4 miles and has a population of 61,000. The police department has 106 employees and is accredited by CALEA (since 1987) and the ACA.
Community oriented policing is the mainstay of business within the police department. All programs are geared toward community involvement, interaction and accountability. Working with the community, the police department has been instrumental in starting and participating in programs that address the needs of cultural diversity and tolerance by everyone. All police employees receive training in diversity and understand the special needs of particular groups. Involvement of the community in problem-solving has been the key to success in promoting these programs.
The Conflict Management Program is a joint effort with the police department and the school system to provide peer counseling and crisis prevention/intervention. These components facilitate juveniles in acting responsibly in solving conflicts and problems they encounter within their own peer groups.
Students are selected to participate in this program and become ôcounselorsö based on recommendations by peers and school/police officials. The student must be willing to listen to problems, possess leadership qualities and maintain confidentiality. By utilizing students, kids are more apt to express their feelings and concerns. The comfort levels in this program are greatly increased by having a peer rather than an authority figure.
The group of counselors represents a cross section of the student population. Children from all social and economic levels participate both as counselors and clients in this program. A decrease in discipline within the school system and contact with the juvenile court system has been a result of this program.
While peer counseling and mediation may not be the only reasons for these decreases, the positive feedback from the students, schools and parents indicates that it is making a significant difference. Students stated they have been able to overcome their own angers and fears and are better at channeling their hostile emotions and negative feelings by talking to peers rather than authority figures.
Peer counselors are available
any time during the normal school day. Counselors rotate on a daily basis
so that the counseling is evenly distributed. If a special request is made
for a particular counselor, arrangements are made to accommodate the
client. All counselors use this experience as a learning tool and
recognize it as a privilege and honor to be able to serve their peer
group. The program is continually evaluated to ensure its ethical
Another aspect of this program
has been the implementation of crisis prevention for teachers. The program
is designed to de-escalate potentially harmful situations and redirect
them toward a resolution. The police department is instrumental in
training counselors and teachers in the use of verbal skills to lesson the
likelihood of violence. We have found that many times sharp verbal skills
will have a more positive effect than physical confrontation. This brings
about compliance with respect and dignity to all. An important part of
this program is that it removes the stereotyping of groups and fosters
respect among all involved.
The police department has
taken steps to start teaching conflict management and resolution at the
pre-school and elementary levels. This is accomplished through the use of
a specially trained yellow Labrador named Samantha. The dog has been
trained to respond to positive commands and attitudes. Interaction between
the officer, the dog and the students teaches students that positive
communication and attitude are instrumental in achieving common ground.
Because the dog lacks any prejudice, it is easy to demonstrate a bias-free
The Conflict Management
Program was established in the early 1990s. Since 1995, the police
department has taken a more proactive approach based on results that other
agencies had reported. By using peer counseling groups and crisis
prevention lessons in the schools, we are able to better educate our youth
toward tolerance at an earlier age. Working with teachers and counselors
has an enormous influence on the lives of the children and the community
as a whole.
Recognizing that the children
are the future, we saw the importance of helping them develop a strong
foundation of socialization. Utilizing conflict management, peer
counseling, the safety dog (Samantha) and positive police interaction, we
are able to impact the attitudes and feelings of the community. We strive
to show that tolerance and diversity go hand-in-hand. Removing the
barriers of race, religion and socio-economic status are easier done at
earlier ages.
The goal of the police
department is to better educate the community and promote a healthier
environment. Diminishing the anti-attitudes at an early age is the key to
our success. Kids can easily see that success begins with a positive and
tolerant attitude and that all people are created equal. Developing such
skills and instilling these beliefs will provide these children with the
necessary abilities to be future peer counselors.
In 1995, our objective was to provide good communication skills to students in an effort to reduce juvenile arrest rates by 10 percent. We have met this objective and juvenile arrests have dropped 19 percent from 1995 through November of 1998.
The relationship between the
police department and the schools is stronger. The strength in our
relationship resulted in the schools providing offices for the police
department and unlimited time for counseling. The children are comfortable
seeing police officers in the school and often voice their concerns
regarding personal issues with which they are struggling. Peer counselors
know that they can always come to the police for advice.
Community involvement has grown since the inception of these school programs. The community has been instrumental in sponsoring drives for better equipment, holding events to recognize citizen accomplishments, helping the unemployed in the job search and establishing police/citizen committees to target specific problems related to their neighborhoods. Police/school interaction has sparked interest in community-wide projects. This program has proven to facilitate the partnership we had hoped to achieve.
Financing of this program is
handled through the police budget. The normal duties of the school liaison
officers include coordinating this program with the schools and other
police officers. Scheduling time and work space within the schools is
handled on an informal basis and benefits all parties involved. The police
department has dedicated three full-time officers and two detectives
part-time to provide the necessary support to the schools. Nothing in this
program requires special funding or needs for federal grants. The school
safety dog (Samantha) is part of the ongoing K-9 program of the police
The community has responded
favorably to these programs. Students and parents involved in these
programs have recognized a positive change in the attitudes and behaviors
of participants. Everyone understands that a peer group does not take the
place of parents, schools or police. It is understood that this is another
means to solving the complex, everyday problems of growing up.
By keeping programs simple,
people are able to grasp the idea of the program easier. Family interest
grows as children become involved in this type of project. The police
department sees that when the children understand and learn about this
program, the parents become interested. While the program was initially
started in the schools, it has spread to the neighborhoods and apartment
A community breakfast at one
of the schools brought participants together in a relaxed setting and
helped erased personal biases. Influential representatives from the fire
department, police department, schools, local government and civic
organizations promote this; and by attending events such as recognition
breakfasts, strengthen relationships within the community.
The police department has learned from this program that peer counseling and youth programs results in more community involvement. The success of peer counseling groups at the schools has been instrumental in lowering juvenile arrests, benefiting the community and building strong relationships. The children have been able to rechannel energy into positive, productive methods of resolution.
By having juveniles
participate, they understand the importance of controlling their actions
and eliminating the repercussions that would occur otherwise. The support
of the community for both cops and kids has been overwhelming and a
crucial part of the programĺs success.
If a police department is
capable of having a section dedicated specifically to community relations
and schools, this program can be easily replicated. It would be a valuable
tool to establish a working relationship with the schools and obtain
cooperation when putting on programs.
Promoting the efficacy of such a program to schools and the community involves describing the program and its benefits. Each group is targeted based on their specific needs. For example, school children are more apt to learn if there is an element of fun in learning. This is evident by use of the safety dog and having officers available even when there are no police problems. Once children become involved, the interest spreads to adults and families on how they can assist and participate in these programs.

U.S. Mayorsĺ Institute for Community Policing, supported by the U.S.
Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services
(COPS). For more information about the program, contact Kathy Amoroso on

Searius Add first made his name as a rapper, but in recent years he's jumped dreads-first into the world of spoken word. His Art of Storytelling series, "a marriage of live music and poetry," moves to Sidebar 122 this Sunday.
Best show I ever did: I did a weeklong set of features in Charlotte, North Carolina, with a company called Touch One Productions at this place called the Wine Up in the arts district in Charlotte. That was the catalyst for me to really go hard and focus on spoken word. The whole week there, the level of artistry that I saw and experienced, the level of reception that I got there, that was a groundbreaker, turning moment in my career as an artist.
Best show I ever saw: I saw this brother by the name of CP Maze. A lot of poets have a lot of passion, but his delivery, I believed it. It was a piece about being an ex-Marine and whatnot. It really says a lot because I'm a stoic type person. I'm pretty emotionally detached. But that delivery, I was like, that's pretty good. And also, the last AOS we did at the King Arts Center, our spotlight vocalist was named Keisha. And she did a combination of poetry and spoken word that's had the people talking nonstop for the last 60 days, to the point I'm actually bringing her back as a special guest this Sunday.
Worst show I ever did: One time at the old High Five, and no slight to the High Five at the time, but I had a DJ not show up, and we had a hip-hop concert going down. So we had to put the music on a CD player, and the artists had to push fast-forward to the next track. And on top of that, it was skipping.
Favorite place to perform: A guy by the name of Chris Wiley does an event called Poetry in Motion, and that's like a Dayton version of Art of Storytelling, and I love the crowd there. Love, love, love. They treat me like I'm Superman or something.

I hit this club beautifully the surefit hosel is easy to adjust and lots of fun to use. I was happy to see the condition of the club when I received it was amazing! It said very good condition but I watched the video and my club looks so much better thank you globalgolf.
I am continually impressed with the quality of the clubs purchased during the past 3 - 4 years from Global.As long as Global maintains the club quality of pre-owned clubs, they will have a customer.Keep the quality up and the prices down - equals great value.
Bought in excellent condition and global golf out does themselves every time I order. The club is amazing and I might no be the brightest guy but I swear this club is new. I LOVE GLOBAL GOLF!!!!! Bought a Cameron golo in excellent condition too and it might as well came from the factory. Keep up the great work and customer service and Global Golf will be around a long time. And I will be buying from you guys as long as your around. Thank you for making top notch golf clubs available at the best prices around so a young working family man can afford them. Absolutely the best!!!!!
After driver, hybrids are the most difficult clubs for me to hit. I prefer this one, along with the 910h, over all the other brands that I've tried: Adams, TM, Callaway, and Mizuno. The shaft selection is great, and it looks and feels perfect. The head shape is ideal and it is good off the tee as well as the fairway or light rough.
I have purchased many items from Global golf. Hands down, best service and quality. Would recommend anyone to try and find a better site. 2 Thumbs up!!!

Dog parks are one of the best places to bring your canine companion for exercise and socialization with other people and dogs. These places are usually fenced in for safety and provide plenty of places for dogs to explore, but there are also some dangers pet owners should be aware of. Knowing the risks involved can help keep you and your dog safe during play.
Most owners know they should check their dogs for external parasites like ticks after a walk in the woods or another outdoor area, but it is also important to be aware of the internal parasites at dog parks. According to WebMD, gastrointestinal parasites like Giardia in dogs and Cryptosporidium can pose a risk. In a recent study of feces collected from dogs in Colorado, researchers found these organisms more often in dogs that frequented dog parks than those that did not, the news outlet reports. Giardia can cause giardiasis, which is treated with an antibiotic or anti-parasitic medication, according to VCA Animal Hospitals.
Infectious diseases can also be spread at the dog park. A coughing dog at the park can pose a threat if infected with the bacteria that causes kennel cough in dogs or canine influenza. Luckily, there are vaccines for dogs to prevent these diseases, and scooping up dog feces can prevent the spread of parvovirus, another infectious disease that is spread through dog waste.

Many brides-to-be spend a lot of time leading up to their big day at the cosmetics counter. The makeup you choose to sport as you walk down the aisle is an important part of your overall look and is sure to affect your wedding pictures and how beautiful you feel.
Blush is often one of the most difficult products to settle on when it comes to your big day. Brides who are longing for a natural look can search for subtle colors and high-quality products that will enhance their god-given beauty and display their best features.
However, if you prefer a more glamorous look with nothing subtle about it, opt for colors that pop.
Dresden Buras, a freelance makeup artist, told Cleveland.com that creamy products can create a fresh appearance. Buras recommended a cream blush that can be used on lips and cheeks.
"Using your finger tips, pat a touch of product on the apple of the cheek and then blend to temple to instantly brighten the face," she told the news provider. "It also works well when a bronzer is applied over top."
Of course, eye makeup is also an essential part of the planning process. Opt for water-resistant tubing mascara to ensure that your look won't run if you become a little teary during the ceremony.

Is the UFC ready for an openly homosexual fighter...very interesting read indeed!
Joseph Benavidez leaned back in his chair, his eyes squinting. He interlocked his hands, then put them on top of his head. The question seemed to perplex him.
Is the UFC ready for an openly gay male fighter?
"Why not?" Benavidez answered.
There is an openly gay player in the NBA, the same for NCAA Division I men's college basketball. Michael Sam became the first openly gay player in the NFL on Saturday when he was drafted by the St. Louis Rams and former boxing champion Orlando Cruz came out in 2012.
Benavidez, one of the best 125-pound MMA fighters on the planet, doesn't think the UFC should be any different.
"It would be cool to see a gay guy just beat the s*** out of somebody," he told FOX Sports. "I think that would be that much cooler. Busting a stereotype."
It's funny Benavidez used that word, because you already know the stereotype about UFC fighters. They're supposed to be meatheads and uneducated. How could you expect men and women who punch and choke people for a living to be tolerant or enlightened?
They're trained to exploit the weaknesses of their opponents in the Octagon. But it seems clear they don't view homosexuality as any such weakness.
When FOX Sports asked more than a dozen current and former UFC athletes if the league is ready to welcome and accept an openly gay male competitor, it was a nearly unanimous "yes." UFC president Dana White has said for years that an openly homosexual male fighter would not be treated differently. And in 2013, women's bantamweight Liz Carmouche became the first lesbian fighter in the UFC.
"People shouldnt be afraid to be who they are -- period," said Miesha Tate, who fought Carmouche last month at FOX UFC Saturday. "Whatever makes you, you at the end of the day, that's unique to you. I think that's what America stands for."
The UFC as an organization has made its opinion clear on this issue, walking unapologetically into the world of HIV/AIDS awareness that is still associated with homosexuality. Last week, it teamed up with four prominent New York organizations -- Latino Commission on AIDS; Gay Men's Health Crisis; the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center; and the National Black Leadership Commission on AIDS of New York City -- to launch a new public awareness campaign aimed at spreading the word on the importance of HIV testing and safe sex, particularly for those under 30 years old. Tate and featherweight Dennis Bermudez were chosen as spokespeople.
The UFC has been pigeonholed in the past as a barbaric spectacle, rife with misogyny and homophobia. Those labels have been used against the company in MMA's battle to be legalized in New York State. But they have worked hard to wipe clean the negative stereotypes with campaigns like this one, called "Protect Yourself."
So what would be the reaction to an out gay male UFC fighter? Sam has gotten mostly support from the NFL and his peers. His jersey sales are second most among this year's draftees so far, behind Johnny Manziel. Jason Collins of the NBA's Brooklyn Nets has been largely embraced. University of Massachusetts basketball player Derrick Gordon also came out earlier this year. There actually is an out male MMA fighter, but Shad Smith has never competed for the UFC.
There are fans who have been unaccepting of gay players in other sports, but Benavidez says, "fans are going to give you crap no matter what sexual orientation you are."
"It's the same as any sport," UFC light heavyweight Phil Davis said of a male fighter coming out. "I don't see why not. I would not think any less of anyone that did so. It has nothing to do with their capabilities inside the cage."
You may also like...
UFC Hall of Famer Chuck Liddell, one of the most popular and beloved MMA fighters of all time, said it's irrelevant if a fighter is gay.
"If he's tough, who cares?" Liddell said. "If he's a fighter, he's a fighter. As long as he wins fights, it doesn't matter."
Not everyone is going to share those sentiments. UFC heavyweight Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira said in 2011 that he would not train with a homosexual fighter, because of the close contact.
"I have no prejudice against the gays, but I wouldn't train with someone who's gay," Nogueira told UOL Esporte (translated by Bloody Elbow). "I have no malice, I don't take our physical contact as (something) sexual. But what if the gay person has that malice of having physical contact with me, of staying there grappling? I would have no problems having a gay student in my academy, but I would rather not train with him."
None of the fighters interviewed by FOX Sports said they did not want to see a gay fighter in the UFC. But both UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and middleweight contender Luke Rockhold declined to talk about the subject.
"I dont really know what I think about homosexuality and MMA," Jones said. "I've never really put much thought into it. It's a very sensitive topic. I'd rather not even comment on it."
It's almost statistically certain that there are several gay male fighters in the UFC, the same way Sam and Collins aren't the only ones in their respective leagues. They're just the only ones to have gone public. It isn't easy to be a trailblazer by any means.
"I'll tell you right now, if there was a gay fighter in UFC, I wish he would come out," White said in 2011. "I could care less if there's a gay fighter in the UFC."
Added bantamweight contender T.J. Dillashaw: "It's the real world. People just need to accept it. There probably are [gay fighters in the UFC], they just haven't admitted it [publicly] yet."
Tate finds Nogueira's feelings about close quarters ill-founded. There's really nothing intimate about grappling when the result can be choking someone unconscious or snapping their arm. It's not quite pillow talk.
"If you're not comfortable with who you are and yourself, that kind of close contact, it doesnt make any sense to me," she said. "Someone's sexual preference has nothing to do with it anyway. If you're busy thinking about that when you're fighting somebody, your mind frame is in the wrong place anyway."
Mike Brown agreed. The current UFC fighter, former WEC featherweight champion and coach at American Top Team in Florida said a gay male fighter should not be a problem in 2014. Brown believes the majority of fighters would be "fine with it."
"When you're a fighter, you have plenty to worry about already," Brown said. "You're in the cage with someone trying to take your head off. We don't really sweat the small stuff."
Typical liberal bias seen through the strategy in the media. Find as many like-minded fighters and quote them - this way it seems the majority support. Then, get a heel like Jon Jones to be non-conformist and a fading star in Nog to represent "out with the old/in with the new".
Satan is very clever.
Please consider England in your prayers!
But you cant use the same logic on the company stand point itself....I would NOT have thought that the Exec of the UFC would be openly supporting ANY homosexual awareness programmes...Obviously nothing militant...but even Safe Sex is a difficult issue...especially, when some of the more radical right wingers would say that the whole point of homosexual related disease is a kind of moral punishment...a Consequence of, no doubt...but they do imply much further that in fact the diseases are divine retribution for abomination.
So that the UFC would openly support a campaign to raise awareness is a position that it did not have to take...whether it believed the statement above or not...most companies simply wouldn't dare get involved period...and certainly no Christian/Moral/Religious company is going to want to appear associated....after all, its about ones reputation, more then ones conviction I tend to find
Besides...I can promise you that there ARE already homosexuals in MMA, and homosexuals in the UFC...and more likely then not, they are probably practicing as well. There is, in a sense, no need to be "open" about it, if it doesn't directly relate, they almost certainly just say nothing. Its not only statistical in terms of demographics, but Firstly, there are entire fetish groupings on the homosexual scene surrounding combat sports, and secondly I certainly have my suspicions over more then a few of those on the roster...can I be certain...nope...but I aint usually wrong lol

i have no issues with it .. it will be a few close minded fans or fighters that have an issue with it .. i think if a big name fighter came out of the closet tomorrow, he might even sell more ppv's ...

CamelBak® Got Your Bak™ Guarantee: If we built it, we'll Bak it™ with our lifetime guarantee.
We recommend wiping your pack with a damp cloth to remove dirt. If the pack is extremely dirty and needs a deeper cleaning, soak it in cool or warm water with a very mild soap. Rinse the pack thoroughly with cool water. If soap residue remains in the fabric, it may create suds if exposed to water or sweat.
DO NOT wash your pack in a washing machine. Machine washing may damage the pack or affect the integrity of the fabric and fasteners, and will void the Got Your Bak™ Guarantee.
The best way to care for your reservoir is to clean and dry it after every use, especially if you fill the reservoir with anything other than water. However, if a reservoir has not been cleaned after every use, and mold or discoloration develops:
These steps will make your reservoir safe for use. If there are still spots left behind, these are permanent mold stains that may not be removable. However, your reservoir is still safe and usable after you've cleaned it.

Comments about CamelBak Charm™ - Discontinued:
I bought this product for my marathon training. I am a superhydrator. I love to drink water while I workout. The belts, handheld bottles work for some. For me, this was a Godsend. I could swing my arms and focus on other things and, when the urge to take a sip came about, I had plenty to sip on. It was comfortable and gave me full range of movement. Only thing that bugged me (a little) was the sloshing noise but that really wasn't a big deal. A great investment.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Ugly and hate-filled
Is America unstoppably careening towards hate and minutia-filled politics as it moves further into the 21st century?
It certainly seems that way. You'd think that, with all the huge issues facing the country, our politics and media coverage would be overwhelmed in a scramble to present substantive stories, serious argument-crammed think pieces, and intelligent TV coverage and policy discussions that could significantly advance a crucial national debate.
But in today's political culture, the way to advance your new or even mainstream media career, or soil the image of another party, partisan or writer, is to be outrageous, over the top, searing, sarcastic or indignant. Or you create an issue by seizing on something small, then blow it up like a political blimp until it becomes a narrative with "legs" that others will jump on, even if it's a non or fabricated issue. The name of the game is getting attention. Who cares how?
All of this has now become so ingrained in our political culture that it brings to mind the title of a Rodgers and Hart song from the 1937 musical "Babes in Arms," called "Johnny One Note." Its opening words: "Johnny could only sing one note and the note he sings was this: Ah!"
Our politics increasingly seems to be mired in two sour notes: the predominance of hate and anger as a political motivational and discussion tool, and the seizing of small events or issues which are then dissected, and peppered with generous dashes of paranoia and hatred. Speculation is packaged as fact or probability when they are often neither. The synthetic event or issue then takes on a life of its own as others want to cover what others have covered -- because others are covering it. Our politics is therefore increasingly easy to manipulate, and our media oftentimes not gatekeepers but partisan rant and negative image-dissemination systems.
A telling moment in our politics came when Bay Buchanan, conservative columnist Pat Buchanan's assertive, articulate and often-vitriolic sister, and a key media spokesperson for Mitt Romney during the GOP's failed presidential campaign, proclaimed that she's fed up with politics -- and is going into real estate. Buchanan was the quintessential TV partisan talking head when she was on the tube; always in a race against time to load answers with as many talking points as humanly possible, and present them with angry, quotable zingers aimed at Democrats and Barack Obama.
The Washington Post notes that after Romney's loss she went for her real estate license. She then said something to the Washington Examiner explaining why she quit being a TV partisan talking head that speaks volumes about our political culture: "I can't just live my life going on TV and being angry all the time."
Who said politics has to always be in an angry tone? But TV in particular needs conflict and emotion. How many times have you seen two partisans angrily going at it on a show, interrupting each other and screaming, then the host says with a smug look: "We'll have to have you back!!"
Meanwhile, a prime example of seizing on minutia and inflating it into a fake controversy until the attention deficit media jumps on it was best seen when Barack Obama mentioned he does skeet shooting. He must be lying, the partisan chorus howled. Then the mainstream media covered it. So Obama released a photo showing him skeet shooting. Partisan bloggers then dissected and questioned the photo. Is the smoke real? Is that really Obama? When was it taken? No way he could wear several changes of clothes in one day. Some conservatives call it -- I'm not kidding, now -- "Skeetgate."
Actually, it's "Hackgate" for those seriously investigating it, or for those wasting a Presidential press briefing demanding more answers on this "issue." Many blame Obama for mentioning skeet shooting: hey, he said something, didn't he, so didn't he expect to be challenged?

With so much buzz about Sundance these days, it's easy to get frustrated hearing so much about these obscure little movies that don't even have release dates yet. But there was a time when we hadn't heard of The Blair Witch Project, Little Miss Sunshine, or Reservoir Dogs, either, and all those Sundance movies ended up doing pretty well for themselves. So brace yourselves.
Which movies from 2013's fest have the best chance of becoming the next breakout hits (and maybe even potential Best Picture nominees) like Juno or Beasts of the Southern Wild?
Here's our round-up of the hottest films and biggest sales at this year's Sundance!

Roasted Beef Tenderloin with Basil-Curry Mayonnaise
- Beef:
- Vegetable oil cooking spray
- 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
- 2 teaspoons coriander seeds
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus 2 teaspoons
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 (3 1/2 to 4-pound) beef tenderloin, trimmed
- Mayonnaise:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
- 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the beef: Arrange an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a heavy baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray. Set aside.
In a mortar and pestle, or spice grinder, finely grind the cumin seeds and coriander seeds. Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the spices and cook for a few seconds until aromatic and toasted. Put the spices in a small bowl. Chop the garlic on a cutting board and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Holding a chef's knife at a 45 degrees angle, scrape the garlic and salt together to form a paste. Add the garlic paste to the bowl with the spices. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons salt, black pepper, and oil and stir until smooth. Put the meat on the prepared baking sheet and rub with the spice mixture. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 125 degrees F, for medium-rare. Remove from the oven and transfer the meat to a cutting board. Cover the meat loosely with foil and let rest for 20 minutes.
For the mayonnaise: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mascarpone cheese, basil, curry powder, and paprika until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
To serve: Slice the meat into 1/4-inch thick slices and arrange on a platter. Spoon the mayonnaise mixture into a small serving bowl and serve alongside the sliced meat.
Cook's Note: The spices can also be crushed by placing them in a small sealable bag and crushed using a rolling pin or the bottom of a small saucepan.

MaccaSpan has set up a "Fireman" page on their website where you can listen to all three of the new tracks, and there are pictures of the new CD, opened with all the inner sleeve art, etc.. It looks like they are probably some of Paul's paintings and the work is really great. This is his best looking package in years and years. Great artwork on this one, it just looks terrific.
The MaccaSpan folks got it from the new updated Fireman website, which looks great also, at:
I wonder if the MaccaSpan site has somehow gotten a hold of a promo packet, or promo copy of the CD. Maybe I'm wrong, but those first two tracks everyone had...this 3rd one, as far as I know, has only come from the MaccaSpan folk(s). Let's hope for more...until then, here's the link to their specialty "Fireman" page:
The three MaccaSpan videos for those three tracks are:
1) Lifelong Passion (Sail Away)
2) Nothing Too Much Just Out Of Sight (2 versions: a) longer & b) shorter)
a) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoEQnxYpigE
b) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vepDWDUbRrA
3) Sing The Changes
and then there's the 12 second promo clip as well...
