HOUSTON - Hines, the firm that developed the tallest office tower in Texas, is expanding the size of its skyscraper proposal for a major scale office tower on Main St.
Hines confirmed that the development company was planning to build a Class A 41-story tower with 815,000 sf at 609 Main St. However, the project is now planned to be a much larger building with high-grade amenities.
Hines is moving ahead quickly and the tower is expected to be Houston's next completed skyscraper.
"Because of demand, the building's size is expected to grow from the initial 815,000 sf concept," said John Mooz, senior managing director in Hines' Southwest Regional Office.
The height and size of the building won't be finalized until fourth quarter of this year when design of the tower will be finished.
Hines is expected to break ground before the other proposed Houston skyscrapers: The Market Square area building by Linbeck/Essex/Stream, the Skanska project at 811 Rusk and the proposed Chevron building at 1600 Louisiana.
The building will be located at the southeast corner of Main and Texas Ave. The Hines site is known as Block 69.

I've bought Feel The Steel and Balls Out. Both albums are AMAZING! I love the fact that they're not only funny as hell - their songs are REALLY catchy!I'm seeing them when they're playing in Stockholm with a friend. I hope to see not only a great and funny band but lots of boobs.

Hey, the length is fine Thanks!

Me and my buddy is starting a Steel Panther coverband. We're going clothes/accessory-shopping this weekend.
Only King could mis-spell a LETTER.
Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.
guitar cozmo rockshe knows how to party hardwhere are the strippers?
That was awesome. I love how spontaneous Steel Panther are, and yet they're always still awesome. How cool would that be as a fan to be able to do that? They made that dude feel like a total rock star.

If you could have a three-way with any two 80s metal babes, who would you pick and why?SteelPantherBand-Lexxi: Bobbi Brown, Tawney Kitaen, or Sebastien Bach depending on how high I am.
No, it doesn't make your 'friend' gay, just cool. Jerking off to us doesn't make him gay, just the name Parker makes him gay.
Put the words "metal band" and "Sunset Strip" together, and you pretty much know what to expect.Steel Panther has no intentions of breaking the stereotype.The LA band has it all -- big hair, bright spandex, garish logo and total glam-rock bombast a la Poison or vintage Van Halen.The difference is none of those bands ever topped the Billboard Comedy Chart like Steel Panther did with its 2009 major-label debut, "Feel the Steel." It featured the hilarious anthem "Death to All But Metal," along with such deeper tracks as "Fat Girl (Thar She Blows)" and "Party All Day ([Expletive] All Night)."Steel Panther is a metal parody band (or is it?) fronted by Michael Starr, whose track record includes stints with Route 66 (with Ratt drummer and Pittsburgh native Bobby Blotzer), L.A. Guns and Van Halen tribute band Atomic Punks. Steel Panther -- also featuring guitarist Satchel, bassist Lexxi Foxx and drummer Stix Zadinia -- started out as Metal Shop and Metal Skool, and with the name change and record deal, it toured the UK with Def Leppard and Motley Crue, opened for Guns 'N Roses and played the Download Festival in England in 2012.Tonight, the band arrives for its second Pittsburgh show, still touring on the late 2011 release "Balls Out." In advance, Foxx, the glammiest member of the band, filled us in on Steel Panther's heavy metal exploits.So, how is your tour going so far?Right now we're in New York City. It was great, because we got to play Boston. That was really cool. It was probably the highlight because I think those people needed a metal band to come in there and kick their ass. It was a lot of fun, but we're looking forward to coming to Pittsburgh because I think the last time was 2009. Hopefully we'll pack it out.If you had a daughter, would you let her come to the show?I would totally let her go to the show. But I just wouldn't let her have a backstage pass. I wouldn't let her get near any of them especially Stix, and Satchel, and Michael, because they like to ... yeah, I wouldn't let them come backstage.They always say about your band, "There are those who get it, and those who don't." Who exactly doesn't get it?Stupid people. Mostly people who are dumb and just don't like metal. People who probably listen to, like, Oingo Boingo and Hoobastank and [expletive] Natalie Imbruglia, stuff like that. Stupid people. Because if you know anything, [expletive] metal rules, and we're bringing back heavy metal. Probably "stupid people" would be my answer.I noticed in the poster for Rocklahoma that Papa Roach and Bush are in bigger letters than Steel Panther. Your reaction?It's a bummer, but at the same time, when we were writing our letters, I didn't know how big our letters and their letters would be. I wonder if they wrote their letters on purpose to be bigger than our letters. I think they just have bigger letters than we do. It doesn't really bum me out that they have bigger letters in their band name than we do. We're going to go out there and bring heavy metal back and I don't care if they have bigger letters or not.Great. Is there a mix of love and hate when you play those festivals?I don't think so. I don't see that anybody hates. ... The people who hate us just don't watch it and the people who like us do. Nobody's ever come up to me and said, "You look stupid in your long ...." [pause] Yeah, people said that. But they haven't specifically said, 'Hey, I hate your band.' It's more like, "Hey, dude, you look like a [expletive] sissy," "You look like a girl." It's more like that kind of stuff: "You're dumb, that's why you have blond hair because you're stupid." But they don't say mean things about the band, it's mostly just me, and those people are insecure and ignorant and they were raised by probably monkeys or wolves or something, you know.You guys specialize in '80s metal. What do you think of metal like As I Lay Dying and Between the Buried and Me?Well, so you mean the different kind of metal than we are? Well, metal is metal. Personally, I don't get all the screaming and hootin' and hollerin' and all that stuff. I don't listen to that type of music, but I still think it's pretty badass because it has all the heavy guitar riffs and stuff. Like Lamb of God and Machine Head, they have really cool guitar riffs.And I know Randy [Blythe, of Lamb], and he's great, but I don't understand what he's saying when he's singing or yelling or anything. So, I can totally respect what their metal thing is, but I like bitchin' metal like Whitesnake where you see girls dancing on cars and you see wind blow into bitchin' dudes' hair. That's the kind of metal I like. More like the glam side than that I-hate-my-mom side.I understand that there's kids all over the world who are in their bedroom and hating their parents. We're just trying to bring back the fun metal. A lot of these groups probably grew up without parents, that's the only thing I can imagine, and that's probably why they're so mean.You've had a bunch of famous musicians jam with you. What are your favorite guest appearances?I would have to say Chazz Kroeger from Nickelback. We call him Chazz because we're friends. It's always really cool, because I never listened to Nickelback that much, but then we got to be friends and now I listen to a little bit, because we were like, "Dude, we should collaborate." That's a long word. "We should start working together." "Dude, totally, that would be awesome." So we went to his house in Vancouver and totally put him in spandex. I was just bummed he cut his hair.If you notice on Nickelback's latest record there's some metal things in there. So if we can turn anyone into doing heavy metal, that's awesome. And Justin Hawkins from The Darkness was really cool. He jammed on our last record. We're going to have a couple guest stars on our next record, and I don't know if I can tell you who they are, but he's in a band that rhymes with Mef Eppard, and I'm not getting give it away, but his name rhymes with Mivian Flampbell.Got it. So, what's up with playing Chad Kroeger's wedding?Yeah, yeah, we got tickets. I don't know what I'm going to wear, but we already have our tickets and everything like that. But the biggest thing is what I'm going to wear. Kind of like a Britny Fox meets Cinderella outfit is what I'm going to come up with.You're working on a new album. Are you playing any of the songs on this tour?No, no, we're not. We're just going to wait till the record comes out, but we have a song that we think we're going to release in late summer, early fall. It's a party song. It's the best party song we have so far. People have been wanting it to be in movies and stuff already, so we have to get it ready. It's almost mixed and mastered. But we have to wait till it gets on air because people will just tape it and sell it and we won't make any money. They'll be recording at our live show and play it for their friends and that's [b.s.].Have you considered any rap collaborations?We were going to hook up with Lil Jon and do something, but he was on "The Apprentice" or something like that, the Donald Trump show. We would always like to do something like Aerosmith did, get with bitchin' rappers. That would be totally badass. As of right now we don't have any plans. We just saw Snoop Dogg yesterday. He was in one of the same interview buildings we were at -- should've asked him then. He's badass-looking and he's so tall. I didn't know how tall he was. I wanted to give him a big hug.So, are you coming to the show?Yeah, I'll try to make it. And, uh, I'll bring my daughter.Yes! Do that. Please.

Curanderismo is a Mexican American healing tradition. It encompasses acupuncture and homeopathy among other alternative modalities. Its theory presumes that illnesses have both natural and supernatural sources; alleged supernatural sources include evil spirits and brujos (practitioners of magic, who may take the form of owls, coyotes, cats and turkeys). The word curanderismo is derived from the Spanish verb curar, which means "to treat," "to cure" or "to heal." Folk healers in this tradition are called curanderos.
This traditional healing system, blending Native American and Hispanic healing techniques, involves herbs, massage, diet, prayer, spiritual medicine, psychic healing and magic. It integrates beliefs from Aztec, Spanish, spiritualistic, homeopathic and modern, scientific medicine. It contains many elements based on experimental observation (observing the outcomes of specifically designed experiments) and encompasses some of the same scientific concepts and procedures as Western medicine, such as the use of herbal medicines for certain conditions. Although curanderismo is a based on traditional beliefs, it is still common in Hispanic-American communities in the southwestern United States, as well as many Latin American countries, Mexico and Peru.
Many believe that only curanderos can cure certain types of illnesses. In selecting a curandero, the preference is often to select one within the family or extended family if possible.
People seek help from a curandero for physiological, psychological and social maladjustments such as headache, gastrointestinal distress, back pain, and fever, as well as anxiety, irritability, fatigue, and depression. Even bad luck, marital dissension and illnesses caused by "loss of spirit" may be treated. Treatment may involve physical, spiritual and mental approaches. However, currently there are no available well-controlled clinical trials to support these claims.
While some aspects of curanderismo may be practiced at home, such as using folk remedies for minor illness, many people pursue the specially trained and gifted curanderos (men) or curanderas (women). A curandero usually obtains his or her knowledge of healing passed down from close relatives or learned through apprenticeships with experienced healers. In some cases, their healing powers may be described as a sacred and mystical gift received later in life. Most curanderos claim that their ability to heal involves divine energy being channeled through their bodies.
Practitioners of curanderismo believe good health is achieved by maintaining certain balances, such as a balance of hot and cold, or of the spiritual and physical. In order to treat a person, curanderos often classify the patient's physical activities, food intake, drugs consumed and illnesses as hot or cold and treat the person to restore a balance of both. Supporters also claim folk illnesses such as mal de ojo (the evil eye), susto (fright), and empacho (blockage of the digestive tract) can be treated by curanderismo. To treat these illnesses, the curandero may perform barridas (ritual cleansing) to rebalance the body and soul of the patient.
The curandero's treatment may consist of rituals, herbal antidotes, potions or counter magic, depending upon the ailment. Many curanderos use recetas (prescriptions) that involve drinking water at certain intervals or various other simple treatments. Sometimes the treatment may consist of contacting the brujo, either supernaturally or directly, and demanding that the hex be removed. If the brujo refuses to cooperate, the curandero may hex the original "hexer". Part of the cure might also reside in identifying and locating the hexing agent and eliminating it. If dolls, such as voodoo dolls, were used, the curandero may attempt to find and destroy the doll. The treatment may also involve the eradication of objects magically injected into the victim's body, such as a lizard or a worm.
Love curses, which originally used the victim's photograph, are typically counteracted with rituals involving counter magic. For example, the curandero may press the victim's picture face-to-face with a picture of Christ, or place it on a small altar and perform religious rituals. The curandero's rituals often employ Catholic symbols such as crucifixes, rosaries or holy pictures.
Prayer is a strong foundation of curanderismo. Curanderos generally have strong religious faith and believe that they were given the ability to heal as a gift from God. In the course of a treatment, curanderos may pray to spirits and/or Catholic saints for help in healing their patients.
A traditional healing session may include any combination of spiritual cleansing (limpia), ritual, prayer, massage, and herbal therapy. Curanderas may use herbs and spices, eggs, lemons, flowers, fruits, holy water, pictures of saints, crucifixes, candles, incense, and oils in their healing sessions. Each object has a specific purpose. For example, holy water may be used for protection from negativity or evil spirits. Eggs and lemons patted on the patient's body to absorb negative energies may also be used. Rosemary, basil, and rue branches may be brushed on the body to remove negativity. Candles can be burned to absorb negative energy and create a healing environment. Different colored candles are burned for different reasons: red for strength, blue for harmony, pink for good will. Incense may be used to purify the room, while garlic and oils may be used as protection from negativity and bad spirits.
Treatments may also include balancing the patient. For example, a curandero may bleed for fevers, or blood-let to get rid of excess blood. Herbs, emetics and diuretics may also be used by a curandero to balance the body. Certain foods and medicines are considers "hot" and would be used to correct an excess of "cold", and vice versa. Penicillin, for example, is considered to be a "hot" treatment, and would be avoided if a person were thought to have a hot disease. Cilantro, a cold food, is often recommended in hot diseases, while pork, which is hot, might be avoided. Examples of hot diseases may include diabetes, acid indigestion and hypertension. Examples of cold diseases may include menstrual cramps, pneumonia, and colic.
To relieve the physical and spiritual manifestations of illness, curanderas may use a number of special tools and treatments. Limpias, or spiritual cleansings, are done by "sweeping" the body with a bundle of herbs or an eagle feather to remove negative energies. Often an egg is first rubbed over the body, broken and placed in a glass of water, allowing the practitioner to "read" the person's energy so the treatment can be individualized. Soul retrievals are ritual ceremonies done for patients who are suffering from soul loss, which can be caused by early abandonment, traumas such as rape or unresolved grief for loved ones lost by death or divorce. Soul retrievals allow people to become fully integrated and whole, by reclaiming the part of them that was lost. Healing ceremonies may incorporate holding or burying symbolic articles, fasting, prayer, religious artifacts, chanting, drumming or drinking specially prepared infusions.
For physical illnesses, herbal mixtures, poultices, or teas are often recommended. A poultice is a soft moist mass of bread, meal, clay or other adhesive substance, which is usually heated, spread on cloth and applied to heal an aching or inflamed part of the body. One cure for a headache is to place a slice of raw potato over each temple. Dandruff is treated by rinsing hair with juice from the olivera plant, a type of cactus.
To reduce the size of an overly large "energy field," the curandero may beat the air around the patient's head with a large feather, then roll an egg around the patient's face before cracking it open into a glass.
The treatments given by curanderos can vary widely depending upon the nature of the illness or complaint.
Curanderismo is based on many philosophical theories, however, eight key philosophical premises underlie a comprehensible curing world view of Latino patients:
Disease or illness may follow strong emotional states (such as rage, fear, envy or mourning of painful loss).
Being out of balance or harmony with one's environment can also cause disease or illness.
A patient is often the innocent victim of malicious forces.
The soul may become separated from the body (loss of soul).
Cure requires the participation of the entire family.
The natural world is not always distinguishable from the supernatural.
Sickness often serves as a social function, through increased attention and rallying of the family around a patient, thus reestablishing a sense of belonging, referred to as resocialization.
Patients respond better to an open interaction with their healer.
In the Latino worldview, the mind and body are inseparable; there is no perceived dichotomy between emotional and somatic, or bodily illnesses. The idea of psychosomatic illness is a very ordinary thing for most Latinos. One of the main causative factors behind any physical-emotional illness in the Latino culture is the belief that illness is the result of having experienced some strong emotional state. Because of rage (rabia), one suffers physically from destructive rage (bilis). Three other common folk syndromes linked in Spanish to emotional experience are awesome fright (susto), which can scare the soul out of the body, "envidia," the distressing effect of strong envy, and "tristeza" which is unresolved natural mourning or sense of abandonment. This identifies, within the cultural construct, that strong upsetting emotions and reckless impulses can cause interpersonal and intrapsychic distress. Along with susto, envidia, and tristeza, bilis is a folk syndrome caused by an emotional upset leading to the imbalance of bile.
"Bilis" is considered a natural disease caused by furious anger combined with fantasies of revenge. It occurs when a person is badly frustrated or not treated well by others. It is believed that in this condition, bile pours out of the blood stream and the person "boils over" causing vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, dizziness, nightmares and inability to urinate.
Other factors besides strong emotional states that are theorized to cause sickness are: lack of balance or harmony inside and outside a person, dislocation of either real or imaginary parts of the body and diseases of magical or supernatural causation, such as punishment by a saint. It is believed that the human body is healthy when it maintains an exact balance of opposed qualities, such as hot and cold, or moisture and dryness. An excessive amount or deficiency of one of these qualities will cause illness. Curanderismo focuses on balancing the body.
Because curanderismo is focused on an underlying theory that body and soul are inseparable, the role of religion is important because a person in curanderismo is conceptualized as a soul that happens to have a body, while in more modern ideas of medicine and curing a person is first and foremost a body, which may or may not have soul. The practical thought is that a curandero can treat the soul, and then later, or not at all, treat the body. Based on this theory, a curandero may start treatment by having tea with a patient and talking about the cure, therefore treating the psyche, or the soul, first.
Studies show that curanderismo is currently still practiced in San Antonio, Texas, though its practitioners tend to be older, making its future unclear. Several significant characteristics of the practitioners were clarified such as the process of becoming a healer, referral practices, types of disorders treated and treatment of the traditional folk illnesses. It has been confirmed that most of the practitioners and their patients concurrently utilize the folk medical system and the scientific medical system.
In Mexican American communities, curanderismo folk healing traditionally has played an important role in meeting important healthcare needs of residents. However, researchers who study healthcare do not often consider the role of folk healing among elderly Mexican Americans, resulting in little knowledge available about its use by this group. In a recent study, 25 Mexican American elderly people participated in extensive ethnographic interviews about folk healing (curanderismo) and its influence on health care behaviors. The participants generally relied on modern medicine to treat serious injuries and major health problems, but still considered traditional folk healing a practical substitute in situations in which modern health care was unsatisfactory or ineffective.
Two case reports exist that describe psychotic Mexican American patients who were successfully treated with an approach that integrated curanderismo. This suggests that cultural considerations may be successfully incorporated into a treatment plan of optimal benefit for an individual patient.
Bilingual nurse-curanderas are an emerging group of health care providers. This group provides culturally appropriate and proficient care to many Hispanics, a large minority group in the United States. Nurse-curanderas incorporate curanderismo (Hispanic folk healing) with allopathic health care, evaluate safety and efficacy, and implement appropriate interventions. The balance implemented by this health group reduces cultural conflict increases patient compliance with the treatment regimen, thus improving outcomes.
There is no well-documented scientific evidence available showing that curanderismo cures any disease. However, some people report it helps to reduce pain, relieve stress and promote spiritual peace. A study in 1977, which looked at the relationship between Mexican American populations and folk medicine, suggested that curanderismo should be looked at more closely by conventional medicine. Researchers proposed that a better understanding of folk medicine, such as curanderismo, might help physicians treat their patients more effectively by helping them understand patient fears and beliefs.
Patients' cultural beliefs may affect acceptance of healthcare, compliance and treatment outcomes. Physicians who wish to provide appropriate and acceptable care in a cross-cultural setting should attempt to understand the basis of folk medicine and integrate these beliefs with conventional medicine. Failure to recognize curanderismo's importance for some patients is a commonly encountered obstacle to better treatment.
There is no known reported scientific evidence that curanderismo is effective in the treatment of diseases based on scientific trials. However, there are some individual reports that curanderismo may help to improve symptoms, reduce pain and relieve stress.
There are no well-documented harmful effects. However, some treatment by curanderos may involve taking unregulated herbs and teas. Relying on this type of treatment alone, and avoiding conventional medical care, may have serious health consequences. Also, if the treatment involves acupuncture, this may carry a risk of infection.

Still, Cormier - who wasn't too thrilled with Jon's presence in NY - knows a do-over against "Bones" is likely next once the Jones completes his one-year suspension for a failed drug test in a matter of months.
The dust has barely settled from Daniel Cormier's victory over Anthony Johnson in the UFC 210 main event, but already the UFC light heavyweight champion is laying the ground work for a number of upcoming fights. Beats me. I'm just as flummoxed as you are.
We haven't heard from Jones since that tearful interview that followed his failed drug test last July which forced him off the monster UFC 200 card on just days notice.
Johnson retired in the Octagon immediately afterwards and Cormier said that he could do the same thing without any regrets, even without a rematch with Jones, who inflicted his only professional UFC defeat. "I don't think any eyes are going to be closing except for his", said UFC light heavyweight challenger Anthony Johnson. His previous bout was a second-round KO of fourth-ranked contender Jimi Manuwa, and all three finishes earned him a Performance of the Night bonus from the UFC.
"But either way, I'll have to fight Jon at some stage regardless so I wouldn't be against the idea of testing my skills against him". "This was my last fight", said an emotional Johnson.
The light heavyweight division has been a hot topic for the UFC for years at this point, with Jon Jones in and out repeatedly over the years, and Daniel Cormier's emergence as champion. I gave my commitment to something I've wanted to do for a while.More news: Patriots sign Super Bowl hero Butler, may trade him
Such a ploy could have helped Cormier balance some of his weight on the towel and off the scales, helping him make the cut.
"I feel if people don't want to believe that I've matured a lot, then they don't have to, and it's up to me to earn that trust", Jones said.
Three months from completing a yearlong doping ban, Jones said Friday he is focusing exclusively on reclaiming the light heavyweight title he's lost twice due to suspensions.
"I hope Anthony Johnson is not walking away from this sport".
The fight began with Cormier and Johnson each throwing powerful right hands. But this time, Cormier reversed position and used a trip to put his foe on the mat. He was able to get a high under-hook and keep Johnson against the cage. He won a fight.

Boooom! Booom!
A massive destructive sound awakened Maria one morning. Followed by the shaking of the ground, she tries to get up from the bed to get ready for school. Mining has started again in their town and scene like this is no longer a surprise to them. Almost three fourths of the hill has already been literally flattened and miner's job seems not yet done.
Crasshhh... creaaak... rrumble...
Big rocks and trunk of woods toppled down the slope. Destruction of our natural resources and mass consumption of fossil fuels lead to global warming and extreme climate phenomena. In fact, the year 2005 was recorded as the hottest in recorded history and over the past century human industrial and agricultural activities have started to the build-up of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases which traps earth's outgoing radiation leading to an enhanced greenhouse effect and a warmer earth.
Education is still an effective vehicle for bringing global warming into our collective consciousness. Knowing the how's and why's of our mother earth could lead to better understanding about frightening warm weather, extreme floods, extinction of animals, and even melting of the polar ice caps. Youth plays an important role on mobilization of everyone.
Don't let Maria's dream of a cool fresh breeze of air be a dream forever. Working together with our peers and the community can address the problem of our mother earth. This is the role of youth-led initiatives in the green economy. Young people are not only the future, they are also the now. More than 45% of the world's population is under 25, with 1.3 billion young people living in developing countries. Over the last two years, consultations and research work with youths have demonstrated that they can make a difference in fighting earth's destruction through their actions and advocacy activities in youth organizations. Youths are key agents of change.
Roaar… croaak… tweeet…
Nature's harmonious sounds, do we still hear these today? Or the future lies on the ipod's and flat screen TV's just to experience these natural wonders.
Ticktock... ticktock...
Earth's clock is running out and its calling everyone's attention before it is too late. Climate change is one of the biggest threats of our time, like a big bomb waiting to explode, don't let this happen to the world we live in. The alarm of hope is ringing and it's calling our awareness, this is the perfect time to act now before it's too late. Solutions are lying within the hands of our future generations. Green economy such as environmentally sustainable enterprises, technological innovations (new sources of clean renewable energy), energy efficiency measures, etc... Youth can contribute! And yes! There is hope for Maria and her town.

The percentage of people living in extreme poverty around the world has fallen by more than half over the past three decades (via Dina Pomeranz). According to a recent study, a significant majority of respondents from several countries are unaware of this achievement. I wasn't aware either!
On a side note, Oxfam is on the news again with their report on wealth inequality. Oxfam's method is quite questionable and there are lots of articles out on the web criticizing it. Last year, Tim Harford addressed this issue in his podcast More or Less (brilliant podcast, btw). You can listen to this explanation in this 10 minute-audio.
ps. the shortcomings of Oxfam's estimates do not imply we face low levels of global inequality, but they do distort the numbers in a way that attracts lots of headlines.

Hello there,
It's just a short post today.
But I wanted to tell you all about a place that's really special to me.
I always look forward for the time I can take my place in this little spot again. I regret the times I have to say goodbye to that spot, even if I know that spot will return. I look forward to this place for me almost every day of the year. Because I really feel it's that special little spot just for me. I can forget, I can have fun, I can be happy and sparkly and be me. It's a very nice spot.
It's the little spot I fill when I'm working as a Maid in the Dutch Maid Cafe at the anime conventions in Holland. It's my little spot at Sparkling Potpourri.
I might not be the best maid, or the cutest. But I love my little spot as a Sparkling Potpourri maid with all my heart and I hope I can keep on being a Sparkling Potpourri maid for many many many years to come.
I just wanted to tell the world how much I love my little spot.
If you can, please come see us at one of the dutch conventions and help me and the rest of the maids to stay with you for many many many years.

October 4, Dear Governor Cuomo,
- Sara Nichols
- 3 years ago
- Views:
1 October 4, 2012 Dear Governor Cuomo, We in the medical and scientific community in New York State are pleased that our efforts to bring the public health impacts of the largest land use decision in New York State's history to the attention of the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and Department of Health (DOH) and to the forefront of the SGEIS process have been heard. We were heartened that in DEC s September 20, 2012 announcement regarding a health review, Commissioner Martens wrote: Only after this evaluation is completed will a decision be made about whether to permit high volume hydraulic fracturing in New York. Obviously if there was a public health concern that could not be addressed we would not proceed. However, a DOH review of work already prepared by DEC on this topic is not enough to answer the question of whether there is a public health concern that cannot be addressed. New York must commission a full Health Impact Assessment to better understand the impacts of fracking (meaning the whole process of gas extraction, from site development to delivery) on public health and the measures needed to protect our communities. DEC Commissioner Joseph Martens September 20 th press release rejecting our request for a Health Impact Assessment and announcing DOH s review of DEC s work brings several concerns and questions to mind, including: What is the health impact analysis document currently under DOH s review and who will have access to it? Will the questions we've been asking about the health effects of air and water pollution, soil contamination, radon, community impacts, worker safety, psychosocial stress, developmental toxicants and endocrine disruptors, and social justice be addressed in this review? Will there be transparency and how will that be achieved? Will it be inclusive of all stakeholders? Will the DOH which previously had expressed that health impacts were adequately addressed in the 2011 draft of the SGEIS now be able to do an objective review, and if so, what has changed? What is the process for this review? What expertise does DEC have to conduct a health analysis in the first instance? Our foremost concern is that the review proposed by Commissioner Martens differs significantly from the Health Impact Assessment (HIA) we requested. A comprehensive Health Impact Assessment, is a process designed by the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control, and outlined in a guidance document by the National Academies of Science,
2 for precisely the kind of decision which DEC is currently weighing. An HIA is: Transparent; Inclusive of all stakeholders; A recognized process which includes several public health tools; Conducted by an entity with public health expertise; and Includes public participation throughout the process. We have received no indication that DOH s proposed review will meet these standards. There also seems to be a misconception about the Health Impact Assessment process, alluded to by Commissioner Martens in his statement that the decision making will remain a governmental responsibility. A Health Impact Assessment informs and provides recommendations to the decision makers, and does not, in any way, take away the decision from the decision makers. In closing, we would like to offer the following observation for your consideration. Commissioner Martens rightly refers to the need to establish the legitimacy of the regulatory process if the controversy that has engulfed shale gas fracking in New York is ever to be resolved. We suggest that you consider, in the face of the overwhelming recommendation of the medical communities of New York State that a Health Impact Assessment be undertaken, what the consequences would be if a credible one is not undertaken and fracking proves to be a health disaster. It will be impossible to contain the damage to the State s credibility and authority in this area. Your Administration seems to have recognized that fact in responding to the demand for some health review, but to do so in this halfhearted and questionable way is to once again ensure your well meaning efforts will be counterproductive. The only way to create the basis for public trust that fracking can be done without major threat to public health is to do a truly independent, truly comprehensive, truly transparent assessment, one done with all stakeholders and relevant experts at the table that demonstrates that is the case. We urge your most careful consideration of these concerns. Governor Cuomo, we ask that you join us in advocating on behalf of the most vulnerable, assuring that social justice is achieved, and that the relevant scientific information is in the hands of the decisionmakers yours as well as DEC s. We request that a copy of the DEC generated health impact analysis referenced in the Commissioner s press release be made available to the public and that you re consider the proposed DOH review, and instead commission a full and transparent Health Impact Assessment. Sincerely,

Hi, Modesto Estrada here with the Microsoft Office Sustained Engineering Security team. I wanted to shed even more light on last month's blog post regarding the future availability of the Office File Validation backport. As we move forward towards our release (CYQ1 2011), we will continue to update this blog with additional information for customers. Please watch this space for future posts on File Validation. Topics we plan to discuss in the future are deployment of … as well as troubleshooting issues.
Today's entry is about the user experience and what you will see when Office File Validation fails and the Office Trust Center.
When we were creating the dialog boxes for failed file validation, it is a general concern that users have grown accustomed to dialog boxes, and click through them without even reading the message. In an effort to dissuade any apathy, we've taken a more aggressive stance by communicating the potential for malicious intent. When a user opens a Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or Publisher 97-2003 file (what happens during the open), and that file fails Office File Validation the user will be presented with the following dialog box (this is the Default Behavior).
This will allow the user the ability to either cancel or continue opening the document. In this situation we strongly recommend that the user select cancel and notify the creator or sender of the document's potential issues.
At any time, if you feel a document you have may have been compromised please feel free to send your file to email@example.com.
NOTE: Microsoft Office 2003 and 2007 do NOT have Protected View which would allow opening of the documents in a protected sandboxed environment. Protected View only exists in Office 2010.
Office 2007 Trust Center
With the introduction of Office Trust Center in 2007 you can use this in conjunction with Office File Validation. By setting a trusted location in the Trust Center any files opened from this location will NOT be run through the validation process.
Add your document location to the trusted path
For IT Pros:
As an IT Admin we all know some users can be quick to click through dialog boxes. Office File Validation will provide you with the ability to set a registry key via Group Policy which will prevent the user from even opening the file.
The following registry keys will change the file open behavior (to be documented in a TechNet article once our File Validation backport is live).
Value: InvalidFileUIOptions
Type: REG_DWORD
Default: 0
Description: When Office File Validations fails
0 = Notify user file failed. Give user the option to load the file or not
1 = Notify user file failed. No option to load the file.
If the dialog is displayed on the users' machine Office File Validation will also log an event in the Application event log. This will give you the ability to remotely look for validation failures across your organization.
Windows XP
Windows 2008
Office 2007 Trust Center
You can set the trusted location via Group Policy.

Manna - "What is this?"Being called to live in the mystery of God's daily GracesLord, I feel like it's feast or famine. I'm either searching for a "crumb" of manna like a bad game of hide-n-seek, or in a blink of an eye, things change and there are way too many crumbs to pick up.
In some ways, it's almost harder for me to have multiple possibilities (crumbs) present themselves because I start thinking how will they all "compliment eachother" (taste)... But then you remind me, that's not my job; that's Yours! You are the Master Chef and You are providing the gourmet meal (and that's a relief since I don't cook!)!I only need to sit down, push my chair to the table, place my napkin in my lap, and enjoy one crumb at a time. I mean really, who enjoys scarfing down all their food at once anyway? You are teaching me to savor each morsel.I have to constantly remind myself that You will reveal information to me as I need to know. I just need to look at my plate like a posh seven-course meal rather than a family-style dinner where everything eventually touches or gets mixed together. I don't need to see everything that's on my plat du jour or eat all my courses at once. Part of living in mystery is enjoying each course for it's uniqueness, it's presentation and of course... the taste. Lord, help me to slow down and anticipate each course with bated breath, not knowing what delectable delights await.Today is one of those days. Lord, help me to savor each crumb as You present it, and allow me to salivate for the one following, knowing that You know exactly how to create a feast for the senses.
Ready with my fork,Lynne

Lomography Workshops, the Place to Be1 Share Tweet
If you don't know this already, Lomography Gallery Stores all over the world feature several workshops every month! What are you waiting for? Sign up for an exciting workshop now by checking out events under the magazine tab!
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to go down to the Lomography Toronto Gallery Store, for their Diana Mini Workshop! If you don't know already, workshops are $10 or $7 for students! It's a great deal but the deals are not over yet! With that price, you get a great information session, a loaner camera, one free roll of film, 10% off on all merchandise in the store, and an afternoon of fun!
I had an amazing time learning about the Diana Mini and a lot of different cool techniques that can be used with it! This includes the classic double exposing and panoramic shots. It was a great afternoon and I met a lot of different lomographers from all over. By the end of the day, I finished two rolls of film. Walking around the blocks behind the Lomography Store there were a lot of interesting things to see, perfect for all lomographers!

Mediterranean Diet- the near perfect diet!
The Nearly Perfect Diet Linda J. Kees, R.D., L.D., CNSC "One should eat to live, not live to eat" Moliere
Would you like to follow a diet that may help to prevent heart disease, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and Type 2 Diabetes? Of course you would!
In addition to lowering your blood pressure with this diet, you can also lower your weight and cholesterol. This high fiber, heart healthy diet also includes red wine, berries of any kind, snacks such as pistachios and delicious seasonings such as fresh garlic. There is no one perfect diet, but this one comes close! What is this diet? It's the Mediterranean diet.
Many recent studies show that the Mediterranean diet is more effective than a low fat diet in lowering your cardiovascular risk factors such as high blood pressure and cholesterol. The basis of this fantastic diet is vegetables, fruits, nuts, beans/legumes, grains, pasta, potatoes, olive oil, Greek yogurt and cheese daily. Weekly, you can eat eggs, poultry, fish and sweets.
A few times a month, red meat is allowed. Red wine is also included in moderation, which equates to about 1 glass daily. Eating the Mediterranean way is tasty and quite simple as shown by the sample meal plan below:
Breakfast (the most important meal of the day!)
½ cup Steel cut Oatmeal topped with ½ cup plain Greek yogurt, ½ cup raspberries, 10 walnuts and a dash of cinnamon.
Midmorning Snack
1 tablespoon nut butter, spread on apple slices
1 whole wheat pita bread, cut into triangles (for scooping hummus) ½ cup hummus (see recipe to make your own) 1 cup sliced red peppers or carrots (for scooping hummus) 1 kiwi fruit
Afternoon Snack
1 ounce pistachios (about 40) 1 Satsuma or small orange
3 oz salmon 1 cup brown rice drizzled with olive oil
1 cup asparagus, roasted with garlic and olive oil
½ cup fresh pineapple 1 glass red wine (if desired)
Evening Snack
Whole grain crackers with mozzarella cheese
Hummus Recipe: Hummus is quick, inexpensive and easy to make if you have a blender or food processor. Serves 4
1 can garbanzo beans or chickpeas, drained & rinsed, save liquid
2 cloves garlic
2 Tbsp tahini (sesame paste, found in peanut butter section of store)
2 Tbsp Lemon juice
2 Tbsp olive oil
Salt/pepper to taste
In food processor or blender, place beans, garlic, tahini and lemon juice, process until smooth. Slowly add oil while processing. If needed, add bean liquid to thin hummus. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve with warm pita bread, pita chips or vegetables.
Why does this diet work? You may have heard of the "French Paradox", where the French people are known to eat lots of fat and high fat dairy products, yet have very low occurrences of cardiovascular disease. The Mediterranean diet works much in the same way. Although the Mediterranean diet has been criticized as being high in fat, what really matters is the type of fat that is consumed.
Extra virgin or virgin Olive oil and nuts contain monounsaturated fats which are known to help lower cholesterol levels and decrease inflammation in the body. Fatty fish who live in cold water, such as salmon and mackerel, contain Omega-3 fatty acids which also decrease inflammation and may decrease heart disease risk factors.
The ancient Greek physician Hippocrates (circa. 460-370 BC), known today as "the father of Western medicine", prescribed garlic for a wide range of conditions and illnesses. Hippocrates promoted the use of garlic for treating respiratory problems, parasites, poor digestion and fatigue. Fresh garlic contains potent anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties and may decrease risks of cardiovascular disease and cancer. Red wine contains the antioxidant resveratrol, which decreases inflammation. Red wine also contains quercetin, a flavonol, which is anti-viral and decreases inflammation. More studies need to done on quercetin, but so far, the results have been positive.
By replacing meat with beans, legumes and nuts, the fiber is increased and these foods contain a more desirable type of fat which causes less inflammation to the body. The majority of this diet is fruits, vegetables, pasta, grains, cereals, potatoes, nuts and legumes. Just by adding more fruits and vegetables alone will improve most of our diets. If you haven't tried quinoa before, this is the time to do it! Quinoa (pronounced Keen-wah) is a high protein, high fiber seed that is fantastic as a cereal, side (try a pilaf) or in a hearty salad. Before cooking, it is essential that you rinse the seeds first, otherwise, you will taste a bitterness. Combine the seeds with water in a saucepan and cook as directed on the package (usually about 15 minutes). Try a Corn, Quinoa and Avocado salad, recipe below.
Corn, Quinoa and Avocado Salad
This easy and healthy recipe will feed 6.
1 cup quinoa
2 cups broth
15oz can of black beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups frozen corn
1 avocado, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 red onion, diced
1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
1 lime, zested
salt/pepper to taste
Quinoa: always rinse first, then cook as directed on package using broth instead of water. Set aside. Combine beans, corn, avocado, tomatoes and onion. Add salt, pepper and lime zest. Add 1/2 of cilantro. Toss cooked and cooled quinoa with olive oil and add salt/pepper to taste. Serve by spreading quinoa mixture on a platter, then top with bean/corn mixture and remaining cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
The Mediterranean diet is one that should be followed over a lifetime. The foods are very palatable and simple, which makes it easy to follow. The added bonus is that you won't have to give up red wine if you are already drinking it. Our lifestyle and overall health in the U.S. is much different from those in Mediterranean countries (Italy, Greece) and we should take lessons from how they live to improve our health. Those lessons include: Eating healthy, exercising daily, spending time with loved ones, getting adequate sleep and making time to take care of yourself. Salute!

About 1,000 elderly residents rallied at Sunrise Lakes Phase III Wednesday night to protest President Reagan's proposed cuts in Social Security and Medicare benefits.
"Ronald Reagan promised us he would not cut Social Security benefits," said Larry Friedman, board member of the National Council of Senior Citizens and one of a handful of speakers. "We've got to show him we know this is betrayal."
Friedman also chastised Reagan for his coming trip to Germany, where he plans to visit a cemetery that includes graves of Nazi SS soldiers.
"The shame of this nation is that we have a president that speaks such bold- face lies, and it is an insult to us," Friedman said.
Friedman's speech roused the crowd, most of whom live in one of four phases for senior citizens at the sprawling complex off Pine Island Road. The seniors object to a Republican budget proposal, backed by Reagan, that would cut $52 billion from the projected $230 billion national deficit.
Among the targeted areas, the proposal calls for 2 percent Social Security cost-of-living increases, regardless of the inflation level. If Congress approves the package, Medicare premiums also would increase from 25 percent to 35 percent over the next five years.
The angry crowd hissed at Rep. Larry Smith, D-Hollywood who sent an aide to deliver a speech, and cheered at talk of mustering forces to stop the cuts.
"The bottom line is the question of equity," Smith said. "Belt tightening is necessary if we are to reduce the ballooning deficit. But we cannot ask those least able to pay to bear more than their fair share."
The residents signed cards, bearing "Don't cut the COLA (cost of living adjustment)" slogans, to send to U.S. Sen. Lawton Chiles Jr., D-Fla., as they joined senior citizens around the United States in the National Social Security and Health Care Campaign. They vowed to fight the president until the battle is won.
