Horne vs. Rotellini Attorney General debate back on tonight
Wednesday, September 8th, 2010The "on again, off again" Attorney General candidate debate is back on again tonight.
Just got phone call confirmation that this previously debate between Attorney General candidates Tom Horne (R) and Felecia Rotellini (D) is back on. It was previously scheduled as an Arizona Citizens Clean Election Commission debate, but was canceled in early September when the 2 winners were found not to be participating in "clean" elections, and both running traditionally. So then if was off, but now it's back on as a regular Horizon KAET Channel 8 debate to be moderated by Ted Simons.
See website: http://www.azpbs.org/vote2010/, which has other recent debates online as well.
After the Gubernatorial September 1st debate, the video of that debate was posted online a few hours after 7 p.m. So Tucson and Southern Arizona viewers stay tuned. It may be telecast elsewhere live, but I don't have that information as yet.
9/9/10 UPDATE: video online here:http://www.azpbs.org/vote2010/index.php?vidId=2364#video
Viewers, let me know what you think of these 2 attorneys after tonight's debate. See my previous blog announcing Horne's victory over Andrew Thomas a week after the Primary– with photos & campaign websites (click here.)
Current Attorney General Terry Goddard (D) is running for Governor.

Infiniti EX35
POSTED: Monday, June 18, 2012 - 5:24pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, June 20, 2012 - 5:38pm
The Infiniti EX 35 is an interesting mix. It isn't quite a car, and it isn't
quite a ute. Would it be fair to call it a cute?
Maybe not, but is certainly a striking crossover, looking like absolutely
nothing else on the road. The smooth shape is shared with its big brother, the
FX 50, which has a 390 horsepower V8 and a 0-60 time of 5 seconds. But, why? The
297-horsepower, 3.5-liter V6 in the EX 35, is plenty to get you where you want
to go and uses a little less precious Middle Eastern go-juice in the bargain.
Now, to be fair, the EX is a bit pricey, coming to just under $40,000 for our
all-wheel-drive model, but look at it, for crying out loud. Every penny shows.
Our test car had all the bells and whistles.
That means the gorgeous interior has heated and cooled leather seats and a
keyless ignition, which just involves just dropping the keys in the console and
then pressing the start button. Then, there's the 360-degree camera, which
allows you to see little things, or little puppies walking around the car out of
sight. A special warning system alerts you every time you cross over the painted
lines in your lane of the road. It is annoying in the extreme, and you end up
turning it off immediately.
On the road, the EX 35 is solid, and fast. 60 miles per hour comes up in 7.1
seconds, and top speed is 142. You'll average around 19 miles per gallon, which
frankly stinks. But the car is so much fun to drive, you won't care much.
So whether you call the Infiniti EX 35 a car or a truck, you simply have to call
it terrific.

Are you sick of being forced to end your sexual intercourse after it has just begun? I know how you feel, because I used to suffer from premature ejaculation. Just when it would start getting really good, I would ejaculate and it's all over. My woman told me it is okay, but deep inside I knew she wanted a long-lasting sex. In this article I am going to share a powerful way to naturally re-condition your body and brain to have prolonged ejaculations. But first let's look at what causes premature ejaculation.
PE is caused by various psychological issues and incorrect conditioning. Typical psychological issue would be performance anxiety, when man is not confident about his sexual performance and has negative thoughts about ejaculation before and during the intercourse. Incorrect conditioning is usually caused by bad masturbation habits, such as rushed and quick masturbations. Many of us rush our masturbations, because we got conditioned to do so from adolescence, when we were scared of being caught.
How to Stop Premature Ejaculation
A great way to stop premature ejaculation is to instil masturbation habits that are beneficial to improving sexual stamina. Gradually these habits will completely re-wire your brain and body for long-lasting sex. All you need to do is follow these rules:
1) Always urinate before sex or masturbation.
2) Ensure there is plenty of time available for masturbation and no one is going to disturb you.
3) Clear your mind and stay calm
4) Use lubricant. You do not want to condition your penis to ejaculate from being stroked with a rough hand.
5) Relax your muscles and breathe deep
6) Masturbate as normal until you feel you are going to ejaculate within next 45 seconds. Stop and wait until the urge goes away. Resume masturbation when your arousal level is under control.
7) Repeat above step 5-7 times every time you masturbate and aim at making your masturbation sessions at least 45 minutes long.
If you consistently practice the above steps every time you masturbate, you will see great results in a matter of weeks and stop your premature orgasms in no time.
]]>In this post I'm going to briefly discuss a few things about breathing and how it affects when you ejaculate. I'm also going to go over a an extremely effective breathing technique that can be used to lower arousal and therefore delay ejaculation.
Developing better control over your breathing and paying close attention to it will give you a better sense of control over your entire body and arousal level. It's no wonder that virtually every form of focused meditation or other disciplines, such as Kung Fu, involve developing control over breathing. It's even been demonstrated that breathing can affect your overall health.
I recommend taking some time each day to perform some meditative breathing exercises. They will improve your energy, feeling of well-being, and serotonin production (which directly affects when you ejaculate).
Most men make the critical mistake of taking short fast breaths during sex. Breathing like this gets your heart pumping faster and makes you overexcited and aroused too quickly. This results in early ejaculation because it causes an abundant release of hormones and a rapid rise in arousal level.
You will last longer in bed by simply paying attention to your breathing and breathing slower. Always maintain slow, semi-deep breathing throughout the entire session. It's especially critical to do this right from the beginning. If you wait until the last second it will be much harder to reverse the situation.
Here is a quick breathing technique you can use if you're getting too close to ejaculation.
*Triangular Breathing
This type of breathing technique is used in Yoga and other similar types of meditation. Its purpose is to bring about a deep level of calmness and relaxation. As for premature ejaculation, it helps because it can relieve performance anxiety and lower your arousal to a level that's easier to control. In addition, it will keep you calm and increase serotonin production.
How to do triangular breathing (it can be done while having sex):
1. Inhale for 3 seconds.
2. Pause and hold for 3 seconds.
3. Exhale for 3 seconds.
4. Instantly start over.
It's that simple.
As you can see, with this technique you are breathing at equal intervals, and you're doing it three times. It's like a triangle, which has three equal sides; hence, triangular breathing.
In regards to the 3 seconds, this was just an example. You can choose an interval of whatever you prefer. Choose an interval that is comfortable and works for you personally.
Starting out, you will probably count the seconds in your head as you breathe. Eventually, you'll get the hang of it so you don't have to. Sometimes though, when arousal or excitement goes a little too far, it's a good idea to count the seconds and focus solely on the breathing, as this will help relax you and temporarily take your mind off the arousal.
At first most people would probably think this technique and breath control in general wouldn't do much in regards to lasting longer, but honestly you should really give this a try. I think you will be quite surprised with the results. You will feel a lot more in control and your arousal will stay in check much easier.
You're not alone...
In fact, you're very far from alone.
Statistics show premature ejaculation is a regular problem for 20-40% of all men.
So at any time, 2-4 men out of 10 are suffering... and suffering regularly.
Even though it feels like you've got some kind of terrible disease and it's all your fault, it's really not.
Chances are that medically, there's nothing wrong with you.
First thing which requires your attention is increasing foreplay. Do not insert you penis directly into your partner's vagina straight away. These activities make her assume that you are just with her in bed for the fulfillment of your lust and do not care about her satisfaction and pleasure. If you want to have great sex and long lasting relation with your partner then you will have to take your partner's arousal to higher state. After achieving this state, hit the hot spot and then you will see in her eyes that what actually you have done to her.
Secondly, you must be an expert in masturbation. Men who can control their releasing speed got this art with the good practice of masturbation. With the help of masturbation, you can determine your feelings and sensations and allow yourself to control them accordingly. To get an expertise level some practice is required and you will get rid of this dysfunction. If you do not find any improvement after practicing masturbation then it is recommended to consult some endowed doctor.
Thirdly, you must recognize the body signals, means to say that when you are about to climax, your body sends you the signals about it. When you feel that they are getting to extreme, pull you penis out of your partner and wait for some time and then again, go for the sexual intercourse. This technique will allow you to last longer in bed.
Forth and the most worthy technique is kegel exercise. This exercise allows you to strengthen your PC muscles which actually control you activity of sex. With strong PC muscle, you can be able control climax as required. Many ebooks are available which contain all the information as well as demonstrations about this exercise. The exercise is quite easy and you don't need to go anywhere to guide you.
Fifth technique is tickling and stroking and found to be the most effective one. These activities are done while masturbation. In this method, you have to stroke your penis downwards and then upwards continually when you are actually concentrating on the highly sensitive areas. Do not let the premature ejaculation feelings overcome you and keep on stroking and tickling penis till you really feel that now it's the time to let the cum out.
If you have premature ejaculation problem, then you can be your own doctor you are the right person to help yourself. If you stick to the above remedies, you can enjoy a lasting sexual life pounded with love, pleasures and fun.
The information you find on pills, potions, creams and sprays may work temporarily, but they are simply in the moment fixes, they do not get to the root of the problem. Eventually, these temporary fixes will stop working and you will still be faced with not knowing how to stop premature ejaculation.
How Long Is Long Enough?
Most experts agree that premature ejaculation is defined by a man ejaculating within the first two minutes of intercourse or ejaculating before intercourse begins. Couples base their definition on the satisfaction of each partner. It takes a woman around ten minutes to reach climax so her definition may vary based on whether she feels efficiently satisfied or not.
It is very important to discuss with your partner to find out what her expectations are in the bedroom. By opening a dialogue with her, you will establish trust with her and show her that you value her input, she will know that how she feels and is feeling in bed is just as important as what you are feeling.
Do Positions Matter?
Positions are important when trying to figure out how to stop premature ejaculation. There are certain positions that will help you to last longer in bed and there are other positions that will accelerate the process. Most experts agree that having the woman on top during intercourse will allow the man to have more control and in that position, will help the man to feel and know how to stop premature ejaculation.
If you and your partner prefer to switch positions a lot during intercourse, you may find that slowing your thrusting motion down will help to last longer in bed. Leading into her with deep slow thrusts instead of shallow fast ones will help keep your body in control and allow you some more time before ejaculating.
Breathing is Important!
Believe it or not, your breathing technique is extremely important in helping you figure out how to stop premature ejaculation. You can start well before you have intercourse by taking some deep breaths throughout the day. This will help calm your entire system down and help you to focus.
In order to take full effect of a great breathing technique, breath in for 3 seconds, hold it for 3 seconds, then exhale through your mouth for 3 seconds. Repeat this a few times and you will feel yourself relax and will bring more focus to your head.
What Next?
While the tips listed above are great "in the moment" fixes, in order to fully teach yourself how to stop premature ejaculation forever, you will need to re-program your body. While this sounds like an overwhelming task, it is easy if you follow some simple steps.
The first way I was able to teach myself how to stop premature ejaculation is that I discovered and learned how to control my body. In the privacy of my own home, I was able to teach myself to re-wire my individual responses in order to control when I ejaculated - every single time.
In doing so, I was able to uncover my sexual triggers and found out how to manage them as well as use them to work in my favor. I used certain exercises to help and found that it was not as hard as I thought it would be. The exercises were fast and easy to learn how to stop premature ejaculation and I saw real results immediately.
Of course there is a ton of information on how to stop premature ejaculation, but there is one treatment that has worked the best for me. A program called the ejaculation trainer has been the most successful for me. The thing that I liked most about this training program is that I saw immediate results and was able to complete the training in the comfort of my own home.
Watch Your Diet and Avoid Sex Enhancing Drugs
The food that you eat really matters if you want to improve your sex life. A balanced diet means that your body will be healthy and able to perform all functions normally, sex being included. You should avoid eating junk food and taking lots of alcoholic drinks and soft drinks. Instead, you should ensure that your diet constitutes of foods that give you energy such as vegetables and proteins.
A healthy approach towards overcoming premature ejaculation is the best option. Drugs that enhance sex have long-term side effects such as problems related with having or maintaining an erection. Such side effects become more problematic and difficult to handle in future. Rely on methods that do not involve any chemical compounds to improve your sexual ability.
Teasing Your Penis and Strengthening Your Muscles
In this method, masturbation is involved. You masturbate till the moment you are about to reach orgasm, then you stop. This way, you are able to delay an ejaculation from taking place, and the body adapts to the delay. After moments of teasing yourself, the partner should also tease you in this manner before the actual act of sex. After many times of trying to delay ejaculation, you will be able to control the ejaculation whenever having sex with your partner.
Lots of masculine activity is involved during sex. Pelvic muscles are involved when ejaculating. When strengthened, these muscles make sex last longer as an erection can be maintained for long before reaching an orgasm. These muscles can be strengthened by exercising. You can easily do this by trying to squeeze and relaxing your muscles while taking deep breathes. You should also ensure that you maintain a healthy weight.
Control Your Breathing and Try Out Different Sex Styles
Breathing is usually involved in ejaculation. Whenever you feel you are about to ejaculate, do not hold your breath. Just ensure that you continue breathing and relax your muscles. When muscles are relaxed, an erection can be maintained longer, and a premature ejaculation can be delayed. Whenever you hold your breath, blood and oxygen fail to circulate properly leading to problems related with the inability to hold back an orgasm.
When you have problems with premature ejaculation, you should opt for different sex styles. The sex styles should be those that do not require too much involvement of muscle activity. You should try making out when the woman is on top rather than you being on top. Styles that involve both of you to lying on your sides are also recommended. When both of you are on your knees with the man on top and the woman underneath, premature ejaculation can be overcome.
Ejaculation involves lots of brain activity. When you are anxious about a sexual encounter, chances are that you will ejaculate sooner than expected. This is due to the brain being stimulated faster than normal so that an orgasm takes place sooner than expected. Stress or depression might also lead to problems related with ejaculation. You should be mentally relaxed and with no worries about your ejaculation problems prior to sex. However, if all these tips do not give you a solution, chances are that you may be suffering from a medical condition that might lead to premature ejaculation. At such a point, it is better to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
It comes down to identifying some potential causes of premature ejaculation and finding fast answers to those problems. If you are one of those men who suffer from these common problems, then you could potentially stop premature ejaculation, or at least drastically improve your condition. If none of these conditions are found to affect you, then you may need to look for other alternatives to last longer in bed.
Medication Side Effects
Some medications cause men to last longer in bed, while others cause men to last shorter periods of time in bed. If you are taking any prescription medications or over-the-counter medications and supplements, do some research into the potential side effects. You may find that you are taking something that can be causing at least part of your problem.
Note that in some cases it takes time for your body to get all of the medication out of your system once you stop taking it. If you are taking a prescription medication with this side effect, you should consult with the doctor writing the script to discuss alternative medications that do not come with this side effect. Once you have made the switch, it can take some time for your body to eliminate the original drug and start to improve functioning during romantic encounters.
Injury to the Nervous System
Nerve problems and defects can cause premature ejaculation, or increase the severity of this condition. If you have suffered injuries that may have affected your nervous system in the past, it may be a good idea to visit a doctor and see if it could be related to this problem. You may not be able to overcome your damage and completely stop premature ejaculation, but you will at least understand what is behind the problem. There may even be some things you can do to improve your condition some.
Prostate Issues
Infections or other issues in the prostate can cause early ejaculation problems. Older men may be more at risk for prostate problems, but this can be a problem for men of any age. This is something you can have checked out by a doctor just to make sure it isn't something you could be suffering from, or which may have an easy answer.
There are some professionals who believe premature ejaculation could be related to psychiatric disorders, but that is not something that most men have to worry about. It is a good idea to go through a complete medical evaluation if you want to stop premature ejaculation. This is the only way to rule out medical problems that may be contributing to the early discharge.
If you want last 30 minutes longer in bed and stop premature ejaculation permanently, there is a proven and step-by-step system to help you do it. It works for all men...
If you have ever had an episode of premature ejaculation, imagine having it all of the time. Each and every time you have sex with your partner, you cannot control your orgasm. Sounds terrible doesn't it? Well it is the reality for a lot of men in the world. A lot of men cannot last long enough in bed each and every time they have sex. If you are one of those men, you need a solution.
The biggest mistake you could make in finding a treatment is to resort to medications. They simply do not work. They are fabricated pills that are all about false promises. You are a healthy man. You do not need to fill your body up with this garbage. It is just a waste of both your time and your money and you don't need to have your hopes crushed anymore.
Lasting longer in bed is all about retraining your body and your mind. You need to change the way you go about sex in order to make your orgasms last longer. For instance, you can practice during masturbation. If you are on the verge, then start thinking of something to distract you. When you get good at controlling your orgasm, then you will be able to become a great lover- no medication required.
Do you finish before your partner?
Lasting longer can not only impress your partner, but can give you maximum satisfaction as well. You see, most women don't have an orgasm for 12-15 minutes. If you only last two, then you are cheating her & yourself as well. There are a couple of ways that will help you last longer in bed.
The easiest ways are either to wear a condom or use a de-sensitizing cream or spray. Yes, you will last longer in bed but you will also sacrifice some of the wonderful sensations you would otherwise experience. Some men will even masturbate before they have a hot date in order to try to last longer when the need arises. While this may work for some men, it's not always in your best interest. Again, it may not feel as good when you have a second ejaculation & you might not even make it to intercourse on your date.
How can you last longer without sacrificing feeling?
The secret is to strengthen the PC (pubococcygeal) muscle. This is the muscle group that controls the flow of urine. Start & stop the flow several times & you will have that muscle isolated. Practice contracting the PC muscle whenever you can & you will develop the ability to control your ejaculation much better. Also, you can masturbate slowly & stop when you feel like ejaculation is coming. Be sure to give yourself plenty of time so that you don't reach the point of no-return. Try to exercise this muscle during sex to develop ultimate control.
The easiest way to strengthen the PC muscle is by doing penis enlargement exercises or using a penis device. Both are very effective in strengthening this muscle & allowing you to last longer in bed. The whole idea is to last longer & still be able to fully enjoy the wonderful feelings of sex. That's why using a device and/or exercises is by far the best option. It's the best of both worlds. The beauty of this technique is that you will also gain penis size permanently.
In fact, both methods are clinically proven to add penis size & help you last longer in bed. The devices are a little bit more than exercises but allow for the biggest & fastest gains in overall penis size. In fact, any penis enlargement system that's worth a hoot has a device as the main component then adds penis enlargement exercises to augment the gains & the speed at which they will come.
Look, let's be honest: As we've discussed on MANY previous occasions, the ONLY real way for a woman to achieve continuous and satisfying orgasms from conventional sex (i.e. - intercourse..:-) is if her man LASTS long enough to make it happen.
There is NO bigger orgasmic enemy for a woman than a man who has no staying power...and many of us will admit that it takes FAR more than the average amount of time (7 minutes is the norm) to regularly achieve orgasm. Let's examine a few simple things you can do to amp this UP, and do it in a hurry! Read on..:-)
Filed Under: The Devious (but Delicious) Approach..:-0
Want to know what will accelerate her orgasms, accentuate her eroticism and STILL allow you some flexibility in terms of endurance? Lots and LOTS of attention, affection and foreplay..:-) There is simply NOTHING that will bring her body to a boil faster than lots of focused energy on HER before you begin.
Filed Under: Mind Over Matter
This is a PROVEN relationship from the standpoint of sex and endurance, and something you CAN master if you try. The key is to simply allow your mind to go elsewhere when you feel an orgasm imminent, and with a little bit of practice, this can easily add lots of extra time to the mix for both of you.
Filed Under: Kegel Exercises
There is a well established relationship between the PC muscle in the pelvis, and orgasmic control. Doing elevation exercises that strengthen this muscle is a dead simple way to improve your ejaculatory response, give HER the time of her life, AND add extra humph to your size to boot!
1. Minimize the stimulation to the head of your penis
The head of your penis is the most sensitive part of your body, stimulation to this place leads to climax easily. For men you should reduce stimulation in this area and give less friction.
2. A condom helps delay ejaculation
Condom reduces your sensitivity to friction and stimulation's. Avoiding extra-thin condoms is the only thing you have to pay attention to. By the way using a condom also protects you from potential diseases.
3. Enter from her back
It's a very effective way to delay ejaculation because in this position you can't enter very deep into her body. In fact, it's the same with the first method and both of them aims at reducing friction.
4. Change your position
Do not stick to the same position you are used to. Change different ones when having sex with your partner. Changing positions give you a break when you are reaching orgasm and this definitely make you last long in bed.
5. Learn to control during masturbating
Actually you can also practice it when having sex with your partner. When you are masturbating, stop before you almost reach orgasm and start again. Do this several times (but not too many) during masturbating and then it's more possible to success in bed.
6. Use a cock ring to help
Cock ring helps slow down your blood flow in your penis and thus your ejaculation is delayed. As for cock rings, any type will do but I strongly recommend couple rings. This kind of cock rings can be used by both you and your partner at the same time, which brings double pleasure during sex.
]]>One of the best known methods to last longer in bed are ejaculation delaying sprays. These sprays are anesthetic and will make your penis feel numb - thus prolonging your ejaculation. Unfortunately, a numb penis means that you're not going to get any pleasure from sex at all. Moreover, because you can't feel anything you'll always be looking for getting some pleasure during sex - and this will make your performance worse when unsprayed. And probably the worst thing about those sprays is that the anesthetic passes from your penis to your girl's vagina, and it numbs her too. This beats the main purpose of lasting longer in bed.
But, with the proper exercises, you can prolong your ejaculation healthily:
* Extended masturbation: First let's talk about the PC muscle. The PC muscle contracts during physical penile stimulation, and it brings the semen closer to the tip of the penis and finally makes you ejaculate. Now, the method goes like this: You stimulate your penis with your hand, but do not think about sex. That way, you can go on masturbating for hours, but not ejaculate. This is what you exactly need. Since by penile stimulation, whether you think about sex or not, the PC muscle contracts, by extended masturbation you are training your muscle to contract for a long time without ejaculation. And when time for real sex comes, this will make you last longer in bed.
There are exercises for exact control over your PC muscle - and those, combined with different specific exercises you can perform with your hands; can also permanently increase the blood flow to your penis during erection. This will result in your penis getting bigger, and this will mean that you will make your girl reach a quicker orgasm.
Lasting longer in bed - three times more sensualization and pleasure on your penis - enhancing your penis size - driving women crazy.
Those four are connected - all four are to do with increasing blood flow to the penis. Want to learn how, with some 100% guaranteed and 100% natural method?
]]>One of the most popular reasons for premature ejaculation is lack of sexual experience even with self stimulation. This type of premature ejaculation occurs when the person is unable to manage the barrage of sensations that sex brings and can't hold it any longer right after the penis is stimulated. Over time, as the person goes through a lot of orgasms, they can easily train themselves to recognize the signs of ejaculation and effectively manage it. Masturbation is a big help with regards to combating premature ejaculation. By concentrating on the signals all over the body while they stimulate themselves, premature ejaculators can effectively recognize the signs when ejaculation is imminent and slow down accordingly.
A tried and tested tip for those who look for short term solutions to premature ejaculations is the concept of "cleaning the pipes". Cleaning the pipes means follows the theory that once the man achieves the first orgasm of the night, they have effectively "cleaned their pipes" and can now better manage their ejaculations on the consequent rounds. Masturbating half an hour before you expect sex with your partner can help you prolong your ejaculation and achieve orgasm when you finally have sex. You can either go through the "cleaning the pipes" process on your own or make it part of your sexual activity with your partner. You can bring each other to their respective first orgasms of the night through other means of stimulation as a "cleaning the pipes" ritual before having actual sexual intercourse.
Another short term solution for premature ejaculation is desensitizing the penis. Oversensitivity is another popular reason for premature ejaculation. Some penises are just so sensitive that the slightest caress can already induce an explosion of sensations for them. There are a lot of ways that a penis can be desensitized. The easiest is by using a condom. By limiting the contact of the skin of the penis with the vaginal walls, the sensitivity can be reduced significantly. If one condom is not enough to desensitize the penis, double bagging or triple bagging will help. If you want to limit sensation to your penis, its best to buy ribbed or thick condoms instead of thin ones. Aside from condoms, special desensitizing creams can be used to limit sensation to the penis. These creams can deaden the sensation on the skin of the penis and help one last a long time. Desensitizing should only be done if you want to bring your partner to orgasm without having to worry about your own orgasm.
Aside from these three tips, there are also other ways that can help men learn how to last longer in bed. There are a lot of resources online that they can check out in order to learn about these methods, strategies and tips.

Just after 7 p.m., firefighters arrived to the two-story home on Jefferson Township Lane to find heavy smoke and flames, said Tim Cavender, spokesman for Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services.
Cavender said the 69-year-old female resident was in the house when a thunderstorm came through the area and a lightning bolt struck the home.
"She immediately went down to the basement to check for damage and a neighbor went around the house to look for damage, too," Cavender said. "Both couldn't find any signs of smoke or fire."
The woman told officials her smoke detector went off about five to 10 minutes later and smoke quickly filled her kitchen. She said she immediately retrieved her 75-year-old husband from the front porch to get to safety and call 911.
Cavender said the fire caused extensive fire, smoke and water damage to the home.
No injuries were reported and the county fire investigator is investigating the scene, Cavender said.

And so the next morning, instead of greeting the rabbi in her bathrobe, Irene insisted on getting dolled up. She couldn't stand or walk on her own, so Dawn, her Jamaican angel aide, carried her to the bathroom and helped her with her makeup. But that was as far as my mother got before her energy simply gave out. She toppled over into the easy chair by the hospital bed, her mouth slack, eyes shut, softly snoring.
I knew how much she wanted to see Gary again, so I tried to rouse her, without success. The rabbi talked to her, too, and said a blessing, but she didn't respond to him either. My mother seemed to have slipped into a realm that was beyond sleep but this side of death. After several minutes, Hugh, together with Dawn and Gary, lifted her onto the hospital bed. She never awoke again.
In a way, her retreat could not have been more perfectly Irene. My mother used up every last atom of her awe-inspiring, superhuman energy reserves to make herself look pretty for the rabbi.
As I kept vigil at her bedside over the next week, I realized that it didn't matter anymore what she and I called each other. Mother or daughter, those roles were done. Finished.
She was just Irene, a woman being swept away by the current that sooner or later takes us all. This was her story, her passage, and I was her witness. It was the first time I really saw her as a separate person—rather than one who existed only in relation to me—and somehow, during the hours I spent by her side not trying to do anything except be present, something came unhooked. All the things we fought over—my ripped jeans and wild hair, her ridiculous pretensions, my bad boyfriends and so-called irresponsible ways, her yearning for a daughter who would reflect her back to herself, my longing for a mother who would see me as I really am—seemed as insubstantial as a wisp of smoke.
I buried her in the leopard chiffon.

He uses a variety of materials on both the large and small scale. Franzolini's work epitomizes the integrity, the technical innovation and the ingenious forms for which Italian design has long been admired. In addition to his pictorial research, he spreads his commitment between architecture and industrial design fields and over the years he has been collaborating with some of the most prestigious companies in the furniture industry such as Cappellini, Foscarini, Knoll International, Moroso, Pallucco.

A New Look For Hearts and Flowers
Filed under: Decor
The stylized heart that festoons Valentine's Day cards bears little resemblance to the truth beating inside your chest. Esque has created a new glass vase that strips away the illusion. It's pretty, it's just a different kind of pretty than what you are used to. The vase, which is designed and produced in oregon by justin parker and andi kovel, is part of a limited edition of 200 numbered and signed vases and sells for $450. It's striking but I wonder what sort of flowers could work in a vase like this.

My dad has an industrial recycling business. Basically he's just like all the other dumpster services, but instead of just bringing everything to the dump, he sorts all the material and brings them to different places instead of just straight to the dump. He's got special dump trucks that use a European hoist system.
He is also very well rounded when it comes to maintenance and working on engines, but he's old school. He does all his own maintenance on the heavy diesel equipment at his work.

Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this monograph on the rules on immigration and right of residence of non-nationals in the USA examines the legal and administrative conditions for persons not having the citizenship of a State to enter the country and to stay and reside there. It provides a survey of the subject that is both usefully brief and sufficiently detailed to answer most questions likely to arise in any pertinent legal setting. It follows the common structure of all monographs appearing in the International Encyclopaedia for Migration Law, thus allowing easy comparison between the country studies. As migration and economic activities are often interlinked, the analysis pays particular attention to labour market access and regulation of self-employed activities for non-nationals. The book describes the status of such specific categories of persons as students, researchers, temporary workers, and asylum seekers, as well as the position of family members, detailing applicable legislation and providing practical information on administrative procedures, sanctions, and legal remedies and guarantees. The impact of international human rights law and various bilateral and multilateral agreements is considered, along with the broader application of national and local law to non-citizens in such areas as family relations, labour, social security, and education. Lawyers, scholars, practitioners, policymakers, government administrations, and non-governmental organizations involved in the development, practice and study of migration law will find this book indispensable. It will be welcomed by lawyers representing parties with interests in the USA and immigration specialists in both public and private organizations. Academics and researchers also will appreciate its value in the study of comparative trends and harmonization initiatives affecting migrants.

Source: West Hawaii Today [1]
Coral reefs are rapidly declining, suffering and nearing death worldwide. A requiem for these complex, productive ecosystems is not yet needed on the Kona Coast and many want to keep it that way.
Eager to conserve coral reefs and ensure the Big Island's appeal as a visitor destination, more than 20 people attended the first four-day Coral Reef Alliance workshop, "Coral Reefs and Sustainable Marine Recreation," Wednesday at King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel. Marine recreation operators and participants took one of the greatest challenges facing scientists today -- finding innovative ways to reverse rapid decline of reefs. They discussed strategies to incorporate best environmental business practices, how to turn conservation into a marketing tool, as well as the emerging issues in tourism and reef degradation.
"This is a coral reef destination," said Rick MacPherson, marine biologist and program director of Coral Reef Alliance. "We can argue all day whether it's a sustainable one. The goal is to identify the threats locally, develop a plan and work toward sustainability."
Sustainable tourism is often viewed as an oxymoron. Organization of Eastern Caribbean States defines it as the optimal use of natural and culture resources on an equitable and self-sustaining basis to provide a unique visitor experience and an improved quality of life through partnership among government, private sectors and community organizations.
"It's not we who manage the reef," said Teresa Nakama of Kahu O Kahiko and West Hawaii Fisheries Council. "It's managing us."
According to State of the Reefs, 70 percent of coral reefs in 2004 were under imminent risk of collapse through human pressures or are under a longer threat of a collapse. The Hawaiian Islands comprise 85 percent of all coral reef areas under United States jurisdiction.
The deterioration is more than an aesthetic problem; it is a serious environmental and economic issue, MacPherson said.
Snorkeling, diving and other marine recreation activities in Hawaii generate approximately $800 million in gross revenues and employ about 7,000 people in more than 1,000 businesses. Kona Coast reefs generated approximately $17.7 million a year. A survey in the Caribbean found divers were willing to pay $25 annually to keep the archipelago's reefs healthy. The West Indies government had the potential to make $90 million yearly with the implementation of a fee, MacPherson said.
Coral is an animal, mineral and "oasis in an oceanic desert." Biological productivity of a reef is 50-100 times greater than in the surrounding waters because there is tight nutrient protection, recycling and healthy alga production. These ecosystems provide biodiversity, storm protection and medicine, MacPherson said.
"Reefs serve as a buffer, protecting inshore areas from pounding ocean waves," he said. "Without coral reefs, many beaches and buildings would become vulnerable to wave action and storm damage. Some coastlines were spared during the 2004 tsunami in Indonesia because of healthy reefs."
Millions who live in the tropics rely upon reefs as a significant source of protein as well as a part of the ecosystem given spiritual and cultural value. Reef animals and plants contain medical compounds, many of which are just being discovered. About 50 percent of cancer medications are derived from marine organisms that live on coral reefs. The most notable is AZT, from a Caribbean reef sponge, that is used to treat HIV infections, MacPherson said.
"Trashing coral reefs is like throwing the medicine cabinet away," he said. "It's throwing away the fragile creatures that have the potential to cure diseases."
To better protect reefs, MacPherson said integrated coastal zone management must be used. The concept is simple: Healthy systems depend on healthy parts. It includes associated watershed and near shore communities.
The public must provide short- and long-term incentives alongside community involvement, expand parks to protect multiple ecosystems, fund management practices, as well as establish and manage Marine Protected Areas. Marine recreation operators should strive for a triple bottom, meaning a profitable, environmentally sound and socially responsible business, MacPherson said.
