Beauty Products on My Desk
29 June 2016
I did do an office essentials post two years ago and thought I'd do an update. Most of the products I have are new and unused, just hidden in the bottom of my drawers, sitting there. Keeping some on my desk at work will help me use them up faster. I need to use up all of the creams and balms before I can purchase more. As of recently, I have the following:
You can never have too many hand creams or lip balms right? I also carry some others in various bags too.
Gatsby Oil Clear Sheet
L'Occitane Shea Vanilla Bouquet Hand Cream
Caudalie Hand and Nail Cream
Nivea Lip Essential Care
Vaseline Lip Therapy Crème Brûlée
Dove DermaSpa Intensive Hand Cream
Do you have a beauty corner on your work desk?
P.S. My desk is never this tidy. It's just for this candid blog photo.

Higher PowerMature
"Good Christians" spit in the eyes of "undesirables" while
Higher Power pisses down upon us, and stained glass fills
With the blood that was shed in society's name, while this sad
Age shuns the bloodshedders, and sticks daggers in my ribs 'cause
Everyone wants their pound of flesh, and they all need to leech from
This pathetic creature; the gutter floods with crimson.
You're all so clean, yet you still have dirt in your eyes.
My name is the filth beneath your talons and Louboutins
But one day I'll be real again, if this recoil hits me hard
Enough, and the gleam from the barrel stuns me into your
State of blind faith and sheep mentallity; your shepherd is
Bad jounalism.
The lamb of god had his throat slit long ago
But I only have one shell left in the chamber, and
Nothing in my heart, so please don't move and I

These Ikea Beach Chairs Keep Slicing Off People's Fingertips
Ikea is recalling roughly 34,000 beach chairs over safety concerns. Typically, chair recalls are initiated over stability concerns and chairs simply tipping over. But the danger of these Mysingsö model chairs is a bit more gruesome. So far 13 people have been injured, with 6 people getting their fingertips amputated.

Merry Christmas to all! Christ is born!
(And in case you're wondering, I had chocolate pudding for breakfast.)
I believe the Sirius #159 radio interview is still on for today, if people are interested.
UPDATE: Hey, that was fun. I encourage you to check out Lino Rulli's show, "The Catholic Guy," and the rest of that channel, not because I was on it, but because he seems like a very faithful guy with a sense of humor. Drop Sirius a line and tell him to offer that channel (159) through the internet...I bet that would make it easier for everyone, including me, to listen!)

Reviews of Cayuga Ridge Extended Care
Ithacamom December 13, 2016
I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident
Great rehab stay
Linnielou77 September 26, 2016
I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident
I've been taking care of a friend of mine at Cayuga Ridge. She has to wait over a 1/2 hour or more to go to the bathroom. Most of the time I have to let someone know that she's been waiting. Another time when I arrived her pants were soaked in urine. I immediately let someone know. The reply I received, "she doesn't want her pants changed." Really?? Cayuga Ridge employees would have a resident STAY in urine soaked clothes for hours?? I had them change her, while employees were in the bathroom I thought I should check the seat on her wheelchair to dab up any remaining urine. Oh my, after putting a glove on & grabbed 3 paper towels to pat the foam seat, the seat was drenched. The employees were going to put her back on it after changing her.? Therefore, I took the seat off & gave it to one of the employees explaining how wet the seat while showing them the drenched 3 paper towels together. I was told by this employee the seat would be taken for cleaning. Three weeks later & no seat cushion was EVER replaced. The move from first floor to the residential floor was horrific. Long story short, first floor neglected to tell the second floor that she would be moving. At 4 o'clock we went to her first floor room to check to see if the move happened. All of her things were gone except the assistive toilet support & a few misc items. So, we go to her permanent room. ALL of her belongings were on a large dolly in bags sitting in the middle of her room. I now had to set up her room, put things away & with my own walker go to her first floor room to retrieve the toilet support..... When I inquired what happened I was told the 2nd floor didn't know she was coming. The social worker, who no longer works there told me he inquired after I left him a message for him & he told me what I already found out, they messed up. Since I knew this information, I would not allow my friend to sit in her wheelchair overnight in a room without a bed made & Her items sitting on a large dolly in the middle of her room. These are just the highlights. I would NEVER recommend Cayuga Ridge to anyone. Now the two social workers no longer work there & the executive director left. This is the second executive director that has left since my dear friend was placed there. What does that say about Cayuga Ridge Nursing Home? It's not a home. Some care workers are nice & others have an attitude larger than the state of Texas! They just have a job..... Not caring for people, JUST a job, nor has ANY message I left for her has ever been received by my friend.

I am a friend or relative of resident
A nursing home facility is supposed to stay on top of it's schedules in taking care of their patients/residents but I have found oUT from an "inside source, they are failing. You should NEVER have to wait 3 HOURS past schedule for ANY OF your medications, that is cruel and inhuman! Something needs to be done!!!
mai8551 November 07, 2015
I am/was a resident of this facility
I'm a current resident of Cayuga Ridge located in Ithaca, NY. My experience has been mixed with both positive, and negative opinions. First I'd give the aides full professional praise. They have two aides caring for thirty residents, and I know that there are times that they don't take time to stop for bathroom breaks. Their genuine regard for the residents care is noteworthy. Also the dietary department puts a lot of effort into making nutritious and appealing meals. The weaknesses of the facility are the lack of comfortable beds, or clean furnishings for the residents. Without these in place, it does not promote a healthy environment for the residents. I hope to never become a resident here again.
justavisitor June 29, 2012
I visited this facility
Overall, I would have to say that my experience was positive. I thought that in general, the staff was rather accommodating. The nurses seemed polite and considerate with the residents. There was even a staff member responsible for daily activities to keep the residents engaged. The staff did their job adequately and used the most of what resources they had.The facilities is a little mixed for me. I would say in the end that it is adequate. The building is rather large, but I felt that the interior felt a little rundown. There were some places that were closed off and everything felt old. However, the main areas were still kept fairly tidy and functional, so I thought it wasn't really that much of a deal.I didn't really get to experience all of the amenities, but overall I thought it was decent. There is a very large dining area/activities room on the first floor. It allows for residents to gather and socialize. On individual floors, there are TV rooms as well as a dining area. These places are sparsely decorated but are still functional. The rooms were rather small, but it was large enough to fit a large bed, a TV, and a mini fridge. Most rooms had a window view and could see the outside landscape.In the end, I thought my experience was pleasant. Cayuga Ridge is not a high-scale nursing home. Rather it is more for those with a budget. This is more apparent when visiting the place, but it is important to note that the staff does everything to make things amenable for the residents as well as for the visitors.

This cabin is totally private and secluded; different from most as it is built into a hill, giving you the impression that you are in a tree house.
As you arrive and park your vehicle, you will notice that the cabin is all by itself tucked away neatly in the woods. It is surrounded on all sides by pine trees.
This one of a kind cabin is ideal for couples who are searching for an intimate get away destination. It is perfect for celebrating anniversaries or any occasion that is special to the both of you.
The totally private, oversized hot tub is sure to be a wow factor. The hot tub is great year round, but Fall, Winter and Spring months are the best times of the year to enjoy it. Bask in the warmth and heat of the water on a cool, crisp evening as you observe the beautiful galaxy of the stars above. Perhaps the tops of the pine trees next to the deck will be swaying gently in the breeze which adds to the atmosphere of serenity. It's a sure way to relax and unwind from the stress of everyday life! Or, enjoy the hot tub by day and watch as the hummingbirds feed from their feeder just a few feet away!
When you arrive, you will walk down some steps to the cabin's front porch.
Inside, a peaceful and inviting setting awaits you. The walls and the ceiling are constructed of knotty pine and the floor of a beautiful hardwood.
The kitchen area is well equipped; coffee maker, toaster, blender, microwave and many other amenities to cook your meals.
The bedroom area has a queen sized bed with a memory foam mattress.
On the wall opposite of the bed, there is a 42' flat screen television. The television tilts in all directions so you can watch it from the bed or the very comfortable glider chairs in the living area. The television is equipped with Dish Net programming, including the local Lexington, KY channels.
The cabin also has unlimited WIFI.
The bathroom has a large shower stall, with vanity and mirror.
This cabin is owner maintained and cleaned; it is immaculate!
Take a short stroll down the hill next to the cabin and check out the Bass Pond. It is stocked with bass, blue gill and catfish for your fishing enjoyment. If you are not into fishing, you can build a fire in the fire ring and watch the glowing embers.
We are conveniently located a short 7 min. drive from Exit 49 off I-75. Only 10 miles north of London, 10 miles south of Mt. Vernon.
So don't delay another day.......book your special get a way today!
My husband and I have lived in Kentucky since 2001, and we love it here. Formerly, we lived in northern IL.
We have another rental, a cottage, on the same property as this one, but it has a completely different 'flavor' than this one does. We built this cabin in response to what we believe travelers who have stayed in our cottage are looking for in a rental.......privacy, woods, water view, and a hot tub. So on that premise, we built this cabin.
We have a total of 70 acres more or less, and have some livestock. Three horses, two calves, and numerous chickens.
However, from the cabin, you will not be able to see anything but the woods that surround it.
Julee Skarka purchased this cabin in 2001
My husband and I love rural living, and this is a great piece of property.
You have fishing, hiking, bird watching, and wildlife viewing all on the same property.
When we go on vacation, we usually go to cities and stay in hotels. We wanted to something different this time and it worked out great. We spent two relaxing nights in Julee's perfect cabin in the Kentucky woods. Julee gave us a warm welcome, and it was clear when we entered our cabin that she had thought of everything. The cabin was spotless, well-appointed and "user friendly". We especially enjoyed soaking in the Jacuzzi and watching the swaying trees behind the cabin deck.
We also enjoyed touring southern Kentucky. We spent an afternoon at Cumberland Gap National Park and then had a tasty dinner at the Backporch Smokehouse in Mt. Vernon on Julee's recommendation.
We hope to visit again some day.
Kevin & Amy - Salem, MA
This cabin exceeded our expectations. The pictures did not do it justice. It was BEAUTIFUL. Pristine condition. We really enjoyed the hot tub on the deck and watching the pine trees sway in the breeze. The pond and fire pit were very nice...a much needed break away from every day stress!
We had the best time! Definitely a good choice for our honeymoon!!
Beautiful as alwass
My husband surprised me with a two-night getaway in March at this lovely little cabin tucked in a pine forest. We loved the one room cabin with deck and hot tub. The pond and fire pit provided hours of fun even if we did not catch fish:) While it did not bother us, some people may need to be aware that there are steps to get in and out of the cabin the walk to the pond involves going up a down a hill. Hosts were friendly and cabin was extra clean.
Beautiful and cozy cabin.clean and fresh...it really felt like a home away from home. The hot tub was amazing and the owners, Julie and Pete, we're so helpful and friendly. I look forward to going back.
Within a 15 min. drive is Renfro Valley, featuring live country music.
Only a few miles away is the Wildcat Civil War Monument.
Three miles away is Wildcat Adventures Off road Park.
Further away, about an hour's drive from the cabin, is Cumberland Falls State Park, where you can see the 'Niagara of the South'.

Like-for-like sales, down 4.1% year-on-year in July, were off 2.2% in August. But analysts said the weak situation a year ago flattered the comparisons.
The company has been battling a slowdown in consumer spending growth and a glut of late-night entertainment venues
Chief executive Stephen Thomas announced that profit margins were holding up as the company cut its overheads.
'The corner has still yet to be turned, but it does feel as if we are getting closer to it,' said Altium Securities analyst Greg Feehely, who has a 'hold' rating on Luminar stock.
The shares surged 23p - more than 5% - to 432p by mid-morning as investors welcomed the results. The price is less than the half the peak of 920p in 2002.
Broker Panmure repeated its 'hold' rating, but noted disappointment the August sales were not better.
The company reports first-half results on 11 November.

I finally stay up for a chance at a shirt and this is what I get. Kinda cute, just not for me.
Nice Shirt! I'm in for one
DARN! i wanted the time machine dinos. i stayed up for THIS?!?!?!
very ugly-duckling
this shall be an interesting thread of comments.
I wanted this one so much!
Even though I never wear green, I still had my heart set on the other shirt. Maybe if enough people protest they'll make that one, too.
congrats on the win, but I'm not in for one.
In for one! I loved the second and third place, the best. =) Congrats. Poor James. But your patterns entry rocked.
hohoho!. that's pretty funny. i'd get one, butttttttttt just don't feel like buying a shirt.
i thought this was very cute. im in.
Congrats to the designer but I thought the other dino would be third.
My face is leaking! wrong Dino
Another lament for Cho's design.
i liked it better before he resubmitted it.
awww... There were 2 better dinosaur shirts in the derby. I was going to get my roommate a T-rex shirt if it won because she loves them. Alas...
Serious question. Why this shirt? Explain why you would ever wear this on your body.
Lame Lame Lame. Just not a good shirt. My faith in humanity sinks lower by the derby.
In all honesty, the first place was my least favorite from the derby and this one was my favorite. I wouldn't have bought the 4th place shirt, but I thought it was better than 1st place.
I'm still debating whether or not I have the money to buy this shirt, but I'm leaning towards no.
Ok, so is there any way that the designer of the timemachine dino shirt can make his/her design available...cuz it totally rocked
Is it just me or have the worst shirts been winning lately?

In 60 days the rights go back to the designer.
is it me?! or do all of the shirts suck recently? (sorry if i insulted the designers)
I actually like this shirt. I'm just disappointed since shirts 4 and 5 in the derby were better.
I like this kind of artwork, congrats on 3rd
I agree. Want the other dino shirt...somehow....come on WOOT!
Otherwise let's have it directly from the artist himself!
Hey and I'm not buying the bag of pistachios on winewoot in protest.
I liked it. In for 1.
Sylus wrote:Is it just me or have the worst shirts been winning lately?
no, it's not just you. it's THEM!
Was crossing fingers for the Time machine one myself, but congrats to shmeedles. Hey, a vote's a vote, and apparently more people liked this one!

Now I want to make this shirt for you and enter it into every derby!

A former minister has became the first senior Labour figure openly to urge Mr Miliband to throw his hat into the ring, warning the Chancellor will not represent a break from the past when Tony Blair stands down.

Frank Field, a former welfare minister, said the party should skip a generation and go straight to 41-year-old Mr Miliband.
His intervention gave public voice to private lobbying over recent months by senior Blairites, including ministers, who think Mr Miliband should stand.
Home Secretary John Reid, who had been touted as a possible challenger to Mr Brown, is now widely regarded as a busted flush following a series of disasters at his department.
The telegenic Mr Miliband has repeatedly resisted suggestions that he could be Labour's next leader, insisting Mr Brown will make a successful Prime Minister.
Friends say he is positioning himself as the party's 'leader-after-next', as he will still be relatively youthful by the time Mr Brown, 56, would be likely to stand down.
But last week, the Environment Secretary stunned colleagues at Westminster by suggesting that Mr Brown could suffer a sharp downturn in popularity when he takes over from Mr Blair.
He has warned that Labour will have to "defy political gravity" if it is to win a fourth successive general election.
And earlier this week, he spoke about the need for his party to be "bold Labour, not old Labour".
Sources close to the Chancellor insist he was keen to have a contest, and would welcome anyone else throwing their hat into the ring.
Mr Field, a long-time critic of Mr Brown on the Right of his party, attacked his record as Chancellor.
"The economic expansion is fuelled by public and private debt," he said. "The level of taxation has risen while the budget deficit has escalated.
"At a time of record economic growth, the inactivity roll of 5.6 million has barely fallen under this government.
"It might all end happily, but that is not inevitable."
He suggested the Chancellor would offer a new start because his fingerprints were "indelibly smudged" on Government policy of the past 10 years.
The party needed somebody who "shouts at the electorate that New Labour has already moved on to the next stage of its life".
"Will that be best achieved by a candidate whose hands have been on the steering wheel for the last decade?" he asked.
"Or will it come from the younger generation, in a candidate who is not linked in the public mind with what will soon be seen as stage one of New Labour's journey?
"Step forward, David Miliband."
He added: "Blair's inexplicable decision to concede power to Brown has resulted in the chancellor's fingerprints being indelibly smudged on all the main areas of home policy.
"With such clear responsibility for what has gone on, how can he offer the country a new start, as opposed to 100 days of eye-catching initiatives of the kind that dominated Labour's first 100 days in 1997?
"What new directions can be offered when the architect of current policies has merely moved up a place?"
Mr Field added that relying on Mr Brown's success as Chancellor to win the next election was "fraught with danger".
His assault on Mr Brown will fuel speculation at Westminster that he may be persuaded to defect to the Conservatives by David Cameron if the Chancellor becomes Prime Minister.
But senior Labour MP David Chaytor agreed a contest would be desirable - and hinted that he backed Mr Miliband's focus on environment policies.
"I think Gordon Brown will be successful,' he said.
"But I think Gordon's position would be strengthened if his record and programme for the future was tested through an election.
"It's about different views of the party's future and the country's future. For example, there's a powerful case for a candidate to be put forward who would argue the case for a coherent green Labour policy agenda.
"It would actually apply considerable pressure on Gordon to move in a greener direction."

This joint had peanuts punch, ginger tea, and banana fritters!!!!!! First time eating banana fritters and these things are good!!!!!!!!!! Classic Jamaican foods and soul food!!!!!!! All juices and teas are fresh made!!!!!!!
The food is pretty good but, it is a nasty little joint. People who work there are not the most friendly either. Don't expect much other than a decent place to get take out.
Restaurant owned by husband Joe and wife Yo-Yo who puts a lot of passion in the food and it's delicious. Restaurant gives you a island feeling when you walk in. Best rice and peas I ever had
Growing up in NYC and my best friend's family is West Indian (especially off a recent trip to Jamaica), I always appreciate great Caribbean food. The food here was okay at best. Staff was very friendly, but I was clarifying what the dishes were and one of the staff was a bit unsure of the items. The curry chicken was...
If you want some great tasting Jamaican food, this is your place. Portion sizes are great for the prize. Good selection of entries and veggies.
I liked the Curry Chicken. Oxtails, Brown stewed chicken, beef patties and all the vegetables. I just wished that the building was a little larger.
I work in Rocky Mount, NC about twice a week and have tried many restaurants in the area. A few days ago one of my friends recommended this place as she visits the area quite often as well. She knows that I LOVE Caribbean food and consider it one of my favorite cuisines. The first thing I noticed was the...
I love Jamaican food and when I left DC I said to myself O M G where am I going to find this type of food in the country.....but thanks to this place I am one happy girl. The food is sooo good especially the Curry Chicken and the Banana Bread....#1
It was a worm in my oxtails, the food alway good to me but when I found that worm in my food, that did it for me.. I will not eat here again for that reson only... Again the food was always great...
The day I visited they were out of several items, digging for meat in a sea of sauce and lines were backed up waiting for fresh food. The food here can be awesome but make sure you get there early, otherwise you may be disappointed. Prices are on the high side but warranted when they are at their peak performance....

Hartley would have been the first to remark upon the neat symmetry of these two parts of his life. The tall, strapping Englishman with the twinkling eyes and open face never matched the caricature of the strutting colonial administrator; he was always happiest with the African people in the villages and bush. A benevolent host, he would sit at the head of his table, wielding a glass of red wine, and recite Tennyson's "Ulysses", "Come my friends, 'tis not too late to see a newer world . . ."
As a young man, Hartley was struck with le mal d'Afrique - and though he ventured as far afield as Aden, Iraq, Turkey and Trinidad, he spent much of the next 67 years thinking up ways to give something back to the continent he loved.
He was born in Leicestershire in 1907, the son of a civil servant, and grew up as a country boy in a large family. After some initial training, he entered the Colonial Service which sent him to Wadham College, Oxford, and then to the Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture in Trinidad. Offered the choice of running coffee farms in the West Indies, rubber plantations in Malaya, or cotton production in Tanganyika, Hartley chose to go to Africa.
As a junior agricultural officer, he was expected to buy a car out of his own salary, and, although he spent pounds 200 on a Box Ford, he found when he got to Mwanza that he preferred to walk. Travelling at the head of a line of porters, he became known for the swinging stride that remained so characteristic of him. He got to know every corner of the huge province, learned KiSukuma and quickly made friends with the local Sukuma tribespeople. Later, he would also learn to speak fluent Arabic, Somali, KiMaa and of course perfect KiSwahili - not what is known as "KiSettler".
Hartley's main job was to encourage the Sukuma to become self-sufficient in cotton, which they sold at auction in Mwanza to Asian traders who were telegraphed from Liverpool every week with the cotton exchange prices. Hartley's isolation from other colonials fed his independent spirit and gave him an intense, passionate love of Africa that never left him.
In 1938, he was posted to Aden as the agricultural officer. Aden was the place after Tanganyika that would most profoundly hold his affections. He and his best friend, Peter Davey, were determined to join the RAF at the start of the Second World War, but as fluent Arab speakers were considered too valuable to send home. Instead, Hartley was made assistant com-mandant of the camel corps at Subeihi, near Aden. His job was to dress up in Arab dress and patrol the beaches, identifying German and Italian submarines that were forced to surface in the Bab el-Mandeb straits. The post gave him a lifelong interest in camels and how they flourish in desert conditions.
After the war, Hartley added the job of political officer to his responsibilites, and in 1946 he was appointed Director of Agriculture in the Aden Protectorate. The two jobs went well together, as when an attempt to broker peace between the warring Fadhali and Lower Yafai tribesman succeeded only after Hartley started a cotton scheme at Abyan, 50 miles north of Aden port. He was appointed CMG for the Abyan scheme. In three years, the project made more than pounds 1m profit, and both tribes referred to cotton as "white gold". His nickname among the Arabs was "Al-Zerai", "the farmer".
It was in Aden that Hartley met Doreen Sanders, the daughter of an Indian Army officer, whom he married in 1951 at the age of 43. Africa, however, became their home. Hartley had already bought a 2,000-acre farm at Mweiga in 1934, and in 1952, during the Mau Mau, they bought and began to develop Langaseni ranch between Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru in northern Tanganyika.
Starting off with 16,500 acres of arid acacia bush, Hartley turned the ranch into a showpiece that eventually stretched over 89,000 acres and raised Boran beef cattle, sheep, goats and horses. In 1953, he became a trustee of the Tanganyika National Parks, and when the ranch was nationalised by the government in the mid-1960s he turned his talents to Rhodesia, Somalia, Turkey, Yemen, Ethiopia and Uganda, where he worked as an adviser on livestock for nomads for the United Nations and the World Bank. When his son Aidan covered the Somali civil war for Reuter, many Somali leaders recognised the Hartley name.
From 1980, Hartley worked as a volunteer for Oxfam, Action Aid and Farm Africa. The Karamoja famine in northern Uganda, which had killed hundreds of thousands of people by 1982, was the start to his next great life adventure. He travel-led to Karamoja to advise the local people on rebuilding their devastated agriculture. Two years later, he again visited Uganda, and from there went on to Tanzania. Travelling by matatu (bush taxi), he revisited all the areas where he had been an agricultural officer in the 1920s. His return to Tanzania came at a time when the Tanzanian government was beginning to turn its back on the socialism of the 1960s and instigate a wide range of economic and agricultural reforms.
Hartley realised he would never again farm the land as a settler; instead he was determined to help the local tribespeople. He was eventually allowed once again to live on his old ranch, and embarked on a project to introduce the camel to the Masai. It was no easy task, for the Masai are particularly attached to cattle. Camels, they argued, were the product of mating a giraffe with a lion, and besides everyone knows that camels spread the desert.
Helped out by his son, Kim, Hartley persevered. The Masai could come and drink the camels' milk, and talk to the Somalis who tended them. Soon they came to realise that milk was still to be had in the dry season, and that camels ignored the grass that the cattle favoured, preferring instead to browse.
Hartley's camel project, which started with eight beasts and now numbers 300, was largely financed out of his Colonial Service pension. It was typical of the soft-spoken modest man who could always be relied on to think up a small-scale private solution to Africa's many problems, whether it was importing fish-hooks for a village in Sudan or asking his wife, in the truck to Karamoja, to carry a batch of guinea-pigs on her knees so that the starving tribespeople could breed them and have something to eat.
Brian Joseph Hartley, agriculturalist, colonial administrator, conservationist: born Kegworth, Leicestershire 31 July 1907; MBE 1934, OBE 1945; CMG 1950; married 1951 Doreen Sanders (three sons, one daughter); died Mombasa, Kenya 5 June 1996.

In preparation for National Volunteer Week (April 23-29) the WE Volunteer Now Speaking Tour visited TCMS. Trimble County Middle School is one of 80 schools and youth organizations nation wide that are participating in this program.
WASHINGTON — Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles said Monday that industry and government leaders must do more to attract young people to careers in agriculture.
"We must do all we can to make farming attractive to young people so our country can continue to produce and export agricultural products to sustain us at home and to export around the world," Commissioner Quarles said at the Agri-Pulse Farm Bill Summit at the National Press Club.
A good night's sleep is as important as physical activity or healthy eating to maintain a healthy weight and optimum wellbeing. Sleep allows us to relax, restore and revitalize our bodies and minds every night. Research over the last decade has advanced understanding about the importance of sleep to maintaining a healthy weight.
Kentucky has enjoyed a mild winter which has resulted in many trees, plants and crops beginning to sprout and bloom before their usual times. The recent forecast was not good news for those early bloomers.
"We have to remember it's still wintertime in Kentucky, even though recent temperatures have convinced us otherwise," said Matt Dixon, meteorologist in the UK College of Agriculture, Food and Environment.
Some Kentucky wheat has already reached the jointing stage.
Milton Baptist Church, 10076 Hwy 421 N., in Milton, will host a Spring Revival, beginning Sunday, March 26 and continuing through Wednesday, March 29, 2017. All friends and neighbors in the Trimble County community are invited to attend. Services will start at 7:00 p.m. each evening.
A number of years ago I got a phone call from a reader with a request.
He said he was 90 years old and had outlived two wives, yet he wasn't sure he knew what real love is and he hoped that I could explain it.
I don't know if he's still one of my readers -- I haven't heard from him since that one time. But if he is, here's my best answer to his question:
When I was in middle school, I loved red-haired Paul Minardi with all my 13-year-old heart. We passed notes in class and he walked me to homeroom, carrying my books.
Should a presidential appointee and an army of bureaucrats in a remote office building thousands of miles away decide what values, morals and ideas to instill in your children? I think not. Of all the harmful things our government in Washington, D.C., does, micromanaging education is perhaps the worst.
Early mornings turned to late nights and spirited debate echoed through the House and Senate chambers as we closed in on the final days of the 2017 Legislative Session in Frankfort. A flurry of bills were sent to Governor Matt Bevin's desk this week, highlighted by measures to empower our Kentucky teachers and create better learning environments for our Kentucky students.
Fifteen minutes – that's how long the new House Majority let opponents to charter schools discuss a last-minute funding bill that will siphon money from our public schools for years to come.
It was an 11th-hour sneak attack on March 15th, offered in the final moments of the final day for passing legislation. It was certainly not the first assault on the democratic process during the 2017 session, but it's the one with the most potential for damaging the future of Kentucky's school children.

text: Quiet tea house in Highland Park selling eclectic tea and sandwich choices. A bit over prices for the quality. The locale was nice and decoration very interesting. Belongs to Billy a organ from the Smashing Pumpkins. However tea was nothing you can't get from a tea store and food was quite average.

Before Christmas, Defra published its consultation document on the reform of the water abstraction management system under the seasonal title of 'Making the Most of Every Drop'.
Environment minister Dan Rogerson introduced the proposals by saying that 'the old abstraction system is no longer flexible enough to deal with the challenges of climate change and a growing population'.
The proposals relate to all water abstraction and not just licences for farmers…

The idea of patching source code can become a logistical nightmare because you are then responsible for ensuring that the patched source code is kept up to date with future releases and tested. IMO better to allow Jackrabbit's Hudson to do that for me ;-) My preferred option would therefore be to use the jackrabbit-tika component.

Melody: CaughtMature
She couldn't have escaped those confines any sooner. The smell of blood had poured over her the moment she had entered and it took all her control not to attack what remained of those poor lycans. Melody was aware of the whispers as she left the city, the lycans knew of her existence now. But she wondered if she should really just find them and report back. Surly trying to integrate herself and learn of their plans would make more sense?
She shook away the thought and continued out onto the main road. Her routine was simple: sneak round the back of every building, she would use her sense of smell to determine if the lifeforms were human or non-human. If there were in fact any lifeforms. She came across an extremely desolate mansion. Yet when Melody smelled the air, something was off. She went inside to investigate and quickly found signs of people recently living there. Most of the mansion was covered in dust, but here and there it was badly disturbed. She left the mansion with her faith in her hunt renewed.
It was dark when she came across another mansion, at first she thought they couldn't be there, it's owned by someone else. Then she counted the number of guards. Whoever was here wanted to hide something big. Melody sneaked round the back as usual and found a small wooded area. Using the trees as cover she watched the guard's rotation, trying to figure out the best time to sneak into the building.
The guy nearest her at the moment was a beast of man, and his skin was littered with scars. He looked on edge and alert. He smelled like a lycan, but different. She was beginning to wonder if that Fenrir fellow had kept a few facts from her.
She heard a quiet, almost minuscule crack beneath her feet. She rushed to leap to another tree but the sound had been enough. She heard a shout from one of the guards and then movement behind and below her as she leapt from tree to tree. But her panic got the better of her and she misjudged the distance to the next tree and fell to the floor with a painful crash. A heavy weight pinned her to the ground instantly.
"Let me go!" she yelled helplessly, struggling and flailing her limbs hopelessly.

A strong magnitude-7.9 earthquake shook Nepal's capital and the densely populated Kathmandu Valley before noon Saturday, collapsing houses, centuries-old temples and cutting open roads in the worst tremor in the Himalayan nation in over 80 years.
Dozens of people with injuries were being brought to the main hospital in central Kathmandu. There was no immediate estimate on fatalities.
Several buildings collapsed in the center of the capital, the ancient Old Kathmandu, including centuries-old temples and towers, said resident Prachanda Sual.
He said he saw people running through the streets in panic. Ambulance sirens blared and government helicopters hovered overhead.
National radio warned people to stay outdoors and maintain calm because more aftershocks were feared. A 6.6-magnitude aftershock hit about an hour after the initial quake.

Jaipur, Feb 24 (PTI) Rajasthan Chief Minister AshokGehlot said here today that combined efforts were needed tocreate a balance between environment considerations anddevelopment.
Speaking at the inaugural function of a workshop onthe climate change, he said the world today is concernedabout the environment and everybody should make efforts toprotect environment.
"Nature and environment had great importance inancient times but new generations could not understand thesignificance of the nature due to lack of awareness. Today,the entire world is concerned for global warming and threatsto the environment," Gehlot said.
He said the state government has released itsenvironment policy-2010 and has enforced the ban on use ofplastic bags which turned out to be a very effective step.

We track and measure resource flows for development. Development finance is increasingly diverse and complex in the framework of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. We help define international measurement standards to reflect these changes.
Innovative approaches such as social impact investment - the provision of finance to organisations addressing social needs with the explicit expectation of a measurable social, as well as financial, return - can help to further drive economic development and improvement in achieving social outcomes.

Deforestation and forest degradation are the second leading human cause of CO2 emissions contributing to global warming according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Given the importance of the sector, it is surprising that there have been relatively few attempts to synthesise evaluation evidence on addressing deforestation to reduce CO2 emissions. This paper aims to attract attention to the existing evidence base.
Global development aid reached a record high in 2015. Being inspired to do even better, we should also focus on the main purpose of aid. Is it to be the salt or the oil in the water?
Beyond the members of the Development Assistance Committee, these providers of development co-operation also report their aid to us.

He awoke to a dark room, and a few sticks of beef jerky to his left.
"I wouldn't get up to quickly if I were you," said the hooded stranger's voice. "you took a nasty fall."
"Where am i?" said Jay as he looked at the everlasting darkness gleaming on the walls.
"Somewhere or nowhere. Nevertheless, you are in existence, and therefore must be somewhere. Unless, of course, nowhere suits you better?"
"I don't know who you are, but you better hope I won't hurt you. Talk now. You said I might die. Why?"
"Calm down and hold your tongue if you want to live."
He sat at the single table in the center of the small lighted room.
"You can do things, Jay; things you never knew you could do. I can unlock your potential. I can help…"
"Goodbye," Jay said, as he walked out of the door.
"A warehouse? That means I'm in the storage district."
He walked to the next street, and used his own brand of magic to summon a taxi from the depths of Down The Street.
"Take me to Carl's, said Jay.
The cabby nodded in agreement, and flew down the road (five miles over the speed limit, I might add) until the grocery store owned by Carl was just to their right.
"Thanks, cabby," said Jay, as he tipped the driver.
"Twenty dollars feeds me this week, I guess."

Not having to rely, or share the burden of your problems with others, no matter how big or small they may seem, because the world pushes everyone down, and everyone has their own problems, but getting up again is just a part of life and being independant.
The cold air covers me much like a blanket,
The cold rain pierces my skin much like many tiny daggers.
My umberella swings, from right to left, left to right,
Rubbing my wrist raw.
Instead of covering myself in the sanctuary of my small, black umberella,
That could blow away with the soft, soft wind - barely audible... barely there.
I let the raindrops fall hard upon my hair, that now sticks to my face,
Just to hide the tears.
It's easier than having to explain,
Why I get caught up and bought down by the smallest of things.


text: Patient access to care in jeopardy ST. PAUL, Minn., April 24, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Minnesota Hospital Association (MHA) is opposing a payment change plan by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota (BCBS) scheduled to take effect May 1 that will slash payments to hospitals and have a particularly devastating effect on rural health care. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130307/MM73437LOGO ) MHA President and CEO Lawrence Massa described the payment change as converting BCBS payments from a negotiated discount from a hospital's charges — a payment methodology that has been used for small hospitals for decades — to a below-cost or marginally above-cost rate unilaterally set by BCBS. MHA has heard from dozens of hospitals scheduled to have their payments cut on May 1 that the impacts will be "in the hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars." Massa said that for many of these small hospitals in rural communities, the payment cuts will "put them into deep, deep red ink." "To dramatically disrupt long-standing reimbursements to hospitals will, if implemented, jeopardize patients' access to care, especially in rural communities served by smaller hospitals, such as ours," said Kimber Wraalstad, administrator of the Cook County North Shore Hospital in Grand Marais, a critical access hospital. "Because of Blue Cross' unilateral change to the reimbursement methodology and rates, we may have no choice but to terminate our contract with Blue Cross." "As a result of the Blues' plan, we are looking for what changes we need to make to absorb the unexpected and significant cuts from the largest insurer in the state," said Joel Beiswenger, president and CEO of Tri-County Health Care in Wadena, also a critical access hospital. Massa said that BCBS began contacting a portion of hospitals earlier this year about the payment changes. "Instead of contacting all hospitals and warning them about this change at once," Massa said, "Blue Cross is communicating with only 25 or 30 percent of hospitals at a time, perhaps to avoid the inevitable statewide backlash that would be unleashed."

1. Steelers: "It turns out the Steelers are both lucky and good." (Walker)
2. Jets: "Jets are rested coming off their bye week. They seem like the No. 1 team in football." (Clayton)
4. Ravens: "The Ravens narrowly avoided embarrassment by beating the Bills at home in OT." (Walker)
Fox Sports
1. Steelers: "I had said last week that this was the NFL's most complete team, but Pittsburgh has started to suffer injuries on defense. The loss of starting DE Aaron Smith is potentially very big. The good news is their passing offense is back on schedule with Ben Roethlisberger behind center."
2. Jets: "Their bye came at the right time last week. Getting CB Darrelle Revis back to 100 percent is paramount for the success of their defense going forward. It will be interesting to see if that Week 15 game at Pittsburgh will be for home field throughout the playoffs. This is clearly one of the NFL's most complete teams, but that Pittsburgh game could be very telling."
4. Ravens: "Good teams have to win games where they don't play particularly well on one side of the ball. Last week's victory over the visiting Bills would be a good example of that. It was very surprising that Buffalo had that much success against Baltimore's secondary. It will be interesting to see if other teams take the same approach to attack the backend of their defense."
NFL Fanhouse
1. Jets: "The Jets were on a bye this week, and the NFL had one of the uglier weekends of action that you'll ever see. Correlation or causation? Probably the former, although Rex Ryan's explanation of why it's the latter would be awfully entertaining." (Josh Alper)
2. Steelers: "The Steelers got by the Dolphins, though Miami fans want it noted that it was only because of the referee. Of course, those field goals the Dolphins had to settle for earlier in the game may have been a factor. Anyway, Pittsburgh now heads to New Orleans, where the struggling Saints are desperate to stay relevant."
4. Ravens: "Don't read too much into the Ravens needing overtime to beat winless Buffalo. The reality is that no team blows out everyone it's supposed to, and it will do the Ravens good down the road to have found a way to win on a day where they clearly didn't have their "A" game."
1. Steelers: "We're about to get very familiar with these front-running Steelers. After six consecutive early Sunday afternoon games to open the season, Pittsburgh has two Sunday night games (at New Orleans, home against New England) and a Monday nighter (at Cincinnati) in the next three weeks. In fact, half of the Steelers' 10 remaining games will be prime-time affairs, and that doesn't even take into account the potential flex-scheduling angle (Jets at Steelers, Week 15, perhaps?)"
2. Jets: "Judging from history, one more win from the Jets (Green Bay visits this week) and we're going to start hearing that a New York-New York Super Bowl pairing is a distinct possibility. Or did I just jump the gun and go there even before November has arrived? It's understandable, given that the Jets' Rex Ryan and the Giants' Antrel Rolle have declared their teams to be the best the NFL has to offer in the past two weeks."
7. Ravens: "I know Miami fans won't agree with me, but there wasn't a worse call last Sunday than Baltimore being awarded the ball in overtime on that Ray Lewis strip of Bills tight end Shawn Nelson. How do you make the case that Nelson's forward progress wasn't halted when he had been lifted completely off the ground by a Ravens defender? (Watch video here.) Nelson was no longer under his own power, and he wasn't even struggling to fall forward when Lewis went to work on wresting the ball from him. A bogus call if I've ever seen one."
My take: I think the Steelers and Jets deserve the top two spots and the Ravens deserve to be fourth or even fifth in my opinion. Even though the Ravens beat the top two teams they just haven't looked as consistent as both the Jets and Steelers. SI.com ranks the Ravens seventh, which is definitely way too low for a team that is 5-2 at the midway point of their season with wins against the top two teams. I'm sure the Bills game didn't help their rankings, but like any elite team would do, the Ravens still found a way to win. That's the good thing about
this team. If one side of the ball is struggling, the other side has their backs. That's something that's hard to find in the NFL.

To me it is neither. It is padding in the 'gastrodome', that lovely Thames-side food complex launched by Conran last year. Le Pont de la Tour has matured into a solid and sumptuous restaurant, with a jazzy brasserie attached. There is also a bakery, a delicatessen and a wine shop. The influence is Parisian, but the main impression is of a robust yet elegant place, reflecting Conran's own enthusiasms.
This new Mediterranean restaurant feels more ephemeral, as if Conran has contented himself by subscribing to a trend instead of setting one. On opening night the quality of the food varied wildly. As a starter, according to the menu, carpaccio of salmon came with olive oil, lemon and rocket. The dressing tasted like a sweet Scandinavian honey mustard and needed salt.
A little pizza with fontina and prosciutto was excellent, especially the crust. It, too, for some reason came topped with rocket. The antipasto was disappointing. There is logic to Italian displays of meats and pickles. There was no logic to this plate of intense savouries, including a soggy, cold bruschetta laden with chicken liver pate and a sliver of cold sweated red pepper.
As main courses, a rich serving of osso bucco was enlivened by its traditional accompaniment: lemon zest and parsley. With it were superb, lightly cooked savoy cabbage and a greasy, gritty block of polenta. A great big dish of braised calamari was just about as dull as dinner can get. Granted, it looked good. The squid was abundant and the spinach intertwined through it still vibrant. But there was little aroma and, once past the lips, the sauce was gutless. The slight heat of chilli peppers simply pointed up its anaemia. Calf's liver, braised onions and fried sage seemed like an appreciative nod to the trattoria menus of old.
The wine list, cleverly laid out according to style of wine, has tempting bottles from Piedmont, Friuli, Puglia, Tuscany and Sardinia. Pricing, from pounds 8.75 to pounds 19.50, with most bottles at pounds 12-pounds 14, is a model of fairness.
The Cantina's staff are as good as you will find in London. A friend remarked they were like the united colours of Benetton: one was fat, another slim, one was black, another brown, another blonde, another a redhead. My special admiration is reserved for the barmen, one English, one Northern Irish. But all were charming, and so they should be, for a service charge of 15 per cent is built into the bill.
The Cantina is not cheap. With a modest round of pre-dinner drinks, mineral water, a pounds 14.50 bottle of wine and two courses each, we spent just over pounds 30 per person. An afterthought: neither the Pont nor the Cantina has lavatories for the disabled, a serious oversight in such modern, newly designed ground-floor restaurants.
THE OSTERIA Antica Bologna opened quietly in Clapham in April 1990. Its new sister restaurant, Del Buongustaio, opened just as discreetly in Putney six weeks ago. Here the food and wine is internazionale, meaning the menu spans all the Italian regions, including that little represented province located well below the boot of Italy known as Australia. The antipodean bent is no mystery. The proprietors are Rochelle Porteous, an Australian, and Aurelio Spagnuolo, an Italian.
This new restaurant is a dream of a local: pretty, softly lit and smoothly run. Within, a large dish of marinated olives awaits you at table. Service is deft and solicitous. The menu changes daily.
If it carries raviolis, order them. The pasta in the ravioli, stuffed with potato and bacon, was exceptionally light and delicate. Other dishes were good or perfectly sound, including quite gamey venison sausages with root vegetables and polenta. A garlicky spaghetti with oregano was fine. Cuttlefish and potatoes heavily spiked with chilli (described as all'inferno) had too little going on behind the aggressive heat.
Wines are Australian and Italian. The velvety, delicious Rosso di Montalcino from Talenti is pounds 16.50.
THE opening of Mezzaluna New York was rather overshadowed by a naked girl, or at least pictures of one. When a big-time public relations company informed the press that Madonna's new book would be unveiled at Mezzaluna, a Covent Garden spin-off of a cult New York restaurant, everyone rushed for the book and ignored the restaurant.
Even if they had not, 'cult' is pushing it. Mezzaluna was founded in New York in 1984 by Aldo Bozzi, then chairman of Alfa Romeo in America. It spawned several acolytes in America before Neal Grossman (yes, brother of Loyd, he of Masterchef) was recently taken into partnership to open the first London branch in Covent Garden's spanking new Thomas Neal Centre.
Since there was already a more modest Mezzaluna on the Finchley Road (not to be confused with Mezzaluna of New York, Aspen and Beverly Hills), Mr Grossman's London restaurant is somewhat inappropriately called Mezzaluna New York. I prepared myself for jet trash, blown in on the tailwind of a millionaire's private charter. I found a handsome, moderately priced and warmly hospitable restaurant.
I liked it. Not for the food. Not even for the wood-burning pizza oven, fronted by some rather gruesome tile-work. Nor would I even return for the delicious Tuscan olive oil poured with the bread. Rather, I liked the easy atmosphere. When I sat down for Sunday lunch several weeks ago, the afternoon disappeared in a lazy haze. We ate a little, drank a little, ate some more, drank some more, then spun out coffees for another hour. They finally poured us a brandy and vin santo on the house, as if for old times' sake. As we left, dinner service was in swing.
The pizza crust was good, the dough spot on. The toppings are curious. Why bake pesto into bread, burning off its fresh minty zing? Our pasta, too, was poor. Our fusilli, served undercooked, was tough. A savoury, pungent sauce, which included sun-dried tomatoes, capers, peppers and onions, tasted as if it had been tipped out of a jar.
Far and away the best thing was goose carpaccio. This dried fowl took some chewing but had real flavour. It came with truffle oil and parmesan shavings; very nice, but a little pile of salad, topped by a tomato, made the dish resemble an ice-cream sundae.
If, like most of its vogueish London counterparts, Mezzaluna is a pastiche of an Italian restaurant, it does one Italian thing superbly: it makes children welcome and comfortable. As my Sunday afternoon turned to evening, a five-year-old who had been following the pizza chef around seemed as reluctant to leave as I was.
