It's a beautiful morning. Let's go for a little walk through my garden.
We recycled the fencing from another area on the property where we no longer needed it. It's six feet high to dissuade deer from jumping in. The deer here would be able to jump over the fencing if they chose to, but would have a difficult time getting out. The lower area of the fencing is much tighter mesh, in hopes of keeping other small critters out.
The beds are all raised, and I've been experimenting with how tightly I can plant each one. I've read that plants can be grown more closely in raised beds, so I'm learning what works and what doesn't.
I had originally planned on using hazelnut shells from my neighbor for the walkway mulch, but ended up scrapping that plan due to worry that my nieces and nephews who are highly allergic to nuts would be affected be the shells. Instead, I used a surplus of cedar bark fines from the flower beds around the house. It has worked out really nicely, as the bark is really thick and has held the weeds at bay.
There's a lot of room between each bed, which allows for lots of children in the garden, which I love. And it looks really pretty. Since we have plenty of space, it was a no-brainer for me.
I'm growing Thai Basil, Basil, Cilantro, Italian Flat-Leaf Parsley and Dill. Today I'll be cutting all of them down, chopping them up in my food processor, adding a little olive oil, and freezing each batch into chunks for use through the winter. The frozen herbs are so much more delicious than dried.
The Spaghetti Squash has been growing like gangbusters. I baked one up last night, tossed it with butter and a little salt, and it was delicious. I grew up eating it this way and it always reminds me of gardening as a little girl. My first garden was a mass of succulents in a miniature wheelbarrow. Anyway, when I served the boys their Spaghetti Squash, they looked at me with those eyes that say, "are you really going to make me eat this?" And of course, one of them almost threw it up. Our rule is that the boys always need to try everything that's served to them. They don't have to eat it all. We've found that by opening their palates to new tastes, they slowly learn to enjoy it.
Corn hair is so beautiful and it reminds me of Jenny Holiday. Jenny, I think I'm going to name my corn after you. :)
Each of the beds are watered by a drip system. I can adjust each bed to water more or less, depending on the needs of the plants. I've had gardens that I've watered by hand, watered by overhead sprinklers, and by drip. I've found that plants really don't like being watered overhead and respond far better with the drip system. The result is a much more bountiful garden harvest.
I can easily detach the lines at the end of the season, when I go to clean out each bed.
The cabbage is coming along nicely. I really need to thin it out.
No garden is complete without a compost bin. I just kept one of my beds open for that purpose. And I can say that I am not a super serious scientific composter. We simple dump our compost and garden clippings in the bin, turn it once in a while, occasionally add a bit of water, and eventually, it produces beautiful soil. We're in no hurry.
Do you see the wire mesh in the box on the bottom left-hand corner? We lined each and every bed with that mesh, in hopes of keeping out any ground squirrels or moles. The ground squirrels were so invasive in my last garden that I was unable to grown any lettuce, cabbage, or broccoli, which they love. So far, we've had no issues.
Well, that's all for now. I'm off to do a few new plantings and to thin the cabbage.

Daily Interdimensional Diary:
02 October 2008
In this moment, there exists both physical manifested mind-demons and interdimensional demons.
Interdimensional demons:
Have the ability to move within and through all physical human bodies and are not 'claimed' by one singular physical human body alone, so they move within and through various human physical bodies – directing primarily the 'emotional and feeling, thought and memory' embodiment of the being as the mind within the physical.
Physical demons:
Exists as the physical-manifested mind-systems and –constructs. The constructs and systems that are completely/entirely amalgamated and infused in and as the physical as which you actually live/exist – the absolute manifestation of you as the mind that can been seen within mannerism/behaviour within the 'way you speak/act and present yourself' physically in this world. Physical demons direct the physical-manifested mind-systems and –constructs of and as you.
Therefore, basically – the entire mind consciousness system as which you exist that has become the physical manifest, exists as demon-expressions – that are in absolute presence and awareness – assisting and supporting human beings in the most unexpected of ways – lol.
The practical function of Interdimensional and physical demons:
Interdimensional demons, exists as the emotions, feelings and thoughts, memories of the mind consciousness system – and that which is the 'source-essence' of the mind consciousness system as 'energy'. Thus, Interdimensional demons exist as the 'essence' and 'substance' of the mind consciousness system and the Physical demons exists as the manifested structure of the mind consciousness system.
Within the interdimensional demons as their very being/expression standing as emotions/feelings/thoughts/memories/energy of and as the mind consciousness system as you – they are able to compound and intensify the innermost suppressed and hidden constructs and systems of mind that you exist as and participate within.
Within the compounding and intensifying – each human beings' process is 'short-circuited', as emotions/feelings and memories/thoughts exist within the unified consciousness field space-time design that originate from within and of the mind itself.
Therefore – the most participated within emotions/feelings of thoughts/memories that eventually design/manifest constructs and system of minds that develop and is created within the physical – would only manifest over an extended period of time within which you enslave yourself 'gradually' and 'eventually' over space-time 'live out' and experience physically and so design events/occurrences within and as your reality.
Thus Space and Time – another method within which human beings were enslaved to the mind as the mind, that constructs and systems manifested within the physical – which design/create events/experiences within your world through constant participation in particular specific thoughts, memories, feelings, emotions and pictures – would only manifest years, even lifetimes after the initial system/construct integration in the physical that is you through the mind. Therefore – human beings not realising/aware – that they are individually responsible for the life they lead as it exists and their experience of themselves within and as it and occurrences/situations/experiences that manifest, seemingly unexpectedly – but was actually created/designed years ago/even lifetimes ago – through within and as direct participation / constant participation in particular specific thoughts, memories, feelings, emotions and pictures.
The space-time design – causing human beings not to 'remember' how they actually exactly directly and actively designed occurrences/situations/experiences within their reality that directly influence them in all ways imaginable – such as car-accidents, deaths of family/friends, breaking bones, relationships falling, losing money, being without money...and the list goes on.
This is the function of the interdimensional demons – to 'fold space-time' so to speak through intensifying/compounding, so that what you accept and allow yourself to participate within constantly as particular/specific thoughts, memories, emotions and feelings that design/manifest specific constructs/systems in the physical related to the thoughts/feelings/memories/emotions/pictures, which you from there actually 'live as you' and in this 'living' create and design your reality accordingly and also your experience within it, affecting/influencing yourself and others as yourself – all this to manifest instantaneously within you and your world – and not to manifest only over and within the 'space-time continuum' of years/lifetimes.
Now – within the physical-manifestation of constructs/systems designed/created by you, through constant participation in particular specific emotions/feelings/thoughts/pictures/memories = this is where the physical demons come in to 'play'/the 'scene' – lol.
So, you have the interdimensional demons, compounding and intensifying the emotions/feelings/thoughts/pictures/memories and your participation and experience within it through, within and as the energy/charges involved within/during this process – the physical demons then in turn compound and intensify the design/creation and integration/manifestation of systems and constructs created by/through the beings participation in emotions/feelings/thoughts/pictures/memories of mind – which then in turn – manifest within and as your reality instantly/over a shorter period of 'time' so to speak.
This done:
Firstly: So that human beings can actually see/realise for themselves within direct actual experience – that each one is actually manifesting/creating their experience of themselves both within and without – through constant continuous accepted and allowed participation in all and everything as that which the mind consist of and exist as – and how such accepted and allowed participation – is influencing and affecting themselves and all other beings within their world as themselves and this world in its entirety.
Secondly: So that human beings can directly face themselves – directly for themselves, by themselves – see/realise what they have become as the actual physical manifested truth of themselves as how they are accepting and allowing themselves to exist and as what they are accepting and allowing themselves to exist.
Because within both these points discussed – the being cannot hide/deny themselves as the physical manifested truth of themselves – because they are actually physically directly experiencing themselves 'for real' – themselves as their real reality as the mind, that has become the mind – no more only exist in the confinements of the head-region as an idea/imaginative-reality – the actual reality that exists that the mind represent – that each being has become – is now manifesting in actuality here in and as the physical – to be faced directly through actual experience(s) and stopped.
Therefore, instead of walking a billion year process to sort out the billion year fuck-up of the past that has brought us to where and how and as what we exist as in the moment at this moment as this moment here – that we have directly created by ourselves as ourselves – the interdimensional demons and physical demons that is ourselves that is compounding the entire mind consciousness system that has become ourselves, that is ourselves – we short-circuit this process for all as one as equal as ourselves.
An example to assist in giving a practical perspective of the function of the interdimensional and physical demons as discussed above – to but 'show' you how they'd operate:
Let's say you have a being that is in relationship with a partner, and this particular being's dreams and wishes of being in a 'perfect-relationship' as what has always been dreamed and wished for to be experienced with his/her perfect partner – has come true.
To 'balance' the polarity created/designed by this being – from doing anything/everything possible to have been able to 'get' and 'have' this relationship, of being the owner of a 'proud-relationship' – fear of loss exists, fear of losing that which has been 'gotten', that which this being now 'have' and 'own', that which has been so worked hard for, that which has been dreamed of, wished for and hoped for, for so long.
Thus, certain thoughts that reflect 'fear of loss' arise within the being, such as for example: 'What if my partner leaves me for another' or 'what if my partner cheats on me' – due to the being's own lack/insufficiency of self-worth and self acceptance which manifest comparison within the 'not being good-enough' construct.
Now – the particular emotion as 'fear of loss' together with the specific thought that pertain to and reflect the emotion of/as fear of loss as for example 'what if my partner leaves me for another' – is compounded and intensified within the being through and as the interdimensional demon that will stand as the being's emotion/thought.
Within this compounding/intensifying of this particular emotion and thought the being has accepted and allowed themselves to participate within – the being almost immediately start 'living this fear of loss as themselves' – in all that they do within their world – changing/transforming themselves in such a way as to ensure that they do not lose their partner.
Within the living of themselves as this fear – this is when the emotion/thought manifest a system/construct in and as the physical of the being as the being – thus why, thus the reason why the being actually starts existing and living as this fear as themselves, caused by but one thought generating an emotion – seen within how they'd change the presentation/behaviour of themselves in and as everything that they do and this is where the physical-demons come in – as they 'quicken' the pace of the thought/emotion to creation/design into and as a system/construct that manifest in and as the physical – which the being 'live out' actively in expression to/towards the being(s).
Because the moment a construct/system designed/created of participation in particular/specific thoughts/emotions/feelings manifest as you in the physical which you 'actively live out' – it will manifest in and as your physical reality one and equal – as experiences/events that take place.
Thus, what will happen – is the being will 'lose' their partner to another being – they have created it, they have manifested it and designed the event to occur – because they actually physically, actively lived as an accepted and allowed fear of loss construct/system, that manifested as themselves through constantly and continuously participating within such a 'fear of loss' – as defining themselves as the emotion of fear and the thought within which they participated within as 'what if my partner leaves me for another'.
Therefore, the interdimensional demon, will compound/intensify the emotion/thought to such an extent that it becomes really distinct – that the being actually really knows that they are participating in this emotion/thought – and actually experiencing this participation in this emotion/thought through actually knowing that they are deliberately changing themselves in an attempt to prevent the inevitable.
In this compounding/intensifying of thought/emotion – the being will 'change' themselves 'faster' and will so much faster start living the 'change' because they have become the manifested fear of loss, because of their constant continuous participation in the thought and emotion.
The physical-demon will then 'quicken' this change – wherein the thought/emotion transform into a manifested system/construct in and as the physical, which 'support' the change of the being into and as their existence of fear of loss ,as fear of loss, and the being start living this fear of loss as themselves.
Within the living of themselves as fear of loss – they become the living expression as fear of loss – which will then manifest in their physical-reality to be experienced.
And so the being will lose their partner almost before the relationship even started – instead of years and years after the relationship started – within which the emotion/thought would've only in space-time manifest as a construct/system lived as the being as fear of loss – within which the event would've only taken place 'then' – instead of almost immediately.
And if the being doesn't see – the same event will take place over/over/over/over again – until they stop and question themselves or leave this reality/this world to transcend in the interdimensional existence to come back and face the point again.
Understand, this is but a simple example – to merely illustrate the practicality of the interdimensional demon and the physical demon as the manifested mind consciousness system each being has become – to give perspective of what we discussed above. The events/experiences to manifest in being's lives is much more 'intense' / 'specific' than this example with regards to 'relationships'.
So – there is a rough 'time' ahead for each one of this world – for all equally and one – as each one walk through their individual processes alone – to face the physical-manifested self-created mind-reality that each one has become through direct participation and this directly responsible for – through, within and as direct actual physical experiences in this world.
Each one has got the tools – live them and walk here in every moment of breath – as you walk through yourself – to stand up as who you really are here.

The Sphinxs & The Gories!
So I made it out to a couple of shows last week -- the first was last Tuesday, the début performance of sometime No No Zero chanteuse Siân Llewelyn's new band The Sphinxs (with Chris Cheeseman, also of No No Zero, on guitar), playing at Parts & Labour in Toronto. Less straight-up soul/garage than her previous band The Bang Bangs, The Sphinxs brought a walloping energy and diversity of style to their impressive set - one I was unexpectedly hooked into playing a bit of theremin for at the last minute, I might add.
I missed The Modern Superstitions because I was outside during their set, no offense to them. Headlining the bill was Chicago's The Hollows, who really blew me away with their loud old time RnR sound and three (four?) part vocals. I thoroughly dug them, what can I say? Fun live band. I will go see them again if I get the chance.
Friday night, blog favourites Catl opened for Detroit legends The Gories at Lee's Palace and, against all odds, I made it out to that one as well and a fun night out it was too. Catl charmed another crowd in their usual forthright manner, looking slightly odd actually being on a stage for a change. I was particularly struck by new song "Hold My Body Down" and Sarah K's standout performance on same.
The Gories played a great set: relaxed and loose but with groove and energy. Danny was the band mouthpiece and seemed like he was genuinely having a fun time. It was The Gories' first-ever Toronto show and the crowd was fully into it. They played all my faves, did an encore of "Hidden Charms" and "Nitroglycerine", and I left feeling exhausted and happy.

Residents indignant over killing of mallard
Residents in the area of Stony Point and Huth roads were shocked and angered last Thursday evening when a male mallard duck, one of a pair of annual nesters in the area, was deliberately shot in the head with a pellet gun (or similar weapon) and killed.
The arrival of the mallards has been an annual affair, looked forward to by parents and children alike. For three or four years, the pair of colorful waterfowl have nested in the vicinity and raised their young to the delight of the neighborhood. ... Obviously, the wild birds felt comfortable in the company of the human community. In abridging that mutual trust, the ill-advised hunter has earned the scorn of his community.
According to reports, his excuse was that he believed the duck was injured and therefore shot it. No one else in the neighborhood seems to accept that explanation as fact. ... The matter has been reported to the conservation office and it is expected that he will pursue the enforcement of the law in this case.

'It's Academic' in doubt till final second
A down-to-the-wire playoff round in the "It's Academic" series will be broadcast Sunday at noon on Channel 4. Depew, Canisius and, of course, Grand Island, are the contenders in this April 29 broadcast session.
Competition went "right down to the last second" according to Dr. Herbert Sullivan, curriculum director at the high school, as the teams went down to a tension-filled conclusion right at the buzzer. Grand Island's team members are junior Ed Baldwin (captain), and seniors Marie Garten and Sue Rockwell.

Islanders advised to check insurance
Although all seems quiet regarding the Seneca lawsuit to claim Grand Island, property-owning residents are being advised to buy more title insurance.
Because of the Seneca land claim, homeowners trying to sell property cannot legally prove they have a "free and clear title," according to local attorneys. But fee title insurance insures the entire value of the house against the Seneca claim, attorney Ronald A. Sipos says.
Cost of the one-time premium for an owner's policy is about $630 for a $100,000 house, attorney Kevin Kinney estimates. ...
Despite the Indian lawsuit and need for property owners to consider buying the additional title insurance, at least one developer has found it no deterrent in selling land, claiming sales of lots this spring have met expectations "and then some."

School district receives achievement results
Just as students receive report cards, so do school districts, and Tuesday's Grand Island Board of Education meeting was the district's opportunity to present its achievement results to the public.
"We're doing exceedingly well at the middle school level in all areas, English language arts, math and science in particular," said Dr. Karen S. Karmazin, assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction in the Grand Island School District. "And that's very unusual relative to the national trends in middle schools as well as local schools, so our results are quite competitive." ...

Lately I've been working on being more flexible. I don't mean just being flexible in a physical sense, although as the years go by I find that moving my body more is a must if I want to maintain my quality of life. What I mean is that I really thought that, as I traveled along on my spiritual journey these last 25 years or so, I had finally gotten rid of all those limiting beliefs and negative self-talk that had kept me so rigid and unhappy for most of my life. However, I find that I am one of those people who can easily exchange one limiting belief for another without even knowing it and before you can say, "but I have to," I am stuck right back in old habits.
I have always been someone who believes that if someone I admire, like a meditation teacher, or a favorite author, says that I should do something a certain way, I blindly accept that they probably know better than I do (or they wouldn't be my favorites, right?) so I should do it the way they suggest. When someone says something that "rings true" for me, I automatically accept it as gospel. For example, I am a follower of the meditation teacher Davidji. He tells us that we should meditate first thing in the morning upon rising. Most days I can do this, but when my granddaughter comes to spend the weekend, or an early morning appointment comes up and I have to skip it, I admonish myself all day. I feel out of sorts and verbally beat myself up with things like, "well, you could have gotten up earlier and done it before she woke up, or before you had breakfast." The same is true with my writing. For years I firmly believed that I had to write in the morning because all of the so-called experts, many of whom have truly helped my writing, insisted that writing first thing and setting a firm writing time was the only way I would get anything done (so do I meditate first and then write, or vice versa, and do I really have to get something done every day?).
What I did not stop to think about was that the only expert I should be taking advice from is me. I am the expert when it comes to what works for me and what doesn't. I should be ringing my own bell. Right now we are coming into my very favorite time of the year and I am blessed to be living in an area where I can experience it in all of its glory. Maybe I'd like to meditate during a morning walk, or after I get back from it - and isn't walking a form of meditation, after all? Maybe on days where the outdoors calls to me, I can work at my desk in the afternoon and use the morning to spiritually feed my muse? And maybe, just maybe, I don't have to do anything at all except only those things that make me happy and allows me to be the greatest idea of myself that I can be in that moment. Wouldn't my spirit, mind, body and muse benefit more from my being in a state of happiness and gratitude that only I am responsible for rather than someone who doesn't even know me and what my life is about?
The bottom line here is that we need to learn to trust ourselves more. We know what makes us happy. We know what feeds our soul. We know what rings our bell. We just have to learn to ring it more often.
And so it is.

Plasmonic Coupling in Three-Dimensional Au Nanoparticle Assemblies Fabricated by Anodic Aluminum Oxide Templates

2Department of Mechanical Engineering, Kyung Hee University, Yongin 446-701, Republic of Korea

We investigated optical properties of three-dimensional (3D) assemblies of Au nanoparticles (NPs), which were fabricated by dewetting of thin Au layers on anodic aluminum oxides (AAO). The NP assembly had hexagonal array of repeated multiparticle structures, which consisted of six trimers on the AAO surface and one large NP in the AAO pore (pore-NP). We performed finite-difference time-domain simulation to explain the optical response of the NP assemblies and compared the calculation results with experimental data. Such complementary studies clearly revealed how the plasmonic coupling between the constituent NPs influenced the spectral response of our NP assemblies. In particular, comparison of the assemblies with and without pore-NPs suggested that strong plasmonic coupling between trimers and pore-NP significantly affected the spectra and the field distribution of the NP assemblies. Plasmonic multi-NP assemblies could provide us new platforms to realize novel optoelectronic devices.

Chevrolet Volt MPV5 concept – Click above for high-res image gallery
While Chrysler has failed to find a way to update or replace the retro-styled PT Cruiser, we can definitely see this as a forthcoming replacement to the Chevrolet HHR. The Volt MPV5 is slightly larger than HHR, but fills a similar market niche. While Chevrolet hasn't announced a firm production commitment, it wouldn't be surprising to see the MPV5 built in both conventional and ER-EV forms to help jack up GM's light truck CAFE numbers. The roomy interior will likely find a bigger audience than the smaller Volt while still yielding a 32-mile electric range and, if we had to guess, we'd see the Orlando-inspired plug-in EV hit the market by 2013.

Look, I know what you're thinking:
Soundgarden? I thought this here blog was all about metal, is this a joke?
Hold on, hold on. Let me explain. Like my other "metal archeology" posts, the point of this piece (calling it a "piece" and not a "post" makes me feel like a journalist) is not the actual item pictured above. Oh no. The point of it are the stories about the time and place of when this item came into my life. Again, I'm merely sharing the memories that having found this item brought back. I found this CD at my brother's apartment, and was instantly taken back to another time and place. So, let's all gather around on the magic, story-time rug as I tell another one of my long-winded tales. One of you can sit on my lap (ideally a thin female, and not a fat beardo)...it's story time with uncle Lucho!
The year was 1991, and my brother and I lived in sunny Miami Florida. Death metal was blowing up, and we were close to ground-zero. Extreme metal was in the air, you could smell it...and because we were in Florida, it smelled a bit like old retired people, and salt water. It was a grand time to be involved in metal. Within a matter of about a year, my taste in metal had quickly escalated from Slayer to Napalm Death. Metallica had died, musically speaking, and I had to look for another musical home (so to speak) to live in. Imagine coming home from school as a kid, and seeing your house burn down. What are you gonna do? You just turn around and look for some other place to live, I guess. That's how I felt back then when I saw the world premiere of the Enter Sandman video, and in retrospect I feel like a huge douchebag for having put that much thought into Metallica's musical output. I mean, the members of the band sure didn't put that much thought or effort into it...so why did I? I'm not sure...but I was a kid, and music meant the world to me. Kirk had grown a mustache, Jason had shaved the sides of his hair, and James had somehow become a midwestern redneck. I was confused, and chose to look elsewhere for musical entertainment.
I first heard Napalm Death's Peel Sessions tape in 1989, when I dubbed it from my friends copy. At first, I didn't know what to make of it and seldom listened to it. As the bands I once regarded as being important in my life began to wither away, I turned to that Napalm Death tape for all life's answers. Sadly, all the answers I got from that tape were short, badly produced, and contained lyrical content with the kind of depth you'd expect from a sixth grade writing assignment. Nevertheless, it was a direction...a path. You see, In 1991 Nirvana became the most important thing to lots of people in this country. Since I went to a school that was about 99% latino and black, there were very few white kids around. As a result, most of the student population around me didn't know anything about Nirvana, and were actually more excited about Ice Cube's "Death Certificate" and "AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted", as well as the first Cypress Hill album (which in retrospect are all good albums, even if Cypress Hill turned out to be douches in the long run, and Ice Cube turned out to have a softer side.) Still, grunge was somewhat in the air, even in Southwest Miami. Along with grunge, a subtle scent of Metallica could be detected in the air. In case you're wondering, a "subtle scent of Metallica" smells like, allow me to explain. The scent that was detectable had a hint of the greasy smell that naturally comes from Kirk's slightly hairy upper lip. Along with that smell, simply add the stench that comes from Lars' huge, untrimmed pubic bush (see below). That's the smell I'm talking about.
I think it was around that point in my life, more than likely as a result of Metallica becoming so popular, that I started to have a general kneejerk reaction against ANYTHING that was well known by the masses. Like a jilted lover, Metallica had left me...and I took it out on everyone and everything around me. I had been a bit more understanding of pop culture and music before, but it all stopped around that year. If it was on the radio, it was bad. If it was on TV, it was bad. This kind of childish outlook on the world lasted for about two years, until I began to enjoy other forms of music and I finally began to let things go. Like a bad cold, however, this view of the world kept coming back from time to time throughout my twenties in different iterations. Seeing the world in such a black and white manner is attractive, as it lays things out rather nicely. How sad. It's perhaps for this reason that I find it so amusing to see metal fans and punk rockers in their thirties or forties still hold on to that belief system. Popular is bad, unknown is good. TV is always bad, by the way...but movies are good. Go figure. Hmm. But I'm getting off topic once again. Way off topic.
It was during that time that the infamous Metallica/Guns N Roses/Soundgarden tour came to the Orange Bowl. That poor stadium, I'm sure the Orange Bowl never saw sucking that bad until the 2007 Dolphins season. Even then, I doubt that a 1-15 record could compare to "November Rain" AND "The Unforgiven" being played in one venue, all in one night. Ouch. So, although we thought Metallica pretty much sucked by then (and had always hated Guns N Roses, since we weren't posers), we went to our local Sears, which was located by the Dadeland mall. There, we attempted to buy tickets for the show, since Sears was a Ticketmaster outlet. We wanted to get tickets for my brother and his girlfriend (who owned a cool Testament tshirt), our friend Aaron and me. Quick side story about Aaron, a guy who deserves an entire post on this blog. Aaron was a huge Danzig fan. Oddly enough, Danzig is huge himself these days.
Aaron was from the Dominican Republic (or was it Puerto Rico?), and was black. He apparently didn't know he was black, and commonly made racist remarks. My brother would often say "hey, that's not cool to say...and you're black by the way!" He would get extremely angry when my brother told him he was black, which he most certainly was. There would be absolutely no doubt in anyone's mind, believe me. Anyway, Aaron was way into Wolverine, and comic books in general. It didn't dawn on me until recently that the character Wolverine is supposed to be very short...and that lots of stupid short guys love him for that reason. Did you know that there are actually some Wolverine fans who are angry that the character is being played by Hugh Jackman who is " too tall"? Even as a short man myself, I get severe douche-chills just thinking about anyone giving a rats ass about this...but many do. So, short dudes like Glenn Danzig and Aaron are big fans of Wolverine because he was short and powerful or something. I hate comic books, so my knowledge about the subject ends there. Aaron had stupid Wolverine sideburns, wore a huge Danzig pendant, and loved the tiny man from New Jersey (no, I'm not talking about fellow MI staffer Mr. Gene Hoglan's Balls.) Perhaps the greatest story about Aaron is that he once came into a class he had with my brother in High School and loudly yelled out the following to my brother, as he entered the room:
"Good news! My mom is letting me relax my hair!"
This of course, was as a result of him not being able to have flowing locks, like his hero Glenn Danzig. Now I must ask you...how on earth do you not realize that you are black when you have to relax your hair in order to have a Danzig-like mane? I know many people identify with their nationality, rather than race (as a Latino I'm well awere of this) but this kid was a trip. I hereby urge my brother to write about our dear friend Aaron.
Where was I? Oh yes...so we went to Sears to buy tickets for the Metallica show. By the time we got to the counter, the guy said there was one ticket left. Just one. We didn't get it, and were bummed, while at the same time knowing that we all kinda' hated Metallica by that point. Still, I had never seen Metallica...and thought I should see them once. It's like going to see the grandmother you never knew about in the old folks home. It's a bit of a bummer, you know? We left Sears a bit down, and probably headed over to Y&T records, to drown our miseries away through metal consumerism. I'm sure I bought a Broken Hope cassette, and all was forgotten.
As the months passed, we forgot about the show. More and more posers were listening to Metallica by then, and we figured that not going to the show was the more metal thing to do anyway. Around that time, Headbanger's Ball began to play the video for the Soundgarden song "Jesus Christ Pose", and I was mildly entertained by it. It was no Obituary, but it was certainly better than the Firehouse videos they were playing well into 1992. Shortly before the Metallica/Guns N Roses concert happened, we found out that Soundgarden (the opening band) would be doing an in-store appearance at Y&T Records on the day of the show, and we decided to go. They weren't a favorite band of ours, we actually didn't even own one of their records...but we went anyway. We went to that store about once a week anyway, so it gave us an excuse to go again. On the day of their signing, my brother, his friend Eric and I went. Eric was a very fat guy, who proudly rocked an awful teenage mustache, and had hygiene habits that were questionable at best. My brother was good friend's with him, and he once gave him a handwritten transcription of the full lyrics to Gwar's "Slaughterama" (including all the talking parts). It was like three pages long. He's another character that deserves an entire post. His mustache was thin, thus Kirk-like and gross, and yet his saliva was as thick as Elmer's glue on a cold day. Eric's brother was friends with Malevolent Creation, and had lots of VHS tapes of entire episodes of Headbanger's Ball dating back to when Adam Curry hosted the show. His brother, I should also mention, had this awful pair of sweatpants that was covered in skeletons having sex in different positions. Talk about depressing. By the way, I tried to find a picture of such sweat pants, but was unable to find any. I mean, what should I look for on Google "extremely depressing, awful sweatpants"? I don't even know where to begin.
But back to the story, I apologize for continuously getting sidetracked. I remember waiting in line at the signing, and realizing I had nothing to get signed. The line was short, maybe ten to twenty people or so. Luckily, the label was giving away free promo CDs, so we each took one and got the one you see above signed. Since we were the last people there to get something signed, the guys in the band stood up, and started looking around the record store along with us once they signed our stuff. I remember looking at the death metal vinyl, standing side by side with Chris Cornell. As we were standing there flipping through Revenant records, a store employee told the guys in Soundgarden that they could each pick a shirt from the wall, as a thank you from the store. Still standing next to me, Chris Cornell looked at the wall-o-shirts, trying to make up his mind. He turned to me and asked:
"What do you think, Black Sabbath or Slayer?"
I told him to go with Slayer, and he did. It was a horrible shirt, which had all-over print...that awful trend of oversized screening from the early 90s that thankfully never really took off. It was like an alternate t-shirt format, much like VHS and Beta or Blueray and HD-DVD. The format failed, because Blue Grape Merchandise didn't really get behind it. They were heavily investing in hockey jerseys at the time. At least that's how I remember things. Perhaps Guav can give us more info, since he's our industry insider. Back to the actual shirt though, I always wondered if Chris Cornell wore the shirt that night at the show, in front of a packed stadium. Maybe he did. I remember seeing him about a year later on MTV, wearing what I believed to be this very shirt under a jacket. I would be lying to you if I didn't admit that back then it made my day.
A few years go by, and Soundgarden become huge. I was at the end of my High School education, and I suddenly found the extra copy of the promo CD that my brother and I had. We had each gotten one that day, but only got one signed. Without even thinking about it, I took a Sharpie marker, and copied the signatures from the one we got signed, to the unsigned one. My forging abilities were not great, but good enough. I even took care and used a red Sharpie to duplicate Chris Cornell's signature, (since he signed the real one in red) as though it mattered. I took the CD to school, and told the kids at my lunch table the very story you just read. Upon finishing the story, I brought out the CD, and asked who wanted to buy it. Some kid I barely knew, who was way into Infectious Grooves, bought it from me. I think he paid me about twenty dollars. I hope he enjoyed the hell out of his fake Soundgarden signatures. I know I enjoyed his twenty bucks.

Salaried members: Anti-Avoidance: Connected party finance
The TAAR may apply if the loan comes from the firm itself, a party connected to the firm, or another member of the firm.
The LLP is a flexible business model, so whether the parties are connected needs to be based on a realistic view of the facts of that case.
This example looks at where a party connected to the LLP provides a loan
The USO LLC operates in the UK through UKB LLP. Individual T is appointed a member of the UKB LLP. It is agreed that T will introduce a sum as capital.
USO LLC provides a loan to T to enable him to contribute the agreed sum of capital.
In this example, the parent body of the LLP provides a loan to an individual which they then introduce as capital. On the facts the TAAR will apply.

Two deserving labels are Highly Commended in 2013's Designer of the Year category
Posted: 12 June 2013
by Catherine Hudson
Paul Smith's world is fun-loving, out of the ordinary and teaming with ideas, all made right here in Old Blighty.
A keen sense of detail is seen in extraordinary linings, multi-coloured stripes (emblematic of the brand), humerous prints on t-shirts and colourful buttons. Key pieces are inspired by the adults' collections but redesigned in sizes and styles more suitable for a child's sense of imagination.
Paul Smith Junior was also Highly Commended in the Boys' Designer Fashion 2013 category

Ryan Miller is back to being, well, Ryan Miller.
Miller was pretty dang upset when his friend and man-at-arms on ice, Paul Gaustad, was dealt at the trade deadline.
No matter the way you view hockey, you have to understand how important players like Paul can be and how long it takes to develop a guy that plays that way at such a high level. Winning those faceoffs is not easy. Killing those penalties is not easy. Not a lot of guys are willing to do that job every night, and he was.
Oh, and he also said that if he was GM, that trade would not have gone down. A lot of folks in this town took Miller's comments as a coup on Darcy Regier, but really, it was just Ryan Miller being Ryan Miller – exactly where/who the Sabres need him to be.
You might remember that Miller reacted much the same when Tim Connolly was lost up the QEW to the rival Maple Leafs. Connolly was no Gaustad, but he was a piece of the core – he was one of Miller's guys.
And Miller stands up for his own.
Lately, Miller has been doing the same standing up for his own, just not so much in the locker room, but between the pipes. Nothing is upsetting him there, not these days. Lindy Ruff has finally been able to "ride Miller down the stretch" as he promised to do, and Ryan is putting in the best performances of the year – right in line with the best of his career.
He's now got 82 saves in two consecutive shutouts – some of them routine, a good bunch of them brilliant, and many of them simply stupefying.
And he's brought the Sabres along with him, as usual, into legitimate playoff contention. Today they sit just four points – just two games – out of 8th in the East.
His focus is the Sabres' focus: win the moment. Win every moment. Every shift. Every period. Every game. It's been a long road back to legitimacy, from the first mention of #SeedsOfGreatness, which then became the #Crapshoot, and now seems to be moving back into #SeedsOfGreatness territory again. The way the Sabres are playing, it sure looks like those seeds were indeed planted a few weeks back, and here they are finally, actually sprouting. And what better place to see them bloom, than in Ryan Miller?
He's the backbone of the team afterall, and now that he's willing and more than able to carry it along with him, the top 8, and everything else, is possible.
Strip away all the commentary, all the analysis, all the playoff statistical probabilities, all the quotes, the articles, and the blog posts, and you've got here has now become pretty clear: a pretty darn strong team, peaking at just the right time, holding fast together during their upwards climb over their Eastern Conference rivals.
It would seem desperate times, and it is. But for Miller and the Sabres, desperation has given way to an heroic focus on winning the moment. A focus whose ultimate moment of convergence – hopefully – will exact itself in the playoffs.
Pretty dramatic stuff. Pretty unbelievable, really, seeing how most of this season has gone.
But none of this should be surprising.
It's just Miller being Miller, after all.
Let's keep this thing going, boys.
Go Sabres.
Be sure to check in with Store716 today – their "Miller 'Verse 30′" shirt is on sale for 15 bucks until he gives up a goal. Goodtimes.

I should have a post card or photo for that nostalgic hiccup but I don't so I'll share this Still Life With Produce moment from Niki and Tony's house where we arrived moments later.
My sister and Tony's home was cozy and inviting. More than ever their little abode was busting at the seems with life, beauty and many projects. The little guys production station....only my sister can make such a pretty mess.
Tony's strawberries. Check out the awesome container garden in the back of the house.
Saturday night we (they) had a dinner party made especially sweet by the effortless pairing of lovely people and good food. Smartly organized as a potluck Tony made mashed yams and potatoes then baked with parmesan and bread crumbs, a garden salad from his actual garden and rubarb juice for mixed drinks. He also made, more delicious bread, of course, and peppered the table with pickled condiments from his summer stock. His sister (my sister, we are family) Bridget, my cancer cohort, made collard greens (yes also from the gard... you get it) stewed with onions. I made nothing. Niki made the place warm with candles and set things right. Dusty and Brody made things hairy and extremely charming.
The table was expanded all evening by the chef's and foodies that attendended, every bite a starchy delight thankfully, and we completed the feast with Mission Pies and ice cream around a pit fire in the garden.
And oh, you don't even know the heaven I'm in. Tony has been canning~!
I have bread and butter pickles, white vinegar pickles, cherries, strawberry lemon jam (yes, sooooo good), strawberry rubarb jam, pickled onions and more and more. You wish you you knew. Really.
The bread and butter pickles have a flavor like cornichons and they are excellent chopped up into an egg salad.
Tony lamented that he's not sure what one does with pickled onions and I'll admit right here mostly I just eat them out of the jar with my fingers but I also topped my carrot soup with them, layered them into a quesadilla with smoked tomato salsa and added them to my beet and corn salad last night.

Sometimes a girl is so irresistible; a single ejaculation will not suffice. That's the story in dirty director Mike Adriano's "She Made Me Cum Twice" compilation: The tireless stud shoots two or even three loads of hot cream in or on each ball-draining beauty. Buxom, trash-talking Abigail Mac gags deep-throating Mike's thick throbber and tongues his bunghole. A fucking frenzy makes him cum three times! Adorable, 19-year-old Liza Rowe takes an enema and expels the slop into a glass. Butt slathered in lube, the braces-wearing cutie rides rod to a squirting orgasm; Mike loses his load three times! Anal reaming makes irrepressible Kristina Rose's butthole gape and fart lewdly. She gets Mike off twice. Sassy, young Latina Veronica Rodriguez' booty bounces as she's porked, and she squirts girl cum. Mike spurts semen in her pretty mouth three times! Petite blonde Angel Smalls slides her rectum over Mike's meat and devours dick ass-to-mouth. She rims his ass and makes him climax twice. Spunky blonde Sarah Vandella spanks and fondles her pussy as she's butt-fucked, and her sphincter gapes graphically. Mike has three orgasms and Angel swallows semen.

Jo Ann Callis: Woman Twirling (March 31 to August 9, 2009)

My work is about interiors--psychological and physical. I create my own interior stage-set; a world in which I can control all the elements; a world that is magical, yet still rooted in the very practical reality of everyday life.
--Jo Ann Callis
Woman with Blue Bow, from Callis' first efforts in color compositions, presents a close-up of a young woman's tanned neck with the narrow blue ribbon of her lacy white party dress tied too tightly below her chin. In the wallpaper-pattern of a blue bamboo forest behind her, two yellow lovebirds flutter above her left shoulder and appear to be kissing with their small pointed beaks. By juxtaposing implied sensations, such as constriction and mobility (the ribbon and birds) and warm and cool (the colors of skin and foliage), Callis seems to sabotage traditional symbols.
This photograph and similar ones were made after Callis' first exposure to the work of Paul Outerbridge, when the contents of his estate came to light in Los Angeles. Outerbridge's not-quite-natural color photographs inspired Callis to use color for her own expressive images. The erotic, fabricated vein running through his commercial and personal work convinced her that she was on the right path.

Calling your Members of the European Parliament (MEP) by phone and discussing CETA, the EU-Canada free trade deal, is probably the most effective way of convincing them to vote against this dangerous agreement in February 2017. However, if you have not done this before, you might be concerned about talking to a professional politician on such a complicated issue.
Don't worry, you don't need to be an expert. It is your right as citizen to know how your elected representative intends to vote. This guide is meant to give you a few tips on how to have a meaningful conversation with your European representative.
Which MEP should I call?
In principle, all 751 Members of the European Parliament are meant to represent all citizens of the EU. And all of them have a say in the final vote on CETA. Of course, they are more likely to listen to you if they think that your vote will matter to them or their party in upcoming elections. So if you live in the UK or France, you should probably pick one elected in the region where you vote. In other countries, you might want to talk to those who have their constituency offices near you.
By entering your postal code in the CETA CHECK tool, you can see which MEPs in your area have not yet pledged to vote against CETA. Clicking on the "info" icon next to their names will give you their phone numbers: one in Brussels, and (if it exists) one in their constituency office.
General advice
If you want to recall the most important arguments against CETA before calling, there is great material around:
- If you don't have much time, look at the short collection at the end of this guide.
- If you want to read a bit more in depth about the most common myths spread by proponents of CETA (those are the ones you will most likely hear on the phone, too), we recommend the excellent publication of Corporate Europe Observatory, "The great CETA swindle" (available in English, German, French and Bulgarian).
- If you want to become an expert on CETA, read the expert analysis published by a coalition of independent civil society organisations "Making sense of CETA" (in English or German).
Stay polite and be yourself. Whatever happens, don't forget the basic rules of courtesy and common sense. Whether you agree or disagree with the individual answering to you, and whatever the views of other members of her/his political group, don't give a negative image of people who are advocating with the same purpose as you.
Most of the time, you will exchange with a parliamentary assistant, and not directly with a MEP. It's not a problem: engage the conversation. Assistants play an important role in the development of the MEPs' positions.
If a question to which you don't have the answer comes up, don't panic. You are not expected to be an expert, only a concerned citizen. Tell the MEP you will research the answer and contact him/her back with more information, and come and ask us.
Don't let abbreviations and concepts from the Brussels jargon discourage you. If you do not understand a term or you are not familiar with procedures they refer to, ask them to explain it.
If you're still not satisfied with the arguments, don't give up. Ask what is the MEP's position on the subject and why.
During a phone call, don't hesitate to offer to call back with more information, to meet the MEP, to send documents, references, etc. Sometimes, Parliamentary assistants will ask you to send an e-mail.
Don't hesitate to call back later to check if they've read it and what they thought of it.
Phone Call
The best way to carry your message to a MEP is to develop your argument verbally. In this way, you can adapt your speech to her/his answers, and express your great concern about the subject on which you are calling. MEPs do not receive many calls from citizens, so they are particularly sensitive to it.
This is how a typical conversation might look :
- YOU: Hello, I'm [Your Name], I'm a European citizen calling from [Your Country], and I would like to talk to Ms/Mr MEP, please.
- ASSISTANT: Ms/Mr MEP is not available, I am her/his assistant. Can I help you?
- YOU: I have heard that the European Parliament will vote on the EU-Canada trade agreement CETA in the beginning of February and I want to know how Ms/Mr MEP is going to vote.
- ASSISTANT: I see. We had calls like this before. I have no time. Can you please send us an email?
- YOU: Sorry, but is Ms/Mr MEP the elected representative of citizens like me or do you only have time for business lobbyists? I tried sending mails to MEPs on this before, but all I got back where automatic answers. Look, this is serious: CETA threatens rights of citizens, environmental standards, consumer protection and puts the interest of large corporations over those of small, local businesses.
- ASSISTANT: We know that enemies of free trade have been busy spreading such general accusations, but they are based on general opposition to globalisation and emotional fears, not on the actual text. Isolationism is not a way forward, we need to give rules to globalisation instead. CETA is the best trade agreement the EU ever negotiated.
- YOU: CETA is a long list of what governments and parliaments are no longer allowed to do. For example, if they want to fight climate change. Or social inequality. Or regulate banks. Or reverse failed privatisations. Or tackle any other of the pressing problems of our times. And CETA can force governments to pay when they choose to press ahead with policies for which they have been elected by their citizens. Is this really the very best Ms/Mr MEP and the EU are able to achieve for us citizens?
- ASSISTANT: This is not true. CETA is a progressive trade agreement. It has stuff about workers' rights and the environment in it.
- YOU: It contains some nice words on these, yes. But there are no sanctions if those principles are violated. European and Canadian trade unions have proposed a protocol to make labour rules of CETA enforceable, but this has not been taken aboard. Why do almost all trade unions like the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) and environmental organisations call on you to vote against CETA if it is so great as you say? How can we implement the Paris Climate Agreement if polluters can sue states for passing laws to phase out dirty and hazardous fuels like coal and nuclear?
- ASSISTANT: Don't worry. We noted those concerns and our MEPs forced the Commission to add additional declarations to CETA that will ensure that important European achievements like the precautionary principle and the right to regulate remain untouched.
- YOU: Are you aware that none of those declarations will prevent Canadian investors to sue European legislators? In theory, our Parliaments can still regulate, but the high price tag on laws protecting us citizens will be so high that they will not even dare to try. Which municipality will take back privatised services in water, education, health or social welfare into public hand if the risk is being sued by investors for expropriation? This is how investor-state dispute settlement mechanisms are being used around the world and the investor court system (ICS) in CETA will create exactly the same possibility.
- ASSISTANT: Oh no, CETA has a completely new dispute settlement system, with an independent court. Do you want to keep the old ISDS systems from hundreds of bilateral trade agreements instead?
- YOU: As a citizen, I have no special court where I could sue foreign investors when they sell me dangerous products or services. Neither can domestic businesses do so, nor my government. Why do we need to give such privileges to investors at all? Both the EU and Canada have working legal systems. Can you name a single case when a Canadian investor was treated unfairly by a European court?
- ASSISTANT: Well, you know there are very different opinions on this. This agreement is the result of 6 years of negotiations, we do have to accept compromises on certain points. We are discussing this very intensively in our group, we had lots of hearings and debates in the European Parliament.
- YOU: The final text of CETA has been available since last March and the problematic points have been voiced by independent experts all the time since. The additional declarations have been published end of October, so surely Ms/Mr MEP had time to make up her/his mind. Could you please discuss the critical issues I just mentioned with her/him and let me know what she/he thinks? I can send you further reference material where these are explained more in detail.
- ASSISTANT: OK, I will report to Ms/Mr MEP and see what she/he thinks.
- YOU: Thank you very much for listening to me. I am looking forward to hear back from you. My phone number is [Your Phone Nr] and my email address is [Your Email]. Have a good day.
How did your call go? Did you enjoy it? Tell us about your experience: firstname.lastname@example.com
Did you feel you were able to make a difference? Do you think you can still improve? Time to call the next MEP, then!
We have collected a sample of the most problematic issues in CETA. You don't have to use all of them in a phone call, just pick a few that you are concerned about most.
CETA is a post-democratic agreement. It reinforces the particular interests of big industry and weakens democracy. Thus it will further alienate the EU from its citizens.
- The CETA agreement was negotiated in secret. The negotiation objectives of the EU Commission were decided in 2008 by the governments of the EU member states. Even this document was secret, until it was leaked by civil society in 2015.
- Parliaments are permitted only to say Yes or No to CETA. However, they thereby undertake to fully implement the 2270 page agreement document into governing law. The vote on CETA is therefore simultaneously a decision on data protection, pharmaceutical patents, customs duties, the enforcement of seed licenses, and much more. Never before has the European Parliament waved through far-reaching provisions of this type after such a brief and superficial parliamentary process.
- CETA provides special rights to global corporations. Section 8 allows investors from Canada to sue the EU and its member states for damages, and vice-versa, if new regulations reduce their profits and thereby the value of their investments. No domestic business can avail of this. The protection against "indirect expropriation" goes significantly beyond the protection against expropriation under national law. The "right to regulate" specified in section 8 and in the accompanying explanations changes nothing in this respect – claims for compensation will follow nevertheless. 42,000 US companies could also sue via subsidiaries in Canada.
- CETA gives lobbyists precedence over Members of the European Parliament. The rules on regulatory cooperation (sections 25 to 27) are the perfect environment for lobbyists to be able to influence the text of draft EU laws, even before these reach the European Parliament. Participation of the European Parliament, the elected representative body of citizens, is not provided for.
- CETA restricts legislators. In many places, CETA makes very definite provisions which go well beyond classical trade policy. If in future the EU, the member states, or local authorities wish to modify regulations which are defined in CETA, then the federal Government of Canada must agree. In this way, parliaments lose room for maneuver, and citizens lose their ability to change politics through the ballot box.
Food and Farming
Throughout Europe there is great pressure on farms, especially those which operate sustainable agriculture. Increasing numbers are giving up and industry is increasingly devouring agriculture. CETA will destroy small farming and accelerate the industrialisation of agriculture.
- CETA opens the market to cheap meat. CETA increases the duty-free import quotas for pork into the EU by a factor of 11, and for beef by a factor of 15. On average, between 2005 and 2015, the payout price for pork in Canada was 28.4% below that in the EU, and for beef it was 16.2% less. European companies therefore have no chance. In addition, the agreement contains no binding regulations on animal protection. Although everyone in the EU must comply with the same regulations, CETA threatens competition with the application of different standards.
- CETA strengthens the seed industry against the farmers. Many agricultural operations in Europe use their own seed for cereal cultivation. This is a thorn in the side to corporate groups like Monsanto – their aim is to take in license fees every year, but for this they must prove to the farmers that they are providing licensed seeds. Article 20.36 of CETA gives them what the European Court of Law has refused for decades: A reversal of the burden of proof. In future, farmers must prove that their seeds are not licensed – or else they must pay.
- CETA brings more genetic engineering to Europe. Canada is amongst the major champions of GMOs worldwide. Article 25.2, paragraph 2 of CETA explicitly names the "reduction of disadvantageous commercial impacts from regulatory practices in the area of biologically engineered products" as an aim of the agreement. This can mean only that the EU will eventually have to open its market for genetically modified products.
Workers' Rights
The European form of the social state owes its success to the rights of co-determination which it guarantees to workers. With CETA, their interests are thrown under the bus.
- Increased competition without common regulations. Worldwide, free trade often results in a competition to impose low salaries, long working hours, and low social contributions by employers. In order to avoid this, clear regulations are required against salary, social contribution, and tax dumping. CETA does not contain these regulations. It is true that there is a section about trade and work (section 23), which contains many fine words, but in the event of infringements, only consultations are foreseen, not sanctions.
- Companies use arbitration tribunals in order to proceed against social rights. Special rights for investors, such as the ICS in CETA, strengthen the abilities of large companies to force through their interests. For example, the French company Veolia is currently suing the Egyptian state for compensation for the introduction of a minimum wage. Winning better regulations for employees therefore becomes ever more difficult.
- CETA is destroying jobs. Economic predictions assume a slight growth of employment, less than 0.02% at best, over the course of 10 years. Less positive studies talk of a loss of more than 200,000 jobs in the EU. It will not be possible for someone who makes sausages today just to swap over to the export of building services tomorrow. Predictions therefore foresee an increase in long term unemployment.
- Redistribution from bottom to top. CETA makes it easy to change the functional distribution of income in the EU. Economic predictions forecast that the relative share of the equity owners increases by 0.66%. The working population's share in the wealth which is produced decreases correspondingly.
Environmental and Consumer Protection
As consumers, we want to be sure that products we buy are safe. We don't want to be the guinea pigs of the industry. We also don't want our environment to be polluted. That's why we have the precautionary principle in Europe. However, the industry only sees this as restriction. With CETA, they started an assault on the precautionary principle and on our rights as consumers.
- CETA obstructs food labeling. Genetically engineered food must be labeled in the EU. Still we do not yet know whether meat, milk and eggs were produced with genetically modified feed. The genetic engineering industry can use investment protection to demand compensation if labeling requirements continue for certain products.
- CETA obstructs environmental protection. The Canadian industry has a great interest in extracting oil from tar sands. This is, however, the most dirty method of oil extraction and it poses a major threat to the climate. During the negotiations on CETA, the EU Commission weakened the Fuel Quality Directive (originally designed to protect the climate) in order to meet the Canadian tar sands industry.
- CETA obstructs consumer protection. For years, the EU has been discussing the precautionary principle, a restriction on chemicals that act as hormones in the human body. In order to proceed with these free trade agreements, the EU Commission offered to ignore the precautionary principle when doing business with Canada and the US.
- CETA guarantees Canadian mining companies their dirty business. Half of all mining companies in the world come from Canada. They are among the major beneficiaries of investment protection agreements. For example, the Canadian mining company Gabriel Resources is currently suing Romania for not granting permission to mine gold in Rosia Montana. The company would have stored highly toxic cyanide behind a dam, risking the entire lower Danube region, just as we witnessed in the notorious environmental disaster of Baia Mare in 2000. With CETA, companies like Gabriel Resources receive special rights at the expense of people and the environment in all EU countries.
Public Services
European local authorities which have privatised parts of their public services in the last three decades have mainly had bad experiences. Increasingly they are reversing this step, where possible. However most European governments, as well as the EU Commission, remain true to the dogma that private, profit-oriented companies are basically better. CETA restricts the room for manoeuvre of local authorities, and supports the privatisation of public services.
- The investment protection chapter also applies to local authorities. When asked by the European Parliament, the EU Commission itself had to admit that there can be cases in which local authorities are brought before investment arbitration tribunals. There are shocking examples of this from the North American Free Trade Zone, NAFTA. For example, the Mexican local authority of Guadalcázar was ordered to pay 16.7 million dollars compensation because, in order to protect groundwater, it did not approve a hazardous waste landfill site.
- CETA extends and reinforces competitive tendering obligations. For public tenders, CETA opens the market to Canadian companies. Through specifying the thresholds for international tenders in the attachments to section 19, it becomes more difficult to lower them again, because compensation would have to be paid to Canada for this. For public tenders, CETA obliges local authorities to always select the cheapest offer, and forbids quality requirements and conditions which favour local developments.
- CETA liberalises all services not excluded explicitely. While other trade agreements include only specifically named economic sectors ("positive list"), CETA subjects everything to its regulations which is not specifically excluded ("negative list"). In addition, services which do not yet exist are automatically included in the agreement, and these must not be provided by public authorities.
- CETA prevents the reversal of privatisations. Article 8.4 (1) explicitly prohibits the local level from restricting the number of companies which exercise an economic activity with "monopolies, with suppliers having exclusive rights, or the requirement for an economic needs test". This means that privatisation, e.g. by previous governments, can no longer be reversed, even if this is the wish of the affected citizens.

Dry Food and Health Problems in Cats
on September 2, 2012
Posted in Cats
When I went to veterinary school years ago, I was taught the best thing to feed cats was dry food to keep their teeth healthy. Dry food was convenient. You could leave out large bowls of it for the cats to eat all day if they wanted.
Now almost 30 years later, things have changed. High carbohydrate dry foods have been linked to obesity and diabetes. Research has shown that cats fed exclusively dry food have shorter lives than their counterparts that are fed 50% canned food. Cats who receive canned food live on average 2-1/2 years longer than those on exclusively dry food. Why is this?
Like all animal cats require water to live. Cats are not big drinkers and in the wild cats get a lot of their water from the food they eat. I am told that mice are 95 % water! By feeding dry food, we have eliminated a source of water from the cat's diet. Cats fed dry food are more likely to develop kidney disease because the dry diet leaves them severely dehydrated. The dehydration puts a great stress on the kidneys and overtime causes death of kidney cells and scarring of the kidneys. As time goes on the kidneys fail all together!
How do we prevent this? Remove dry food from your cat's diet or feed at least 50 % canned food. If your cat does not like canned food, feed 50 % human food–ground beef, chicken or fish. If your cat has only ever eaten dry food, you may have to wean him off of it. Never stress your cat by changing his food suddenly, or you may end up with a cat with liver disease!
There are a few other ways to prevent problems in cats fed a kibble diet. Pet Wellbeing has a new product called Life Gold which is a product to support the immune system and help with detoxification of kidneys and liver. it is great for cats on commercially prepared diets to help them deal with the stress created by these diets. With some dietary changes your feline friend can live a long and healthy life.

glucose control
Isn't glucose control easier if I eat the same things every day?
7 replies
Not necessarily. Variety seems to be the most effective. It is most important to watch your carbs and total caloric intake. When did you last attend Diabetic education? maybe it is time for a review. For me these work the best and I drink lots of water. Exercise is important and I walk, my goal is to walk and or exercise three times a week. I have good A1Cs, last one was 5.6
good luck
Yes it is, provided that the things you eat are low carb and they don't tend to raise your blood sugar very quickly after you have eaten. A consistent day-to-day schedule with eating at the same times of day, eating the same numbers of carbs at corresponding times, exercising tghe same amount at the same times, etc will make blood sugar easier to control. This is, however, almost impossible to do. I cannot do this, my schedule varies greatly. I know a man who is not married and has no children. He has a fixed schedule and he never varies that schedule except for types of food. His number of carbs varies very little, his exercise is always the same. He eats an average of 90 grams of carbs per day. His A1c is 5.3 and he has lost almost all of his overweight during the past 15 months. His blood sugar stays between 80 and 100 about 90% of the time. He is Type 2 and I do not know another person with control that good. My control would probably be almost as good if my schedule was that consistent but I would find that schedule very boring. I do have some consistencies but there is variation in my schedule too. My A1c is 5.6 and I stay between 70 and 130 about 90% of the time but I do have occasional highs and lows. Yesterday I had a 42. That is very unusual for me. Last week I had a 184. That is very rare for me but it does happen. My friend never has those highs and lows because his schedule is so well regulated and consistent.
I put (perhaps to my considerable detriment) rigid consistency in the impossible, this is not quality of life category. So medical people may call me "noncompliant", but I have to live my life (with its extremely variable schedule) and eat my extremely varied diet (because I am a foodie and love to explore different cultures through their foods and cooking methods). This attitude and these practises do result on occassion in elevated blood sugars. I may die of the complications of diabetes because I did not adhere to a rigidly consistent diet and exercise program to control my blood sugars adequately and I will have no one to blame but myself, but hopefully I will die happy having truly lived. And perhaps when I am dust to dust, the new dust will be free of diabetes. Whew! Had no idea that was going to come out! LOL
