How to plan a parents night out
I used to think that when the kids were older, it would be easier for my husband and I to go out on date nights. If anything, though, it's harder! With all the different activities all through the week, we're exhausted by the weekend, and usually have something to do with one or more of the kids then, too.
Taking time together as a couple is so important, however. It feeds our whole family, really. So we've had to become more creative in finding ways to spend time together. Going out in the evening is great and we still do it when we can - but we've come to really enjoy our "day dates."
The lunch dateOn days that all the kids are covered in school and preschool, we've taken several opportunities to have lunch together. While it's tricky with work demands, scheduling time to have lunch together into our office calendars actually makes the lunch more likely to happen. And when work is really, really busy? Lunch dates are even better. Seeing a friendly - no, loving - face amid the craziness seems to make the rest of it manageable.
I know we are not the only ones who do this. At the restaurants we go to for these lunch dates we usually see at least one other romantically involved couple, and other friends have commented that they have started lunch dates, too.
Lunch dates also feel like less pressure in a way. Because the time is short, we know the point is just to be together and reconnect. There's less worrying, at least for me, on whether the meal is good or whatever - some of our best lunch dates have been in real dives. It's very high quality time for very low cost, typically.
The all-day dateOnce or twice a year, my husband and I take a day off from work and spend the whole day together. This started as a way to get some household projects done, and has evolved into a hybrid kind of a day: a little bit of project doing, a nice lunch out, a walk on the beach or in some conservation lands, then maybe a little more project doing.
We never tell the kids in advance that these days are going to happen - and sometimes don't mention it after the fact, either. It's like our little secret day together. If the kids knew, not only might they get jealous, but at least one of the kids might plot to somehow join us, and that is not the point at all. And while these days are even trickier to schedule, we enjoy them so much we have made them a priority.
Keep it regularNo matter what you do to spend time with your sweetie, whether day or evening, it's most important to just do it. A strong relationship is the foundation of a strong family. Making the time, on a regular basis, to be alone together is good for everyone.

Workforce Investment Act of 2013 Reintroduced in House CommitteePosted on 02/15/2013
Top House Education and the Workforce Committee Democrats reintroduced legislation today to improve the federal workforce development programs so that they better respond to local economic needs and help workers find a good job or a new career.
The Workforce Investment Act of 2013 – introduced by Reps. John Tierney (D-MA), Rubén Hinojosa (D-TX) and George Miller (D-Calif.) – would modernize the current system by promoting more effective coordination among local stakeholders including business representatives, labor organizations, educational institutions, economic development agencies, and community-based organizations. The bill would also increase the accountability of programs to taxpayers, and encourage innovation and best practices throughout the system.
"It is imperative we strengthen our workforce system so people of all ages and abilities can obtain the skills and training they need and so businesses can hire and grow. The bill we are introducing today does just that, and it will promote and expand the kind of innovative partnerships among colleges, businesses, and workforce boards that are occurring in my district and throughout the country." said Representative Tierney.
"This is a critical time in the United States for American workers and adult learners to have access to the education and job training they need to increase their literacy skills and to acquire good, family sustaining jobs," said Representative Hinojosa. "What the Workforce Investment Act does, is it creates a 21st century delivery system for adult education and workforce training that leads to career pathways, increased educational opportunities, civic participation and economic self-sufficiency for our nation's increasingly diverse workforce."
"It's time for Congress to improve our workforce system and make sure it is efficient, effective and accessible to all workers," said Representative Miller. "We need to support our workforce system so that it helps workers gain needed job skills and find a good job. Our bill takes the best ideas of the experts in the field in order to help local communities respond to business demands and workforce needs."
Among the goals of the Workforce Investment Act of 2013 is the development of a "21st Century Delivery System for Adult Education Literacy and Workplace Skills Services" which includes:
- Expanded access to adult education, literacy services, and workplace skills training.
- Expanded access to postsecondary education and credentials to achieve and maintain economic self-sufficiency for adult learners.
- Support for integrated adult education and training.
- Providing support for English-literacy services and integrated English-literacy and civics education programs for adult learners.
- Authorizing increased investments in technology (such as online education) and digital literacy, providing needed training and education resources to rural and urban areas.
- Enhanced support for research on innovative methods and policies that help accelerate progress for basic skills students, improving the likelihood that they will receive postsecondary credentials.
More information on the legislation is available from the Committee on Education and the Workforce Democrats Website, .

by Tom
(New York)
While I can hit each note in tone quite well, I feel like I lack clarity and power in my singing. I can never sound as smooth as others I hear.
From The Editor
Thank you Tom for submitting your biggest singing challenge.
It sound like you're on the way to a good singing voice. You mentioned you're hitting your notes fairly well, which is a good start.
One big problem that singers have is not being able to sing on pitch. So it's very good that this doesn't seem to be a problem for you.
When you say that you're not quite getting the clarity and power you want, it sounds like two things may be going on.
Firstly, it could be an issue of how well you're balancing your air versus vocal cord.
What this means is you may be singing in a breathy tone, and allowing more air to pass through your vocal cords than needed.
If you get the proper vocal cord closure, your tone will thicken up and gain clarity.
A singing exercise that will help you with this is singing a song using the word "Gug" instead of the lyrics.
The reason this works is it automatically gives you vocal cord closure, so you can get a feel for how to sing without being too breathy.
The second thing that it sounds like is happening, is you're not experiencing the sound resonating in the right places.
A very common issue is singing with your tone buried in your throat, which can result in as you described "tone without clarity".
What you can do to fix this, is sing with your hands on your cheeks... And make an effort to sing with the sound above your cheeks only.
This will help you to get your sound resonating in the correct areas, which will improve your clarity as well as power.
There are some exercises on this website that you can practice that will help you improve in both of these areas.
Be sure to check the singing lesson videos section to use them.
Good luck!

When should I book my first bridal appointment?
As soon as you are ready. You want to begin shopping 7-9 months prior to your wedding. Each gown is custom built for every order, so can take 5-7 months to arrive. You'll want to allow time for any alterations, too (learn more about alterations.)
So, what's the process for a bridal appointment?
Here's how a first appointment goes:
- check-in – we'll serve you and your guests refreshments while we get you registered in our system
- exploration – browse our showroom and slip "a ring" on any styles that stand out; your consultant can help find certain looks and make recommendations
- trying on – as your guests lounge, your consultant will join you in the fitting room to try on the sample styles you picked; she'll provide tips and guidance along the way
- narrowing down – once you've narrowed down to a few favorites, we'll document the styles in your file or help you place an order
Who should come to my appointment?
Anyone you want; we have no limit on the number of guests you can bring to your appointment. Just remember, everyone will have an opinion. It's about what you want. Bring people whose opinions mean the most, or who will make the experience more enjoyable.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Whatever you'd like. Most brides wear something they can easily slip in-and-out of while trying dresses. We have robes and heels available. Oh, and don't forget the undies! A strapless bra is helpful if your girls need support. Remember, brightly colored undies might show through some fabrics and impact the color of the gown.
Do I need to bring anything to my bridal appointment?
Just you. Here are a few other (completely optional) things you may find helpful:
- your Pinterest board – download the app on your phone and pin any images that inspires you; from favorite gowns to style icons
- notes or sketches – in case you've been doodling your dream gown in anticipation
- a small snack – we provide beverages, but a little something to nosh on helps fight the grumpies
- strapless bra – in case the girls need support
- favorite pair of heels – something about the height you think you'd wear on your wedding day so we can discuss length
- an open mind – you might be surprised by a style you didn't expect to like; this happens all the time, be ready to explore!
How long will my first bridal appointment take?
Allow at least one hour. We have no time limit, so you're free to explore as long as you'd like.
What if I'm not ready to buy a gown after my appointment?
A bridal shop should never pressure you to purchase at your first appointment. We'll take notes on your favorite styles. You can come back or call whenever you are ready.
May I take pictures while trying on gowns?
Absolutely - we'll even take them for you!
Are appointments required for bridal?
Appointments are not required. You can swing by anytime to take a look. However, an appointment ensures a consultant will be a dedicated to helping you - from answering questions to assisting in the fitting room.
Why does my consultant join me in the fitting room?
Bridal gowns can be tricky to get on without help. Also, as the gowns in our shop are samples, they won't always be your exact size. Your consultant will help get the dress on and clip you to give an idea of how it will look in your size. We want you to be completely pulled together before stepping out to show your guests.
How many gowns will I be able to try?
As many as you'd like. Again, we're here to help, not limit.

Liberals voted against a bill aimed to put an end to the unfair tax in the transfer of family businesses
February 9th, 2017 - 9:57am
February 8, 2017
OTTAWA – Bill C-274 tabled by New Democrat MP Guy Caron (Rimouski-Neigette—Témiscouata—Les Basques) was voted on and defeated in the House of Commons this evening. The bill aimed to put an end to the unfair tax in the transfer of family businesses to another member of the same family.
"Of course I'm disappointed with this result. I tabled this bill because it's an issue that comes up constantly when I'm speaking with entrepreneurs in my region. They tell me they want to transfer their family businesses to their children to keep it in the family, but that the current measures often discourage them," said Caron.
The bill received support from more than 140 associations, chambers of commerce, accounting firms and municipalities across Canada. It was also supported by the Conservative Party, the Bloc and the NDP caucus.
"The Liberal government rhetoric doesn't hold up. In the span of less than a week, the Liberals said that the costs associated with my bill would be 300 million, then it was 800 million, then only yesterday Finance Minister Morneau said in the House that it would cost the government 1.2 billion dollars," said Caron. "It was crucial that my bill be adopted at second reading so that the costs could be studied more thoroughly in committee. The Liberals refused any compromise. What I find most discouraging is that our entrepreneurs will once again have to pay the price," said Caron.
MP Christine Moore invited Guy Caron to meet with farmers and business people in Abitibi-Témiscamingue a few weeks ago to speak about his bill and it was widely approved.

Spending time with your children, breathing the fresh mountain air, doing something you love, and coming together at the end of the day to talk of adventure, trauma and daring – is priceless.
A key factor in ensuring that your family ski holiday runs smoothly is ensuring you get the right resort. Get it wrong and you'll be lugging skis and screaming kids around half the day. But choose your resort wisely, and everything else will fall into place.
Here is our list of family ski resorts where you can be confident to take all your children, whatever their ages, and know there will be plenty to keep them (and you) entertained.
AVORIAZ, France
Avoriaz is a sympathetically designed resort, compact and car free, its buildings are wood clad with snowy paths and pistes between them. You and your luggage are transported to the largely ski-in/ski-out accommodation by snowcat or horse-drawn sleigh. Many families love Avoriaz for its safety and convenience. It also has the highest and most snowsure slopes in the Portes du Soleil ski area.
The Village des Enfants is in the heart of the resort, with Disney characters and special slopes to entertain and educate children aged three and older. It is the only truly pedestrianised ski resort in France, and its central nursery and ski school has won many awards over the years. There's a British-run ski school, Avoriaz Alpine Ski School, for older children needing some friendly encouragement. With 650km of lift linked pistes just outside your door and the option to ski over the border in to Switzerland, as well as its five permanent parks, a boardercross and a superpipe, it can't fail to impress.
GALTUR, Austria
Galtür is a family-friendly, snow-assured ski area. The Silvretta ski area stretches across the Austrian – Swiss area between Ischgl and Samnuan with 240 kilometres of piste and a family-sized 40 kilometres of local slopes, named the Silvapark. The Silvapark provides the best conditions for cross country skiing, snowboarding and skiing, it is specially designed to be family-friendly with separate sectors for different ability levels
Galtür is excellent for beginners and early intermediates, with Ischgl 15 minutes down the road on the free ski bus, which is great for intermediates and advanced skiers.
This resort is particularly family friendly with two dedicated children's ski school areas, ski lessons starting at three years and a non-ski kindergarten from two years. Older children can take part in lessons on ski/boarding jumps; night skiing; avalanche awareness; an off-piste ski safari; speed skiing and sessions on snowblades and twin-tips. Every Friday there's a mini Winter Olympics, with electronic timing, musically accompanied award ceremonies, medals and winner's cups.
TREMBLANT, Quebec, Canada
Ski Magazine has voted Tremblant the best ski resort in Eastern North America for the 15th year in a row, and it has just been voted one of the world's top 25 ski villages by National Geographic 2013. And it's easy to see why. Tremblant is a delightful, traffic-free village in the French-speaking part of Canada. The ski school is highly rated for children's lessons and good childcare facilities are available. The village is purpose-built in the style of old Québec, with buildings in vibrant colours lining cobbled streets. Plus, as you are in Quebec Province, the attractive village offers a combination of Canadian and French cuisine and some lively après ski.
The mountain offers a great variety of runs, its speciality being great grooming – you'll find wide, tree lined green, blue and black runs with impeccable corduroy. A heated gondola takes you to the top of the mountain, from where you can drop over the back into the slopes of the North Side.
Off the slopes, the resort pool resembles a woodland lake, Aquaclub La Source is a particularly good indoor/outdoor water theme park and there's also dog sledding, tubing, ice climbing, snowmobiling, a high ropes course to mention just a few.
SMUGGLERS NOTCH, Vermont, USA
"America's Family Resort" is the slogan of this family friendly purpose-built resort. Some of the biggest and best-known ski resorts in North America try to be recognised as family friendly resorts but none have won more awards or topped more skier polls than Smugglers Notch. It's hard to pin down what it does so right but it definitely has got it right. There is an enormous "million dollar" child-care centre, ski lessons for tots aged from two-and-a-half, private babysitting and "kids' nights out". Two teen hangouts ban adults, there's family snowmobiling and airboarding (lie-on inflatable sledges). The three big hills have runs for all abilities, from gentle cruising and tree skiing for beginners to daring blacks. As if that isn't enough, there is an ice rink, an indoor and outdoor heated pool or for the more daring amongst you the ArborTrek Zip Line Canopy Tour, the only one of its kind in Vermont.
Alpbach, Austria
This pretty village has long been a favourite with families. They are attracted by the picturesque resort and its small, friendly local ski area. Alpbach is what you imagine an Austrian mountain village to look like, with its traditional wooden chalets set around a church. It's ideal for children as the sunny nursery slopes are right in the village and there are good ski kindergartens. While the slopes for intermediates aren't extensive, they're good for building confidence and practicing technique, and both the village's ski schools are very child-friendly. For those in the know there's also some good skiing off-piste. If a full day on the slopes is proving too much there is an indoor swimming pool and outdoor ice rinks to entertain.
Obergurgl, Austria
For families with teenage kids, Obergurgl (Glacier resorts apart), the highest parish in Austria is one of the most snowsure areas in the Alps. It's a small, focused village with friendly Austrian charm with no through-traffic. With easy snowsure slopes, but not so many that the children would get lost on their own. Excellent English is spoken by the ski school instructors and class sizes are kept small - a promising start for pushing teenagers to their limits and ensuring boredom stays at bay.
Children from age three can join the resort's Bobo Mini Club for outdoor activities or the Bobo kindergarten for indoor fun. Many hotels also offer childcare of one sort or another.
The slopes are generally gentle and well-groomed and suit beginners and intermediates best.
La Plagne, France
There are 10 villages with intermediate cruising runs that together make La Plagne. The different characteristics of the villages make it an ideal destination for all types of families and children, from young tots to energetic teens. There is Belle Plagne (good for youngsters with a children's playground to practise their ski-ing), Plagne 1800 (lots of chalets so great for groups of families) or Montchavin (the village is pretty and traffic-free with confidence-building wooded blue runs). Each village has good ski schools and its own nursery run or two, then there are endless intermediate slopes (225km of them) plus five terrain parks or boardercross courses to keep the more adventurous children and big kids entertained.
Ylläs, Finland
If you're looking for an alternative to the tried and tested Alpine holiday, head to Ylläs in Finland. Ylläs combines all the ingredients necessary for a perfect Lapland experience. Guests return year after year to enjoy its stunning unspoiled natural scenery.
The gentle Arctic landscape is ideal for beginners, and the alternative activities, such as exhilarating reindeer, husky and snowmobile safaris as well as snowshoeing, will captivate your children. The skies here are especially clear, ideal for witnessing the magical Northern Lights. The best time to visit is from March to the end of the season - any earlier and either the sun doesn't rise during normal daylight hours or it's February and the resort suffers the same fate as European resorts during the school holidays. Accommodation is not slopeside, but the resort is so quiet and peaceful this isn't an issue.
Wengen is a charming village that sits on a shelf high above the Lauterbrunnen valley, with friendly locals and dramatic scenery reached only by a cog railway. The cog railway rises up through a tunnel in the mountains to emerge at Jungfraujoch, which at 3450m is the highest railway station in Europe. From there, the views of the Aletsch glacier, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are amazing. Although Wengen is famous for the fearsome Lauberhorn downhill course, the longest and one of the toughest on the World Cup circuit, its slopes are best suited to early intermediates, as are those of Grindelwald over the top of the ski area. The majority of runs are gentle blues and reds, ideal for cruising.
The village is charming and relaxed and almost traffic free. The only exceptions are electric hotel vehicles and private taxis. There's a good nursery slope right in the centre of the village and there are two kindergartens – one takes children from as young as six months. The village centre is home to a good ice rink, with curling as well as skating, and there is a cinema that frequently shows English films.
La Rosiere
La Rosière is smaller, quieter and cheaper than the nearby mega-resorts of Les Arcs, Val d'Isère-Tignes and La Plagne. It best suits families and mixed ability groups wanting a relaxed time. The ski area is sunny but gets a lot of snow, and there are splendid panoramic views over the valley to the Les Arcs ski area. The slopes suit intermediates and beginners best and are linked over the top ridge to the snowsure, north-facing pistes of La Thuile in Italy.
Snow has started falling so fingers crossed for a fantastic ski season! Let Bespoke Vacations help you to find the right resort for you…

I just got my Marketing Mentor 6-month planning card in the mail! (Did you?)
If you haven't been to a Creative Freelancer Conference, here's what it is: at the end of the conference everyone writes a card to their future self about the plans they're energized to take on in the 6 months following the conference.
Here's what mine said, and a recap of how I did:
Dear Heather,
You did so well with this last time. Please, future Heather, tell me you did it again [& tell me your handwriting has improved].
- web site overhaul
- take AIGA by storm [drizzle is acceptable]
- speak to the LA chamber breakfast
- try guest-blogging
- keep doing research calls
- get those 3-4 regulars
- keep doing meaningful networking
- what ever happened to the wine industry?
Well, it's true, I did do really well with the previous year's CFC follow up, but that's because they were plans a long time in the making. This time, my next steps were a little more vague. Let's see how I did.
Things I nailed: take AIGA by storm, try guest-blogging, keep doing meaningful networking. I signed on with the AIGA LA programming committee, produced a handful of events, and have a balanced plan to move forward [this also led to working with other design orgs—a huge plus]. Guest-blogging? You're lookin' at it [this has also expanded, another plus]. Meaningful networking is a bit of a nod to my previous year in business, where I was the "try everything" networking person and ended up at a lot of dead-end events. I've honed in on what I like, and host when I can't find what I want to attend.
Things still in progress: keep doing research calls, get those 3-4 regulars, what ever happened to the wine industry [as a new niche]. I do research calls, but nowhere near as regularly as my marketing calendar advises. I have only started seeing the materialization of 2 new regulars to add to my whopping 1 from last year—but it is in progress. I'm on a long term plan to work with the wine industry, starting with blogging, and working off one of my new regulars, who is in the beverage industry. Slowly but surely.
Things I saved for later: web site overhaul, and speak to the LA chamber breakfast. The web site was slated at a time when WordPress made a major upgrade, which changed the project entirely. I've decided to put it off to this year so I can plan everything out. As for speaking at the LA chamber, the speaking isn't the issue, it's more that I've already confirmed they're not my audience, so it would be purely for the experience of doing it. This is not the biggest motivator, but I have 3 months till my membership expires.
Considering all the unexpected, unlisted things that did happen, I think my past self would be pretty happy with the progress. I'm sure other attendees got their cards, how did we all do? What was on your list?
And registration is open for this year's CFC in Chicago, June 23-24. Details at www.creativefreelancerconference.com

Writing about Writing as a Poet and More; Reflections on the Poetic/Philosophic Writings of Tim Kavi

gentle raindrops (new poem)
gentle raindrops
by tim kavi
gentle raindrops fall softly
across glistening green skin
We and Nature
heartbeats as one
in the dawning sun
steam rises from the Earth
plantings of our love everywhere
gentle shoulders slope
of what tomorrow brings
in mountains of hope
in the passion of longing
love buds anew
while songs of birds flew
among the shadowed rocks
where there is only
the whisper of our kiss
enduring forever
the stream of love
and time carries on.

W.E.B. Du Bois, in The Souls of Black Folk, wrote about the burden of having to live in a country where you were constantly viewed as being a source of stress and a complication for others, for no reason other than the color of your skin. He wrote, "Between me and the other world there is ever an unasked question…. How does it feel to be a problem?"
We can update that question in the case of unemployed NBA center Jason Collins. Here is a man who made history last spring by becoming the first active player to come out of the closet in the "big three" USA sports leagues and told the world that he was gay. He was praised by teammates, league officials, presidents and kings (OK, Bernard King). But now just for being himself, after a career as the epitome of a "team player", he has been labeled "a distraction" and finds himself on the outside looking in at the start of the NBA season.
I attempted to reach out to Jason Collins and ask him about his status as a man without a team, but, as I heard from several people close to the veteran seven-footer, he is not talking.
Collins is not speaking to the media because he believes that he could still catch on somewhere before the All-Star break. He has concluded that being quiet at this moment in time and not making a big stink over his inability to land a contract is the best course of action. He may be correct, but therein also lies the problem: the demand that silence is the way to get back into the good graces of league executives. I do not believe that most teams are led by secret members of Focus on the Family. I do not believe that when Collins came out, NBA General Managers secretly had this collective reaction. I do believe that they consider Collins's sexuality to be a "media distraction", and in the buttoned-up corporate world of twenty-first-century sports, "media distractions" are only slightly less welcome than staph infections. I also believe that by sending the message that being gay is a "distraction", NBA execs are bottle-feeding the homophobia in US society.
I spoke with John Amaechi, the first former NBA player to come out of the closet after retirement and he amplified this point. While Amaechi did point out that several teams have owners "with fairly public stances against the LGBT community" (see Rich DeVos in Orlando or Clay Bennett and Aubrey McClendon in Oklahoma City), the issue was more rooted in the risk/reward of signing a bench player who would get an inordinate amount of media attention about issues far from the court. Amaechi said to me, "Although I discount widespread homophobia, people shouldn't discount the whispering and worried voices of PR executives and team lawyers fearing the risk of adverse publicity and other potential fallout, like the circus of non-stop tabloid coverage of Jason as 'a gay person' not as an athlete until someone—stressed teammate, owner, celebrity fan, coach or opponent player—slips and a potentially explosive story appears."

Sustamed-injectable anabolic steroid. The drug consists 4 testosterone ethers: Testosterone Propionate, Testosterone Decanoate, Testosterone Isocaproate, Testosterone Phenylpropionate. Each form of testosterone has a different absorption rate, which allows to maintain a constantly high level of anabolic hormones in your blood for a month and it means that there is no need to perform frequent injections.
The drug acts exactly like every testosterone form, increases muscle mass (up to 13lbs), it has anticatabolic action, increased appetite, endurance and libido.
Like any other form of testosterone, Sustamed converts into estrogens. That's why it is necessary to add to your cycle Anti-estrogens, preferably Aromatase Inhibitors, to avoid side effects such as gynecomastia, swelling, fat deposition by the female type and depression of the production of own testosterone.

Couldn't agree more.
As someone returning to private practice, and without any court dress I am being invited to splash out £700 bloody quid on fancy dress that I may only wear once or twice between now and January.
I'm not sure if there are transitional provisions for those like me but I sure bloody hope so.

BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) — Brazil's lower house has voted to end the system of secret voting in the national legislature.
That's been a main demand from anti-government protesters who've taken to streets since June. And it was one of the five specific reform items that President Dilma Rousseff told lawmakers to pass to meet demonstrators' demands.
Under current Brazilian law, senators and deputies vote on bills in secret. It's only when a lawmaker specifically requests an open ballot that citizens know how their representative voted.
The measure now goes to the senate, where it's also likely to pass. It was first introduced in the congress in 2006.
Anti-corruption activists have long called for the end to the system, which they say makes it hard for citizens to hold politicians accountable for how they vote.

Make Your Own Koinobori Bunting
I have been busy making things to decorate the baby nursery. I was inspired to make this from a koinobori (Carp streamer/ wind sock) I got while in Japan I thought it would make a cute felt bunting.
I first made the pattern pieces the body shape, mouth, scales and eye. These were basic to draw I then cut them out and used them as templates on my felt. The mouth piece I stitched by hand and the other pieces I used fabric glue. I used brown wool as the rope. A simple little project that can be made in an afternoon HAPPY CRAFTING!!!

Health Board reviews service information
The Barry County Health Department offered around 2 percent more services to area residents in 2011 than were offered in 2010. The county health department board of trustees reviewed the service counts during its monthly meeting on Jan. 19.
The total number of services increased by 489 from 21,445 in 2010 to 21,934 in 2011. Although the number of services offered at the Monett office increased significantly, the number of services offered at the Cassville office decreased by nearly 1.5 percent.
The Cassville office offered 11,881 services in 2010 and 11,714 services in 2011. Service count numbers decreased in the following areas: immunizations, vital records and lead testing.
The Monett office offered 656 more services last year. The number of services increased from 9,564 in 2010 to 10,220 in 2011. Although Monett's service counts increased overall, immunizations, vital records and TB medication counts decreased.
The health board also reviewed the 2011 service fees, which increased 6.58 percent over the amount collected in 2010. Last year, the department collected $52,993.70 in service fees. This included $31,713.87 in fees for flu vaccinations.
John Starchman, health board chairman, commended Roger Brock, health department administrator, and Nancy Boyd, executive assistant, for helping the department save revenue this year.
"Roger and Nancy did an outstanding job of managing the money this year," said Starchman. "We will end the year with a surplus, which we will likely use this year due to funding cuts."
The board approved the 2011 budget report, which showed that the department ended the year with a surplus of $106,307.39.
During the meeting, Brock reported that Gov. Jay Nixon has proposed $2 million in cuts to the state core public health contract for the fiscal year that will begin on June 1.
"That is a significant number to public health," said Brock. "This could mean as much as a 27 percent cut in core funding for our department, which would be $12,800.
"That is just one contract," said Brock. "We don't know what else will be placed on the chopping block. We feel we can survive this cut, but if other contracts are cut, we will have to see where we are. We may have to tighten our budget even more than we already have."
In other business, the Barry County Health Department Board of Trustees:
* Heard the administrative report.
* Approved the environmental report, which showed that 92 new wastewater systems and 13 wastewater system repairs were permitted in 2011. The department also conducted 311 routine food service and 21 childcare and 21 lodging inspections last year.
* Heard that Brock signed the OACAC family planning contract for 2012. This year's contract offers a $150 increase in funding.
* Approved the public health programs report, which gave an update on WIC training and the state audit of the Show Me Healthy Women Program.

Common Morality, Coherence, and the Principles of Biomedical Ethics
DeGrazia, David
Bibliographic Citation
Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal 2003 September; 13(3): 219-230
The fifth edition of Beauchamp and Childress's Principles of Biomedical Ethics is distinguished by its emphatic embrace of common morality as the ultimate source of moral norms. This essay critically evaluates the fifth edition's discussion of common morality and, to a lesser extent, its treatment of coherence (both the model of ethical justification and the associated concept). It is argued that the book is overly accommodating of existing moral beliefs. The paper concludes with three suggestions for improving this leading text.

Alytes muletensis
|Scope: Global & Europe
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Alytes muletensis (Sanchiz & Adrover, 1979)
Common Name(s):
Baleaphryne muletensis Sanchíz & Adrover, 1979
|Taxonomic Source(s):
|Frost, D.R. 2014. Amphibian Species of the World: an Online Reference. Version 6 (27 January 2014). New York, USA. Available at: http://research.amnh.org/herpetology/amphibia/index.html. (Accessed: 27 January 2014).

|Cox, N. and Temple, H.J. (Global Amphibian Assessment)
Listed as Vulnerable because it is known from fewer than five locations, and its Area of Occupancy is less than 20 km2, and population declines are plausible without ongoing intensive conservation efforts. The pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis has been detected in reintroduced captive-bred populations, and it is plausible that severe population declines could take place in the future.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|This species is restricted to the Sierra Tramuntana of northern Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain. The present altitudinal range is from 10-850 m asl. Its area of occupancy is less than 10km², but slowly increasing as a result of intensive conservation action.
|Countries occurrence:
Native:Spain (Baleares)
|Additional data:
|Range Map:
|Click here to open the map viewer and explore range.
|The population is approximately 500-1,500 adult pairs (Gasc et al. 1997; Arnold 2003). There are approximately 25, mostly isolated, populations. The total population is slowly increasing following coordinated recovery efforts, following a long period of decline and near extinction. The current increase, which probably started around the time that the first re-introductions were made in 1989, has been maintained even during years of drought, notably in 1999-2000. The population trend in this species is monitored through annual tadpole counts, the counts for 2004 (over 30,000 tadpoles) being the highest on record. The increase in numbers in established populations is not dependent upon continued re-introductions. However, it is unlikely that new populations would be established without re-introductions.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|It is currently found only in small streams deeply carved into limestone mountains. The presence of the species is positively associated with steep slopes. Breeding takes place in the small streams that persist as pools in summer. A few populations occur by man-made water sources (cattle troughs, containers, rain tanks etc.) in open mountainous country; these are within the river basins of nearby canyon-living populations. Animals are generally found in rock crevices and under stones. This species does not tolerate serious habitat degradation. The distribution of predators on the species is negatively associated with elevation, and reproductive success is positively associated with elevation.
|Terrestrial; Freshwater
|Major Threat(s):
|The major threats are predation by the introduced Viperine Snake (Natrix maura), and competition for space with Perez's Frog (Rana perezi). Development of tourism and human settlements, specifically the increased need for water resources (including damming and canalization of streams), is an additional threat. The threats are not likely to decrease, and so the current recovery programme needs to be continued more or less indefinitely. One isolated re-introduced population was impacted by an unidentified non-fungal disease in 2002 which killed some tadpoles. This disease did not recur in 2003 and 2004. Chytridiomycosis has been identified in the wild population, with the source of this chytrid infection traced to reintroduced captive-bred animals from Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust, UK (Walker et al. 2008).
|Conservation Actions:
|The species is protected by sub-national and national legislation. It is listed on Appendix II of the Bern Convention, on Annexes II and IV of the EU Habitats Directive, and on the national and sub-national Red Data Books. It is present in the protected areas of the Tramuntana mountains. The Balearic Government and Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust have undertaken captive-breeding, re-introduction and other conservation initiatives. At least 10 populations have been successfully reintroduced. Re-introductions of animals from the Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust stopped in 2002, but a new captive-breeding facility now exists on Mallorca, and re-introductions are expected to resume. However, as a result of the recent discovery of disease, a recommendation was made in 2004 to the Balearic Government to halt the re-introduction programme. A new recovery programme for the species is now being developed. There is a need to closely monitor populations of this species, especially with regard to the recent detection of the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in introduced animals (Walker et al. 2008). A systematic programme is in place to remove Natrix maura from the range of the species.

It is crucial for a traveler to make advance reservations before visiting any place. There has been a drastic increase in the amount of people traveling around the world. If one does not book hotels in advance then it could hamper their journey. You should always focus on saving time and having a comfortable stay. Today you have the option to make paperless booking and reduce your burden as much as possible. You just need to show your ID proof at the reception and the email that you got while making the booking.
The online booking apps provide interesting discounts to the travelers to help them plan their vacations. Irrelevant of the fact whether you're on a vacation or making a business visit, e-booking is always helpful for you. If you're not aware of all the aspects of online booking then you can take help from your friends or contact professionals from online booking platforms. Getting in touch with professionals is always helpful as it helps you get answers to all your questions. If you're looking for a professional pooling service then you would contact www.elkhartpools.com. Similarly, when you're on the lookout for professional booking firms you can visit their website and have a thorough look at their services.
One should never compromise on their traveling experience. Traveling with family can be a memorable experience and it is important to make it as beautiful as possible. One of the biggest aspects of a good vacation is the place where one is staying. If the hotel and its facilities are good enough then it increases the comfort factor. Finding a good hotel is never easy and one needs suggestions of an experienced person. On these travel sites people can have a look at the reviews of previous customers and get to know more about the hotels. Good hotels are provided with better ratings and this helps in selecting the best.
Traditionally, people used to search for hotels once they landed in the destination. Searching good hotels was one of the most hectic parts of the journey. You deserve a better start to your vacation rather than wasting your time looking for hotels. If you make all the preparations from your home and reach the destination all prepared then you get the option to take a nap before going outside. Having a power nap before visiting the city gives a refreshed experience. Good hotel owners provide better ideas about the city and tell you where you should start.
Traveling with family and traveling with friends is totally different. You need to book your destination depending on the people around you. Being with friends is a totally different experience and you would choose a partyholic place for your friends. When it comes to family, safety is the most important issue. You would always look for the safety of you loved ones. While making online bookings you can also go for packages and choose the package that suits your budget.

The pond supply was turned off and drained down in preparation of the dredging.
A large excavator was used to remove loose material.
After removing the excess material the slope was smoothed and the supply was turned back on.
On #4 the power wire and station wires for the new irrigation system were dragged into place.
All of the red and blue wires are for new stations.
The lenghts of HPDE mainline were staged in location and Service Tees were welded in place.
This is the welding machine used.
The new mainline has to be threaded underneath the existing mainline that will still be used to water the course during this project.
No trenches are being left open; as the pipe is installed with the wires it is quickly back filled.
The back filled trench is very clean and will be sodded in the future.

I am having trouble finding a DJ I like in Houston.
At first we wanted a live band, hopefully acoustic, but that is looking to be out of our budget. All the dj's we are finding don't fit the style of our wedding, which is in a restaurant and has a cocktail atmosphere. We don't want the fancy lighting or anything, which is all that seems to be out there. Our budget is around $1k, hopefully under.
Anyone used a DJ like this that they can recommend?

Who was that dark-haired
Diminutive guide
Who led us down alley and aisle?
We trailed her angelic white cape
As we would a beacon, Followed
Her every gesture.
What was the name of that
Sainte of virginal memory
Who gave her finger to God?
The digit we saw in the glass case
In that chapel in Roma, Forever
Thumbing its way to heaven.
Remember that beautiful
Begging woman who sat on the steps
Outside the church?
The one who held her swaddled bundle
In postpartum pretense, As she
Looked up, her hand held out to us
The voice that she used to call
For alms, The most mournful sound
That anyone could ever bear.

My sons told me that November was coming
but I didn't believe them. There's no way
it will ever be November, I said. We're not
that stupid. Not here, this is America.
Now, when I meet up with my friends we don't
talk much about November even though it's
November and that's all we used to talk about.
We talk about sports and our kids and our work.
Before November, we prided ourselves on not
talking about our work, but there it is.
My wife doesn't like to watch the news during
November because November reminds her
of her father and her bosses who did things
to her in November during the years when
every month for her was November.
I sit at my desk and force myself to read
the stories about November in the paper.
Sometimes, I want to shout about November
but the guys I work with go through their lives
as if November never happened. I think they
think I'm crazy to worry so much about November.
Sometimes, I wonder if they even know it's
November, though, is no time to be quiet--
not with wind whistling through the trees
and the leaves and dead branches waiting
to fall.

When we came walking, feet sore, covered in dust
masters' whip and lash still throbbing hot across our scars
troubling our minds, dimming our hopes
we saw the green land and sighed.
Wagons carrying our aged, littles, mamas with suckling babes
those sick with bellies full of mourning
escaped or freshly purchased
only this time purchased for family by family.
Languages like spinning wheels spun round and round
from poor white immigrants also desperate
for land in Wisconsin. We didn't hear the dreaded
southern cracker voice, so we settled the green land.
All of us looking for newness, we wondered where
Red Injuns had gone. Native people forced away
from these abundant lakes and stretched out lands
still called by their original names.
Carrying promise in our hands to farm the green land
we were not empty but full of love
coursing like fresh waters to refresh souls and cleanse
the bitter sourness of slavery.
Cousins paused here then traveled up to Canada
not trusting freedom within US borders
we distrusted too, but cracking bones begged for rest.
Winter we fought snow and ice thinking about family
fighting snow and ice further north.
Praying good life for us and ours scattered
the length and width across the green land
Creator helped us stay put.
Whether we looked back south or forward north
we had to anchor ourselves in the present
praying for a Midwest welcome that our color be hidden
inside hearts willing to know we are people too.

I have already written about best practices for choosing how to put brackets which style of variable writing to choose. However, I would like to talk more about good programming style and its practice.
I might repeat, but knowing and sticking to one good practice is a skilled professional sign and I am sure that you are one or want to be one of them. So you have to know and you can not forget that your program (not only websites) is like a living beast with whom many people might work in the future. Your code is like an art piece that needs editing, renewal and etc. You can not just think that you will always be the person who manages everything and supports all the bugs.
By understanding this you also agree that the code must be maintainable and readable not only for you after a year or two but to other people that may not be so skilled or advanced and otherwise.

HTC™ Reduced Capacity Blowout Kit™
1 item:
The HTC™ Reduced Capacity Blowout Kit™ provides an even more discreet way to carry personal medical gear for quick ambidextrous access. It can be worn as a standalone component or seamlessly integrated into the HTC Low Profile System™.
Worn in the small of your back, you can easily remove the pouch from the platform with a quick pull on the soft handle which remains tucked against the front of the pouch until needed. The pouch is connected to the handle with a lanyard to prevent it from falling to the ground when you require quick access to your medical gear.
The pouch dimensions are approximately 5.5" x 5.5" x 1" - just large enough to accommodate the medical components for a minimalist GSW / IFAK kit. An elastic sleeve on the bottom is designed to hold a standard tourniquet. Medical supplies can be purchased as an option with this pouch. For a complete list of medical supplies, please visit the product page for Medical Kits.
If you already own the HTC Blowout Kit™ and would like to purchase the smaller pouch shown here for use with your current platform, click here to purchase just the pouch and handle.
