I have chosen to keep my daughter in ESL (English as a Second Language), despite the fact that English is her first language. I apologize for the fact that your tax dollars will be paying for that, but as you will see, I had very little choice about it.
First, let me explain how a native English-speaker ended up in ESL:
My husband is Mexican-American, and speaks both English and Spanish at a native level. I was born here, but am nosey and stubborn, and when I was 16 I decided that I didn't want anyone ever to have to translate for me. Within a few years, I was also speaking Spanish at a native level.
When we had children, we were determined to raise them bilingual. The catch was this: my husband and I were accustomed to speaking only English to each other, and habits are hard to break.
As awkward as it felt, from the first day of my daughter's life, we spoke Spanish to her. I remember speaking to her in Spanish the first time I held her in my arms. It felt forced and unnatural. I continued to do it anyway.
We knew that she would be surrounded by English, and the risk of her English crowding out her Spanish was very real. Seeing our nieces and nephews, who looked Hispanic but would go cross-eyed the minute you said "Hola", kept us motivated.
Eventually we relaxed and let the English slowly creep in.
My daughter's linguistic evolution has been fascinating to watch:
1 yr old: Completely mixes the languages, doesn't realize that some people only speak one language, composes sentences such as "Esta es una bird."
1-1/2 yrs old: Still mixing languages mid-sentence, but reacts with surprise when an English-speaker talks to her in Spanish, or vice-versa.
2 yrs old: Monolingual sentences, speaking to people in the correct language
3-5 yrs old: English gradually dominates, Spanish stagnates. Can translate effectively from Spanish to English, but struggles with the reverse. Reads well, but only in English.
Up until she was about 2, I wondered if her English would be good enough for Kindergarten. By the time she was 3, it was clear her English was as strong as that of any monolingual child her age.
That was why I was surprised when, one month into Kindergarten, I received a note from the school. The note–written only in Spanish–said they had tested my daughter and determined she needed ESL.
I completely hit the roof. Who told them to test her anyway? Did they just look at her say, "Well, her last name is Torres. We should probably put her in ESL."
When I spoke to the school, I discovered that:
- They are legally required to test the English level of any child who speaks another language
- My daughter didn't pass because her listening skills were just below the mark (Kindergarteners are known for their listening skills.)
- Regardless of what I say, do, or throw at them, they will continue to test my child yearly and harass me about putting her in ESL
- If I do nothing, she will not be taken out of class, but will have a teacher sent into her class who will give her individualized attention
- I can sign a waiver to keep her out of ESL, but the only thing that will accomplish is to prevent her from getting some extra attention in a sea of anonymous students.
I don't want my child in ESL. I'm quite unhappy that she has been inappropriately classified without my consent. I am also too busy to take on the entire school system right now, and I don't see the point of depriving her of some extra (if completely unnecessary) attention.
I should mention that this has happened to at least 8 other families I know. Some of those cases are far more ridiculous than my own (some of the children only speak English.)
So again, I apologize. This is just one more way your tax dollars will go to waste.

Ahhh fall, the greatest season of them all. There is so much to love about fall: sweater/sweatshirt season, the cool, crisp air, the pumpkin patch and corn maze, apple cider, football, and even those beautiful leaves piling up on your lawn.
Raking leaves gives you the perfect opportunity to get out of the house and enjoy the fresh air, while getting in a workout at the same time, and besides your yard will look great when you are finished.Read More

Xerces Society expands by uniting with Bee City USA
The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, a Portland-based conservation group, has merged with Bee City USA and Bee Campus USA , expanding the group's efforts to promote and protect pollinators.
The Xerces Society is a nonprofit organization, begun in 1971, which works with scientists around the world to study and protect butterflies, bees and other small critters. The merger gives it a new presence in local communities.
Currently there are 69 self-designated bee cities and 46 bee campuses. Each affiliate resolves to publicly address and explain what they'll do to raise pollinator awareness, ensure habitat creation and reduce pesticides. Each campus affiliate infuses pollinator conservation into curriculums.
Wilsonville is the only Portland-area Bee City community, but the Xerces Society hopes the merger will inspire more towns and cities to join their movement, said Matthew Shepherd, Xerces Society's director of communications and outreach.
Phyllis Stiles, founder and director of Bee City USA, said that in joining forces, Bee City and Bee Campus will gain support and future stability, while the Xerces Society may access a broader community of exuberant pollinator advocates.
"The organization we launched in 2012 has far exceeded our hopes for engaging communities in pollinator conservation," Stiles said. "Now, the Xerces Society is uniquely qualified to provide the capacity we need to take it to the next level."
Stiles will join the Xerces staff to coordinate Bee City and Bee Campus' expansion, assuring both programs' continuity through the transition.
"Because of Bee City USA, there is a network of communities from coast to coast working to address the decline in pollinators," said Scott Hoffman Black, executive director of the Xerces Society. "This can-do initiative tapped into Americans' desire to help pollinators, and I am very happy that we'll now be working together to maintain the momentum of the Bee City movement."

3 Ways to Make DIY Solar Energy More Affordable Posted on 19 Oct 07:30
Choosing a DIY solar energy system is significantly less expensive than paying a professional photovoltaic contractor to do the design and installation work for you.
Even with the do-it-yourself discount, however, the price can still seem out of reach for some homeowners.
Are you concerned about budgeting for a DIY photovoltaic system? Use our top tips to bring down the cost and make the investment in solar energy much more affordable.
Invest in Efficiency Before Switching to DIY Solar Energy
The smaller the DIY photovoltaic system you need to power your home, the less it will cost. And if you make your home more efficient, you'll be able to install a smaller system.
What can you do to boost your home's energy efficiency? Start by checking out the Home Energy Saver (HES) tool from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Enter your ZIP code and details about your household, and you'll get a personalized report suggesting upgrades.
According to the HES, investing in energy-saving upgrades can save you 20 percent or more on electricity bills. With the lower rate of household energy consumption, you won't need to buy as many solar panels to create a photovoltaic array capable of providing enough power for your home.
Claim the Federal Solar Tax Credit and Other Incentives
Save even more on the cost of your DIY photovoltaic system by taking advantage of the many financial incentives available for going solar.
The federal solar tax credit offers you 30 percent back on system installation. State and local grants, rebates and tax credits can also significantly lower your costs. Many homeowners are able to cut their expenses by 50 percent or more, thanks to these lucrative incentives.
Where do you find more information about solar incentives? Head to the DSIRE website, the U.S. Department of Energy's Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency. Plug in your ZIP code to see a detailed list of the financial incentives available for homeowners in your area.
Finance Your DIY Solar Energy System
Don't worry if you don't have enough cash in the bank to buy your DIY solar power system outright, because you have other options.
Solar GOODs accepts all major credit cards, including Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express. We also offer affordable financing options for your convenience.
Visit our DIY solar payment options page for more information.
The easy-to-use Solar GOODs website has a variety of tools and information to help you design an affordable photovoltaic array that will satisfy all of your household electricity needs. Visit our online superstore today to learn more, and to get started with planning your DIY solar energy system.

Fiscal priorities: Teachers and Medicaid fraud
The Edwards Administration has just released reports stating that public school teacher pay hikes are their top priority for 2019, and that Governor John Bel Edwards plans to recommend an election year salary increase of $1,000 per year (costing the state $50 million annually). However, when you follow the money you see that this teacher pay hike is a drop in the bucket compared to the increased spending on Medicaid. With that being said, what should Louisiana's fiscal priorities be?

The Bank of Montreal (BMO) has extended its naming rights agreement for the Maple Leaf Spots and Entertainment (MLSE)-owned BMO Field for the next ten years, reports, www.sportspromedia.com/.
The stadium, which is the home of Major League Soccer's (MLS) Toronto FC, is currently in the midst of a US$140 million renovation. The Canadian Football League (CFL) side the Toronto Argonauts will join Toronto FC as the ground's tenants later this year.
In addition to the ten-year naming rights deal for the stadium, BMO will also serve as Toronto FC's front-of-shirt sponsor for the 2016 MLS season. According to Sports Business Journal, the value of that deal is likely to be around US$4 million over the year. Financial terms of the BMO Field deal were not announced.
"Today's long-term naming rights renewal with BMO is symbolic as construction progresses on BMO Field to provide a world class stadium experience for Toronto FC and its fans, for the Toronto Argonauts as they move to a classic Canadian outdoor football environment, and for the City of Toronto," said David Hopkinson, chief commercial officer at MLSE.
"BMO is a partner that has been with Toronto FC, and the stadium, since day one and plays an important, supportive role as we look forward to exciting things at BMO Field this season and in the years to come."

On November 30, 2017, at approximately 10:20am Camden County, Missouri, advised Morgan County that they had a pursuit with a dark colored Dodge truck and Sunrise Beach Police Department was advised to watch the area. Camden County lost sight of the vehicle and the pursuit was terminated. At approximately 11:13am, on November 30, 2017, a 911 call was received by Morgan County 911 advising of a possible bank robbery at U.S. Bank located in central Versailles, Missouri. The reporting party from U.S.Bank stated that a male subject wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and a bandana over his face had entered the premises and demanded money. Thereafter, the suspect left the bank and entered a dark colored Dodge truck. One of the patrons of U.S. Bank had ran across the road to call 911 from O Reilly Auto and thereafter followed the suspect vehicle until Versailles Police Department came into contact with the dark colored Dodge truck at the four-way in Versailles.
The officers had their emergency lights and sirens activated and the dark colored Dodge truck refused to stop. A pursuit in the city limits of Versailles, Missouri, proceeded westbound on Missouri Hwy 52 toward Stover, Missouri. During this pursuit the speed of the Dodge truck exceeded 100 MPH.
At this point Versailles Police Department was being assisted by the Morgan County Sheriff s Department and the Missouri State Highway Patrol. Approximately ten different law enforcement vehicles were involved at this point of the pursuit. As the suspect Dodge truck approached the east city limits of Stover, Missouri,
and the Stover Police had staged had their vehicle as a roadblock. As the suspect Dodge truck approached the roadblock the driver fired approximately four rounds from a handgun at the Stover officer and then continued around the roadblock through Stover, Missouri.
The pursuit then continued and the suspect Dodge truck eventually exited the roadway at the west city limits of Stover, Missouri, striking a parked vehicle and then crashing into a tree behind a business in Stover. Law enforcement officers were then able to close in on a male suspect who exited his vehicle and began to flee on foot. Sheriff's officer made first contact with the suspect at which time a struggle began and the suspect and Sheriff Officer went to the ground. The suspect was then restrained by multiple other law enforcement officers and placed under arrest. It should be noted that during the pursuit Versailles Police and Stover Police placed the Morgan County R-II and R-I schools on lockdown to avoid any danger to children had the suspect fled in that direction. The suspect, later identified as twenty-five year old Jacob Allen Monteer from Overland Park, Kansas, was transported to the Morgan County Sheriff s Department. It was discovered that the vehicle he was operating was stolen out of Kansas and he also had a stolen handgun in his possession. Multiple criminal charges are being drafted to refer to the Morgan Count Prosecuting Attorney. The FBI is assisting in the ongoing investigation.

I have a 20 year old mare that has started choking when she eats. Her teeth have been done, I've put big rocks in her feed dish, I've tried wetting her grain (she refused to eat it) and I've mixed chopped hay in with the grain and with all of this, she still chokes. Any suggestions?October 10, 2016 at 6:44 pmAlfredoSauceAlfieTopics Started: 2Replies Posted: 7
I'd check with your vet before you listen to any medical suggestions online. Your vet will know what to do and how to show you how to take care of her properly. Good luck!October 14, 2016 at 2:48 pmJoe-JoeTopics Started: 17Replies Posted: 1205
While waiting for the vet to arrive, you can give her a mix of mineral oil and warm water by syringe, to help pass whatever is causing the choke to move through. When I first got Joe Joe, he was low horse on the totem pole, and often pushed out of his feed. I was told to give him more grain after riding him (too much more, in my opinion), and found that giving it to him a little bit at a time solved the problem. Now that he is the king of everywhere, he no longer gobbles and so does not choke. Perhaps giving small amounts might help you?

I have been through lots of choke with some older rescue horses from New Holland and just recently with a horse I just purchased this year. This is what my veterinarian suggested. After choke, Banamine for a few days, no dry hay or grain for 5 days. This means soaking both. For the hay I just use a muck tub and fill with hay then water and let it soak. Then I rinse and re-wet. I also was told that hay stretcher/extender is for some reason common with choke. My Vet. told me that it might help if I put my horse on an extruded food I believe it softens in the esophagus quicker than most grains. Once there has been choke there is a chance of scar tissue in that area which may cause additional choke incidents. Hope this helps.November 20, 2016 at 12:45 amQHloverTopics Started: 0Replies Posted: 1
I would definitely check with a Veterinarian and a certified equine dentist! I had a pony who was in his twenties and he would choke on his hay. We got his teeth done but he would still choke. We then took him to another dentist who said his teeth were so old that (the ones he had left) were rounded off, like marbles. This made it nearly impossible for him to do anything more than mash up the hay a little which he then would either spit out in wods or he would choke on. We ended up feeding him soaked cubes which solved our problem.November 29, 2016 at 9:08 pmriding for ChristTopics Started: 1Replies Posted: 118
As she is 20, she is probably having a hard time swallowing hay. I would suggest to put Canola oil or mineral oil in her feed and hay to help it go down after chewing. You may want to ask your vet to check her throat for ulcers. I hope this helps!January 3, 2017 at 12:22 pmbetsy_medingerTopics Started: 0Replies Posted: 1
Feed from tray on the ground instead of from hanging bucket. More natural position for them to eat from. Definitely helped with mine; hasn't had incident since I switched.
Also try extruded feedJanuary 27, 2017 at 10:00 pmEnter@ATopics Started: 0Replies Posted: 1
I have a 30 year old mare whose choke situation seems very similar. I have trouble with her weight as she can barely chew hay. Wetting her grain didn't help either because she refuses to eat any soaked grain. I struggled with different grains and have settled on a mixture of Blue Seal Sentinal senior(higher protein)/performance (higher fat). She has yet to choke on either of these grains(purchased from tractor supply). They have large almost dog food sized nuggets. I grain her with a tub on the ground instead of a bucket or corner feeder. I spread her grain amount over a half hour giving roughly 1 cup at a time every 5 minutes or so. I also keep a Kent feeds equine choice turnout tub in her stall also from tractor supply. It's basically a dense grain lick with vitamins and minerals meant to supplement horses turned out 24/7. I give her access to it while she is inside overnight so the other horses can't push her away from it outside. She can't choke on it because she can't get enough of it loose at a time. I agree with others who suggested getting the vet/dentist. Also try different dentists. I purchased a horse that had regular dental care and my dentist worked on him and said his back teeth were so sharp he cut his own finger on them. All dentists are NOT equal!!

I have a 25-year-old gelding who used to choke on his senior feed. I found an unusual feed tub, called PRE-VENT, which has eliminated his ability to get too much feed at one time. It looks like a muck bucket with muffin-tin type depressions in the bottom. He's used it for a couple of years now, with no more bolting his feed or choking.

Government presents infrastructure bill to Parliament
posted 22.10.2012The Government has presented a new Infrastructure Bill to parliament; the proposed legislation will focus on business investment, new infrastructure and the creation of more jobs.
The proposal includes;
- The introduction of 'employee-owner' status for companies to offer, which will allow workers to hold a financial stake in the firm's growth and success through shares that will be tax free.
- Preventing unexpected hikes in business rates over the next five years.
- Allowing the reconsideration of section 106 on stalled housing sites.
- Simplifying planning application paperwork.
- Increasing the speed of the planning system for large business and commercial projects and when a developer chooses the fast-track route, a decisions will be taken in 12 months.
Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government Eric Pickles, said: "These common sense reforms will support local jobs and local firms. They complement the changes we are already delivered through the Localism Act, from streamlined planning guidance and, shortly, from the local retention of business rates."
Planning Minister Nick Boles said: "The Growth and Infrastructure Bill will boost investment and local economic growth. It removes confusing and overlapping red tape, whilst ensuring democratic checks and balances and environmental safeguards remain in place."
"Britain is in a global race today with rising nations like China and Brazil. Countries like ours will only be able to compete if we make it easier for businesses to invest and quicker for infrastructure to get built."

The very words "Women's Rights" seem strident. Very 60's and 70's. Political. Divisive.
How about "Women's Issues? Better, softer maybe, but "Women's Issues" are, in fact, everyone's issues.
Regardless of the wording, I deeply care about women's "issues" and "rights."
Many years ago, back in the 60's and70's, I was a self-declared "feminist." If anyone addressed me as Mrs. instead of Ms., I took offense. I worked, happily, and for very little salary, on behalf of women's rights and issues in the workplace.
And I loved it.
At a recent seminar, I spied a sign-up sheet for a "women's rights" group. I put my name right on that list. Quick like a bunny.
The first gathering was called. We listed the concerns that we hoped to address and support through our efforts and interests. There was enthusiasm and hope.
It wasn't until I got home, had a glass of wine and looked at my notes, that I realized that the list of issues and hoped-for-rights, was exactly, almost to a word, the same as it had been in the 60's and 70's, when I was so intensely involved and committed.
My energy for that level of involvement and commitment is not the same as it was over 40 years ago. I think that's both understandable and acceptable.
What's not understandable or acceptable is, that after 40 years, that list is still the same.

I've been very interested in alternative education options like Udacity, Treehouse, Code Fellows, Coursera, etc. I speak about them often to coworkers and friends. They probably think I'm working for them. Currently, I'm not employed by any of those companies, but I've definitely looked at job postings more than once. 🙂
I have a background in computer vision/machine learning/robotics from traditional universities. I'm very intrigued by the low cost options, modern content, and relevant skills that many of these companies offer.
I've done a lot of work on some of the websites of the aforementioned companies. However, yesterday I enrolled in my first program at Udacity. I'm excited to learn about deep learning and experience participating in a Udacity program. While participating I'll try to post relevant topics from the program. Hopefully these posts will remind me of what I've learned and can be used for my reference.

can someone tell me how to make own live cd
You can download the latest version (or previous versions) of Ubuntu from www.ubuntu.com and you save the file to your hard disk. It will be a file with the .iso extension which means it is an exact copy of the disk.
An ISO image is not just a copy of all the files on the disk. It is actually a bit for bit copy of exactly where those 1s and 0s are located on the disk itself. Simply copying the file will not work because each individual 1 and 0 needs to be placed in the right place. For that you need software that will burn the ISO image to disk.
You will need to use software to burn it to a disk but for some reason Windows doesn't make it particularly easy for you. If you are working on Windows, you can download a free tool that will burn an iso image to disk. It's called ISO Recorder and you can download it from here: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm
If you are already using Ubuntu, you simply right click the iso file and select Write to Disk (it's so much easier on Ubuntu
If you're willing to pay the postage only, Ubuntu will send you a disk. All of the installation disks can be used as a Live CD as well.
Once you have the Live CD, you can boot up your machine with the CD in the drive and it should boot into Ubuntu and display a menu of options. If your machine simply boots into the old operating system, most likely your machine is set to read the hard disk before the CD drive. You can change this order by going into the BIOS.
Normally when the machine boots you will see an option to press a function key (typically F2) which will display a program called the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) and that allows you to do various machine level changes. Be very careful because you can cripple the machine by making wrong choices... Find the option that says which device is read at boot up and make sure the CD is above the hard disk. If you are worried that you have done something wrong, you can exit without saving anything and your machine will be unchanged.
With the CD searched before the hard drive on bootup, the machine will read the Ubuntu disk before getting to the hard drive.
I hope that's of some use to you. There is plenty of further information on the web especially on the ubuntu forums.

|MAC Eyeshadow in Greensmoke $18 for 1.5g
MAC eyeshadow in Greensmoke was one of the items on my wishlist that I posted a month ago. I ended up receiving it as an early Christmas present and I wore it for the first time yesterday.
Greensmoke is a cool toned light green that looks somewhat grey. It looks kind of boring and not pigmented in swatches but on the eye it looks really pretty and for a colour it looks quite neutral.
|Sorry for the blurry picture. I took this while I was in a rush to get to work on time.
I wore Greensmoke on my eyelid over bareMinerals Prime Time Primer with a tiny bit of Sleek Noir in my crease. For a night out I would wear this over a black base (like an eyeliner pencil) for an easy smokey eye.

AgSource is committed to helping you produce high quality milk to increase your profitability. AgSource offers a variety of solutions to help control the mastitis loss in your herd. Let's face it - no one likes to throw money down the drain.
Mastitis robs dairy producers of nearly $200 per cow annually. This cheats you in various ways: decreased milk production, treatment cost, discarded milk, death and premature culling and plummeted milk quality and premiums. And no one has put a "hassle" value on time spent milking mastitic cows last, hand stripping them and the time treating infected cows.
One infected quarter shrinks production 1,600 pounds per lactation. Each Linear Score (LSCR) increase above 2 decreases milk production by 275 pounds for 1st lactation cows and by 585 pounds for older cows.
You can't afford premium and production losses due to high somatic cell counts in your herd.

When a person in New Jersey suffers from dementia, Alzheimer's or some other mental condition that renders them incapacitated, sometimes the only option is to assign a legal guardian over that person. This is not something that should be rushed into, however. It is only an option if the allegedly incapacitated person is mentally unable to designate a power of attorney, or if they had a power of attorney but revoked it.
What language should be included in a special needs trust?
Many people in East Hanover with special needs, such as a disability or a mental illness, rely on government benefits to make ends meet financially. However, these benefits are often needs-based. If an individual has too many assets in their name, they might not qualify for benefits. This is when it can be important to have a special needs trust.
Can in-home health care be made affordable?
Some people in East Hanover may think it is inevitable that, should they reach an age where they can no longer care for themselves, they will eventually go to a nursing home. However, they may be surprised to hear that most people who reach an age where they can no longer care for themselves remain at home and obtain the care they need through in-home health care. Therefore, it is important to plan financially for the potential need for long-term care.
Medicaid may not cover all costs
Many New Jersey residents have found that either themselves or a loved one has to enter an assisted living facility when they could no longer take care of themselves on their own. According to one source, over 700,000 disabled or elderly individuals in the United States are cared for in some type of residential care communities. And, as the baby boomer population continues to age, the number of people who need to live in assisted living facilities will only go up.
What should you know about financial power of attorney?
When you set up a financial power of attorney, you appoint a trusted individual to make financial decisions on your behalf in the event of incapacitation. That being said, there is no "one size fits all" power of attorney plan. You can determine what issues your power of attorney can handle, and when their authority can kick in. What should you know about financial power of attorney?
What are some benefits of special needs trusts?
When a person in East Hanover has a disabled or mentally ill loved one, they may want to see that their loved one obtains the government benefits needed to make ends meet. This is particularly true if their loved one does not have the ability to work or even take care of their own finances. However, depending on the government benefits, a person can only have a certain amount of assets to qualify. In situations like this, setting up a special needs trust may be appropriate.

His 40th birthday, that is. Here's the obligatory pictures of:
The surprise.
The cake.
The confetti. Lots of confetti.
The crowd.
The Toast.
Here's to the next 40, Stubaby. I want to be you when I grow up.

Those Presbyterians must be draggin' me down--I'm pretty sure I went to a "Campbellite" Christian College...
In our last episode, dear readers, we left our intrepid band stranded in Mexico. To make a long story short, they got to their worksites just fine every day, using the Mexican bus line they had originally hired for that purpose.
However, they still had to get back across the border, and the tour bus they came in wasn't about to re-enter Mexico (said bus having been reclaimed on Wednesday, and yes, a fine was paid). So we arranged for a fourth bus company, Mexicoach, to take the group from camp back across the border. They met at Carl's Jr and (happy chance) I was there at the same time, taking a different group in. But that's another story. So, here's a pic of the Mexicoach handing passengers off to the tour bus. Ron, the driver of the U.S. bus, is in the blue shirt near the front of the bus—a bit frustrated by the events, of course, but a patient and understanding fellow, a class act.
Astute readers may question why there's a police car with its lights on in the foreground...I have no comment.
If they do it again, they'll probably use Mexicoach to transfer people at the border in both directions.
We don't install plumbing or electricity in the houses we build. The only problem with that approach is that, once in a while, the house recipients will decide to beat us to the punch. This homeowner decided to install a toilet and shower drain before we laid the foundation.
This is a hammer. Its name is Roberta. Its owner's name is Tiffany. Hammer, Tiffany, hammer! Don't scratch that paint!
This rare species of van is usually found in large groups, exhibiting mutually-beneficial social behaviors such as the "queue" when resources become scarce. Leadership is well-defined by skin color, with the larger, darker males taking precedence in directing the periodic migrations of the herd.
Note the coordinated display of bright red markings, signifying the vans' acquiescence to the dominant leader, as he signals the end of the day's journey.
These vans are quite docile under normal circumstances. Once separated from the safety of the other vans, however, the Plaustrum Exsputuminum (or "spitting van") quickly becomes agitated. The front, side, and rear doors are puffed out to make the beast appear larger and more threatening, although they are already impressive at nearly 5 tons. In some cases, the hood is also extended. Often, the animal will explosively eject its contents at an attacker, as you can see in this second photograph:
If you see a van with its doors or hood open, DO NOT APPROACH IT. Adult vans can accurately spray their luggage onto an attacker over 15 feet away. In addition, the frightened van may close its doors onto an unsuspecting victim's exposed hand, leg, or head. If you encounter a van in the wild, you should:
March/April and June through August are the best times to observe these gentle giants, as they head south, seeking campgrounds throughout northern Mexico.

Knowing our government, it'll actually be the end of 2009, but still... this is going to cut down our business something fierce.
Howard and Victoria, both excellent chefs, hosted a sushi night at their home in Imperial Beach in honor of Tracy, a field staff member at Amor who is moving on. Here's a big, ugly stitched view from their balcony:
We made a ton of sushi, more than we could eat. Here are some of the creations. I'm sure Ryan is green with envy since he's not in town.
Bye Tracy. Come back real soon.
From Rick Warren:
Another word for heart is passion. There are certain subjects that you feel deeply passionate about and others that you couldn't care less about. Some experiences turn you on and capture your attention, while others turn you off or bore you to tears. These reveal the nature of your heart.
When you were growing up you may have discovered that you were intensely interested in some subjects that no one else in your family cared about. Where did those interests come from? They came from God!
God had a purpose in giving you these inborn interests. Your emotional heartbeat is the second key to understanding your shape for service. Don't ignore your interests. Consider how they might be used for God's glory. There is a reason that you love to do these things.
Repeatedly, the Bible says to "serve the Lord with all your heart." God wants you to serve him passionately, not dutifully. People rarely excel at tasks they don't enjoy doing or feel passionate about. God wants you to use your natural interests to serve him and others.
Riiiight. Tell that to Moses, or Jonah, or Jesus. Those don't sound like "natural interests" to me.
The worst thing about such a "passion-dependent" theology of ministry is that, when you do encounter difficulty, you're going to excuse yourself by saying, "oh, well, that's not my passion," as if we lived in a consumer-driven ministry-market.
When the revolution comes and you're in front of the firing squad, will you comfort those around you? Minister to your enemies? Preach to them? Seek to overcome injustice? Or is that not your passion?
When you
are sent by the Lord to pass by the homeless woman being attacked on the street, will you intercede on her behalf? Physically? Spend time, money, and energy getting her medical attention? Find her a job? Or is that not your passion?
Even if God knows "your purpose" before you were born, you don't. Don't pretend you do.
"...remember all the commandments of the LORD, so as to do them and not follow after your own heart and your own eyes, after which you played the harlot, so that you may remember to do all My commandments and be holy to your God." Num 15:39-40

Codex Adventures in Ottawa
By Cheri Tips - Executive Director - National Health Federation (NHF)
Thursday, May 10th, 2007
35th Session of the Codex Committee on Food Labeling (Ottawa, Canada) April 30 - May 4, 2007
The National Health Federation (NHF) has International Nongovernmental Organization (INGO) observer status at all Codex Alimentarius meetings and represents the interests of health-conscious consumers. There were numerous countries and other INGOs present, interested in various matters from labeling of genetically-modified foods to the labeling of organic foods. Importantly, too, the subject of the FAO/WHO's Global Strategy on Diet, Physical Activity, and Health was discussed.
The WHO Global Strategy
On the opening day (April 30th) of the 35th Session of the Codex Committee on Food Labeling here in Ottawa, Canada, Dr. Margaret Cheney of the World Health Organization discussed, among other things, the amendment of the Purpose of the Guidelines to allow the addition onto food labels of information that would inform consumers as to which foods could help protect them from noncommunicable diseases. If accepted by the Committee, this proposal would be a major victory for the rights of consumers to be informed about certain beneficial health information.
At Codex meetings, country members always get to speak first and they did so with Mauritania, Costa Rica, and Canada speaking up in favor of the FAO/WHO proposal. But, Korea, Mexico, Malaysia, Germany, Brazil, Thailand, Switzerland, Indonesia, and of course the United States spoke up against the proposed language.
Scott Tips, the NHF delegate, timed his remarks so as to have the last word and the NHF was the only INGO delegation to speak out on this issue. Mr. Tips said, "I am very surprised at the opposition shown here today to the well-thought out proposal of the FAC and WHO to amend the Purpose of the Guidelines so as to allow consumers to benefit from health information that could protect them from communicable diseases. I can only say that perhaps some here are influenced by pharmaceutical interests that have a vested interest in a system that has failed for many years to cure noncommunicable diseases. If anything, the Committee should amend the Purpose of the Guidelines to also allow consumers to receive health information on communicable diseases as well, since it is well-documented that, for example, adequate selenium intake will significantly! reduce the risk of HIV infection and adequate intake of Vitamin D will greatly reduce the risk of suffering from the flu virus."
However, with most country delegates (of those who spoke up, still a minority) opposed to any change in the Purpose of the Guidelines, the Chairwoman, Dr. Anne MacKenzie, had no choice but to state that the Purpose of the Guidelines could not be amended but must remain as they presently are. But obviously moved by the FAO/WHO' position and our arguments, she concluded by stating, "which is not to say that this topic cannot be reopened later."
GM Food Labeling
On Day 2 (May 1st) of the Codex meeting, the Committee moved on to discuss one of its major topics, that of establishing guidelines for the labeling of those foods and food ingredients obtained through genetic-modification / genetic-engineering techniques. The Committee's consideration of this issue followed on the heels of its Working Group meeting in Oslo, Norway in early February 2007, to which the NHF had sent a two-person delegation to argue in favor of labeling GM foods so that consumers could knowingly choose whether to eat such foods or not.
The Ottawa meeting's line-up of camps very predictably followed that at the Oslo meeting - the Western Hemispheric grain-exporting countries (with massive GM crops to sell to the rest of the World) against most of the rest of the World's desire to require the labeling of GM foods. In rapid succession, the representatives from Ghana, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, and Cameroon spoke up in support of the Committee's work and the right of the consumers to know whether they are consuming GM foods. The United States' delegate, Dr. Barbara Schneeman then argued that because GM foods were already found safe, there would not be any need to label them as genetically modified. She further argued that because no consensus was reached, the Committee should drop the issue. New Zealand, Mexico, Argentina, Canada, and Australia supported the U.S. position by making the same weak arguments and also claiming that Codex had no mandate supporting the "right of the consumer to know." They all wanted Codex's work on GM labeling to stop immediately - a "waste of time" they called it.
The other delegations didn't see it that way. And as the discussion continued on into Day 3 (May 2nd) of the meeting, the European Community, Brazil, India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Barbados, Mauritania, Switzerland, Gambia, Indonesia, Japan, Nepal, Norway, Ecuador, Granada, Turkey, and each of the individual European countries all diplomatically lined up in support of GM food labeling.
When the National Health Federation's turn to speak came, the gloves came off when its delegate said, "The NHF agrees with the eloquently expressed views of Barbados, Nigeria, Ghana, and Consumers International. The other delegations have been very diplomatic but the NHF will be blunt here. We sent a delegation to the Norway Working-Group meeting and what we noticed both there and at this meeting is that the Grain-Exporting countries have grouped together to protect their financial interests. They want to keep the consumer ignorant because they know that, if informed, consumers will preferentially choose non-GM foods over GM foods. We were also alarmed to see Monsanto company representatives working so closely with some of the Grain-Exporting countries, and even more alarmed when one country's representative announced that 'cons! umers are too ignorant to understand a GM label."
The NHF continued, "Some have argued that 'the right to know' is not a part of the Codex mandate. Whose mandate is it to inform the public? Health Canada, for example, does not even permit non-GM labeling and has acted affirmatively to remove products with such labeling from the shelves. This is not right. As France pointed out, the consumer's right to know is a fair-trade issue.
"And on the safety issue, animal studies have already shown organ damage linked with GM-food consumption. So, there is a safety issue here. For these, and all the other reasons, the NHF strongly supports labeling of GM food so that consumers may know what they are eating."
Chairwoman Anne MacKenzie then announced that work on this issue would continue in spite of the objections of the Grain Exporters and that a physical working group would meet in Ghana to discuss GM-food labeling at a date to be determined.
Advertising Definition
For a number of years, this Committee has been wrestling with a standard definition of advertising that Codex could apply to nutrition and health claims. The problem with the "model" definition was that it was hugely overbroad and would have covered all forms of non-commercial speech! Several delegations had supported dropping the idea of even defining advertising at all.
The NHF also found the definition overbroad and invasive of free-speech rights and made its views known in both written and spoken comments to the Committee.
The Mexican delegation, supported by the United States and some others, proposed a definition that would add the word "commercial" in front of "representation" so that - along with other suggested changes - so that the definition would read: "Advertising means any commercial communication to the public by any means, other than labeling, in order to promote directly or indirectly, the sale or intake of a food through the use of nutrition and health claims in relation to the food and its ingredients."
The Chairwoman found generally broad agreement and support for the Mexican definition and advanced this agenda item to Step 5 (out of an 8-step process). It looks as if this definition will end up being approved by the Commission at some future time.
The Final Report
The last day of any Codex committee meeting is typically reserved for the review and correction of the Final Report of the meeting. Many delegates, thinking this step to be unimportant, usually leave; but this is actually the time to be the most vigilant as the Final Report - as the record of the meeting - often does not fully reflect what happened at the committee meetings. Or, what has happened is hidden by omission or anonymity.
In this case, interestingly enough, the section in the Report that dealt with the GM-food labeling issue anonymized virtually every delegation's position on the issue and left out an important fair-trade argument for GM-food labeling made by several delegations in counterpoint to the U.S. delegations anti-labeling stance. It took almost as long as the original discussion on the GM-labeling subject for the Committee to go through this part of the Report. After several aborted attempts by other delegations to get their statements on fair trade in the Report, the Chairwoman finally agreed to add into the record the NHF's own statement that "since one of the Codex mandates is to ensure fair-trade practices, developing guidelines on GM/GE food labeling would be appropriate."
This is the way that Codex meetings proceed, in fits and starts, and not always fairly. Yet, this Committee is one of the best run of the Codex committees, whether we always agree with the results or not.
Established in 1955, the National Health Federation is a consumer-education, health-freedom organization working to protect individuals' rights to choose to consume healthy food, take supplements and use alternative therapies without government restrictions. With consumer members all over the world, and a Board of Governors and Advisory Board containing representatives from 6 different countries, the Federation is unique is being the only consumer health freedom organization in the world to enjoy official observer status with the Codex Alimentarius Commission.

The influx of just over one million refugees into Germany in 2015 has had plenty of organizational challenges. We described one aspect in the January 2015 post Why are so many asylum seekers born on 1 January?
In the meantime, the world found out that one of the November 2015 attackers of Paris had registered under multiple false names as a refugee in Germany, exploiting delays and loopholes in the system.
This did not come as a surprise to many insiders, and we know this from another chat the blogster had with an official in charge of a refugee intake center. In the context of describing the lack of documents which gets refugees the January 1 birthday, the official said: If I wanted to disappear and get myself a new identity, I'd become a refugee.
Really? Even as a German?
Sure, here is what I would do. First, figure out a place you can claim to be from. Tall, blue-eyed blondes don't really come from Syria, so find a credible origin. Don't laugh, but Chechnya might work for someone with seriously Caucasian looks. You can change hair color, of course.
Next, pick a name. Spend some time on this, because it will be your name for the rest of your life if you succeed.
Throw away you smart phone, get adequate clothes, then make your way to a refugee intake facility in the south of Germany or one of the states that are struggling to cope with the numbers of incoming people.
But I don't speak the language of any of the potential countries of origin!
Not a problem, you need broken English. Watch the Tom Hanks movie The Terminal for a primer.
Don't they take fingerprints and check them?
They do, but there is lots of confusion, there are delays checking them against refugee registration databases of other EU countries, and they don't check against the fingerprints of natives, at least not currently. Of course, giving up all of your previous life is hard, next to impossible for most people, so don't take this as encouragement. I'm only explaining that the system and the sheer numbers of people we need to process in a short time could allow someone to go this route.
Wouldn't it be easier if you had a friend who works at a center and who could get the paperwork done?
Probably, but I'm thinking of writing a novel when I'm done with the job, and that's one of the plot lines. Germany seen lots of disappearing acts in the 20th century, for example the story of Hans Ernst Schneider, an SS guy, who ditched his persona in 1945, took on a new identity, married his wife a second time, went through college again, got a second PhD and became a liberal college professor. He was unmasked over 40 years later, and stripped of his pension and titles because someone found old photos from first life.
So, a prerequisite of the disappearing act would be no photos of you on the Internet?
Hm, that's a tough one fore today's young people, but it could still work. I'll make a note of this for my novel.
[Update 4/28/2017] Told you so.
Germans arrest a German soldier who passed himself off as a refugee. A 28 year old German lieutenant was arrested on suspicion of planning a terror attack. The soldier registered as a refugee from Syria in December 2015. He managed to lead a double life until having been caught in Vienna with a gun, the Austrians set off a chain reaction that ultimately led to the "Syrian refugee" being unmasked as a German soldier.
The man does not speak Arabic. Apparently, Germany, short of Arab speakers, was using French interpreters for Syrians (the country had been under French colonial influence for some time).

This is an original August 4, 1881 Issue of Forest and Stream magazine...not a copy or reprint. This magazine I presume is the forerunner of Field and Stream and it was also notated as "Rod and Gun". It dates to just 2 months before Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday's infamous Gunfight at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, AZ. This issue also features a very rare ad for Winchester Double Barrel shotguns...this was a relatively short-lived venture for Winchester and extremely rare gun in today's collecting world. The above ad features UMC shotgun shells. Lots of other great ads in this one including Baker shotguns, extremely rare glass ball shooting traps, the new Marlin 1881 Rifle, Remington Keen deluxe rifle, Davis shotguns, Greener shotguns, Whitney Kennedy Rifles, and many more. There are also lots of other interesting ads for Billiards, collapsible canoes, fishing tackle, archery, Leonards's split bamboo fishing rods, taxidermy supplies, lures, and footwear.
The articles cover a variety of subjects. On story is about what it was like for one writer to travel through the West via the Union Pacific Railroad in 1881 which includes stops through California, Carson City, NV, Tahoe, and other regions. Pointers for Duck hunters....fishing, hunting dogs, and lots of results from shooting events, etc. A fascinating read into what life was like for the American sportsmen 125 years ago.
