This is a dense monograph on one of the fascinating minor characters in the pageant of early jazz. Henry Crowder is best remembered as the lover-partner of Nancy Cunard, an heiress and flamboyant patron of the modern arts in Paris and the U.S. during the 1920s. Barnett presents what facts can be gathered on Crowder's biography and supplies a CD with his music.
Crowder was born in rural Georgia in 1890, made his way to Atlanta, thence to Washington, D.C. Along the way he became a skilled professional singer and pianist, working in restaurants and high-class brothels then becoming a leader of a small band at Harvey's, a famous Washington seafood restaurant. He also founded a black musicians' organization, the Crescendo Club, on the model of James Reese Europe's New York Clef Club. He cut piano rolls for Capitol/Supertone and by the mid-1920s assembled his Alabamians, a big band that was fronted in the late 1920s by Jelly Roll Morton as his Red Hot Peppers around Chicago and as far afield as Canada.
In 1927, Crowder joined with Eddie South, and his quartet was involved in backing such popular performers as Bee Palmer, Gene Austin and Marion Harris. They then tried a junket to France in 1928, in which their plans unraveled, and then Crowder met Nancy Cunard in Venice, which reshaped the next few years of his career. In 1929, the band was involved in the notorious shoot-out between banjoist Mike McKendrick (of South's band) and the ever-volatile Sidney Bechet. On the streets of Paris near Bricktop's place, they had a Wild West confrontation that left three bystanders wounded and Bechet and McKendrick in jail for 11 months. Pianist Glover Compton was never quite right after it, either.
Nancy Cunard was busy patronizing and publishing soon-to-be-big writers and artists with her Hours Press. When she hooked up with Crowder, she planned a volume of songs for him, commissioning texts from Richard Aldington, Harold Acton, Nancy Cunard herself, Walter Loewenfels and the young Samuel Beckett. The folio was called Henry-Music and would be the young black man's ticket into the world of international modern art, literature and music. The admission price Crowder paid was the abandonment of his wife and children in the U.S.
Owing to Nancy Cunard's ministrations, he met luminaries and rising stars such as T.S. Eliot (Cunard was edited out of The Waste Land when she and Eliot quarreled), Ezra Pound, George Anthiel. William Carlos Williams, Louis Zukofsky and many other quintessential 1920s modernists.
His relationship with Nancy Cunard lasted only until 1935, then Crowder moved in the French musical scene, playing with bands and revues. He worked in Brussels in 1938, and after World War II erupted, he was scooped up by the Nazis and interred, first in Belgium, then in Bavaria. He was released in 1944 in a prisoner exchange and returned to Washington. There he visited Ezra Pound in St. Elizabeth's hospital and was largely inactive in music. He died in 1954 after a simple surgical operation.
By the aural evidence of the recordings included here, Crowder was a skillful and lyrical pianist with a somewhat raggy style. His role was mainly as an accompanist, but in the brief solos and interjections from the piano with Eddie South, he seems solid and attentive, supplying obbligati and slightly rococo decorations behind the soloists. On the one track from his Henry-Music included, "Memory Blues," aka "Boeuf sur le toit," he plays and sings pensively and with considerable feeling. He recorded "St. Louis Blues" at the same session and is a passable but not distinguished blues singer-pianist.
Henry-Music turned out to be pleasant, slightly jagged work in the vein of most modern art songs. Vocal lines are clear and singable, and the piano accompaniment is solidly pianistic without being obtrusive. Some, like "Boeuf sur le toit," are slightly jazzy and might have come out of a musical or a revue. Some reflect the influence of George Gershwin, a favorite of Crowder's.
Crowder is an interesting case of a working African-American musician of the 1920s and '30s. Beginning as largely self-taught, he mastered vernacular music of the era, acquired good piano technique, reading skills and even complex compositional processes. In his journey, he ran into such masters as Morton and South and became drawn into the esoteric world of ultra-modern art and fashion. Whoever thought America was no longer the land of opportunity?
The book and CD include a modern recording of Henry-Music, texts to these songs, many photographs, notes and writings by Henry Crowder and others to detail his career. It includes in clear order and with copious commentary, about everything likely to be known of this minor but exemplary figure who lived on the edge of both jazz and modern "classical" music. A very intriguing project, well conceived and finished.

This tape-recorded memoir is an intriguing journey into the career of a major figure in the jazz revival in New Orleans from the 1960s through the 1980s. Arriving in New Orleans in 1961, as the era of the "kitty halls" opened, the young British drummer-wannabe Barry Martyn dedicated himself to learning the music and meeting as many veteran musicians as he could find. He became an entrepreneur-bandleader, agent, tour director and record producer and left a considerable legacy of musicians and music rescued from oblivion.
In the course of his adventures with jazz musicians, Martyn was aided by William Russell, Dick Allen, Allen and Sandra Jaffe and many other major figures on the scene. He took drum lessons from Cie Frazier and led bands with some of the best and most famous musicians still on the scene. He was always focused on veteran African-American players, and eventually formed a touring group, the Legends of Jazz, that was an on-the-road version of Preservation Hall, Dixieland Hall, Heritage Hall and other venues in New Orleans.
Musicians in his first bands included such stalwarts as Louis Nelson, Joe Darensbourg, Ed "Montudi" Garland, Alton Purnell, Barney Bigard and many more. Martyn was at the drums and served as tourmaster, watchdog and passepartout for his often unpredictable charges. The book is packed with anecdotes, often very funny, of these jazz elders and their eccentricities. Martyn was an acute observer and gifted with a clear and detailed memory of his work and coworkers. As a naive but intensely curious explorer of the jazz scene, young Martyn soaked up all the sounds, sights and elements of New Orleans at a time when its culture was intact and fabulous.
While he recites interesting tales of musicians, which is what most RAG readers will appreciate about the story, he is also capable of taking the mickey out of his young self, as when he recalls discovering an American institution shortly after reaching the U.S.:
The next morning I walked over to Canal Street in search of breakfast, and found White Castle burgers -- little tiny things, four for a dollar -- they were really good. The lady asked me, "You wanna root beer?" I said, "No, I never drink this early in the morning." She laughed; she thought I was making a joke.
He also captures the character of people he recalls, like a small portrait of the saintly Bill Russell, shortly after Martyn met him:
It was a really windy night, and as we passed a barroom, the door opened and a man staggered out backwards and fell down on the sidewalk. The light from the bar shone on the man's face, and Bill said, "Good evening, Mr. Morgan. Can I help you up?" He got him on his feet, helped him across the street. And rang a bell. A woman answered the door, thanked us, and took the drunk in. He was Isaiah Morgan, the trumpet player. But what struck me was the politeness of it all. That was Bill.
Many little firsthand portraits like this help illuminate the era in ways no academic chronicle or conventional history could.
The book has elegant introductions to chapters from the late Mick Burns and useful appended material on recordings and musicians and notes clarifying the most important players mentioned. It needs more annotation about other people, places and things; someone as important to the period as Larry Bornstein is mentioned but not identified, and many local references are likely obscure to anyone except wholly dedicated obsessive-compulsives.
The text also could have used thoughtful light editing. It is repetitious, as most interviews are, with some notions reiterated verbatim, as in Martyn's complaints about British trad bands' habits of appearing onstage in silly costumes. Some characters are mentioned but left confusing, like an African-American tap dancer named Lon Chaney (aka "Isaiah Chaneyfield"). I kept envisioning the Wolfman.
Finally, editing would lose some hit-or-miss syntax and locutions of spontaneous recollection; most unedited interviews seem like very low-grade writing and are wearing to read. And given the huge cast of characters mentioned, the volume cries out for an index.
Barry Martyn dreamed from childhood on of voyaging to New Orleans in search of the wonderful music he discovered on old 78 rpm records, and his dreams came true, after considerable self-sacrifice and deprivation. Still active in the recording world of George Buck in particular, Martyn is modest about his own accomplishments, but simply narrating his story reveals how large a role he has played in the preservation of the last music from the mecca of jazz. It is a memoir both entertaining and enlightening for vivid details lodged in Martyn's memory. This book shows why oral history should be encouraged and used in mapping the byways of popular culture and its profound impact on the modern world.

A distribution list is a collection of contacts (contact: Person, inside or outside of your organization, about whom you can save several types of information, such as street and e-mail addresses, telephone and fax numbers, and Web page URLs.). It provides an easy way to send messages to a group of people. For example, if you frequently send messages to the marketing team, you can create a distribution list called Marketing Team that contains the names of all members of the marketing team. A message sent to this distribution list goes to all recipients listed in the distribution list. Recipients see their own names and the names of all other recipients on the To line of the message instead of seeing the name of the distribution list. You can use distribution lists in messages, task requests, meeting requests, and other distribution lists.
You can easily add and delete names in a distribution list, send it to others, and print it.
Distribution lists are identified with and are stored by default in your Contacts folder, so you can sort and assign categories (category: A keyword or phrase that helps you keep track of items so you can easily find, sort, filter, or group them.) to them. If you use Microsoft Exchange Server, your Global Address List (Global Address List: The address book that contains all user, group, and distribution list e-mail addresses in your organization. The administrator creates and maintains this address book. It may also contain public folder e-mail addresses.) can contain global distribution lists, which are available to everyone who uses that network. The personal distribution lists (personal distribution list: A collection of e-mail addresses that you create and add to your Outlook Address Book as one e-mail alias. When you send a message to a distribution list, it goes to each e-mail address in the list.) that you create in your Contacts folder are available only to you, but you can share them by copying and sending them to others.
You can send a message or meeting request to part of a distribution list by clicking the plus sign (+) next to the name of the distribution list to show the individuals on the list, and then deleting the names that you do not want. Distribution lists in the E-mail field of a contact cannot be expanded.

The Train Station as Home, Community, Bathroom and Livelihood
We awoke early this morning (3:30 am!) to head across the Ganges, pile into taxis and take the pre-dawn drive back to the train station in Haridwar. I'd say, again, that driving at night is much more scary than driving during the day. The oncoming headlights blind you to the pedestrians, herds of cows, bicyclists, and porters. It all seems like an accident waiting to happen.
One thing that amazes me personally…I've been in three car accidents in the States. Each time I was a passenger. Friends can tell you that I have resulting reflexes…I grab the door or brace the dashboard in moments where I sense "danger." It feels entirely wired into my system from the previous accidents. Here, I have none of those urges, even though I am sitting up front next to the driver and there are clearly far, far fewer driving "rules!"
Upon arriving at the train station, we hustle out of our taxis and into the large, brightly lit foyer where we have to walk around and through hundreds of people sleeping. Entire families are curled up under blankets together. A small girl sits up, sleepy headed, as we scoot by. I try not to disturb anyone by running into them or catching a corner of their blanket, but it really is a maze and quite difficult to miss people altogether.
We climb a big ramp, cross an overhead bridge, go down another ramp, and then find our waiting place on the platform. The now familiar smell takes over. We are just in time to catch site of three women squatting down on the edge of the platform to relieve their bladders. The men may make it onto the train tracks below, but the women leave small puddles on the edgeway.
Having an hour to wait for our train, which wasn't on time (of course!), gave us plenty of opportunity for more "viewing." The train tracks are also used for evacuating the bowel, spitting, throwing cigarette butts, compost and other garbage, and as a walkway between platforms. Yes, groups of barefoot families climb down onto the filthy tracks and cross over and up to the next platform. We were civilized in using the designed ramp ways and bridges!
The platform, similar to the foyer, is home to beggars who each seem to have their special sleeping area. Again whole families are huddled together under thin blankets. When people awaken, they cough, hack, and, the old men, light up cigarettes. They may wash their faces in the communal sink and then adjust their belongings (so few!) in preparation for the day's begging. Some of the men seemed so old and infirm, I imagined them dying in their sleep without any one noticing for days.
We walked by one man who was sitting lotus style, hands in mudras on his knees, doing neck exercises to awaken for the day. He was also wearing a clean, cheese-cloth shirt and head turban (He was not one of the train depot family members.)
I wrapped my own scarves around my shoulders, head, nose and mouth, to keep warm and to avoid breathing the stink and dust. Chai wallahs came by offering hot chai, chai, chai; but I refused the possibly warming beverage for the dangers it might have presented.
My mind drifted back to the backwater communities in Allepey. By comparison, they were certainly far, far better off than this community.
I'm compelled, again, to reflect on what it means to have a place in the world and how we feed our own sense of impoverishment unnecessarily by the mental habits of comparison, desire, judgment, aversion, and story-making. Great teachers continually tell us that simply "wanting things to be different" is a sure path to suffering.
Without falling into passivity or numbness, how do we reconcile radically accepting what is, in terms of our life situation (financial, emotional, in our families, our health, our economy and our jobs) or the life situation of others, with the reality of our vision or the inner call to action? I'm not asking how do we reconcile radical acceptance with our personal desires. I'm distinguishing desire that is personal from the inner pull that is magnetic. By magnetic I mean, there is a pull toward something larger than us that feels quite impersonal, though the enthusiasm for the action/vision has "chosen us." Enthusiasm, by the way, means to be filled with God.
Eckart describes this, as does Catherine, as allowing the music of life to be played through you. I often say it's a kind of Yes that you couldn't say No to. The "Yesness" is obvious, unarguable, and natural.
My sense is that the reconciliation, if there is one, occurs in the silence, the stillness, the moments of deep presence in which the habitual flurries of the mind evaporate. What remains is lucid, patient and enormously loving.
The Poverty and Social Justice
As I've been in India now for three weeks, I'm reflecting on my reactions and responses to the poverty, filth, illness, and homelessness. I'm surprised to find myself not feeling overwhelmed, not having the urge to rescue anyone, not having the instinct to give money to the outstretched hands. I was enough forewarned by many people (including my friend Catherine Ingram, with whom I share similar enough tendencies and reflections about life and social justice), that I thought my heart would be more pulled upon. I thought I would experience greater heart-ache.
On my trip over the ocean on February 16th, I started these reflections looking through the lens of the Enneagram*. The One is the highly principled ruler, charismatic leader, and champion of social justice, truth, and fairness. I'd guess that Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr,, and probably, even Obama, are all Ones. The Four is more oriented by her emotions as the "deep-sea-diver of the psyche," but for evolution she moves to the One, in her own ways. (*Of course, ultimately all of these paradigms and systems dissolve in the ocean of our unity and consciousness. They're, ultimately, only amusing and intriguing pointers!)
Given what I understand about myself as a Four, in this regard, and given my life experience and my compulsions to serve, to restore and to social justice, I'm surprised to find that not only does my heart not ache the way I thought it would, I'm not besieged with inner ideologies and plans for action on how all of this might change. Perhaps it's just too big for me to comprehend. I wouldn't begin to agree with the situation as it is, for indeed it is devastating. But I can't fathom how this would ever change.
I'm sure at times in my own life I appeared lost and impoverished to others (not just the religious types who have knocked on my door to attempt to convert me). I'm sure there are ways that I have unconsciously contributed to the global problem of social injustice through my purchasing habits, fossil fuel usage, avoidance of certain streams of news, and even my moments of ingratitude or lack of appreciation for my own life situation.
Perhaps the first area of personal accountability in this unfathomable devastation and injustice is to bring even greater integrity yet to my choices, thoughts and actions in purchasing, consuming, scheduling, driving, listening, responding to and appreciating life. While that seems small, considering the things I'm exposed to here, I also know it's do-able; and that change begins with small, personal steps.
Additionally, I do trust that India will keep making her impression on me, even after my arrival home. I also trust that if there is a larger call to action, I will know it instinctively. And finally, as I've evolved in my own ways, I can see that simply contributing to and supporting the change other people are leading would be deeply satisfying. (This softens the visionary part of my nature (the One) that started Living Yoga, such that I wouldn't have to start another organization for this aspect of our global injustice!)

WENATCHEE, Wash. -- Firefighting crews worked Friday to complete the fire line along the western perimeter of the Colockum Tarps Fire, which has burned across 125 square miles south of Wenatchee. They did not complete it. Fire continues to burn in the steep, timbered draws along the western flank of the fire, requiring the burning out of fuels inside of the remaining three miles of fire line construction.
Fire managers said crews would continue working Saturday and for 3-4 more days to complete the fire line. The assignment requires reduction of heavy fuels inside the line within steep, forested draws along the top of ragged fire perimeter that encompasses the deep, timbered draws.
About 750 firefighters were assigned to the fire Saturday, which is 50 percent contained.
Firefighters in north-central Washington also are working to contain several small fires sparked by lightning on Thursday.
Jim Duck, operations coordinator for the region's Interagency Dispatch Center, said there were reports of new wildfires in Okanogan, Douglas and Kittitas counties.
Related: Statewide wildfire information
Eastern Washington has been under a red-flag warning for extreme threat of wildfires, with dry fuels and thunderstorms forecast with lightning and erratic winds.
Duck says some areas -- but not all -- reported rain from the storms, which will aid the firefighting efforts.
Fire officials say numerous structures and utility infrastructures remain threatened. Communities in Kittitas County are especially anxious after dealing with the Taylor Bridge Fire last year.
The Mile Marker 28 Fire near Goldendale, which has burned over 27,000 acres, is now 82 percent contained.
The Department of Natural Resources has issued a statewide burn ban on all lands under DNR protection, effective through September 30. The ban applies to all forestlands in Washington state, except federal lands, and prohibits campfires in all state, local and private campgrounds.

Envenom is awesome with Muti build, when you have the 20% increase. It eats all those high armor/hp enemies, and has worked fairly well for me in pve, usually on top of 5-10 man groups. You do however need to know how to play, and with that in mind, most people play diff. chars. It takes a while to really understand and learn your class well. If you know the rogue class well, you probably love envenom.

The Detroit Action Network For Reproductive Rights is planning to picket a local crisis-pregnancy center to raise awareness about the misinformation spread by these places. In case you're in the area, here are the details:
Saturday, September 9 at 10:30 a.m.
at "Pregnancy Aid," 17325 Mack Avenue
(on Detroit's Eastside, directly across from Staples)
Email firstname.lastname@example.com OR
Call (313) 378-2369 for more information
It's awesome that some local activists are taking on this issue. I'm not usually excited about clinic protests, but this one sounds pretty good to me…. Probably because places like "Pregnancy Aid" aren't really clinics. That term applies to places that provide actual health care, not just propaganda.

Auditors of the GECA program
JAS-ANZ (Joint Accreditation System ANZ) is the government-appointed accreditation body for Australia and New Zealand. It is responsible for providing accreditation of conformance assessment bodies (CABs) in the fields of certification and inspection.
CABs are independent auditing firms who are qualified to assess and verify the conformance of products and services against GECA's environmental standards. As independent CABs, they have no commercial interest in the manufacture or commercial performance of the products or services under assessment.
Accreditation by JAS-ANZ demonstrates the particular competence and independence of a CAB.
The GECA Scheme is the only ecolabel in Australia that requires all auditors performing conformance assessments to be accredited by JAS-ANZ to do so.
Two CABs — both JAS-ANZ accredited — currently audit the GECA scheme:
BSI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the National Association of Testing Authorities Australia (NATA). BSI is one of Australia's foremost independent verification and auditing bodies.

Hello Gabblers!
Hope everyone enjoyed their holidays and are enjoying the new year so far!
Examiner.com has posted a review of GA 9.10, Check it out!
The things we say in the doctor's office are vital…
They are all useful and sometimes, if not utilized, can result in a twisted incident of fate where things can go from good to completely terrible in a matter of hours. The emotional return of Grey's Anatomy Season 9 premieres strong, with the drama, romance and humor that makes the series all the more special in the new year! Bailey ran and now it's time to face her hesitations head on. You know your watching a Shonda Rhimes classic when the happily ever afters are dramatically paired with life-altering consequences, one of them being a tragic death. This hour picked up right where the previous installment left off, with Adele Webber's life held in the balance and a much-anticipated wedding put on hold. The consequences of the dramatic change is full of laughs, love, tears, other influxes of emotion and even one of the most fun patient cases we've gotten in some time.

5 Big Stocks to Trade for Gains
JPMorgan Chase
It's been a solid year for shareholders in JPMorgan Chase (JPM). The $158 billion big bank has seen its shares rally more than 25% so far in 2012, despite a series of conspicuous missteps that made JPM a media punching bag earlier in the year. Now, the firm looks well-positioned to keep up its momentum.
The most important thing about the climb in JPM is that it's been orderly. Since the June correction in the S&P, JPM has managed to climb higher within an uptrending channel, a price area that's helped traders to identify the high probability moves in shares. The fact that JPM has successfully tested support four times without failing is a good sign -- it indicates that shares can still catch a bid underneath that trend line.
>>5 Big Trades From the Financial SectorMore significant, JPMorgan held up its own trend line support level when the S&P fell through its corresponding trend line. That relative strength is a very good sign for folks looking to buy now. The ideal time to buy a stock in an uptrending channel is when it's as close to support as possible. For JPMorgan Chase, that time looks like now. Shares just staged a bounce off of support, and are starting to climb higher within the channel. If you decide to be a buyer here, I'd recommend keeping a protective stop in at the 50-day moving average. I also featured JPMorgan recently in " 5 Stocks Hedge Funds Hate -- But Should You?."

'Justified' executive producer teases new twists
Graham Yost tells viewers to expect more mystery, new characters in Season 4
Fans of "Justified" can expect more action and mystery when the crime drama returns for a fourth season Jan. 8.
That's because Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant) will be tackling his personal demons -- the fact that his dad meant to kill him, for starters -- and tracking down a criminal, from a 30-year-old cold case, who was thought to be dead but probably isn't.
Bing: More on 'Justified' | Timothy Olyphant | Graham Yost
"We're doing a couple different things this season. One is that we open with a flashback to what happened 30 years ago, loosely based on something that did happen around that time, called the Bluegrass Conspiracy," said Graham Yost, the executive producer behind "Justified," in TV Guide magazine. "What we decided to do this season was have more of a mystery and, in a sense, a big fugitive pursuit. They don't know who he is, so there's that mystery to solve, and then it'll go on from there."
Plus: The Golden Globes game | Most memorable 'Bachelor' and 'Bachelorette' moments
Because the show is going in a new direction, Yost also said fans probably won't see their favorite secondary players, Dewey Crowe (Damon Herriman) and Dickie Bennett (Jeremy Davies).
"There are opportunities, because Arlo's (Raymond J. Barry) in prison this year, that we could have seen Dewey, but it's like, we don't want to just see Dewey, we want to have an episode about Dewey. And similarly with Dickie Bennett, who is probably not going to appear this year."
But fear not. Wynn Duffy (Jere Burns) will be back and Patton Oswalt, a long-time "Justified" fan, is joining the show as an overzealous new character named Constable Bob.
"Two of our writers went down to Harlan and went to a snake-handling church and looked into a couple other things we were interested in, and got a lot of really cool information," Yost said. "Some of the stuff they came up with pops up in our first episode. They'd heard about this position in Kentucky -- in every county there's a constable -- so we came up with this character."
"Justified" Season 4 premieres Tuesday, Jan. 8, at 10 p.m. ET/PT on FX.

An Alabama state representative wants people who may have been arrested, but not convicted in some cases, to get a clean slate.
Chris England (D-Tuscaloosa) pre-filed a bill that would allow citizens to petition the courts to have their records expunged under certain circumstances.
"Under current law, a person who has been arrested and charged with a misdemeanor or felony crime but the case has either been thrown out by a grand jury, dismissed by a judge, or a jury found the person not guilty has no recourse to have their records expunged," England said in a release. "No one should be forced to live with criminal records on file if they haven't been convicted of a crime."
In the case of some misdemeanor convictions, person's record could be cleared in three to five years if they meet all probation and parole requirments and have no past convictions for violent felonies.
England says he doesn't want one mistake to haunt someone for the rest of their life.
"Those records still exist and when those people apply for jobs they're treated like they were convicted and they get denied those opportunities," England said.
England pushed a similar bill in 2009 and says former Gov. Bob Riley vetoed it.

THURSDAY, Dec. 23 (HealthDay News) -- Eating a vegetarian diet
lowers kidney disease patients' levels of potentially toxic
phosphorus in the blood and urine, says a small new study.
Kidney disease patients have to limit their intake of
phosphorous -- which is found in dietary proteins and is a common
food additive -- because their bodies have difficulty ridding
themselves of the mineral. In these patients, high levels of
phosphorus can lead to heart disease and death.
This study examined the effects of vegetarian and meat-based
diets on phosphorous levels in nine patients with chronic kidney
disease (CKD). Each patient ate a vegetarian or meat-based diet for
one week and then waited two to four weeks before eating the other
diet for a week.
The researchers conducted blood and urine tests at the end of
each week on both diets. Even though the two diets had equivalent
protein and phosphorus concentrations, patients had lower blood and
urine phosphorus levels after they ate the vegetarian diet.
The investigators didn't examine the reasons for this
difference, but they noted that a grain-based diet has a lower
phosphate-to-protein ratio and much of the phosphate is in the form
of phytate, which is not absorbed in humans.
The findings show that the source of protein in a diet has a
major effect on phosphorous levels in chronic kidney disease
patients, concluded Dr. Sharon Moe, Indiana University School of
Medicine and Roudebush Veterans' Affairs Medical Center, and
"These results, if confirmed in longer studies, provide rationale for recommending a predominance of grain-based vegetarian sources of protein to patients with CKD. This diet would allow increased protein intake without adversely affecting phosphorus levels," they wrote in a news release.
The study appears online Dec. 23 in the
Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.

Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF)
Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) is a viral haemorrhagic fever of the Nairovirus group. Although primarily a zoonosis, sporadic cases and outbreaks of CCHF affecting humans do occur. The disease is endemic in many countries in Africa, Europe and Asia.
The geographical distribution of the virus, like that of its tick vector, is widespread. Evidence of CCHF virus has been found in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Healthcare workers in endemic areas should be aware of the illness and the correct infection control procedures to protect themselves and their patients from the risk of nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infection.
For more information please check the websites of WHO Regional Office for Europe and ECDC – European Center for Disease Prevention and Control.

From an editorial Monday in the New York Times:
The momentum in Washington for immigration reform has been growing with amazing speed in recent weeks, and it seems that the question now is not whether Congress will try to fix the immigration system this year, but how big and effective the repairs will be. We hope that whatever bill emerges will continue to protect and unite families, preserving and strengthening a bedrock value of Americas immigration system.
It might be hard to imagine that Americas long tradition of allowing immigrants to sponsor spouses, children and siblings for visas would be threatened. But anti-immigration groups and lawmakers have long attacked the practice, using the misleading term chain migration.
These tensions emerged at a recent hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, who led the hearing, spoke movingly of her own experience immigrating to Honolulu as a young girl, and yet joined other witnesses in explaining how the system falls short: She noted that it treats women unequally many who arrive as dependent spouses are denied the right to work legally, and face discrimination and obstacles to assimilation.
But even as Moua explained how important family visas are, Sen. Jeff Sessions balked at the very concept. Using an example of two hypothetical Hondurans, he suggested that the visas were bad because some relatives can be underachievers. He ignored the powerful truth that family immigration is an economic bulwark. Families incubate job-creating businesses, provide a safety net for their members and hasten assimilation. Employment visas are important for companies to recruit needed workers. But these workers have spouses and children and siblings.
And we need workers at all levels of the economy: As Rep. Luis Gutierrez of Illinois put it, Silicon Valley engineers and entrepreneurs would not be very productive or competitive engines of our economy if they did not have food to eat, or people to care for their children or parents.
Immigration is more than a business relationship America has with selected foreigners. Recruited workers enrich the country. Reunited families do, too.

Parents & Babies Love Using Walking Wings
"I'm in love with Walking Wings. My daughter is 15 months, she still is not walking on her own. All her friends who are 9, 10 months old are running like its nothing. Well the hubby and I bought Walking Wings and she loves it. We have been walking all day with it. Since I'm not holding her fingers she realized she needed to be a big girl and do it on her own. She took two big steps! I'm so proud of my daughter. Thank you Walking Wings for making a product to give hope to parents out there." – Veronica S.
"Walking Wings has been a lifesaver and a back saver. I had back surgery several years ago and was not able to bend over and hold my sons hands while he was learning to walk. I was out of luck until "Walking Wings" My son loved it so much he still wants to use it. It was a great confidence builder." - Gerry D
"I can't even tell you how much I love this product!! My son was born two months premature and he sees a physical therapist once a week because his gross motor skills are the only thing that he needs some extra help with. I tried Walking Wings on my son the second we got home and let me tell you. It helped him with his walking THAT night!! We've practiced with the Walking Wings every night. This product is amazing and I would recommend it to everyone who has little ones with the same problem that I was having with my little one or just someone who wants to help their children build their confidence in walking. I promise you will love it as much as I do!" - Melinda F
"My daughter was born with a brachial plexus injury. With fear of her learning how to walk I didn't want to pull on her little arms in fear of doing more damage to the arm. With Walking Wings I don't have to pull on her arms. LOVE IT !" - The brachial plexus mom
"I never knew about Walking Wings until I saw it one day at Babies R Us. I got Walking Wings for my husband who has a serious back injury. He's 6'3" tall and it was impossible for him to walk with our son when he started to toddle. Since my husband is the stay-at-home parent he really needs to be there for all our son's needs! This product has really made all the difference for our son's comfort and safety and my husband's limitations. " - Jamie F
"I love Walking Wings! It seemed to take forever for my son to transition from crawling to walking. He would cry when I held his hands to assist him and with Walking Wings he felt as though he was walking on his own and it gave him more confidence. It's also great for restaurants and parks so that your toddler doesn't have to get his hands dirty and scrape his knees by crawling around on dirty or hard surfaces. I've given Walking Wings as a gift, too, and it was a big hit." - Christine K
"Walking Wings is great for airports and places where you have a lot of waiting around. Really a back saver!!!" - Mary H
"My 13 month old was struggling walking and the process was killing my back. I did not think there was anything on the market to help with this so when I found Walking Wings I was very surprised. I've had Walking Wings now for 3 months and I LOVE IT. I was impressed with the product quality and design. I am now purchasing a Walking Wings for my best friend's little boy's first birthday because he is pulling up and trying to walk." - Kellie D
"I saw Walking Wings on the Today Show and immediately bought it for my folks who are ready and willing to help with my very active son, but not happy about the physical part of running after a crawling baby. With Walking Wings they are able to spend more active time with him around and about without complaining about their backs, arms, and shoulders while he toddles. I like the fact that both of them are getting exercise while he learns to walk, and he isn't confined in the jumpy." -Paige R
"I recommend Walking Wings to everyone! My daughter just started learning to walk and Walking Wings has been such a lifesaver for us. She is able to move around the room without falling and hurting herself and it is so much easier on my back than bending over and trying to hold her little arms above her head. I also no longer worry about her trying out her new skills with my older parents. A definite must for a new mom." - Lea B

Composed of over 250 separate cascades, and straddling the border between Argentina and Brazil, the Iguazú Falls (or "Cataratas", as they are known locally) are quite simply the world's most dramatic waterfalls. Set among the exotic-looking subtropical forests of Parque Nacional Iguazú in Argentina, and Parque Nacional do Iguaçu in Brazil, the Falls tumble for a couple of kilometres over a complex set of cliffs from the Río Iguazú Superior to the Río Iguazú Inferior below. At their heart is the dizzying Garganta del Diablo, a powerhouse display of natural forces in which 1800 cubic metres of water per second hurtle over a 3km semicircle of rock into the boiling river canyon 70m below.
The first Europeans to encounter the Falls, in 1542, were members of a Spanish expedition led by Cabeza de Vaca, who named them the Saltos de Santa María. For nearly five hundred years, however, they remained practically forgotten in this remote corner of Argentina, and it wasn't until the early twentieth century that tourism began to arrive, encouraged by the then governor of Misiones, Juan J. Lanusse. The first hotel was constructed in 1922, right by the Falls, and by the mid-twentieth century Iguazú was firmly on the tourist map. Today, the Falls are one of Latin America's major tourist attractions, with around two million visitors each year.
The Argentine side
The vast majority of the Iguazú Falls lie on the Argentine side of the border, within the Parque Nacional Iguazú. This side offers the most extensive experience of the cataratas, thanks to its well-planned system of trails and catwalks taking you both below and above the waters – most notably to the Garganta del Diablo. The surrounding forest also offers excellent opportunities to view the region's wildlife. The main settlement on this side, Puerto Iguazú, lies approximately 18km northwest of the park entrance with a slightly sleepy, villagey feel, though its popularity with backpackers has livened it up a bit in recent years.
Garganta del Diablo
To visit the Garganta del Diablo ("Devil's Throat"), you must take the Tren de la selva ("Jungle Train"), which leaves regularly from Estación Cataratas, for the Estación Garganta del Diablo, 3km southeast (fare included in entrance fee). From here a catwalk with a small viewing platform takes you to within just a few metres of the staggering, sheer drop of water formed by the union of several immensely powerful waterfalls around a kind of horseshoe. As the water crashes over the edge, it plunges into a dazzling opaque whiteness in which it is impossible to distinguish mist from water. The vencejos often swirl around the waterfall in all directions, forming giant swarms that sometimes swoop up towards you and perform miraculous acrobatic twists and turns – quite a sight. If you're bringing your camera, make sure you've an airtight bag to stash it in, as the platform is invariably showered with a fine spray.
The Brazilian side
To complete your trip to Iguazú, you should also try and visit the Brazilian side. You'll only need a few hours but it's worth crossing in order to take photos of the Falls – particularly in the morning – as it provides you with a superb panorama of the points you will have visited close up in Argentina, as well as its own close encounter with the Garganta del Diablo. Though it offers a more passive experience, the view is more panoramic and the photo opportunities are amazing. You can cross for the day but, if you want to stay in Brazil, the city of Foz do Iguaçu lies a good 20km northwest of the access to the park. Much larger than Puerto Iguazú and with a modern, urban feel, Foz is neither the most beautiful nor most exotic of Brazilian cities, but if you've been travelling in Argentina for a while it'll give you the chance to hear another language, try some different food and sample some lively nightlife. Foz definitely feels less safe than its Argentine counterpart – a fact much exaggerated by Argentines, but nonetheless you should be on your guard in the city.
The forest around Iguazú
The forest around Iguazú
The Falls are not the only attraction in the parks. The surrounding subtropical forest – a dense, lush jungle – is packed with animals, birds and insects, and opportunities for spotting at least some of them are good. Even on the busy catwalks and paths that skirt the edges of the Falls you've a good chance of seeing gorgeously hued, bright blue butterflies as big as your hand (just one of over 250 varieties that live around the Falls) and – especially on the Brazilian side – you will undoubtedly be pestered for food by greedy coatis (a raccoon relative). For a real close-up encounter with the parks' varied wildlife, though, head for the superb Sendero Macuco, a tranquil nature trail that winds through the forest on the Argentine side. Commonly spotted species along here include various species of toucan and shy capuchin monkeys.
Flora and fauna around the Falls
Flora and fauna around the Falls
Despite appearances, the jungle landscape around the Falls is not virgin forest. In fact, it is in a process of recuperation: advances in the navigation of the Upper Paraná – the section of the river that runs along the northern border of Corrientes and Misiones – in the early twentieth century allowed access to these previously impenetrable lands and economic exploitation of their valuable timber began. In the 1920s, the region was totally exploited and stripped of its best species and traversed by roads. Only since the creation of the park in 1943 has the forest been protected.
Today, the forest is composed of several layers of vegetation. Towering above the forest floor is the rare and imposing palo rosa, which can grow to 40m and is identifiable by its pale, straight trunk that divides into twisting branches higher up, topped by bushy foliage. At a lower level, various species of palm flourish, notably the pindó palm and the palmito, much coveted for its edible core, which often grows in the shade of the palo rosa. Epiphytes, which use the taller trees for support but are not parasitic, also abound as does the guaypoy, aptly known as the strangler fig, since it eventually asphyxiates the trees around which it grows. You will also see lianas, which hang from the trees in incredibly regular plaits and have apt popular names such as escalera de mono, or "monkey's ladder". Closer still to the ground there is a stratum of shrubs, some of them with edible fruit, such as the pitanga. Ground cover is dominated by various fern species.
The best time to spot wildlife is either early morning or late afternoon, when there are fewer visitors and the jungle's numerous birds and mammals are at their most active: at times the screech of birds and monkeys can be almost cacophonic. At all times, you have the best chance of seeing wildlife by treading as silently as possible, and by scanning the surrounding trees for signs of movement. Your most likely reward will be groups of agile capuchin monkeys, with a distinctive black "cowl", like that of the monks they are named after. Larger, lumbering black howler monkeys make for a rarer sight, though their deep growl can be heard for some distance. Along the ground, look out for the tiny corzuela deer. Unfortunately, you've little chance of seeing the park's most dramatic wildlife, large cats such as the puma and the jaguar, or the tapir, a large-hoofed mammal with a short, flexible snout. Toucans, however, are commonly spotted; other birds that can be seen in the forest include the solitary Black cacique, which makes its nest in the pindó palm; various species of woodpecker and the striking Crested yacutinga. Of the forest's many butterflies, the most striking are those of the Morphidae family, whose large wings are a dazzling metallic blue.

Tip: To boost the immune system by way of the thymus gland and to stimulate the heart chakra you can tap the center of your Sternum (Chest) with the last 3 fingers of either hand a few times a day. The last 3 fingers are connected to the heart by other pathways, so using them to tap the sternum allows for a connection of heart energy to be made, amplifying the area.
To start off here is a list of the 7 major Chakras, their name, color, associated gland, location
and attributes:
The Chakra system is a non-physical part of the human body, it is an energetic layer of colors and vibrations that give life to the physical body. It is said that the way we live our lives, our habits, understandings and bodily imbalances, for the most part, arise from our chakras. They also have a strong connection to our past lives, if someone was greatly injured in a past life, a weakness in that chakra's area will manifest with in the next reincarnation.
In the chakra system there are 7 major chakra's, plus hundreds of smaller ones through out the body. As you can see above, the chakras are identified by color and location. They run up the vertical center of our bodies connecting Earth and Heaven energies. In the world of acupuncture, all acupuncture points are also considered Micro chakras, which weave a web of energy through out the body.
There are many ways to work with the chakras and acupuncture is a very unique tool in doing so. When actually puncturing the skin, the needles are able to deeply affect the energies of the chakras. Fortunately, the needles are very thin and little, so they hardly cause any discomfort.
According to author and acupuncturist Mikio Sankey, there are numerous acupuncture needle patterns, which are based of off Sacred Geometry that can activate and heal all the chakras. These Esoteric acupuncture treatments are meant to help bring people beyond optimal physical health into high levels of spiritual awareness.
Esoteric acupuncture is relatively new, but slowly growing in the U.S., especially in California. If you would like to learn more about Esoteric Acupuncture, please find Mikio Sankey's books under the book tab above.
If you have any questions or comments please let me know, thank you and have a wonderful day.

Using the latest in medical technology, The ClearPores Skin Cleansing System was created to finally reduce and inhibit acne at its core. According to the product website, ClearPores has been recommended by doctors and herbalists alike.
Using a three-step process, ClearPores:
1. Utilizes a daily supplement to combat the source of acne starting underneath the surface of the skin.
2. A cleanser to wash away surface dirt and oil, clearing away current breakouts while preventing the formation of new ones.
3. Medicated lotion to improve the healthy look of the skin.
This three-step system works to eradicate the cause of acne starting on the inside of the body. It is designed to fight current breakouts, prevent new breakouts, and give the face a healthy glow. The overall appearance of the face is improved by further reducing the spotting and scarring that stems from problem acne.
Click here for more information about each piece in the kit.
In the first step, a completely natural herbal supplement helps to combat acne problems underneath the skin. The ingredients target the old cells to rebuild new, healthy cells as well as bring a natural, overall balance in the body's chemistry. This balance aids in reducing inflammation and scarring. Aloe Vera, dandelion root, kelp, and red clover are the main ingredients.
In the second step, the facial wash is formulated to kill the acne causing bacteria, unclog pores, and wash away old skin cells. The oil-free wash is available in a body wash as well. The special ingredients work to nourish the skin, encourage new cell regeneration, and aid in healing.
Finally, the ClearPores Facial and Body Protection Cream works to keep the skin moisturized without clogging the pores or encouraging new acne to form. While providing relief to inflamed skin, this cream leaves the skin soft and giving off a healthy glow. All natural ingredients, such as green tea, aid in the continual healing process of embarrassing acne, spotting, and scars.
Click here to see how ClearPores works long term.
ClearPores believes that you will be so impressed with this unique three-part system, that there is a risk-free 90-day trial period. One of the only products that promote not only to heal the surface of acne problems, but below the skin's surface as well, many doctors are endorsing the use of ClearPores. Because ClearPores is completely natural, there is no worry about harmful side effects or irritating skin reactions. For any problems or questions, they also provide a twenty-four hour customer service phone line.
By using the ClearPores system, the only thing you have to lose is embarrassing acne, scars, and spots. Dry, flaky skin will be a distant memory. You have everything to gain like softer, smoother, and healthier acne-free skin.

New York can't handle the Nobunny. Ah, fuck it, of course it can, but it's fun to present a dude who rocks a rabbit mask and dollar-store lingerie as some kind of harbinger of urban chaos. The nice thing about Nobunny? His jams hop between hyper and happy, channeling the garage rock guano of Goner and HoZac (labels he's recorded for) through giddy and drunk '60s frat rock, never once going anywhere near the kind of goon squad bad tidings you might expect a masked man to harbor in his darkest places. Nobunny? Don't worry, Gotham: his burrow is full of fun. With the caustic, cool TV Ghost and Shellshag.

After debuting at this years' Paris Motor Show , the Maserati Gran Turismo MC Stradale may be a mouthful to say, but the looks and performance of this mighty Italian machine make you forgive its stupid name…
This car is the most powerful, lightest, and fastest road-going Maserati to date, with 450BHP (336kW) from theFerrari -based 4.2 liter V8 that we've come to know and love over the years. Needless to say the soundtrack from this race-inspired Mazza will give you goosebumps in a very intimately satisfying way. When Italians use the word Stradale – you can be sure that the car in question comes with racing pedigree and the handling and performance to match. A dual clutch transmission finds it way into the mix along with carbon ceramic brakes by Brembo. As with all supercar offerings don't expect a top speed of over 300km/h and a 0-100km/h sprint of around 4 seconds to come cheap – pricing has yet to be announced, but the release date - quarter one of 2011 - is still on.
The car is being driven by Grand Prix veteran, Johnny Herbert , and you can enjoy his comments on the car at the end. Look out for the GranTurismo Trofeo edition on track as well – the car upon which the Stradale is based.
Sit back, turn up the volume, and enjoy!

Who doesn't love a good comfort food? Growing up, meatloaf was one of my favorite meals; however, only my mom's! Meatloaf is one of those items that I would never order at a restaurant because in my head it will never be as good as home. Since leaving my parents' house I've modified meatloaf quite a bit and I'm happy to report I'm very content with this recipe. If you've never made meatloaf, I say give it a whirl… you don't know what you're missing! Buen Provecho!
Here's the recipe
1 lb ground beef
1 lb spicy Italian sausage, removed from casing
2 T grill seasoning
½ onion, diced
½ green pepper, diced
1 Egg
1 T olive oil
1 yellow onion, halved and sliced thin
2 T Worcestershire Sauce
2 Stevia Packets
1 T water
Preheat oven to 350
Place ground beef and sausage in a bowl. Add diced onion, green pepper, egg and grill seasoning.
Mix thoroughly to incorporate both meats and evenly distribute veggies and spice.
Put mixture evenly in a meat loaf pan.
Bake for 40-45 minutes
In the last 15 minutes of baking time prepare the glazed onions.
In a skillet heat up 1T of olive oil.
Add the sliced onion and cook for 5-10 minutes until they are softened.
Remove onions from the pan and add Worcestershire sauce, stevia and water.
Mix well and let sauce simmer until it begins to thicken.
Add onions back in and let it cook on low until the meatloaf is finished.
Remove meatloaf from pan and top with onions

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.
The War of the Ancients Caverns of Time raid should involve tracking down some rogue time travellers, beating them into unconsciousness, and returning them to the present before they do too much damage.
Considering the rules we have to follow whenever we go back in time, that's the least that should happen. Everyone who isn't a human, dwarf, or gnome going into Durnholde or Stratholme having to wear a magical disguise to keep them from standing out, and after we finish our tasks, the memory of every non-demigod who interacts with us gets erased so our time-travelling selves don't end up in history books.
Yet here we have a human, orc, and dragon who disguises himself as a high elf operating openly in ancient Kalimdor, a time before orcs ever saw Azeroth, and before high elves (and possibly humans) even existed. And no action is taking to preserve the pre-time traveller timeline. Having an instance to stop Rhonin, Broxigar, and Krasus almost writes itself.
