The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
During his first US Senate campaign, Rick Santorum warned voters of a growing menace that was "breeding more criminals" and threatened to destroy America from within: single mothers.
"Most people agree a continuation of the current [welfare] system will be the ruination of this country," Santorum told a town meeting in Clairton, Pa., in February 1994, according to transcripts of the appearance obtained by Mother Jones. "We are seeing it. We are seeing the fabric of this country fall apart, and it's falling apart because of single moms."
Santorum, who often trumpets his role in pushing through landmark welfare reform during stump speeches and debates, made the federal program a centerpiece of his 1994 race against incumbent Sen. Harris Wofford (D-Penn.). At his Clairton town hall, Santorum came prepared with a prop—a poster-size chart tracking the increase in the welfare rolls since 1965, alongside the increase in children who were born out of wedlock.
"Open up the current periodicals—study after study, article after article, children having children is destroying the fabric of our country," Santorum said. "If you want to close your eyes to it, if you don't care about it, if you don't want to solve it, if you want to continue the system, to let people stay and spiral—go ahead. Not with me." Single mothers, Santorum argued, needed politicians who weren't afraid of "kicking them in the butt."
It wasn't just a matter of cutting government spending and playing life coach, though. One month later, at an appearance in Erie, Pa., Santorum framed welfare reform as a public safety issue. "What we have is moms raising children in single-parent households simply breeding more criminals," he said. When Santorum wasn't comparing single mothers to animals, he still pressed the issue of out-of-wedlock births and crime. He told the Philadelphia Inquirer in 1994 that "we will never solve the crime problem unless we solve the welfare problem. They are deeply intertwined." (Santorum spokesman Hogan Gidley did not respond to a request for comment.)
Santorum, who as a second-term congressman described his views as "moderate," made single mothers a focal point of his welfare policy. He introduced legislation that would have required single mothers who had been on welfare for more than two years to work at least 35 hours a week in order to receive benefits. They would also be denied benefits if they could not identify their child's father. "If they don't give the name, they don't get any welfare," Santorum told the Inquirer. Under his plan, which did not pass Congress, unwed teen mothers would not be eligible for welfare at all.
The solution to poverty, crime, and moral decay, he insisted, was to turn off the money spigots. "We have programs right now that pay children to have children," he explained on the CNN's Crossfire in 1994.
It wasn't just single moms that came under assault from Santorum. He told his audience in Clairton that the welfare program's ballooning costs were also due to "aliens," "drug addicts," and children "who have learning disabilities" as well. Santorum went on to suggest that cases of attention deficit disorder were being faked to bilk the government. "[Y]ou have a lot of testimony indicating that parents are coaching their children to stay in that situation in order to receive benefits," he said.
Santorum has since toned down his broadsides against single mothers (if only slightly), but he's singled them out during his presidential campaign. In October he told Family Research Council president Tony Perkins that single moms are "the political base of the Democratic party." He continued, "Why? Because it's so tough economically that they look to the government for help and therefore they're going to vote. So if you want to reduce the Democratic advantage, what you want to do is build two-parent families; you eliminate that desire for government."
In an effort to encourage people to get married, Santorum has proposed eliminating head-of-household exemptions for unmarried parents, while tripling their value for married parents. "We shouldn't have incentives for people not to be married," he said in October.
Even in his early years in Washington, Santorum conceded his rhetoric—and his policies—wouldn't go over well with some audiences. "This approach can be described as 'tough love,'" he said of his welfare reform proposal in 1996. "But the operative word is 'love.'" He just had an odd way of showing it.

Redguard or Blue Seal?
I intend to put on a liquid membrane on the plywood floor before laying marble stones in the bathroom.
I saw two products in HD: Redguard and Blue Seal for that purpose.
they both claim for waterproofing...
However, Blue Seal is half the price of Redguard...
Anyone can comment on which is the product to use for this purpose?
Hold up here. Are you saying you will be putting the marble right on top of the plywood, no sheet membrane, no cement board?:no:
yes but...
my situation is I have a drycore type subflooring against concrete basement floor... so the plywood is very steady, no movement...
so I guess I am ok to put marble directly on the plywood... Right?
I still have time ... I haven't done anything yet... except pour one can of SLC to fill an unlevel spot....
and I intend to use Regguard or Blue Seal as sheet/liquid membrane...
I am not familiar with this dricore system but I just looked at their website. Their website says "Ideal for carpet or floating floors such as laminate or floating engineered hardwood flooring."
There installation instructions say the following
It sounds to me that they want you to use a layer of plywood, then and acceptable underlayment for tile such as cement board or a sheet membrane like ditra. Did you follow the above instructions for installing the dricore?
I didn't use the product dricore,it is way too expensive, instead I used somthing similar... I purchase those thick plastic, on top put pine wood (bathroom) or OSB board (elsewhere)...
for the bathroom I tapcon everywhere ensuring the plywood don't move a bit...
so I think in terms of floor movement I am good....
And I also noticing as I re-read this info that thes instructions are for ceramic tile. You are installing natural stone. I would contact dricore to find out if you can do this, and if so exactly what you need to do.
the product I used is not Dricore, Dricore is floating... mine is not... actually I found the website what I used:
I am not familiar with this product. I would however use a sheet membrane like ditra or use cement board over the plywood, instead of redgard. It sounds like this is already a waterproofing system so the redgard makes no sense anyway. Perhaps someone else here has some experience with this stuff.
redguard try to protect the plywood under the tiles from rotting.... ditra is good but it increase height of the flooring which make it not flush with outside bathroom flooring which I do not like...
Ditra will isolate the movement of the plywood substrate from the tile much better than redgard will. The height is minimal. If you are going to install tile, you have to expect that the height will be a little different. Not the end of the world.
I hope somebody else chimes in here as well.
I used ditel anyway
in the weekend after thinking it over and over again... and this redguard is so expensive anyway.... not too much different than ditel....
anyhow... after installation... I agree, the height is very minimum...
installers swear by redguard and ditra both.
Can I ask a question? Why cant you just use thinset on your concrete floor? Why all this complicated subfloor stuff? I assume some major cracking or heaving of the concrete?
That is a good question... and the answer is... I didn't plan ahead when doing the dricore stuff... I thought keeping the whole basement same subflooring will be nice...
but now that it is finished (marbling)... I don't think it is too bad... the marble is strong and stable and I got good peace of mind that my flooring is really isolated from the concrete...
kind of getting all the goodies: dricore stuff and marble stuff....
concrete moves.
so an anti fracture membrane will help keep it from affecting the tile.

My Website: WebsiteMy MM URL: http://www.modelmayhem.com/HFranklinPhoto
Mayhem # 2601689
About MeI am currently working as a wedding and portrait photographer in Florida.
Currently I am working on a bridal portfolio comprised of soft, dreamlike imagery that focuses on emotion. I am also always putting together creative wedding inspiration shoots for magazine and blog submissions. Starting this summer, I will be working on a "Mermaids" portfolio which will consist of dark and dreamy portraits of women on the beach and surrounding area. If you are interested in being a part of any of my projects, I would love to hear from you.
I like to work with professional models who are on time and up for anything. I would also love to work with clothing designers who have a girly and vintage-y style.
I love to feel an image. You know what I mean, when you can breathe in the moment, feel the subject touch your soul, smell the rain pouring down in the photograph. To me, a photograph is about sharing that moment and everything that moment made you feel when you lived it. You capture it and allow others to experience it too. This is what I strive to do. This is what I love to do.
If all this photography "from the heart" stuff doesn't do it for you, I am also a very planned and professional individual with an artistic quirkiness. I am creative and technical at the same time. I like to work with a plan, but can completely change everything in an instant if the moment calls for it. Most of my favorite photographs were those particular moments that happened in-between what was planned.
I also work with hair stylists and makeup artist for most shoots, but I am able to do these things myself if I need to (being the child of a hair stylist has it's perks). Finally, I know who I am. I know the kind of images I want to make and I have the technical knowledge on how to make them. I am educated, but am constantly pushing myself to learn from others. I have that passion and drive, plus I think I'm a pretty awesome person to hang out with ;)
When I have projects, the first place I go is to my friends list before browsing for new models. If I have sent you a friend request it is because I am interested in working with you in the near future or am inspired by your amazing work and wish to follow it as new work is created. I assume that all friended requests sent to me are for those very same reasons.
I prefer to be contacted via Model Mayhem messaging. That way, I can keep it all in one place as my email is a madhouse of everything happening all at once. If you message me here, I will get back to you.

Before I wax poetic about this Dijon roast chicken, let me just say this: I love Sunday evening supper. I usually make something that needs to cook slowly and lovingly, something that I wouldn't have the time to make during the mad rush that is MondayTuesdayWednesdayThursday. Not that I don't have lots of delicious weeknight ideas, but there's something about Sundays, and so when I come up with something that can be made on a Thursday schedule with Sunday flavors, I definitely feel like I have beaten the system. That's how things are with this scrumptious roast chicken dinner.
You start by searing bone-in chicken breasts in a frying pan just long enough to get them nice and browned, about 10 minutes. In the meantime, mix up a quick sauce of Dijon mustard and poultry seasoning, and chop up a few onions and carrots…for this recipe I like getting large sweet onions. Once the chicken is browned, spread the mustard sauce over it and pop it in a roasting pan with the veggies. Now roast it for about 40 minutes. Your chicken will be tender and juicy and the veggies will have a lovely half soft and half crispy texture.
Sprinkle some chopped parsley on top and grind some pepper over the whole thing and voila! Sunday dinner on Thursday. Or Wednesday. Or even on a Sunday where you want to spend a little less time in the kitchen. It's like having your cake and eating it too. Or your chicken. You get my general drift…
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 4 bone-in chicken breast halves
- 3 cups carrots, peeled and cut into one inch pieces
- 2 large sweet onions, peeled and quartered
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- Freshly ground pepper
- Preheat oven to 475.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sear the chicken breasts until brown, about 5 minutes per side.
- Meanwhile, stir poultry seasoning into mustard. When chicken is browned, brush the skin sides with the mustard mixture and place in heavy roasting pan.
- Toss vegetables with remaining olive oil, salt and pepper and add to pan. Roast for 40 minutes.
- Transfer chicken and vegetables to serving platter or individual dishes. Garnish with parsley, grind pepper on top and serve.

Passport BMW5000 Auth Way Marlow Heights , Maryland USA
Passport BMW Did not fixed my car correctly and made it worst because I complained to GM Marlow Heights Maryland
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I am writing this letter to inform you how dissatisfied I Jamilah Walker am with the service that I received from Passport BMW in Marlow Heights Maryland and I am sure that I am not the only one that would say this. My issues, frustration and being taking advantage of all started on January 3, 2014 with my BMW 645i being taken to Passport BMW due to my transmission malfunction light and engine light intermittently coming on at times. I then took my 645i BMW to Passport BMW on January 6th 2014. I explained to the intake service representative Patrick Mederos what the issues are with my car. The service technician ran a diagnostic test on my car and informed me that the software needed to be updated which he recommended it to be updated. I was also told that the coolant warning light illuminating due to leak coming from expansion tank. Expansion tank needs to be replaced and that is what was triggering the engine light to come on. I was also told the vacuum pump is beginning to leak but this was not something that immediately needed to be replaced sometime it takes 2 years before needing to be replaced. I was also informed that no permanent failures stored for the transmission, the technician thoroughly checked out the transmission to ensure there are no problems with it. The transmission is ok, nothing wrong with it. No transmission fluid leaking. That was all that was found wrong with my car at the time. I agreed to have the system updated due to him stating that this is the issue with the light coming because the system had not been updated since 2008. Following his recommendations, I had the software updated and the vacuum pump fixed at the time. I was also informed me that a 21 point inspection was performed in addition to ensure the issues of my car per Patrick Mederos.
After my car was in the shop for approximately over 1 week, I responded in to pick up my car and discovered that several other things were done to my vehicle without my consent including changing my left rear tire and lying on the paperwork that I refused an alignment which put my safety at risk due to my car shaking badly. I never refused an alignment because I never authorized my tire to be changed I informed Patrick Mederous that I would get the main work completed and come back to have the additional work completed. However, this caused me stress when leaving the service center because I felt that something would happen to my car after so many complaints. Approximately over 1 week later, I drove my car a few times putting very little miles on it. I then noticed my car still was not riding as usual and the engine light came on which it had in the pass. I contacted Patrick which he informed me to bring the car back in. He ran another Diagnostic Test on it. He informed me that the Crank Shaft Valve was cracked. He recommended me getting it fixed. This caused me more stress and I had to get my Boyfriend (Mr. Atkins) to contact Fred The service Manager on my behalf to try come to a compromise on getting this fixed. Mr. Fred's conduct was unprofessional and which he made some inappropriate comments. This caused me to personally take time from my schedule to come and meet The GM (Joe Long) to discuss the aforementioned issues. Mr. Long who is the GM was very professional and assured me that he would look into the matter. He contacted my boyfriend and me very quickly and we were able to compromise on the cost to get the Crank Shaft Valve repaired because this was another issue that came about which should have been caught during the diagnostic. This relieved the issues to my satisfaction at that time.
Once the work was completed I picked up my car after being in the shop for approximately over 1 week again. As I drove off the lot, I was wondering if my car was going to have more issues due to the level of complaining that was done. I wanted to have faith and trust in BMW's skilled Mechanics that they properly diagnosed and fixed the problem but I was skeptical for various reasons. I drove my car with no long distance traveling. On average, I may put approximately less than 30 to 40 miles on my car per day. Approximately 1 week later, I noticed my Transmission light coming on again. This caused me more stress and I started to cry out of frustration because I felt this would happen because I complained and the service manager Fred Gelinzky got fired for his action. I called my boyfriend and told him this is too much for me to handle because my car's transmission light came on again. He calmed me down and told me to contact Patrick. Patrick told me to bring the car in and he ran another diagnostic test on it. My car had been in the shop for over one week and once again and he contacted me on Tuesday February 18th 2014. He informed me of more bad news which was very hard to accept. I was told that the diagnostics test showed that my transmission needed to be replaced and it would cost over $6500 from the same issue that I was having from day one when my car was brought there.I am outraged that I was informed about this. My car had been in and out of the shop since approximately January 6th, 2014.
Approximately 50 days had lapse since January 3rd 2014. My car was in my possession approximately 22 days and Passport BMW had my car at the shop for the other remaining days. This had caused unnecessary stress on me and a financial burden of approximately 1000.00 being paid within that time on my car repairs recommended by the BMW Staff. I have done my part as a customer to report these issues and it seems to get worse for me. I feel that I have been a victim since I complained about my car being in and out of the shop for the same reasons and because the service manager got fired for his actions which were not the first time he has behaved like this to other customers per Mr. Long. Patrick had informed me that The New Service Manager Joey requested assistance for a "Good Will" from BMW of North America to step in and help me due to my car being in and out of the shop for the same issues and because they did not perform good service on my car and the complaints that I have because I was told that my car transmission was ok but now after complaining it needs to be replaced is appalling.
I am pleading and respectfully requesting that BMW of North America step in and handle this matter on my behalf at no cost to me due to the multiple times my car had been in the shop within a short period of time with the same issues that were previously reported. Here are the facts. My car had been in and out of the shop within a short period of time since January 3rd, 2014 thru Feb 13, 2014 for the same issue but every time I bring it back they find a new issue that was not there when they performed the diagnostics. My car had been driven very short distances and very little miles were put on it after picked up from the shop and me being told that nothing is wrong with my transmission. I followed the Technicians recommendations at Passport BMW. I incurred a considerable amount of loss in currency, loss of time from work, loss of time from school and frustration with lack of the ability to concentrate. I don't have the money to put this much into my car after I was informed that my transmission was ok it was a system upgrade that was need. If this situation happened to you the reader or your family member you would be frustrated and feel that you did not receive the proper treatment as well. On February 20, 2014, I received an email stating that BMW would pay 25% which still leaves me a 5700.00 bill is obscured after being told that my transmission is ok is not acceptable to me, nor is it a fair negotiation for all the problems I have been through and my car is worst than when I brought it in to be fixed.

#1 UPDATE EX-employee responds
This is not true
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, July 26, 2016POSTED: Tuesday, July 26, 2016
Jamilah Walker purchased a 2006 BMW 650 from a shady used car dealership and brought it to our dealership for diagnosis. the vehicle already had close to 80k miles on it. It is an unforunate situation but she purchased a vehicle with a bad transmission. I can't believe this report comes up everytime you search my name in Google. We did everything we could for Ms. Walker including offering to pay for 25% for her to replace her transmission. She did not want to get the transmission replaced and left unhappy. We went out of our way and she still wrote this nasty report that still shows up when you look me up on Google. She has no loyalty to BMW and no loyalty to our dealership. Why does she feel we "owe" her a transmission. We tried doing everything we could to help her out. We did not sell her the used 650i
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Boys who inhale second-hand tobacco smoke at home may experience significant levels of raised blood pressure, a study has found.
But in girls, passive smoking appeared to be associated with a lowering of blood pressure. The research from the University of Minnesota, involving more than 6,400 young people, is the first to assess the effects of passive smoking on blood pressure in children.
"These findings support studies suggesting that something about female gender may provide protection from harmful vascular change," said Dr Jill Baumgartner. The findings were presented yesterday at the Pediatric Academic Societies' meeting in Denver, Colorado.Reuse content

We have a new install of an ASA5510. So far everything is working fine except the VPN.
We went through the SSL VPN wizzard in ASDM and answered all questions.
Now when we try to open a VPN connection to the ASA using the URL https://asa_ip_address we first get a "There is a problem with this website's security certificate" message.
When we click Continue to this website (not recommended) we get a "403-Forbidden: Access is Denied" message indicating that the credentials are invalid. We never even got to the logon screen so we don't even know what credentials it is talking about.
Any ideas? Do you need the config posted?

FROM: "Spin Cycle"
RE: Upcoming gubernatorial debates
Well, folks, Fox 25 certainly set the bar with its debate broadcast Monday night, don't you think? So with that in mind, here are some helpful hints for the bake-offs to come.
Maximize your opening graphics. Fox 25's "Battle for the Statehouse" theme segued nicely into their Fight Night in Dedham candidate introductions, although they should have given the height, weight, and reach of the contenders. But the station really missed the boat by not having a tuxedo-clad ring announcer saying, "Let's get ready to ramble!"
Don't bill celebrities as "voters." Moderator Chris Wallace promoted the debate's "unique twist" of including voter questions, which has actually been around since the time of Cicero. But what's with Shonda (wife of Curt) Schilling and Jasper (no relation to Kevin) White quizzing the candidates via video? C'mon, guys. We're always busting the candidates' chops about truth in advertising. Let's try to set a good example, yeah?
Level the earpiece playing field. For the first half of the debate, Deval Patrick looked like he was auditioning for the lead in some community-stage adaptation of The Bodyguard. Mercifully, the Fox 25ers hid Patrick's earpiece for the second half of the proceedings. Too little, too late.
Skip the post-debate candidate interviews. How weird was that, having the four opponents do postmortem interviews like it was some juiced-up episode of Judge Judy? Better to have them play Yahtzee for bragging rights.
Blue Mass Groupies?
It's been interesting to watch the evolution of the liberal blog Blue Mass Group (BMG) over the course of this election. A month ago David Kravitz, one of the Blue Mass guys, told "Spin Cycle" they started the site "to try to elect a Democratic governor . . . We initially envisioned it as a platform to talk up candidates we wanted to back."
The talk grew into an endorsement of Deval Patrick in the Democratic primary. Now that Patrick has moved on to a general-election battle with Lieutenant Governor Kerry Healey, BMG has moved on too, recently posting a couple of anti-Healey spots on the video-sharing site YouTube.
One of the videos features creepy organ music and Psycho-style sound effects as the voiceover ties Healey, George W. Bush, and Dick Cheney together in a nice little package that's "too extreme for Massachusetts." The other mocks Healey as having accomplished essentially nothing her entire life.
Asked whether BMG is still comfortable billing itself as "reality-based commentary on politics and policy," BMGer Bob Neer replied in an e-mail, "I think we'd say that Deval Patrick is the 'reality-based' candidate in the race for Governor. Kerry Healey, by contrast, is the Republican candidate: the party that claims the Iraq insurgency was 'in its final throes' months ago, and that Michael Brown did a 'heckuva job' coordinating the federal response to Katrina."
Neer went on to question Healey's reality-based bona fides, concluding with "It seems pretty clear that of the two parties the Republicans, and their candidate, have a weaker grip on reality in this election cycle."
Feels a bit circular, but, hey, why get technical about it?

Homeopathy is a widely accepted alternative system of medicine which was discovered in the late 18th century. Homeopathy believes in the philosophy that the mind, emotions and the body are integrated together. On the basis of this philosophy, a homeopath provides remedies which can suit best to the physical and psychological conditions of a patient. Homeopathic remedies are certainly not very high dose. Its main purpose is to recognize and discard the cause behind the condition.
People hold many misconceptions about homeopathy. Following are some of the myths of homeopathy:
- Homeopathic remedies work slowly: Many people believe that homeopathic remedies cure your medical condition very slowly. Fact is that it works very fast on diseases like cold, fever, etc. When the symptoms are chronic, then only working process is slow. This is because in chronic condition, the body takes little time to cure from inside. It is advisable to start the homeopathic remedies as soon as any symptom is seen.
- Remedies are prescribed by doctors with no formal training: Many people believe that homeopathic remedies are prescribed simply on the basis of the visible symptoms and no diagnosis is done. Fact is that these remedies are prescribed by qualified medical professionals graduated from homeopathy medical colleges. They diagnose your medical condition before prescribing you any remedy.
- Homeopathic remedies are not scientific: Many people consider homeopathic remedies to be unscientific. However, the basis behind homeopathy is pharmacological and clinical data. Vast studies and researches have been conducted on homeopathic remedies and treatment.
- Strict dietary restriction is to be followed at the time of homeopathic treatment: Many people believe that they have to control on their eating habits while undergoing homeopathic treatment. Fact is that for some patients, ingredients like garlic, onion, alcohol, coffee, tobacco etc. are to be avoided during the tenure of treatment. This is simply because these ingredients interfere with the homeopathic treatment.
- Homeopathy can cure any disorder: Some people have a strong belief that homeopathic remedies can cure any disorder or any medical condition. Fact is that this remedy is completely ineffective in case of dental issues or any condition where surgery is the only remedy.
The horrible effects of summer heat on the body are fairly well known: sunburn, heat stroke and serious dehydration can be life threatening illnesses. But did you know that paying attention to your oral cavity can tip you off and help prevent the onset of serious injury? Don't let the summer heat get you down! This week, explore with us how your mouth can serve as a pathway to healthier, safer living in hotter months.
First things first
You know heat stroke (or sun stroke) is bad, but what is it exactly? Heat stroke is usually the result of lengthy exposure to the sun. For various reasons, the body fails to sufficiently sweat, leading to extremely high internal body temperatures. It is a condition that is typically rapid in onset, requiring immediate medical attention. Left untreated, it can result in multiple organ failures.
The Warning Signs
Many warning signs of summer illnesses actually start in the mouth. Though no two patients experience the same constellation of symptoms, many initially report problems with thirst, dry mouth and dry tongue before the onset of more worrisome indicators.
However, other important signs of dehydration should not be overlooked. These include dry skin, fatigue, light-headedness, headache, dizziness, confusion and/or increased heart rate and breathing.
Drink up
The most important thing you can do to prevent summer heat illnesses is drink plenty of fluids. This is especially true if one has been outdoors working or playing in the sun. Establish a schedule and drink plenty of fluids at regular intervals. You should also be drinking even if you do not feel thirsty or dehydrated. For an extra push, drink solutions like Pedialyte or Gatorade. These help maintain electrolyte balance during extreme heat. Avoid alcohol consumption, as liquor often dehydrates the body and leaves it wanting of critical fluids.
How much is Enough?
During extreme summer heat, you should be drinking at least eight glasses of water a day. But that is not a fixed amount. If you have been outdoors and active, you may need to drink much more. Pay attention to your body to determine how much fluids you should be drinking. Remember, the warnings signs are listed above.

As a pulmonologist, I see patients with breathing problems on a daily basis. Too often do I hear patients express regret about not quitting smoking earlier. The truth of the matter is that it is never too late! quitting smoking is more important than any medicine a doctor can prescribe in preventing long term health problems. So I encourage all my patients who smoke to try every day to cut back and eventually quit smoking.
Patient who smoke need to be ready to quit smoking. If you are not ready to quit smoking, you should think spend a minute every day thinking about the reason why quitting smoking is a good idea. Once you are ready, you should talk to your doctor about ways to help you quit. Even if you don't ask, your doctor may ask about ways to help you quit smoking. Just talking about how to quit smoking is more important that a prescription pad, and there is no quick fix to quitting. Although there are medicines than can help people quit, making a plan is the critical first step.
Nicotine is a powerful drug, more addictive than any drug that can be bought illegally. The nicotine found in cigarettes takes between 7-10 seconds to reach the brain. The thousands of other chemicals in cigarettes are just along for the ride, and they are more toxic than anything you can imagine putting in your body. Most people remember their first cigarette, which was probably bad experience. But the nicotine keeps people coming back for more, even though the adverse effects are obvious to even a first time smoker.
Once you are ready to quit, remember a few things:
- Set a date. The first of the month, someone's birthday, or the day after a particularly stressful week. Try your best to stick to that date.
- Get rid of all the matches, lighters, ashtrays, and that last cigarette you have around.
- Tell your family and friends you are going to give it a shot. Get their support!
- If you slip, don't worry, there is always tomorrow. Give it another chance!
Finally, using a medicine that replaces the nicotine, like the nicoderm patch, nicotine gum, or nicotine lozenges, replaces the only thing in the cigarettes that your brain is addicted to. Once you have gotten over those urges, the chances of giving the cigarettes up for good increases 3-fold! using another medicine, like chantix or buproprion, can increase the chances of quitting even more, just ask your doctor.
Thanks for reading, and good luck!
Cooking is an art and we use various cooking procedures to make different recipes. But we have to consider the nutrients loss, nutrients denaturation while opting for cooking practices. I am sharing some tips on healthy cooking methods here.
1) Wash vegetables, fruits before cutting to avoid loss of vitamins and minerals.
2) Do not keep cut vegetables exposed to air for a longer time.
3) Avoid excessive heating of milk to retain protein quality.
3) Avoid reheating of oils and fats as it leads to formation of trans fatty acids and certain toxic substances.
5) Steaming vegetables is a healthier option than boiling.
6) Avoid using plastic containers to microwave foods instead use glass containers.
7) Avoid reheating in microwave.
8) Avoid leaching-discarding water after boiling vegetables/ sprouts.
Some healthy cooking methods are stir frying, steaming, broiling, grilling, baking.
Feel free from heat by making a mixture of saunf, jeera and Ddhaniya. Add some gud (jaggery) and serve along with cold water.
If you have concerns about your child's ability to communicate, have his or her hearing tested even if this was done in the newborn period because the most obvious sign of possible hearing loss is a delay in speech.
Prolonged exposure to the scorching sun is the sole reason for a sunburn and heat rash.
Sunburn and rashes cause itching and redness on the skin and most commonly affects the face, neck, back or the chest due to exposure to temperature extremes.
Here are some easy and effective home remedies, collected from grandmothers' recipes, for you to try this summer to treat sunburn and heat rashes:
1. Gram flour (besan):
Gram flour or besan smoothens the skin and acts as a cleanser. It helps to remove the impurities, sweat, and dirt that clog the pores from the skin surface. You can prepare a thick paste of gram flour and water/rose water. Apply the paste on the affected area or rashes and keep it for 10-15 minutes. Wash away with cold water.
2. Baking soda:
Baking soda has antibacterial properties that prevent infections and also help to smoothen the burnt area. Mix half a spoon of baking soda and water. Using a soft cloth, dip it in the solution and gently rub over the affected areas. Rinse after a couple of minutes.
3. Raw potato:
A raw potato is a rich source of starchy compounds and helps to reduce the burning sensation of sunburn/heat rash. It acts as an emollient that softens the skin and reduces the redness. Slice a raw potato and place it on the affected area. Leave the potato slice on for 15 minutes and then rinse the face with cold water.
4. Papaya:
Papaya is a rich source of antioxidants and enzymes that have healing abilities and helps to treat sunburns and rashes. It also acts as an exfoliator to unclog and clear the pores. Slice the papaya and mash it. Apply the paste on the affected area for a few minutes and let it dry. Wash it with cold water.
5. Coconut oil:
Coconut oil is hydrating and therefore helps to nourish the skin. Anti-bacterial in nature, it helps to smoothen the skin immediately and also renews the skin. Apply coconut oil on the rash or affected area and leave it for some time. The skin shall absorb it and get nourished.
- Learning disability is a condition in which a child is unable to carry out studies in one or more areas.
- It will be a disability in either writing, reading, arithmatics. It can be in specific area or in all these areas.
- These children are competent as anybody else otherwise.
- They are as intelligent also like any other child.
- Remedial teaching to the particular area and encouragement to all other faculties and interests of the child.
Iq the intelligence quotient as measured by intelligence tests are being carried out by trainned psychologists.
There are several misconceptions related to intelligence and mental status.
1. For Eg. - The belief that since one is very intelligent he can't be mentally ill. This is not true. Illness and intelligence are different things. But it is true that an intelligent but sick is in a better position than retarded. Intelligent one will have more adaptive and survival skills.
2. Less intelligence is a sign of week mind or more chance to be mentally ill. This is absolutely wrong. Intelligence varies among people but majority are average.
3. Mental retardation is a state of iq less than average say below 70. Does not mean that they are ill. With good diet and trainning they can be helped to live and can be taught jobs depending on the level of retardation.
4. Love, care and trainning can make one the best. Some times less intelligent are the most useful and of help in need of time. So be away from misconceptions.
In a normal pregnancy, the egg that the ovaries release enters the fallopian tube. If a sperm fertilises it, the fertilised egg attaches itself inside the uterus. However, sometimes the fertilised egg can attach itself outside the uterus. This condition is called ectopic pregnancy.
Ectopic pregnancy can be detected in the first few weeks of the pregnancy itself. If your doctor does discover ectopic pregnancy, you would need immediate medical attention. Ectopic pregnancies can be sad and scary. The survival rate of the baby is extremely low, and you may need some time to get over your loss. Fortunately, one ectopic pregnancy doesn't mean you can never conceive again. Many women who lost their first baby to ectopic pregnancy have been able to have a healthy and normal pregnancy the second time around.
The causes of ectopic pregnancy include:
- An inflammation or infection of the fallopian tube can lead it to become entirely or partially blocked.
- Scar tissue from a surgery or an infection of the fallopian tube may also hinder the movement of the fertilised egg.
- Surgery in the tubes or pelvic areas in the past might cause adhesions.
- Birth defects or abnormal growths can cause anomalies in the shape of the tube.
These causes are usually followed by certain risk factors, such as:
- Age (The age group of 35-44 especially)
- An ectopic pregnancy in the past
- Previous abdominal or pelvic surgery
- Pelvic inflammatory disease
- Several prompted abortions
- Conceiving with an intrauterine device in place
- Smoking
- Endometriosis (growth of uterus lining tissues outside the uterus).
- Fertility treatments.
The signs and symptoms of ectopic pregnancy include:
- Minimal vaginal bleeding
- Vomiting and nausea with pain
- Pain in the lower abdomen
- Sharp cramps in the abdomen
- Localised pain (Pain concentrated on one side of your body)
The treatment of ectopic pregnancy can be any one of the following:
- If the pregnancy has not progressed too far, methotrexate will be administered. This absorbs the pregnancy tissue and can save the fallopian tubes.
- The tubes may be removed if they have ruptured or stretched, and have started bleeding.
- Laparoscopic surgery (operations performed by making minor incisions) may be performed to remove or repair the tubes and recover the ectopic pregnancy.
A detoxification diet can be mighty effective in losing weight as well as getting the system cleaned. While there is a lot of opinion about the diet itself, too much restriction on food can lead to monotony. The trick is to have a right mix of everything. The right balance of fibre, protein and other nutrient is necessary for the healthy functioning of the body. Here is a list of things to remember while following a detoxification diet:
- The right amount of protein: Getting the right amount of protein is essential for the body to function properly. The body needs around 20-35 gms of protein in about every four-five hours. It boils down to 3 eggs, half a cup of chicken breast and half a cup of black beans as far as food consumption is concerned. It makes sense to stick to a light protein such as legumes, white portion of the egg, tofu, and poultry. An adult requires a minimum of 60-90 grams of protein on a daily basis. The right choice of protein in terms of taste and calorie will ensure that the detoxification diet can be stuck to.
- Include carbohydrate: Carbohydrate should get a place in the detoxification diet. The body requires a minimum of 120 grams carbohydrates on a daily basis. It can be easily achieved with a balanced diet. Certain food elements such as legume and whole grain provides enough carbohydrate for the body to function throughout the day. Some other good sources of carbohydrate include berries, quinoa, and millet.
- Keep a calorie count: In general, an adult woman needs around 1500 calories per day and a man requires around 1800 calories per day. An individual should aim for a calorie consumption of 350 during breakfast, 450 during lunch and 500 at dinner. Midday snacks should not comprise more than 150 calories on a daily basis. Fast foods containing processed fat and carbohydrate should be eliminated from the detoxification diet.
- Water: While a good detoxification can show fast results, keeping the body hydrated is necessary for the detoxification to work. Apart from hydration, water helps the body to eliminate the waste and ensure the smooth functioning of the kidney. For detoxification to work the kidney should be in great condition. Water also helps to wash away certain unwanted element from the body. A minimum of 3-4 litres of water should be consumed on a daily basis for detoxification to work.

A stinging pain in the neck that makes you feel broken from the neck joint could be a reason to worry. It is often accompanied by an aching head or a throbbing shoulder joint. Neck pain, such as this occurs due to an injury in the area resulting from sudden back and forth movement of the neck. It is referred to as whiplash as the nature of the pain and subsequent discomfort resembles the snapping of a whip. The pain is more like a sprain, but not exactly so. This can affect athletes or even any person in general who has faced an accident in recent past. Whiplash is characterized by a tearing of ligaments and tendons that connect one bone to another.
Causes of Whiplash:
- Sports that involve contact: Any extracurricular activity involving collisions or other forms of physical contact can cause neck injuries. Football and rugby players frequently suffer from Whiplash.
- Road accidents: Public transport has a host of disadvantages. Reckless driving can make the tendons of your neck tear. Auto accidents cause immense strain on your neck; it can also lead to Whiplash.
- Any kind of physical abuse: If you have gotten into a violent fight with someone your neck could suffer from a Whiplash. Instances of physical abuse where the neck is jerked or punched at can also result in neck strains. Domestic violence often leads to instances of neck strains.
Symptoms related to this condition:
- You may or may not suffer from tinnitus. Tinnitus is a physical disorder where you hear ringing sounds. It is quite distracting.
- Your vision might get blurry.
- You can experience irregular sleep patterns.
- You can find it hard to concentrate on any one thing for more than a while.
- You can grow irritable at the drop of a hat.
- Your memory may fail you. You might find it next to impossible to trace back a day's activity.
Some of the other direct symptoms are:
- Your neck might turn stiff preventing you from moving it left, right, up or down.
- Pangs of pain can be felt in and around your shoulders.
- Your upper arms can grow numb and tender.
- Your head can spin repeatedly or you could feel dizzy.
- Whiplash can also result in serious fatigue. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult an Orthopaedist.

Michael Bradley silencing the doubters
There are muddy little pools of fan hatred that form around certain U.S. National Team players from time to time, based on perceptions that can harden into a message-board conventional wisdom that cling to a player for years.
Kicking that caked-on residue off your boots can take some time, especially if you're a prominent Yank. Just ask Landon Donovan, once labeled soft, or Clint Dempsey, who got pegged as lazy.
Another example is Michael Bradley.
After a rough 2011, in which he was stranded on the bench during a spring loan at Aston Villa and abandoned by his German club Borussia Monchengladbach; saw his father fired as national team coach after a Gold Cup final loss to Mexico, and found himself out of favor in the early months of new coach Jurgen Klinsmann's tenure, the U.S. midfielder's recent play has dispelled any doubts that he belongs on the field in a central role.
He has starred for his new Italian club, Chievo Verona, and put together back-to-back outstanding efforts for the Yanks in away friendly victories over Slovenia and Italy. And along the way, he's converted, or at least silenced, a group of U.S. fans who thought he only played because of his last name.
Bradley isn't gloating about any of this, and won't wrestle in the mud with critics. But in a phone interview this week, he left no doubt that he's come through the recent tough times with a confidence that shows up each time he suits up.

On the epistemology of postmodern spirituality
Published: 17 February 2012
At first glance, the postmodern spiritual æsceneÆ appears æsociologically messy, experiential, multifaceted, ecological, provisional and collectiveÆ (Petrolle 2007) and of uncertain epistemic provenance. Here, I ask: can Roland BenedikterÆs (2005) conception of postmodern dialectic and spiritual turn, help us understand postmodern spirituality and can it assist in a construction of a postmodern epistemology of spirituality? The current argument constitutes a meta-theoretical exploration of:
Ģ Deconstruction and neo-essentialism as representing the significant dialectic in philosophical postmodernism. Deconstruction is presented as an apophatic moment in Western thought about æknowingÆ and æbeingÆ whilst postmodern neo-essentialism, though contextualised by antirealism and ambiguity, palpably suggests itself.
Ģ Postmodern trends which derive from the dialectic.
Ģ How these epistemic trends influence methodology in the study of spirituality.
Ģ How a trans-traditional (anthropological) spirituality might incorporate insights about transformation from a complex of epistemologies in which, theories of æselfÆ abound.
In the conclusion an attempt is made to describe how postmodern spirituality expresses itself in society.

Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
We are a private, non-profit, foster-based rescue group. We do not have a shelter facility. Our pups are mat on an appointment-only basis.
Please understand that it is the obligation of PAWS volunteers to place our animals in optimum homes. Many of our animals have been injured and/or abused. We must insure that they are not placed into traumatic situations again.
We are rescue-friendly. If you work with a rescue and are interested in helping some of our dogs, please contact our Adoption/Rescue Coordinator, Leanne Britton @ 901-489-2470.
Our adoption process includes a completed application, vet reference and in some cases a home visit.
We are rescue friendly and work with PETS Transport (www.petsllc.net). Rescues are responsible for making transport arrangements and covering associated transport fees.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

Strange the way things turn out sometimes
Good afternoon everyone,
Well, I think I mentioned that DH was going to quit his job and go back to taking care of the house, cooking, cleaning, remodeling, etc. while going to school....he felt like the job was interfering with his heavy school schedule and the quicker he can get his degree, the faster we can get into better financial shape....
As it turns out, when he went in to talk to his boss and told him that another company was offering him a job and he'd be quitting, they offered him a full time position with more money and benefits (he's currently a contractor)! This would include the ability to work from home, $5,000 in tuition assistance, life insurance, a good retirement, etc. He wasn't expecting that at all!!! We will know Monday for sure if they are able to actually do it because of possible HR issues that could get in the way. I hope he actually gets it because we really could use the money.
Anyway, it's really funny how things work out sometimes.....someone must be looking out for us!!!

Tue, 27 Feb 2007 15:25:20 +0000
My mail did indicate that I am no longer
responsible for -tabstatmat-. However,
1. Having been advised to use -ssc-, you could
look at the help to see how it works. Typing
. ssc desc tabstatmat
. ssc type tabstatmat.ado
both indicate that -tabstatmat- is designed
to work with Stata 8. Yet another way to find
out is to install it and see if it works. Any
of these ways would have forestalled a question.
2. You can update your Stata using -update-.
This again is very well documented. See the manual
or the on-line help.
Marcella Sapun
I am interested in using the -tabstatmat- but I use STATA 8 and it is
not part of package. Do I need to have Version 9 in order to download
this "command"?
Also, is there any updates for stata 8, not upgrading version 8, that I
can download from the stata website? How do I do it?
>>> Nick Cox <firstname.lastname@example.com> 2/26/2007 5:46 PM >>>
It is now back again on SSC. -ssc-
can be used to install or replace a copy.
Thus, -tabstatmat- is now declared nice and clean
until someone finds the next bug. When they do, they
should email Austin.

We occasionally receive calls about meetings of the boards of directors of the charter schools. Attached is a link to the Handbook on Indiana Public Access Laws (PDF), which includes information that all members of each governing board of a charter school needs to know.
I recommend that if you have not already done so, you access the Handbook on this website and make certain that all members of the board of directors, school leaders, and representatives of your school's EMO (if there is one) who work in the area of compliance, become familiar with the information in this handbook. Please note that the Public Access Counselor for Indiana can be reached at 317-233-9435.

Treasuries End Lower
Treasury bulls lost their nerve with less than 24 hours to go before Fed Chief Greenspan's monetary testimony, shedding government paper in thinning conditions ahead of that key event and retail sales data just prior. The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal Fedwatchers seemed to lean towards Greenspan favoring the positive economic developments over the deflation risks, which set up the market to fail Monday.
After starting off in a positive frame of mind, despite a healthy pre-market rally in stocks, investors folded up stale long positions in thinning market conditions. This exaggerated the fall, when locals strong-armed prices lower and tripped sell-stops on the way down to session lows. Options flows in the 10-year were also mostly bearish early in the day and provided early clues to the underlying fragility, for those vigilant for the signs.
There was some early selling of 2-year notes as well, which may have been elbowed by the launch of the jumbo $4 billion Freddie Mac 2-year global reference notes due to price Tuesday. The September bond closed 1-8/32 lower at 114-23, while the 2-year note and 30-year bond spread steepened 3 basis points to fresh 11-year wides of +343 basis points as reflation bets gathered fresh momentum.
