Health information exchange - both the noun and the verb - is a dynamic and evolving landscape. HIE is critical for successful healthcare reform, enabling interoperability and meaningful use of health IT, and HIMSS is here to help healthcare and health IT professionals understand all of the latest developments. Through our active volunteer groups, such as our HIE Community and the new Interoperability & HIE Committee, we are engaging industry leaders year-round to develop the tools and resources you need!
HIE provides the capability to electronically move clinical information among disparate healthcare information systems, and maintain the meaning of the information being exchanged (HIMSS Dictionary of Healthcare Information Technology Terms, Acronyms and Organizations, Third Edition). The goal of HIE is to facilitate access to, and retrieval of, clinical data to provide safe, timely, efficient, effective, equitable and patient-centered care.
The term "HIE" can mean either the verb (the electronic exchange of health-related data) or the noun (organizations dedicated to the secure exchange of health-related data).
Looking for quick answers to basic questions about health information exchange? Check out our FAQ: Health Information Exchange (HIE)!
The HIMSS HIE Community provides professionals working in or hosting health information exchanges with opportunities for peer-to-peer networking, problem solving and education. This Community serves as the central convening point for HIE professionals to share ideas, make connections, learn best practices and leverage opportunities in a collaborative virtual community.
HIMSS gives you the tools you need to understand health information exchange in all healthcare settings. The following HIE Toolkits provide comprehensive fact sheets, analyses, checklists, white papers and other resources to help guide and inform professionals involved with HIE at all levels.
Use the resources provided in the HIE Toolkit to guide your healthcare organization through the basics of understanding HIE concepts, build business and financial models around HIE sustainability, and develop technology strategies for HIE implementation. Access the Toolkit>
The Ambulatory HIE Toolkit provides comprehensive HIE education for ambulatory and physician office practice professionals, including physicians, physician executives, practice administrators and practice IT support. Find relevant resources for all ambulatory practices, as well as for hospitals and health systems looking to educate their affiliated ambulatory practices about HIE. Access the Toolkit>
The Enterprise HIE Toolkit is a dedicated source for hospitals, health systems and private provider entities to learn about HIE, facilitating the launch and operation of an enterprise HIE organization or network. The education, tools and resources in this toolkit provide a comprehensive overview of HIE from an enterprise perspective, ranging from HIE introductory information to more advanced resources and valuable HIE business tools.

This HIMSS/NACCHO HIE Toolkit for Public Health> seeks to help public health departments understand HIE services and the types of organizations providing them, how a health department might use or support these services, and how to assess the value of participating in HIE. It also seeks to orient HIE organizations to the functions and needs of health departments, and to their value as customers and partners in HIE. Access the Toolkit>
In an open letter to the Department of Health and Human Services in September 2014, HIMSS emphasized the need to focus on three key policy levers, one of which was interoperability leading to secure electronic exchange of health information. This goal is essential to enabling all individuals, their families, and their health care providers to have appropriate access to health information that facilitates informed decision-making, supports achieve coordinated health management, allows patients to be active partners in their health and care, and improves the overall health of our population
Healthcare isn't the first industry that has faced the imperative for interoperable systems. American railroads were initially built to serve specific cities and their surrounding areas, with little thought to eventually connecting one to another. By the 1870s there were more than 20 different railroad gauges used across the country, making it impossible for trains to move from one area to the next. It wasn't until a common standard was established, and all railroad systems adapted to match this standard, that cross-continental travel and shipping could be achieved.
In much the same way, the world has seen rapid growth in the sharing of electronic health information within individual health systems and organizations in recent years, but the standards used by one system cannot translate information to or from those used by other systems. Until a common set of standards is accepted and implemented across all healthcare settings, electronic health information cannot cross from one system to the next.
Visit the HIMSS Interoperability & Standards website to learn more about the current state of interoperability, as well as ongoing efforts to realize a fully integrated healthcare system.
Get involved with the Interoperability & HIE Committee, Task Forces, and Work Groups!
The Interoperability & Health Information Exchange (HIE) Committee seeks to further advance the HIMSS strategic topic of semantic interoperability and standardization leading to successful health-related data exchange and re-use of health information.
HIMSS HIE Non-Profit Partners enjoy an exclusive membership and a unique role within the HIE Community. Monthly Roundtable calls facilitate connections with other industry leaders focused on innovating, collaborating and advancing health information exchange across the nation, and membership is FREE for one individual (with discounted membership for 5 additional members of your organization!). Learn more about the HIE Non-Profit Partner membership here.
HIMSS volunteers work to promote in-depth looks at specific HIE and health IT organizations, featuring success stories, lessons learned and best practices and turning information into essential tools and literature for the industry. Learn more from the Health IT experts in our HIE inPractice Features and Blogs.
Chapter HIE Liaisons have the unique opportunity to facilitate local, regional and state level HIE activities within their Chapter, working with their Chapter Advocacy Roundtable (CAR) and participating in national HIMSS HIE activities and events.
A diverse cross-disciplinary group of volunteers representing the HIMSS HIE content area is key in supporting the HIMSS objective of being a leading industry resource in HIT and HIE. Public Comment Work Group Volunteers work with the HIMSS HIE content area to solicit and provide feedback on legislation and regulations impacting HIE.
HIMSS and the Global Cneter for Health Innovation and its tenants have created an educational tool, Perspectives on Healthcare Innovation to help visitors understand the importance of healthcare information exchange.
Health data sharing opportunities are dramatically expanded to include additional providers, payers, other care settings, and others as the Carequality community grows. This, in turn, helps patients receive better care, increases healthcare efficiency, and decreases healthcare costs.
In the letter HIMSS and PCHA noted that appropriate interoperability is critical to ensuring the safety and effectiveness of medical devices used in systems, and see this Draft Guidance as a positive step forward in that regard.

Khloe Kardashian Could Make Millions To Divorce Lamar Odom
August 21, 2013 03:00 PM by Lisa Princ
With all the recent allegations that Lamar Odom cheated on Khloe Kardashian, fans continue to wonder whether or not a divorce in their future. Well, as it turns out, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star reportedly has millions of reasons to divorce the NBA star!
We know what you're thinking – how could Khloe Kardashian possibly make millions off of divorcing Lamar Odom? Easy! According to Life & Style Magazine, a pal revealed recently that although the couple did sign a prenup before their wedding, Khloe also included an infidelity clause, which would give her more of Lamar's money, if he was unfaithful.
And with more and more mistresses coming out, it's getting very hard to believe that he has been faithful. Her pal went on to explain that Kardashian has definitely been thinking about divorce, adding: "With both mistresses coming out, she can't handle much more. If more women come forward, she will do it."
However, law experts claim that going the infidelity route will also make the divorce more expensive and more drawn out. Now, the question is whether or not Khloe will actually go through with it. Something tells us that there will be more mistresses coming out – what do you think?
Do you believe the affair allegations against Lamar Odom? Did he really cheat on Khloe with the women claiming he did? We know you have an opinion and we want to hear from you. Feel free to share your opinion in the comments section below!

If one comes then two…..the domino effect. Everybody trying to cash in. If he cheated….he deserved to be caught. But these women are being mean and nasty more than likely trying to make some easy cash. I wouldn't belittle myself in the public eye for being some married mans sideline hoe.

As much as the Kardashians have been blessed by riches, they have been cursed by many things. First the OJ trial and having their father defend him caused drama, then Kim's sex tape and divorce, Lamar's problem, Kris Jenner and Bruce's strained marriage. I would not trade my life for any of the Kardashians. I can honestly say that. Not one of them looks truly happy.

Bayern set a German league record of 53 games unbeaten in 2013-14, becoming champions with seven games to spare, and won three other trophies in Guardiola's first season.
Spanish champion Atletico Madrid is runner-up, while Lionel Messi, last year's winner in the player vote, finishes this poll in second place.
The votes were cast throughout the season and before Ronaldo helped Madrid win the Champions League, scoring a record 17th in the competition. He scored 31 in the Spanish league.

Learning our church government system, called "polity," has always been one of the most significant responsibilities of officers -- elders, deacons, and pastors -- in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). The Book of Order, in particular, is a guide for God's people meeting in representative bodies to be able to seek and know the will of God, so that the whole Church can be governed in ways that are just, decent, and orderly. Participants in this class are expected to conclude the session with an ability to lead and serve the Church with faithful understanding of its system and with clarity in exercising their leadership by acquiring a working knowledge of church government, worship dynamics and contents, and church discipline, which will also enable those Presbyterians successfully to pass all examinations in church polity on their journey toward ordination.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: BracingIn full: I like this run. It's scenic and relaxed. There's only a few moments of traffic, the rest is on paths. Marshals are very friendly and encouraging - with at least four giving away jelly babies. The run through Broadstairs is great fun - the tourists are not quite sure what to make of the hordes of sweaty runners steaming past the cafe. The medal, goody bag, t-shirt, gels, bananas and sports drink all make this a bargain run. Good organisation. There was a louder PA system this year which helped, though for new runners clearer directions to the start, and an indication of which way to face would be helpful. Perhaps a lane kept clear so slower runners can make their way to the back easier. Anyway - I enjoyed this, and got a faster time than last year (2.26.13) thanks to Jill who saw me flagging and shouted at me to help her. We paced each other the last few miles, and then at the end I embarrassed my self by leaning over to give a kiss of thanks and ended up falling all over her! Sorry!I'll be back next year.Date of review: September 3, 2007
In short: Long school cross-countryIn full: I like this run. I did it last year as a prep for Beachy Head. I was enticed last year by the off-road aspect, and by reading about the cows and sheep in the fields. It's not a PB run - narrow paths, stiles, and tricky, changing underfoot conditions (wet or dry) keep down the ability to build up speed and keep a constant pace. It's not a big atmosphere run with crowds of supporters and music. It's a Sunday morning cross country run. Very low key, and very much like the school cross-country runs of my youth. The charm of the course (winding through cornfields, along disused railway tracks and river banks, over fields full of cow shit and dozy sheep), the warm and encouragement of the marshals, the views of the South Downs and the swans gliding on the river, and the general low key, casual feel of the event persuaded me back this year as part of my training for Amsterdam, but also just for the sheer joy of doing this one again. A bit of a drive for me - but worth it. I like having a spot of Sunday lunch and a couple of pints of Tanglefoot in the White Hart afterwards. That's what life is about.I didn't get a PB - despite the crowded start and the mud, I still went off too fast. I got 2.22.40 - I wish I'd paid more attention and pushed for a 2.22.22!Date of review: August 20, 2007
In short: DelightfulIn full: This is my second year. I really like this run - even though 10K is not my favourite distance. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, with enough people to create a real buzz. Organisation is assured and smooth. Traffic is kept away from the route - though a pair of marshals did go "off duty" near the junction at the railway bridge, allowing a car to start edging into the runners; not sure why, but the marshals had positioned themselves the other side of the bridge. I noticed there were some water cups this year, but not enough - again it was bottles. I carried my own, and that was enough, even on a warm day. I don't think I prepared well for this - or perhaps it was the humidity - but I took 1 hour 36 seconds, which is my slowest 10K for over a year. The gentle inclines seemed very steep this year!This run is now a part of my calender - and it's good that it matches up with the Dartford Beer Festival. What a splendid day: a good run in the morning, then idling away the afternoon sipping beer!Date of review: July 15, 2007
In short: Great marshalsIn full: A very pleasant run along an attractive route by the Thames, and then around the streets by Kew Gardens. Though the route is flat, the surface varies which adds interest. The starting surface was lumpy grass which was hard going, but served to hold back on the desire to go too fast at the start.The day was glorious - lots of sunshine - and it didn't really get too hot until later on, so the early start was appropriate.The marshals were very enthusiastic and involved - probably the best marshaling I've encountered. They made me feel safe and secure, and almost every one of them had a word or two of encouragement.This is a low key event so not much was expected, but a little more organisation at the beginning would be worth it. Some signs at the car park directing people to the start area, and perhaps a tannoy announcement (or at least a marshal going round) would be good. The loudspeaker used to give information and advice at the start could be louder - about half the runners couldn't hear what was being said (other than "steps"!). This was my first 10 mile and I was very pleased. It's good that there are people out there who are prepared to keep this distance alive.The Fuller's glass is very nice - much better than I expected.I'd be interested in doing this again even though it's not in my area.Date of review: April 16, 2007
In short: Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!In full: I love this run. I love it because of the big race atmosphere. You notice the big clear signs as you drive in. You notice the other runners all heading in the same direction. You notice the big Start gantry, and the crowds gathering to watch, and the marching band walking down the centre of the street, and the police towing away any awkwardly parked car. This is a big event. It's a popular event. And all of Hastings is aware of it.I love it because of the long hill climbs at the start. Challenging - yes. Demanding -yes. But also very rewarding. I love it because of the church choirs out singing. The crowds banging saucepan lids. The whistles, whoops and roars of support. And then the long silence of that huge, never-ending hill where every year somebody collapses: deceived, out-witted and exhausted.I love it because of the wonderful weeeee! of the downhill section, and the playful torture of the uphill twists and turns.I love the occasional beautiful view from the Ridge, the character of Hastings Old Town, the whiff of beer from all the splendid pubs, and the bemused look on the faces of the tourists on the seafront as you run past the crazy golf and the cafe.I love it all.Are there bits that can be improved? Absolutely. Better organisation at the start to get people into the right time zones. And much better organisation at the finish to keep spectators away from the finish zone. Runners are often disorientated at the finish - they've pushed hard for a sprint finish, and now they want their medal and a drink. The tea is great - but it is a struggle to find it. And there was no water, and no bananas. These things don't cost much. I like the horse brass, but I'd be happier with a cheaper medal on a ribbon, and the saved money spent on water bottles and bananas. Small improvements that would mean so much.I noticed there was more support this year than last - I guess that's down to the fine weather. I didn't do a PB, but I did run 6 minutes faster than last year, and did it in 2.20.48 - and that's with a cold, and having visited the beer festival in Brighton the day before!I'll be back for 2008.Date of review: March 15, 2007
In short: An enjoyable romp around a pleasant park. In full: I quite liked the fact that it was three laps. Until this year I hadn't done any multiple lap runs because I thought they would be boring, but I've done two so far this year, and enjoyed both.The flat terrain means this is a good run for a PB - though it has to be pointed out that some of the corners are very steep, and the course is rather narrow for the amount of runners, so overtaking is very tricky on the first lap. I didn't notice people being sorted into time bands, and slower runners did start too far forward and hold up people behind. I felt the organisation was poor for such a well attended run. The t-shirt and baggage tent was too far from the start. The marshalls hadn't been briefed to give encouragement - and they seemed thin on the ground. The single water station was for a lot of the time, just a heap of plastic wrapped bottles. Runners had to stop and break through the plastic with their fingers to get at the bottles. And for a period a couple of park tramps blocked the water station and prevented runners getting at the water. The man collecting the timing chips had a grump, bad tempered attitude and was wandering around so runners had no idea where to put their chips. On occasion he could be seen walking away from tired runners who wanted to put their chips in the box. Having two static boxes one either side of the finish would be better. At least then other runners could point to a known location.The t-shirt is very nice. I think this is a good race for beginners as it is so flat and is attended by a number of other beginners. I enjoyed this, and I enjoyed the whole day. But I wouldn't do this again as it offers little for an experienced runner other than the flat terrain.Date of review: February 10, 2007
In short: Great start to the seasonIn full: A wonderfully playful and scenic run through mud splashes, steep climbs and log leaps. Great fun. Organisation needs tightening. The start was delayed by 15 minutes without explanation. Rather naughty for such a small event, especially on a cold day - people had to go back to their cars to keep warm. Also, even though the course was well marshaled and roped off at appropriate points, there were still points at which it was possible to wander off course if not paying close attention. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the day and will 100% be doing this next year. Strong recommendation. Date of review: February 4, 2007
In short: Awesome - The run of a lifetime!In full: If you want to run a race, run a marathon. If you want to achieve something awesome and inspiring, complete the Beachy Head Marathon. The run is faultless - but very hard-core. No charity runners or gorilla suits in evidence. Very few onlookers - and those members of the public that you do pass look at you in astonishment: you're running on these hills?! The camaraderie of the other runners is uplifting. This is a mad, mad marathon - it's big and it's bad. But I felt exhilarated all the way round. There was always something new and amazing. A descent through an autumnal wood alive with colours. A heart-breaking climb up an endless flight of steps to reach the top and get a stunning view of the Cuckmere Meander. The check point at Litlington with tea, sticky bun, a nice sit down and a trad jazz band. The endless ups and downs of beachy head itself. And the reckless whizz of dashing downhill for the last mile to the finish. And - at the end of all that - to be treated to jacket potato and baked beans with rice pudding to finish.A hard, challenging run - but one to feel proud to have completed. A brilliant day. And one I shall certainly do again. Excellent value for money. An event for real walkers and runners.Date of review: October 29, 2006
In short: Attractive Scenery. Poor OrganisationIn full: I enjoyed that. I finally cracked sub-2.20, so I'm well chuffed - especially as I got a nasty stitch at the top of the hill which never left me and was quite draining.I thought the route was very attractive and very enjoyable.It was a mixed day though. We were approaching Henley just after nine o clock when we hit a traffic jam. Hardly any movement. A number of runners who had driving partners left their cars and ran to the start. My partner doesn't drive, so I had to endure the long crawl into town. I parked in the first car park I saw signposted, which ended up being a mile from the start. I then had to run to the start. I kept thinking they would delay the start because clearly there were a number of runners held up by the traffic. But no. So I had to run against the flow of runners to get to the start. I got to the tail end just as they were passing under the start.The water stations were poor for a half-marathon. Cups are OK for runs up to 10k, but longer runs need bottles so people can take on a lot of fluid without having to stop to sip. The water stations were also quite slow - there didn't seem to be too many volunteers. I think I prefer races organised by running clubs - or at least in conjunction with running clubs, so there are more experienced volunteers, and better facilities.At the finish there was a lot of confusion because the water station couldn't be found. I don't know about anyone else, but I tend to be quite distracted at the end of a long run. I'm tired, thirsty and unable to think clearly. I need a clearly indicated water station. And water that is served quickly so people don't have to queue up to get one small cup.Also, these days bananas are common after a long run.It seemed with this race that the Rotary Club were so keen to raise the maximum amount for their charities that they didn't want to spend any more money than they had to.Personally I would prefer to pay a quid or two more and be better looked after.Anyway - rant over.I met some great people on the run. And Chrissie and I enjoyed spending the rest of the day doing a mini pub crawl of Henley.Overall a good day due to the attractive route and the pleasantness of the town. It's such a shame the organisation was so meagre.Date of review: October 8, 2006
In short: A day at the seaside - but no picnic!In full: Having had a full day's drinking on the Saturday, and getting to bed quite late, I wasn't in the best state to achieve my target of a sub 2.20 - and, sure enough, as I saw my time slipping, I relaxed into a recovery walk near the end with a sigh of relief. Despite my slow time of 2.28, I really enjoyed this run. The route is very pleasant - up and down a very undulating, but never too severe, path along the attractive Thanet coast. My favourite part was coming down past Bleak House into Ramsgate and running past holiday-makers enjoying cups of tea in the tea shop on the harbour front. The gel at half-way, and the flapjack and sports drink at the end were very nice touches.Support was thin, though a family clapping, cheering and whooping from their balcony near Ramsgate did raise a smile.The start was a bit vaque. There were no clear directions, and people milled about looking confused. The medal is nice, though it would be nice to have the date and race on the medal.Date of review: September 4, 2006

Ask the Foodist
Dear Foodist: Tip jars are everywhere, from coffeehouses to take-out sushi joints. Am I expected to pay extra just for someone to do his or her job? –Tipped Off
Dear Tipped Off:
The phenomenon of the jar near the cash register with a passive-aggressive note attached to it has gotten out of hand. Putting money into it should in no way be confused with tipping at a restaurant. Most servers are paid less than minimum wage with the understand- ing that they'll make their real money in tips. But at a coffee shop, you have no way of knowing the payroll system, and it's not your job to guess. If you do leave something extra, is it to reward excellent service (when you get it) or to make yourself feel better? I have to admit I do it for the latter. Guilt works.I propose a new rule: If you're a regular at a sandwich shop or cafe and are consistently treated well, leave the occasional buck. But if you stop at a random place for a snack, by no means should you feel obliged to tip. So, baristas and co., feel free to display that jar–just don't expect everyone to put money in it. –Andrew Knowlton

Activists confident the new forum will facilitate social change for Israelis living below the poverty line.
By Marc Israel Sellem/The Jerusalem Post
A new parliamentary caucus aimed at putting the issue of poverty back on the national agenda and pressuring the government to create an all-encompassing plan to reduce the problem will be established on Tuesday as the Knesset marks the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty.
Despite the fact the international day was observed worldwide in October and Knesset scheduling issues have meant it is only being officially discussed now, activists are confident the new forum will help to finally create social change for thousands of Israelis living below the poverty line.
Four MKs – Zevulun Orlev (Habayit Hayehudi), Shlomo Molla (Kadima), Muhammad Barakei (Hadash) and Daniel Ben-Simon (Labor) – will head the Caucus for the Fight Against Poverty, which will not only demand a national plan to reduce poverty but will also ask for better measuring tools to assess existing and future policies aimed at helping the poor.
"This could be the straw that breaks the camel's back," Orlev told The Jerusalem Post on Monday. "We must continue putting pressure on the government to create this national plan and constantly bring new ideas so that one day it will become a reality."
He said that in the same way the government builds its monetary budget, it should also create a program that will show exactly how it can and has reduced poverty among children and the elderly, as well as minimizing the socioeconomic gaps between rich and poor. He said all areas — health, welfare, education and labor — needed to be looked at too.
"Poverty in Israel has become a chronic illness and society is becoming entrenched deeper and deeper in this problem," explained the MK. He said that according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Israel has among the highest percentages of poor people in the developed world.
According to the latest figures released in November by the National Insurance Institute, 433,300 families, or 19.8 percent of the population live below the poverty line. The line is defined at half the median income.
"Every third child, every fourth adult and every fifth family lives in poverty in Israel," said Orlev. "Poverty is not a person's destiny, it is the result of government policies."
Barbara Epstein, the executive director of Community Advocacy and a member of the Forum for the Reduction of Poverty, said she was optimistic about the new caucus.
"I am hopeful that this time, because we have an interesting constellation of people involved, we will see some change," she said. "It seems to me that those involved now are very dedicated to this issue and are not doing it just for the publicity."
The forum, which is now in its third year, is comprised of a broad range of non-government organizations, academics and even representatives of the Jerusalem Municipality.
On Tuesday, it published the results of a specially commissioned telephone survey showing the overwhelming majority of the public (92%) believes the government is not doing enough to improve the economic situation here.
Furthermore, the survey, which used a sample of Israeli Jewish adults, found that 63% believe the government is directly damaging the economy and only 8% said they feel the current economic policy is good for the country.
In addition, 78% said the recommendations made by the Trajtenberg Committee, set up by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to answer the demands of protesters following last summer's mass social justice demonstrations, do not go far enough to help those who are really struggling with poverty.
More than half of respondents (56%) indicated that over the past year they have been forced to cut back drastically on their spending, especially on food, housing and clothing. This figure shows that despite economic growth, many citizens do not enjoy it, and even more are forced to cut their operating expenses.

"A little piece of country heaven" - LandLove magazine, April 2013.
See my latest designs from the first drawing & ideas to the finished mug.
Latest Designs
Hare & Harebells Red Campion Community Garden
Jennifer & Adrian Bell work from their home studio in County Durham. Jennifer's work is known
for the detailed naturalistic designs inspired by the countryside around her home in County Durham
& from travelling around the country attending Flower & craft shows.
A range of printed gifts from Jennifer's original Watercolour paintings.
This range includes ceramic, wood & fibreglass gifts & was introduced to allow more detailed
paintings to be be reproduced.
Using a raised paste an outline design is drawn using a piping bag in the same style as the ceramics.
Therefore the printed range compliment the hand painted ceramics. The outline designs are then painted with Watercolours & Pastels. Once finished the painting is scanned into a computer & used to print onto Mugs, Coasters, Hearts & Tiles.
Our range of Footpath Sign mugs can be personalised with the name of your town or you can have a garden sign with your name on which is a perfect present for any garden lover.
Adrian Bell hand casts items from Earthenware slip & they are fired in a kiln to 1140 Degrees C.
Jennifer applies her designs using slip-trailing. No two pieces are exactly alike as each designis piped straight onto the ceramic there are no patterns or tracelines applied first.
Items are then hand painted with underglaze oxides, dip glazed & fired again.
Once complete our ceramics are useable & decorative so they make beautiful gifts. As they have some raised design they are best cared for by hand washing.
Please allow up to 4 / 5 weeks when ordering the hand painted range.

There is public land directly south of our property which is where they let the dogs go. Then the dogs run straight through our property and the hunters sit and wait for their dogs or deer to run out of our property. and as you can see in the pic that guy walked about 100 yards into our property which is where the camera was..
and im not sure if thats a brand or its shaved but i would like to find out if those letters and numbers mean something.
its probably the owners initials so that if someone takes the dogs even if they remove the collars he still knows they are his... pretty messed up for that poor pup... i hope you find them... im further into the basin than you so i wont be much help
i mean as for as i know dogs cant read and louisiana laws state that you have the right to retrieve your dog on some1 else property as long as you do not have a long gun in your position at the time
The law does not allow dogs to be retrieved on private property without the property owners consent, gun or no gun. Dogs can be retrieved by boat on the bank without the dog owner leaving the boat. It doesn't matter wether the dog can read, or the hunter for that matter. Private property does not have to marked or posted for trespassing to occur. It is the hunter's responsibility to know where he is. A picture of the dog was included hoping that its markings might identify the owner.
Any hunter has a right to retrieve his dog or dogs in the state of louisiana as long as they are not hunting. The land owner cannot pursue any trespassing charges if a hunter is retrieving his dog. In this pics it looks as tho he is just getting his dog because he is by himself and has no gun.
He does have a rifle, right arm and right shoulder. Zoom in and you see it
I talked to the fellow in the pic and he told me
that before they even got started huntin that he told willy,sally,and little speedy to make sure that they didn't go on Mr. Pontiff's property.
As you can see Little Speedy don't listen.
There is nothing a londowner can do about dogs except erect a fence. There are provisions in the law regarding the dog owner. Refer to Louisiana Revised Statutes 14:63 subsection F.:
F. The following persons may enter or remain upon immovable property of another, unless specifically forbidden to do so by the owner or other person with authority, either orally or in writing:
6) The owner of a domestic animal while in the sole process of merely retrieving his domestic animal from immovable property and not having a firearm or other weapon on his person.
Signs are an allowed method of forbidding access. Refer to Statute 14:63.3:
§63.3. Entry on or remaining in places or on land after being forbidden
A. No person shall without authority go into or upon or remain in or upon or attempt to go into or upon or remain in or upon any structure, watercraft, or any other movable, or immovable property, which belongs to another, including public buildings and structures, ferries, and bridges, or any part, portion, or area thereof, after having been forbidden to do so, either orally or in writing, including by means of any sign hereinafter described, by any owner, lessee, or custodian of the property or by any other authorized person. For the purposes of this Section, the above mentioned sign means a sign or signs posted on or in the structure, watercraft, or any other movable, or immovable property, including public buildings and structures, ferries and bridges, or part, portion or area thereof, at a place or places where such sign or signs may be reasonably expected to be seen.
I know the property in the photo above is posted with signs around the entire property.
I know what you going through, I hunt the basin also. Dog hunters have 'NO' respect for other people's property and a few of the comments here show just that. I have plenty of pictures of dog hunters on my property which is clearly marked, and have even caught them on my property. Good luck on finding them. By the way, that is clearly a rifle with scope resting on that right shoulder.
You start piling the dogs up and they dont have to read anymore....the hunters will get the point
I will say that I believe that every type of hunter should have a set season. If you go down the road of one type of hunter should be banned then you fall into the trap of one day it may come to your preference of hunting next on the list. That being said, we all have set rules and if you break them, then you should pay the price. It upsets you that the hunter is on your land and I understand. Maybe someone will figure out who they are so you can approach them and come to a understanding. If not then their is always legal action.
If this is your property, and this person is unwelcomed,It is apparent that HE is trespassing.
I am an avid deer hunter and have been hunting for 40 plus years. Please dont group all dog hunters with the ones that break the law. I have hunted all over in many places and different States. I have been at camps and lodges where people have set around fires and bragged about killing deer from posted property,over corn (where illegal) out of trucks, before shooting hours,after hours,running over with big trucks,I can go on and on. I have spent my time hunting about 60 percent dog and 40 percent still hunting.
Although the hunters in your club may never break the law, there are some that do. Thus, having been said, there are people that do not observe the law no matter if it is dog hunting, still hunting, or even speeding down the highway to get there.
Again, this guy is apparently trespassing. But please dont accuse all dog hunters of the same as well as any still hunter that breaks the law.
Believe me, we all need to get along and agree to disagree on things or the anti,s will devide and conquer.
Dog? Looks like a coyote chasing livestock to me ;-)
Would you like some cheese with all that winein you doing go hunt dude DAM. We all no that's state land any f--kin way.
thers a new law you don't have to post land anymore in Louisiana & even if he's trying to get his dog he is trespassing you need to find the brand name on the dog & club name & have all them arrested for tesspassing I just went through the same situation & the judge ruled in my favor
well sounds like you need to do some dog-hunting yourself. i know if see dogs on my property they are sent to meet their maker, no questions asked. i love dogs as pets, not as pests. if they mess with my deer they die.
if a dog comes on your land barking you have the right to defend yourself. maybe its after you. just sayin
Just like it's not the guns fault it's the shooter, it's not the dogs fault it's the owner.
firearms are tools that we use. they cannot, by themselves, get up and walk to wherever and such Dogs are living beings. they can severely F*@# up my deer hunting. so they die.
I got some extra nipples far all ya baby's crying about the dogs. Get over it. We run this shit.
run your dogs across my piece. nobody is crying. it's just people who think they run whatever shyt will eventually learn that your roommate 'bubba' in the pen runs shyt! while we clean up pieces of dog skull off our property.

EOBR mandate a good idea that needs some work: CTA
TORONTO -- The Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators was hoping to solicit feedback on a potential electronic on-board recorder (EOBR) mandate and Canada's leading carrier group responded.
The CCMTA issued a discussion paper in late-February, in preparation for a possible Canadian rule on EOBR usage. The paper highlights issues of compliance, data requirements and implementation, and how they apply to a carriers' business.
Following a "project charter" drafted last fall, this paper includes a brief discussion on each issue associated with EOBR compliance and concludes with questions to guide carriers' input.
While the Canadian Trucking Alliance would like to see a mandate requiring all carriers to use electronic on-board recorders (EOBRs), the group would like to see some issues addressed before Canada moves forward.
The current paper log book system, says CTA, is antiquated, easy to abuse and difficult to enforce, which contributes to non-compliance with the hours of service rules and can contribute to driver fatigue.
"The lack of effective enforcement of the hours of service rules has not only created potentially unsafe situations and created an unlevel playing field between carriers, but it has also denigrated the credibility of the regulators and sustained a negative mythology about the trucking industry's compliance record," states the CTA in a news release. "A universal EOBR mandate would improve the effectiveness of both the enforcement effort and compliance with the hours of service regulations."
However, CTA concedes a number of key issues need to be addressed before a mandate could become a reality:
Enforcement Policy – It is essential that a reasonable, common sense, enforcement approach be established as part of the introduction of an EOBR policy and that it is uniformly adopted across jurisdictions and shared with industry.
U.S.-Canada Harmonization – Given the level of integration between the supply chains of the two countries, the pursuit of a common U.S.-Canada approach to EOBRs must be a priority. However, that does not necessarily mean the U.S. and Canadian rules need to be identical. It would be extremely important that Canada and the U.S. harmonize in terms of the technology, data standards and driver identification.
Privacy – EOBR technology shall be used solely for hours of service recording purposes. The type, amount, format and frequency of data that governments shall have access under an EOBR mandate to needs to be determined in concert with industry. Governments must commit to updating their data management systems to ensure they have integrity and are secure.
Technology – Instead of prescribing specific technologies, an EOBR mandate should concentrate on what data is required and in what format and allow carriers the flexibility to determine which EOBR technology is best suited to their specific business.
Costs – Cost concerns and financial implications can be managed by a combination of establishing a realistic and reasonable timeframe for full implementation of the mandate and by providing meaningful incentives (tax, grants, rebates, and/or credits) to encourage and assist accelerated investment in the technology. There will never be an ideal time for a mandated investment, and credit is currently very tight, but a fair and incentivized transition would significantly reduce opposition on those grounds.
The CCMTA working group is expected to submit its final report to the Council of Deputy Ministers of Transportation in October 2010.

EVERETT — New details emerged Friday about the Seattle police detective arrested for investigation of identity theft, including allegations he posted sexually explicit photographs on a phony Facebook page to "ruin" the life of a woman who had sought to end an extramarital affair with him.
Some of the photographs were taken by the detective, David N. Blackmer, who lives in Snohomish County, while he and the 31-year-old Auburn woman were engaged in sexual activity, according to probable-cause documents filed in Everett District Court.
Relatives of the woman, including her mother and underage children, her friends and people in her church saw the photos on the page made to look like the woman's, she told Seattle police in a detailed account laid out in the documents.
All expressed shock and displeasure, the woman told police, leaving her feeling what she described as "degraded."

As she recounted how she had been affected, she began to cry and sob, saying she felt "violated and harassed," according to the Seattle police detective who took her statement. She was identified in court documents only by initials.
The court documents also disclosed that a photograph of an official document had been posted on the Facebook account, relating to the woman's custody hearings with her recent ex-husband regarding one of her children.
Investigators believed whoever posted the document, which contained information normally not made public, had an original copy from the court typically reserved for law-enforcement purposes only.
Blackmer, when questioned by Seattle police after his arrest on Thursday, said he controlled the Facebook account and posted pictures to get back at the woman for confronting him at his home, according to the documents.
Snohomish County prosecutors are weighing whether to bring formal charges against Blackmer, 43, who was booked into the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of second-degree identity theft, a felony.
The allegation included additional circumstances of domestic violence and cyberstalking.
An Everett District Court judge on Friday afternoon allowed Blackmer's release without bail. An attorney for Blackmer told the judge Blackmer planned to voluntarily leave Friday night for a 30-day treatment program in Florida.
Blackmer, a 17-year veteran of the Seattle Police Department, has surrendered his badge and gun and was placed on paid administrative leave. If he is charged with a felony, he will be placed on unpaid administrative leave, according to Seattle police.
Blackmer and the woman began a sexual relationship in December after meeting on an Internet dating website, according to the documents. Their relationship included the taking of sexually explicit photographs and videos, the documents say.
On July 11 or 12 she told Blackmer she wanted to end the relationship when the two met at her residence, according to the documents.
On July 17, she went to Blackmer's home in unincorporated Snohomish County to tell his wife about their affair, the documents say. While there, the woman told Seattle police, she argued with Blackmer, who grabbed her by the neck and pushed her to the ground, the documents say.
The woman also had a conversation with Blackmer's wife about the affair, then walked back to her car, according to the documents.
As she did so, Blackmer told her he would "ruin her life," "get back at her" and that "she was going to be sorry," according to the documents.
Within hours of the confrontation she noticed the explicit photos on the phony Facebook page, along with "sexy" pictures she had provided to Blackmer at his request, the documents say.
As she continued to monitor the page, she found photographs showing her with friends, her daughters and her dog, according to the documents.
Later that day, the woman contacted the Seattle Police Department's Office of Professional Accountability (OPA) in person. OPA investigators turned the case over to detectives because of the criminal nature of the allegations.
Investigators discovered additional photographs had been posted, with derogatory wording that could be viewed as an effort to embarrass and harass the woman, according to the documents.
On Tuesday, more information was added to the page, including two of her email addresses, her cellphone number and her home address, the documents say.
As a result, the woman told police she was terrified to return home with her children and will not return there.
Facebook closed the phony page on Thursday, according to the documents.
As part of the investigation, detectives were continuing to examine whether the woman was assaulted.
At Friday's court hearing, Blackmer was represented by Seattle attorney Ryan D. Wood, who said he was asked to appear by an organization, Safe Call Now, that provides confidential services for public-safety employees. He said he hasn't been formally retained to continue representing Blackmer but hopes to do so.
Although the Florida treatment center, Treasure Coast Recovery, bills itself as providing alcohol and drug treatment, Wood said he was not aware of any substance -abuse on Blackmer's part.

The ice planet E.D.N. III was colonized by Neo-Venus Construction (NEVEC) only to see the humans chased from its surface by the native insectoid Akrid. When it was discovered that the Akrid contained a thermal energy source called T-ENG, humanity returned to harvest the Akrid. During the original evacuation, Gale Holden fell in battle holding off the insects but his son, Wayne, was left behind. He is found by humans who refused to leave, but he has no memory of his past – only a mysterious implant in his arm.
This device – the Harmonizer – uses T-ENG to heal wounds and provide warmth, keeping you alive as you set out to seek revenge in this third-person shooter. Along the way, you'll uncover your past and have plenty of opportunities to destroy swarms of the insect-like aliens with advanced weaponry. The heavily-armed robotic Vital Suits will let you cross vast areas of snowy terrain as well as taking the fight deep underground. Fight through destructible environments as you take on swarms of killer Arkid and humans from opposing factions. Earth-shaking bugs and missile- and laser-armed Vital Suits attempt to destroy you.
Four different online modes let you play with up to 15 other players for epic combat in beautifully-rendered, vast environments with destructible scenery, vehicles and objects. From towering structures to underground tunnels, you can go head-to-head or team for deathmatch, and team deathmatch games as well as fugitive mode where one player is the hunted while the others the hunters. The fourth mode pits two opposing teams against each other in trying to secure and defend multiple positions. The Colonies Edition includes additional multi-player battle maps along with new monsters and weapons. Players can now take on the role of the insects in Human vs. Akrid combat. In addition to six additional online multi-player modes, three new single-player modes have been included.

Debt Financing
Short-Term Debt Financing
What is it?
As is obvious in the name, short term debt financing is a form of financing involving financial obligations that must be fulfilled usually within a year to two at most. It is more often used for working capital requirements, or day-to-day operations of the business. By the same token, businesses with cyclical operating conditions (for e.g. retailers) or those engaged in international trade will usually obtain financing through short-term debt. There are 4 main types of short-term debt financing options:
Overdraft is an instant extension of credit from a lending institution. When a company has an overdraft arrangement with a bank, it can draw down or transmit cash from its account beyond the available balance. It is also revolving in nature; does not have a fixed repayment period. The amount of credit will depend on the overdraft limit negotiated with the bank. (The advantage of an overdraft arrangement is that the company does not have to ensure that sufficient cash is always available for operating activities such as stock turnover or payment to creditors in the short term).
Letter of Credit is a letter from a bank guaranteeing a buyer's payment to a seller, that a seller will receive the amount within the credit period. The advantage of having such an arrangement with a bank is that it enables a company to negotiate better credit terms (E.g. longer credit period) with suppliers.
Short-term loan is, as the name suggests, a loan that must be repaid within a year or less, with interest. It is not revolving in nature; has a fixed repayment period. Companies will usually find this form of debt financing useful if liquidity is a concern, in particular short-term working capital requirements (For e.g., to purchase stocks or to pay creditors).
Bill of Exchange is a document that binds one party to pay a fixed sum of money to another party at a specified future date. It is often used in international trade. An exporter can grant credit to an importer for goods shipped, by drawing a Bill of Exchange to the same amount and credit period.
Who qualifies for it?
Basically, there are no formal qualifying criteria for obtaining short term debt financing. In general, companies need to have owner's capital and a strong business case to support the viability of the business. Suppliers offer short term credit on purchases to enhance their competitiveness; banks offer short term loans and overdrafts to earn interest as well as to build on client relationships. Hence, as long as the company is relatively transparent in its financials and operations, and is not 'blacklisted' on the credit bureau, or has a bad reputation in the industry for defaulting on debts, short term debt financing is possible.
What are the advantages and disadvantages?
Short term debt financing provides the business with liquidity to conduct its day-to-day operations and to maintain working capital needs. However, they do present some disadvantages to the business as well. These are detailed below.
What are the risks?
The following are some of the risks that come with short term debt financing.
Long-Term Debt Financing
What is it?
In contrast to short-term borrowings, long-term debt is used to finance business investments that have longer payback periods. For example, the purchases of machinery, which may help the company, produce goods over a 5-year period. There are 2 main types of long term debt financing options:
Basically, term loan is a loan with a repayment period of more than one year. It is usually taken by companies with longer investment or payback horizons, such as building of a new factory or purchase of new production equipment. A bank term loan is usually repaid via periodic instalments.
Leasing, in general, allows a company use of an asset without having to pay the full amount upfront. A leasing agreement is drawn up with the lessee agreeing to pay periodic rental payments in exchange for the use of a capital asset. It is in effect a rental agreement, apart from a clause, which allows the lessee to own, or to buy over the machine at a reduced rate, at the end of the lease agreement.
Who qualifies for it?
Long term debt financing is usually more risky to the financier as it involves longer payback periods and thus higher credit risks. Hence, long-term debt financiers would usually require the borrowing company to pledge some form of asset as collateral. Such assets can range from inventories to factories and properties. The amount of funds that the company is able to obtain through long term debt financing would depend greatly on the value of assets, which the company is able and willing to pledge.
Generally, long term debt financiers will also look at the credit worthiness of the borrowing company, in terms of its long term business prospects, cash flows, profitability, capital structure (debt-equity ratio) and other qualitative factors such as the transparency of operations, credibility and integrity of management etc. Long-term debt financiers such as financial institutions would usually require a set of up-to-date audited financial statements to perform their credit evaluation. Table below shows some of the quantitative factors that are commonly used by long-term debt financiers to evaluate borrowers.
What are the advantages and disadvantages?
Like short-term debt financing, long-term borrowings offer advantages as well as disadvantages. These are detailed below and summarized below.
What are the risks?
Considering the often large amounts of funds involved, long term debt financing is a relatively risky source of financing.

she change her mind about custody agreement after her boyfriend change his main on there relationship and send her back to arizona
Did the child go with her to Idaho? If so, was this with your consent? Thank you.
no my kid staid with me in Arizona and docent want to live with her
I would suggest that you have an excellent chance of prevailing on the custody issue. I say this as her leaving to go to Idaho and leaving the child behind makes it look like the boyfriend was more important to her than the child. That being the case, my thought would be for you to focus on this issue. Simply make sure that the judge is aware that she left and that she left the child in your care during that time. As such, she clearly believes you to be a fit and proper parent for the child.

I have a jQueryUI theme built by Themeroller (1.7.2) that i'd like to tweak via Themeroller. I recall seeing there was a method to use an existing custom theme as a starting point for a new theme - essentially importing the old theme so additional tweaks could be executed.
Can't see instructions on how to do that now.

01/24/2013, Majuro, Marshall Islands
Our visit to California is now behind us. We had lots of fun with old and new friends, played some music, hiked, sailed and almost went skiing. We just ran out of time for that. We also bought many items for the boat that are really difficult to find anywhere else. The prize of the list is a new Dinghy. Our old one was developing seam to transom troubles, so we took the opportunity to replace it while we could. We bought an Achilles with inflatable floor this time. We loved the Zodiac, but dinghys live a hard life, and we were told that the hypalon models (like Achilles) are more robust. We shall see. We hear lots of people beating up on Zodiac (they are PVC), but for us, we have only praise.
It was a 20 hour trip back to the island - 6 hour flight from San Francisco to Honolulu, a 7 hour layover where we got to sleep on a nice hard, cold wooden bench just like the homeless. We now both have much more appreciation for the difficulty of such a life! Finally, we arrived in Majuro early in the day.
As always returning to a boat that has been sitting closed up for two months means that there will be work to be done. Our waterline was seriously dirty and took a good two hours of scrubbing to get it pretty again. Inside, we had some mold - not much, but it must be addressed or else it spreads. So, accordingly, Elisabeth removed all cushions and mattresses, cleaned them, cleaned and wiped down the surfaces with water and vinegar, all of the bulkheads (walls) and counter tops. Bugs? Well, yes a few, but not too bad. We found weevils in closed containers of flour. Since they were closed, we expect that the little buggers were in the flour from new. All in all not too bad at all, but it does take a bit of time to address these things.
For the time being, we will continue our work to get Proximity back into working (and living) shape, and then we want to explore that outer Marshall Islands. There are many, and we have heard that they are well worth a visit. We will keep you posted on all of this, but for now, we have yacht work to do!
As always, "Your Rock and Roll Argonauts" send you the best, and we encourage you to click the little "leave a comment button" and tell us a little about you - it makes us feel connected.
Silvia & Walter
Just checking in on you and saying hi. Glad you got to visit California and see "old" friends. Hope you are both doing really well now as you prepare Proximity for sail.
12/24/2012, California
'Twas the day before Christmas (Christmas Eve), and I wanted to send a little update and Christmas wish to all of you. Of course, an update should consist of news of some sort, maybe a description of where we are, what we have seen, maybe the weather endured to get here, and possibly a tip of the hat to some wonderful piece of technical gear that helped make it all happen. That is always the challenge of a blog. How should one approach saying what one wants to say?
Then it struck me that what I just listed are perhaps the various ways NOT to say it (at least from my point of view). Maybe that is what I ought to talk about - the traps blogs fall into.
For example, there are blogs that I call "And Then We Went Here, and Then We Went There. An easy trap, and it goes like this: We have left the boat in Majuro for the two months that we will spend at our house in California. During this time, we spent a week house sitting in a friend's lovely house in the Oakland Hills, went sailing on Clear Lake, attended our friend TJ's birthday party, met many nice people at the local café where we can access Wifi, attended Thanksgiving dinner with good friends, Rick and Judy..... The list goes on, but this is not what you want to read about, trust me.
Then we have the trap I call the "Overly Sweet Syrupy Prose" blog. Another easy trap. Often what we see out in our travels is beautiful beyond description, so why not try and describe it? "So there we were...the soft velveteen brush of the satin air of the evening gently caressing the green grass of my mind, softly lifting my spirit into a merangue of heartfelt ecstasy as the myriad colors of the day bid us both hello and goodbye, all in a single delicious instant while we savored and tasted it all with the joy of a new born horse galloping for the first time while our sturdy, strong and ever watchful and caring mother mare of a boat named Proximity coaxed us along........" I'm sorry. I have read these blogs, and while I can understand the desire to convey the moment, this is not the way to do it.
If you have read more than one sailing blog, then I am sure you have come across the "We Barely Escaped With Our Lives" blog. Let's be honest here. To take off in a small sailboat, to head out across thousands of miles of open ocean with no one to call if there is trouble, often with only one's spouse as crew, is huge. The trip from Mexico to the Marquesas in French Polynesia is nearly 3000 miles, and we had never been alone offshore more than 200 miles when we did that. Often the weather is quite nasty and uncomfortable. The trip from Fiji to New Zealand is notorious, and for nine days, we were quite cold, uncomfortable, and learned how to deal with higher winds than we had ever seen. Sometimes it is quite frightening. On the return trip to Fiji from New Zealand, we encountered a lightning storm, the likes of which we had never seen, and we hope we never see again. But the fact remains that the boat always floated, our lives were never in danger, and eventually we reached our destination - a little stronger and wiser. We promise never to exaggerate to you and tell you that it was worse than it was, nor will we tell you what super beings we are and that any lesser mortal might not have made it through. Those too, are boring blogs.
Finally, we are supposing that many of you are not sailors, and if you are sailors, that you don't need us to teach basic refrigeration, electronics, or navigation to you. This only bores the non-sailors and insults the experienced sailors. Holy smokes, there must be legions of technical masters out there telling us that the way they have re-wired the negative field, internally regulated Volvo high power alternator to a Yanmar-like externally regulated, positive field alternator solves the problem of too fast a charge on the high capacity bank of gel cell batteries, while still allowing the Blue Sea Solar Booster to provide an adequate charge in conjunction with the self regulated Super Wind Wind Generator, all the while showing no voltage alarm at the engine panel. For this sort of thing, we'll be happy to share, in serious detail, what we can, and what works well on our boat. Just send us a personal email, we will respond. I promise.
So these are the things I thought I would talk about in this posting, but you know, all that I really want to say is that "Your Rock and Roll Argonauts" just want to thank you for spending the past year with us, we have enjoyed having you along, and that we wish you all the very best for the Holidays, and a prosperous and Happy New Year.
Be Excellent to One Another!

Yes, it's true. We are coming to California on November 19. We will stay until January 20 or so, so get ready. We hope to see as many of our friends as we can. We are thinking that we will plan a party at our house. Yes, I'm afraid that you might have to drive a bit, but remember. We have no Bay Area residence. So, drive! Hey, we do it for amazing distances and still like each other, and suffer no lasting traumatic effects! See you soon!

Houston, the eagle has landed. We're home. Tied to a mooring at 1400 local. Checked in with Customs and Immigration. Done. Complete. Yippie!
The cab ride was $0.75 USD. The Marshalls use American money, so it is easy. Immigration said: "Visa?" "You are American citizens, so you can stay as long as you want." This is really nice after having to do the 20 page form route so many times just to get an additional 30 days.
Our position is: 07 06.468N, 171 22.083E. Now, I think I will go help Philip tie to his mooring. He is just arriving. It is dark and squalling, but he needs help, we are here, and this what yachties do for each other. Then it will be Victoria Bitter time.
As Always, Be Excellent to Each Other, and help 'em tie up when it's dark and stormy. Ok? Rod and Elisabeth "Your Rock and Roll Argonauts"
10/28/2012, Closing on Majuro
It's squall time again. All day today, and through last night too. We should arrive Majuro tomorrow, so we are ready. I suspect it's that pesky South Pacific Convergence Zone being active. At any rate they have had us jumping, reefing, unreefing, reefing, and repeating as necessary. And here you thought the sailor's only care was the bathroom!
I will make this short as I must pay attention to my squalls. Hopefully, our next communique will be from a cozy mooring in Majuro.

10/27/2012, Way Out There
In all societies, throughout the world and throughout the ages, humans have had to deal with the unsavory subject of poop and what to do with it. In the modern western world, we simply find a nice clean toilet, do our thing, and with an effortless flick of a hand, we are done with it. This is a convenience well worth appreciating, for it is pretty rare.
When we were in Mexico, the modern western convenience was pretty much the same as we have in the US, with one common exception. The paper. In many places in Mexico, one is asked not to flush the paper down the toilet. This is due to the plumbing and treatment facilities not being able to handle it. So, the stalls are provided with an "icky container". Usually, this is a small trashcan with a plastic liner and a lid. First thought is that this will be pretty gross, but with frequent dumping attention, it was fine.
In Vanuatu, in the villages, the people are poor. They live in grass houses and paddle hand made dug out canoes. But, they have a high standard for their environment. Their village paths are raked and landscaped very nicely. The Vanuatu village often resembles a park. They deal with the poop issue by building little outhouses, yes, out of grass. These outhouses are placed not too near the houses, but still at a convenient distance.
On Tarawa, we saw a method we had not seen before, but we had read about it. We had hoped what we had read was wrong. Tarawa is the business center of Kirabati, and as such, it attracts many people from the outer islands hoping to find work, excitement, etc. The small island city of Betio is the concentration center, and really is a big slum. On our WWII tour, we were afforded the opportunity to see neighborhoods and areas we would not have found on our own. Unlike Vanuatu, the poor I-Kiribati, have electricity, as well as some kind of running water. They have solid construction houses. And, they poop on the beach.
Not all do this, but the evidence we saw was that many practice this. Our opportunity to witness this firsthand was when we went to the cannons located on the west side of the island at what was called "Green Beach" during the battle. It is just their old custom, and now that so many people are there, it's pretty gross. A pity. It would be really easy to dig outhouses like the Ni-Vanuatu.
But my point is not to make judgments. It is only to illustrate that there are many different ways of dealing with the ancient problem of poop. On the boat, we have a holding tank that is used while in port. It is pumped out at a pump out facility in first world marinas and ports. In the third world, you are on you own, so the tank is set up to pump overboard into the deep sea. (Don't worry, whales poop too, much more than humans do.) There is also the question of paper. Have you ever heard of a yachtie having to rebuild his head (toilet) due to land based guests flushing too much paper? It happens very often, so the previous owners of Proximity had installed a little sign readable from the throne. It reads: "Please do not flush anything down this toilet unless you have eaten it first." Remember Mexico. They have a brilliant idea. Enter the "Icky Bag". On Proximity, we keep a sealable plastic bag for just this occasion, and it is dumped daily. We have never had a clogged toilet. It does not smell bad, and although it is by nature, the "Icky Bag", it is not gross. It is just a good way to deal with the ancient human problem. And now you know much more about this lovely subject than you ever wanted!

US displays strategy shift regarding North Korea
After nearly three years of talks regarding North Korean nuclear capabilities, the United States showed new signs of flexibility during a three hour meeting between representatives of the two countries.
US officials discussed options for potential aide to North Korea in return for a freeze on nuclear production as a starting point for eventual cessation of all nuclear activity, a strategy similar to that which led ultimately to the dismantling of Libya's nuclear program more than two years ago.
According to Kyodo news sources, despite the mood of optimism at the talks, which also included representatives from Russia, Japan, China, North and South Korea and the US, many feel that substantial progress regarding North Korea's nuclear program has yet to be achieved, Pyongyang has yet to admit having nuclear capabilities of any sort.

I bought this because I'm getting married out of state and going on a honeymoon out of state. All I was looking for was airline carry on compliant moisturizer so I didn't have to worry about re-packaging what I currently use...well, I think I found a new face routine because I am obsessed with the products in here! My skin looks and feels great. I haven't even taken it on a trip yet.
Great for travel, great for every day.
I purchased this because I sampled the moisturizer and thought it was amazing. This seemed like a great value, so I gave it a shot. The moisturizer is my favorite - no question! The eye cream is also very moisturizing, but it's too soon to see any results. The face wash is nice and gentle. Not the best at removing makeup, but gives a nice clean and moisturized feeling. I have never tried a face mist before, and I'm not sure if I will again. It does feel refreshing on hot days, and I'll definitely use this but wouldn't purchase it as a stand alone product. The balm is very runny and made a mess of my lips, although it is moisturizing. I used it on a few rough skin areas and it worked better than on my lips. Also the scent was a bit too much for right under my nose. And finally, the bag it comes in is perfect for travel. It's nice and sturdy and has a great zipper and clip. I'm very picky about my carry on bags, but I'm going to use this on my flight next week! Overall, definitely worth the price!5
I received a sample of the moisturizer in my birchbox and knew I had to purchase it immediately, however, it was sold out! So I used my birchbox points to get this set for just $20, the same price as the moisturizer by itself! What a steal! I love love love the facial moisturizer and now I love the eye cream that comes in this kit! Very moisturizing, incredible texture, not oily, does not cause break outs, nice smell, simple packaging, need I say more? Seriously the best I've ever tried (and I've tried and purchased several over the years from high end brands including Kiehls, Origins, Naobay). I did not like the cleansing milk (ineffective at cleansing, left a residue) or lip balm (thick, sticky, medicinal smell). The mist is ok too, I just don't find much use for it when using the moisturizer and eye cream.5

How to Knit on Circular Needles
Circular needles are exactly what they sound like; they enable a knitter to knit in a circle and are useful for knitting round objects like hats and mittens. Knitting with circular needles is not exactly the same as using straight needles, so read on to learn how to knit in the round.
1Gather your circular knitting needles and some yarn.
2Make a slipknot and slide it onto the needle.
3Cast on. Do which ever cast on method you like. It's recommended that you do not use the backwards loop method, as the loops can twist around and come undone.
4Scrunch all the stitches over to the left needle, or where you began casting on. Make sure all of your stitches are straight on the needles and facing the same direction.
5Join the stitches. What this means is you need to join the knitting yarn to the work so it is one continuous circle. Hold the needle where the cast on began in your left hand and hold the other needle in your right hand. Begin knitting with the working yarn, making sure you are connecting the yarn to the beginning and creating a circle.
6Pull the joining stitches and the first few afterwards tight. Otherwise you may have a ladder form where you joined the yarn, and you don't want that to happen.
7Put a stitch marker on the right needle to mark the beginning of the round. (If you don't have a stitch marker you can use a paper clip.) This is not completely necessary, as you can see where the round starts with the tail yarn, but it's very helpful if you're knitting a complex pattern.
8Continue knitting in the round. A tube like structure should begin to form.
9Cast off as your normally would.

|This video will show you how to knit in the round
- Here are the list of stitches and how to do it when you knit in the round:
- Garter stitch: knit one round, purl one round. And repeat.
- Stockinette stitch: knit all rounds.
- Reverse stockinette stitch: purl every round.
- You can knit straight, flat pieces with circular needles too. Just don't join the stitches, and turn the work after every row.
- Remember, when you knit in the round, you'll never turn your work.
- You can also knit in the round with doubled pointed needles. Try both and find out which you prefer.
- If your needles are too big for the project you want to complete, they will stretch the yarn out, and your finished project won't look very nice. You'll want to look up the traveling loop or the magic loop method, which allow you to knit smaller items and long circular needles.
- Don't twist the stitches before you join the two ends. This is very important!
Things You'll Need
- Circular knitting needles
- Knitting yarn
- Stitch marker (optional)
