Re: slaughtered Lamb, head made to resign by hypocrits
How much of that vote was motivated by a speech and/or peer pressure?
I agree that kids need to understand the slaughter for food issue, and it was a good lesson, but the traumatc aspects needed to be expected and dealt with. And if only one of those kids would be seriously traumatised, that's too many.
And I do believe that causing them to become vegetarians a positive thing but the cause needn't be so harsh...though photographs from the slaugher houses should be plenty...

It's a different thing doing something because you had a traumatic experience and truly knowing all the aspects before deciding to do it conciously. Kids don't need to be traumatised, they need to learn and undestand why!

Re: slaughtered Lamb, head made to resign by hypocrits
If slaughter is traumatic, then the meat is traumatic.
If children should be shielded from slaughter, they should be shielded from meat.
I would have done the slaughter in front of the kids, the way it is done all over the world.
But this head teacher didn't.
The children did not see the sheep slaughtered. All they saw was the meat they eat was an animal. A cute cuddly, playful animal.
All they saw was the truth. And the truth is too much for the hypocrites who hounded that head teacher out.
People don't want to see the truth, but want what they want to be shielded from to continue.
They want meat and they want slaughter, what they don't want to know is the Animal that was what they eat wasn't some sort of vegetable, but a thinking, playful being able to feel both pleasure and pain.
I can eat meat knowing this, hypocrites can't, so they do what they can to shield themselves from this fact, while continuing to eat meat.
I think sweet lies damage children, not the painful truth.

Lol abdul, your truth is so subjective... Don't you care at all about the teaching quality of your lesson? If the children will really learn or they get traumatised by the experience?? You believe because YOU learned that way it will work on a random kid, who grew in totally different enviroment and with totally different teachings?
Children are treated as individual charachters in modern didactics(teaching?), you need to teach everyone a different way if you want him to truly understands the lesson.
When I was young 9-10 years old and saw a lamb being killed in front of me(with no electic shock just a knife at it's neck) it felt wrong. The lamb was feeling every cut of the knife, every drop of it's blood being spilled. It knew it was about to die and in terrible pain too. I couldn't understand it then, I continued to eat meat (as I do now).
It taught me nothing about respect, about death... I remembered it with this talk, and yes I'll call my parents and ask them why the f@"�k they made me watch this as a kind without any previous conversation or anything! Just because their father made them? ... Not didactic at all...
It's like the parents who raise their kids exactly as they were raised by their parents..."I grew up as a good human being, why shouldn't I raise my kid as I was raised?"
Because the result is making a human being 99% like you(most of the time).
No hard feeling, always

Re: slaughtered Lamb, head made to resign by hypocrits
Wow all points are valid. And looking back on it In a sense I do live both. My eldest son who lives with his mother refuses to accept the fact of where the meat comes from when he comes to visit eats strictly veg. Even his minute seeing the animals across the road or seeing deer on his travels in gives him a sense of truth. My daughter on the other hand understands the difficult choices I must make before harvesting a deer as she has witnessed it and I occasionally give her the choice when she's with me wether or not to harvest the animal. Afterwards without critism I ask her why? It allows her to form her own code of ethics as I have formed my own.
I have muchly enjoyed the debate.

Re: slaughtered Lamb, head made to resign by hypocrits
'Sheep are people too'? If they ran wild, something would kill and eat them. Using the logic of protecting animals as if they were people, what do we do for all the prey animals around the world? have a read of Bourdain's book 'A Cooks Tour.' Perhaps even JO's little European sojourn. I believe Mr. O. has also mentioned people appreciating where our food really comes from. (My memory is NOT overly reliable mind.)
How about those tribal types where kids join the hunters as soon as they are able?
Humane treatment is a great thing, denial is ridiculous.
Billy Connolly has an interesting perspective on vegetarians as well.

Re: slaughtered Lamb, head made to resign by hypocrits
Hunting for food is quite different from raising an animal with the intention of killing it. The wild animal, though we want to romanticise and denegrate his life is at least given the choice whether to be killed or stay away from that gun or arrow, has free choice and the abandon to mate with whom he or she would like and bare their young as they like. No sanitation or heat or quick and easy breakfast none the less no crazy chemicals or sword hanging over their heads every day of their lives. Dmfootycoach, you hunt for venison? That is an art, and those creatures are according to old wisdom colluding with you. And in that vein, so are the farm animals, but for me the dynamic is more difficult to work out, though I did watch a cattle rancher burst into tears when describing the dying dispair of a calf who he couldn't get enough fodder to on the range.
But teaching a child about where their meat comes from is a sacred task and must be approached carefully, thoughfully, and not by the vote of children. But this woman could have involved the parents with a heads up notice, and the death sentence vote must be unanimous.

Re: slaughtered Lamb, head made to resign by hypocrits
Thanks for the compliment and view Whitedog. Yes I hunt venison, turkey, rabbit all strictly bow only. But my views on respecting life have been formed by my time as a peacekeeper witnessing the way people treat life with complete disregard for respect. It is why I live the way I do.
The dynamic of being part of raising an animal and harvesting an animal are one in the same. As Abdullcohn alluded to a life is a life his wording in my opinion was a little askew and harsh but nonetheless correct. I am part of the cattle and pigs lives from birth it is my choice, I choose both from the moment they're born after I've helped in the birthing process. But the same can be said of the deer while I do not help in the birthing process during pre-hunt I am in the field scouting and often see young fawns taking their first steps and often the raw beauty of it takes my breath away, very similar to my awe as I help a pretty young calf escape its confines to enter a cold cruel world.
I choose to be part of the ending of my "meats" lives. I have witnessed the mass slaughter and it makes my stomach churn. As it would make anybodys stomach heave. All of my animals lead a organic life and I am willing to pay a premium for it (And occasionally accept financial loss) for their sakes and that of my daughter and soon to be born child.
Insofar as these children voting for ending the lambs life without the option of participating in it. Is the troubling part as it still keeps it almost videogame like and fails to teach the consequences of ones actions and choices. As I said her idea was correct but her execution was flawed without complete thought.
You are absolutely correct though teaching children the respect of life and what it brings should be treated as though sacred and delicately. But as Dukegas suggested each child is different as should the appoach to such teachings paticularly involving the harvesting of animals.

Re: slaughtered Lamb, head made to resign by hypocrits
"Don't you care at all about the teaching quality of your lesson?"
I think that is the key issue here. The person who made the decision, wasn't just an experienced head. She was what is known here as a SuperHead. Superheads are sent to the worst schools, schools which normal heads are not able to fix and which are about to be closed down. Superheads fix them and turn them in to the best schools. Once they have transformed a failing school in to a really good school they hand the school over to a normal head and are transferred to another failing school.
That school was a failing school. She was transferred there to fix it. She did fix it and the school was improving. And then she was forced kicked out, not by the governors(They are elected by the parents) who have the authority to do so, but by a facebook campaign.
So I do care about teaching quality, so do the governors who employed her and wanted her to stay, so do the majority of parents who elected the governors, so do the children themselves who wanted voted for the slaughter. And the local MP, elected by the Local people. So everyone who matters supported the head and what she did, the people who didn't were the Facebook hypocrites, and the facebook hypocrites wan. Because Mob justice always overrides democracy, and armchair experts have more say on children's education than trained professionals, parents, the children themselves and elected officials.
And even though it is none of my business, I respect what your parents did. and believe they are very nice people.

Re: slaughtered Lamb, head made to resign by hypocrits
If Marcus was an intact ram (male) lamb, they should have gifted him to the woman who campaigned to save him. I have a small flock of sheep, and a ram lamb that has been bottle fed and raised with no fear for humans will likely become a very dangerous animal. I say this from experience. We recently slaughtered our ram that had been like a pet, and wasn't planned for the freezer, because he rammed us on several occasions. If he had gotten me down on the ground he could have killed me. I used to be a vegetarian, so I do understand that perspective, but now we look to raise some of our own meat...chickens, ducks, sheep because we feel that if we're going to eat it, that's probably the healthiest and most responsible thing to do. Though this situation with the school children might have been handled a little differently (Perhaps they should have named him "Lamb Chop"), I think it a valuable lesson for children to learn where their food comes from and at what cost. If we all raised and slaughtered our own meat we would eat a lot healthier product. We would also eat much less of it. Plucking a chicken and breaking down a lamb for the freezer is back breaking work.

The liberal media have returned to assaulting the crowd reaction at
Republican debates. Ken Tucker, a TV critic at Entertainment Weekly (a
sister publication of Time magazine), suggested the "mob" was "heavy with malice."
Tucker strongly suggested the audience was racist in reaction to a Juan
Williams hardball question to Newt Gingrich, but in truth, the video of the exchange proves Tucker misrepresented the audience.

Pearls are back in a big way! Not that they ever went away, if we're talking about that certain Barbara Bush crowd, but now they are genuinely hip.
Lucky for me, I just scored a strand of South Sea pearls on my trip to the Philippines. A choker length of 10mm rounds with slightly irregularly shape for $160. And they are really beautiful. They cheat by using a larger "irritant," so the depth of color is not the same, but who is looking at me with a microscope?
This time around, you should be on the lookout for pearls with a twist. In the spirit of Kenneth Jay Lane's crystal and faux pearl bracelet, I distort my pearl choker with chains for an edgier look. With the appearance of plundered treasure, Kenneth Jay Lane knows that costume jewelry should be lacking in sobriety. Strands of chains and clumps of Swarovski crystals make simulated pearls as interesting as the real thing. Lanvin multiple strands are the right look, but the wrong price for disingenuous pearls. With crystal-embellished beads on an antique silver tone clasp and mixed up sizes and lengths, their necklace symbolizes the new statement pearl necklace. Keep in mind you can find the same look for a fraction of the price, though (they're not real so why spend $1,700 when you can spend $17?).
Or make a different sort of statement with an ornate design. Jude Frances' pearl, diamond, 18-karat gold, and sterling silver pendant is totally medieval chic, and since I'm obsessed with Games of Thrones, this is a look I am after. Not to gloat, but Linda Lee Johnson's South Sea baroque pearl necklace (for $44,950!) makes me feel extra-good about my purchase. Her textural, mysteriously shaped strand looks just like mine, though my pearls are rounder. And did I mention I got mine for $160?! Mwahhaahhaa!! Use my steal as an example and take your time when buying your new pearls – and look out for that special necklace on your next vacation. You never know where you'll find a real treasure. Kenneth Jay Lane Crystal and Simulated Pearl Bracelet at Bergdorf Goodman for $175. Lanvin Multi-Strand Pearl Necklace on Ssense for $1,700. Jude Frances Diamond, Pearl, 18-Karat Gold, and Sterling Silver Large Scroll Pendant Necklace at Saks Fifth Avenue for $1,485. Linda Lee Johnson Baroque Pearl Necklace at Barneys New York for $44,950. Check out my South Sea pearls below!

Some of you have asked if Jai is making any mats this year and the answer at the moment is no. She had an arrangement with a friend who grew the grass they use. The friend would supply the grass and Jai would make the mats but every other mat she completed went to her friend. It is hard work and especially time consuming and she has got a bit bored with this arrangement so this year we are starting to get some grass growing in the garden. I attach a number of photos. I try to keep things simple by just calling it grass as no doubt it has a proper name. Likewise the 'flower' on the top is just a flower to me.
Job number one was to cut some flowers from a neighbours grass and then soak them in a pot of water for a few weeks until they started to produce roots. Then they went into the garden and the first ones are just producing their first grasses now. Jai cuts them at the base, takes off the flowers and puts them to soak so we can plant some more later. Each stalk of grass can then be split with a sharp knife to make three or four stalks. These are grouped together according to length and placed in the sun for a week to dry out and turn white. They are then ready for colouring and then mat making. Jai may make a mat or two before we leave but it is more likely that she will start up again next year when we are producing enough grass to make it worthwhile.

"Measure twice, install once"
By ZB from Baltimore, Maryland
Our blinds are perfect for our screened porch. We bought 3 and measured very carefully for the first one. The 2nd two we assumed were the same size and just quickly measured. The openings were just ever so slightly different... we were able to install the first one no problem, working in the same order, but they increasingly got harder because of our measurements (we re measured more carefully when it started getting difficult). Luckily for us it was a minimal difference, and we got them installed, but we made it harder on ourselves than necessary with our assumption that they would all be exactly equal. Great product, easy to install if you measure well, easy to use, good looking, love them!View this product

National Broker Contract
GSA Public Buildings Service has a lease portfolio comprising over 8,700 leases with an annual rent outlay of over $5.6B. To acquire these leases on behalf of the Government, GSA utilizes a combination of in house staff complemented by contracts with private sector brokers. On average over the last 3 years, PBS has utilized brokers in the acquisition of 30% of its leased space. The current contract, National Broker Contract 2 (NBC2) is the second of its kind, issued in 2010 at the expiration of its predecessor, now known as NBC1. The contracts were awarded as a one year base and can be extended for a total of four years, subject to annual renewal options. We are currently in the fourth year of NBC2.
The National Broker Contract (NBC) Program has been a vital program within the Leasing program for the past nine years. As a result, two National contracts have been very instrumental in the success of the leasing program. To date, the broker program has been used in the procurement of 3,056 leases totaling 94.1M square feet. The total contract value of leases awarded is $18.0B. The program has been successful in passing along $214.9M in rent credits passed to tenant agencies. The program has a total of 511 leases, comprising of 19.7M square feet currently in the pipeline. These leases have an estimated total contract value of $6.0B with an anticipated commission credit of $74.0M to be passed on to tenant agencies.
The Office of Leasing's Center for Brokerage Services is developing a strategy to acquire the third generation of GSA's Broker Contract (BC3). We are aiming to improve upon the previous two versions of the contract, using lessons learned as well as a innovative approaches and strategies.
Requirements are currently being developed for the next generation broker contract. Once these requirements have been finalized, information (synopsis, solicitation, etc.) will be posted through the Government Point of Entry, FedBizOpps (https://www.fbo.gov/).

Foul disgusting girls. They don't have to be fat, I have stumbled across quite a few skinny ones. Most I have learned tend to do or were heavily addicted to meth and coke. They tend to have rotten teeth, give horrid sex(not to mention STDS and AIDS), you can picture with a couple kids in a few years if not already. They tend to wear sweatpants, overalls and like to sport "Pooh Bear" overalls.

I will say this, if we were talking about Big Ben, then I would agree, his defense won those championships.
The guy is a very good QB. I like the fact that my team has a very good QB. But this nonsense about "all time greatness" is so twisted its not even worthy of discussion.
But here we are. Discussing it as if its not based on complete delusion. No one (outside a few nutty Eli cultists) think Eli has anything close to the standing some of you guys are giving him.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
Ok....20 years from now when the NFL network is doing their top 10 QBs from this era Eli will be one of them as will Brady, Brees, Rodgers, Ben...etc...
You guys are serioulsy nuts over this......wow...Fun to watch and read though .
You guys are the Real Housewives of the Giants Message Boards...
"Measure Twice......Cut Once"
You couldn't be more full of **** if you were break dancing in a Port-a-Potty.......Kruunch
Heck I'll man up ... here are my list of QBs that are even in a discussion with Eli (all time):
1) Joe Montana (my personal fave)
2) Johnny Unitas
3) Bart Starr
4) Tom Brady
5) John Elway
6) Brett Favre
7) Dan Marino
8) Steve Young (tough because he only had 8 years as a starter but his starting stats with SF were tremendous)

I can't read any more right now...got something beckoning me towards it. But...I will say this. It really irks me when people state their "opinion" as if it is "fact". I would venture to say, too, that it appears to me, and I can't be sure, but the people who are the biggest culprits come-off as people who have never really played the game and are more like Sheldon from BBT. They have much knowledge about the game from books or TV, but nothing compares to learning the game on the field...IMO.

Blood donations will help people such as four-year-old Micaela Poole, who was diagnosed three weeks ago with leukemia and is using blood and blood products. Micaela is the daughter of Ohelia Poole, a May graduate of UTSA, and Michael Poole.
"With the initial shock and horror of finding out that the sweetest child in the world, our Micaela, has been diagnosed with cancer, life has become even more precious than before," said Ophelia Poole. "Words cannot express our gratitude to all who have supported us in our time of need. Thank you."
All presenting donors must bring a photo I.D. and will receive a T-shirt or baseball cap and refreshments. Donors must be at least 17 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds and be in good general health. It is recommended to eat before donating.

It seems as if now, more than ever, child safety is top of mind — and one of the best ways industry professionals can help pool owners achieve it is with safety covers.
"Thirty years ago, [a pool owner] didn't have to have a cover. Now everybody wants one," says Chad Parsons, cover supervisor at Neptune Swimming Pool Co. Because the firm likes to provide turnkey pools, nearly all of its projects include covers. Based in Clackamas, a suburb of Portland, Ore., the builder has been installing pool covers since 1974.
Here, we talk with pool professionals about challenging cover installations they have faced.
Meeting challenges
Case in point: The Neptune crew had their work cut out for them on one particular project — an oblong indoor pool measuring 24-by-75 feet. It took four men to unload the 400 pounds of cover fabric. Once the cover was on the pool, it was time to see it in action. However, a metal bracket holding up the pavers on the cover lid caused a glitch. As the cover deployed, the fabric caught on the bracket above the spool, and as the spool unfurled, it shredded 75 feet of fabric.
"We had to replace [the cover] not long after installing it. Not fun," Parsons says.
A pool of similar proportions presented its own challenges in Champaign, Ill. As Sharon Pauza notes, it is "a gorgeous, 22-by-75-foot pool with a concrete bottom, stainless steel walls and tile border." The biggest challenge here was the size, says Pauza, who is store manager and daughter of the founder of Cardinal Pool and Outdoor.
"The sheer length of the pool meant everything must be heavy-duty — the motor, ropes and type of cover material," she adds. "There's a lot of drag. You must keep it lubed and the track clean — do it once a month, and do maintenance during the season. It eliminates a lot of chance of the rope breaking. The maintenance is key."
But for Tom Callahan, the true test comes when his company tackles any type of installation for the first time. The firm, Poolsafe, has been installing covers and fencing since 1983, when his father began the business. Its eight installers work in the areas around its Escondido, Calif., base.
"Our most challenging installation is, really, the first time we do something unusual — a dual level pool, our first vanishing-edge — new applications that we haven't done before, that's challenging," says Callahan, vice president.
He notes that Poolsafe's first dual level cover installation occurred about 10 years ago, "and no one had ever changed levels before, so it was the most challenging for us then." As for covering vanishing-edge pools, he says it's "a little intimidating at first, but once you figure out the procedures, it's OK. … I like to say it's kind of an art and a science."
Factoring in the factors
Of course, various factors can affect cover installs and it really depends on the pool, but two common considerations are pool shape and obstructions.
Dave Kramer says Xenia, Ohio-based Knickerbocker Pools "... allows the cover to follow the curves. There would be a lot of wear on the cover if we put a lot of [it] on the deck," he says, referring to rectangular covers that are wider on the sides and glide over the water along the deck track, regardless of the pool's form. "I use the A-B plot program, which is a fairly simple software," adds Kramer, general manager.
Still, he notes that most of his company's installs are on rectangular pools. Two or three times a year, they have to cover around a landscaped waterfall, Kramer says. But when a waterfall is in the mix, he says you must try to figure out how to still safely cover the pool. "You don't want to allow access to the pool, but you don't want to damage the waterfeature either, so we take measurements and triangulate. Now, if it's a loose waterfall, where they're going for the natural look and just stacking up rocks, I can't secure anything to it. If the feature is concrete or there's mortaring in the falls, you can use eye hooks and strings; you can attach to it because you have a stable surface."
Parsons points out that if a pool has a waterfall, you must put in sensors so there's no chance the falls will activate when the cover's on the pool. Auto-stop sensors shut off or turn on waterfeatures when a cover is closing or opening.
Meanwhile, Pauza in Illinois says the area is flat, so there aren't many issues. Still, she reports that pool shape can cause installation difficulties, though most recently, Cardinal Pool has set its sights on a project where dealing with obstructions will be a top priority. As she explains, "We have made a proposal [that] we think will succeed, for a 30-year-old oval pool with obstructions. It's a new homeowner who wants to update. [The pool] doesn't have a hinged ladder and railing that move, and it's created a lot of drama."
Sometimes deck surface considerations also might come into play because it will affect the drilling of holes for cover anchors. If, say, it's paver or stone instead of concrete, you must be more careful and use newer drill bits so as not to affect the surface adversely, notes Kramer, whose company installs mostly anchored mesh safety covers, as well as automatic safety covers.
What if?
It's one thing when your company builds the pool with a cover in mind. What happens if you're asked to retrofit an existing pool, or repair a cover already on a pool?
Neptune will go out on calls to add covers to pools not of its own making. But not every pool is a candidate for a cover, Parsons says. He tells of a case where a homeowner wanted an automatic cover, but due to a narrow deck and rock wall, it was only possible to cover three-fourths of the pool. Parsons would have had to install a flap and anchor on the rest. If the homeowner neglected to latch the flap, the pool would be accessible to children and pets.
Neptune turned down the job for liability reasons.
Callahan agrees that if an owner decides to add a cover after the fact, it might not be possible due to problematic obstructions. "That being said, during construction, if they'll involve us, the homeowner can have the cool construction features [and a cover]."
Workmanship issues may enter into the equation for retrofits, but they can still be do-able. "We do diagonal [measurements] and the like if we find things [on the pool] that aren't square, and the manufacturer will make the cover to the shape of the pool," Kramer notes.
But for a unique cover repair story, Neptune's is hard to beat. Recently Parsons went out to work on a cover that has been on a pool since 1974. "It's Model 1, the first ever made by Pool Cover Specialists," he notes. "It's worked 40 years! We updated the fabric, put in a new guide system, new pulley, new motor. It's a rectangle pool, 17-by-38-feet." He says it's not easy to work on a system so old, though "it will probably be on the pool another 40 years — but I won't be going out to update it!"

Chess Middlegame PlanningProduct Code: B0004AC
Every chessplayer hopes to make brilliant moves which will overcome the opponent in a blaze of glory. But such combinations come into being only as a result of proper planning, as demonstrated in Chess Middlegame Planning. The lucid and penetrating analysis of the games in this volume demonstrate the imagination and creativity necessary for proper handling of the central stage of the game. The discussions of the stages of a plan, the significance of the center, proper play with "hanging" pawns, and the significance of the two bishops are of enormous, practical value.
International Grandmaster Kotov called Chess Middlegame Planning "one of the best books in the world's chess literature" and affirms that in it Master Romanovsky teaches "not only the fine ideas of modern technique, but the evolution of chess ideas and the history of the game.

VE-Cadherin (D87F2) XP® Rabbit mAb (PE Conjugate) recognizes endogenous levels of total VE-cadherin protein. The antibody does not cross-react with other cadherin family proteins.Species Reactivity: Human, D. melanogaster, Bovine, Pig
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human VE-cadherin protein.
This Cell Signaling Technology antibody is conjugated to phycoerythrin (PE) and tested in-house for direct flow cytometry analysis in human cells. This antibody is expected to exhibit the same species cross-reactivity as the unconjugated VE-Cadherin (D87F2) XP® Rabbit mAb #2500.
Cadherins are a superfamily of transmembrane glycoproteins that contain cadherin repeats of approximately 100 residues in their extracellular domain. Cadherins mediate calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion and play critical roles in normal tissue development (1). The classic cadherin subfamily includes N-, P-, R-, B-, and E-cadherins, as well as about ten other members that are found in adherens junctions, a cellular structure near the apical surface of polarized epithelial cells. The cytoplasmic domain of classical cadherins interacts with β-catenin, γ-catenin (also called plakoglobin), and p120 catenin. β-catenin and γ-catenin associate with α-catenin, which links the cadherin-catenin complex to the actin cytoskeleton (1,2). While β- and γ-catenin play structural roles in the junctional complex, p120 regulates cadherin adhesive activity and trafficking (1-4). Investigators consider E-cadherin an active suppressor of invasion and growth of many epithelial cancers (1-3). Research studies indicate that cancer cells have up-regulated N-cadherin in addition to loss of E-cadherin. This change in cadherin expression is called the "cadherin switch". N-cadherin cooperates with the FGF receptor, leading to overexpression of MMP-9 and cellular invasion (3). Research studies have shown that in endothelial cells, VE-cadherin signaling, expression, and localization correlate with vascular permeability and tumor angiogenesis (5,6). Investigators have also demonstrated that expression of P-cadherin, which is normally present in epithelial cells, is also altered in ovarian and other human cancers (7,8).

Sequoia Healthcare District continues support of Planned Parenthod
Original post made by Jack Hickey, Woodside: Emerald Hills, on Jan 8, 2013
While I personally don't support Planned Parenthood, I have friends who do.
The Sequoia Healthcare District, on whose Board I serve, has provided $100's of thousands in Grants to Planned Parenthood using property tax dollars originally assessed to build operate and maintain Sequoia Hospital. They have a $30,000 Grant for Planned Parenthood in this years budget. They have budgeted a total $1,340,000 for all nonprofits in their Caring Community Grants Program. Web Link They continue to provide $millions in support annually to Sequoia Hospital which they no longer own.
The Sequoia Healthcare District must be dissolved.

Doesn't something like 97% of Planned Parenthood funds go for healthcare, predominantly women's healthcare?
So we have yet another man who knows what's best for women.

Katy, if you choose to support an organization which was responsible for 333,964 abortions in 2011 you have to live with that. I choose to support First Resort. Web Link
The issue here is whether the Sequoia Healthcare District should be using property tax dollars, originally assessed to build operate and maintain Sequoia Hospital, to support either of those organizations. As a Member of the Board of Directors for the past ten years, I have never suggested that the District should support my favorite charities. What they are doing is engaging in pseudo-philanthropy which was never intended by voters when they established the Sequoia Hospital District in 1946.

First resort lies to women, uses stalling tactics when they are at their most vulnerable; while they may do some good, their reprehensible tactics are repugnant to many. Essentially, they lie about offering abortion services. Significant legal action has resulted, along with laws to protect women from those lies.
Planned Parenthood -- 97% of their services are not about terminations: AFFILIATE MEDICAL SERVICES SUMMARY
- cancer screening and prevention (14.5 percent)
- STD testing for both men and women (38 percent)
- contraception (33.5 percent)
- other: tests and other pre-natal (10.4)
About 80 percent of Planned Parenthood's users are over age 20, and 75 percent have incomes below 150 percent of the poverty line. Planned Parenthood itself estimates it prevents more than 620,000 unintended pregnancies each year, and 220,000 abortions. It's also worth noting that federal law already forbids Planned Parenthood from using the funds it receives from the government for abortions.
Teen pregnancy rates are at an all time low. I'm sure that disappoints the few 'barefoot & pregnant' Neanderthals still out there, but that's too bad, isn't it?
Empowering women starts with reproductive rights.
Pick a fight with women and PP, Jack. See how well that worked out for Mitt Romney, Koman and others.

First Resort and their lies...
"Crisis pregnancy centers seek to dissuade women and girls from seeking abortions by walking them through alternative options, such as adoption. Not all of them are up front about their motives, and their indirection can delay a woman's decision-making until emergency contraceptives are no longer effective or until an abortion is illegal. There are obviously a range of approaches that these centers use; in the worst cases, a 2006 Congressional investigation found that centers led women to believe the falsehoods that abortion is linked to breast cancer, high rate of future infertility, and psychological effects akin to PTSD.
The activities of First Resort appeared to San Francisco city officials to occupy the more duplicitous end of this spectrum. San Francisco's city attorney says the non-profit center has paid to be the first Google result when a person searches for "abortion San Francisco." Although First Resort's website includes "pre and post abortion counseling" among its services, lists abortion as an option for unwanted pregnancy, and features a testimonial from a client who chose to have an abortion, First Resort CEO Shari Plunkett says the primary reason for its existence is to prevent abortions. And, crucially, nowhere on its website does First Resort disclose that it does not offer abortions or referrals to abortion providers. Omissions like these are at the core of the claim that the center misleads through false advertising."
Empowering women starts with reproductive rights.

The issue is; "Should the Sequoia Healthcare District use tax dollars, originally assessed to build operate and maintain Sequoia Hospital, to support charitable organizations?" Whether it is St. Anthony de Padua Dining Room, Planned parenthood, First Resort, etc. is irrelevant.
As for my choice of First Resort, I provided a web link to their site. It is left to the reader to decide if they are deserving of your support.

Jack: get real, you started out with an attack on Planned Parenthood. You led with "A story published in today's Daily Post stated that "Planned Parenthood, in its annual report, says it performed 333,964 abortions in 2011, a record year for the nonprofit."
You then hyped the reprehensible First Choice.
Suddenly, now you want it to be all about your pet peeve, some district thing.
Must be hard to get all those worms back in your can...
Besides a woman's reproductive freedom, what other issues set you out of the mainstream?

Title of this topic:
"Sequoia Healthcare District continues support of Planned Parenthod"
Planned Parenthood just happened to be the "poster child of the day".
I refrained from the use of terms like "reprehensible" to describe what Planned Parenthood has done because I realize that some people are comfortable with what they do.
Why don't you help get rid of the Sequoia Healthcare District? Read some of my other topics on the subject in this forum. Take my survey. Web Link

Why, thank you, Jack, I did notice both the title and body of your topic. Perhaps that's why I pointed out your opening sentence.
Play possum as you like, about your leading line, as well as the reprehensible First Choice.
Keep tilting at your windmill, as well. Leave women's health and reproductive choice out of it, or risk alienating some who possibly may otherwise view your odd crusade in a positive light.

What were the best? What were the worst? In my opinion there was a lot of both. In the dance competition I think I lost count by the second group of ODs.
Anyways my picks for the Shiny Hangers:
Sasha's revamped R&J dress - that color was so striking on her! It was a big improvement over the, still beauiful, gold dress she had earlier this season.
Matt Savoie's SP - classic, simple, and elegant
Fumie Suguri LP [can't find a picture- sorry!]
Rusty Hangers:
Stephane Lambiel LP
Carolina Kostner SP- I refuse to believe that Roberto Cavalli designed both of her dresses
Elene Gedevanishvili LP [again, sorry, no picture]
Miki Ando SP and LP- most unflattering dresses I've ever seen

|ACS 2007-3yr Summary File: Technical Documentation -> Appendix B. Subject Definitions -> Population Variables -> Household Type and Relationship
A household includes all the people who occupy a housing unit. (People not living in households are classified as living in group quarters.) A housing unit is a house, an apartment, a mobile home, a group of rooms, or a single room that is occupied (or if vacant, is intended for occupancy) as separate living quarters. Separate living quarters are those in which the occupants live separately from any other people in the building and which have direct access from the outside of the building or through a common hall. The occupants may be a single family, one person living alone, two or more families living together, or any other group of related or unrelated people who share living arrangements.
Average Household Size
A measure obtained by dividing the number of people in households by the number of households. In cases where people in households are cross-classified by race or Hispanic origin, people in the household are classified by the race or Hispanic origin of the householder rather than the race or Hispanic origin of each individual. Average household size is rounded to the nearest hundredth.

|ACS 2007-3yr Summary File: Technical Documentation -> Appendix B. Subject Definitions -> Housing Variables -> Units in Structure
The data on units in structure (also referred to as "type of structure") were obtained from Housing Question 1 in the 2007 American Community Survey. The question was asked at occupied and vacant housing units. A structure is a separate building that either has open spaces on all sides or is separated from other structures by dividing walls that extend from ground to roof. In determining the number of units in a structure, all housing units, both occupied and vacant, are counted. Stores and office space are excluded. The data are presented for the number of housing units in structures of specified type and size, not for the number of residential buildings.
Mobile Home
Both occupied and vacant mobile homes to which no permanent rooms have been added are counted in this category. Mobile homes used only for business purposes or for extra sleeping space and mobile homes for sale on a dealer's lot, at the factory, or in storage are not counted in the housing inventory.
1-Unit, Detached
This is a 1-unit structure detached from any other house, that is, with open space on all four sides. Such structures are considered detached even if they have an adjoining shed or garage. A one-family house that contains a business is considered detached as long as the building has open space on all four sides. Mobile homes to which one or more permanent rooms have been added or built also are included.
1-Unit, Attached
This is a 1-unit structure that has one or more walls extending from ground to roof separating it from adjoining structures. In row houses (sometimes called townhouses), double houses, or houses attached to nonresidential structures, each house is a separate, attached structure if the dividing or common wall goes from ground to roof.
2 or More Apartments
These are units in structures containing 2 or more housing units, further categorized as units in structures with 2, 3 or 4, 5 to 9, 10 to 19, 20 to 49, and 50 or more apartments.
Boat, RV, Van, Etc.
This category is for any living quarters occupied as a housing unit that does not fit the previous categories. Examples that fit this category are houseboats, railroad cars, campers, and vans. Recreational vehicles, boats, vans, tents, railroad cars, and the like are included only if they are occupied as someone's current place of residence.
Question/Concept History
The 1996-1998 American Community Survey question provided the response category, "a mobile home or trailer." Starting in 1999, the ACS response category dropped "or trailer" to read as "a mobile home."

I am new here because this is the first time my truck (2005 [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]Silverado [COLOR=blue ! important]1500[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]) has failed me. I searched the forum but didn't find my specific problem. The left turn signal has stopped working via the turn signal lever or the hazzard switch. I have swapped fuses and bulbs from left to right (only turn signal bulbs) and the left side still fails. Am I looking at the steering column lever or hazzard switch problem or something else? I am off to buy a repair manual. Thanks in advance for any help. Jeff

Three school employees arrested on drug charges
EL PASO, Texas - Three employees from three separate schools are facing drug charges, according to a Drug Enforcement Administration spokesperson.
ABC-7 first reported the arrest of 62-year-old Michael Beltran Saturday night.
Beltran is a coach at Cathedral High School. He was arrested on possession of cocaine charges this weekend, according to El Paso County Sheriff's Office jail records.
DEA agents working with sheriff's deputies also arrested two other school employees Thursday, officials said.
Raul Gomez, 58, and Joe Paul Solis, 43, were arrested on similar charges related to drug possession, the DEA spokesperson said.
The ABC-7 investigative team discovered Gomez is a coach at Del Valle High School.
Solis is a counselor at Frank Macias Elementary School.
"The District will take appropriate action in accordance with district policy once the matter is carefully reviewed," Clint ISD spokeswoman Laura Cade said regarding Solis' arrest.
No word yet on whether the three arrests are related.

10 gallon on the cheap...
Keep your desk lamp - or get a desk lamp that looks nicer. Way cheaper than any aquarium lighting system. And replacement bulbs will be easy to find as well. A 10 is pretty small, and it's really easy to overdo the lighting, which will likely mean algae battles.
I've never used eco complete, but if you've got it, use it. If it's not the right color your looking for then just cap it with sand.
If your looking for low maintenance plants - go with anubias, java fern, mosses are great too.
With a pH like that, use driftwood, or maybe even peat in your substrate.
How much are you wanting to spend on lighting? Honestly, I do find that the RayII lights are relatively inexpensive for what they can do for you. Anyways, what I would do for substrate is organic potting mix capped with whatever your heart desires. I really like these soil tanks with hi light because they get everything going strong real fast. I didn't even bother dosing for the first few months, and I only dose super minimally now, and still I have way more plant growth than I know what to do with.
As far as plants, that also depends upon your budget and how much trimming you want to do. Things like wisteria and now Rotala wallichi are growing out of my ears (and out of my tank......skipped trimming this week :O) and I have glosso just everywhere.
HC would totally grow fine for you, though I might say stay away from DHG just because it really needs to be trimmed once it gets going, otherwise even the belem looks a little taller than I personally like
I would, personally, try and get whatever plants that you find attractive but that you can also sell trimmings of easily. For me, I know I want a ton of different Ludwigia and Rotala and other fancy stems in my 10 gallon, and whatever less common plants I can find.
Just two things:
1. Make sure that light levels (PAR levels) are high enough to make use of your CO2 and regular ferting.
2. Eco-complete - heck even pool sand will do so as long as you're using root tabs and ferting the column (both of which you mentioned).
Other than that, I think you're set.
|Someone? Anyone? No recommendations at all, and 71 views?
Well looky here... wanting recommendations for possibly high tech tank
Hey all!
I'm tearing down my other 10 gallon for the holidays to lessen work on my tanks, so I can focus more on my CRS project (See my latest build thread), and so I can start afresh.
By start afresh, I mean start over. Almost completely. The tank has become consumed by algae, and water quality is declining. It is so bad I would feel ashamed to even share a picture.
Therefore, I am tearing the tank down and throwing away every plant in there. The substrate isn't nearly deep enough, with no nutrients, filled with poo and detritus, and clouding the water. The lighting system is not doing its job, just growing an algae farm. Fertilizers have been neglected for some time, so no extra nutrients have been available. This is awful, and I am embarrassed that the only way to fix these problems is to start over.
Alrighty, now that you know what I'm getting into, down to business!
Tank: This is a standard 10 gallon black rimmed tank, the one you find everywhere. No scratches, in very good condition.
Lighting: Right now, a full spectrum desk lamp, 6,500k, 27w one. I really, really want to get a better light, but I am not going to break the bank purchasing a schnazzy, with-all-the-bells-and-whistles Finnex, Fugeray, ADA, or FishNeedIt fixture. I just want sufficient, sustainable, reliable lighting that fits my ever-tightening budget.
Substrate: As before, I do not want to spend oodles of cash getting any special stuff, so don't you dare recommend ADA Aquasoil or UP Aqua stuff. I was planning on using barely used Eco-Complete that needs a use. Got any ideas?
Planning on starting once again with N,P,K, and Micros dry ferts that I have in abundance. Root tabs are in plenty, and it variety. Recommend whatever you like regarding this subject.
Carbon Dioxide injection: I have a 24 ounce C02 tank waiting to be refilled. I have a paintball system (ASA On/Off valve system) to go with it. I have drop checker with fluid, bubble counter, C02 tubing, glass diffuser, the works. Please do not recommend a regulator, unless you know someone who is giving one away.
Fish/Invertebrates: Only a male veintail betta will inhabit this tank. Due to the fact that I will be dosing ferts containing copper and injecting C02, no shrimp will be able to survive.
Plants: Here's the best thing! I truthfully don't care what goes in the tank, recommend anything you think a guy just gettin' into high tech would be able to keep alive! I would like to get a pretty foreground plant, either HC or Dwarf Hairgrass. Other than that, recommend away!!
pH is around 8.0 usually, kinda an important fact lol.
Thanks guys!

New Bend market is all about local products
Central Oregon Locavore expands to retail store
BEND, Ore. - Buying local -- it's a way to support your neighbors and promote sustainable living. Here in Central Oregon, it just got a little easier.
Once just a popular local Web address, Central Oregon Locavore now has a Bend postal address. The online marketplace is now a year-round farmers market at 1216 NE Fiirst St.
"Last spring, we realized that there was a huge need for something like this," said Locavore President Nicolle Timm. "The customers who were ordering online basically begged us to get a store."
The business turned non-profit turned to an online fundraising program known as Kickstarter to make their customers wishes come true.
'We did end up succeeding, and got $10,000 to put into the store," said Timm. "So then we looked for about six months, and we finally found this space, knew it was the right one and moved forward."
The new farmers market offers a range of products from homemade soap to fresh produce -- something Fields Farm owner Jim Fields says is already helping his business.
"It gives us another outlet for what we grow," Fields said. "We don't want to travel over the mountains to a valley market to sell our product."
The marketplace is also an outlet for events and community support, thanks to its event space.
A St. Charles program has already taken advantage, with a "Mommy and Me" support group meeting there Thursdays from 1 to 3.
"We're just really thankful that we have this space and the moms are so happy here," said St. Charles Lactation Consultant, Rebecca McColl. "It's been a great help to many people in the community. Its not much more local than mom's milk."
Timm says her ultimate goal with the new space is to promote local farming and educate the community about local food, and sustainable living.
"More then anything you're supporting your neighbor," said Timm. "These are people we know and see everyday in the community. We're able to help them make a better living and create better products."
Timm says if you can't find what you want in the store, they will continue the online market at www.centraloregonlocavore.com, with pickups at the farmers market every other Thursday from 4 to 6.

OT; I don't think that would work and levels would give more content and also not everyone plays for the sake of the lore so... Yeah, I don't think it will work.
Why do the heirlooms only have to last one expansion? Just cause they say 100 doesn't mean next expansion will be 100, it could last over the next two expansions?
I don't see the relation between these things.

No problem at all. Would be interesting to play a game without "leveling"

Wrath also had much much more in terms of quests.
quests = content.

There's nothing to read. You never gave any explanation why there would be no leveling or why it wouldn't be needed.

Quests = content but not levels. Levels are received by experience which can easily be adjusted. If they wanted you to get 10 levels out of the number of quests in Cataclysm, they could have easily just halved the amount of experience required for each level or doubled the amount of experience per quest.


text: So it's been about a year since I've posted on here and I have never done a build up SO! Let me introduce you to my baby. I can not find the day I first received her but she was fully stock. Yes, yes it was given to me by my parents while in high school. Spoiled? No. Thankful? YES very much so! Day 1: Level Kit (not actual photo of her but it is how she sat that day, pic below was a few months back in Jackson) After a year I felt like it was time for a change. 285-65-18 Trail Grapplers on Victory wheels (stock offset) 3" magnaflow exhaust "cat back" style..it's a race muffler is all. UWS low profile tool box (no more stolen tools while on jobs!) Little here and there things, no need to list.. Then I went to stock wheels on the same tires as above. Sorry she's dirty, went hunting that morning. Then a friend wanted to try out the Trail Graps so I rolled on these things for two days, 275-75?-17 BFG T/A's on Xd Addicts. Too much off set couldn't stand not being able to turn! This January I decided it needed some change again so I ordered new tires and wheels again. Went with a set of 275-70-18 Terra Grapplers on Xd Bombs (stock offset again) Also this was taken the day I got her back from the shop. Of course I had the motor with all three criterias causing it to burn oil, afm, all aluminum block, and an '09...just my luck. So now we have a practically new motor! So I'm still young right? I've never liked lifted trucks since I worked on them since I was 14 at my cousin's shop, but I broke down and we threw together a "mutt" lift. I was skeptical of doing all this since I'm still under most of the warranty since she only has 46k on her now(1700 on new motor warranty), but oh well they don't cover much plus my dealer said to do as I pleased and they gave me the "ok" to go for it. - - - Updated - - - And here is how she sits as of yesterday! Lovely! 35-12.5-18 Trail Grapplers on the Xd Bombs as before. Rubbing or cutting? HECK NO they clear! 6 inch lift with pre-load spacers on the front struts to prevent cutting of the fenders.
