Now that we are past the mid-semester point, all of you are experienced DEARTS bloggers. Rather than my listing key components of classes with Jordan Hamilton, and posing questions, please think back in a focused way on your experience in class Wednesday. I will say only that I think Jordan is an extraordinary emerging artist. He is also a rare kind of young artist, in that he has the capacity to share intellectual, very thoughtful ideas about his artistry, and the ideas behind his creative work. Beyond that, he was able to articulate a lot of information about the many artists and movements in musical history that influence him. It was very helpful that we were able to take the time to as a class, look at, and listen to some of these influential artists.
Based on the general thoughts I've shared above, please think up a question, in ways similar to others you've seen from me, or from Instructor Sparks in past weeks. Type out your question, and then answer your own question in very specific terms. If when you come to this post, there are already many questions evident from other students, you may choose to borrow one of their questions instead. If you do, you still have to type out the question. To do so, and get full credit, put their question in quotes, and list their name and section.
Please follow previous protocol including word counts, spelling and all blog post criteria. This post opened on Tuesday at 4 pm. It will be open until Saturday at 10 pm.

Societies die from many causes, of which internal corruption — of rulers and the people — is among the most common. Slow and hidden, it sometimes briefly emerges into view.
“Are you an idiot to keep paying your mortgage?“, Kathleen Pender, San Francisco Chronicle, 16 November 2008 — The long-term corrupting effect of bailouts.
The Senate’s tribute to convicted felon Ted Stevens, Matthew Yglesias, 20 November 2008 — The deep corruption of our rulers made manifest.
Should you keep paying your mortgage? If you have significant equity in your home, absolutely.
If you don’t, it’s getting harder to answer that question, especially when our government keeps giving people who owe more than their homes are worth so many reasons not to pay. Last week, the government announced a program that will substantially lower payments for many homeowners who have little or no equity, but only if they are at least 90 days delinquent.
Watching these Ted Stevens tributes unfold is really shocking. He’s not some veteran Senator retiring after a long and distinguished career. He’s a criminal. He was booted from office by the voters of his state. They did this, in part, because he was convicted by a jury of his peers of serious crimes. Crimes directly connected to his conduct in office. His conduct alongside this bipartisan group now saluting him.
It’s sickening to watch. For all the cynicism that unfolds on the Hill, every once in a while members really do put political expedience aside and just do what they think is right. Unfortunately, what they think is right is to lavish praise on their good friend the senator/crook Ted Stevens.
Just maybe Steven’s colleagues recognize they’re all pretty close to convictions if they’re scrutinized closely enough?
mars Says: This is vile, and video of it will no doubt populate many a documentary decades from now as historians try to explain just how far the US went off the rails at the turn of the century.
Next Post Is anthropogenic global warming a scientific debate, or a matter of religious belief?
“Citigroup shares leap on reports of firm’s sale“, BusinessWeek.
“In the end, there can be only one!” — The Highlander.
Fabius Maximus replies: This is more properly seen as a shift of the financial center of gravity to Asia. There are still many banks, and will be many banks after the western banks are consolidated. They will just be names new to Americans.
It never made sense that the US remained a financial center after it shifted from global creditor to global debtor. That meant we borrowed from foreigners, repacked capital, and invested/lent it. There is no need for a US institution in the middle. Asia sells cars to us, and can just as easily loan us money.
With a flat or declining economy, long-term debt no longer makes sense. The likelihood that borrowers will be able to repay loans with interest becomes quite low, because the economic system as a whole is not growing and producing a surplus that can be used toward interest payments. It is much easier for a borrower to repay a 20-year mortgage with interest when he is getting promotions and salary increases than when his employer is downsizing and cutting hours.
This sort of circumstance completes a circle that began in the Renaissance, when bankers began to charge interest. This beginning, with the attending cultural and intellectual changes, is discussed in the book, Medici Money: Banking, Metaphysics, and Art in Fifteenth-Century Florence (Enterprise) (Enterprise) by Tim Parks.
On a deep level, what I think is now happening is that the Renaissance itself is being unwound.
Fabius Maximus replies: I do not understand how anyone can say this is an “overlooked detail.” As I explain in “Debt – the core problem of this financial crisis, which also explains how we got in this mess“, our situation is easily understood in terms of conventional economic theory. Irving Fisher explained it nicely in 1933.
The folks at the Oil Drum produce so much flawed analysis because they apply a Christian view of the physical world: linear, moralistic, simplistic. Economic events tend to be cyclical, as in this case: accumulation of excess debt, collapse in the 1930’s, accumulation of excess debt, collapse in the 2000’s.
Not so. It is the amount of debt, not the nature of it, that is significant. If I have a steady income or am starting a business, long-term debt makes sense. But the economy can support only so much debt, limits that we have exceeded.
This Oil Drum article is an excercise in theology, attributing the economic crisis to finite resources without a shred of evidence (and ignoring history of past cycles) — a tribute to today’s green religion. Much like during the medieval era plagues would be attributed to people’s sins against the Christian God.
Engineers like me would say it’s not even the amount of debt, it’s the stupidity of how the borrowed capital is deployed. If you borrow up to your ears to build a flat panel TV plant that whacks out tons of product people love to own, no problem. If you borrow up to your ears and use the capital to build stupid tract homes in Modesto, you’re screwed, and all the bank restructuring in the world won’t change that.
The basis for my differing from you is as follows: No matter how how well engineered your flat panel TV’s, you won’t be able to sell very many of them in Darfur.
Fabius Maximus replies: I don’t get it. How does the “Darfur” analogy fit into your comment, or the post at TOD, about the current financial crisis?

I've been cleaning and cleaning: washing curtains, treating carpet, bleaching the tub in a frantic attempt to find and remove the source of that pervasive, oniony smell in my house.
All the while, I've been putting kitchen scraps into my kitchen compost bin. Only this morning did I remember putting onions in the compost bin earlier this month. Source of the smell? Huh. Maybe.
Anyway, the compost bin got dumped outside and cleaned this morning. Let's hope that solves the problem, shall we?
Normally, I empty it immediately following an onion deposit. Must have gotten distracted.

Note – Only works in Router mode.
TCP connection is established only locally between Modbus devices and the connected RipEX units. TCP protocol overhead is not transmitted over the Radio channel. Secured TCP/IP transfer is not necessary because in Router mode every packet in the Radio channel is acknowledged on every radio hop. A packet is therefore repeated directly in the part of the network where it is lost, not across the entire radio network as in TCP/IP. This improves latency and increases network throughput.
Set your Modbus TCP Master to use a single IP to communicate with Modbus TCP Slaves (RipEX ethernet IP) and set TCP port to 502. Communication begins on port 502 from where it is redirected to other RipEX ports, corresponding to the individual RTU’s, based on negotiation with the Modbus TCP Master.
Set Modbus TCP/RTU to On. Type the port number on which the connected Modbus TCP Master initiates communication, by default 502, into “My TCP Port” field.
Select how you want to translate Modbus addresses to RipEX IP addresses (using mask or table). Set the UDP interface to Terminal server (TS1-TS5). Set the same TS for remote RipEX’s too.
The maximum number of concurrent TCP/IP connections between a Modbus TCP device and RipEX is set to 10 due to limited computing capacity. (Note: The number of concurrently open TCP/IP connections can be increased using CLI if necessary.) Modbus TCP Master must be set to not open more than 10 TCP/IP connections at any given time.
Set the Terminal Server (see RipEX Master settings) to TCP and set My Port to 502. Use the address of the connected Modbus Slave as the destination IP and fill in the destination port number which the connected Modbus Slave device scans for incoming communication.
Set Protocol to UNI and Mode of Connected device to Slave.

In 2006, Alliance bought a dilapidated site unconditionally in Accrington town centre within two weeks of agreeing the price.
Formerly office accommodation, the site had remained vacant for many years due to poor buildings and varying topography.
Before the acquisition was completed, Alliance generated significant supermarket operator interest and selected Tesco.
Alliance overcame multiple contract and planning hurdles to deliver a 93,000 sq ft Tesco in three years – a short timeframe in the supermarket sector. The site was sold to Tesco for £15.8 million in September 2009.

Former President Barack Obama issued a rare public statement Tuesday following President Donald Trump's announcement that the United States would be exiting the Iran deal.
Throughout Obama's statement, he defended and explained the value of the deal, which he says "has significantly rolled back Iran's nuclear program."
"The reality is clear," Obama said. "The JCPOA is working – that is a view shared by our European allies, independent experts, and the current U.S. Secretary of Defense."
Obama contended that walking away from the deal–known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action or JCPOA–jeopardizes diplomacy with North Korea and risks America's credibility with the world's major powers.
"Debates in our country should be informed by facts, especially debates that have proven to be divisive," Obama said.
He went on to describe how the JCPOA was not just an agreement between the U.S. and Iran but also concerned the United Kingdom, France, Germany, the European Union, Russia, and China.
He explained why he thinks the JCPOA has been a success, saying it has "worked in rolling back Iran’s nuclear program," "does not rely on trust" but on "inspections and verification," and has been complied with.
"Finally, the JCPOA was never intended to solve all our problems with Iran," he said.
"Because of these facts, I believe that the decision to put the JCPOA at risk without any Iranian violation of the deal is a serious mistake," Obama wrote.
Leaving the deal, Obama argued, potentially leaves the U.S. with a "losing choice between a nuclear-armed Iran or another war in the Middle East."
"In a dangerous world, America must be able to rely in part on strong, principled diplomacy to secure our country," he said.
Trump announced Tuesday afternoon that the U.S. would withdraw from the deal and reinstate sanctions on Iran. During the announcement, the president said the "Iran deal is defective at its core."
"The so-called Iran deal was supposed to protect the United States and our allies from the lunacy of an Iranian nuclear bomb, a weapon that will only endanger the survival of the Iranian regime," Trump said. "In fact, the deal allowed Iran to continue enriching uranium, and over time, reach the brink of a nuclear breakout. The deal lifted crippling economic sanctions on Iran in exchange for very weak limits on the regime's nuclear activity, and no limits at all on its other malign behavior, including its sinister activities in Syria, Yemen, and other places all around the world."
"We have also consulted with our friends from across the Middle East," Trump said. "We are unified in our understanding of the threat and in our conviction that Iran must never acquire a nuclear weapon. After these consultations, it is clear to me that we cannot prevent an Iranian nuclear bomb under the decaying and rotten structure of the current agreement."

Aug.21 (GMM) State funding for the 2012 US grand prix venue in Austin, Texas, is not yet guaranteed.
Autoweek reports that while construction of the bespoke Circuit of the Americas is well advanced, the matter of $30 million in state funding is still unresolved.
Indeed, the report said even Texas' land commissioner and also the attorney general are not sure if the funds will be released after November's inaugural race.
Organiser Steve Sexton said: "We have worked with the local organising committee in following the process to secure and host this international event."
Meanwhile, the president of the 2013 American grand prix in New Jersey, Tom Cotter, is leaving that role at the end of August.
He said in a statement he has "full faith in the grand prix of America team and look forward to sitting in the grandstands at a world-class race in 2013."

Thirty years ago, when computers were still new, we didn’t know what to do with them. There was a sense — in that half generation between the widespread availability of computers and the advent of the Internet age — that the world was changing in fundamental ways. No one was sure what was really going on, but this was big. Really big.
Schools bought computers because they thought children should be computer literate. They didn’t really know what that meant. They were struggling to prepare students for a world that no one understood. So they scraped together money from the media budget and grants and the PTA and they bought a few computers that they set up in a lab. The digital age was here.
As students, we played a little Oregon Trail and Lemonade Stand. We practiced our math facts. And then, we learned BASIC programming. Programming seemed… important. This was a skill we would need. Everyone would have a computer when we became adults. Everyone would need to know how to program it. Plus, the computers came with programming software. It was one of the few things we could do without buying additional software, and those costs weren’t anticipated when they bought the computers.
I learned BASIC in fifth grade, and by sixth I had forgotten it. I learned LOGO, but just the turtle parts of LOGO, not the really cool list handling stuff that made it a useful language. I learned to type on a typewriter, which I then used through high school. Computers didn’t help me learn other things. They were a subject all to themselves. Our school didn’t have enough of them to teach students much of anything about them. And they didn’t know what to teach us anyway. So after sixth grade, I didn’t use a computer again until I was a senior in high school, when I took programming (in Pascal, this time) for fun.
Half a decade later, I found myself with a minor in Systems Analysis and half a dozen different programming languages under my belt. I was teaching a middle school computer applications class. My predecessor had spent about 80% of the course teaching programming. Having no actual curriculum to follow, I scrapped all of it, and focused on applications instead. I felt that students needed to know more about word processing and spreadsheets and presentation software than BASIC. A year later, I was emphasizing Internet research, evaluating online resources, documenting sources, and using the Internet to disseminate content. These were things my middle school students needed to know. They’re still things they need to know.
At the dawn of the new millennium, I was teaching a high school programming course. It was an elective. It was a neat class for students interested in programming. But students don’t need to take auto mechanics to drive a car. They don’t have to study structural engineering to work or live in a high-rise building. They don’t need a degree in economics to work at the bank. The course I taught was an introduction meant to spark interest in the field. I never felt like I was teaching a necessary (or even marketable) skill.
The early 2000s confirmed that. Remember The World is Flat? Friedman talked about going to the drive through fast food restaurant, and talking to someone in India or China to order your food, which you then pick up at the window. Auto companies were making tail light assemblies in the US, shipping them to Malaysia for cheap, unskilled labor to put the light bulbs in, and then shipping them back to go into new cars. Software companies were focusing their systems design efforts in the US, but outsourcing the routine coding to India.
Programming is an entry-level skill. There’s nothing wrong with that. But it’s the kind of position that is more “job” than “career”. Sure. There’s a bubble right now, and programming skills are in demand. There are also some good reasons to teach programming, because it helps students learn logic, reasoning, and problem solving. But if schools are reacting to the media hype around coding by teaching programming to a generation of would-be programmers, they’re preparing students for a future of unemployment.

SAIGON, South Vietnam, Sept. 1—Five helicopters flut tered into a jungle clearing northwest of Saigon several months ago to pick up a pla toon of American infantrymen that had been staging ambushes for 10 days.
As a pilot skimmed his craft along the treetops toward ar artillery base, one of the six muddy soldiers inside pulled a hand‐rolled marijuana cigaret4 out of his pocket and lit it. He took a deep drag and passed the cigarette on. Each soldier, plus the craft's two door gun ners, got two puffs.
The soldiers said later that they had found two plastic bags of marijuana in the packs of two North Vietnamese sol diers they had killed two days before. They had divided up one bag, but the other was so soaked with blood no one wanted it.
It was an unusual example of how American troops in Vietnam acquire their mari juana. There are simpler ways.
In the village of Phuocvinh next to the headquarters of the First Cavalry Division (Airmo bile), for example, a kilogram —2.2 pounds—of marijuana Icosts the equivalent of $5. The prices vary, but marijuana is available just outside the gates of every major United States base this reporter has visited in South Vietnam.
The villages are supposedly off limits, but soldiers at the bases can think of numer ous legitimate reasons—ranging from laundry pickups to civic action programs — to get au thorization to visit them.
In addition, thousands of villagers enter United States bases every day to perform a variety of tasks. The villagers are supposedly searched, yet many of them make weekly deliveries of marijuana to sol diers.
Convoys roll through hun dreds of villages daily. Old wo men sit at stands and little girls and boys jump on the running boards of slow‐moving trucks offering beads, peace symbols, Cokes, obscene photo graphs and sometimes them selves. Many of them also offer marijuana.
A South Vietnamese reporter recently walked out of his of fice in downtown Saigon to see how far he had to go to buy marijuana. He walked less than 100 steps. He paid 300 piasters for a dozen cigarettes, which at the black‐market rate is about 80 cents.
Mailjuana has grown through out Southeast Asia in substan tial quantities for years — re garded as just another weed. Great heaps of it are sold open ly and cheaply in the central markets of Vientiane and Pnompenh.
But until the American sol dier arrived in South Vietnam there was very little market for it. Asian women frequently prefer the mildly narcotic effect of chewing betel nut—the nut like seed of the betel palm— and men in Asia are more often attracted to the gooey pleas ures of the opium pipe.
In the last several years, however, the South Vietnamese have demonstrated their will ingness to meet demand with supply, and have made mari juana a cash crop. In addition, great quantities of marijuana are bought and sold at country side black markets along the Cambodian border, primarily in Chaudoc Province in the west ern Mekong Delta.
Farmers in Chaudoc Province, sensing the market potential, have begun devoting portions of their riceland to marijuana. Vietnamese officials say the border districts of Tanchau and Anphu in Chaudoc continue to grow considerable crops. Farm ers in Angiang, the next prov ince over, are making similar profits.
Marijuana grows on numer ous islands in the middle of the Saigon and Bassac Rivers, along the foothills in Long khanh Province — east and slightly north of Saigon—and near Montagnard villages of the Central Highlands.
South Vietnamese soldiers and Vietcong have been known to distribute marijuana to Americans. South Vietnamese national police officials say they have arrested marijuana distributors who were later identified as Vietcong. Officials tend to discount subversive motives on the part of the Vietcong. They say that like any insurgents, the Vietcong are in the marijuana business to earn money.
In the last two or three years, as military officials began to realize that the quantity of marijuana being consumed by United States soldiers was sub stantial, they urged South Viet namese officials to help them curtail the traffic.
One major problem was that South Vietnamese farmers did not know it was illegal to grow marijuana, and numerous com plications developed.
In Angiang Province last year, for example, policemen approached an agricultural ad viser from the Philippines who was employed by the United States Agency for International Development. The policemen asked the adviser to help them locate marijuana crops. They did not tell him they were po licemen.
He introduced them to sev eral farmers with marijuana crops. A few days later, the po lice returned in strength and burned the fields. The adviser, who had been carefully coach ing the farmers to trust the South Vietnamese Government, was aghast. From then on, he says, he has not helped the po lice in their searches.
The national police have sent narcotics officers to most of South Vietnam's 44 prov inces, sent out loudspeaker trucks and distributed leaflets —all in an effort to inform farmers that growing marijuana is illegal.
According to police statistics, more than 2,500 kilos of mari juana were seized last year and more than half a million marijuana plants were de stroyed. The figures this year are not so impressive because, the police say, farmers realize that growing marijuana is il legal.
The United States military command, meanwhile, has be gun a variety of programs. Armed forces radio and tele vision stations nresent antidrug “commercials” daily. Anti drug posters have been placed in offices and barracks. Am nesty has been offered to sol diers who were willing to ad mit to smoking marijuana.
No countrywide surveys on the use of marijuana are re ported by the military to have been made, although surveys in some local areas have shown that 20 to 40 per cent of the soldiers smoke marijuana occa sionally, perhaps once a week. Some 20 or 30 per cent more have tried it, these local sur veys show.
As publicity has increased, the military has in the last few months stepped up its efforts to determine the extent of the problem. The White House now has its own investigators in South Vietnam making a study of the use of marijuana and other drugs.
Most soldiers questioned con tend they use marijuana out of boredom. Enlisted men are prohibited from buying liquor in post exchanges and many say they have such easy, rou tine jobs that they can work just as well “stoned” as not.
One soldier, questioned at base, said he smoked marijuana constantly while on patrol.
Within the Army, young lawyers often sympathize with young marijuana smokers. For someone under 30 to report someone his age for smoking marijuana is rare.

Our child had reflux and when he was a little under 6 months old, the pediatrician said it was ok for him to sleep on his tummy. He had good neck control and could turn over at this point, so she thought it was ok. I'd ask your pediatrician.
Baby Sleep Positioner – Is It Safe To Use & Top 5 Positioners – May 27, 2016. Sleep is a precious commodity. If you have a baby at home, you'll know what exactly we are talking about! Not only do you want your baby to sleep well, you also want her to sleep right. And that is what sleep positioners claim to do. From acid reflux to flat head syndrome – the makers of sleep positioners.
You might want to stop every two to three ounces to burp Baby, to release gas and relieve the symptoms of reflux. Delay playtime after mealtime. Avoid jostling or bouncing Baby right after a feeding — all that movement increases the likelihood of spitting up or vomiting. Sleep at an incline. Prop up the head of Baby's mattress.
Bleary-eyed as you may be, read on to get tips on baby sleep training and other sleep strategies that work for moms like you. And don’t despair, your little one will.

What is the creative process and how does it work? This is a question that intrigues me. I teach an elective course in Lesley University’s creative writing program called Creativity and The Unconscious Mind. In this class, we explore techniques for engaging the unconscious mind in the creative process. We experiment with a wide variety of writing exercises such as wordplay, free writing, clustering, and literary collage.
Here are some of the resources I use for the course, a small sampling of the myriad books and articles about the creativity. I am always eager to find out about other resources, so let me know if you have a suggestion!
Here are some resources to help you on your journey, ones that I find helpful. Both of them will lead you to many other sources of information about writing and publishing.
SCBWI: The Society for Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators. This organization is worth joining as they offer a wealth of information about the art, craft, and business of writing. They host conferences, publish newsletters and a magazine, and sponsor writing retreats. They are open to published and pre-published writers.
The Blueboard: Do not miss out on this resource! The Blueboard is an interactive forum where writers discuss all kinds of topics related to books, writing, and publishing. You can peruse past conversations about these topics or start a new conversation.
Persistence: I firmly believe that getting published involves inspiration, hard work, a little bit of luck (being in the right time at the right place when the stars align) and, most importantly, PERSISTENCE. Never give up. I almost did (several times) after receiving many rejections and encountering some unexpected bumps in the road. However, each time I gave up, I picked myself up and out of my despair and kept on writing and submitting.

text: In February of 2013, I had the honor, challenge, horror, joy, and whimsy of being part of a small team of consultants who accepted the privilege of debriefing a brigade of approximately 5000 US Army soldiers as they returned from active duty in Afghanistan. Each soldier was required to “debrief” as part of an effort to assist in his or her transition home. Their stories are confidential. Yet the stories were there. I’m a storyteller at heart and so as an expressive arts therapist who teaches people how to use art making as a self-care method, I wrote words, prose, and poetry each evening to help me stay grounded in order to be fully present for the soldiers and for myself.

Tottenham Hotspur may have gone an entire summer without making additions to their squad, but Mauricio Pochettino continues to keep an eye on players who can improve his team in the future. They have been tracking Dutch sensation Frenkie de Jong for quite a while now, and according to reports from Mundo Deportivo, Spurs would now go head to head with Barcelona and Manchester City for the signature of de Jong, who is valued at £40m.
A transfer target for the Catalans even in the summer, the 21-year old came through the ranks at Willem II but only made a name for himself after joining Ajax in 2015. He became a regular in the first team at Ajax just last season, where he made 26 appearances for the club all campaign. He is widely regarded as one of the most gifted players in the youth setup in the Netherlands and is well worth his price tag.
He made his international debut just yesterday, coming off the bench in Netherlands’ game against Peru. De Jong completed all his 22 passes, and also picked up an assist along with two key passes and a chance created in that game. But don’t let the stats fool you, he is actually a defensive midfielder, who can also put in a shift at centre-back.
Extremely confident on the ball and even more impressive with his dribbling, the 21-year old loves to have the ball at his feet and can skip out of tight spaces with relative ease. His vision and technique are right up there with the best in Eredivisie. He has close to one key pass and two dribbles completed per game this season and his ability to turn defence into attack with just one pass or one dribble is what makes him effective.
He is not the strongest player around and does not like to go into physical battles, but his positioning and understanding of the game allow him to get the better of opponents, who play on his weaknesses. De Jong also has 1.5 tackles and one interception per 90 minutes this season, as he continues to improve the defensive side of his game.

He has a few things he still has to work on, but at 21, he is one of the most impressive youngsters around in Europe at the moment in his role. He has already made 46 appearances for the Ajax senior side where he has two goals and nine assists, and his international debut is only going to give him more exposure.
So De Jong is ready for more significant challenges and is well worth his price tag of £40m.

Last week we looked at the Monastic movement which began in the fourth century and then at the first Six Ecumenical Councils which with the exception of the sixth, were called to deal with matters of faith and especially the many heresies that troubled the Church and had to be condemned to safeguard the true faith and the teaching of salvation. Many of you found the talk difficult to follow which is not surprising since we heard strange heresies like those of the Arians, Eunomians, Eudoxians, Semi-Arians, Pneumatomachi, Sabellians, Marcellians, Photinians, Macedonians, Apollinarians, Nestorians, Monophysites, Monothelites, Millenarians and others. Today it remains for us to see the Seventh Ecumenical Council which was called to condemn the Iconoclast Controversy. Again this is not going to be an easy talk because we have to see what happened in the years before the Synod and also other Synods after it which some accepted and others rejected. We have talked about Icons before and then covered much of the troublesome history of the Icon and the decree of the Seventh Ecumenical Council, thus part of what you will hear today can be found in the previous talk.
Icons had always had its opponents in the Church especially from those with a puritan outlook who thought of Icons as a form of idolatry, but in general they were accepted as being essential items helpful in narrating the religious stories in pictures. In time they were accepted as representing the person portrayed in his absence, similar to the images of the emperor which under Roman law was a legal substitute used in place of the Emperor being there in person. This of course doesn’t mean that the Icon was used as a substitute for Christ and the saints: it was never worshipped as an idol, but was only a material symbol and the Church clearly taught that it should only be given relative honour and veneration but never to be worshipped in the same way that God alone is worshipped. But the Icon was something much more that just a symbol because as we shall see later, it had a doctrinal significance and was essential in teaching the true dogma on the incarnation and on man’s salvation.
The Iconoclast movement first appeared in 723 under Caliph Yazid II. Some eastern territories like Syria and Egypt where now under Muslim control and the Caliph ordered the removal of all Icons from his territory. The Eastern Roman Empire was now under the Emperor Leo III. Historians believe that he originated from eastern Asia Minor, near the border with the Moslem world, and had been exposed to Moslem influences, which from 700, forbade images and in particular the representation of the human form in pictures. He was probably also influenced by the Monophysite heresy which was very strong in the Eastern provinces. Leo, who believed that Icons where a form of idolatry, wanted to reform the Empire and rid the Church of Icons. He was supported by top clergymen among whom were three Bishops from Asia Minor, Thomas of Claudiopolis, Theodosius of Ephesus and Constantine of Nacolia. Constantine went to Constantinople to try and win over the Patriarch Germanos to the iconoclastic cause, but the Patriarch refused to accept any doctrine that contradicted the councils and the tradition of the Church and wrote a long letter in support of the holy images. This did not stop the unholy movement. The three bishops proceeded to destroy the images in their respective regions and the Emperor made his opposition to the veneration of Icons public by a series of speeches. His attempt to win over public opinion had failed: the people and the clergy were opposed to his plans. Leo then ordered the destruction of a greatly venerated Icon of Christ which was above the Bronze Gate in Constantinople. This immediately caused a riot resulting in the death of an officer. Leo ordered the punishment of the guilty persons, which resulted in arrests, tortures and executions.
The Synod which was composed of 338 bishops, all in favour of the Iconoclast movement, condemned the Icons and those who honoured them. With their closing Anathemas they singled out three defenders of the Icon for special anathemas and excommunication: They are the Patriarch Germanos, George of Cyprus and St. John of Damascus who they called by his family name Mansur. After the mock synod, a new wave of persecutions began. The Emperor singled out the more noted monks and required them to comply with the decrees of the synod. Everyone who opposed the Iconoclasts was now officially branded as a heretic and harsh punishments awaited them. As a result many were tortured, exiled or executed and many monks were forced into marriages. In 766 the Emperor exacted an oath against images from all the inhabitants of the Empire. The monks refused with violent obstinacy and Copronymus appears to have amused himself by treating them with ruthless harshness to the point of contemplating the extirpation of monasticism. Monks were forced to appear in the hippodrome at Constantinople hand in hand with prostitutes while the people spat on them. The monastery relics were thrown into the sea and the monasteries themselves which had became centres of resistance were destroyed, turned into army barracks or stables. Other stories tell of how monks were gathered together, forced to wear white and then being presented with wives were forced to choose between marriage and the loss of their eyesight.
St. Theodore is also well known for his treatise that he wrote on the Holy Icons. He took all the arguments used by the Iconoclasts and answered them with the Orthodox answers formulated by the fathers and especially those formulated by St. John of Damascus, but he also went one step further. The Iconoclasts claimed that any image of Christ must be of the same nature as Christ, so his image portrayed both his human and divine natures which was absurd. St. Theodore defined how the natures are not portrayed at all, but that the Icon shares in the Hypostasis of the person. In Orthodox doctrine God has one essence (nature) and three hypostasis (persons). Christ and the Holy Spirit have the same nature as the Father. Christ on the other hand also became a human so that he also has a human nature. But now in the human form Christ is not a different person, he is still the second person of the Holy Trinity. Christ has two natures but only one hypostasis in other words he is only one person. In helping us to understand how the Icon participates in the hypostasis and not the nature, St.Theodore the Studite gave us an example by using the image of a seal on a ring and its imprint. He said that if we take a ring which has carved upon it the image of the Emperor and make an imprint with the ring in wax or clay, the imprint would be the same n both the wax and the clay, but the two would still be different from each other because they are made of different materials. The wax has the image of the Emperor but it is still wax, and the clay has the image of the Emperor but it is still clay. In this same way, they are also different from the ring, which is the original (prototype). Neither the wax nor the clay image can be the ring; the only thing that all three share together is the image of the Emperor. It is the same with Christ and His Icon: the Icon is the image, or as in the case with the ring, it is the imprint, but it cannot be more than this, that is, it cannot be His human body or His divine nature.
Theophilus died in 842 and with him died the Iconoclast persecution. Power passed into the hands of his wife Theodora and her three year old son Michael. Throughout the persecution Theodora had remained faithful to Orthodoxy and had secretly venerated icons. She wanted to re-establish the Icons in the Churches, but first had to overcome certain obstacles. After a year of preparations, Theodora convoked a Council and when the Patriarch John the Grammarian refused to take part, she had him deposed and replaced by Methodius who was a confessor of Orthodoxy and highly regarded in Constantinople. The council proclaimed the canons of all the Seven Ecumenical Councils and proved the legitimacy of venerating Icons. The Iconoclasts and all heretics were finally condemned. The only thing that Theodora asked for was that the memory of her husband should not be blackened with an anathema which she was granted. With the final victory of the Orthodox there remained only one more thing to do and that was to celebrate this great event. A great feast to celebrate this victory took place on the first Sunday of Lent, March 11, 843. This feast is still celebrated by the Orthodox Church on the first Sunday of Lent each year, which is called the Sunday of Orthodoxy or the Sunday of the Triumph of Orthodoxy. The Church continues to celebrate this feast because it was not only the Icon that was being defended, but also the very dogma of the Incarnation [the church’s beliefs concerning God becoming man]. The Icon is directly connected to this dogma, which is the very foundation of Christianity and which all our hopes of salvation depend on.
The Orthodox Church is often called the Church of the Seven Ecumenical Councils and although today some in the west have rejected it, it was accepted as being Ecumenical by both the Greek and Latin Churches for more than a thousand years. In 869 a Council was held in Constantinople, which both east and west then considered to be the Eighth of the Ecumenical Synods. The council was not called to deal with Icons but to restore peace within the Church. A few years before in 857 the Patriarch Ignatius had been deposed from office and in his place Photius was enthroned as Patriarch. Soon, however, discord arose within the Church, stirred up by the removal of Patriarch Ignatius from office. There followed councils that reinstated Ignatius and others that deposed him and accepted Photius. We don’t have time to look deeper into the conflict between Ignatuis, Photius and the Pope even though it is important because it involved the use of the Filioque in the creed by the Pope in Bulgaria which was being baptized by both Greek and Latin clergy. For the moment we will limit ourselves to the fact that this Council accepted not only the teachings of the Second of Nicaea, but also its rank and number.
Ten years later, another synod was again held in Constantinople which restored Photius and which was accepted by many Easterns as the Eighth Ecumenical Council. This synod again fully acknowledged the position of the Second of Nicaea. So after a hundred years from the meeting of the Seventh Synod, and despite all opposition, it was universally recognized and revered even by those who were rapidly drifting apart as were the East and West in the time of Photius and his successors. But even after the Great Schism of 1054, the west during the Council of Lyons in 1274 accepted all Seven Synods as a basis for union.

Residents ask school system to save part of building.
This drawing illustrates the layout of Woodlawn School after renovation. The area outlined by the heavy black lines is the current footprint of the oldest buildings in the complex. The plan calls for their demolition, however the schools staff is revisiting that matter.
Mount Vernon  The planned renovation of Woodlawn Elementary School has become a topic of discussion between Fairfax County Public Schools staff members and local elected officials. At the heart of the discussion is the school system’s proposed renovations to the school. Those plans call for demolition of the original school structure, which opened in 1938 in the Engleside neighborhood near Route 1. That facet of the plan may change soon.
The demolition plans caught the attention of Lee District Supervisor Jeff McKay and state Del. Scott Surovell. McKay, who attended the school as a child, has since proposed a compromise that would preserve two of the original classrooms and the old front entrance as a separate structure. “This would preserve a part of our community’s history, but still allow the planned renovation to continue on schedule,” McKay said on Monday.
The current facility is an amalgam of structures built during the past 75 years. Classrooms date from 1938, 1947, 1952, 1956, 1968 and 1987. They are stitched together with hallways, all crowded with students and staff. A visitor can see the changes in materials and design by walking from one end to the other, much like an archeologist looking back through the layers of an old city.
IN MARCH, school administrators and facilities managers were pursuing approved plans to renovate the school, which had scored poorly in a 2008 facility assessment survey. Those plans called for the razing of the 1938 and 1947 structures and building structures. As of that time, according to FCPS spokesman John Torre, the plans had been submitted for permit approval, but funding had yet to be secured.
An important matter, which may have complicated the coordination issues that McKay mentioned, is that the Woodlawn facility is in the Mount Vernon district, but many of the students live in Lee district.
Tyler said that her decision to ask for alternative plans arose from a meeting that she had on April 8. She discussed the original designs with FCPS facilities manager Jeff Plantenberg, school board members Dan Storck (Mount Vernon) and Tammy Derenak Kaufax (Lee). Platenberg left that session with a request to revisit the demolition plans.
McKay said that he was unaware of Tyler’s initiative when he scheduled a separate meeting on April 16. Storck and Kaufax could not attend, but McKay, Surovell, Platenberg and Fairfax County History Commission chair Gretchen Bulova discussed possible options. “I’m pleased that we could reach a happy solution among us,” McKay said of the group’s recommended compromise.
Woodlawn School enjoys a rich history. The Quakers who bought Woodlawn Plantation in 1846 started a school the following year in the miller’s cottage at George Washington’s gristmill. Later, after the Friends built their meeting house in 1851, the students met there. Courtland Lukens, owner of Engleside Farm, and E. E. Mason, son of John Mason who purchased Woodlawn from the Quakers in 1853, donated land for a two-room school in 1869.
The school burned in 1917, but the county quickly rebuilt it on the same site. The current school opened in 1938 on land purchased from Engleside Farm. Over the years, Woodlawn teachers and principals have come from many of the Quaker families who were important to the vibrancy of the community — Gillingham, Lukens, Wilkinson, Cox, Buckman and others.

There are many things you should consider before getting yourself a pair of water socks. Not only the material and build quality but also the time and place you use these socks are important things to consider.
Water socks are different from water shoes in many ways. Water socks are usually designed using a latex material and have a much closer mold to your foot. Socks also lack the thick sole and rigid upper that a water shoe will have. The lack of sole means that water socks are best used in instances of low-impact and intensity. Typically these will be used in public pools for things such as water aerobics, saunas and showers.
Due to the full protection the provide your foot they are also commonly worn at the beach. While they do not provide protection from sharp objects such as rocks, they will protect you from hot sand and any bacterial environments.
As with any article of clothing you choose to wear in the water, paying attention to the types of materials used to make your water socks is important. When placed in the water a lot of materials retain the water and end up feeling quite cold and heavy. In cooler conditions, this could be life threatening. Typically natural fabrics are the ones to retain all moisture. Going for a synthetic material will give you a lightweight material that has a more rapid dry.
When considering leather, real leather is more durable but damages easily in the water and is far heavier. Synthetic leather on the other hand is more durable in wet conditions and has a much lighter weight. We prefer these synthetic materials. Companies spend time and energy designing the best type of materials for their products. This system allows them to do the hard work to find out which material, and build quality, are best in certain situations.
Water socks are generally known for having a weak sole. Designed for situations that are not of high impact water socks focus more on a lightweight design rather than a bulkier sole. With that being said, many outdoors adventurers are turning to a more barefoot style of shoe. Going for a water sock with a slightly thicker sole could be all you need in order to transition your socks from lounging at the pool to exploring on a hike. Thicker soles have many advantages. Offering superior traction and durability makes this option quite attractive. Many people looking for the increased durability and protection may want to consider water shoes as an alternative.
For those looking to primarily sit poolside or spend their day in the water, having a thinner sole will likely be a much better option. The flexibility and lightweight design of this model can be infinitely more beneficial. You have the most flexibility when it comes to activities that don’t require tons of walking around.
It is important to consider your usage before deciding on the thickness and type of sole that will be best for you in your shoe. Usually the more padding a sock has the less stable they become. This is due to their squishy nature. If you are needing the most stability you can get you may have to sacrifice a little bit of comfort. This isn’t to say that the sock will be uncomfortable, just less than a sock that’s made for simply short walks to the beach.
Water socks need to have the most ventilation they can get. This is what makes them so great at drying quickly. This also allows your foot to breathe while you’re on big hikes. If your water sock didn’t have good ventilation you would find your foot would stay wet from sweat or water longer than you wanted.
This can be done through the material used in the water socks construction. A mixture of mesh and breathable fabric will be the best combination you can get. The sole should also have drain holes to prevent water from pooling and accumulating at the bottom of your shoe. It doesn’t matter how well the top part of your water sock is at ventilation if the sole of the shoe doesn’t have the same feature.
This is one of the main ways water socks get rid of most of the water that enters the shoe. The sole of the shoe will be where most of the water exits the shoe. Some water socks have specially designed one way valves on the bottom of the shoe that lets water out while not letting sand and other debris in. We find these systems to be the best. If your shoe lets sand or rocks into your shoe your feet will be sore and you won’t want to wear the shoes any more.
What good is a water sock if it isn’t stable. You’re going to be balancing on sharp rocks or hiking through the forest – you will need gear that has a stable base. This is largely to do with the base of the shoe. Some companies will trade cushioning for stability. This isn’t ideal as you will want a combination of both. If the sock isn’t comfortable it can hurt your foot and even cause blisters and significant discomfort.
It’s important for the water socks to have cushioning that also supports the arches of your foot. If you are going on a longer hike you will want one that has arch support throughout the sole. You won’t want to add an insole as it can act as a sponge, ultimately defeating the entire purpose of the water sock.
Water socks need to fit your foot almost perfectly. If they are too small you will find that your foot feels cramped and pinched. You will also experience discomfort if they are too big. Your foot will move around in the sock and cause friction and blisters. The perfect size water sock will hold your foot in place without constricting or rubbing your skin.
When looking at the size of the water sock it is important to consider the padding on the sole. This can cause the sock to fit differently and feel more comfortable. The cushioning can also be tailored to the activity you’re doing. For example, if you’re more of a runner you will want the padding to be near the bridge of your foot.
All of this doesn’t matter if the water socks don’t last. They need to be made of material that is strong and able to stand up to the conditions you put them in. If you are a hiker for example, you will want to look for socks that have a more robust material than if you were needing them to simply walk along the beach.
The build quality is also vastly important. Stitching can affect everything from the longevity to the feel of the socks. The way in which the padding is added will also make the socks more or less durable.
Q: What Is The Difference Between Water Socks And Water Shoes?
A: Water socks are essential socks that have been specially designed to be worn in water. This means they won’t rub and cause blisters as normal socks that get wet would. These socks don’t offer as much protection as water shoes but are great when worn in combination with scuba fins and water shoes.
Water shoes, on the other hand, have been designed protect the feet. They will have a comfortable insole that doesn’t retain water while being able to be worn for long hikes. Their tread will usually have drain holes that let water easily flow through without flooding in your shoes.
Q: How Should Water Socks Fit?
A: Your water socks should fit quite snug. You should be able to get them on without too much of a struggle while having them tight enough to stay up. You will want to ensure the heel of the sock fits in place on your foot. If your sock is too loose and does not fit your foot tightly then it will absorb a lot of water and end up weighing you down. On the other hand, if they are too tight they will stretch out and not offer as much protection. This will greatly decrease the lifespan of your socks.
Q: How To Clean Water Socks?
A: Many people mistakenly think that if they are using their water shoes in fresh water they do not need to clean them afterward. The reality is that freshwater sources such as lakes still have a ton of microbes in them. These can wreak havoc on your gear by causing mildew to grow. Luckily cleaning your socks is quick and easy. You can simply rinse with fresh water from a hose and air dry out of direct sunlight.
In some cases, these can start to stink and a simple rinse will not do. When a deeper clean is needed you can rinse with some mild soapy water such as wetsuit shampoo. You can also use some vinegar to help remove the smell. Dump all the water out and stuff some hand towels into the boot to soak up any added moisture. You may want to speed the drying process up by using a blow dryer for inside the shoe.
Q: What Are Water Socks?
A: Water socks are lightweight foot protection that is made out of the same neoprene material as wetsuits. There are many different kinds, some featuring minor tread while others have thick rubber soles that provide lots of traction. These are used by many water enthusiasts including surfers, scuba divers and beach loungers. The flexibility offered in these shoes is incredibly ideal but they do not provide enough support for long term activities such as hiking.
Q: How Do I Choose The Best Waterproof Socks?
A: There are many factors that make great water socks. This is a combination of materials, design and feel. Water socks should have a material that drys quickly while feeling light. They should also have flatlock seams which nearly eliminates bunching and friction which cause blisters and discomfort. The thickness can also help keep your feet warm if you’re swimming in colder climates.
Q: Where Should I Buy Water Absorbent Socks?
A: More and more places are selling absorbent socks. Buying your aqua socks online is a great way to ensure that you get the best price point. Most outdoor department stores now carry this preferred form of footwear. You will also be able to find them at your local dive shop as they are commonly used with snorkeling fins.
Q: What Water Sock Work Best In Submerged Water?
A: All water socks will work great when submerged in water. After all, that’s what they’re designed to do. If you think that water socks will keep your feet dry you will be surprised to learn that this is not what they do. They give you the grip and protection your feet need to walk on rocky shore especially in the ocean.
You can use this type of shoe in many different situations ranging from hiking to boating to running and even whitewater rafting. They will not only protect your feet but dry exceptionally quickly. They won’t retain water like normal running shoes will. Instead, they have drain holes and material that has built in quick dry systems.
Q: Do I Wear Water Socks With Water Shoes?
A: This is a tricky question. Water socks aren’t typical socks you wear under shoes. These are essentially water shoes just thinner and slightly different. You won’t have to wear water shoes over these socks as they are enough protection for your feet.
If you find some thin water sock you can wear them with water shoes. We recommend only doing this for hikes or longer walks. Water shoes are meant to be comfortable enough to wear without socks. The extra material will also slow down the drying time.
Q: What Is Neoprene Socks?
A: Neoprene socks are traditional style socks with a flair. They are made from neoprene, a material that can not only withstand the abuse of hiking, river passings and even skiing. These socks are exceptionally fast at drying while being warm and ultralightweight. Water seems to simply roll off them without being absorbed at all.
You can wear them between water shoes and your skin to protect against friction and rubbing on longer hikes. Having this extra waterproof barrier will make your feet happy for longer. You won’t have to worry about blisters or waterlogged feet any longer with neoprene socks.
Having a trusted pair of water socks is something that any water enthusiast needs. Water socks reviews agree that having high quality foot protection is important in ensuring you get the most out of your day at the beach. Protecting you from the hot sand into the depths of the ocean, water socks are an affordable way to keep you protected.

When you want the best for your horses provide them with the extraordinary benefits of Pharm-Aloe to support their GI health, immune system, aid the balancing of stomach pH, support normal detoxification and normal inflammatory response processes and reinforce cellular communication. When used topically it supports the healing of skin tissue, helps itching and soothes insect bites.
Pharm-Aloe is my go-to supplement.
I see a big improvement in overall health and attitude in the horses I ride.
I love the peace of mind Pharm-Aloe gives me!
From my treasured broodmares and stallions to my trail and endurance horses, I know their digestive and immune systems are optimally supported.
This is Eli, a 17 year old Apendix gelding who has suffered with gastrointestinal and stomach issues for many years.
He had been kept in a large dry lot paddock with 3 other geldings.
On November 11, 2017 he was removed from the 3 other horses and he started receiving 3 cups of Pharm-Aloe Horse Pellets 1x per day.
Eli was also provided with free-choice grass hay, plentiful well water, a Redmond Rock Salt, and kept in a large dry paddock alone but with horses he could touch over the fence.
Please note the improvement on January 14th.
Eli is continuing to gain weight.
He doesn’t pace the fence line or aggressively paw the ground any longer.
His farrier for the past 8 years was very impressed with being able to pick up and trim Eli's hind feet.
In the past it was an “explosive” event so the farrier often put shoes on the front feet only. After 6 months on the Pharm-Aloe Horse Pellets there was absolutely no reaction to picking up the hind feet and trimming them. Eli stood there calming licking and chewing.
We were looking for something to bring this 16+ hand Off the Track Thoroughbred gelding back, Alkali Skinner.
When we got him he looked awful and after he was wormed he lost 200 lbs.
Using Pharm-Aloe 4X CONCENTRATE helped get his topline back.
He stopped the constant pacing and his coat is coming back.
He is a completely different horse now.
He thinks more and is less reactive.
Very impressive how fast we saw results with the Pharm-Aloe!
We tried lots of different supplements but never saw the improvement like we did with the Pharm-Aloe.
We’ve seen a huge change in him!
He seems to really like the taste of aloe vera.
For the last 3 years Pharm-Aloe has become a staple supplement in the feeding regimen that I have all of my horses on.
I began by using it on our racehorses that were in training at the track.
The high stress that most racehorses experience can often make them prone to stomach and gastrointestinal issues.
Shortly after starting Pharm-Aloe, I realized that gastrointestinal issues were few and far between.
My horses were maintaining a great appetite and were having less health complications in general.
I believe it has helped maintain a healthy immune system and gastrointestinal function in each horse I have, both in training and out of training.
Dogs and Cats Stress: .6 ml or 12 drops per 10 lbs.
Dogs and Cats Maintenance: .15 ml or 3 drops per 10 lbs.

I used to like soy milk but I don't drink it that often anymore. I don't exactly believe all the "warnings" against it either though; it's just that I don't like the taste of it. I've smelled soy beans as they were being soaked. They smell like absolute GARBAGE, no joke. That's not the reason I don't like it that much anymore, though.
Is Gluten Dangerous To All People?
Well, I did an experiment. I went without gluten/wheat for about like 6 hours (I ate rice, corn, fruit, and other things) and then I ate like 4 slices of bread (I buy the highest quality bread available though) and it actually gave me energy and it didn't hurt my stomach or cause problems or anything. I guess that is a sign I am not gluten intolerant. Granted, I do buy yeast-free bread; sometimes I do stomach aches from eating YEAST pretzels, etc. so could it be possible I am allergic to yeast? IDK I will keep you all posted. I guess intolerances are whenever you get stomach aches or w/e from foods right? Or is it more complex than that?
I remember I tried a gluten-free diet once and I got a bad headache until I ate bread - is this a sign that I am NOT celiac? I am pretty much a paranoid hypochondriac, so I always get worried about these types of things even though there is pretty much virtually nothing wrong with me.
Why does it seem people of European descent (white) seem to have celiac the most? I thought bread was eaten a lot in Europe, or doesn't that really matter?
Does not having dreams mean you aren't sleeping well? Today I went to bed at like 12, woke up at 6, and I don't remember actually falling asleep at all but I feel relatively well rested. Does dreaming mean you go into REM sleep or doesn't it matter?
Well, I don't think I have it then. Both my parents can eat bread and pretzels and stuff like that just fine so I am guessing that I don't have that. A long time ago I was basically starving myself (I had an eating disorder back then) and would only eat fruits and vegetables. I did this for about a month. Now I am on a pretty balanced diet with all food groups but back when I first started eating pretzels and stuff I started getting a stomach ache but that doesn't happen anymore. Organic whole wheat yeast-free bread doesn't seem to bother me at all, though. The reason I brought up arsenic is because it was in the water I was drinking for a while as well. So, pretty much, I'm surprised I didn't die then... was eating just fruits and vegetables and drinking arsenic water. I am feeling better every day, and I doubt I am actually allergic to any food item. I'll have days where I don't feel good at all and other days where I feel really good, like 80% of my old self basically. Is it possible I am just recovering from starvation/arsenic poisoning and not a food allergy? For people without celiac disease how is gluten treated by the body? Is it like cellulose where it is indigestable and disposed of as waste or does it actually get digested? It 100% definitely isn't dangerous to eat wheat for people that aren't allergic/intolerant to it, right? FYI as I write this I have no digestive problems (as far as I can feel anyways), no depression, or any other ailments, so I'm hoping this is the case.
If it was dangerous to one person wouldn't it be dangerous to all people? Like, take arsenic or mercury or botulism for example: these are toxic to all people. Why do some people have problems with gluten and others do not? Is there an explanation for this? Also, do the symptoms of celiac disease have to be gastrointestinal - related? Is gluten toxic?

This is several additional photos and random thoughts from my resent trip to San Antonio. I flew in wearing white pull-on jeans and the top shown to the right. Not exactly "Flying Pretty" but I have learned there is a lot to be said for practically when going from gate to gate in the Atlanta Airport - You never know how far the distance. I am certainly up for the challenge but commons sense rules when Delta/ATL connections are involved.
That is also true when walking around in the summer heat outside. Once I checked into my hotel I changed into shorts and headed out. I remembered River Walk from a previous visit, over 20 years ago, however enjoyed experiencing the architecture again. This was government money well spent putting America back to work during the "Great Depression". To bad the same was not done during the "Great Recession" and we would have something to see for the billions spent. So I guess still having banks is a good thing? We still benefit from the projects of the 1930's in our national parks and so many other worthwhile destinations.
TSA has never given me any problems. About 50% of the time I get Pre-Check and breeze through not even taking my shoes off. One funny experience was in Chicago's O'harea a few months back. I presented my passport along with my ticket and the TSA agent without looking too closely said "Honey, you and your husband have your identifications mixed up". I just laughed, said "it is me". Not the best gamma but explains the situation in the least amount of words. After a big smile came across her face and I told her she had made my day. She laughed too and said she was sorry and was experiencing a long day. She told me I looked great. I did enjoy the complement in spite of my long day also.
Do not let TSA deter you for escaping. They seem to be well trained and do not want to hold up the lines any more than we want to wait. Attitudes have changed and I am sure they have seen it all, by now.
I had three days of business meeting in San Antonio and overall enjoyed the whole trip. I have made many similar trips and getting out as Rhonda is always a fun challenge and add excitement. San Antonio was a good destination. Plan your escape.
The difference is that much of the money spend during the depression was spent on work projects. The Obama stimulus was a huge amount of money that went to cronies like Solyndra and other contributors and he got very little bang for the tax payer dollars. It was just rubbing salt in the wound when Obama and Biden joked a few years later that there were not shovel ready jobs and that it was all a big scam. First president since they started keeping stats that had not one single quarter that hit 3% growth. Criminal how the debt is blowing past $20 Trillion.
The beach houses on Jones beach and at some places down the Jersey Shore are still standing from the work done during the depression.

One more, hope there will be much more coming in the near future.
finally some rappers that actually have taste in cars not just lambos and rari’s?
The HBK Gang, also known as The Heartbreak Gang, is an American hip hop record production collective based in Hercules, California, and the San Francisco Bay Area. Founded by Iamsu!, Chief and P-Lo in 2008, members also include Sage the Gemini, Skipper, CJ, Rossi, Dave Steezy, Jay Ant, Kool John and Kehlani. After contributing to various mixtapes and Iamsu’s Kilt II in 2013, in August of that year the group released their debut mixtape Gang Forever. HBK Gang Records is the name of an associated independent record label.
On “Let’s Ball,” Jay Ant talks about wanting some extra freedom before he can give his all to his relationship. In the video, directed by David Camerena, the HBK rapper rides around in a glossy black Ferrari while a wandering bride runs the streets searching for him. Images of his love interest appear as she dances under blue lights. These bright visuals portray Ant’s desire to fully indulge in his pursuit of success before being too sure about commitment.
Jay Ant’s Blue Diamond Dreams project is set for release this summer.
This beat knocks hard! Gotta love the art in the video too!?

Discussion in 'iPad' started by Mickeylittle, Aug 8, 2011.
I have the ipad 2 and am running 4.3.3. Will I be able to show all apps such as Keynote on my TV without using the HDMI cable I'm currently using or will I have to wait for IOS 5 or will that even do it for me?
You'll have to wait for iOS 5 to use the AirPlay mirroring ability.
Ok but will it do what I'm asking it to do? Cause if not then I don't have a need for Apple TV.

In this edition of Practice Solutions eNews we bring you the third of a four-part series on the regulations and requirements for the Quality Payment Program (QPP) in 2018 so that you can AVOID a 5% Medicare penalty in 2020.
Providers who adopted Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and attested to incorporating the new technology into their practices were able to recapture some of their purchase and implementation expenses from CMS through the Meaningful Use program. In 2015, those incentives turned to penalties for practices that did not employ the new medical record systems. Although the Meaningful Use program will sunset after the final penalty year in December 2018, CMS continues to encourage, incentivize and/or penalize providers based on their system utilization.
The performance category is worth 25 points of the total MIPS Composite Score. Data reporting is for 90 days.
Eligible Clinicians or Groups must have 2014 or 2015 Certified EHR Technology (CEHRT) to earn ACI credit in 2018. Providers can check their CEHRT version here.
Because the minimum MIPS score in 2018 is 15, reporting the ACI base measures along with one Quality Measure (that meets data completeness) is an easy way to avoid a 5% penalty. But it is definitely not the only way! Providers don't have to have an EHR to avoid a penalty in 2018.
In fact, in 2018 if you are a small practice, you can file for an ACI exemption based solely on your practice size. The ACI points will be allocated to the Quality performance category.
Contact LAMMICO Practice Management Specialist, Natalie Cohen, MBA, MHA, at 504.841.2727 or via email at ncohen@lammico.com for more information on Advancing Care Information, applying for an exemptions or for a personalized consultation to develop and implement your practice plan for QPP.
