The magneto's listed on the site are all overhauled units. Try adding an R at the end of your part number, i.e.. 10-349350-4R. The R stands for Rebuild and has been utilized by Kelly Aerospace and Electrosystems as a means to identify the overhauled status.
The W at the end of a battery part number indicates this battery comes with electrolyte. If you are searching for a G25 battery and want to purchase one with electrolyte, include a W at the end of your part number.
Many of the primary categories can be expanded to sub-categories by clicking the small + on the right side of the category column. For instance, by expanding the Alternator Category you will find sub categories devoted to Chrysler, Ford, Hartzell and Prestolite alternators.

US 'Railroad Killer' pleads insanity
A Mexican drifter has admitted responsibility for murdering nine people in the USA.
Lawyers for Angel Maturino Resendiz made the admission as he went on trial in Texas charged with raping and murdering a female doctor in Texas.
Formal pleas of not guilty by reason of insanity were entered on behalf of Resendiz.
His lawyer, Allen Turner, told the court: "The defendant has no remorse for any of his crimes. The defendant in his mind thinks these people were evil and deserved to die."
Resendiz surrendered to the Texas authorities last July, shortly after being placed in the top 10 of the FBI's "Most Wanted" list.
All his victims were found near railway lines, earning him the nickname "Railroad Killer".
The court was told that Resendiz had criss-crossed the US and Mexico by train for years.
At one point, he was detained by the US immigration authorities, but was deported to Mexico without questioning because of a computer error.
The woman who was raped and murdered, Dr Claudia Benton, was attacked while her husband and children were away. She had been working on research into a rare genetic disorder known as Angelman syndrome.
If Resindez is found guilty of her murder, prosecutors are expected to bring the other killings into play in a bid to press home their request for the death penalty.
"I don't want to overwhelm the jury with all these capital murders, but I still want to prove them beyond a reasonable doubt," prosecutor Devon Anderson said before the trial.
Six of the victims were killed in Texas, two in Illinois and one in Kentucky. The killings took place between 1997 and 1999.

A non-library friend sent this to me this morning (Thanks Zena!).A Jamie Laure posted his response to patron challenge of the kids book Uncle Bobby's Wedding by Sarah Brannen.A He stated that his reasoning behind sharing this was that he anticipated that this book would be challenged a lot this year, in many libraries.
I like his opening paragraph.A Obviously he's American, but I like how he references the relevant policy documents:
The intent of providing all that isn't just to occupy your time. It's to demonstrate that our lay Board of Trustees à ¢Ã¢"š ¬Ã¢â'¬Å"- which has reviewed and adopted these policies on behalf of our library — has spent time thinking about the context in which the library operates, and thoughtfully considered the occasional discomfort (with our culture or constituents) that might result. There's a lot to consider.
His letter goes on to reply to the various objections that the patron has.A In the 3 hours that was spent on intellectual freedom in library school I was taught that the best approach is to not engage in the specifics of the argument, but rather to focus on the broader policy issues and the broader theme of intellectual freedom.A I think his letter is really thoughtful, sincere, polite and effective.A I dislike receiving pat responses to complaints that I made.A What do you think?
I like the conclusion too:
Finally, then, I conclude that à ¢Ã¢"š ¬Ã…"Uncle Bobby's Weddingà ¢Ã¢"š ¬ is a children's book, appropriately categorized and shelved in our children's picture book area. I fully appreciate that you, and some of your friends, strongly disagree with its viewpoint. But if the library is doing its job, there are lots of books in our collection that people won't agree with; there are certainly many that I object to. Library collections don't imply endorsement; they imply access to the many different ideas of our culture, which is precisely our purpose in public life.
Would you be willing to share some of the letters you've written in response to challenges in your library?A Would seeing how other libraries have delt with challenges and being able to read their responses be helpful for you?

2011 Winnebago Adventurer 32H Review
Get ready for adventure
This motorhome comes in three spacious floorplans, all of which incorporate a full-wall slide so you can maximize your living space. Since we dont have time to go through all of them, well be concentrating our efforts on the 32H, the smallest plan in the series. The 32H measures in with a length of 32'10", an exterior height of 12'9", an exterior width of 8'5.5", an interior height of 7' and an interior width of 8'0.5.
Built using Winnebagos SuperStructure construction process, the Adventurer features a solid framework, and steel and aluminum substructures and components. Backed by a 10-year limited parts-and-labor roof skin warranty, its crowned, one-piece fiberglass roof stands up to the harshest elements, as fiberglass offers superior strength and durability that never streaks or degrades. Surrounding the Adventurer are durable, lightweight Thermo-Panel sidewalls that combine fiberglass, high density block-foam insulation and an inner wall surface with aluminum support structures. Adding safety and stability are metal substructures that secure cabinets and appliances. Finally, turning it into a cohesive unit are specially engineered interlocking joints that connect the floor, sidewalls and roof, while an electro deposition coating helps protect critical steel components.
Boasting a Ford F53 22,000-lb. chassis, this RV is powered by a 362-hp 6.8L V10 SEFI Triton engine. Making it a breeze to handle are TorqShift 5-speed automatic overdrive transmission with tow haul, HydroMax brakes with ABS, and a 175-amp. alternator. Add in a trailer hitch with a 5,000-lb. drawbar and 500-lb. maximum vertical tongue weight with 7-pin connector, stylized aluminum wheels and HWH hydraulic leveling jacks, and youve got a whole new level of convenience.
You want to be comfortable no matter where you end up... and the Adventurer has kept that in mind. Thats why it comes with systems that are designed to keep you living the high life. Youre in control of the 5,500-watt Cummins Onan generator, which has the energy command automatic generator start/stop system. The generators controls are located in the OnePlace systems center (the command center of all of the key components switches and gauges).
Also guaranteeing your comfort is its TrueAir Maximum Comfort AC system. Using next-generation technology, the Adventurers two high-efficiency, low-profile roof-mount cooling units offer superb cooling power, while its D-shaped formed ductwork optimizes airflow. For precision cooling, the TrueAir comes equipped with a dual-zone thermostat that offers precision cooling and adjustable ceiling vents.
Put those interior decorating skills to good use. The Adventurer gives you the option of three fabric collections - Granite Cliff with Sandbox UltraLeather, Castleton with Marsh UltraLeather and Hawthorne with Putty UltraLeather thats perfectly complemented with four cabinet wood finishes, each with satin nickel hardware.
Get behind the wheel of the Adventurer and youll know what it feels like to be in total control. The drivers seat features a 6-way power pedestal that adjusts the seat to your body. All of the controls are close by the dash is equipped with RV Radio that comes with easy-to-use touch screen controls, CD player and built-in weatherband, as well as an optional sideview camera system that can also be viewed through the in-dash screen. The trip never seems long when you can listen to your favorite tunes, so its a good thing this RV has the option of Sirius Plug-N-Play satellite radio, complete with an iPod interface connection, two docking ports and a complimentary six-month subscription. The cab also comes with a dash workstation that pulls out for your laptop, and an MCD American Duo front roller shade that features a powered visor, a light-filtering shade and a blackout shade.
Its nice to know that even away from home, you still have options. With its full-wall slide giving you plenty of room for fun and relaxation, you can choose between a carpeted lounge area and easy-to-clean vinyl tile. A large screen LCD TV keeps you connected to your favorite shows, as does the HD-compatible satellite receiver and DISH Network. And you can put your feet up and relax on the dual-control Rest Easy multi-position lounge. This handy piece of furniture glides from couch to recliner to bed just push a button and get comfortable.
Whats on the menu? How does a fully featured kitchen sound? In the looks department, the kitchen has a lot going for it, thanks to Corian solid surface countertops with a matching backsplash and covers for the sink and range. In the way of functionality, it comes equipped with a three-burner range with an available oven, microwave oven and two-door refrigerator/freezer. Offering storage and easy access are huge drawers and full-extension drawer slides, while filtered cold water is courtesy of a dedicated faucet. When its time to chow down, take a seat at the U-shaped dinette that comes with hidden storage compartments and converts into a comfortable bed.
The master bedroom is your own private sanctuary. With a rear slideout to give you even more room, the private master bedroom has a queen innerspring mattress (or upgrade to the Ideal Rest digital comfort control mattress that offers dual air chambers with a foam top and individual comfort controls to adjust the firmness to your sleeping comfort). Before you drift off to sleep, watch a movie on the LCD TV with stereo system, CD/DVD player, iPod/MP3, input and built-in alarm clock. If youre going to be on the road for awhile, plenty of storage makes it easy to pack for extended trips.
Next to the master bedroom is the bathroom. Featuring a textured glass shower door, a flexible showerhead, laminate countertop, skylight, porcelain toilet and water pump switch, you wont miss a thing while youre away from home.
The 2011 Winnebago Adventurer 32H Class A Motorhome has a base price of $146,686. For more information, visit http://www.gowinnebago.com/.

Commentary by Dr Peter Westaway, chief economist and head of the Investment Strategy Group for Vanguard in Europe.
Biola Babawale: Negative interest rates: How low can they go? My name is Biola Babawale. I am an analyst on Vanguard's sovereign credit desk. I have with me Peter Westaway, chief economist and head of investment strategy at Vanguard Europe.
Peter, the chart is showing us yield curves of four major advanced economies. You have the US and UK; the yield curves are low but positive, whereas what stands out is very much Germany and Japan's yield curves. They are negative all the way up to the 10-year maturity. Do you think this is sustainable?
Peter Westaway: Yes, thanks. I think it is a really extraordinary situation. I believe that 30% of the outstanding bonds issued by the advanced economies are in negative territory at the moment. I think it probably is sustainable for the immediate future, because Germany and Japan, at the moment, have set their benchmark – their headline policy rate – at below zero, in negative territory, and they are probably expected to hold them there for the next year or so. So that means as you move out along the yield curve, it will stay negative. Then on top of that, you have QE, which is probably also forcing down some of the yield curve yields, so overall, I think we're going to be having this situation for probably two years, at least.
Biola Babawale: Will it stop people investing in bonds?
Peter Westaway: Well, I know that people are tempted to move their money into cash at the moment, but I think that is probably a little bit risky.
Biola Babawale: But do you think the investor should stick with bonds, even when they are yielding negative interest rates?
Peter Westaway: Yes, I think it is important to remember why you hold bonds in the first place. Bonds are in your portfolio for two main reasons. First of all, they provide stability. They are much less volatile than equities. Second, they act as a diversifier in the sense that when equities go up in value bonds tend to go down and vice versa, so that can be really critical. What this chart shows that if you look at the 25% of worst equity performance outcomes over the last 15 years, what it shows is that on average equities fell by about 6.5%, and over that same period, bonds at different levels of maturity tended to rise in value. On average, the aggregate market for bonds rose by 2.7%, so that is almost a third of the value was recovered by just holding that diversified portfolio in bonds.
Biola Babawale: Peter Westaway, thank you very much.

Behind the Scenes: SunSprite Production Testing
The other day, I caught myself marveling at a tape dispenser. Now that I am seeing this side of manufacturing, I have a lot more appreciation for how much work must have gone into designing and manufacturing even the simplest products.
We've been testing SunSprite continuously for months, but as we start mass production, things are really ramping up. Here are some highlights from behind the scenes.
Above is a picture of me testing how the production PCB boards fit into the final, injection molded cases.
SunSprite uses custom Li-polymer batteries, so we tested several of these to confirm that they work as advertised. In the picture below, the batteries are the little yellow squares among the heap of wires on the breadboard. I wrote some python code to control a USB-DAQ to test the batteries in parallel (code here).
Below is (half of) the mold used to make the case. Before mass-producing an injection molded plastic part, you first "shoot" a few dozen parts to make sure the mold is the right size and shape.
And then there's software to test. For example, you need to test how the cloud will store and process SunSprite data. How do you test that? You generate a lot of fake data and analyze what happens (code here).
It's looking like all systems are go, and the whole system is coming together in advance of shipping. Whether you're producing a SpaceX rocket or just a tape dispenser, it takes time, patience, and a whole lot of coffee.

Okay, let's just celebrate how stinkin' cute my then 22 month old was.
The month of November was a good one for Jocelyn.
She continued to practice her walking skills. This time, with a cookie in hand. Her love for cookies and all things Cookie Monster was a yummy phase. I love cookies, too, so I could hardly blame her for asking for them.
In PT, she continued to work on walking. You would think that once she took her first steps, she'd be all done with therapy. But nope. Now she's got to learn how to walk around and over obstacles. How to walk on uneven surfaces. Up inclines. Back down again. Her big goal is to master stair climbing. She's still has a lot of work to do on building her muscles.
As you can see, she still holds her hands up for balance as she toddles around. I think its super cute. I know she won't do this for much longer. One day she will be able to walk with her hands by her sides.
What she does not physically accomplish, she makes up with in speech. That girl can talk! And boy does she have an opinion. "NO! MOMMY DO THAT! JAYCE STOP! NO, JAINA! GO TO WORK DADDY!" is pretty much what she says all the time. Oh, and she's got the whole possession thing down. "That's Jaina's. Here ya go, Jayce! That's Mommy's phone. NO! THAT's MINES! JOCELYN'S!!!" The "mines" part kills me every time. Even when she's screaming no at me.
She will randomly decide that she wants to hug and kiss someone. But it has to be on her terms. Jocelyn will repeat the words, "I love you" but doesn't say them spontaneously yet. She tells me every day that she loves me in other ways. Like when she looks at Brian and says, "No! Mommy's baby!" as she pats her chest.
Jocelyn loves to play with her 15 stuffed animals but has little interest in dolls. She feeds her Cookie Monster play plastic cookies and strolls her Mickey and Minnie dolls in the stroller. She gives them hugs and kisses and tells them "night night" when they go to bed.
In order to go to sleep, she must have the following:
-Cookie Monster
-Pink Minnie Mouse
-Red Minnie Mouse
-Singing Minnie Mouse
-Talking Minnie Mouse
-Little Mickey Mouse
-Big Mickey Mouse
-Santa Mickey Mouse
-Snoopy with Black ears
-Snoopy with Pink Ears
-both Monkeys
-Blue Puppy from Blues Clues
Yep, that's 15. Since she sleeps in a mini crib, not even a full sized crib, there is hardly even room for her. But she does not want to sleep in her toddler bed, she says. "No! Crib!" is her answer when I ask her. Whatever.
My favorite words that come out of her mouth are "Cuddle mommy couch?" That is something I love to do :)

Committee Members
Hi, I'm Karin MacDonald, and this is my first year as President of the Adoptive Families Association. My husband Brendan and I have a gorgeous five-year-old son, who we brought home from the Philippines in 2013. We are now officially waiting to bring home a little brother or sister.
This is my second year on the committee, and I am very excited about the helping with the role that the AFA plays in supporting families in the adoption and permanent care community in Canberra and region. I hope to bring my experience in working in government to getting better communication for our families – both those waiting, and those already home.
I was adopted from South Korea at six months of age and was raised in a small country town in NSW. In 2010 I was fortunate enough to travel to Busan to meet my birth family.
I began my involvement with AFA last year, after living abroad for two years. I'm looking forward to working with the Committee to ensure another wonderful year for our AFA members.
Hi, my name is Janine. My husband and I are the proud and busy parents of two beautiful children from China. Cheng Rui is 10 years old, adopted from Nanning in 2005. Samuel or Sam as he likes to be called, is a lively 6 year old boy from Huzhou, adopted in 2008.
This is my second year as Treasurer and being on the AFA Committee and I look forward to working hard in my assigned role.
We have four General Committee members.

ANOTHER DOOR OPENS: The doorway to Room 12.
"When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us."
"Don't worry my Sookybear. Just because you left your job, doesn't mean you have to be upset. Just remember, when one door closes, another opens for you."
It all has to do with ego.
I have a large, healthy ego, but I am starting to wonder if that's an asset or a liability. Let me explain.
It seems that all throughout my life, I've led a dichotomous existence. While I had this tremendous hunger to achieve—I at the same time, hated school and eschewed the conventional path for achievement in our society: by being a good student.
I had zero interest in school, from kindergarten all way through my torturous years in college.
I must point out, that there is one area of conventional achievement, that I have adhered to: my work ethic. I learned my work ethic (as long as it did not relate to school work) from my parents, who worked 12 hours a day without whinging and whining (that's Britspeak for complaining–ha!)–who incidentally, did not believe in "retirement."
Do you know how rare that is in this day and age?
Instead of being fixated on academic achievement, I adopted an attitude of trying to become "the best" in endeavors that truly interested me.
One example of this was when I took up the martial arts, at the relatively advanced age (for martial arts study) of 29. For the martial arts, I chose the hardest road possible, enrolling in a non-commercial school whose system practiced bare knuckle sparring with no punches pulled, and full power hits to one's opponents.
In a four year period, I became a disciple of my teacher, while spending 5 nights a week at the dojo, and achieved black belt status. In our system, "black belt" meant something. Unlike shopping mall schools where belts were awarded just for showing up and paying tuition—I and my dojomates paid in blood and broken bones—but we developed a toughness from the realistic training, that is lacking from commercial schools.
We didn't play "tag." We hit with the intent of trying to hurt the opponent, as much as possible. We cultivated a killer instinct in ourselves.
I eventually opened my own school, where I taught my students and disciples (in the true martial arts, there is a distinction between "student" and "disciple"—disciples being more dedicated) in the same tough manner in which I came up.
After many years of bringing my disciples up, the martial arts became an integral part of my identity. This is what my reference to my "ego" meant—that it was paramount to me, that I teach in the best way possible, and that this—defined me—at that point in my life.
There is a danger in allowing one's participation in an endeavor, and doing it well, define oneself. The danger is wounded ego, if that endeavor is lost. And so it happened with the martial arts in my life.
After a decade of teaching at night after full days' work in my regular job, I began to crave some personal time in this endless work cycle—so, making sure that my disciples were well schooled, and ready for teaching their students–I retired from teaching the martial arts
Admittedly, I was fearful of losing a part of my identity, with the subsequent hit to my ego—that of the "respected martial arts teacher."
I used to bring my disciples for dinner at Chinatown restaurants here in NYC, and I became accustomed to restaurant owners and waiters greeting me with exclamations of, "Sifu, so good to see you. Welcome. It's honor to have you here!"
"Sifu" means revered teacher in Chinese, as does "Sensei" in Japanese. People in my neighborhood who knew I was a teacher in a school of repute, might call me Sensei if they did not know any better. That sort of recognition does feed one's ego.
As you know from "Memoir: Worry Not" and "Memoir: Worry Not Part 2—Room 12"—I left my job of 27 years last week.
This is relevant with respect to my fear of losing a part of my identity as a "someone who mattered" in ophthalmology, just as I "mattered" when I retired from martial arts teaching.
I recently said to someone….
"I'll never retire. I need to have the structure of work; I need to feel productive."
This was before the detritus hit the cooling mechanism. At that point before what precipitated my leaving my job occurred, I anticipated great anxiety, if I had to retire.
That was then, and this is now.
TWINKLEBEAR: God! So hot, and so wise!
Right after I hastily left my job in an indignant rush, my beloved Twin Flame "Twinklebear" Lesley Maclean said to me….
"Don't worry my Sookybear…..when one door closes, another one opens for you. You will have less stress now. You will see, it will be good!"
And so it has been. Amazingly, a mere five days after quitting my job, I am so much more relaxed. The full scale panic and anxiety I anticipated at being retired, never materialized.
I love my Twin Flame Twinklebear, so very much. She is so wise, as well as being sexy and hot beyond belief. She was right. All I need in this world to feel myself, is Twinklebear and Room 12.
When I met my true "other half," my Twin Flame in late 2015, one thing is for sure. Another door opened for me, to a world wonderful and amazing, with my Twinklebear. It is is a heightened spiritual life with her, and yet, an ever so primordial existence.
We are primal.
I could not feel like myself without her. If you don't know what that means, then you haven't been reading previous memoirs, and paying attention.
I love you, Twinklbear
Forever and a day
Twin Flames, Podmates always
Bear Pact Forever
12 12 12 in every way

On August 10, 2017, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) released a Request for Information (RFI) to solicit input from a wide variety of stakeholders on the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO)-wide Cohort Data Collection Protocol. Stakeholders that the NIH hopes will respond to the RFI include: non-ECHO researchers, advocacy groups, professional organizations, and the general public. Comments are due by September 13, 2017. For more information and to contribute, please visit: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-17-090.html.
Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) is a nationwide NIH-funded research program whose mission is to enhance the health of children for generations to come. The program consists of observational and intervention components. This RFI pertains to the observational component, the ECHO Pediatric Cohorts. The overall scientific goal of the ECHO Pediatric Cohorts is to investigate associations of a broad array of early environmental influences with child health and development. ECHO prioritizes addressing research questions that have impact on policies, practices, and programs.

Informationist and rounding/bedside services for hospital and healthcare professionals have been an expanding service area for medical information professionals in recent years. Also, the rise of mobile technology has accelerated the growing trend for information professionals to be "embedded" within their clients' workplace settings, providing evidence-based and actionable information as it's needed.
The practice of embedding information professionals began in the early 2000's, when laptop computers began to free people from their desks and mobile computing started gaining traction. Initially corporate information services began to transform themselves from being place centered to service driven. Medical libraries soon picked up the trend and I am proud to say that in 2005 I was among the first to implement a virtual reference service at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences.
Since then I have become more embedded with my clients and continue to improve my services by exploiting advances in mobile technology, and on November 15th I'll be participating in a panel about informationist and rounding services provided by health care information professionals. I'll be speaking about my ongoing experiences rounding with clinicians at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, the informationist services I provide to different groups of health care professionals there, and the integration of the iPad, diagnostic software and text mining into my research strategies and service delivery.
The panel is part of a workshop being held at the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) Annual symposium in Washington DC, which is the most important meeting for biomedical and health informatics researchers and practice. Chaired by Doug Varner, Senior Associate Director at the Dahlgren Memorial Library, the panel speakers are practicing informationists at Johns Hopkins, NIH, and Washington University in St. Louis. Each will be sharing their experiences and lessons learned as we strive to refine bedside, evidence-based information services.
I believe the informationist services I provide at our medical center give MedStar and its healthcare professionals a competitive advantage for delivering the best health care to patients. Not only will I be sharing my knowledge with colleagues at the AMIA meeting panel, I will also be learning from the other panelists' insights and practices which I can use to improve my services at MGUH.

Farmers' Grazing System Helps Barn Owls
WARREN County farmers Ben and David Avis went to USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service in 2001 looking for advice about how to improve their pastures. What they found was that cattle aren't the only animals to benefit from the rotational grazing system they built over the last 15 years. This past May, representatives of the World Bird Sanctuary delivered the fifth pair of American barn owls to the Avis farm for release into the wild. The young owls were Nos. 1,000 and 1,001 that the St. Louis sanctuary raised and released in an attempt to increase the population of barn owls. The program appears to be working. Just four years ago, barn owls were on the endangered species list. Today they are listed as being a "special concern."

St. Charles County Officers Rescue Barred Owl
"A wounded owl, left for dead, flew back into the wild Wednesday, thanks to a couple of St. Charles County Police officers. Adam Caupp and Eric Feagans had no idea how to capture the Barred Owl when they found it on Highway 94 near Augusta, but they couldn't just drive on by. About four o'clock Wednesday afternoon, they had the honor of releasing the bird. Caupp practiced the release with a stuffed eagle toy first. Then, he held the owl for the first time since the rescue about 4 weeks ago."

World Bird Sanctuary releases 1,000th owl into the wild!
Since 1981, World Bird Sanctuary has been breeding and releasing American Barn owls in the state of Missouri due to a drastic drop in overall population, but more specifically in the Midwest region. The American barn owl is key to a balanced ecosystem here in the United States. They are incredibly important to rodent control; each adult bird eating an average of 2,000 mice each year. The drop in population is attributed to two main problems: secondary poisoning from domestic and commercial rodent poisons and habitat loss (older trees and open fields of short grass with hedgerows). The solution to these problems is education about alternatives to rodent control, education about and construction of nest boxes, and propagation to release.

GIVE A HOOT! Barn owl releasing underway in Dent County!
"Barn owls, the majestic white birds of the night, are receiving support from the World Bird Sanctuary and local volunteers as they begin to be released into Dent County. "Barn owls are a species of special concern in Missouri," says Jeff Meshach, the Director of the World Bird Sanctuary in St. Louis. "MDC (the Missouri Department of Conservation) says we do not have the numbers we should be seeing, so we are trying to help increase their population in the wild." The World Bird Sanctuary is nonprofit organization whose primary mission is to preserve the earth's biological diversity and to secure the future of threatened bird species in their natural environments. As part of their Return to the Wild program, Dent County has been selected as one of eight sites in Missouri where barn owls raised in captivity will get their first taste of freedom in the Ozark wilderness."

For those of you who don't yet know, I've been following a raw food diet for two whole weeks now. It all began when we attended the amazing spiritual bootcamp led by Genesis Sunfire and were challenged, after starting a full body salt water flush, to change our diet to a more healthy way of living.
And so we started the journey.
It's been a total rollercoaster since day one and now, two weeks down the road, there are really tangible benefits which I can no longer remain silent about.
And this is what I had to say about it yesterday:
Now, if the truth be known, it hasn't all been a picnic over the past two weeks and I'm going to take a bit of time to fill you in on the gaps as I go. It's not something I've undertaken lightly and I was so ready for some major changes in my life.
You have to get clear on what your motives are for doing it and where you see yourself going with it all.
This journey is not something I am recommending you do. My purpose is to share with you how this incredible experience is unfolding for me and what benefits it is bringing into my life. What you choose to do with it all is alone your choice.
However, if you do decide to embark on following a raw food diet, it helps hugely to have people around you who are willing to support your decision and maybe even join in. Moral support is so invaluable as this is a deeply spiritual experience in every sense.
So, do join me in my escapades. As you can see from this first post, life is already giving me glimpses of something truly delicious and I, for one, am ready to fully open the doors to digesting the rawness of life.
I'd love you to ask me any questions you want and please leave any comments you have.

Tangy tomato and mint turkey veg pot
So, major disaster in Food blog terms. We cannot find the battery charger for the camera. Which means, that for the moment, the high quality, easy to edit pictures of this blog are on hold.
But some good news. I have a slightly crapper, but still kinda okay camera that will do for now. But please, join your hands in hope that I will magically come across the charger, along with some other missing items that seemed to have magically disappeared this past few weeks.
Sigh, talk about first world problems.
But I've still been cooking. Between some very nice meals out for our birthdays, which were awesome. I'll speak more about them later, but first: FOOD.
I have an abundance of mint. People are harvesting their allotments and giving us lots of lovely fresh veggies, and a lot of people have given me mint. Plus I've been slyly trying to grow it myself, so basically, to stop myself talking to much, I have a lot of mint.
Someone said that you can't put mint in anything other than an alcoholic drink, so I obliged and used a large amount of my stocks in jugs of pimms for my birthday. Whilst delicious, there's only so much pimms a girl can drink before she blows up 200 balloons and makes an adult ball pit in her living room.
Wait what? I said I'd say more of that later!
So the answer came to me from google. Where else? When you're desperate and you need an answer, that little box can save you.
"Dear Google what goes with mint?"
As most of the answers were alcohol related - I found the answer on a cocktail website.
"Use it in a bloody mary, tastes great with the tomato juice!"
Oh ughh, I miss the better camera. Must resist urge to delete post.
Anyway, this tastes pretty good. I can relay that the mint flavour is very similar to basil, except it gives a bit of a hit and goes pretty well with the tanginess etc etc. As for the pittas. I made those bad boys from scratch and I'm saving the recipe for another post.
This serves two... though I won't lie - I ate most of it. Yum.
2 large cans of chopped tomatoes
a few sprigs of mint (whole)
300g turkey mince (or if veggie, use preferred meat substitute)
1- 2 large carrots
1 white onion
Handful of spinach leaves
2 spring onions
4 cloves of garlic, crushed.
1 teaspoon of chopped chillies (dried)
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cracked pepper
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
This is a pretty simple recipe. Chop up your carrot, onion, spring onion and spinach how you like. I'm not a dictator here, if you like them sliced, then slice them, if you want them all cubed, then cube them. Though, this recipe probably won't work if you shove everything in whole... so at least do some chopping. Once you've done that, put to one side.
In a jug, pour the tomatoes and add the garlic, chillies, paprika, salt, pepper and vinegar. Give it a good stir.
Get out a baking dish, casserole pot or whatever you call it, and place the veggies and turkey mince into it. Then pour over your sauce. Top with the mint leaves, cover with foil and put in a preheated oven (200°C, 400°F, gas mark 6) for about an hour and a half.
It's cooked when the sauce is bubbling away nicely and everything is cooked through. Top with a fresh mint leaf and serve. (Warning, some people don't like the taste of the cooked mint leaves on top, they've done their infusing, so it's safe to remove them if you like)
So thanks for the birthday wishes a few weeks back, I can report that I had an awesome birthday. I was thoroughly spoilt, with cake, a meal out, tea, lots of visitors, a homemade pavlova, and the adult balloon pit I was talking about earlier after a lot of pimms....
|It begins!
|Dog looking a little confused, plus some beautiful sunflowers from a good friend.
|Homemade pavlova from a talented food blogger friend. Picture taken after pimms hence the quality.
|Ratties enjoying a mint and blackberry smoothie from our garden hawl.

I'm trying to understand the proof of a theorem (Auslander-Buchsbaum) which says that given a local ring $(R,m)$, where $m$ is the maximal ideal, and a finitely generated non-zero $R$-module $M$ such that its projective dimension $\operatorname{pd}_R M$ is finite then the following formula holds: $$\operatorname{pd}_R M + \operatorname{depth} M= \operatorname{depth} R.$$
I remind you that the quantity $\operatorname{depth} M$ in general is defined to be the length of a maximal regular sequence $\bar{x}=x_1,\dots,x_n$ on $M$ in $m$ (i.e. $\bar{x}$ is the maximal sequence of elements in $m$ such that (1) $M/(\bar{x})M\neq 0$ and (2) $x_j$ is a non-zero divisor in $M/(x_1,\dots,x_{j-1})M$).
In the proof of this theorem (proven by induction) it is used the fact that the projective dimension $\operatorname{pd}_R M$ is equal to $\operatorname{pd}_{R/xR}M/xM$, where $x$ is not a zerodivisor on $M$ nor on $R$, but I cannot understand why this should be true... Can you help me?

Soon, we may be able to peer back in time and "see the first light in the universe."
NASA has been using this bold promise to generate buzz for the 2018 James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). But, the rather-romantic phrasing of one of the JWST's primary mission goals belies a very real, groundbreaking capability of the instrument pegged as the successor to the iconic Hubble Space Telescope.
Following in the footsteps of the soon-to-be-retired Hubble, JWST will continue to image the spectacular galaxies and nebulae that have captured the public's imagination for the past 27 years of Hubble's career.
But in many ways, the JWST is set to surpass its predecessor. From its solar orbit 1 million miles (1.5 million km) from the Earth, the JWST will be turning its 6 meter (19.7 ft), hexagonal, gold-plated mirror to scientific goals both old and new. Studying exoplanets, star formation, and galactic evolution are all among the JWST's principle missions, but the one of the most fascinating, yet mystifying, goals of the JWST is to "see the first light in the Universe."
The evidence of our universe's past is not in a place, or even a time; it's all around us.
The notion that we can somehow look back in time to the beginning of the universe, seems to blur the line between science and fiction – until we consider the fact that, to some degree, all telescopes grant us this 'time-traveling' ability.
The evidence of our universe's past is not in a place, or even a time; it's all around us. Telescopes allow astronomers to image light from distant stars, but light takes time to travel to us. So, when we see the light from a star that is 100 light-years away, we are seeing the light that left the star 100 years ago. For all intents and purposes, we are seeing 'back in time' to what the star would have looked like 100 years prior.
Hubble itself can see stars and galaxies more than 13 billion light years away. That means that it is capable of capturing the light that reaches Earth from objects formed just 480 million years after the Big Bang (a relatively small timescale compared to the 13.6-billion-years since our universe's inception).
In comparison, the James Webb is going to gather data from even further back in time – a mere 100-200 million years after the Big Bang. The way that it is going to do so, however, reveals the JWST website's eye-catching claim to be a bit more complex than it first may seem.
The JWST will continue making same deep-field observations of super-distant objects that Hubble did and will still be looking directly for extraordinarily old light-sources; however, in addition, the JWST's cutting-edge instruments will help us learn more about the evolution of the early universe and about the period which the first stars and galaxies were formed: the Reionization Epoch.
A Brief History of the Beginning of Everything
Immediately after the Big Bang, the universe was in a hot dense "soup" of electrons, protons, and neutrons, until it cooled enough to form ionized hydrogen and deuterium (and subsequently helium-4) around 240,000-300,000 years later. It wasn't long before the newly-produced helium, ionized hydrogen, and the trace amounts of light elements attracted and absorbed the remaining free electrons of the "soup."
Once this occurred – during the period known as the recombination era – the universe went from opaque to transparent for the first time. Today our universe is mostly transparent. We can see the light from distant stars that has traveled millions of miles to reach us. In the opaque, pre-recombination Universe, however, the dense clouds of materials would have scattered and absorbed most light before it got very far. This meant that, if someone had turned on a lightbulb in the early universe, a person standing only a few meters away wouldn't have been able to see the light at all.
Following that initial opacity of the universe, the new transparency of the recombination era allowed the light to travel through space mostly unimpeded as it does today, but with one key difference. Due to the dense neutral hydrogen present during this time, the universe would have still been opaque to shorter, bluer wavelengths of light. The person looking for his or her friend with the lightbulb, would be able to see the light, but upon inspecting it with instruments, would realize that only part of the spectrum of the light was getting through.
How can James Webb study something we, by definition, cannot see? By looking at what is not there, of course.
This period of second opacity is known as the universal dark ages: the time after the recombination era, but before the first stars and galaxies formed in the Reionization Epoch.
Reionization refers to the process by which neutral hydrogen, the absorbing culprit behind the opacity of the dark ages, is split back into its component electrons and protons by ultraviolet radiation, thus allowing the high intensity radiation from early stars to travel further. Neutral hydrogen has a tendency to steal high energy, short wavelength light to create ionized hydrogen: a form of hydrogen which doesn't affect in any way light that passes through it, and is thus fully transparent to light.
The energy required to ionize hydrogen and split it back into particles likely came from the UV radiation of early stars or black holes. Stars forming during this period could have been 30-300 the mass of our sun, a million times as bright, and lived brief lives of a few million years. Astronomers predict that these superhot early stars began to reionize the neutral gases surrounding themselves, thereby creating transparent "ionization bubbles." These bubbles surrounding each star eventually grew and overlapped with their neighbors – eating up the obscuring neutral hydrogen that surrounded them – to reveal nearly-fully transparent universe we see today.
But the light of the first stars was partly obscured by neutral during the dark ages, and only during the late stages of reionization did ionized hydrogen let all wavelengths of light through. So, how can James Webb study something we, by definition, cannot see? By looking at what is not there, of course.
Seeing the Evidence of Reionization
When we analyze light spectra (the broad range of light wavelengths that objects emit), we can learn a lot about the objects that produce the light.
Each chemical element absorbs a different wavelength of light's broad spectrum of wavelengths. Therefore, by examining at what wavelength pieces of a star's light spectrum are missing, we can make good estimates about what elements are present in a star. However, not all absorption lines come from the chemical makeup of star itself. When light from the star passes through neutral hydrogen, for example, another absorption line is formed. The wavelength of light that the neutral hydrogen has 'stolen' to ionize itself is now missing from the light spectrum.
Current models of the distribution of neutral hydrogen in the modern universe estimate that the further an object is, the more neutral hydrogen clouds light from the object will pass through in its journey to Earth.
So, more neutral hydrogen at encountered varying distances from an object means more absorption lines clustered at around the same wavelength in a light spectrum. Therefore, the spectra of super-distant objects should have strong dips in in spectra where many absorption lines have clustered (known as Gunn-Peterson Troughs) that indicate that they formed during reionization when much more neutral hydrogen was present.
To study this phenomenon, scientists chose quasars, or quasi-stellar objects – the objects so immensely bright that we can see them from great distances. By examining the spectra of quasars at different redshifts (read, "distances"), scientists have been able to estimate the point at which reionization ended and our universe was fully transparent: a distance and point in time known as redshift 6. When quasars are further away than redshift 6, and their light is therefore older, their spectra have distinct Gunn-Peterson troughs. Closer than redshift 6, no troughs have yet been found.
However, even a miniscule amount of neutral hydrogen can cause a noticeable dip in the spectrum which means that, just because we see trough-like features, doesn't necessarily mean that the quasar was formed during reionization.
Fortunately, there is a way to double check: examining the spectrum for small, isolated transmission spikes – or patchy-absorption – in the Gunn-Peterson trough region of a spectrum would strongly indicate that the quasar's light encountered not only neutral hydrogen, but the bubbles of ionized hydrogen that early objects created towards the end of reionization, as well.
Scientists have been able to record a handful of quasar spectra that seem to support the current theories about how the light from the first stars led to reionization, but there are still more questions than answers when it comes to the early universe. Luckily, the James Webb Space Telescope was designed to answer those very questions. Equipped with the ability to analyze spectra and see further than any telescope to date, in its quest to see the first light, the JWST aims shed some light of its own on the secrets of the early universe.

Treatment of osteochondrosis and other diseases of the musculoskeletal system, as a rule, is carried out using a number of modern and proven techniques and developments. Physiotherapy is, in this case, one of the most important places in the Arsenal of physicians. This area of clinical medicine specializing in the medical and physiological impact on the human body, both natural and artificially created physical factors.
Physiotherapy is the most common and safe method for the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with osteochondrosis. It is devoid of side effects inherent in drugs.
Physiotherapists use proven methods thousands of years of physical therapy (mud therapy) and has been created in our time methods – light therapy, shock wave therapy, a magnetotherapy, treatment by high-frequency and low-frequency, and cryotherapy (the ancient age, but in the modern technical version).
One of the very effective procedures in the treatment of degenerative disc disease is a mud, for example, medical applicators Tambukan dirt. The beneficial effect of these applicators is related to the unique properties of the mud of the lake Tambukan (Caucasian Mineral Waters, Stavropol territory), which comes to us without changing its natural composition. In addition to treatment of osteochondrosis, mud applicationissa it is used for diseases of the nervous system (radiculitis, neuritis, ganglionitah, neuralgia), inflammatory diseases of the joints, arthritis, polyarthritis, trauma, etc.
Applicator with mud placed on the interested area of the body surface and is served heated on a water bath to 35-55ºC thermocompressor. After that the patient layer by layer wrapped with tape, cloth and blanket. The procedure is 15-30 minutes. The course of treatment is 10-15 procedures.
In any physiotherapy room, as a rule, has a traditional set of such devices for physiotherapeutic procedures, such as:
magnetic therapy (apparatus "pole", MAGE, "Gradient");
phototherapy (ultraviolet irradiation "BIOPTRON");
treatment with low frequency currents (electrophoresis, amplipuls, currents Bernard, electrosleep) and high frequency (d'arsonval, UHF);
ultrasound therapy;
paraffin-ozocerite applications.

Party Recap
I created a Candy Corn 2nd Birthday Party to celebrate for my son. The Candy Corn package was a printable package from DimplePrints. I created a large range of desserts for my dessert table and used a lot of popular party stuff like burlap, paper straws, twine, mason jars, and more.

From Clutch
Chancellor was on the University of Missouri campus last week, when she reported to campus police that she was robbed. By whom you ask? By a black man of course.
According to ABC17 News, Chancellor described the suspect as a 6 feet tall black man in his late 20's, with some facial hair and a gun. But after checking the campus' surveillance video, police realized Chancellor was never robbed. And she eventually confessed to the robbery.
Chancellor was charged with one count of filing a false report, a Class B misdemeanor. Imagine how many black male students were rounded up that night.

We had a sleep-in this morning and left the albergue at 08.30 after a good breakfast, and started the walk to Cruz de Ferro. It was a beautiful, clear chilly morning, perfect for walking.
Both of us are feeling really excited about finally reaching the cross and leaving our stones which we had carried from home.
Just as we got to about fifty meters from the cross, a French tour bus pulled in and disgorged about fifty or so tourists who immediately walked up to the cross. They formed a big circle around the cross and started to sing then pray, then some more singing, then some speeches, then more singing and praying. This went on for about twenty or thirty minutes and many pilgrims who arrived about the same time as us left in frustration without getting near the cross.
I got a bit impatient and climbed up as far as I could go and pitched my stone, which was a flat beach stone on which I had written all the names of the people I wanted to remember in my prayers. Well the stone shattered when it made contact with all the other stones in the mound! My granddaughter had given it to me before I left home and I was so mad and disappointed when this happened, I took it as a bad omen. Iggy was a lot more patient than me and waited and let them do their thing. Eventually they left to the relief of everyone, we all got to walk up to the cross and have photos taken of each other. It was a memorable occasion but not in the way I had envisioned.
We slung our packs and headed off towards Ponferrada which was our intended destination. The rest of the day was the most beautiful day we spent on the Camino, walking through mountain trails, glades and passes with birdsong and the smell of wildflowers.
Coming down the mountain was rough enough going and had a toll on feet and ankles but it was worth the pain.
We passed Manjarin on our way but Tomas the Templar was busy entertaining a few other pilgrims so we passed on.
We stopped in Acebo for lunch, the day was heating up and we met up with Ana, John, from Arizona, and a new pilgrim from Texas called Mary, a tough sixty-nine year old who took a shine to Iggy. She wasn't too impressed with me as we disagreed on most things.
John had left the cross without leaving his stone this morning because of the French tourists and was very disappointed as he was carrying his son's ashes to Muxia and thought the Cruz de Ferro would be a special moment for him. I really felt sorry for him.
After lunch we headed off again and reached Molinaseca by about three o'clock. As we crossed the old bridge to the town we heard Ana calling us from a riverside cafe down below We joined her, Mary and Annalise for a drink and chat.
After the first drink we decided to stay put for the day and I went off and organised a private room around the corner from the Cafe. We had a great afternoon chatting and laughing about different things that happened along the way.
Jim from New York arrived later and joined us. His ears were very badly sunburned as he only had a baseball cap but Ana fixed him up with some cream. We all had dinner together then went our separate ways to bed. What a great day.

Medications and your Social Security Disability Claim
Indiana Attorney Scott D. Lewis represents Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claimants with their disability claim. Often times, he will get asked by his disability clients if it is important for them to continue to take their medications prescribed by their treating physicians. When Mr. Lewis discusses the claimant's case, during the free consultation offered at his law office, he often shares with them the importance to continue to visit their treating physicians and the importance of the claimant to comply with the treating physician's orders, including medications. As disability lawyer Scott Lewis explains the disability evaluation process to his potential clients, he also explains the importance of medical records and medication history. When submitting records in support of the claimant's disability claim, Mr. Lewis and his staff will attempt to submit all medications prescribed by the client's treating physician. Many times, claimants will experience side effects with their medications. These side effects may contribute to the claimant's inability to work. Side effects of some pain medications or other medications may include, but are not limited to: fatigue drowsiness nausea breathing impairment mental fogginess gastrointestinal effects decrease in reaction time These side effects may impact the claimant's ability to engage in normal daily activities or one's ability to persist in a work environment. Scott Lewis believes that if a disability claimant does not comply with their treating physician's medication orders, the Social Security Administration (SSA) may deny their disability claim. In Mr. Lewis' experience, it may be in the claimant's best interest to take the medications that have been prescribed by their treating physician and take prescribed medication as instructed. The SSA will determine the severity of the disability and their ability to function while the claimant is medicated. If the disability claimant fails to comply with their medication orders, the SSA may not be able to … Continued

Medication Side Effects in Social Security Disability Cases
Many people wonder if they can be found disabled because of side effects to their prescribed medications. Some people have even given up on their Social Security cases because they thought that they could not be found disabled based solely on side effects to medications. If you doubt that you can be found disabled because of side effects, do not give up! Side effects can be disabling. You may be familiar with the warning labels on the side of your medication bottles. These warnings are very important because the side effects of some medications can cause problems in the work force. It's not uncommon for Indianapolis Attorney Scott D. Lewis to ask his clients about their medications, the side effects of their medications, warnings and limitations caused by their medication. The clients' disabling conditions, coupled with the medications' side effects, can often lead to a "fully favorable" decision from the Social Security Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). Often times, medications may cause drowsiness, inability to drive, nausea, or other side effects and may last for an extended period of time. This alone may not necessarily be enough to get you disability but the side effects to your medication may be helpful in getting your disability claim approved. Side effects to medications can always be considered in a Social Security disability benefit case. In one particular case, a Vocational Expert ("VE") testified that the side effects of the medications caused the claimant to doze off two or three times daily for 10-30 minutes each time which would be enough to preclude any substantial employment. One of the clearest examples of medication side effects is chemotherapy in cases of cancer. This treatment saps your strength and can make you physically sick. This is clearly debilitating and even disabling. Is this enough to make you disabled? That decision is up to a Social … Continued

Introducing Domaine Moissenet-Bonnard: highly regarded by the French, not reviewed by the English speaking press. A new discovery with introductory prices that represent incredible value!
One of the things the French wine critics do far better than their English-speaking counterparts is discover up and coming producers. They are not tied to the same group of crowd-pleasers year-in, year-out.
Both Bettane and Desseauve and Les Guides Hachette de Vins have sung the praise of the latest addition to our portfolio in the their 2012 guides.
Domaine Moissenet-Bonnard is small. Bettane and Desseauve say artisinal. The domaine has been in the same family for eight generations. They produce 13 different wines from their tiny estate and I have decided to concentrate on their terrific reds.
Most are from Pommard where they have a fine selection of lieut-dits and premier crus. But one little gem is their Auxey-Duresses 1er Cru Les Duresses.
This vineyard is the best sited in the commune with stony soil over limestone - perfect for making quality red wines. If you don't know where Auxey-Duresses is (which is perfectly fine) I can tell you that it abuts Meursault and is a kilometre from Volnay. Not a bad part of the world.
To introduce the wines of Moissenet-Bonnard to Australia we have negotiated some unbelievable prices. On top of that we have secured stocks of 2010 as well as 2011 which provides a delightful contrast.
All of the wines are tremendous value but the Auxey-Duresses 1er Cru Les Duresses is stellar buying at just
$38.95 a bottle Pre Arrival.
Where else can you buy a Premier Cru Red for this price? Both the 2010 and 2011 are worth owning. The 2010 is dark and more serious, the 2011 savoury and more perfumed. Drink the 2011 whilst the 2010 develops in the cellar.
And you should not miss the Pommards from some top vineyards as they too are great value.
To read more, view all of the wines and order on our website click here.
If you are looking for great value Red Burgundy from the classic 2010 or delicious 2011 vintage you should seriously consider these wines.
You may order on our website, by email to firstname.lastname@example.com or phone (03) 9326 5737. You may mix and match as you please. The wines will be shipped in our next container scheduled to leave at the end of May.

LONDON (REUTERS) - The psychiatrist brother of Britain's finance minister George Osborne was struck off the British medical register on Thursday for having an affair with a patient and threatening her to keep quiet about it, a disciplinary panel said.
Adam Osborne, who qualified as a doctor in 2004, was ruled unfit to practice over his relationship with the patient, who suffered from depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues, the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) said.
"The tribunal has determined that Dr Osborne's abuse of his professional position, which included sexual misconduct, with a vulnerable patient he was treating for mental health issues, is fundamentally incompatible with continued registration as a medical practitioner," the MPTS said in its ruling.
Osborne, who was married at the time, began treating the woman, referred to as Patient A, on a private basis between February 2011 and late 2014.
He admitted that during that time he had a two-year inappropriate sexual and emotional relationship with her.
After he ended the affair, the woman took an overdose and had to be rushed to hospital.
The tribunal heard Osborne had sent e-mails telling her to withdraw her complaint and making threats against her and her family if she did not.
"If I get into trouble for this, then I will never forgive you for this and I will make sure you pay," one e-mail said.
In a statement, Osborne said he was saddened his behaviour had hurt many people.
"It was never my intention to hurt anyone, although I can now clearly see that my irresponsible behaviour has led to a great deal of distress to the people that I care about, in particular my family and the patient in question," he said.
