Remembering Ryan

By Peter McKeever
Aug. 22, 2012

? About 10 years ago, I was doing some advocacy work for an organization called Americans for Our Heritage and Recreation, or AHR. This was a national coalition of wildlife and recreation groups supporting full funding of the Land and Water Conservation Act. AHR included groups with interests as diverse as wildlife, hunting and fishing, wetland protection, sports like soccer and softball, and local park and recreation departments.

Their common interest was persuading Congress to fulfill its promise to fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). Created in 1965, LWCF was to be funded with revenues from the depletion of offshore oil and gas and was to support the conservation of another valuable resource, land and water. Every year, $900 million in royalties paid by energy companies drilling on the outer continental shelf was to be placed in the fund.

The money was to be used to provide matching grants for state and local parks and recreation projects, to create and protect national wildlife refuges and national parks, and to protect areas around rivers and lakes from development.

But every year Congress broke its promise: LWCF has never been fully funded. My job was to organize support in the Midwest for full funding and to convey that support to members of Congress.

I called U.S. Representative Paul Ryan?s office, explained my objective, and asked a time to meet with him. An appointment was scheduled in his district office, in Janesville, and on the appointed date I drove there, accompanied by a DNR employee who could help explain how important this fund was for Wisconsin communities.

We had a cordial conversation with the congressman, and in the course of that conversation the topic of wetlands naturally came up. What was surprising was how quickly Ryan asked when would wetland fill permitting in Wisconsin allow mitigation banking, the practice of spending public money to create or maintain a new wetland after an existing wetland is filled in. He made it very clear that he thought this should be a high priority, and he mentioned his family company?s experience moving earth.

Creating a new wetland requires the moving a lot of earth, and it so happens that Paul Ryan?s family owns one of the nation?s largest earth moving companies, Ryan Incorporated Central. On its website the company touts its experience and expertise in constructing wetlands.

Even assuming that a ?constructed wetland? comes close to replicating the ecological functions of a natural wetland is to raise the question, What have you been smoking? Ryan showed little interest in the legislation, and made no commitments to support it in spite of the benefits it would have for his constituents.

But putting that reality aside, the most disturbing thing about the meeting was that he so blatantly made it clear that his primary interest was changing the wetland fill permitting process so that his family?s business might be able to belly up to the trough and get profitable contracts.

Perhaps it would not have been surprising if he had known us as campaign supporters and we had been there pushing for legislation to create more earth moving opportunities. The fact that he made this leap to personal benefit so quickly with two strangers left me with a very bad taste in my mouth, and no confidence that Ryan was in office to act in the interests of the public.

Therapy Methods in Sex Addiction Rehab Centers | Articles Reference

Sexual addiction is a form of hyper-sexuality that exhibits itself in constant sexual urges and various sexual behaviors that have negative impacts on those around the addict. Some medical experts define sex addiction as a form of clinical addiction similar to an alcoholic or narcotic abuser. Sexual addiction has been described as a progressive intimacy disorder that is pursued by compulsive sexual thoughts and eventually sexual acts.

Sexual addiction has been defined as a persistent and escalating pattern of behavior that is generally characterized to be sexual in nature.

Therapy Method of Education

As in many conditions and disorders, change happens with education. In sex addiction rehab centers, the therapy starts with education for the individual and also a spouse. The other component of education is there comes a time when the sex addict must admit he or she is a sex addict. That is the point at which change can start occurring. Total recovery is unlikely with only an education course, but all recovery has to start with the first step.

Therapy Method of Counseling for Individuals and Couples

Another therapy method sex addiction rehab centers utilize is counseling. Counseling will, no doubt, begin with the sex addict, but to be truly successful, when a spouse is involved, the counseling must extend to the spouse.

The counseling will be with a mental health professional who specializes in sex addiction. The reason for this is every addiction is different. Therefore, therapy must be specific to be effective. In counseling, reasons for the addiction must be discussed, which can be done in a safe environment that is aiming for change, rather than condemnation.

If the counseling comes down to sessions with a spouse or a partner, both must want to make the relationship work if the therapeutic counseling will be effective.

Therapy Method of Medication

Medication is not the first remedy in this situation, but it may be added in some situations. The medication is a curative for compulsive behavior. Again, it comes to sex addiction being a behavior that has to be adjusted. The other type of medication that may be recommended is an anti-depressive or anti-anxiety medication. Sex addiction rehab centers recognize that anxiety and depression are two emotions that occur when an effort is made to change an addictive compulsive behavior.

When I was a small child, I want own a huge lot and cultivate different kinds of plants. This is the main reason why I took an agricultural course in college. My mother does not want this course for me because she wants me to be a dentist. However, my mother knows that what I want, I will actually get it. Money is not a problem in our family. My father owns a big business corporation and he is undeniably a good provider. I don?t want to be involved in the business field. I am not interested in meeting different types of people and making deals. What I love and enjoy the most is actually cultivating different kinds of plant. I used to plant using the techniques of an indoor and outdoor system of growing. But recently, I heard about the method of hydroponics and The Hydroponics Group. This is another technique which I really need to discover and master. I visited their site found at www.hydroponicsgroup.com. I learned different tools needed in this kind of growing technique. I bought different tools and equipments needed for me to master this technique. How I wish I have lots of time with my plants. I really love and enjoy a green environment. It is like a paradise to me which is full of mysteries. I love the sunlight that brings light to my plants. I enjoyed the different colors of butterflies visiting my lovely red roses. I really enjoyed life surrounded by many types of wonderful plants.

Google+ expands custom URLs to 'thousands more' pages and profiles

If you're lacking the mental perspicacity to memorize that bizarre string that constitutes your Google+ profile (or business page) we've got some good news -- Google's continuing its roll-out of custom URLs to its most popular social network pages. You'll have to make sure that you stake a claim to your pre-approved URL when the box appears on your page -- fortunately it's pretty hard to miss, sticking out along the top of your well-known profile / page. Lesser known brands and 'personalities' will have to wait a little longer, but Product Manager Saurabh Sharma says that the custom URLs will continue to trickle down the system "in the future."

Update: Our freshly customized +Engadget page is now up and running.

Weight loss diets that work very quickly

Home | Health & fitness | Weight loss

Lemonade Diet Plan
It's a quite popular ???detox' diet regime. The diet should be followed for a maximum of ten days. You can easily obtain great results using this eating plan when you can stay with it. Ten lbs should really be very easily feasible.

Three-day Diet Plan
The Three-day diet program is really a low-calorie diet that can offer quick weight loss in a mere 3 days. This is the reason precisely why it truly is at the top of the diets that work fast category. The list of meals need to be followed rigorously and the individual should return to normal eating on the fourth day. Don't move past the three days, seeing that the diet has been formulated to last a very short time frame. Do not say we didn't warn you! Carrying it out for longer may have severe consequences on your overall health and it's certainly not worth the risk.

Grapefruit Diet Plan
The grapefruit diet is a really low calorie diet program. It's identical to the Lemonade Diet for the reason that you adhere to fluids only. It's highly effective even so you need to try and consume vitamin supplements as well, in case you are missing any kind of essential nutrients while you're on the diet program. A lot of physicians have documented that this diet plan might conflict with selected prescription drugs, so be sure you speak with your primary care provider first.

Diet-to-go Diet The diet-to-go program gives you low carbs and low fat meals for quick weight loss. It can be a little costly however the advantage is that you receive variation in your daily meals.

Sonoma Diet Plan
The Sonoma diet is primarily based on a Mediterranean diet and was not long ago made trendy by Connie Guttersen. The most important point to this specific diet plan is altering portion sizes as well as implementing so-called power foods like walnuts, spinach in addition to tomato vegetables. It's made up of 3 levels (the author refers to them ???waves'), the initial simply being the phase that leads to most weight loss. This kind of diet is definitely also suitable for the long-term..

These diet plans are all reasonable alternatives when it comes to diets that work fast. You should continue to be determined whilst keeping your self-control; or else not one of these meal plans will work. The good news is most diet plans merely last a week max so you won't need to suffer for too long! Don't go beyond the suggested days, or you'll start to see side effects.
