February 19, 2005, is the 63rd anniversary of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's signing Executive Order 9066, 7 Fed. Reg. 1407 (Feb. 25, 1942), which led to the internment of more than 110,000 Japanese-Americans. The Librarians' Index to the Internet observes the anniversary by linking to websites documenting that time in our history.

Dear EarthTalk: Isn't the interest in electric cars and plug-in hybrids going to spur increased reliance on coal as a power source? And is that really any better than gasoline/oil in terms of environmental impact? — Graham Rankin, via e-mail
It's true that the advent of electric cars is not necessarily a boon for the environment if it means simply trading our reliance on one fossil fuel—oil, from which gasoline is distilled—for an even dirtier one: coal, which is burned to create electricity.
The mining of coal is an ugly and environmentally destructive process. And, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) burning the substance in power plants sends some 48 tons of mercury—a known neurotoxin—into Americans' air and water every year (1999 figures, the latest year for which data are available). Furthermore, coal burning contributes some 40 percent of total U.S. carbon dioxide emissions. The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) estimates that coal mining and burning cause a whopping $62 billion worth of environmental damage every year in the U.S. alone, not to mention its profound impact on our health.
Upwards of half of all the electricity in the U.S. is derived from coal, while the figure is estimated to be around 70 percent in China. As for Europe, the United Kingdom gets more than a third of its electricity from coal, while Italy plans to double its consumption of coal for electricity production within five years to account for some 33 percent of its own electricity needs.
Several other countries in Europe, where green sentiment runs deep but economics still rule the roost, are also stockpiling coal and building more power plants to burn it in the face of an ever-increasing thirst for cheap and abundant electricity.
On top of this trend, dozens of electric and plug-in hybrid cars are in the works from the world's carmakers. It stands to reason that, unless we start to source significant amounts of electricity from renewables (solar, wind, etc.), coal-fired plants will not only continue but may actually increase their discharges of mercury, carbon dioxide and other toxins due to greater numbers of electric cars on the road.
Some analysts expect that existing electricity capacity in the U.S. may be enough to power America's electric cars in the near future, but don't rule out the possibility of new coal plants (or new nuclear power plants) coming on line to fill the gap if we don't make haste in developing alternate sources for generating electrical energy. And while proponents of energy efficiency believe we can go a long way by making our electric grids "smarter" through the use of monitoring technologies that can dole out power when it is most plentiful and cheap (usually the middle of the night), others doubt that existing capacity will be able to handle the load placed on even an intelligent "smart grid" distribution network.
Environmentalists—as well as many politicians and policymakers—maintain that the only viable, long-term solution is to spur on the development of renewable energy sources. Not long ago, the concept of an all-electric car charged up by solar power or some other form of clean renewable energy was nothing but a pipe dream. Today, though, such a scenario is within the realm of the possible, but only if everyone does their part to demand that our utilities bring more green power on line.

Dear EarthTalk: Are there any health hazards associated with the use of the new silicone bake ware and cooking utensils? I have found information associated with the hazards/benefits of Teflon and other cookware but nothing on the use of silicone. — Jean McCarthy, Sebastian, FL
With all the negative press about Teflon and about metals leaching out of pots and pans, consumers are on the lookout for cookware that's easy-to-clean and doesn't pose health concerns. Silicone, a synthetic rubber made of bonded silicon (a natural element abundant in sand and rock) and oxygen, is increasingly filling this niche. The flexible yet strong material, which has proven popular in muffin pans, cupcake liners, spatulas and other utensils, can go from freezer to oven (up to 428 degrees Fahrenheit), is non-stick and stain-resistant, and unlike conventional cookware, comes in a range of bright and cheery colors.
But some wonder if there is dark side to silicone cookware. Anecdotal reports of dyes or silicone oil oozing out of overheated silicone cookware pop up on Internet posts, as do reports of odors lingering after repeated washings. Also, silicone's image may be forever tainted by problems associated with silicone gel breast implants—some women with earlier generations of these implants experienced capsular contracture, an abnormal immune system response to foreign materials. And while theories about silicone implants' link to breast cancer have since been debunked, the damage to silicone's reputation lives on.
It's sad to say, but since the use of silicone in cookware is fairly new, there has not been much research into its safety for use with food. Back in 1979 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) determined that silicon dioxides—the basic elements in silicone cookware—were generally recognized as safe to use even in food-grade contexts. But the first silicone cookware (silicone spatulas) didn't start to show up on store shelves until a decade later, and the FDA hasn't conducted any follow-up studies to determine whether silicone can leach out of cookware and potentially contaminate food. For its part, Canada's health agency, Health Canada, maintains that food-grade silicone does not react with food or beverages or produce any hazardous fumes, and as such is safe to use up to recommended temperatures.
Consumer advocate Debra Lynn Dadd, who steers clear of Teflon due to health concerns, is bullish on silicone cookware after investigating potential toxicity. "I tried to find some information on the health effects of silicone rubber, but it was not listed in any of the toxic chemical databases I use," she reports, adding that she also sampled material safety data on several silicone rubbers manufactured by Dow Corning (which makes some 700 variations). "All descriptions I read of silicone rubber describe it as chemically inert and stable, so it is unlikely to react with or leach into food, nor outgas vapors." She adds that silicone "is not toxic to aquatic or soil organisms, it is not hazardous waste, and while it is not biodegradable, it can be recycled after a lifetime of use."
So while most of us will probably not have a problem with silicone cookware, those with chemical sensitivities might want to stay away until more definitive research has been conducted. In the meantime, cast iron and anodized aluminum cookware remain top choices for those concerned about harmful elements leaching into their cooked foods.

I looked in my cookbooks for an easy Chicken and Dumpling recipe. When I was younger, I loved eating chicken and dumpling soup. We would have it from a restaurant named Mary's in Appleton when visiting my grandparents, and I would have it up north during the summer as well at all the different restaurants we would go to. It is one of my favorite soups.
The recipe I found was not quite a soup - almost more so a stew! But it was delish and easy!
I found teh recipe in my cookbook "Biggest Book of Slow Cooker Recipes" - this recipe happened to actually fall in it's "One-Dish Dinner" chapter. The slow cooker is not needed.
Here is the recipe:
Creamy Chicken & Dumplings
1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
12 oz skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-in pieces
2 Tbsp butter
1 Stalk Celery, sliced
1 Medium Carrot, chopped
1 Onion, cut into wedges
1 1/4 cups Chicken Broth
1 10 3/4 ox can condensed cream of chicken with herbs soup
1/8 tsp pepper
1 4.5 oz package of buttermilk biscuits (6)
1 cup frozen peas
1) Place flour in a plastic bag. Add chicken pieces and shake until coated. In large saucepan cook chicken, celery, carrot and onion in hot butter for 2 to 3 minutes or until chicken is brown. Stir in broth, condensed soup, and pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, about 20 minutes or until chicken and veggies are tendered.
2) Meanwhile, separate biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters. Stir peas into chicken mixture; return to boiling. Place biscuit pieces on top of chicken mixture Simmer, covered, over medium-low heat 10 to 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center of biscuit comes out clean. Serve in bowls.
** Side Notes; I used one of our Le Creusets for the cooking of this dish and it turned out awesome. Also the biscuits will expand when they are placed in the liquid and boil - so don't worry - they are done and delicious!
This was a really great dinner and Zachary loved it! It was perfect for a cold winter day!
Happy Dumplings!
xoxo Sarah

I've been wanting to make this one for awhile now. The temperatures here in ND are chilly, and I mean chilly. We hit 10 degrees today and practically broke out the shorts and flip flops! I thought this poncho would add some extra warmth without adding a lot of bulk, which is an important consideration for tots in car seats. With the poncho, you can lift up the back of the poncho so the kid's back is against the car seat, and lift up the front to do the buckles. When you put the front back down, there is no part of the poncho under the seatbelt straps!
I give the directions for a toddler-sized poncho, but you could modify it to make a bigger or smaller one. I think this one could work for a range of ages, maybe 1-5 or so. Seams are 1/4 in.
1 1/2 yds. fleece (to make the hood and poncho the same color)
1 1/4 yds. fleece for poncho and 1/3 yd. fleece for hood
sewing machine or serger, pins, scissors, etc.
Let's begin! Lay your fleece out on a flat surface. Shoo all small children and cats off the fleece. You need a perfect square, so fold down one corner so one side matches up to the bottom side to make a triangle. Cut off the extra fleece so you have your square.
There's the cut triangle. The point is on the left, and the cut side on the right.
A basic circle. If you will not be serging your edge (there's no need, since fleece doesn't unravel), trim the edge to make it more perfect.
I had Sprite try on this bowl to get a good idea of how big I need to make the center hole. Fleece stretches, you don't need as big a hole as you might think. The bowl is 7 in. in diameter, but I reccomend using soemthing 6 in. in diameter. My hole was a little bigger than I would have liked.
Cut out the hole:
Fold your hood fabric in half so you will be cutting through 2 layers of fabric.
Make your hood pattern. The bottom should be about 11 inches across, and the height about 13 in. (I made my hood big, so a hat could fit underneath and the hood would still be loose. If you want a more snug fitting hood, don't make it as tall). This is not an exact science, so freehand something that has the above measurements and looks like this:

He was an early radical liberal Premier of South Australia serving from 1893 to 1899 with the support of Labor led by John McPherson from 1893 and Lee Batchelor from 1897 in the House of Assembly, winning the 1893, 1896 and 1899 colonial elections against the conservatives. He was a leading proponent of and contributed extensively on the Federation of Australia, and was elected to the federal House of Representatives with the most votes amongst the seven elected in the single statewide Division of South Australia at the 1901 election, serving under the Protectionist Party, going on to represent the Division of Adelaide at the 1903 election. A radical liberal in state politics, his government introduced such progressive measures as: electoral reform including the first law to give votes to women in Australia (and second in the world only to New Zealand), a legitimation Act, the first conciliation and arbitration Act in Australia, establishment of a state bank, a high protective tariff, regulation of factories, a progressive system of land and income taxation,[1] a public works programme, and more extensive workers' compensation.[2]
Early life[edit]
Kingston was born in Adelaide, the son of Sir George Kingston, a Protestant Irish-born surveyor, architect and landowner in the early days of British settlement in South Australia and later a member of the first Parliament of South Australia. His mother, Ludovina Cameron, was of Portuguese descent. George Kingston boasted that he was "the first Irishman to set foot in the colony"[3] and it is true that the Kingstons were among Adelaide's founding families. Charles was educated at the Adelaide Educational Institution (schoolmate S. J. Magarey was born just one day later than him) and served his articles with Sir Samuel Way, Adelaide's leading lawyer and later Attorney-General of South Australia. He was called to the bar in 1873,[4] despite the objection of the elder brother of his future wife, Lucy May McCarthy on the grounds of Kingston's alleged seduction of her. He became a QC in 1889.[1][5]
In 1873 Kingston married Lucy McCarthy. Lucy was an invalid for much of her life and they had no children. In a remarkable gesture, however, Lucy took in a child, Kevin Kingston, whom Kingston had fathered with another woman, Elizabeth Watson, in 1883. As a result of this scandal, Kingston was ostracised by Adelaide "society," his contempt for whom he never troubled to conceal. Kevin died in 1902.[6]
Kingston and his older brother Strickland Gough "Pat" Kingston (1848 - 3 October 1897) formed a business partnership Kingston & Kingston in 1879 which they dissolved in July 1884. S. G. Kingston was a brilliant lawyer, but unstable. He was jailed for the gunshot wounding of a cabdriver in June 1884[7] and killed himself after losing an important case in Port Augusta.[8]
Kingston had a passion for Australian rules football in South Australia; he helped formulate its code and was President of the South Australian Football Club.[9]
Colonial politics[edit]
In April 1881 Kingston was elected to the South Australian House of Assembly as a radical liberal for the seat of West Adelaide. He favoured reform of the Legislative Council (which was dominated by wealthy landowners) and other radical reforms. He was described by William Maloney as the originator of the White Australia Policy, although this policy was supported by virtually all Australian politicians at the time of federation.[1]
Kingston was Attorney-General of South Australia 1884-85 in the government of John Colton and again in 1887-89 in the government of Tom Playford. In 1893 he succeeded Playford as leader of the South Australian liberals and defeated conservative Premier John Downer to become Premier 1893-99, a record at the time of six and a half years, not to be broken until Thomas Playford IV, as well as Chief Secretary and Attorney-General, and also Minister for Industry 1895-99. Kingston came to office with the support of a new third party, the South Australian division of the Labor Party led by John McPherson, which held the balance of power. A big, imposing man with a full beard, a booming voice and a violent, cutting debating style, Kingston dominated the small world of South Australian colonial politics in the 1890s. He was a great hero to liberals and working class voters, and much hated by conservatives. In 1892, Richard Baker called him a "coward, a bully and a disgrace to the legal profession" in the Legislative Council and Kingston replied by calling Baker "false as a friend, treacherous as a colleague, mendacious as a man, and utterly untrustworthy in every relationship of public life". Kingston arranged for a duel but Baker had him arrested and as a result Kingston was bound over to keep the peace for a year.[1]
Kingston had not supported votes for women at the 1893 elections but he was subsequently persuaded by his ministerial colleagues, John Cockburn and Frederick Holder of its political advantages and lobbied by the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Women's suffrage in Australia took a leap forward – enacted in 1895 and taking effect from this election, South Australia was the first in Australia and only the second in the world after New Zealand to allow women to vote, and the first in the world to allow women to stand for election.[10]
Kingston's government also established the state bank of South Australia, regulated factories, imposed death duties and increased land tax and progressive income taxes.[1][5]
When Tom Buxton was appointed Governor of South Australia, Kingston was angry that the government had not been involved in the decision about who should be the new Governor, so made life as hard as possible for Buxton and his family. The governor's allowance was reduced and customs duty was charged on their household items (including his wife's invalid carriage).
A leading supporter of Federation, Kingston was a delegate to the Constitutional Conventions of 1891 and 1897-98 which worked to draft an Australian Constitution. In 1897 he travelled to London for the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria, where he was made a Privy Councillor and awarded an honorary Doctor of Civil Laws degree by Oxford University. He also turned down the offer of a knighthood, to the distress of his wife. While there he lobbied senior British politicians in favour of Australian federation.[1]
In 1899 Kingston's government was defeated in the House on a bill relating to the reform of the Legislative Council, leading to Kingston's resignation as Premier. By this time, however, he was more interested in federal politics, as the six Australian colonies moved towards federation. He was a leading figure in the popular movement for federation, and in 1900 he travelled to London with Edmund Barton and Alfred Deakin to oversee the passage of the federation bill through the Parliament of the United Kingdom.[1]
The Liberal and Democratic Union would not be formed until the 1906 election.
Federal politics[edit]
When the Constitution came into effect on 1 January 1901, Barton formed the first federal ministry, and Kingston was appointed Minister for Trade and Customs. In March 1901 he was elected as one of seven statewide members of the Division of South Australia in the first Australian House of Representatives. Kingston topped the poll with 65% of the vote. South Australia was not divided into electoral divisions in time for the election. In 1903 he became the first member for the Division of Adelaide.[1] His Central District seat in the Legislative Council was won by George Brookman.
Kingston was a "high protectionist": he favoured very high tariffs to protect Australia's fledgling manufacturing industries. Most of his time as minister was spent negotiating a customs bill through both houses of the Parliament since no one party had a majority in either House and the forces of the Free Trade Party resisted his bill at every stage. Negotiating with his opponents was not among Kingston's many talents, and his bullying style made him many enemies. He also insisted on involving himself in the administrative details of his department and insisted on prosecutions of businesses to enforce his high-tariff policies.[1]
In July 1903, Kingston resigned suddenly in a fit of anger due to the opposition of John Forrest and Edmund Barton to his attempt to impose conciliation and arbitration on British and foreign seamen engaged in the Australian coastal trade. He never held office again, and although Labor offered him a position in Chris Watson's ministry, he turned this down, presumably because of ill health. He remained as Member for Adelaide, being allowed to run unopposed at both the 1903 and 1906 elections.[1][5]
Kingston died in Adelaide of a sudden stroke in May 1908 and was buried at the local West Terrace Cemetery, survived by his increasingly eccentric wife.[1] An Adelaide by-election was held to elect a new MP. The Division of Kingston is named after him.
Kingston's body was exhumed in March 2008, nearly 100 years after his death, because two people thought they may be his direct descendants from an illegitimate child of his.[11] It is claimed that Kingston was ostracised by Adelaide society for his sexual indiscretions,[12][13] having fathered at least six illegitimate children.[14][15]

text: I apologize to everyone if I advanced to quickly last week I had not heard from Lars, whatupguy, or theflyest (cr1me), so to keep everyone interested in the league and keep it moving, I took it upon myself to advance. Those were the only 3 that did not play the week before, or last week, so I just decided to advance. Again, I apologize. I just want to keep everyone active and involved in it so everyone's interest level will stay in the league. Life outside of the game should come first, and the game should not even be thought of during family events, or anything in your life. I appreciate the messages people are posting that they will be away. However, I know emergencies come up, and there is nothing you can do. Apparently Lars had a family emergency, and I apologized to him for advancing. I just thought, at the time, without knowing he had a family emergency, it was the best idea. I hold nothing against him for not posting or anything because like I said, emergencies happen and this is just a game, so I wouldn't even think twice about the game.


text: With the Internet, you can gain access to the world every day. This week, plenty happened around the world while I tried unsuccessfully to make a batch of apple jelly. From the Irish News, I learned that 20 harpists gathered to protest a new highway. I've never seen 20 harpists at once anywhere. Another 1,000 protesters lay down to form an aerial-view image of a harp. The Warsaw Voice reported on a group of defrocked Polish nuns barricaded in a convent for two years. On Oct. 10, the ex-nuns will be evicted. Meanwhile, in Myanmar, Buddhist monks protested against the military government. Normally, apolitical monks marched by the thousands to protest government assault of brother monks after they spoke out against rising fuel costs. Now the government may confront them. A sticky situation. The Toronto Star examined a private Islamic school seeking to become a Canadian public school. The school boasts well-mannered students and excellent academics. But the sexes are segregated, and Arabic and Koranic studies swallow up morning recess time and shorten the lunch hour. Would such issues become a problem if the school became public? "100 pythons a year dumped across border" announced a headline in the South China Morning Post. I don't want to know more. From China News, I learn that Shanghai will host a millionaire dating party where beautiful women will bid on 20 young Chinese millionaires. Let me call you sweetheart - for the 58,000 yuan ($7,800) price of admission. How sweet. The poll on a Nigerian newspaper's site asks if the government is doing enough to stem assassinations and kidnappings. Aren't you glad the poll question last week in the Aberdeen News was on liquor licenses? In TV cartoons, a safe teeters from an upper window, and the character below gazes at his reflection in a store window. He straightens his bow tie and never knows what hits him until he is a flat circle on the sidewalk. America seems like that cartoon character sometimes, so preoccupied with Britney Spears' waistline, or current football standings, that it can't drag itself away from its own reflection to view the wider world. Why, though, should we be interested in a Paris riot, when France is so far away? Who cares if Israel recently discovered North Korean nuclear material in Syria? How can that affect me? My lawn needs raking. When you read news from other countries, you know the world better, and you know yourself better. You enhance your appreciation of political, religious and cultural currents in the world. You see how widespread or limited some cultural practices are. Sometimes the only way to find out what's going on in one country is to read about it from a different country's press. In the South Africa Cape Times I discovered - sigh - a story on Britney Spears, but also a story about a Bavarian politician who wants marriage in Germany to automatically expire after seven years. A Caribbean news outlet reports that Canadian gay organizations are trying to stop two reggae groups' concerts in Canada over anti-gay lyrics. The Dubai-based Khaleej Times mentions that a rebel group is threatening to attack Nigeria's oil refineries and kidnap foreign workers. Nigeria produces quite a bit of oil. In May, saboteurs managed to cut Nigerian oil production by nearly a third. World events may not seem as exciting as last week's game, but they might be more important in the long run. My apple jelly never gelled. I'm hoping, though, that my understanding of the world will firm up slightly, if I keep in tune with world events. Donna Marmorstein writes and lives in Aberdeen.

Angels are all around us: beautiful, awe-inspiring, irresistible.
Ordinary mortals yearn to catch a glimpse of one of these stunning beings and thousands flock to The Church of Angels to feel their healing touch.
But what if their potent magnetism isn't what it seems?
Willow knows she's different from other girls. And not just because she loves tinkering around with cars.
Willow has a gift. She can look into people's futures, know their dreams, their hopes and their regrets, just by touching them. But she has no idea where she gets this power from.
Until she meets Alex…
Alex is one of the few who know the truth about angels. He knows Willow's secret and is on a mission to stop her.
The dark forces within Willow make her dangerous – and irresistible.
In spite of himself, Alex finds he is falling in love with his sworn enemy
I read the UK version, but it's published under Angel Burn in the US. This series was highly recommended to me by two really good friends. Since all three of us have similiar tastes in books I assumed I would love this book. Turns out I didn't.
It started off interesting. I like the twist it took on angels, they aren't the good guys. It's something original. We are immediately introduced to the two main characters, Alex and Willow. Alex is an Angel Killer and has been his whole life. The CIA has taken over the operation and instead of working into groups, they work alone and they get a text from angel spotters for their next target. Willow has always known she was different; for one she's psychic, but she would of never imagined that she's half angel. Alex has been given orders to take out Willow, but he can tell she's not a full angel and doesn't hurt anyone. It's not long before they end up on the run and have the whole Church looking for them. When the only person that Alex can trust in the world turns on him, they have no place left to run.
I was a little taken back with the different POVs in the book, especially for a YA. Don't get me wrong I really like it, but I thought it was odd that Willow's POV was first person and everyone else was third person. Would of made more sense just to have everyone third person. I do have to say I read the book rather quickly for one end up not really liking. The beginning had just enough for me to stay interested, and then I had nothing else to do so I forced myself to keep reading. I did read the UK version though, I don't think it had much of an impact since I've read UK books before. But for a book that set in America and sounds Americans I would of thought it would have less of an UK influence. There were a few phrases that threw me off. And I'm used to most of the words spelled differently, but there were a few that I've never seen spelled like that before and took me a few minutes to figure out what it's suppose to be.
The middle is where I found myself bored to death. My first impression was that Willow and Alex fell in love with each other too soon, but then the more I thought about it the more sense it made. Which I really did love Alex and Alex and Willow. I just found their time in the cabin was pointless and boring. It did kind of pick up towards the end, but nothing to leave me speechless. Some of the twists you can see coming a mile before it's revealed.
I think the biggest thing that turned me off on the book is the Church. I'm fairly religious and I have no problem in reading books where it doesn't exist or the Church is something else entirely (like in Downside Ghosts by Stacia Kane), but in this religion still exist. But instead of worshiping God, it's the angels. They just swapped God for the angels. I'm sorry but I couldn't get into it.
At the end of the day it wasn't a bad book. But at the end it didn't leave me anxious to see what happens next.
Rating: 2.5/5

HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY TO MY ELDEST BRO TOMORROW!! I love you Nans! You don't look a day over 20. ;) Have an amazing day.
Also, Happy Birthday to Aunt Lisa on Friday!! Love you lots!
This week was AWESOME. Although I do have some bad news....Unfortunately after a long stretch of a perfect driving record, I got an aggressive driving on the TiWi in the car. This device tells you if you drive too fast, turn too sharp, stop too fast, etc. Sooo, apparently I was driving too aggressively. Sister Puruganan could not stop laughing after it happened, which made me laugh, so now we just laugh about it. Don't worry, it won't affect anything. :)
We found such a sweet new investigator this week, Tom! We met Tom through Courtwright (the one who always feeds us, isn't a member). Tom came to church with Cortwright two weeks ago, and we started teaching him this week. He came to church again yesterday and loved it. He is one of the most open and sincere people I've ever been blessed to teach. He hasn't set a baptismal date yet, although he is pretty much prepared and could get baptized very quickly. So we'll see how it goes!
Jim....Miracles never cease my friends! We taught the Plan of Salvation to him and his wife on Thursday night. I can't express the love that was in that room. After the lesson was over, Brother Leavens practically bore his testimony to us. He expressed that he still isn't sure what he is going to do as far as joining the church, but then he added - "One day, if I don't join the church, I'll probably wish I listened to you two." (He said this with a huge grin on his face). Love him!
Hope....Didn't come to church again. Bless her heart. She keeps all of the commitments, but then something comes up so that she can't come to church. We'll see what happens with her.
I mowed a lawn for one of the elderly sisters in the branch. It was so much fun. But man, allergies. Enough said.
We have an entire trout in our fridge right now....long story....but yeah we'll be good on food for the week! Haha, I'm falling in love with seafood, thanks to my dear companion.
Sister Puruganan and I decided that we needed some change, so we rearranged our entire apartment the other night. It is sooo much better. It feels like a whole new place. I love it. Change is a good thing!
James is doing awesome! He is reading the Book of Mormon from the beginning. He said he was reading in 1 Nephi 11 when it talks about the Holy Ghost being in the form of a dove, and then he told us about how soon after his baptism, he was sitting in his room looking out the window, and there was a dove on one of the trees staring at him. Chills! That was before he received the Holy Ghost. Isn't that so cool? After our lesson with James when he was saying the closing prayer, I cheated and opened my eyes to look at him. The physical difference in him is apparent, and I know I've mentioned it before. He doesn't even look like the same person. He is glowing....So grateful for him.
This week I experienced so many tender mercies and confirmations from the Spirit that I am exactly where I need to be. In the lessons with Tom and Jim I felt the most inner happiness that is hard to be described. It's a happiness that doesn't come overnight, but comes because of a relationship with my Savior. How grateful I am for the love that He shows to me each day. I know that Heavenly Father hears and answers prayers, often through other people.
In regards to the title of my email this week - this was a quote given in General Conference in April. Isn't it so true though? I find that so many of the less actives that we visit don't come to church because they feel either it takes too much time or they don't want the commitment. Not necessarily only with church, but with simple things like reading the scriptures. What they don't realize is that all of these things are not meant to weigh us down, but give us freedom. I just love that quote.
I wanted to finish off this email with a scripture in John 21:15-17.
"So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs"
"He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep."
"He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep."
I love you all, more than you'll ever know!

The objective of this module is to provide information and generate discussion about ethical issues associated with long-term health care and health care provided outside of a traditional hospital setting.The main categories of issues addressed are as follows:
Nursing Homes
Assisted Living Facilities
Home Health Care
Nursing homes provide extended nursing, personal, or custodial care for individuals requiring those services because of their illness, physical infirmity, or advanced age .Nursing homes are not the primary care facility for individuals who have acute illness. Typically, nursing home residents are unable to live independently .Residents often need assistance with day-to-day activities like bathing, getting dressed, eating, and washing their clothes. In general, nursing homes must obtain a license from a licensing agency in order to operate. A description of and guidelines for Florida nursing homes are contained within Florida Statute Chapter 400-Part II.
One area of ethical concern regarding nursing homes relates to resident privacy. A nursing home is unlike a traditional home setting. The hospital-like environment of a nursing home can make residents feel as though their autonomy has eroded. Typical complains among residents include that they have lost control over everyday matters such as what they will wear, eat, and watch on television.Such perceived loss of control or autonomy can contribute to depression and feelings of helplessness. Further, residents might be asked to follow a schedule that is set for them by the nursing home, which can upset their regular routine. This can make the adjustment for a new nursing home resident rather difficult. Residents might also feel that they lack privacy if they are required to share bedrooms, bathrooms, and common areas. Limitations on privacy can interfere with the resident's ability to maintain control over life activities such as with whom they will socialize and whether they will be sexually active.
Quality of care in nursing homes raises several ethical issues. There can be conflicts between nursing home residents and staff members concerning what constitutes appropriate care. At times, the nursing home staff might misperceive or misinterpret a resident's desires.This can occur if the decision-making capacity of a disabled elderly resident fluctuates, the staff's attempts to determine the resident's wishes. Grief, confusion, and/or the use of certain medications, for example, can temporarily interfere with a resident's ability to make a decision. Further, if the staff is not attentive enough to a resident's condition, they might assume that the resident is not capable of making decisions, when in fact the person is capable of doing so. A resident might struggle with making a financial decision, for example, but maintain the ability to make a decision about his/her health care.
The issues of neglect and abuse are important ones to raise when discussing nursing homes. Nursing home residents tend to be a rather vulnerable population because of age, illness, and finances.At times, residents have been taken advantage of, ignored, and abused by nursing home staff. Further, there is concern that neglect and abuse might be underreported because residents fear that their care will be detrimentally affected if they voice their complaints. Thus, the monitoring of nursing homes is crucially important. Alternatively, there have also been cases where residents have abused nursing home staff both physically and verbally. Depression, grief, and confusion, for example, might cause a resident to mistreat a staff member.
1) If losing autonomy is a significant concern amongst nursing home residents, what can be done to avoid this problem?A concerted effort should be put forward by nursing home staff and family members to ensure that residents are given the opportunity to voice their wishes and to continue to make decisions that they are capable of making. Further, many elderly residents might not be capable of significantly modifying their daily routine. Thus, if the nursing home environment can be altered to accommodate residents, such as changing a mealtime or lowering a bed, this might help to maintain the feeling that they have some level of control over their own lives.
2) Can an elderly patient be admitted involuntarily into a nursing home? A patient should not be admitted into a nursing home until appropriate consent has been obtained from that individual or from his/her surrogate decision-maker.At times, elderly patients have been admitted into nursing homes under ambiguous circumstances.For example, families have admitted their elderly relatives into nursing homes without a surrogate decision-maker being explicitly appointed. In general, this type of practice should not be permitted.

An assisted living facility provides housing in a residential setting for individuals who need limited health care monitoring.An assisted living facility usually provides meals and personal services for extended periods of time. Assisted living facilities are often located in buildings, private homes, or other residential facilities. A description of and guidelines for assisted living facilities in Florida are contained within Florida Statute Chapter 400-Part III.
An assisted living facility might allow tenants to exert a greater level of control over their daily activities than they would have in other settings like a nursing home. Tenants often decide how their living space will be arranged and can have a fair amount of flexibility in determining an eating schedule.Some assisted living facilities have small kitchens in the tenant's apartments. Further, since many assisted living tenants have an apartment to themselves, they might have a stronger sense of privacy and autonomy.
1) How does a nursing home differ from an assisted living facility in terms of the medical services provided?In general, nursing homes provide a greater range of health care services than an assisted living facility would. An assisted living facility is geared toward providing non-medical services instead of offering extensive health care services.
2) Why would an elderly individual reside in a nursing home instead of an assisted living facility? This could depend on the medical needs of the individual.If extensive medical services are needed, a nursing home might be a more appropriate option. Further, economic considerations are also a major factor that can affect the decision. Depending on the elderly person's financial status, health insurance plan, and Medicare guidelines, a nursing home might be a more feasible option than an assisted living facility.

To an increasing degree, elderly individuals are receiving health care in their own homes or places of residence. Frequently, family members provide this type of care.In-home care can also be provided by a home health agency (HHA), which is an organization that provides health care staff, services, and supplies to the homes of individuals.An HHA typically must be recognized by the relevant state before it can operate. A description of and guidelines for home health agencies in Florida are contained within Florida Statute Chapter 400-Part IV.
The main benefit of home health care is that ill individuals can receive the health care that they require while staying in a familiar environment, which may improve the chances of recovery.This arrangement can help to maintain the person's independence and sense of identity.By staying close to familiar possessions, family, friends, and neighbors, this could minimize the disruption within the person's life.
Drawbacks to home health care include that it may be profoundly difficult to find suitable and qualified help.The stress of providing care in a person's private home has lead to a high turnover rate amongst home care staff.Also, a home care provider might be reluctant to take on a new client depending on where that person lives, the type of needs he/she has, and the amount of work hours that will be expected. Further, although home health care may have been seen as a way to keep health care costs down, it is not clear that money will be saved over a more community-like setting such as nursing home.
Some elderly individuals who require in-home help have not received that care and attention that they need. Since individuals who require in-home help can be especially vulnerable, because they might lack mobility for example, home care staff might be tempted to take advantage of a client.They might overcharge for the number of hours actually worked or fail to show up at a scheduled time. Since there are not as many staff members around to monitor neglect and abuse as there would be in a more community-like setting, there is more of a burden on the individual client to report misconduct.
1) What are the potential drawbacks to having a family member provide in-home care to an ill relative?The responsibility for providing care can be very taxing emotionally, psychologically, and physically for family members.The amount of stress that providing care can cause varies greatly depending on the nature, severity, and duration of the illness.For instance, if a family member has a progressive debilitating illness like Alzheimer's disease, the caretaker might feel that providing care interferes with his/her ability to maintain a personal life. Further, determining whether the caretaker should receive payment for providing care could potentially lead to conflict between family members.
2) What kinds of measures are in place to prevent neglect and abuse in home care settings? Each state puts forward a variety of provisions regulating home health care practices in order to prevent misconduct.For instance, the state of Florida has established rules for minimum standards of care, for inspections of home care facilities, and for screening of home health staff.

I have recently upgraded my old Asterisk PBX (5+ years), and went with FreePBX. Generally everything went well, and I have a working system again.
One problem that I can't seem to resolve is that my inbound numbers are presented differently for my 2 trunks (2talk and Telecom). For Telecom, the leading '0' is removed (mobile/national calls), but it is there for the 2talk trunk calls. I would like them to all have the leading '0' as I did before. Actually, it doesn't matter if the '0' is there or not, as long as it is consistent between the 2 trunks.
I looked in my old asterisk config, and see that I had an explicit rule to prepend a '0' but in FreePBX, there does not appear to be an option to change the inbound number presented, only outbound.
Should I just edit the FreePBX generated configs manually? Can someone point me in the right direction?

1) McLaren have a better car but still make poor calls
A dejected-looking Jenson Button finished 14th and said: "I don't think we did a good job today in terms of making the right calls – probably the worst from us for a few races. But we've learned from that and we won't make them again." He added: "We put the supersoft [tyres] on at the end of the race when everyone else put the back-up ones on. We shouldn't have done that. But we got unlucky with the red flag. I was very happy that Fernando [Alonso] was safe and sound but it destroyed our race, for both our cars." But he remained upbeat when he said: "Going to Bahrain we have a few upgrades and a better understanding of the tyres, so we're looking for a much better result."
2) Jolyon Palmer is the real deal
The rookie Renault driver, who finished an impressive 11th in his first race, was expected to come off second best against his more experienced team-mate, Kevin Magnussen. But he was the more impressive in both qualifying and race mode, showing doggedness and aggression. He said: "I was pretty happy with it. I was really zoned in for the weekend. We really maximised what the car was capable of in qualy and the race. To be wheel to wheel with Fernando Alonso for part of it, and Valtteri Bottas and the two Torro Rossos, and scrapping well and hard, was good fun. It won't need much for us to be fighting among the points."
3) Mad Max Verstappen's language is as feisty as his driving
Verstappen finished a frustrated 10th, a place behind his team-mate, Carlos Sainz. Here are some of his radio rants to his team – swearing removed: "Can I try to get past? Let me drive … this takes too long … come on we have to do something … it's a joke." Part of Verstappen's anger stemmed from his inability to get past Palmer for a long while. And near the end of the race he nudged the back of Sainz and went into a spin. His final position was a disappointment considering he started in fifth place.
4) New team Haas have real midfield potential
Many tipped the US team to be in the bottom two this season, along with Manor. But Romain Grosjean was a surprising sixth on his debut for the team at Albert Park. His team-mate, Esteban Gutiérrez, went out after crashing with Fernando Alonso but Grosjean's performance was a real eye-catcher. The team principal, Gunther Steiner, said: "You aim high and you want points, but after qualifying [19th and 20th] we didn't expect to finish sixth. A deserved sixth, on merit, because the speed is there, it is pretty cool. This is beyond our expectations. Being competitive with the other cars is more satisfying than taking points."
5) Lewis Hamilton remains grumpy
"It's very rare that in our conversations anything I say is taken any notice of," Lewis Hamilton said. "There's no point in me being there. At the top end there is way too many people making decisions who don't understand what it is like in the car. And all the people who make decisions have different opinions. The decisions that have been made haven't made the racing any better." The increased ban on radio messages made no difference to him, he claimed. He said: "Honestly it was no different to any other race. I had as much information as I've ever wanted. I had a little bit more control of the stuff that I do in the car, which I prefer, on the engine side. Otherwise there was no difference. I had to figure out my strategy just as I would have been last year. It really didn't make any different whatsoever."

Oh I tried to take a good photograph of this bottle, but it defeated me. It's very understated, you see, in the flesh. Beautifully designed, but understated. So it just looks like a boring, plain bottle in my photo! Do you know, I hated this fragrance when I first tried it? Lancome's La Vie Est Belle struck no chords with me whatsoever. I thought it was sickly and old lady-ish. I think, for me, it's the Iris that does that. Anyone else have problems with Iris? To be fair, Iris wasn't actually the first thing that I picked up when I smelt this fragrance for the first time; I got Jasmine and Vanilla. A huge, whacking great hit of Vanilla. Vanilla isn't really my perfume element of choice – years of girls spraying Impulse in the school changing rooms killed Vanilla for me.
But wait. Because La Vie Est Belle is fast becoming one of my most-loved perfumes. (I'm hoping that lots of people hate it so that it doesn't become too mainstream! But it will – it can't not. It's too nice.) It warms to this beautiful, snuggly, sexy scent that is sweet and powdery and fruity all at the same time. It appeals to me in the same way as Thierry Mugler's Angel does, except that I like this much better. It's more classic, I think. This fragrance from Lancome is actually version eighty-thousand and twenty-seven (or something) so it's been a while in the making. Beautiful.
What do you think? Love it? Hate it?
La Vie Est Belle starts at £39 for 30ml with free delivery from FeelUnique.com

Independent Angus King Wins Maine Senate Seat
Independent former Maine Gov. Angus King won a three-way race in Maine to replace retiring Republican U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe, according to an Associated Press projection. The next question: which party Mr. King will caucus with when he arrives in the Senate.
Mr. King beat Maine Secretary of State Charlie Summers, a Republican, and state Sen. Cynthia Dill, a Democrat, according to the AP, which did not provide the vote tally yet.

Guatemala – that small republic at the slender waist of the North American continent – is not a place that most Americans know about. If they do, they might know it for contributing thousands of immigrants who brave the violent border separating the United States from Mexico in a search for a better life. Many enter the United States illegally or remain in the country even after their visas expire. They are often found working, for example, in Michigan picking blueberries, in Mississippi working in sawmills or mat fields, or in California picking row crops.
One of these Guatemalans paid the ultimate sacrifice in service to a country that had not yet afforded him citizenship. Born in Guatemala, 22-year-old José Antonio Gutierrez died in a 2003 firefight and was one of the first U.S. military personnel to die in combat in the second Iraq War. Marine Lance Corporal Gutierrez died on March 21, 2003, near the port called Umm Qasr. He was one of the first U.S. casualties of the war.
Rifleman Gutierrez came to the United States at the age of 14. After his parents' death, he had been left to fend for himself on the streets of Guatemala City. Like many others, he then took the hazardous route from Central America through Mexico by hopping freight trains and travelled north. Immigrants fleeing the poverty and criminal violence of Central America use various means to reach the U.S., paying smugglers to find routes where they can avoid border guards. Like many who cross the border illegally, Gutierrez was detained by immigration authorities who, because he was a minor, did not deport him back to Guatemala.
In Los Angeles, he became a ward of the state and lived with a series of different foster families and group homes. He learned English and finished high school in California, obtaining his legal residency documents and the age of 18.
Rather than pursuing university studies towards his dream of becoming an architect, Gutierrez instead decided to join the Marine Corps. His foster sister later said that Gutierrez was anxious to give the United States what the United States gave to him. He came with nothing, and it was the United States, she said, who gave him everything. He was among the 32,000 Latinos - native-born and immigrants - to serve in the conflict in 2003.
Gutierrez did not become a U.S. citizen until after his death. He was the second Marine to die in the conflict. Ironically, he was killed by friendly fire. His sister, Engracia Sirin Gutierrez, accepted the offer of residency in the U.S. that came only after her brother's sacrifice.
His life was recalled in a 2006 documentary film, 'The Short Happy Life of Jose Gutierrez.'

|Freddy Mercury by Ben Heine
What has this to do with cartoons? Well, it made me think about caricature.
"A caricature is a portrait that exaggerates or distorts the essence of a person or thing to create an easily identifiable visual likeness. In literature, a caricature is a description of a person using exaggeration of some characteristics and oversimplification of others. (Wikipedia)"
In the world of cartoons, there are caricaturists. Many caricaturists exaggerate and distort. For that reason I won't link to Freddy Mercury caricatures. You'll find them easily on the web. Only few caricaturists (a bad word, in fact they are artists) , the great ones, are able the pay a tribute to the persons they draw. Karl Meersman is one of those artists who can draw tribute 'caricatures' as I call some work.Another artist is Sebastian Kruger. Unfortunately I didn't find art of them concerning Queen or Freddy Mercury.
Another artist is Ben Heine. From him I found a Freddy Mercury art work.
Tribute art, I like the word. The show I saw wasn't a caricature at all of the great rock band Queen. No, it was a tribute performed by professionals, sounding professional and they hit the heart of the public. Congratulations to Gary Mullen and The Works!

At some point, we've all been affected by a bulk order of t-shirts. Whether it was that time we participated in a charity event, our orientation week during college or university, or even when we played for the company softball team, we've all benefited from bulk t-shirts printing. What's important to take into consideration during the process of bulk t-shirts printing is that you should have a plan going into each year. For example, let's say that you're working at a large company and have been tasked with the bulk t-shirts printing for the company Christmas party, the charity event, and the company softball team. If you get all of your printing done in three separate waves throughout the year, it may be more expensive than if you would have had all of the t-shirts printed at the same time. Even if the design needed to change slightly depending on the occasion, the structure of the bulk t-shirts printing process allows for savings if you go into each new printing cycle with a concrete plan.
Bulk t-shirts printing is traditionally accomplished by using a type of printing known as screen printing. Known for being the most economical for large printing runs, screen printing has been around for quite some time, and the process is very efficient once the design and other parameters have been set; for one-off sorts of jobs, digital printing may be a better value, but for any job that involves bulk t-shirts printing, your go-to is a company like R&P Prints that offers the screen printing process for their bulk t-shirts printing.
If you're ordering a print wave for a large company, you may want to consider printing overages to avoid product shortages and to maximize savings down the road. For example, if you work for a university and you know that your logo for a certain event will not be changed, it makes financial sense to print more than you think you'll need in the short term. Your costs would be higher if you needed to order a second wave for unexpected shortages.
Since bulk t-shirts printing comes at a very affordable practice, any potential clothing entrepreneurs should consider approaching a supplier like R&P Prints to help launch their business for an affordable rate. The benefit of bulk t-shirts printing is the speed at which it can be accomplished, so if you wish to capitalize on a trend that's time sensitive, bulk t-shirts printing using the screen printing process will help you capitalize on the moment and turn a greater profit as a result.
Bulk t-shirts printing can be used for a variety of means, but the important lesson to take home is that more is better than less, and that speed is the essence. R&P Prints specializes in bulk t-shirts printing for almost any situation, and we even offer in-house graphics work to help make your vision a wearable reality.

Pan Macmillan 2014
There must have been a mix up at the Christmas factory because a copy of this landed in my stocking. My first thought was to palm it off as present to somebody else, but the opportunity didn't arise. Like some other folks I know, I was a big fan of the "felafel-era" Birmingham, and disappointed that he subsequently began producing fantasy-action novels. I would have liked to see him take the sharehouse theme worldwide. Or something like that. Anyway, the thought occurred to me that I hadn't actually read any of his fantasy-action novels so I decided to give this one a go.
The story begins with a horde of demons attacking an oil rig off the coast of America. And the plot only gets crazier from there! The protagonist Dave Hooper manages to kill one of the demons with an axe, before he falls unconscious and wakes up in hospital. Soon Dave discovers that he has super powers (yes, really). He can move terribly fast and has incredible strength. He has also inexplicably acquired the knowledge of the demon he killed. With the help of his trusty axe (technically it's a splitting maul), he helps the American military defeat a horrific demon attack on the city of New Orleans.
You would be correct in thinking this book is very silly indeed. The demon horde feels a lot like it escaped from the Warhammer role-playing franchise. Apparently these demons ruled the earth thousands of years ago, treating humans as cattle and fighting amongst themselves. I wondered why none of the scientists in the book mentioned the peculiar absence of any fossil remains of this demon civilization. Possibly I skipped over that page. One thing I did like was that the demons seem to become sexually aroused during the carnage. Call me depraved but I thought it gave these guys an edge over your average fantasy monster.
The story may be ridiculous but Birmingham writes well and the dialogue and descriptions kept me amused. I was chuckling to myself in more than one place as I rediscovered his sense of humour. I also enjoyed the reprobate protagonist. Dave Hooper is the sort of guy who blows his pay check on hookers and cocaine.
A book like this isn't going to change your life. However if you're looking for some hilarious trash this may be the book for you (and I mean that in the best possible way).

Hank came to us from the Westside German Shepherd Rescue, a great group that takes care of and finds good homes for some really wonderful dogs. Hank is a sweet boy who loves to cuddle with his mom & dad and play with his big sister Ginger. He is a wonderful addition to our family.
Four year old Paddy is a lively medium sized dog who is a very friendly socialised boy. He needs lots of interesting walks as he is quite bouncy. He has done some agility training. He deserves a fun loving home. He is a little star, but unfortunately has just come back in because he was not suited with an elderly family member as he can be be a live wire if not exercised. Anyone meeting Paddy cannot fail but be smitten with his lovely nature.

When I recently lost my beloved Otis I waited a week or so until I felt I couldn't wait any longer. Took a neighbors advice and went to where they got their pitX.

Buyers can visit the Ztail online catalog (an aggregation from various partner merchants) where they can browse products, and for each item, the buyer will be presented with the item's normal price from the merchant, as well as its Ztail price (difference between the sale price from the merchant and the guaranteed resale price). When a buyer purchases an item through Ztail's catalog, the site will guarantee that a within a certain time period after the purchase date, Ztail will be able to resell the item on eBay for a certain amount. For example, for the item shown in the picture below (item details available here), Ztail is guaranteeing that a $300 MP3 music system through Cambridge Soundworks will sell for at least $135 on eBay (within a year of the purchase date).
What I really like about the service is it's automated workflow. Once buyers completes the purchase transaction, Ztail emails them a link that they can click whenever they're ready to re-sell the item. The link is also accessible through the buyer's online Ztail account. The resale workflow uses the eBay auction wizard to post the buyer's item on eBay, and all auction settings are configured behind the scenes to maximize the buyer's return. Other than entering your eBay and Paypal information, it's a hands-off process!
It can get even better if your auction price ends up being higher than the guaranteed resale price, in which case, you get to keep the extra money. You also need not worry if the auction ends with a final selling price below the Ztail's guarantee, as Ztail will refund the residual.
So what do you think?
I personally think the idea has great potential for products that require frequent upgrades or things that you might not need to keep forever. The one year time limit is a major restriction though, but I suspect this will be increased as the service gains more traction, and Ztail builds a critical mass of buyers and sellers.
From the buyer's perspective, the service sounds appealing because it gives them some confidence in the product and offers them an alternative down the road if they don't like the product, or want an upgrade. Also, the hands-off approach to the resale process through eBay is a plus - I personally never get around selling unwanted items on eBay because of time constraints.
Also, only time will tell whether there is a particular category of products that this service is more suited to… high priced products? fashion accessories? technology products with a short life-cycle?Only time will tell if the service proves to be viable, at which point, I wonder whether we'll see Ztail's offerings being integrated with major online storefronts – i.e. rather than having to purchase through Ztail's catalog, we'd be able to purchase directly from the online retailer and choose Ztail as an additional option. How will that business model work? Further food for thought…
