LA Weekly's Description
Run by British expatriates, this comfortable bar and restaurant is a spot-on authentic English pub located smack in the middle of Van Nuys. Its wooden paneled walls are covered with photos, keepsakes, ads for Boddingtons Ale and other mementos that evoke the United Kingdom, as well as, naturally, a large poster of Ridley Scott's Robin Hood film. Playing darts is one of the major obsessions at Robin Hood, with two dart boards for serious game playing and a wall festooned with plaques and trophies commemorating the bar's past darts champions. Two large flat-screen televisions are usually dialed into sports broadcasts, including rugby and soccer, and this unpretentious bar has a friendly staff and easygoing vibe that reminds Brits of a classic neighborhood pub in London. Robin Hood is divided into two main rooms, with a separate bar and a larger dining room. Apart from the intense darts competitions, the chief appeal at Robin Hood is its menu, featuring American fare like burgers and salads and such British standbys as bangers & mash, Cornish pastie and shepherd's pie. Many regulars, in fact, fervently insist that the pub's lightly battered fish & chips are the best they've ever had. Hot English teas are always available, and the bar serves up draft beers like Newcastle Brown Ale, Guinness, Tetley's, Harp and Bass. Full bar. Ages 21 & over. Street parking and in the free lot behind the pub.

Pretty much like you'd think an English Pub would be back in jolly old England. Food decent, atmosphere casual, TV screens with soccer, bball or football & darts. A good neighborhood hang!
Fish and Chips are excellent. Ask for Lana as a waitress, she is the BEST!
Get one of the ciders! Black Thorn or Strongbow are fantastic.

VETERANS' HEALTH CARE and BENEFITS
1st Session, 111th Congress
before the
SENATE and HOUSE VETERANS' AFFAIRS COMMITTEES
March 12, 2009
Presented by
Colonel Robert F. Norton, USA (Ret.)
Deputy Director, Government Relations
CHAIRMAN AKAKA, CHAIRMAN FILNER AND DISTINGUISHED MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEES, on behalf of the 375,000 members of the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA), I am grateful for the opportunity to present testimony on MOAA's major legislative priorities for veterans' health care and benefits this year.
MOAA does not receive any grants or contracts from the federal government.
MOAA extends our sincere thanks to both the Committees for your leadership and steadfast commitment to our nation's veterans and their families. We are grateful to you for the significant resources you have championed in recent years.
Your critical support not only allows our veterans and their families to realize more fully the health care and benefits they've earned, but will also help the Department of Veterans Affairs to strengthen its reputation as a national leader in delivering high quality health care and advance medical technology and research.
MOAA is encouraged by Secretary Shinseki's commitment to Congress at a hearing before the House Committee on Veterans Affairs last month to be "a forceful advocate for veterans and [be] forthright and direct with Congress on what it takes to keep veterans at the focal point of VA activities."
We look forward to working with Secretary Shinseki and the Committees to make sure VA continues to lean forward and stay out in front of issues. We have a responsibility as a nation to make sure that the VA never again fall victim to budget cuts that negatively impact health care and benefits delivery to veterans.
FY 2010 Veterans Independent Budget (IB). The IB, authored by the AMVETS, Disabled American Veterans, Paralyzed Veterans of America, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars continues to be a valuable resource to Congress, providing an outside perspective of key issues impacting the VA. MOAA remains a strong proponent of the IB, joining the more than 60 veterans, military, medical, and disability organizations that endorse it.
Health Care Funding. MOAA is pleased to see VA's health care budget increase in Fiscal Year 2009 to $41 billion, a $4.1 billion over 2008. We are especially appreciative of Congress' timely enactment of the budget, ensuring necessary resources are in place during the transition of leadership in new Administration.
While VA has experienced significant growth in recent years, the process for securing this funding continues to present challenges. In 19 of the last 22 years, Congress has not approved funding for the VA health system until after the start of the fiscal year. As a consequence, veterans are often placed on long waiting lists for care, and approval of new facilities, staff and research programs is put on hold pending the final release of funds.
We contend that the VA health system needs a stable funding mechanism to ensure health care 'supply' is able to meet growing demand. Eight million of the nation's 25 million veterans are enrolled in the VA and another 800,000 Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) veterans are expected to enroll this year. Half of the veterans entering the system are National Guard and Reserve members. Currently 15 percent of veterans enrolled in VA are women, a population that is expected to double by 2020. It is noteworthy that the majority of female veterans enrolling are of child-bearing age. Clearly, VA must expand its capacity to care for a younger and more diverse population entering the system.
Further, the $375 million Congress appropriated last year to increase enrollment of Priority Group 8 (PG 8), non-disabled means-tested veterans, will bring an additional 265,000 veterans into the health care system beginning this year. The President's proposed FY 2010 budget is expected to expand PG 8 access even more, to 500,000.
MOAA joins with every major military and veterans service organization in strongly supporting passage of H.R. 1016 / S. 423, the Veterans Health Care Budget Reform and Transparency Act of 2009, to establish veterans' health care funding through the advance appropriations process.
We must recognize our veterans' sacrifice and provide them adequate, timely, agile, and properly funded health care. VA also must be sensitive to and adjust care to meet the unique and changing needs of all veterans, including underserved women and minority populations.
MOAA believes VA health care must:
Fee Hikes. The Committees have strongly opposed fee hikes for the last six years and MOAA thanks you for your support. The VA could become a target for future budget cuts or be seen as a possible funding source for other priorities because of recent plus-ups. However, we believe such proposals will negatively impact the VA's ability to sustain quality care and access to services.
MOAA urges the Committees to continue to oppose any initiatives that would reduce critical funding and resources, or levy higher usage and drug co-payment fees for VA services.
Since the 2007 Walter Reed Army Medical Center scandal, the problems encountered by wounded warriors and their families have been scrutinized by no fewer than 11 special task forces, commissions, and committees that have collectively offered more than 400 recommendations. Many of these recommendations have been adopted in law, or implemented through VA-DoD collaborative efforts-to improve health care and benefits for our wounded warriors and to help ease their transition from the military into the VA system and civilian community.
MOAA is grateful to Congress for keeping the pressure on VA-DoD to make progress toward seamless transition by improving continuity and quality of care and support to our most vulnerable population of veterans.
A critical issue that continues to stymie progress in achieving seamless transition outcomes for our service-disabled veterans' is the bureaucratic stove-piping in VA and DoD. While both departments are making significant strides in their efforts to cooperate and collaborate, neither is fully "in charge" and veterans suffer as a consequence. There is no permanent joint activity or office whose primary mission is to ensure the two Departments continue to work together in planning and executing the seamless transition strategy and exercising productive oversight over it.
In a June 12, 2008 report titled, "DoD/VA Care in the Transition Process for Service Members Injured in OIF/OEF," the VA-DoD Inspectors General recommended that, "The Under Secretary for Personnel and Readiness should create a DoD Office of Seamless Transition to coordinate the transition process between DoD and VA, and consolidate oversight elements of the transition process under DoD responsibility."
The Pentagon attempted to address GAO's concerns by issuing two directive-type memoranda as stop-gap measures. One directive establishes temporary leadership staff and policy to augment and support the operations of the Senior Oversight Committee's (SOC) -Secretary-level VA-DoD entity established to facilitate cooperation and collaboration between the two agencies. The second interim policy establishes a recovery coordination program aimed at improving care, management and transition services for the wounded. While we commend these initiatives during the transitional period, it is not clear to MOAA what the roles and functions of the SOC and the statutory Joint Executive Council (JEC) will be, in the short- and long-term, or what VA and DoD's collective, or individual plans are for institutionalizing the seamless transition process and policies.
Joint Transition Office. Congress extended the SOC only through Dec. 31, 2009. However, the 2009 NDAA requires the Departments to submit a report in June 2009 providing recommendations for continuing the operations of the SOC beyond this December, including any modifications to its responsibilities, composition, or support.
MOAA believes strongly it is of overriding importance to establish a permanent, single, Joint Seamless Transition or SOC Office, responsible for managing, implementing, monitoring and reporting to senior DoD, VA and congressional leaders on all aspects of the seamless transition process, including, but not limited to:
MOAA recommends the Committees support establishment of a permanent, single, joint DoD-VA Seamless Transition or SOC Office to coordinate, plan, execute, manage, and evaluate all seamless transition functions between and across the departments, including standardization of policies, procedures, processes, protocols, programs, and services supporting the needs of our wounded warriors and their families.
Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). VA and DoD face the daunting challenge of meeting a significant range of health care and rehabilitation needs for severely wounded service men and women. MOAA is especially concerned about the exponentially growing need for mental health, behavioral and cognitive rehabilitation treatment/therapy and support services generated by the current war.
In 2008, RAND's Center for Military Health Policy Research released a report, "Invisible Wounds of War: Psychological and Cognitive Injuries, Their Consequences, and Services to Assist Recovery."
The study revealed that about one in five OEF/OIF veterans of the approximately 1.64 million troops who deployed suffer from Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or major depression and another 10 percent experience some level of TBI. RAND estimates that PTSD and depression among servicemembers alone will cost the nation up to $6.2 billion in the first two years after deployment, but concludes that investing in the proper treatment and reducing barriers to prompt delivery of care, could save $2 billion by improving the capacity of members and families to return to productive work.
Specific RAND recommendations include:
Disability Claims: Emphasize Quality, Training Standards, and Technology Upgrades
In his recent appearances before the Committees, Secretary Shinseki also emphasized his commitment to improving the VA claims system.
As of October 3, 2008, there were 847,285 total claims in the VA system. This figure includes initial claims, claims on appeal, and educational benefits claims. The VA Budget request for the current fiscal year -- FY2009 --projected 872,000 claims working in the system this year. Increased workload, more complex claims, and insufficient and under-trained staff among other factors have caused annual claims receipts to grow by 45% from 2000 to 2007 -- from almost 579,000 to 838,000. MOAA appreciates that the Committees are greatly concerned over the problem and we applaud the increase in resources to address it, including creation of 2000 additional claims-worker positions for the current year.
An expanded workforce will help, but only in the context of a comprehensive, results-driven strategy on claims management, training upgrades, reduced manpower turnover at the entry level, IT support, and quality-control. The strategy should:
MOAA strongly supports continued investment in technology upgrades for the VA claims system, improved training and compensation for claims workers, and oversight hearings to assess progress in improving the fairness, reliability and responsiveness of the system.
MOAA is deeply appreciative of the enactment of the greatest GI Bill legislation since WWII, the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008. The "Webb-Warner GI Bill" incorporates major MOAA and Partnership for Veterans Education recommendations for the GI Bill.
That said, MOAA believes very strongly - as we stated in multiple hearings last year - that we must build a 21st century umbrella architecture for the various GI Bill programs, and repeal statutes that no longer properly support recruiting, reenlistment and readjustment outcomes as Congress intended. MOAA believes that the Committees need to adopt a short-term, mid-term and long-term approach to structuring a 21st century GI Bill
Short-Term: Ensure Implementation of Post-9/11 GI Bill on 1 August 2009
The Economic Subcommittee of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs held an oversight hearing on implementation of the new program on 26 February 2009. The VA appears to be making steady progress in completing the tasks essential to effective implementation of the new program. There are, however, a number of issues that remain to be addressed.
In meetings with representatives of the American Council on Education (ACE) and the VA, MOAA has learned that establishing the highest in-state cost for tuition and fees is a challenging task because college programs vary widely in structure and cost, and there are no standard definitions for "tuition" and "fees." It appears that preliminary estimates for payment caps in each state may not be reliable, though they are needed for program implementation.
MOAA suggests that final regulations for the Post-9/11 GI Bill include an assurance that the government will cover the cost of any public college undergraduate program -- all tuition and fees - , consistent with the statute, in cases where the state payment cap assigned by the VA does not meet a program's cost.
Under the new program, benefits are paid directly to a college on behalf of the enrolled veteran. At the 26 February hearing, a senior VA official stated that when a student-veteran withdraws from college the VA could seek recovery of any overpayment from the veteran. The VA would first ask the institution to refund the overpayment to the veteran. MOAA questions whether this proposed procedure is workable and fair.
MOAA recommends that the VA arrange to recover unexcused overpayments from a school since, unlike the Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB), payments are made directly to schools on behalf of a veteran.
MOAA also recommends clarifying the rules for the Yellow Ribbon provisions of the Post-9/11 GI Bill to encourage a large number of private colleges / universities to participate.
Finally, MOAA recommends that the Defense Department promptly issue regulations for the transfer provisions of the Post-9/11 GI Bill as we believe "transferability" of GI Bill benefits will have a positive impact on career retention in the active duty and reserve forces.
Mid-Term: Fix Glaring Inequities under GI Bill programs
In multiple hearings last year, MOAA recommended that "the Committees [should] 'de-conflict' the statutory authority for the MGIB in Chapter 30, 38 USC with the proposed new GI Bill for the 21st century," now enacted as the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008. "We [MOAA] believe desirable features in the MGIB should be incorporated into the proposed new Chapter 33, 38 USC, or vice versa. To maintain two GI Bill program authorities at the same time will undoubtedly cause confusion and be difficult to administer". Some MOAA concerns are outlined below.
We understand that DoD / Services plan to encourage new recruits to enroll in the MGIB to retain the option of using its wider array of benefits. But after hearing of the $1200 payroll reduction for the MGIB, many likely will decline it. That decision, though understandable, will deny new enlistees future access to vocational training, OJT or apprenticeship training since these programs are not covered by the Post-9/11 GI Bill. MOAA recommends repeal of the $1200 MGIB enrollment fee to give new recruits the greatest flexibility in accessing their future benefits. Ultimately, the MGIB itself should be phased out, as discussed below.
A second concern is that basic reserve MGIB rates have been left behind. Congress has not raised the rates under the Selected Reserve MGIB, other than through annual COLAs since 1999. Basic reserve benefits have plummeted to 25% of active duty rates against a historic benchmark of 47-48% with active duty rates. At a 48% rate ratio, MGIB Reserve rates would now be about $634 per month for full-time Guard-Reserve students instead of the current $329 per month. MOAA again recommends transferring Chapter 1606 to Title 38 to set the stage for future increases in these benefits to restore the historic relationship and provide better incentives for reserve component recruiting.
A third concern is that the Post-9/11 GI Bill has rendered the Reserve Educational Assistance Program (REAP) for activated reservists largely obsolete. Chapter 1607 should be repealed or phased out.
A fourth concern is that full-time online students - distance learners -- are ineligible for the new housing stipend. (Students who are enrolled in and attend classes full-time may take online coursework as part of their program and receive Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits, including the housing allowance.) MOAA recommends setting the housing allowance for full-time distance learners under the Post-9/11 GI Bill at the national average housing payment under the new program.
A fifth concern is that certain groups previously eligible for the MGIB and earlier GI Bill programs are locked out of the Post-9/11 GI Bill. US Public Health Service and NOAA Corps commissioned officers are not authorized the Post-9/11 GI Bill program, even though they have been authorized every GI Bill benefits program since World War II. Another group left behind is National Guard AGRs who serve active duty tours of two-years or more to organize, manage, train and equip the Guard under Title 32. These members earn MGIB benefits but are not eligible to convert to the Post-9/11 GI Bill; they should be. MOAA strongly recommends immediate eligibility for the Post-9/11 GI Bill for U.S. Public Health Service, NOAA Corps commissioned officers, and National Guard Title 32 AGRs.
Long-Term: In the 111th Session of Congress, Create a 21st Century GI Bill Architecture
A streamlined architecture for the GI Bill should be simple, transparent and equitable.
MOAA recommendations for a 21st GI Bill architecture:
1. Adopt Chapter 30 (MGIB) program eligibility rules for the Post-9/11 GI Bill. The MGIB and all previous GI Bill programs back to WWII authorized traditional post-secondary education benefits as well as technical, vocational, OJT training and flight training. MGIB program eligibility rules should be grafted into the Post-9/11 GI Bill to provide maximum flexibility for veterans and servicemembers.
2. Repeal the MGIB. When the MGIB was enacted in 1984, Congress authorized Vietnam-era GI Bill participants to convert to the new program if they met certain criteria. Similarly, the MGIB has been supplanted by the Post-9/11 GI Bill and should be repealed or phased out. Current MGIB participants should be grandfathered. This recommendation is bundled with #1: it assumes that program eligibility rules for the MGIB will be authorized for the Post-9/11 GI Bill in Chapter 33.
3. Repeal or phase out Chapter 1607, 10 USC. See pg. 9.
4. Restore basic reserve MGIB (Chapter 1606, 10 USC) rates to their historic ratio with the active duty GI Bill. See pg. 9.
The purpose of the Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment (VR&E) program (Chapter 31, 38 USC) is to enable veterans with service-connected disabilities to achieve maximum independence in daily living and, to the maximum extent feasible, to become meaningfully employed. VRE helps to equip disabled veterans to transition back into the workforce. While VRE focuses on employment, it is not designed to forecast the changes in the job market or the changing nature of a veteran's service-connected injuries.
The dynamic nature of OIF and OEF injuries and our nation's economic woes point to the need for restructuring the VRE program to support the employment, education and training needs of disabled veterans.
MOAA recommendations:
Raise DIC Monthly Rate. All Federal survivor benefits are set at 55% of the covered sponsor's annuity, including the military Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP). The VA Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) rate for survivors of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice should be set at 55% of the compensation paid to a 100% service-disabled veteran. MOAA supports establishing the annual DIC rate at 55% of the compensation rate for a 100% service-connected veteran.
Survivors and Dependents Educational Assistance (DEA) Program. Survivor and dependents educational benefits (Chapter 35, 38 USC) were not addressed under the Post-9/11 GI Bill legislation. Survivors whose sponsors lost their lives after September 11, 2001 have dearly earned any benefits available to them. DEA benefits should be upgraded with a retroactive effective date to September 11, 2001.
MOAA recommends:
Retain DIC on Remarriage at Age 55. Legislation was enacted in 2003 to allow eligible military survivors to retain DIC upon remarriage after age 57. At the time, Congressional staff advised that age-57 was selected only because there were insufficient funds to authorize age-55 retention of DIC upon remarriage. MOAA recommends authorization of age-55 for retention of DIC upon remarriage in order to bring this benefit in line with rules for the military SBP program and all other federal survivor benefit programs.
Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). At a Senate hearing before the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee in November 2007, the Defense Department released data on reservists' reemployment problems. The data demonstrate that tens of thousands of veterans returning home have faced the harsh reality that their service to our country has cost them the salary they deserve, their health care, and other benefits, and even their jobs. Among members of the National Guard and Reserves in late 2007:
More recently, a "Sixty Minutes" segment on CBS News, which aired on November 2, 2008, illustrated the rising frustration among some previously supportive employers over multiple call-ups of their employees.
Under "operational reserve" policies, reservists can expect to be on active duty for one year of every five years they serve in the Guard or Reserve. But the reality is otherwise: more than 194,000 Guard and Reserve members already have served multiple tours of active duty since October 7, 2001. Some are on their third rotation.
MOAA believes it's extremely important to periodically review and, if necessary, upgrade the USERRA to protect the rights of our nation's operational reservists. At the same time, we believe that Congress must balance a stronger USERRA statute with appropriate consideration for the needs of employers.
Senator Robert Casey (D-PA) has introduced S. 263, the Servicemembers Access to Justice Act of 2009, to strengthen USERRA protections for our nation's operational reserve warriors. A similar House bill is expected to be introduced shortly.
MOAA endorses S.263, the Servicemembers Access to Justice Act of 2009, and recommends that the Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs hold a hearing on the bill as soon as possible.
MOAA has long supported strengthening the role of the Office of Special Counsel (OSC) to protect the reemployment rights of Federal workers called to active duty in the armed forces. Accordingly, MOAA supports enactment of H.R. 1089, a bill that would require the OSC to enforce employment and reemployment rights of veterans of the Armed Forces employed by Federal agencies; and to permit covered individuals to file a complaint to the OSC.
MOAA also recommends that employer tax incentives for paying wage differentials for activated reservists be expanded and made permanent.
Servicembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) Improvements. Frequent and often unexpected Permanent Change of Station (PCS) moves can have serious consequences for military families' rights and economic well-being. Under current law, servicemembers' domicile rights are protected, but their spouses' are not. That often poses significant cumulative hassles for spouses over the course of multiple PCS moves.
Especially in this stressful time of deployments and economic challenges, MOAA thinks it's wrong to make military spouses get new drivers' licenses, re-register to vote, and contend with new state-tax impacts every time the military orders them to relocate.
MOAA supports passage of H.R. 1182 (Rep. Carter, R-TX) and S. 475 (Senator Richard Burr, R-NC), legislation that would amend the SCRA to allow military spouses the option to choose the same state of residence as their servicemember or retain residency in their previous state of domicile.
Specify a "right of private action" under the SCRA. The continuing activation and deployment of hundreds of thousands of service men and women has given rise to countless personal legal challenges, landlord-tenant, family, property and business matters governed by the SCRA.
In a recent case (Hurley v. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, et al), National Guard Sergeant James Hurley's house was foreclosed and his dependents were evicted from the property, and the property was sold to a third party during his deployment to Iraq. Sergeant Hurley sued in federal district court in Michigan seeking damages for violation of his rights under the SCRA. The federal court ruled, however, that there is no "right of private cause of action" to enforce violations of the SCRA. While the Hurley ruling is being appealed, corrective legislation would eliminate the necessity for costly and time-consuming litigation of this issue in SCRA cases.
This issue goes to fundamental access to justice for service men and women and their families, recognizing that SCRA protections in the statute are only as strong as the ability to bring violators to court.
The American Bar Association's Legal Assistance to Military Personnel (LAMP) Committee took up this issue and the ABA has passed a Resolution that recommends unambiguous authority for a Right of Private Action in the SCRA.
MOAA recommends that the Committees amend the SCRA to: authorize civil enforcement actions by the Attorney General of the United States in any Federal District Court; clarify that a Private Right of Action exists within the SCRA authorizing a covered servicemember or dependent to file suit, either independently or in conjunction with a Dept. of Justice action; and, provide that in such a case a plaintiff may recover damages or injunctive relief, and that a prevailing plaintiff may recover reasonable attorney's fees.
MOAA is grateful to the Members of the Committees for your leadership in supporting our veterans and their families who have "borne the battle" in defense of the nation.

I was trying to do a Celtic Knot letter N, but my ribbon just would not cooperate with me. I hope you GET it with this one, because I didn't actually use your initial. My 91 year old mother got it so I think you will too! Hope you like it. | ||||
Applebetty - no worries... I am in the same boat and will get yours mailed next week! | ||||

I received my mugrug today from Wiley. I am laughing so hard my cheeks hurt, my tummy muscles are strained. I'll probably wind up with hiccups. In between laughs I'm saying OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!!! Now, what could Wiley have done to bring so much humor into my day, into my mugrug? Up until the age of 10ish or there abouts, I was called 'Polly'. That being synonomus with the saying..."Want a cracker?" That being linked with a very particular creature on this G od's green earth. I hated the saying!!!! I hated the creature!!!! As only a child can. What does Wiley send me.....This message has been edited. Last edited by: paus4quilts, | ||||
The pictures don't do the fabric justice. The colors are very bright, vivid. Wonderful to look at. My machine is back and running so I should get yours done today and in the mail tomorrow. Thank you again, Wiley, I really do love it!!! BTW, a very nice first mug rug!!! The 'iniital' is outstanding; wish I'd have thought of that. | ||||

Great fabric the binding really enhances the colors, love it. Kayla "All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream" -Edgar Allan Poe- | ||||
Wiley, I am still grinning at it. lollll And still cannot believe it. My past has finally caught up with me. lolllllll | ||||
LOL! Never in a million years did I connect this with a "Polly Parrot". I only thought of "Pauline". None of my sewing friends did either, they just loved the fabric. | ||||
About six years or so ago, I opened an email from someone I had not seen or heard from/about in nigh onto 60 years. It opened up with.... "Hey, Polly, want a cracker?" Gawd!!!! If it had been a phone call, I'd have slammed the phone down. lolllll The fabric is beautiful, Wiley. So bright, a great addition to my household. | ||||
NoraJ23, you should have recieved your mugrug this week. Did you? Hope you like it! | ||||
Wiley, I can say, with a great deal of enthusiasm, your mug rug is on it's way....finally!!!!! | ||||

Boiron owner Michèle Boiron flew over from France in April to host a pair of lectures on the benefits of homeopathy. The brand is celebrating 30 years in the United States. In that time, Boiron has carved out a big niche with its Oscillococcinum flu treatment. DSN traveled to Philadelphia to meet with Boiron's owner and discuss how homeopathy is faring in the United States.
As of Jan. 1, asthma products like the Primatine Mist inhaler became no longer available at retail — leaving consumers with few asthma-care options in the OTC aisle. Drug Store News recently interviewed King Bio president Frank King, who is introducing a new nonprescription inhaler for asthmatics, formulated with homeopathic ingredients, called AsthmaCare under its Safecare banner of products.
GelStat Corp. on Wednesday announced that it has closed the acquisition of CBD Life Sciences.

Media Enterprises scored big with the introduction of the As Seen on TV product Tag Away into the mass market.
More than half of arthritis sufferers are in search of information on natural remedies, according to a recent 2013 National Arthritis Index, a survey of more than 4,500 people concerned about the condition.

Homeopathic analgesic manufacturer Vireo Systems released a study finding that seniors over the age of 75 were six times more likely to suffer side effects associated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Homeopathy is hopping. Sales of many of the homeopathy brands represent some of the fastest-growing products across the OTC landscape these days, as evidenced by the number of brands escalating on the top 10 lists across several categories.
A sick child leads to one certainty: parents in search of safe and effective symptom relievers that will allow their child — and subsequently, themselves — to get some rest.
STS Health announced the launch of its homeopathic cold and flu symptom reliever FluNada.
Zarbee's noted that more consumers have gravitated toward natural solutions over allopathic medicines, at least through the end of December, citing Nielsen scan data.

Rocasuba on Wednesday launched a homeopathic energy-booster utilizing a unique patch delivery system. Providing up to five hours of energy, the product delivers homeopathic ingredients, including naturally derived caffeine, tea extract and zinc.

Since that time, the tax credit has spurred innovation, thereby strengthening U.S. competitiveness and creating high-tech jobs domestically. »Read more

What it feels like to be an intern: "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has this to say on the subject of flying: There is an art, it says, or rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. Pick a nice day, it suggests, and try it. The first part is easy. All it requires is simply the ability to throw yourself forward with all your weight, and willingness not to mind that it's going to hurt. That is, it's going to hurt if you fail to miss the ground. Most people fail to miss the ground, and if they are really trying properly, the likelihood is that they will fail to miss it fairly hard." - Douglas Adams, 'The Hitch-Hikers Guide To The Galaxy'

Sandy leaves passengers stranded in southwest Florida
Julie Salomone
Photo: Video by fox4now.com
FORT MYERS, Fla.- Sandy is having an impact on travel. Runways at LaGuardia Airport in New York are Flooded. The airport is closed and here in Southwest Florida more than 45 flights are cancelled at RSW because of Sandy.
Steve Hamilton might be stranded in Southwest Florida. His connecting flight headed to the Northeast has him worried.
"I'm hoping that the connection from Atlanta to Baltimore will be working here. I rather be here than Atlanta," said Hamilton.
Superstorm Sandy has stopped planes and stranded on passengers. At Southwest Florida International Airport, 153 flights were originally scheduled for Tuesday. Now nearly a third of them(46 flights) have been cancelled. Steve wants to get home to his wife in Baltimore.
"I feel kind of guilty because I left my wife to tend to the house alone and she's without power," said Hamilton.
RSW officials tell me flights to airports like LaGuardia, JFK, and Atlantic City have all been cancelled. Bill Sheehan is waiting for his son who decided days ago. He'd take an alternate route to get to Florida from New York.
"He left New York a couple days ago went to Raleigh went form Raleigh to Charlotte now coming in from Charlotte," said Bill Sheehan.
Bill's son is from Manhattan, one of the hardest hit areas. New York City's subway is shut down and the city is virtually cut off by rail, road and air.
Fox 4 caught up with Jim Walter at RSW. He was printing his boarding pass and keeping his fingers crossed he'd fly out on Wednesday.
"I'm anxious to get back to Philadelphia to check on our summer place in New Jersey," said Walter.
RSW officials say travelers should contact their carrier for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

Kangoku izakaya: a dinner in prison
Have you been a bad boy or bad girl lately? Well, maybe you should turn yourself in for your heinous crimes at a kangoku izakaya.
Kangoku (監獄) means prison, and izakaya (居酒屋) is a Japanese style drinking restaurant. So a kangoku izakaya is a Japanese restaurant/bar that has been styled to look like a prison! And if the thought of vicious felons and dirty prison cells doesn't whet your appetite, I don't know what will.
Do you know these Japanese words?
These are the latest additions to the Nihonshock Vocabulary Bank Want to see all the words?
だいごみ [daigomi] – This word refers to the most interesting/pleasurable/thrilling thing in some category. The word 醍醐 comes from…
[Read More]べつばら [betsubara] is your "separate stomach." Specifically, it's the (imaginary) one where you always seem to have room for dessert even after a big dinner.
[Read More]Flavor Success: Chocolate Soda
Seriously, Japan. WTF? "Chocolate Sparkling" from Suntory.
Do you take some sort of sick pleasure in forcing me to drink these ridiculous concoctions!?!?!? Curse you, curse yo….. wait… This is… actually not half bad.
Flavor Fail: Chocolate Beer
I'm a Sapporo beer fan. I prefer their brews to Asahi and Kirin, and generally rave about their special releases. So when I saw this on the shelf at my local convenience store, I approached it with an open mind. I like chocolate, I like beer, I like Sapporo. Therefore, I like this, right? right…?
Outlandish Japanese flavors: Azuki (sweet bean) Pepsi
Not long ago you could find matcha (powdered green tea) flavored coca cola at convenience stores around Japan. Thankfully that scourge seems to have passed, but the age old rivalry between Pepsi and Coke wages on, and Pepsi has fired back with… sweet bean flavor? all…. right….

Nancy GuthrieGod has given Nancy Guthrie a love for Him and for His Word. She is a Bible teacher, speaker and author. Nancy and her husband, David, have faced the deaths of two of their three children: a daughter, Hope, in 1999, and a son, Gabriel, in 2001, both of whom were born with a rare genetic disorder called Zellweger Syndrome. Nancy offered many of the lessons she learned from this sorrowful experience in her 2002 book Holding On to Hope: A Pathway of Suffering to the Heart of God. Nancy continues to write books that reflect her compassion for hurting people and her passion for applying God's Word to real life. Her desire to grow in her understanding of God's Word has prompted her to begin graduate work in theological studies at Covenant Theological Seminary. She speaks regularly at women's retreats and evangelistic events nationally and internationally, and is a regular contributor to The Gospel Coalition.
Nancy and her husband, David, and son, Matt, make their home in Nashville, Tenn., where, according to Nancy, life is less about professional pursuits than about the ordinary aspects of being a wife, mother, friend and follower of Jesus, with clothes to wash, e-mails to answer and a friend to listen to.

"Good! Very dark chocolate-y. My tops crumbled a bit when cutting. Also, I cut these into literal finger-sized pieces, but only got approximately 40 pieces."
"Well, they taste good. I thought they would look pretty, too- but it is such a crumbly shortbread that by the time I put them on cookie trays they will be falling apart. And this was after the dough got a little crumbly (2 1/4 cups flour would be better), so I added a little of the egg white. The dough was then easy to handle. In the glaze, I adde..."
"I wish I could give this more stars!! This is so delicious; I halve the recipe for the 2 of us, but I may make it again in a few days- it's that good! Instead of cole slaw mix I used half a shredded Chinese cabbage, shredded carrot, and some sliced radishes that needed to be used. Mmm-mmm! I like the Oriental ramen flavor. One bad thing- aft..."
"I can now say I like cabbage 2 ways- cole slaw and frizzled!! I made pretty much as directed, and we loved it! Served on the side of pork bbq. It didn't need 20 mins. on the stove- 10-15 is plenty. I added some carrot ribbons, for color. I think the 2 of us could eat twice this amount, no problem! I love how the cabbage gets sweet..."
"Delicious; standard peanut butter cookie recipe. I tripled the recipe, partly because I wanted good size cookies but I wanted more than a dozen! I use my larger 1 1/2" cookie scoop- the baked cookies are a little over 3" across, and I got over 6 dozen. I had oven temp at 360; take them out when just barely brown on the edges for a chewy ..."
"Very good! I made half the recipe, and it definitely was 2 meals for hubby and me. I agree that there is not enough liquid. I added 3 more cups beef broth at the end. Before I did that, the flavor was excellent but it was stew. Adding liquid gave the right consistency, but I lost a little flavor. I will make this again, with a little experimentati..."
"Great pie; we both loved it! I enjoyed the unusual cake-y top layer, and was thrilled that it separated into 2 distinct layers just like the photos. I baked at 365 (unable to commit to 350 or 375!) for about 55 mins, lightly covered for first 15 mins and then again for last 10 mins. (If you cover it while the filling rises and sets, it will stick ..."
"We LOVED this, breakfast-for-dinner! I made half a recipe for two of us, and this was the main dish, with fruit on the side. The half recipe would have fed 3 people, I think. Although I realized I didn't have 6 eggs- made it with 4. Was still delicious. I baked it for longer than specified, and even so the peppers and onions were crisp-tender..."
"Great recipe! I made as directed, and even my husband loved them! They are not sweet at all, but pancake syrup is sooo sweet that we didn't mind this.

In Clearwater, insurance fraud is as common as anywhere else in the United States. If you've been involved in a car accident, you might be approached by a fraudulent car accident attorney with a doctor accompanying him or her. Choosing qualified and reputable professionals — including doctors as well as lawyers — is very important when going forward with an accident case.
After an accident in Clearwater, how do you go about choosing your doctor and attorney? You may choose a medical professional through a referral from your family physician, but selecting a personal injury lawyer in Clearwater should be based on the attorney's experience in that particular area of law and recognition by peers.
Warning signs your attorney and doctor may be committing fraud:
- When the lawyer or doctor encourages excessive diagnostic treatment, telling you that everything will be covered by the insurance company.
- When the lawyer is overly involved in setting up various diagnostic tests.
- When the doctor does not share any or very little information on the diagnostic tests.
- When invoices are sent to the attorney instead of the patient.
- When focus is too much on an area where you have no or very few symptoms.
If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident caused by the negligence of another person, make sure you choose the right doctor and lawyer team, who are well-versed in injury laws in the United States, to receive the compensation you deserve.

Health, wellness and longevity are of utmost concern to Better Bodies. We focus on adults who will invest the time and money to make changes in their lives. We also feel that anyone who wants to join a gym shouldn't have to feel intimidated. Even after nearly a decade we are still surprised by the number of people who tell us they want to get in shape before they join a gym. At Better Bodies everybody fits in because we only attract adults who are looking for fitness more than a fashion show. We work with real life adults who have kids, who work long hours and who's bodies have changed over time. Better Bodies is a facility filled with people just like you who want to workout in an adult environment and who need a lot of help and guidance to get started and stay in the program.
We differ from most gyms in that we offer support for any sport or activity you enjoy or would like to enjoy in your life. If you want to get into shape for golf, our trainers will increase your coordination, stability, flexibility, speed and strength. If you need to lose 50 pounds we have a proprietary nutritional program that will rejuvenate you from the inside out. If your having problems walking up a flight of stairs we will increase your functionality by improving your core strength, endurance strength, joint strength, balance, flexibility and endurance. The bottom line is that we will help you live a longer, healthier and happier life.
Of course, we excel at the traditional aspects of fitness such as group exercise, a cardio entertainment system, and a facility designed for an upscale population that expects a quality experience. We are proud of our clubs and would like everyone in the area to give us a try. We feel we are the best and would like to prove it by allowing you to try our gym before you consider becoming a member. Our policy is simple: try us with no risk or obligation. Let us set you up on a program, meet our staff and members, see how we service our members and then make up your mind. If we don't earn your business, then we do not deserve to have you as a member.
You may also find our clubs are not for everyone. We may be more expensive than most, however we strongly believe you get what you pay for. If you appreciate the finer things in life and are looking for an alternative to the big box gym, then we are for you. We are superior and we are worth it and would like the opportunity to prove it to you by letting you try before you buy.
Stop by and meet our team to see what makes Better Bodies the best experience around…

Herewith brief translation summary of the recent issue of Das Motorrad, with the newest photos and Motorrad's conceptual sketches of the new machine. offered by Kari Prager. This is speculation and is not an official press release from BMW Motorrad.
MOTORRAD, Volume 22, October 10th 2003
The unveiling!
BMW is building a completely new four-cylinder machine, new not only for BMW but for the entire motorcycle industry. Motorrad has the world's exclusive unveiling of the new technology in the BMW of the future.
BMW always can be counted on for surprises! While the motorcycle industry let their single cylinder models languish, BMW launched the F 650 series with great success. And while all the other manufacturers struggled with the shortcomings of the telescopic fork, BMW led the way with an entirely new approach to front suspension, the Telelever, whose compelling advantages forced the other chassis engineers to sit up and take notice. BMW convinced its customers of the value of ABS, three-way catalytic converters, and shaft drive with the shaft reaction eliminated, while the ompetition offered "Faster, Stronger, Lighter", over and over again. Thus it has been until today, and after today all will be different! The new K BMW displays not only sensational technology, it will also be "Faster, Stronger, Lighter". Much, much stronger and faster than its BMW predecessors.
The concept
The new K advances to the rank of powerful sport tourers in the class of a HondaCBR 1100 XX or even a Suzuki GSX 1300 R Hayabusa. The motor, mounted perpendicular to the direction of travel, like most Japanese bikes, is conceived to have a displacement range of 1000 to 1300 cc., and the Bavarian sport tourer will probably launch with 1200 or 1300. A solid 160 to 170 horsepower output should satisfy the most power-mad enthusiast. Blessed with a 285 km/h top speedand explosive torque, the new BMW needs to bow its head to noone. Very important: The bike is shaft-driven. In spite of this, the weight, tanked up and ready to go, will be under 250 Kg, and this is with the centerstand. Typical BMW: The fairing, developed in the wind tunnel, will offer optimal wind protection. Rider and passenger will be competely comfortable. A four-into-one exhaust system on the right side sounds a sporty note. In regards to safety and environment, a new ABS system and the most modern catalytic technology roundout the BMW program. Naturally this sport tourer is only the beginning of a new model series. Anything is possible, all the way to a spectacular naked-bike!
Revolutionary Chassis
The world has never seen anything like this in the world of mass production! BMW has demonstrated that the Telelever was just the first step in a new technology. Now the engineers are taking the next step with an integrated package of double A-Arm front suspension, single-sided swingarm rear suspension, and a flat-sided, practically horizontal frame (literally Bridge-frame). This allows for a low overall height and low center of mass, a much shorter wheelbase in comparison to the current K, and a stiffer suspension for the front wheel. The rear wheel suspension is finally equipped with a rising-rate linkage. The front wheel suspension sets new measures... Two triangular suspension arms support a fork, whose form is ideally suited to resist the bending forces that tend to deflect it. The two ball-joints, which tie the fork to the suspension arms, (A-arms) create the steering axis. The two steering head bearings, which tie the steering head to the fork, define the steering head axis. a scissors-link, with two triangular a-arms linked at their common end, serves to transmit the steering inputs to the fork itself. It moves with the suspension movements of the front wheel. A coil-over shock unit supports the lower suspension A-arm at the bottom and is anchored to the frame at the top. What advantages does this system, invented by the Englishman Norman Hossack in the '80s, offer us today? In comparison to a contemporary telescopic fork it allows a more compact frame structure, lacking a conventional steering head through which immense bending forces act on the frame through the "lever" of the tele-fork. A substructure carries only the bearing supports for the handlebar, while the two A-arms guide the forces acting on the front end directly into the chassis. A further advantage: better responsiveness of the front wheel on small bumps, since the friction between fork tube and slider common to all tele-forks is absent. Also important: The elimination of front end dive under braking makes for the optimal use of the ABS, and thedesign offers nearly constant geometry of the chassis throughout the entire range of suspension travel. In conclusion, the two-armed front wheel support offers yet another advantage over the Telelever. The Telelever, by all accounts, suffers from a significant disadvantage. As the suspension extends, trail is reduced and the steering head angle steepens, which can lead to instability at high speeds. No problem for Boxers and Tourers (...not fast enough...KP) but for a superfast machine definitely problematic. The new single-sided rear swingarm connects itself through a progressive rising-rate linkage to the frame. The compact motor, with the transmission shafts stacked one atop the other, has made enough room for this system. The torque of the driveshaft is resisted now by a link above the swingarm/driveshaft housing. As with the recently revealed R 1200 GS the pivot point of the final drive on the driveshaft housing lies under the driveshaft's path, which is quite unusual.
The New Four Cylinder
Finally the BMW motor wizards are permitted to break with tradition! Now our Bavarian colleagues are installing a four cylinder engine across the frame, and integrating the transmission into the crankcase housing. This architecture produces a shorter and lighter motor. And in order to maintain as low an overall height as possible, the cylinders are leaning forward at a 60 degree angle. the extremely short-stroke four cylinder motor spins to 11,500 rpms in its 1200cc version, which leads us to conclude that the power output will be from 160 to 170 PS. A ram-air system provides fresh intake air to the huge airfilter/airbox, which will provide a small pressure boost to the intake air at very high speeds. A new fuel injection/engine management system controls the motor, naturally with three-way cat and secondary air injection as well.
nearly constant.
The camshaft drive is most interesting. A timing chain drives the exhaust cam on the right side of the engine, while straight-cut timing gears set the intake cam spinning. Valve actuation is done by a sort of rocker arm. The crankshaft, with the right crankshaft webused as the primary gear, turns forwards, and drives the transmission input shaft together with the clutch. Daigonally underneath, near the swingarm axis, is the transmission output shaft, so that the driveshaft, with two universal joints, can operate with very little shaft reaction. The alternator and the starter are also on top of the transmission, keeping the whole motor very narrow. The new K-BMW represents a real technology offensive. Therefore she should not, perhaps, still be called a "K". The new name remains to this time still a secret.
