Organic Vegetables with Less Water? Sound like a Fish Story?
What could be better for your body and the planet than growing organic vegetables using about one-tenth of the water normally used? Well, how about producing a low-fat protein source while you are at it--in the form of your favorite fish? James Nelson of Sunray, Texas is doing all those things with a Do-It-Yourself aquaponics system he built in his own backyard.
"I was already gardening and when I heard that aquaponics was more water conservative and you don't have to put up with all the weeding I was very interested," said Nelson. In an aquaponic system, the plants are grown in a controlled environment that reduces theoccurrence of weeds and makes it easy to eliminate any weeds that do come up.
James Nelson of Sunray is shown here with the
second of his backyard aquaponics systems.
Aquaponics is a food production approach that leverages the symbiotic relationship between fish and plants. One of the biggest concerns in raising fish for food is that the accumulation of fish waste can become poisonous to the fish. In a traditional fish farming operation this issue calls for regular changing of the water in the tanks. With aquaponics, the system pumps the water and nutrients out of the tank and into grow beds filled with a growing medium like gravel, lava rock or specialized clay pellets.
Fish waste is high in the nutrients plants need to thrive. The growing media allows the plants to more easily access the water and nutrients than they could in normal soil. The roots of the plants are literally soaked in the nutrient-rich mixture of water and fish waste. Once the plants have removed most of the nutrients from the water it is returned back to the fish tank, cleaned an aerated to provide a healthy environment for the growing fish.
"I also like to eat fish, so being able to raise my own fish and know that what comes out of the system is organic was appealing to me," said Nelson. "You have to be careful about putting any chemicals on the plants that might hurt the fish and vice versa, so there's a check in place to make sure it stays all natural," Nelson said. "I started out doing lots of research on it to find the least expensive way to get started to make sure it would work. Since then, I've built two systems for myself and one for a friend, with more and bigger projects in the works," he added.
Vegetables on the top are watered and fertilized with the
water that provides habitat for catfish in the bottom tank.
Sounds great, right? But, if this system is as smart as it sounds, then why aren't more people doing it? Well, as a matter of fact, there are many people all across the country and the globe using aquaponics principles. There are clubs and web communities of aquaponics enthusiasts with systems ranging from an indoor fish tank and kitchen herb garden, to multiple tanks with a greenhouse full of grow beds. While most large-scale aquaponics operations are non-profit or educational, the practice is even being applied with some success in commercial operations.The water is continually circulated through the system, so none is wasted, though some is lost through plant transpiration and evaporation. Periodically, more water needs to be added to the system, but because there is no loss to run-off, much less water is used compared to traditional gardening. Other benefits include the elimination of the need for chemical fertilizer in the growing process and the fact that a system can be set up anywhere. Aquaponics systems may offer one way to address food shortages around the world, while conserving clean water. "There are actually groups that are helping villages in countries in famine to train the residents so they can have a system and create an almost self-sufficient food source," said Nelson.
So, if you are already a gardener and looking for something new to try, or if younever thought you had the space for a garden, aquaponics may be a way for you to grow better food, in a smaller space and use less water. Nelson also pointed out a benefit that should not be overlooked. "It's a lot of fun!" For more information and links about aquaponics visit our website at www.northplainsgcd.org under the Science and Technology section.Aquaponics is not only water efficient, but also space efficient. The owner of a commercial operation gearing up in Wisconsin said it would take 60 acres of farmland using traditional practices to produce as much food as they can produce at their indoor aquaponic facility that sits on 1.5 acres. Nelson said he has seen similar results. "I planted the same variety of tomatoes in the aquaponic system and in the ground, and while the aquaponic plants are not as big, they have a lot more tomatoes."

07/12/2011, Staniel Cay...Goodbye!
We called Isles General Store to see how early we could bring our laundry in to have it returned late today? Not this week, waiting for a new washing machine! HER laundry is shoulder height and needs to be done and we are back to hand washing ours it seems, in a bucket. We do hope it rains!
We need diesel fuel...none on the island...and don't know when! Joan got Chubby to call Highborne Cay to see if they have fuel. That's a Roger. We have 20 gallons, a full inboard tank...and we should get 200 miles. Theoretically.
We need a new alternator belt, not here...so where? We seriously need to sail...and we are praying for wind!
We did get some provisions and met some great people throughout our day! First it was a cool dingy ride to Isles General Store, where Vivien Rolle was a sweethearat! Miss Flo Smith, at the Pink Pearl Grocery who had the greatest smile and wonderful stories (pictured here); Mr. Burke Smith who's letting the youngsters run things these days, just turned 82 and shared his triple bypass stories; and finally Miss Flo's neice who bakes the bread for all three markets is Rhonda, who, surprise is an angel! What a social day, nothing new for Altair's crew ever.
It didn't end there...our last stop was for RO water at the SCYC, where Joan hooked us up with lunch, ice and a large bill on the credit card...no ATM either.
All and all it was a great day! Joan is as much a part of this Yacht Club as the owners, but is leaving to marry an Andros man! She will be sorely missed!
It's time to say goodbye, dear sweet Staniel Cay! So short a visit, yet very rich in love!
OK, here's the latest plan: Meander up Pipe Creek, stop at Obrien's to dive the "Aquarium" for only one day, then go right on to Warderick Wells for just a day! After that, your guess is as good as ours, just hoping for an alternator belt to replace the one that is shredding like a carrot in a grater at a pace that's making our heads spin.
It's never dull on the wee sloop Altair!
Stay tuned!
07/11/2011, The Wharf on Staniel Cay!
Junkanoo is an energetic, colorful parade of brightly costumed people gyrating and dancing to the rhythmic accompaniment of cowbells, goatskin drums, horns and whistles. It began with the freedom of slaves when they were given three days off at Christmas and wore elaborate masks to disguise themselves from their masters. It has carried on today as the ultimate celebration of everything big in the Bahamian world.
True to their description, teachers, children, and adults too, paraded, danced, jumped and made lots of noise! We had a blast and so did the kids!
We met some great folks too, the local women who cooked for us all, Marta and Yves, SV Breakaway, who went cruising until they got an offer and took it to manage Fowl Cay, just waiting to break-away; Danielle and Lynn, taking little hops on their motor sailor...promising to reconnect when we all get back to the states; and then last, but not least, Donna and Duke, SV Promise, previous members of the CGSC! It's a small world after all.
07/11/2011, The Wharf here at Staniel!
We found out that everything is closed on Sunday and Monday because of the Bahamian Independence Day. We will have to provision and get laundry done on Tuesday when everything opens again!
I found out yesterday that the festivities were to start with breakfast on the beach and then Junkanoo, the Bahamian parade to celebrate their independance!
We are anchored right off the wharf and had the perfect opportunity to see when things started heating up! We got tired of waiting, had our own repast when we heard some drums, some bells and horns, far off! We jumped into the dink, just as we saw the band and the players going up and down the dock! I'm wound up tight and we shove off from Altair when the Yamaha bites the dust! What now? My hero rowed, I jumped on the dock...he said "just go, I'll catch up".
I did find the band of players who are mostly children and it's a rehearsal! There were a number of adults to whom I wished a happy anniversary of their independance...and everybody invited me back tonight. How cool.
I got some great pix and this youngster stole my heart. He was shy, sweet and could wail on that drum. Can't wait til later!
Dudley is truly a champ, came walking up the hill as I was coming down and he agreed whole heartedly to come back iwith me this evening!
07/10/2011, At Anchor off the SCYC...
I've had it...I'm sanding the rust stripes off the hull, cleaning the stainless and scraping the 6" long grass that loves our waterline sans the ablative bottom paint.
We said that when it wasn't exciting to wake up to the awesome beauty and appreciate every moment of this adventure, it was time to go home. That is not the reason we are going home. Ran outta money and the boat is getting cramped. We...I mean I am sick of trying to polish a "t---" that really needs to be painted...10 years ago.
In her defense, she's done everything we've asked of her, handled more than we ever could, and never complains...I could learn from Altair.
Now we're really tired...but Altair is gleaming...almost! She still needs to be painted desperately...but we'll just whisper that and she IS doing a great job of getting us home safely!
07/10/2011, At anchor off the SCYC and North Staniel!
We were actually in sinc today...it's rare..but true. He needs to work on maintenance, fluid checks, deck fill for the diesel and silicone PIA...so I need to give him some space and go ashore.
Perfect opportunity for me to take a hike...literally! I haven't had the opportunity since Culebra and I'm jonesing for exercise!
Dudley got his wish and so did I. I hiked North Staniel for 2.5 hours, got seriously overheated, but I loved it! Dudley got the boat fluids checked out and topped off the diesel after the laborious task of peeling the silicone off the deck fill! He hasn't had the chance to install the new deck fill so we eliminate the chance of water in the fuel.
Again...another fantastic photo op, and very hard to pick just one for this, but here it is. Just can't get enough of the flora, fauna, vistas and the spectacular Caribbean sea.
07/09/2011, Lee Stocking to Staniel Cay...
I really wanted to take this route to get on the bank...it's breathtaking! I know I sound like a broken record...but I'm not kidding.
Entering the cut as planned on a incoming tide was still hairy, for me. The chartplotter lays everything out for us clearly, but when you approach there is always that question, "hmmmmm' does this look right?"
It was a remarkable leg, wanting to get on the bank at last and we thought about stopping at Little Farmers. "We just cannot stop everywhere we want with our deadline we've chosen", says my captain of reason.
There are just too many exquisite shots to pick one for this post. We motor sailed, sad to say, past Rudder Cay, Musha, Cave, Galliot, Big Farmers, Li'l Farmers, Great Guana Gaulin, Bitter Guana, Harvery and finally here to Staniel, all scattered along the cystal clear turquoise waters know only here in the Bahama Bank. Even the Tobago Cays fail to compete with the beautiful, shallow water found only here.
It took us almost 9 hours, but again...only a 40 mile day passage which is a nice change from the overnight and 24 - 96 hour passages of late.
We are also back on the Bahama bank and down the home stretch of our last leg. This photo taken at the Staniel Cay Yacht Club where we felt like islanders, spoke volumes about our journey today....Floating Interest...for real!

TV czarina Ekta Kapoor is in seventh heaven following the stupendous success of her production "The Dirty Picture". She says producing TV shows makes her feel at home, while making films is almost like a vacation.
"It's (TV is) home ground. You might want to travel the world…you might say, that you love Paris, but Mumbai will always be Mumbai for you. So for me if you ask, television is Mumbai and films are like Paris," the 36-year-old producer said at the launch of her new serial "Kya Huaa Tera Vaada".
"It's (films) a great vacation, but I will come back to television," she added.
Ekta, daughter of yesteryears star Jeetendra, has produced films like "Love Sex aur Dhokha", "Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai", "Shor In The City" and "Ragini MMS". She insists films are an experiment for her, and help her understand TV better.
"Whatever I am today, is because of television. So all the emotional connect is with television. I am experimenting with films and enjoying the freshness of a film but it helps me understand television better. Whatever art of storytelling I have, is because of television," said Ekta, who is also co-producing "Shootout at Wadala" with Sanjay Gupta.
The New Year is a busy time for her production house with films like "Kyaa Super Kool Hai Hum", "Rock The Shaadi" and "Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai 2″ lined up for release. – IANS

The Beeville Main Street Program held its annual Holly Jolly Christmas event, and from the looks of the closed-off streets filled with families, it was a great success.
The weather was in the mid to upper 70s which was perfect for the kids to dress in shorts and short-sleeved shirts, but didn't bode well for the hundreds of pounds of snow trucked in for children's winter fun.
But, somehow, it lasted all day and into the evening, with snowball fights lasting until then.
The Velcro wall was a hilarious surprise. Kids, wearing the appropriate vests, would launch themselves on to the wall and stick.
And sometimes they would flail their little arms about as they stuck to the wall, needing some assistance getting down.
From water balls, inflatable slides, a snow-covered slide the children slid down on tubes and moon bounces, there was plenty for kids of any age to do.
And parents got in on the action by taking their kids on carriage rides, which seemed like a welcome gift for their parents' feet.
Some youngsters preferred to enjoy a good laugh at what the horses decided to leave behind them on the streets.
When the sun began to set, families flocked to Washington Street and filled the sidewalks for more than four blocks as they awaited the annual lighted parade.
Of course, it was a gorgeous display of the community coming together, bathed in blinking lights, flashing sirens and the sounds of high school bands.
It was a long day of festive fun for everyone. And though the event seems to be growing every year, most of the attendees are more than likely already waiting to see what next year's Holly Jolly Christmas in Beeville will bring.

The Democracy Fund aspires to the highest ideals of the American republic — government of, by, and for the people. We invest in organizations working to ensure that our political system is responsive to the priorities of the American public and has the capacity to meet the greatest challenges facing our country.
The Democracy Fund was created to respond to a troubling array of problems facing our nation's political system. Trust in our governing institutions has reached historic lows as Congress' approval ratings sinks into the single digits. Gridlock and hyper-partisanship have paralyzed our governing bodies, resulting in the least productive Congress in recent history and a political climate that makes problem solving all but impossible. The public's voice is increasingly drowned out as political leaders become ever-more dependent on a relatively small group of large donors and special interests.
At the heart of our vision for the future are three core commitments to a strong, healthy political system.
Nonpartisanship is a cornerstone of the Democracy Fund's work. We believe that creating a vibrant, healthy political system is in the interest of all Americans and that finding achievable solutions to the complex problems facing our democracy will require voices, expertise, and ideas from across the political spectrum. Our board, staff, advisors, and grantees include Republicans, Democrats, and Independents.
A catalyst for change, the Democracy Fund supports risk-taking ideas and strategies that shift the incentives driving political behavior. We value evidence-based learning both in developing and reflecting on our work. As a collaborative organization, we endeavor to be transparent and to build the capacity to provide our partners with a broad range of resources to support our shared goals. Our approach is further distinguished by our commitment to work across the aisle to find common ground on issues of national concern.
The Democracy Fund was created in 2011 by eBay Founder Pierre Omidyar as an initiative of Omidyar Network. In 2014, the Democracy Fund became an independent private foundation. The Democracy Fund is affiliated with Democracy Fund Action.
The Democracy Fund is part of The Omidyar Group and is funded by Pierre and Pam Omidyar. For more information about the Omidyars' personal, professional, and philanthropic interests, visit www.omidyargroup.com.
The Democracy Fund aims to play a catalytic role in improving our political system through our grant making. We typically make a substantial investment in the success of our grantee organizations. We work closely with our grantees to help them achieve their goals, seeking a governance role where appropriate. To have the greatest impact, we invest according to the following criteria:
The Democracy Fund does not accept unsolicited proposals. We proactively seek new grants based on our strategic priorities and typically source deals from within our network of partners and contacts.
Value to Our Portfolio
Our grantees' success is our success. We support and collaborate with portfolio organizations to help them grow and reach their full potential. We provide value in the following ways:
The Democracy Fund invests in organizations working to ensure that our political system is responsive to the priorities of the American public and has the capacity to meet the greatest challenges facing our country. Established by philanthropist and eBay founder Pierre Omidyar and incubated inside Omidyar Network, the Democracy Fund launched as an independent foundation in July 2014. These are our first financial documents as an independent organization. We take seriously our commitment to transparency and will continue to share additional financial information as it becomes available.

Only down side is the hiway noise. Close to Salida CO. Well manicured sites, close to the Arkansas River. - Trainut
May 2015 - $40.00
We stayed over Memorial Day Weekend. The Hosts were absolutely the best. The cleanliness of the bathrooms made a huge impression! (I clean for a living) Actually, the cleanliness of the entire park was commendable.
We can't wait to go back, and we highly recommend this RV Park.
We were close to the highway, but we weren't bothered by the noise. The area by the river is well maintained and it was a great place to sit and enjoy.
There was a church group staying at the camp at the same time, and the hosts made certain we were comfortable. We were invited to the campfire marshmallow roast Saturday night.
It was just a great stay. - Deanne Havens-Michaud

Started out with a 10 rating: Deduct 2 for road noise 24/7. Deduct 1 for limited 50 amp site availability. Deduct 1 for poor and intermittent Wi-Fi connectivity. Deduct 1 for lack of grass between sites (mostly weeds and sticker bushes). Overall very friendly host, well kept park, and views of mountains and river.

There's a lot of fun outdoor activities for both kids and adults alike. If you're looking for a quiet getaway this is not the place for you. The indoor pool is heated and the outdoor pool is not heated (not noted on their website). The staff in the office is very nice and helpful. Most of the RV and tent sites are in the woods. Be sure to call in your reservation to make sure you get a site big enough and accessible for your rig. By Sunday the restrooms get pretty dirty, but the staff doesn't start their major cleaning till Monday. We would stay here again. - Wandering Westhoffs

Kids had a great time. Lots to do with tons of games. Electrical and dump site could use work. - James vandykr
May 2014 - $44.00
Like other campers, we found the place to be pretty run down. That said, there are plenty of sites that are very secluded and in the trees, definitely not your parking lot type RV park. Also, if you have kids it is a great place to go--indoor and outdoor pools, putt putt, horseshoes, shuffle board, tennis, etc. Run down, yes, but we had a pretty good time nonetheless. - Impulse RV

Paul Ryan to make return trip to Reno
RENO, Nev. (AP) — Republican vice presidential running mate Paul Ryan is planning a return trip Monday to northern Nevada — the first stop on a cross-country marathon to mobilize GOP enthusiasm on the eve of the election.
The Wisconsin congressman was in Reno on Thursday and urged more than 500 supporters to vote early and back Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney at the polls.
Ryan is scheduled to speak around 9:30 a.m. Monday at a rally at Atlantic Aviation on the east side of Reno-Tahoe International Airport.
Washoe County is pivotal in Tuesday's election and could decide whether President Obama wins a second term or if Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, replaces him in the White House.
From Reno, Ryan will travel to campaign stops in Colorado, Iowa, Ohio and Wisconsin.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. ?? As fall classes opened at the University of Alabama on Wednesday, the Crimson Tide football team continued its preparations for the upcoming 2007 season on the Thomas-Drew Practice Facility.
With the first day of classes, 22 walk-ons joined the UA roster and worked without pads Wednesday afternoon in their first practice of the season with the team.
The Tide opens its regular season on Saturday, Sept. 1, when it plays host to Western Carolina in Bryant-Denny Stadium.
"We are really focused on Western Carolina right now," said sophomore offensive lineman Andre Smith. "The line has improved tremendously and we are just working hard and having fun right now."
On Thursday, head coach Nick Saban and selected Tide football players can be heard on the first installment of the weekly "Hey Coach" radio program. The show, hosted by Tom Roberts, will include a taped interview with Saban, along with several UA players.
The legendary Kenny Stabler, the Tide's color commentator on the game day radio broadcasts, will join the show, as will new sideline reporter and former All-American Barry Krauss. Also joining the program will be Tide volleyball coach Judy Green and soccer head coach Don Staley.
Next Thursday, Aug. 30, will be the first live edition of "Hey Coach" from Baumhower's Wings Sports Grille in Tuscaloosa.
Alabama is slated to practice on Thursday at its regularly scheduled 3:30 p.m. time slot. All practices are closed to the public.

I think Bernie is wrong, very wrong. I am all for wheel to wheel racing, even with your team-mate as long as you don't wipe him out in the process (as Seb did in Turkey 2010). So I get that part. It's what fans want to see and it's exciting. But, that reason alone does not make what Vettel did right. I also think Bernies reaction would be totally different had Webber passed Vettel, or blamed Webber if there had been a collision between the two. Vettel is Benies golden boy, that's plain to see.
Here's why it was wrong for those that can't figure this out...
In F1 you are part of a team and no driver is bigger than the team. Red Bull gave Seb his contract and pay his wages. Horner, soft and weak as he is, is still Sebs boss and he calls the shots.
Bernie said it was too early for team orders. That statement alone shows that Bernie lacks an understanding of what the team orders were for. Well he is getting on the poor lad.
These were not team orders to help one driver out in a

You're Next Trailer: Home Alone Meets Straw Dogs In Bloody New Clip
By Sean O'Connell 2013-03-28 11:46:18 comments
A Youre Next trailer that doesnt use Dwight Twilleys Looking for the Magic? Thats a missed opportunity but its probably the only mis-step made by the otherwise fantastic tease for Adam Wingards hostage-horror film, which just arrived on Apples official page.
Lionsgate picked up Wingards feature, which has been idling in neutral for far too long after a handful of overly successful screenings at the Toronto International Film Festival (where it played as part of the Midnight series) and Austins classic Fantastic Fest an event tailored to genre audiences. Sensing it had a hit on its hands, Lionsgate waited for the right opportunity to unleash Wingards disturbing flick. That time will come on Aug. 23.
Whats Youre Next about? On a surface level, its about a dysfunctional family getting together for a contentious reunion in an isolated mansion. But an attack from the outside has the normally-distant family members banding together in a twist on Agatha Christies Ten Little Indians premise and Michael Hanekes Straw Dogs.
In preparation for its late-summer release, Youre Next took a victory lap around the South By Southwest film festival, where it built on its already-deafening buzz and whet fans appetites for the type of unexpected horror it dabbles in. Wingards cast has some recognizable faces from the indie-horror community, including fellow directors Ti West and Joe Swanberg. And learn the name Sharni Vinson, for shes about to replace Gina Carano as the go-to name in female ass-kicking horror/action stars.
Oh, and that Twilley tune that automatically calls to mind some murderous scenes in Youre Next? Its right here. Put it on repeat, and crank it up loud:

What makes you think your water is going to break for sure? Many women don't have their water break before labor starts. Sometimes the baby is even born in the bag. My water never broke before labor. Even after I was in labor for a long time it wouldn't break, and when the nurse tried to break it she couldn't. After trying three times she said the bag was too strong and healthy. It broke on it's own eventually. With my second they didn't even try and it broke right as I was giving birth. It may not happen until you're actually having the baby, so don't worry about it.posted 08/19/2013 by a BabyCenter Member

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 18, 2010 --
Education is the one major policy place where Democrats and Republicans can put aside partisanship and agree, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said Thursday night, saying he was optimistic that the new Congress will be able to come together on school reform.
"I can't think of another policy area where a win can happen where both sides would feel like they did the right thing," Bush said, arguing that creating jobs and reforming education were the top two winning issues for both Democratic and Republican candidates for governor this year.
"We've got to find one place where we find common ground because it may be contagious," he added. "At least one, let's find one."
His comments came at a Harvard University forum with former U.S. Education Secretary Margaret Spellings, John Podesta, president of the left-leaning Center for American Progress, and Michelle Rhee, the former chancellor of the District of Columbia public school system. The forum was titled "Strange Bedfellows: The Politics of Education and the Future of Reform."
Bush, governor of Florida from 1999 to 2007, is a visiting fellow at Harvard's Institute of Politics.
"This election wasn't just about a shift to the right," but also a "repudiation of the political class in Washington," Bush said.
Podesta, who also served in the Clinton administration, said candidates elected to Congress have been moving away from the center and towards their respective corners on the left and right. "The center's hollowed out," he said.
Podesta said President Barack Obama is focused on education reform as an area for bipartisan compromise. He said the "Race to the Top" proposal, which set aside money for states in the form of competitive grants, caused states to change across a wide range of reform issues, some even before the legislation was finalized.
"It set off a competition, if you will, among the states," he said.
Podesta pointed to President George W. Bush working together with the late U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy on education reform through the No Child Left Behind Act. "They both got a little out of the comfort zone," he said. "It's going to take that same kind of dynamic."
The former president's younger brother, who often is mentioned as a possible future presidential candidate, challenged education policy makers to do the same, as he did when he pushed Florida to enact reforms aimed at increasing accountability in schools. Bush also championed school choice, pushing through a major voucher system, the main part of which has since been voided by the courts.
Still, Bush urged, "Be big, be bold."
After the forum, Bush said he had spoken "a couple of times" with Gov.-elect Rick Scott, a fellow Republican, but he had not heard any specific plans on education from him. However, Bush said he understood Scott to be "interested in developing reforms and making education a priority," he told the News Service.
Asked whether he thought Scott would be "big" and bold," Bush said, "I'm not sure I have to worry about that with him. He'll be fine in that regard. Of course, the minute I said that, then I realized that Michelle Rhee has been fired because the mayor of D.C. was big and bold."
For her part, when asked by Spellings, who moderated the forum, about sustaining public will for education reform, Rhee said, "I have mixed emotions right now."
Rhee, who has been mentioned as a possible candidate to go to work on education policy in a number of states, including in Florida, said the District of Columbia saw "outsized gains" in student achievement in a short period of time, but "it didn't result in people saying we want more of this and let's keep going."
"Do-gooder reformers" try to appeal to politicians about what is right for children, but unions are sometimes "running their campaigns," she said. "That's why I feel like if we just rely on the politicians on this, we're in trouble."
"We need to make education an economic issue and the driver to make America number one," she added.

Diaper Rashes...I need an answer:) !!
I can only use wash clothes (with water and or mild soap and water) to prevent diaper rash for my now one year old. 1.) Is there a certain ingredient in even sensitive baby wipes that is the main cause for iritaion? 2.) How come we can use mild soapy water with wash cloth but not a sensative wipe...? Do the wipe companies making sensitive wipes have it wrong? 3.) Is it maybe the chemicals to preserve the wipes???? 4.) Is it the texture of the wipes- which doesn't seem right since a washcloth seems so much more abbrasive than a smooth wipe? Any answers anyone can give could really help me out. Thank you.

I can only use PAMPERS SENSITIVE WIPES on my LO. Every other brand gives him a rash. Because they aren't at all my local stores in between I make my own wipes with VIVA PAPERTOWELS and warm water. Using a zinc oxcide cream mixed with vaseline everytime I change his diaperposted 01/19/2013 by Dbab9929
I think some of the wipes have alcohol. I was told years ago by my 11 year olds pediatrician not to use wipes if the baby has a rash. Use a washcloth instead, the wipes always appear to make the rash worse.posted 01/06/2013 by teriberry1980
My baby is 5 months old and for the first time, he developed a rash under his neck which the dr ex as yeast infection. I tried nystatin for a week and desitin bec it seemed nothing was working. Desitin made it worst and was too harsh for his sensitive skin. He started peeling from it and his skin looked horrible. I saw this info from dr. Jay and he recommended using natural products first before prescription cream such as nystatin. He said to use 12 drops of gse -grapefruit seed extract in 1oz of distilled water. I used the purified water instead and I was shocked the next day. His neck looked soooooo much better!! Two days later his neck was clean and clear, back to normal. You can also use the drops in the water to wash his face. I even use the gse on a cotton ball to wipe my face and now my face is clearing it. I am amazed at the benefits of gse. It kills virus, bacteria, fungus etc. I still rinse his neck with he solution to minimize any rash from coming back, he drools!posted 09/11/2012 by RoCordoba
my Son is 6 months and 1 week old. he had severe diarrhea last month which also brought diaper rash for the very first time ever since he is born. my aunt asked me to mix a teaspoon of pure mustard oil with 3 spoons of water and apply on the rash area. it worked so wonderfully that all rash went away over night. always try to wash ur baby instead of using wipes during rashposted 07/11/2012 by naad's mom
Our doctor told us to always make sure baby is completely dry after your change their diaper (before you put on the new one). He also suggested painting his bottom with desitin, his words were "cover his bottom like you would ice a cake!". He has never gotten diaper rash. My first son had problems with diaper rash.posted 05/15/2012 by aglazeua

After using all sorts of expensive creams and methods, I infused some olive oil with chamomile tea bags, and it worked like MAGIC! Just use a clean jar; do not heat. It is also great for skin care, in general -- cheap, too! Another wonder remedy: oatmeal. Use plain oatmeal and soak in large jar of water. Strain into bath. Done! Worked like charm. Can also be used with cotton swabs on skin directly. Cleared up my daughter's rash, that she had since birth!posted 01/25/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Hi, everyone! I´m a mother of three boys, my youngest one is 12 months old and this little recipe works just wonders for me every time!!! Cammommile tea!!! Just wash up your baby´s bottom with cold or lukewarm cammommille tea (instead of using baby wipes) and then use a clean piece od cloth (cotton preferably) to absorb extra moisture in the area. I also prepare about a litre or two of this infusion and pour it into the baby´s bath. It´s very soothing and conforting... and ALL NATURAL!!! Hope this helps!

ms. yonda, i do agree with your doctor on this one. soft face cloth and water does the trick. i do that and my daughters face is clear. i also agree with that 99 year old woman. I have used vaseline every diaper change with both of my kids and never had a diaper rash. even when my daughter had the flu and was pooping every hour....not a spot on her bum. i watched them put vaseline on at the hospital with my first born, and did it ever since.posted 11/29/2011 by amanda_vonau
My friend told me that a 99 yr old woman who had her own childcare told her that she used vaseline after each diaper change and her babies never got a diaper rash. So my friend said she done that wil all her kids (2 kids and one on the way) and her kids never had a rash as well. So that is what I have been doing with my Pooter. Also my significant others grandma retired from being a nurse. She seen me with my vaseline and things about to change a diaper. She said years ago when people were in comas they would use Lard and Crisco on adults bottoms and they bottoms would be smoother than the skin on their face. So I am holding on to that because so far my Pooters bottom is cool. Also I was concerned with my baby having small bumps on her face. The pediatrician told me not to use baby wipes on her face. He said just because it says sensitive and nonallergenic and things their is still some type of chemical in their for storage. He suggested for me to use a baby's towel and water.posted 11/29/2011 by ms. yonda

Mapping the Pentium's Future
By - Source: Tom's Hardware | 0 comment
The roadmaps Intel recently sent to its manufacturing customers foreshadow the company's intention to kick the Pentium III to the curb and make way for the P4 by progressively lowering prices over the next three months. According to the Inquirer, Intel will push its 850 chipset/P4 combination for corporate platforms, and the 1.20GHz and 1.13GHz Tualatin will ship to its customers in June. The 1.3GHz P4 will disappear in Q3 of this year and 2.2GHz P4s should come to light by year's end. For a more complete overview of the P4's future check out The Inquirer . The site also has roadmaps for Intel server and mobile processors.

Keep your blood pressure under control
Aug 17, 2012, 8:30 a.m.
Learning how to control blood pressure may be an important part of your aging process. Not all seniors are troubled by hypertension or other blood related problems, but it is a complication for many.
Consider Hal Fullerton. At 64 years old, Hal is learning the value of keeping control over his blood pressure. The process began the day he awoke with a series of chest pains. In no short order, this man found out that he had high blood pressure topped off with high blood cholesterol. At only 15 pounds overweight, Hal Fullerton was at risk of having a "for-real" heart attack.
Four lifestyle changes that can help you lower high blood pressure
According to the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the following lifestyle changes will help you keep your blood pressure under control:
1) Healthy eating -- A clinical study lead by those in favor of the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) program indicate that controlled eating of fruits, low fat dairy products and vegetables help reduce total body fat and cholesterol. The entire DASH plan includes the freedom to eat fish, poultry and whole grains.
2) Reduced or low salt and sodium diet -- The DASH-Sodium addendum calls for a reduction in sodium intake.
3) Control your weight -- Even 10 pounds of excess body weight can increase your blood pressure. For long-term success, regulate your weight loss. Aim for two or three pounds a week. This means you only need to reduce by about 500 calories a day.
4) Physical activity -- Maintaining a lifestyle of moderate-level physical activities can help prevent and control high blood pressure. Take on simple chores such as raking leaves, washing a car or working in the garden. Add in some sports. Go walking. Take up swimming. Perhaps even shoot a few hoops on the local basketball court. It is not as much what you do as it that you do.
Learning how to drop your blood pressure is not difficult. The knowledge comes cheap. Having the will and the gumption to make it happen is up to you.

In 2002 he received USCSA All-American honors, as he finished eighth in the USCSA National Competition. Thoman was also named an All-Conference skier all four years in the MacConnell Conference.
Thoman is currently completing his bachelor's degree in exercise science at UMass, concentrating on the physiology and biomechanics of ski racing.
"We are all very sorry to see Igor leave," said Thoman. "Igor was a great coach and has left us with a solid foundation for the future. I'm very excited for the opportunity to pick up where he left off and bring this team back to the pinnacle of success they enjoyed last season."
He replaces Igor Vanovac, who left UMass last month after serving two years as Head Coach. The 2003 season was his most successful, as the women's squad won the USCSA National Championship as well as the Eastern Regional and Macconnell Conference. The men finished fifth at Nationals, after a second-place performance at Regionals and a third-place finish in the conference. Seven skiers were named All-Americans.
"It is very difficult to leave UMass," said Vanovac. "I have very good relationships with all of the skiers and coaches, and hope to have the same great experience in Lake Tahoe that I had at UMass.
Vanovac left the university to accept a full time position as Director of Ski Racing for the Diamond Peak ski area in Lake Tahoe, Calif.

Choosing color for your home can sometimes feel overwhelming. In this 4 part series I want to present the three aspects of color to consider when making your color decisions; the 4th part is how to actually select your paint colors.
The first step, and what I consider the most important step. is to understand how color affects you, your mood, and helps to create a feeling in your home. I'm speaking about the psychology of color.
We've all experienced walking into a space that makes us feel uneasy, revved up or plain uninspired! And, we've experienced feeling calm, happy or just plain at home.
Every color has a vibration and, depending on your personality, can determine how you will react in a space with that color. It's a vast subject, so this is simply an introduction to the concept. The best source, and my favorite, is a web site by color expert, Kate Smith, called Sensational Color.
RED: it's all about stimulation. So, don't use it if you or anyone in your family has traits such as ADD or anger issues. And do, if you want to stimulate interaction, your mind etc!
PINK: it is the color of the heart and love; used for a feminine touch and to express innocence.
ORANGE: a close sister to red, but not as intense. Fun and enthusiastic; used to warm and activate a room, but not in a bedroom if you are having a hard time sleeping.
YELLOW: Warm, sunny, inviting and sparks creativity; yellow with too much green in it can make you look and feel sallow or sickly.
GREEN: the color of spring, new beginnings, nature, ecology, and money. Green can stimulate all that, but with too much yellow in it, it can also make you look and feel sick like a greeny yellow.
BLUE: cool and calming when light, brilliant when bright, and wise when dark, blue is a great color to help maintain a cool head and even body temperature. It's not so good for people who are depressed.
PURPLE: regal and creative, light purples can also evoke youth and spark creativity. Cool when it swings toward blue, vibrant when it swings towards red. The undercurrent in the color determines the feeling it creates.
BROWN: in all shades has been THE neutral for the past 20 years. Earthy and warm, and all about organic, it's negative effects can make you feel "muddy".
GREY/GRAY/GREIGE: the new, again neutral. Warmer then before, it's sleek, classic and the perfect compromise, balanced as it is between white and black. Too much can be overwhelming for someone who is depressed.
WHITE: on one end of the color spectrum, it's pure, clean, and invites you to declutter. To much white can feel stark and cold.
BLACK: on the other end of the color spectrum, black can feel empty and void, it can also be cool and the perfect foil for every other color.
I was invited a week ago to talk about color at a local paint store, Sebastopol Hardware. I videoed it, but the sound didn't come out very well. So, I re-did it, editing and dividing it into 4 parts. Below is the first part, more in-depth then what I wrote in this post. PLEASE…bear with me, as I'm just learning to use my flip camera, and how to edit with iMovie! And boy, can we be our own worst critic. But it's a start, and one of my goals for this year! I hope that this information will help you to see how the colors you choose for your home can affect you and all who enter your home.
If you have any questions, comments or thoughts, I invite you to share them in the comment section below! I love all conversations about color.
And stay tuned for part 2 of 4 parts to come out next Tuesday. While part one is all about the color, part 2 is all about you. I hope to see you there.

not easy huh!? took me 2 days before I got even a little comfortable looking at that little eye there!
great job. Lynne
- Author
Oh you made me laugh out loud Lynne! NO, it's so not easy which is why I was so impressed by your videos. My biggest downfall is I don't have good lighting for video in my home. What with all the color on my walls, and I use a flip camera, not great. We also have so many windows, which I love, but that's definitely not great for video. So, I'm working on it. Yours just seem so effortless…and I know how hard that is to do. You are one of my role models.

This week I taught at Nav Night for the FSU Navigators for the third time in the Fall 2010 semester. It was the final Nav Night before Christmas break, and campus director Luke Skeen thought it would be appropriate for me to speak on how to continue to pursue a relationship with God over the holiday. I admit it's nice to teach something you know your listeners will be able to use immediately. I'd not ever taught this topic in a setting like this before but I've been around collegiate ministry long enough to have heard similar messages given numerous times, so I had plenty of ideas.
You can listen to this message online, plus even more by me, other staff, and our student leaders on the FSU Navigators Podcast.
A Simple Message
I have to be honest; I spent less time preparing for this Nav Night message than on any other I've ever given. Not because it wasn't worth my time, or because what I was teaching was somehow inferior. I was able to spend such a small amount of time on preparation because what I taught was a simple message. I really only made three points: (1) God's love for you isn't connected to your performance [Ephesians 2:1-10], (2) the attitude of your heart toward this break should be neither anxious nor arrogant [1 Peter 5:6-11], and (3) be willing to enter into the trials you'll likely have to face [James 1:2-5]. Three points, three passages, followed by a quick list of practical ideas on how the students could pursue God over the break (which were largely provided to me by Luke). Very straightforward.
I've gotten a lot of mileage out of Donald Miller's Your Story Series (which unfortunately is no longer available for download on his website). First I used it to help me create my workshop at the Nav men's retreat earlier this fall. For this talk I borrowed his passionate explanation of why God allows trials to exist in your life. That, in fact, He allows them there because He loves us. His words have stuck with me and ministered to me since I heard them for the first time, and I wanted to give them to these students.
If you were at Nav Night when I gave this message (or if you listen to my talk online) and would like to give feedback or ask questions you can do so in the comment section below.
This post is part of my ongoing post series, Nav Night Messages. In these posts I highlight the content and writing process of the messages I teach for The Navigators at Florida State University.

Pass is gearing up to participate in King of the Dot's Battle of the Bay 6 (BOTB 6). The Oakland, California rapper is set to battle DNA at the event. Recently, Pass spoke with HipHopDX about the match-up.
"I think my battle with DNA has potential to be the most competitive battle of the night," Pass said in an exclusive statement to HipHopDX. "Our styles are hella different, but we actually came up similarly even though we came up on different coasts. We both originally got our name out there from doing off-the-top freestyle battles on our local scenes and did some battles for Grind Time Now. With that said, our shit is completely different. The style clash will be crazy."
Pass' last battle was against Remy D as part of King of the Dot's Alcatraz event. That battle can be viewed below.
Pass Previews Dizaster Vs. Aye Verb & John John Da Don Vs. The Saurus
Aside from Pass' battle versus DNA, other notable match-ups are set to take place at BOTB 6. Pass spoke about two main battles scheduled to go down.
"Dizaster and Aye Verb is the battle I'm looking forward to the most," Pass said. "Dizaster is killing everybody right now, and Aye Verb is obviously a beast, so I'm just excited to see that live. Definitely looking forward to my homie Illmaculate's comeback. I know he's been sittin' on some shit."
Ilmmaculate is set to face off against Bigg K at the event.
During the interview, Pass was asked to predict the winner of two of the more anticipated match-ups of the evening: John John Da Don versus The Saurus, and Aye Verb versus Dizaster.
"I'm going with The Saurus over John John Da Don," Pass said. "I like John John, but The Saurus is just too good at breaking somebody's whole shit down. I don't think I can call who wins between Aye Verb & Dizaster, honestly. Their styles are kind of similar, if you listen closely. They both use a lot of rhyme schemes, patterns, and they're both really good at it. If Diz keeps up at the rate he is now, he's pretty much untouchable, but I know Verb is capable of keeping up with Diz. It should be interesting."
Pass Explains Battle Of The Bay Series' Significance
Battle of the Bay has been an ongoing Battle Rap event series largely organized by Lush One, now affiliated with King of the Dot. The event had its start in 2008. According to Pass, this event has been a meaningful one for Battle Rap.
"The Battle of the Bay events are a staple in Battle Rap history," Pass said. "So many legendary battles have taken place at those functions: myself and Hollow, Arsonal and Conceited, Dumbfoundead and Tantrum, Okwerdz and Jaze Juice, Illmac and Dizaster, Illmac and Thesaurus. They're all classics, honestly. All of them took place in Oakland, California, my hometown. It's great for it to come back with the best card of the year, how it should be. I'm definitely juiced to be a part of it once again."
Of all those battles, Pass said he might select one as the best.
"It's hard for me to pinpoint one battle as my favorite, or the best, from the Battle of the Bay series," Pass said. "So many different styles and battles that are classics in their own right. Illmac vs The Saurus might have been the best. Being there live was pretty epic."
Battle of the Bay 6's flyer can be viewed below.

East Coast Tour 2005
Posted By etnies in Surf, Skip To The Comments (0)
Nov 9 2005 / Wednesday
The Boys, the RV and Cape Hatteras
Here's a recap of the September East Coast etnies surf tour that went down in the words of the etnies RV master, Nick U:
The tour started in Orlando, Florida, three days after the Surf Expo tradeshow. All told there were three surfers and one team manager and then myself, five in all. Of course everyone arrived separately over a period of two days but by day three everyone was eager to go.
On board we had Jun Jo, CJ Kanuha, Keith Malloy and their fearless leader and etnies Team Manager, Brandon Lillard. As we waited for CJ to show up, the four of us headed off to the coast and on our way in, we stopped off at Mike Andruszkos' office which he shares with Brian who owns BAT, a board shaper well known in the area. The day was spent visiting three stores near Indiatlantic and Cocoa Beach including the store, AOE co-owned by Brian. Each of our visits were un-announced so the stores were somewhat un-prepared to see us. They were however stoked to see the bus pull up and Jun Jo, Keith and Brandon chatted with employees and management at each location. Before leaving, we left them with a few signed posters for the store and a handful of the East Coast Surf Tour shirts.
Surfing was not the order of the day so after our visits we headed back towards the hotel in Orlando and met up wit CJ who had arrived from the airport under his own steam. During the day, it had been decided that we would veer off the original plan of heading north and took a westerly route towards the Gulf Coast, Mexico Beach, just south-east of Panama City.
So we left that night, around 9 pm and drove till 2 am and found ourselves about 60 miles from out intended location in an I-10 rest stop. Sleeping eight in the bus was difficult to say the least but we managed to get about five hours of shut-eye before heading out the next morning. Breakfast was Burger King, enough said on that subject.
Hurricane Rita was doing her thing, whipping up waves not often seen in that area. Unfortunately, waves were not all that was coming ashore. All of the near-deadly sediment which laid at the bottom of the Gulf was now being stirred and this caused some of us to tear up, cough and in some cases, after spending time in the water, feel a little nauseous. Not to mention the hundreds of dead fish that had been washed up along the shore. Nothing stops these guys from surfing the best waves the coast had to offer and by the end of the day, we had made two stops to surf the same location, despite the foul water.
In tow on this side trip were Brian, CT and Kevin who joined up with us to film the event. The side trip proved to be fruitful, both for the filmer and the surfers and at the end of the day we went our separate ways and off the five of us drove to our overnight destination in Kingsland, Georgia just north of the Florida border. By the time we had rolled in it was time to hit the sack and that's exactly what we did. The mileage for the next day was not all that far so we didn't hit the road until about 9 am. We decided to try breakfast at the Cracker Barrel and when there we were approached by three young gentlemen who informed us of a local store, Satilla Boardsports not far from the restaurant that was having an event later in the day. Unfortunately, due to time restrictions we were unable to hang out for the event but we did manage to stop by for a quick visit.
We continued on our way after this brief visit and made it through Georgia and South Carolina before getting over the border into North Carolina. Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach was our destination that evening and we pulled in to our campsite around 8 pm, which was not really early enough to surf however.
The boys went out for a night out on the town, danced with a few ladies, had a few beers and made it back by about 2 am. This was to be another short night for sleep and we hit the road the next morning at around 8 am. We began our journey northwards towards Cape Hatteras, which for the geographically challenged is that small arm that hangs off the northern coast of the state. After a two-hour ferry ride and then another 45-minute crossing we found ourselves one step closer to the Hatteras Lighthouse area.
Surf on this half-mile-wide sandbar is abundant with pull-outs every few miles for beach and surf access. By the time we arrived at our destination, it was decided it was a little to late to hit the waves so we booked into a hotel up and found a restaurant not far from our location and settled in for the night.
Come the next morning we headed off in search of whatever the Hatteras area had to offer and after about an hour of scouting, we were flagged down by a pair of local surfers who directed us to a spot about five miles north of our starting point. This was just one of those beach access pull-outs I'd mentioned earlier. I parked the bus and the boys went to check the waves, coming back within a few minutes, eager to hit the water. They disappeared over the dunes and returned about an hour later, happy to have stopped, happy to have surfed.
As we continued north it was decided that our next port-of-call would be Virginia Beach, one of the better known surf spots on the East Coast. Here, we had three scheduled stops to visit' all within half a mile or so of each other. VB has a number of large surf mega-stores offering pretty much any brand you can think of. We stopped, we signed posters, we chatted with store owners and employees and then we headed out towards the southern end of town, near Third Street. The beach was pumping and a number of locals were sessioning but many stopped to watch as the boys took to the water. This was only a brief stop as we were headed to Ocean City, Maryland which was our destination for that day and we had some miles to cover if we were going to get any further surfing in for that day.
We pulled into OC, MD at around 2 pm and after our usual visit with one of the local stores, K-Coast the boys were "talked" into scoping out one of the local surf spots not far from the store. The owner of the store agreed to run the guys down to the spot to check conditions and within about 20 minutes they had returned and were ready for action. I started the bus and everyone bundled on and we were off. Within five minutes we were parked and within another five everyone was headed off to the water. Everyone was stoked on the store owner who had taken his time to get them sorted and they managed to get in a good hours worth of surfing before it was time to head to our final destination, New York City.
This was our last day on the road, it was a short trip but fun. The stores we visited were genuinely amped on our visits and were equally stoked on chatting with the lads. Keep an eye out for the etnies bus in the near future—coming to a wave near you.
There's more photos than we knew what to do with from this trip! Check 'em out!

How i can have the real ip of clients with the configuration below:
Hw Load balancing with F5 Network Bigip Appliance - HTTPS TCP 443 (172.18.185.50 public interface --- NODE1:172.19.100.207,NODE2:172.19.100.206,VIPIP:17 184.108.40.206 inside interface)

I have an F5 that balancing and masquering my zimbra proxy on the same machine that ZimbraWebmail (two machine)
When a client X(for example 172.18.37.56) is calling the 172.18.185.50 (public interface F5-Load-Balancing-Appliance) in the audit log for the 172.19.100.47 and 172.19.100.48 (mailbox-servers) there are the ip of the inside interface of F5-Bigip (172.19.100.206,172.19.100.207) and not the of the client.
The F5-Bigip have the function "insert X-Forwrded-For" enabled. Always for the zimbra "zimbra_http_originating_ip_header = X-Forwarded-For".
How i can solve the problem?
I'm needing to change the nginx config to intercept the client ip.
Thanks in advance
Sorry for my english!!!
