text: When two inlaid banding lines meet at a corner it's essential that the outside corners of the router-cut grooves be perfectly square, as even a slight inaccuracy can be conspicuous. Developed in consultation with accomplished British boxmaker Andrew Crawford, this machined precision jig offers a solution. It has thin 1-3/4" long ribs on the underside of the anodized aluminum base to permit stable, accurate registration in a pair of perpendicular grooves as small as 1/16" wide and 1/64" deep. Four embedded 1/4" rare-earth magnets ensure the included corner chisel travels true in the jig. Made of long-wearing A2 tool steel, hardened to Rc60, the 3/8" square chisel is precisely ground with a 35° bevel on each face. Also useful for tidying the corners of recesses for inlay panels, stringing, or on any 90° corner of a router-cut inlay groove. Made in Canada.

Or at least it must be based on previous logic used when talking about Voter ID laws. You see for you to get up to $200 for your semi-auto rifle, which in most cases is quite below market value, you have to be able to produce photo ID for accounting purposes.
How are all those minorities who can't get ID for them to be able to participate in the election process going to be able to all of a sudden get an ID to sell those guns they no longer want? Where oh where is Erik Holder when you need him. This entire operation needs to be shut down and investigated for racisism.
From The Blaze, Ithaca PD and Thompson County PD are instituting a buy back program to get those guns off the street before they end up in the hands of those that will do us harm.
Here is the same question I asked last time I wrote about this kind of stupidity. Exactly how many criminals do you think are going to come up and hand over the weapons they were planning to commit crimes with? Yeah, I didn't think so either.
Of course with that one, (in Chicago no less, how funny is that?) they would still pay you for your broken duck taped guns, which then went to pay for an NRA sponsored youth course. Which quite frankly was just hilarious.
But if you have a broken gun that no longer works or that Red Rider BB gun that might put your eye out you can always bring it there. They just aren't going to pay you for it this time. Oh and you are only allowed to receive money for a maximum of 3 guns. I guess that is their way to make sure they aren't paying for youth lessons again. Who said liberals can't learn?
I consistently condemn these plans as retarded but in the interest of fairness let me explain how this program might work. I bring you a gun, you have said gun appraised, you offer me a fair market value of the gun. Then I might consider selling you my gun. Of course I am also going to take the proceeds of that sale and buy a new one. That though, is none of your damn business.

As 2013 draws to a close, we are pleased to look back on the year that was and highlight some of the key developments in the ever-changing field of health law. While a great deal of attention was focused on the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, 2013 also included a number of significant developments in other areas, including information privacy and security, antitrust, fraud and abuse, and drug safety. We have compiled a list of 10 important issues that affect a broad range of health care industry clients. If you would like to learn more about these or other health law issues, please contact any of the attorneys in the Health Care practice group at Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP.
1. HITECH Omnibus Rule
In January, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued the long-awaited omnibus final rule to modify the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) pursuant to the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH). The final rule made a number of important changes to the HIPAA rules, including making business associates and their subcontractors directly liable for violations of certain of the HIPAA rules, strengthening the enforcement provisions of HIPAA, modifying the breach notification requirement by creating a presumption that a breach has occurred unless there is a low probability that the information at issue has been compromised, and prohibiting most health plans from using or disclosing genetic information for underwriting purposes. The issuance of the final rule coupled with several high-profile settlements resulted in many health care organizations (and their business partners) renewing their focus on HIPAA compliance in 2013. For our comprehensive coverage of the final rule, click here.
2. Physician Payment Sunshine Act Final Rule
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) finalized the rule implementing the Physician Payment Sunshine Act on February 1. The final rule requires certain manufacturers of covered drugs, devices, and biological and medical supplies operating in the United States to annually disclose most direct and indirect payments and other "transfers of value" made to physicians and certain teaching hospitals. Applicable manufacturers and applicable group purchasing organizations also must report ownership or investment interests held by physicians or immediate family members of physicians. Payments subject to reporting include research-related payments, consulting fees, honoraria, faculty and speaker compensation, grants, gifts, entertainment, food, travel, charitable contributions, royalties or licenses, current or prospective ownership or investment interests, and any other nature of payment or transfer of value. Failure to report may result in civil monetary penalties. Click here for further detail regarding the final rule.
3. Key Antitrust Developments
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) continued its aggressive
enforcement against provider mergers it believed to be
anticompetitive, expanding beyond hospital transactions to
challenges to mergers and acquisitions of physician practices. In
February, the FTC prevailed in a significant U.S. Supreme Court
case about the state action doctrine as applied to the merger of
two hospitals (FTC v. Phoebe Putney Health System, Inc.,
No. 11-1160, 568 U.S. __ (2013)). The FTC had asserted that the
acquisition of Palmyra Park by the Phoebe Putney Health System was
essentially a "merger to monopoly and would allow Phoebe
Putney to raise prices for general acute-care hospital services
charged to commercial health plans, as well as diminish healthcare
quality and service." Click
here for our previous coverage of the decision.
In March, the FTC filed a lawsuit against St. Luke's Health Care System seeking to enjoin the acquisition of Idaho's largest independent multi-specialty physician practice group. The case marks the first time that the FTC has litigated to trial a matter involving a hospital's acquisition of a physician practice. The case may define how the courts view hospital acquisitions of physician practices for years to come and may signal a renewed retrospective review of health care mergers by the FTC. A decision is expected from the court in the first quarter of 2014.
In addition to its law enforcement activities, the FTC issued its first guidance for clinically integrated networks since passage of the Affordable Care Act in February. The advisory opinion was issued in response to a proposal by the Norman Physician Hospital Organization to form a clinically integrated health care network. The advisory opinion may be viewed as a road map for successful clinical integration of health care providers. For more on the advisory opinion, click here.
4. OIG Special Fraud Alert on Physician-Owned Distributorships
The Office of Inspector General (OIG) published a special fraud alert on March 26 in which it labeled physician-owned distributorships (PODs) "inherently suspect." The OIG defined PODs as physician-owned entities that derive revenue from selling, designing, or manufacturing medical devices (including surgical implants) or instruments. The special fraud alert follows intense congressional scrutiny of PODs in recent years, which included a June 2011 report in which the Senate Finance Committee suggested that PODs create financial incentives for physicians to make patient treatment decisions based on economic gain. The special fraud alert is notable for its unequivocal suspicion of an entire class of health care businesses. The alert has already led to a lawsuit against HHS and the OIG by an implant and device manufacturer alleging that the alert has had a chilling effect on the PODs industry (Reliance Medical Systems, LLC v. HHS, U.S. District Court, Central District of California). For our previous coverage of the special fraud alert, click here.
5. Inpatient Admission Criteria and the "Two Midnight" Rule
In its final Inpatient Prospective Payment System rule for 2014, CMS announced the so-called two midnight rule, whereby payment for Medicare Part A hospital inpatient services generally will be considered appropriate if the admitting physician expects that the beneficiary will require a stay that spans at least two midnights. The two midnight rule will operate as a presumption of medical necessity under which inpatient stays that donot span two midnights will be subject to prepayment review. Although CMS claimed in the final rule that the two midnight requirement merely clarifies existing policies for inpatient admissions, hospitals have objected that the new rule actually extends the generally accepted 24-hour stay standard for inpatient admissions. The American Hospital Association and others have organized a strong backlash against the new requirement, including a legislative proposal (the Two-Midnight Rule Delay Act, H.R. 3698). Opponents of the rule have already succeeded in delaying its enforcement by CMS and recovery auditors. The future of the rule likely will play out well into 2014.
6. Key Stark Law Rulings
The year also brought significant developments in a pair of closely watched cases involving alleged violations of the federal physician self-referral prohibition, commonly known as the Stark Law. On September 30, in U.S. ex rel. Drakeford v. Tuomey Healthcare System, a federal district court in South Carolina ordered that a hospital system pay more than $237 million for violations of the Stark Law and the federal False Claims Act. The order, entered nearly eight years after the case was filed, followed a May 2013 jury verdict finding that Tuomey violated the Stark Law and False Claims Act by entering into part-time employment contracts with a number of physicians that varied with and took into account the volume or value of the physicians' referrals.
On November 13, in U.S. ex rel. Baklid-Kunz v. Halifax Medical Center, a federal district court in Florida issued an order granting partial summary judgment to the United States in a case concerning whether a hospital's payment of bonus compensation to employed medical oncologists violated the Stark Law. The court found that the bonus payments, which were made from a pool consisting of the oncology program's profits and distributed to the physicians in proportion to their personally performed services, took into account the volume or value of referrals by the physicians and therefore failed to meet the requirement of the Stark Law's bona fide employment exception. For previous coverage regarding these cases, click here.
7. Drug Quality and Security Act
In response to the 2012 fungal meningitis outbreak linked to pharmacy compounding, Congress amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act with respect to drug compounding and supply chain traceability in November. The objective of the amendments is to replace the inconsistent and fragmented patchwork of state laws with uniform standards for drug distribution safety and provide a system for establishing the pedigree of prescription drugs. Under the Drug Quality and Security Act, compounding pharmacies electing to meet certain uniform national standards for compounding, labeling, and quality assurance reporting may register annually with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as "outsourcing facilities" and be subject to FDA inspections and adverse event reporting. The Act also requires HHS to establish national standards for the licensing of wholesale distributors and third-party warehousing and logistics providers within two years and phase in regulatory requirements to facilitate product tracking at the transaction level through the drug supply chain.
8. Mental Health Parity Act Final Rule
In November, CMS joined the IRS and the U.S. Department of Labor in issuing final rules under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 (MHPAEA). The final rules follow the interim final regulations issued in January 2010, the passage of the Affordable Care Act, and several rounds of interpretive FAQs to clarify obligations on group health insurance issuers and group health plans for placing mental health and substance use disorder benefits in parity with general medical/surgical benefits and to extend the MHPAEA to the individual insurance market. The final rules apply to financial requirements (e.g., copays and deductibles), quantitative treatment limitations (e.g., number of visits and days of coverage), and nonquantitative treatment limitations (e.g., reimbursement rates and medical management standards relating to medical necessity).
In general, the final rules provide that a plan may not impose a financial requirement or quantitative treatment limitation on mental health and substance use disorder benefits in any classification that is more restrictive than the predominant financial requirement or quantitative treatment limitation for substantially all medical/surgical benefits in the same classification. Similarly, a plan may not impose nonquantitative treatment limitations with respect to a mental health and substance use disorder benefit in any classification unless such limitations are comparable to the limitations imposed by the plan for medical/surgical benefits in the same classification. Notably, the final rules eliminated entirely an exception in the interim final regulations that permitted plans to impose nonquantitative treatment limitations to the extent that "recognized clinically appropriate standards of care" may permit a difference. The final rules are effective for plan and policy years beginning on or after July 1, 2014.
9. Insurance Exchanges
Although not a legal issue, the technical difficulties associated with the unveiling of the federal online health insurance marketplace constituted one of the most visible health care issues of the year. While recent reports indicate improved performance and rising enrollment, it remains to be seen whether the implementation issues will lead to more significant problems, such as delays in uninsured individuals obtaining health insurance or a reduction in the number of people choosing to purchase health insurance rather than paying the individual mandate tax penalties. The technical issues associated with the launch of the healthcare.gov website also raise the possibility of delays in the implementation of other key components of the Affordable Care Act, such as the (already once delayed) March 31, 2014 deadline for the individual mandate tax penalties. What on the one hand is a limited logistical hiccup in the implementation of a massively complex law, has, on the other hand, generated significant concern and uncertainty regarding health care reform.
10. Medicaid Expansion Developments
The Affordable Care Act was designed to require all states to offer Medicaid eligibility to nondisabled, low-income adults up to 138% of the federal poverty level. This new category is commonly referred to as the expansion population. However, in June 2012, the U.S Supreme Court ruled that the federal government cannot penalize states that do not implement the law's Medicaid expansion provisions with the loss of existing federal Medicaid funding, thereby effectively giving states the option of whether to cover this new category of individuals. Whether or not to cover the expansion population continued to be a contentious policy discussion in many states in 2013. To date, 25 states plus the District of Columbia have opted to provide coverage, while 23 states have not. Two states, Indiana and Pennsylvania, have waiver applications pending with CMS for alternative Medicaid expansion plans. Regardless of whether states choose to offer coverage to the expansion population, the Affordable Care Act will increase the number of individuals, particularly children, who are eligible for Medicaid coverage as a result of several provisions, such as effectively increasing the poverty level thresholds for eligibility, requiring states to cover foster care children until the age of 26, streamlining Medicaid enrollment applications, creating online Medicaid enrollment through the health insurance exchanges, and allowing for hospitals to make presumptive Medicaid eligibility determinations.

Accra- Ghana (PANA) -- A Ghanaian medical doctor has cautioned patients against turning to spiritual healers, warning that such clerics do not have the cure for HIV/AIDS.
Dr Divine Apaloo told worshipers last Sunday at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church at Koforidua that besides, "known drugs only prolong the lives of AIDS patients.
" An estimated 600,000 Ghanaians are living with HIV/AIDS in a population of about 18 million.
Priority interventions in the country have focused on the promotion of safe sex, use of condoms, improved management of Sexually Transmitted Diseases and safe blood.
Other measures are infection control, prevention of mother- to-child transmission, voluntary counselling and testing, nursing/clinical care and counselling and home-based care.
Despite these strategies, however, average adult prevalence rose from 2.
4 per cent in 1994 to 4.
6 per cent in 1999, necessitating a review of approaches.
Dr Apaloo also said the public should be wary of herbal medicines, which have not been scientifically tested even though herbalists claim could cure the disease.

Morris on a mission
It's summer and it's hot. Imagine living without electricity or running water in 90 degree temperatures.
Stevana "Stevie" Morris, 21, a 2009 graduate of Ephrata High School, will be trading the comforts of home this Friday for the rural mountains of Haiti to work for the next four months with New Life Mission, an extension of New Life Fellowship Church, Ephrata.
From July 20 through Nov. 10, Morris will be working with Haitian missionary Zacharie Estime to start a children's ministry in Charrier, Haiti, a mountain village two hours north of Port-Au-Prince. Morris expects to work with 50 to 100 children every day–teaching English classes, telling Bible stories, making and serving meals, leading craft times and visiting orphanages.
In addition to working with children, she will be helping other missionary teams host a soccer camp, provide medical support and work on building the New Life mission house.
"The goal is to spread God's love to as many people as we can," she said.
Charrier was not hit directly by the massive earthquake that struck the impoverished Island in 2010, but has certainly felt the long term affects of the disaster.
Scores of children orphaned by the earthquake and by outbreaks of diseases like AIDS have been transplanted to this country town and others like it to be cared for by rural relatives. Those children are often neglected by their new families, said Morris, and are forced to do the extra work of the family.
"And so those are especially the kids they want to reach out to," Morris said of New Life's goals, "and they want to make them feel loved because a lot of these kids feel like they are not important in any way."
Morris will be living with a Haitian host family, cooking over a fire, using a cement hole as a bathroom and pouring water from a bin to shower. The self-proclaimed "picky eater" expects to be challenged by her new diet of rice and beans and beef stew.
"I'm really excited," she mused, "because at least they have peanut butter!"
And yes, it will be hot. It's also summer in Haiti, with temps reaching to the 100's. Learning to tolerate and sleep in the heat will be one of her greatest challenges, she said.
On weekends, Morris will retreat to the beach town of Mountrois, staying with her translator's family, to relax and prepare the next week's lesson plans. A generator will provide electricity to recharge her cell phone and allow her to communicate with family and friends via the internet.
Challenges aside, Morris is drawn to Haiti and its people, whom she describes as the "the happiest people that I've ever met."
She has been struck by the intensity of their faith in the midst of stark poverty.
"They are forced to trust God completely," she said. "I want to learn how to appreciate God as much as they do and to trust in Him."
Morris also hopes to gain perspective.
"I was going to buy my toiletries," she said, "and realized, I'm not going to be able to buy any of these things over there. At the same time I was like, 'Do I really need all of this stuff?' I think it's going to help me learn what's important and what I really don't need."
The Haitian people first captured Morris' heart when she traveled there for a week in January 2011 with a group led by New Life Mission director Cindy Zimmerman.
Morris recalled that at the last moment, she got cold feet and wanted to back out of that mission's trip, but it was too late–she had to go.
"I went and it changed my life. It was 100 percent worth it," she said. "I knew that as soon as I left (Haiti) that it was on my heart and I wanted to go back."
So as soon as Morris graduated from California University of Pennsylvania this past May with a physical therapy assistant degree, she contacted Zimmerman again, who came up with the idea for the four month mission trip for Morris.
Morris was very excited, but remembers thinking, "This is impossible. I'm never going to raise $5,500 in two months."
Estime, who has been staying with Zimmermans for the past two months, encouraged Morris often, saying simply, "God will take care of it."
Two months later, she is well over her goal, having raised over $8,000, which will enable her to help the Haitian people directly with the additional funds.
"It's so awesome to see the Ephrata community come together," she said. "Ephrata seems to really have a heart for Haiti, and so I think that has increased my ability to raise funds."
Morris has heard from former Ephrata classmates, old family acquaintances and pure strangers.
"Honestly, I've never felt God calling me to do something so strongly in my life before," she said. "Just the outpour of love from people–it's just completely confirmed this is what I'm supposed to be doing and I'm so excited."
Morris hopes to start a blog recording her experiences in Haiti. Interested readers can find more information and a link to Morris' blog at the New Life Mission Haiti Facebook page. More MISSION, page A15

The Everest Challenge is in other words the pursuit of happiness. It is a show of determination of a guy who decided to take on the challenge of climbing the highest mountain on Earth. This challenge is based on the knowledge that willingness and desire can overcome many other deficiencies. I know the challenge is going to be a difficult one but I believe that courage is the acceptance that you may not win the challenge but still give it your best in trying to achieve the goals you have set for yourself.
How can you help?
The physical challenge is certainly a huge one to master. However there are other challenges that are already setting the bar high at the stage of planning. Each expedition has a cost which is anywhere from 10,000AUD to about 80,000AUD. The total cost of reaching the end of the roadmap is estimated to be about 180,000AUD over a period of 4 years.
To help me progress in this challenge you can:
• Publish the link of this blog on your Facebook or Twitter account, so that you can help me generate interest and attract sponsorship;
• Send me the contacts of people who may be interested in sponsoring the Challenge (e.g. Marketing departments of large firms, Newspaper columnists, TV show producers);
• Click on the ads at the bottom and on the side of this page (each click will generate 0.2$);
• Help me by directly donating by clicking here:
What's next?
A series of initiatives will be launched to promote the Everest Challenge. A series of weekly updates on the preparation will be provided on this blog, with true inside on the challenges and the struggles moving towards the intermediate goals highlighted in the road map. A section on frequently asked questions will be created and updates on budget and expenditure will be available online. Any suggestions for additional initiatives are more than welcome and I am more than happy for you to join me in this experience, not necessarily climbing the mountains, but helping with any aspect of the challenge (e.g. media, marketing, accounting, etc).

The length of the deal was not disclosed but British media said Klopp had signed a three-year contract to help breathe life into a team that has struggled for consistency.
After several days of speculation, the charismatic 48-year-old has finally been confirmed as the replacement for Brendan Rodgers, who was sacked on Sunday after 3-1/2 years in charge.
"Liverpool Football Club are delighted to announce Juergen Klopp has been appointed as the club's new manager, said a statement on their official website.
"The German coach has signed a deal to take the helm at the Reds and will be presented at a press conference at Anfield on Friday morning."

Klopp has been out of work since May when he finished a seven-year reign at Dortmund to take a sabbatical. He is expected to bring with him Zeljko Buvac and Peter Krawietz, who were his former assistants at the Bundesliga club.
Klopp, who led Dortmund to two Bundesliga titles and a Champions League final, is credited with reviving 'Die Schwarzgelben' and moulding them into one of the most exciting brands in world football during his seven years in Westphalia.
In general, his widely expected arrival as the Liverpool boss has been welcomed, with Dortmund defender Mats Hummels remarking: "He eats, lives, breathes and thinks football day after day. He's a fantastic coach."

California's Young Mother of the Year Follows Christ By Being a Mother

"We must never lose sight of the strength of the women. … It is mothers who most directly affect the lives of their children. … They are the creators of life. They are the nurturers of children. … How great is their role, how marvelous their contribution." —President Gordon B. Hinckley

Upon finding out that she was going to represent the state of California as the Young Mother of the Year, Jocelyn Hansen of the Glendora Second Ward in the Glendora California Stake said with humility, "I'm not qualified. This is embarrassing. It's embarrassing because I can pick out my friends that do a better job at things that I struggle with."
She would go on to say that "anyone who is working their hardest to be a mom is the mother of the year."
Sister Hansen had grown up wanting to be a mom.
"In life, we are asked to follow Christ's example," she said. "So what better way to do that than being a mother?"
When Sister Hansen was asked how she learned to be a mother, she said, "As members of the Church, we are really lucky because we have wonderful women in the Church [to look to]."
While it is true that no parent is perfect, she is a perfect fit for her children.
"I feel very in tune with my children's needs," she said. "I had a lot of career options, but I knew that staying at home and raising my children was what I wanted to do."
In the Hansen household, "mothering" is done not only by Sister Hansen but also by the Hansen girls. "My boy has three 'little moms,'" she said. "He bonds them together by making them be big sisters to him."
According to the song "The Family Is of God," "A mother's purpose is to care, prepare, to nurture and to strengthen all her children. She teaches children to obey, to pray, to love, and serve in the family"—things that these young girls are doing for their brother.
Although Sister Hansen was originally less than thrilled to be honored, being picked to represent the state of California as Young Mother of the Year does have its perks.
One of her daughters has been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, and Sister Hansen can now use her platform to help with diabetes awareness and funding.
As part of her service as Young Mother of the Year, she is looking to organize a golf tournament to raise money for treating type 1 diabetes.
In addition to being able to do something for those with type 1 diabetes, Sister Hansen said, "I can also be a missionary in the organization of this extraordinary group of women."
Speaking at the American Mothers Mom to Mom Conference, Sister Hansen summed up her thoughts of the purpose of mothers by quoting President Gordon B. Hinckley: "We must never lose sight of the strength of the women. … It is mothers who most directly affect the lives of their children. … They are the creators of life. They are the nurturers of children. … How great is their role, how marvelous their contribution" ("Standing Strong and Immovable," Worldwide Leadership Training Meeting, Jan. 10, 2004, 21).

Muslim group seeks rehiring of Wal-Mart US worker
HAMBURG, New York (AP) — A Muslim advocacy group is asking Wal-Mart to rehire a worker who posted derogatory comments about Muslim customers on Facebook and was fired last week.
Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council On American-Islamic Relations, said Friday that the group had accepted Terrance Earsing's apology and, in a letter to Wal-Mart U.S. President and Chief Executive William Simon, urged the retailer to do the same.
Earsing was an assistant manager at a Wal-Mart in the Buffalo suburb of Hamburg. Along with a picture of Muslim women in traditional dress, his expletive-filled posting read: "Halloween came early this year. ... Do they really have to ... dress like that."
"After the incident, we have engaged in conversations with Mr. Earsing on the situation and have come to the conclusion that Mr. Earsing is truly apologetic and will try to engage in more community and religious tolerance dialogues to ensure no future religious discrimination situations occur," the letter to Wal-Mart from CAIR-NY Board President Ryan Mahoney said.
"With Mr. Earsing's apology, we hope that Wal-Mart will accept his apology and if possible provide him employment," the letter said.
Spokeswoman Ashley Hardie said Wal-Mart Stores Inc. would not comment on the letter, dated Wednesday. Earlier, the company said Earsing had failed to meet the company's expectations.

Dandelion Bread
Q-tip painting. We loved this project, and you can find different printables all over the internet. I highly recommend this activity. It's low stress, and easy to achieve success, even for your little impatient ones.
Leftover chocolate bunnies were consumed this week, some while wearing warm footy jammies.
Today we made dandelion bread. Josephine loves dandelions. ( She gets that from her momma! ) So today, she harvested several hundred from our front and back yards, and we set to work removing the stems and green parts to make batch of dandelion bread. You can find the recipe we used here. Removing the yellow part of the flowers was time consuming, and my fingertips are dyed a lovely shade of yellow. The bread turned out much like cornbread. Very tasty.
We are loving springtime at the Smith house! We have trays upon trays of little vegetable plants growing, waiting to get big enough to live in our garden beds. Our new house lets in the sunshine, and all the natural light is doing the family so much good. How are you enjoying your spring?

Lil Wayne Wants Drake to End Chris Brown Beef
Lil Wayne and the rest of the Young Money crew want Drake to put an end to his beef with Chris Brown … STAT — because the bad blood is bad for business. It's a sign that as badass as rap may be … the bottom line is the bottom line.
Sources close to Drake says Drizzy has received several calls from Weezy, Birdman, Mack Maine and more — urging the rapper to extend an olive branch to Brown after last week's nightclub brawl in NYC.
Sources tell us, Wayne and co. are worried the rift will affect business — since Brown appears on several tracks with Young Money members and, pure and simple, Brown = hits.
We're told Drake doesn't want to reach out to Breezy until he knows CB doesn't actually blame him for last week's melee — despite what Brown's lawyer has been saying … that Drake was one of the aggressors.
We're told Young Money's on Drake's side no matter what — but as one source put it,
"Making money matters most."

I had Frosties for breakfast this morning, or to be more accurate a Frosted Orange Gortyna flavago. This long-awaited first for the garden was part of a very productive trapping session, yielding 84 moths of 25 species.
|Frosted Orange Gortyna flavago
The more surprising garden first was this Dark Sword-grass Agrotis ipsilon. This is a migrant, which appears in varying numbers between years. Unlike some of our other migrants, it has never been reliably proven to breed in the UK. The black 'sword' mark through the kidney marking helps to give the species it's name.
|Dark Sword-grass Agrotis ipsilon
Other welcome moths included the first Black Rustic Aporophyla nigra of the year. This stunning moth is a species of heathland and downland, the larva feeding on plants including heather (Caluna) and dock (Rumex).
|Black Rustic Aporphyla nigra
After a couple of years absence, I was also reacquainted with The Anomalous Stilbia anomala. This moorland species is one the specialities I have caught in the garden, with the moth being enticed down from the slopes of the Long Mynd.
|The Anomalous Stilbia anomala
A much more familiar species is the Silver Y Autographa gamma. Another migrant species, it has been a very productive year for Silver Ys in the garden, with this year heading for the highest annual total I have recorded.

Santa's annual appearance at the Long Meadow Shopping Center on Friday to visit with local boys and girls is just one of the community activities sponsored by a little-known faction of the American Legion that has a big hand in helping promote nursing and child welfare.
The Voiture Locale, otherwise known as the 40/8, is the honor society of the American Legion, said Don Hetzer, past grand chef degare of the group.
On Friday the group gave children free rides around the shopping center in a motorized locomotive. Local residents may have seen or ridden the locomotive at other local events, such as the Fun Day earlier this year at the Potomac Center.

For Republicans to defeat Barack Obama in 2012, they must nominate a principled, small government constitutional conservative for President, which seems to surprise establishment media types, and even some conservatives, because they assume that in order to win Republicans must run a content-free campaign around whichever candidate the establishment media has anointed as the "most electable." The establishment Republican narrative is that average voters are as bereft of principles as they are, and thus all average voters care about is electing a Republican. This is exactly the opposite of what grassroots conservative voters want. They want a Republican nominee who will campaign on conservative policy solutions, build a constituency for conservative government and govern as a conservative once elected. Grassroots conservatives and tea partiers see electing another business-as-usual establishment Republican as losing the election – and they are right. Conservatives long ago figured out that establishment Republicans run content-free campaigns so they sound conservative while running, but can govern as business-as-usual insiders once elected. In 2009 the TEA Party brought together a new coalition of conservative voters and the 2010 congressional elections proved that you don't have to be content-free to win. In the 2012 election cycle the traditional triad of economic, social and defense conservatives coupled with the newly energized constitutional conservatives of the TEA Party movement would be unbeatable – behind a candidate that shares, and is willing to advocate and fight for conservative principles. If conservatives acquiesce in the nomination of Romney, and Republicans run the content-free campaign his handlers plan, then Washington's inside elite will maintain their hold on the Party, but at the cost of losing winnable elections for the Senate, Congress and governor and saddling America with another four years of Barack Obama as President.
("A Real Conservative Can Beat Obama" by Richard Viguerie date November 20, 2011 published by News max at http://www.newsmax.com/Viguerie/coulter-romney-obama/2011/11/20/id/418647 )
Despite being demonized by the Democrat Party and minimized by liberal media, the Tea Party movement has not declined since its inception, but instead has increased in numbers. Despite being framed as radical events run by angry racists, the TEA Party's orderly patriotic weekend gatherings are now seen as benign in comparison to the rapes and thefts happening within the stench-filled tent cities of the Occupy movement. The line between conservatives and liberals is becoming clearer and clearer to more and more people. What is also becoming clearer is that the once feared TEA Party is now seen by the voting public for who they truly are—the American middle class. The TEA Party numbers are growing for two important reasons:
· First, once a person attends a TEA Party rally, that person is hooked. People understand their conservative values of adhering to the Constitution, controlling spending and having a working, but limited, government. All these relate to love of country and values that are easy to support.
· Second, the majority of voters now see that the nation is in a true fix, and they are looking for a positive, non-violent alternative to Obama's goal of a fundamental transformation of America.
Once people move past the lies of the liberal media, more and more citizens are finding that their local TEA Party is a very nice fit with what they believe. For those who are anxious to see this President be a one termer, the blueprint to victory in 2012 lies in coordinating the ever expanding TEA Party numbers and maximizing the number of voters who do go to the polls and vote next November, and Obama's defeat will be a certainty.

For those who grew up when America was America, we naturally long for the "good old days" because it's very clear that America has lost its way and needs to get back onto the path that made this the greatest nation in the world. While America is still great, we need to become greater and that will only happen when we return to our original way of life. Here is some guidance to help us return and grow into the Country we were destined to become:
· FOR PARENTS OF PRE-SCHOOL CHILDREN: It's time to return to America's original "Child-Care Program" … Program yourselves to take care of your own children.
· FOR GRADE SCHOOL & JUNIOR HIGH STUDENTS: It's time to return to America's original "Three R's" … Learn Responsibility, Reliability and Respect.
· FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS: It's time to return to America's original "After-School Program" … Program yourselves to complete your homework before reporting to your after-school job.
· FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS: It's time to return to America's original "Graduate Degree School" … Success comes in graduating degrees and you will only learn this at the school of hard knocks.
· FOR EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES: It's time to return to America's original "Economic Stimulus Package" … Serve your customers with the very best by investing heavily into honesty and integrity, then competitively package your product by planning smarter and working harder to stimulate the economics of your own business.
· FOR POLITICIANS: It's time to return to America's original "Campaign Finance Reform" … Reform your personal ethics and your political campaign will finance itself.
· FOR EVERY AMERICAN: It's time to return to America's original "Health Care Plan" … Plan on taking care of your own health!
None of these ideas are new, in fact, they worked well in the past, if you assumed personal responsibility for yourself, but these ideas have just been pushed aside and replaced by "Progressive" transformation to replace personal with government responsibility and undermined what made this country the land of the free and the home of the brave.
("It's Time to Return to America's Original Way of Life" by Robert L. Rosebrock dated November 22, 2011 published by Canada Free Press at http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/42607 )
The official, ultimate demise of the greatest socialist experiment in history, that of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, occurred on Christmas Day 1991, but only after it had dispossessed, imprisoned, tortured and murdered untold millions of its own citizen in the quest for the workers' chimerical paradise of equality and fairness, where each was projected to produce according to his ability and receive according to his needs. After 69 years of unremitting misery for the overwhelming majority of its people and the socialist Nirvana never coming even remotely within sight, the inevitable economic collapse took place, leaving hapless millions in grinding poverty. However, Westernized socialism, as practiced in European social democracies and to a lesser extent in the U.S., is still alive, no matter how unwell. In the Soviet model the state owned the means of production thus all workers were employed by the state, essentially each working for everyone else, the collective, but not directly for themselves. This was effectively a compulsory altruism which, because not being a primary human drive, introduced a fatal systemic flaw to an economy so bereft of incentives as to engender the famous Russian quip: "We pretend to work and they pretend to pay us." The second fatal flaw was the elimination of the free market and its replacement by the planned economy, where supply and demand were in the hands of technocrats and not the invisible hand of free-market capitalism. The resultant low productivity was easily outpaced by free-market capitalism which produced guns and butter as well as social programs. Today's Westernized socialism casts out doctrines of centralized planning and nationalization of enterprises, and incorporates democratic governance, rule of law, varying degrees of public services, safety nets and entitlements, all existing pari passu with free-market capitalism. However, the Western economies have recently slowed to a crawl, causing soaring national deficits which some governments have attempted to mitigate with reduced spending. In several nations this has impacted public services and threatened entitlements causing widespread public protests ranging from peaceful to violent, while world stock markets have dropped precipitously and turned volatile. In the broadest sense socialism is essential to modern society -- from public schooling, police, fire, highways, safety nets, defense -- and rules and regulations make for clean water and air, safe drugs and food, etc. The real question is how much socialism constitutes the Goldilocks amount. Empirical studies show that as government spending increases as percentage of GDP, economic growth increases to a point of diminishing returns, then begins an inexorable decline. Proponents of the Rahn curve maintain that total government spending at 15-25% of GDP maximizes economic growth. Total United States government spending rose from 33% of GDP in 2001 to 37% in 2008 and 40% in 2010 approaching the EU-27 2010 spending of over 50% GDP. Increasing government share of GDP means the private sector is being starved of capital and overburdened with expanding rule and regulation making bureaucracies, so clearly government must downsize as a percentage of GDP, or economic stagnation, with all its deleterious long-range consequences, will continue.
("Socialism's Fundamental Flaws" by Andy Lugar dated November 19, 2011 published by American Thinker at http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/11/socialisms_fundamental_flaws.html )
To the left, protest is an identity, which is also why the Occupations never seemed to have
much of a coherent message and the purpose of their protests is to protest, the romance of the protest is all the justification that it really needs. The left is one long permanent protest by useful idiots whose dissatisfaction makes them seek out alternative societies in the guise of denouncing this one. Zuccotti Park was Neverland, as it would be in the real world, complete with disease, rapes and a rising body count. Today's Peter Pans and Wendys are as likely to be successful professionals as the old stereotype of dropouts who couldn't hack it. They have degrees, often more than one, many of them have jobs that the actual 99% would kill for, and family backgrounds in the upper and upper middle-class. Generations of the left have produced children who are trained for success, who have the right tools and the right background, but who have also imbibed the idea that hard work is drudgery and that the only thing worth doing well is trying to overthrow society centered around some incompatible combination of the pleasure principle and social welfare for everyone. The history of the left is of childishly naive ideals fought for with ugly tactics and implemented as totalitarian dystopias. The modern left's strange combination of lotus eaters and fire breathers, freeloaders and fanatics, isn't a split personality, it's the identity of people who have been deprived of every other form of identity, who romanticize alienation even when they are actually insiders, because they are no longer members of a nation, a nationality, a religion or even a professional class. They are the lost boys and girls still looking for happiness long after their grandparents failed to find in drugs and communes, and their great-grandparents failed to find it in psychoanalysis and decadence, and their great-great-grandparents failed to find it in spirit rapping and unstructured poetry. Those for whom happiness is escape briefly found it in a cluster of dirty tents, volunteerism, drugs, communal sleeping arrangements and the collapse of societal boundaries as the edge of a new world. At Zuccotti Park, the professional activist, working for unions and community groups, encountered the professional protester, who goes to a bewildering mix of rallies to spew his hate at his favorite targets, and together they ran into the lost boys and girls who confused anti-capitalism with utopia, and they all met the homeless and the huckster—the men and women living in actual poverty on the edge of their shining societies out of view of their parents' mansions. The Occupiers don't know how lucky they are, because despite all their degrees they have forgotten how revolutions, real revolutions, end. They end when the people holding up the ridiculous signs, the petty criminals and the mentally unstable, whom no one took seriously, become the secret police for one of those charming outsiders who wandered in and now owns the place. The left has defined itself by opposition, protest is its identity, if you aren't outraged then you aren't paying attention. The theme of 99% and 1% emphasizes the schizophrenic universalization of alienation. We are all on the outside… together, but you can't build a society of outsiders, much as the left has tried with its programs of multiculturalism and borderless nations. Making alienation your identity is fine for teenagers who are still busy rebelling against conventions and expectations, but there's no future in it for anyone but musicians and community organizers since protest is always personal and those who make protest their identity are really protesting against themselves.
("Protest as Identity" by Daniel Greenfield dated November 20, 2011 published by Canada Free Press at http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/42536 )
Obama's troubles stem from the rigidity of his broken ideas, they admit to no compromise, and consequently, he has invested his whole personality into an unworkable ideology that was dead outside of academia- and news rooms- until he resurrected it. It's the idea that a benign government of technocrats and academics can engineer near perfect justice at the trivial cost of liberty to most. He personally identifies with his ideology in the same way that he identifies himself as a father or husband, and he tightly clings to it. It's an ideology that he clings to, like some do guns and religion, despite a century of abject failure as his own disastrous record as President shows on a fairly small scale. Unlike guns and religion, however, which both have long records of reliability, his ideology depends upon the unreliable magic trick of redefining of words to mean the opposite of what any plain speaking person in the USA would understand them to mean. For example, if you redefine liberty to mean that most everyone outside of the ruling elite has the same amount of "things," then Obama's materialist ideology ensures "some liberty for most." It was so much easier for Obama to be President when all he had to do was come up with sunshine words and rosy promises, as opposed to, say, executing unworkable legislation, controlling a suspicious congress, creating policy that gave to the rich in order to secure "some liberty for most;" or following a budget that isn't even written down on a napkin. Talk is cheap but when you claim the mantle of leadership you actually have to do something. And in doing something Obama has revealed to Americans the underside, unspoken ideology that belongs to the spirit of the Bastille, rather than that of the Boston Tea Party. It's the spirit that talks about immigration reform, but ignores immigration law, or not- depending on how the spirits move him. It's the spirit that plays the part of constitutional law professor, while ignoring the duty to defend the constitution. It's the spirit that tells banks to lend money to poor people, but punishes banks through extra-legal means- because they loaned money to poor people. And those spirits create misgivings in most Americans; and those misgivings are strongly confirmed by the economic failures they have engendered. When you measure those failures against the expectations that the liberal left pinned on Obama via speeches and skin color, and subtract out the deepening number of Americans who think the country is on the wrong track, we can quantify how cheapened the Presidency has become. All you have to do is subtract the Obama expectations from the Obama result, and what you are left with confirms that this President is broken.

A Time of Gods - The Rebirth
A frigid wind blows throughout the ancient realm of Avaeron. A powerful mystic gale rushing through the spine of the ancient colossal mountain ranges out and over the massive black of the depthless sea.
It sweeps its way across the face of the land on an endless circuit snaking into every corner and twisting a winding path across all the world. On icy tendrils of frozen air a deadly promise blows hard enough to chill the bones of all who dare to live and breathe in its path.
Neither tree nor stone, water nor earth can impede its passage. Like a jet stream thrusting down from the heavens it finds its way into the deep dark places, long lost spaces and forgotten tombs gathering and growing in intensity only to burst free again carried aloft on freezing currents fueled by the whispers of fallen gods who stir and shape its surging torrent.
This is the legacy of those who have come before heralding their return. The 7th age of the world is nigh and with it comes death and rebirth and the promise of a world made a new.

Scheme financing – how the BTPS is funded and what it costs
The BTPS is funded by contributions from members and by the employer. The default position is that Section B members pay contributions of 7% or 8.5%, while Section C members pay 6% or 7%, depending (in both cases) on whether they are standard or higher-rate taxpayers. The employer contributions are undefined in the rules, but are based on meeting the additional costs (above and beyond the members' contributions) to provide the benefits set out in the scheme rules.
The employer's contributions are set by agreement between BT and the Trustees of the scheme following regular independent valuations of the scheme carried out by the scheme's actuary.
Pursuant to the June 2014 triennial valuation, the broad details of which were published in February 2015 at the time of the publication of BT's third quarter accounts, the combined employer/employee contribution rate for future service is 16% of salary in respect of all active members of the scheme (i.e. current BT employees), up from 13.5%.
This valuation also recorded a sizeable deficit in the scheme of £7bn, which has accrued as a result of prior contributions being insufficient to meet the obligations earned in respect of service before the valuation. The deficit in 2011 was £3.9bn. However, against a total asset base of £40bn, this means that the scheme was still 85% funded at the time of the 2014 valuation (somewhat better than the average position).
BT has agreed to pay this deficit off in a 'recovery plan' taking place over a 16-year period, with initial additional contributions of £1.5bn by April 2015, and to follow this with annual payments of £250m until March 2018. between 2018 and 2024, the payments will follow the outline of the 2011 recovery plan (totalling £4.8bn) and these will be succeeded by five annual payments of £495m to 2029, plus a final payment of £289m in 2030.
In addition, BT has also agreed to continue to the existing protections under which it provides matching payments to the BTPS where distributions to shareholders exceed a certain threshold; and to make additional contributions to the scheme equal to the value of one-third of any net proceeds it makes from disposals where these exceed £1bn net in any particular twelve-month period. In both cases, BT has committed to consultations with the Trustee of the scheme should it be considering any event which may trigger these protections.
The scheme finances will be kept under close and ongoing review and will continue to be formally reviewed every three years by an actuary - with the date of the next valuation being due before June 2017. It may be that these payments and/or the period of the current recovery plan will need to be adjusted in the light of experience at that point.

One of the Oldest in the County
Samaria Baptist Church was organized on Saturday, August 15, 1828 in the home of Levi and Miriah Walters about 3/4 miles north of the present site of Paragon. Three men and four women of Little Mount Church in northern Wayne township, Owen county comprised the charter membership of the new fellowship. On the two days that followed, this group met "at White River at the mouth of Burkhart Creek: and "at the crossing of the Big Indian Creek" according to the church minutes and at these places recieved and baptized 10 additional members. Throughout the years the number of members has increased, more than 700 names are listed on the records and 50 pastors have ministered to Samaria Church. A complete record in five volumes of the business meetings of the church has been preserved during the 136 years history of the church.
The first church clerk, John Durham, served for nine years. He kept the records from 1829-1838 and recopied verbatim in his own handwriting these nine years of records into a larger book to turn over to his successor. His original copy has been placed on display in Morgan County Shadow Box in the Governors Room of the Indiana State Museum. In May of 1965, this little book was awarded a blue ribbon when historical art objects were judged by a committee with Superintendent of Public Instruction William E. Wilson as chairman.
The first pastor for 11 consecutive years of Samaria Baptist Church was Rev. Benjamin Arnold, who was ordained by Little Mount Church, Little Mount Church building was torn down in 1937 and some of the materials were used in remodeling Samaria Church building.
At the time of its organization in 1829 and a few years thereafter the infant church met in the homes of its members, by various watersides, and at the Gibbons Schoolhouse. About 1835 a log meetinghouse was built and later moved to the present church property which was deeded to Samaria Church by David and Hannah Gibbons on July 28, 1835. In September of the same year, David Gibbons was buried in the portion of this property to be used for Samaria Church "with the exception of a reserve on the south end" of a specified tract " for the benefit of a neighborhood school and burying grounds forever" in the words of the original deed, which Samaria still has in its proud possession.
The log meeting house was replaced by the present building in 1860. It was one of the earliest frame buildings to be built in the area and was made of local timbers. This one room structure was enlarged and remodeled in 1937. The 100th anniversary was observed with an all day meeting in 1960. This building has survived three major wars and has undergone many changes as shown by the types of lighting used. In March 1885, kerosene lamps were purchased; on October 10, 1915, the ladies aid was authorized to dispose of the old lamps and a carbide lighting system was installed. This system was replaced in 1941, when electricity was brought into the community, with electric wiring from funds of the ladies aid treasury.
Many great revivals have been held through the years. In December, 1923, the largest on record added 38 members to the church. This group was baptized the following summer in Porter's Cave Branch. Porter's Cave Park joins the church property on the west.The park managers cooperate with the church in an outdoor sunrise service each Easter since 1958. Indiana Youth Temperance Council camping at the park each year, use the church for some of their programs.
In 1965, Samaria had 70 members, about 1/4 of whom are non resident. Vacation bible school is held each summer; Sunday school meets each Sunday and church services are conducted on alternate Sundays. The ladies aid meets monthly.
The above was written originally by Blanche Burnett, Samaria Church Historian

How to Get Rid of Autoimmune Disease Naturally at Home
You sometimes feel you have gone crazy. You don't feel well – you realize you have become irritable and anxious, there are bouts of dizziness, and most times, you are exhausted for no real reason. But your doctor has not been able to really say what the problem is. He has taken your full medical history, he has sent you for several lab tests and you have to complete still more. In all probability you are suffering from an autoimmune disease – in such a situation, it is quite difficult to zero in on the cause of your symptoms: what is more, there are so many types of autoimmune diseases, that each one of them exhibits different symptoms. But do not worry – complete the tests and allow the doctor to arrive at a correct diagnosis. Thereafter, switch over to Natural Therapy, which will help you get over most of your symptoms in a natural way, without going for drugs and prescription medicines which may only make you feel worse.
🙂 Happy Success Stories

If you are suffering from an autoimmune disease, it means that your immune system, which is meant to protect you from diseases and infection, attacks its own tissues in various organs with antibodies produced by itself. If this surprises you, you will perhaps find it difficult to comprehend that some of the more familiar disorders in everyday life, such as fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or CFS, Thyroid problems, Lyme disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriasis, Bowel diseases, etc. are all autoimmune diseases. The variety of symptoms exhibited by these diseases is well-known, and in such a situation, a proper diagnosis will go a long way in helping you get rid of the problem. Each of these diseases has several symptoms in common with other autoimmune diseases,while at the same time having a few characteristic symptoms as well, and it is the latter which a medical practitioner will make use of to give you a correct report.
A weakened immune system is the basic cause of autoimmune disease. Several factors play a role in weakening it – stress including PTSD,and anxiety being in the forefront. Combined with other unwanted habits such as alcoholism, eating junk food, etc. this can throw the body's metabolic processes totally out of gear while playing havoc with the immune system as well. Infections if not treated on time, are another cause of weak immune system. Food additives and preservatives and dyes, and intolerances to certain food items are all contributing factors.
Removal of the cause of the autoimmune disease can help in restoring normalcy to the body. The liver is one organ which accumulates a good amount of toxins. A good liver detox programme can therefore be a good way to begin your treatment. There are several natural methods by which this can be done.
Clearing the body of all infections is another important method of getting rid of autoimmune diseases. In this regard, amla is a great natural disinfectant and can be used with advantage on a daily basis till the symptoms disappear. Aloe vera is another useful natural substance which helps reduce inflammation and infection.
The herb ashwagandha is known for its ability to reinforce the immune system.
Drinking plenty of water is another way to keep the immune system in order.
Apart from diet and lifestyle, there are several other natural methods by which autoimmune diseases can be brought under control. Some of these include acupuncture, homeopathy, chelation and detoxification,lymph massage, etc. More details on these, as well as other natural methods of removing autoimmune diseases, can be had from a Professional Natural Therapist who is the best person to guide you in the matter.

The plan for today was to spend the morning getting our shit together, have lunch and then head off down to the Gower.
And that is basically how the day panned out. We took a leisurely, almost casual, approach to packing that comes from familiarity of what is needed for a week at Pwll Du. There is no need for suit cases or soft luggage as the car can be parked a few feet from the door to Ship Cottage and shopping bags are far better suited to this task.
During the morning we were visited by Jules and later by BMS and SMS who all came to wish 30% Birthday greetings and to hand over gifts and cards.
Hayden also arrived and we talked through the final jobs that need to be completed as he he should be finished by the time we return home from our week away.
A late lunch was eaten and it was no more than twenty minutes work to load up the Defender. TP was given last minute instructions* and the dogs were put in to the car.
It was half past two and we were finally setting off. The Defender was superb on the motorway and it's sixth gear makes cruising at seventy enjoyable rather than the deafening experience of the Td5.
Within an hour or so we had crossed the border in to Wales and were making great progress. As we passed a sign post for Abergavenny I has a nagging suspicion that I should have turned off. I asked 30% to turn on the Sat Nav and it was at this point we learnt that it's battery was flat and that the Defender's 12 volt outlet wasn't working.
The net result of this minor hiccough was that we travelled to Swansea down the M4 rather than our more usual route down The Heads of the Valleys road.
We arrived at Pwll Du shortly before five o'clock and negotiated the rock track down the side of hill to the bay. I had forgotten how steep it is in places but we were soon at the bottom and fording the river before parking up outside the cottage.
It was so nice to be back here and our familiarity with the accommodation meant that we were settled in within minutes. The log burner was lit, beer was poured and steaks were soon sizzling in the pan.
It really doesn't get much better than this.
* He is working over the weekend and wildly travel down to join us on Sunday.

No Kidding.... AAA to BBB- And Back To AAA Within One Week
Sieht ganz so aus als mein erster positiver Gefühlsausbruch in Sachen Rating Agenturen ( siehe No Kidding..... S&P Is Acting Responsible & Threatens To Blow Up Fed´s CRE Bailout Stunt Via TALF ) ad absurdum geführt worden ist. Was da gerade abgeht kann man getrost als neues Allzeittief in Scahen Unabhängigkeit & Glaubwürdigkeit von S&P betrachtenbetrachten. Wer da wohl "interveniert" hat....... Bleibt hier zumindest zu hoffen das Bloomberg Recht hat das vorerst nur 3 CMBS aus dem Jahr 2007 die Wiederauferstehung feiern durften.....UPDATE: S&P Commits Professional Suicide With Ratings Round Trip, Underlying CRE Remains Toxic Garbage via Zero Hedge & July 22nd, 2009S&P upgrades CMBS to AAA week after downgrading to BBB- R. Winkler
S&P Reverses Ratings After Downgrades
In a reversal in its evaluation of a clutch of mortgage bonds backed by commercial property, Standard & Poor's on Tuesday raised the ratings on several securities it had downgraded a week ago.The move came the same day the Obama administration detailed a plan to overhaul regulation of credit-ratings firms by requiring increased disclosure and stronger oversight, and curbing the practice of "ratings shopping."
In the S&P action, among the bonds returned to the top-notch triple-A category from the triple-B minus category are securities that make up the benchmark GG-10 deal.The ratings firm said it raised the ratings following the implementation of its "recently updated criteria."
S&P spokesman Adam Tempkin said in an email that the firm had received inquiries from market participants on how it applies losses in the AAA category "that prompted us to clarify our approach. In doing so, we are also introducing refinements to the approach."
The upgrade means that these bonds are now eligible for a Federal Reserve program that offers investors cheap loans to buy them.
S&P Restores Top-Ratings to Commercial-Mortgage Bonds
July 21 (Bloomberg) -- Standard & Poor's backtracked on ratings cuts issued last week and raised the ranking on commercial mortgage-backed debt from three bonds sold in 2007.
The securities, restored to top-ranked status, had been downgraded as recently as last week, making them ineligible for the Federal Reserve's Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility to jumpstart lending.
S&P lowered the ratings on a class of a commercial mortgage-backed bond offering from AAA to BBB-, the lowest investment-grade ranking, on July 14.
The New York-based rating company reversed the cut today, S&P said in a statement. In a related report, S&P said it adjusted assumptions on the timing of projected losses on the mortgages.
Debt rated below AAA isn't eligible for the Federal Reserve's TALF. Investors sought $668.9 million in loans from the Fed to purchase so-called legacy commercial mortgage-backed bonds on July 16, the first monthly deadline to finance the purchase of the securities.
S&P's CMBS flip-flop FT Alphaville
Let's be very clear here: one week ago, according to S&P's "independent judgment, testing and analysis" a clutch of Goldman's CMBS ransactions were deemed sufficiently troubled to merit deep downgrades.
One week and some "refinements" later, and "class A-2, A-3, and A-AB commercial mortgage pass-through certificates from GS Mortgage Securities Trust 2007-GG10″ are back to triple-A.
CMBS-saga, cause and correlation
FT Alphaville presents the following CMBS-saga timeline:
- May 19 - Fed announces that it will expand the Talf to include certain legacy CMBS.We're not suggesting these events are related, but you have to wonder …
- May 28 - S&P warns it will likely downgrade tens of billions of AAA-rated CMBS after tweaking its ratings methodology, including CMBS owned by Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse, JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley, among others.
- May/June - Investors slowly cotton on to the fact that Talf-eligible CMBS needs at least two triple-A ratings.
- June 16 - The initial subscription for Talf loans for new CMBS fails. No one applies.
- Early July - S&P is reportedly "crushed with client calls" about the proposed new ratings.
- July 16 - Investors ask for a paltry $668.9m at the second Talf legacy CMBS offering. (By way of contrast, an estimated $300bn to $500bn of CMBS is scheduled to mature this year).
- July 21 - S&P reverses its decision to tweak its CMBS rating methodology.

Thanks to more than 2,000 acres devoted to Vidalia onions, Shuman Produce Inc. and its RealSweet Vidalia onions have become one of the most recognized and trusted brands of the Georgia specialty crop in the industry.
"More than 23 years ago we decided that we could do more collectively than individually," said John Shuman, president and chief executive officer of the Reidsville, GA-based company. "That commitment to our family of farms is our strength. Our team of experts, coupled with years of combined experience, allows us to supply the very best produce to our customers — year after year."
Coming off the Peru season, which Shuman said was a huge success for Shuman Produce thanks to import numbers of more than 1,000 containers of sweet onions, Shuman Produce's early projections for Vidalia are strong. He said the crops are looking great, harvest is in full swing, and yields are strong. That has created stable market prices.
"The last two years, crops produced exceptional yields. However, due to lower temperatures and colder weather, yields are expected to be back to normal," Shuman said. "Demand for Vidalia sweet onions is strong, and we project overall industry yields will be down compared to the last two years — which were bumper crops."
In 2018, Shuman Produce is unveiling its newly redesigned secondary display bins, which Shuman noted have an attractive design intended to grabs consumers' attention.
"This bin is well-designed, offers helpful usage tips and health benefits," Shuman said. "The small size makes it convenient for merchandizing with limited space. They are great to display RealSweet Vidalia onions both inside the produce department, and in other departments. Pairing items that are commonly bought with sweet onions helps drive sales throughout the store."
The company expanded last April with the purchase of a Vidalia onion packing facility and 620 acres of farmland. Since that time, it has made extensive renovations to improve efficiencies and modernize the facility. These include a new shipping cooler, a state of the art Compac grader-sorter, new bagging machines, new drying/curing rooms and additional cold-storage capacity. They also purchased more than 9,000 new macro-plastic bins.
"Every decision we make is to improve our overall program, and to provide consistent customer service, quality and innovative marketing to our customers," Shuman said. "Vidalia sweet onions can only grow in a small area in southeast Georgia. Our unique soil and climate are what make these onions the sweetest on the market."
Shuman Produce understands the key to growth in the Vidalia onion industry is to educate younger generations on the many health benefits of eating fruits and vegetables.
"Making that information readily available to consumers, along with great tasting recipes, boosts the movement toward healthier food choices," Shuman said. "This is what Produce for Kids is all about."
Shuman founded Produce for Kids in 2002. Since then PFK has been dedicated to educating parents and children on the benefits of eating fruits and vegetables, as well as supporting charitable organizations such as Feeding America. The program and its partners have raised over $6.4 million dollars benefiting children.

Fear of god Letra
Ahora puedes escuchar y aprender la canción "Fear of god" de Cinder.
Fear of god lyrics
V1) the half of me which i have that i don't understand,
Hasn't quite come to terms with the half that i planed.
And how to cope with this projection that i wrap myself around,
Then ask why no one seems to mention that they've looked but never found.
C) what i wanted to believe, x4
Is what i see, but it's not there.
[ De: https://www.dicelacancion.com/letra-fear-of-god-cinder ]
V2) i want people to know how it feels to be burnt,
And i want them to stay there until they have learnt.
Become accustomed to confusion and know that thoughts weren't meant to play.
And then using your illusion let your children learn that way.
Mid) if i wait around for hours,
Would the fire i lit be put out by the rain.
And then watch the falling towers,
And take my joy in picking living from the sane, but they're not there.

I would like to give Nello Donaggio a standing ovation. He was my friend and he passed away on 6/08/10. He had some amazing stories and was so sincere and humble. I remember at one of the Grace conferences, I was rather moved during the music and he came up to me and gave me a hug, not one of those grab and throw you away hugs, but a hold for a little longer hugs. They're the best kinds.
Human contact is a necessity. I will miss you Nello.

Patmos is famous as a religious destination. This is an extremely important destination for the Orthodox pilgrims as Saint John chose this island to wrote the Book of Revelation (Apocalypse). Patmos is crowned by the Medieval Monastery of Saint John which is a pole of attraction for thousands of Orthodox visitors. In fact, Patmos tourism is based a lot on religious travelers. Although tourism in Patmos has developed a lot over the last years, the island remains very traditional.
Despite the strict character of Patmos, it is pretty much developed with great tourist facilities. Tourists can obtain information from the tourist office in Chora concerning their stay there. Tourist police is also available at the busiest spots of the island, therefore they should feel safe.

Are any of you doing the Primitive Gatherings Christmas Sew Along? Is it just me, or was Block 4 the block from H#%*? Either the cutting directions were slightly off, I measured wrong, or my stitching is no where near as good as I thought it was. That was one frustrating, wonky block. I may end up doing it over. Not happy with the results.
I am also getting tired of making dime sized flying geese blocks. I swear if the blocks stay this complicated I will switch out the pattern for Churn Dash or Snowball blocks. Maybe a 9 patch.
Arrrrggggh. I am just frustrated. I had a whole day of sewing available to me yesterday and chose to work on the sew along blocks. I had planned to finish four blocks (two each of Block 4 and Block 5). Dream on. I had nothing but mechanical problems. My Rowenta steam iron died a week ago and I am using a lesser quality Rowenta which spits and sputters. I tell you I have bought my last Rowenta iron ever. If they only last a year, I may as well buy Black and Decker or Sunbeam for $25. My main Bernina sewing machine is in the shop for repairs, so I am using my back up Bernina. Now I remember why it is my back up machine.
That darn machine will not sew over *anything*. I am not even talking about sewing over pins--this machine is so touchy the thread breaks when I sew over a seam. On the last block, I swear the thread broke 20 times. I can't wait to get my main machine back from the shop, and that man had better not slap a sticker on it like he did last time. Don't mess with me, I'm on a tear.
Hope you all have better luck sewing this weekend than I had today!
UPDATE: Just wanted to emphasize that it isn't my intent to discourage anyone from participating in this sew along. My advice is to go slow, check the PG website for any corrections and see how it goes. If the block seems like it has too many pieces for you or looks way complicated, your should feel free to switch out the block pattern for a simpler design. There are a ton of lovely 6 1/2" unfinished block designs you could swap. The Farmer's Wife books have some great ideas, as does Judy Hopkins' 501 Rotary Cut Quilt Blocks book.
A red and white quilt is always wonderful, so jump in and make your own version!
