|Organizational Sketch
The Spring Valley Home Economics Extension Club was part of the a national movement of Extension Clubs. The Cooperative Extension Service is an educational agency of state land-grant colleges and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) created in the early 1900s to address rural agricultural issues. The agency, which started at a time when more than 50 percent of the U.S. population lived in rural areas and 30 percent of the workforce was engaged in farming, provided information on agricultural and home economics subjects and taught people how to use this information. Extension's interaction with rural America helped make possible the American agricultural revolution, which dramatically increased farm productivity.
The basic philosophy of the program was to "help people help themselves." A home demonstration agent worked with farm families, community leaders, and urban families to help them analyze family living situations, to recognize major problems, and to develop programs that aided them in making desired changes. One of the agent's major responsibilities was to convey the results of research in home economics to families in a form which they could understand and apply. Home demonstration agents conducted their work through group meetings, clinics, office and home visits, and by using exhibits, radio, television, and the press.
Extension Service work consisted of three general areas--agriculture, home economics, and 4-H. The homemaking phase of extension work brought families the latest research and information to help them achieve better living. Agents encouraged women to use the time, energy, money, and abilities of the family to achieve the goals the family considered important. Extension workers offered advice on how to prepare good, nutritious low cost meals; select and buy clothes for the family; make the home more convenient, attractive, and comfortable; and make housekeeping easier.
|Scope and Content Note
|The bulk of the collection consists of Club yearbooks (1944-1968) documenting the activities of the Spring Valley Home Economics Extension Club. The yearbooks include recipes for cleaning solutions, pest repellents, and offer advice subjects like gardening, entertaining, and decorating. The rest of the collection, achievement day programs; group photograph; newspaper clippings, make up a relatively small part of the collection and pertain to the events sponsored by the club.

DLA Piper's senior partners are embarking on a two to three-year succession plan as they groom a home-grown managing partner for Australia.
Finding that new leader and re-energising the local practice will be the major goals for the global firm's chief operating officer Andrew Darwin, who begins a short stint as Australian managing partner next month.
Mr Darwin will replace Tony Holland, who will shift to the role of Australian chairman and also head up DLA's Asia-Pacific banking and finance practice.
Mr Holland was made Australian managing partner in May 2011, when he ushered in the formal merger between local alliance partner DLA Phillips Fox with global firm DLA Piper.
Mr Darwin said he was asked by DLA's CEO Sir Nigel Knowles to run the Australian operation partly to bring it closer to the global business. In doing that, he will draw on his experience of working closely on much of DLA's global expansion activity.
"I have a lot of involvement with the international build-out, I've been very heavily involved in the US integration, and I'm on the global board but I've never been based outside the UK," he said.
Mr Darwin said the US is the biggest regional practice for the firm, followed by the UK and then Australia at number three.
"We've put a lot of investment into this region, particularly through the merger in May 2011. So Australia is a big bet for us. We made the investment on the basis that we knew we had to develop the practice. Historically, it was known for its insurance and government practice, rather than corporate and finance. So we knew there was work to be done in evolving the practice and that was part of the business case."
His move will also provide more representatives on DLA's board that are based outside of Europe. Until Mr Darwin's move to Australia, nine of the ten board members resided in Europe.
Mr Darwin was formerly DLA's head partner in the UK and will continue in his role as chief operating officer. He has worked at DLA all his life since he started as a trainee in 1981.
Finding a future leader
A major aim of Mr Darwin's stint in Australia is to groom a home-grown successor.
"We hope that this will be the last generation of Brits that we send out to the Asia-Pacific," he said. "Our model around the firm is that we like to have local people in the market running the local practices."
His term as Australian managing partner was deliberately confined to just two or three years for that reason.
"Now whether it is two years or three – I'm not going to die in a ditch over that, nor is the firm. But success for me is to have chosen and groomed my successor from within the Australian partnership, whether it is someone who is already here or someone who joins within that period."
An evolving market
Mr Darwin said he never expected, when the firm first formed an alliance with local practice Phillips Fox in 2006, that so many competitors would follow. Since then, foreign firms such as Allen & Overy, Ashurst, Clifford Chance, K&L Gates, Linklaters and Norton Rose have all forged a presence in Australia.
"We never anticipated, in our wildest dreams, that the market here would evolve in the way it has," he said. "You've got quite a lot turmoil here in the market. Turmoil creates risks but it creates opportunities."
Banking on success
Mr Holland will retain a management role as Australian chairman but will increasingly look to the regional banking and finance market as a growth area for the firm. He said the local market remained competitive but there were reasons for optimism too.
"There is still a lot of project work and refinancing going on and we are seeing further opportunities through Asia, in the sense that we are through the uncertainty about China," he said. "We are seeing a lot of investment coming out of Asia, not just from China, but also Korea where we have opened an office."
Money matters
The changes at DLA come soon after the release of its financial results for 2012.
The firm increased global revenue by 8.4 per cent to $US2.44 billion ($2.36 billion), but revenue per lawyer remained relatively flat at $605,000 ($585,000) according to UK publication The Lawyer.
More movements at the top
Other global firms with a presence in Australia have been reorganising their management teams this week.
Australian-Chinese firm King & Wood Mallesons appointed partner Stephen Minns as chairman of its Australian board this week, replacing partner Tim Bednall.
Norton Rose's chairman in Australia, Adrian Ahern, was also promoted to the role of global chairman, from May 1.

The founder of a charity focused on feeding needy families is charged with money laundering, filing false tax returns and theft of more than $183,000 in donations.
USA Harvest founder Hugh "Stan" Curtis faces seven criminal charges, including mail fraud, theft, money laundering and tax fraud. The non-profit moves food from those who have too much to those who have too little.
Curtis founded Kentucky Harvest in 1987, which led to the founding of USA Harvest, a national organization, just two years later.
Liquor is making its way to La Grange store shelves after city council members passed revised alcohol laws Sept. 4.
Now individuals can apply for licenses — but it could be a while before they're approved, as the state faces a backlog of applications after several cities passed "wet" votes earlier this year.
In July, La Grange voters overwhelmingly supported making the city wet by a nearly 2-to-1 margin.
La Grange Police officers seized more than 35 marijuana plants last week after discovering them being grown in a resident's backyard.
Adam Behling, 31, is charged with cultivating and trafficking marijuana.
Behling lives at the home on McQuire Court where the plants were found on Sept. 4.
According to police, the plants were found growing along the backyard privacy fence and in several containers.
A near-collision between a train and semi-truck in Crestwood Friday has county officials urging CSX to make changes.
On Friday afternoon, around 3 p.m., a semi-truck became stuck on Railroad Avenue — a frequently-occurring event, despite posted "no truck" signs.
According to witness accounts, within minutes of the truck becoming stranded on the track, crossing gates lowered and bells warned of an oncoming train.
With the debt repayment for Oldham Reserve looming large, La Grange Mayor Bill Lammlein has called a special city council meeting to address the situation Sept. 17.
Lammlein said the meeting will focus on ways the city can generate revenue to pay the $8.2 million debt.
In 2005, the city and county governments issued $10 million bonds to purchase Oldham Reserve, a 1,000-acre business park in La Grange.
The debt includes interest and payments already made.
Police believe a property dispute led to the fatal shooting of a Henry County man on Saturday afternoon.
Detectives from Kentucky State Police Post 5 are investigating the the death of Joseph Bibelhauser, 61.
A 911 call alerted KSP to an altercation and possible shooting in the 7600 block of Ballardsville Road in Smithfield.
According to police, Bibelhauser died at the scene from a gunshot wound to the head.
Six months before Valentine's Day, the staff of Minish & Potts Florist in Crestwood is up to their noses in roses.
Since mid-August, they've snipped and glued more than 13,500 roses and carnations for garlands they create for the World's Championship Horse Show at Freedom Hall during the Kentucky State Fair.
American athletes earned more Olympic medals than any other team this year, yet the United States still has a higher rate of obesity than any other country.
Local fitness instructors hope to change that.
But from Astanga yoga to Zumba, Oldham County residents can find a wider variety of workouts than ever before, thanks to local classes and instructors.
More than 2,500 athletes passed through Oldham County Sunday during the Ironman Louisville triathlon.
Although police say the event went without major incident, they're investigating tacks on U.S. 42 that left several cyclists – and others – with flat tires.
Oldham County Police Maj. Jimmie Laytham said data is still be compiled from the event but that it appears to have been "extremely well-managed and successful."
Oldham County students passed more than 1,500 advanced placement exams in 2012, making them eligible to earn college credit before graduating high school.
Students passed two-thirds of the 2,287 tests issued with a 3 or higher on the AP exams' five-point scale.
Most Kentucky public universities will accept a 3 or better for college credit.

College Park MD (SPX) Jul 18, 2008
NASA's Deep Impact spacecraft has created a video of the moon transiting (passing in front of) Earth as seen from the spacecraft's point of view 31 million miles away. Scientists are using the video to develop techniques to study alien worlds.
"Making a video of Earth from so far away helps the search for other life-bearing planets in the Universe by giving insights into how a distant, Earth-like alien world would appear to us," said University of Maryland astronomer Michael A'Hearn, principal investigator for the Deep Impact extended mission, called EPOXI.
Deep Impact made history when the mission team directed an impactor from the spacecraft into comet Tempel 1 on July 4, 2005. NASA recently extended the mission, redirecting the spacecraft for a flyby of comet Hartley 2 on Nov. 4, 2010.
EPOXI is a combination of the names for the two extended mission components: a search for alien (extrasolar) planets during the cruise to Hartley 2, called Extrasolar Planet Observations and Characterization (EPOCh), and the flyby of comet Hartley 2, called the Deep Impact eXtended Investigation (DIXI).
During a full Earth rotation, images obtained by Deep Impact at a 15-minute cadence have been combined to make a color video. During the video, the moon enters the frame (because of its orbital motion) and transits Earth, then leaves the frame.
Other spacecraft have imaged Earth and the moon from space, but Deep Impact is the first to show a transit of Earth with enough detail to see large craters on the moon and oceans and continents on Earth.
"To image Earth in a similar fashion, an alien civilization would need technology far beyond what Earthlings can even dream of building," said Sara Seager, a planetary theorist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Mass., and a co-investigator on EPOXI.
"Nevertheless, planet-characterizing space telescopes under study by NASA would be able to observe an Earth twin as a single point of light - a point whose total brightness changes with time as different land masses and oceans rotate in and out of view.
"The video will help us connect a varying point of planetary light with underlying oceans, continents, and clouds -- and finding oceans on extrasolar planets means identifying potentially habitable worlds." Said Seager.
"Our video shows some specific features that are important for observations of Earth-like planets orbiting other stars," said Drake Deming of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. Deming is deputy principal investigator for EPOXI, and leads the EPOCh observations.
"A 'sun glint' can be seen in the movie, caused by light reflected from Earth's oceans, and similar glints to be observed from extrasolar planets could indicate alien oceans. Also, we used infrared light instead of the normal red light to make the color composite images, and that makes the land masses much more visible."
That happens because plants reflect more strongly in the near-infrared, Deming explained. Hence the video illustrates the potential for detecting vegetated land masses on extrasolar planets by looking for variations in the intensity of their near-infrared light as the planet rotates.

As the New York Daily News said of John Hume on May 24 1998, after the signing of the Good Friday agreement: "More than 20 years ago, he first packaged the ideas at the core of the Good Friday agreement: a new assembly and shared powers between North and South. In the end Hume never budged. Everyone else had to change their minds about killing and discrimination."
We can now add that everyone else has to change their minds about power-sharing and support for the police too. This morning, it is essential that we remember one group of people, the families of the 3,637 victims of the troubles. For them, today will be a day of raw emotion, their sense of relief will be tinged by sadness, frustration and anger. These families will want to ask some simple but very powerful questions. What were the Troubles for? Why did so many innocent people have to die? Why did Ian Paisley and Gerry Adams not seize the opportunity for power-sharing at the time of the Sunningdale agreement in 1973, and avoid the terrible pain and loss in the succeeding 34 years?
What message has Gerry Adams today for the family of the young, innocent Catholic man murdered on March 26 1974 by an IRA bomb that exploded as his car drove past the Upper Springfield area of West Belfast? What message does Dr Paisley have for the family of the young student who was murdered by the UDA during the Ulster Workers' Council strike in 1974 led by Dr Paisley.
How do Peter Hain and the British government explain the award of £1m to a UDA project last week, when the family of this young man were given less than £100 towards his funeral costs, as recorded in a book about by the Troubles, Lost Lives by David McKittrick?
These are tough and difficult questions that need to be asked, as we begin the task again of building a new Ireland based on truth and justice for all.
Cllr Tim Attwood
SDLP, Upper Falls, Belfast
Does the photograph of Ian Paisley and Gerry Adams sitting together really "inspire other divided but war-weary communities to embrace the compromise of politics"? Or does it encourage extremists to endorse violence, use the language of bigotry, build community hatred - and then sit triumphantly grinning on the smouldering wreck they have created, lording it over the more decent moderates their decades-long, hate-filled attitudes have consigned to the political graveyard?
Matthew Huntbach
After the deal between the DUP and Sinn Fein, those who know and love Northern Ireland can look forward to a boom of a different kind from the ones that have gone off in the past. On normal political issues, there is little that divides the communities: the scope for economic development must now, surely, be enormous. Northern Ireland is fortunate in having a population that lacks any significant class division in either community. The people are of one mind on such core questions as investment in jobs, education and rural development.
Until the power-sharing deal, attitudes to murderous violence were the defining political issue in Northern Ireland. If the politicians now seek to create divisions where none existed before, both the Orange and the Green will, to use a word from the old lexicon of Northern Irish politics, be traitors.
Tony Robinson
So after 40 years, arch enemies declare peace in Northern Ireland to declare war on water rates. Maybe normal politics may yet flourish in the province.
Malachy Pakenham
St Albans, Herts
He may have fouled up Iraq, but credit where credit is due, Ian Paisley and Gerry Adams sitting next to each other and both smiling. Well done Tony, I never thought I would live to see the day.

Star Trek Into Darkness
Cancer patient sees Star Trek Into Darkness early
12:00 PM on 01.03.2013 // Hubert Vigilla@HubertVigilla
J.J. Abrams arranged for a screening of the full film
Earlier in the week we reported that a terminal cancer patient may get to see Star Trek Into Darkness early. Dan was given just weeks to live and would have been content with just seeing the nine-minute prologue. J.J. Abrams himself reached out Dan and his wife to let them know he'd try to arrange something.
Good news: it happened. Dan and his wife saw the whole film.
Dan's wife posted the following on Reddit:
Hi everyone, it's Daniel's wife, we are of course sworn to secrecy, BUT we are officially allowed to say we saw it and we enjoyed it IMMENSELY as a film and as a gesture.... However; Daniel 'hates' being an 'inspiring cancer story' we his friends and loved ones would prefer for the update to have more of a heartfelt message of giving, especially during this season: This is a story of us giving something to him, the 'internet' community giving something to him and ultimately being a heartwarming gift to our friends, family and so many others. This story of us (and of course JJAbrams & Bad Robot) being able to give this surprise gift of a screening to a huge movie buff like Daniel, especially a film made by a film maker who obviously makes movies with such care, with a fan like Daniel in mind.
You can read her full statement at Reddit. Now, if you'll excuse me, I seem to have something in my eye.

Page: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [Lineup] [Specs]
From the side, the F-150 features a new profile that will carryover to the rest of the F-Series lineup. It consists of a waterline from front to rear, and is used as a visual body separation around the exterior. It will help when differentiating between the models, such as with the addition of a two-tone paint treatment or other visual cues.
The other feature that instantly identifies the new F-Series from the side is the drop in the beltline at the driver's door. Even the Super Cab features the dropped styling cue. The glass is also nearly flush with the doors, and the doors sport pull-through type door handles for easy access, even when the grabber is wearing thick work gloves.
The new F-150 features four doors standard on all models, and the rear-swinging access doors on all but the SuperCrew provide good access to the rear cabin space, but more about that later.
The good news is that there are no exterior handles or visible hinges on the rear doors for a cleaner look. To finish the side view, bench-shaped or tubular running boards are available.
Behind the passenger cabin is a new box design, which comes in a variety of configurations.
The Styleside box is available in three lengths: 8, 6.5, and 5.5 foot, the latter of which helps with garagability. The new 6.5-foot Flareside box is available on STX, XLT, and FX4 models, and features SMC exterior panels with interior steel. Black footpads and outside cargo hooks finish the Flareside box package. The badge on the rear also steps up from 5 to 9 inches, and is proportional to the new, larger tailgate. For 2004, the beds have been enlarged by 2 inches, with an inch added at the bottom and another at the top. The total cargo volume of the 6.5-foot box is 65 cubic feet, which is almost 12 percent better than the '03 model, 13 percent larger than the Chevy Silverado, and a whopping 42 percent larger than found inside the Tundra's cargo box.
And while a larger box means a bigger tailgate, lifting and dropping the gate is easier than ever, thanks to the new Tailgate Assist feature. Tailgate Assist is a first in the segment, and it works so well, expect to see it on all new Ford products with a tailgate. A torsion bar is built inside the tailgate, and is designed to twist as the gate is lowered or raised, bearing some of the weight. Instead of the usual 34 lbs of effort required to lift the gate, the Tailgate Assist limits it to around 18 lbs of effort; and it works exceptionally well, making the tailgate feel as if it's made of aluminum instead of steel. Because Ford listens to its current owners, the tailgate is still completely removable, too.
Although a lot of the styling was done with computer-aided design, Ford designers still work in clay in order to get a feel for what the truck is like in a three-dimensional setting and to evoke an emotional reaction. Clay models help the designers win final approval from the executives, and a lot of time is spent on making them look as good as possible. The clay models are dressed in Dynoc, a kind of clay wallpaper that simulates the final paint. It allows the designers and the internals a chance to get a more realistic feel for the product, as well as decide which colors to offer when the truck goes into production. You can see how easy it is to cover the clay with the Dynoc for a "finished" look.
Making a clay model takes time and money, and some manufacturers have stopped making them altogether to save a few bucks, instead relying solely on CAD. But for Ford, because of the importance of the F-Series, there was no question that clay would be used for both the exterior and interior design studies.
Interior Styling, or, Alright, Who Kidnapped the BMW Designer?
Whether or not you think the exterior designers went far enough with the F-150's new body, that won't be the question with the interior. The 2004 F-150 is available in Regular Cab, SuperCab and SuperCrew models, which means there will be plenty of room inside whether you use it alone or with the gang.
Looking more like a luxury vehicle than a truck, the inside of the F-150 is stylish, contemporary, and striking. Ford describes it as modern, precise and industrial. Jim Smithbauer, who, as the design manager for appearance and craftsmanship played a big role in creating the new interior, felt it was about time the interior of the truck received as much attention as the exterior. Truck drivers put an average of 45,000 miles a year on their trucks, and were looking for a pleasant environment as well as good comfort.
"People are spending more and more time in their trucks these days both for work and personal use, but have just come to expect that they have to live with a basic interior. Our inspiration was that a truck can be comfortable but still be a Tough Truck," said Smithbauer.
"The interior of this truck really elevates the standard in the pickup world," he continues. "The FX4 and Lariat will wow truck customers. Details like the flow-through console and the floor shifter will change people's expectations of comfort and refinement possible in a truck."

House again in Committee on Clause 4.
Lord Dholakia moved Amendment No. 59:
The noble Lord said: This amendment is grouped with Amendments Nos. 63, 67 and 73. I refer to the report of the Joint Committee on Human Rights and, in particular, to paragraphs 27, 28 and 29.
I turn to paragraph 27. The committee reported that it was concerned that there was no requirement for the Secretary of State to show that there were objectively reasonable grounds for depriving someone of British citizenship. That appeared to put at risk a person's legal status without adequate safeguards against arbitrariness.
In reply, the Home Office referred to a long history of allowing the Secretary of State to deprive people of British nationality on the basis of a subjective view. It argued that it was entirely appropriate that the Home Secretary should be permitted to decide whether a person had done something seriously prejudicial to the vital interest of the United Kingdom or a British overseas territory.
The committee said at paragraph 29 that it could not agree with that line of argument. It recognised that the Secretary of State was likely to be in a particularly good position to form a judgment and that it may, in consequence, be entitled to considerable respect. However, it considered that the Secretary of State should be required to justify the decision by showing that there were reasonable grounds for it.
The conclusion of the Joint Committee is interesting. It said:
In taking into account the arguments of the committee, I believe that we need to insert the words "on reasonable grounds" into Clause 4, as Amendment No. 59 seeks to do. Similarly, Amendment No. 63 seeks to insert those words into Clause 4 at page 3, line 8. Amendment No. 67 seeks to leave out the words "he is satisfied" and insert "there is reason to believe" in Clause 4 at page 3, line 13. Finally, Amendment No. 73 seeks to insert in Clause 4 after the word "satisfied" the words "on reasonable grounds" at page 3, line 26.
Those are the requirements which will satisfy the Human Rights Joint Committee. This matter has not been discussed by the House of Commons. Therefore, I hope that the Committee will agree to the amendment and that the Minister will consider this request sympathetically. I beg to move.
Lord Kingsland: I believe that, to some extent, the debate on this amendment runs on from the debate on the previous group of amendments. Therefore, I do not believe that it is necessary to go into all the arguments that were deployed immediately before the dinner adjournment.
I share the noble Lord's approach to the text of the clause. In my submission, it is appropriate to require the Secretary of State to justify his or her decisions on reasonable grounds. That will have the effect of placing the initial burden of proof on the Secretary of State. As things stand, the noble Lord the Minister is correct in saying that the Secretary of State will have to give reasons. But, in these circumstances, the onus will be on the defendant to judicially review, in some circumstances, or question in the course of appeal, in others, their reasonableness.
In this context, "reasonableness" means something different from the word "reasonable" in the tabled amendment. Here, "reasonableness" is an expression used in the context of the famous Wednesbury case. Has the Secretary of State behaved within a range of conduct which is regarded as reasonable by the courts? That is a far lighter test than that which the noble Lord, Lord Dholakia, wishes to insert into the Bill, and I respectfully support his approach. Given the subjective nature of the Secretary of State's power, it will be extremely difficult to use, successfully, the Wednesbury weapon.
Lord Avebury: I rise to quote briefly from the report of the Joint Committee on Human Rights, to which my noble friend referred. For the sake of those outside this Chamber who may read the debate and not understand what Wednesbury entails, it is important to spell it out, as the Select Committee did. The committee stated that to prove that a decision was unreasonable within the terms of Wednesbury means,
Lord Filkin: As the noble Lord, Lord Kingsland, said, this runs on from our important and challenging debate before the dinner break. I do not expect that any of us is likely to substantially shift our opinions, even after a good dinner. Nevertheless, I shall seek to explain why the Government believe that the amendments are unnecessary.
As we have indicated previously, and as we informed the noble Lord, Lord Lester, in response to the JCHR report, we believe there are strong grounds for the Secretary of State having the power to make the initial judgment, which we believe has to be essentially subjective in the light of both the evidence before him and his judgment about the risk to the state, which is the second element which is germane to this issue.
There is provision elsewhere in Clause 4 for the reasonableness of the Secretary of State's position to be tested on appeal. In any event, the enforceable principles of administrative law import a requirement that the discretion be exercised reasonably, as has been indicated.
The fundamental point is that the appeal is not limited to judicial review, nor is it limited to the Wednesbury test; it is broader. The statutory appeal is a full appeal on the merits as well as on the law. Therefore, it is not, I suggest, simply as the noble Lord, Lord Kingsland, or perhaps the noble Lord, Lord Dholakia, suggested: that one had to overcome the quite severe burden of demonstrating that it was an act that no reasonable Secretary of State would have taken, but it is level on the merits of the case.
As presently defined, Clause 4 would empower the Secretary of State to withdraw citizenship by deprivation order if he is satisfied as to certain matters. As I have indicated, we believe that it is only the Secretary of State who is in a position to make that judgment.
As regards the ability to deprive someone of the basis of fraudulently obtained naturalisation or registration as a citizen, again the Secretary of State must be satisfied that the registration or naturalisation has been obtained by fraud before he can deprive.
Amendment No. 67 suggests that potential statelessness should be a matter capable of objective determination. But the reality is that there is endless scope for discussion, debate or disagreement over whether a person has a claim to another nationality. That has been our experience in implementing the British Nationality (Hong Kong) Act 1997, Section 1 of which confers in certain circumstances an entitlement to registration as a British citizen on a British overseas citizen who,
The fact that the Bill would facilitate deprivation of nationality on the subjective view of the Secretary of State does not mean that it would be exercised arbitrarily. The Bill requires him to give written reasons, as referred to by the noble Lord, Lord Kingsland, for his decision, and the right of appeal for which we provide would enable a person to bring before an independent body any issue bearing on either the legality or the merits of the decision in order for it to be sustained on appeal. It would not be a case of the Secretary of State simply saying that he was satisfied without explaining why.
The appeals provided for in Clause 4 are full appeals, as I have signalled, where the appellate body could review both the legality and the merits of the decision. It would not, as the JCHR suggested in its report, be limited to considering whether the Secretary of State had acted wholly unreasonably.
I should add finally that a requirement for the Secretary of State to be "satisfied" that certain pre-conditions are met presently occurs at various points in the 1981 Act without the express qualification that his satisfaction would be "on reasonable grounds". We believe, therefore, that the proposed amendments are unnecessary, particularly because of the opportunity to exercise a full appeal on the merits if so chosen.
Lord Dholakia: I thank the Minister for that explanation. I shall obviously study his comments carefully. It may be appropriate to consult the members of the Joint Committee on Human Rights which came to that conclusion, as to whether the explanation offered by the Minister was available to them. The committee seemed to reach a particular decision. It may be necessary to reflect on that decision and come back on Report. I am sure that the arguments on Clause 5 will continue for a long time. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
The Deputy Chairman of Committees (Baroness Gould of Potternewton): Before calling Amendment No. 60, I must inform the Committee that if that amendment is agreed to, I cannot call Amendments Nos. 61 or 62.

More than 500 people in need got a warm meal at Siloam Mission today, and those who served them seemed to enjoy the affair as much as those who dined on turkey and all the trimmings.
"I was heading down the wrong path, quite honestly. I could have been one of these people," said David Cowdery, one of more than 80 volunteers who prepared the dinner.
"I always knew people needed help," added his son, James. "I just didn't know how many."
The sit-down dinner — no one had to stand in line to be served — began with grace led by Floyd Perras, executive director of the mission.
"We want to make this a special thing like at our own Christmas meal," Perras told CBC News. "We get served at the table. It gives everybody an opportunity to feel appreciated."
Garry Beatun, who has had difficulty finding a permanent place to stay since moving to Winnipeg from Selkirk, said he was grateful for the warm reception he found at the mission.
"It's amazing what they actually do here for the people," Beatun said. "It's nice to see that people do still care."
Oliver Wood agreed, saying being with other people at Christmas was as important as the food he received: "It makes me not feel as lonely, I guess."
Everyone who came to dinner received a stocking with soap, socks and sweet treats. And, thanks to a donation from E-Care Contact Centres, those who spend the night will find a backpack full of hygiene items, socks and treats beside their bed in the morning.

Home > National News > Article
The day after the auction, there was no evidence of a successful result. No SOLD sticker slapped across an advertising board; no board, for that matter. Nor any signs of celebrations. No empty champagne bottles or party hats in a nearby rubbish bin.
The day after the auction, it was as if nothing had changed. The weather was overcast. Thunderstorms threatened, so the beach was not busy: a few family groups were scattered on the sand; a couple with a toddler paddled in the shallows; a noisy group of boyos waist-deep in the water hurled a ball about.
Nothing suggested that something remarkable and ridiculous had taken place on Brighton Beach the previous day. One of the photogenic timber bathing boxes was sold. Despite persistent rain, a healthy crowd of people gathered to watch or participate in an auction where bidding started at $85,000 and bounced steadily upwards to a nice round $150,000 - at a time when the property market is supposedly as flat as the bay on a calm afternoon.
Bathing box number 47, painted in cheery shades of bright blue and yellow, is smaller than your average single garage. Like the other boxes, it boasts neither electric power nor running water and is essentially a glorified shed without tools. Yet the price it fetched was only slightly less than the top bid for a flat in St Kilda on the same day last weekend, and even closer to the sale price for a four-bedroom unit in Sunshine North.
I lusted after Number 47 when I first learned it was up for sale, then decided it would be immoral to lash out on such a shameless indulgence when aspiring first home buyers are struggling just to get into the game. Having not even been in the ballpark with my guesstimate of the price, this was like a man with a Shetland pony declining to race it in the Melbourne Cup for fear of upstaging Bart Cummings.
Apart from a lack of funds, there was another reason my hand did not go up at the auction last weekend. You don't need to own a box, or even live anywhere near Brighton, to enjoy the beach. Nor do you need to own one of the boxes to use them. No, I'm not advocating illegal entry. But you can photograph the bathing boxes for free; tuck towel and shorts under one if it's blowy; use them to get your bearings when swimming far from shore.
If you head straight out from a box close to the one that's just changed hands, you'll find a channel through the rocks in the shallows. But I'm not saying which box it is. In a strange way, I've come to regard it as mine. (And I hope the real owner has also noticed it could use some paint.)
I feel irked when I visit the beach and find anyone camped near my box. And there's been a lot of activity lately because of the festive season, with boxes being the venue of choice for many rounds of Christmas drinks. Folding seats have dotted the sand; bottles have been uncorked in opened boxes, many of which have half-doors that resemble Mr Ed's stall.
In or around a box is a lovely place for refreshments if the weather is kind. If it's not - and conditions have been changeable recently - all those sandswept partygoers remind me of cricket fans who determinedly turn up early for the Boxing Day Test even when it's raining. Their stoic expressions are matched by those of newly married couples, who arrive with photographers on inclement evenings to find their new shoes sinking in the sand and carefully coiffed hair being blown south to Beaumaris.
The bathing boxes feature in bridal snaps all over Melbourne. They have made the cover of the telephone directory, been used as the backdrop for happy snaps with Australian Open tennis champions, and feature in tourist brochures and on internet sites. A fellow called Mark Hollow could have had no idea what he was starting when he erected what is believed to have been the first Brighton bathing box in 1862. Showing commendable initiative, he did so without permission from local authorities.
By the early 1900s, there were also boxes on the beachfront in Hampton, Sandringham, Black Rock, Mentone and Mordialloc. Most disappeared over the years, victims of tempests, neglect, or short-sighted councils. Some of those in the Brighton region were destroyed by storms; many of the remaining 81 were shifted from places roundabouts during the 1930s, first to the beach and subsequently, after some dunkings, back from the high-water mark. Now they enjoy heritage listing.
I seldom pass the bathing boxes without thinking of the late Struan Sutherland, the maverick medical scientist. A few years before he died, early in 2002, I visited him at his Brighton home, where he was composing his own obituary. He offered me a lamington and spoke with remarkable candour about his degenerative neurological condition, his work on spider venoms that earned him an international reputation, and music. "If there is a heaven, and I find myself there, I would be quite happy to wash Beethoven's socks."
He likened his handwriting to "the meanderings of a drunken ant dipped in ink" but said he still managed regular walks. He dedicated his autobiography, A Venomous Life, in part to "the God that made Brighton Beach". I thought that was lovely. So, too, the last line of the book: "Life is excellent." Especially anywhere around the bathing boxes. I reckon Struan might have enjoyed that auction last weekend. I can imagine him raising his hand to push the price up so that some silly bugger had to pay more for what most people enjoy for free.

Q'orianka Kilcher isn't a name that you were going to have to memorize any time soon, and considering that she hasn't really done much other than her opening role as Pocahontas in the 2005 Colin Farrell movie (hey! He must be happy that it's his day!) THE NEW WORLD, you probably aren't up to date with her activist shenanigans.
Turns out Kilcher and her mother were arrested at the White House yesterday for protesting a visit from Alan Garcia, the president of Peru. The actress tied herself to a fence and her mother poured a sticky, black substance on her to express their concern over the, um... well, she has a thing for supporting indigenous tribes by acting a fool at the White House, apparently.
But hey, at least she's 20 now, completely legal and if you're into preventing climate change or keeping Peruvian Indians safe, she might just be available.

Enjoyable. Climb the technical cracks and flakes that form a long shallow groove on the right.
This is a good route on nice rock, with plenty of variety and a couple of tricky moves. The gear is very good up to two-thirds height and still reasonable on the last bit.
Definately hard for the grade and quite serious in the top third.
Nice route. OK at the grade I thought.

The Backstreet Boys to get "Tell-All" Documentary
Since forming back in 1993, the Backstreet Boys have stood out as one of the most successful boy bands of our time, but what's behind all those carefully styled personae and choreographed dance moves?
Soon, fans will get to find out when a new documentary based on their careers promises a "tell-all project about all five original members of the band."
Directed by Stephen Kijak, the film will mark the BSB's 20th anniversary. In a statement, the band said, "We always wanted to make a film and now is the ideal time. With Kevin back, the fact that we are masters of our own destiny, a new album in the works and our 20th anniversary -- it all adds up to being the right time to share our story."
Hinting at a look into the darker side of the boy band, Kijak stated, "What drew me to this project is their openness and willingness to push themselves into uncomfortable places, to be vulnerable and honest and to be really trusting of the filmmaking team to steer them in the right direction. BSB is getting real and it has been exciting to work with them as they explore their past and start to look towards their futures."

Madison, WI may only be a few weeks old, but we had plenty of people turn out to claim their $1 burritos to celebrate the grand opening of the store! Don't take my word for it, though, check out some of these photos! Word on the street was the line took almost an hour to get through. But no worries, we had DJ Tyler Kruze from Z104 pumpin music through the parking lot to keep things interesting.
We had a great time throwing this little party for you guys, hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!

4. Can I practice with a temporary license until a full license is issued?
Virginia does not issue a temporary license, however, pending the outcome of the next examination administered by the NCCPA, an applicant who has met all other requirements at the time his application is submitted may be granted provisional licensure. The provisional licensure shall be valid until the applicant takes the next subsequent NCCPA examination and its results are reported, not to exceed 30 days. A provisional license may not be extended, renewed or re-issued.
5. How can I apply for prescriptive authority?
In Virginia, a licensed physician assistant is authorized to prescribe controlled substances and devices for Schedules II through VI. The board requires successful completion of a minimum of 35 hours of acceptable training in pharmacology. The application for employment protocol must include a request for prescriptive authority which will constitute a written agreement with the licensed physician for the supervision of the prescriptive practices of the assistant.

If you've ever watched The Amazing Race, you've likely wondered how well you would fare on an around the world adventure- navigating unfamiliar cultures, communicating in foreign languages and taking on challenges unlike anything you've ever done at home.
If you're serious about it, and don't like your chances of being selected for a prime time television show (and getting all that vacation time from work), here are six of the world's best adventure contests. They may not be televised, but they're sure to push you to your limits and provide an unforgettable experience.
Big Blue Lake Tahoe 36

Every August, adventure racers head to Nevada for the Lake Tahoe 36, put on by Big Blue Adventure. Each team is given a map and must find the route they think best, stopping at check points as they travel 20 miles by kayak, 50 miles by mountain bike (with a 12,000 foot altitude gain) and 20 miles on foot.
There are no cash prizes for winners; everyone competes for pride (and a commemorative prize for the top three finishers).
The Global Scavenger Hunt
The annual Global Scavenger Hunt lasts three weeks and sends the savviest of globe trotters around the world in 25 teams of two. For a $9,900 entry fee (per person), and provided you're selected, you'll visit ten different countries and be an "active sight seer" in each. Solve riddles, taste exotic dishes and explore new sights, everywhere from Dubai to Iceland to Athens.
If you think you're up to the task, apply today – and see where the 2012 event takes you!
Coast to Coast
To win Speight's Coast to Coast, racers have to travel across New Zealand's South Island. The distance is 150 miles: contestants bike 87 (including a mountain state), run 22 and kayak 42.
The 30 year old event includes three races: the Longest Day challenges individuals to complete the course without stopping. The Two-Day event, with a night's rest, has individual and team categories.
Alaska Mountain Wilderness Classic
The Alaska Mountain Wilderness Classic takes a minimalist approach to rules. Racers choose how to travel, whether by foot, ski, or even paraglider (nothing motorized) – but they must carry all their equipment and leave nothing behind.
A new course is chosen every three years; they usually run about 150 miles and go through at least one of Alaska's mountain ranges.
Primal Quest
Primal Quest is a race- and an endurance race at that. Around 50 teams of four head into the wilderness with only a map and a compass for navigation and fight for $150,000 in prize money.
They'll have to climb, paddle, bike and swim- without resting- through South Dakota's Badlands. The last Primal Quest took place in 2009, but rumor has it that there will be a 2012 race.
Tierra Viva
In the Tierra Viva, four person teams trek more than 300 miles in no more than six days, through the mountains, valleys, lakes and rivers of Argentina's Patagonia. No required stops means they can hike, climb, bike and kayak day and night, through some of the most beautiful and difficult terrain on the planet.
Considering the $10,000 first place prize, it's unlikely anyone will stop to rest for long.
If you think this level of adventure is for you, KMS Events has a calendar of upcoming adventure races around the world. Also check out the United States Adventure Racing Association for resources, information and racing clubs by state.

Lydia Huntley Sigourney
Henry Howard Comstock, - Poem by Lydia Huntley Sigourney
Youngest child of the late Capt. JOHN C. COMSTOCK, died at Hartford,
February 11th, 1862, a fortnight after his father, aged 11 months.
It was a fair and mournful sight
Once at the wintry tide,
When to the dear baptismal rite
Was brought an infant, sweet and bright,
His father's couch beside,
His dying father's couch beside,
Whose eye, with tranquil ray,
Beheld upon that beauteous head
The consecrated water shed,
Then calmly pass'd away.
A little while the lovely babe,
As if by angels lent,
With soft caress and soothing wile
Invok'd a widow'd mother's smile,
Then to his father went.
Christ's holy seal upon his brow,
Christ's sign upon his breast,
He 'scaped from all the cares and woes
That earth inflicts or manhood knows,
And enter'd with the blest.

LOS ANGELES — As part of the Grammy's golden anniversary theme, Rock-Ola Manufacturing Corp. was invited to provide jukeboxes for the music awards program's interview lounge. The Recording Academy's annual music awards ceremony was held at the Staples Center here on February 10.
Rock-Ola supplied six jukeboxes, each of which represented one of the past five decades of music celebrated by the awards. They included the Tempo II from the 1960s, part of personal collection belonging to Rock-Ola chief executive Glenn Streeter. Rounding out the Rock-Ola sampling were the Nostalgic Bubbler Music Center, Peacock CD, two Chevrolet-branded CD jukes and a prototype of iRock, the factory's latest home model that was decked out in sleek, tuxedo black trim for the occasion.
Over the past 50 years, the jukebox has earned iconic status in the music industry and popular culture, Rock-Ola noted. "The choice of the Academy to select Rock-Ola as the maker of the jukeboxes is a great honor," said company president John Schultz. "Although we're usually present at amusement and home recreation shows, ultimately, we're in the music business. It's great to be invited to the 50th presentation of the Grammys."
The Torrance, CA, company's jukes were on display in record-producer Randy Jackson's interview lounge. A successful studio musician and producer, Jackson has worked with such artists as Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and Madonna, among many others. He is also known as the "judge of reason" balancing Simon Cowell and Paul Abdul on the reality TV show "American Idol."
ONE FOR THE LOBBY: Glenn and Jodie Streeter show off their Tempo II Rock-Ola jukebox in Randy Jackson's Grammy interview lounge in Los Angeles. Introduced in the early 1960s, the Tempo II models 1485 (200 selections) and 1478 (120 selections), shown here, are stylized with boomerang grill badges and feature static displays. The classic vinyl box was one of six Rock-Ola models, representing 50 years of music, on display in the lounge.
In the 1940s and '50s, when airtime on radio stations was limited, artists' successes were often determined by the frequency of play of their music on jukeboxes. During this golden age, Billboard published top jukebox hits in every issue and celebrity artists frequently posed with jukeboxes in ads to promote record sales. As the leading source of entertainment during the post-WWII years, a jukebox could be found in nearly every restaurant and tavern and sometimes even in the bus and train stations.
"Rock-Ola jukeboxes were a natural theme choice for the Grammys," said chief executive Streeter, who was invited to rehearsals two days before the big event to get a first-hand look at what goes on behind the scenes. The jukebox pioneer, joined by his wife Jody, listened to Alicia Keys warm up, with some help from John Mayer, for her opening number at the awards. They concluded the evening at a Grammy bash at The Palm.
LIKE A ROCK: Rock-Ola manufactures Chevrolet-themed compact disc jukeboxes exclusively for General Motors and Chevrolet dealerships. As a major sponsor of the 2008 Grammy Awards, GM asked Rock-Ola to deliver two Chevy boxes to Randy Jackson's interview lounge. The models were sold before the awards show started.
"It was a great experience and a lot of fun," Streeter said.
The Grammy Awards, originally called the Gramophone Awards, are presented annually by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States. The Recording Academy was founded in 1958 and this year presented awards in 140 music categories.
Top winners of the evening included Amy Winehouse, Justin Timberlake and Bruce Springsteen.

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) Duke is adding guard Andre Dawkins to its incoming recruiting class for this fall.
The school said Friday that Dawkins had signed an offer of admission after passing a final course requirement to earn his high school diploma this summer.
Dawkins had attended four years of high school, though he went to one year of public high school before transferring to Atlantic Shores Christian School and was classified as a freshman again. After learning he lacked only one English class required for NCAA eligibility, Dawkins decided to pursue early admission to Duke.
The 6-foot-4 guard was ranked as one of the top shooting guards in the country. His addition bolsters a team that is thin on the perimeter after the losses of Greg Paulus (FSY) and Elliot Williams.

Physical properties of commercial carbamazepine (CBZ) samples can significantly influence drug release and thereby jeopardize bioequivalence of the final dosage form. The aim of this study was to reduce variability in commercial CBZ samples by recrystallization. CBZ samples of four different suppliers were recrystallized in ethanol solution containing 1% polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). CBZ samples were analyzed by disk intrinsic dissolution rate (DIDR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Recrystallized CBZ samples showed strongly reduced variability in DIDR compared to the untreated CBZ samples. Moreover, transformation process to CBZ dihydrate was inhibited; no dihydrate crystals were visible on compact surfaces after 8 h intrinsic dissolution measurement. Recrystallized CBZ samples showed no change in polymorphic form, however, particle size and shape was inhomogenous. In binary mixtures with microcrystalline cellulose, recrystallized CBZ samples again showed difference in drug release. This difference was associated with the inhomogenous particle size in the recrystallized CBZ samples. The results show that a controlled grinding step is required after recrystallization. We suggest the recrystallization in presence of 1% PVP followed by a controlled grinding step as a strategy to reduce dissolution variability in commercial CBZ samples.
Pharmaceutical companies are facing a fast growing market of drug suppliers where raw materials can be obtained from suppliers in India and China at lower price. Physicochemical properties of raw materials can vary among drug suppliers with consequence on the drug performance in the final drug formulation.
CBZ is one example where sample variability among different suppliers effects the dissolution behavior of the tablet formulation. Šehić
Physicochemical properties of raw materials depend on the method of production. The crystallization step of a drug can be performed with different solvents and additives. They result in different crystal habits and possible solvent inclusion, both leading to different solubility and dissolution behavior [
Polymers such as PVP, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and hydroxypropylcellulose, when added at only small amounts (1–4% w/v) to the dissolution medium, are reported to inhibit the transformation of anhydrous CBZ to the less soluble CBZ dihydrate [
In this study, CBZ samples of four different suppliers were recrystallized in ethanol containing 1% PVP to reduce dissolution variability. The effect of recrystallization on sample variability was investigated by XRPD, DSC, and intrinsic dissolution profiles using the unidirectional dissolution method developed earlier [
Carbamazepine samples of four different suppliers (CBZ A, B, C and D) were recrystallized according to Nokhodchi
Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC SANAQ® 102L; Pharmatrans SANAQ AG, Switzerland) was used as a water-insoluble tablet-filler for the binary mixtures. All other chemicals and reagents purchased from commercial sources were of analytical grade.
Polymorphic form of CBZ samples was characterized by X-ray powder diffractometry (XRPD) using a diffractometer (D5000, Siemens, Germany). The powder was filled into special holders and the surface was pressed flat. Operating conditions were Ni filtered Cu-Kα radiation (
Thermal behavior of all samples was analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), using heat flux DSC (4000, PerkinElmer, USA). DSC was calibrated with indium prior to the measurement. A sample of 3–6 mg was accurately weighted into an aluminum pan with holes and scanned between 40 °C and 220 °C at 10 °C/min under dry nitrogen gas purge (20 mL/min).
True density of all samples was assessed by a gas displacement pycnometer (AccuPyc 1330, Micromeritics, USA). Powder was purged with helium by five repetitive purging cycles and the density was reported as average value. The test was performed in triplicate.
For morphological characterization scanning electron microscopy (SEM) (ESEM XL 30 FEG, Philips, The Netherlands) was applied at a voltage of 10 kV and magnifications of 100–2000 times. Before analysis, powder was sprinkled on carbon adhesive and then sputtered with platinum.
Water activity of all samples was monitored with a digital water activity analyzer (Hygropalm, Rotronic AG, Switzerland) at 23.5 ± 1.5 °C.
Recrystallized CBZ samples were mixed with MCC for 10 min in a mixer (Turbula® type T2C, W. Bachofen, Switzerland) and for a further 2 min after adding 1% magnesium stearate (Sandoz, Switzerland) to the mixture. Drug load was 70% and mixtures of 10 g were prepared.
Flat-faced compacts of 400 mg were produced from recrystallized CBZ and of binary mixtures using Zwick 1478 material tester (Zwick, Germany). Surface area was 0.95 cm2 and porosity was 12% for untreated CBZ samples and binary mixtures and 7% for the recrystallized CBZ samples. Compaction speed was at 10 mm/min for pure drug and at 50 mm/min for the binary mixtures.
To obtain disc intrinsic dissolution rate (DIDR) profiles of the CBZ samples, unidirectional dissolution was performed by a modified USP Apparatus I. The prepared compact of fixed porosity was placed in a sample holder fitting to the rotating unit of the dissolution apparatus (SotaxAT
Intrinsic dissolution rate (IDR) was determined by the slope in the DIDR profile prior to the first inflection point, the slope referring to the release of anhydrous CBZ before transforming to the dihydrate. DIDR profiles were analyzed by inflection points as described in earlier work [
Compact surfaces were analyzed by SEM (see

Initial drug release of recrystallized CBZ in binary mixtures with MCC.
Recrystallized CBZ samples presented a strongly reduced dissolution variability and the transformation to CBZ dihydrate was inhibited. Compacts of recrystallized CBZ samples also presented less variability in tensile strength compared to the untreated samples. The recrystallization did not induce any change in polymorphic form. Particle morphology of recrystallized CBZ samples was of irregular size and shape and may thus have resulted in inhomogeneous mixtures with MCC and to the deviation of one sample in the dissolution test. Therefore, more detailed studies are necessary to control the critical grinding step. The recrystallization in presence of 1% PVP can be suggested as a valid approach to control the dissolution variability in commercial CBZ samples.

Eisenhower, Kennedy, and the Bay of Pig's Feet
Since America began closing mental institutions in 1955, the streets have been deluged with mentally unbalanced individuals unable to care for themselves. (Blame JFK for that guy you see on your way to work every morning, who sits at the curb mumbling about spacemen and radioactive jelly beans.)
As I am sure many of you have already noticed, Miami is a mecca for homeless people who are mentally ill. I am sure there are many, many reasons, such as the gorgeous weather. But in any case, they are here to stay -- and steal pickled food.
Homeless people suffering from mental illness need help -- they should not be wandering the streets pilfering pig's feet. Take a news brief I recently read on The Miami Herald's website, for example. I cannot fathom that the individual in the following story is 'right in the head' as they say.
Police were called to a Chevron gas station in North Miami, around 200 Street and NW 27 Avenue, at about 10 p.m. on March 28 to handle a "situation."
A man, who had been banned from the store by police due to previous incidents, was caught by store employees with his hand in the cookie jar. Well, the pickled egg jar. Or pickled sausage. The story didn't specify.
After immersing his hands into several jars of pickled food, he declared the items unsellable, then proceeded to eat some of the items.
The police estimated the damages at $48, which begs the question--does Chevron carry pickled truffles?
I don't know what items he ate, or which jars he dipped his paws into, but I do know this--if it weren't for JFK, this man would be in a hospital where he belongs.

Top teeth-staining offendersBright, white smiles can take years off of your appearance and help boost your confidence. Also, they can help you look your best when posing for wedding-day photographs. While many couples opt for whitening treatments to ensure pearly whites on their big day, steering clear of foods that are notorious for staining teeth is also a good idea. The outer layer of the tooth is very porous, and dark-colored foods and beverages may stain teeth more easily. The following items are known to discolor teeth:
* Black coffee
* Tea
* Red wine
* Cola
* Dark fruit juices
* Popsicles with artificial coloring
* Soy sauce
* Balsamic vinegar
* Tomato sauce
* Blueberries
* Beets
* Curry
Minimize the consumption of these foods and use a straw to drink acidic or staining beverages to keep teeth as white as they can be.

AngelsBryan Nicholls, via The Good Book Stall
In this attractive book, intriguingly illustrated by Linda Baker Smith, Williams invites us by her enthusiasm to have an expectation and awareness of angels. She endeavours to show that they tell us of our place in God's unseen world, and our relationship with each other and God, and impinge on our own longings - all to move us on in our faith journey. With a biblical basis the opening of our imagination is tempered by caution; words, music and pictures cannot fully describe heavenly beings, neither in Isaiah's day nor ours. Lifelong guardian angels are given neither to biblical characters nor us, as much as we look for their comfort. Stories by Richard Hooker (17c), John Milton, Philip Pulman and Teresa of Avila concerning angels are briefly but helpfully covered.

As a consumer I am disgusted that you would even consider allowing cloned animals to be used as a food source. It is an abomination to nature. This should STRONGLY be reconsidered. If cloned animals ARE to be used as a source of food a LABEL should be REQUIRED on all food products containing any cloned animal product. It is the right of the consumer to know what we are buying! Thank you.
