Treatments and drugs
By Mayo Clinic staffWarts often go away without treatment. But even if your warts have disappeared or have been removed, you can still harbor HPV and may transmit the virus to others.
Medications to eliminate warts are typically applied directly to the lesion and usually take many applications before they are successful. Examples include:
- Salicylic acid. Over-the-counter treatments that contain salicylic acid work by removing layers of a wart a little bit at a time. Don't use these products for genital warts, as they will cause severe irritation.
- Imiquimod (Aldara, Zyclara). This prescription cream may enhance your immune system's ability to fight HPV. Common side effects of imiquimod include redness and swelling at the application site.
- Podofilox (Condylox). Another type of topical prescription, podofilox works by destroying genital wart tissue. Podofilox may cause pain and itching where it's applied.
- Trichloroacetic acid. This chemical treatment burns off genital warts and may cause local irritation.
Surgical and other procedures
If medications don't work, your doctor may suggest one of the following procedures, which physically remove warts by:
- Freezing with liquid nitrogen (cryotherapy)
- Electrocautery, which uses an electrical current to burn off warts or lesions
- Surgical removal
- Laser surgery

I'm just revising my first book in order to upload it onto Kindle and was wondering if any of you out there has already done so and would like to comment on how it went for them. I'm interested in hearing how easy or hard it was to format it, and what you have done to promote it. Thanks Sharon |

This was also just announced today.
http://vook.com/ It seems like a bit of a rip off for something which is basically just HTML 5 plus a couple of emails and three uploads, but if you are willing to spend $79 a month then this is an option. There was an article in Publisher's Weekly today http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topi...tm_medium=email Personally, I think that the pricing structure has been set up for small indie publishing houses and not individual users. Though there does seem to be something called a Maintenance account for $59 per year. |

Mothra, I saw that article. I agree, that pricing seems way high, when there are folks who will do it for you for a flat fee.

Formatting for Kindle is very easy. Simple HTML, and then you upload through KDP and it does the rest. Just look at some guides online. You won't have any trouble.

Sharon, have you looked at distributing through Smashwords? They distribute to a ton of places and have a load of various formats. They take a small cut of your sales... but it might be a good potential distribution center if you like what you see.

The 2nd Circuit has rebuffed an attempt by fired National Finance Corporation workers to hold Bear Stearns liable for not giving them advance written notice of their impending terminations. The court said that workers must show that a creditor was "responsible for operating the business as a going concern" rather than acting only "'to protect [its] security interest' and 'preserve the business asset for liquidation or sale.'" An attorney for Bear Stearns said the decision should "give comfort" to lenders.

22 years ago on a sweaty Sunday afternoon at the Cat's Cradle in Chapel Hill, NC, I stood in front of Breadwinner and tried to keep time with their odd time. I was also prolly smoking hella cigs, too.
I've been on about this group before, as they are incredibly important; they are the genesis of contemporary math rock. This show, I think, is just prior to their first EP being released. I can't remember who they played with that day... perhaps a very late, no show in fact, Nation of Ulysses.

RUGBY: Wilson takes helm at Witney
10:20am Thursday 5th September 2013 in Sport
WITNEY have an all-new coaching team as they prepare for a fourth season in South West 1 East, starting on Saturday.
Peter Wilson comes in as head coach, with Ritchie Craig taking over the forwards duty.
Francis Grant is their new first-team manager, but there is continuity in utility forward and last season's player of the year Jez Hicks remaining as captain.
Wilson, who is known as Tug, is also head coach of the RAF and last season took charge of the Combined Services side.
He has increased links between Witney and the RAF and plans to use some of their players to boost the largely homegrown squad at Hailey Road.
"The welcome at the club and support has been outstanding and we hope to make some progress from last season and build steadily from there," said Wilson.
Former Maidenhead player Craig was capped by Scotland at under 19 level and played numerous times for the RAF and Combined Services.
Now retired from playing, he is relishing the challenge ahead.
"To have such a positive set of players and people at Witney RFC has made our work very enjoyable and hopefully we can steadily progress together as a club," said Craig.
Witney have signed four players, welcomed back three and only lost one.
IN: Dave Wickens (High Wycombe), Phil Thomas & Stuart Catherall (both RAF), David Hyde (University of Portsmouth), Robbie Richardson (Exeter University), Arron Lambourne (Chineham), Adam Copperwheat (Melton Mowbray) OUT: Richard Haire (Grove).
Last season: 10th.
Oxford Harlequins have appointed lock Luke Brown as their new captain.
They are seeking an immediate return to National 3 South West after last season's dismal campaign which saw them relegated from National 3 South West.
IN: Nick Marsh (Cambridge University, prop), Dylan Rodriguez (Hartpury College, hooker), Allan Purchase (Broadstreet, lock), Richard Battson (Boroughmuir, back-row), Jackson Achilles (Boroughmuir, back-row), Ben Selby (Randwick, hooker/back row), Ralph Jones (Littlemore, scrum half), Zac Norris (East Bay Rebels, Auckland, fly half), Keni Fisilau (Plymouth Albion, inside centre), Adam Walsh (Broadstreet, outside centre/wing), Jack Robinson Harwell, wing/full back), Mike Lee (Perth Bayswater Club, centre).
OUT: Jack Cosins (Vancouver, scrum half), Mike Forde (Christchurch, lock).
Last season: 13th (National 3 South West. Relegated) Grove have signed lock Richard Haire from league rivals Witney.
They open their season at home to Swindon.

Baptism For The Dead
It is often erroneously reported that without exception only The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints practices or has practiced the sacred rite of proxy Baptism for the Dead in support of their belief in Salvation for the Dead. This is not so.
Non-Christian baptism For The Dead
Outside of Christianity, proxy baptisms are practiced by the Mandaeans of Iraq and Iran.
Non-Mormon Christian Baptism For The Dead
Some scholars suggest that baptism for the dead was practiced by some Early Christian groups, continuing until at least the late fourth century, which must be correct in light of the ruling of the Roman Catholic Church.
As part of their Sacraments, the New Apostolic Church and Old Apostolic Church also practices Baptism for the Dead, as well as Communion and Sealing to the Departed. In this practice a proxy or substitute is baptised in the place of an unknown number of deceased person. According to NAC and OAC doctrine the deceased do not enter the body of the substitute.In the Reformed Old Apostolic Church it is believed that all deceased persons that are baptised reside within the body of the substitute.
Fourth Century Baptism for the Dead
A fourth-century Christian custom of baptizing dead bodies and giving the Eucharist to them as Baptism of the Dead, give support for modern Baptism for the Dead. Hebrew and early Christian scholar Dr John A Tedvetnes formerly of Brigham Young University writes:
"That baptism for the dead was indeed practiced in some orthodox Christian circles is indicated by the decisions of two late fourth century councils.
The fourth canon of the Synod of Hippo, held in 393, declares, "The Eucharist shall not be given to dead bodies, nor baptism conferred upon them."
The ruling was confirmed four years later in the sixth canon of the Third Council of Carthage."
John Chrysostom
John Chrysostom describes a similar practice among the Marcionites of the same century: if one of their followers who was being prepared for baptism died before receiving baptism, the dead person's corpse was addressed with the question whether he wished to be baptized, whereupon another answered affirmatively and was baptized for the dead person.
In the same passage, Chrysostom, a speaker of the language (Koine Greek) in which Paul the Apostle wrote, explained Paul's mention of people being "baptized for the dead" as a reference to the profession of faith in their own future resurrection that Christians made before being baptized.
Metaphorical Exegesis
Some interpret "baptized for the dead" as a metaphor for martyrdom, as in Mark 10:38 and Luke 12:50 baptism is a metaphor for suffering or martyrdom; accordingly they would translate it as "being baptized with a view to death".
In this interpretation, the phrase is closely linked with what Paul says immediately afterwards of the suffering that he himself faces and is enabled to endure precisely because of his faith in his resurrection which is similar to John Chrysostom's idea.
More Explaining Away
Martin Luther regarded the biblical reference to 'baptism for the dead' as a practice of being baptized above [ὑπέρ] the tombs of the unconverted dead whereas John Calvin thought it a reference to being immersed when close to death.
In Praise of Good Sense
The third and for many the most natural interpretation sees the phrase as referring to vicarious baptism on behalf of dead people performed in the belief that the dead were thereby benefitted in some way. This belief is put forward as the reason why, when Paul compares the Corinthians' experience to that of the Israelites in crossing the Red Sea and being fed on manna, he insists that the Israelites were not thereby prevented from sinning.
The Search For Truth Rages
The Tyndale Bible Dictionary concludes that Paul probably did not approve the practice of baptism for the dead. He refers to its practitioners as "they", not as "you" (the Corinthian Christians to whom he wrote).
The note in the Catholic New American Bible is more cautious:
"Baptized for the dead: this practice is not further explained here, nor is it necessarily mentioned with approval, but Paul cites it as something in their experience that attests in one more way to belief in the resurrection."
This is similar Tertullian who wrote in 207 CE, that Paul's aim in alluding to the practice of baptism for the dead, "whatever it may have been", was "that he might all the more firmly insist upon the resurrection of the body, in proportion as they who were vainly baptized for the dead resorted to the practice from their belief of such a resurrection."
Blame It On Gnosticism!
The practice of baptism for the dead, according to Professor Elaine Pagels is easily explained by gnostics who argued that the text was an allegory and that, therefore baptism for the dead refers to pneumatics (i.e. gnostics) taking the place of psychics (i.e. literalists), who were dead to gnosis.
Irenaeus, a disciple of Polycarp, wrote about the gnostics as being heretical in his work On the Detection and Overthrow of the So-Called Gnosis.
Or on the Marcionites
The doctrines of Marcion were similar enough to those of Gnosticism to cause Irenaeus in the to consider Marcion one of their number. Eventually Marcion was excommunicated for his views.
Tertullian wrote about gnostics in his work Against Marcion indicating that there was another aberrant Christian sect who believed in baptism for the dead.
Clement of Alexandria in his Excerpta ex Theodoto against paganism and deviations from Christianity, cites baptism for the dead as a doctrine peculiar to Christian gnostics.

JJ8 - If I were you I'd park at a Metro station on the Sunderland - Newcastle - Airport line, catch the Metro to the start (I caught one at 09:20 this year from East Boldon Metro Station), gets you to the start for around 10:05. Then you return on the Metro from South Shields, change at Pelaw back on to the Sunderland - Newcastle line (the Green one on the Metro map) and you're back at your car and better still clear of all of the post run trafic and straight on to the A19 or A1 south.
Yorkshire Random, great news, pleased to hear it. Offer of getting you back to Londgenuine for real and I did worry about you walking back to town - at least for the first pint! Well done on the run, hopefully see you next year.
Shielsy, he didn't look optimistic, but was certainly heading that way despite my offer. I'm lucky, my wife's cousin lives near the finish line, so I drop a bag off with him ahead of the race and always put my house key and beer money in the bag.
Starting to think that I need to join a running club if I'm going to crack 1:40 - just not sure which one (work in Newcastle, live in near South Shields) and whether or not sporadic attendance (through work and kid commitments) will be frowned on. Will start research on internet.
Now need to find a race or two somewhere local between now and the Half Marathon of the North in April. Criteria are; start and finish with easy access by public transport from Newcastle/South Shields so I can rehydrate properly after the finish.
Narrow Feet - WOW fantastic
I thought it was fantastic yesterday. The crowds, despite the weather, were tremendous, there seemed to be more people out than I'd seen before. Managed 1hr 40 and a tantalising 50 secs, marginally slower than last year, but given my lack of training, not too bad and I know the 1:40 barrier is there to be broken - next year.
Felt sorry for the guy I met as I headed to the pub, he was just about to set off walking to Newcastle to try and find his car key, that he'd dropped somewhere between Gosforth and South Shields. He declined my offer or a trip to the pub and getting him on a train home, hope he found his keys, London's a long walk after a run like the GNR!
KPO - great look! my winter kit's still in the loft, so it is a MacMillan vest and shorts for me, regardless of the weather. I've changed my usual pre race habit of pancetta and pasta and had steak with green salad and jacket potato, interested to see if it makes any difference.

The Security Factor of an Okey Download Application
Most of the people that have not yet migrated towards playing online okey for money are doing this because of skepticism associated with download okey games applications. The truth is that we are in front of software that will handle financial transactions for us. This basically means that we use the same software we play in to both deposit and withdraw money from the chosen rummy room or online casino.
We do not want our financial information to be in danger and this might stop us from playing online for money, even if we are very good at okey. In fact, a good okey player can make a very good living on a long term basis thanks to online rummy rooms or casinos that include okey games for money.
Internet security is at an all time high at the moment but it is also filled with very good hackers. Most of them are looking for identity theft information but there are also those that are looking for credit card information. A lot of individuals do not make any online purchase due to this fact. If you are among them you should be aware of the fact that there are different methods that you can use to simply avoid having to pay via credit cards.
One of the most common ways to improve your security with okey downloads is to use e-wallets when you are depositing money. An e-wallet will be preloaded from your credit card with a fixed amount of money. Even if a hacker gets the details of your e-wallet, including logins and passwords, they will not be able to steal anything from your credit card.
Although security is really important for you, there is a need to understand that you have to rethink your approach of online gaming. The security features that have been implemented recently are much better than what we saw in the past. This is especially true when you are dealing with reputable providers that have been in business for a long time.
In fact, you should only join online casinos that have positive reviews written by sites you can trust. Only those that have constantly solved all problems that appeared and bring in good user reviews should be joined.

Curtis Campbell, Gleaner Writer
International electronics company Sony recently launched its exciting 2012 audio line, said to be directly modified for the Caribbean market.
According to Rene Morales, Sony's Caribbean senior sales manager, the speakers used on the new entertainment systems have been modified to deliver more bass because Caribbean music is bass driven.
"The speakers are modified for this market because the Caribbean market loves heavy bass lines. However, we made sure to maintain that same good quality because we did not want to compromise quality for more power," Morales continued.
"You don't have to go to an actual party to have the experience. With this party system, you can have that experience in your homes because the sound and quality is of that standard," he said.
Entertainment systems
Entertainment systems on display were the MHC GPXD High Power Mini System, the MHC-EX880 System Component, the FST-GTK33IP HI-FI Music System, the MHC-GPX8 High Power Line-Array Mini System, and the MHC-GPX7 High Power Transportable Mini System.
The GPX 5,7,8 all carry three extra ports at the back to attach other devices, and according to Carlos Negron, Sony product trainer, the entertainment systems have been ranked three stars for energy saving.
GPX 7 and 8 are equipped with a microphone hub that can be modified by the system, while the FST-GTK33IP HI-FI Music System can play music directly from the iPod and iPhone.
The speakers for all the new entertainment systems advertised by Sony come with a built-in lighting system that changes colours based on the mood of the music.
Negron also revealed that the speakers were made from mica, reinforced cellular material, which strengthens the cones and allows the speakers to last longer under the pressure of heavy bass lines.
"Sony Audio has enjoyed the legacy of being the brand that can transform any gathering into a party experience. We are therefore proud to be presenting here in Jamaica the new audio line which was designed specifically for our region, which enjoys every beat and sound that boasts a colourful culture that is second to none. It's the same Caribbean user who frequently uses any opportunity to make a celebration out of a simple gathering," Morales added.
"Our clients enjoy music and entertainment at home; this is why we offer them the finest products to enjoy the best sound quality. We continue to focus on having personalised products for the Latin America and Caribbean region, and this way we reinforce Sony's commitment with Jamaica and the Caribbean's growing market," closed Morales.
The GPX 5 and 7 are currently available in Jamaican stores, and 3 and 8 will be made available to the public later this month.
Technatics sound's DJ Cut Eye kept the entertainment spirit alive at the launch by playing songs such as Sean Paul's Eye Deh A WI Knee and Dance by Voicemail, while patrons drank and viewed the new appliances on display.

Celebrate summer in a new home in Worcester
Home buyers who act now could be spending the summer relaxing in the garden of a brand new home in Worcester.
Redrow has a standout choice of three and four-bedroom homes available at the Earl's Park development. Some of the homes are almost ready to move into and with part exchange available buyers could find they're able to move sooner rather than later.
Pauline Turnbull, sales director for Redrow Homes (Midlands), explains: "People with school-age children who are considering moving home should be actively looking for their new home now if they want to move during the school summer holidays and minimise any disruption to their children's education. Those who reserve one of our stylish new homes now could enjoy the summer in the garden of their new home. They could even host a barbecue as a house warming."
Prices at Earl's Park start from £204,995 for a three-bedroom home. A four-bedroom Cambridge, available from £299,995, is almost ready to move in to.
The open plan kitchen, dining area and family room spans the width of the Cambridge and is at the heart of the home, providing a light, airy sociable space. There's also a separate lounge for privacy, a utility to keep the washer, dryer and boiler out of the kitchen, plus downstairs cloaks.
Upstairs, the master bedroom boasts an en-suite to complement the family bathroom.
"Designed with modern family living in mind, our new homes feature items that customers might not normally expect to find as standard, including fitted wardrobes, built-in book shelves, outside lights and under lighting to kitchen units; while bathrooms and en-suites enjoy quality fixtures and fittings, with an exclusive tile range," Pauline added.
"They're ideal for those who want to climb the property ladder and with part exchange available even buyers with a home of their own to sell could find they're able to move sooner than they anticipated. We'll effectively buy their old home so that they can buy one of ours. There's no need to worry about getting caught in a complicated chain and no agent's fees to pay, making part exchange the quick and easy way to move from old to new."
Earl's Park is just a short journey away from the centre of Worcester and with easy access to the M5 and M42 , it's the ideal base for commuters.
Some 20 acres of woodland will form part of Redrow's development of the former Earl's Court Farm site, where species-rich grassland will be retained, an existing wet pond area enhanced, additional trees planted along the streets and new woodland areas created.
A Cambridge style show home is open for viewing at Earl's Park from 10am to 5.30pm daily. For more information about the homes available, visit redrow.co.uk.

Florence Broadhurst
Florence Broadhurst | |
Born | Florence Maud Broadhurst 28 July 1899 Mount Perry, Queensland |
Died | 15 October 1977 Sydney, New South Wales |
(aged 78)
Cause of death | Murder |
Other names | Bobby Broadhurst, Madame Pellier |
Occupation | Designer Business woman |
Florence Maud Broadhurst (28 July 1899 – 15 October 1977) was an Australian designer and businesswoman whose 1977 murder remains a mystery.
Broadhurst was born in rural Queensland, at Mungy Station, near Mount Perry. She became a singer, winning local eisteddfods, and joined a group known as the Diggers who performed in Toowoomba. In 1922 she joined a comedy sextet known as the "Globe Trotters" and later the "Broadcasters", who toured South East Asia and China. In 1926 she established the Broadhurst Academy in Shanghai, offering tuition in violin, pianoforte, voice production, banjolele playing, modern ballroom dancing, classical dancing, musical culture and journalism.[1]
After her return to Queensland in 1927, she sustained head injuries in a car accident. She then went to England and married Percy Walter Gladstone Kann, an English stockbroker; they co-directed Pellier Ltd, Robes & Modes. Kann and Broadhurst separated, and Broadhurst became involved with diesel engineer Leonard Lloyd Lewis, living in Banstead from 1939. During World War II she joined the Australian Women's Voluntary Services, offering hospitality to Australian soldiers.
In 1949, the couple and their son moved to Australia. She travelled widely and produced 114 landscape paintings, which were first shown as "Paintings of Australia" in 1954 at David Jones Art Gallery, Sydney, then later in Brisbane and Canberra. She was a foundation member of the Art Gallery Society of New South Wales and a member of the Society of Interior Designers of Australia, was a teacher of printmaking and sculpture at the National Art School and was also involved in a variety of charitable activities. Her husband left her and their son in 1961.
She travelled to England in 1973 to receive treatment for her failing eyesight and hearing. She returned to Sydney and was murdered in her Paddington studio at 12-24 Roylston Street, in 1977. The murder was never solved, but there has been some speculation that Broadhurst was a victim of serial killer John Wayne Glover - (see "Florence Broadhurst - Her Secret and Extraordinary Lives" by Helen O'Neill), who was convicted of murdering six elderly women between 1989 and 1990, and is thought by police to have been responsible for other deaths.[2] In Gillian Armstrong's Unfolding Florence, friends and employees of Broadhurst stated that they believed the killer may have been known to her and that the motive may have been financial. This was due to the presence of two cups of tea near her body, suggesting a meeting or appointment, and the killer's apparent knowledge of her factory's layout.
In 1959 Broadhurst established Australian (Hand Printed) Wallpapers Pty Ltd., which later became Florence Broadhurst Wallpapers Pty Ltd, advertised as "the only studio of its kind in the world".[1] Her brightly coloured geometric and nature-inspired oversized designs were all hand printed. Technical advances made in her studio included printing onto metallic surfaces, the development of a washable, vinyl-coating finish and a drying rack system that allowed her wallpapers to be produced in large quantities.[1] By 1972, her wallpapers reportedly contained around 800 designs in eighty different colours,[1] while by the mid-1970s she monopolised the quality end of the Australian market and was exporting worldwide.[3]
Broadhurst's library of wooden silk-printing screens and film positives was sold to Wilson Fabrics and Wallcoverings in 1978, just one year after her death. However, the decline of wallpaper as a popular form of home furnishing in the 1980s saw the collection languish, and it was later re-sold to Signature Prints Pty Ltd. Signature Prints in turn was purchased by a conglomerate led by current CEO David Lennie in 1989. Lennie had previously run a small wallpaper company in Auckland, New Zealand and briefly met Florence Broadhurst before her death.
In the late 1990s, Chee Soon & Fitzgerald, a small but influential Sydney design store, held the wholesale and retail distribution rights for Broadhurst wallpaper. This led to some popularity in Sydney design circles but little media attention. In the early 2000s, Signature Prints made a conscious decision to promote Broadhurst's designs overseas, specifically in the UK. This effort, coupled with an international resurgence of interest in wallpaper, greatly increased the designer's profile and led to distribution deals being struck for both the UK and the US in 2003.
Five-hundred and thirty Broadhurst designs are in the company's collection but only a small proportion are printed by the company as wallpaper and fabric. The company retains strict control over the designs and insists printing take place in its inner-city Sydney factory. Some licences have been granted for other uses, such as high-end fashion pieces by designers Akira Isogawa, Nicky Zimmermann and Karen Walker. In late 2008, Cadrys Handwoven Rugs (based in Sydney, Australia) launched The Florence Broadhurst Rug Collection in Australia & the US featuring 10 designs with many more to follow, featuring Tibetan handspun wool, pure silk and other natural fibres. Their Florence Broadhurst Rug Collection was to be launched in Asia in 2009.[4]

Last time on The Colonel T Show, I joined Facebook.
Did you join me there? If so, you've enjoyed three solid months of frivolous status updates and photos of many of my children. Tonight, for no reason, I asked myself: "Why did I embrace Facebook and abandon my blog?" I've arrived at two possibilities:
- Facebook friends have no choice but to read my updates. A captive audience in every sense of the word.
- Posting status updates limited to 200 characters or less is fast and requires virtually no effort. That describes my general approach to life, so it suits me.
- Picture posting is ridiculously easy.
For a time, I engaged my old pal, fellow blogger and television superstar Scott Sabol, in a friend count battle. That was fun for a few days, but due to his irresistable charm and outstanding grammar, he has now eclipsed me by a factor of 5. Kudos to him. Really. I mean it.
So I'm hooked on Facebook. I'm not ashamed. It's pretty great. Nevertheless, The Colonel T Show (and Colonel T.com, and Colonel T vs. The World Crime League before it) is my first, best home, and it deserves better than to languish without an update for three months. So I apologize, not only to my readers (who really should be following me on Facebook) but to my dear friend, this website, whom I left all alone for three months on the cold, dark, Internet.
So, to that effect, this week I'm going to tell you about my new podcast, my upcoming children's album, and the upcoming April 20-ish birth of my son.

About Probably a shot of a Jnr
Updated for June 2013:
Nearly done 2 years on this amazing site - I do love it as much as the day I joined, but have hit that brick wall of not being able to balance non-Blip life with Blip socialising. Damn. I comment when I can in summary!
As such, my reasons for keeping this have now changed to being a personal journal for my Jnrs to look back on (and Mrs H and I too) so some record of this fleeting joy in our lives can be captured. When they are all grown up and sensible, I want to remember all the stuff we got up to and smile with the same feeling of happiness, pride and love.
Blip continues to inspire and fascinate me too, I browse through my subscribed journals every day (so many connections on here that are important to me) and do some random flicking through when I have the time.
Bit that was here before......
I live in the UK, teach kids aged 9-11 at a superb school in Derbyshire, love watching football (particularly Sheffield United), have a great wife and young family and wish I had more time to do fun things (don't we all?).

Nico Rosberg - 3rd: We have made some good progress today in the sessions, but I don't yet feel completely happy in the car and I think we can find some more improvement tomorrow. The tyres will be quite interesting to work out as although they are quite close together, the option at the end of a run is obviously a bit slower than the prime. We will have to analyse carefully which way we go in the race and I think that the answer might not be too obvious. We also spent some time testing the new aero parts we have here."
Kazuki Nakajima - 5th: "It was a good session today. We recorded some good long runs and although our short runs were not quite as good, if we can fix this by working with the data, we will be looking good for tomorrow."
Sam Michael, Technical Director: "It was a good practice today, we managed to get through everything on set-up and testing the new aero parts we have here. Everything went well on both fronts. We then spent the afternoon session evaluating the two different tyres, both of which look quite good for us, so from here we will be concentrating on qualifying and refining the set-up for tomorrow. We had no technical problems today."

Bridge-Logos Publishers, Brad Henry, author of Destination–The Winner's Circle, and NASCAR driver Jamie McMurray have joined together to raise money and awareness of autism. Brad Henry and Jamie McMurray have at least two things in common—each have an autistic family member and each are involved with NASCAR. Jamie's niece and Brad's eight-year-old son, Chase, are autistic. That's why a portion of the proceeds from the sale of each book is being donated to the Jamie McMurray Foundation.
The purpose of the Jamie McMurray Foundation (JMF) is to promote awareness of autism and raise funding for research, education, and support for individuals and families affected by autism. Because of Jamie's involvement as a race car driver in NASCAR, JMF will focus much of its activities on promoting a better understanding of autism in the NASCAR community, and will seek the financial backing and support of that community, including NASCAR fans who purchase Destination-The Winner's Circle.
The death of a parent, financial problems, a difficult divorce, or a child born with physical or mental challenges are only some of the traumatic experiences that millions of people face everyday. And when they seem to come fast and furious, many begin to question their lives. "What true purpose do I have in this world? Why am I and my loved ones suffering?" "What does all this mean?" Brad Henry experienced a multitude of devastating events, one after the other, that made him question the meaning and purpose of his life.
"I was desperate and didn't know what I needed. I tried everything under the sun to make me happy but all seemed lost. One lonely evening in my apartment, I was channel-surfing and stopped on what I thought was the comedy channel. There was a man speaking who I did understand at first, and then it seemed as though he was speaking directly to me. I heard the plan of salvation for the first tie, and that very evening I received Jesus Christ and was born again. At last I had the peace that only God can give.
"Since then, the Lord has allowed me to experience many tragedies and triumphs so that now I can testify to the goodness and perfect plan God has for each one of us. All those weird and horrible things that have happened to me were so that I can tell stories of God's goodness and share them through the power of the gospel. I would not change a day of my life, as they have made me see that the Lord is our only hope for peace, joy, and salvation."
Destination–The Winner's Circle is a series of devotions for anyone who is searching for the meaning of life, afflictions, trials, and success. Based on Henry's racing experience in college as a runner, and his current work with NASCAR, Henry will guide you through every leg of life's race, and show you the way to ultimate victory through Christ Jesus in every aspect of your life.
Brad Henry is a Sports Licensing Consultant in the sport of NASCAR. He knows a great deal about racing, for he was a long-distance runner for the University of Maryland. Upon graduation, he became an airline pilot. He has owned numerous businesses. His quest for meaning and fulfillment in his life led him to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. He lives in Huntersville, NC, with his wife, Julie, and their two sons, Bryce and Chase.
Praise for Destination-The Winner's Circle
"Brad Henry's book fills a need where the 'rubber meets the road'" (B. Houck of Millbridge, NC).
"This is no ordinary devotional . . . Henry will bring you to tears on one day and send you to the floor in laughter the next . . . but always, always, challenge you to make your day count for something" (J. R. Ray, Nashville, TN).
"His devotions touch us where we are in our everyday life, and encourage us to run the race in such a way that we may win!" (David Ring, evangelist).
"Thanks for your heart and passion to serve . . . Each day when I first look at your devotion title, I know that I am going to be challenged when I read it. You have a real knack for reaching to the deeper things in life" (Marcus Smith, Executive Vice President, Speedway Motorsports, Inc.).
"I am constantly amazed by how many people I encounter who know Brad Henry! Everywhere I turn in the NASCAR community, people know Brad. Most of the time they know about him because of his writings, and they tell me how his writings speak amazingly to the issues they are facing. Brad's network of friendships is a testimony to the kind of person he is—one who willingly serves others. This is especially true in the NASCAR community that MRO serves. The fact that Brad's writings have already touched so many lives is as good a guarantee as you can get that his writings will always encourage and inspire you" (Billy E. Mauldin, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Motor Racing Outreach).

A Day Out At The Children's Garden
Today we went out to the Ian Potter Foundation Children's Garden in the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne and everyone, even the adults, had a wonderful time. And the weather was really good too - you never know with Melbourne at the best of times, but in the middle of spring the weather's even more unpredictable!
The boys and I met up with their Grandparents to have a picnic at the Children's Garden. Grandma June had suggested we meet at the gardens and I suggested we meet at the Children's Garden as it is enclosed, only one gate in and out, and is designed specifically for children to explore and enjoy.
I'd packed a variety of snacks and yummy treats (I was in a bit of a rush so I hadn't worried about the sandwiches, besides Grandma June always gets fresh rolls and something - but today she didn't!!) However, the Observatory Cafe is just a stones throw away from the Children's Garden, so we picked up some lunch there. Very yummy, scrummy and interesting food to tantalise your tastebuds with nothing as plain or simple as a meat pie or buckets of chips! There were bagettes, fancy quiches, pasta etc, but I'd gone there looking for something simple that three young boys would enjoy (my boys love sandwiches filled with nuttella [nuttino in our case] or jam or honey) fortunately they had giant sausage rolls (the gourmet variety of course!) so I got a couple of those. The food was very yummy, but it kinda burnt a large hole in my wallet, so next time we'll bring all our picnic supplies! If you don't want to spend a fortune on delectable and yummy food, byo picnic.
Food aside, we picniced inside the Children's Garden on one of the artistic wooden bench seats around the entrance. I don't know about you, but I find after sitting on bench seats for a while I get that "numb bum" accompanied by "pins & needle" feeling. However, these bench seats are actually very comfortable and I was able to sit for a while without either of those feelings. There is only a small grassy area within the Children's Garden and on the brochure it says, 'picnic rugs take up valuable children's space. We suggest that you enjoy your picnic in one of the many beautiful lawn areas elsewhere in the Royal Botanic Gardens. Ask a staff member or volunteer for suggestions.' Or you can eat your lunch on one of the benches inside the Children's Garden like we did.
It was a beautiful day and once we'd sat ourselves down to eat, Brydon (the oldest) grabbed a handful of chips and disappeared. He wanted to go back to the Rainforest Ruin Garden & the Ancient Tree and do some real exploring. We only saw him when he came back for more food! It was great - I am one of those mums who likes to know where her kids are - but being in these gardens designed for kids where there is only one way in or out (and I could see the gate, which is childproof) so I was happy for Brydon to wander around the gardens by himself and explore. Later he went off with his Grandparents and Kael as they too explored the gardens. Grandad was very impressed and was wondering how he could do something like this in his own backyard. I think the part of the garden he liked the most was the Bamboo Forest. He came back looking for Grandma June who'd managed to lose him and both her grandsons amongst the Flaxy Tunnel where they were playing hide and seek. Anyway Grandad said, "I want to show you the bamboo. It's real great! It's taller than me!"
Kael and Xavier loved the pebbles in the Labyrinth Gardens as well as meandering through the lavender labyrinth. And Kael also enjoyed donging the metal Magic Pudding statue with a small rock he had found - it made a very nice sound, however, I thought that was not really such a good idea, so he settled for just showering the statue with pebbles instead! (and he was not the only child who had oodles of fun doing just that!) And I have realised that I don't remember actually ever reading 'The Magic Pudding' by Norman Lindsay, I remember some pictures out of it, but not the story. So when we next go to the library I'm going to borrow it out so we can have a read. Perhaps I'll even do a review!
Just make sure if you decide to give the Children's Garden a visit that you check the times on the website - we were almost caught out, if we'd wanted to go a week earlier the Children's Garden would have still been closed to visitors!

Here is a poem I wrote inspired by our visit to the Children's Garden.

Top 25 SEO Blogs
I just noticed a post on Sphinn a list of the top 25 SEO blogs. All the usual suspects are there, most of which are in my reader for daily consumption. Good stuff. Danny's Search Engine Land came out on top. I have to agree that they are the #1 source right now for SEO news, tips, etc. They've expanded into social media and other aspects as well, and continue to crank out the goods.

House of Commons adopts Layton's Kyoto Plus bill
Wed 4 Jun 2008
Elected chamber is first in the world to adopt 80% pollution reduction target by 2050
OTTAWA — Today, with the passage of NDP Leader Jack Layton's private member's bill, The Climate Change Accountability Act (Bill C-377), Canada's House of Commons has become the first elected chamber in the world to adopt science-based targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80 per cent, from 1990 levels, by 2050.
"This is a world first," said Layton. "Our legislation sets tough but achievable targets that will ensure Canada does its share to avoid the dangerous two-degree increase in average global temperature that scientists warn us about."
To ensure Canada meets long-term pollution reduction targets, short- and medium-term targets are also enshrined in the law. The bill sets an interim target of 25 per cent reduction in greenhouse gases by 2020 and requires progress reports from the government every five years.
"These are targets endorsed by world leaders, enshrined in legislation," said Layton. "Instead of looking back and dwelling on past targets, missed because of the inaction of previous governments, the NDP is looking forward to a sustainable future where Canada's economy is buoyed by environmental initiatives."
"When Conservatives filibustered this bill in committee, we kept fighting relentlessly for this law," said NDP Environment Critic Nathan Cullen (Skeena Bulkley-Valley), who led the legislative efforts and negotiations in the environment committee. "The cost of doing nothing to combat climate change would mean economic and environmental disaster for Canada. This is exactly why working families don't trust the Conservatives."
Dear Jack,
This is a great victory for the NDP under your leadership. Such targets are really important, and they do influence the debate overseas, particularly in places like Australia.
- Tim Flannery, author of The Weather Makers

Human Resources | News
Fort Wayne Community Schools, the largest school district in Indiana, has shifted its time management work to new software in an effort to save time and money. The search for a new application began in 2012 as the first phase of a project to replace the district's human resource and payroll system.
The district, with nearly 31,000 students and a staff of 4,265 in 51 schools, has signed a $453,746 contract with WorkForce Software to use its EmpCenter suite. The district will be paying $22,271 for annual maintenance.
EmpCenter enables organizations to track employee hours and absences, assign tasks, manage schedules, and monitor labor law compliance. Out of 10 proposals received during the request-for-proposal process, the district especially was drawn to the program's functionality for performing pay-rule calculation and managing leave. For example, the district has a unique workforce issue familiar to other school districts: Staff may have multiple assignments.
"An evaluation of our current processes made clear that removing manual intervention from time capture, attendance tracking, and [Family and Medical Leave Act] (FMLA) compliance would generate the greatest time and cost savings for our organization," said Jack Byrd, director of technology for the district. "We wanted a solution that could accommodate our intricate K-12 requirements as well as our compliance demands, without customization or work outside the system."
Byrd said the new time management platform would address "two critical goals": "EmpCenter's configurability allows us to automate all of our complex pay rules, while its [absence compliance tracker] solution provides an unmatched degree of case management and compliance support for the FMLA."

is a truly unique martial art and has proven itself superior for over a half
century. It began in Okinawa and in the mid-fifties, when the Marines studying Isshin-ryu
with under it's creator (Soke) Tatsuo Shimabuku beat the best practitioners of
the other styles on the island,
culminating in Master Don Nagle's victory in the Okinawan Championship, the
art was brought to the United States for the first time. At the time, Sensei
Nagle was a white belt (beginner), but he won the Championship against
In the
karate-ka's won for a good reason, their style when used as intended by
founder Master Tatsuo Shimabuku was superior, because it was based upon decades
of empirical knowledge, intense experience and pure logic.
Having attained teaching rank in
the arts of Okinawan Te, Goju-ryu
and Shorin-ryu
karate and proven to be a Master in each, as well as, a tenacious and
invulnerable fighter, he began to study the underside of these major styles and
realized that they could be improved. His studious and logical mind adopted a
theory of fighting vastly different than the karate existing in the early
50's. His changes were not frivolous, but immense and of a magnitude that
shocked the
When Master Shimabuku finally
revealed his creation, it was revolutionary in many ways. First, he had changed
the fist strike from the unnatural twisting punch, that started from the mid rib
area, to a vertical fist punch, which could be comfortably thrown from any
position, since it is as natural as a hand shake. The manner in which it is
thrown, allows significantly more focus or "chi" at contact. It is also
snapped back upon contact, as are all strikes and kicks in Isshin-ryu,
which enables you to transfer the focus to the opponent's body, while
maintaining your balance. The snap also keeps the target from grabbing your blow
or kick. Soke Shimabuku also removed the deep stances, giving Isshin-ryu
the ability to move quickly to the opponent's side and to strike when the
opponent presented an opportunity. Isshin-ryu
opponents would no longer present a target directly in front of an opponent,
they would simply avoid the opponent's rush. Isshin-ryu
does not attack or defend straight on, instead, coming in at an angle or from
the oblique, outflanking the opponent's deep stance and offensive attack.
We do not study Isshin-ryu
karate to absorb punishment from an opponent. We study and practice
to strike and beat an incorrigible aggressor, not to be struck.
Master McGrath was taught, a few techniques with both hands and feet, if
mastered, are far more effective than training to learn a vast number of
techniques. With the recruits at the Academy, it would be important to cut to
the importance of a relaxed stance, anticipation and awareness, focus and
avoidance of attack, directional blocking and quick combinations that stun and
avoid involvement with the opponent. Repetition of these selected techniques and
the practice of Isshin-ryu
Ippons (one on one/two or three on one, attacks in close proximity, where the
attackers throw punches and kicks, while the defender directs their blows away
from him or her and retaliates) which are set routines at first and become free
form as the recruits improve. Once they can defend themselves while standing,
the use of Kioto Jiu-Jitsu, would then place the opponent under your control and
quickly in a position of being hand cuffed and arrested.

I had a rough weekend at the Lake Perris IJSBA National, but it was worth all the headaches to hangout with and represent the best sponsors in the industry, Liquid Militia and Kommander Industries Thanks again for the support. Hey it wasn't all bad, I won one moto to finish 3rd overall in Am open after a DNF in the first moto.
Ian's headache started out when his transmission blew a few hours from home in Reno NV while in route to Southern California. His truck transmission blew the F up. Fellow LM rider Pete Zernik was already here at the LM HQ when he broke us the news. Pete was determined to help get Ian on the road. And if that meant finding a rental car, that's what was going to happen. Pete somehow managed to get U haul to cancel another persons reservation and give it to Ian ha ha (stuff was said that I can not mention).
Ian hitched up his trailer onto his super classy U Haul and tossed in all his gear and was on the way. A little behind scheduled not a lot of time for testing but all in all he made it and that's what counts.

Dre Kirkpatrick CB, Alabama – Imagine Kirkpatrick paired with last year's first rounder and fellow former SEC shutdown corner Patrick Peterson.
