Did you know that our government has created its own exceptions to the rules and punishments it imposes on the rest of us? Think insider trading rules for Congress. One more example of this is that Federal agencies are required to comply with the same OSHA health and safety standards as private sector employers, but OSHA can't propose monetary penalties against them for failure to comply with its standards.
A recent example of this related to lead in construction is discussed in an OSHA News Release dated May 10, 2011. According to the release OSHA had issued 16 notices of unhealthful and unsafe working conditions to the National Park Service-San Juan National Historic Site for violations of workplace health and safety standards, including exposing workers to lead and other hazards during lead paint encapsulation work in a building at the site.
According to the release, The National Park Service was cited with violations related to lead hazards and included; not training employees on the recognition and avoidance of lead hazards, not conducting an initial lead exposure assessment, allowing lead to accumulate on floors, not providing clean change areas, not providing for laundering of protective clothing, allowing employees to leave the work area wearing protective clothing, inadequate hand-washing facilities and not notifying workers of their blood lead levels.
To make matters worse, OSHA considered these violations "willful". According to OSHA a willful violation is one committed with intentional knowing or voluntary disregard for the law's requirements, or with plain indifference to worker safety and health.
Also according to OSHA, a serious violation occurs when there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known.
At the San Juan National Historic Site project eight alleged serious violations resulted from a lack of medical evaluations and fit-testing for employees using respirators, improper storage of compressed gas cylinders, no eye-wash stations where employees worked with corrosive products, an uncovered electrical receptacle, a lack of hazard communication training and material data sheets of the products used, and not implementing hazard communication and written respiratory protection programs.
Under Executive Order 12196 and Section 19 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, the head of each federal agency is responsible for providing safe and healthful workplaces for employees. However, like many government jobs, there is typically no punishment if they don't. What would it have cost your business if it had committed the same violations? According to Puerto Rico area director Jose A. Carpena, the identified hazards would have resulted in fines of $115,000 for a private sector employer. "The National Park Service must take effective action to correct these hazards and prevent them from occurring again," he added.

24/7 MoneyBox Hopes to Reverse the Bad Reputation of Canada's Payday Loan Industry

UK lender Wonga has recently set up shop in Canada, even though they charge more than 4,000 per cent annual interest and complaints against them increased tenfold in 2012 in their country of origin, according to British newspaper The Sun. They were also ordered to change their practices by the UK Office of Fair Trading after apparently wrongly accusing their debtors of fraud and threatening police action to collect debts. They were also under fire from the Consumer Credit Counselling Service and the National Union of Students for trying to attract students to their student loan lending service at 4,214% APR.

4 Tips to Help 20-Somethings Manage Their Debt
Filed under: Budgeting & Planning, Credit Cards, Debt, Loans
By Dan Caplinger
Daily Finance
Debt can be a heavy burden on anyone, no matter what their age, but increasingly, young adults are starting out deeper in the hole. A recent report from credit-score provider FICO shows that student loan debt has climbed dramatically for those ages 18 to 29, with average debt rising by almost $5,000 from 2007 to 2012.
The good news, though, is that young adults are taking steps to get their overall debt under control, reducing their balances on credit cards and their debt levels for mortgages, auto loans, and other types of debt. With 16 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds having no credit cards, young adults are getting the message that managing debt early on is essential to overall financial health.
With the goal of managing debt levels firmly in mind, let's take a look at four things you should do to manage your debt prudently and successfully.

Just as your annual exam at the doctor's office includes a variety of tests to determine your level of physical fitness, your midyear money checkup should do the same for your fiscal health. Here are five essential midyear money tests.
The Money Trap: How Banks Lure You Into Debt
Filed under: Buyer Beware, Consumer Complaints, Credit Cards, Debt, Loans, Mortgages
The Brighton Report, released earlier this year, revealed that the number of suicides in the UK hit 6,045 in 2011, a 7.8% increase compared to 2010, with deaths among men accounting for the largest proportion. A total of 4,552 men took their own lives in 2011 compared with 1,493 women.
"Debt clients frequently feel humiliated, disconnected and entrapped, with the process of debt collection having a clear impact on people's mental health," read the report from England's University of Brighton.
The ONS says that, among men aged between 45 and 59 years old, the suicide rate increased significantly between 2007 and 2011 to 22.2 deaths per 100,000 people.
"These figures ... reveal the profound human consequences of the economic downturn, in which unemployment, debt, and the relationship breakdowns that often follow, can push people who may be already vulnerable to take their own lives," Marjorie Wallace, CEO of SANE, a UK mental health charity, told Reuters.
Advanced Strategies for Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs)
Filed under: Budgeting & Planning, Debt, Investing, Loans, Retirement and RRSPs, Taxes
The good news is that, if you're strategic, there are even more benefits that can be gained. As your portfolio gets larger or more diverse and your life situation changes, there are a few RRSP quirks you may want to take advantage of.
Spousal or Common-Law RRSP
You can set up a spousal or common-law partner RRSP. You can then contribute into your spouse or common-law partner's RRSP; you get the deduction, but they own the plan. Generally, the partner with the higher income will contribute; this allows a higher tax reduction when contributing and a lower tax bill when your spouse or common-law partner withdraws the money, as they will presumably be in a lower tax bracket.
Excess Contributions
You may inadvertently put in too much money into your RRSP. If so, withdraw the amount as soon as possible. There are taxes assessed for any amount over $2,000 in excess of your limit; the tax is one per cent of the excess for each month the excess exists. This will accumulate quickly. After a year, 12 per cent or almost one-eighth will be taxed away.
Short Term Loans Now Possible in Canada Through Wonga

At this time of year, paying the holiday bills may mean that there's not a lot left over for living - we all need to put some food in the fridge and have some cash in the pocket.
Usually we consider putting a few extra items on the credit card, or asking a close friend for a few extra bucks, but what if there was another option?
There are short term loans available from certain types of lenders (aka payday loans), but there's a new kid on the block: Wonga.
13 Money Lies You Should Stop Telling Yourself by Age 30
Filed under: Buyer Beware, Credit Cards, Debt, Loans, Weddings, Mortgages
Daily Finance.com
I'm not quite 30 yet, but I'm more than familiar with the notion that this age is the new benchmark for people to get their lives together.
There are books, blogs and Twitter accounts dedicated solely to helping people cross that line in the best shape for their future. They do this by telling you to get rid of debt, stop shopping so much, start saving for your retirement and brace yourself for wrinkles.
But in my opinion, it takes a lot more than a healthy bank account and nice skin to live a full and happy life, whether you're 29 or 59. Most of us know how to succeed, we just happen to let ourselves -- and a few convenient lies -- get in the way.

What they don't teach you about identity design in design schools
Paula Scher guest authored on Tony Spaeth's Identity Forum with a great piece titled: What they don't teach you about identity design in design schools… …And what you can't learn from blogs.
"I never knew a designer that got hundreds of thousands of dollars to design a logo. Mostly, designers get paid to negotiate the difficult terrain of individual egos, expectations, tastes, and aspirations of various individuals in an organization or corporation, against business needs, and constraints of the marketplace.
"The designer needs to be ever present because, inevitably, at some side meeting, something will be suggested that will totally destroy the form of the logo. Something can be suggested innocently, with the best of intentions, that will scuttle all plans, compromise all standards, and destroy the integrity of the design. The only person who can know this and stop this is the designer."

What they don't teach you about identity design in design schools
by TN9Design
Theresa111 Very interesting article.
Sebastyne As far as Citi Bank goes, they're doing a good job at destroying the integrity of their logo. I can't tell how happy I am that I'm not their customer. Avoid at all cost. (Horror stories from close friends.)
LyndaLehmann I avoid banks as much as possible, and don't know how to use an ATM!
scribadiva I suspect the lack of id design in design school is much the same as being a sociology major, without understanding politics of identity,what's known as identity politics, or more frequently, political sociology. that is race, gender, color, and where you yourself fit. I spent 5 years on my thesis on id politics. I think the augmentation of your field in that direction would be taught at the school I went to, but no one should leave high school, or at most, college, without that understanding as well as critical thinking. People go to Harvard Law for critical thinking? They shouldn't be accepted without it.

Originally posted by Diovidius Yeah, I'm denying organized PvP was the only intended end-game. It was a very big part of it, but not the only part. And of course the lore is there as a backstory to support the gameplay. That's the entire purpose of lore in video games. Why on earth would they make a backstory that didn't support but contradict the gameplay? We are the bunny. |
There be plenty of pvp in the game for folks who like it and GuildWars do not mean pvp only, while ofc its a part of it a simple thing like a leaderboard that keeps track of guild pve stats is already a guildwar. just depents how wide you wish to see it. fact is that they are a company who like their product to be big and the pvp niche only aint good for it. thats why there is this huge pve world and surounding mechanics, but they dint forget about pvp at all. theres a whole hidden land you can spent allyour time in never leaving it having pvp 100% of the time + its smaller battlefields. the only thing it wont have is pvp in the pve world, everyting else it gots. |
Originally posted by gobla Backstory/Lore in many rpg's is a component in and of itself to be enjoyed and to be immersed in, this was not the case with the story of 'the Guild Wars'. About the endgame. What does the usual pve endgame of mmo's look like? Grinding for xp/abilities, grinding for titles, grinding for items and grinding for vanity items. Only grinding for vanity items existed in Prophecies (although later in the developement of the game that changed). So yes, there were some non-pvp things to achieve but they were so minor that it is hardly believable they were meant to be 'endgame'. |

Originally posted by Cruoris No guild wars? What exactly do you think WvWvW is eventually going to change into? Nature without Technology is little more than animals running about. |
Guild Wars became famous because of its PVP... (and no subscription). PVE was just there so you could learn your character, and prep you for end game. PVP should remain their focus. People want to kill other people. If you don't enjoy being ganked. Hello Kitty is coming out right? There you go :D |
Originally posted by Xiro Guild Wars became famous because of it's balanced organized instanced PvP, yes, not it's open world PvP because open world PvP did not exist in GW1. |
Originally posted by Diovidius
Just because you feel PvE end-game = gear grind doesn't mean that's actually the case. End-game is content at the level cap. There was plenty of PvE and non-guild PvP content at the level-cap. We are the bunny. |
Yes it's named after the "great guild war" event Yes it lay the foundation to guild vs guild pvp in the first game Yes GW2 have yet to mention anything about guild pvp yet but GW2 uses the same setting and world as original guild war, hence the name guild war stay and Mountain size dragon are throwing the world and all it's population in a state of chaos, heck even inter species conflict stop to make way to the new struggle in the world of tyria is facing, so it's logical that intra species strife and conflict will be put on hold too for the time being. |
Originally posted by Cruoris It's really no different than if WoW had a part 2 called World of Warcraft II or like Everquest has EQ2.....which, I must say, is nothing like Everquest except for the lore and places in the game..... Same thing. I don't see the big deal. President of The Marvelously Meowhead Fan Club |
For those that are interested: Prophecies released with 25 coop missions and 205 quests. Although this seems a small number, remember that the goal of this game was to provide constant updates to the game in roughly 6 month increments...which on average Arenanet accomplished. The ultimate mission quest/count of all 3 games: 58 co-op missions More than 650 quests. Not bad for a 'PvP only' series. Want to do your own math...here's the link http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Storyline |
Originally posted by Roybe We were talking about prophecies, not guild wars as a series. Yes, it's true Anet turned more and more towards a PvE-focus after the release of prophecies because they noticed people played and enjoyed PvE a lot more than Anet expected, that has nothing to do with how prophecies was intended to be played. |
i dont think that theyll remove the pvp "system" they used in GW
Originally posted by zipzap All modes of PvP in GW2 have been announced: Structured PvP (with a hot-joinable mode and a tournament mode) and WvWvW, that's it. Although Structured PvP has a few different types of maps of which only Conquest is known at the moment. |
If we want to get into the nity-gritty of the lore, there are at least 3 seperate guild wars. The most recent in the lore culminating with the charr taking advantage of the weakened state of the humans causing the Searing and the cataclysm of Orr. The first guild war is mentioned in the chronicles of Dwayna where the humans has recklessly squabbled over the gift of magic, resulting the creation of the bloodstone seals and the keystone crafted from King Doric's blood. The second guild war is only mentioned briefly in the Prophesies pre-order material. After the White Mantle took over Kryta, guilds were disbanded until emissaries of Cantha offered to open isles up for guilds to use. Canthan officials then oversaw the guild versus guild combat, turning into a sporting outlet. And to confirm what Diovidus has been saying, the GvG was the intended endgame from the beginning. The concept for tombs/HoH was not added until the second phase of testing and was added/refined due to player feedback. The realms of the Gods were not even activated until the second live-patch and Sorrows was not added until much later. |
Originally posted by Cruoris This is how the game is built dude, deal with it. In any case you will be able to fight the guilds that are not in your server in the Mist, so what you claim is not entirely true because you will still have guild wars, not just all the wars you wanted. So ye you won't be able to war the guilds in your server, except if you switch server, or if they implement a mechanism that would let you do so. Maybe they will make an arena type for guild wars purpose who knows? They could probably let you be a traitor for your own server in the mist, but for some reason i think they will never let you do that, it just go at the opposite of the game concept, which is "cooperation". In any case i don't think it is such a big deal. You could probably ask the same kind of question inside your guild, why is that i cannot kill the dump ass that is in my guild over and over, because i think he is a moron? Well its a bit the same here, in both case you can't because you are supposed to have a same goal. A whole server will have a same goal, which i personally think its fine. You can still fight in the Mist with other guilds, just not the same guilds you have in your server. Maybe they will let you switch server easily, but i wouldn't count on that either, seam to lead into some balance problems. Maybe they will find a way around this and still be able to keep the main aspect they want their game be about; ie "cooperation", who knows? |
"dont you wish this franchise was actual about WARS between GUILDS?" No, not really. Anything else I can help you with? |
Originally posted by just1opinion This ^ Said what I was thinking :) "Happiness is not a destination. It is a method of life." |
Well actually the OP has a point. I mean the game IS called the Guild Wars... and there are no guild wars in Guild Wars - see? The thing is that when GW1 begun the basic concept of the game was to be warfare between guilds. However over time and during the lifetime of the game it turned out that this concept is not really that hot.. guild wars PvP was the arguably the least popular and attractive gameplay form in GW1. Now fast forward to GW2. The "guild wars" concept has turned out to be a dud (at least in its GW1 instanced pre-arranged form) but the original game is still called "Guild Wars". There is really no option but to retain the name, however inappropriate it might be, in order to link it up with the first game and its fans, lore, reputation etc... Sorry, but there are no guild wars in Guild Wars. Weird, I know. But on the other hand, there is no war in World of WARcraft so there you go... On a tangent, we might yet see something like guild wars in GW2. Maybe in an expansion? ANet has proven quite capable of adding new gameplay modes to their game(s) so we might yet see a GvG Mist-type area in a future expansion. Who knows? It wouldn't be too much of a stretch.... |
Originally posted by Pilnkplonk Guild Wars (the name) has to do with lore I think not the gameplay per se... |
Originally posted by paterah Yadda yadda yadda... Making up lore to explain away changes in gameplay isn't exactly the rarest flower in the game dev jungle man... I'm not saying anything, as far as I'm concerned it's perfectly legit 'cause gameplay is the king however let's not call pitchfork a spade and try to dig a ditch with it, m'kay? |

Oops, you forgot something.
The words you entered did not match the given text. Please try again.
This seems like a book that I would like to read. Thank you. I lost my son, Kevin, to suicide and 9 other family members in the last four generations. I work with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention by putting on the Acadiana "Our of the Darkness" Community Walk. With some of the money raised, I have sent all public and private middle and high schools in Acadiana Region a "More Than Sad" DVD that will help the educators recognize the signs of depression. I have also sent three people to facilitor training so that they can help those left behind. I have turned the death of my son into something positive. This is what God wanted me to do with this tragedy. God Bless.
As an atheist whom has lost numerous loved ones in various ways from disease, suicide, murder, overdoses, and accidents, I can tell you that I lost my faith after experiencing my first shockingly painful loss at age 10. I stopped believing one day after my cousin was sick and I prayed and prayed for her to get better. She did not. As a child I took this to mean that there could not be a God. I'm 28 now and have argued for 18 years that when we die, we simply decay and nothing more. I live in Texas and just happened to be visiting my sister in Morrisville when you came to her apartment door and told your story. My brother-in-law bought your book and I immediately read it from cover to cover. Never before have I heard or read something that stirred something inside of me the way your book did. You gave me hope that there may be something more. I just wanted to say, "Thank you."
I look forward to reading your book. I too have been on a journey and am eager to expand my heart realm to embrace what you've learned.
I, also, had to read this straight through. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. I am passing this on to my children and others.
Nicely redesigned Connie!
Many thanks for great work you are doing in this neglected,abandoned and very sad area of human life.
I lost my 34 year old son to suicide in 2009. Had no idea something like this could happen to him or us. I am totally crushed and broken by what happened. He left behind 2 small children. I had attended a few grief groups, went to a private therapist, read lots of books, but I must say this book, Reconciled by the Light, really made an impression. I could identify with this book. I guess it made me feel a bit better, but I go back and forth, one day I feel better, the next day, not. I pray the afterlife really is like the book indicates. I hope my son is at peace. I try to pray and send him good thoughts, but I am so sad that it is really hard to do. I love him so much, so I hope he is getting that. His kids still say "I love and miss daddy", so these thoughts are being sent to him. I have seen mediums also, and some of them told me things that are impossible for them to know. My son had to be there to give me these messages. I would definitely recommend this book to people with similar loss. Thank you so much.
Thank you for writing a book on the susicide of your son. I lost a brother a year ago and he was like a son to me . He was 14 years younger than I. I will be getting your book . I have been so thankful to find sites such as yours to help me thru the devastating ordeal. I lost my husband to cancer in June and I have handled that better than Mike suicide. I was able to tell my husband I loved him, tell his good by and thanked him for the wonderful 53 years together, I didn't get that chance with my brother Mike. To be honest I thought death was death and we greived the same . Well let me tell you how wrong I was. They are no way the same and anyone who tells me they know how they feel and has never went thru loosing someone by suicide I tell them what the difference is. If someone has lost a loved one to cancer and etc then they know how I feel about loosing my husband. I know I will see my loved ones again someday and I feel their presence here with me now.
I;m lookingforward to readung you book. Thank you and God bless you .

Your story telling how you and your son reconciled your relationship is very beautiful, and I feel certain that it will help lots of people. I hope that more and more people hear about the book (I've already told a few of my own friends).

If so, could you please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com? Thanks, and a great Thanksgiving to you and Connie, and all your children.

Hi Ron,
Long time no see!

First time I learned about Joshua.
Such a great documentation.
Myra Meijer lent me her copy.
I have a question for you.
Once you get this mail let me know. I need to discuss something with you.
Stephen and I live near the Heaven and Earth Training Center (Korea)
Say hello to Connie for me. Maybe she will remember me, maybe not but anyway everyone knows you guys!
Love your Sister in True Parents,
Ron, participating in your first teleconference calls on Tuesday nights has been both inspirational and educational, but to hear you share your experience, love and faith is absolutely incredible. I am most amazed that Spirit is so powerful, distance and phone lines are not even considered. The vibration and energy shared is exactly like experiencing in person conversation and prayer. Taking our faith to the conference lines is inspirational and I love you for it. I know it is the beginning of a ministry and I encourage everyone following this Spiritualist path to join for a session. It is so worthwhile.
Hello to all that read this. I lost my Falon she was 14 when she took her life in 2007. I am in volved in a project called " Collateral Damage" It is going to be a book of images of people left behind by suicide. and alot of other things too. It is an ongoing thing. Scott Chislom is the creator.
Hello Ron,
could you send me a email.
i have a question regarding medium.
God bless you
Ron, I never imagined that just a few months after meeting you and Connie I would be a parent dealing with my child's feelings of suicide and depression. Your book, sharing your journey and faith experience, has filled us both with hope and inspiration. We are so blessed to experience the love you have for us, the time you take to care about us, and the warmth and kindness of your heart. I personally believe your ministry is opening before you, and please know you have my love and support forever. God bless you and your family.

Stumbled on your site.... probably for a reason.... Our daughter's death by suicide date is August 11. Would love to have a brief e-mail correspondence if you wouldn't mind....
Hey Ron and Connie,
Came upon this site. Very inspiring..
Will pick up your book at my local book store.
I hope and pray that all is well with you.
All the best.
I loved your ongoing commentary sharing of your new discoveries with us. We all have had experiences with the spirit world, and it strengthens our convictions beyond our physical senses. I'm excited too about growing along with you. This consciousness knows only wisdom and in that Light, we rejoice and truly share the source -God the good, and the one spirit of the Holy Spirit and are comforted. I support you in all you do. And I encourage others to share their experiences.
Hi Ron,
Looking forward to reading your book! Do you and Con have any copies at the house I could buy (and have signed by the author?:))
Gabe was such a big help to us during our move a few weeks ago. He is such a sweetie--I swear that boy (man) gets better looking every time I see him!!
Take care,
Hi Ron - It's been a long time since were in the RI church together. I am in Kodiak, Alaska now but have spent 10 years in Australia and we plan to head back there. We have one daughter, Josephine, 19. I am intrerested in reading your book.
Hi uncle ron it's me summer i read the book and like i said in my letter to you i felt his presence so i just hope you and connie and the cousins are ok bye i love you
Josh was one of my best friends in high school. I used to make wonderful music with him and I still love him dearly. I myself believe in something more after this life and I hope that Josh is enjoying his afterlife... It really hurt when he left and I've been on a path of destruction ever since, but I would love to read this book.

Angola: Methodist Church Analyses Internal Matters

28 September 2009 23:10 [Source: ICIS news]
(adds updates throughout)
HOUSTON (ICIS news)--The three-mile portion of the Houston Ship Channel that was closed due to an oil spill reopened at 12:45 hours Houston time (17:45 GMT) on Monday, according to the US Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard said the area between Old Manchester Dock Three and City Dock 27 on the 52-mile channel is now open to all daylight operations and limited night time barge passage.
Authorities closed part of the 52-mile channel following a collision on Friday involving a tanker, Chemical Supplier, which dumped thousands of gallons of No. 6 fuel oil into the waterway.
USCG Captain Marcus Woodring of the Port of Houston said the oil was contained along the shoreline and said it was safe to resume traffic flow through the affected area at slow speeds.
Responders continue to work on cleaning up the remaining oil, which originally was said to be 10,500 gal. The exact amount of oil recovered is unknown, but as of early afternoon Monday, workers had recovered 23,418 gal of an oil and water mixture, Woodring said.
The Coast Guard is conducting an investigation into the chain of events leading up to the incident, Woodring added.

Accessories in Devi Kroell's East Hampton store
Devi Kroell built a business on one must-have handbag: the python hobo. Since its 2004 debut, the brand has maintained a consistent focus on distinctive, impeccably constructed accessories made in the most luxurious and exotic materials. Validating this commitment, Devi Kroell was awarded Swarovski's Perry Ellis Award for Accessory Design just two years after its launch, solidifying its place among luxury handbags.
That same year, the company opened its first boutique, a discreet space located below London Jewelers in East Hampton. This hidden gem became the ultimate destination for those in the know, who came to find the brand's ubiquitous python hobo that had been spotted on the arms of trendsetters such as Sienna Miller and Anne Hathaway. Further cementing the store's commitment to its exclusive audience, shoppers were often treated to private parties on the boutique's outdoor patio. Over the past seven years, Devi Kroell has continued to grow, expanding beyond this initial location to a new space in a historic building at 23 Main Street. (The company also has opened boutiques in Manhattan and Las Vegas.)
This season python marched across many a runway: Prada's snakeskin Mary Jane and suede booties, Gucci's python pencil skirts and Hannah MacGibbon's python paneled sweaters for Chloé were among the numerous looks. However, nobody does it quite like Devi Kroell. No stranger to the exotic, the brand's signature pieces are timeless yet trendy. This season brought new styles as well, such as the Gramercy bag, which offers a more youthful silhouette. Our favorite piece, the accordion bag, was redesigned in rich jewel tones with an added shoulder strap, while the classic hobo was updated with bonded fox and rex fur for a multitonal color effect. Its wooden clutch, one of the house's hallmark pieces, was even redone, in rare zebrano wood with hand-cut stones and Swarovski crystals.
Yet no matter how exotic the skins or how luxurious the embellishments, Devi Kroell remains, at its core, an East Hampton treasure dedicated to the community heritage and exclusive to the women who recognize an underrated virtuoso. 23 Main St., East Hampton

Rooibos Tea by Rooibos Leaf (Red-Bush)
Rooibos (Red-Bush) leaf called the Tea of Africa, is from the fine, needle-like leaves of Aspalathus linearis, which grows on the high mountain ranges of South African Cape region. The leaves make a distinctive tasty, reddish brown aromatic tea that is often used as a coffee substitute. Rooibos is naturally caffeine-free and has less than half the tannins of regular tea so the flavor is mellow an drich without sharp or bitter notes.
Trade in wild Rooibos tea began shortly after 1900, with Rooibos tea cultivation beginning in the 1930's. Rooibos tea is served throughout the world, even in the tea-loving countries of England and Japan. Because the tea is less bitter and slightly sweet on its own, little added sweetening is required making it a good option for those watching their calories. It is also considered to be an excellent thirst-quencher as an iced tea in the warmer months of the year.


text: actually people get mistaken about metal music with your plants. Really it makes them just shoot up really tall and skinny which is why people think it makes them grow faster but no one wants spindly plants. It's not the music they like but the frequency in it. 528 hertz is the frequency that promotes feelings of well being and love in humans as well as plants and animals. Classical music is full of 528 hertz. do some research about that frequncy.. 528love.com

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

re: unicode possibilities
I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.
I don't mind some other language content though.

While its definitely true that things are starting to look up for this filler arc that we've been saddled with, its also true that the improvement is minimal at best. While the setup and overall plot seems to definitely have gotten a face lift, the dialogue and more importantly, the character portrayals are bad to the point of jarring. A lot of this filler seems to scream "delay time" as much as possible, and unlike what Fairy Tail is generally, it seems to be artificially slowing time down.
I think one of Fairy Tail's strengths is how quick the pace is, particularly in terms of battles. Unlike Dragon Ball Z, Bleach or Naruto, the battles in Fairy Tail's manga adapted parts are always over within an episode, maybe two at the max. Whether its due to budget or just the directing style, it definitely keeps things moving at a brisk, swift pace. It is, therefore, extremely painful when Fairy Tail throws in battles that are only meant to delay the plot or even more jarringly, use dialogue to reiterate the same thing several times in an effort to finish the episode.
The scene that really rubbed me the wrong way, was in the last quarter of the episode. Its around the time that Lucy and Al and Bisca's daughter both realize that the Clock Parts weren't meant to be collected. This is precceeded by everyone going: "Hurr? No Clock Parts collection?" followed by "Really? Is that what the villains were doing?" to "No seriously? REALLY?" and finally: "People over think stuff, no worries!".
I don't usually "face-palm" while watching anime, but this was one time that truly merited it happening. Whats sad, is that, much like episoden 139, I can see the anime writers trying to copy the source manga, and failing miserably. Yes, generally Natsu and the rest would say something simple to make Lucy feel better, BUT it would hardly sound as stupid.
Again, to add insult to injury, all the jokes in the episode are very very predictable, and they feel like that one friend who's about to try that same routine that he's been doing forever, that no one laughs at. You watch in horror as the guy gets up and tries the same routine, embarrassing himself. Its sad that that guy is Fairy Tail these days.
Now… While there's a lot of bad stuff to say about the continually bad writing for the dialogue and pacing, what is good is the idea and core concept of the second act of this arc. We have a revived oracion seis, that unlike its old self, is actually fairly powerful and strong, not rely on trickery or illusion, but rather on raw power.
And much to my joy, unlike the Legion, their powers aren't designed to specifically nullify Fairy Tail's. The idea is quite clever actually. Remember all those powers that Oracion Seis were supposed to have but were using some form of magic to acheive? Well they actually have those powers now.
Racer for example, is actually friggin fast instead of using slow magic to slow everyone else around him. Cobra can actually turn sound AGAINST his opponents. Midnight is back, this time as the leader, except he calls himself Brain II (Good God… Anime writers… seriously?). Added to that, we have Angel, who now has some kind of weird Angel magic that can obliterate everyone. Even Erigor has matured in a believable way, having now the power to command storms, not just wind.
The new Oracion Seis is powerful, but they've gone on to enhance and build ontop of the base that the manga setup, which is why they work quite nicely.And you know, in the grand scheme of things, it all makes sense.
While Fairy Tail has been comatose for 7 years, Oracion Seis has built itself up and improved. A more powerful advanced version of Oracion Seis against a 7 year old version of Fairy Tail? Now THAT is a fine idea.
Again, while the dialogue, naming sense and pacing continue to trouble this filler arc, I think things are starting to get better. Whether they continue to get better, or whether Fairy Tail will continue to meander and squander this rather good idea, is really up in the air at this point.
Either way, I'm also back from my long and rather unintended vacation, so its nice to get back into the swing of reviewing Fairy Tail every week.
Seems like we're going to get into some Oracion Seis stuff next week. Also what is the deal with that chick with the Green Plue? See ya all next week! XD

Exodus leaves Oxfordshire patients' watchdog 'falling apart'
11:00am Saturday 21st September 2013 in News By Tom Jennings, covering Witney and West Oxfordshire. Call me on 01865 425403
A NEW patient watchdog has been described as "falling apart before our eyes" after two more members stepped down.
Healthwatch Oxfordshire formed in April, but an election only filled nine of 13 board places and its director has announced she will leave the organisation.
Now, two more board members, Amanda Smithdale and Jamie Miller, have announced they will leave because they cannot commit enough time to the group.
Healthwatch Oxfordshire was set up with a legal duty to hold health and social care bosses on the new GP-led Clinical Commissioning Group to account.
Oxfordshire Rural Communities Council won an interim one-year £320,000 contract using taxpayer cash from Oxfordshire County Council on March 31 to run the group, but it has been beset by difficulties ever since.
Susanna Pressel, a member of the county's joint health overview and scrutiny committee, said: "It's alarming to see how Healthwatch seems to be falling apart before our eyes."
Outgoing director Rosalind Pearce said: "We have had two members of the board stand down. The reason is the work that needs to be done on the board is more than they originally thought it was going to be.
"They are both very busy people and rather than not being able to do it as well as they wanted, they thought it was best to stand down at the beginning.
"It is disappointing, but I respect their decision and thank them for their honesty."
She added: "I do still feel very positive about Healthwatch Oxfordshire and what it is looking to do in the future and what it is getting involved in now."
She joined as its £40,000-a-year director in May – a month after the group formed.
Healthwatch's predecessor, Oxfordshire LINk, championed patients' rights after launching in 2008. It was scrapped when CCGs were set up to run local health services.
Ann Tomline, from Long Wittenham, has put her name forward to fill one of the unfilled board positions.
She said: "Healthwatch should be marvellous, if they can get it going, and going well. It should have some teeth and should be able to actually sort things out if it receives complaints from the public."
Oxford East MP Andrew Smith said: "Hard questions have to be asked about why it is proving so difficult to get this body established on an effective basis.
"I think there is a strong case for county councillors undertaking this role directly, co-opting patient and social care representatives.
"This would save on the extra costs of having this additional body, and would put democratically accountable representatives in the driving seat."
Neither Amanda Smithdale or Jamie Miller was available for comment.
A Department of Health spokesman said: "We have introduced Healthwatch to make sure people have a say about how local health and care services are set up and run. We expect local authorities to make sure Healthwatch is up and running in their area."

Real World Evaluation
We are offering one day, pay per place workshops that aim to share NDTi's grounded experience in designing, conducting and learning from evaluation work. The forthcoming event is as follows:
- Real World Evaluation workshop – Collecting and analysing evaluation data & Using learning to inform change
Ever wondered if and how your work is making a difference? Or whether a service model / approach you've tried in one place will work elsewhere? These questions have never been more pertinent than in the current economic climate. NDTi's approach to evaluation builds on Realist Evaluation methodology, which aims not just to answer 'is this model / service / approach working?' but also 'how is it working?', 'who is it working for?' and 'what are the critical factors that make it work here?.
Over the past 10 years NDTi has developed extensive experience of successfully applying this methodology, at all levels from UK wide programmes to local pilots, to enable a wide variety of clients and partners to gain invaluable understanding about their work.
"The evaluation did what we wanted it to do. It gave us a lot of evidence, a lot more than we had before. Really, really good reports."
"They had a really inclusive manner, which put everyone at their ease. They imparted knowledge, challenged us but in a very skilled and understated way. We often didn't realise we were being moved on!"
(Quotes from previous evaluation clients)
After the successful running of the introductory workshop last January, we are repeating this in May (see dates above). We have also planned some follow up workshops that explore different aspects of evaluation in more depth:
- The morning session will focus on data; Organising, working with and analysing different kinds of data (including methodologies and techniques for collecting, collating, presenting and making sense of different sets of data and information)
- The afternoon session will look at how we use and apply the learning created through evaluations to bring about change. This includes sessions on engaging and working with key partners and stakeholders, creating a learning environment, identifying the big themes and actions needed, and embedding this learning so it is not simply forgotten about once the evaluation has ended.
This day will be invaluable for people who:
- Have a particular piece of evaluation work in mind, or are unsure how to go about evaluating a particular service, programme or activity stream.
- Want to find out more about Realist Evaluation, and how to apply this methodology to their work
- Want to learn from people who practice this on a daily basis and understand the complexities involved.

Do you ever change your mind? My problem is that every time I see another kitchen it gives me an idea for my current one. These drawings and scribblings were refinements I made with Chelsea Hing, my designer, to another option for my kitchen design. Basically it's a minor variation on my current kitchen in that it moves the fridge from my free standing bench and puts it against the wall. The sink remains facing the outer wall and the stovetop moves to the central island. I guess it's a layout that I'm familiar with and seems to be a great option. As Poppy who commented on my original Kitchen design post said, it is a worry that I won't have enough bench space. In the first design I probably did lose a bit and this gives me more. Of course, as soon I settled on this I saw the Noma test kitchen and was won over by some of the cheffy ideas. Next I need to post some inspiration.

They are older than our other Campers and loved by many. *These budget vans have a tonne of miles on the clock, however they are well maintained and come extremely clean. *These vans are reserved only for the hardcore backpacker who likes adventure and doesn't mind roughing it. The Sequoia class is the edgy, American van experience.

They are happiest cruising around the coast and California's national parks. They don't want to be driven hard or do big trips. If you are planning on leaving California or going across high mountain passes and getting some distance under your belt, we highly recommend taking the newer, more modern and just as spacious, Sierra van. *The newer Sierra vans are very similar in size as the Sequoias! The Sequoias look bigger as they are a square shaped van and not as streamlined, however the difference between the two vans is very minimal.
*Regular 2 passenger Sequoia: - 2 front seats, including driver - one comfy, full size bed which converts to an interior dining table and chairs - generous storage room - sink in rear of van with 5 gallon water storage and 5 gallon waste water tank - rear shelving to house all of the included kitchen equipment
*The 5 passenger van - the 'Sequoia 5 seater': - 2 front seats, including driver - rear bench seat which accommodates 3 more passengers; 2 child seats can be easily installed - bench seat converts at night to become part of one comfy, full size bed - generous storage room with included kitchen equipment stored under bed - no interior dining table, sink or water storage in the deluxe 5 passenger van Please see Gallery page for photos of Sequoia, 5 passenger van. Age of vehicles: 2000-2005 Engine: 4.3 Liter, V6, Automatic transmission. Fuel consumption: 16 city / 22 hwy mpg. Dimensions: Length - 16 ft; Width - 6.5 ft; Height - 6.25 ft (plus extra 5 ins with the RV awning). Passengers: Sequoia - 2 seat belts. Sequoia 5 seater- 5 seat belts (perfect for up to 2 child seats). Bed size: Length - 6 ft; Width – 4.5 ft; (with extra space at end of bed to stretch out). Bed size in 5 seater: Same size as regular; it sits a few inches higher in the van. Storage in regular van: Length - 6 ft; Width - 4 ft; Height - 12 ins. (2 large suitcases should fit but doors reduce accessibility – soft bags or backpacks recommended) Storage area in 5 seater: Length - 4 ft; Width - 4 ft; Height – 1.6 ft (A few suitcases will fit as this unit has better accessibility & other places for storage -soft bags or backpacks still recommended as more will fit) Extras: Air-conditioning, 3x12v cigarette lighters, Tinted Windows, Stereo w/CD player (most have MP3 plug), No advertising!
*Our Wanderer van is our most basic (but still awesome!) Sleepervan *2 front seats, including driver *One super comfortable, full size bed *Most have sliding doors on both sides of the vehicle *This van has a little less headroom (only a tiny bit less!) than our other 2 classes *The front driver's cabin is modern and spacious enough, even for the tall folk *The storage area under the bed is also a decent size *This van is easy to drive, handles well and feels like you are driving a regular car *Just a little older than our Sierra class but in great shape & well maintained. Great for all kinds of trips! *Comfortable setup - no interior dining table, sink or water storage Age of vehicles: 2000-2007 Engine: 3.8 Liter, V6, Automatic transmission. Fuel consumption: 17 city / 23 hwy mpg. Dimensions: Length - 16.7 ft; Width - 6.4 ft; Height - 5.5 ft (plus an extra 5 ins with the RV awning). Passengers: 2 (2 front seats only, no room to install child seat). Bed size: Length - 6 ft; Width - 4 ft; (with extra space at end of bed to stretch out). Storage under bed: Length - 6 ft; Width - 4 ft; Height - 12 ins. (A large suitcase or 2 may fit but doors reduce accessibility – soft bags or backpacks recommended) Extras: Air-conditioning, 2x12v cigarette lighters, Tinted Windows, Stereo w/CD player (most have MP3 plug), No advertising!
If you are planning a lengthy trip, we will require you to check and maintain the essential oils and waters to ensure proper vehicle operation. Parts of America can be extreme! If you are considering doing a large amount of miles, the newer Sierra Class is highly recommended.

Why are western people afraid of xPRimenting eastern culture?
It is a question we are planning to answer using a slightly different approach. Sibiu was only promoted for being the Cultural Capital of Europe in 2007, but that is not everything that a tourist might want to know. Therefore we use the audience development method to find all the interests that are directed to our city and try to solve these problems.
In this project you will find information about museums, gastronomy, sports, history and anything you might be looking for when visiting a new city. We have tried to cover all aspects that are usually left behind.

Whey Factors®
High Protein Formula Powder
Feature summary
Considered the "gold standard" for athletes and the physically fit, it is well-known that whey protein has the highest biological value, a measurement of how well a protein retains nitrogen, or how usable it is to the body. High nitrogen absorption enhances muscle gain.
The most well researched aspect of whey is its benefit to the immune system. High in the amino acid, cysteine, Whey Factors enhances the immune system by raising levels of the important antioxidant glutathione; critical to proper immune functioning. Compromised immunity is associated with a long list of diseases. Glutathione stimulates antibody production and phagocytosis, increases beneficial enzyme production, and has antitumour activity. Also involved in detoxification, glutathione binds to fat-soluble toxins, such as heavy metals, solvents, and pesticides, transforming them into a water-soluble form, allowing for excretion via the kidneys.
Whey Factors also enhances intestinal immunity by resisting pathogens. Certain parts of whey act as prebiotics, substances that promote the growth of beneficial bifidobacteria and lactobacilli.
Whey Factors is also an effective weight loss aid. Protein generally increases satiety (the sense of fullness) more than fat, thereby decreasing total calorie intake. The body requires more energy to digest protein, so it burns more calories after a high-protein meal. Whey is also rich in leucine, an essential amino acid that may preserve lean muscle mass while promoting fat loss.
Unlike red meat, Whey Factors provides high quality protein concentrate without the cholesterol-raising saturated fats. As well, bioactive components in Whey Factors help balance cholesterol levels, protect against hypertension by inhibiting platelet aggregation and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE).

Clarke out of the final ODI against West Indies |
Bangalore, 2013/04/19 08:16:13 , |
Cricket Australia announced that Shane Watson, who made a return in the third ODI, will lead the team at the MCG while Shaun Marsh has been added to the squad as cover. Clarke will not travel to Melbourne, instead will remain in Sydney to work on his recovery before leaving for India on February 12.
"Michael Clarke has had his right hamstring assessed by team medical staff following the game and the team physiotherapist has confirmed that Michael has stiffness in the right hamstring. While there is no cause for alarm, Michael will not now travel to Melbourne for the fifth ODI on Sunday, as a precaution," a CA spokesman said.
"He will leave for Chennai on the tour of India on 12 February, as planned. Shane Watson will captain Australia in the fifth ODI vs the West Indies at the MCG on Sunday. Shaun Marsh has been added to the ODI squad and will travel to Melbourne tomorrow ahead of Game 5 at the MCG."

mako with mako in the mako on a mako
this is exactly what that is.
ok a year later and i'm still mad so here's a post
why couldn't Tenzin have been a woman why couldn't Noatak have been a woman why couldn't Tarrlok have been a woman why couldn't Tahno have been a woman why is the OWL full of men what if Asami's father had died instead why did they stuff the narrative full of men who seek to control or intrude on Korra's life and her space and abuse and harass her why why why why!!
in other news, the gender dynamics in lok are my actual least favorite part of the entire narrative by a long stretch.
the only dude who gets a pass here is Mako because he plays a traditionally female role as a passive love interest being actively pursued, down to his design and fanservice moments, and I appreciate the reversal going on here (and i guess Bolin too, but that's…. because he does nothing)

Most "herbal" of the malts
Here's a question: Which of the single malts would you consider the most
herbal in nose and taste? |
Lowland malts are considered to be 'herbal' (I had to refresh my memory!) - although there aren't too many - actually just two working distilleries. You have Auchentoshan and Glenkinchie. I also see Johnnie Walker Green (a pure malt) as being 'herbal' - but I'd have to check on whether Glenkinchie contributes (Glenkinchie & Johnnie Walker are both owned by Diageo).
Thank you!
Thank you again. I have been a bit intrigued with the "herbal" type in single malts.
Most Herbal...
Some of the ones that I think are "herbal":
Cragganmore 12yr Johnnie Walker Green Dalwhinnie 15yr Glenfarclas 12yr I would like to try Tamnavulin 12yr, but I do not know if it is **** in the US. Also I would like to try Auchentoshan and Glenkinchie. |

Hi, (not you?) | Member Center | Sign Out
Posted: 6:51 a.m. Monday, Feb. 11, 2013
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. —
Former Republican Party of Florida chairman Jim Greer pleaded guilty to theft and money laundering just before jury selection in his criminal trial got under way.
Jury selection was set to begin Monday, but neither Greer nor prosecutors appeared in the courtroom. The only sign of Greer's presence in the Orange County Courthouse were his wife and infant daughter.
Greer had earlier pleaded not guilty to allegations that he funneled almost $200,000 of party money into a company he had formed with his right-hand man.
Greer said party leaders were aware of the company and that his prosecution is political payback. Sentencing is March 27 and he faces up to 35 years in prison.
Greer didn't say anything to WFTV as he walked out of court. His attorney said it was in the best interest of his family that he accepts the plea deal.
"Once again, Mr. Greer is falling on the sword for a lot of people," said Greer's lawyer.
The plea deal will keep high-profile politicians, including former Gov. Charlie Crist from taking the stand.
Greer said Crist knew about his private company and the money.
But an attorney for the Republican Party told Channel 9 it was happy to see Greer admit guilt and that it had had little to do with the plea deal.
Statement from RPOF Executive Director Mike Grissom:
"Today, Jim Greer, the man Charlie Crist personally picked to lead the Republican Party of Florida, admitted his guilt to five felony charges. For the past three years, Jim Greer has tried to damage the reputation of the Republican Party and its leaders, but the truth is now known that Jim Greer broke the law, stole from RPOF and our donors, and then said and did everything he could to cover up and distract attention from his crimes. Everything Jim Greer has said and done over these past few years should be considered in that light."

John Conlee nominated for Best Featured Actor in a Musical
DANVILLE, KYGraduation ceremonies won't be the only exciting event taking place for the Centre community June 3. That evening Centre graduate John Ellison Conlee will take part in the Tony Awards at Radio City Music Hall in New York as he is a nominee for Best Featured Actor in a Musical.
Conlee, a 1990 graduate of Centre, is recognized for his role in the Broadway Show "The Full Monty," based on the 1997 comedic movie about unemployed British steelworkers stripping for cash. Conlee plays Dave Bukatinsky , an overweight steel worker who is eventually convinced to bare it all following a hilarious chain of events.
"The Full Monty" has received 10 Tony nominations. The 32-year-old Conlee, a native of Atlanta, was thrilled.
"I'm so happy for everyone," he said. "It's exciting to have all these people I work with be nominated, and it is exciting for me to be nominated. It's all good stuff!"
As a dramatic actor, Conlee has performed in several plays for the New York Shakespeare Festival. He appeared in numerous productions during his days at Centre, including "What the Butler Saw" and "Birthday Party."
The 55th annual Tony Awards will be hosted by Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane. Presenters will include Glenn Close, Edie Falco and Sigourney Weaver. The show will air live on CBS and PBS at 9 p.m.
