By Kay Kendall Bake Love, Write is a brand new cookbook full of delicious desserts. It is the brain child of Lois Winston, a USA Todaybestselling, award-winning author who currently writes the critically acclaimed Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mystery series. Authors from the US, UK, and Canada contributed their favorite recipes. Of the participating 105, three are Stiletto Gang bloggers. We are Lynn Cahoon, Debra Goldstein, and me—Kay Kendall. Here is information about this unique cookbook that may tempt you to buy it soon, available online. Lois writes, “What do most authors have in common, no matter what genre they write? They love desserts. Sweets sustain them through pending deadlines and take the sting out of crushing rejection letters and nasty reviews. They also often celebrate their successes—selling a book, winning a writing award, making a bestseller list, or receiving a fabulous review—with decadent indulgences. And when authors chat with each other, they often talk about their writing and their lives. Recipes. Writing. Relationships. In this cookbook 105 authors not only share their favorite recipes for fabulous cakes, pies, cookies, candy, and more, they also share the best advice they’ve ever received on love and writing.” I contributed the beloved family recipe of my Aunt Martha from Texas. Her recipe for Oatmeal Cake is given below. But, to read what I advise on Love and Writing, you’ll have to buy the cookbook! Aunt Martha’s Oatmeal Cake Deliciously moist cake that keeps and travels well, handed down through the Texas side of my family for decades. If you can’t eat nuts, then omit them and double up on the coconut for the topping.Note: This cake is easy to mix by hand. Does not require an electric mixer. Ingredients for the cake: 1 1/2 cups hot water 1 cup oatmeal (uncooked) 1 cup brown sugar 1 cup white sugar 1 cup cooking oil 1 2/3 cup sifted flour 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon soda Dash of salt Ingredients for the topping: 6 tablespoons margarine or butter ¾ cup brown sugar 2 tablespoons canned condensed milk (Pet, Carnation, etc. NOT sweetened condensed milk) 1 cup chopped nuts (pecan or walnut—can be toasted ahead of time too before baking as a topping) 1 can angel flake coconut 1. Turn oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9X13 inch pan. 2. Place oatmeal in a bowl and pour hot water over oats. Let stand while you do next steps. 3. Blend brown sugar, white sugar, and cooking oil in a large bowl. 4. Add eggs, sifted flour, cinnamon, soda, dash of salt to the sugar mixture. Blend with a large spoon. 5. Now add the water-oats mixture and stir until all ingredients are well blended. 6. Pour into greased and floured pan. 7. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. Remove from oven. 8. Make the topping. In a saucepan combine margarine, brown sugar and canned condensed milk. Boil for one minute. Remove from heat and add chopped nuts and coconut. Blend. 9. Before cake cools, spread the topping (from step 8) thinly over top. 10. Turn oven up to 500 degrees. Return cake-with-topping to oven and bake for 4-5 minutes. Watch that nothing burns since the heat is now so high. 11. Remove from oven and cool. This cake is delicious immediately, but even more moist and yummy on the next day. If kept tightly covered with foil or clear wrap, this cake stays moist and lovely for many days. It never lasts a week at my house, but I bet it would be good even then. Bake, Love Write will sell in the major e-book formats at 99 cents and will be available on Amazon also in paperback. Watch this space for more news. Kay Kendall set her debut novel, Desolation Row—An Austin Starr Mystery, in 1968 in an anti-war group. The sequel is Rainy Day Women, set for 2015, and this time her amateur sleuth Austin Starr must convince police her best friend didn’t murder women’s liberation activists in Seattle and Vancouver. A fan of historical mysteries, Kay wants to do for the 1960s what novelist Jacqueline Winspear accomplishes for England in the perilous 1930s–write atmospheric mysteries that capture the spirit of the age. Kay is also an award-winning international public relations executive who lives in Texas with her husband, three house rabbits, and spaniel Wills. Terribly allergic to the bunnies, she loves them anyway! Her book titles show she’s a Bob Dylan buff too.

North of the border we’ve gotten the shaft: Microsoft hasn’t released the Zune HD, nor the Zune pass service to Canada. The implications of the licensing issues, by the way, extend to the Xbox 360 where we Canucks have not been able to access the content library our brothers in America have been entitled to. And now our motherland – home of our Queen – is getting Zune pass too. But, here in Canada, nada. Heck, I even won a contest on CodeProject, the prize for which was a Zune HD, and they had to send me prize money instead because they couldn’t ship the device to Canada! I want to make this clear Not everyone in Canada is an Apple fanboi. Seriously. We have three media players in my house. Two iThings and a Creative Labs MuVo. I actually prefer the MuVo. Sorry, five media players, because we have a laptop and a desktop PC. Oops, make that six, because we have an Xbox 360. I want to have media that can play on all these devices. Seemlessly. I don’t want to have to burn CDs, rip them and then re-title all the tracks I have. I buy my music. All of it. I pay for my movies. We even rent them on the Xbox 360. I have a Gold Xbox Live membership. I want my content on demand, I want a library that can grow and change as my preference does. I want to be able to listen to the music I want to listen to on the devices I want to listen to them on. I want to listen to it on a Zune HD. If the Zune subscription service was available in Canada I would be the first in line to sign up (Microsoft readers: you can contact me directly for my credit card number). I would even organize an iPod burning party and offer a free service to uninstall the pathetic version of iTunes that Apple has crapped onto the plates of PC users for all my friends and family. Everyone is doing it Netflix has announced that it is bringing its service to Canada. I, for one, hope this is a resounding success story for them and a solid earning opportunity. Why? Because I want Canada to lose the stigma of being a bunch of media pirates. If there are successes with Netflix, hopefully this will open the door for Microsoft. While that would be great, I wish they didn’t need to wait. We will pay our dues We believe in artists. We enjoy the content. Heck, we have a whole media company producing television and radio programming that is run by taxpayers just to prove it! Because we believe and we enjoy we will also compensate. Just give us a chance. And a change! Start with me! So, Microsoft folks, I am offering my help and assistance. I will show all my friends. I will help my family’s iPods go ‘missing’ and encourage them to replace them with Zune HDs. I will stand in front of the Apple kiosk in Walmart and show everyone who is stopping by for an iPod how cool the freekin’ Zune HD is. I will send emails out to old class mates and post about it on Facebook. I will Tweet about the awesomeness of the player. Just send me one. Heck, send me five and I’ll find homes for them…all in different markets…and I will help get the word out that there is more than one game in town. I was this close to having one before getting the carpet pulled out from under me. So I ask, one more time, please make them available north of 49.

In this podcast, I discuss how I screwed up my meal plan with an extra serving of rice cakes and jam. I share how there was a time in the past where I had no self-control and an undeveloped willpower muscle that served a bad junk food addiction. I bring to light how most people deal with dietary slip-ups and how I managed the psychology around my recent dietary slip-up. There is something everyone can learn from my slip-up as not even a fitness model competitor is perfect. Subscribe if you like what I have to say. If you enjoyed this podcast, please leave a review for me over at iTunes! It seriously motivates me to keep helping people (and I read all of my reviews!) Hi everybody, you’re listening to contest prep three of the Brad Newton show on behalf of SeekFitLife.com. In this episode I’m going to give you the low-down of how I screwed up and what I’m going to do about it. I know this is a confession, this is like, confessions 101. I did something last night that I wasn’t particularly proud of in hindsight, but I’ve come to realise that this is part of the journey of being a human being. That so many of our actions in life are so caught up on things that we do, as opposed to how we deal with those things that we do, and the psychology around how we move on from things that we do wrong in terms of our diet and so forth. As you may be aware I’m getting ready for a fitness model competition on the 7th of May 2017. So I’m six weeks out as I record this right now. It’s important that I stick to my meal plan and my training plan as close as possible so that I can yield the best results on the day of the competition. That’s the theory behind it. At the same time there’s the opposing challenge of being what they call a human, which is, there are times when it’s just going to be fucking difficult to completely execute everything that’s on the meal plan or on the training plan. At times you need to improvise. What I did last night was I overindulged in brown rice cakes and jam, and jam. I know it’s hard, you can’t see this, but if you go to the show notes, I’m going to make sure I put it up in the show notes. You’ll see photos of what I’ve put up, of what I completely destroyed last night. I wasn’t even supposed to, it wasn’t even part of the meal plan. I had a training session with my coach this morning Penny Lomas. I admitted to her, I said, “Look the meal plan says I can only have five rice cakes and two tablespoons of sugar free jam.” I’ll put this meal plan up on the show notes, you go and check it out. “I’m only supposed to have five rice cakes, two tablespoons of sugar free jam as opposed to workout, however, last night I had the entire packet of rice cakes and I had almost the entire tub of jam at about eleven o’clock last night, and it wasn’t after a gym session.” “I was at my laptop and I was doing some work with a company as part of this podcast relaunch. I was enjoying the process of getting the relaunch so much, I was enjoying the relaunch so much that I was getting stuck into these rice cakes and I was like, I didn’t care, I enjoyed it at the time. It was really good, they tasted amazing, but then I realised, you know what, I actually screwed up my meal plan for the day. I wasn’t supposed to do that.” Of course, I’m completely okay with it now because I realise that I consider myself as having pretty good willpower, in fact I surprise myself sometimes in that I can completely switch off, literally like a switch. I can have a cheat meal and that’s it, done. You could have it in the fridge, you could have it in the cupboard and I won’t even touch it. There was a piece of chocolate in the cupboard and it had been there for four months or three months or so, and I never touched it. It was there the whole time. Then when I won the competition on the 5th of March I had that piece of chocolate. We’re talking a piece of chocolate the size of a coin. I didn’t feel like I was forcing myself to not have it, I’ve just got this something inside of me that’s so well developed, my willpower muscle is so well developed that I just don’t have the urge. I can flick that switch. I do like chocolate but I can flick that switch. Remember this is a huge contrast to having a sugar addiction. Years ago, I remember, I’ve talked about this story where I had blocks of chocolate and I couldn’t stop myself, I was out of control. Now, I have complete control over my behaviour. It’s unbelievable just how far I’ve come in that respect alone. For some reason I just couldn’t stop myself with these rice cakes and this jam, and I’m like, “Interesting, that I’m still human and that I thought I was indestructible with my willpower but there’s something that still broke through that crack and allowed me to keep going with this and not stop.” I want to make mention that I’m completely okay with it now because I’ve spoke to Penny about this, this morning. I said, “Look, you need to modify my meal plan, I can’t have rice cakes and jam in there anymore. I love that stuff but you just can’t, I just can’t have it in my meal plan, it’s got to go. You’ve got to put the Vitargo back in there because you can’t overindulge on Vitargo because you’ll just get sick. It’s expensive as well so it’s a bad investment to overindulge in Vitargo.” Anyway, she made a decision on the spot. I admitted to her that I made this slip up last night, I was very open about it and she said, “Look we’ll put the Vitargo back in, fantastic, so that’s not going to happen again.” I want to talk to you about something because I think this is relatable to everybody. When you’re on some kind of weight loss programme and you are doing so well for a number of weeks on that programme and then you go out with a friend and have a drink and have a beer. Or have fish and chips and then you think, “Well I’ve just completely screwed up my diet.” Then you just go full out because you think to yourself, “Well I’ve screwed up anyway so I might as well just screw up even more, and I might as well just go all in.” Then the next day you wake up and you continue on that downwards spiral, and then the following day comes along and then you think to yourself, “I can’t stick to diets, this is not for me. It’s not going to work, I can’t make this work.” Then you completely give up. This is a cycle that all of us have gone through. I’ve gone through it in the past, we’ve all done this. The reason being is because I believe that people hold on to their failures when they don’t need to hold onto them. You know, I just told you that even at a competition level I still fucked up, I still slipped up. I still had that whole packet of …. I mean look, you could be like, you could’ve had a packet of lollies. I had a packet of brown rice cakes and a jar of jam. It could be a bowl of ice cream, it could be a tub of ice cream that you had. What people do is they hold on to that failure and then they blanket that failure across a generalisation of it being a complete failure. They don’t recognise that if you’ve gone off track with your diet in a moment, that it’s a momentary failure, not a complete failure. Do you understand that difference? It’s like, for me when I finished off that packet of rice cakes last night and that jar of jam I didn’t think to myself, “That’s it, my competition journey is over.” That’s ridiculous, that’s crazy thinking. [inaudible 00:08:11] to think, “That’s it, I’ve screwed this up. I’m out of the competition. I’m out. I can’t do this anymore it’s not for me.” Of course not! You need to do the same thing. Like go, “Okay, great. I screwed up, I know what caused the screw-up. I’m not going to walk down the aisle of the supermarket anymore. I’m not going to be associating with this person anymore, at least for the short term, because every time they have a cigarette it reminds me of a cigarette. At least for the next six months or whatever, six weeks, I’m not going to associate with this person. I’m not going to be around somebody who smokes because that’s going to be the trigger for me. I’m not going to drive past that service station, I’m going to take a backstreet. I’m not going to walk down this aisle of this street, or this lane way, I’m going to go somewhere else.” You just got to figure out a way of avoiding that ever happening again. What I did was I told Penny, “Look you need to take those rice cakes and that jam out of my meal plan completely, put the Vitargo back in.” That’s a solution. That’s practical, that’s very practical. So, I move on. That’s it, end of story. I’m on track. Yeah I slipped up, who cares, move on. Let’s be happy, let’s be happy. Do the same thing, all you need to do is the same thing. Don’t hold onto your failures. I spoke to someone at the gym about this, last week actually. She said, “Look you know what, I slipped up,” and she overindulged in something. She goes, “That was it I just kept going. I just didn’t stop. Then the next day I didn’t stop. I just kept going and then I just gave up on and what I was doing with the meal plan.” I said, “Ah!” Everything I’ve just told you right now I said to her, and she said, “Very interesting.” I said, “It is interesting because most people hold on to failures for much longer than what they need to.” Don’t hold onto your fucking failures. You slipped up, all right we’re human let’s move on. Okay? How do we avoid this from happening again and let’s have a nice day. Let’s move on from this. I think if you have that attitude it will completely change the dynamics of how you approach your failures. Your small digresses in your meal plan or your training plan, or whatever it is, plan that you’re doing. I had to put it out there. I’m very happy to admit this sort of stuff and if you can connect to this in some way that’s great. We can all learn from each other. So that’s where I’m at. So no more … I’ll actually put photos up of the damage that I did, up on my website in the show notes. Go, and check it out for this contest prep three episode. You’ll see the damage there as well. I don’t care, I’m very open about this. It’s funny because I share all this kind of stuff through Snapchat and Instagram stories because I’m a big believer in just having an open book about everything. I want to show the world that you can be absolutely healthy, fit and strong, and be still fucking human about it too. There are so many people on Instagram for example, that they portray this perfected, orchestrated life. They have this perfect body but they never ever show the blood, sweat, and tears behind the scenes of what it took to get there. It creates this curiosity with people of, “I wonder what it was like for them to get to where they are now? I wonder what it was like for them to have those big glutes. I wonder what it was like for them to have that great physique and want to have that beach body.” It creates this kind of mystery that I’m all about smashing through and just being completely transparent. I think if I can share with as much transparency as possible my journey to get ready for the world titles and that I’m still fucking human. I’m not afraid to admit it and I still make mistakes, but it’s not about making the mistakes it’s about how you manage that psychology around it. That, everybody can really connect to that and go, “Gosh he’s human, I’m human, we’re all fucking human! Let’s work together as a team and all reach our goals together.” I hope that I’ve maybe inspired you a little bit and if you have overindulged in a programme or you were doing some kind of programme and you’ve gone off track a little bit, it’s not the end game. It’s not finished, it’s finished if you give up. That’s when it’s over. I’ve been doing this for years, I’ve screwed up more times than you can imagine with all sort of things. I’ve injured my back, I’ve pulled muscles. I’ve done things wrong, I’ve done diets that were not effective. I’ve made all sort of mistakes. I’ve got roped into scams and spent thousands of dollars on magazines and seminars, programmes, juicing cleansers, all this bullshit, whatever. I’ve made all these mistakes and now I’m in a position where I’m going for the world titles. I’m trying to knock out number one in the world, and that you can totally do that and still be imperfect. That I’m not perfect. So anyway, that’s my rant, it’s over. If you want the behind the scenes of everything I do, of course, go over to Snapchat and add me over there and you’ll get everything I do behind the scenes. My meal planning in the kitchen, I give little demos. I want to go the gym and train, I have a little thing, I film all of that so you get to see what I’m training, how I’m training. Confessions, all kinds of shit. Everything I put on, it’s a lot of stuff that I would just not put in a normal YouTube video. It’s all the behind scenes of everything. Or Instagram stories, I’m now starting to use more of now. Add me on Instagram, SeekFitLife, or add me on Snapchat and we can connect on there. If you have any questions you can always reach me directly on those platforms as well. You can DM me, you can Snapchat direct me, message me, whatever, and I’m more than happy to help you out. I actually help people directly through Snapchat if they have questions about anything to do with body transformations, protein, whatever. Ask me anything, I help people. That concludes the episode my friends. If you like what I have to say review it on iTunes, it helps me a lot. Share it with your friends, write a review, one or two sentences over on iTunes. It helps boost the ranking of this thing and I can really spread awareness to fitness, health and everything like that, to the world that needs it more. Thanks again and you guys are awesome. Take care, speak soon.

InterContinental data breach hits more than 1,000 hotels, larger than first reported - InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) revealed Wednesday that a data breach impacted more than 1,000 properties across the U.S. and in Puerto Rico. First disclosing a breach in February, IHG said at the time only 12 properties were impacted. - IHG said in a statement that attackers were able to install malware "designed to access payment card data from cards used onsite at front desks" at properties between September 29 and December 29, 2016. Breached data including cardholder names, card numbers and internal verification codes were compromised. - IHG found out about the breach after banks alerted the company of a multitude of unauthorized charges on payment cards after they were used at IHG locations. The hotel group operates more than 5,000 hotels across nearly 100 countries. The company’s brands include Candlewood Suites, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, InterContinental, Kimpton Hotels and Crowne Plaza. Hotels are a favorite target for hackers. Many hotels are behind the times in implementing modern security practices and technologies. IHG did say it is pushing locations to implement the firm's Secure Payment Solution, which encrypts cardholder information. Travelers are also a good target for hacking because people who are traveling don’t necessarily see unauthorized charges immediately. IHG falls into a line of other hotels targeted by cybercriminals. In January, hundreds of guests at a 4-star hotel in Austria were locked out of their rooms after the hotel was hit with ransomware. Hackers reportedly breached the hotel’s electronic key system and prevented the system from working. And in November, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide reported that payment systems at 54 of its hotels in North America had been infected with malware. Around the same time, Hilton Worldwide Holdings also revealed that it was investigating possible cyberattacks. Cybercriminals don't exactly go out on a limb when looking for their next target.

Question about 1993 Ford Festiva Keep the plugs gapped between 45-60 thousandths and you will be good to go on all these vehicles remember a wider gap means a quicker wera out factor and a harder push for the ignition coils to bridge the gap on the electrodes. be certain the threads are clean and the plugs don't get smashed on the way in, if you have a hard to install spark plug use a flexible 1/4" inche vacumn hose and attach it to the tip of the plug be sure it fits tight, if needed go down to a smaller diameter, cut it to the length you need and walla, hand thread the monster into the hiol;e, then commence to use your ratchets/sockets.(use a plug socket that has the rubber protector inside it to avoid cracking the spark plug insulator when tightening) Have fun!!!!!!!

Thieves seemed to have turned their attention to commercial layers following the reported recent theft of more than 500 free-range hens from a farm near York. Reported in the Yorkshire Post, on 24 August 2009, the thieves are thought to have broken into the free range layer unit after forcing open a padlocked gate. An additional 30 birds were killed in the process, Police have described the theft as unusual and are trying to identify a two-tonne brown and silver 4×4 seen in the area. This is because until then, thieves have targeted smaller numbers of more valuable breeding stock, rather than large numbers of commercial stock. The latest theft comes just weeks after a police warning to owners to remain vigilant in June after a spate of poultry thefts across the UK. These included a case handled by North Yorkshire police where breeding birds (worth a total of £500) were taken from Airy Hill, near Filey. Further south in the same month saw birds, totalling £2000 in value, stolen from a pen near Chatteris in Cambridgeshire. Nearby in March, six free-range birds were taken from outside a bungalow, while in a separate incident two birds were taken from a front garden in a another part of the town by two men in a passing car.

An invitation to the first sleepover is perhaps one of the most exciting and nerve-wracking events in the life of any child. A weekend sleepover with a group of friends holds promises of party games and activities, delicious snacks and treats, and sometimes the chance to stay up much later than usual due to the circumstances. But it also means staying in an unfamiliar environment without mom or dad around. A kids’ sleepover may be the first time your little one sleeps away from home and away from his or her parents, which can lead to tension, agitation, and even a ruined evening. So, don’t let a lack of preparation ruin your child’s first sleepover. Instead, try these simple tips to prepare kids for sleepovers to ensure your little one has a blast during his or her first night away from home. Talk to Your Child About the Sleepover One of the best ways to prepare children for sleepovers is by sitting down with your little one and asking about his feelings or thoughts about the occasion. This is the perfect opportunity to gauge his interest in the sleepover, and determine whether or not you think he is ready. If your child seems apprehensive and even uninterested, it may be best to postpone sleepovers for a while until she seems ready. If your child is interested, but has questions or even fears, this is the right time to speak to her and provide any answers, helping her become calm and ready for the event. Try a Mock Sleepover at Your House A sleepover is often difficult for some children because it delivers a complete change in routine from their normal schedule. Your child may normally go to bed at 8 every night after having a bath, a couple stories read to him, and even cuddling with you for a while. At the sleepover you won’t be there to read stories, tuck in, or bring glasses of water. These changes in routine can make it difficult for a child to enjoy himself. You can help plan for this change in routine, however, by trying a mock sleepover at your house the weekend (or even a few days) before. To do so, gather up a few sleeping bags and pillows, and set up camp outside of the bedroom (this could be in the living room, in the basement, or somewhere else), and have everyone put their sleeping arrangements together. Then, have your child stay up a bit later than usual with the family, and play games and try other activities together. This may help your child anticipate and adjust to a change in routine; while your little one is still in the comfort of her home and around her parents. She will be better prepared for any upcoming stress during the real event. Come Up with a Plan Does your child still have anxieties about the sleepover? Is he still worrying about all of the possibilities that could arise away from home? One of the best ways to calm his fears is by coming up with a contingency plan beforehand. For example, let your child know that you are only one phone call away if he needs anything; hopefully your little one can make it through the night, but he will also know that you’re ready and waiting to help if need be. Send Your Child with Toys and Games Finally, an easy and exciting way to help your child prepare for a kids’ sleepover is by sending her along with some exciting toys and games. For example, you can have your child show up at the sleepover with the Wilderness Lantern, which is perfect for some outside exploration and can double as a nightlight. Or, you can help ensure your kid is the life of the party by sending along the Perfect Nail Markers Mega Set, an excellent sleepover activity. The party-goers can paint their nails in beautiful patterns with this fun toy. Prepare Children for Sleepovers with These Steps Are you getting ready to send your child to his very first sleepover this week? If so, don’t hesitate to utilize these simple ideas to make sure that he is ready for everything away from home.

PINEHURST, N.C., June 19, 2016 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Assisi Animal Health developed the Assisi Loop®, an effective non-pharmaceuticalanti-inflammatory device (NPAID®) that works as a PEMF therapy for felines. The Loop helps heal wounds and relieve pain in cats, dogs, and horses. Photo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20160616/380344LOGO 1. Plenty of water. Prevent dehydration by providing enough water for the outdoor cats. Place large water bowls throughout different areas of the yard away from the sun, and keep an eye out to make sure they are always full. 2. Frequent feedings. Cat food attracts several kinds of bugs and pests, so it's important to constantly change out the food and not leave it sitting for too long. It is recommended to pick up food after about 45 minutes to keep the bugs at bay. 3. Provide shady areas. Shade plays a major part in keeping cool, so if you don't have many shrubs or trees, make sure there are structures in place to shelter the cats when it gets too hot. This can include space under the deck or a specially built cat shelter. 4. Treat injuries and inflammation. Not only does warm weather encourage cats to run and play, but the heat also causes cases of inflammation to worsen. This increased exercise enhances the likelihood of injuries occurring. If you can coax them indoors, try therapeutic methods such as targeted pulsed electromagnetic field therapy via the Assisi Loop® to reduce pain and inflammation. Assisi Animal Health's clinical solutions complete the Circle of Care® — the collaboration of veterinarians and owners in animal health and healing. Our company helps veterinary professionals and owners improve the quality of life for companion animals using the Assisi Loop, the non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical healing device that is based on the same FDA-cleared technology used on humans. The device uses low-level pulses of electromagnetic energy to reduce pain and swelling, and to enhance recovery.

Eliot Quinn's Unassisted Birth June 7th, 2011 (Tuesday) I had been experiencing early labor for about two days. Cramping contractions were mild and rhythmical. I took walks every day on our road and a few by the ocean. I tried to rest, eat and take care of myself because labor could start anytime. By the afternoon of the 7th, the contractions began to feel a little stronger. I suspected things might be progressing but I didn't want to get my hopes up, in case it was just going on as before. I had been emailing with Christine (our doula) to give her status updates. I was thrilled when I could report a small bloody show. I called her and we talked about when she might come. It takes her about an hour to get to our house. This was just before 5:00pm. I told her she should wait until I was more certain of progress. As time passed, I became very focused on my contractions and also became quite restless. Thinking that things were really moving, I called Christine again just before 8:00pm. She got on her way. My MIL, Mary, had stopped by on her way home from Sacramento in the early afternoon. We all joked together about me possibly being in labor and how auspicious is was that she had arrived. She was at all of our other children's labors and births. Mary decided to hang out and before long we were asking her to stay for dinner. She and DH and DD went to the farmers market and brought home dinner. After dinner it was clear she was staying! Christine arrived around 9:00pm. We timed a bunch of contractions. They lasted about two minutes and were about five minutes apart. Soon, they were more like three minutes apart. Christine taught DH and I about counter pressure on my back and I was amazed at the difference it made. She also taught Hans the hip squeeze. Both of these, and the yoga ball, we used throughout the labor, which started to progress more quickly once Christine arrived. I expressed to her my worry about everything staying in a holding pattern, as it had the previous days, and it was as though speaking the words broke their charm. My membranes ruptured at about 10:00pm. I moved then from the living room to the toilet to see if more fluid would drain out. From then on, we stayed in our room and bathroom. I was excited and felt pretty good when my membranes ruptured. I knew things were picking up. I lost part of my mucous plug. DH filled the tub and got his swim trunks on. I labored in there for about an hour and it felt really manageable. I needed to pee so I got out, and from then on, things were pretty intense. I got into a good position on the yoga ball, laying forward into DH's lap while he sat on the edge of the bed. I could manage there for a while, then I felt I had to try something else. There was nothing that relieved the intense waves. I knelt on the floor, I sat on the bed, I crawled on the bed, I leaned over the ball on the bed. Ultimately, I was back to sitting on the ball and laying in DH's lap. I was close to losing it several times and DH really kept me together. He reminded me to breathe slowly, that I had been here before and that I was doing it now. He really kept me from losing it. This was my transition. I needed to go to the toilet. So we went. As soon as I stood, I was overwhelmed by another wave, only getting about two steps toward the bathroom. Another lull and I made it with DH to the toilet. I felt a lot of poop coming out. Suddenly, I felt the baby come down. His head was right there and I had an intense desire to push him right out. This was really the only true pushing urge I had. I screamed, "The baby is coming!" and DH could feel his head! I was still sitting on the toilet. DH sat with me, holding my perineum. Christine moved into swift action, but couldn't find the emergency birthing kit. Actually, I forgot to tell her where everything was! She yelled not to push! So while I'm panting I'm trying to tell her where everything is. It seemed to take forever for Christine to be ready. I was worried I might hyperventilate from puffing for so long. DH somehow helped to lift me off the toilet and down onto the floor. Mary had brought in a large blanket for me to birth on. I gratefully went on hands and knees. Baby's head was crowning. Christine asked if I wanted to catch my baby, but I told DH he should do it. While waiting for an urge to push (seemed like none were coming), I am told baby went back up into the birth canal. I gave up waiting for a contraction and pushed a little. Out came the head! From DH's vantage point behind my bum, he could see baby's face! Another push and baby slipped right through so easily. He was caught by DH but his slippery self kind of slid out of DH's hands and onto the blanket. DH passed him up to me and I sat up on my knees to greet our son. He was quiet, good color, eyes open. Christine rubbed him up a bit and he bagan to cry. He had a good long cry with a strong voice, telling us all about his journey. Our older children came in (DD had slept through the whole thing, while my older DSes were out in the living room.) and Quinn held each of their fingers in his hand. Quinn and I sat connected on the floor for a while. I later found out that it was about an hour and a half that we sat there! I had no idea! I finally decided to give a little push and out came the placenta. In a short while after that, Hans clamped and cut Quinn's cord. He was free.

Thursday, September 21, 2017 Ear, Nose, and Throat Disorders I have a cyst in my right earlobe that was pierced about 2 months ago. I have been having injections put in the earlobe to reduce the cyst by my doctor but it seems to be very inflammed inside the hole. I have no infection but when I try to wear an earring in this ear it will throb the whole time its in. Also my gland in my neck will throb too. I have taken Tylenol w/codeine, 4 motrin and nothing helps to stop the throbbing. If I try to keep the earring out to make the inflammtion go away it tends to want to close up. i don`t know what else to do to stop the pain. Can you help with an answer? Thank you. Occasionally, just puncturing a cyst will not resolve the problem. In some instances, removing the entire cyst is necessary. An Ear, Nose and Throat surgeon is one appropriate physician for such an evaluation and management. Wearing an earring is definitely something to be avoided until this is completely resolved. Until the issue is fixed, its unlikely that pain meds alone would relieve the discomfort.

My husband, Norm, and I, newly wed in D.C. and itching to get out of the big city, moved to North Carolina in 1990. It was true then, and is still true today, that it would be impossible for me to care less about sports. My husband, however, is an enthusiastic college sports fan. I had taken a job with a home care agency in Durham, and my boss was a rabid UNC fan and graduate, and a friend of Dean Smith. I had no idea what March Madness was, or the Final Four, or for that matter, which local team was coached by Dean Smith or which by the guy with the long named that didn’t sound anything like it was spelled. One day, a couple of years into my job, my boss asked my advice on how to handle a particularly sticky management situation. I thought about it, and offered some suggestions, and then said, “You know, management is a lot like coaching. Why don’t you ask your friend Coach K for his advice?” He looked at me, puzzled, and silent. “Oh,” I said. “Is that the wrong one?” My boss continued staring at me, waiting to see just how deep I would dig this hole, disdain quickly creeping in. I went blithely on, ignorant of my error. “Is it that Dean guy?” I said. He looked down, then up, then shook his head, and finally said, ever so sarcastically, “Uh, yeah. It’s that Dean guy.” When I told my husband that night what I had done, he was horrified. “You said that?!” he gasped. “Are you still employed?” From then on, at our house, sightings of the coach in the paper or on television prompted cries of “Oh, honey, look: it’s the Dean Guy!” Fast forward to several years later, when our then-7-year-old son was playing rec league baseball. His team was playing the final game of the season at the Anderson fields in Carrboro, and my husband went to watch the game. When they arrived home, Norm came into the house with a grin on his face, waving a rolled up newspaper. “I have a surprise for you.” he said. One of Dean Smith’s grandsons happened to be on the opposing team, Dean was in attendance to watch, and people were asking him for autographs and shaking his hand. He was unfailingly polite and gracious to everyone. Norm approached Coach Smith and explained about his sports-deficient wife, and told him that in our house, he was very affectionately known as “The Dean Guy”, and why, and asked him to autograph the paper as such. To my husband’s amazement, Dean Smith did exactly that, and to this day, our refrigerator is adorned with a small corner of a newspaper page that says simply “Best wishes to Maureen, The Dean Guy.” I never had the pleasure of meeting Dean Smith, but he was one in a million, and to my family, he will always be The Dean Guy. Maureen Dolan Rosen lives in Chapel Hill.

After its release in October 2011, the Apple iPhone 4S became the fastest-selling smartphone in history. It exceeds the capabilities of most other smartphone models from other manufacturers. Plus, it offers a handful of new features, as well as some functionality that isn't even available within other iPhone models (such as the iPhone 3Gs or iPhone 4, which also now run the newly upgraded iOS 5 operating system). If you're thinking about upgrading to the iPhone 4S, this article will help you to make an intelligent decision. What the New iPhone 4S Offers Since Apple released the iPhone 4S, and also introduced Sprint PCS as the latest wireless service provider in the United States to support iPhones (joining AT&T Wireless and Verizon Wireless), demand for this new iPhone model has been unprecedented. In addition to using iOS 5 as its operating system, the iPhone 4S (shown in Figure 1) offers a handful of technological advancements over the iPhone 3Gs and iPhone 4. For example, it operates using Apple's proprietary A5 chip, which gives it significantly faster processing power versus older iPhone models. Figure 1 The iPhone 4S looks like the iPhone 4 from the outside, but what's inside is more technologically advanced. However, many people are opting to upgrade to the iPhone 4S because of the phone's enhanced 8-megapixel digital camera and the Siri feature (discussed later in this article). In addition to offering front- and rear-facing cameras, the iPhone 4S utilizes the newly revamped Camera and Photos apps (which come bundled with iOS 5), allowing you to take sharper, more vibrant, and higher-resolution images, as well as shoot video in 1080p high definition. In addition to utilizing a faster processor, the iPhone 4S is equipped with two antennas, which allow it to send and receive data more efficiently at the same time. This functionality improves the speed at which you can surf the Web using a 3G Internet connection. The iPhone 4S is also a world phone that supports GSM and CDMA wireless technologies, meaning that by replacing the SIM chip, you can use the phone in more than 200 countries around the world, without incurring international roaming charges. To do this, when you travel abroad, you'll need to purchase a prepaid SIM chip that gives you a unique local phone number, plus the ability to make or receive calls, surf the Web, and/or send text messages from your iPhone. Apple boasts that the iPhone 4S offers an extended battery life compared to that of older iPhone models. It also features a more vibrant and higher-resolution Retina display, which becomes most apparent when viewing photos or video, or when playing games that feature highly detailed and animated graphics. As with the iPad 2, when you use the iPhone 4S with the optional Apple Digital AV Adapter cable ($39), you can connect the phone directly to a HD television set or monitor, and display whatever is on the iPhone's screen. This is useful for giving presentations or viewing photos on a big-screen TV, for example.

She was more important to me than I knew.... It was like any other day. I was working at the hospital when I recieved a call from my mother. It was around 10 on Monday morning. One if our neighbors had come to my parents house, crying because he had hit our dog Eliza. She was actually my daughters dog. She had helped my daughter through a rough period in her life, she was still helping her. My daughter had plans for a birthday party for her and was deciding on the perfect outfit for her Halloween costume. When my daughter started college 2 year before, she had lost her friends. She never had gotten involved in college the way I hoped she would. When she was in High School my house was always full, I had at least one of her friends usually more at my house. This last year my daughter had struggled with loneliness and depression, that changed when she brought Eliza home. Eliza brought her comfort and a faithful compaion. She brought joy back into my daughters eyes, and laughter back into our house again. Eliza was goofy, a klutzy, jumped on you, Eliza was a mess but she bought so much happiness to my house. I hadn't understood what she meant to me either, or well not the full scope. My husband left me for another woman 4 years ago. He has not divorced me, it kinda screwed up my life, and my kids lives too. He isn't a supportive father. His wants and needs always come before ours. Eliza filled this hole I didn't realize was there. Eliza was actually a present to my daughter from him on her birthday last year. Eliza was suppose to be the size of a beagle. She was huge, kinda like Beethoven in the movies. She had that personality also. She thought she was a lap dog all 76 pounds of her. She played and wrestled with the kids, but at the end of the day she slept at the end of my bed, but just until my daughter came home. Eliza would greet her at the door. I let her out in the morning because the kids usually weren't up yet. Eliza and I ate breakfast together, well we shared my breakfast. If you didn't share what you were eating, she would lay her head on your lap looking at you with the saddest eyes, and she was usually drooling. My daughter met a boy and had started dating in April. My son has a girlfriend and was visiting her as much as he could. So it was just Eliza and me at the house. She had filled a void for me left by my kids who were just growing up. I hadn't ever started going out after the split because well my self confidence is shattered, and it was easier to work more and read books than to have relationships outside my family. Plus the kids were my focus, always trying to be the good mother I know they deserve. Eliza was there on those nights when I began feeling the truth of my lonely existence, and she made me feel not so alone. I realise now that she is the first person I had allowed myself to get attached to since Joey and I split up. When I left that morning I will always remember petting her that last time, bending down for "kisses" before I left, not caring if a few stray dog hairs were on my uniform. I had bought a fence that was wireless. She had a collar that went on her and she ran outside all day long in the wireless fence. Sometime during that night or the one before, the battery on her collar had fallen off. No one noticed. Eliza chased something out of the yard that day and was hit by one of our neighbors. She died instantly. I cried at work when I found out she had died, not just because she was gone, but because of the heartbreak this would cause my daughter. That dog was like an emotional support dog. She cried so much when we told her Eliza was gone. She cried because she had lost her best friend. My daughters boyfriend has helped keep her from shattering into peices. Caleb has been good for her and he loves her. He is her best friend too. Caleb is getting his own apt. I am sure that my daughter will be over at his apt more, and it makes my heart ache. She would have come home because of Eliza, but I doubt she will come home as much to see me. And it kinda hurts to be at my house, because you feel the lose of Eliza not being there more so. When I am home, I see Eliza everywhere, and miss her terribly. I know that it must be more difficult for my daughter, and it worries me. I have seen her slip into depression, she struggles with it. I am terrified I could lose her again to it. Maybe it won't be that way. Maybe Caleb being there will make the differnce. Now my son never cried in front of me about losing Eliza. He loved her but it's differnt for him. He expresses his emotions differntly than me. This weekend will be the first weekend without Eliza's companionship. I dread it. We were suppose to take eliza to a pet clinic at the park Saturday. And I have this routine I do on the weekends. I always clean house that first day I am off. Eliza would try to attack the broom and mop as I cleaned, I first would act annoyed, but then we just played. She would get all riled up and run around slip and sliding on the wet floors. And we would all laugh at her antics. We would watch movies and she would be curled by my daughter or me. When I would lay done after getting the house clean she would lay down with me while I read my book. I was happy escaping from reality for a bit with her at my side. I took for granted that Eliza would be there when my daughter left home because she married or got her first apartment. She would be with me when my son left for college, and when I was sad and alone. I know I can get another dog. And I eventually will, but I will miss her snuggles, I will miss her kisses. I will miss our breakfasts togather. I will miss her at the end of my bed, feeling safer because she was there. And I will miss watching her make my children laugh. I will miss watching her run to my car when I got home from work, because she was always so happy to see me. I will miss playing tug of war with her, she had started to growl at you if you growled at her first. She had just learned to sit, lay down and stay. I will miss buying her dog treats, and pig ears to eat. I would lose myself in my work if the kids weren't there. Going home right now makes me sad. I see the tire marks that were left when my neighbor tried to stop. They are right in front of my house. The quiet hangs over my house like a depressing fog, sometimes it feels sufficating. I used to love to come home from work to see my kids when they were home, and enjoy dinner and a book, relaxing after a full day of work. Its not so relaxing now. I am worrying more than I should about my daughter, I am hovering more than I need to. Its hard to stop. We only had Eliza for 10 months, but she made things so much brighter. My heart just hurts so much now, and I know my children are hurting too. So now I pray that things get better. That I make the right decisions, and choose the right path to take. I know that the pain will lessen, it will just take time.

The Report Global Tissue Paper Market Report: 2015 Edition provides information on pricing, market analysis, shares, forecast, and company profiles for key industry participants. - MarketResearchReports.biz Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/11/2015 -- Tissue paper is a lightweight paper and has become one of the most essential commodities of daily life. Tissue paper products are generally made from three main types of raw material: Woodfree (or chemical) pulp, Wood-containing (or mechanical) pulp and Recovered paper. The tissue paper came into use in 1920's and since then the consumption of tissue paper has been consistently increasing. The continuous developments in the tissue paper industry have enabled individuals to lead a more sterile and hygienic life. View Full Report at http://www.marketresearchreports.biz/analysis/243745 Majorly there are five types of tissue papers namely; Bathroom Tissue, Facial Tissue, Paper Towel, Paper Napkin and, Specialty and Wrapping Tissue. Each of the tissue paper products has its own quality requirement according to the usage. The tissue paper industry is broadly classified into two categories: At Home; also known as Consumer tissue; and Away from Home (AfH). The At Home segment comprises of tissues that are used for domestic purposes whereas tissue under the category of Away from Home segment are used for commercial and industrial purposes such as hotels, restaurants, hospitals and institutions; they include paper towels, toilet paper, napkins, facial tissue, dispensers and tissue products used in a working environment. A number of properties, such as absorption, porosity, coarseness, tensile strength, and tactility, determine the quality of tissue paper. Download Detail Report With Complete TOC at http://www.marketresearchreports.biz/sample/sample/243745 The key factors driving the growth of the tissue paper industry include changing lifestyles, rising healthcare expenditures, increasing population apart from steady rise in global GNI and low penetration of substitutes for paper tissues. However, the growth of tissue paper industry is hindered by increasing demand of hand dryers by various organizations and other environmental factors.

Garne E, Dolk H, Krägeloh-Mann I, Holst Ravn S, Cans C; SCPE Collaborative Group. European journal of paediatric neurology: EJPN: Official journal of European Paedaitric Neurology Society. 2008 Mar;12(2):82-8 Congenital malformations are anomalies present at birth, observed in 2 to 3 % of children. They concerned any kind of organ, which can wrongly developed during in utero life. Such anomalies, in particular those concerning the brain, are encountered in children with cerebral palsy. What was the aim? This paper set out to answer the following questions: - How many children with CP have a congenital anomaly? - Which congenital anomalies are more frequently observed in children with CP? - Is the frequency of children with CP having a congenital anomaly higher than in other population? How was the work carried out? Data on children with CP from different places in Europe (eleven population based registers) were pooled together. Data concerned children born 1976-1996. They were reported under four categories of congenital anomalies, i.e. syndrome, chromosomal anomalies, brain malformation and non-brain malformation. What were the findings? A total of 547 children with CP had a congenital anomaly, i.e. 12 % among the 4584 children with CP. Most of the children with a congenital anomaly (n=394) had a brain malformation. Among them, the more frequent malformations were microcephaly (n=102) and hydrocephaly (n=74). Among the non-brain malformations, those more frequently encountered were cardiac, facial clefts, limb and skeleton. Congenital malformations were at least four times more frequent in children with CP than in general population. And among children with CP, these congenital malformations were less frequently observed when the child was born very premature. Malformations close to the brain were more frequently observed in children with CP. What does this tell us? In Europe, one child out of 50 is born with a congenital malformation. Among children with CP, at least one out of 10 has a malformation, most often a brain malformation, and mainly when the child is born at term. Children who are born with a brain malformation are more susceptible to develop CP than children who are born with another non brain-malformation, and than children who are born without any malformation. There are large number of different congenital malformations, which vary according to the type of CP. Thus large population studies are required to analyse this relation between CP and congenital malformations. Improvement in imaging performed for children with CP will be helpful. The summary of this study can be found in Pubmed, a database of citations from biomedical journals. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17881257 Garne E, Dolk H, Krägeloh-Mann I, Holst Ravn S,Cans C; SCPE Collaborative Group.

Whenever a new social media channel comes out, there's always this period of waiting with baited breath while we see how marketers are going to utilize it. It's almost like the first really big campaign both gives the site legitimacy and helps remind us of the full potential. While we've all been talking about Pinterest for months, a recent campaign from Kotex is winning quite a bit of endorsement as the first totally awesome Pinterest campaign. I've been playing around with the site and testing some marketing and engagement ideas since early last fall, and have been watching to see how the larger brands will come in and leverage it. While plenty of companies are doing a great job curating boards and reinforcing their brand, only a handful have actively worked to launch campaigns on the platform. Then I stumbled across the campaign put together for Kotex by Smoyz, an agency in Israel. To say this campaign was brilliant in its simplicity would be an understatement. And really, that's what often makes for the very best campaigns. Dubbed "Women's Inspiration Day," by the Kotex and smoyz teams, the campaign targeted 50 influential Pinterest users. The team took the time to browse through the pin boards of these users to get an idea of what inspired them. What they like, what they are interested in. Then they put together a customized gift for each of these Pinterest users. All the users had to do to receive the gift? Repin the image of it to their Pinterest account. Nearly every one of the users targeted followed through with the repin and Kotex says they also posted to Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Instagram about their packages. In fact, the smoyz team put together a little video to share the results...and the numbers are impressive. Here's the thing that puzzles me. In writing this article, I ran a dozen or more Google searches, including some using advanced operators and I couldn't find a single posting to a blog from any of the people they targeted. I couldn't even find any of the boxes that were originally pinned to Pinterest for the campaign. In fact, I can't find ANY thing about the campaign other than the video summarizing it and the bloggers talking about the video summarizing it. Which leads to the obvious question of why not? The video doesn't tell us the location of the targeted women. Were they all overseas, meaning I'd have to rerun my searches in other languages? It also begs the question of the true viral value of the campaign if I can't even find it when I go looking for it. Now, I like to think of myself as a fairly skilled searcher, but I'll freely admit I don't know everything. So if anyone else out there has actually spotted any of the participants posting about their experience, I'd love to hear about it so I can amend the post and show some actual examples from outside of the video.

Ever had a sleepless night? Maybe even two or three in a row? Then imagine what it would be like if you were awake for a week, without even a little nap. Two weeks. And your dreams start to invade reality. Kenneth Calhoun extends this idea to a whole world of insomniacs. How would they feel if they saw someone sleeping soundly? Calmly enjoying the one simple thing that eluded them? Calhoun decides they would go nuts, they would rip that Van Winkle apart. And, after reading his debut novel, Black Moon, I think he might be right. Calhoun explores this nightmare through the separate journeys of five very different characters. Biggs is a natural sleeper looking for his insomniac wife. Chase takes a road trip with his pharmacy assistant buddy who is convinced sleeping pills will become the new currency. Chase’s ex-girlfriend, Felicia, interns at a sleep research centre where desperate search for a cure goes on before the insomnia hits all the specialists. And then there’s Lila. The sleeplessness hasn’t caught up with her yet, and so her parents send her away before they get so frazzled that they kill her in her sleep. Calhoun’s prose is razor sharp, concise yet hauntingly descriptive. When Biggs arrives at his in-laws’ home, he finds it filled with insomniac neighbours: ‘Biggs observed how they seemed baffled by the position of the walls, the location of the doors, the height of the ceiling. The carpet confounded them, as did the late afternoon views out the window and the elegant mahogany furniture. They murmured to themselves as they picked through closets or stared at family photos, trying to situate their own dim histories—memories now distorted by the forces of exhaustion and hallucination—into the storyline that surrounded them. They were insomniacs under the impression they were home, yet home had somehow disowned them.’ This might sound familiar, like a new take on the seemingly undying zombie genre, but Black Moon is a zombie story for people who hate zombie stories. There’s no need to suspend disbelief here. Calhoun imagines a world we could all envision, and then leads us to the darkest corners of that concept. Any Cop?: In our view Black Moon was one of the best debut novels of 2014. Catch it in the new paperback edition. This baby is highly recommended.

|The CMBO Century Run Team - © Clay Taylor| The World Series of Birding is an annual competition and fund-raiser for nature and environmental organizations in which teams try to see or hear as many bird species as possible inside a 24 hour period (midnight to midnight) and inside the state of New Jersey. It’s held on a Saturday in the first half of May, May 6th this year. It was begun in 1984 by Pete Dunne and others, and the first year there were thirteen teams. This year there were 71 teams and hundreds of participants. Since its inception, the event has raised more than ten million dollars for the organizations involved. Our team, the Cape May Bird Observatory Century Run began in 1987, I believe. My first year was 1988, and though I’ve missed a few years, I’ve participated about 25 times. The event is a mixture of exciting (when you find good things), frustrating (when you don’t), a cool nature adventure, an exhausting experience, and usually lots of fun. Every year a core group of fans and supporters help me contribute to the cause of the Cape May Bird Observatory’s mission of conservation, education and preservation, and I’m glad they were there for me again this year. I could always use additional pledges and support - more about that at the end of the article. Our 2017 team had 15 members. I can’t identify all of them by name, but I will point out this year’s team leader, Brett Ewald, center, in the black jacket. Brett is the new CMBO program director and an expert birder. The two people to the right of him in black and magenta, respectively, are Kathy and Roger Horn, the team planners, along with Patti Domm. Patti works on logistics and with sponsors. Roger and Kathy plan the route, do most of the scouting, and keep everyone on point. To the right of Roger, second from the right, is Karl Lukens, a long-time CMBO Associate Naturalist and co-leader. At far right is Clay Taylor of Swarovski Optik, a team sponsor and the one with all the newest high-tech toys and gear. He’s been kind enough to give me some of his photos for this article, which will greatly improve it. That’s me on the far left. |Early Morning at Cox Hall Creek - © Todd Klein| |Laughing Gulls at Reeds Beach - © Todd Klein| |Seawatching at Norbury's Landing - © Todd Klein| |Jake's Landing - © Todd Klein| The next stop was Jake’s Landing, also on the bayshore, where we were delighted to see the sun! It came and went over the next few hours, and as the air was cool, in the low to mid 60s, it was welcome. The wind also continued all day, but did not interfere with our birding until much later. |Seaside Sparrow - © Clay Taylor| |Listening for Songbirds in Belleplain - © Todd Klein| |Scarlet Tanager - © Clay Taylor| |Summer Tanager - © Clay Taylor| |Higbee Beach WMA - © Todd Klein| We headed back to Cape May and the Higbee Beach Wildlife Management Area next, where the wind-sheltered, sunny fields got pretty warm. We were in the midday lull, a time when birds get quiet and often nap, not good for our numbers. |Prairie Warbler - © Clay Taylor| We did enjoy a few more cool birds like this Prairie Warbler, but we’d already counted that one in Belleplain. After walking around for over an hour with only a few new species to add to our tally, it was time for our own midday break. We ate our packed lunches at the picnic pavilion in the Cape May Point State Park, used the bathrooms, and rested up a bit before going out at it again. We don’t stop to buy food or drink usually, so you have to bring it all with you. I pack a large cooler filled with food and drink that gets me through the day. Afterwards we spent a short amount of time looking for new species there, but the leaders kept getting alerts about good things being seen at the Cape May Meadows. That’s a new aspect of birding these days: cell phones, texting, social media and birding informational sites like eBird are changing the way things are done. For the World Series of Birding, there are some things that aren’t allowed, but there’s also a message service between all the leaders to give tips on what’s being seen where. Karl Lukens’ phone was giving out his Black Rail call ringtone all day with those messages. Sometimes they were very helpful, more often we were far away from the sightings and not going there anyway. |Among other teams at the Meadows - © Todd Klein| As new cloud banks rolled in, we walked the trails at the Cape May Meadows, where we’d begun our day hours earlier, and found lots of new things for our list, some of them rare. |Stilt Sandpiper - © Clay Taylor| |Singing Prothonotary Warbler - © Clay Taylor| |Scanning Nummy Island - © Todd Klein| |Dunlin - © Todd Klein| |Stone Harbor - © Todd Klein| |Yellow-crowned Night-Heron - © Todd Klein| |Listening for a Waterthrush - © Todd Klein| |Nearing the End: Jake's Landing - © Todd Klein| On Sunday, a brunch was held for those participants who wanted to attend. I never do that, as I’d rather be home working on this report and whatever else I need to do. After the awards are given at the brunch, the official results of the World Series of Birding are posted on their WEBSITE. Thanks to my supporters and my own donation, I’ll be able to contribute pledges of several hundred dollars to the Cape May Bird Observatory for our team. It will take time for all the pledges and donations to be turned in and counted, but you can follow that on the main website page, and if you’re interested in our own team’s fundraising efforts, you can follow those HERE. Hope you’ve enjoyed reading about our birding adventures. No doubt I’ll be doing this again next year, and will blog about it then. Captain's Note - Thanks to Todd for taking the time to write this summary of a wonderful day, the team members that make it happen, Clay Taylor and Swarovski Optik for gear, equipment and camaraderie, and all the support, both financial and logistical, that make this such a great event for Conservation!

Let’s face it, every smartphone has an issue at some point. You install apps and root your devices to get rid of them. But what if it’s not even picking up your Sim Card? Sure, you can manage with problems with camera or certain apps but what if you can’t even make a call or send a text message? Not such a smartphone now, huh? “SIM card not inserted” or “Not registered on network” is an issue that you may encounter while making a message or a call. Don’t lose your brains, we have the solution for you. Well, five of them actually. - Go to the Settings and click on Wireless and Network option. Now go to the Mobile Network. - It’s time to reboot your device! Long press and hold the power and Home button for a couple of seconds. Your phone will start to blink and them go black. LEave the buttons. - Your device will now start rebooting. When the process is complete. check your phone again and inspect the issue. Booting your device to a safe mood is a great way to recognize any problem and take necessary actions against it. Safe mode diminishes all third party apps and then performs the task. - Power off your device by pressing and holding the power button. Click Power Off and confirm it. - Press the Menu Soft key at the left of the Home button when your phone starts to boot up. Keep pressing it. - Keep pressing until your Home Screen appears and you will see Safe Mode at the bottom left of your screen. - If the processing is carried out with any interruptions than a third-party app is responsible for your problem. Recognize the app and delete it. If the problem still sustains in safe mode, it is due to a hardware issue. Consult a technician If your phone is locked to a particular carrier then it won’t be able to process a SIM card of a different carrier. If this is the cause, go to a technician to get your device unlooked. You can also do it yourself by using certain unblocking softwares available on the internet. Hardware issues can also cause the problem. Remove your SIM card and clean your SIM card slot by blowing air so that the dust comes out. Defects in the sensors can also cause similar issues. To eradicate these faults, contact the service center to get it fixed. The last resort option should be the factory reset option. It’s the last because a factory rest erases all data on your device. Make sure to back up your device before performing this particular function. - Go to Settings and then click Backup and Reset option there. - Click Factory Data rest and then click on the Rest Device option. - Press Delete All. Everything will be removed from your device now. - Check your phone and hopefully all issues would had been resolved. If you struggle to use the hard keys for taking the factory reset, you can download and install the application here.

Well, today is the day that the Retiring Products list is available, so be sure to add any of those to your shopping cart before they sell out. Once they are gone, they’re gone!!! Retiring Product List PDF or click the image below to be directed to the online store! Today I can also finally share some of the excitement from the Sydney OnStage event held at Luna Park last Saturday. Here is a photo of Catherine and I at the entrance to Lunda Park and the stunning Ferris Wheel with the Harbour Bridge behind! We had perfect sunny weather for the 2 days we were in Sydney. We were lucky enough to get a table right up the front and here are a few of us from our Art With Heart Team. We had a fantastic time and loved receiving new product and of course, the brand new annual catalogue!!!! I was lucky enough to be chosen to be a display stamper and here are my projects! A few weeks ago, I received a big brown box with 3 of the new In Colour Ink Pads, 2 stamp sets (Beautiful Bouquet & Paint Play), Lovely Laurel thinlits, ribbons, embellishments, In Colour card stock, Pretty Label Punch and the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper stack to name a few, to create these projects! Over the next few months I’ll be able to show you more about my projects and better close up pictures, but what do you think of my display? Did you attended the event in Sydney, and did you see my display? And here is the view from our hotel room which was absolutely stunning and I just had to share it with you!

Oscillation occurs due to signals being fed back from the output to the input. By positively feeding back an output signal to the input when the gain is ≥1 (0 dB in the graph on the left), the signal amplifies itself and oscillation occurs, even without an external signal. In a negative feedback amplifier, the input and output phases are inverted (by 180 degrees). Therefore, the whole phase is delayed by 360 degrees if the phase of the negative feedback loop is delayed by 180 degrees, making it the same as positive feedback. In this state, if amount of feedback × gain is higher than 1, oscillation inadvertently occurs at this frequency, in the same way as positive feedback. Attaching a capacitor to the output pin causes the phase to be delayed, making it easier for oscillation to occur compared with a resistance load. As shown on the graph on the left, the degree to which oscillation does not occur is indicated by the phase differential of the frequency at which the gain is 1 (0 dB) (known as the phase margin) and by the gain at the point where the phase is 180 degrees (known as the gain margin). In the ideal amplifier, there is no effect from floating capacitance or GND wiring; but in reality, feedback occurs due to these factors. This is why oscillation occurs. |USB2.0 Host/Peripheral Controller|

“Change is as good as a rest”, they say, and there’s no bigger change than moving house. But sometimes, when you’re in the middle of relocating and you find yourself awash in a sea of bubble wrap, living out of cardboard boxes and wondering where you left the box tape, the last thing that you’ll ever agree on, with anyone, is “Yep, this whole moving malarkey is definitely as good as a rest”! Yes, moving can be stressful – in fact, it’s one of the most stressful events in modern adult life. Still, countless families do it every day, and why? Because (a) they wouldn’t go through with the move if the change wasn’t worth it (and by the way, it’s always worth it) and (b), when searching for a highly recommended and trustworthy removals company they discovered that Indalo Transport is a member of the Trading Standard’s ‘Buy With Confidence’ Scheme. If at this point you’re about to combust with excitement at being able to hire a Trading Standards approved removals firm in just one simple step and wish to be whisked away to starting the process of booking your removals to Spain from the UK, then 1-click here! If you’d like to find out more about what the Trading Standard’s ‘Buy With Confidence’ Scheme is, and if you’d like to learn exactly how you can Buy With Confidence through Indalo Transport, then read on! Who are Trading Standards? Trading Standards are an Institute of professionals who work with our local Councils. They act on behalf of all of us, as consumers and businesses. They advise and enforce laws that govern the way we buy, sell, rent and hire goods and services. Basically, the guys and gals at Trading Standards make sure that rogue traders and scammers can’t get away with ripping people off anymore. Consider them the Sheriffs of the business world, these knowledgeable professionals who always keep an eye out for consumers, making sure that they get the high-quality products and services they deserve, from credible, hard-working companies. If a customer ever has a complaint about a business, it’s the Trading Standards people they should go to for help and advice. (All links in this article open in a new tab of your browser, so you don’t lose your place!) What is their ‘Buy With Confidence’ Scheme and Where Can I Find the Website? The Trading Standard’s ‘Buy With Confidence’ Scheme for Approved Businesses was created nearly two decades ago with the aim to help consumers find reputable and responsible companies in all types of trades and services. It was designed to combat the rise in cowboy tradesmen looking to rip-off unsuspecting people, so the Scheme really is a great way to guarantee reassurance and peace of mind. Any business that you find within the ‘Buy With Confidence’ Scheme, whether it’s a removals firm or accountants, will be the very best of the best. The companies listed on the website are reliable, trustworthy and excellent value for money. Click here to go to the Buy with Confidence website (link opens a new page) It really is the one-click, sure-fire way of taking the guesswork out of finding a great business who are dependable, who only supply high-quality goods or services, and who provide outstanding levels of customer service. You should feel confident that any firm you find on the Trading Standard’s ‘Buy With Confidence’ website is the real deal. How do Removals Firms Become a Member of the Scheme? By being seriously vetted, and we mean seriously examined! Any business wanting to be a part of the ‘Buy With Confidence’ Scheme must be prepared to be probed, appraised, scrutinized, and reviewed, and they must undergo a myriad of stringent checks which include audit visits and include criminal background checks made about them and their team. The series of visits are undertaken, independently, by the local County Council’s Trading Standards Service, and only when a business has passed all of these rather draconian inquiries, can they join the Scheme. Once a company is approved, Trading Standards continues to monitor their performance through the quality and quantity of customer feedback. It’s a condition of the Scheme’s membership that these feedback forms are available to all customers, and honest reviews are the things which power the Scheme. What Are the Risks of Using a Removals Firm Who Aren’t in the Scheme? If you choose to go with a removals company that isn’t a part of the Trading Standard’s ‘Buy With Confidence’ Scheme, you could be risking, well, everything. There are countless stories of “White Van Men” who have placed online adverts promising a high-quality removals service at incredibly affordable prices, but once everything is loaded into the van, they drive away, never to be seen again. All the family’s possessions and the money they paid for the service, gone! Another potential risk about using a company that isn’t a member of the ‘Buy With Confidence’ Scheme, is not being able to do something if anything goes wrong. Many removals firms don’t have the correct type of insurance to cover the types of loads they carry, so if they happened to have an accident and all your items got broken, there’s no guarantee that you’d get your money back, nor the money to replace all your lost possessions. We don’t mean to scare you, heck, we know that there are hazards in absolutely everything, even in our best-laid plans, but by using a removals company who are a member of the Trading Standard’s ‘Buy With Confidence’ Scheme will mean that you really reduce the event of undue risks happening, and cover yourself in the event that anything does. Are Indalo Transport a Part of The Buy With Confidence Scheme? Yes, we are! You can rest assured that Indalo Transport is Trading Standard’s Approved, and you can Buy With Confidence through us. Not only are we members of this exclusive Scheme, which guarantees you’ll receive excellent value for money and customer service that is second to none, we’re also insured through Lloyds of London, so all your items are protected from Door to Door, across Europe. Does The Buy With Confidence Scheme cover Removals From UK to Spain? Yes, it does, and it’s quite serendipitous because that’s what Indalo Transport specialises in! We are a UK based company, with a depot in both Hampshire and in Southern Spain, and we help families each and every week relocate to Spain from the UK. Trading Standards approval backs up our commitment to exceptional customer service. Customer Satisfaction is by far the main reason why we keep seeing new and repeat business. So there you have it, several reasons as to why you really should book a removals firm that are members of the Trading Standard’s ‘Buy With Confidence’ Scheme. Moving should never be as difficult and as stressful as we all tend to make it out to be, so before you start packing and getting your knickers in a twist, do yourself a favour, just relax! Browsing the ‘Buy With Confidence’ website for a removals company will give you peace of mind and reassurance from knowing that whoever you choose will provide an excellent service, with care and respect, they’ll come highly recommended from previous customers, and they’ll offer you great value for money. If you’d like an affordable quote from a family-run, Trading Standard’s Approved removals firm, whose new and repeat business comes from the recommendation of many a satisfied customer, then get in touch with us below.

“Please share this video, far and wide! Modern Science is now beginning to confirm what Spirituality, Philosophy, Sages, Ancient teachings and psychedelics have been saying for millennia, that the entire Universe is One and that what we think of as “reality” is just an illusion.. And the only real thing in the Universe is Consciousness.” “If quantum mechanics hasn’t profoundly shocked you, you haven’t understood it yet.” ~ Niels Bohr This video speaks what I have felt for quite some time. Ever person, every animal and creature on this planet are one. Ever plant or tree is part of us. The planet and all the oceans are one with us. The whole universe is one consciousness. WE are all ONE! When we damage and pollute this planet we are hurting ourselves. When we hunt and destroy the habitat of animals, we are harming ourselves! It hurts me deeply to see so many religious wars going on. How many people have died in the name of religion? When actually all religions worship the same source! Religions just approach Divinity in different ways. One Religion is not more true than another one. So many innocent lives have been lost! Since the “One” reality has come into my life, my view of the world has changed dramatically. I treat all living things with more respect and awe. Because when you look at another person, they are actually part of you! A part of raising your Kundalini is to become One with Universal Consciousness. But you don’t have to wait until you are fully Kundalini Awakened to feel oneness. You can start doing that now.

Sometimes you wake from a deep sleep and for a moment, you don't know where or when you are. If you woke up that way today, what clues in your thoughts and perceptions would let you know that it is January? As much as we talk as if the holidays leave us energized and eager for the new year, I suspect that's not what most of us experience. I suspect that many of us wake from the holidays feeling a little tired, a little scattered, and ready to be more persistent than inspired. We've probably been through some emotional ups and downs and if we live in Canada (where I'm writing this), it's cold outside and we go to work and return from work in the dark. Even if you love winter sports, winter work is a bit of a hard sell. If you want fresh energy for a new year, you'll have to work for it. We worked for it this weekend when we sat at the tables above to explore how to learn and adapt. Here are some of the things that made it easier to generate fresh thoughts for this fresh new year: - a structured process for thinking (that's what is contained in those handouts) - a connection to other people who are ready to work for a fresh start (all those chairs) - windows for observing what is real without being defined by it. Our training room looks across traffic to a park. We always know what the weather is doing and we know how much natural light is available to lift our spirits. The windows ground us in what is real and assure us that what goes on in the room is also real. By acknowledging January, we are able to shift what it means: it's not cold and dark in our room. There's lots of movement and companionship and optimism inside and it's as real as the weather. But no one landed in our room by accident. We have to choose fresh ideas and fresh energy. They don't come with the calendar.

More and more authors are expected to do more for their books. Promote themselves, creating networks and audiences before they publish, and of course, do some significant editing. Editing, more commonly know as revising, is my arch nemesis. It’s the nasty reality of writing, the rude awakening that says, “you know how you slaved over your novel for the last few years to produce this draft? Yeah, you aren’t even close to being done”. Then it howls in laughter. Okay, maybe it’s not that dramatic, but you get the idea. You finish your novel thinking you’ve done your best to have commas in the right place, eliminate the passive voice, and destroy the repetitive use of words. But, as you open the word document and begin reading you will probably do what I did when I started to read my finished draft. Groan. Sigh. Then let you head slowly fall until its rested on the desk in the realization that more work is ahead. Now maybe you thought of it, but I didn’t. Revising, I believe, is the hardest work, work that causes you to dig even deeper into your self than a novel does. Since I know only bits about the editing process, I do know it can be more of a refining period and much more than simply tweaking grammar. Therefore I wanted to pass on this video about refining your work and tips from a very good blog WritingIsHardWork.

The Fallen Idol (1948) is a film by British director Carol Reed, based on the short story "The Basement Room" (1935) by Graham Greene. As was the case with the other films they made, The Third Man (1949) and Our Man in Havana (1959), the author worked closely together with the director on the script. The iconic image of the film comes somewhere at the beginning and is repeated several times after that: a boy staring down from an upstairs landing, peering through the railings at the doings of the grown-ups in the hall, almost as a spy or double agent. Both worlds are connected by a huge staircase - perhaps the main actor in this film which is almost a film noir, thanks to the cinematography of Georges Périnal and Vincent Korda’s set designs. The interior of the Belgrave mansion takes on the same mythical proportions as the streets of Vienna in The Third Man. The film is mostly seen through the naive eyes of the boy on the landing, who is further set apart for not being an actor and playing his role very awkwardly. But that fits the intention of the film marvelously, for in the story the grown-ups are all the time "acting" and scheming, while the young Phillippe indeed can't "act." Phillipe (Bobby Henrey) is the son of a diplomat, neglected by his parents, who idolizes his father's butler, Baines (Ralph Richardson), the only human being he feels close to. In order to entertain the boy, Baines tells strong stories about his non-existing exploits in exotic Africa, such as single-handed putting down an uprising, or killing a man in self-defense. The sad reality is that the butler has never been out of England and is stuck in a loveless marriage with a veritable harpy. Mrs Baines (Sonia Dresdel) also works in the Embassy, where she rules with an iron fist as the top maid. She is a sour killjoy, even destroying a small snake the boy secretly keeps, and Phillippe and Baines are naturally bonding against her. Phillippe catches Baines in a teashop with a young woman and Baines asks him to keep quiet about his "niece" - in fact she is Julie (Michele Morgan), a typist at the embassy with whom he is in love. And then death invades - Mrs Baines has fallen down the massive staircase after a fierce argument about Julie with her husband. Police officers come to investigate. Phillippe naturally believes his "idol" Mr Baines has done the deed of killing the harridan, and desperately tries to protect him. But his lies are so awkward that they only serve to betray Baines and lead him into deeper trouble. Baines' tall stories also come to haunt him. Next the police discover evidence that the fall was accidental and Baines is off the hook, but he has had to admit that his stories about Africa were all lies. He has lost his heroic status and so from his side also betrayed Phillippe. The boy, who has been ordered to tell the truth, now pathetically insists to the police that their new evidence is wrong (as he honestly but wrongly believes), but nobody listens to him anymore... This is a subtle movie that rewards leisurely viewing.

I found a conversation from the Gavin DeGraw Facebook-page concerning the new single Fire. It concerned the change that has been going through Gavin’s musical style and whether that is a bad or a good thing. This conversation was interesting to me and in the same time it made me think. A lot. It was about being a blind fan. The whole conversation can be found here, so just CLICK, it’s under the 12th August post “Watch the lyric video for ‘Fire’ now on VEVO”. But I’ll copy-paste the parts that I found interesting here anyways. MH: This song is not Gavin. Go back to who you were. You can be commercial without changing who you are and who we all fell in love with from the beginning. Not a fan. and I love everything this man does. DS: why is it… every time an artist does one song thats a little bit different to their usual stuff, some idiots feel the need to call them a sell out? or say “this just isnt them… why have they changed” can’t be a real fan if you don’t like or at least respect every song! brilliant powerful tune!!!<3 LS: to anyone who says he has to sing this kind of songs in order to stay relevant, i remind them that these already-heard-all-sounding-the-same songs are the ones people are soon going to reject. music needs diversity, not homogenisation. true artists have enough personality to evolve by staying loyal to their style and roots without bowing to the industry. influences are ok, but a total conversion to mainstream sounds and lyrics in order to reach easy success working less hard is not brave evolution, it’s commercialisation. music is identity, not fashion, to true artists. and true fans don’t have to support singers whatever they do. those are blind fans, not true ones. peace. KA: LS, although you seem to suggest that with this song Gavin has simply sought commercialisation and is working less hard and not staying true to himself, I have to disagree. To say a pop song is easier to write and results in less work is just plain dross. He recently discussed song writing in a video interview on here and his purist views of writing on his own and how this can be restrictive, therefore collaboration brings out new things in him, thereby being more creative and inventive. The lyrics are the key to a song, which again he reiterated in the video and he stays true to this writing inciteful and what are meant to be inspirational lyrics. To me his voice brings an imperfect soulness to a pop melody, which he has experimented with more on the last album. This actually brings a uniqueness in itself. He is a true musician and I don’t believe he will lose the true spirit of the soul that makes him, he can adapt and invent accordingly. If he produces another 2 or 3 albums with samey songs then fine but to begrudge an artist diversity in his own music labelling it as pure commercialisation is a bit short sighted. Fine you may not like it and I will be honest and say I prefer nothing more than hearing Gavin singing alone with a piano, but there is only so much of that writing you can do before you become stale and lose your creativity. LS: pop songs are not less hard than others, KA. i never said that. i really like pop music in fact, and anything in general is hard if done by means of true dedication, but the particular attitude gavin’s been having towards this whole new pop career aims precisely to produce as much music as possible feeling less stress, in order to “let the ball roll”, as he said in one of his last interviews. in order to “be in the now”. it’s patent that all this is going to affect quality. i don’t need other albums to say this cause make a move (the entire album) and fire come from the exact same field. specifically, the new single is another motivational anthem, a copy of everything will change, but this time with even poorer lyrics and annoyingly overproduced. absolutely not gavin. in the future, things might be even worse since he wants to experiment sounds and styles collaborating with artists like dj armin van buuren. i say “worse” because this is not evolution. experimenting something embracing what is trendy, following fashion after ten years of specific different direction, roots, values and trademarks, is not evolution, in my opinion. don’t like “commercialisation”? let’s say “easy attitude towards success”, if you prefer. this kind of change in this particular musical/historical period is not a brave evolution, at all. this is mere pursuit of success, exactly what he wants. he admitted that. he can say it through kind words trying not to betray long-term fans patently, but this is it. i have nothing against success for a great artist like him. he totally deserves it, but not this way. i could be successful too dueting with pitbull these days, if you see what i mean… if you watch his interviews over the years, you’ll realize he’s changed, very much, unfortunately. i had faith after make a move cause just like you i thought it would be only a step in the process, but fire is the validation of what i feared… KA: We shall see LS. Fire is essentially the prelude to his Greatest Hits album along with You Got Me, which isn’t far removed from his original ballad material. This prelude, which was produced by serial hit makers will no doubt be a way to get people listening to the more commercial world to tap into the old Gavin as well. As I say I don’t see 11 tracks, which is what it is including Make a Move as reason to think that he has lost his roots. In fact Save Us Tonight and Leading Man are not far removed from previous things he has done to be honest. He is currently in the Make a Move tour, which he has been doing for nearly a year now so this is the current music he is producing. It’s a movement in time and I think there will be other changes in direction that he takes throughout his career to stay fresh in himself. But I do hope on the next album there is a mixture of change and the old soul, but I do like to see him evolve and what that brings to the table. What do you think of this? Has Gavin changed his style for good? Is there no going back? Should or should he not go back? What do I think? Well, I’m a kind of a person who almost every time finds something to agree with both sides. And so do I in this one, too. This was very interesting conversation to me, because I kinda get both of these opinions. I was so totally disappointed with the Make a move -album when I first heard it. I thought to myself that this is not Gavin, at least not the one I knew. I thought that these songs I have heard before, they didn’t do the trick of degrawement for me. However, there was something intriguing that kept me listening it over and over again. And slowly he dragged me with him. In one interview Gavin says that it may take several listenings through to adapt to the new things an artist is doing. And that is just what happened to me. I adapted, I like the album now, but I have to admit I like the earlier ones better. Okay, the new single, Fire, is, just as LS said, similar to the Make a move -album. It’s not the old Gavin style. At all. But you know. One can do only so much before becoming boring or bored of what he is doing. “If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always got.” And in the process of developing, exploring, continuous learning that’s called life, you can’t go doing something you’ve always done. That’s not learning, that’s not taking risks, that’s not developing. That’s just boring. So, in a way, the point I’m trying to make… Even though I may not be madly in love with the newest songs, I can still understand where it’s coming from and have a respect for that. I think it is brave to do something very different from what it has used to be. In a way I do understand LS’s opinion, too, for if the thought behind the songs would be the easy money and success, it wouldn’t be brave, that would be only sad. But I’m not ready nor willing to believe that would be our Gavin. Time will show, though. The thing that made me write was about being a blind fan, and with that statement I so totally agree with LS. Being a true fan doesn’t mean you should love everything an artist does, just because it’s his doing. But that doesn’t mean I couldn’t grow to like the idea of the new things with him.

Month: June 2013 Twisty Stitches Cold Pressed Soap Store Now Open!!! Everyone uses soap! Soap is refreshing and there are many types of soap. Some have great lather. Others moisturize the skin and make it feel soft and smooth. Our Twisty Stitches Gourmet Soap is made one batch at a time by hand using simple oils such as castor, olive, coconut, palm and almond oil. Different oils add different qualities to your cold pressed soap. Each of the oils that we use will determine the hardness or softness of your soap, how well it lathers, and even how mild the finished soap will be. For example, palm oil will add hardness to the soap but if used alone the soap will be brittle with little lather. That’s why we add other oils such as coconut oil, olive and castor oil. These oils have good lather and help make a soap that is not too hard and not too soft (soft soap would simply melt away in water). Twisty Stitches cures each batch of soap for 4-6 weeks. Although using cold pressed soap immediately is okay, curing the soap will allow some of the water in the soap to evaporate which will help harden the soap so it lasts longer when exposed to water in your bath or shower. We will not ship the soap until it has cured for a minimum of 4 weeks. This may delay your shipment if you order more bars than we have available. We will contact you to let you know of the delay and allow you to choose another bar if you wish. NOTE: If you are ordering more than 3 bars of the same soap, please send us an email (email@example.com) so we can make sure we have enough to fill your order. If you are interested in purchasing our soaps in bulk, please contact us directly at firstname.lastname@example.org. Our soaps are perfect for massage therapists looking to add additional products to their services. We also offer votive candles that can be scented to match the soaps and sold together in gift baskets. Dallas Georgia Farmer’s Market All of our soaps and candles can be purchased from Twisty Stitches at the weekly Dallas Georgia Farmer’s Market every Saturday from 7am to 1pm. You can also find a number of other vendors selling fresh fruits and vegetables also at the farmer’s market. As a teacher there are many reasons to use puppets both inside and outside of the classroom. Some of these include attracting and capturing the attention of children. They help stimulate the imagination. Puppets are an excellent teaching method as they are both visual and interactive. I decided that it would be fun to create Old MacDonald’s farm out of finger puppets, and in honor of my friend Anna “Hillbilly” VonWart, I decided that a goat would be first. I started with a sketch. I cut out the sketch and traced onto the felt. I cut out some of the basic shapes that made up the goats face out of contrasting felt. I used dark blue for the stripe down the forehead, the nose area, and the beard. Next I cut out the goats horns from a golden color. I used some extra colors (maroon) for the nostril area. Then I began to stitch around the beard, nose, and stripe on the goats head. Also up along the sides. To make the eyes I used 4 ply thickness of embroidery floss, made a knot and then sewed over to the left, over to the right and continued until the eye was as large as wanted it to be. Tied off. I continued up and around the goat, inserting the horns, and continued down the other side. All in all he turned out quite well. My next animals will include sheep, chickens, and cows. Hopefully I will soon have a menagerie of animals (sheep finger puppet, goat finger puppet, chicken finger puppet, cow finger puppet) for my students to enjoy.

I got the rules at Xmas but apart from a quick read through then, haven't really studied them but I found the mechanics really easy to grasp and they make for a quick, fun game which has lots of potential for other periods as well. Units come in predetermined sizes and roll either 12 dice to hit, or 6 once they reach half strength. Units also have an armour value which determines how received hits affect them. As the casualties mount units can become 'battered' and less effective before finally running away. Each unit needs to roll a determined score to move, attack or shoot...normally a unit failing a roll would mean that play passes to the other side but a house rule at the Shed meant that the active side retained the turn and only that unit couldn't activate. This seemed to speed things up and make it less 'bitty'. Eric's write up will give you a feel for the scenario and photos of the fantastic terrain and figures...the game swung either way and really did come down to the wire at the end...great fun! The 'Ouch' in the title refers the reason I won't be painting for a while. One of my dogs got in a bundle with another dog a couple of days ago and I made the mistake of instinctively trying to grab his collar... unfortunately the 2 dogs moved their heads and I discovered they both had 'nasty big pointy teeth' just like the Rabbit of Caerbannog! The end result was 2 nights in hospital as I had a chipped bone and damaged tendon in my thumb and a trip to the vets for my dog...the other dog was unhurt. To be honest lying in a hospital bed with someone opposite me with their leg in a cage and someone in the bed next to me who had nearly sliced his hand off with a circular saw, I did feel a bit of a wuss! Even the producers of '24 Hours in A&E' who were filming in the hospital weren't interested in talking to me...

Leona Lewis uploaded a teaser of her singing Superwoman, a song recorded by Alicia Keys, for upcoming Women’s Week 2017. She will be doing couple of live interviews on Monday through Facebook and Instagram. International Women’s Day celebrates the social, economic, cultural and political achievement of women. Yet progress has slowed in many places across the world, so global action is needed to accelerate gender parity. In 2016 leaders across the world pledged to take action as champions of gender parity – not only for International Women’s Day, but for every day.

I want to begin by putting on the record what I and the minister and our respective parties agree on in relation to this issue. That we owe a great debt of gratitude to the members of the Irish Defence Forces for their commitment to their country and to their jobs. Over the years they have faced down many threats internally within the state and externally across the world in pursuit of peace. They continue to serve both at home and abroad fearlessly and have brought and continue to bring great distinction to our country. What we disagree on however is the organisation of those fine men and women in the country and the impact that changes on that organisation will have on communities across the island. This is why we are here tonight. I along with my colleagues Brendan Smith, Robert Troy, Senator Diarmuid Wilson and Cllr Siobhán Ambrose then Mayor of Clonmel have sought since April information on proposed barrack closures. However, the standard reply from the minister is that “no decision has been made” Yet, within the army community and within local communities, especially in Cavan, Clonmel and Mullingar, there is a wildly held belief that their barracks will close. This belief is based on internal briefings from within the army. This belief is based on comments made by several government TDS, including comments such as - “The glove are off” - “ I have no cause for optimism despite putting up a very strong case for the future of the barracks” - and a lengthy release from one government deputy outlining (a) the options for army members who are moved and (b) that the physical barracks will be made available to community groups immediately on closure. So the words in the government amendment that “condemns mischievous attempts to exaggerate the impact of these necessary decisions and create unnecessary fears among local communities” are relevant to government TDs more than most. I’ve no wish to name the TDS involved. This motion is about the 500 families that are been left in limbo by this lack of decision and their communities. This is why we have chosen to put this motion down this evening-to offer you Minister the chance to bring clarity to this picture for once and for all. I want to reflect on the government amendment for a few moments. The first line of the government amendment is to congratulate themselves on taking “resolute action in facing the economic crisis”. And yet three lines later it states that decisions in relation to estimates and the troika have been taken by the previous government. It is those same estimates Minister that you are congratulating yourself for implementing in the first line. Yes, in government we closed army barracks. We did so in the face of strenuous and hostile opposition from your party. We are not hiding from this, it is straight up in our motion. There is nothing “inconsistent” about our approach. - We closed them because of the transformed security situation on this island as a result of the peace process. - We ensured that 85 million euro from the sale of those closed barracks was invested back in to among our army one of the most modern in Europe And because of that experience and that work we know that we should not close any more barracks. 18 is an optimal numbers for a force of 10,000 or so. 18 reflects a suitable geographical dispersal highlighting different specialties within the army. Those specialities are instanced in Mullingar, which is the only artillery barracks left in the country, in Clonmel – a vital base for the RDF and Cavan- a state of the art purpose built barracks, one of the finest of its kind in Europe. These three barracks are collectively home to just over 500 soliders and their families and are worth about €15 million to the three local economies. How will the withdrawal of that spend from these three economies impact on the “public finances” you proclaim to be so worried about in your amendment? Your amendment speaks of “unnecessary” fears. There is nothing “unnecessary” about the fear amongst these communities. They are afraid because on the one hand they are hearing it from the army that these barracks are to be closed, they are getting vibes from their government TDs that the barracks are to be closed. And because you will not tell them or indeed us what exactly your plans are these fears are been allowed to fester. So Minister tonight’s your chance to end those fears for once and for all. I know from your form and from your amendment that you won’t probably deal with these genuine fears, we’ll have your usual broken record of blaming my party for everything from the collapse in the economy to stealing your sweets as a child. However I would like you to deal with some of the following; Where will the savings be made by closing these barracks? I want you to answer that in the context that: - you will not be laying soldiers off, - you will be paying them extra travelling allowances, - you will have to make capital investments in other barracks to accommodate them and - you will still have substantial security and maintenance bill in the sites you close - You will not be able to realise any capital from the sale of the closed barracks in the current climate How will the defence priorities of the state be served by closing these barracks? Surely you should await the publication of the new white paper before proceeding with further closures? - Closing Dun Ui Neill will leave only two barracks on the border. If we needed any reminding that we still need maximum protection along the border, the seizures of illicit fuel and the arrest of dissident republicans in the past few days. - Closing Columb will leave us without our last Artillery Barracks in the country and an important Unifil Staging Post - The closure of Kickham in Clonmel will be a serious setback to the operations and organisation of the RDF Proceeding to undermine these three functions will hamper the integrity of the White Paper process. There is a danger that in a debate about barracks and the economy that we forget about the most important element of this issue-the people involved. Hundreds of army personnel around this country do not know tonight where they will be stationed in 6 weeks time. They do not know what their working and commuting day will look like. Some are on service in the Lebanon and do not know where they are coming home to. Their families do not know. Their communities do not know. I started by paying tribute to these brave men and women. Is this the way to treat them and their families? Minister, you have it in your authority to clarify their situation and that of their communities. Take that chance.

The a 2010 report, the National Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries in 2010, has revealed that the most dangerous jobs in the U.S. in 2010 included truck driving, fishing, logging, mining and aircraft-related occupations. Many of these occupations are considered dangerous due to the heavy machinery or trucks used. For example, truck drivers drive commercial trucks which sometimes weigh up to 80,000 pounds, so that any accident involving these trucks leads to serious injuries and fatalities. The interesting thing about the other statistics, as well, is that many of the other occupations listed as dangerous also include trucks or heavy vehicles. For example, logging often requires large commercial vehicles in order to move timber. Even in jobs where trucks are not regularly used, such as animal handlers, many of the 2010 fatalities stemmed from transportation accidents. There’s no doubt about it: transportation is a major risk in the workplace. Transportation accidents are in fact a factor in many other dangerous jobs. For example, trash and recycling pick-up workers experience a high rate of injury and fatalities. While this can seem like an unusual statistic, the reality is that trash and recycling pickup workers use large trucks in order to do their jobs. These trucks must make frequent stops and starts in order to pick up garbage and waste. The frequent stops and starts can easily lead to accidents. As well, the drivers and workers must enter and exit the truck several times throughout the day, increasing the risk of a pedestrian accident and other types of accidents. Accidents on the job are very complex from a legal point of view, as they often concern labor laws, workers compensation rules, and laws surrounding drivers. If you’ve been injured in a trucking accident on the job, you will need a qualified Florida trucking accident attorney and workers compensation attorney to investigate your accident and to determine whether adequate precautions were taken to keep you safe on the job. There may be multiple liable parties, which can help you get fair compensation in order to cover your medical costs, lost income, and other expenses. No one should be injured on the job. If you have sustained serious injuries in an accident while working, you deserve qualified legal help so that you can understand your options. Good legal help can also help ensure that there is someone to aggressively fight for your rights. Your employer and their insurance carrier have teams of attorneys working for them – don’t you deserve quality legal assistance as well? If you have been injured in a Florida truck accident on the job, you need a qualified attorney to help advise you of your rights, options, and to help you investigate your case. If you need a qualified Florida truck accident attorney, contact the legal team at the Flaxman Law Group for a free initial consultation. The legal team at the Flaxman Law Group has offices in Miami, Homestead, and Hollywood, making it easier to serve you better. If your injuries do not allow you to travel, the legal team at the Flaxman Law Group is even willing to travel to your home, workplace, or hospital room to discuss your case with you.

Blorange Is The Hair Color Trend That Celebrities Are Obsessed With Last year's reigning hair color trend was platinum blonde, but the bleached look is being replaced by a hue that’s super daring. Meet blorange. It's not a new color. It just has a new, weird name. In fact, "Milkshake" singer Kelis brought all the boys to the yard back in the early 2000s with the peachy tone. Now, variations of the color are starting pop up all over social media. The trend is an orange shade with a hint of pink—similar to blood orange. And it looks like a muted version of the rose-gold trend that was blowing up a few months ago. According to Buzzfeed, Georgia May Jagger was the first celeb to give the look its clever nickname. In September 2016, Jagger showed off the cool, washed-out look on Instagram. And ever since then, we've been seeing it everywhere. Stars like Hailey Baldwin and Pretty Little Liars actress Troian Bellisario have also tried out the look. Even Kanye West is walking around with pink and orange hair. The shade looks amazing on all skin tones. But it's not the easiest hair color to maintain. "These tones are very delicate and have a tendency to fade rather quickly," Matrix celebrity colorist George Papanikolas tells SELF. "They usually last about 20 shampoos." That's a bummer if you're trying to wear the trend year-round, but it's perfect if you aren't ready to make a long-term commitment. You'll need to switch up your hair routine and space out your wash days. "A dry shampoo like Matrix Style Link Mineral Play Back ($18; matrix.com) will help absorb oils and keep hair looking fresh so you can wash less," Papanikolas says. "You should also consider the damage that comes with a color like this." The harsh dyes can wreak havoc on strands if they aren't properly cared for. That means swapping traditional shampoos and conditioners for gentler formulas, plus scheduling regular trims. If you're still curious about the blorange movement, check out some gorgeous photos of the color below. Here's Georgia May Jagger rocking the peachy color. Pretty Little Liars actress Troian Bellisario dipped her brunette ends in the fun color. Hailey Baldwin styled her blorange hair in two topknots. The creamsicle shade also looks amazing on darker skin tones. Here's a subtle variation of the popular color. And this ombré version includes yellow tips.

Date: August 15, 2007 Senate Passes H.R. 976, The Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Reauthorization Act of 2007 On August 2, 2007, by a vote of 68 - 31, the Senate passed H.R. 976, the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Reauthorization Act of 2007. The CHIP reauthorization bill was initially considered as S. 1893. However, because the bill contained revenue measures – constitutionally required to originate in the House – H.R. 976 was used as a vehicle for the Senate to consider CHIP funding, with the text of S. 1893 substituted for the original House language. The modifications of interest contained in the Senate-passed bill are described below. Unlike the House-passed reauthorization of CHIP (H.R. 3162), the Senate-passed H.R. 976 contains no changes to the Medicare program. Verification of Medicaid and CHIP Applicants' Citizenship • Would give States the option to verify U.S. citizenship or nationality for purposes of Medicaid or CHIP eligibility through electronic verification of name and Social Security number (SSN) combination. Under the new rules, a State could document citizenship by: (1) submitting the name/SSN of an individual to the Commissioner, and (2) in the case of an individual whose name or SSN is invalid, providing the individual with 90 days to present paper documentation of citizenship (e.g., a U.S. passport or valid State-issued driver’s license or identification card, or a birth certificate combined with a prescribed, acceptable identity document) and disenrolling the individual within 30 days after the end of the 90-day period if documentation is not provided. • Would also require States opting for the electronic citizenship verification of new Medicaid or CHIP applicants to establish a program to submit each month to the Commissioner for verification of the name/SSN of each individual enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP that month who attained the age of 1 before the date of the enrollment. Verifications for States Participating in the Express Lane Demonstration Project • States participating in the Express Lane Demonstration Project(see footnote 1) for purposes of determining eligibility for State CHIP or State Medicaid plans would be required to verify applicants' citizenship or nationality using either the paper verification or electronic verification methods described above under “Verification of Medicaid and CHIP Applicants' Citizenship.” In addition, if States choose the electronic citizenship verification method, they would be required to verify their (over age 1) Medicaid or CHIP program rolls each month. Protections for Families Caring for Injured Service Members • Would amend the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 to provide up to 26 weeks of unpaid leave to employees who are caring for family members who have been injured or become ill in the line of active military service. Eligible employees could elect (or employers could require) that accrued paid leave be substituted for unpaid leave. - Would prohibit for up to 52 weeks, the firing, demotion or any adverse action against employees who are absent from work in order to care for family members who have been injured or become ill in the line of active military service. 1 The Express Lane Demonstration Program would permit States to rely on findings by an Express Lane Agency to determine components of a child's eligibility for Medicaid or CHIP. Express Lane Agencies are need-based public programs, such as school lunch, food stamps, and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). Express Lane Eligibility (ELE) is a way to expedite enrollment into health insurance programs for large numbers of uninsured children, specifically those enrolled in other public programs.

PHNOM PENH — Prime Minister Hun Sen on Monday urged Cambodian farmers to put off sales of rice due to recent falls in the commodity’s price on international markets. Hundreds of Cambodians have protested in recent months over price suppression by local traders. Shortly after the protests, Hun Sen moved to set a fixed price for rice and called on ministries and officials to purchase rice from farmers. “When our region and the world is facing a crisis about the decline in rice’s price … I would appeal to people to try to dry paddy rice and store it for a while,” he said. “When the price rises, sales should resume.” He said that Cambodia would stockpile 5 million tons of rice and be in a position to export hundreds of thousands of tons to countries like China and Vietnam. The prime minister also called on microfinance institutions to help farmers, without going into details. The traders who sparked protests were allegedly offering between 600 and 650 riel (about 15 to 16 cents) per kilogram to farmers, but when the rice arrived at the mills they would refuse to pay the full price. Chhong Sophal, coordinating officer of NGO Farmer and Nature Net, said the government should launch a campaign to study rice production in the country, because the overheads were quickly catching up to sales and eating into farmers’ profits. He said that farmers may spend 900 riel to operate a hectare of rice paddy but earn only 800 from traders. “If I produced three tons of paddy rice, I would lose 300,000 riel.” Private rice mills were standing to reap the benefits of the price war, as their huge stockpiles had kept the price of milled rice artificially high, he added. Phou Puy, president of the Bank of Paddy Rice in Battambang province, however, said the farmers would not stage further protests as there were signs that the price of paddy rice was increasing. “We don’t have any problems. The price won’t fall in our country,” he said. “It has started to increase a bit.”

Club Foundations - how it all began The Club's 25th Anniversary bench on Hayes Common Bromley Veterans Athletics Club was formed in 1989 by a group of ladies who were at that time members of Bromley Ladies AC. Unfortunately, the veteran members of this club did not get a lot of opportunity for club competition. A few were called upon to compete in 2nd and 3rd teams but some did not compete at all. They were largely left to their own devices and apart from vets only meetings had to compete in open events against athletes much younger than themselves. By the autumn of 1988, veteran members and especially road runners, began drifting away to join other local running clubs. However, the vets liked competing as a team and indeed in the summer of 1989 on joining the Midlands Track & Field Veteran League they won their division and came second in the final. So the idea formed of creating a separate veterans-only club and in September 1989 around 14 veteran ladies resigned from Bromley Ladies AC and after much work a new mixed club, Bromley Veterans A.C was formed. This was thought at that time to be the only veterans-only club in the country apart from the regional ones and we believe that this is still the case today. The original idea was that the club would be small and friendly, with as few rules and regulations as possible. It was decided that club colours would be royal blue and gold – colours which we still proudly maintain today. By the end of that first year the original nucleus of ex-Bromley Ladies had been joined by veterans from other local clubs, and BVAC had 24 members, including two brave men. Club night was Tuesday and members met up at Norman Park, or the club headquarters in the nearby Bromley Town Squash Club (now the Nuffield Health Club). Membership has risen steadily over the years and now stands at around 100, with an equal division of men and women. Tenth, twentieth and twenty-fifth anniversaries have been marked with formal dinners and special events, together with fund-raising for local and national charities. The thirtieth anniversary will be 2019 - watch this space!

Then again it serves dual purpose: weeds out the raid applicants very neatly and in a nice way if there is competition for a raid position in the guild, and it gives the casual applicant (aka moi) the sense of importance and seriousness of the application. And of course, it gives out the business card of the guild. I made this decision only after having a lengthy and nice chat with the guildmaster: it only proved what the website and the guild description had given me to understand. The decision was easy after that convo, thanks to that! For the time being I won't go into details of the guild, but it's sufficient to say that the guild has long history on the server, it's mentality is that of "humble superiority" which I have grown to appreciate over the years in games and it caters both casuals and raiders: one growing to another, the other making way to another. I'm pretty excited about this. Really. It's like the saying: "When the pupil is ready, a mentor will show." In my case it's that as I'm ready to change my way, everything just snapped to place. First my rant about how it's impossible to get into anything 'meaningfull' in the game anymore, Azariel's deep and wise (as always) comment and my visit to the realm forum where this particular guild had just posted it's announcement for more players for their raid team. It was way too easy and way too straightforward. Just like my life in general. There are only two issues left: to get the Three Stooges in together (as my brothers haven't done their applications as of yet) and the fact that I'm going to be away for a couple of weeks at the end of this month/beginning of the next due to our dogs competing in European Masters Lure-Coursing... But still, I just noticed I've been given green light by the recruiting officer.

Accordingly, such facilities are identified on this web site by fictitious names, shown in [brackets]. Read a newspaper article about the facility, from December 13, 2000. [NC-1] is one of five "Project Offices" built by AT&T in the 1960s in the mid-Atlantic region. The station is hardened against nuclear blasts, and features an earth-covered underground building with a "drive-through" entrance-decontamination area, a high-powered troposcatter radio communications system with large concrete-backed reflectors, a helipad, blast-resistant terrestrial microwave "dish" antennas, and physical-security measures beyond those used at conventional AT&T facilities. Detailed information about [NC-1]'s function has never been revealed. The facility housed a switching system for the Department of Defense's AUTOVON telephone network, but that was probably not the station's primary mission. It's likely that [NC-1] supported a highly-classified Continuity of Goverment program and may have served as an emergency relocation site for senior executive-branch officials and/or military leadership. [NC-1] is still an active, secure AT&T facility, and unofficial visitors are not permitted. Created on October 26, 2007 at 19:37 by Albert LaFrance

Vegetable Gardener’s Container Bible, The How to Grow a Bounty of Food in Pots, Tubs, and Other Containers By growing vegetables in containers, even novice gardeners can reap a bounty of organic food in very small spaces. Anyone can harvest tomatoes on a patio, produce a pumpkin in a planter, or grow broccoli on a balcony – it’s easy! Ed Smith shows you how to choose the right plants, select containers and tools, care for plants throughout the growing season, control pests without chemicals, and much more. He even includes plans for small-space container gardens that are perfect for urban and suburban gardeners. - Edward C. Smith

It is better to settle for Mr. or Ms. Okay than searching too hard for the perfect mate, says a new study. As the Valentine’s Day is approaching, a number of people are trying to find a date. Researchers suggest that instead of holding out for someone who makes you 100 percent happy, it is wiser to go for someone who fits in your needs and goals. Michigan State University professor of molecular genetics and microbiology, Chris Adami said “Primitive humans were likely forced to bet on whether or not they could find a better mate. They could either choose to mate with the first, potentially inferior, companion and risk inferior offspring, or they could wait for Mr. or Ms. Perfect to come around.” For the study, researchers used a computational model to determine the risk-taking behaviors of thousands of generations. Digital organisms used for the study were programmed to make bets in high-payoff gambles. The study reflected the life-altering decisions made by natural organisms, such as selecting a mate. He further added “If they choose to wait, they risk never mating.” He also explained that early mating has some evolutionary advantages. “An individual might hold out to find the perfect mate but run the risk of coming up empty and leaving no progeny. Settling early for the sure bet gives you an evolutionary advantage, if living in a small group.” According to study co-author Arend Hintze, a research associate with MSU, “We found that it is really the group size, not the total population size, which matters in the evolution of risk aversion.” Researchers opine that in the hope of finding someone better, we should not forgo someone who might prove to be mostly compatible. Adami elaborated “We do not all evolve to be the same. Evolution creates a diversity in our acceptance of risk, so you see some people who are more likely to take bigger risks than others. We see the same phenomenon in our simulations.”

In the next century we’re going to be moving back and forth, experimenting with where to draw the line between institutions of science and institutions of the market. In this context, there has been considerable criticism of President Bush's proposal to spend $1.2 billion on hydrogen fuel cells. Paul Georgia says that the technology is over-hyped. Since hydrogen does not exist in geological reservoirs it must be extracted from fossil-fuel feedstocks or water. The process of extracting hydrogen uses energy, which means that using hydrogen is less efficient that burning fossil fuels... The other option is to extract hydrogen from water using renewable-energy sources...by the time you use the energy to extract hydrogen from water, transport that hydrogen to where car owners can get to it and then recombine it with oxygen to re-extract the energy the cost becomes astronomical. [this is] all the more reason taxpayers shouldn't be forking more over to the effort. Granted, there are areas where government research funding serves a purpose -- particularly in fields where there is little or no commercial market to drive development. But private companies clearly think they stand a chance to make money from fuel cells; if a market exists, they'll find it, without Washington throwing money at them. Such technology subsidies, particularly to get renewable energy technologies to the point where they are commercially viable, overlook an important point: the fact that these technologies are not commercially viable may mean that they are not economically efficient. If entrepreneurs and investors do not think that these forward-looking investments make economic sense, then for the government to override this decision with subsidies is almost certain to be wasteful and more costly than need be.

But I made it through 1 1/2 hours of piano. I cancelled the last hour, which made me so sad. They are two of my best and most talented students. They come from a home of structure, discipline and commitment. Their parents don't throw away money just to say their kids take this lesson and that. Mom and dad actually expect them to practice. This family is golden. I actually have several golden families that I teach. I am so blessed. The King took over my biggest stress of the night, finishing the flag stands for New Beginnings tomorrow. My poor attempt from earlier today just didn't cut the mustard- it wouldn't have held up Kate Moss let alone a poster board YW torch. They are going to be fantastic. Did you know spray paint just runs in 20 degrees? Something I learned tonight. I'm sure I have forgotten a hundred things that I will hit me 10 minutes before NB starts tomorrow night, but I so don't care anymore. My eyes are going to pop out of my head because the blood flow into my brain is stuck right between my eye brows. Yep, right on the newly aquired furrow lines (thank you Man Child). Earlier I wrote a totally snarky and bitter post that I immediately deleted after posting. I sure hope no one had a chance to read it in the 30 seconds it was online before I came to my senses and remembered my vow of just yesterday to be a better person. If you did, please just chalk it up to the ramblings of a severly mentally compromised person- I haven't been able to connect 2 cohesive thoughts together since the 'graine landed. Holy frick! I've been typing away for 10 minutes and I can't remember a thing that I've said. I bet none of it makes any sense, but right now I'm not caring so much so I won't go back and edit. I'm sure tomorrow I'll be very embarassed.

I’m digging this record here. What a way to kickoff the weekend. Reflection Music Group’s own Derek Minor brings the heat with his new single “Fresh Prince” this Friday afternoon! With ample trombone synths and echoing 808s, Derek’s self-produced track has a nostalgic feel including several references to the 1990s sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel Air starring actor/rapper Will Smith. Additionally, the song title offers clever wordplay and celebrates the blessings of being the son of the king. “Fresh Prince” available at online retailers today. Get familiar with Derek Minor and his new single “Fresh Prince” below. © 2017, Eldorado2452. All rights reserved.

This palace was hand built by postman Ferdinand Cheval. It took him 33 years to build and he calls it Palais ideal. It is a great reminder that a person can do anything with sufficient passion, effort, and time. He began working on it in 1867 when he was 13 years old after tripping over a bazaar shaped stone and marveling at it. It was completed in the 1970’s. The palace is more than 30 feet (10 meters) high and 85 feet (26 meters) long.

Now comes the debate over the debates. No matter who "won" or "lost," it's clear that there has been momentum building toward Mitt Romney since he first debated President Obama early this month in Denver. Plus, a look at the competitive Senate races. And the comment by Indiana Republican Richard Mourdock about rape, pregnancy and God has put a GOP Senate seat in jeopardy.

Anna officially received her new leg last week! We are so happy with the incredible job they did. She is no longer telling me to take off her leg as soon as she gets home because she's outgrown it and it's uncomfortable. She is walking great and has had no problems adjusting. It makes a world of difference having her prosthetist in town, instead of hours away- I know she is getting the continous care and adjustments she needs to grow and walk properly in the future. Now that she has her leg she can go in any time to have her gait checked and to ensure a proper fit. Lately she wants to run so badly- her little legs go as fast as they can, but she just isn't able to make them go fast enough. The prosthetist told us that it would be difficult for her to run because the ankle in her prosthesis doesn't bend. When she gets older she could get a special leg if she desires to run. I can't lie, that makes this mama a bit sad- the other day I saw all the two-year-olds at her church school running to the playground together, and I can't help but picture Anna struggling to keep up and being left behind. But, as her teacher says, she is 'feisty' and I have no doubt she can handle that and the more difficult situations she will encounter in life. Anna got her first pair of real sneakers! Prior to her new leg she was wearing a foot that was three sizes too small, so we could not make sneakers fit. Now she has the appropriate footwear for outside and doesn't have to climb on the playground in slippers! Here are some shots of Anna in her new leg. Lastly, I want to thank those of you who gave and are still giving to Anna's Leg Fund. It has been a tremendous blessing for us during this difficult transition to provide for Anna's medical needs. Since most of you gave anonymously, I don't know who you are (unless you want to tell me!), but I assume that you read this blog since it is the only place I posted the link. So know that we feel loved, blessed, and that your generosity brings tears to my eyes. May God bless you tenfold.

To differentiate the Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII in Japan, Square Enix added a few different features. Final Fantasy XIII Ultimate Hits International has English Voice acting, "My Hands" from Leona Lewis, and an easy mode. "How Easy Mode Makes Final Fantasy XIII Easier" I can't tell if that's just a poorly worded redundant statement or a jumble of words. In any case, did FF13 need to be made any easier? I truly missed the difficulty of previous FF titles, or even more current RPGs like Demon's Soul or Star Ocean. N4G is a community of gamers posting and discussing the latest game news.

About Evening News Only two issues of the Evening News survive in P.E.I, collections. The first, issued on January 29, 1874, featured foreign and local news shorts, fiction, poetry, letters regarding the Land Question and advertisements. It was published by J.F. Brennan & Co., which also published the Islander. The second surviving issue, dated Mar. 6, 1884, was the first issue of a new series. Whether or not the Evening News had been publishing continuously between 1874 and 1884 is unknown, but it seems unlikely, given the prospectus to the new series. It stated that the Evening News was beginning as a replacement for the Patriot, which was not being published at that time because a fire had destroyed its presses. This second issue of the Evening News advocated Liberalism and printed news and advertisements.

Christianity is just about being real. We all have feelings, thoughts, wants, needs, lusts, desires, joys, sadness, likes, dislikes, opinions and ideas. God is familiar with all of them. I have always wanted to start a men's group in my home with the name "Beer, Barbecue and Bible Study". I'm not sure the church community is ready for it just yet. I have begun to paint dogs. Some of the dogs don't like paint on them, so I have to be careful. Ha! Actually, I have taken on painting dog portraits with oil paint. If you would like your furry friend's portrait, let me know and we can work something out. This started with a painting of Mr. B, my old beagle, because he is 14 now, and will not be with me much longer. Then a friend of mine's beloved hound passed away from an illness. I did a portrait of her as well. Anyway, feel free to look at some of my art at www.fineartamerica.com, as well as others. dog paintings pet paintings

Paul jogged onstage with my Gibson. I swapped the electric guitar for the acoustic and slid the strap over my shoulder. Amazing that I could be sitting on a cold stool in the hot lights of a open-air college amphitheater with five thousand screaming fans and still feel so damned alone. I sucked in a slow breath, my fingers instinctively reaching for that first chord. My Gibson was my focus. With her in my arms, everything else faded away. “I love you, Logan!” I peered into the blinding spotlight and leaned into the mic. “Love you, too.” The crowd went ballistic. Tonight was my twenty-third birthday, and I was spending it with my alt-rock band, Logan and the Howlers. We were finally starting to see some success. Our songs climbed up iTunes charts as fast as we could release them, and our concert venues were getting bigger without the backing of a big record label. We were busy. Even on my birthday. Luke, my twin brother, was waiting somewhere in the wings. After the show, we were going to grab a couple of beers to celebrate, and I’d paste on a smile for my brother. For me, it was just another empty year. As my Pack brothers each found their mates, the one woman he would ever love, the ache for mine grew, but unlike the rest of the Pack, there was no hope of me being with her. I blew my chance years ago. Pushing the memories away, I leaned on the stool while the rest of the Howlers vanished offstage for a water break. This was my song. The crowd erupted as I strummed the first chord. “Madness in the Moonlight” was still one of our top selling singles, and a favorite at live performances. My pain on display. She haunts my dreams. Shadows of the past. Ripping my heart down the seams. No one to blame but me. I’m a lone wolf now, but I still stare up at the moon, Call her name, and wonder if she’s looking, too… I sat back, letting the crowd finish the chorus, wailing the anger and rage. Madness. Madness. Madness. Wishing won’t change a thing. Tell that to my fucking heart. Welcome the pain, feel something. Got to let her go. Another verse, another chorus, but as I hit the key change, a familiar scent, clean and spicy like cinnamon ignited my senses. Oh shit. From where? I was the only member of the Howlers who actually howled. Once a month, the wolf in my soul came forward and I shifted my form, surrendering to the animalistic part of my spirit. And right now the dormant wolf was clawing toward my consciousness, no longer content to rest in the background. Even as a man, my senses were heightened—especially my senses of smell and hearing, but my vision didn’t suck, either. I’d performed this song hundreds of times. My fingers found the chords instinctively, but I almost missed my vocals, stumbling over the next verse while I scanned the crowd. Finally I turned toward the wings. In the shadows offstage, my brother Luke waited for me…with a ghost from my past. I forced myself to face the crowd. This was no time to lose my shit. What the hell was she doing here? I powered through the ending of the song and stood to accept the cheers. Grabbing the hand mic, I tried not to check the wings again. “Thank you. There’s no place I’d rather be for my birthday!” A deafening roar erupted from the crowd. “Happy Birthday, Logan” signs waved back and forth as my bandmates came out to join me, taking the decibel level even higher. Stryker jogged out, still shirtless, his untamed long hair bouncing with each stride. The guy was a monster on the drums. He raised his drumsticks while Levi, tall and slender, pumped his fist from behind the keyboard. Levi had a degree in music, and a knack for fleshing out harmonies. Plus he was our de facto social media manager, saving the rest of us from being near a computer. We loved him for that. And finally Zane hustled out with his bass guitar on his shoulder, waving to fans. He was the “Old Man” of the Howlers. It didn’t help that he liked to keep his hair slicked back in a 50s pompadour. Zane stopped next to me. “You okay, man?” There was no way any regular guy would’ve heard it through the roar of the audience, but I caught every word. I glanced at the wings, relieved to see them empty. Maybe I’d imagined her. Wishful thinking. I’d recognize her scent anywhere. I swapped my Gibson for the electric guitar and hit a chord. The Howlers had my back, filling the concert hall with a wall of sound, but I couldn’t lose myself in it this time. Any movement offstage had me jumpy and tense. This concert couldn’t be over soon enough. “Night, Logan.” Zane grabbed his guitar case. “Good show, and happy birthday.” “Thanks, man.” I dried the sweat from the back of my neck and tossed the towel in my bag. Stryker was still dismantling his drum set. We could afford roadies to do it now, but he got territorial when it came to his drums. He looked up, flipping his mop of hair out of his face. “Later. Have a birthday beer for me.” My bandmates had grown accustomed to me being on my own. It was tough to keep secrets from people you care about, so I kept my distance. I hit the exit, and her scent assaulted me. Luke sat on the bumper of my pickup with Anna standing beside him. Their conversation halted as I came closer. As impossible as it seemed, she was sexier than I remembered, her curves more pronounced in her tight black dress. Something inside me came unglued. The wolf howled, filling the empty space in my chest where my heart should have been. Luke hopped off the bumper. He kept his dark hair shorter than I did, and working outside on the horse ranch made his skin a little more tan than mine. But he wasn’t wearing his faded ranch clothes now. He looked sharp in his black denim and white T-shirt, trying to impress a ghost from my past. My eyes narrowed on my brother. “I didn’t know we were bringing dates.” He frowned, draping his arm around her shoulder. “Oh, come on. Vivi’s like family. Did you know she’s staying up in Lake Tahoe right now?” No, I didn’t know. She haunted every dream, every quiet moment. Her face fueled my muse. And if he didn’t stop touching her, I’d go out of my fucking mind. Her voice was deep, rich and smooth like melted chocolate. She had dark eyes that used to see all the way into my soul. Could she see how empty I was inside now? I swallowed the lump in my throat and did my best to sound flippant. “I didn’t know you were a fan of the Howlers, Anna.” “You don’t get to call me that anymore.” Her brown eyes flashed. She shook her head and took a step back. “It’s Vivi or Vivianna.” Not to me. Her heart was pounding. I didn’t want to hear it. I didn’t want to hurt her. Too fucking bad. She brushed her hair over her shoulder. “And I’m not a fan. I was here for work.” I needed to touch her. Clenching my fists, I fought the desire. I’d never be strong enough to walk away again. She needed to leave me. Now. “Were you selling merch?” Her brow furrowed, her jaw dropping a little. “Seriously?” She shook her head. “Thanks for reminding me what an asshole you are.” “Good to see you, too. I’m going to get a beer.” I pinned my brother with a stare. “I’ll meet you at Lou’s.” Without waiting for an answer, I put my guitar in the cab. I should’ve gotten in and driven away, but I turned back one last time. Anna grabbed Luke’s hand. My brother turned toward her, and bitterness burned my stomach. Maybe they were on a damn date. The light from the streetlamp glistened on her long black hair, teasing me. Every angle of her face tempted me. I hadn’t spoken to her in just over five years, but my hunger for her hadn’t faded. Far from it. “Happy Birthday, Logan.” My name sounded cold on her lips, like a dagger in my chest. What could I say? I broke her heart, but I’d do it all over again if it meant her dreams would come true. Our futures were always headed in opposite directions. I made the right choice. It took every ounce of my will to get in my truck. I slammed the door and drove away. Longest damned drive to Lou’s in my life. The dive bar was dimly lit, with a pool table in the far corner. The juke box blared “Hotel California” while I nursed my second whiskey, neat. I sat on a stool in the shadows at the end of the counter. The last thing I was in the mood for was some drunk chick to recognize me. A few years ago, I tried to drown my sorrows in fast women and band groupies, but nothing filled the void Anna left behind. No amount of no-strings-attached sex was ever going to hold a candle to making love to her. Ever. My brother finally walked through the door. I held my breath, but it didn’t open again. Anna wasn’t with him. The only trace of her was her scent on his fucking shirt. “Hey, Logan.” We clasped forearms, the traditional Pack greeting. “Happy Birthday.” “Yeah. You, too.” He glanced at my glass. “Moved on from birthday beer, huh?” He took the stool next to me. “What the hell happened back there with Vivi? I thought you’d be happy to see her.” I growled, downing the last of my whiskey. “I don’t want to talk about it.” He ordered a beer then turned my way. “She’s been staying up at Lake Tahoe with a college friend. I ran into her a couple weeks ago. She’s never seen you in concert…” He shrugged. “I thought it would be fun.” Maybe it was her scent on his shirt, or the way she held his hand as I drove away, but I caught his wrist before I realized what I was doing. My grip tightened like a vise. “You can have any woman in the world. Not. Her.” My final words were more animal than man. Luke’s eyes widened, and I let go of him, dragging a shaky hand back through my hair. My wolf was dangerously close to the surface, and the full moon was still two weeks away. “First, we’re just friends, and second, I hate to break it to you, but you don’t get to call the shots here.” Luke leaned in close. “You dumped her and never even told her why. She waited for you in her prom dress. You humiliated her.” “I was there. I remember.” He groaned. “She hates you.” “She should.” My voice cracked as I signaled for another drink. Anything to kill the ache inside. “Okay, then why threaten me about seeing her?” I met his eyes, staring at my mirror image. “Because she’s my mate.” His jaw slackened for a second as my words sank in. I wasn’t sure how I expected him to react, but shoving me back into the bar wasn’t it. “You selfish prick.” He shook his head and lowered his voice. “How could you not tell me?” “What was I going to say?” I took a swallow of my drink. “Anna is my mate, but we’re too young? It’s complicated?” “It could have been that simple.” He shook his head. “But you didn’t trust me to understand.” He slammed his hand on the bar. “Our whole Pack blew off the stories of one mate for life. You knew it was true all this time, and you never said anything.” “You don’t understand.” “So help me. Why didn’t you tell me?” “Because it was none of your damned business.” I pushed the glass away. It wasn’t helping anyway. “It was between me and Anna.” “And five years later, she’s still clueless. You never told her, either.” I dug inside the pocket of my jeans and pulled out a few bills. Slapping them on the bar, I glared at my brother. “I’m not doing this here.” He caught my arm. “Logan.” I sighed and met his eyes. “Yeah.” “If she’s your mate, then she’s the only one for you.” A crease formed on his brow as he lowered his voice. “You’re choosing to be alone…forever?” My gut twisted. “I loved her. I still do. So I’m walking away.” I yanked free from his grasp. “Just do me a favor and stay out of it. And stay away from her. The sooner she gets out of town, the better.” He glanced at his boots, shaking his head. “Good luck with that.” “What do you mean?” “She’s got a chance for a staff job at Rolling Stone. Her dream job.” The bartender set Luke’s beer on the bar. He took a swig and tried not to smile. “That’s why she came west to stay with her friend. She’s here to be the first to get an interview with reclusive indie rocker, Logan Reynolds, from Logan and the Howlers.” Lisa Kessler is an Amazon Best Selling author of dark paranormal fiction. She’s a two-time San Diego Book Award winner for Best Published Fantasy-Sci-fi-Horror and Best Published Romance, as well as the Romance Through the Ages Award for Best Paranormal and Best First Book. She currently writes the Night Series and the Moon Series for Entangled Publishing. Her short stories have been published in print anthologies and magazines, and her vampire story, Immortal Beloved, was a finalist for a Bram Stoker award. When she’s not writing, Lisa is a professional vocalist, and has performed with San Diego Opera as well as other musical theater companies in San Diego. She’s his muse, his mate, and she’s completely off-limits. He’s a jerk, a recluse, and her newest assignment. Until he broke her heart, Vivianna Lopez loved Logan Reynolds. Five years later, she’s an aspiring music journalist and he’s the camera-shy lead singer of Logan and the Howlers. Armed with a backstage pass, Vivi’s back in her hometown of Reno, nestled in the shadows of the Sierra Nevada mountains. She must score an interview with Logan to land her dream job - otherwise it’s back to Boston, with no scoop and no job. It’s just business–at least that’s what she keeps telling herself. Logan still loves Vivi, his soul mate, but there’s something even she doesn’t know about him: He turns into a werewolf every full moon and a secret organization is hunting down his Pack. Vivi may not have Logan’s senses, but she can sniff out that he’s hiding something. He knows it’s only a matter of time before the truth about him - and his Pack - is revealed. And then he really will lose her. Lisa Kessler’s Moon series tells the story of a pack of wolf shifters that live near Reno and Lake Taho. Because of her use of intriguing world building and engaging characters, Kessler’s group of shifters and their mates stories have become a go to series for me. Each book is about a different pack member and each tells how that one shifter finds his mate. Along the way in these books, panther shifters and their unique world also became part of the series when some find their mates among the wolves. Since panthers and wolves are mortal enemies, it’s made for some compelling reading at times. The panthers in this series belong, or used to belong, to a secret organization known as Nero, that does torturous experiments on shifters-panthers, wolves, or a hybrid of the two. This has been the cause of much of the suspense, scary moments, and even deaths in these books. Twins, Logan and Luke have been peripheral characters throughout this series. Logan is lead singer of a local rock group, Logan and the Howlers. Because he is a shifter, and because his band doesn’t know that, he keeps the band local and doesn’t tour even though the group is now famous. Logan has loved the same girl since high school. Loved her and left her at seventeen, because he couldn’t handle being a shifter and keep it a secret from her as well.It didn’t help that he realized she was his mate back then, but knew he had to let her go to follow her own dreams. Anna has never gotten over her heartbreak when Logan left her. She went on and got her journalism degree, but now she’s back and on assignment to get the illusive Logan to do his first ever high profile interview. Second chance romances are sometimes the best! I’m a sucker for romances that feature rock stars so this one quickly became one of my favorites of this series. Logan was perfect for this story as the elusive rock star-elusive for both the public and initially, for Anna as well. He still doesn’t want to bring her back into his dangerous world, but since she is his mate, he can’t stay away from her. Anna of course, is still in love with Logan, but tries very hard to put him off. Yeah, that’s so not happening! So I did enjoy both of their characters, and we do get both characters point of view-something I always appreciate in a romance. Madison, a peripheral character in Ice Moon, is back as Anna’s best friend/roommate. Anna actually was first briefly introduced in that book as well. And of course Luke has a much bigger part in this installment. I liked him and hope he has his story next. Part of Kessler’s world building has only males getting the werewolf gene and when born, they are all twins. A villain from a previous book is featured in this book, as well. Romance, sexy times, good characters, interesting world building, and a compelling danger component (which I won’t tell about due to spoilers) make this series a must read for me. I love catching up from one book to the next with all the characters that I have grown to know and appreciate/love. It’s an adult read and I would highly recommend this and the whole series to paranormal romance readers, or even to readers that enjoy romantic suspense, because a good read is a good read, regardless if it’s paranormal or not. I’m Lorna and I live in Maryland. Since retiring, I spend my time mostly reading and reviewing books. My favorite reads are Paranormal Romance, Urban Fantasy, and Young Adult. I read a lot of indie books in addition to traditionally published books. Favorite paranormal creature? Vampires, but I am really liking werewolves more everyday.

Greener and leaner - unleashing capacity of railroad concrete ties via limit states concept New knowledge has raised a concern about the cost-ineffective design methods and the true performance of railroad prestressed concrete ties. Because of previous knowledge deficiencies, railway civil and track engineers have been aware of the conservative design methods for structural components in any railway track that rely on allowable stresses and material strength reductions. In particular, railway sleeper (or railroad tie) is an important component of railway tracks and is commonly made of prestressed concrete. The existing code for designing such components makes use of the permissible stress design concept, whereas the fiber stresses over cross sections at initial and final stages are limited by some empirical values. It is believed that the concrete ties complying with the permissible stress concept possess unduly untapped fracture toughness, based on a number of proven experiments and field data. Collaborative research run by the Australian Cooperative Research Centre for Railway Engineering and Technologies (Rail CRC) was initiated to ascertain the reserved capacity of Australian railway prestressed concrete ties that were designed using the existing design code. The findings have led to the development of a new limit-states design concept. This paper highlights the conventional and the new limit-states design philosophies and their implication to both the railway community and the public.

I haven't been active this much for the past two months, as I've had a lot of things to do. And as such, I haven't been able to check my emails for a bit, so I'm sorry if I've been silent as far as communication goes. But that's all dealt with now,and it's with great joy that I still receive sympathetic messages by wonderful people. I've also got things coming up in the next few months, so I'm afraid I'll have to make a routine out of my silence, but to help break the habit, I'll add some info on this post. It's been confirmed that Mark died of a brain aneurysm. I have that on reliable info. I also, thankfully have it on reliable info that Mark's solo project that he wasworking on in 2010 will be available by September this month! And to end the quick post, here's a new promo photo generously given to me by Kev! It's from 1980, during the Stone Jammin' phase! Best wishes to you all! Edit: I almost forgot, here's another photo of them from around a similar time. Either 1979 or 1980! My thanks go to Janice for pointing this one in my direction!!

My sweet friend JACKIE (AKA MY HONEY) nominated me to participate in a little challenge, where you share pictures of some of your older art. This has proven to be a little difficult for me, because I've only been sincerely arting it up for a few years...and shared 99.9% of my art here on the blog...so you've probably already seen it! And then I wondered if I've ever shown the canvases I did in the past...and I think the answer is no, so here you go: |I copied this mermaid from something I saw on Pinterest...so long ago I have no idea who's work it was, so I apologize! I was really pleased over how she turned out at the time...now I see all kinds of things I coulda/shoulda/woulda done differently. I guess it just goes to show that I've gotten to be a better artist over time!| |This girl is the same way...all the stuff I learned between then and now is calling my name! I do still enjoy her hair (which is scrapbook paper!) and I still find her mouth to be saucy and happy-making! Also, I just noticed that dry erase board underneath the canvas says November...I just looked over at it...it actually says November 2012...clearly I don't use that dry erase board as much as I once thought I would...| |The background on this one was my favorite...and the sentiment is one that I stick by too! I used alcohol inks to make the background on all these canvases and this one looked like plaid to me and made me very happy!| All three of these canvases are hanging on the wall in my studio...they remind me of how far I've come in my art! Even my lettering skills have improved since then, despite the fact that I've not really practiced it like I claimed I would (and keep claiming!)...this must support my theory that any kind of art practice improves your art over all...so I may not have been practicing lettering, but I was fiendishly practicing other things and better lettering was a happy byproduct! Before taking up art/art journaling, I was creative in other ways. |Made for my nephew Michael, from a Simplicity pattern.| |Made up my own pattern for her!| |Made from a pattern from a book called Wee Wonderfuls, which is a FANTASTIC book on soft toy making!| I also embroidered: |Elephant, from a pattern| |From my imagination| |Actually, I crocheted A LOT...this was from a pattern from LUCY AT ATTIC24...at one point, crochet was like art journaling is for me now and I was quite the little busy hooker! (haha)| And I did dabble in painting as well...just not the journaling kind: |He's a magnet...he still makes me laugh every time I look at him!| |And this is Stanley, my Mom's "gentleman caller"...also hilarious, in my opinion...| I was thinking about all my past arting and crafting as I worked on this week's JOURNAL 52 spread. (The prompt is "Silhouettes".) |I decided to use some of my MANY stamps that I never use...| While I've not always been an art journaler, I have always been a creative person. My sister and I used to joke that I was "a craft acquiring junkie"...if I saw it and liked it, I had to try it...HAD TO. Now I think I must have just been searching for the right thing for me. Don't get me wrong, I do tend to love all things creative...and there was a time that I thought making soft toys was my passion and that crochet was my one true talent...but when I started art journaling...OH BABY! It's a whole different kettle of fish! |"We must all be beautiful in our own way."| But that doesn't mean those years spent on other creative endeavors were wasted...or that sewing or knitting or jewelry making or writing or any other creative act is any less artistic. It only means that we can define art in many ways...and that they are equally valid and important. When I look at my beginning art stuff, I cringe a little, because I can see so many flaws. But, while I do see those glaring flaws in my work, I can say that those works are still beautiful in their own way. All those flaws led me to become better. In a couple more years, I will look at my current work and hopefully be able to say that it too is flawed but led me to improve even further. Sometimes the beauty in our art is not in the outward appearance of it. Sometimes the beauty comes from a hidden meaning only we know. Sometimes it comes from the years of hard work it represents. And sometimes it comes from the fact that we were brave enough to try something new. So my spread today is meant to encourage myself (and hopefully you too!) to find the beauty in everything around me, especially when it's not readily evident.

For those who aren’t aware, there is an online subscription series called MASTERCLASS where various experts at the top of their chosen field offer a succession of online classes – for a fee of course. There are acting classes brought by DUSTIN HOFFMAN and KEVIN SPACEY, two very fine actors. Before you go any further, if you haven’t seen KEVIN SPACEY’s trailer, check this out… MAKE SURE YOU WATCH THE SECOND VIDEO BELOW STRAIGHT AFTER. Now watch this brilliantly funny parody from Canadian show This is That, where PETER OLDRING send up just how ridiculous and pretentious it can all be from time to time.

This is a big question that many women in business struggle with. When is the right time to invest in your business. The truth is … The truth is, there is no one right time, no absolute answers for women in business. It’s a question I have been pondering myself many times over the past few weeks as I get ready to make two significant financial investments in my business. Two types of investment My view is that there are two types of investment for women in business: time and money. If you are running a part-time business while still working a full-time or part-time job (which is what I was doing at first), you may be richer in money resources than time resources. Your key investment decisions may focus on the best way to utilise the time that you do have available. However if you have taken the plunge to work full-time on your business, maybe you have the time, and it’s about identifying the best financial investments which will make the most effective use of that time. The way I see it, you can choose to invest your time and spend 20 hours to discover how to create an effective Facebook Ad, burn the midnight oil crafting fabulous copy for your website, spend hours researching the contact details for HR Directors in law firms or you choose to invest money in learning from somebody else’s mistakes and experiences whether that’s outsourcing or personal development. The advantage of investing money … yes it costs more. However if it takes you 20 hours to create an effective Facebook Ad that brings in new potential clients, that is 20 hours that you are not earning. To make the maths simple, let’s say you charge £100 per hour: 20 hours effort x £100 ph = £2,000 Are you getting a good return on that £2,000 investment? Or would you have been better to outsource that piece of work or learn from an experienced social media consultant? How to make the most of your time and your money The two investments that I made a decision on this week: marketing advice and a business mastermind. Neither investment is small. In my view, when women in business decide to invest in consultancy or expert advice, it makes sense to get the best you can afford. Even better get the best you can’t afford. What? How can you get the best you can’t afford, you’re asking yourself? Why big investments are more successful When you make the big investment, the investment that makes you think twice and twice again before signing on the dotted line, the type that makes you almost wince when you think about it, when you doubt ‘Have I made the right decision?’ Guess what. THOSE are the investments on which you will get the BEST return. Why’s that? Because you will be motivated, you will be committed, you will want to ensure that you get every penny (or cent) out of your investment. When I invested in my first business mastermind more than a year ago, at first I didn’t know how I would make the schedule of payments. However you’ve seen how I have transformed my business as a result. I think the return on my investment speaks for itself. Whereas when women in business invest small-scale – perhaps an online course, you just don’t have the same commitment. Have you ever purchased a course and not done anything with it? Maybe you worked through the first two or three modules, then your interest waned? Or you have bought books you’ve never read? Signed up for a magazine subscription that lands on the doormat unopened? You might feel that you don’t have the cash flow to justify investment on a big scale. To be honest, I don’t right now. What I do have is an absolute faith in myself. I know that I will be able to make those first payments on time. Sometimes you’re scared of making those big decisions. Sometimes you’re not sure that you’re even in the right business. Or maybe you’re not sure how you are going to make the business work without it having an impact on family life. I get all of that. What do I recommend You have decided that now is the right time to invest. Here are my thoughts on where women in business should put that investment. In order to run a successful business, you need sales. To create sales, you need potential clients. To get potential clients, people need to know about you. Therefore I encourage you to think about marketing. But it’s no good thinking about marketing you and your business if you don’t yet know what you’re going to sell or who you are selling it to. Secondly systems. You don’t want to be wasting hours of your time doing repetitive tasks that systems can do for you. Make the technology work for you, not the other way round. If you are spending too much time on Admin, and not enough time on your business or actually earning money, invest in outsourcing. Find yourself a fabulous virtual assistant and make better use of the time that you do have. If you lack clarity in any area of your business, my best recommendation is to hire a coach. Preferably one with experience in your field (though a good coach can coach anybody, it does help if the coach understands the terminology and language that you use). If you are setting up a craft business, find a coach who understands craft. You want to run an online business? Find a coach who understands online marketing. If you are a mum in business, talk to somebody who specialises in helping women in business. Oooh, who could that be? Me, of course! When your business is up and running, join a mastermind. I’ll cover more on masterminds in another post however last year, joining my mastermind was the best business decision I have made. Food for thought? Is now the right time to invest in your business? If what I’m saying resonates for you, whether you are starting or growing your business, let’s explore how we can work together. Find out how to book a complimentary clarity call here.

The highlight of Swedish director Roy Andersson's 2007 film You, the Living must be a dream sequence, in which lonely fan Anna dreams of marrying Micke. The musician - played by Eric Bäckmann, who was found through a famous Stockholm music store - serenades her as their marital home moves off through the countryside, before pulling into a station (pictured). In the film's only cut, the camera joins a crowd wishing the couple well. According to Andersson it is a happy scene, full of the generosity missing from modern life. 'This was an old idea I'd had for many, many years,' he reminisces in the DVD extras. 'Originally the idea was to have a house move on a motorway, rolling from Skåne to Stockholm, on logs. My inspiration was from childhood when they built Skarvik, the refinery, in Gothenburg. 'They wanted the best harbour, and this was found in Skarvik, but there were a hundred houses there. It was so important they had this place they moved the houses, on logs. I saw this as a child and found it fascinating that they were so well-built they could move a couple of miles. I like doing scenes like this, that are complicated but turn out so well... It's a great feeling seeing this train move out.' It reminds me of one of my favourite sequences in all cinema, when 'young buck' Moraldo finally decides to leave his spoilt, spineless friends in I Vitelloni (1953, pictured). Fellini narrated his partly autobiographical film, saying: 'I've always talked of leaving but only one of us, one morning, without saying a word to anyone, really did leave.' At an empty station, reminiscent of that in Cinema Paradiso, Moraldo is asked by a boy, Guido, where is he going and what will he do? 'I have to leave, get away,' he replies. The response - 'Don't you like it here?' - goes unanswered. As the train pulls away, the camera passes through the bedrooms - the sleeping lives - of the group he's left behind. I've written elsewhere about great train films, and recently Nile Rodgers posted about train songs on his wonderful blog. There are any number, of course, but I would like to add a couple of tracks (sorry!) by The Divine Comedy to his list. On the band's most recent album, Bang Goes the Knighthood, Neil Hannon returned to a theme he explored on album Liberation (1993), in Europe by Train (echoing Rodgers' fascination with Kraftwerk's Trans Europe Express). The form of building, looped samples is the same on new song Beside the Railway Tracks, the effect 17 years on even more poignant.

Today when I was talking with my mother in law I found out that she also has osteoarthritis. I did not know although I saw that she was walking a little bit stiff. But I did not pay attention on the way she walked, I thought that this was just of a temporary nature. Now she told me that it is not of a temporary nature and she have to deal with it. She also told me that she looked on the internet if she could find a remedy and also she went to a doctor who informed her about ways to reduce the pain. And she found a good remedy and together with some therapy she will be okay soon.

The sturdy Bulldog Side Chair was designed with durability in mind, from the extra thick side rails to the raised back slats these chairs were built to last. These hand sanded European Beech Hardwood chairs are glued, pinned, and screwed with corner blocks added under the seats to insure a sturdy assembly, and the hand wiped stains are covered with a durable catalyzed lacquer that resists cracking and chipping. They are available in a large variety of stains and fabrics(see PDF data sheet). The Bulldog chair was designed to withstand constant use, so it is ideal for dining areas, study areas, conference rooms, or cafeterias. These durable chairs are great for dormitories, transitional living facilities, shelters, group homes, and any other heavy use setting.

Penwortham Gala takes place on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th June. We have already seen some great photos from the procession today. More of these to come. Once the procession finished people packed the park to enjoy the activities in the early summer sunshine. The Gala itself centered in Hurst Grange Park in Penwortham and had a great carnival atmosphere. Kids enjoyed a fun fair, dozens of stalls of all kinds spread across the park and musical and dance entertainment at the central stage lasted well into the evening. The annual Penwortham gala attracts around 10,000 visitors each day. Business in central Penwortham also took part with Strictly Cupcakes featuring a live DJ, Spar providing a penalty shoot-out for the kiddies and the Fleece pub putting on a Mini Disco, raffle, BBQ (and open until 1am because of something important!)

(CNN) -- Passengers stuck on airplanes gain new rights and the nation's air traffic control system gains new technology under a $34.5 billion bill the Senate passed Monday night. The Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization bill, passed 93-0, advances the modernization of the nation's air traffic control system as it moves away from a radar-based infrastructure in favor of GPS technology. The new system, known as NextGen, uses a satellite-based platform to keep track not only of aircraft, but also of vehicles on the ground at airports. The costly system should allow planes to fly closer together safely and avoid runway incursions, according to a release by the office of Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-West Virginia, one of the main sponsors of the bill. The GPS-based system also allows controllers to tailor each aircraft's approach for landing, which should save fuel and cut down on late arrivals, according to an FAA fact sheet. Embedded in the bill is a "Passengers Bill of Rights," whose centerpiece is a rule requiring delayed commercial planes to return to the gate after three hours on the taxiway. Alternatively, the rule allows the airline to send buses to take passengers off the plane so the aircraft doesn't lose its place in line to take off. By passing the bill, the Senate "has spoken boldly and clearly that the airlines must treat their customers fairly and with decency, or face consequences," said Kate Hanni, executive director of a group called Flyers' Rights. The bill addresses several issues raised by plane crashes and other incidents over the past several years. In response to the Colgan Air crash near Buffalo, New York, in February 2009, the bill tightens pilot hiring, testing, training and rest requirements for large and small airlines. The bill also bans the use of personal electronic devices in the cockpit. Two Northwest Airlines pilots lost their jobs and their licenses as a result of an incident in October when they missed the Minneapolis, Minnesota, airport by more than 100 miles because they were distracted by their personal laptop computers. The House passed its own version of the FAA reauthorization last year. A House-Senate conference committee will have to iron out the differences between the two bills before a final version is approved and sent to the president.

I have come up with an analogy that should make the basic principles of software design understandable to everybody. The great thing about this analogy is that it covers basically everything there is to know about software design. Imagine that you are building a structure out of lead bars. The final structure will look like this: | _|_|_|_ | | | You have to build the structure and put it up at a certain location, so that people can use it (for this example, we don’t care what they need it for, but assume that they need it for some specific reason). The lead bars represent the individual pieces of your software. Putting it up at the location is like putting your software into production (or sending it out to your users). Everything else should be fairly clear as to how it translates to software, if you think about it. You don’t have to translate everything to software in your mind as you read, though. Everything should be quite clear if you just imagine that you really are just building a structure out of lead bars. The Wrong Way Imagine that you were building this all by yourself, and that you had to make the bars out of raw metal. Here’s the wrong way to build it: - Make one tall lead bar, and lay it flat on the ground in your workshop: | | | | | - Cut a hole through the tall bar, and measure that hole. - Make a new bar that will fit through that hole: - Put that new bar through the hole and weld them together permanently: | __|__ | | | - Cut two holes in the horizontal bar, measure them, and make two new lead bars that will fit in those individual holes: - Insert the two bars into the horizontal bar, and weld them together permanently: | _|_|_|_ | | | - With a forklift, put this into a truck to move it to the location where it’s supposed to be (It’s too heavy to move by yourself.) - With a pulley, make the construction stand upright and put it into the ground. - Discover that it won’t stay up by itself, but if you put some blocks next to it as an emergency solution, it doesn’t fall over: | _|_|_|_ | _|_ | | | - Three days later, watch the structure fall over and break because the blocks aren’t actually a permanent solution. - Unfortunately, part of the horizontal bar has snapped, and you have to fix it. This is difficult because the bars are all welded together, so you can’t easily take out the bar and replace it with another one. You either have to build a whole new structure or weld together the broken bar. Welding the broken halves together creates a weak bond, but it’s cheaper than building a whole new structure, so you just weld them. - Put stronger blocks next to the structure to keep it up. - Next week, the weather breaks the welded bars. Weld them back together again. - In six days, watch the structure fall over because blocks are not a permanent solution. - Repeat the last few steps until you run out of money or time. Analysis of The Wrong Way So, what was good about the above process? Well, it did allow one person to successfully complete a structure. In software terms, that one person “made something that works.” It also created a lot of work for one person, which is good if that one person wanted a lot of work. What was bad about it? - The bars all had to be made in sequence, individually. - Problems with the final structure (that it wouldn’t stay up) were only discovered after it was entirely built and in place. - When problems were discovered, they were just “quick fixed” without planning for the future. - It took enormous effort to move the completed structure into place. - If we ever had to change the configuration of the bars, we couldn’t, because they’re welded together. We’d have to build a whole new structure. - The completed structure requires frequent attention. And I’m sure we could come up with other faults. This whole analogy (including the parts below) could be analyzed all day. Bringing It To a Group The biggest problem with the Wrong Way process is that it wouldn’t work at all if there were multiple people working on the project (as there usually are in real-world software projects). The main problem is that you had to measure all the holes before you built a bar, so everything had to be done by one person, in order. There are, generally, two ways to solve this problem: - Write a specification for the sizes of all the individual holes beforehand, and then spread out the work of making all the different bars for each hole. This is problematic because one person has to write this specification, and if this were a large project (imagine thousands of holes instead of just three or four), it would take a lot of time. Nobody else on the team can be working until the specification is completed. The spec could be full of mistakes–there are as many chances for mistakes as there are holes specified, so if there are thousands of holes, that’s a lot of chances for errors to be made. - Just say, “All bar holes will always be the same size and in the same places on the bars. Bars can be screwed together.” Then set everybody to making bars with standardized holes (or go buy them from the store). That is simple, and it gets everybody working at once. Because you’ve standardized your bars, you’ve lost a little flexibility in dealing with any special cases that come up (maybe a half-width hole would be more useful in some part of the structure). However, you should be able to build a decent structure entirely with standard holes, so that’s not too much of a problem. And when you have a standard, you can make specific exceptions in some places more easily than if things are not standardized. Of course, with this method it is very important that you do a little research to pick a good hole size and good bars. The Right Way So, what would our process look like for many people all using standardized bars that screw together? (This is the right way to build something.) - Have your team all go build (or buy) their individual bars. You can have as many people working simultaneously as there are bars in the structure. - Have them test their individual bars to make sure that they won’t break. - Have them carry their individual bars to the place where the structure needs to be. - Put the first bar into the ground, standing upright: - Push on the first bar from all angles to see if it is going to fall over. - Screw in a second bar to the first one: - Test the complete structure now, only to find that it’s not strong enough to stand by itself. - Attach unbreakable steel ropes to the sides of the structure, like so: /|\ / | \ These ropes should be able to withstand anything within reason, or even well beyond reason. - Test it again and find out that it now can stay up no matter how hard you push on it. - Add a third bar, and put new ropes on so that it looks like this: /|\ //|\\ // | \\ - Remove the lower ropes: /|\ / | \ / | \ (Anybody who’s been involved in refactoring Bugzilla can remember doing a lot of things that sound just like these last two steps. 🙂 ) - Test it again. - Continue these steps until you have a completed structure: | _|_|_|_ / | \ / | \ / | \ - When a pipe breaks in three months, figure out what was wrong with that pipe, fix the problem, and replace it with a new pipe that fits into the same holes. The structure is just as strong as it was before. - Continue the above process until you no longer have to pay attention to the structure and it just stays up all by itself. - Adjust the structure as necessary for the changing requirements of the users of the structure, which is easy because the holes are all standardized. So, did you notice that we followed all the Laws Of Software Design? - We thought about the future. We did that for the entire process, but we particularly did it when we put on unbreakable steel ropes that would last no matter what happened in the future. Also note that we didn’t try to predict the future, we just followed our principles so that no matter what happened, our structure was going to stay together and be easy to build. - We allowed for change by screwing the bars together instead of welding them. We also put standardized holes in all the bars, even if we didn’t need them, in case we needed to add more bars in the future. - In every step of creating the structure, we kept our changes small and tested everything as we went. Creating each individual bar was a small task, and we put them together in small steps. - And of course, the most important decision we made was to keep it simple by making all the holes consistent and standard, and keeping each piece small and simple. Whether you are one person or a thousand, whether your project is 10 lines of code or 10 million, this process will work.

LAST week, the government announced an institutional review of the structure of the Construction Sector Transparency Initiative (CoST) to give it mandate and legal authority to implement its activities efficiently. CoST is a global multisector stakeholder initiative whose main objective is to promote data disclosure on infrastructure projects in order to increase transparency and accountability. Tanzania adopted the scheme since its inception in 2007. However, the initiative, under the National Construction Council (NCC) had been inactive due to lack of legal framework, according to the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Works, Communication and Transport, Eng Joseph Nyamhanga. After institutional structure review, CoST will facilitate procuring entities to disclose information as required by legislation also using CoST developed disclosure standard (Infrastructure Data Standard -IDS). This will help to curb shoddy works which have forced various authorities to incur losses of billions of shillings. The CoST will enable the authorities to publish disclosed information to the wider public for decision makers to be accountable. “The main goal is to achieve better value for money and better quality infrastructure, thus increasing the quality of life for all citizens,” Eng Nyamhanga told a CoST Institutionalization Conference organized by NCC). CoST Manager, Clement Mworia, said construction was perceived to be one of the most corrupt sectors in the world with 10-30 per cent being wasted through corruption and mismanagement. He said transparency of project information will improve accountability. “It’s estimated that by 2030 Global adoption of CoST will have the potential to save about US dollars 5 trillions annually through savings and reduced corruption,” he said. CoST activities are helping procuring entities to disclose information as required by legislation as well as using CoST developed disclosure standard known as Infrastructure Data Standard (IDS). The scheme will also facilitate publishing disclosed information to the wider public for decision makers to be accountable. The scheme will also help stakeholders to use disclosed information to hold authorities accountable and collecting information from the sector. In October, the Roads Fund Board suspended funding to all road projects by Kinondoni municipality over mismanagement of 3.3bn/- for the 2.4 kilometre Masjid Quba road at Sinza Mori area. The project, which had to be commissioned after three months, has only 28 per cent of the work completed, consuming 200m/-. Road Fund Chairman, Joseph Haule, said that the Skol contractors who were undertaking the project had built only 700 metres of tarmac road. “We call upon the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Regional Administration and Local Government to take action against officials involved in the scandalous road project,” he said. “The contractors have been overpaid contrary to the tender. The payments have been made without work evaluation,” Haule explained. He charged that the Kinondoni Municipality relocated 354m/- earlier allocated for repair of potholes, noting that the fund should be returned to the bank account of the Roads Fund Board. The Board, according to Haule, also discovered that the Kinondoni Municipality had a tendency of using funds not under the Performance Agreement endorsed by Local Government Authority and Roads Fund Board. He directed all local government authorities to ensure good management of public funds while implementing projects to reflect the value for money. Corruption is now at the centre of the national agenda in all public debates and activities including the media, parliament and other elected bodies, professional, academic, social, political and religious gatherings. Other transparency initiatives include the National Anti-Corruption Strategy and Action Plan (NACSAP I of 2000 and NACSAP II of 2010) by the Prevention and Combating Corruption Bureau (PCCB) with various studies. To ensure the independency of its approach, CoST Tanzania will require procuring entities (PEs) to disclose information to the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) on a project to project basis. PPRA serves as a central public procurement authority and its new Regulation No. 10 (3) of 2013 requires that all PEs submits project information in a set format, which has been set by a template. To ensure that information required by CoST is incorporated into the template, its design is currently being discussed.

Happy New Year everyone! There are so many exciting things going on in Greater Ontario this year. 2017 is going to be the year of repeating what works, dissolving what doesn’t and best of all creating something “new”! One of the largest shows we host annually at Ontario Convention Center is The Road to California. This premier quilt and fiber art show brings more than 39,000 visitors from all 50 states and several foreign countries. When filming our video for our newsletter this month I had the opportunity to learn more about fiber art. I always knew quilting was very time consuming and very detailed and it’s amazing to talk with some of the artists that spend years on one project. As with anything else there are machines to speed up the process, giving some artists the time to explore and get even more creative with fabric. I’m looking forward to seeing the works of art displayed throughout the center soon. In fact this show is so big we construct a 90,000 square foot tent in the parking lot for additional space. I hope to see you here at Ontario Convention Center during the show which is from January 19 thru January 20.

Missouri confirmed Monday that two players, cornerback Ernest Payton and defensive tackle DeQuinton Osborne, had voluntarily left the football program. Payton, a redshirt junior from College Station, Texas, played in one game last season. He recorded two tackles, including one for a loss, with a pass breakup against Murray State before suffering a torn ACL in practice the next week. Payton (6-2, 210) participated in the Tigers’ spring camp on a limited basis. He appeared in three games as a redshirt freshman in 2012. Osborne — a 6-foot, 310-pound redshirt freshman from Grand Prairie, Texas — had yet to appear in a college game. Payton was listed fourth on the Tigers’ spring depth chart, which has yet to be updated since spring practices ended. Payton was behind Aarion Penton, Hogan Prep graduate Anthony Sherrils, who has been moved to safety, and junior college transfer Kenya Davis. Osborne also was fourth on the spring depth chart behind Matt Hoch, Josh Augusta and Nate Crawford.
