Ditching the Illusion of Youth
Christine: You look great. Gray suits you!! I am tired of coloring my hair and have no interest in primping the body. However, I'm still working, and gray = old in the world of work, especially for women, so until I get a new job (probably the last before I retire), color it is. No biggie.
Sundari: Actually, I think it is a biggie if you are attached to the idea of age being important, even though the body is mithya. What "the world" tells us is a lie. I did not have to go grey, because actually I have very little grey, but I wanted to ditch the pretense and attachment to the idea of youthfulness. What for and who for? Especially when I am unborn and undying. Who cares how anyone sees the body if it is not you? When the last binding vasana was dispatched by self-knowledge, there was a need to bring the outward appearance in line with my inner knowledge – which is beyond time and ageless.
At this point, it was no longer a biggie, but it does feel right to be grey. My physical appearance, as unimportant as it is, feels aligned with my true appearance as the ageless self. I realised what James has always said is true. Age or attractiveness has nothing to do with outward appearance. It is only the presence and confidence of the self that is really attractive. It was my daughter who was most against me going grey because she was afraid that being grey meant I would die sooner. But she loves it.
Christine: After reading what you have written about going gray, I'm going to try it. I'll send you a pic once the transformation is complete. I'm not completely gray either, so we'll see. I'm not sure about South Africa, but here there is ageism which is unfortunately a fact of life. So one needs to keep a youthful appearance even if one doesn't care about youth or buy into it. However, as James says, it has nothing to do with the outward appearance. It's funny but when I'm in Florida I just wear my Thai fisherman pants, t-shirts and flip-flops, no color, nothing, and I couldn't care less.
It's interesting that your daughter equates going gray with getting older and dying. I never had that association. I'm thinking that it simply reflects the freedom that I already am.
Sundari: Good for you Christine, have the balls to fly in the face of public opinion – you will be amazed how freeing it is and also how wrong public opinion is when you know who you are and don't give a shit about it. Being the self in every way is the sexiest, healthiest and most sane thing possible!
~ Love, Sundari

Styling Column Headers
Before reading this topic, you might find it useful to get familiar with the Template Structure of the GridViewHeaderCell.
In this article we will discuss the following topics:
Figure 1: GridViewHeaderCell template structure
Targeting the GridViewHeaderCell element
In order to style all header cells in your application, you should create an appropriate style targeting the GridViewHeaderCell element.
You have two options:
To create an empty style and set it up on your own.
To copy the default style of the control and modify it.
To learn how to modify the default GridViewHeaderCell style, please refer to the Modifying Default Styles article.
Example 1: Styling all header cells of an application
<Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewHeaderCell">
<Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Top"/>
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
If you're using Implicit Styles, you should base your style on the GridViewHeaderCellStyle.
Setting a Column's HeaderCellStyle
RadGridView header cells can also be styled by creating an appropriate Style for the GridViewHeaderCell element and setting it as the HeaderCellStyle property of the respective GridView Column.
Example 2: Setting a column's HeaderCellStyle
<telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="ID"
DataMemberBinding="{Binding EmployeeID}"
HeaderCellStyle="{StaticResource GridViewHeaderCellStyle}" />

After the American Revolution, dissent in the next war presents a special case; the war did not last long enough, or amount to enough as a military operation accompanied by casualties, for the effects of duration to have much play, but in its origins the war was perhaps the most politically controversial in the history of the country. It was the Quasi-War with France of 1797–1800. With the American political system still in process of formation, and partisan political opposition still widely regarded as illegitimate, it was hardly more a war against France, however, than a war conducted by the Federalists, who controlled the executive branch and Congress, against the Jeffersonian Republican opposition. French depredations against American maritime commerce and the XYZ Affair precipitated naval conflict with the French. Yet the causes of the war never ran deep enough to generate even a brief initial enthusiasm—despite the XYZ Affair—in more than a few localities. Moreover, the Federalists used the war to push through Congress authorizations of substantial increases in the army, although President John Adams remarked that as for an enemy army for this force to fight, "At present there is no more prospect of seeing a French army here than there is in Heaven." Stephen G. Kurtz's conclusion is that the new army, whose officers were carefully screened to assure their Federalist partisanship, was to be the tangible instrument for suppressing Jeffersonianism—a political army to cow the opposition. Against this threat to the antimilitary tradition and against the Quasi-War that nourished the threat, dissent became so sharp that Kurtz also concludes that fear and resentment of the political army ranked with the notorious Alien and Sedition Acts as a cause of disaffection from the Federalists and thus of the Republican "revolution" in the election of 1800.
Historians can perceive a deeper stream of causation leading to the War of 1812 than to the Quasi-War. In 1812 there was a fuller, more widespread patriotic spirit generated by the conviction that longstanding British refusal to grant the United States the rights of independent nationhood at sea represented a threat to the very independence of the Republic. Nevertheless, to the Federalists, now reduced to the role of opposition, the War of 1812 appeared as much a partisan war conceived for the political benefit of the rival party and for the ruination of themselves as the Quasi-War had seemed to the Republicans. By 1812 the Federalist Party had become a sectional party; except for enclaves of strength in the Carolinas, Philadelphia, and New York City, it was a New England party, and its interests and those of New England had come to seem indistinguishable. For commercial New England, the War of 1812 was the hideous culmination of a perverse Republican policy of countering British and French depredations against maritime commerce by terminating American overseas commerce altogether. For New England, no cause of the old revolution had loomed larger than the Boston Port Act; now the Republican strangulation, not just of Boston's but of all New England's commerce, naturally suggested a Boston Port Act much magnified. Thus, if the Boston Port Act had offered just cause for withdrawing from the British Empire despite all the benefits and ties of loyalty that the empire represented, then some New England Federalists saw Republican restrictions upon commerce as cause for seceding from the American Union. Republican trade restrictions and the ensuing war seemed all the more perverse to the Federalists because unlike the Republicans, the Federalists saw Great Britain as the defender of all people's rights against a revolutionary France whose excesses had descended into Napoleonic tyranny, while the Republicans responded to both French and British maritime depredations with an increasingly anti-British policy leading at last to a war whose only beneficiary was likely to be Napoleon.
The vote of the New England members of the House of Representatives, except for frontier Vermont, on the war resolution of 4 June 1812, was nineteen against war, nine for, and three not voting—surely a clear alignment against the war, although not nearly so one-sided as some accounts might suggest. Connecticut and Massachusetts soon rejected federal calls for their militia, and Rhode Island and New Hampshire supplied only a handful of militiamen for federal service in 1812. Federalist Governor Caleb Strong of Massachusetts proclaimed a fast day to mourn a war "against the nation from which we are descended," and New England Federalist leaders generally made no secret of their displeasure with the war. Nevertheless, New England's passive dissent threatened to turn into active resistance to the Republican administration only when the badly conceived war proved to be badly fought as well. Then twenty-six New England Federalists met in late 1814 at the Hartford Convention, "to protest," in the words of James M. Banner, Jr., "against the inept Republican management of the war with Great Britain and the whole system of Republican administration since Jefferson's election … to force the federal government to provide defensive help."
Early in the conflict, New England profited from it. Hoping to encourage New England's disaffection, Great Britain at first did not apply its naval blockade of the United States to New England. In the spring of 1814, however, with Napoleon defeated and Great Britain free to devote major military attentions to the American war, the British decided that making New England bear some of the brunt of the conflict would be a more productive encouragement to dissent. On 31 May 1814 the blockade was extended to the whole United States coast. Worse, British invasion of New England followed. In July an expedition from Halifax, Nova Scotia, took Eastport in the District of Maine; by early September, Lieutenant General John Sherbrooke had entered the Penobscot, taken possession of the whole Maine coast east of that river, and claimed the coast as far as New Brunswick. Towns around Cape Cod were raided, and under British guns Nantucket declared its neutrality. What brought the Hartford Convention movement to a head, according to established scholarship, was the inability of the government in Washington to provide respectable defense against these British attacks. The Federalist state governments and the Republican federal government still quarreled over who was to control the militia, the New England states insisting that in the crisis they must retain command of their militia for their own defense but that the federal government should pay the costs of defense. When early in 1815 Congress authorized compensation of state forces by the federal government, it met what Banner calls the Federalists' "central demand"; Harrison Gray Otis, perhaps the most influential Massachusetts Federalist, thought that passage of such an act earlier would have forestalled the Hartford Convention altogether.
This issue of defense was certainly more central to the Hartford Convention than the plots of secession that have sometimes been charged against the convention. The convention was engineered by the moderate leadership of the New England Federalist Party, of whom Otis was one example and George Cabot, the president of the convention, another, in order to press for effective action for defense and against Republican mismanagement. At the same time New England Federalists kept the political initiative in their section in their own hands—those of pragmatic politicians—and out of the hands of moralists, often led by the clergy, who increasingly couched their opposition to the Republicans in absolutist moral terms and were in fact likely to move toward extreme action, even including disruption of the Union. A convention of party leaders was an affair the pragmatists could control, and they did, confining the Hartford Convention to resolutions on behalf of federal support for state self-defense and proposals for constitutional amendments to pare the power of the Republican dynasty in Washington. This outcome fulfilled George Cabot's prediction that he could tell exactly what the convention would produce, namely, "a great pamphlet."
A delegation including Otis carried the Hartford resolutions to Washington, leaving Boston just after they learned of Andrew Jackson's victory at the Battle of New Orleans and arriving in the capital just in time for the celebrations of the Treaty of Ghent that ended the war in February 1815. Holding the convention and passing its resolutions were probably necessary to divert the New England extremists and maintain, for the time being, a viable Federalist Party in New England. But enough secessionist overtones were imputed to the Hartford Convention that Federalism was forever damned elsewhere for disloyalty in time of war.

The key to improvfrig performance appraisals in organizations may be the leadership exchange processes that occur between managers and subordinates. We suggest two ways in which this might unfold: (a) the direct relationships among leadership attention, tenure with supervisor, and actual performance appraisal rating and (b) the cqnfiguration of these three variables around the organization's structure in which differences between supervisory groups are highlighted. Our findings suggest that all three variables are significantly related. For leadership attention and performance appraisal, an individual-level model best applies. A group model is implied for leaders~ip attention and tenure with supervisor, whereby entire supervisory groups that have longer tenure with their supervisor also receive, on average, higher amounts of leadership attention.

Texas is dealing with high amounts of mycotoxins in its corn crop this year, and farmers in neighboring states are being advised to be on the lookout.
Past reports covered in Neogen's weekly Monday Mycotoxin and Crop Reports have shown high levels of DON, aflatoxin, fumonisins and T-2/HT-2 in new crop corn, and that trend seems to be continuing. Levels reported require that harvested crop continue to be tested and that quality adjustments be made.
The Corn Producers Association of Texas explains that testing can be conducted by elevators, grain exchanges or approved independent labs. After testing, numbers above U.S. guidance levels mean that farmers should follow Paragraph 1109 of the Loss Adjustment Manual Standard Handbook.
The association also offers this advice to farmers who suspect a mycotoxin problem:
- Inform insurance providers before harvest, storage or destruction of the cornfield.
- An adjuster must collect samples of a representative sample area before grain enters storage or the field is destroyed. Only the adjuster has approval to take standing crop samples.
- An approved insurance provider or approved facility can analyze the samples.
Says the association,
"Without following the above guidelines, should a farmer begin harvest, and deliver to an elevator, processor or other facility, any mycotoxin testing completed by the accepting facility cannot be accepted for insurance purposes unless the facility has the capabilities to meet the criteria as an AIP-approved testing facility. In order for samples to be accepted for insurance purposes, instructions must be obtained from the adjuster for the farmer's insurance company."
Neogen offers comprehensive product lines to detect mycotoxins. Click here for more information.

The Learning and Healing Organization
Annotation for The Learning and Healing Organization
Inayatullah S.. 2007. The Learning and Healing Organization. Questioning the Future: Methods and Tools for Organizational and Societal Transformation.
Proposes the concept of a healing organization as an addition to learning organizations.
Geographic Focus:
Key Findings:
The inner health of an organization should not be overlooked in the creation and evaluation of a learning organisation. Organizations may be considered to be learning organisations when assessed by specific criteria, but may nonetheless fail to adequately address deeper crises of wellbeing and connection. For this reason, organizational success should consider the healing organization alongside its capacity as a learning organization. The inner health of an organization, reflected by happy people, leads to improved, more meaningful, and sustained outcomes.
This article represents a timely reminder that is both simple and profound: the process of learning should be enjoyable. In turbulent times, where broad societal change can be both troubling and challenging for individuals and collectives, the need for learning can overwhelm more fundamental needs of human wellbeing such as joy, contentment, sense-making and deeper meaning. The central lesson for adaptive learning is that learning should not only be about critical performance criteria, but should include cycles of wellness in which an organisation and its people reflect happiness.

Medical Genetics
Medical Genetics and Rare Diseases
Public lectures, talks are in Czech
Rare disease means diseases that occur in the population with a frequency of less than 1 per 2,000 inhabitants. The Ministry of Health established an interdisciplinary and interdepartmental committee for rare diseases bringing together experts, representatives of patients, and health insurance companies in 2009. The aim of the work of this committee is to coordinate the creation of specialized interdisciplinary centres that provide comprehensive specialized care for patients with rare diseases. The main coordination centre is based at the FN Motol, Prague. The University Hospital, Brno cooperates very closely with this centre.
Rare diseases are complex, largely genetic (or inherited) diseases with a low incidence in the population that have an impact on the quality of life and social inclusion of the patient, or threaten their life. Often these are diseases for which there is insufficient information in both the medical community and among laypeople. On the other hand, there are several thousand individual diagnoses of severe diseases; progressive, usually significantly shortens life expectancy and last but not least, significantly affecting the quality of the life of patients and their families. Although each disease is rare, as a whole, causing up to 8% of morbidity and mortality in the European Union. The care of a patient with a rare disease usually requires broad interdisciplinary care of specialists educated in the matter. Understanding of this complex area of medicine is not easy for medical staff and it is difficult for the public to understand this issue.
Clinical geneticists and molecular biologists have a rare opportunity to participate in interdisciplinary cooperation, are members of many teams whose aim is to improve the quality of the life of patients suffering from rare diseases and may contribute to the emergence of these teams.

Using a personal loan as your online poker fund
Online poker and personal loans – surprisingly – go hand in hand. Around the world, borrowers are using their personal loans as buy-in money. While there's nothing wrong with this strategy, utmost care is needed. In one wrong move, your personal loan might go down the drain. Make sure that you already know the tips and tricks of poker before using any loan.
Do you want to use a personal loan as your online poker fund? These are some helpful strategies:
Go for Low Amount Loans
Finding the best personal loan lender today is not too much of a problem. There are hundreds of lenders that you can choose from. Once you've pinpointed the right lender, you should apply for a small amount. A huge amount will bring a false sense of confidence, and it will affect your performance in the table. With a relatively small amount, you'll be more careful and wary.
Check the Online Poker App
If you found the best lender, it's time to move on to the next step. You should look for the best online poker app that's worth your time and effort. You can pick from hundreds of options, but only few are really acceptable. Always check reviews and the official accreditation of chosen poker apps. Don't be swayed by 'free buy-in' offers, vouchers, discounts, and other marketing hooks.
Marginal Gaming: Play It Safe
In the beginning of your online poker career, you should play it safe. While other poker players will advise you against this, playing safe has clear advantages. First, you can observe which tables are really profitable in the long-term. Second, you'll get a feel of the platform, allowing you to ride the tide if necessary. Just bear in mind that this is only a short-term strategy. Create variations of your game play so that other opponents will have a difficult time reading your actions.
Scale Accordingly
After a couple of winning games, you'll probably feel a great deal of accomplishment. All poker players are susceptible for this, but you have to be more careful. Do you think you have what it takes to play in big and bad tables? If you already surged past your initial capital, then you need to make calculated decisions. Scale your game properly, and you'll rake many poker victories along the way.
As soon as you start raking wins, don't keep your mind off

In New Zealand we generate more than half of our electricity from hydro generation.
How hydroelectricity works
Hydroelectric schemes use gravity to drive water through turbines, converting that energy into electricity.
Schemes need continuous, year-round water supplies and vertical drops for water to fall down. Water from streams, rivers or dams flows down steep pipes into turbines, which drive power generators. The water then flows back into a river or stream below the hydro plant.
Hydro dams, like Benmore, Manapouri, and Clyde, store enough water for schemes to be switched on as required. But run-of-river systems, which don't have dams, need water to flow year-round down rivers that have steep enough natural drops to power their turbines.
Large scale generation schemes (above 10 MW capacity) are more difficult and expensive to build, but produce large amounts of electricity at low cost. Smaller scale generation (below 10 MW capacity and including micro-hydro schemes that generate less than 10 kW), can be cheaper and easier to build and get consent for, but generate less electricity at a higher cost.
Pros and cons of hydroelectricity
Water stored in dams can be turned into electricity in minutes - a process that gives off no greenhouse gases. However, building dams has great impact on the environment.
Where enough water can be stored, hydroelectricity is reliable and consistent. However New Zealand has relatively small water storage capacity, and water supplies that can vary greatly from year to year. This means we need to monitor closely how much water we have for hydro schemes. The growth in wind-powered generation has eased the hydro sector's concerns about variable water supply - wind supply is more predictable than water supply, making the supply of renewable electricity more predictable and stable.
The future of hydroelectricity
Hydroelectricity generation will continue to provide the backbone of New Zealand's electricity system. There is still significant scope to develop new hydroelectricity generation in New Zealand, but as the major opportunities have already been taken, and there is keen public interest in preserving our waterways, large projects are unlikely.
EECA provides information on small scale hydro generation and resources for local government to help develop renewable energy in New Zealand, including assessments of regional renewable energy potential.

|Zeiss Ikon Colora
The shutter is a Gauthier Prontor 125 - three speeds offered, 1/30, 1/60 and 1/125. The aperture runs from f2.8 (quite fast for a cheap camera) to f22. The lens is a Novicar - not a top of the range lens, but one capable of good results. As with all lenses, it will give its best results if stopped down to f5.6 or f8. The focussing scale is in both feet and metres - which means that Zeiss Ikon could sell the camera in all countries without modification.
This camera feels very light and plasticky and completely lacks the feel of quality and engineering that I usually associate with Zeiss Ikon. Cheapness shows in the square iris - this camera will not give nice bokeh

|Counterfeit Chip-Flusher
Three players in the tournament, Jacob Musterel, Farid Vaghefi and Steven Celeste, were not happy with the New Jersey DGE's decision and as such launched a class-action lawsuit against the DGE for its decision and against the Borgata for its failure to recognize the counterfeit chips until very late in the tournament.
They claimed that the redistribution of chips greatly disfavored them because they had chips left while the majority of players who received parts of the redistribution did not, and that the majority of the players who received the paybacks had never even gone up in a hand against Lusarti, therefore they did not really suffer any losses because of Lusardi's fake chips.
This case was the last of several other similar suits against the NJ DGE, and the plaintiffs lost in all of them, including their appeals.
My take: This was a very interesting case, and I agree with the plaintiffs that they were shortchanged in not receiving bigger parts of the redistribution, but at the same time I understand the difficulty that would have ensued trying to administer the redistribution according to what each player's actual probabilities of winning the tournament were at the time the decision to refund the remaining prize money was made.
And the best part of this all? That was certainly when Lusardi was caught trying to flush hundreds more of these counterfeit poker chips down the toilet at Harrah's casino...fucking up the bathroom's plumbing!!! LOL

GMC Recognition and Approval of Trainers
The General Medical Council (GMC) introduced new arrangements for the recognition and approval of trainers from 2013-2014. 'Trainers' in this context are named educational supervisors and named clinical supervisors in postgraduate training. The GMC have developed a more comprehensive framework of standards that use the seven areas set out by the Academy of Medical Educators. There are seven domain areas that Local Education Providers (LEPs) e.g. hospitals, will use to show how they identify, train and appraise trainers:
- Ensuring safe and effective patient care through training
- Establishing and maintaining an environment for learning
- Teaching and facilitating learning
- Enhancing learning through assessment
- Supporting and monitoring educational progress
- Guiding personal and professional development
- Continuing professional development as an educator
For more information, please refer to the GMC's Recognition and Approval of Trainers web pages.
How the RCoA Anaesthetists as Educators Programme can support trainers in meeting the requirements for GMC Recognition and Approval of Trainers
The Anaesthetists as Educators programme comprises three courses:
- Anaesthetists as Educators: An Introduction
- Anaesthetists as Educators: Teaching and Training in the Workplace
- Anaesthetists as Educators: Educational Supervision
The course content for each of the courses is mapped to the seven domains and participation in the courses will provide supporting evidence towards the GMC approval process for trainers.

Not only do people buy a lot of Honda Accords and Civics each year, apparently thieves also steal a lot of them too as the pair topped this year's most stolen vehicle list. The vehicles are consistently among the top five vehicles stolen each year, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) and its annual "Hot Wheels" report. Last year, 53,995 Accords and 45,001 Civic sedans were stolen. If you just bought a new Accord, do not panic: it's primarily models built before 1997, according to statistics, that are stolen. Models built before that time are easier to steal due to changes made to ignitions after that year. The rest of the top 10 are the Chevrolet Silverado (27,809), Ford F-series (26,594),Toyota Camry (14,420), Dodge Ram (11,347), Dodge Caravan (10,911), Jeep Cherokee/Grand Cherokee (9,272),Toyota Corolla (9,010) and Nissan Altima (8,892).

Word of the Day
Dec. 13, 2018
1 John 1-3 (Click to Read Today's Word at Biblegateway.com)
Truth for Today
1 John 1:9 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Each night when I get ready for bed I take my medicine. It is medication that is supposed to lower my cholesterol which helps keep my heart healthy. It's a discipline I don't forget because of its importance to my well-being.
There is a discipline that is even more important to our well-being…our spiritual well being. It is the discipline of confession. Yes…that's right…the discipline of confession. John challenges believers with this assurance, "If (when) we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
I know you have heard, "Confession is good for the soul." It is very good for the soul. Too often we get burdened down with guilt and shame and remorse that makes us feel dirty and awful. But when we "confess" our sins…we find a faithful Father who forgives and cleanses.
Just what is confession? I am glad you asked that question. Confession is simply agreeing with God about our sin. It isn't informing Him that we have sinned. He knows our sin in great detail. He knows every thought…every action…every deed done throughout the day. He isn't surprised by anything we tell Him. In confession to HIM we agree with Him that sin is in our life and that we are hopeless without His grace and forgiveness. And by the way…make sure it's specific and to point. For example, "Lord, I sinned today by getting angry in line at Wal-Mart and I ask Youto forgive me." But, you know what HE might do? He might tell you to go to Wal-Mart and ask that girl running the checkout lane to forgive you as well.
There is not a friend like Jesus who takes our sins and sorrows and casts them as far as the east is from the west. Go to Him in confession…its really good for you.
Father, I am a sinner in need of Your grace…I say what I ought not to say…I do things I ought not to do… please forgive me…In Jesus Name…AMEN!!!

Mysterious Modular Device comes in pieces and you assemble it yourself. You aren't quite sure what all the pieces do but you know you need all of them for the device to function. The device is an integral part of your life, and so the complete device also completes you.
Mysterious Modular Device is a commentary on what Albert Borgmann describes as the dichotomy between opaque and articulate design. Modern consumer electronics are typically opaque in their design in that it obscures mechanism and function as opposed to expressing it, because of this our cell phones now have capabilities far beyond our ability to understand or relate. Mysterious Modular Device attempts to articulate the seemingly benign but potentially sinister nature of the opaque black boxes we take for granted.

A 2-day event held this past weekend, the Wizard World Toronto Comicon was pretty amazing.
I'm starting to see a pattern of people who attend all toy/SF/hobby related conventions here in Southern Ontario - and it's great to see everyone out again.
I also met quite a few new people, as well and spent the weekend fielding tons of questions and requests about custom action figures. My friend Shane helped tend the table, and I got the explore Toronto again with friends after each day.
I also got my photo with a (female) Optimus Prime. How cool is that? ;)
There was one boy in particular who stopped by my table and asked some very well thought out questions about toys, making customs, and having a convention table. He couldn't have been more than 8 years old too! Just one of many interesting people at Wizard World this year. :)

The eventual rise of Longboat Key
Longboat Key: Circus times to today
Our story picks up from last week on the history of Longboat Key
While John Ringling had eyes on developing his circus on the mainland, he had a keen sense for the barrier islands as a real estate developer. He was the visionary for bringing his circus to Sarasota in 1927 and purchasing land in the Sarasota area. It was that period before then in which he purchased much of the south end of Longboat Key, an undeveloped Bird Key, St. Armands Key and a couple smaller keys. He set out to create a grand playground for the rich to vacation in this slice of paradise.
A short time before then, another developer Owen Burns had his own plans for developing Sarasota and the barrier islands, starting with the development of the Lido Key Beach. Before World War I, under his Burns Realty Company and the Burns Construction Company he was instrumental in its development and the area now known as Burns Court in Sarasota.
He and Ringling together were working together to manage the tremendous growth they had seen for the area. This is where we pick up from last week on the early years of Longboat Key, and progress to what is today Longboat Key.
St. Armands Circle was a vision Ringling had for shops and dining. He purchased a home under construction to be used for Warren G. Harding as a winter White House for the president. This was a great growth spurt for the area during this period of the roaring twenties. Ringling also set out to construct the first Ringling Bridge from Sarasota to St. Armands Key in 1925. It was then that his grandest illusion was forming, the construction of a Ritz-Carlton branded hotel that would be the invitation for the rich and famous.
Tragedy struck in many forms. In 1921 a hurricane devastated the area and created a New Pass inlet that now separates Lido Key from Longboat Key. Ringling may have used this as an omen to build his Ritz-Carlton on the southern edge of Longboat Key overlooking New Pass. A bigger set-back may have been the economic breakdown and land bust during the Great Depression that started in 1929. It didn't stop there, there was the death of his beloved wife, Mable, also in 1929. The project was abandoned and the empty shell of this great hotel would sit idle for many years. John Ringling himself would pass on several years later.
One of the first developments on the island began in 1935 when Gordon and Lora Whitney purchased Gulf to Bay property on Longboat Key and built 13 cottages on the northern end of island. These were resort-style properties with a tennis court for use by guests. Whitney Beach was popular and even used during WWII to house servicemen. The resort would close in 1957 and some of the cottages moved to different locations. One of the last remaining cottages was moved to the northeast corner at Gulf of Mexico Drive and Broadway Street. It will be repurposed as a Longboat Key historical museum and greeting center for visitors entering from Bradenton and Anna Maria Island.
Longboat Key would make modest gains in the years following, certainly not at the fervor pace that Ringling had set. Development was slow to a point that even in 1942 the U.S. Air Force saw the barren land on Longboat Key and determined it would be a great location for use as 50-caliber target practice at the beginning of World War II. For a few hours a day P-40 aircraft would strafe the mid-section of the island in their practice sessions.
The town had seen moderate growth following the war and the town would vote to incorporate in November 1955 by nearly a unanimous vote of nearly 100 citizens. Eight commissioners were elected that day, the Honorable Wilfred LaPage was selected among them as the first mayor of Longboat Key. The anniversary is next week.
Longboat Key was to see its next growth spurt. Arthur Vining Davis, with his namesake company by combining the first two letters of his name, Arvida Corporation, made a major investment in Longboat Key by buying up Ringling property holdings from Bird Key to mid-Longboat Key. In the years following the 1958 purchase, the 91-year old Davis with his corporation made great strides in the development of Longboat Key. It was a modern era of growth.
Under Arvida's commitment, Bird Key was forming from a small area of land to a tropical island of well-planned canals and streets. Dredging and land fill expanded the land mass from 12 acres to 250 acres by the early 1960s. Stately homes were built to attract celebrities. The Bird Key Yacht Club was formed in 1959 to become a center post of activity. Today Bird Key is a family-oriented community where you can visit with neighbors on the street, walk your pet or take a relaxing ride on a bike in this gated community.
Arvida was also responsible for the development of Country Club Shores on the south end of the island with its series of canals with direct access to the bay. Arvida was responsible for much of the Bay Isles development, with communities that were distinctly different from each other. Bay Isles is a gated set of communities and its owners have deeded access to the Bay Isles Beach Club. Grand Bay, with its six buildings on the bay is a prime example of this luxury development. Fairway and Marina Bay offer similar lifestyles. Corey's Landing has its villas with maintenance-free living. Next door is Queens Harbour with single and two-story upscale homes.
Arvida soon began one of its biggest projects where the abandoned Ritz-Carlton hotel started by Ringling sat deteriorating. It demolished the structure in 1964 and started its plans for the Longboat Key Club where the degrading structure stood. An 18-hole golf course was built near the structure. The Longboat Key Club is now comprised of two championship golf courses, marina in a protected harbor, tennis courts and fine restaurants. Ocean Properties purchased the resort in 2012 and plans are underway to expand with hotels and family residences, discussed in this REALTALKplus™ article.
The Colony Beach and Tennis Resort was also beginning its rise in the 1960s. It would grow to become one of the world's renown centers for training rising stars in professional tennis. Celebrities gathered there to relax. George Bush stayed at the resort on September 10, 2001 before attending a class demonstration at Booker Elementary School the next day. It was there that he was informed of the hijacking of American airplanes. The Colony fell into bankruptcy and eventually closed in 2010.
But the Colony may rise again. The Orlando company, Unicorp National under its president, Chuck Whittall, have plans to demolish the existing buildings to build a set of 78 luxury residences and a 166-room hotel on the site. Many of the buildings have been taken down, but Unicorp faces some legal hurdles with ownership rights of some units. The completed resort will be run by St. Regis, which manages some of the top hotels in the world and is part of the discussion in this REALTALKplus™ article.

I think it is week 6 of weight watchers....I've sort of lost track...Anyway... this week was pretty good. Especially having been on vacation last week, and off the program a bit. So, for two weeks I lost (drum roll please) 3.8 pounds for a total weight loss of 15.6 pounds. Not too shabby, I reckon. See you Tuesday! :)
Week 6, I think..

Okay, so you all know that I have struggled with anxiety in the past. And a struggle that is in the past should STAY in the past. But, alas, here I am struggling with it again. There are some things going on at my work that is causing me to....well, I haven't had a full fledged freak out yet - but I'm close. Please be in prayer for me. Its too early to know what all is going to happen - but I really like this job and don't want to lose it!
Keep praying for Anna too (see next post)!! Thanks!

Prayer Request
Hey there everyone,
I know I've told you all about my church, and how much I love it. Also I've written about my bible study. Well, one of the ladies in my bible study has an 11 year old daughter, Anna, who is fighting cancer. They are in Houston right now going through treatment. I am asking you if you would pray for Anna's healing and for her mom Dawna while they are away from the rest of their family. I am not sure why, but Anna's story has touched my heart so deeply from the moment I heard that the cancer was back. See God already healed Anna from this cancer last year, and in January, I believe, the tumor came back. We have out church praying for her, and I know they would appreciate all the prayers they can get!
Here is her website that is detailing what the family is going through right now. Thanks everyone!!

What a freak I am....
They are, I believe Oil on Board, and are signed by P.C. Steenhouwer. All I can find on the artist is that he was a Dutch painter that passed away in 1972. I thought I'd bring this all to your attention for one very important reason - they are filming Antiques Roadshow in Palm Springs in June and I have signed up for tickets. According to Google, Palm Springs is only 4 hours away. I'm such a freak. Mostly, I just want to go to see the Keno brothers....but it would be cool too learn more about these paintings. I won't know if I will get tickets until May. It does give me something to look forward to, at least. You too - I may be one of those people on the show where the appraiser says, "Well, unfortunately, there are some condition problems......"

Week 4
Hey all - I realized (thanks to Becca) that my update for this week hasn't been posted yet. There is a good reason for it - really, there is. The reason is.......I didn't go for my weigh in this week. Now before you comment on how big a loser I am - let me tell you why:
This past weekend I was in Colorado Springs. (I didn't get to see everyone I wanted, but I knew I'd be going back in a month or so anyway, and I would see those of you I didn't see this time, then...) It was sort of a whirlwind trip flying in on Friday evening, staying the weekend with my wonderful hosts Greg and Elaina Gipson and spending Monday at Compassion and flying home Monday evening.
So, after an awesome day at Compassion we left and headed for the airport. One of my many little quirks is that I like to be at the airport at least 2 hours before my flight leaves, so I was there pretty early. I've also been sick, and so before I went through security I went into the gift shop to buy some cough drops. I'm in the gift shop, looking around when I hear a message over the intercom. I couldn't quite make it out, but I did hear something about a flight being cancelled. Ha ha ha, I thought, suckers! I continue browsing through the store when I hear the announcement again, only this time more clearly: US Airways flight 2725 to Phoenix has been cancelled... I thought, weird, that flight number sounds familiar. Sure enough, when I pulled out my ticket I was on flight 2725. Panicked, I ran out of the gift store and toward the ticket counter. It wasn't until I was about halfway to the ticket counter that I realized that I still had the cough drops in my hand...and I hadn't paid for them. I raced back to the shop - paid for my stolen cough drops and got to the ticket counter, which by now had many people there trying to get other flights out. There were no other flights out. Colorado Springs is not a huge airport, and so I was stuck. While in the non-moving line, I decide to just call US Airways...get the lady on the phone and she's telling me they can't get me back to Phoenix until Wednesday. No, that wouldn't do. By then, I was next in line, and the ticket counter lady gave me my options...I could wait until Wednesday and get a flight out from the Springs, or I could wait until Tuesday the next day) and catch a flight from Denver. Mind you - she was not offering me a connecting flight to Denver...she was offering me a cab ride to Denver, and then my flight. Whatever...I took it. I took the cab. It was free (except for the $36 tip I gave the driver for driving me all that way...) I finally got back Tuesday evening.... and missed my weigh in. Which is probably a good thing. Its hard to stay on the Weight Watchers plan when you're on vacation...
My next weigh in will be this coming Tuesday, and I'll let you know how I'm doing then!

I'll take what I can get...
Thats what I said last week about my weight loss when I only lost 1.6 pounds. "I'll take what I can get." Well, this week I only lost 0.6 pounds...I want what I took last week! Ha ha ha - no, I slacked this week, I'll admit it. PLUS - they had a membership class at my church where they served an awesome lunch...I had to eat it - I didn't want to be RUDE! :) This weekend I'm on vacation - so who knows where I'll be next week, weight wise!!
Okay, well I better go, I'm a little under the weather and my mom hooked me up with some awesome cough syrup that I think is making me drowsy........................*snore*

Another week
So another week has passed, thought I'd give you an update on my weigh in last night...ready? Drum roll please: 1.6 pounds lost for a total of 11.2 pounds in 3 weeks. I'd like for it to be coming off faster, but I'll take what I can get!!
Also I have my bible study tomorrow night. We're going through 2 Peter 2, and I came across this verse that really made me think: "But they deliberately forget that long ago by God's word the heavens exsisted and the earth was formed out of water and by water." (2 Pet 2:5) Perhaps not as striking a verse as others, but this one really got me thinking. It says that 'they deliberately forget' God's word and that He is the one who created the world. (Who are "They"? "They" are the scoffers and mockers who doubt God, and speak against his coming.) Anyway - someone who deliberately forgets something doesn't forget it on accident. They make a decision that they are no longer going to believe something, and they forget the things they used to believe. In this case, man had to come up with something to explain away God's account of the creation of the world. What did man come up with? Evolution. These people deliberately forgot what God's word said and how God said HE created the world in 7 days, and they came up with their own explanation of how things came to be...and now - evolution is being taught as fact. Oh, they say its a theory of evolution, but most people today believe that it is fact. That you and I evolved from monkeys and that the biblical story of creation is just that. A story.
There was a lot more in those few little verses...I'll share more that I got from them later! :)

Compassion International
Okay, well, many of you that read this are either current or former Compassion employees. But I know there are those of you out there who are not as familiar with the ministry of Compassion International...this post is for you.
This month a group of bloggers are heading to Uganda to see first hand Compassion's work in that country. I myself have experienced first (and second) hand Compassion's ministry. I worked for Compassion for 4.5 years before leaving in 2005. It was the best job I ever had. Not only that, I have sponsored three children through my years at Compassion: Cleiton from Brazil, Franci Valdo from Brazil and Lesvia from Guatemala. I have had the incredible opportunity to meet each of these young people in person in their own countries.
My last trip was to Guatemala in 2006. That was an incredible trip!! We got to visit several Compassion projects, and it just reminded me how much I take for granted everything I have. One home we visited was little more than one room that was divided by a partition with a 'crib' for the babies in the 'living room'. The crib was literally an old crate. The baby was playing with a strip of cloth. That was her toy. I was heart broken. But I also know that Compassion is doing a work in that family. The father used to be an alcoholic and with the church and Compassion's help, he is now working and making an income for this family.
I was also fortunate enough to meet Lesvia, my sponsor child and her father on this trip. We spent the day at the Guatemala Zoo. I think the part that broke my heart most was when she was telling me how nervous she was about meeting me, and how she wondered if I would like her. I told her I wondered the very same thing!!
If you are at all interested in sponsoring a child, please click the Compassion banner at the top of this page, or simply click here.
Like I said, I worked at Compassion for almost 5 years, and I know the 'inner workings.' Not only that, I've seen the ministry Compassion does overseas and it is Awesome. God has placed his hand upon Compassion, he really has. Besides I was this closed to being the Co-President of Compassion, so I mean, come on!! ;)
Here are some more pictures from the Guatemala trip in 2006. Enjoy! SPONSOR A CHILD!!

The Emerging Worlds Initiative
Across the social sciences, scholars are responding to emergent scientific and social dilemmas by turning to the concept of culture and the diverse methods anthropologists employ. In psychology, the study of non-Western people has drawn attention to anthropological tools. In political science, the "perestroika" movement re-introduced ethnography and comparative area studies. In sociology, anthropological theory has gained new traction. Anthropological concepts and approaches have been taken up in the humanities and the arts as well. Such disciplinary turns grow from a challenging new set of social configurations that affect both scholarly and lay understandings of the present, past, and future: the demise of certainties about progress and modernization.
Consider the problem of "globalization." In the early 1990s, the term carried hopes for a singularly transformed world: Once-isolated nations would become circuits of global connection. As the decade progressed, critics emerged from every side, leaving the concept in tatters. The clearest perspective, perhaps, came from anthropologists immersed in long histories and broad geographies: Contemporary global encounters carve one channel in a long history of multiple, overlapping, partial globalizations, from the Silk Road to the Muslim diaspora. This perspective illuminates the past as well as current contests over the shape of history (Christian, secular, or Muslim?) and the making of regional distinctions.
Whatever the scale of study (global, regional, or local; everyday life, historical, or longue durée), and whatever the unit of study (landscape, material assemblage, network, commodity chain, performance, artistic genre, food practice, memory, mind, gossip, sexuality, scientific lab, NGO, religious idiom or practice, social movement or encounter, race, diaspora, nation, community, tribe, or evolutionary niche), UCSC archeologists and cultural and physical anthropologists explore, analyze, interpret, and write about emerging worlds, not vanishing cultures. Under the rubric "culture and power," our program during its first fifteen years pioneered new forms of ethnography, re-theorized the object of anthropological inquiry to comprehend power, inequality, heterogeneity, contingency, and continuous change, and engaged conceptual innovations within and beyond the discipline. With our new programmatic focus, "emerging worlds," we will carry this work forward and forcefully articulate anthropology's distinctive commitment to the study of world-making practices, past, present, and future.

oxidation and mead
I come from the brewing world. Of late I've been getting into making mead and so I've been perusing this forum. It is amazing how different these two worlds are from each other. In particular nobody ever seems to talk about oxidization. Oxidized wort/beer is of huge concern for brewers, especially the big ones. The macro brewers even mill under deaerated water to reduce O2 content in their grists.
I am wondering if any of you mead makers concern yourselves especially with this. If oxidation does occur in a mead or wine, how does it show up (in beer it is often described as a wet paper or cardboard flavor, sometimes even a sherry flavor)? Are there any oxidized flavors that are desired in mead? Is there anything that has reducing power in mead (for example, vitamin C/ascorbic acid, dark malts in beer...)?
I ask because some people recently moved several carboys of my mead up a flight of stairs without my supervision and this kind of thing always makes me worry. I am guessing they will be fine, but you know, they're my babies...
So please, share with me your knowledge and experience with oxidization in mead and wine.
Oh, you will hear chapter and verse on this one!
Sure, as the mentors will attest, you certainly can oxidize mead, and it can be bad, but it's not as much a problem for mead as it is for beer.
As for myself, I try to minimize contact with room air by not splashing after the 1/3 break just in case. I try to keep headspace as small as I can, and will flush it out with CO2 if it's too big. I use O2 absorbing caps when I use beer bottles. I do try not to oxidize.
Some of us (waves to Medsen) do it on purpose.
Welcome to GotMead? !!!
Oxidation in mead varies considerably depending on the mead. Some melomels are quite prone to oxidation. Traditional meads seem to much less prone to oxidation than most beers or wines. I have kept open bottles of mead in the fridge for up to a month and still found them nice and drinkable. I've not yet had a beer or wine I could say that about.
This is not to say that mead cannot be oxidized. Let me assure you that it is possible. When it occurs, it may create a sherry-like aroma with a nutty character. If you like sherry or Madeira wines, it could be desirable. If it becomes severe enough, there will be a flattening of aroma and the wet cardboard smell may develop along with loss of flavor. Oxidation also promotes development of acetic acid and leads to vinegar and nail polish remover odor.
During fermentation, mead is protected from oxidation due to the production of CO2, its natural resistance to oxidation, and the reductive capacity of yeast/lees. After active fermentation is complete is when the big risk of oxidation develops, and mead should be kept in containers that are fully topped up or such that they are otherwise protected from air exposure.
I am a firm believer in the use of sulfites to protect against oxidation as well, especially with my light fruit melomels. I use them in traditional meads as well. Ascorbic acid may be a useful adjunct, though I have rarely used it. Tannins and phenolic elements from such things as dark berries may provide strong protection against oxidation. With melomels, I am currently experimenting with the use of glutathione which also can help protect fruity aromas/flavors from oxidation - I'm not certain if it will extend the lives of these melomels or not. Time will tell.
If a batch does get oxidized, fining with casein or powdered milk may help remove the oxidized character if it is not too severe. Charcoal fining is another option. In meadmaking, these options are almost never needed.
With making mead the risk of oxidation is low during fermentation and the risk of incomplete fermentation is high if the yeast doesn't get enough oxygen to produce necessary sterols and lipids for the cell membrane. This is why we recommend aeration of the must during the early part of fermentation. It sounds like heresy to a brewer, I know, but it is necessity for a mazer.
Good meading!

(Past years are always better)
Like all things mead, much depends on the varietal honey. Some meads may oxidize, others are fairly resistant. Try this link for antioxidants in honey:
If you cut an apple, the brown color that results from exposure to air is from polyphenol oxidase. Honey is not fruit based, so there is less potential for changes from exposure to oxygen.
Still, it's best to take the same precautions as you would with wine. There's less cause to worry, but be careful nonetheless.

The oldest forms of hammer, first used by the Paleolithic man around 2.6 million BCE, points to one of the earliest moment when certain shapes of rock were considered to hold potential to be utilised as tool, while other rocks were not.
The moment when a cultural understanding and opinion gave value to natural materials around us.
This primitive tool, while going through numerous incarnations, remains one of the key tools for shaping and constructing the built environment millennia later. Yet it also serves the purpose of destruction, often seen in demolition site in the form of powerful machinery capable of turning artificial structures into rubble, nearing its return to nature.
Hammers embody two contradicting acts, one of creating and one of destroying. With its primitive yet fundamental form, it enables transformations of nature into culture and vice versa.
The head of Shape Hammers are found shapes that resembles a certain type of hammer: A blank block thought into a hammer head ready for use, its shape could be changed by hammering, combining creation and destruction into one act.

- Type metal and pulpwood (maple)

Food / dietary issues; we are proud to present the "Transformations 360" program. A five week program that's easy to follow, assists you in losing that excess weight and allows for positive results daily!
Many people are familiar with the HCG program. Many people also recognize that program has little success because people are relying on the chemicals instead of learning about portion sizes and healthy foods.
On this program, which we HAVE used with great success, we find that we learn about our own bodies responses to food sensitivities, quantities, quality etc. What we truly appreciated was not feeling hungry and not feeling as if we were being deprived. Yes, our choices are a bit limited but they won't always be!
This is a Five (5) week program. You receive a scale, ketostix (to help you see that you're truly removing stored fat and not muscle) menu plans, snack packs, weight tracking, WICO testing with followup and weekly support.
This affordable plan is $495 which includes your intake with Doctor Saber as well as your follow up check in visits.
If you have not achieved your weight change goal in the initial time, you may purchase weekly snack packs at a cost of $50 per week supply. Each box contains 28 chocolate, vanilla, strawberry flavored packets which you mix with 3 ounces of water. They each provide caloric support toward assisting you in achieving your ideal weight.

How Laser Treatment Helps
While toenail fungus may not sound detrimental, it can cause serious damage if left untreated. In addition to your toenails, it can affect the skin around your toenails. Toenail fungus can thicken and discolor your toenails and make walking in closed-toed shoes extremely painful.
While there are various types of treatments, laser treatments are proven to be the fastest-working option. Laser treatment for toenail fungus, using the Astanza Revolution, targets the affected area and removes the fungus in a painless and quick manner. It usually only takes 15 minutes for a laser treatment, but the depth and number of toes infected can increase the treatment time. Once the procedure is over, you can immediately return to everyday activities!
Why receive laser treatment for toenail fungus?
Laser treatments avoid:
- Anesthesia
- Toxic medication
- Medication side effects
- Long periods of recovery
- Surgery
- Pain
Nail fungus laser treatments ensure all the bacteria is destroyed, so they do not become re-infected. Laser treatments are FDA approved and do not affect the skin surrounding the infected toes. Contact our offices to schedule a free consultation!
