Data loss prevention (DLP) is one of the better category names simply because it does such a good job of describing what the technology is meant to do. The current dynamic in the sector is well framed in this InfoWorld story. The first-generation DLP products didn't get wide deployment and the future direction of the technology is still a bit unclear.
The piece says the initial versions of DLP tried to guard everything in the messaging path from soup (the network) to nuts (the end points). The problem, experts say, is that such an ambitious approach is complex and costly and, for this reason, hasn't taken hold.
The disagreement is, naturally, about what comes next. Some experts think that adequate tools are available in messaging gateways to fulfill the DLP mandate. This is wishful thinking to others, who maintain that "DLP Lite," as one expert called it, can take care of the fundamental issues but that more comprehensive systems are necessary to meet the full challenge.
This Help Net Security piece almost serves as a bookend to the InfoWorld feature. Indeed, the writer -- a Symantec executive -- is quoted in the earlier piece. The writer says DLP does three things: It performs "deep content inspection," it automatically protects data in endpoints, networks and storage, and it alerts those in charge when something is amiss. In the future, DLP will be available both as standalone systems and as integrated elements of larger security suites.
Regardless of debates over precise definitions, DLP is an important topic. Verizon Business this week said it is expanding its security portfolio by offering outsourced DLP services. To date, the company provided on-site DLP implementations. In addition, NextLabs released Enterprise DLP 3.0 and RSA division EMC and Cisco announced a partnership. Under the agreement, RSA's DLP products will be integrated into Cisco's security tools.
One of the key problems created by the modern world of everywhere access is that security technologies overlap in a sometimes confusing manner. Network World looks at the relationship between identity monitoring and DLP. Identity monitoring, the story says, focuses on correlating information from identity management systems with other user information and integrating the product of that process with the activities a person actually performs. The writer refines this conceptual description.
The role played by DLP, the writer says, is to identify data that likely is sensitive to the identity management system. That system, based on other information about the user, makes a decision on whether any particular activity is a cause for alarm. This is all very complex, and suggests that systems in which these closely related processes and procedures are integrated from the ground up make the most sense.
Another potential problem in using a phrase such as data loss prevention as a category designation is that it can be unclear if a commentator is referring to a specific class of software and hardware or as a more general description. It's a bit unclear in this North Star Networks piece. Regardless, the writer provides a good list of five things that a company's DLP system should do: Protect all information no matter where it is; monitor all data usage and prevent data from leaving the network; detail all security breaches; automate policy enforcement; and control encrypted data.

I play a lot of golf, to much for a working man some might say but I do have a single figure handicap to show for it. What I don't have though is an outlet to talk about my experiences along the way. The Phantom Golfer is just that and to make things a little more interesting, I am not going to share when and where I am going to play next (unless I get an invition of course).
Visit often for course reviews and opinions on some of those that I have tackled in the past.

Courses I've played: Eye of Africa 7.5/10
Unfortunately, its also way out of town, barely has any pre and post round facilities to speak of and it appears from their attitude that some members of the staff would rather be elsewhere. This is a development crying out for its investors to put more money in, to keep up with the stunning (and some not so stunning) houses going up around the course (look to Copperleaf as an example).
That being said, I had a great time playing the course (my second outing) and would gladly take the hour drive south of Joburg again. As mentioned above, the course looks stunning and requires some careful shot making in order to negotiate your way round. It is short by comparison to some of the newer courses in Gauteng and the fairways are quite generous in places but if you hit a long ball and try to overpower the course, you will find yourself in trouble more often than not.
The feature hole for me has to be the par 4, stroke 1, 3rd - a tricky little bugger were you can run out of space to the left, to the right and thru the fairway (if the wind is blowing), with bunkers and out of bounds to be avoided on the left, a hazard running the entire length of the right hand side of the fairway with a raised green for your approach shot. Played off the tee with a driver, you won't have much more than a 9 iron in for your second, but it is uphill (you often won't see the bottom of the pin, on the tiered green) and you have to come in over the hazard. Walking off with a par is very satisfying.
From a looks perspective, I would go for the par 3 16th, a steeply downhill hole, with a game reserve off to the left, a koppjie behind and non-intrusive houses to the left. It looks easy off the tee box but there are bunkers to catch you out and a false front that deals with anything short.
The only reason it falls short from an overall rating perspective is due to the aforementioned lack of facilities and attitude of some of the staff. A move to the large farm house (instead of living in the stables) would make a world of difference. Also trying buying some new buckets for the range, the broken ones look crap.

Hey Stef.
It's been a while since I've made a "Wish You Were Here" post. But I just read your post today about the fancy pancakes you made this morning. I feel like today was a pancake day for people. My friend Ann reported that she made pancakes today too, and come to think of it my friend Erin also made pancakes. I wonder if Presidents make people think of pancakes. That and it's a weekend thing to do, for the people and by the people.
Whatever. But it made me think about that time in high school when we had that boy and girl overnight at my mom's house, against her wishes and Sean and Jeff and I think Jaimi came over. And we all watched The Shining and we were in my mom's living room with all those French doors which made the movie even scarier. And then the next morning you and I walked to the Ralphs and bought eggs and pancake mix and food dye and made green and blue pancakes and eggs. And when we tried to serve our breakfast to our friends, no one wanted to eat our green pancakes and we wondered why. Oh to be young. Remember that? I thought I was going to be in a rock band and marry someone like Thurston Moore. Looks like none of that happened. I'm still wondering what will happen now.

Jaime King & Nicole Richie: MOCA Gala!
Nicole Richie and Jaime King step out for the MOCA Gala, held at the Museum of Contemporary Art on Saturday (November 12) in Los Angeles.
This year's gala featured An Artist's Life Manifesto, directed by Marina Abramovic.
PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of Jaime King
You can catch Jaime in "The Crush & The Crossbow," an all-new episode of Hart of Dixie, on Monday. Here's the synopsis: When Nascar's Brian Vickers (as himself) has to drop out of hosting Bluebell Junior League's annual turtle race, Lemon (King) is reluctantly convinced that the mayor (Cress Williams) is the perfect replacement as her co-host.

Some of the best little health and beauty secrets I have revolve around organic lemons. My kitchen always has them on hand and I go through them quickly. Today I'm sharing my favorite uses for them! Continue reading
Tag Archives: immunity
Y'all know how much I love green juice and smoothies and lately I've been craving a switch up from my usual recipe. I added a few new ingredients to add to the nutritional benefit and even my roommate, who I think wants to vomit every time she sees me drinking something green, says she likes this!
For 1 smoothie you'll need:
- 1 cup water
- Half a bag of organic spinach
- 1 cup organic frozen tropical fruit mix (love this one from Trader Joe's!)
- the juice of 1 lemon
- 1 TBSP chia seeds
- 1 inch chunk of fresh ginger
- 1 tsp core greensStart by pouring the water into your blender and add chia seeds and spinach next, add everything else on top and blend until smooth. (The vitamix will give you the best texture!) Enjoy! In case you aren't familiar with chia seeds, here are a few of the benefits:
and as mentioned in my raw brownies recipe, you know I'm obsessed with Core Greens
To learn more about the benefits of lemon and ginger, check out my recipe for the immunity/weight loss shot! Start your week off with some goodness, Happy Monday!
When I was in LA last month I couldn't help eating my way through several healthy restaurants. One trend I noticed that I haven't seen in Nashville was "health shots" boasting things like "immunity" or "debloating." I loved the idea of downing lots of good nourishing ingredients quickly and decided to come up with my own recipe.
I thought my recipe would be timely for January as it is great for immunity, detoxing, and weight loss. For one shot you'll need:
- 1 lemon
- 1 inch piece of fresh ginger
- Cayenne pepper (as much as you can handle, I usually do 2 hard shakes)
- Tumeric (same as cayenne)
- Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar (I do about tablespoon)
- Lemon juicer
First press the lemon in sections through the lemon juicer
I actually put the ginger through the lemon juicer too and it works just fine! Add the spices and Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar, stir, and throw it back! Don't even attempt to let yourself taste it, just swallow and chase with water! (It's not so bad!)
Lemon has long since been touted as one of the top ways to cleanse your liver, help with digestion, boost your immune system, clear your skin, energize, etc.
Ginger has been called "the world's healthiest food" and is known to be a natural anti inflammatory. It is also effective as an anti nausea remedy and has been said to suppress the appetite among many other things!
Cayenne pepper aids in breaking up and moving congested mucus, helps with migrane prevention, joint pain, supports heart health, weight loss, and is being studied as a possible cancer anti-agent!
Tumeric has antioxidant, antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, anticarcinogenic, antimutagenic and anti-inflammatory properties. It is also loaded with many healthy nutrients such as protein, dietary fiber, niacin, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, sodium, potassium, calcium, copper, iron, magnesium and zinc. It is used to help treat a wide variety of diseases.
Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar helps detox, balance the body's pH levels, aids in weight loss, and is great for the lymphatic system. There is also research suggesting that apple cider vinegar can help reduce heartburn.
Here's to a happy and healthy 2014 for all of you!

D-backs, Phillies right back at it in series finale
The Diamondbacks could desperately use another complete game from Patrick Corbin, something he gave them in his most recent start.
The Phillies certainly can't count on a similarly lengthy outing from Roy Halladay.
After Saturday's 18-inning marathon, the Diamondbacks and Phillies will have some beat-up bullpens in Sunday's finale as Halladay makes his surprise return to the hill against Arizona's young All-Star left-hander.
The Phillies rallied from a 6-0 deficit Saturday and scored four in the eighth inning to head into extras tied at 7. But no more runs were scored until the 18th, when Philadelphia (58-71) was forced to use outfielder Casper Wells on the mound. He got two outs before Arizona erupted for five runs, and the Diamondbacks went on to win a 12-7 marathon that took 7 hours, 6 minutes — setting a mark for length of game for both teams.
"(Wells) actually came out with some good stuff and looked like he was going to put a zero up there," Phillies interim manager Ryne Sandberg said.
The D-backs (66-62) at least got six innings from starter Randall Delgado, while Philadelphia's Ethan Martin didn't even make it through the first. The Phillies' bullpen pitched a franchise-record 17 1/3 innings, and now they'll bring Halladay (2-4, 8.65 ERA) back for his first major league start since May 5 after scheduled starter Tyler Cloyd pitched five innings Saturday.
Halladay, who had arthroscopic right shoulder surgery on May 15, gave up a combined 17 runs over six innings in his last two starts before hitting the disabled list.
So what does Sandberg expect from the two-time Cy Young Award winner?
"To give us what he has," Sandberg said. "I believe he was our best option for (Sunday)."
Halladay posted a 3.00 ERA in two starts with the Gulf Coast Phillies, and he wasn't expected back in the major leagues anytime soon. Sandberg said the team made a call to general manager Ruben Amaro Jr., who gave the Phillies the okay to bring Halladay up.
The Diamondbacks, on the other hand, have their innings-eater in place. Corbin (13-3, 2.45) has lasted six-plus innings in 24 of his 25 starts this season, joining the Cardinals' Adam Wainwright as the only pitchers with 170-plus innings to last that long in all but one start.
Corbin was particularly good on Tuesday, going the distance for the second time this year in a 5-2 win in Cincinnati. He tied a season high with 10 strikeouts.
"Today I had my best slider," Corbin said. "I felt good warming up in the bullpen. I thought it would be a good game. I knew I could go to my slider at any time."
Sunday's game will begin fewer than 12 hours after Saturday's finally came to an end. Both teams burned through nine pitchers, and each used a second member of its rotation. Philadelphia also used two position players, Wells and John McDonald.
Corbin has faced Philadelphia once in his career, holding the Phillies to a run over 6 1/3 innings in a 2-1 win May 9.
Paul Goldschmidt went 0 for 3 in that game, but he's hitting .389 over the last eight games on Arizona's 10-game road trip. He went 2 for 6 and had four of the Diamondbacks' franchise-record 18 walks on Saturday.
"The team feeds off Patrick (Corbin) and Goldy," manager Kirk Gibson said. "They've been our most consistent guys all year."
Goldschmidt is 0 for 4 against Halladay.
Halladay, ordinarily one of the most pinpoint pitchers in the game with 1.86 walks per nine innings through 2012, has struggled with his control in 2013, walking 17 batters in 34 1/3 innings.

Satu H. Woodland PMHCNS-BC
Advanced Practice Registered Nurse
Boise, ID and Meridian, ID
Interested in help with a child or relationship? Or perhaps need psychiatric medication prescribing/management but tired of inadequate 15 minute psychiatrist appointments? Want a caring interactive therapist?
I am a psychiatric mental health clinical nurse specialist. My practice is multidimensional in focus. I have trained in the psychotherapies, as well as the medical aspects of mental health issues such as taking medical histories, ordering and interpreting lab work, diagnosing conditions, and managing medications. In addition, my nursing background helps me care for the spiritual well being along with the physical.
Although I love and frequently do marriage counseling and family therapy in my practice, I specialize in the treatment of mental health issues: depression, anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD, ADHD, schizophrenia, bipolar illness, and eating disorders which often require medication consultation and management. I have over 25 years of varied experience.
I am especially interested in helping those who have been disappointed with traditional methods of "past-focused" psychotherapy. Unlike traditional psychology, I spend less time on the distant past and more time on the here and now and how to solve current problems. Short-term Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a special interest.
I view most problems as multifactorial in nature that must be treated holistically. There is usually no one cause but a combination of biological, genetic, cultural, and spiritual factors, including family upbringing, health issues, harmful habits, among other issues. Using evidence- based knowledge I can help with all of these.
It takes a lot of courage to seek out mental health services and I want to congratulate you on taking thi first step! The next steps to be taken will not be easy but I am confident that you will not be disappointed you made that choice.
My goal is to provide you with high-quality mental health services and satisfaction – My goal is help you find the peace, contentment and joy that I believe all people have the capacity to feel.
Genetic Testing: New individualized choice of medication based on your genetic profile! Find out which medications work best and which don't work as well. Also find out which supplements are best for your mental and overall health.
Talk and Walk therapy: Uncomfortable with the clinical nature or confrontation of an office? Find that walking clears your mind? Let's combine the two. The Boise river/greenbelt is next to my office. Let's hit the trails! Many people who work during the day and like to exercise during lunch find this very convenient and time saving.
Telehealth: For those homebound or who live far away or just don't want to take extra time to travel, after the evaluation, I may be able to offer telehealth. Secure web based video teleconferencing from the computer. All you need is highspeed internet and a webcam!

Justin Bieber reportedly collapsed Thursday night after suffering breathing problems while playing the third of four shows planned for London's O2 arena.
After receiving oxygen from emergency personnel, the 19-year-old returned to finish his final four songs before heading to the hospital to be checked out.
Bieber told the audience he wasn't feeling well before he stumbled backstage, according to TMZ and the Daily Mail. He fainted backstage, not onstage, his rep told the Associated Press.

"getting better," Bieber tweeted in the wee hours after the show. "thanks for everyone pulling me thru tonight. best fans in the world. figuring out what happened. thanks for the love."

So fashion week came and went and...well, it wasn't that exciting really. Even the fur protestors were a little dowdy this year.
Which means there's a lot of pressure on Alternative Fashion Week to inject a bit of excitement into what is, let's face it, a bit of a floundering British industry.
The idea behind AFW is for young fashion designers to get recognised and maybe even 'discovered' and also to provide a bit of a platform for some genuinely independent work.
Which is great and everything...but what we're far more interested in is that Premier Model Management are running a modelling competition at the event, and their "scouts will be searching the crowd for new faces". The eventual winner will be offered a contract with Premier.
What do you reckon, do you think we should give our modelling career one last shot? It's not too late is it?
Alternative Fashion Week runs until 18 MArch at the Old Truman Brewery. Shows are open to the public daily at 1:15pm, with 12 different designers on show each day.

The Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas has assessed a $946,197.16 fine against attorney Nancy Raynor and Raynor & Associates, P.C.
The sanction stemmed from Raynor's questioning of an expert witness in a medical malpractice case. Raynor represented the doctor and a physician group accused of failing to timely diagnose decedent's lung cancer. Prior to trial, the court had issued an order precluding the defendants from, "presenting any evidence, testimony and/or argument regarding decedent's smoking history."
Just before opening arguments, the court again addressed the issue of decedent's smoking history, and before Raynor's opening statement, plaintiff's counsel sought the court's assurance that Defendant's counsel had "[spoken] to their expert witnesses before they get on the stand and make it clear that they're not to raise the issue, blurt it out, volunteer it, etc." The court assured plaintiff's counsel that Raynor knew the rules and had been advised of the need to speak with witnesses about the restriction on their testimony.
In spite of the evidentiary prohibition, when Raynor asked her medical expert whether the decedent had any cardiac risk factors, the expert responded, "The patient was a smoker. The patient was hypertensive. So yes, I mean, those are big risk factors." When questioned by the judge, the witness stated that Defense counsel had not instructed him with respect to discussing the decedent's smoking history.
After trial, plaintiff filed a motion seeking a new trial and sanctions. After a hearing and additional evidence, the court believed that the expert witness's claim had never been told not to mention decedent's smoking history, and that Raynor should be sanctioned. The court awarded plaintiff $946,197.16, the entire costs of the new trial necessitated by the inappropriate testimony.
Raynor has appealed.

Blumenthal Letter on AdAge's Allegation on Legacy Ads
In a March 16 AdAge.com article, you report that I have offered, or offered to discuss, reigning in[sic] tough anti-smoking ad content in return for continued industry funding of those ads. That report is not correct. While I am generally willing to speak to those who disagree with me, I did not say that I would -- and in fact I would not -- consider limiting or reining in tough effective anti-smoking ads in any way.

HENNINGFIELD: On Increased Nicotine Levels
Increased nicotine in cigarettes could help perpetuate and or increase nicotine addiction in the population without making the individual cigarette demonstrably more addictive . . . Implications for evaluating the Massachusetts data: If the Massachusetts findings are valid, then the data suggest that by increasing available nicotine in cigarettes, it will be easier for tobacco users to sustain their addictions, as restrictions on smoking, and cost of the products increase, and number of cigarettes per day decrease. At the population level this could contribute to maintaining addiction. This conclusion is not based on the premise that such cigarettes are "more addictive" or that lower nicotine cigarettes are less addictive. Of course, with cigarettes as with illicit and prescription drugs of abuse many factors beyond dose and formulation also affect prevalence of use and attractiveness

Passive Smoking Lung Cancer Death Case Settled In Favor of Plaintiff
• Mr. Larry Ray Thaxton, a lifelong nonsmoker, was born in 1956, and died from lung cancer at the age of 40 in 1996 in Chattanooga, Tennessee, U.S.A. From age 26 to the time of his death, Mr. Thaxton was a railroad worker employed by the Norfolk Southern Railway in an outdoor job on various sites far from his home. During the week, he was housed in bunk trailers in various campgrounds provided by the railroad. • Mr. Thaxton complained to his employers regularly about his constant involuntary exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke from co-workers in the bunk cars . . . . A quantitative risk assessment incorporating experimental measurements of secondhand smoke concentrations in a typical bunk-trailer indicated that his work-related secondhand smoke exposure doubled Mr. Thaxton's odds of lung cancer death. The case settled in favor of the plaintiff after 10 years of litigation, in Atlanta, Georgia, on January 19, 2006, for an undisclosed amount.

Tuttle Decision (7/30/04)
As a young professional baseball player Bill Tuttle (Tuttle) began chewing smokeless tobacco in 1955, and continued chewing regularly until 1993. His product of choice was Beech-Nut, which was manufactured by Lorillard Tobacco Company and later acquired in 1988 by National Tobacco Company. In October 1993, Tuttle was diagnosed with oral cancer, and he later died in July 1998 from related complications. On September 21, 1999, Tuttle's widow, Gloria Tuttle1 (Mrs. Tuttle) filed a lawsuit against several smokeless tobacco manufacturers and their trade association, alleging both common law claims of negligence, fraud, and civil conspiracy, as well as statutory claims alleging violations of several Minnesota consumer protection statutes. Following extensive discovery, the defendants moved for summary judgment on all claims. The district court granted summary judgment on the claims and entered judgment in favor of the defendants. Mrs. Tuttle appeals. We reverse the district court's ruling on the statute of limitations, but conclude Mrs. Tuttle's claims are legally insufficient, because her claims fail for want of admissible proof of causation and reliance. We, therefore, affirm the district court's judgment.

031215 Final Rylander Judgement in Geneva
B. a) During the incriminated press conference, Jean-Charles Rielle and Pascal Diethelm made public a press release drafted by them and entitled: "Geneva at the centre of an unprecedented scientific fraud: overwhelming evidence against the activities of 'Geneva' professor Ragnar Rylander!" In substance, in the text they accused Ragnar Rylander of having been secretly employed by Philip Morris USA for over 25 years and paid by Fabriques de Tabac Réunies, Neuchâtel, while being attached to the Institut de médecine sociale et préventive [Institute for Social and Preventive Medicine], in which capacity he was in charge of several of the Institute's research projects . . . . According to Jean-Charles Rielle and Pascal Diethelm, the conclusion reached by one of Professor Rylander's projects on respiratory infections in young children and environmental factors, namely that tobacco smoke did not modify risks of illness in young children, was mind-boggling and, when one knew that he was one of Philip Morris's most highly paid consultants, tended to call into question the objectivity of his work. . . b) Ragnar Rylander, environmental physician, former researcher and lecturer at various institutes and universities, notably the Universities of Stockholm, Gothenburg and Geneva, filed a criminal complaint on 18 April 2001 for defamation, or even calumny, against Jean-Charles Rielle and Pascal Diethelm. In substance, in his complaint Ragnar Rylander explained that he had never been employed by Philip Morris, that he had never oriented his research to suit the desires of Philip Morris or other cigarette manufacturers in return for funding for his research, and that he had never allowed Philip Morris to inspect his research or to influence it in any way whatsoever . . . d) The following chronological account of the relations between Ragnar Rylander and Philip Morris is based on the exhibits produced by Jean-Charles Rielle and Pascal Diethelm and available for the most part on Philip Morris's website (www.pmdocs.com) and on that of the tobacco industry (www.tobaccoarchives.com). . . An examination of the incriminated press release shows that the expression "scientific fraud" concerns only Ragnar Rylander's deception regarding his links with Philip Morris and not the fact, criticised later on, that he had altered a data base so that the results of a study might correspond to the expected outcome, as it emerges from the very letter that Ragnar Rylander sent to Thomas Osdene concerning the study on passive smoking and respiratory diseases in children. . . . A deception that, as is the case here, spanned some thirty years and was kept up even at the cost of lies . . . . certainly deserves the qualification that was used. Geneva has indeed been the centre of an unprecedented scientific fraud in so far as Ragnar Rylander, acting in his capacity of associate professor at the University, took advantage of its influence and reputation, not hesitating to put science at the service of money and not heeding the mission entrusted to this public institution . . . Having re-examined the whole file, the Criminal Division reaches the conclusion that the veracity of the incriminated expression has also been demonstrated, the expression in question constituting simultaneously a fact and a value judgement. The appeal is therefore upheld, the judgement of the Tribunal de Police of 24 May 2002 annulled, and the appellants are acquitted.

04/02/24 OLYMPIC v. HUSAIN
Held: The conduct here constitutes an "accident" under Article 17. Pp. 4–12. (a) The parties do not dispute Saks' definition of "accident," but 2 OLYMPIC AIRWAYS v. HUSAIN Syllabus they disagree about which event should be the focus of the "accident" inquiry. The Court's reasoning in Saks sheds light on whether the flight attendant's refusal to assist a passenger in a medical crisis is the proper focus of the "accident" inquiry. In Saks, the Court focused on "what causes can be considered accidents," 470 U. S., at 404, and did not suggest that only one event could be the "accident." Indeed, the Court recognized that "[a]ny injury is the product of a chain of causes." Id., at 406. Thus, for purposes of the "accident" inquiry, a plaintiff need only prove that "some link in the chain was an unusual or unexpected event external to the passenger."

Attorneys General Letter to MPAA
We, the undersigned Attorneys General, write to ask you, with your longstanding prominence and influence in the American motion picture industry, to exercise your exemplary leadership to effect potentially far reaching benefits for public health. A Dartmouth Medical School study released last month confirms what other research has suggested: reducing the prevalence of cigarette smoking in motion pictures could significantly decrease the initiation of smoking in youth. With this new evidence of how effective reducing smoking in motion pictures would be in preventing youth smoking, the motion picture industry stands in a uniquely powerful position to bring about a profoundly beneficial impact on the health and well-being of millions of Americans. . . The motion picture industry, therefore, is uniquely situated to bring about sweeping change to prevent youth smoking. Simply by reducing the depiction of smoking in movies, the industry can protect our nation's youth from the known perils of smoking. Mr. Valenti, you have demonstrated your leadership and willingness in the past to join forces to protect our youth from violence in the media. We are hopeful you will use your best efforts again here to rally the motion picture industry to move from being a source of the problem to being recognized as a critically important force in solving the nation's deadly problem of youth smoking. We look forward to hearing your ideas about how the motion picture industry will pursue this tremendous opportunity. Thank you in advance for your thoughtful consideration of this important matter.

Tobacco Tax Challenge Update Report Summer 2003
In February 2002, the SmokeLess States National Tobacco Policy Initiative issued the Tobacco Tax Challenge to encourage governors nationwide to reduce youth smoking and the incredible and unnecessary harm tobacco inflicts on people. Several of the nation's leading health care organizations, including the American Academy of Family Physicians, American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, American Lung Association, American Medical Association and the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids joined SmokeLess States in issuing this Challenge. More than 380,000 kids and adults alive today would be saved from smoking-related deaths if higher state cigarette taxes were implemented in the 30 states with below-average cigarette tax rates. Raising state cigarette taxes combined with cessation and prevention programs are one of the most effective ways to reduce smoking rates and to prevent kids from ever starting to smoke. In this Update Report, we provide a look at the ongoing Challenge, the benefits of higher state cigarette taxes and a look ahead on the legislative front.

RJR, LORILLARD v. CALIFORNIA 7/22/03
Two tobacco companies bring suit against officials of California's Department of Health Services. They challenge the state's anti-tobacco advertisements, which are funded through a special surtax on wholesale tobacco sales. The tobacco companies claim that the surtax forces them to fund ads with which they disagree, and that this violates their right to free speech under the First Amendment. They also complain that the ads interfere with their right to trial by jury under the Seventh Amendment and unfairly stigmatize them in violation of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.. . . Hence, because the Seventh Amendment claim fails as a matter of law, the due process claim likewise fails. Although plaintiffs fail to state a claim for denial of procedural due process, if the plaintiffs truly believe that the challenged advertisements are both provably false and disparaging to their business reputations, they are free to seek relief against the State of California or its officials in a defamation action under state law.31

The Survey as PR
On May 12, 2003, the New York Post ran two stories on a "Post survey" it had done amongst 50 "randomly selected" New York City bars and restaurants. 1,2. The survey found that, "34 of the 50 businesses queried have shown a decline in business since April. . . The median of those reporting declines was a 30 percent cut in business." The media universally accepted the Post survey at face value and repeated the Post's findings without qualification, giving readers the impression that restaurant business really had fallen off by "as much as 50 percent." Within a month, the findings had entered a never-never-land of received knowledge, disembodied from any source at all, and often deployed as established or likely fact in efforts to defeat smokefree air legislation in other localities. Why the media should take this survey so literally is a mystery, as it was uncredited, unverifiable, and had glaring faults. 1. The survey was clearly not done by a professional research company; it was solely referenced as a "Post survey." The survey was actually conducted by the reporter herself. Her data is not available. 2. It seems unlikely that this was a "random" survey. The random claim, repeated by the Post as late as May 24, 2003 8 seems on its face, misleading--at least 4 of the restaurateurs cited were on record as opposing smoking bans. . . . 3. The survey design mimics a notorious tobacco industry PR tactic, the "30% Myth." 11

Enstrom and the tobacco industry
In short, Enstrom's 25 years of begging the tobacco industry for money do not square with his claim today that he's just "received" money and just "in recent years". He's been trying to get tobacco industry money for a quarter century, and it finally started to pay off about 10 years ago, to the tune of over half a million dollars. In return, it appears he has delivered a study amazingly useful to his sponsor.

Susan Miles et al v Philip Morris Inc.
Illinois Circuit Court Judge Nicholas Byron orders Philip Morris to pay $10.1 billion in damages for misleading smokers into believing that low-tar cigarettes are safer than regular brands. "The Court finds that the term 'Lights' not only conveyed a message of reduced harm and safety, but also conveyed to Class members that the 'Lights' cigarette product was lower in tar and nicotine. . . . Specifically, Dr. Joel Cohen, a Professor at the University of Florida who has studied consumer behavior (specifically in the context of tobacco) for over twenty years, established as a factual matter that Philip Morris fully understood (prior to the launch of Marlboro Lights and Cambridge Lights) smokers' concerns regarding the negative health impact of smoking. The testimony and documents offered at trial demonstrate that Philip Morris' initial response to this growing health concern was to create a disinformation environment wherein Philip Morris through its own public statements (and though its participation in the Tobacco Institute) knowingly and falsely disputed scientific conclusions that established a connection between smoking and diseases. Philip Morris' strategy was to create doubt about the negative health implications of smoking without actually denying these allegations. The evidence offered at trial establishes that Philip Morris continued this disinformation campaign through the mid-1990's. the course of conduct by Philip Morris related to its fraud in this case is outrageous, both because Philip Morris' motive was evil and the acts showed a reckless disregard for the consumers' rights. As a consequence, punitive damages are appropriate in this case."

The National Academy of Clinical Flow Cytometry, which will be based at the University, will help to train scientists in the detection and monitoring of Paroxysmal Nocturnal Haemoglobinuria (PNH) to ensure the disease is diagnosed as early as possible.
PHN is a rare, life threatening, genetic condition that affects around two people in every million.
The condition can occur at any age and is characterised by the destruction of red blood cells by part of the body's immune system that leads to a high risk of thrombosis.

"There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior. A nameless terrible thing soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the Cosmos. And nothing could stop it or hold it or reason with it. One day, it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world." - The Doctor
Brilliant. Fantastic. Explosive. In short OMG!!!
What else can be said about the penultimate episode of series 5 of Doctor Who? Well plenty, and as I pretty much said last week, the shit has most definitely hit the fan! There was action and discoveries and some very emotional moments topped by an amazing cliffhanger. But there were also some humorous and romantic bits as well.
Written by Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat, The Pandorica Opens marks the return of the Moff as writer since the Weeping Angels two-parter, The Time of Angels and Flesh and Stone. And what a return it is as Moffat ups the ante for the Doctor and his friends, and at the same time starts to tie up all the threads that were strewn about during series 5.
The episode also sees the return of some important faces we've seen throughout this series. Starting with Vincent Van Gogh (Tony Curran), who is in the throws of his deepest depression (something we haven't quite seen in Vincent and The Doctor), which also turns out – as we find out - to be some sort of premonition, as he paints an exploding Tardis.
Then we are brought back into the Cabinet War rooms with Bracewell (Bill Paterson) examining the Van Gogh painting and letting Winston Churchill (Ian McNeice) know it's a warning for the Doctor. But instead of reaching the Doctor, Churchill happens to reach Doctor River Song, future professor and archaeologist, who's locked away in the Stormcage containment facility in 5145.
"Hello you. Have we met?" Ahhhhh, a man and his box. Maybem we should leave them alone?
The hallucinatory lipstick makes its return and River makes her escape, bumps into Liz Ten (Sophie Okonedo) while robbing said Van Gogh painting, sends a message to the Doctor by writing "Hello Sweetie" on the oldest cliff face of the universe, and then when this one shows up to the time and place she set him upon in 102 AD Britain, she pretends to be Cleopatra to his Caesar. Anybody else thinking Hello Sweetie and River Song are really getting cool?
The reunited trio find the famed Pandorica, and it's definitely not a fairytale. It's a huge box underneath Stonehenge – which was an absolutely gorgeous setting by the way and, where better then Stonehenge for the Doctor to meet his greatest peril yet? - and the Doctor is determined to figure out what's inside. But we all know what's really coming right? Because when it actually does open toward the very end of the episode, the Pandorica is *gulp* empty.
Chillingly, it turns out to be a trap for the Doctor and his friends because that legendary feared being? It's the Doctor. It was all a plan hatched by an alliance formed by the Doctor's most feared enemies. Because to them, he is the boogie man, the Big Bad, the worse thing in the whole wide Universe. And they have discovered that the Doctor's Tardis is responsible for the upcoming destruction of the Universe and all it's realities.
Steven Moffat definitely throws all the big guns for his first series finale. He's not happy with the return of one monster like the Daleks or the Master, or the Time Lords. No, no, no. It needs to be bigger, so he brings in many of the Doctor's oldest, and newest, enemies together for the first time ever into one big episode: Daleks, Cybermen, Sontarans, Sycorax, Zygons (even if just in mention – so cool!), Judoons, Silurians, the Nestene Consciousness and the Autons, just to name a few. They all have taken upon themselves to save the universe from the Doctor and have formed an unlikely alliance. This move could have turned into a complete fiasco in less capable hands, and could have been corny or silly; but it turns out to work out splendidly because of the nature of the storyline itself and because Steven Moffat is such in control of it. The man knows what he's doing people (or at least, he appears to)!
But how was it done? How did the Doctor's enemies manage that feat? The answers are scattered inside Amy's House: Something - if not the aliens assembled before us - used Amy's memories to create a perfect trap for the Doctor. The Pandorica? Brought to life from a book she had about Pandora's Box, her favourite story as a child. The Romans at Stonehenge? Also based on a book she keeps in her bedroom – it was her favourite topic at school. River makes the discovery when she's brought by the Tardis itself to Amy's house on that fateful 26 06 2010 date.
But not only do we have an alliance of Doctor enemies, there's also the case of that strange voice inside the Tardis itself that we hear announcing that "Silence will Fall." What is it? Who can it possibly be? Is it related in some way to Magpie Electricals? River told the Doctor that someone else was flying the Tardis, that it was an external force in control of it. Will it be revealed in the last episode? Is this the Big Bad we have yet to see? Is there even a big bad this season? The Doctor is the Big Bad to his enemies but who is truly the Doctor's Big Bad? So many questions still.
The episode also marks the return of Rory, Amy's fiancee, but there's a catch; Rory Williams really died, and the Rory that's standing there is nothing but an Auton – who were last seen in 2005's series premiere episode Rose - with perfect memories of Rory. But this Auton-Rory really believes he IS Rory Williams, even though he ultimately finds out he's not. He's been created by the aliens from Amy's memories. Well, if it's the only way for us to get Rory back, I'm going to take Auton-Rory with open arms. But one nit pick I have is if Rory was erased from existence, how come there's still a picture of him with Amy in her house?
Now, Steven Moffat is not a man to shy away from big shockers, and after dispatching a companion earlier in the series, Moffat does it again by having Auton-Rory actually murder Amy – even if poor Rory evidently didn't want to do it – at the saddest and most tragic moment possible, when Amy was finally regaining all her memories of him. But I must not be the only one thinking and believing that all these deaths may ultimately be undone. After all, as the Doctor said, history can be re-written and "nothing is ever forgotten, not completely. And, if something can be remembered, it can come back." Let's keep our fingers crossed then.
So the episode ends on one of the biggest Doctor Who cliffhangers of all time: Amy's apparently dead, the Doctor is being locked inside the Pandorica (fear not, we all know he will get out, the real question is how? Perhaps the vortex manipulator that enables time-travel that River acquired earlier in the episode and is probably now hidden on his wrist? Or will River use it to get herself and the Doctor out?) by his countless enemies and River Song is caught in the exploding Tardis.
Ppphhheeewwwww! What a wild ride!
We can clearly see that all the money saving episodes such as Amy's Choice, Vincent and the Doctor and The Lodger went into the finale; well at least, it's first part. There were a lot of great FX by The Mill, with the many and very cool alien spaceships. Plus we got our own version of the Star Wars Cantina type set again, which was VERY reminiscent of the space bar seen in The End of Time. From Star Trek to Star Wars references littered around this entire series, Steven Moffat is my kind of guy.
The acting was great again, nothing new on the horizon to add to what I've said quite a few times. Matt Smith shines as always and I loved the speech he gave on Stonehenge to the massing alien ships in the sky. Great stuff. Karen Gillan was OK and I didn't mind her this episode, but I do hope she gets better at acting. Arthur Darvill, what can I say, I love thee. My letter to Stephen Moffat to make you a series regular next season is in the mail. I said it before and I say it again, Amy is at her best with Rory.
Alex Kingston was in splendid form in this episode. I still think that her character, River Song, is the Doctor's wife, contrarily to some who believe that she's the future Doctor. Too many things make no sense for that to be really true. And if anyone is basing themselves on the statement that only the Doctor can pilot the Tardis, remember that the Doctor's companions all piloted the Tardis in Journey's End. Plus, who better than the Doctor's wife to take out her hubby's Tardis? That and the fact she said "I'm sorry my love," when the Tardis started to explode. I don't believe she was addressing the Tardis at the time. Maybe we'll find out next week - or not.
There it is. A splendid episode, and I really hope that the final part will be as good as this one. The previous series, with Russell T. Davies, have had a tendency to have their finales be inferior to the episode that preceded them. Let's hope Moffat won't let us down!
Next Week: The Big Bang! No trailer. Biiiiiiig Mystery. How will the Doctor and his companions get out of that situation? Put me in a coma for the next 6 days.
My Rating for the episode: A big whopping 9.8/10
Interesting Tidbits:
The vortex manipulator that River Song acquires earlier in the episode at the Maldovarium is an item used by Time Agents. Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman - Doctor Who, Torchwood) and Captain John Hart (James Masters - Torchwood) both have been sporting it. The Time Agency was created in the 51st century and was shut down in the 52nd. The blue alien mentioned the item was "fresh off the wrist of a handsome time agent." Does it come from any one of them, or from an entirely unknown time agent? It WILL most definitely play a role in saving everyone in The Big Bang.
I really felt like I was watching an Indiana Jones movie when The Doctor, River and Amy entered the Un-hedge and discovered the Pandorica. The effect was nicely supported by Murray Gold's very John Williams-like score.
The Doctor gets electrocuted – again.
How cool was the Cyberman's decapitated head? It was moving around with it's electrical tendrils and I felt like I was watching a scene taken right out of John Carpenter's The Thing. I have to say that cyberman was really frightening and effective, more so than all the times I've previously seen them in new Who.
River Song in that story is from from an earlier time frame than the River Song from The Time of Angels and Flesh and Stone.

text: So, finally I can upgrade from this crummy bionic (nah, it just needed some love in the form of liberty and an overclock ) and I am stuck between the razr/razr maxx or the galaxy nexus, or to wait for the razr HD. I don't really care for screen quality or any of that, I just need it to get at least a 3G reception (I live in a rural area and I have 3 bars 3G now) and something that is sturdy and can take a few drops on cement. I loved my Droid x, that thing was a brick. My bionic, not so much. I've heard the gnex is plasticy and gets poor reception, but ics and an unlockable bootloader (something that all Motorola phones lack out of the box) is very tempting. Now with the razr made out of Kevlar and what not with its 8 MP camera, compared to the 5 MP on the gnex, is also very attractive in its design but runs on gingerbread. Any suggestions on what I should upgrade to?

The exemption relates only to the right of admission to qualifying activities where they are made by public authorities (as defined in VCULTURE1300) and eligible bodies (essentially non-profit-making bodies), that meet certain conditions.
Qualifying activities are defined as the right of admission to :
- a museum, gallery, art exhibition or zoo; or
- a theatrical, musical or choreographic performance of a cultural nature.
A public authority can only exempt qualifying admission charges where it would not be likely to generate distortion of competition with commercial enterprises. More detail on the scope of the exemption for public authorities, including joint ventures, is provided at VCULTURE3000.
To qualify as an eligible body and be able to exempt admission charges to qualifying activities, a body must meet all of the conditions laid down in Note 2 to Group 13 of Schedule 9 to the VAT Act 1994.
Guidance on how these conditions should be interpreted and applied can be found in Section 4 of Notice 701/47: Culture (August 2011 edition). Further information on whether cultural bodies which have a Trustee member paid by a third party qualify for eligible body status can be found in VCULTURE4000.

My Brother Thinks He's a Banana / Other Provocative
- Artist: Barry Louis Polisar
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 3/9/2003
|your cart is empty
If you are discovering Barry's music for the first time, don't start with this CD! Instead we suggest 'Teachers Favorites,' 'Family Trip,' 'Old Dogs, New Tricks' or 'A Little Different.' This CD originally came out in 1977 and is for dedicated fans only - those people who grew up on this recording. The songs are edgy and some of the references are dated. Barry says he only knew four guitar chords when he recorded this album and only used three of them on the record because he didn't want to show off. We think it's off-the-wall and Barry thinks it's off-key.

I reflect over the last year and it seems like a fantasy, mostly anyway. I look at where I was a year ago and wonder WTF happened? I seemingly had it all.
Author: I am Me
And so it begins…
Yesterday was the day I listen to my heart space, reflect on the last year and look forward to the next. The first question I had to ask and answer is, "Where am I regarding relationships?" The answer was quick and simple. I'm not there yet, mainly because the effort and time it takes to build a new relationship isn't something I want/have to give right now. I'm not closed off to possibilities, just not actively looking.
"How is the healing process going?" – There are pieces of me that aren't completely healed from the last year, but I am much better than I was a few months ago. Unfortunately, a new hurt has been added, but I believe in myself and I have a wonderful support system that will help see me through.
"D/s – Kink, when will the activity begin?" – Considering how things were this time last year, it's a little bit of a struggle. I want..I desire.. to please and be pleased. If the opportunity presents itself, I will follow my heart and see what happens. I'm not opposed, those are just mighty large shoes to fill. It will take a special connection to reach that next level.
"What's next?" – Fuck if I know. A year and a day worked well for many years. Now, I think is the time to adjust the timeline. For now, I have 4 things I want to accomplish in the next six months. That's the goal.
As for the rest, I'm going to continue living my life, smiling, dancing and loving my tribe. XoXo
60 days
As the end of my commitment to me draws near, I've felt the pressure of making decisions coming my way. The weight and stress became overwhelming at times.
Then I realized that I don't have to decide anything. Yes, I have goals that I want to achieve before then, but it was the decision about relationships that is the most stressful.
The last 60 days have already shown me that many things in life can change. I change. Why am I trying to decide now what I'm going to do then?
As soon as I gave myself permission to let go of expectations that I needed to prepare for my decision, the easier I could breathe.
It made me realize that while I try not to have expectations from others, I was holding myself by a chain. This is something I need to work on, for myself, in the year of me.
Female Heartache
Throughout my life, there has been female attraction. The majority of that was women that I had known and loved for many years. They were my best friends, during different milestones of my chaotic world and wonderful things happened, but I rarely reciprocated. Usually, I was the toy and I loved that.
This year, I found two. Didn't see that coming during this poly adventure.
The Feels…
One is so young and I admire her very much. She knows exactly what she wants to do in life and is giddy about it! Adorable, smart, sexy, smiley and mischievous hotness. Our first impromptu night, we went to First St. rapids, skinny dipped and had a fabulous make out session under a full moon. It was… Yeah. Awesome. Many dates and flirting later, we danced and tossed each other against the walls while dancing, landed in bed and wrestled.
One is my Poly Dom's wife, although I see her as her own entity as well. I love watching her dance around the house. I'm so envious of the energy she has and I miss how I used to jump. Yes, we do struggle at times, but when we both let our walls down… It's beautiful. The energy is amazing between us when we let it be. It's a different attraction. Sensual. Respectful.
The not so great feels…
One, I knew was leaving within a few months of us meeting. She needs a different college for her classes and also needs to wander away from her home town. After the night we shared, things cratered and I didn't hear from her much, but we'd hang out on occasion. I wasn't invited to her going away party and that hurts. Especially when I heard about it through someone else.
One knows all and the healing process has begun and will continue. We're both sensitive now, but we'll work through it because we are friends and that's what we do.
I have never had more than a few friends at a time, throughout my life. I'm mostly happy about that because I'm selective. There are even fewer that knew me when I was a teen and I held them very close.
I've recently decided that there are things I need to stop carrying around with me, yet I'm not quite ready to never see that skin again. So, like the shrimp in my fabulous work aquarium, I'm keeping them close, but no longer carrying.
These are from my best friend, through 15-infinity. Whether we're talking or not. I've kept them since I was 17ish. The last one is my absolute favorite and I've never found another card like it.
So if you're missing an old friend, know that they cherish you too.
I love you, Amers. Always & Forever.
Becoming a Plate
I should have known there were other motives than the what I saw on the surface for this date….
I'm certain most of you have heard of the live sushi plates and while I have seen it on T.V., I had never BEEN the plate.
As I laid there naked, every limb was placed just the way he wanted it. One leg bent, to hold the ginger on my knee, while my other leg and arms were placed just so to hold the other morsels of sushi for us to enjoy. Wasabi… right in the belly button*. Oh yeah, that felt incredibly strange… and I loved it.
When everything was placed and instructions were given about not dropping our dinner, the questions began. This is the part that I didn't see coming. What is the best way to keep someone in place so they can't run from questions about past emotional traumas? Make them become a plate.
There were times when I felt the urge to just sit up and be done, I won't lie. Talking about that shit isn't easy, but I've learned during this year that he always has a purpose for asking and I can't always see what the answer is. We paused at times so I could breathe and regroup, we ate, and there was the occasional giggle over how it feels to have morsels dipped into my belly button for a touch of Wasabi.
By the end, we learned more about each other. My Poly Dom will rarely ask me things and not share his own experiences. While it made me sad to learn we have more in common than I would have wished, I also know that it makes those wonderful hugs more precious. I didn't spill our dinner, only a few tears.
*For those that care to know, the Wasabi didn't burn, just tingled a little. Although it was only there for 45min or so, my belly button was still bright red the next day. 🙂
I thought this year would be hard on me, but while I was not wrong, it's hardest on my daughter.
Over time, I became used to figuring out what we were going to do. When she was younger, we went to my Aunts' home with my mom and her family. We had some of her younger years alone and came up with our own traditions. Then I was in a LTR relationship and we went to his mom's home and had fresh crab with tons of heavy foods and love and laughter. The first year we didn't have that, we landed at an unknown place with a guy that I had just started dating. That ended up being the best Thanksgiving we had ever had. A bunch of Misfits joining together and having a great time.
Since then, we've had this holiday as a family, at various other homes with friends. This year, my child is working Thanksgiving and I'm single. While I'm nostalgic a both the past holidays, I'm doing ok. My girl isn't. She may be 18, but she's a young child in many ways. Anxiety, sadness and feelings of abandonment are setting in. Tonight was pretty damn rough.
Then she invited her guy friend over (which I hadn't met yet), I pulled out Cards Against Humanity and then she smiled.
I love her smile.

Research we're watching
Image: © namenko/Thinkstock
Do you swallow a daily multivitamin, hoping to make up for a less-than-ideal diet? Sorry, but this strategy won't stave off heart disease, according to a study published online April 5, 2017, by JAMA Cardiology.
Previous research has also failed to find convincing evidence that a daily multivitamin lowers the risk of heart disease or cancer. But these studies didn't always account for the participant's dietary habits, which could potentially skew the results. In theory, people with poor diets might reap greater benefits from vitamins than those who eat healthier diets.
The new study (which re-analyzed findings from one of the earlier reports, the Physician's Health Study II) included 13,316 men ages 50 and older. All filled out detailed diet questionnaires and were randomly assigned to take a multivitamin or placebo. After an average follow-up of 11 years, researchers found no difference in the rates of heart attacks and other serious cardiovascular events between the two groups, regardless of their baseline nutritional status. The results bolster the argument to get your nutrients from foods, not pills.

A quick recap for anyone that has patiently stuck with me: I've now looped up to 6th grade for this year, my little guy is 1 part Dennis the Menace and 1 part Momma's Boy, I have a
The last few months I've been having these fleeting thoughts, in between lesson planning and meetings, that something is missing. Something that was dear to my heart was absent, and then it hit me. I have actually been going to bed at a decent time and haven't done any late night ramblings. I've missed it. I've missed my blogger buddies. I've missed sharing my ideas on this big ol'Internet. Guess that means it is time to follow my heart and come home to my blog.
I have lots of ideas stored up to share, and I can't wait. Soon. For now though, it feels good just to be rambling and reintroducing myself.

Due to the cancellation of last Sunday's U16 County Championships, the reserve date of September 3rd (Sunday of Ladies' weekend) will now be used instead.
The CPGA have said that all entries will be carried forward, unless they are notified otherwise.
The CPGA would like to remind clubs that: "An U14 rower can row in both the U14 and U16 categories, but NOT the seniors. An U16 can row in the U16 AND the senior category, provided that common sense is used about the ability of the junior to compete in the senior race".

This morning was the year's first venture back into the garden, to dig the rest of the Jerusalem artichokes from their winter bed. I've got some kind of flu-ey bug again so the whole thing took longer than it might, what with me stumbling around weakly and tripping over my own wellington boots and, at one point, burying myself knee-deep in soil when the pile of earth I was trying to shake the tubers from collapsed around me. But now there is a huge pile of artichokes sitting under running water in the sink; some destined for my neighbours, and the rest for soup. Mmm, soup. Granted they aren't the most low calorie vegetable in the world but as far as I remember they are packed full of iron and good things.
I don't even try to calculate the calories in the batches of soup I make anyway. I've never quite worked out how to do that with CoM. This morning, because I was feeling a little better than I have been, I made a batch up with half a leek, a couple of celery stalks, onions, garlic, a tin of tomatoes and 100g of red lentils, simmered for hours and topped up with water every so often, flavoured with thyme and sage and oregano and a little chilli, cinnammon and a teaspoon of demerera sugar to balance the flavours. It was just what I needed after a morning's digging and I have 2 batches frozen and 1 more in the fridge. Today's CoM report will be incomplete because of it but considering I have been invited around next door for pizza and salad this evening, this is probably a good thing.
I've been tracking calories and nutrition again when I can. I'm not surprised by the results. Eating as I do (if I don't give into the temptation of yummy bread and evil dairy, which I tend not to do when I am eating alone), my calorie intake is low but the nutrition is high. I still need to work really hard on protein though. Yada yada...
I'm already looking forward to this year's gardening although I can't believe it's 12 months since I was planning last year's with the neighbours. We'll probably spend some time this evening making up our planting plan and sorting through the mountains of seeds we've acquired. I think I need to organise a village seed-swap. In fact, that's not a bad idea... Hmm. Must think more.
Hot lemon and honey and Saturday papers and a nap now, I think. Hope this bug buggers off soon; it's really annoying me.

I have started to lose faith in COM for soups and other from-scratch recipes that require cooking. Between evaporation and the effects of cooking on various ingredients I think that entering info for recipes into COM is better than nothing, but still just a best estimate of nutrition. I am so envious of your garden. I would love a tiny patch of land, but our apartment faces north and we don't get a minute of light on our patio. Ah, maybe some day! =)

Hey, what about throwing Quorn in your soups? That might be an easy protein fix. Drizzle a little olive oil on top and there's some fat?

YAK is the new home for our region's E-Waste Depot
If you are like most households, you probably have a few shelves full of non-functioning or obsolete electronic devices, like computers, televisions, printers, telephones, cameras, cell phones, MP3 players, stereo equipment, or other unwanted electronic waste. You don't want to throw them out, because they contain valuable metals, as well as some hazardous products that contaminate landfills. But where can you take them to be safely recycled and disposed of?
The Youth Action Kommittee of Perth & District (YAK) is excited to be partnering with Garbage Gofer and SHIFT Recycling on the establishment of an electronic waste depot in Perth. Starting June 21st, YAK will accept small amounts (car loads or less) of electronic waste at their Youth Centre at 1 Sherbrooke Street East, in the old Perth Shoe factory just across from the Shandex manufacturing facility (formerly Perth Soap).
Your unwanted electronic materials can be brought in during YAK's regular operating hours, Monday to Friday from 2:00 to 7:00pm. PLEASE, do not bring or drop off material outside of those hours – it is essential that staff or volunteers from YAK are on hand to help unload and ensure the materials are in fact acceptable. If people just drop of materials, it will put the entire program at risk.
So what happens with the collected material? YAK has worked out an arrangement with Garbage Gofer to pick up the collected material on a regular basis and bring it to their facility on Conlon Drive, where they will sort the material, and prepare it for shipping via tractor trailers. Shift Recycling is the approved Ontario Electronic Stewardship (OES) primary processor that will pick up the sorted and palletized materials from Garbage Gofer. The whole program is funded by OES, which gets in revenues in pert from Environmental Handling Fees on new electronic products.
Electronics contain precious and base metals that can be recovered through recycling at processing facilities. A good example of how these metals get reused is the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic medals, which contain recycled metal from electronic waste.
More than a carload? Contact Garbage Gofer's Rick White at 613 812 5128 to arrange a time when truck loads of e-waste can be taken directly to Garbage Gofer's Perth facility. Area residents and businesses can also arrange for pick-up service with Garbage Gofer. A small fee will be charged for pick up service. Rick is also looking into the possibility of offering once a month Saturday morning collection events – stay tuned for details and dates.
The great news is that this is truly a win-win initiative. YAK wins, because they get paid per tonne for all e-waste collected. They also get to involve some of their youth participants in helping to unload and organize materials, and area residents get to see the YAK facilities, participants and staff.
Garbage Gofer is a private sector business that gets paid for their value added sorting and packing, which helps them grow their business of junk removal, clean up, renovations, and metal and appliance recycling. The program also allows the White family to continue to give back to the community.
Local landfills win, as this program will ensure that many tonnes of valuable materials do not end up in area landfill sites. Since some electronics contain potentially hazardous materials will be safely recycled or disposed of the environment wins too. All collected materials are re-processed, recycled and/or safely disposed of here in North America, so this also ensures that materials do not end up oversees where they can create potential health and safety issues.

Ahead of the first trailer launch later tonight, Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios have premiered both a new photo from "Spider-Man: Homecoming" and shared new details about the film.
Tom Holland stars in the film which is described as a coming-of-age story in which Peter Parker attends his high school for gifted kids, trying to impress his new benefactor Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) whilst dealing with the machinations of the Vulture (Michael Keaton).
Holland tells USA Today that the film is: "more a character piece about this kid who's struggling to talk to girls and also struggling to save the city… This is really a movie where Spider-Man's not the finished article. He really does learn and he makes massive mistakes. It's nice to see a kid do that and then try to rectify those mistakes."
Holland also says our first glimpse of Keaton's villain is going to be memorable: "The first time we see the Vulture is terrifying. It's like a horror movie: really scary, very intense and shocking." Director Jon Watts adds: "It's fun to think that if Spider-Man is a regular kid who becomes a superhero, there's got to be a bunch of regular guys who become supervillains, too."
Marisa Tomei, Jon Favreau, Zendaya, Logan Marshall-Green and Kenneth Choi also star in the film which opens July 7th.
