Key West Golf Club villa description
Poolside Retreat is a private two-story villa nestled in the lush tropical landscaping that surrounds the gorgeous resort-style private pool in the Key West Country Club. Your back yard gate will be just steps from the pool's edge. The neighborhood is a quiet oasis that will provide some respite from the madcap activities just minutes away in Old Town.
On the first floor, the modern kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might need to prepare the most elaborate meal. The living room and dining area are airy and comfortable, with plenty of windows.The large sofa converts to a queen size bed, for additional guests. Large sliding glass doors in the living room open directly to an over-sized porch, perfect for outdoor entertaining year round. There is also a powder room on the first floor.
On the second floor, there are two master bedroom suites. Each suite has a private full bath and a private porch. The first suite has a king bed that can be converted to two twins. The second suite has a queen bed. There are also extra windows for plenty of natural light and large closets for ample storage.
Just outside your back door, you'll find the very large resort-style heated swimming pool with waterfall, complete with lounge chairs in a beautifully landscaped cabana pool garden area. You can rinse off in the outdoor showers. There are also restrooms and a fully equipped fitness room in the clubhouse just a few steps away.
The gated community at the Key West Golf Club is about much more than golf. It is a haven for residents and vacation guests alike who want the peace and quiet of a gated community combined with the convenience of a location very close to everything Key West has to offer. There is 24-hour security, two resort-style community swimming pools and plenty of parking. Just a short bike ride from Old Town and the beaches, the Key West Golf Club offers the best of both worlds: you will be very close to all of Key West's many attractions but you can go home to the privacy and solitude of Key West's nicest gated community.
There is an overhead fan in every room, upstairs and downstairs. There are three televisions, one in the living room and one in each of the master suites. Washer and dryer are on the second floor. Digital cable, wireless high speed Internet and free long distance telephone service (to Europe, too) are included with your rental. Outside, the tropical landscaping has been carefully designed to provide great views while still maintaining your privacy.

Our stay at Poolside Retreat was fabulous! Fresh, clean, beautiful decor and only steps away from the pool. The listing description was accurate, the listing photos accurately reflected the rental's appearance and amenities, and I would highly recommend the unit to anyone wanting a relaxing "home away from home" by the pool. I'm already planning our return there next year.Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, romantic getaway, age 55+.

We stayed in "Poolside Retreat" for 2 months this winter (2009) and we are will keep coming back. It is in a perfect location right on the pool. The home is supplied with everything you need to feel like you are at home. This is our 4th year renting from the owners and we plan to continue for many more.Did you find this review helpful?

We had the pleasure of staying at this lovely condo for 6 months. The place was immaculate, beautifully and comfortably furnished. Best of all, it has 4 porches, 2 in the front and 2 in the back of the property. We spent long relaxing hours on the back porch off the master bedroom, reading & drinking wine, just lost in the lush treetop surroundings. Best of all, it's adjacent to the pool; it's really like having a pool in your own backyard! The beautiful tropical landscaping surrounding the pool is quite spectacular and all of our guests were quite impressed with it's "high class" resort feel. In fact, the entire golf club complex is beautifully maintained and a pleasure to just drive or walk through. What made our stay that much more special were the Santrys, their goal is to accommodate their tenants and to make their vacation rental experience the best it can be. They did not disappoint, just a very wonderful couple. I would recommend their properties to all of my family and friends.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Growth of Governmental Regulatory Oversight
Please Help Keep Colorado Contractors Safe - Call 8-1-1
Each year in Colorado, a number of accidents involving contact with high voltage power lines occur, often resulting in serious injury or death. In an effort to prevent these types of accidents, the Colorado legislature has enacted laws designed to provide safer working conditions in areas around high voltage power lines.
Colorado has created the Utility Notification Centers of Colorado (UNCC) as a nonprofit corporation that consists of all owners and/or operators of underground and overhead facilities. All such owners and operators are required by law to join the notification association and utilizes the single toll-free telephone number(s) that excavators can use to call the UNCC of pending excavation plans.
Tell your contractors to call 8-1-1 before they excavate or work near overhead power lines.
Establishing Procedures for the Protection of Underground Facilities from Damage Caused by Excavation Work
Article 1.5 Excavation Requirements
9-1.5-103. Plans and specifications - notice of excavation - duties of excavators - duties of owners and operators
Architects, engineers, or other persons designing excavation shall obtain general information as to the description, nature, and location of underground facilities in the area of such proposed excavation and include such general information in the plans or specifications to inform an excavation contractor of the existence of such facilities and of the need to obtain information thereon pursuant to subsection (3) of this section.
Except in emergency situations and except as to an employee with respect to the employer's underground facilities or as otherwise provided in an agreement with an owner or operator, no person shall make or begin excavation without first notifying the notification association and, if necessary, the tier two members having underground facilities in the area of such excavation. Notice may be given in person, by telephone, or in writing if delivered.
Article 2.5 High Voltage Power Lines - Safety Requirements
9-2.5-102. Activity near overhead line - safety restrictions
Unless danger against contact with high voltage overhead lines has been effectively guarded against as provided by section
, a person or business entity shall not, individually or through an agent or employee, perform or require any other person to perform any function or activity upon any land, building, highway, or other premises if at any time during the performance of any function or activity it could reasonably be expected that the person performing the function or activity could move or be placed within ten feet of any high voltage overhead line or that any equipment, part of any tool, or material used by the person could be brought within ten feet of any high voltage overhead line during the performance of any function or activity.
Growth of Government
The document below shows the increase in or growth of governmental regulatory oversight in terms of the annual number of pages in the Federal Register; governmental regulatory administrative costs and; increased staffing to oversee the regulations. While the regulatory burden is substantial, the last two pages indicate that is also a positive result in terms of fewer accidents.
Annual Pages Published in the Federal Register
The size of the Code of Federal Regulations – the official U.S. Government publication of final regulations which now occupies over twenty feet of shelf space (Code) – provides a sense of the magnitude of the stock of existing regulations with which U.S. businesses, workers, and consumers must comply.
The number of pages in the Federal Register provides a sense of the flow of new regulations issued during a given period and suggests how the regulatory burden will grow as Americans try to comply with the new mandates. In 2004, the federal government printed 78, 851 pages of rules and announcements. At four minutes per page, that would require 2.5 people reading eight hours per day for a year just to keep up with the new rules and pronouncements.

Otis June 13, 2005, Mercatus Center, George Mason University Derived for the Budget of the United States Government, Federal Register , and related documents, various fiscal years.
Administrative Cost of Regulation
Social regulations include regulatory activities that address issues related to health, safety, and the environment. The Environmental Protection Agency, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Food and Drug Administration, and the National Transportation Safety Board are examples of agencies that administer social regulations.
Economic regulations tend to be industry-specific. The Securities and Exchange Commission, The Federal Communications Commission, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission are examples of agencies that fall into the economic regulation category.
The largest projected increase among the social regulation subcategories (both in dollar and percentage terms) is for homeland security; the President's 2006 budget requests a real 4.6 % increase in outlays for regulatory activities within the Department of Homeland Security. The Department of Homeland Security is budgeted to receive an additional $1.1 billion in regulatory funding over last year. DHS's budget for administering regulation is the largest of any agency at $18 billion.

Staffing of Federal Regulatory Agencies
Staffing at federal regulatory agencies in 2006 is expected to reach an all-time high of 242,376, The number of federal employees responsible for regulating private sector activities is over four times what it was in 1960.
By all measures, Governmental regulation of public and private entities is significant and growing, and affects virtually all aspects of our lives.

Incidence rates for occupational injury and illness cases in private industry, 1973 - 2003
One factor contributing to the decline in overall injury and illness incidence rates is the shift in hours worked from a sector with a high rate of injuries (manufacturing) to other sectors with lower rates of injury.
Manufacturing hours decreased from 35% of all hours worked in 1973 to 17% of all hours worked in 1997.
In all years, the rates would be higher if the number of manufacturing hours worked was as high as in 1973. However, the decrease over time is still apparent, suggesting that the shift away from work in manufacturing does not account completely for the decrease in injury and illness incidence rates.

Fatalities in Crashes Involving Large Trucks and Passenger Vehicles per 100 Million Vehicle Miles Traveled, 1975 - 2003
A large truck is defined as a truck with a (GVWR) greater than 10,000 pounds. A passenger vehicle is defined as a car or light truck (including pickups, vans, and SUV's).
Over the past 20 years there has been a 44% increase in registered large trucks and an 86% increase in large truck miles traveled.
Over the same time period, the number of large trucks involved in fatal crashes each year has declined by 4%, and the vehicle involvement rate for large trucks in fatal crashes has declined by 51%.
Over the past 10 years there has been a 30% increase in registered large trucks and a 35% increase in miles traveled by large trucks.
The number of large trucks involved in injury crashes each year has decreased by 8% over the past 10 years, and the vehicle involvement rate for large trucks in injury crashes has declined by 32%. Alcohol Involvement (BAC of 0.01 g/dl or more) for large truck drivers in fatal crashes has declined by 77% since 1982, the first year of FARS data for alcohol involvement in fatal crashes.

About MD Programme
Migration & Development (MD) Programme
The Migration and Development (M&D) Programme focuses on the economic and development issues in relation to migration.
Addressing the Root Causes of Labour Migration
The M&D Programme spearheads AMC's analysis, response and strategies on development issues as these relate to labour migration. AMC has strong partnerships with social movements in Asia and globally in the advocacy to build people-centered, sustainable, gender-fair, rights-based and empowering development paradigms. AMC is part of the regional and global movements against neo-liberal development paradigms. AMC believes that this model is one of the root causes of modern-day mass labour migration which is exploitative and premised on the commodification of migrants, women and workers as cheaper, vulnerable labour.
The Migrant Forum in Asia (MFA), of which AMC is a member, spearheads the advocacy in Asia for the promotion of the "right to development" principles as embodied by the 1986 United Nations Right to Development Declaration. Therefore, AMC is one of the key groups in MFA that helps in the formulation of joint analysis, positions, proposals and policy/advocacy agendas on migration and development.
Global Forum on Migration & Development
AMC and MFA have spearheaded Asian migrants' engagement with the inter-governmental "Global Forum on Migration and Development" (GFMD). AMC joined MFA and partners since 2006 in the migrants' and civil society campaigns to ensure the right to development perspective in the GFMD.
Building Concrete Development Alternatives: The MSAI Strategy
In terms of helping develop people-centered economic development strategies, AMC pioneered since the mid-1990s the "Migrant Savings for Alternative Investments" (MSAI) strategy. The MSAI strategy recognises the enormous economic potential of migrant labor, and fights to transform this into actual social power to be harnessed for just and people-centered development.
The MSAI strategy is implemented by AMC and MFA partners across Asia, through savings mobilisation and social enterprise projects involving migrants and their families, and communities back in the home countries. These MSAI projects (e.g. Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, Philippines, Indonesia, Bangladesh, etc.) help migrants prepare economically for their opportune return and reintegration back home. These projects help develop the capacity of migrants and their families to build, mobilize and wisely use their savings, and to assist migrants and their families to make alternative investments in social enterprises in their home countries, not only as an additional source of livelihood but also to contribute to community and national development. By mobilizing their huge economic potential and creating viable, productive enterprises in their home countries, migrants and their communities are able to regain control of economic production and to generate social value-added products, services, jobs and income for local members of the community.
The MSAI strategy has several guiding principles. Investments should be economically viable and profitable; they should promote human rights, social justice, gender equality, and ecological sustainability; they should work to change the roles of migrants and women towards more equality; and they should contribute towards basic social change, just development and nation building.
The MSAI strategy employs several operational components to channel migrants and their economic power towards reintegration and economic development:
- Mobilization of migrant savings in the host countries, especially group savings;
- Building of social enterprises back in the home countries;
- Facilitation, guidance and capacity-building by NGO partners and advocates; and
- Intermediation and support by governmental, inter-governmental, private and development agencies on technical, infrastructure, logistical, legal/policy and related needs.
MSAI provides interventions at all stages of migration. At the pre-departure stage, MSAI conducts education and training on work-related skills and migrants' rights, as well as on the risks and realities of migration in the various host countries. MSAI also provides awareness raising activities regarding the issues migrants may face upon their return and reintegration. While onsite in the host countries, MSAI engages in organizing savings groups and unionization. The MSAI program also works to ensure migrants understand development issues. The return and reintegration stage is particularly emphasized in the MSAI program. Migrants focus on enterprise development and community organizing, and continue to form and strengthen networks with governments, organizations and communities. The program also provides ongoing advocacy and training, educating migrants' families and communities on a wide range of issues, especially in regard to economic and development issues and needs.
Since 1998, several MSAI savings projects and pilot social enterprises. Migrant savings schemes were established in the host countries (Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Macau, Malaysia, Japan); migrants' pilot social enterprises were initiated in the home countries (Philippines, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Thailand). Many of the projects and savings groups continue to the present, but some have stopped after the migrants have gone back home or due to other dififculties. The enterprises are mainly agriculture-based, producing organically grown livestock and crops.
MSAI partners are currently building linkages with other microfinance, savings, cooperative, social enterprise, and community development groups in specific countries in Asia, in order to broaden and rpelicate the strategy.
MSAI savings continue to grow as migrants save more and as greater numbers of savers take part in the program. Migrants and advocates are now in the position to more effectively engage with national policy-makers and expand the multi-stakeholder character of the program.

Federal prosecutors in New York have reached what they're calling a historic settlement of a criminal insider-trading indictment with hedge-fund group SAC Capital Advisors LP.
Under the proposed deal released Monday, SAC, run by star manager Steven A. Cohen, would pay nearly $1.2 billion in criminal penalties to federal prosecutors, in addition to $616 million that it paid under an earlier civil settlement agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
- 1:08 pm (EST)
- "Steep but Fair"
- Ashby Jones
The deal still needs to be approved by a judge. In his filing, Bharara called the proposed penalties "steep but fair" and "commensurate with the breadth and duration of the charged criminal conduct."

Oakland Raiders vs. Denver Broncos: NFL Week 4 Live Score, Video and Analysis
Raiders Are Just What the Broncos Needed
Following two straight losses, and three weeks of the Denver defense looking overwhelmed, the Broncos will feel better after today's game.
Denver stormed past the Raiders on Sunday in Sports Authority Field at Mile High Stadium in a game that showed what this team is capable of when they have a good start.
Denver started strong, scoring on its first two possessions but then seemed to stop themselves for the remainder of the first half.
Denver managed to lead at halftime 10-6.
But it was all Broncos in the second half.
The Broncos scored three touchdowns in the third quarter to blow this game open and they never looked back.
Peyton Manning went 30/38 for 338 and three touchdowns.
Willis McGahee ran the ball 19 times for 112 yards and a touchdown.
Yet for all of the offensive fireworks the Denver defense may have been the biggest key.
Keep in mind that Oakland had won the previous four games in Denver.
Also keep in mind that Raider running backs had carried the ball for 150, 165, 133, and 107 yards in those four games.
The Denver defense was having none of that today. They held Raider running back Darren McFadden to just 34 yards on 13 carries.
They also gave Raider quarterback Carson Palmer a reason to stay in bed on Monday.
Palmer managed to go 19/34 for 202 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions. And while Palmer was only sacked three times; it was the hurries and the hits that will have him feeling blue in the morning.
After allowing 58 point in the past two weeks the Broncos held the Raiders to just six points and a fourth quarter comeback was not needed for a change.
The one negative for Denver is the loss of starting center JD Walton who left with what appeared to be an ankle injury and never returned.
Raiders 6 Broncos 37
:27 4th Quarter
Facing 4th and 18 the Raiders take a timeout on the Denver 26 yard line.
I think they are just hoping to end this game on a positive note today.
The Raiders will come up short on 4th down and that is going to do it here in Denver.
Raiders 6 Broncos 37
Following today's game the standings in the AFC West will be as follows:
San Diego 3-1
Denver 2-2
Oakland 1-3
Kansas City 1-3
1:55 4th Quarter
Two minute warning in Denver. The Raiders offense is trying to put together a scoring drive, They are currently at the Denver 45 yard line.
Willis McGahee has 100 yds on the ground for the 32nd time in his career (most among active backs). #Broncos 34, #Raiders 6.

11:00 4th Quarter
Denver's offense takes over on their own 24 yard line and will most likely look to work this clock.
11:48 4th Quarter
Raiders' quarterback Carson Palmer is taking a beating today.
He has really been taking some shots from the Denver defense.
Meanwhile Peyton Manning has barely been touched all day.
Today is the first time the #Broncos have had a 300-yard passer and 100-yard rusher since 11/30/08 (Cutler and Hillis).

End of the 3rd Quarter
While the Broncos defense has held Darren McFadden in check for most of the day, the Raiders are struggling with Willis McGahee.
McGahee now has 16 carries for 100 yards and a touchdown on the day.
Hope this is nothing serious.

Word from the stadium is that he is sitting on the bench but not being looked at.
Another three and out by the Oakland offense.
Lechler to punt again and now you have to give the ball back to the Denver offense that is red hot right now.

This Raider team may be giving up.
Raiders 6 Broncos 31
The Oakland Raiders have beat the Broncos here in Denver over the past four seasons.
That may be coming to an end today and the biggest key has been the Broncos defense stopping the Raider running game.
Darren McFadden has 13 carries for just 34 yards today.
6:53 3rd Quarter
Big stop by the Denver defense on 3rd and short with linebacker Von Miller leading the charge. Denver drops McFadden for a two yard loss.

9:35 3rd Quarter
Carson Palmer throws the deep ball for Derek Hagan but he and Denver safety Mike Adams get tangled and the ball falls incomplete.
Raider fans are looking for a penalty but I think the officials ruled that it was incidental contact.

Denver is inside the 20. First truly big play for Hillman on the season.
14:10 3rd Quarter
Well run play by the Raiders on third down but Denarius Moore comes back too far and fails to get the first down. Moore was short by maybe a half yard on a comeback route.

As the most effective method of recruitment search is a very power tool, but search conducted properly commits billable consultancy time on behalf of a client. This is why search companies require reciprocal commitment from their clients in the form of exclusivity in order to earn a return on their time investment.
The benefits of exclusivity are:
The main difference between our Elite and Eclipse search service levels is the amount of commitment we provide to our clients to fulfill their hiring needs.
To understand a search firms' position on exclusivity, ask yourself these questions:
Q1. Would your company commit weeks of consultancy time to develop a piece of software or conduct a consultancy assignment, in the knowledge that you are one of several companies producing this and your company may not be paid for its time?
Q2. If the client in question still wouldn't give exclusivity but you agreed to spend some time on it in the hope that you may get a return on your time investment, would you be willing to guarantee the same level of effort and service as a full exclusive?, or prioritise this work above assignments where clients commit to you on an exclusive basis?

Paul Gerber, first aid volunteer at the Red Cross at Coronation Road, Norwich, ready to go on a home visit with reporter Donna-Louise Bishop. Picture: Denise Bradley
Donna-Louise Bishop, Reporter
Wednesday, September 25, 2013
Every day hundreds of people give up their free time to help others in need. Reporter DONNA-LOUISE BISHOP spent a morning with the British Red Cross to find out more about their volunteering efforts.
Anne Mills, 65, from Wymondham, is awaiting a hip operation and suffers from hypoparathyroidism - a condition leading to low calcium levels in the blood.
With her husband, Leslie, 66, the couple made contact with the Medical Loan centre to hire a wheelchair for when their grandchildren visited.
Mrs Mills said: "I could not have managed without the Red Cross. They are doing fantastic work."
Mr Mills added: "With the wheelchair it meant Anne was not home-bound"
Nick Chipperfield, 66, of Thorpe St Andrew, used the Medical Loan centre after his wife Pamela, 64, sustained a lower leg fracture after a fall.
When Mr Chipperfield took her on a routine visit to the fracture clinic at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, he had to park more than 200m away and it took 15 minutes to find a wheelchair.
Mr Chipperfield said because of the charity they are now able to get to the hospital and doctors with more ease.
He said: "We are very grateful that this service is here."
The word "crisis" can mean many things to many people but whatever the circumstance many of us would have experienced at least one in our lifetime - whether on a global scale or personally.
One thing that is not guaranteed though is the support we may, or may not, have received during the time we needed help the most.
But for around 500 British Red Cross volunteers, throughout Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire, this is their moment to shine and support by giving up their own time to help others in need.
British Red Cross event first aid service co-ordinator, Iain Jennings, explained that the people who volunteered for the charity were the lifeblood of the organisation and without their help the services on offer would cease to exist.
He said: "I started as a volunteer myself and last year alone I worked 300 hours of voluntary work.
"We do need people from all walks of life as we could not do what we do without them - the Red Cross is massive in the community and we have fingers in every pie. There is not anyone we do not help out, all is encompassed and no one is excluded."
As well as overseas help the British Red Cross covers dozens of crisis situations with its main five areas of help in event first aid, emergency response, health and social care, fundraising and refugee support.
An example of event first aid in the local community is the help volunteers give at Norwich City Football Club. During most home games a total of 22 volunteers help out by providing medical care for people who require it.
And at the charity's headquarters in the north of the city, off Coronation Road, a group of volunteers help to run the Medical Loan centre - more than 19 individuals across the county's 14 outlets.
In the last three months alone 510 clients have used the centre, with a total of 750 pieces of equipment loaned out, such as wheelchairs and commodes.
Barbara Roberts, 67, has been a volunteer for the British Red Cross for seven years and mainly helps care for people in their homes, such as doing shopping and supporting with recovery after being discharged from hospital.
Mrs Roberts began volunteering before her late husband Eric died six years ago and although has lots of friends she felt she wanted to "give something back".
"I have had a lovely life and my mother always said give back to society what you have taken out," she said.
"I have found out that since volunteering that something I am good at is giving people back their confidence. I take people shopping and possibly go to a cafe with them. I end up doing anything really. Some of it can be tea and sympathy and other things is quite involved.
"You get a wonderful lot of satisfaction out of it."
Mrs Roberts mainly helps out with the Support at Home team, based at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.
Senior complex discharge co-ordinator, Emma Fraulo, is a trained nurse at the N&N and described the team's efforts at the N&N as "invaluable".
She said: "They fill in a gap we do not have the resources for. It's invaluable to have a service like this in the hospital."
The team also take referrals, which could see volunteers spending their time keeping patients company during their stay at the hospital.
More than just a charity, the British Red Cross and its volunteers can both save and change lives as well as raising vital funds to help hundreds of thousands of people in crisis every year.
And one thing is clear, that without the help of others it simply could not do what it does best.
• If you are interested in volunteering, regardless of experience, background, or how much time you have to give, please email people and learning manager, Sarah Hurren, on email@example.com.

Natural Childbirth: How Cord Cutting Can Affect Your Baby for Life
I know that there's a ton of things that demand your attention when preparing for natural childbirth, but please do not allow yourself to overlook what to do to your baby's umbilical cord at birth. In this article I would like to express to you the enormous importance and value of waiting to cut the cord! The difference in waiting a short amount of time after your natural childbirth may not seem particularly monumental to you but to your baby it is huge, and can affect them for the rest of their lives!
What the Umbilical Cord Means to Your Baby - While inside the Womb
The umbilical cord is your baby's main source of life while it is in your womb. Among other things it takes the place of its lungs. It connects your baby with the placenta which pumps this amazingly oxygen and nutrient rich blood through their entire body feeding, sustaining and nourishing them. And then when the blood is ready to be cleansed it pumps it back to the placenta where it is refreshed, renewed and sent back to them to use. This is a continuous ever flowing beautiful process that nature has created perfectly.
So there is a constant feeding, nourishing and cleansing system that is taking place between you, your baby and the placenta. In essence it is your baby's "life cord."
You Chose When to Cut Your Baby's Cord After Natural Childbirth- Please Make an Informed Choice
After your babys' natural childbirth it is still going to be connected to its umbilical cord until you decide that it is time to cut it. Sadly we are living in the days where everything is rush, rush, rush, hurry, hurry, hurry! We seem to have forgotten the importance of slowing down long enough to respect nature's process. It's all about the short cuts. And this is what it's become in the medical community; the quickest way to get things done has taken precedence over the most beneficial.
All too often we just go along with whatever procedures are in place simply because we don't know any different. But please do not allow your baby to miss out on all of the benefits that nature has intended for it. And remember that this is your baby and all decisions surrounding its' birth and care are yours to make.
What the Umbilical Cord Means to Your Baby - After Natural Childbirth
Even though your baby is now able to survive on its own without being connected to the cord does not mean that it suddenly is of no use anymore. Remember that this cord has been your baby's connecting life force for the entire span of its existence so far. So to cut it suddenly, abruptly and prematurely is not beneficial to your baby. In terms of health benefits and emotional benefits it is much better for your baby to wait to cut its cord.
When to Cut Your Babys' Cord after Natural Childbirth
How long should you wait to cut the cord? After your baby's natural childbirth the umbilical cord does not just lie limp not functioning. For several minutes after birth the cord is still very much alive and active, still pumping blood and oxygen into your baby. You should not cut the cord until it has completely stopped pulsating. Changes in the cord's whartons jelly then produce a natural internal clamping within 10-20 minutes after birth. But as long as it is still beating it is still benefiting your baby.
Some parents choose to have what is called a "lotus birth" meaning that they chose not to cut the cord at all but rather allow the baby to naturally detach from the cord and placenta in its own time.
Benefits of Waiting Until the Cord Stops Beating
Besides, leaving the cord intact allows the natural physiological changes to take place within the child's body at their own pace, and allows iron and many other very important nutrients to be delivered to the baby.
What It Means for Your Baby to be Allowed to Experience Natural Childbirth in His Time
"In the act of drawing breath, of oxygenating his own blood with his own lungs, the child becomes himself. With his first breath, the child sets forth on the road to independence, to autonomy, and to freedom. Nature provides oxygen for the child through two sources: the cord continues to beat even as the lungs begin to function, the two systems work together, one taking over from the other, like a relay. The first system, the cord continues to oxygenate the child until the new system, the lungs, has taken over completely.
But practically speaking much depends on the way this transition takes place; whether this transition is made slowly, progressively, or brutally, in panic and terror. This can make the difference between a calm gentle birth or a…tragedy…
If the changeover comes abruptly it will leave a mark for the rest of life, any future changes will always be perceived as threatening.
Although the child is out of the womb he remains dependent on his mother through the umbilical cord, which continues to beat strongly for several minutes four or five sometimes even longer. Oxygenated through the cord and thus protected from anoxia the child can, without shock or danger settle down to breathing without being rushed – in his own time…
For a few minutes the baby straddles two worlds as it were. Then slowly, slowly he can cross the threshold from one to the other peacefully and easily, and with all safety, as long as we don't rush in, interfere"
~ Frederick Leboyer "Birth Without Violence"
Trust and allow nature to work as it is intended, birth is not an emergency or a race. It is so precious, and those moments right after birth are what defines your child's view of it's new world. Savor those moments, allow them to be sweetly sacred. Just taking a little extra care and those few extra minutes can make all the difference in the world to your baby, sending them the message that you are there to support love and respect their individual journey in this life. After your baby has been allowed to make the change over in its' own time, and the cord has been detached you can keep it, make art out of it, all sorts of really cool stuff! What are your thoughts on the importance of this process? Do you have any plans on what you're gonna do with the cord after your natural childbirth, or are any of you planning a lotus birth?

Hi, we never planned it , but with our home birth, ended up naturally having a lotus birth. Beautiful!
We watched her for the first four days playing with the cord through her fingers and toes… running her tiny feet up and down the drying cord. and on the fourth day at came apart, and it felt like the next phase…we were all ready to say good bye to the placenta!
Cheers Tatum -
Wonderful to read this, but another point you seem to have overlooked: my own experience was that by leaving the cord intact until baby had his/her first suckle, this act somehow detached the placenta making 'its' delivery fast and painless. My first child, born in a maternity unit in 1969, survived anyway, despite the unnecessary medical interventions. The other 6, born over the following 20 years, all benefitted from being born as (I believe) nature intended.
Im due February 1st and a bit anxious to give birth at home; though, my first born February 2011, was a completely natural unmedicated birth in the hospital. Not because thats how the hospital wanted it to be but because I did not want drugs and they did not believe me I was in labor and the birth took place too fast to even hook up an IV. One of my concerns is about the umbilical cord…If one was to give birth alone at home or elsewhere but was too afraid to cut the umbilical cord themselves; how long can they wait for a midwife or other Medical Help to arrive before it becomes harmful to the Baby???

Shady Spots and Flower Pots
I had such fun painting these flowers in their pots. The idea was simply to challenge myself to paint nine of them--odd numbers being so interesting--and see what happened. Individually the paintings please me, but together I think they made a really beautiful collection!
In order to show you how they look I'm including a shot I took before framing them, just loosely arranged on the table. You can see the individual paintings fairly well this way. (You'll notice they aren't in the same arrangement as when I matted them. I spent quite a while deciding on the perfect order for them!)
Each of these little 2.5" x 3.5" paintings would normally sell for $50.00 (unframed) in a gallery. That means this collected one at a time the nine paintings would cost you $450.00, and that's without the cream color double mat. Add a 20" x 16" white or natural wood frame--or even a green one, if you're the adventurous type--and the presentation will be quite stunning.
Matted and ready to frame, these nine paintings will only cost you $300.00.
Shipping within the USA is only $30.00. International shipping price on request.

Red Cliff-SOLD
I love the towering red cliffs we see around here in New Mexico. They're such a delightful contrast with the surrounding greens and the blue sky. It took me a while to recognize that to get the striations in the layered rocks to read correctly I needed to paint them in perspective, but it's not stringent the way architecture is, just gently receding into space.
New Mexico,
red rocks

Congressional District # 06
EPA ID# OHD980611388Last Updated: November, 2012
Site Description
The South Dayton Dump & Landfill (SDDL) Superfund site contains an 80-acre, old industrial landfill located at 1975 Dryden Road in Moraine, Ohio. Previous U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA) reports indicated that the landfill was 25 acres in area, but more recent information indicates that the landfill is 80 acres in area, with about 40 acres having been built over and/or being used for other commercial/industrial purposes.
The SDDL site is located near the Great Miami River and the landfill itself is separated from the river by about 350 feet of flat open land and the Great Miami River Recreation Trail. Seven residences are within 200 feet of the landfill along East River Road and a trailer park is located 200 feet from the landfill east of Dryden Road. Part of the landfill is within the 100 year floodway and more than half of the landfill is within the 100 year floodplain. The landfill is within a secondary wellhead protection area and there is a well (not used for drinking water) in the northern part of the landfill. The SDDL site also contains a federally designated wetland.
The SDDL was operated from 1941 to 1996 by filling in a former sand and gravel pit. Chemical drums, metal turnings, fly ash, foundry sand, demolition material, wooden pallets, asphalt, paint, paint thinner, oils, brake fluids, asbestos, solvents, transformers and other industrial wastes were disposed of and some of these materials are found below the water table in direct contact with the groundwater. As the quarried areas of the site were filled in, some of the property was sold and/or leased to area businesses including Valley Asphalt and others along Dryden Road and East River Road. The Miami Conservancy District owns the southern part of the site, which included part of a large quarry pond. The owners of the remaining undeveloped areas of the landfill would like to develop these areas of the site for commercial and/or industrial use.
EPA proposed the SDDL site to the Superfund National Priorities List in 2004, but did not complete the listing process in favor of addressing the site through its Superfund Alternative Sites (SAS) program.
Site Responsibility
The South Dayton Dump & Landfill site is being addressed by potentially responsible parties (PRPs) under federal and state oversight.
Threats and Contaminants
Soil at the South Dayton Dump & Landfill site contains metals including lead, copper, antimony, arsenic, barium, beryllium, cadmium, and mercury; and organic compounds including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), trichloroethene (TCE), tetrachloroethene, and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Groundwater contains vinyl chloride, TCE, 1,2-dichloroethene, arsenic, lead, and other chemicals. Sediment in the water-filled gravel pit contains PCBs, PAHs, and pesticides. Sediment in the adjacent Great Miami River also contains PCBs, PAHs, and pesticides plus mercury.
Cleanup Progress
EPA conducted a screening site inspection of the landfill in 1991, a focused site inspection prioritization site evaluation in 1995, and an aerial photographic analysis of the site in 2002. Ohio EPA conducted a site team evaluation prioritization of the landfill in 1996. In 2000, Valley Asphalt removed several drums and 2,217 tons of contaminated soils from its property that were uncovered when a sewer line was being excavated.
In 2006, several PRPs agreed to conduct further studies and evaluate cleanup options at the site. This work, termed a remedial investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS), is being conducted under a settlement agreement called an administrative order on consent (AOC) with EPA. In 2008, the PRPs agreed to conduct a streamlined RI/FS at the SDDL site and developed workplans for several investigations.
From 2008 to 2010, the PRPs conducted a geophysical survey, test pit and test trench sampling, vertical aquifer sampling, landfill gas sampling, and groundwater monitoring well installation and sampling. Based on these investigations, the PRPs agreed to divide the site work into two parts or "operable units." Operable unit 1 will involve evaluating cleanup alternatives to address 55 acres of the landfill and will include cleanup alternatives that will allow on-site business to remain safely operating at the site. Operable unit 2 will involve more detailed investigation of surface water and sediment in the on-site quarry pond and of the Great Miami River, in the floodplain soils, and in off-site groundwater.
In 2010, the PRPs agreed to do a vapor intrusion study to determine whether landfill gas (methane) and/or volatile organic carbons are migrating from the landfill and into on-site and nearby buildings. Indoor air, subslab, outdoor air, and soil gas samples were collected several times in 2011 and 2012, and indicate that vapor intrusion and landfill gas migration pose an imminent and substantial endangerment to human health. EPA initiated a time critical removal action in June 2012, and issued an Action Memorandum in October 2012 that required active mitigation systems for on-site buildings with completed vapor intrusion pathways, and installation of a perimeter landfill gas system, if necessary. EPA is expected to finalize an AOC in late 2012 under which the PRPs will perform the removal action.
The PRPs submitted draft RI/FS reports for the site in May 2010 and January 2011, but EPA determined that there was inadequate information on landfill contents and potential off-site migration of contaminated groundwater. The PRPs have agreed to conduct additional investigations of on-site groundwater and contaminant sources before finalizing the set of remedial alternatives. EPA has begun working with the PRPs on the data quality objectives process for this work, and expects to have a work plan for this work in early 2013. EPA plans to select a final cleanup plan for the landfill contents in late 2014 and will then begin negotiating with the PRPs on the legal agreements for designing, constructing, and monitoring the chosen cleanup remedy.
A full RI/FS for operable unit 2 - the contaminated sediment, surface water, soil, and groundwater outside of the landfill property - will be conducted after the investigations within the perimeter of the landfill are are complete. EPA expects to receive a draft workplan for this RI/FS in late 2013.
Property Reuse
Much of the property is currently used for commercial/light industrial purposes, as land parcels that overlay the landfill were sold off or leased as the former quarry was filled in with waste materials. EPA expects that the final cleanup remedy for the SDDL site will accommodate the existing businesses in their current locations.Contacts

Andy is your typical All-American seventeen-year-old gay virgin. Like everyone else, he's dying to have sex. Totally out of the closet and mad-crazy horny, this naïve high school senior is caught in that awkward vortex between child and adult. Much to the dismay of his mom (who wonders why all her carrots and cucumbers keep disappearing), Andy spends much of his private time practicing for the big moment when he'll finally take the plunge. Andy is not alone. He attends high school with his three best friends, all of them totally out-loud-and-proud. Jarod is a buff, blonde varsity-jock stud. Griff is the valedictorian, sinewy sexy, and a closet romantic. Nico is the pierced alternative-kid gay-cinema expert. The guys all have one thing in common – they're all booty-virgins. Muffler, 18, the boys' bulldyke Casanova stud bud, delights in pointing this out. Muffler is a cheerleader-magnet with loads of sexual experience under her mullet. The final straw for the guys comes at Muffler's graduation party, where everyone is having sex but them. That night they make a pact to do "the big A" by the end of summer. What follows is a raunchy ride on the bumpy road to butt love. Along the way, the film spoofs not only "American Pie" and gay movies from "Trick" to "The Broken Hearts Club," but also the entire gay lifestyle. After the end-of-summer blow-out bash at Muffler's, the boys' lives (and asses) will never be the same… Will Andy decide he's not ready for sex after all? Will Griff act on his raging crush for best friend Jarod? What is Nico doing with Muffler's grandpa? Will Andy get that gerbil out of his ass? Beneath the film's sex-romp exterior beats the true heart of the story – one of friendship and loss of innocence. Each character experiences his own rite of passage on a journey that spans from boys to men.

When we think of Broadway, we have in mind a particular kind of song, though we would be hard pressed to say what exactly that might be. Collected here are ten certifiable Broadway hits from over forty years, performed by original Broadway cast artists. And no two of these songs are even remotely alike. From the happy decadence of 1930s Berlin to the optimism of an orphan girl from the Great Depression, from the unbridled enthusiasm of Freddy in love to the come-on of a streetwalker, the Broadway song – whatever that is – seems to say it all. But there are some qualities that bring these songs together. Great tunes and intelligent lyrics are the most immediate qualities that come to mind. And maybe because they are rarely about love (the Broadway song first and foremost tells us a story or illuminates a character), they have a special lasting power that transcends the usual fads of popular song.
These are normal songs about normal people. Even the Broadway stars singing them sing like normal human beings. Perhaps that is the most engaging thing about the Broadway song. Angela Lansbury, Jack Klugman, Topol, and Glynis Johns are not necessarily known as singers, but they bring character and life to these songs. Isn't that the essence of Broadway?

Are You a Rate Chaser?
By Sun
Though I have multiple online savings accounts and often move money around to get the best deal, I don't consider myself a real rate chaser. Rate chasers, according to the definition in a NY Times article, are savers
who hunt for the best interest rates at banks and credit unions and quickly move their cash from one account to another.
I want to get the most out of my money, but I didn't go after each and every bank that pays the highest rate. I only open an account when the promotion rate is significantly higher and the promotion period is meaningfully long. In addition, in order to make a profit, I will need a substantial amount of money at hand to play the game. These are the reasons I opened an account at FNBO Direct early this year when they offered a 6.00% APY promotional rate for six months. With nearly $100,000 deposit, all borrowed from credit cards with 0% APR offers, I was able to collect about $500 a month in interests. At the end of September when the promotion ended, I have earned more than $1,600 from FNBO alone. What could be better than making money from money borrowed for free? Right now, I have my money at IGoBanking which pays 5.17% APY (check out the complete list of online bank offers). Though there are CDs out there with higher rates, I like the flexibility of an online savings account.
The reason for rate chasing is of course for preserving and growing the money. While in the long term the stock market is the place to be, a high-yield savings account is a sure way to grow your hard earned money in the short term, whether it's for a house downpayment, purchasing a new car, or a vacation. And it turns out that rate chasers' return isn't bad at all compared to the total return of the stock market measured by the S&P 500 index.
The NYT article, Rate Chasers Are Online and Moving Cash Quickly, has this part as a rate chaser's logic for chasing the rates:
"The millionaires have stocks and bonds, and they're chasing with their safety money,"? said Nick Ferris, a 24-year-old software engineer from Rockville, Md., who readily acknowledges that he is one of the more aggressive rate chasers, having borrowed money at 0 percent introductory rates from six credit cards. "We poorer people who don't want to go bankrupt if the stock market crashes are more inclined to go rate chasing with all of our money because all of it is our safety money."?
Are you a rate chaser?

The current lpr/lpd system in NetBSD is ancient, and doesn't support modern printer systems very well. Interested parties would do a from scratch rewrite of a new, modular lpr/lpd system that would support both the old lpd protocol and newer, more modern protocols like IPP, and would be able to handle modern printers easily.
This project is not intrinsically difficult, but will involve a rather large chunk of work to complete.

Blind Chinese human rights activist
plans London visit
Human rights and pro-life campaigners have launched an urgent appeal to find the money to bring blind human rights activist Chen Guangcheng to London later this month (May 2013) to meet senior Parliamentarians and Government Ministers. A fundraising page has been launched by Right to Life Trustee, Chris Whitehouse.
Chen Guangcheng: self-taught lawyer and human rights activist
Intimidated, beaten, arrested and imprisoned, Chen Guangcheng, although blind from birth, is a self-taught lawyer and human rights activist who has challenged the brutal practices of forced abortion and compulsory sterilisation of women in China. He escaped house arrest, fled to the American Embassy in Bejing and was eventually permitted to fly to the USA with his wife and children. He is coming to London to meet senior politicians and will call for international action to press the Chinese Government to end these barbaric practices.
