April 11 — Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are preparing to take another stab at legislation to facilitate good Samaritan remediation of abandoned and contaminated mining sites, or "orphan mines."
Sens. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) and Cory Gardner (R-Colo.), along with Rep. Scott Tipton (R-Colo.), are fine-tuning the draft legislation, dubbed the Good Samaritan Cleanup of Orphan Mines Act of 2016, to optimize its chances of passage.
The bill would allow entities with no record of contamination on a specific site to remediate with limited liability under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), known as the Superfund law, and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, commonly referred to as the Clean Water Act.
Orphaned mines are those for which the owner cannot be found or is financially unable or unwilling to carry out a cleanup.
The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee considered the draft in early March. Now the proposal is poised to move forward with broad support, Bennet told Bloomberg BNA.
"I do see [introduction] on the horizon," Bennet said April 7 before the Senate departed Washington for the weekend. "Both the chairman and the ranking member have both said they'd like to move forward, so I'm optimistic."
Bennet said the sponsors are going to continue to deliberate with Sens. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), the committee chair, and Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), the ranking member, as well as local environmental groups, to "see if we can get this thing on the [Senate] floor in a way that's satisfactory to everybody."
Bennet spokesman Adam Bozzi told BNA his office is "optimistic" that lawmakers would be able to pass the bill.
Tipton, the only sponsor in the House, echoed those assessments.
"When all three offices have agreed on the language of the bill, identical language will be introduced in both chambers," Tipton told Bloomberg BNA in an April 11 e-mail. "My office remains closely involved with the drafting of this legislation, and we have been involved in all discussions with stakeholders and others."
Gardner declined Bloomberg BNA requests for comment on the draft, as did his spokesman, Alex Siciliano.
In 2011, the Government Accountability Office estimated there were 161,000 orphan hardrock mine sites in the Western U.S. and Alaska, and that 33,000 of those sites damaged or continue to damage the environment. Orphan mines often contaminate local water sources with chemicals and hazardous heavy metals.
The draft bill marks the culmination of more than a decade of orphan mine legislative conceptualizing. The Good Samaritan Cleanup of Abandoned Hardrock Mines Act of 2013 and the Cleanup of Inactive and Abandoned Mines Act of 2005, which the Senate Environment Committee approved a year after introduction, provide much of the foundation for the 2016 version.
Despite the long-running negotiations between lawmakers and environmental groups on the language of the bill, the sponsors are still modifying some provisions.
"I do expect there to be differences in the final language, compared to the version that was discussed at the Senate [Environment and Public Works] legislative hearing back in March," Tipton told BNA. "That is the nature of negotiations on tough issues like this one."
In testimony at the hearing, Bennet said his staff relied on environmental groups Trout Unlimited and Earthworks to craft the draft. Spokesman Bozzi pointed Bloomberg BNA to the Animas River Stakeholders Group as another interlocutor.
The three groups continue to work closely with Bennet's office, as well as staffers for the other two lawmakers, the groups told BNA.
The draft is an impressive and compelling product, but some revisions will help boost its value, those groups told Bloomberg BNA in interviews.
Trout Unlimited and Animas River Stakeholders Group spokesmen said the bill must safeguard well-intentioned good Samaritans from prohibitively costly liability and litigation. The draft exempts good Samaritans, described as those with no ties to orphan mine contamination, from Superfund and Clean Water Act liability related to past, present or future contamination in line with the terms of a cleanup permit.
The bill's sponsors did, however, tack on a $10,000-per-day fine under Superfund and the Clean Water Act for permit violations.
"We're trying to find the right balance, the sweet spot of an appropriate amount of accountability, but not too high of a burden so good Samaritans don't even attempt cleanups," Steve Moyer, Trout Unlimited vice president for government affairs, told BNA. "Making sure liabilities are not too high and permitting programs are at various risks levels … a lot of that has been pretty much settled. Folks probably won't want to change much there."
Peter Butler, Animas River Stakeholders Group coordinator, also told Bloomberg BNA that hefty fines would deter participation in the permitting and cleanup program.
"If [good Samaritans] are concerned about big penalties or whether they have to put up a bond, they'll just say 'this is too much, we're not going to do it,' " he said.
Moyer pointed to citizen suit language as a potential sticking point. The draft carved out a section for citizen suits, but left it blank.
The legislation would allow the Environmental Protection Agency, states and tribes to issue cleanup permits and, in turn, the terms of potential liability. Moyer called on lawmakers to clarify the connection between liabilities and penalties with scale of damage and violation.
"There is discretion in this language, and there would be discretion by EPA, it's just not perfectly clear," Moyer told BNA. "That's one of the thoughts on the minds of people. Are there ways to be more clear, and to make penalties commensurate with harm? That would provide some assurances to good Samaritans and lower concerns about financial risk."
Butler agreed. "There's no need to have big financial assurances for small sites," he said. "It's a little hard to make the bill fit all circumstances."
Moyer said Trout Unlimited would like to clean up mines by funneling contamination into wetlands and ponds, then treating the water before releasing it back into a river via a point source. Liability concerns, however, hinder their ability to do that, he said.
The environmental group Earthworks also is collaborating with Bennet's office to improve the bill, executive director Jennifer Krill told Bloomberg BNA. Krill advocated for ensuring that good Samaritans are held accountable for damage.
"We believe if water quality is made worse, then the liability protection for the good Samaritan should be removed," she said. "We believe that if the good Samaritan is acting outside of the boundaries of the permit, then liability protection should be removed."
Krill said cleanup projects should be reserved for simpler projects, such as the removal of waste rock pile at the headwater of a river, rather than more complicated ones like unplugging mine shafts. The legislation should also include more funding for cleanup projects and prohibit remining for profit, Krill said.
The draft provides grant opportunities in accordance with the Clean Water Act.
All the environmental representatives pointed to the Gold King Mine wastewater spill in 2015 in Colorado as evidence of the perils at stake in remediation. The EPA and a long-time contractor released a deluge of waste into an Animus River tributary. The EPA added the vicinity to the Superfund National Priorities List on April 6 .
Lawmakers and their staffers didn't specify the changes they'd prefer in communications with BNA. Still, Moyer said the bill reflects an unprecedented level of bipartisanship.
"The three offices have really put a lot of work into it," he said. "It is bipartisan in nature, which was lacking too much in the past, where one party was pushing one way and the other pushing another way."
Senate Environment Committee leaders signaled a drive to push the bill forward.
Inhofe told BNA he is aiming to mark up good Samaritan legislation following committee work on Toxic Substances Control Act reform and the Water Resources Development Act. Boxer expressed some concerns with the draft during the March hearing, but touted the bill in remarks to Bloomberg BNA as viable.
"I've discussed it with my staff. I think there's good opportunity there," she said. "I think there's light at the [end of the] tunnel on that one."

The current draft legislation on abandoned mine cleanups is the culmination of more than a decade of legislative conceptualizing. The 2013 and 2005 bills summarized here are the foundations for the 2016 draft.
Good Samaritan Cleanup of Orphan Mines Act of 2016: Sens. Bennet and Gardner, along with Rep. Tipton, aim to allow entities unaffiliated with orphan mine contamination to remediate sites with limited CERCLA and Clean Water Act liability. This legislation does not amend CERCLA or the water act.
Good Samaritan Cleanup of Abandoned Hardrock Mines Act of 2013: Bennet, Tipton and then-Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.) failed to advance this bill, which would have amended the Clean Water Act to authorize the Environmental Protection Agency, states and tribes to issue good Samaritan cleanup permits. The legislation would have shielded participants from liability concerns in line with the permit.
Cleanup of Inactive and Abandoned Mines Act of 2005: Former Sens. Ken Salazar (D-Colo.) and Wayne Allard (R-Colo.) sought to authorize the EPA to develop a remediation permit process, which would have issued such permits to good Samaritans. Compared to its 2016 successor, the legislation lacked the full CERCLA and water act liability protections and didn't include citizen suit language. The 2005 bill, which would not have amended CERCLA or the water act, moved out of the Senate Environment Committee but then stalled.

Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec
: Space artifacts have been making headlines of late, both for the prices being paid and for NASA's attempts to retain what it sees as its property. Sharing column space this week are articles about an Apollo 13 flown checklist soaring to six figures at auction and the recovery of a 6-foot RL-10 rocket engine. Whether a NASA artifact can be sold, or is seized, is not always clear but it often depends on if the seller can clearly establish title.
: Chris Ferguson, the commander of the final space shuttle mission, will leave NASA on Friday for a new job in the private sector. An astronaut since 1998, Ferguson's spaceflight career included three trips to the International Space Station – STS-115 onboard Atlantis in 2006, Endeavour's STS-126 mission in 2008, and STS-135 again on Atlantis, which closed out NASA's 30-year shuttle program. In total, he logged 40 days and 10 hours in orbit. On the ground, Ferguson served as the deputy chief of the Astronaut Office from November 2009 to September 2010, and played the drums in the all-astronaut band Max Q.
: The advertisement for a postmarked envelope or "cover" signed by seven Chinese pilots was designed to attract collectors' attention but it also caught the eye of two space observers. The autographs were more than just "very rare," as the ad promoted, but seemingly revealed the previously unknown names of China's second team of taikonauts. Selected two years ago, the candidates included China's first two female trainees, Wang Yaping and Liu Yang, as uncovered via the envelope by researchers Tony Quine and Igor Lissov.
: A year after becoming the first company to launch, fly and recover a spacecraft from earth orbit, SpaceX revealed Thursday its next targeted frontier: the model rocket market. Writing on Twitter, the company offered a sneak peak at its 22.8 inch tall (1:88 scale) flying model of the Falcon 9 launch vehicle topped with a miniature Dragon capsule. Although listed on Amazon, the SpaceX-designed kit is not yet available (the product page says "coming soon" and its yet to be priced).
: Seattle's Museum of Flight dedicated on Thursday its new space gallery for two-time space tourist Charles Simonyi. In return, he lent them the second of his two landing spacecraft, Soyuz TMA-13, to be displayed next to the full-size space shuttle trainer the museum is getting from NASA. As it happens, Simonyi was the second self-funded space traveler to offer his Soyuz for a shuttle-centric exhibit. Less than a month earlier, Greg Olsen loaned his Soyuz TMA-6 to the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum in New York, where NASA's prototype orbiter Enterprise will go display next summer.
: A missing moon rock display has led investigators to finding that NASA has lost track of more than 500 of its extraterrestrial material samples — including moon rocks, meteorites and comet particles — that were loaned to researchers and educators over the past 40 years. According to a report released Thursday by the NASA Office of Inspector General, the space agency's curation office is lacking sufficient control over its loans of astromaterials, leading to an increased risk of their loss.
: After almost two decades, a full-size space shuttle model was moved on Sunday from Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex to make space for a real shuttle. The high-fidelity replica Explorer was trucked on top of a wheeled-transporter to a turn basin about five miles away, where in a few months it will depart via barge to Texas for display at Space Center Houston. A $100 million, 64,000-square-foot facility will fill its space at the Kennedy visitor complex, which is being built to house NASA's space shuttle Atlantis arriving in November 2012.
: New York City's Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum hosted a title-transfer ceremony Sunday celebrating it now owns space shuttle Enterprise. NASA's deputy administrator Lori Garver signed over the test orbiter aboard the aircraft carrier turned museum in a ceremonial gesture repeating the title transfer completed last month. Sen. Charles Schumer and other local elected officials joined the event, which was the first step towards Intrepid receiving the prototype space shuttle in 2012.
: Rocket designer Boris Chertok, who as deputy to the chief of the Soviet space program (Sergei Korolyov) was closely involved in launching the world's first satellite and the first human into space, died Wednesday in Moscow. He was 99. Chertok, who first became involved in space when he led a group of Soviet experts to post-World War II Germany to examine the V-2 rocket, specialized in spacecraft control systems. Actively involved in Russian space efforts through the RSC Energia Corporation until recently, Chertok recounted his sixty year career in his memoirs, "Rockets and People," which NASA has been translating and publishing in four volumes.
: The space shuttle Discovery reached a milestone on Friday in its transition from a flight-worthy vehicle to a museum display. Technicians inside Orbiter Processing Facility-1 at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida closed the retired fleet leader's two 60-ft. payload bay doors and then powered down the shuttle for the final time. Like its sister ships Endeavour and Atlantis, Discovery is undergoing preparations to be delivered next year to its final home. Discovery is bound next April for the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in northern Virginia.
: Celebrating the achievements, legacy and completion of NASA's space shuttle program, Winco Intl.'s new limited edition set combines the official lapel pins for all 135 shuttle missions with a medallion minted from shuttle-flown metal in a presentation matted atop an original collage by the designer of NASA's space shuttle commemorative insignia. Commissioned by the U.S. space agency, the "Celebrating the Space Shuttle Program" framed set is debuting online as part of Winco's latest, limited-time direct offer for collectSPACE readers.
: Destined for display at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, space shuttle Atlantis has been in Orbiter Processing Facility-2 at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida since returning from the last of NASA's shuttle missions in July. Its final power down scheduled for as soon as this week, Atlantis has had many of its internal systems and hardware removed to be safe and suitable for exhibit. Before its flight deck could go dark for a final time, Atlantis was lit once more for a photo opportunity to capture it as it appeared powered for flight.
: Russia on Wednesday launched Soyuz TMA-03M with three crewmates bound for the International Space Station's 30th expedition. Cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko, NASA's Don Pettit and the European Space Agency's André Kuipers will bring the ISS back to its full six-member residency and see the arrival of five supply craft, including the first two U.S. commercially launched cargo capsules. The TMA-03M trio was also the last to launch with a mission patch designed by children.
: The first Dutchman to return to space, André Kuipers' second stay aboard the International Space Station (ISS) has inspired Dutch companies to create new commemoratives. PostNL has introduced 34 postcards and a three-stamp "sheetlet" in honor of Kuipers' PromISSe mission. Dutch watchmaker Roland Oostwegel has created the R.O.1 SPACE, a special mission elapsed time tracking watch with limited editions available for those still on Earth. And speaking of space-bound supplies, don't forget André Kuipers' personal choice of Dutch cheese...
: A not-so-strange metal "space ball" dropped out of the sky and slammed in to the remote grassland of northern Namibia last month, according to media reports. The 14-inch-wide (35-centimeter) metallic sphere impacted the ground about 480 miles north of Windhoek, the African country's capital. After consulting with NASA and the European Space Agency, and determining it was made of a "metal alloy known to man," the space ball was recognized as space debris, a tank that held fuel for rocket thrusters aboard a spacecraft. A number of these spherical tanks have been found across southern Africa, Australia, and Latin America over the past two decades.
: When Aki Hoshide arrives on the International Space Station in May 2012, he'll be stylishly outfitted thanks to a dozen amateur artists. JAXA revealed Monday the winners of its recent contest to design shirts for Hoshide's stay aboard the ISS as part of the Expedition 32/33 crews. The 12 designs, which have been reproduced on the front, back, and sleeves of three t-shirts, include an anthropomorphisized Kibo laboratory and a space age take on the evolution of man. The winners, in addition to seeing their art in space, will each receive their design's t-shirt.
: NASA's Johnson Space Center signed an agreement Dec. 19 transferring ownership of the Shuttle Motion Simulator to Texas A&M University, College Station. Unlike NASA's other retired shuttle simulators and mockups, and even the three flown orbiters themselves, the SMS is not destined for museum display but will continue service as an operational simulator. After it's delivered and reassembled at Texas A&M in 2012, the simulator's detailed flight deck will be opened for 'flights' by students of all ages and the public. "It will be living history that many people can enjoy," John Valasek, director of the university's vehicle systems and control laboratory, says.
: Having logged more than a month in space on his three missions (including the final space shuttle flight), Rex Walheim is no stranger to floating. But come Monday (Jan. 2), he will embark on his first float — Rose Parade-style, that is. Rex will be featured on Bayer Advanced's "Garden of Imagination" float riding with his older brother Lance, a noted horticulturist. The float will use more than 20,000 roses to share their story of how the ability to "just imagine" led to the careers they now enjoy.
: Straddling the New Year, the first of two Gravity Recovery And Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) spacecraft, GRAIL-A, entered orbit around the moon on Saturday, its mirror twin (GRAIL-B) set to do the same on New Year's Day. Launched onboard the same rocket on Sept. 10, GRAIL-A began its lunar orbit insertion burn at 3:21 p.m. CST, and was confirmed about the moon 40 minutes later. The staggered arrival will set up the twin probes' tandem mission to map the moon's gravity field.

Lately i've been really into coral color and that's include for lipstick color. When i walk to Revlon booth, they sell this lipstick with special price so of course i have to grab one.
It comes in a simple black color with indented criss cross pattern and there is the lipstick color on top of the lipstick cap. It looks classy in my opinion. The color on top of the lipstick is very useful too when it comes to the "hurry time".
At the bottom of the lipstick, it has a sticker that tells you the name and number of the lipstick's shade.
There is "REVLON" word engraved in the lipstick and its pretty i think.
This lipstick is a sheer pink coral lipstick with glitters in it. This photo don't do the justice. You can't see the pink but in person, you definitely can see a hint of pink in it. The texture is creamy and really easy to apply. I wouldn't say its moisturizing but it doesn't dry out my lips either.
if you want to see how i wear it, you can see it HERE
classy packaging
there is a color indicator on top of the cap
love the color
not dried up my lips
Errr...NO !!

If nothing else, this year's Oscar ceremony marks the moment when mainstream Hollywood finally clasped Joel and Ethan Coen to its collective bosom. While the Coens have had Oscar recognition before (a best screenplay award for Fargo), it has never been this personal: the best picture category is the big one, and the Academy does not give it out lightly. Their long march to the centre ground has been a purely cinematic one, however. The brothers still look and behave just like the pair of skinny weirdos who shambled into the light in 1986 with Blood Simple - aside from a slight greying of the locks and Joel's dispensing with his Howard Stern-esque pony-tail.
The Coens' 22-year career has seen a number of false starts, new dawns and strange twists. They rose to prominence through cultivating an unlikely but fluid combination of sculpted, literary dialogue and comic-book visuals, cast from a stock company of funny-looking guys and peppy women. (Look at the list of people who appeared in early Coen films: Frances McDormand, Gabriel Byrne, Nicolas Cage, Judy Davis, Holly Hunter, Tim Robbins. These guys know how to pick 'em.) But for a long time, it seemed this idiosyncratic style would win them only cult status, and little in the way of box-office returns or A-list connections. The pair won the Cannes Palme d'Or in 1991 for Barton Fink - but when did Hollywood ever care what the French think? Their follow-up, The Hudsucker Proxy, for years considered the greatest script never filmed, turned out to be a financial disaster, earning on its US release only a 10th of what it cost to make.
But the success of Fargo pointed the way forward. The film's comparative cheapness (no doubt born of desperation) refocused the audience's attention on the wit and structure of the Coens' scripts. Hollywood still didn't like them, exactly, but could express its admiration by Oscar-ing the screenplay, and honouring the Coens' proxy, Frances McDormand.
The acting community, though, sat up and took notice. This is what we might call the Hannah and Her Sisters effect: after Michael Caine won the Oscar for Woody Allen's film, A-listers lined up round the block to get in Allen's odd little films. Like Allen, the Coens have found this a mixed blessing. Casting Jeff Bridges in The Big Lebowski was an undoubted stroke of genius. Billy Bob Thornton fit the lead of The Man Who Wasn't There like a glove. But their partnership with George Clooney produced two curate's-egg films: O Brother, Where Art Thou? (still better known for its soundtrack) and the cod-screwball comedy Intolerable Cruelty.
Access to bigger people and bigger money also meant something more subtle was changing in the Coen universe. Apart from a few interpolations by their old pal Sam Raimi, the Coens wrote all their own films. Until, that is, Intolerable Cruelty, for which the Coens took a years-old screenplay by other writers and completely rewrote it. Then they went and remade The Ladykillers: pointless and lumbering, it's their worst film. No Country for Old Men was adapted from the novel by Cormac McCarthy, which makes it the Coens' third consecutive film not to have originated with their own material. Leaving Coen-world behind has been, ironically, the savviest move the Coens ever made.
Of course, there is more to No Country's Oscar supremacy than the Academy getting over the Coens' hermetic weirdness. Principally, you would guess the film's success is largely down to voting demographics. No Country's basic message is that old geezers are wiser than young geezers: a theme perfectly attuned to the silver-surfer generation that comprises the Oscar votership. No doubt this also played a part in the passing over of Julie Christie in the best actress category: the indignities of Alzheimer's are perhaps something the Academy would rather not be reminded of. Marion Cotillard, star of La Vie en Rose, was the unexpected beneficiary; the Edith Piaf biopic was another hit with the greying baby boomer. (Cotillard was also the surprise pick of the Bafta voters, who exactly predicted the Oscars in all the acting categories.)
This was not a big year for UK patriotism, although Brits did take home two of the major awards in the shape of Daniel Day-Lewis and, more remarkably, Tilda Swinton (now there's another long, long march to the centre for you). Britain's big hope, Atonement, was fobbed off with a single statuette for best score. But it was a year for America to feel good about its own homegrown and more off-kilter talents. Paul Thomas Anderson's film There Will Be Blood was rewarded, as was the indie Juno. In the absence of any Titanic-style blockbuster on which the Academy could all agree, this year was one to reflect on the fact that Hollywood can take a while, but it gets there in the end.

TAIWAN: 'At a time of swift growth, China isn't inclined to conflict'....
Since their stormy separation in 1949, Taiwan has resisted China's stated goal of taking over the small island state. Former member of Taiwan's National Assembly, professor Tang Shaocheng spoke with Rudroneel Ghosh about China's dramatic rise, Taiwan's recent presidential elections and why the new regime's policy of engagement seems to work:
How do Taiwanese view mainland China's rise?
Taiwanese view China with very mixed feelings. On the one hand, people fear China's rise could harm the status quo between the two sides, namely no unification, no indepen-dence and no use of force. Due to a lack of mutual trust, confidence-building measures are necessary to improve the situation. On the other hand, some Taiwanese judge the rise of China in a more positive way. They cite Beijing's insistence on unification through peaceful means. The 2008 global financial tsunami is still vivid in the memory of many Taiwanese. Taiwan's swift economic reco-very must be attributed to President Ma Ying-jeou's policy of reconciliation with mainland China while the US itself was the epicentre of the crisis - trade and financial injections from China, the influx of Chinese tourists and the procurement of Taiwanese commodities by Chinese provincial governments were vital to the recovery of Taiwan's economy.
Taiwan is an example of Chinese democracy - aren't there fears Beijing could stifle this through a tight economic embrace?
Taiwan's democracy is deep-rooted enough not to be rever-sed. Beijing can only win the hearts and minds of the Taiwanese people to reach its goal of unification. Even then, the Taiwanese would have the last say. We must also realise a chaotic Taiwan with constant unrest will not be an acceptable option for Beijing.
President Ma's re-election vindicated his pro-China economic policies. But is any form of unification between Taiwan and China realistically possible in the near future?
No. There is no such plan of unification - the time is not ripe. The two sides are now preparing for dialogue on a peace accord... without the precondition of a renunciation of violence, there will be no foundation for further negotiations. However, if severe external factors were to affect cross-strait relations, anything is possible. If another financial crisis affects both sides, why can't they work together to face the challenge? Germany was reunited in 1990 - but nobody expected that, even in 1989.
If President Ma had lost his re-election bid, how would cross-strait relations be affected?
This would have meant uncertainties because the opposition Democratic Progressive Party doesn't accept the 1992 Consensus, which is 'One China with different interpretations'. This is Beijing's prerequisite for bilateral negotiations, accepted by the ruling Kuomintang.
China insists its ambi-tions are peaceful - but its actions can be aggressive. How should countries res-pond to emerging disputes?
According to the famous Chinese strategist Sun Tzu, the best strategy to win a war is to adopt non-war measures - win the hearts and minds of the opponents or make clear to them the serious consequences of confrontation. Such tactics are commonly used by Chinese authorities. But at a time of swift domestic growth, China isn't inclined to conflict with others.
Also, its rise has enabled Beijing to be much more influential in the international arena. Therefore, next to the realist approach - the use of power and interests - the liberal and social constructivist approaches through the use of trade, cooperation and culture are all relevant means to negotiate with China and settle disputes....

This is a gift for a friend of mine (hopefully she will not be reading this blog until after her birthday). I have scraplifted from quite a few places. Originally someone had given my father-in-law a Sanity Pack with the quote on a piece of paper and all the bits and pieces in a drawstring bag. Using Emily's brown paper bag book idea, I have created the Sanity Pack. (Complete with marbles, ball, candle, string, rubber band,eraser, sticky tape and thumb tack.) I hope that ? likes the pack and can see it's usefulness in years to come when we all may need some sanity!!
(Sorry that some of the photo's are not the best, it is overcast here and I could not decide if I needed the flash on or off)

Common Reveals Erykah Badu Dumped Him Over the Phone
We have a sneaking suspicion that Erykah Badu may have partially influenced the title of Common's new memoir, 'One Day It'll All Make Sense.' In a candid Q&A with gossip queen Wendy Williams on her talk show this morning (Sept. 13), Common revealed his ex-girlfriend Badu gave him his very first heartbreak -- and over the phone, no less!
Common, 39, dated his first real love, Badu, 40, for two years from 2000-2002, and the talk show guest gave 'The Wendy Williams Show' audience a glimpse into how it all ended.
"She handed it to me. I was in my hotel room on tour and ... she called me and was like, 'Hey, I don't wanna be in this relationship no more. I'm liking somebody else,'" the rapper-actor revealed of his 'Love of My Life (An Ode to Hip-Hop)' collaborator. "That was my first love and my first heartbreak," he added.
Badu, who dated and had her first child with Outkast's Andre 3000 before Common, went on to have a second child with rapper the D.O.C. in 2004, and a third child in 2009, with rapper Jay Electronica.
But Common refuses to hold the harsh breakup against his former flame, insisting they are now good friends. He told Wendy, "It taught me a lot of things, and when it happened I kinda really got into myself and really learned about myself and I was able to move on, and now me and E is real cool."
Common was feeling quite generous sharing the intimate details of his personal life, promoting his memoir and all, and also revealed he is close with another one of his famous exes: tennis superstar Serena Williams. "We're just friends now," Common admitted after he and Serena called it quits earlier this year.

Date Fairness.com Resource Read it at: Jun 05, 2016 Panama Papers Show How Rich United States Clients Hid Millions Abroad
QUOTE: These transactions and others like them for a stable of wealthy clients from the United States are outlined in extraordinary detail in the trove of internal Mossack Fonseca documents known as the Panama Papers. The materials were obtained by the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung and the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, and have now been shared with The New York Times. In recent weeks, the papers' revelations about Mossack Fonseca's international clientele have shaken the financial world. The Times's examination of the files found that Mossack Fonseca also had at least 2,400 United States-based clients over the past decade, and set up at least 2,800 companies on their behalf in the British Virgin Islands, Panama, the Seychelles and other jurisdictions that specialize in helping hide wealth.
New York Times Oct 07, 2007 The World: Living in Exile Isn't What It Used to Be
QUOTE: Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, Haiti and Venezuela are all discussing ways of bringing former leaders out of exile to face human rights or corruption charges, and legal experts expect these various efforts to be energized by a ruling by Chile's Supreme Court ordering that Mr. Fujimori be sent to a jail cell in Peru to await trial.
New York Times May 11, 2007 Bush and Democrats in Accord on Trade Deals
QUOTE: The unusual agreement, which came after weeks of negotiations, would guarantee workers the right to organize, ban child labor and prohibit forced labor in trading-partner countries. It would also require trading partners to enforce environmental laws already on their books and comply with several international environmental agreements.
New York Times May 06, 2007 From China to Panama, a Trail of Poisoned Medicine
QUOTE: The syrupy poison, diethylene glycol, is an indispensable part of the modern world, an industrial solvent and prime ingredient in some antifreeze. It is also a killer. And the deaths, if not intentional, are often no accident. Over the years, the poison has been loaded into all varieties of medicine — cough syrup, fever medication, injectable drugs — a result of counterfeiters who profit by substituting the sweet-tasting solvent for a safe, more expensive syrup, usually glycerin, commonly used in drugs, food, toothpaste and other products.
New York Times Apr 13, 2005 U.S. Asylum Sought by Cuban Tied to Terror Cases
QUOTE: Luis Posada Carriles, a CIA-trained Cuban exile implicated in a series of terrorist incidents, applied for political asylum in the United States yesterday, prompting at least one congressman to assert that granting the request would undermine the nation's credibility in the war on terrorism.
Washington Post Sep 26, 2004 TATTOOED WARRIORS: The Next Generation; Shuttling Between Nations, Latino Gangs Confound the Law
QUOTE:...many human rights advocates and community leaders worry that the aggressive measures governments are taking against gangs have not solved the problem as much as they have spread it.
New York Times Apr 30, 2004 Study Finds 25 Nations Hindered by Corruption
QUOTE: A survey of government accountability and openness in 25 countries around the globe has found that each one is challenged by corruption and lacks sufficient protections against electoral abuses, including developed democracies such as the United States, Germany and Japan.
Washington Post Sep 17, 2001 A New War and Its Scale
QUOTE: The military action being planned for Afghanistan is part of a broader diplomatic as well as military policy of holding nations accountable that provide aid and comfort to terrorists.
New York Times Mar 06, 2001 New Files Tie U.S. to Deaths of Latin Leftists in 1970's
QUOTE: [A recently declassified State Department] cable appeared to open new avenues of inquiry about the American role in Condor, a shadowy operation to stamp out the Latin American left that, among other things, dispatched death squads to kill critics at home and overseas.

A man was arrested after bouncing around clapping his hands in front of police and goading officers, a court was told.
Mitchell Flackett, a 27-year-old traffic management worker, of Hamlet Road, Fleetwood, pleaded guilty to possessing cocaine.
He was given a 12 months' conditional discharge and ordered to pay £85 costs with £15 victims' surcharge by District Judge James Hatton, sitting at Blackpool Magistrates' Court.
Pam Smith, prosecuting, told the court the offence happened on December 20 in the early hours.
Police on Queen Street were confronted by Flackett who started clapping his hands at them.
Flackett told officers: "Well done Blackpool police.
"I'm surrounded by Scousers and you don't care."
When told he was going to be searched Flackett produced two small wraps of cocaine which he said he had bought in the resort.
Patrick Nelligan, defending, said: "He tends to walk himself into trouble and bring himself to the attention of the police."

How Habit-Based Training Can Help You Spend More Time Outdoors
Since I wrote an article for GGS about the benefits of spending more time outdoors, many women have asked the question, ?What can I do outside instead of going to the gym"?
Today, I want to share my favorite outdoor training tips that can support your fitness goals and expand your movement boundaries with ?out of the box? exercises that you can do outside with minimal equipment.
As a single working mom, finding the time to work out can be frustrating, leaving me with a feeling of failure.
Sticking to a rigid training program that requires specialized equipment and blocked time can raise stress levels instead of adding to our quality of life.
To be totally candid, before I became a mom, my mentality was that if you wanted something bad enough you?d make the time to get it done. Ha! Even as a personal trainer, I struggle with finding the time to commit to a training program. Nowadays, I need more flexibility in my training so that it can fit into my lifestyle. One strategy I personally use and coach my clients with is what I call ?habit-based training.? Just like nutrition, focusing on healthy habits as opposed to sticking to a rigid meal plan, habit-based training is an approach that helps build long-term consistency in your fitness journey.
For example, you can install a pull-up bar to your door frame and hang on it or do a pull-up every time you go past it. Another example is sitting on the ground while working instead of on chairs while frequently changing your seate...

I would like to see Big Pharma create an anti-depressant called "Spring Morning" that duplicates the triumph, optimism, joy and full heart I feel on these days.
I like to read the comments sections of controversial topics. Here's one exchange regarding an article written by a lady that feels ashamed of being overweight. The respondent thinks she has the answer:
Comment: "she should be more active. Did you ever see a picture of a caveman? They were thin because they ran and stayed active".
Response: "Actually I've never seen a picture of a caveman. Cameras were so unreliable back then".
Our acreage on Oak Grove Road abutted Joe Harris' property separated by a creek. Joe owned the Diamond Dot store on M59 in Howell and raised beef. We were told it was private property, to never trespass, so we were always back there. We often took "hikes", would see Joe's cattle and would taunt the bull to chase us. I have no idea why we thought that was a good idea. We would taunt the bull by jumping around, calling to him and dancing, and he lazily go back to his business of eating grass. Except one day when we were again walking away a disappointed.
It's never a good sign when one of your buddies yells "HOLY SHIT!" and runs for their life. It's all in the way they run. Not a jog or running to first base but an absolute panic complete with head down and arm twirling. I think of the line "I don't have to run fast, just faster than you". The rest of us looked behind we could see one really pissed off bull bearing down on us like a train. We all ran for the same tree. The guys taller than me, like all of them, grabbed the low hanging branches and swinging up, left exactly no branches for me. My brother Mike extended his hand to pull me up but I knew he would dangle me like a red cape in front of that bull. A huge branch of the tree was lying on the ground. It was just big enough for me to fit under. He chased around the tree to get me from one side and I'd slip under the branch. Then he'd go around the other side and I'd duck under the branches again. This stalemate went on much longer than was necessary. Bulls, like kids, may not be bright, but what they lack in smarts, they make up in sheer stubbornness. I got tired of this real quick but not enough to be gored by Mr. Bad Mood. He eventually lost interest and slowly walked away. My "buddies" got down from the tree and we decided our hike was over. Now we just had to walk by the bull on the way out.
I downloaded a free app that would age your picture so you can see what you'd look like. Nothing happened.
Watching the sunrise over the ocean this morning, I saw a woman doing Tai Chi. Her spiritual exercise. Then I realized she was doing Selfies.
Karen and I used to play gigs at Dillons in Haslett. One night four guys came in, of the sort that most likely had never been in a bar. The kind with pocket protectors, calculator holsters and their top buttons fastened. It was obvious they had never smoked because they held their cigarettes awkwardly and coughed a lot. It was an Easter Egg hunt. They would scope out a cutie, all would stare and put their heads together and giggle like little girls. They were hurriedly getting trashed. The Alpha male left a cigarette in his mouth the whole time like James Dean. You could tell it was driving him crazy as he kept wincing. Then ten beautiful sorority sisters walked through the door. They were dressed to the Nines but the standout was a tall long haired blonde with a pink mohair sweater. These guys started seizing. The Mother Lode. They giggled and put their heads together to plan their strategy. The Alpha was bestowing his knowledge of CHICKS!!! With his cigarette hanging, and beer in hand, the Alpha rose and swaggered toward the trophy blonde. The remaining guys were wide eyed with anticipation. Alpha squatted next to the blonde and began talking her up. She was not receptive. All the while the cigarette smoke was rising into his face. He tried to change the angle of his head, lost his balance falling forward and stuck his cigarette right into her mohair sweater. It went up like a torch. Everything got chaotic then. He rose from the floor and threw his beer on the fire, her face and hair. Karen and I missed the next verse but kept playing. The blonde about smacked the shit out of Alpha. The sisters were yelling obscenities. He walked dejectedly back to his table without his cigarette. Or the girl. The guys all got up, hang dog, and walked out the door. Cigarettes burning and beers unfinished.
Got on the scale this morning and I was up by 2 lbs. Then I saw lint on the scale. Whew!
Karen an I were on the west side and stopped to pick up a few items at Meijers. The last time I was at the west side Meijers I was walking into the store when this lady walked out in front of me. The entire back of her dress was tucked into the waist of her pantyhose showing the world that everything was present and accounted for. I wasn't quite sure where to put my eyes. Keeping them closed or looking down were not good options in the parking lot. Neither was walking backwards. So now and again I was faced with watching her biscuits bobble into the store. The wake of people she left behind were giggling or covering their mouths, looking at me like I was her entourage. Friends asked me later if I said anything to her. I would then tell them a Little Billy joke: Little Billy came home with two black eyes. His Mom asked him what happened. "This lady on the bus had her dress stuck in her crack so I pulled it out and she hit me in the eye." "So what about the other one?" she asked. "I thought she wanted it there so I put it back." So no, I didn't say anything. I figured she'd be so embarrassed she'd probably hit me. And then I'd be wearing her embarrassment.
Seeing the reflection of the early sun on the ocean this morning, I noticed the illuminated path leads directly back to you. As if the universe is saying with a wink and a nod, "This day is for you".

Keep the Fire Going
Ideally, a marriage or a long-term relationship should last for years, even decades. Anytime a relationship lasts that long, it is bound to hit a few rough spots, some valleys between the peaks. But that doesn't mean you can't make also have a strong bond and hot fire burning between you!
Here are some tips to keeping the fires burning strong!
Stay connected with each other. We all have things in life that keep us very busy. Whether it is a job outside the home, working from the home, just keeping up with the household finances and chores and of course children are enough to keep a couple from having time or energy for an hot intimate life!
Some ideas to stay connected throughout the day are:
Send e-mails or text messages during the day, or make phone calls if possible. Make sure when you see each other at the end of the day that you stop what you are doing and take a few minutes to talk. Find out how each others' day went, the ups and downs and vents.
Schedule time for each other, yes schedule your intimate times! Silly as that sounds, it works!
Surprise your mate. Variety is the spice of life, right? Every now and then, do something unusual that he knows is against your usual patterns. If your partner loves bowling but you really do not care for it, then bite the bullet and suggest it one night. They will be touched that you made the effort, and you can still have a good time being together, even if the activity isn't your cup of tea. When you do this for each other, you start a pattern of compromises and sharing and you may even decide you like something you didn't before!
Keep the passion alive. Everyone jokes about how marriage is the cure for sex, and there's good reason. Within a few months, the passion usually dies down and couples fall into a rut: the same old sex in the same old positions at the same old times.
Unfortunately our busy lives can diminish our sex drive. Never "force" yourself to be intimate with each other, but do what you can to keep the mood alive.
Talk about it and try to create an atmosphere in your bedroom that is conducive to intimacy. Keep your bedroom clean of clutter and decorate it to reflect your personalities. Keep things of daily life out of the bedroom, such as the computer, don't sit in bed working on work on a laptop! Major mood killer.
Don't be afraid to use lotions, potions and other fun things to keep each other satisfied! There is nothing wrong with spicing things up with a little extra out of the ordinary fun!
Be positive. Criticizing or nagging are culprits of tearing down each others' self worth. When something is not quite right in the relationship, bring it up in a way that suggests calmness, rationality, and analysis. Don't say, "We need more money." Say, "What can we do to stretch our budget a bit further?"
If the car is broken down, again, don't say "The cheap bucket of bolts you bought is broken AGAIN!" There really is not much you can do at this point but to find a different car or fix the one you have, so tearing down your partner now only drives a wedge farther between you. When the issue is fixed is the time to sit down and discuss how to choose the next car or make a better decision.
Laugh and Have FUN. This can't be overstated. Laughter is the key to happiness in life. Be able to laugh at yourself, share that with your partner. If you're able to laugh at each other, it means you're able to affectionately tease and play together. (And I do not mean laughing at each others mistakes or failures either!) If you're laughing together at something else, it means you share a common sense of humor. It's a bonding experience.
Of course, men and women often laugh at different things. Find common ground of things you find funny and fun to do together. Find sitcom's you both like to watch, movies you both find fun and funny, etc.
Couples can drift apart over time without even realizing it is happening. Communication and compassion are so very important to keeping the drifting from happening to your relationship.
Let your love to each other be openly known as often as possible and always look on the positive side of things. Make your home a happy place for the two of you, a refuge from the world.

Author: Hillary Jordan
Genre: Dystopia
Subject: Religion, Feminism
Publisher: Algonquin Books
Release date: October 2011
Length: 344 pages
I got this book: Bought it
From Goodreads:
"I am red now. It was her first thought of the day, every day, surfacing after a few seconds of fogged, blessed ignorance and sweeping through her like a wave, breaking in her breast with a soundless roar. Hard on its heels came the second wave, crashing into the wreckage left by the first: he is gone.
Hannah Payne's life has been devoted to church and family. But after she's convicted of murder, she awakens to a nightmarish new life. She finds herself lying on a table in a bare room, covered only by a paper gown, with cameras broadcasting her every move to millions at home, for whom observing new Chromes—criminals whose skin color has been genetically altered to match the class of their crime—is a sinister form of entertainment. Hannah is a Red for the crime of murder. The victim, says the State of Texas, was her unborn child, and Hannah is determined to protect the identity of the father, a public figure with whom she shared a fierce and forbidden love.
A powerful reimagining of The Scarlet Letter, When She Woke is a timely fable about a stigmatized woman struggling to navigate an America of the not-too-distant future, where the line between church and state has been eradicated, and convicted felons are no longer imprisoned but chromed and released back into the population to survive as best they can. In seeking a path to safety in an alien and hostile world, Hannah unknowingly embarks on a journey of self-discovery that forces her to question the values she once held true and the righteousness of a country that politicizes faith and love."
Personal opinion:
The first thing that struck me about Hannah is how incredibly naive she was. She is supposed to be 26, but sounded more like someone who is 18. This is explanable because she was raised so sheltered and really didn't know much. But still I kept forgetting she was well into her adult years. Other than that I didn't have problems with Hannah as a character. She grew to be a strong person throughout the story and I liked to read about that progress. I was impressed by the way the various stages of the story were set and how I also get to know about Hannah's past without it being confusing. It is a strong story that has a nice balance between story wise events and character building. I would recommend this to people who want to dip into the dystopia genre for the first time, but it is also great for people who have read a lot in the genre already because it stays away from the usual dystopia cliches.

That's right, 5-Minute Friday, FMF, Lisa Jo's party where she invites one and all to come and plunk down words for 5 minutes on a specific theme. The rules are simple: write for 5 minutes, don't over think or edit, link up and then go encourage someone else by reading what they've written.
This deal is all about community and not about competition and it's just fun to do...so get to it! Today's prompt is:
It's already putting out to sea and it's only a few days. The cruise is a memory now that we will remember forever, I hope.
|On the CastawayCat from which we went snorkelling! (a whole story there)
It already seems surreal that we did that now that we're back in the middle of kids and schedules and parent/teacher interviews, planning and laundry and farming.
But remember? Oh yes, we will, because it was a life-giving moment in this season of crazy life. We were poured into like we haven't been. Poured into through the hands of the spa ladies and the kind words of elderly folks who shared their memories of life with us.
|Waiting for the sunset at El Moro in San Juan, Puerto Rico
Filled up with the beauty of creation and music that stirs your soul. I will never forget the blue of the Caribbean sea, the white, powder soft sand at Half Moon Cay. The site of the sunset on the horizon of glistening blue.
And the sweet moments that were just meant for us.
|Our first formal night - we had some beautiful pictures taken (not this one) with Maja, such a sweet girl.
Twenty years of making memories together was celebrated by this grand voyage. It has been such an adventure, an unforgettable one.
|Oh my, that sand!!

I think this is natural in a discussion board where sometimes people don't check for spelling before casual posting.
I am sorry if I am interfering. This post is not directed personally towards you or there is nothing personal regarding this. But bringing someone's profession into discussion about spelling mistakes seems to be offending.
That is the point.
Normaly when do we type in English, typing error occurs. Specially when we are in hurry. Further more English is the 2nd languageof most all of us here. So mistakes can happen. Simply private message option is more than enough to inform that person.But pointing out those things in a public forum to humiliate a person is really poor idea.

The Banting Research Foundation sponsored the 2016 Friesen Prize program, where Dr Janet Rossant was awarded the Henry G Friesen International Prize in Health Research.
Dr Rossant is a world-renowned expert in developmental biology. She is currently the President and Scientific Director of the Gairdner Foundation, and formerly was Chief of Research at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. In 2015 she was made a Companion of the Order of Canada for advancing the global understanding of embryo development and stem cell biology, and for her national and international leadership in health science. She received the 2015 Canada Gairdner Wightman Award for her outstanding scientific contributions to developmental biology and for her exceptional international leadership in stem cell biology and policy-making, and in advancing research programs for children's illnesses.
Early in her research career, Dr Rossant received a Banting Research Foundation grant to support her work in the role of genes in embryo development. She credits the early support of the Foundation in setting her course toward later outstanding accomplishments and awards.
The Friesen Prize, established in 2005 by the Friends of Canadian Institutes of Health Research (FCIHR) recognizes exceptional innovation by a visionary health leader of international stature.
